[Private: Personal Report][Unhackable]
According to those I've encountered, this situation has seemed to reach a plateau, and is beginning to deescalate on most fronts. I find myself unmotivated to involve myself if this is the case. What is done is done, and without a good concept of the citizens here, of their abilities, it would be unwise for various reasons. Considering the nature of this situation, involvement from someone such as myself may simply add fuel to the fire, so to speak. Perhaps that analogy is inappropriate, considering.
There is a doctor here that claims he was on the core SEEDS ship. It appears that he is familiar, at least in concept, with autonomous units. Autonomous units were not common at all at that time. However, my worry comes from his experience being with those two. They are raw units that grew without proper maintenance. He will be important to keep in contact with. He doesn't appear hostile at this time; merely confused.
I will have to solidify alliance with the man named Livio. Admittedly, it was a bad start, but he doesn't appear particularly hostile as a default, either, and he seems to accept an attempt to have more civil associations with me. He also warned me about the individuals who backed the independent Knives back on No-Man's Land. I find myself confused on their standpoints, however.
Legato Bluesummers ][ He appears loyal to the death to Knives. His words say as much, but I have yet to see his actions. He claims a truce was called between Knives and Vash, but in the end, was it truly Vash that the whole endeavor as about? No. I am unsure how a truce there would do much of anything, but time will tell.
This human Elendira the Crimson Nail ][ I have yet to obtain their name. They She seems particularly keen on assuring that I am aware of the dangers presented immediately to me here. This concerns me as false, since the independent Vash has yet to mention as much, and they she is allied with Legato, and serves Knives. As soon as I gather more information from them, I will inquire about this with Vash. Information obtained.
Which brings this personal report to the primary subject: Vash the Stampede. Although I had no contact with him, I knew it was him. He and his brother have distinct pitches to themselves that goes well beyond their gender. They are, as stated above, raw units. They have been raised amidst humans with little to no maintenance proper for independent plants. While I detect absolutely no hostility from Vash, and more along the lines of a desperation to get me to view his radical points of view as to our roles in the lives of the humans, I cannot help but brace myself for the so-called punchline. When he'll leap out and declare his prior behaviors but a facade, and that he intends to annihilate humans just as his brother sought to do.
I will attempt to respect him, as he is the only one here that will fully understand what I am, with the doctor close behind, but I will remain suspicious until further observation proves otherwise. Of course, the words from back during the battle resonate, to trust him... Perhaps this is a factor in my decision as well.

What is this that I'm hearing about a 'group of vampiric Nazi stormtroopers' in regards to interest in experimentation with plants?
This world would remind me of Earth, if not for the obvious elements of death and violence around every corner.
