To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"I've seen AI used in combat," replied Loren. "Well, as much AI as was legal. We used some fighters with limited intelligence to attack some Priman ships once. It was fairly successful. Now, I'm as worried as the next guy about machines trying to take over the galaxy, but the pragmatic part of me has to wonder if they might be the answer to how we avoid destruction. I was hoping somebody like you could reassure me that the same problems wouldn't occur if we tried widespread AI use again. F...ifteen hundred years is a long time to work on that angle, don't you think?" Mako shrugged. "My group is passionate about the prospect of AIs living among us. I think building them and sending them off to war is a perversion of what they are, which are living, self-aware intelligences. What you're imagining amounts to slavery." "So give me another option," Loren countered. "That's why I'm here. Could they pilot drones, design ships, wage electronic warfare? Maybe something else entirely? I have very little hard and fast direction about that I'm supposed to find here; rather, I am hoping you and I might find some common ground where we both see the acceptable and moral employment of AIs in an effort to not lose the entire galaxy to the Primans." "And you really think they'll come for us here, in the galactic core?" replied Mako doubtfully. "With regrets, I can see why they'd go after your holdings and those of the Enkarrans, Talarans, that sort. But while taking a spiral arm is one level of monumental task, subjugating the whole galaxy is quite another." "They did it once," Loren said seriously. "If we don't stop them, they'll do it again." "And if we can't or won't help your cause?" Mako's question hung in the air, the implications obvious. "Are you and I still to be friends?" "We're not friends or enemies, Mako," Loren reassured the man. "I told you I'm not here to come after you or your group. Confed has bigger worries right now than what you're doing. If we part ways, whatever the condition, I just leave and that's it. No troops, no surface bombardment, nothing. It's a measure of how seriously the admiral takes this meeting that his instructions were worded that way." Mako just nodded as he stared ahead, lost in thought. Loren was beginning to wonder if the man actually did know anything useful, or if he'd be willing to share what he had. Loren could care less about using AIs in warfare, of course, but his orders were to find out if the AIs still existed. Putting out a call to send them into battle seemed like a sure way to send up some warning flags which might point him in the right direction, if nothing else. If they were out there, he needed to find them, and if he could find them, he needed to know if they could tell him whether there was a weapon that could win the war for Confed.
