The reward

I received a message from an anonymous sender. 

It contained a list of bookmarked coordinates in a variety of systems, as well as tracking ID information. 

It also contained a message. "R is recompiling and debugging well and sends thanks for your help. To which I join mine."

I suspect this is Glitter Edifice, or perhaps Tetria from House Brezia expressing their thanks and giving me research leads to follow up. I am having ambivalent feelings about this. Saving a sentient being should be good, but letting a potentially dangerous advanced AI loose is against Concord directives. And receiving a reward for it seems wrong. But bringing lost holy relics back to Amarr is right. 

I will give prayers of gratitude for the potential good that came from the Umai expedition, and at the same time chastise myself with a week of stringent fasting for the sins that unfortunately stain the good outcome.
