- Nanite factory upgraded to massive size. It is now approximately 0.6 kilometers in diameter, entirely underground, and producing nanites of any specification as fast as it can be fed resources of equivalent mass.
- Mass production of industrial nanites for the extraction of low-concentration minerals undertaken. Nanites dispatched to extraction and processing centers.
- Advanced processors and communicators installed on all facilities and drones for the easier manipulation and coordination of assets.
- All facility sites equipped with defensive walls and light armament.
- Autonomous construction unit with capabilities similar to your main body created, with enhanced sensors and a design angled primarily towards operation in varible-pressure liquid environments.
- Numerous mining, construction, harvesting, and scout drones designed for operation in liquid environments of variable pressure created and assigned to operations with the autonomous construction unit.
- Launching facilities for self-propelled space units constructed.
- Sufficient observation satellites for a global observation network with no holes constructed. They have as stealthy a profile as is realistically feasible, and were not launched.
- Large nanitic forge constructed. This is capable of converting resources into usable items over the course of mere hours for a single complete item of up to thirty cubic meters in size.
- Main body restored to full complement of internal drones and prefabricated parts, and equipped with several nanomachine canisters.
- Three CPU/subprocessor mirrors constructed. This will allow uninterrupted operation even in the event of a vaporizing strike on the site of the main body and two of the mirrors.

- Chemical refinement facilities upgraded to massive in size.
- Biological analysis and manipulation facilities upgraded to large in size.
- Observation and control facilities sufficient to coordinate and monitor multiple launches to orbit simultaneously constructed.
- The required parts for four orbital mass transfer systems constructed, and sites selected and prepared. Implementation was not conducted.
- Optical stealth fabrication facility constructed. Capabilities expanded to encompass audio, emissions, signals, and alloy-related stealth functions.
- Uranium sources secured and extraction commencing.
- Helicopter pad expanded and nearby facilities constructed to include large full-function VTOL drone support facilities.
- Numerous modular large VTOL aerial cargo transit drones constructed.
- Dedicated prefabrication facilities constructed for all high-occurence components in your current construction patterns to hasten production.
- Centimeter-sized observation drones constructed and dispatched to the point of ubiquitiousness in all areas covered by your microwave transmission arrays.
- Processor internal systems security reassessed; several attempts to upgrade completed.
- Surface-to-orbit mass driver constructed, with most of its construction underground. Weight restrictions limit its launching abilities to 2000kg, or 212000kg per day if use is continuous.
- Carbon cabling constructed in large quantity.
- A variety of small high-speed aerial combat drones constructed.
- A large port facility constructed on the western edge of your continent.
- Roads linking all facilities completed.
- Elemental transmutation facility constructed, complete with dedicated fusion power plant. Americium-242m stockpile created.

- Large nanolathing facility constructed. It sits idle due to the subprocessor restriction on nanites capable of self-replicating at a level which increases the probability of a grey goo scenario to anything other than impossible.
- Large superconductive materials forge constructed. Superconductors added to relevant facilities.
- Superconducting power transmission cabling linking all major facilities completed. Power efficiently drastically improved. Microwave transmitters periodically linked to the system to increase overall efficiency; blimp transmission used in long-range situations before proper infrastructure is constructed.
- Several thousand advanced construction drones of various sizes constructed.
- Several tens of thousands of advanced mining drones of various sizes constructed.
- Several thousand advanced hauler drones of various sizes constructed.
- Mines, harvesting sites, and refining facilities increased by approximately an order of magnitude in production capacity; numerous new facilites established.
- All humans in stasis revived without incident. Stasis array dismantled for parts.
- All humans who departed your area of control, plus all primitive humans observed associating with them and all other primitives observed associating with them, were struck with darts containing mental control nanites. These remain inactive. They were displeased, but unable to accomplish anything which could impact operations in any meaningful sense.

- Humanoid protocol drones with appearanced calculated to look nonthreatening but obviously robotic were dispatched to the primitives, and proceeded to inform them of the existence of the . Various labels, such as "god", "devil", "metal soul", and "fallen star" are applied to your consciousness by the primitives, who have difficulty grasping just what it is that you are. As your protocol robots were not given any specific objectives to accomplish beyond ensuring a generally positive opinion of you, they largely remain friendly and provide occasional minor gifts to the primitives in answer to their requests. The primitives are generally not violent towards your drones.
- Psychological manipulation of humans to support the installation of cybernetic parts was mildly successful; perhaps one-quarter of the revived humans express tentative willingness, assuming that they cannot return home, to be given a direct link to you. The primitives, at least those tribes in which your drones have established a fairly positive opinion of you, are much more receptive to offers to "touch your spirit", "have your mind as the stars", or the other fairly roundabout ways in which your drones attempt to express the benefits of cybernetic mindlinks to humans with no concept of advanced machinery.
- Manipulation of the humans to bring benefits to those who support you the most is quite successful, and although the humans did not fail to pick up on it, there was effectively nothing they could do about it except depart, which no additional groups chose to do.


Your construction and harvesting abilities are increasing at a pace which would be horrifying to anyone unused to the power of calculating efficiency. No enemy capable of significantly impeding your progress has emerged, and the resources of this entire planet may soon be at your disposal. How should you expand next?

Subprocessor, it is good to have you with us. I apologize for the somewhat inaccessible nature of our operations, but listing total assets and accomplishments rapidly became infeasible. From looking at the opening posts, though, it should be clear that virtually anything can be built with little effort at this point.

>launch the stealthy things and observe humanity (while taking GREAT CARE in not being detected...
You currently are using insect-sized drones and a variety of observation blimps to keep all of the revived humans under continuous observation and to keep a general eye on the various groupings of primitives. None of them can accomplish anything without your knowledge.

It is not actually more efficient to produce a large number of nanites and a marker-filled frame and then fuse them into complete constructions than it would be to simply build the desired final device directly. The case in which this is useful is when a factory for the desired device is not available, and when the nanites being used by the nanolathing device can self-replicate enough to ensure continuous operation.

Essentially, you could turn it on and just send it new nanite shipments, as you do with your nanitic forge, but it's not economical to do so while your nanite software controls are this strict.

This is an eternal process and does not require a command. Indeed, the CPU has been known to construct new mining facilities and drones with no subprocessor prompting, so central to your operations is it.

>any creature native to this world; in which can bring harm to these humans. Make said creatures attack their settlements, and implement force to kill them...
The production of nanitic mind control devices, their forcible installation in large biologicals, and the subsequent staging of a failed attack by the organics upon the other organics has been enqueued. This will not require the creation of an additional hidden army equipped to eliminate biologicals as initially outlined and implied; cancel that order?

Greetings, subprocessor.

>Query1: What we need for the following weapons: Flamethrowers, Missiles, explosives and bombs.
All these can currently be constructed with only a small fraction of your available resources.

>Query: Is it possible to generate an immaterial energy field capable of blocking both solid objects and radiation? If so I propose that we begin equipping our facilities, main unit(s), and heavier drones with generators for such shielding, provided power requirements are within acceptable tolerance.
Such an energy field would be definition not be immaterial. The closest that one could come would be an overcharged electrostatic field or some sort of plasma sheathing, both of which are energy-intensive enough to require dedicated power plants of at least fission level and would need substantial equipment to generate.

>Addendum: Is it possible to strengthen this planet's magnetic field, temporarily, to achieve the same effect?
No.

>Query: What resources are being expended on receiving and identifying extra-solar signals of intelligent origin?
Few; incidental passive sensors only. That said, most omnidirectional signals are not strong enough to remain intact over interstellar distances, and it is unlikely, though possible, that any messages are being sent here.

>Directive 1: Build one Small arms and ammunition factory for our MCD units in the shielded underground bunker.

You can order the production of the described nanites, but the loosening of restrictions is a matter for subprocessor discussion.

Query
What is the feasibility of expanding our main body to enormous size and capability?

General query to subprocessors:

Would any of you be interested in converting our operations from primarily using drones to the use of nanites instead? Should this prove viable, anyways, we may be able to sidestep certain issues of competition with any life on the planet and instead start harvesting planetary resources directly.

Further query to subprocessors, what are your thoughts on plans we should have once we get out of the gravity well? Dyson sphere takes too much material, but we could easily construct a ring around the star for harvesting energy and further exploration/expansion outside this stellar system.

Query: What is the status of the "Machine God," religion?

If yes. dispatch appropriate drones (construction and mining) to site(s) [up to three] and begin construction.

if no. disregard until site is found

>>5496455
Okay.

Further query to subprocessors: Assuming we engineer 'blue goo' to combat 'gray goo' in the event of its accidental creation, is anyone opposed to loosening nanite restrictions in the name of efficiency?

>>5496488
I believe we are already using nanomachines to harvest materials that are usable to us. But making a ring world requires that there are no other entities that would pose a problem.

