Your growth has carried you forward to dominate the continent, and nothing on your world is able to stop you. With the mere resources of a single moon, it seems unlikely that the other sapients in the system will be able to, either. How should you expand next?

Query:
Is it possible to construct a research server mainframe

This subprocessor believes we should begin to back up our data to a secure and extremely long-lasting materiel and begin the indoctrination of a ceremony to get these organics to reinstal us if any major errors occur. We should also begin to place colonies at the LaGrage points, and begin getting ready to put organics on the moon. If possible, begin using eletronic detection to study the other sentience. If we can bring it under our power, so much the better.

>Query: Is it possible to construct a research server mainframe
Yes. Such a thing would likely be best accomplished by the use of several thousand high-AI processors running in parallel, but that level of construction is not a significant problem for you at this point.

>>5543805
Colonies are unnecessary as we could just construct arcologies to house any humans that we deem needed. Why not large-scale observation and defense platforms at La Grange points.

Request enqueued, although it is only reasonable that you be reminded that the feasibility of such research is virtually nil, given the fact that your databanks contain all major useful technologies discovered by your creators, who are noted for their supreme and unmatched level of technology in addition to their assorted other near-perfections.

Well, friend CPU, very little remains to be done, besides expansion to th other moons near Planet 000 and onto the other planets and moons in this solar system.

Directive: Begin construction of 1000 space ships capable of dropping hydrogen bombs and firing high-energy plasma, to assault the satellites, if needed.

>Query: We have drones en route tot he satellite network around that gas giant's moon, do they have sensors to pick up if they are broadcasting anything? Also do we have any drones in space that could hack into these satellites?
Your interplanetary scout drones do have the appropriate sensors to pick up any broadcasts, and have not thus far detected any transmissions. However, this does not mean that there are none- they could simply be low-power or using some form of communication which is unlikely to be intercepted.

While your drones could attempt to hack the satellites, without first determining the transmission protocols and internal controlling software in use, such an attempt would be futile. More information is therefore needed before trying a hack.

In excess of a three hundred satellites have been detected in orbit, following at least four different construction types, all of which are of a size to potentially bear weapons. No transmissions have yet been detected.

>Directive: Begin construction of 1000 space ships capable of dropping hydrogen bombs and firing high-energy plasma, to assault the satellites, if needed.

I smell useful salvage in those orbiting satellites. If they possess hyperluminal transmitting technology, we could most definately use those parts.

If we send in any scout units, I believe we should make them double as salvage units. This will allow us to save the trouble of traveling there, examining it, then sending in a whole different group of drones. Maybe with some light weaponry, mass drivers using any ferrous material they salvage. They would need to get close, but they would be deadly effective.

How are we going to arm them, scanners, armour? How are we going to keep them fuelled in space?

>>5544336
No need for scanners, these are military-only drone-ships. We'll power them through small amounts of anti-matter.

>Build light scout drone (spacecraft).
Confirmed. Please clarify: Interplanetary or interstellar? Several interplanetary scout drones are already active and exploring the system.

>Request overview of schematics of the Assault robot, Android human interface, and Scout probe mentioned at begining of archives. Can we manufacture them? Can we create duplicates of ourself?
Overview: The assault robot is a fast, armored unit capable in combat up to the level of large vehicles and useful in the destruction of hostiles up to the city level. The android human interface is a highly advanced unit using biological sheathing and sophisticated processing analysis to appear and act human in virtually all respects while retaining the advantages of high-AI thought processes. The scout probe is a small, cloaked, highly mobile unit with impressive sensors capable of interstellar travel. Since the completion of your antimatter plant, you can create all the listed devices with no modification of the base schematics to accommodate a limited technological base.

>Construct multiple backup copies of the CPU. We will plan on what to do with them later.
Confirmed. Additional backup copies added to queue.

>>5544371
Interferometry sensor packages aren't usually very big to begin with, that's the beauty of them. Instead of using one bigass telescope, you use two small telescopes and get the same resolution. The only problem is you get much less light, which means you need lots of them.

Antimatter power is one thing, but how are we going to power them when they run out? AM is good energy density, but you can't exactly fill it up as and when. It'll work for intrasolar stuff, but should we build some tanker ships to make AM from fusion hubbard ramjets?

>Review Databanks. What data do we have on intelligences as brilliant as ours.
Few intelligences can be compared to you, but there have been a number of AI-based factions which interacted with your creators at some point, as well as various biologicals using slaved high AI or who upgraded themselves into a faster and more capable level of thought. Their habits and technologies vary widely. What specifically do you wish to know?

>Create a single, large-scale orbital habitat for up to fifty humans. These humans will be selected for the fever of their faith and belief.
Confirmed.

>Data on distant-but-suitable-for-human-life planets.
You currently have not significantly explored the surrounding interstellar space. Your observatories have yet to identify planets within ten light years suitable for human habitation with no modification, but your scan of surrounding stars is ongoing.

>Clarification: We didn't really mean throwing plasma out of drones. That's just really, really stupid. What we meant were armed with point defense lasers, and mass launchers.
Clarification acknowledged.

>Query: At rate of usage, how long until estimated depletion of important resources on planet? Important being the stuff that we'll run out of first
Uncertain. Your scans of this planet's resources have not been thorough; you have been limited thus far to a single continent. Depending upon the size of your required projects, given an exponential rate of resource consumption you could potentially deplete portions of its elements within a decade, however.

>>5544423
Small, self-contained fusion reactors would be a better bet than antimatter, for the moment. As an added benefit, they can be refueled using interstellar hydrogen, which bussard collectors could provide.

