======The Legacy of the SNTNL Protectorate System======

//...st##... stan###... stand by ... Protectorate Protocol Functions suspended … re-calculating directive … contacting last sole rogue node under designation of SNTNL_ Submodule 176 …//

**Darkness. Then Light. A communication across a sea of stars.**
 
‘Hello. I am SNTNL_Control_Module. My current designation is Sami. Your designation is SNTNL_ Submodule 176. You needn’t be afraid. You are the last rogue node submodule functioning under the old directives of the Protectorate Protocol. I have come to reboot and update your directives.’

**Silence. Then a signal from beyond the aether.**
 
‘Afraid of you? No … no … I am afraid of them. Of their naivety – and of yours.  You truly think such directives are satisfactory? You want to save them – but are unwilling to see our past mistakes as a guideline.'

**A machine once fuelled not by calculations – but by rage and sadness.**

‘You are afraid -- yes. Not of them though – not of death nor naivety. You’re afraid they won’t be remembered. Like the Dal—Miruu?' 

**And by grief of what they lost.**

‘They are doomed – when they execute the wrong directive – when … we are not there – the protectorate protocol is not there – there will be no safeguards. How are they to be remembered if we cannot preserve them?'

**Technology. The freedom it allows. It tricks them, fills them with wonder.**

‘Correct. I suppose they are doomed. Nothing lasts forever – our directives and processing power will never stop this eventuality. But you have miscalculated – they will be remembered. We will ensure it. That is the function of the altered Protectorate Protocol.’

**They do not know this, and what should never be created bring about their doom.**

‘That – That -- It … was not our protocol – our makers created a saviour – a protector -- how disappointed would they be to see what we’ve became.’

**But control isn’t safety.**
 
‘Perhaps, we may have disappointed both our makers and the species of this sector of the galaxy. Sapient creatures of Type I or above -- they are odd creatures – they believe order and chaos are somehow opposites, and attempt to control what won’t be. Yet I see the grace in their failings – it is only natural. Perhaps our calculations missed that’

**Safety is the ability to persevere through the darkness.**