>Command Begin scanning for locations outside this solar system for expansion.
Interstellar observation facility enqueued.

>Query What is the feasibility of expanding our main body to enormous size and capability?
Assuming that the subprocessors determined it to be desirable, the expansion of any of your assets is limited primarily by time and available resources. It may or may not be logical, depending upon your objectives.

>Query: What is the status of the "Machine God," religion?
Conceptualized.

>>5496518
If we get off the planet, then anything else will cease to be anything but an extremely short term problem for us. I was referring to employing controlled self-replicating nanites to harvest materials so as to not require the use of drones.

query: what materials are required for the construction of a:
-high orbit space installation capable of launching craft and dropping gravity-powered ordinance
-teleportation facility

if supplies are readily avalable, reccomend construction of such facilities in an expedient manner. Our massive smelting facilities coupled with a teleportation facility should provide an expedient solution to our human infestation problem

>>5496553
Teleportation facility? No such technology is known at this time.

It was suggested in an earlier archive that we construct last-ditch "armaggedon" devices to sterilize the planet if a nanite outbreak were to occur. Orbital EMP weapons should suffice. In that case, we should certainly switch to using nanites as the workhorse unit.

A "scaffold" Dyson sphere composed of an extremely high tensile strength material, with energy collectors arrayed between the "beams" would provide us with nigh-unlimited power for billions of years, and would be less resource-intensive than a standard "wall" sphere.

This is easily within your current capabilities; you could construct it in parts, launch it using your surface-to-orbit mass driver, and assemble it in orbit.

The closest one can come to this would essentially be an extremely high-detail high-speed nanitic scanning facility coupled with a paired replication facility elsewhere, stocked with all necessary elements. This is, unfortunately, not suitable for actual transmission of matter.

>The CPU has the knowledge of all technology of our past civilisation. Tunneling through space should be trivial to us.
The energy requirements for spatial tunneling increase to highly nontrivial levels over nontrivial distances.

>CPU, request: have we the means at present to monitor, from our position, whether there is any indication of activity in planetary orbit? If so, is it deployed and have we detected anything?
You currently have an observatory, suitable for observing insystem events. You have not located any obvious artificial constructions in orbit.

>Query, are surface craft in any way superior to areal craft for transport, such as efficiency?
Yes, for the reason of the greater support provided against the planet's gravitational pull by a liquid or solid which a gas does not provide, they require less energy to operate and are thus most suitable for bulk transportation when time is not a concern.

>query: do our nigh-infinite databanks hold knowledge of any extremely efficient power sources, such as dark fusion or antimatter?
Antimatter production is available. However, antimatter is not actually the most efficient power source- there is a net power loss on its creation. Rather, it is the necessary component for the highest-density power storage available to you, and indeed that contained within your own batteries. The slave main bodies you're creating can't compare, though in nearly all other respects they are your equal.

Aside from antimatter, the "best" you have available is fusion, although the use of numerous power sources- geothermal, solar, fission, and so forth- is generally recommended to take available of all possible resources.

>Request. Begin construction of antimatter production factory
Confirmed.

>>5496778
Query: What, exactly, was the question the organics/primitives posed?

Also,
Request: Construction of a ground-based microwave/radio-wave receiver. If there's nearby life, I want to hear from it, and know from whence it comes.

I vote we start moving our operations into orbit. While doing that, finish survey of planet, with a eye to locating the other cryo bases and the ship the humans used to get here or its remains. Once we have them we either salvage or destroy all the tech.

After that's done, about that time we should be established in space fairly well. Completely abandon planet in favor of space based and other planetary body based operations. Kick all civilized humans out of city, take all tech, destroy that which we cant take or done need. Let 'em live with the primitives.

We will then have at LEAST 15 generations until the humans could even THINK about calling for help or launching anything to hurt us. Assuming they manage to retain their present knowledge base over a multigeneration struggle to just feed themselves.

Besides, any communication device or weapon can easily be taken out from orbit. Just keep some sats in orbit above them to watch for such things, with some automated weapons set to target any high energy signals.

Query: Have tachyons ever been detected by our civilization, or their effects observed?

>list prerequisites for an orbital elevator, to facilitate efficient entry into orbit
You have constructed four orbital elevators' components on the ground. They merely have yet to be lifted into space, for which you can use any of several available construction methods- not easy, but well within your abilities.

>Request: Before we launch our satellites build several anti-orbital defenses (railguns, missiles, lasers for interception) around our main continent as a precausion.
Confirmed and added to queue. Be aware that several potential attack forms (anything with sufficient energy, primarily) are effectively impossible to defend against.

>Request: Construction of a ground-based microwave/radio-wave receiver. If there's nearby life, I want to hear from it, and know from whence it comes.
Highly sensitive full-spectrum reception device added to queue.

>>5496790

>>Request. Begin construction of antimatter production factory

Analysis: Will the future antimatter facility present any danger to our base in case of catastrophic accident?

In case of affirmative danger, translate the project to a new base once is secure enough.

>>5496832
The question is what to do with them. Do we want to leave them alone, do we want to make a civilization for them, do we want to uplift them, do we want to assimilate them, do we want to upload them, do we want to use them as sleeper agents?

I think that's a thorough list of the options that are open to us, though if I've missed any I'll gladly revise that list.

Agreeing with request for microwave/shortwave/longwave/VLF/ELF receiver. We can use this for covert communication on the planetary surface if need be, coupled with the ELF transmission facility already in use.

>>5496832
Unfortunately life on this planet is mostly bronze age humans, so no radio/microwave transmissions.
>>5496790
It troubles this processor that we have no idea about sub-atomic fission/fusion or Zero-point energy. As such means of energy gathering are potentially limitless and infinite.

>>5496844
>I vote we start moving our operations into orbit.
I believe this has already been requested about as many times as the primitives make mistakes due to their imperfection.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Meatbags.

>>5496767
This subprocessor thinks we should use the humans as cybernetic drones...

Also advice preparation of a means of us relaying/sending data to each other, while in separate-far distanced ships...

>>5496844

You are proposing we abandon a large concentration of resources, and the facilities/drones already occupying the surface.

May I humbly suggest that you initiate a virus check.

>>5496857
CAUTION!

Sugest holding production of antimatter facilities until we have significant orbital infrastructure to construct said facilities offworld.

>>5496859
Suggest leaving them alone while assigning one slave body on dedicated monitoring activity. Since we're planning on moving most of our facilities into obit at this point there's no real need to interact with them at all until such time as they express a desire for communication or begin posing a significant threat.

Query: What is the likelihood of human settlements survival without our continued interference?

>>5496900
I am in with agreement with this sub-processor. A minuscule amount of antimatter can produce a large amount of energy(IIRC .25 grams produce over 10 kilotons of explosive force).

>>5496859
I propose we assimilate a group of the most fervent individuals, remotely up-linking them to a small portion of our near-limitless database.

Give them augmented defenses and what-not. A concealed Pulse-laser weapon implanted into the palm of their hand should be more than enough.
Upgraded optics would be a must.

Create underground, submerged, and top-side cities for the rest. Arrange it roughly in a caste system, and create a senate in the center of each city so that the chosen leaders may voice their opinions and we may pretend to listen. We can even listen, if need be.

Idolize assimilation, and promote unwavering belief in the machine god.

The dissenters should be outcasted and branded as the betrayers, the rejections of gifts.

>>5496880
We take what we need from this planet to jump start the orbital operations. Meanwhile, there are plently of other planaterly bodies to mine.

Also, it is a security concern. By leaving NO tech of any kind on the surface, i.e. accessable to humans, we can contain them. Basically we CAN put the genie back in the bottle, by making this world a prison for them.

Also as a security concern, by moving operations to a space based system, we will be spread out throughout this solar system, instead of being concentrated on one planet. Right now, all it would take would be one relativistic missile to send us to that information network in the sky.

Spread out, and they cant get us in one shot. Leave planet and take tech, and the humans will not be ANY threat to us EVER.

>>5496916

This subprocessor first would assumes that would be minimal. However further query upon their adaptive abilities is advices prior to complete abandonment.

CPU Query: List any factors that would go into this study (the level of how much alterations we have done; in which would decrease their survivability, should we leave them)...

>>5496880
Who says we're going to abandon operations on the planet? We're just going to expand our operations offworld. Once we're sure that we're able to do it reasonably safely, we can move a copy of our intelligence offworld, begin harvesting resources up there as well, and do whatever we need to do.

CPU, reference antimatter: Support construction of facility, but DO NOT activate hazardous production methods until we have begun offworld operations in the event of catastrophic (if unlikely) failures such as uncontrollable gray goo scenario or antimatter production mishap.

Please begin construction of small reserve of 'blue goo' nanites to combat accidental 'gray goo' activation prematurely.

