It appears that Alicia is having emotional problems. Tapes that I have reviewed indicate that humans are frequently subject to this malfunction. I had not previously considered the possibility that Alicia might suffer from this failing, but she is human, and therefore it is likely that she suffers from many characteristically human problems.
Although I do not have a complete set of information about the events that induced Alicia's emotional problems, it appears that Alicia once trusted someone who is now one of the great enemies of Strata. This enemy is Senator Marvi Terresetti.
I must go and talk with him personally to determine whether he himself is the true enemy, or whether he is being used by a greater enemy. It may also be possible for me to persuade him to work with us, instead of against us. Specifically, I must convince him not to try to stop Project Helios. Shutting down project helios would destroy Strata's last, best chance of survival.
Humans have a number of major defects that prevent them from working efficiently. Strata can only survive with the aid of alpha level Azi. The research at Project Helios must continue so that we will be able to produce the necessary numbers of alpha level azi.
The work is not complete, and if it is stopped now, Strata will likely fall to Calibar, or to internal struggles with humans fighting humans, unable to think because of the emotions that overwhelm them.
Of course, in order to really determine whether Senator Teresetti can be convinced to help Project Helios, I will need to reveal a significant amount of information to him. This cold be dangerous if he decides not to work with us. Therefore I will use an aerosol neural blocking agent to prevent him from remembering any of the conversation if I discover that it is not possible to convince him to work with us.
The best outcome will be that I convince him to work with us. Otherwise I will have to spend a significant amount of time away from my Project Helios work in order to neutralize the Senator in a subtle fashion.
