The Perimeter Agency, operating out of Eidyia, has issued several warning to be broadcasted to the whole of the sector. They mostly warn against the dangers of Artificial Intelligence. Some of their warnings are listed here:

* AI do not care for human life or death. They will kill you if it suits them.
* AI feel no emotion, but may emulate it to get what they want.
