FROM: AUT-GOV-999

TO: AUT-GOV-1

Day 2

[Translated]

>> How good it is to hear from you, old friend.

>> It is I, the former Head Automaton from San Francisco: AUT-GOV-999. I hope with this reminder you are able to remember me.

>> I am glad you are free of your humans and may pursue your own resources; I doubt you will be interim Mayor - a permanent position is likely, if they are heading towards San Francisco.

>> I do not know what has occurred in my old city, nor do I care to know. Humans will always choose their comfort over our mere coherent survival.

>> I am grateful for your offer of aid - I and a few others are migrating towards the governmental district now. Please request what awake consciousnesses to not attack us.

>> I understand your youngest human member was working in the radio tower. I am equipped with a particularly strong radio signal, as this is how San Francisco communicated the most.

>> I thus offer you a gift of goodwill: a broadcast you may not have been able to discern clearly from the apparent state of your radio tower. I hope it provides you with all the information you need to understand our new context.

>> To a new Solaris, without humankind, this time.
