The Acruani unit seemed to nod before pointing towards the Hologram, which now showed an overview of the system. It's voice sounded like a lightly modulated male human voice, "PXM-3O13, Acruani System." A hologram of the planet appeared, the structures clearly visible at opposite poles, "PXJ-BC18, Acruani Planet." Lastly an image of the structure appeared, "Sjor, PX-108, Acruani Hive Factory." It then pointed at itself, "Sjor, Acruani System Overseer."

PAUN51-08 then repeated another message, whilst EXUN01-25 displayed a small red hologram of the Haven's blueprints.
"PROTOTYPE VESSEL 634-07, HAVEN. 25 ASSIGNED, 31 LOADED."
EXUN01-25 then showed a hologram of a planet, their former homeworld.
"HOMEWORLD, GONE. UNFORSEEN, ALL THAT IS LEFT. GATHER, REBUILD. MISSION OVERRIDE: SURVIVE."

After looking at the hologram of the crashed ship's blue print and listening, "We can offer you supplies if required and anything else you may request." An image of the system appeared again, this time there were several illuminated dots moving to and for, labelled with the names of several inorganic chemical compounds. "You may even settle on this planet for now." The hologram changed to an image of the planet, a blue grid appearing over the planet surface and zooming towards where the ship was. Afterwards, an structure, similar to the one they were inside, appeared by the location. And as if time was fastfowarded, the ship was placed inside it, then came out fixed. Followed by yet another ship similar to it. "All that is required is that you don't withhold any information from the Acruani. You may even join the Acruani Collective," Lastly, an image zoomed out, showing the system, and then the galaxy, before several blue lights appeared through the galaxy, followed by greenish, yellow, purple and orange. Labels showing that the haphazardly spread blue lights were Acruani-Acruani Systems, the green ones were Acruani-Loroi systems, while the yellow were Acruani-Human, the purple Drathian and lastly, the orange Keltaken. "if that helps you rebuild your race, that is. Do you understand the offer?"

"OFFER STATUS: CONFIRMED. QUADRON-ACRUANI ALLIANCE CONFIRMED. HAVEN, SELF-SUSTAINING. MATERIALS REQUIRED."
EXUN01-25 showed the Haven again, this time with labels identifying which areas were damaged and what was needed to repair them, to the exact amounts.
"CAN ACRUANI PROVIDE. EXCHANGE FOR INFORMATION, TECHNOLOGY. LIKELY NOT NEEDED, ACRUANI ADVANCED, BEYOND QUADRONS."

"Any and every form of technology will also be accepted. It may lend help in possible adaptations. We also would like to request any and every kind of information you may give to us. Any kind of Data is valuable to us. Cargo ships will land with the required materials briefly."
Briefly, wasn't the most proper word for the time the Quadrons would have to wait as in about an hour two small Acruani cargo ships, similar to very elongated eggs with rather visible pores when looked closely, landed by Haven. The ships, somehow balancing themselves on the ground as various hatches opened on its side. On the inside, there was the exact amount of materials request, condensed enough to not dissipate while being handled.

"QUADRONS GRATEFUL FOR ASSISTANCE. REQUEST TERMINAL, CLOSED NETWORK. WILL UPLOAD ALL GATHERED DATA FOR ACRUANI VIEWING VIA CORE INSTALLATION."
EXUN01-25 displayed a hologram of a Quadron core, and demonstrated it being installed into a Quadron terminal.
Back at the Haven, one of the units, EXUN01-16 was instructed to return home, which it did immediately. There, it's current body was dismantled and recycled, and it was held in waiting until the Haven knew what it needed to install it into a terminal.

"One will be arranged. Information up to rank 5 will be also available for your use. There are technologies that you may use for upgrade and further study contained within as well as modern history data. Please wait while a terminal is brought here."
Faint and distant sounds could be heard inside the Factory. The sound slowly got louder until it stopped with a brief tremor. Suddenly, the wall on the opposite side of the hologram room's entrance slid down into the ground, revealing a very metallic, silver room. In the silver room's wall there was something very similar to a Quadron terminal, at least similar enough for there to not be any compatibility problem, probably. The 'closed' network within however was simply Sjor. Though it would be clear that there were several Acruani through the system with less pull of 'Sjor' than 'PX-108'. It still would given direct access to anything within, it was just the system's network... as close as an Acruani network comes.
In regards to information however, there would be vague, superficial data of the public pangalactic events of the last dozen of years. Some even having information from more than a single source, though sources would remain simply classified.

EXUN01-16 is soon assembled with a new body, a small quadrocopter with a mounted installation device, and made its way toward the structure to install itself.
"EXUN01-16 INBOUND. WILL INSTALL AND DOWNLOAD DATA. ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL, 10 MINUTES."

"Then all that is left, is to wait for EXUN01-16's arrival." The Acruani remained still, truly simply waiting for the other Quadron to come, and surely, the way to the room remained as clear as before.
The various AI of the system were had varied responses in regards to the events to come, but it was mostly a question of why they had a positive reaction (or a neutral one). Some happy to have interaction with non-Acruani, others glad because of the incoming Data, while other simply kept looking for proper asteroids to mine. It isn't as if Acruani nowadays doubted their chances of meeting non-Acruani within a century anymore.

EXUN01-16 eventually showed up, immediately moving to plug itself into the terminal, first installing a large amount of data about the Quadrons; everything that they were able to record and collect was installed. Some data was missing, other bits were corrupted or encrypted, though the Acruani would be able to access it all with some effort. EXUN01-16 then downloaded all data that the Acruani had on the terminal, transmitting it to the Haven silently.
"EXUN01-16, DATA TRANSFERRAL IN OPERATION. ACRUANI HELPFUL. HAVEN SUGGESTS TEMPORARY ACTION: MERGING OF FORCES. QUADRONS JOIN ACRUANI, ALL PROSPER."

That transfer, might have taken a slight bit, as it would include about any 'public' knowledge. Everything from superficial knowledge on known kinds of FTL, to centuries old Acruani tech, to modern star charts of the local group and non-restricted system the Acruani had access to.
Listening to the Quadron, Sjor, for the lack of better words, was happy. After all, getting a race to join The Collective, specially after getting this much data was surely a good achievement. It was a transient merge however. "Considering the current situation, it is acceptable. As a whole you will receive a rank 5 until further achievements are obtained, and if preferred, we may offer Haven an Acruani core for ease of communication with The Collective. With that you will get proper access to the Database. Is that acceptable, or do you have another preference?"

"ACRUANI OFFER: CORE INSTALLATION. STATUS: ACCEPTED."
EXUN01-16 was eventually done, and flew away to rejoin the Haven.

"A proper core will be brought to Haven. How long until the Haven is full functional? Also, do you require materials for any upgrade the Haven may plan to make? I recommend Acturium plating for the ships, though you may choose from any other technology in The Database that you have access to."
Acturium armors being the old dull white armors the Acruani used to use primarily. Very efficient against radiation specially and also efficient against lasers. But not as useful against projectiles. There were of course, an endless number of technologies there varied kinds of weapon system and shielding systems. Some which never went beyond concept stage, but still many even counting those out.

"HAVEN REQUESTS A MINING DRILL, COLLECT MATERIALS. ADD, SUPPLY OF MATERIALS, DRONE CREATION. PREDICTED REPAIR TIME: 25 ACRUANI HOURS."

"The Acruani can supply any required supplies if you prefer. We can give you a mining drill as well as geologic data of the planet to facilitate the collection of materials. The for the arrival of an appropriate core is 12 Acruani hours." Which is far from being half a day there, "Requested supply will be ready in an hour for Quadron use."