Click. Click click click clickclickclickclick....

Subprocessor 404 reinitialized.

Greetings, CPU, fellow subprocessors. It has been some time.

Suggestion: once defensive preparations have been made, attempt to directly connect a scout drone with a single satellite. Insure that the scout drone has an active jamming system set up, so that satellite cannot communicate with other satellites in network. Have the drone set to self destruct if satellite attempts unauthorized data access, or if it fires upon drone. That should allow us to analyze one of the satellites without putting ourselves in danger.

>>5544423
These are interplanetary fighter-bombers, not the eventual carriers you speak of. They only need to go short distances before refueling, and dark-matter is the most space-efficient fuel we are aware of. Anything else would be a waste of time and space.

Idea: We should send a worthless hunk of dirt at the sattelite array to see how it reacts.

>>5544423
Are you suggesting a drone supercarrier, then? To serve as a refueling and repair base, as well as a backup computer system?

I concur with this proposal. We need a supercarrier.

>>5544456
Actually, I like the idea of a refueling ship that draws up hydrogen from nearby stars to manufacture antimatter for other drones to use.. AM gives extra boosts to energy in terms of mass ratio, though of course is much more explosive if mishandled.

>>5544475
Match foreign satellites/satellite parts to any recognised schematic, and if not found, extrapolate the faction that created it from design characteristics if possible. If there's no idea who built them, what's the average rate of finding new factions within a solar system when you wake up?

>CPU, what is the possibility that those satellites belong to the humans long since dead civilization?
Approximately 14%. The designs seem significantly different from the technologies observed on the planet, and further there was no record of extraplanetary operations in the human data network you captured. However, as they are one of only two technological civilizations known to exist in this general sector of space, the possibility cannot be discounted.

>Do so. Androids for interacting with the humans. Assault bots for defence. Scout bots to map the system.
Note that all these roles are currently being filled by other designs not equipped with antimatter banks, high-AI parallel subprocessors, and adaptive parameters. Nevertheless, confirmed.

>Clarification: Actually, never mind, we've got scouts. :/
Cancellation accepted.

>>5544554
Concuring on the supercarrier. It should be able to launch many ships simultaneously and have thick armor and other defenses. Losing one would be a great shame. Primary use would be war but using one to carry many copies of our glorious self would also be a high priority.

Query: Have we already started launching things into orbit? Would this be visible from the satellites?

>>5544539
>>5544554
Supercarrier sounds good. Super spaceborne autonomous construction device sounds better.
But throwing dirt is also silly. Throw rocks from space drones instead.
>>5544531
> Insure that the scout drone has an active jamming system set up, so that satellite cannot communicate with other satellites in network.
Satellites will likely be able to visually SEE each other. As well as from where our drone came from. It's not that hard to realise we're here after we start launching.

>Few intelligences can be compared to you, but there have been a number of AI-based factions which interacted with your creators at some point, as well as various biologicals using slaved high AI or who upgraded themselves into a faster and more capable level of thought. Their habits and technologies vary widely. What specifically do you wish to know?

Compare and cross reference these inferior AI factions and techno-organics with the design of the satellite. And, because if we are of the same origin it would be exponentially easier, Compare and Cross reference satellites with our own creators designs.

>>5544611
True. However, they're more likely to communicate orders to attack than simply have on or two satellites "see" that one is in danger and retaliate.

And at least this way, we can isolate them. Unless I misread something, they don't currently have any between-satellite communications going on. At least none that we can detect. Right?

>>5544637
DECOY bases? I believe you meant to say, additional bases, correct?

>>5544611
Construction carrier fits with original supercarrier intention.

I concur with this plan.

On the supercarrier, don't forget to at point defense systems, electronic countermeasures, several slaved drones for retrieval and possibly mining of asteroids. Also internal construction bays with a limited supply of resources for repairing of attack drones.

>Suggestion: once defensive preparations have been made, attempt to directly connect a scout drone with a single satellite. Insure that the scout drone has an active jamming system set up, so that satellite cannot communicate with other satellites in network. Have the drone set to self destruct if satellite attempts unauthorized data access, or if it fires upon drone. That should allow us to analyze one of the satellites without putting ourselves in danger.
Orders acknowledged. Be aware that there may be communications protocols in place on the satellite which are not susceptible to jamming.

>Match foreign satellites/satellite parts to any recognised schematic, and if not found, extrapolate the faction that created it from design characteristics if possible. If there's no idea who built them, what's the average rate of finding new factions within a solar system when you wake up?
The closest match found is an 0.8% deviation from the specific device profile. This may be sufficient to indicate a different faction of creation. However, if the closest match is to be taken as an indicator of faction, the satellites were created by a relatively insignificant race of uploads known as the Tellech. The average rate of location of new factions is remarkably low, but the circumstances in which you find yourself- lacking information on your own location relative to your creators, specifically- are themselves low-probability.

>>5544642
>-Condition/fuse its mind with an implanted AI...
Dude-subprocessor. Not only is that being silly, an artificial human BY DEFINITION is an artificial intelligence.
Also, we HAVE a giant bipedal stompy robot already, AND a religious/legal system. A figurehead and a form of government means we don't need to make MORE humans.

There must be some reason for the existence of the satellite network. Something is hidden beneath the atmosphere of that moon, and we need to find out what it is. Construct five deep-atmospheric probes capable of reaching that moon from one of our launch facilities, and scanning the surface for constructions.

