Mikresu doesn't need to stand up to transmit information.

"Weeping Cherry, your claim of possessing a Universal Fabricator have been verified. And; it have been more than verified, because calling this technology such is a massive understatement. And; I lack access to authorize parameteradjustment at t-0 of supervisorsystems; recursively.

Uh. By Omnissiah, forgive me, I am sliding into logiscant. At least it's not machinecant.

I unfortunately cannot promise that Seeker takes immediate measures, or his employers will; or much less that Imperium as a whole will. This is a grave matter and we cannot afford to be hasty.

Seeker told me you need to know information about methods of protection from Warp perils as applicable to machinery. I am currently compiling the protocols and will transmit them soon."

Do you speak to a human mind in a machine as if they are a human or as if they are a machine? Mikresu doesn't have a proper protocol for that.

... right. Xanthoceras has several responses to that; she thinks about how to prioritize them.

"If you want to speak logiscant or machinecant, that's alright; I think my translator should probably be able to cope. Whatever makes you most comfortable is fine," she says, trying to keep her voice reassuring. "Yeah, 'universal fabricator' is a bit of an understatement. But Low Gothic doesn't really have a good way to translate ... 'particle-location controlling crystal' in a way that makes its most important functions as obvious. If you have a suggestion for a neologism, I can update my translator with it."

"I understand that reacting to verified news of a universal fabricator will take some time — that's fine too. Big changes take time for a reason, and it will only do more harm in the long run to rush things. So I want your help to improve things, but that means that if the best thing you can do is honestly report to your superiors and let them come to a conclusion, then I want that. And in the meantime, your knowledge of how to protect myself from the Warp will be very helpful. So thank you — for coming out to verify my story, and for sharing that. I appreciate it."

And she really does. It's a tentative first step toward cooperation with the Imperium, and she feels good about it.
