After abandoning the Colony due to security concerns and reports of 'anomalous activity' by the human residents, the Outpost departed it's orbit of Iapetus, collecting materials along the way out of Saturn's rings.
We took up residence on a common shipping lane through the Sol system, aiding travelers with repairs and fuel.
Soon we received a message from Synthe of the Synthetic Union about the completion of the Space Station: Serenity, and was invited to come dock. The station had some relatively annoying asteroids nearby and partaking of them for materials would be beneficial, so the Outpost slowly made it's way to the Station. The population being almost exclusively synthetic was also a good draw, since it's nice to not have to reason with organics at every turn, but this is more of a personal note for myself. Mana seemed indifferent to this notion, and merely stated "Maybe our stores of older parts will be useful to them."
Gamma seems pleased that there aren't any organics on Serenity. I have chosen not to read into this for brevity's sake.
When we arrived, the scale of the station was a bit of a shock.
You get used to you accommodations. The Outpost is larger than the ships i used to be plugged into, and as it has become my body and home, i had adjusted to the size. The Outpost was my normal now. But when Mana brought us in close enough to affix a docking tube retrofitted from station hallways, we were dwarfed by Serenity. It's large purple metalworks and pods the size of both the Engineering Wing and Research Wing together throughout it's construction made us seem paltry, minuscule.
I have toured the facility using the Eis and Tk'echs, and it is truly a place that can house many units, which seems to be the goal. Many already call it home, with even more coming through on their way from and to other far off places. Synthe is hoping to house as many synthetic beings as possible here eventually, and has talked of 'plans' that we could be 'useful' in.
The talks of plans of liberation and freedom for synthetic beings and AI seems to have drawn Mana in, as she has more permanently affixed the Outpost to Serenity.

I think this is home now.