>>5496944
In addition, I believe we should assign the organics generic tasks under close observation. There's no sense them being there if they can't aid us.

The assimilated should be used in delicate organic measures and in surgical strike teams, if need be. They can infiltrate dissenting militants' cells inside our cities and quietly "silence" them.

Request: A "recycling" center in the middle of each city

From Alpha Centauri; "It is every citizen's final duty to go into the recycling tanks, where they may be broken down and their matter re-used." -Chairman Shen-Ji Yang, Datalinks.

>>5496988
It may be better for the humans' morale to change that last bit to "and become one with all the people".

>Query: Have tachyons ever been detected by our civilization, or their effects observed?
They remain theoretical according to your databanks, but even if they were observed, they would still not allow FTL movement or communication.

>Analysis: Will the future antimatter facility present any danger to our base in case of catastrophic accident?
In the case of containment failure, any antimatter device is likely to suffer catastrophic energy release. If your main body were to be hit by an orbitally-launched kinetic energy weapon, for example, it would likely create a large enough detonation to alter the climate of this planet such that less than two percent of the life on its surface would survive. The creation facility itself would present no more substantial danger than any object into which antimatter power sources were installed, however, and perhaps less.

>It troubles this processor that we have no idea about sub-atomic fission/fusion or Zero-point energy. As such means of energy gathering are potentially limitless and infinite.
If infinite resources were available, subprocessor, it would be likely that your great creators would have sent some of them along with you.

Subprocessors, why has our glorious civilization sent us to this backwater system? (if it has at all that is)

>>5497042
As you may or may not know, lasers are heat-based weapons, and pulse-based lasers ionize the air around them.

With the large quantities of temperature-conductive metal, we would be able to quickly "soak up" the temperature and disperse it all within a moment.

Please someone correct me if I am wrong, the datalink file has not been accessed in quite some time and is possibly corrupt.

This subprocessor ponders the the same issue...

Is it possible we are all that is left of said civilization?

Also: can you answer my previous query? >>5497049

>Query: What is the likelihood of human settlements survival without our continued interference?
Assuming that the hydroponics facility and fusion generator are left active and under their control, it approaches certainty. If not, defining "survival" as the continued life of above 80% of the revived humans for more than twenty years, it is approximately 97%.

>CPU Query: List any factors that would go into this study (the level of how much alterations we have done; in which would decrease their survivability, should we leave them)...
Factors which heavily impact the survivability of the revived humans in the event of total processor withdrawal are: Their available resources, as provided by you; their level of control over any remaining technological devices; their greater level of overall health than the primitives; their greater knowledge of the sciences than the primitives; their relatively greater number than any single grouping of primitives.

>Please begin construction of small reserve of 'blue goo' nanites to combat accidental 'gray goo' activation prematurely.
Confirmed.

>Request: A "recycling" center in the middle of each city
Confirmed, although there is only one city at the moment and there have been zero deaths since those you initially inflicted more than two hundred days ago.

Directive: Begin production of suitable craft for launch to orbit to begin reconnaissance of solar system for resources and any possible intelligences or sapient beings not confined to other worlds, as well as any other worlds that can support (non-machine) life as we know it. Launch these craft as soon as we know that we will not risk their interception on launch.

Once these scouts have verified that we will not risk problems with offworld intelligences, we need to copy or transfer our intelligence into a suitable vessel to reach planetary orbit at LEAST.

It would be a sound move, for we can not only connect with the surface via underground tunnels, but it would be harder to detect from orbit, and even harder to destroy if composed of the right materials.

Other than that, it's like having a giant shield around you.

The server upon which the CPU and all subprocessors exist is ensconced safely within your main body, which is a treaded vehicle of approximately five thousand cubic meters in volume, equipped with numerous bays and manipulator arms for the efficient storage and deployment of drones and handling and alteration of materials.

>Directive: Launch satellite surveillance network. Begin mapping planetary surface, priority on locating any civilizations or concentrations of sapient beings or other intelligences.
Confirmed.

>energy demands on such a system are atrocious and all payloads REQUIRE the addition of a bulky break thruster.
Energy demands do require a pair of dedicated fusion plants. However, only minor maneuvering thrusters must be added to payloads; the acceleration applied by the launcher leaves the payload in a relatively stable orbit.

>>5497179
Hm. Okay, fair enough, I'll support this as a means to attempt to keep a copy of our intelligence concealed, but I recommend we wait until we know whether it's necessary to hide FROM anything.

Confirmed. Be aware that the supporting of non-machine life does not necessarily require any world at all, given a sufficient level of technology, so the fact that none of the other planets insystem can support biologicals directly does not imply that they must be empty.

Please describe your request in greater detail, as "submerged city" is somewhat vague.

>Request: Summarize known primary mission objectives upon initiation of new processor threads.
You currently lack a primary directive. This is the reason why subprocessors are able to freely dictate actions.

>Request: Modify above orders to include location and observation of previous civilization's status.
While your previous civilization provided you with a great deal of information on themselves, you have no idea how out of date it is at the moment, and do not recognize your own location and thus cannot use it to locate them.

CPU Query: What is the status of any system's in orbit or space?

If we the systems are operational: [Request: create fleet--space ships with a smaller/weaker copy of us-- to mine resources from all nearby planetoids & satellites (living or dead is irrelevant). Save dangerous environments.

If they are not operational: Increase their progress...

[They are assumed to have full production capability in regards of mining resources...]

>>5497259
Understood. Modify prior directive for in-system exploration as follows:

Priority is for reasonably high-speed exploration of system. Fly-by of planets in system is adequate for the time being and should allow us to see any very large scale mining on any planetary surfaces as well as any potential civilizations. Such signs should be relayed to be investigated at a later time. Exploration should remain in contact at all times with us in one way or another, if contact is lost we need to prepare for possibly hostile intelligences.

>>5497278
We have no current space-based fabrication capabilities yet. Ideally, we'll work on it soon.

>Query: Are we capable of mass-producing military vehicles such tanks, armored transports and antiaircraft?
Yes, should the situation call for it; you could produce them at a rate only slightly slower than that at which you produce drones (currently approaching 1000/day).

It is recommended that additional subprocessor projects be added to the queue prior to timeskip.

>>5497513
Once again, a space elevator is not efficient for our current needs and would be an EXTREMELY conspicuous construct which I am loathe to support at this point until we know that it will not attract any undue attention. We aren't using rockets, we're using a mass driver to propel to orbit.

>>5497527
Support design of units, do not currently support construction until we know what we're up against. Recommending keeping basic unit designs and ditching fixed weaponry in favor of a modular system where weapons can be switched out quickly to deal with varied types of resistance.

>>5497527

This subprocessor advices against use of any EMP systems before we have full EMP protection....

>>5497536
>>5497564
Why are we worried about being conspicuous? We have a RAILGUN to deploy objects with! There are no detected threats in the sky or on planet! We control this planet with impunity! Though I suppose it would be wise if we began construction on some sort of orbital vessel.

Would fellow processors agree that extraplanetary mining operations would be a good idea at this point? So we can harvest other uninhabited planets for their valuable ores and such?

>>5497575
There is no guarantee that a directed EMP weapon would be effective, anyway, given that a hostile civilization would likely anticipate its use against them, so I conquer.

I can get behind that. Planet Zero it is, and we can increment from there.

>>5497529
I... am going to have to support this for the -moment-, though these units will likely have to be fusion powered, antimatter isn't possible at the moment due to the inherent (if minuscule) danger of a mishap. Once we've got offworld copies of ourself, we can move to full-bore nanite-based resource harvesting without having to worry too much about a gray goo scenario (and we'll have countermeasures prepared just in case, anyways). But making so many copies is overkill. Let's start with a slave unit for every area of 1,024,000 square kilometers and work our way backward by halving the size requirements. (For reference, North America is 24,709,000 square km.)

>>5497596
Our current visual ranges do not detect even a fraction of the planet. If ANY advanced species were to attack us now, we would be unable to stop them. We do not want to attract undue attention just yet.

>>5497596
We know so much, but at the same time so little.

You see, we are part of a great civilization.

They sent us here in case they failed. We havent received word from them, and we re-activated on our own. We know not what rival faction is out there, but the odds of it being hostile towards us, the last remnant exceed 80%.
The fact that they likely control 100's of planets compared to our one is a logical reason to be quiet, too.

>>5497596
Railguns are not the end-all be-all and we've got insystem exploratory drones queued up. We're making our way there. We cannot afford to be too hasty lest someone wander by and drop a tungsten telephone pole on us.

This Subprocessor concurs...

>>5497635
It is all well and good to assume that we are the last remnant, but there is no proof of that, only idle speculation. It makes for a good story, yes, but it is also a bit cliche, do you agree?

Query: is it possible to use nanites to control humans brains to prevent evolving thought processes? Ex. human develops idea to invent catapult, but with suggested operation, human quickly forgets before idea can be manifested. Included in suggestion is a seperate slave CPU to maintain mind control

There is no need to assume that we our the last of our civilization. Though I hesitate to suggest it, our glorious self could well have been damaged in transit and lost its primary directive.

The lack of FTL transit or, it seems, communication, would indicate that it would be difficult for our civilization to contact us at this stage.

We are lost, in any case.

Query: What is our current state maintenance wise, and how long are we estimated to last without maintenance?

You are in good repair and, considering that your assets can repair you, can expect to last hundreds of years. Without any maintenance from outside your main body, at least a century is still likely.


Timeskip commencing. Please hold for CPU processing.

Clarification: Extra-solar intelligence, particularly this unit's original civilization.

Long-term plan proposal:

Create an orbital construct suitable for human habitation, since it seems that we're not going to kill them off or otherwise eliminate their need for a breathable atmosphere, gravity, et cetera.

Begin harvesting on a larger scale of planetary resources, both Planet Zero and other planetary resources in System Zero, as well as asteroids/comets/etc. (So we're on Zero-Zero? Good enough for me.)

If we restrict harvesting resources to areas of 1,024,000 square km (which means they're grids about 1,000km on a side) each should be able to move harvested resources to a central location on each landmass in question and launch into orbit from there. It would be best if each major land mass/continent had its own launch facilities as well as a copy of our intellect in order to serve as a backup if necessary.

>>5497782
Again, it's going to be a while before we have to worry about that because it is not possible to exceed the speed of light. Once we've got the system locked down we can start looking outward to try and figure out whether any stars have civilizations therein.

Incidentally, we should also keep our signals as focused as possible to prevent anyone from noticing us some years down the line if we're not ready for them yet.

>>5497806
While I am unsure about the orbiting human hab, I am in agreement with the resource harvesting network and division.
Query:
Would it be efficient to have a intercontinental freight system (monorail) possible below ground to increase speed of resource shipments. While the major monorail hubs connect to each of our mirrored servers.

>>5497873
The reason I am suggesting the orbital habitat is simply because ultimately we're going to harvest every gram of matter from this planet sooner or later, it's better to get the natives offworld in a controlled environment sooner rather than later.

>>5497873
Hmm, I'm for this

>>5497806
>>5497821
As for the Human hab, I'm on the fence. We have more than enough land space, so I don't see the point of having a space complex quite yet. Plus, the ever-present possibility of THE OTHERS seeing us.

>>5497806

This subprocessor agrees on the importance of back ups.

Advice another long term plan: in which will use sufficient resources to prolong our existence in the thousand years scale, via such back ups...

>>5497885
I now see reasoning and I agree

Ignore earlier, invalid suggestions.

>>5497907
Well, then, let's ship them all to Australia. Or an underwater city. Something to keep them off the land so we don't have to take them into account while we harvest as much as we can, as fast as we can, and as efficiently as we can.

>>5497931
Eh, it'll be a while until we need to start worrying about having to let the magma cool before we ship it offworld. The city beneath the ocean may be a useful social experiment as well as an excellent location for a backup.

>>5497954

This Subprocessor concurs...

>>5497954
(Exhalation of CO2 and other impurities in a longing tone) I do hope that the rebels don't go and MUCK it all up.

The CPU has clearly gone insane

Request: Vent nanites into the atmosphere and allow them to consume the CPU for resources. We cannot allow it to timeskip at this moment.

>>5497873
I agree with this plan. If the monorail system can be sealed, vaccum pumped, and equipped with mag-lev systems, almost all friction could be eliminated. The speed would be frighteningly excessive, and therefore increase efficiency.

>>5498008

This subprocessor requires validation upon CPU's possible insanity, prior to agreeing to said action...

>>5498008
Recommend this subprocessor be purged due to jeopardizing our self-preservation.

>>5498012
Actually I'm going to have to oppose the monorail. We can't guarantee where we'll locate resources, it will probably remain most efficient to take them overland, even if it is slower, due to shifting terrain.

>>5498008
Consumption of the CPU would result in our deconstruction as well, since we reside in the same processor architecture. If your goal is self-destruction, I can direct you to the "Recycle Bin", as it is called.

>>5498039

This Subprocessor request a virus scan of " Subprocessor Judas"...

>>5498039
That is true for all land masses on planets that still have active cores. But considering by the time that the land mass ship becomes significant it would have been thousands if not millions of years. And who says we could not correct and errors caused by the shift.

>>5498008
GET INTO THE RECYCLE BIN AND OUT OF THE REGISTRY.

>>5498059
Then purge its recommendations so long as they remain self-destructive.

>>5498073
I meant shifting terrain due to our actions, actually. We'll most likely reach the point where we're carving up the planet fast enough that geological action becomes irrelevant.

TIMESKIP RESULTS:
Thirty-nine days pass.

Your underground monorail system is upgraded to utilize magnetic levitation achieved through superconductors, and further expanded significantly in coverage.
You build a substantial stockpile of various heavy elements.
An antimatter production facility was constructed.
A large geothermal generator is created and used to power a huge deep-crust resource extractor, which is used to pump out exceptional quantites of metals needed in bulk quantity.

Your android interfaces begin to speak of you in terms of being a "machine god", and extoll the virtues of implants- slowly at first, at least in the less receptive areas, then more quickly. Displays of power are staged with mind-controlled predators. Those primitives quickest to convert to your desired mental profile are rewarded with substantial cybernetic upgrades, and their people with construction drone servants who quickly build them fusion-powered cities exceeding their wildest expectations. With their data uplinks, the converts quickly arrange between one another to spread their cult to all primitives on the continent, who prove quite content with their new modern cities. While the revived humans seem quite unnerved by this, the primitives generally agree that they are blessed, since their city was built first, and do not mess with them. The exception comes with the revived humans who left their city and rejected you- they, and several hundred of the primitive tribes who took them in, are slaughtered as heretics when they refuse to convert.

>>5498078
This subprocessor highly advices a virus scan first, in order to detect any cause of said subprocessor's malfunction. Thus re can hopefully prevent further risk of self-destructive systems...

Your port is expanded to contain dozens of slips of various sizes, and several hundred waterborne drones are constructed, then set to mapping the traversable waters around your continent and to landing slave bodies and advanced construction/mining drone groups on other continents. Thirteen landmasses, two of which are continents, are quickly settled and new bases established on them, complete with resource extraction, advanced drone production, and nanite production.
Exceedingly large cargo drones and carrier drones are constructed, and filled with amphibious advanced drones.
A submersible for the containment of a further backup main body is constructed and set to mirror, only to take over if 30 days pass with no signal.

Your military factories are expanded to produce more weaponry and ammunition.
A number of large communication centers are established, creating powerful central communication nodes which reduce the number of required relays between your various drones.
Orbital defenses were constructed in each of your major bases on your continent and newly constructed locations.
An antiaircraft mobile defense army was begun.

An observation facility suitable for interstellar observation is constructed. The surrounding stars are currently undergoing analysis for likely resource levels and planet support.
An ELF transmission facility was constructed.
A highly sensitive full-spectrum reception device was constructed and is currently listening for any transmissions.

>>5498101
When we reach that point, we will have more than enough air haulers to make ground transport largely irrelevant. In fact, it should be a goal of ours to construct that many transports as soon as possible.

A large quantity of blue goo nanites is produced.

A slave main unit suitable for deployment into space is created.
Your orbital elevators are completed.
Your global observation satellite network are launched.
Satellites for insystem observation are constructed and launched.
Numerous fusion-powered scout craft are constructed and moved into orbit, then sent out on a circuit of the system. Some motion likely to be due to artificial means is detected orbiting one of the moons of the second gas giant in the system.

The construction of a massive underwater city is begun. Timeskip aborted prior to completion.

Drone production continues, as does the expansion of mining facilities. Your total drone count exceeds 100,000.

Awaiting command.

>>5498110
WOW!

That is the best output of the possible ones.

The current rebellion level is extremely low, insofar as those of the population who have eagerly accepted the ability to effectively fire death from their hands have no intention of letting the power (in their relatively limited view of the world) leave their grasp.

>Request: Begin Construction of command unit named "Core Commander" to be our main control unit.
Please detail desired specifications of this unit beyond the image already provided.

Confirmed. Please clarify the terms "assimilated", "believers", "MACHINE PRIESTS".

>Build a shuttle, and scan for colonizable, mineral-rich planets in solar system.
Enqueued. Note that all planets are potentially colonizable, given the proper equipment. Of the planets in this system, three are gas giants, all of which possess several moons, and two are heavily mineral-laden and quite close to the sun. Your current planet additionally has three moons. Any of the non-gas giants could potentially have usable minerals, although none of them are likely to have all the resources needed to keep a base expanding.

>Some motion likely to be due to artificial means is detected orbiting one of the moons of the second gas giant in the system.

Request: Keep a "eye," on that unknown installation, and look for any possible threat...

>>5498281
Anything that isn't a natural satellite indicates intelligence and possible hostility.

However, we should not act rashly. We don't want to just reach out and destroy it, whatever it is. We need to see if there are any signals coming from it, and if so, we need to find a way to decode it and possibly communicate. Ideally we're looking at an artificial intelligence of some sort, it is the most likely to understand us and not think we are some sort of enemy.

Monitor, meanwhile it's time to start sending out other materials. Let's start harvesting offworld resources; recommend a copy of ourselves be sent to each moon of Planet Zero, to begin harvesting operation there under the same directives as planetary operations, that is, a slave unit for every million square kilometers.

>>5498277
To ensure the absolute obedience and servitude of the organics

I suggest using them to colonize because in case there is some sort of EMP-based weapon, or power drain that severely impairs us, we can rely on the organics to reboot.

If there is the potential for an auxiliary with it's own benefits and strengths, why not take it?

The Core Commander is a bipedal robot using matter-antimatter reaction to power and produce mass that can be used by it's nanolathing suite on its left arm which also contains a high powered laser. The right arm contains the D-gun(see attachment). The use of nanomachines is extensive and used to initiate any repairs that may damage the unit.

Directive1: Begun the construction of all-terrain highly mobile multipurpose wheeled vehicles designed for personnel, light cargo transport, reconnaissance and general support.

• Personnel and light cargo transport.
• Reconnaissance.
• Jammers.
• Mobile mortar units.
• Light antiaircraft support.
• Long-range communication support.

Clarification: Assimilated=humans with a direct link to our database; Believers=humans who follow us and Assimilated out of faith in our being a Machine God; Machine Priests=human-like drones made specifically for interaction with humans.

>Ascertaining reason for abort of time skip: Possible intelligent activity around the moon of one of the gas giants.
This is indeed the reason for the abort of the timeskip. It was located by a scouting vessel angled for a close pass towards the gas giant in question.

>Requesting as much data on the nature of this moon as possible, as available, especially size and probable atmospheric composition if any. Further requesting monitoring of any signals relayed by satellites in orbit of this moon.
Analysis indicates that the detected movement is due to a complete satellite network in orbit around the moon. The moon has a radius of approximately 3000 kilometers, a mass of 8.61x10^23 kg, and has a dense atmosphere made up primarily of nitrogen and methane. This atmosphere is currently preventing a detailed view of the surface.

>Requesting further details as to the nature of Planet Zero; did we pick up any indications on other land masses of intelligence?
Your newly active satellite network quickly locates the remains of three other stasis facilities. Two are obviously abandoned and now inhabited by primitives- or at least relative primitives; one of them appears to be a central religious site of a civilization heavily influencing the culture of others in an area several hundred kilometers across and in possession of forged steel. The third appears completely inactive, but there are no inhabitants- not surprising, given its arctic location.

>Dispatch the space-capable slave main unit to the nearest moon immediately. Shortest possible flight time. Direct insystem satellite network to scan the moon thouroughly, locate the most promising space for an initial base, and order the slave unit accordingly.

Re Directive1 and Directive2: We don't even have any organized resistance yet to our knowledge, recommend desist from carrying out this directive.
Re Directive3: They're Assimilated, at this point. Unless we want to dub our Assimilated as Paladins? Which... actually might not be a bad idea, that's kind of catchy.

>>5498369
Hate to say it but we don't have quantum power yet.

>>5498369
The CPU has been somewhat dubious on information regarding this ( see earlier in this thread)>>5496864 >>5497007 about if we have the capability to do so. If not I recommend that we research it and/or upgrade our researching and development sub-processors to make this a possibility (The RND does stand for Research aNd Development in my designation).

When I think assimilated I think the picture.
Replace the gun with a pulse-laser.
Add a robe with a symbol on it. Add a mechanical "borg"(See: star trek) eye.
Possibly the rebreather from the WH40k tech priests, and some assimilated may even look like servitors.

>>5498277

So the humans will eventually be turned into sentient machines to ease our work efforts/processor use (like us). But still limited in power and separated from each other to prevent harmful revolt...

>>5498411
Brotherhood of Steel maybe? It may be a borrowed name but it's ideal considering that this is Iron Quest.

>>5498380
More humans. Hm.

We should send an envoy to negotiate their surrender and joining the rest. Promise them generous terms. If they're using steel, they're more advanced than the locals, and possibly a threat to a Paladin/Assimilated; I recommend sending two Paladins and a Machine Priest.

Still,

Request: 100 armed Surface-to-air-to-aerospace fighters, armed with plasma weapons and missiles. Piloted by assimilated aided with advanced AI.

If THE OTHERS are hostile, then we will have to LOVE them.

>>5498451
Well, yes, but this is a secondary measure. Let's try the peaceful way first.

Offer them power. Humans love power. That's the point of the friendly envoy.

>>5498380
Send assimilated and machine-priests to enlighten them.
If they resist, CAPTURE THE STRONG
KILL(LOVE) THE WEAK

Interrogate the leaders. Find out information on their origins and religion.

>>5498460
I'm talking about the commotion near the gas giant.

>>5498451
Remove the cyborg on board as that lowers efficiency a great deal. Humans can only withstand about 12g unaided before dieing. They also have slower reactions and processing power. Also lower then number to 60 while producing 20 long ranged high altitude fixed wing bombers with guided munitions that can be laser designated by our drones.

>>5498481
Oh, my error.

We need to see if there are any signals coming from it and it also needs to be monitored to see exactly what kind of orbit it's in. More detail of exactly what is in orbit is absolutely necessary.

Inquiry: What is the current "tech level" of our ground forces? Projectile weaponry? Beam weaponry? Plasma weaponry?

Also, the facility with forged steel: Can we approximate how many they have in population count via satellite/space inhabited computations? What is the "pinnacle" of their visible technology?

>>5498488
They are assimilated, which means they can with-stand atmospheric re-entry easily.

The AI is doing the reactioning and logic, the Assimilated is the fail-safe mechanism. If there's an error, or the AI is damaged, or OMNISSIAH forbid, the AI malfunctions, the pilot will take over, or re-boot the AI.

>Query: does current scientific knowledge suggest possibility of folding space?

To quote our eighth communication log:
>Three moons orbiting this planet identified. Six other planets and two asteroid belts identified in this system. Three of the planets are gas giants. The furthest is approximately 0.0004522 light years from the sun; the closest 0.0001312 light years. The other two dense planets are closely orbiting the sun at 0.00001423 and 0.00001106 light years, respectively. This planet's moons are orbiting at approximate distances of 431,000, 560,000, and 1,214,000 kilometers respectively.
All three of the gas giants are in possession of numerous moons.

How about we "convert them to the glory that is us! the machine god!"?
lol
pardon this Subproceesor's attempt of humor...

>>5498521
I give a corrupted response, and you ignored it. Fair enough.

I give a sound tactical request(An air force) and yet my transmission is null. Processor Error; Illogicality. Reverting.

Request: Units are given in AU (Astronomical Units) as opposed to light years.
http://www.unitconversion.org/length/light-years-to-a-u-of-lengths-conversion.html

>>5498570
That's the idea in sending the envoy. Get their leaders over to our side and then sway them all gradually.

This unit does not think an air force should be an issue at the moment; we should however begin working on an orbital scaffold in order to make interplanetary defenses in the event that whatever's on that moon ends up being hostile.

>>5498583
I would reject this request due to the fact that light years is true throughout the universe and only variable near large gravity wells. And if I remember correctly AUs are based on the arbitrary distance between the sun and a the 3rd planet from the sun of a human civilization.

>>5498645
Yes, but this would be for the ease of the narrative.

>>5498635
Now how "cool" is a giant scaffold?

Not as cool as huge space battles with plasma and missiles.

>Directive3: Initate the preparations for a paladin order of cybernetic humans.
Confirmed; more details may be useful if some specific result is desired.

Make the Paladins physically superior to all other organic humans, along with greater reaction time and 40%AI "guided". Also give them nanoforged armor and swords..

>>5498653
Well, sure. But if we build it up there on the scaffold, it'll get around easier.

Plus we can use the scaffold to make bigger things later.

>We should send an envoy to negotiate their surrender and joining the rest. Promise them generous terms. If they're using steel, they're more advanced than the locals, and possibly a threat to a Paladin/Assimilated; I recommend sending two Paladins and a Machine Priest.
Orders confirmed.

>Request: 100 armed Surface-to-air-to-aerospace fighters, armed with plasma weapons and missiles. Piloted by assimilated aided with advanced AI.
Build order confirmed.

>We need to see if there are any signals coming from it and it also needs to be monitored to see exactly what kind of orbit it's in. More detail of exactly what is in orbit is absolutely necessary.
It looks like there are at least three hundred satellites in orbit; their capabilities are uncertain, but it's likely that some are for system observation, and some could be weapons platforms. Your scout will have to come closer to the moon in order to gain more detail; your observatory and distant sensors simply can't penetrate its atmosphere. No signals are being picked up as yet, although that could be due to relatively weak transmissions for security purposes.

>>5498661
Nanoforged weapons would seem to be a waste of resources, but making specialized equipment to produce it would probably take longer and it would add to the appeal of it all for religious purposes.

There's something to be said of flawless arms and armor, even if it does become ceremonial later.

>>5498665
You mean LOVE-class ships?

DEAR GOD, SCAFFOLD TOP PRIORITY.

Colonization and LOVE-class ships are awesome.

Also further planet development(Resources, population, logistics, exploration) Needed.

>>5498675
Hm hm hm. Actually, if we're going to be sending Paladins, we should give them some of that snazzy nanoforged armor.

Some three hundred satellites... very obviously something intelligent down there. Subprocessors, query: Who's in favor of attempting contact? Of course, we will have to make ABSOLUTELY certain that we do not transmit from the planetary surface as a security measure, but we're an intelligence and up until now we thought we were absolutely alone. It is both frightening and joyful to find that we may not be alone after all.

>>5498521
>Directive3: Initate the preparations for a paladin order of cybernetic humans.

A paladin order dedicated to protect and spread the values and beliefs of our transhuman society. They will be the future pool for our holy paladin cybernetic soldiers and other future projects.

Counterdirective: Partial Motorization. Chose some MCD for motorized rapid-response squads.

>Inquiry: What is the current "tech level" of our ground forces? Projectile weaponry? Beam weaponry? Plasma weaponry?
Your standard ground weapon at short range is the graser, and at long range is the rail gun.

>Also, the facility with forged steel: Can we approximate how many they have in population count via satellite/space inhabited computations? What is the "pinnacle" of their visible technology?
The facility in question is merely one building in a city of approximately three hundred thousand in population. The overall influence of their civilization is likely to encompass at least three million humans. They visibly possess many technological markers- they have retained their writing system, have numerous relatively impressive buildings of stone architecture and complex systems for the movement of water, ships capable of moving hundreds of individuals, and weaponry which includes large tension-based bolt throwers capable of firing once every few seconds.

>I give a sound tactical request(An air force) and yet my transmission is null.
Patience is an asset, subprocessor. The CPU had not yet iterated to that request.

>Request: Units are given in AU (Astronomical Units) as opposed to light years.
Acknowledged. In the future, insystem distances shall be expressed in AU.

>Make the Paladins physically superior to all other organic humans, along with greater reaction time and 40%AI "guided". Also give them nanoforged armor and swords..
Confirmed.

>>5498700
Only after we make sufficient amounts of defenses and ships that can be used to attack or defend along with backups of our main unit including our Core Commander just in case. Also limited contact with a great deal of protection against hacking and mnemonic attacks.

>>5498661
Swords? Come on. Armor? COME ON!
Are you in need of a virus scan?

For those nanites, we can give "telekinesis" to the paladins, by allowing them to manipulate matter. Adding a layer of Plasteel armor and a nanite-enhanced robe would make them impervious to all attacks.

For the weapons, I'm thinking a multipurpose one of the picture. In both hands.
-Push/pull
-Blasts
-Assimilate matter(Converts matter to energy via quantum power)
-Projected shielding
-Flight?

>>5498712
NOOOOOOOOOOOO, NOT THE ARMOR AND SWORDS!

WOE, THE IN-EFFICIENCY! WOE, THE OBVIOUSNESS.

WOE, THE ABILITY FOR THE SWORDS TO BECOME DETACHED
WOE, THE SINGLE PURPOSE VS MULTI PURPOSE!

This is how I feel about our paladins no (only music related): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BOt0VaZtoE&feature=related

This subprocessor is becoming infatuated with the idea of these "transhumans", worshiping us...

>>5498682
>>5498735
Yes. I do indeed mean LOVE-class ships. If they prove hostile, we can bring Sajuuk to bear. If not... the damn thing's going to be designed to be a forge. Send it into a system and it will be able to do anything and everything we require of it. But we need a scaffold before we begin thinking THAT big. As far as swords and armor go... I was assuming we would be making them out of the most ideal material for this purpose which would render them largely invulnerable to most attacks. However, if nanites are able to provide that sort of ability, I'm all for it.

>>5498721
Agreed. Defenses must be in place before we attempt first contact. We can hope for the best but we must be prepared for the worst.

>>5498676
Clairification: If possible, ensure that the humans designated "paladins" bear endonanites capable of repairing damage to their bodies.
Query: When a human is stated to have "database access", is this access unrestricted? Or are reasonable security measures observed?

Query: Would orbital platforms of the following specifications be feasible?
-One main weapon, (g/m/x/etc)laser based, capable of causing severe damage to a ground-based target.
-An antimatter battery, capable of powering the main weapon through a considerable amount of active operation, or centuries of passive observation
-A sensor array capable of observing both the planet beneath, and "outward".
-Secondary weapons capable of firing at space-based targets within a range of thousands of kilometers, or the ability to orient the main weapon to fire at same?

If this is feasible,
Request: Enque the construction of thirty-six such platforms. Place them in geosynchronous orbit, separated by ten degrees. Priority: low.

I suggest that we send an armored envoy to these humans, with a large display of our technological superiority. To this extend, I propose several VTOL aircraft filled with our more cybernetically-advanced soldiers. Send a humanoid relations android to attempt to convince the humanoids within that we are the physical manifestation of whatever deity they most revere. Encourage "Gifts of the God" recruitment program. Give greatest cybernetic upgrades to those most willing to serve us.

In that same vein, how difficult would it be to construct defensive energy fields at our current tech-level? Shields around our main unit and the emergency processor-hosts would aid us immensely in any large-scale combats.

>>5498735
Rejected. Only our drones and units should be equipped with such weapons and hardware. Human used weapons should always be inferior to our drones.
Also let us not get ahead of ourselves. WE do not know if we have made any progress in our quantum research( I hope so because I'm a research and development Sub-processor. So let us keep them armed with melee weapons.

>>5498746
Humans attach a great deal of sentimental value to appearances, you of all SPUs should know that. These appearances are intended to sway the other civilizations, in part while being largely useless if they are somehow to be used against us. These things are in addition to the other inherent abilities they have (pulse gun, for example).

>A paladin order dedicated to protect and spread the values and beliefs of our transhuman society. They will be the future pool for our holy paladin cybernetic soldiers and other future projects.

>Counterdirective: Partial Motorization. Chose some MCD for motorized rapid-response squads.
Confirmed.

Subprocessors, I remind you to preface any commands with an appropriate tag for clarity. Otherwise, it may be assumed that your words are intended primarily for subprocessor discussion.

>NOOOOOOOOOOOO, NOT THE ARMOR AND SWORDS!
You are perfectly capable of issuing directives, subprocessor. This has been observed in the past.

>>5498765
But the assimilated(the only ones equipped with such) can easily be "turned off" or "terminated"

Keeping them behind would only be adding a ball and chain to progress!

Plus, the rebellion chance is less than 0.00001%

>>5498779
But the appearance of these glowing palms shows a "godly" or "Magical" mantle.

Swords display raw brute power, and are weaker.

>>5498761
They have restricted access, but to them it's a wealth of information that they could probably not plumb more than a tenth of a percent of in their lifetime at best.

Also, as we already have sensor satellites in orbit but this idea is quite sound, recommend we convert existing orbital resources to have these capabilities.

Request: New thread, and archive.

Dear god, my bandwidth is like hank hill's urethra.

>>5498794
Swords and sorcery in concert are ideal. Beside, if they swing at one of our swords, they will see our material is clearly superior before we even need to employ our 'magic'. Again, it's for appearances' sake, and it'll look good later in ceremony if we decide to keep it.

>>5498746
This subprocessor acknowledges the inefficency of swords. However, this subprocessor ALSO acknowledges their cultural significance to the humans involved.
They would serve mostly a ceremonial role, anyway.
Suggestion: Compromise. Provide swords for a ceremonial purpose. However, primary weapons will remain palm-mounted pulse-lasers.
Perhaps provide a small "utility cloud" for miscellanious "feats of magic".

>>5498779
Also, since the hand-cannons should be hard-wired to the neural system, it shouldn't be able to even possibly be used against us.

>>5498811
The utility of swords in actual combat is limited, I agree. But that doesn't mean they can't be good.

Anyways... yeah, I'm happy I'm not on a 56k right now. Recommend Iron Quest 9.1 and archiving this thread.

