While the girls were searching for the Dawn Shard, Wesley and Jaakuna were trying to figure out the mecahnics of the computer that they spotted that Jaakuna pointed out was, if one were to dumb it down, was connected to the ship’s mainframe pretty much. What Jaakuna had told Wesley was that it was connected to the engine, the ship’s weapons systems, and its security system. When Wesley would fiddle around with the controls, he noticed that it was much more connected to just the ship’s mainframe.

[b]“Jaakuna, take a look at this.” [/b]Wesley said, pointing to the screen.

Jaakuna looked, but couldn’t see what Wesley was pointing to. [b]“What is it? I don’t see what you’re pointing to.”[/b] He said confused.

Wesley enlarged the picture and Jaakuna saw it. [b]“See it now?”[/b]

When Jaakuna saw it, he couldn’t believe it. [b]“This can’t be..” [/b]Jaakuna said dumbfounded. “But how?” Jaakuna asked to himself, but aloud to where Wesley could hear it.

Wesley wondered the same thing. [b]“I don’t know how they did it, but it seems that this ship is able to access AI technologies, much like your ship.”[/b]

Jaakuna just couldn’t believe it. [b]“But there’s more to that it seems. There’s something that’s missing…it’s the intelligence part. They don’t have the one key part that makes an AI live aboard a ship. Do you think that’s what they need the Dawn Shard for?”[/b] Jaakuna asked Wesley.

Wesley nodded in agreement to Jaakuna’s question. [b]“That must be it. Or else, I fear that it’s something far worse than that.”[/b]

Jaakuna looked troubled. He didn’t think that this was what they wanted the Nethicite for. If he had known this, Jaakuna wouldn’t have been so careless for such a thing. [b]“We need to destroy it.”[/b] He said, [b]“If we don’t, then we’ll seriously be in trouble. If either empire get their hands on this kind of AI technology, then we’re all fucked.”[/b] Jaakuna said.

Wesley agreed with Jaakuna and he would close out of that window of the schematics for the AI for now and he would follow Jaakuna over to the girls who would have just said that they found the Dawn Shard.

As the guys would head over to where the ladies are at, Savayna heard Emiri and Nadeline call out as they found the Dawn Shard. [b]“Well it’s about fucking time. Grab it and let’s go.”[/b]

When Savayna said that, Jaakuna and Wesley were in ear shot. [b]“No, we have to destroy it now!”[/b]

Though Wesley would usually disagree with Jaakuna, he agreed. [b]“They’re after AI technology with Nethicite. So, I am with Jaakuna on this one. We need to destroy the Dawn Shard.”[/b]

Savayna looked at them like they were stupid. [b]“What are you fucking stupid? If we destroy it in the machine, the ship could go down and we want to live, right?” [/b]She said with an attitude.

Jaakuna was angry with Savayna at the moment. “Damn it, Savayna! Don’t you see that if any empire get either shard, we’ll all be in danger! Or do you not care about your father or mother?” Jaakuna had snapped.

Savayna’s eyes widened. [b]“You have no right to speak to them! Not after what you did!”

“You really want to go into this now? IF you want to blame me for leaving three years ago or whatever, then you can, but right now we NEED to destroy it.”[/b]

Savayna conceded for the moment, but Jaakuna didn’t know what Nadeline or Emiri thought about this, so he turned to them. [b]“You two agree with Wesley and I right?”[/b]