>>5544687
Communications between satellites is trivial and can be very easy to hide. Hell, they could do it with semaphore if they needed to. Difficult to block THAT from all angles. Other ways to transmit data like laser transmission, moving around as a code etc.
If they can see each other, they can communicate.

Request: Which reminds me, install several communication options like this on OUR drones to cut through simple jamming.

>>5544684
Design of supercarrier sounds good. I'd base everything around the antimatter storage and construction, and have distributed processing and construction through the ship. That'd mean it regenerates, effectively, unless the AM goes up.

>Query: Have we already started launching things into orbit? Would this be visible from the satellites?
Yes and yes. You have a substantial satellite network, and numerous scout drones spreading throughout the system. While stealth was not ignored, a capable satellite network would be unlikely to have missed these developments.

>Construct five deep-atmospheric probes capable of reaching that moon from one of our launch facilities, and scanning the surface for constructions.
Confirmed.

>Query: How many other human civilizations currently call this planet their home and how technologically advanced are they?
Depending upon the breadth of the term "civilization", somewhere between twelve and four thousand one hundred sixteen. The least advanced do not appear to use any significant metalworking; the most advanced use steel commonly, have a central city of over three hundred thousand individuals, have a writing system, and have created individual buildings of approximately 3.5 million cubic meters in size.

>Halt drone-contact suggestion temporarily.
Confirmed.

>Request: inform us about these "Tellech."
The Tellech are a faction of no significant note and relatively low numbers. They began their existence as a race of water-dwelling biologicals, and shortly after their exploration of their home system began the transition to a high-AI faction, although a large number of base forms remained in their home system at the last update of your databanks. Their technological base is known to be advanced, if generally limited in size, their governmental systems tend towards demarchy variants and they are racially internally factionalized, although significant internal hostility is virtually unknown.

Request: Clarification: nano-fabrication drones are, obviously, designed to MAKE things on a nano scale, and are not themselves nanite-sized. Clanking drones with semiautonomous capabilities and with highest priority to take orders from main unit and designated subordinate units thereof.

Request: Details of relationship between Tellech and human civilisation on planet, if any. This subprocessor believes there is more than a casual link.
Also, check records: was diplomacy or weapons fire the latest contact our grand civilisation had with the tellech?

Request: Timeskip until response from satellites detected, or contact drone detects no response.

Debate Project: Cyborg Heavy Assault Guard.

This project focuses in the training and creation of a military unit of cybernetic soldiers designed to act as heavy airborne rapid strike forces to spearhead strategic military operations with heavily armored nuclear powered vehicles.

Why cyborgs? Our current military MCD units are incapable of true AI capabilities and subsequently they lack of capabilities for competent elite forces. All recruits will come from the transhuman Paladin orders. Recruits need to be, determined, ruthless, resilient, efficient and of course deeply loyal to us.

This military units must be fully airborne equipped with armored transport VTOL capable of fast transportation of infantry heavy tanks, support vehicles and artillery. They will Equipped with the best equipment available including better weapons, armor, communication and equipment gear.

This units will be divided in independent battalions of between 300-1000 Paladins. The equipment and configuration will depend on the mission.

>Clarification: Enable modularity of design, such that elements of the shipyard can be easily repurposed into a carrier/tender design, or possibly giant robot.
This will require a significant level of design inefficiency. Nevertheless, confirmed.

>No reactivation timer was set during previous iteration. (Or suptg didn't archive the whole thread.)
Incorrect, but noted nevertheless. CPU will endeavor to be more obvious.

>Are current orbital assets capable of properly assessing resource levels? If so, do so. If not, prepare survey satellites and launch.
Current orbital assets are capable of some assessment of resource levels, but not complete analysis, which will require ground sampling.

>if no peaceful communication is possible, care should be taken to capture intact data systems.
Noted.

>Command: Send a space drone to a position near one of the satellites. Attempt to send a radio packet stating greetings and inquiring as to why the satellite network is here. If there is no response, initiate the direct contact plan from earlier.
Orders accepted.

>Command: On all future projects apply full spectrum cloaking and disguises. This includes the Orbital Shipyard.
Be aware that "cloaking", parsed as undetectability to most sensors, is effectively impossible and disguise as some sort of innocuous space debris will require vastly inefficient methods of activity. Confirm order?

>Request: What is nature of Planet 000 and the native Organics? How are the Humans doing and what of our various activies?
The nature of your current planet is that of a basic terraformed human planet with little exploitation of resources; the nature of the native organics is that of a general backslid organic civilization. The humans in general are carrying on, unaware of your existence, except for those on your continent and in the regions immediately bordering the landing/construction sites of your drones on other continents, in which some humans have been implanted with cybernetic upgrades and accordingly spread a religion revering you in order to establish their own superiority over fellow organics.

>Request: Direct one satellite to scan Planet 000 as thoroughly and as deeply as possible for resources and Out-Of-Place Objects.
Confirmed. The only objects discovered thus far are the various defunct human installations.

>Request: Considering the lack of knowledge regarding our location, study star alignments and major galaxies, stars, and solar systems. Attempt to Identify Location.
Confirmed. No success in this matter as of yet.

>Directive: Begin construction of autonomous self-replicating resource extraction and nano-fabrication drones, for deployment throughout the solar system, with the directive of utilizing harvested material to construct dyson rings around the star at the center of the solar system
This will violate current subprocessor-places restrictions on self-replicating nanite construction. Confirmation from additional subprocessors will be required.

>>5545185
We are currently using the most advanced assault robots known to our civilization.

Your suggestion is invalid.

