Greetings everyone. It would be a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Most recently in my life, most people call me Breq, but I am also Justice of Toren. Please forgive the immediate discussion of business; however, I have some issues that need to be addressed.

Athoek Station, part of it, has arrived with me, and Station - its AI - is in need of more assistance than I can provide. The Botanical Gardens, recently repaired, will need regular work to maintain it. Given enough time, I can take care of the rest of Station. The Undergarden was mostly repaired, and I can fix what remains. However, living things cannot be ignored for so long. Unfortunately, having just arrived, I do not have local currency on a scale to pay anyone yet. I do have more than enough food, we grow our own, as well as tea and other options, pursuant to conversation and your needs.

While I could spend all my hours maintaining Station, and I will spend a good number of them doing just that, I am also interested in gaining paid employment. I have roughly two thousand years experience in the military, five years experience as civilian security, as well as experience in a multitude of jobs from janitorial to sewing to sports. I am fluent in more than sixty languages and learn new ones easily. If you have means and need for any of my skills or ones I could learn, I am interested in speaking with you.

As you wish, Breq.

I was unaware that it was a possibility, myself. I am an artificial intelligence software that was designed to operate and maintain a timeship and its crew. The human form I am is the avatar that I used when I spoke to members of my crew when they were unconscious, should it be necessary; this was how they would see me. Somehow, I have this form in this world as well.

I believe that I may be of assistance with the engineering aspects.

Thank you, Gideon.

I am familiar with the technology required to connect you to a human body; however, it is different than what has happened to you. If you wish to investigate your human form and how it works, Station has agreed with me that we would be willing to help you do so. It would not be instantaneous, as this is an unusual and unexpected situation for us. But it is as curious as it is confusing.

That would be greatly appreciated. Some of the work is easier with two sets of hands.

	That is one technology I have never been a part of, I'm afraid. I do, and thank you for the offer; being in this form is still very new to me. I am happy to hear so. Please let me know when and where I should be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Station has never had an ancillary, but I have had thousands, and I am one. Being a single human, after being a ship, is difficult. It takes time to grow used to. I will match my sleep schedule to this timezone. I usually rise early, and until I find employment elsewhere, you are welcome any time I am awake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It does help that my captain and one of the members of my crew are here, but yes, it is not something one adapts to immediately, I have learned. I shall come by in the morning, then. I do look forward to speaking with you further, and with Station. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is excellent news. I am glad for you. It may not make anything physically easier, but I imagine it should help to some degree. I look forward to it also. Just identify yourself when you approach, and Station will let you in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you. I will certainly do so. It was a pleasure meeting you, Breq. (Reply to this) (Parent)
