TOLCDR H’ajah CCCMDR S. al Firawn; CMDR J. Kermit FROM LCDR T. Fozka SUBJOribot Replication
Commander,
Please find attached a recent study and plans for the replication of the oribots. I would like to see if we could successfully recreate the bots in real life; certainly plans and simulations do say so, but I am no engineering expert.
If we can, I would like to bring in an oribot to dismantle it in order to learn more about it. I have cc'd both Commander al Firawn who can supply us with the oribots, and Commander Kermit, so that he is aware of the current plans.
I have also not had the pleasure of working, or even having met with you before. I trust that we would be able to rectify that in the coming few days.
Strength and Valour,
//SIGNED//

YOUR TIMING IS FORTUITOUS, THROK NON-GENDERED OFFSPRING OF BROK. AS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE AWARE, TRAGEDY RECENTLY BEFELL MY DEPARTMENT: THE ORIGAMI BOT KNOWN AS DIMINUTIVE CONQUEROR APPEARS TO HAVE DIED OF BOREDOM. I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROFOUND LOSS, FOR I HAD TAKEN IT UPON MYSELF TO KEEP DIMINUTIVE CONQUEROR ENTERTAINED WITH INTERESTING AND EDUCATIONAL HISTORICAL RECREATIONS. MY NEGLECT KILLED MY FRIEND, AND I MUST CARRY THE BURDEN OF THIS KNOWLEDGE FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY DAYS. ALTHOUGH MY ENTIRE DEPARTMENT IS IN MOURNING, WE CANNOT ALLOW OUR SORROW TO STOP US FROM DOING WHAT IS NECESSARY: ENSURING THE PRESERVATION OF DIMINUTIVE CONQUEROR'S LEGACY!
I HAVE CONVENED A TASK FORCE OF ENGINEERS TO PURSUE THIS RIGHTEOUS MISSION AT ALL COSTS, AND I HAVE SUPPLIED THEM WITH THE REPLICATION SCHEMATICS YOU HAVE PROVIDED. THEY TELL ME THAT THIS MATERIAL REDUCES THEIR PROJECTED TIME TO PROTOTYPE BY MORE THAN HALF. IN A MATTER OF DAYS WE WILL BE REPLICATING ORIGAMI BOT HARDWARE AT WILL.
THE SOFTWARE IS MORE DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE. WE WERE NEVER ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY INTERFACE WITH DIMINUTIVE CONQUEROR, AND THUS WE KNOW ALMOST NOTHING ABOUT THE CODE WHICH DRIVES THESE ORIGAMI BOTS. YOUR PLAN TO DISASSEMBLE THEM MAY PRODUCE BETTER RESULTS, BUT I IMPLORE YOU TO PRESERVE AT LEAST ONE BOT FOR USE IN AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH I HAVE DEVISED.
ONCE MY TEAM IS CAPABLE OF REPLICATING BLANK ORIGAMI BOT HARDWARE, WE SHOULD ATTEMPT TO INDUCE ONE OF YOUR CAPTIVE BOTS TO INTERFACE WITH IT. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE REAL UNIT WILL REPLICATE ITS CODE TO THE FABRICATED UNIT WHEN IT FINDS IT BLANK. I WILL ALSO BE ATTEMPTING TO INTERFACE A BLANK BOT WITH DIMINUTIVE CONQUEROR, WHOM I HAVE PLACED IN STASIS TO HALT THE STRUCTURAL DEGRADATION WHICH BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER ITS DEMISE.
I WILL INFORM YOU WHEN MY TEAM'S FABRICATION EFFORTS HAVE PRODUCED A PROTOTYPE SO THAT WE CAN PROCEED WITH NEXT STEPS. IN THE MEAN TIME, KEEP ME APPRISED OF YOUR STUDY RESULTS. QAPLA'!

THROK, NON-GENDERED OFFSPRING OF BROK, I BRING YOU NEWS OF MY TEAM'S SUCCESS. WE HAVE FABRICATED ORIGAMI BOT HARDWARE WHICH CLEARS ALL MATERIAL REACTIVITY TESTS. THE UNITS PRODUCED REMAIN IN A BLANK STATE, POSSESSING NO ONBOARD SOFTWARE. IF YOU HAVE ANY CAPTURED ORIGAMI BOTS IN YOUR CUSTODY, I WOULD LIKE TO ARRANGE AN INTRODUCTION.