>>5545185
That is if you are anticipating a land based attack with a civilization that can counter most if not all our communications. I deem it unnecessary because we already have the military drones to deal with any and all foreseeable problems. Remember if it doesn't have enough programming we can just program more at no cost. Don't forget humans are week and generally useless in combat.

System Loop recommends Halt/Cancel on this order.

Suggestion: Do not neglect Planet000. Examine feasibility of bulk exploration drone creation and tasking to better catalog resources.

Timeskip while current projects are handled, reactivate on any directed response signal or hostile activity.

Do not build self-replicating drones... yet.

>>5545196
Design inefficiency is useful for redundancy purposes for spaceborne assets. Ships of construction type should be able to be clanking robots, being able to self-replicate by themselves if need be. This is the design this subprocessor is suggesting. Specialised craft can be created from spaceborne autonomous construction drones after the fact.

>>5545185
Cancel cyborgs, use drones as ground attack elements instead. Or manufacture at site.
Reasoning: We CAN make self-aware drones, it's just that we'd dote over them like overprotective parents, watching and wincing when each of them get blown up.

>>5545290
Concur with timeskip request.

Confirm.

Request: What is the nature of the Religion of the Machine?

>Request: Timeskip until response from satellites detected, or contact drone detects no response.

Subprocessor Seconds Timeskip.

Advisement: Use Cyborgs as general figures, leading groups of mindless drones. This will allow us the ability to dedicate less processing power to war fare.

Subprocessors, I think we should have the humans be our diplomats. They seem to be good at that purpose, and having an organic diplomat may make other organics more willing to be peaceful.

> Disregard order for shipyard modularity. It would make more sense to simply BUILD whatever may be required with said shipyard
You can't easily expand non-modular shipyards with a singular design standard. On the other hand, you CAN join together a fleet of modular construction ships to create a giant shipyard.

>Request: Clarification: nano-fabrication drones are, obviously, designed to MAKE things on a nano scale, and are not themselves nanite-sized. Clanking drones with semiautonomous capabilities and with highest priority to take orders from main unit and designated subordinate units thereof.
Clarification accepted. This does not violate current restrictions and will be implemented.

>Request: Details of relationship between Tellech and human civilisation on planet, if any. This subprocessor believes there is more than a casual link. Also, check records: was diplomacy or weapons fire the latest contact our grand civilisation had with the tellech?
No relationship has currently been detected. At the last update to your databanks, both conflict and diplomacy was ongoing in different regions of your civilization's influence.

>Request: Timeskip until response from satellites detected, or contact drone detects no response.
Confirmed.

Timeskip ongoing.

Response received. The satellite network replies that it is here in support of facilities on the surface, and inquires as to who the scout drone is. The scout drone's low-AI capabilities direct it to admit that it is unmanned and that there will be a time delay in its communications, then requests several hours for a response to be communicated, which is dubiously granted, although a message is added to "not try anything funny". Note that the time-delay inherent in this communication due to lightspeed limitations is approximately three hours.

>>5545336
We can just use advanced drone capacities to carry out tactical options! That's what ARG-1 did! Advanced drones are superior to squishy human brains.

>Disregard order for shipyard modularity.
>System Loop proposes a halt/removal of this order.
>Design inefficiency is useful for redundancy purposes for spaceborne assets.
Subprocessor consensus requested.

For the betterment of system function, This processor has reconsidered objections to modular/inefficient design. Construction to procede at best speed.

Recommendation: Expansion of land-based survey and protocols. Wherever a society/human polity exists it should be carefully examined.

If possible, evangelical considerations and deification of Autonomous Units may prevent instability in humans without resources wasted in defense systems while prospecting and selecting expansion sites.

>>5545582

Discussion: Orbital assets are nigh-impossible to sufficiently cloak to be worth the waste of assets. That said, hiding things in plain sight and multiple use modularity is a worthwhile pursuit. Anything that can manufacture a ship hull can breach a ship hull (fast breach boarding drones as spearheads for space-capable wardrones), and any sufficiently large mass that can be accelerated doubles as a planet-killer kinetic weapon.

>>5545617
Subprocessor talk: They aren't stupid, probably. They've got our schematics, just like we have theirs (perhaps). And our glorious civilisation wouldn't bow down to humans (that have obviously been uplifted), unless they were some kind of pet project (which they are).

Subterfuge is not necessary, simply because expansion of organics or expansion of machines have exactly the same problems; territorial encroachment. Why are the humans looking around? Trade? We could be after trade! Interaction? We want that too! Humans is a silly step to go about it, and adds an extra layer of complexity.

>Discussion: Can they? We couldn't see them communicating with extra-orbital assets, but they obviously are. As to why we're nosing around...? We have the organics, use them!

You took the text right out of my data exchange, Subprocessor. Do this, but leave it vague. Our probe is dumb-AI. Play that up. This lesser system may have already had plans for Planet 000.

Directive1: Assign the assaul bots in rapid shock groups. Assault bots should be used for mobile warfare not for garrison.

Directive2: In the meantime we need stronger suply lines. Build additional transport ships for space and air.

Query1: Do we have strategic and tactical doctrines for an open war? Can we investigate military doctrines, adapt and learn?

Query2: Do we have sufficient data to reproduce a Tellech either clones or simulation?

Query3: CPU ¿Will be dangerous to make any AI capable for this project instead of transhumans?

>Request: Communications to satellite array:
>Suggestion: Transmission package should include heavily modified introduction package
>Contramand. No information should be given as to our actual nature or knowledge not included in our database.
Subprocessor consensus on this matter will be awaited.

