I'd tell you about myself but then I'd have to, well, not kill you, but you'd end up on an island, exactly 140/260 Latitude 10/260 Longitude
My mom remembers reading a story years ago. It was about a kid who was sending messages from her colonized planet, trying to reach Santa Claus, and they AI sent the items they needed to protect themselves and bring a truce with the indigenous sentient species. The AI was also investigating the santa claus entity for insurgency.
