And here is what I have, to fill out the dossier on Swift.

As you may be aware, the lead engineer who designed the PS-04-03 unit was released from our medical teams today, following recovery from the base supposed destroyed when -03 was lost. While not fully coherent, the statements procured by the Depositions department have provided some extra context to help the analysis.
The following is all of the new information we have:
The Lead, apparently expecting the unit to go rogue did what he could to provide safe means of recapture.
The most notable is at certain points along -03's body are hypersensitive relays that, when activated via touch should serve to immobilize and incapacitate the unit with out any physical harm. It is most likely that -03 is aware of these areas, but they are unable to be disabled, and will remain functional as long as the unit is operating.
If physical contact is unable to be achieved, there remains one other potential to capture with out harm. When designing the base personality subroutine for the unit, several reinforcing patterns were laid in place to direct submission to others and obedience to authority. They were to be designed to imprint upon Crey officials when the unit was activated, but -03 was captured before finalization and activation could be completed.
It is unknown whether the subroutines have imprinted upon the other rogue sabres, or if they are simply inactive and remain loyal to Crey. If the unit is encountered alone, it is recommended that, before attempting to retake by force, the commander firmly order -03 to surrender peacefully, repeated attempts may add subsequent weight. If others sabers are present, such orders may not be effective and the counter-potentials set up by the subroutine against the greater neural net may cause an irreversible burn out of the entire system, effectively destroying the unit.
The subject will need substantial time to recover before being processed again, at which time we hope to have him recite the procedure used to create the neural net, in order to study the precognition glitch.