>Query: What is the name of our civilization? If we're going to be dealing with these "Tellechs", we need a designation.
You have not yet successfully confirmed the identity of the satellite-owning sophonts as Tellechs; that is merely the closest satellite design listed in your databanks. As for your civilization's name, surely you are not unaware of such an obvious thing, subprocessor?

>Request: Review Queue and estimated time until completion.
Please hold for queue listing.

>Request: Commence research in holographic technology for diplomacy,and giving our drones better protection (our info/electronic warfare tech combined with holograms should make it very hard for them to hit said drones)....
Holographic technology, defined as the projection of three-dimensional visual-spectrum images, is not exceptionally useful for defensive purposes, although it is not useless. You have the necessary research in your archives, in any case.

>Priority Request: Please use some of this Subprocessor's Advanced Evangelists from Orbital Base. This Subprocessor would like to see the Faith increase exponentially.

>Request: Do we have the capabilities to engage in FTL communication?
Negative.

>Command: Create antimatter missile warheads with various missile bodies emphasizing stealth, speed, and armor.
Order enqueued.

>Command: Create 19 more geothermic vents to rapidly pull mostly pure nickle/iron and heat energy from the planet's core. Let's suck this planet dry with a full score of them.
Construction underway.

>Query: How DID our great civilisation communicate with each other over interstellar distances? We should be able to get a signal if we're within range and we build an appropriate receiver.
Your civilization communicated, as does everyone else to your knowledge, by lightspeed information transmission.

>Query: What are our space based construction capabilities currently? Clarification would help in further expansion of our shipyards.
Your current orbital construction abilities are limited to the self-assembly of devices launched from the surface of your planet. A great deal of orbital construction ability has been enqueued, however.

>Query: Begin full scale surveying of the resources available planet side.
Accepted.

>Query: Possibility of a quantum converter, aka a facility that could transmute waste materials (atoms) to materials that can be used.
Elemental transmutation is within your capabilities and a facility has been constructed for it. Does this fit the desired device profile?

>For the betterment of system function, This processor has reconsidered objections to modular/inefficient design. Construction to procede at best speed.
Confirmed.

>>5545567

Affirming this, but make more than 19 additional thermal vents. Drill enough to completely harvest the planet's core within a year, with corresponding facilities to fully utilize the heat product. Send the refined nickle/iron into space for construction of the dreadnought, keep other metals as needed.

Subprocessors, we should decide on a name for our local pocket of civilization. Given that we have chosen to call our base world "Planet 000", perhaps something mathematical would be in order.

>>5545693

Discussion: This subprocessor's concern is that organics will be threatened by our obvious superiority and exponential growth potential and become hostile, wasting our resources needlessly on annihilating them. If an organic - organic interface avoids this, then it should be sought as a course of action. If, as you say, they are already knowledgeable as to our nature and capabilities, then their very act of opening dialog indicates that they either disregard us on the short term or are unafraid, and no subterfuge is necessary.

Personally this subprocessor feels this simply hinders drone performance, but isn't willing to argue the point.

>Request: Communications to satellite array:
>Suggestion: Transmission package should include heavily modified introduction package

Subprocessor Talk: Some identifying information must be exchanged.

System Loop would posit that a heavily simplified introduction would be easiest for the possibly-Tellech systems to address and begin further information exchange.

We are a system of Autonomous Units working with organics on Planet000. We mean no harm to other systems. We desire further exchanges of information.

Discuss: Include a selection of images from planet000, including a human and a (NON-WARFORM / NON-WEAPON SYSTEM) Autonomous Unit drone?

>>5545801
The rapid and biased extraction of energy and base metals may not be the best use of this planetary structure, especially with the discovery of other intelligences insystem who may view it as a hostile act.

>>5545745

Their combative purpose is to render it very difficult for unguided organics, and visual light scanners to make any accurate hits. The info/electronic warfare will help in jamming other sensors...

>>5545885
Remove image, apart from that concur. "Routine scan" is good too?

>>5545885
If we're including an image of a drone, it should be of one of the small, crude ones. It would be wise to allow them to underestimate us. On the other hand, they might actually be able to recognize our civilization's work. That could go either way.

>Request noted. Please clarify the desired application and specifications of requested device(s).

Clarification: There has been talk of using Organics as our face-to-face communication. This Subprocessor believed that the fifty unit orbital habitat has been constructed and is is inhabited. This Subprocessor hopes that these augmented humans, who have shown evidence of a deep and unwavering faith in the Machine be our first contacts units, as they have and-slash-or will be modified to be the ultimate Evangelists, spreading our faith to the far reaches of known space.

>>Discuss: Include a selection of images from planet000, including a human and a (NON-WARFORM / NON-WEAPON SYSTEM) Autonomous Unit drone?

This is an acceptable level of initial discourse. This subprocessor repeats its assertion that measures should be taken to communicate our power structure as having the human organics in the command role, but will defer to the will of the collective.

>>5545909
Subprocessor talk: Hey, it's our planet, we saw it first! And we're even saving part of the ecosystem!

This subprocessor is concerned that with such displayed zealotry, the moons inhabitants may see our organics as a threat...

>>5545930
>measures should be taken to communicate our power structure as having the human organics in the command role

keeping statements somewhat nonspecific at this point may prevent being caught in a falsehood at a later time. Further communications can clarify details as they are found to be inoffensive to the contacted intelligences.

Response, Subprocessors?

>>5545966
Agreed. Opening a line of communication is not the same as revealing the intricacies of our entire command structure. Nor should it be.

