This pad came from the Bellarmine. Yet, he is addressed by the translation of his name that he gave to the Loroi. So SOMETHING funny is going on. Someone who heard that name and knows how to program on a human device. Historian, perhaps?
Or perhaps it was loaded with the data and then the program put the tablet into quiet mode. In that case whoever sent it already has control over the tablet, so nothing's lost by running the program.

Update Notification!
http://www.well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider154.html
So, first lesson when dealing with computer security: never open attachments from unknown, unsollicited, or unexpected sources!
But in this specific case?
I wonder if I would not start that smart chess program, that's been able to understand my language despite first contact, been able to analyze my hardware so that it can send me something, and that could bypass the "fly mode", and yet was not able to autostart itself....
Skynet activated!

Good stuff. Thanks for this.
Unfortunately I could not add escort ships. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
You can't. The saves themselves won't allow it. Well that's a pretty nonsensical statement. If the saves didn't allow it, then saving the game would reset your escort ships to some default set, so there must be a way to do it…
For my level of skill it would have to be converting the load/save code from UQM to C# and using that.
I can't even pretend to understand how the save compression works for Vanilla UQM.
But to explain further on why some variables aren't editable...
Most of the variables that are "visible" to the user are mainly used for the summary screen when you're loading the game.
Changing those variables only changes what's visible on that screen but not in the save state.
Hence why a few of the fields are not editable in the save editor.
The latest Git snapshot barely does any compression so MegaMod and macOS saves are slightly more (easily) editable.

You can't. The saves themselves won't allow it.
I will be working on that for versions of UQM that are based on the latest Git snapshots (MegaMod and macOS for the time being)
For now though I'll be releasing a redesigned version of this save editor in a bit.

I recently updated the save editor to a completely redesigned version inspired by Jucce's old save editor with a mix of my own SC3 save editor style:
