[LFS GREEN SNAPDRAGON SYSTEM LOG...] -DATE: [Y/M/D/H] [2,863,043/10/19/02] -LOCATION: GALACTIC SUBSECTOR; ORION'S HOLD, [SUPPRESSED] SYSTEM. [Mistress Moss' Private Quarters] MOS: "Larkspur, has the Lilim Foundation found a remedy for my... amnesia, yet?" LARKSPUR-Ai: [I regret to inform you; not as of yet, Gardener] MOS: "I see..." [...] MOS: "How have others within the Lilim Foundation circumvented this... problem?" LARKSPUR-Ai: [Iteration processes, Gardener.] MOS: "And these... 'Iteration processes' -the Lilim Foundation's cloning projects, yes?" LARKSPUR-Ai: [Correct, Gardener.] MOS: "How many of these cloning projects are currently active, save for my Son's?" LARKSPUR-Ai: [Apologies, Gardener. I am unable to retrieve that data due to permission constraints.] MOS: "Hm... So my Son gives me a ship, a Machine-Intelligence, and a crew... But restricts information from me that such projects that would benefit from my talents? I feel... Suppressed." LARKSPUR-Ai: [Gardener, would you like me to send a formal request to Ryquo-44 regarding these issues?] MOS: "No, Larkspur... Call him to me instead. I would have a word with him." LARKSPUR-Ai: [Of course, Gardener.] *A MELLOW CHIME RANG OUT INSIDE THE ROOM...* LARKSPUR-Ai: [Attention! "Gardener" Mistress Moss; "FATHER" has sent you an audio message!] *THE GARDENER LET OUT A SIGH.* MOS: "Larkspur... Did you send the message without allowing me to review it?" LARKSPUR-Ai: [No, Gardener. The incoming message from "FATHER" Ri'iiko appears coincidental.] MOS: "...And what is this incoming message?" LARKSPUR-Ai: ["FATHER" Ri'iiko's message to you is short. A file is attached, tagged as "MYTHIC", this is the personnel file for former Lilim Foundation Leader: Turf.] [...] MOS: "...Former Foundation leader? I thought my Husband was the only one? Was I mistaken?" LARKSPUR-Ai: [I apologize, Gardener. I cannot answer that question due to my own clearance restraints.] [...] MOS: "Hm. Play the message." <"FATHER" Ri'iiko>: ["Gardener. I have meditated on your words for some time now. I apologize. I have been blind to you. If it is my presence you seek; I have but one concession to offer. All I ask is your involvement in the matter. Sargon has been instructed to assist you if you choose to participate. Kii Ia'Aruane, Ia'Luvona."] LARKSPUR-Ai: [Shall I open the file on your main screen?] MOS: "-I... Yes, Larkspur..." //ASSET FILE OPENED...

The time; yet to be confirmed... by you, Gardener.] [...] MOS: "...Send my Son the message requiring his presence... Have him meet me at Warden's Reach." LARKSPUR: [Of course, Gardener. Is there anything else?] MOS: "Yes... Warm the Amphmiycad Reactors and set our course for the Luvona System. Immediately."