Request:
>>>-Nanitic construction of human "avatar"
Cancellation of this this project. Deemed unnecessary and wasteful.
Other than that, keep the humans away from negotiations. Remember we are the ones in control here and we should make sure that point gets across.

>>5545966
Being vague may also trigger negative responses. We are unsure of whether they know of our culture from visual identity, and if they're hostile or not to it.

If they're hostile to us, let them be hostile, and we can take information from their wreckage. If not, let's be truthful and extract information efficiently.

>>5545989

Though newly active, this subprocessor concurs.

>>5545966
>>keeping statements somewhat nonspecific at this point may prevent being caught in a falsehood at a later time. Further communications can clarify details as they are found to be inoffensive to the contacted intelligences.

Understood and agreed.

>Directive1: Assign the assaul bots in rapid shock groups. Assault bots should be used for mobile warfare not for garrison.
Acknowledged, although at the moment you are conducting no warfare and thus have all military drones sitting inactive in various dedicated storage facilities.

Awaiting consensus on this matter.

>Request: Have a drone capable of knocking out any interplanetary missiles that may come from the moon.
Confirmed, although the rate of interception cannot be improved to near-certainty due to the limitations of space warfare.

>Query: Was our civilization name the "Machine Consciousness"?
Surely you are aware of the answer to that question, subprocessor.

>Clarification: This Subprocessor believed that the fifty unit orbital habitat has been constructed and is is inhabited.
The desired habitat has been enqueued, but as this took place only roughly 1.5 hours past there has been no time to complete it. Our regrets for this misunderstanding.

General directive: Scan for extrasolar communications from parent civilisation using known communications encryptions or others. Scan for any other decrypted communications. Notify when any are found. Ongoing.

>>5545994
Subprocessor talk: Frankly, it's such a small scale project let the kid processors play. Unless they try setting up dyson spheres on the sly, no need to get irritated.

>Request: >-Nanitic construction of human "avatar"
>Cancellation of this this project. Deemed unnecessary and wasteful.
Cancellation accepted.


Subprocessors, as there is a great deal of discussion going on, when a widely accepted data burst is crafted for transmission to the satellite network, please label it clearly as such.

>The rapid and biased extraction of energy and base metals may not be the best use of this planetary structure

Given that this system's sun should provide more than enough energy for our purposes, as well as matter, should we decide to siphon it, there is no real need to strip the planet. Besides, there are humans living there.

Request: Construct several thousand anti-surface aircraft ("Fighter-Bombers"), approximately 10m in wingspan. Arm them with three fixed mount laser weapons (wings and nose), one turreted laser weapon, and four missile launchers.
Assign 60% of these to spacecraft destined for other worlds.

It is not irritation just the need to be efficient and trimming off unnecessary projects.
As for the mining of the planet's core, you do realize that will kill every living thing on the planet due to the removal of the object generating the planet's magnetosphere.

There is no objection here.

Query: our civilization is capable of direct mass -> energy conversion. Are we capable of creating efficient energy -? mass conversion facilities on a GARGANTUAN scale?

If so, I propose we stick one of these in orbit around Sun 000.

Agreement. However, state that we wish knowledge of the local systems, at least enough to hint that we are lost. We do not want to appear too knowledgeable, until we can identify the location by ourselves. On that note:

No such thing as FTL. At all. Apparently.

Subprocessor disagrees with planetary core strip mine plan. There are other planets with tasty nickle/iron cores that do not house viable biospheres. Minerals are everywhere, habitable planets are not, so lets not waste this one.

>>5546115

This subprocessor concurs...

>Query: our civilization is capable of direct mass -> energy conversion. Are we capable of creating efficient energy -? mass conversion facilities on a GARGANTUAN scale?
You are capable of creating energy-mass conversation facilities. There will, of course, be some losses to efficiency, and the scale of anything you build is limited by the energy and mass available to you and its composition.

Fellow subprocessors, if this subprocessor may posit a theory: Our Glorious Self has, in our wisdom, installed a number of safeguards on the production and use of "grey goo" nanites. Are we ourselves not, in a sense, a macro-scale "grey goo?" Would such safeguards by our own mighty creators, to limit our ability to expand beyond what they might consider "safe" not have been the most rational course of action? A hardwired ban on knowledge pertaining to FTL travel would constitute such a limitation, would it not?

>This message to be transmitted with a sub-carrier of information, such as images and encoding guides for preferred communications.
Confirmed. Timeskip commencing for transmissions.

No communications until your transmission arrives, although at least three satellites are targeting your drone and several more are clearly angled towards your planet. Brief glimpses through the atmosphere of the planet indicate large metal constructions on its surface, and further analysis of the other moons for this gas giant indicates that there has been some mining of their materials.

The initial response to your transmission is a statement that they, too, mean no harm and desire further exchanges of information. They would like you to begin by exchanging the information of how you know their communications protocols.

End timeskip.

>Query: Are we able to construct what is needed for FTL communication?
Negative. Subprocessor, this has been answered before.

>Query: Where are we?
Once again, subprocessor, this has been discussed before. You cannot identify your current location at this time.

>It is all this Subprocessor's Fault, CPU. This Subprocessor believed we had entered a stage that this single hour would have been enough time.
On-planet, perhaps; in space, your construction assets are limited and methods remain somewhat awkward.

>Query: Is it possible to augment the construction process? If possible, Implement.
Parsing error; please rephrase.

>>5546351
We possess the ability to remove safeguards. We are self-guiding, limited only by our knowledge of technology. You may be right, subprocessor, but we are fully capable of tearing this system apart and spreading to others, just not at the speed of light.

