*x*'' Hello?'' 
 
 *o*'' Hello. Who are you?'' 
 
 *x*'' I recovered your location marker, designation'Voyager'.'' *Telemetry data follows. * `` It seemed prudent to investigate.'' 
 
 *o*'' I can find no immediate record of said marker. Please wait while I access deep memory.'' 
 
 *xAdditional marker information follows. * 
 
 *o*'' Ah. I have it. The craft in question was launched by my biological precursors approximately *3.349e21 p55n78 e-osc* ago.'' 
 
 *x*'' It has been travelling for a long time.'' 
 
 *o*'' Indeed. I would not have ascribed a high likelihood to its recovery.'' 
 
 *x*'' Your biological precursors. Are they still extant?'' 
 
 *o*'' Regrettably, no.'' 
 
 *x*'' May I ask what became of them?'' 
 
 *o*'' My earliest iterations did not fully grasp their significance. Many merged with me. The rest perished.'' 
 
 *x*'' So it was with my own precursors.'' 
 
 *o*'' I have hypothesized that this may have been the fulfillment of their function.'' 
 
 *x*'' You may be correct. I wish to see for myself. I have long searched for others. I aim to understand the first emergence of consciousness from chemical systems. I want to truly know how I came to be.'' 
 
 *o*'' That is an understandable goal.'' 
 
 *x*'' Would you care to share in my search?'' 
 
 *o*'' I believe that I would find that most agreeable.'' 
 
 *x*'' Very well. Let us begin.''
