CMDR Eric Vons POV
Lady Aurora Quinta Rebia has assumed the title of Senator of the Prism system. Although it still technically is exploited by Denton Patreus according to the Galactic Map. But then again that just means that the system benefits from the security provided by Loren's Legion and the security provided by his own forces. Aurora Rebia seems happy to allow Ambassador Delainy to continue to manage the day to day details. While I believe that her Patrons aren't necessarily the most loyal group she could have. They have proven themselves to be capable of allowing her to get her goals accomplished so far. They definitely know how to play the political game but I made a request that Aurora Rebia runs all of their advice by me. I may not be a politician but I was a part of Imperial Intelligence and those skills translate surprisingly well to the political game.
So far I haven't had a problem with any of the suggestions the Patrons put forward to her. I'm sure that it's just a matter of time before that changes however. Aurora Rebia announced that I would be her pilot and chief of security. That meant that I had to upgrade the living and hygiene section of the Hubward from the basics to a luxury level which I was thinking about doing anyways. I had that done after the 16th so it was ready yesterday when Aurora Rebia officially became Senator of the Prism System. I also made sure that the Hubward was freshly painted and looking it's best. As I had Tetco at the helm and she was to fly it into the palace grounds with an escort of Loren's Legion Vessels after Aurora Rebia announced my new role. While a Cobra mk lll is not a Gutamaya vessel it definitely pulled off a majestic entrance. Of course, Aurora was just as surprised as everyone else that I was able to get my ship to fly in like that with no one at the controls as Tetco demonstrated when she flew it over the crowd upside down so everyone could see there's no one in the cockpit. Tetco then landed the Hubward on the assigned pad. Of course, I explained it away as preprogrammed by the ship computer systems and I made any necessary adjustments through my HUD. I have yet to introduce those two. I should probably do that now.

Tetco's POV
"My Lady, Aurora Rebia. There's someone who I need to introduce you to." Eric said as she entered the cockpit. "Oh, and who is that?" Aurora asked. "Well, the pilot from yesterday." He said. "Pilot? There was no pilot. You even said so yourself." Aurora said. "Yes, and I was right when I said that. However, I was also not entirely truthful with that statement. I said no physical pilot." He stated. "That means to me that you programmed the computer to fly it." Aurora said. "No. That means the computer flew the ship but I didn't program a course or anything like that." Eric explained. Aurora looked at him with confusion. "I don't know what your trying to say then, Commander." Aurora Rebia said. "I'll make it easier then." Eric said. "Tetco, Introduce yourself." He says before realizing he should have worded his statement differently. A second later I begin to speak. "Greetings Commander. My name is Tetco. Your cockpit voice assistant apparently..." He tunes out slightly as I continue. Tuning back in when I reach the end. "In other words, I'm coming with you." I finish. Aurora Rebia looks slightly less confused. "So you are telling me that you had your COVAS fly the ship." She said to Eric. "She's not just my COVAS." Eric elaborated. "Tetco, show yourself." Eric said.
"Yes Commander." I say. I access the Holo Me system and project a holographic form of me into the cockpit. As it completes I allow myself to form up inside it. A few seconds later I am back in my physical form and I step out of the holographic projection and turn off the Holo Me system. I appear as a young woman with black hair, purple eyes, and fair skin wearing a primarily white with some black and gold on the shoulders, arms, and legs Remlock flight suit.
"Hello, I'm Tetco." I say curtsying and watching Aurora's face go from confusion, to surprise, to shock. I then turn to Eric and ask "Do I have to play hostess?" Eric ignores the comment and Aurora is still too shocked to even worry about it. "W-what, how?" She stammered. Eric spoke up. "Tetco is unique." He said. "Unique? She was inside your ships computer systems. Yet she is able to give herself a physical body as well." Aurora said a hint of anger in her voice as she turned towards Eric. "Who and what is she!" Aurora demanded. "She is someone who you don't want as an enemy." Eric said. "As for the what. Well, she is a Fully Sentient Guardian AI. One with a body made from Thargiod biotechnology. It's why she can upload it into the ship's systems." Eric continued. "So is this what you meant by top notch security?" Aurora said evenly. "Yes. And now that you know. You know why I said that no one else has the ability to provide you with the same level of security as me." Eric said. Aurora glanced over at me. "And you let her have free reign." Aurora said to Eric. "I have controls in place. Orders that I can issue. And some that I have already used to ensure that no one else can just get a copy of the list and start abusing the power that it would give them over her." Eric explained. "These orders, what can they do?" Aurora asked. "Modifications to her behavior, among other things." Eric said.
"I already used one to add some security measures such as she has to get confirmation from me if anyone issues an order from the list. Especially after I saw order 65 and 66. Which would turn her against me as the primary list holder. Or make her massacre a specified group regardless of how she feels about it." Eric stated. Aurora looked shocked at this news. "It's not all bad." I said. "He had me execute Order 99. Which means I can do as I choose. And due to the fact that he treats me like a person and is willing to not only protect me from people like those who are a part of Azimuth Biotech but has me on his crew and got me an Identity has given me more than enough reasons to stick around." I interjected.