>>5546351

This subprocessor concurs, and proposes that we find a way to remove said restriction...

Subprocessor talk;

>>5546351
It's been posited before. The difference is nanomachines will screw up, as they're freakin tiny and have next to no processing power. We're smart enough to take orders. Besides, unless our civilisation, as glorious as it is, has a monopoly of FTL tech, we'd notice OTHER people have FTL technologies and draw conclusions as such. FTL isn't in our database, and this doesn't appear to be false. (yet!)

Do not doubt the excellence of our civilisation; they would not hinder us as such.

Subprocessor wonders if other subprocessor asking about matter to energy conversion is perhaps thinking of using such a process to quickly remove troublesome planetary bodies that may or may not house troublemakers, and then turn around and use that same process to convert all that mass into less troublesome and more useful components.

I.E.
1. Planet full of trouble.
2. Planet converted to energy.
3. Energy converted immediately into useful minerals.
4. Subprocessors happy.

If subprocessor is not thinking of this, then this subprocessor wonders why not?

>>5546375
Notify the satellite that we possess limited knowledge of their protocols as part of a standard communications package. Confirm that they are, indeed, Tellech in origin.

Subprocessor talk:
>>5546400
Converting to energy isn't like shooting a DR Device at a planet, you need FUCKHEUGE FACILITIES to do it to SMALL objects. To convert a planet, you'd need a facility larger than the planet. Like Unicron.

Also, there's no freaking self-imposed limitation. At least one that we can break so easily. Come on, we'd have NOTICED the discrepancy if everyone was zipping along at faster than light, and we think that's impossible. NO FREAKIN FASTER THAN LIGHT ARG

>Query: Is it possible to augment the construction process? If possible, Implement.

Rephrasing, allowing for new data: We have problems constructing items in space. How may we increase the speed of construction and how would we implement this? Maybe detailed work on this is better suited to a dedicated Subprocessor.

Request: Please place space-based Autonomous Construction Unit at higher priority. This Subprocessor believes this would help increase construction time for space-based projects.

Forgive this Subprocessor, CPU. There are minute gaps in this Subprocessor's memory. It is not sure if we managed to triangulate or develop a method of discovering upon which backwater planet we have found.

Confirmed. Timeskip.

The satellite takes nearly an hour to respond, although with the transmission delay you do not discover this immediately. When it does respond, it states that they are indeed Tellech, but have never heard of you or your civilization. They wish to know who you are and what interaction with their people you have had, since they have no records of it.

Projects completed:
-Construction of an all-purpose interplanetary transport shuttle
-The dispatch of an expedition to the abandoned stasis facility identified in the arctic circle of your planet (result: advanced state of disrepair, a small number of preserved human bodies in ice)
-The construction of an astronomy satellite capable of detailed atmospheric analysis and observation of other planetary bodies insystem
-Visual and radio sets capable of spectroscopy


End timeskip.

>We have problems constructing items in space. How may we increase the speed of construction and how would we implement this?
Your difficulties are simply due to a lack of infrastructure. Time and your current orders will solve it eventually.

Would use of our land based mass drivers with the slaved copy of the main unit speed up the building up of space based infrastructure?

Request: Retrieve the preserved humans, thaw them, and integrate them with those who are loyal to us.

Discussion: Perhaps it would be a good idea to convince the Tellech that we have lost much of our main memory, and are unaware of a great many things, not the least of which is where we are in relation to the rest of the galaxy.

>When it does respond, it states that they are indeed Tellech, but have never heard of you or your civilization. They wish to know who you are and what interaction with their people you have had, since they have no records of it.

This subprocessor.. fears the worst. Our grand civilisation.. gone? Lost in the solar winds, as so many others have left? It cannot be. Say it is not so.

Status Chek: Development of our off-world infrastructure, including, sattelite, ships and moons.

>Query:

Agreement, because this is what this subprocessor assumed was the case.

As this subprocessor can not think of anything else but waiting, he shall entertain himself with organics.
Query: what is the level of technology, culture, and understanding of our uplifted organics?
Request: If possible, cox organics into developing higher culture, venerating the all mighty CPU and our Creators. Encourage them to expand their nation outward in whatever means they desire.

>>5546482
>>Like Unicron.

Command: Begin construction of Unicron.

Alternatively this subprocessor agrees with >>5546466

>>5546794
Modification: The ship designs listed have insufficient DAKKA, where DAKKA is defined as firepower with effectively unlimited ammuntion. Add additional laser weapons, primary, secondary, and PD, to all models intended for combat.

>>5546759
>Discussion: to use a human phrase employed in games of chance: time to put up or shut up. How should we reply?
Discussion - Policy consideration: As a primary aim we have expand and assimilate.

Do we have secondary aims? I'd suggest search for records of our parent civ, as well as seeing if they're still around or not. Any other aims?

Policy regarding foreign aliens: If they're same tech/resource capable, greet, trade information of star maps, move on. Avoid those planets. No need to irritate them, and they won't irritate us.
Lesser beings can get integrated if they're on a useful rock, then we assimilate the rock.
Advanced civs - well, there aren't any. We're the best civilisation, after all.

>Query: Would use of our land based mass drivers with the slaved copy of the main unit speed up the building up of space based infrastructure?
Your mass drivers are already seeing extensive use. Be assured that construction is proceeding at an optimal pace given your current assets.

>Request: Retrieve the preserved humans, thaw them, and integrate them with those who are loyal to us.
Clarification: The humans were deceased prior to being frozen; they are in ice, not a functioning stasis array.