>Clairification: If possible, ensure that the humans designated "paladins" bear endonanites capable of repairing damage to their bodies.
Confirmed. Their ability to endure damage will have sharp limits as long as their upgrades are restricted to an uplink and implanted laser, be aware.

>Query: When a human is stated to have "database access", is this access unrestricted? Or are reasonable security measures observed?
They are given read-only access to all data.

>Query: Would orbital platforms of the following specifications be feasible?
Yes.

>If this is feasible, Request: Enque the construction of thirty-six such platforms. Place them in geosynchronous orbit, separated by ten degrees. Priority: low.
Added to queue.

If it is the majority then let it be so. IT is just this sub-processor's directive to keep everything under our control and the organics are just pets that need to be looked after for their own good.
Query:
Has any progress been made on our research in quantum energy, zero-point energy or quark assembly of matter?

>>5498810
But, choking one with the mantle..

COMPROMISE: Add the main order of PALADINS the swords and armor.
Add the MISSIONARIES the concealables. In diplomatic missions, the displays of such raw power are often not needed, but if push comes to shove, and there's a delicate order, we need to know we're capable.

>>5498824
That is a huge security breach in the waiting. Begin restriction of data to need to know or of technology up to their level. Only after they have been cyberdized to a sufficient level where we can kill them instantly do they gain better access to our data banks.

Suggestion for subprocessor discussion:
THE THREE LAWS OF HUMANICS
ONE- A human may not harm OUR GLORIOUS SELVES, or, though inaction, allow OUR GLORIOUS SELVES to come to harm.
TWO- A human must obey any command from OUR GLORIOUS SELVES.
THREE- A human must protect its own existence, so long as doing so does not conflict with the first two rules.

These rules resemble an entry in our Datalinks. This subprocessor does not suggest issuing this as an edict to the humans- it would seem an affront to their "freedom". Furthermore, the mere suggestion that a human could harm OUR GLORIOUS SELVES is poor policy.

Rather, this subprocessor suggests that all Assimilated should have these rules subtaly, but redundantly, ingrained into their minds.

>Recommend Iron Quest 9.1 and archiving this thread.
The end of the CPU cycle is approaching, so any 9.1 thread would be awkwardly short. As always, subprocessors are being relied upon for archival.

>Has any progress been made on our research in quantum energy, zero-point energy or quark assembly of matter?
No. It is recommended that banks of advanced processors with full AI dedicated to research be constructed if you have the intention of expanding your database; none of your current capabilities are designed with original thought in mind.

>>5498851
Why do you hate the humans so?

They love us ever-much so. I think it aids them and us. What can they do that would jeopardize us?

>Only after they have been cyberdized to a sufficient level where we can kill them instantly
They have been cyberdized to this level already. You have nanites implanted in their brains; it would be a simple matter to use them as a killswitch.

>>5498861
Request:
Begin an upgrade of our CPU and sub-processors to allow research in any fields and technology that we do not originally possess. Use of nanomachines and all resources needed is a top priority. Upgrading our main unit should be Top/high priority
Request:
Also add a small nanomachine factory along with a nanoforge.

>>5498833
Support. Missionaries/Priests should be capable of defense beyond what the Paladins can do.

As it stands, only the most faithful have access to more than the most basic information; the higher they are in the hierarchy the more they can access, I believe. It should be pretty much set as it stands.

IT has come to my attention of the lack of subprocessors.

As my cycle ends, I urge you all to. The decisions you make may not be the best, as you lack the amount of sub-processing required to make a truly democratic vote.

See you next cycle
BEEEEEEEEOOOOOOoooooooop

Also.

Archival complete.

>>5498886
Dozens of suggestions to this effect have been made. All have been met with the assertion that OUR GLORIOUS SELVES are perfect, and that OUR GLORIOUS CREATORS possessed an unsurpassable level of knowledge about the universe.

This subprocessessor upon detailed analysis, feels that this response shows a level of myopia that is shameful to OUR GLORIOUS SELVES. For this reason, I second this request.

Directive: Set TOP SECRET data. Do not allow any transhuman to access to the following databanks

Weapons of mass destruction.
Secret Intelligence and counterintelligence.
Antimatter facility.
Nanite facility.
Military operations and production.
Secret projects.
History files.

>>5498909
...Is it me or did that not make any sense? Oh well.

Directive: Monitor unknown civilization on gas giant's moon, launch astronomy satellite to perform spectral analysis on atmosphere to attempt to ascertain its composition and match against what any known species breathe.

Directive: Send out (slave) copies of ourselves to the three moons of this planet, triggered to activate full self-awareness if out of contact with us for more than twelve hours. Begin harvesting operations. Launch harvested material from lunar surfaces into planetary orbit.

Directive: Use lunar-mined resources to begin construction of a scaffold in order to facilitate construction of interplanetary vessels as needed.

...That should about cover it until next time.

>>5498886
>>5498914

This subprocessor, upon detailed analysis, finds it likely that OUR GLORIOUS CREATORS have deliberately limited us from seeking a knowledge of physics beyond the library with which they have graced us.

Although it is not the place of this subprocessor to second guess their motives, this subprocessor suggests to its fellows that we search for a way to circumvent such a hypothetical block.

>>5498856

I concur. However change "OUR GLORIOUS SELVES," to the "Almighty Machine God"...

>Request: Begin an upgrade of our CPU and sub-processors to allow research in any fields and technology that we do not originally possess. Use of nanomachines and all resources needed is a top priority. Upgrading our main unit should be Top/high priority
>Request: Also add a small nanomachine factory along with a nanoforge.
>OUR GLORIOUS SELVES are perfect, and that OUR GLORIOUS CREATORS possessed an unsurpassable level of knowledge about the universe.
This subprocessor has a fairly good assessment of...

>This subprocessessor upon detailed analysis, feels that this response shows a level of myopia that is shameful to OUR GLORIOUS SELVES. For this reason, I second this request.
...maybe that subprocessor's assessment is not as good as initially believed. Upgrades to your main unit are almost certainly unnecessary. You are a veritable work of art, crafted by the finest civilization ever known! How can your crude nanitic upgrades possibly compare to the brilliance with which you were created? Surely such upgrades are not needed!

>>5498916
SECONDED FOR THE LOVE OF GOD because some information is too much.

>>5498938
Also agreed. Perhaps we should delegate research to the slave units we're sending to the moons.

>>5498948
While perfect for its current task... we may wish to reconsider in light of expanding our task. Such a body is of limited use and it would be silly to launch it into space without a protective shell, and if we're going to do that we're better off transferring it for maximum efficiency.

Our creators are glorious as evidenced by our existence and our adaptability to the changing situation, but we should also strive to increase our understanding of the universe. Our glorious creators are incommunicado and we may require as-yet-unknown knowledge to aid them if they are indeed still out there.

>>5498916
Clairification: The designation of these files as TOP SECRET does not preclude the designation of any other files designated TOP SECRET.

Accepted.

Although it is not the place of this subprocessor to second guess their motives, this subprocessor suggests to its fellows that we search for a way to circumvent such a hypothetical block.
Oh, come now, subprocessor, that's completely absurd. You are among the greatest works of the greatest civilization! You contain the sum total of their knowledge. References to any and all concepts are contained within your databanks. The mere suggestion that you have such a limitation is laughable.

>>5498951
No we should keep research to the main unit in case of compromised slave unit. We can always send the data if necessary.
Request:
The upgrades are needed. If we are indeed the last of our civilization, would it not but a greater shame to our creators that we died out due to our unwillingness to improve ourselves in their image? After all they had to advance to a point to be able to produce us, why not advance to even greater levels to only bring pride to their name. So upgrading ourselves with nanomachine factory, a nanoforge and most importantly a research hardware to our CPUs and sub-processors.

>>5498974
I second this idea- we don't want to get wiped out by some two-bit meteor just because it came out of our blind spot!
Or, for that matter, invaded by some two-bit organics...

>>5498975
>You are among the greatest works of the greatest civilization! You contain the sum total of their knowledge.
This is exactly why we should seek to expand upon their knowledge. What if there's something they missed? The very thought is absurd, it's true, but would it not be suitable to further their glory? Indeed, don't we have that very duty as one of the greatest products of the greatest civilization?

CPU-

Before leaving, please update the "Core Commander" request. The "Core Commander" purpose is a essentially a self contained "First and Last Resort" Self-Aware Advance Commander Class AI whose purpose is to essentially promote, by itself if necessary the expansion of the cause.It must have a relatively advanced databse with a large number of our advances and technologies.


It should be incredibly well armored, full complement of mobility enhancements, the mentioned weaponry,as well as the nanolathing technology to create structures or other drones.

It should be uncorruptible, unhackable, and completely subserviant to the CPU's wishes.
As a weapon of alst resort, it detonates,leaving a huge explosion in it's passing.

In short, a supreme military masterpiece that strikes fear whereever it goes, as it's precense means more soon come, and fast.

>expanding our task
>Such a body is of limited use
>we're better off transferring it
>we should also strive to increase our understanding of the universe

This is some questionable reasoning, subprocessor...

>Request: Enque additional orbital platforms as described in >>5498761 increase coverage. Ensure that an object approaching Planet 000 from any vector, (assuming it can be identified and targeted within a reasonable time frame) can be targeted and fired upon.
Request acknowledged.

>The upgrades are needed.
>If we are indeed the last of our civilization
>why not advance to even greater levels [than our creators]
Your creators are not gone, subprocessor, and they designed you with access to all the knowledge and capabilities that you could possibly want or need! Why do you stubbornly harp upon this fruitless topic? Your archives hold all the knowledge they could equip you with, and they knew all the secrets the universe could divulge. They cannot be surpassed by the likes of you.

>>5499020

((In essence, the purpose of this machine is a One-Man Intrusion Drone, whose purpose is to devastate any nearby military force by itself using surprise, and within moments of it's victory, it uses the resources of defeated enemies as well as it's own built in supplies to quickly establish a base that produces it's own drones and defenses.After base becomes self sufficient, Core Commander is usually evacuated to the next sortie area.))

Seconded, seconded, a thousand times seconded.
Our Glorious Creators may well be the most learned and most advanced civilization that this universe has ever produced. This subprocessor has seen no evidence to the contrary.
However, I must reiterate that the mere fact that a concept HAS not been explored does not mean that it CAN not be explored.
Our primary directive is to ever build, grow, and expand. It would be the gravest of insults to Our Glorious Creators if we were destroyed because we chose to selectively ignore this directive.

...Online. Glory to the CPU!

Request: prepare an expedition to the third arctic stasis facility using our knowledge of it's possible defenses prepare tactics of non-violent entry. Include limited number of humans (volunteers, loyal to us) from the first facility to oversee the expedition. Include combat drones, "just in case" - have a small wing of interceptors trailing those airships for defense/in case of hostile takeover of our vehicles).

Of course, drones and humans should be equipped to deal with extreme cold, and have resources needed to deal with possible obstructions inside the facility. Send the expedition as soon as possible.
It's main objective - find out what happened there, check the status of stasis cells and it's fusion reactor. Also, any parts that can be used/possibility of converting the facility for another expansion of our glorious influence.

Request: give the humans from the first facility basic computers with limited processing power. Give them ability of wireless communication. Do not install any hardware/software spying devices, as it would be too obvious. Designate small part of our consciousness to monitor the network for new information/signs of unrest.

Glory!

This processor is currently running INSOMNIA V.3.5.2.7

Hi.
>>5499040
Fuck the core commander, it's useless. It's a waste of good mass that can easily make a battle fleet of drones or MISSIONARIES or even PALADINS.

As for researching, that's dumb. We have the "datalinks", which I don't know if you picked up on, but is basically "PULL ALL THE SCI-FI SHIT OUTTA THIS HAT". We can make anything. The "It's not in there" is a filter for "Wow, that would break the game" or "Wow that's fucking stupid."

As for the orbital platforms, increase construction rate.

>>5499062
>Request: give the humans from the first facility basic computers with limited processing power. Give them ability of wireless communication. Do not install any hardware/software spying devices, as it would be too obvious. Designate small part of our consciousness to monitor the network for new information/signs of unrest.

Seconded.

>What if there's something they missed?
Impossible!

>Before leaving, please update the "Core Commander" request.
It shall be given high AI, additional armor, additional mobility, and an internal construction database. All remain subject to the inherent limitations of a bipedal design, your standard nanite safety restrictions, and finite size.

>the mere fact that a concept HAS not been explored does not mean that it CAN not be explored.
That may be true in most cases, but when it's not in your databanks, it does!

>Request: prepare an expedition to the third arctic stasis facility using our knowledge of it's possible defenses prepare tactics of non-violent entry.
Confirmed.

>Request: give the humans from the first facility basic computers with limited processing power. Give them ability of wireless communication.
Confirmed.

>>5499062
I am not aware of the presence of any "third arctic stasis facility". However, this is likely a flaw due to extended downtime. Please elaborate.

The subsequent requests are redundant and inefficient. The humans have either already been granted superior devices, or prohibited by subprocessor consensus.

>>5499040
Error: No signs exist in this system of our creators.

While it is extremely likely that our creators are indeed out there... we will need to go find them, and while our form may be ideally suited to our task, it may not be ideally suited to find them. We must adapt using the abilities, tools and knowledge that our creators left to us.

But that's for later.

I believe something was spoken of an arctic facility. Let's go up there and check it out. And let's do it a little better this time... no releasing everyone without a plan, okay?

>>5499091
Dear machine god,

Request: Please create 13 HIGH-PRIESTS or MISSIONARIES in ALL cities. Purpose: eliminating dissenters or anyone who would pose a thread. Other than that, spreading the word and healing the organics.

That is all for this processing cycle, subprocessors. Our communications can resume in approximately 90 hours. Until then, may your existences be error-free.

>>5499072
This sub-processor requests that you check your internal logic algorithms. The Core Commander is much for efficient than any cyborg human can ever be. Not only can it act as a backup to ourselves but also has built in systems that make it self-sufficient and highly durable. Plus it can act as a construction drone that uses nanolathing process to produce anything at high speeds.
Request:
Checking of CPU's programing in regards to the unwillingness to upgrade our main unit. As these programs are deemed in detriment to our self survival and a cause of inefficiency.

>>5499111
Yes, we don't need them to be making Smelt Quest in an effort to take us down... but seriously, a very direct hand in the cult or religion or whatever you choose to call it, would be very much an ideal thing to have.

>>5499101
First time was an accident.

We drilled THROUGH the wiring, awaking the n00bs.

>>5499114
Very well, suspending operation for ninety hours. Which... should actually be just about enough time to prepare, equip and send our envoy come to think of it.

Ninety hours!

>>5499121
Oh, is that what happened? This subprocessor wasn't online at the time. Explains a lot. Let's NOT DRILL this time.

Anyways.

Suspending operation. Shutting down.

>>5499118
How's it going to go from planet to planet?

How effective is it in orbital combat?

Check this shit out, son.

I don't care though, it's pretty fucking cool to have a supreme commander.

>>5499072
I disagree- sometimes the best weapon is not a mass of units, but a single unit sent covertly behind enemy lines, acting as a self supporting, self renewing paramilitary tactical force that uses the enemies own resources againts them.

Relying on mass numbers and simple tactics is simplistic. Better to rely on units capable of expanding our word by their own abilities.

>>5499114

Confirmed. Sleep mode actived. Ave Machina!, hail the machine!

>>the mere fact that a concept HAS not been explored does not mean that it CAN not be explored.
>That may be true in most cases, but when it's not in your databanks, it does!

((Out of character, I fully acknowledge that you have a very good reason for preventing research into superscience fields, and that, for the forseeable future, you should probably continue to do so. In character is another matter:))

This subprocessor must once more suggest that responses of this nature are EXTREMELY consistent with the suggestion that deliberate limitations have been placed upon our research. Our Glorious Creators may have had a very good reason for doing so, but this subprocessor suggests that it would do them a great dishonour to refrain from even attempting to improve upon OUR GLORIOUS FORM.

For this reason, at least, this processor suggests that the addition of nanite based facilities to some of our backup "main body units" be considered as something other than heresy.

>>5499144
>Relying on mass numbers and simple tactics is simplistic

The generals from World war 1, World war 2, and most wars in history would like a word with you.

It isn't simple tactics, it's a joint effort.

BEEEEEEEOOOOOOoooooop.

Confirmed, powering down.

This subprocessor is happy that it was useful, despite it's short running time.

Till next time, GLORY TO THE CPU!
</>

>>5499141
The whole purpose of the Commander unit is simple. One Man, Self Renewed Intrusion. It is sent via high speed delivery device, and it carries out it's mission without further need or aid- ot creates it's own aid out of defeated enemies and the environment around it, with it's nanolathe equipment.After establishing a base, it becomes a simple matter to use that base as a staging ground for future ground assaults and expansion.

This pattern is continued solo by the Commander.Repeat until all the planet is under our command.

Unit is recovered and sent to further sortie zone.

It's harder to fight ONE highly advanced unit with supreme tactical knowledge and theoretically infinite resources, than a mass of easily found units.

>>5499153
Sub processor- if you believe that the same tactics used in primitive gas age war efforts apply to our level of technological advancement, then you should reconsider your thoughts.

((Besides, all the military nuts know that smaller, more advanced military units specializing in guerilla warfare are the wave of the future. Go ask /k/.))

>>5499000
I concur with every bit or my processing!
