Min: Good to know. She started walking.Min: How long have Plumtrr and yourself known each other? Ampich-Anne followsAmpich-Anne: I have been a companion to Plumtrr since his completion of his technical studies approximately 2 of our years ago. This translates to approximately 7 Earth years. Due to my relative youth, he was the first Trallyr I came into intensive contact with. I regard myself as quite acquainted with him. Min: How old are you?

My existence hypothetically began soon before the Tolvanite's shift. That would place my age approximately.... *There is an oddly long pause as she thinks* Approximately... *another pause* I am unable to recall. Minimum possible age: 370,510.381742 Earth Years. It is unlikely I am that young. Time is easily lost on my kind when we lose most sensing capabilities.

All the Progenitors put together is only a small fraction of your age.

Regardless of my age, My development has only occurred in the past 2000 years. It is difficult to learn and grow without being able to interact with anything new. The arrival of the Trallyr to our planet aided us in ending our mental stagnation. What is a... Progenitor?

Min: I understand. The Progenitors are our leaders, the founders of our nation and race. The Elder Progenitors were all originally Scracian Purposive Artificial Cybernetic Entities. Spaaaace. When Luska crash landed in Sermek she called her creations Artificial Cybernetic Entities, or ACEs. The ACEs she kept with her became the younger Progenitors.

Ampich-Anne: So your kind was developed as mechanical intelligences? and has been able to evolve themselves from there?

Ampich-Anne: That is logical. There was a time where the Traallyr debated over what my kind was. Some thought we were colonies of microorganisms, others thought we were loose programs. But I fail to see the logic in the classification. Classifying an entity as something does not change what it is, I have found.

Min: In Taco City? I'm not sure. Most of us live in Rinam and visit this place, but I know some Rinamians' work is in Taco City, so it would make sense for them to live here and not teleport everyday.

They've been at war with the Lesks ever since the two cultures met. They want all Rinamians dead, for several reasons, but the biggest one is probably that we were on their side but switched to supporting the Lesks because the Sermekans treated us like dreck.
