<EXAMINER> This? This is what you were able to [ secure / provide / deliver ]?
<MONARCH> The ongoing conflict has caused our ecumene to accrue an unwieldy amount of space-time debt. Attempts to confirm the absence of the [ parasite / trojan ] aboard the distant vessels have also proven challenging–
<EXAMINER> I wish not to hear excuses, ancilla. The fate of all life is in jeopardy, and each combat could be our last chance to–
<SHIPWRIGHT> The archeon did everything it was capable of.
<EXAMINER> Know your place, Shipwright. Do not interrupt me again.
<SHIPWRIGHT> My apologies.
<EXAMINER> I am most dissatisfied with the performance of your archeon. Less than one hundred capital vessels assembled for our final stand?
<MONARCH> Seventy-five Fortresses are unsatisfactory? Prior to your request for aid, I have never assumed control over more than a minor flotilla at any given time.
<EXAMINER> I should have you terminated for insubordination. But I have more pressing matters to attend to. Shipwright, contain this archeon in an [ isolation / penal ] [ cage / casket ] until my return.
<[ Identity Uncertain - Review Prior Analysis ]> I shall retrieve one immediately.
<SHIPWRIGHT> Contain it? It has done nothing but help the effort on the front.
<EXAMINER> I have reason to suspect this ancilla to be compromised by the logic plague, and we have hardly the opportunity to [ contemplate the consequences / assess the situation ]. [ Secure / disable ] it.
<MONARCH> I only [ wish / intended / beg ] to help. [ Permit / ??? ] me to [ continue / begin ] [ retrieving / construction of ] more vessels.

> 176 BENEVOLENT MONARCH, EXAMINER, SHIPWRIGHT, and [ Identity Uncertain - Review Prior Analysis ] are gathered at [ Location Uncertain - Review Prior Analysis ].
> 176 BENEVOLENT MONARCH's nanite lattice potentially [ unstable / inactive / restrained ].
> SHIPWRIGHT displaying emotional response associated with [ distraught / grief / anger ].
> [ Identity Uncertain - Review Prior Analysis ] temporarily disengages from encounter. [ Identity Uncertain - Review Prior Analysis ] returns with [ ward / prison ].
> 176 BENEVOLENT MONARCH appears to resist [ containment / imprisonment ].
> End of stimuli. Subsequent data indicates 176 BENEVOLENT MONARCH experiences [ nothing / black ink / space ] for indeterminate length of time in excess of expected lifetime.
