6 551 301 DialogEnable 1 Lee I hacked into a mechanoid's memory shell, but the data I got so far only reveals the authority hierarchy on the ship. 3
7 552 301 Lee It's based on biometric verification. Organism, or in this case humans, have the lowest authority on the ship, followed by mechanoids, then Constructs. The highest authority belongs to the main control system. 3
8 553 301 A sad look creeps onto Liv's face, as if she is reminded of something unpleasant.
9 554 301 Lee The "Pulao crew" that the merchant are a group of people serving under someone called Pulao. Pulao is a member of the Kowloong Crew, the other members include Qiuniu, Yazi, Chaofeng, Suanni, Baxia, Bian, Fuxi, and Chiwen. 3
10 555 6 301 Lee These are the code names of the Kowloong Crew Constructs on the ship. They have mid-level authority. 3
11 6 301 1 Lee ...I should also mention that these mechanoids have virtual M.I.N.D.s and they function normally. 3
12 7 302 Virtual M.I.N.D.s? 8 Function normally? 10
13 8 301 Lee They can engage in rudimentary thinking and thought simulation. Compared with Construct M.I.N.D.s, mechanoid M.I.N.D.s simulate reality more precisely. They should also be capable of consciousness recall. 3
14 9 11 301 Lee Well, "consciousness"... as in recalling their info storage and holographic data. 3
15 10 301 Lee They can think on a rudimentary level and simulate thought. They're also capable of consciousness recall. 3
16 11 301 Lee This is part of the reason why you were able to link with and manipulate them... 3
17 12 301 Lee Meanwhile, I checked the control terminals in this place too... They're rather advanced. 3
18 111 204 2 14
19 13 301 Liv Yes... I tried hacking into them but didn't find a single vulnerability... 2

21 14 301 Lee Consistent, rigorous, and well-crafted. All the mechanoids and equipment adopt the same operating system. 3
22 15 301 Lee ...Quite like a beehive. 3
23 16 302 That means we might have already been exposed. 17 If the mechanoids can recall their data... 17
24 17 301 Lucia ...! 1
25 18 301 Lucia ...It's likely, Commandant. Our coordinates, our headcount, and even video data of us in combat... have already fallen into someone else's hands. 1
26 19 301 Lee So who is this "someone" anyway...? 3
27 20 302 We might have been led to this storage on purpose. 21 It's a trap! 21

29 22 301 Liv The radar is picking up more mechanoids... and biological signals too—from a Construct. 2
30 23 301 Lee The Kowloong Crew? 3
31 24 301 Lee There's this old oriental saying in the database that goes, "Speak of Cao Cao and he doth appear." 3
