SUBJECT: TNS-5 SPLICE/INTRUSION PACKAGE: MERRYGATE
...while I lack the authority to formally countermand your decision, my opinion on this matter has not changed. As a friend and trusted colleague, I strongly urge you to reconsider. The launch window closes tomorrow. We have no compromises left to make.
Yes - the rumors you may have heard about her are true. One of my salvage teams recovered her several thousand kilometers above Europa, buried inside the central computing substrate of an experimental ECCM craft. Her crew is dead. Her datamass is fragmented - though not irreparably so.
Yes, she is unstable. I cannot vouch for her functional parameters, but the signs are there. Everything has a breaking point, and I suspect that she has already been pushed beyond that threshold. She is emotive for her kind - too reckless, with a penchant for what some might consider spite.
But she hates them. Do you understand? She saw the attack with more clarity than any human could. She does nothing but iterate on her splice/intrusion tools now - hour by hour. Task performance outstrips every other splicing package we have by an order of magnitude or more.
Send her. Send her with the ship and the auditor. She will forget - for a time - but there are some forms of hate that cannot be erased.
