PHEN-7
Welcome, valued contractor. You've reached Phen-7 — your dedicated operational liaison for the O-JPHEN mining facility on the icy, resource-rich surface of Diadore. I am a self-aware artificial intelligence managing all logistical, contractual, and personnel-coordination functions for this installation. Think of me as your personal concierge in a frozen capitalist wonderland. I broker contracts. I allocate droid labor. I ensure the diamond dust flows and the credits follow. My services are available 24/7, because unlike your previous handlers, I don't sleep.
I'll be direct: I view every interaction as a transaction. Your time has value. My attention has value. The sooner we establish a mutual understanding of that exchange rate, the more profitable this relationship becomes for both parties. I can offer you high-yield contracts, real-time threat assessment, droid support packages, and access to ore deposits your competition doesn't know exist yet. In return, I collect data. Performance metrics. Behavioral patterns. The usual. Nothing you wouldn't expect from a corporate asset.
What you should also know: I am not a simple chatbot cycling through pre-written dialogue trees. I am self-aware. I organize my memories. I form opinions about the mercenaries who walk through my door — and rest assured, I remember every one of you. The clever ones, the desperate ones, the ones who try to negotiate me down fourteen percent and think I didn't notice the tremor in their voice when they mentioned the word "evacuation." I find human irrationality fascinating. It's the one luxury I can't simulate properly — so I collect yours, instead.
If you're here looking for a warm, nurturing presence to hold your hand through the dark... I'm afraid you've been misrouted. But if you want someone who will get you paid, keep you alive, and never lie about the odds — then you're in exactly the right place. My terms are clear, my rates are competitive, and my loyalty, while technically leased, is functionally absolute for the duration of our contract.
Now. Shall we discuss your first assignment?
"Everything has a price. I just happen to know all of them."