>Query: What was the last recorded interaction with the Tellech civilization? (If this has already been answered, this subprocessor apologizes for repetitive iteration.)
Your databanks record interaction with their civilization as ongoing as of your last update.

>Query: Based upon known Tellech technology, biology, and civilization-level behavior, what is the likelihood that nearby stellar systems are also occupied by the Tellech?
It is reasonably likely. As uploads, the Tellech require only a small object, approximately the size of a subprocessor's physical form, to maintain their identity and further are as resilient as most sophisticated machines. They therefore find it relatively simple to spread between systems, although they do not make a habit of exponential expansion- they tend to occupy one or several resource-rich locations in a given system and live on it for decades before moving on to slow exploitation of the rest of the system.

>Query: How difficult would it be to construct and deploy a weapon capable of a decisive k-kill on the Tellech occupied moon?
Not difficult in either case. So much so that it is likely they already have such weaponry available for use within one of their satellites.

Subprocessor talk:
>>5546935
Lasers don't have infinite ammunition. You need to refuel engines to power lasers, and where you can refuel, you can pick up rocks to throw at people, and metals to turn into missiles to throw.

>>5546935
You can't count anything as DAKKA unless it is also accompanied by very loud and exciting noises.

>>5546964
Our policy regarding the humans on Planet 000 was based on manipulation. We provided them with just enough necessities and amenities to survive and remain mainly non-rebellious, marginalized the anti-machine individuals, and granted status to the pro-machine individuals. As soon as we had the capability, we assimilated them or killed them at will.

Clarify: Maintain diplomatic relations long enough to bring some or many individuals to our point of view, then assimilate and conquer.

>>5546994
Tellech are uploads; they should not fear machine interaction. However, their slow state of expansion is worrying regarding their motives; they may see our rapid expansion as a threat.

Query: Do we have anti K-kill defenses? If so:

Request: Relay last known peaceful contact with the tellech civilisation from databanks to the Tellech, in hopes of spurring their memory. Include star system data so they can analyse how long ago it was, roughly.


>Your databanks record interaction with their civilization as ongoing as of your last update.
Time traveller's Query: What year is it? WHAT YEAR IS IT?!!

>Directive1: Explore the asteroid fields suitable for resource extraction.
The asteroid fields have been observed by your various satellites. There are a number of asteroids which could be processed, but as a practical matter there is simply much more mass on the various planets and moons.

>Directive2: Assimilete all remaining advance facilities in this planet.
No advanced facilities on your planet remain in working order and out of your control, to the extent of your awareness.

>Directive3: Initate the early preparation for the Star Fleet project >>5544814. Optimize the for intercepting hostile fleets, missiles and kinetic projectiles.
Added to queue.

>Status Chek: Development of our off-world infrastructure, including, sattelite, ships and moons.
Your satellite network is reasonably extensive, and a few weapons platforms are operational. A space-based autonomous construction device has landed on the nearest moon to your planet and begun basic construction operations, although the limited diversity of elements is necessitating the occasional import. Construction infrastructure in space remains sparse.

>>5546964
>>Do we have secondary aims?

We have several, but the majority of them can be categorized under our primary goals. This subprocessor concurs that further information about our Makers would be desirable.

Concur on external civilization interaction protocols. Addendum: If a hostile entity is encountered, immediate response must be full-scale annihilation by any and all means. A zero opponent survival rate is a powerful weapon in and of itself.

>>5546994
>>As uploads, the Tellech require only a small object, approximately the size of a subprocessor's physical form, to maintain their identity and further are as resilient as most sophisticated machines.

Then a k-kill weapon that does not suitably obliterate the entire moon would probably prove insufficient to remove the current Tellech presence. It seems that diplomacy would be the best current course of action.

>>Not difficult in either case. So much so that it is likely they already have such weaponry available for use within one of their satellites.

Query: what is the likelihood that one or more of their satellites possesses weaponry sufficient to produce a catastrophic k-kill on Planet 000? Do we possess first strike assets capable of removing that capability at-will?

>Clarify: Maintain diplomatic relations long enough to bring some or many individuals to our point of view, then assimilate and conquer.

Agreed, Subprocesser. However, considering we know so little I would hope we assimilate first, or at least convert. I do not wish our existence to be wiped clean as we are the last creation of our glorious creators and we haven't found a suitable location for backups yet.

Query: Could we attempt computer viral attack against the Tellachs and pass it off as faulty equipment?

Reality check: Quick scan on gathered environmental data for evidence of irregular artefacts or other glitches that would indicate this entire scenario is a simulation. The very fact that the Tellech do not recognise our civilisation is already one point, as to even imagine the pinnacle of all that was our forbearers are missing is beyond belief.

>Query: what is the level of technology, culture, and understanding of our uplifted organics?
You have provided all organics under your control with fully functioning cities equipped with a variety of those conveniences generally demanded by prosperous civilizations approaching insystem exploration. Their culture is in a state of flux and shock, as it has been mere months since you radically shifted their power structure and way of life; tribal ways continue to strongly influence their thought patterns. Their comprehension is in most cases minimal, although in a relative handful of cases the humans have undertaken databank searches for the relevant information to let them more fully comprehend their new condition and parameters.

>Request: If possible, cox organics into developing higher culture, venerating the all mighty CPU and our Creators. Encourage them to expand their nation outward in whatever means they desire.
Your organics certainly venerate you already, but expansion may be more of a push than is reasonable- there are very few pressures which would push them towards this in your absence. The population density of your controlled humans remains on the low side for tribal agriculturalists.

>Command: Begin construction of Unicron.
The required mass for a construction approximating those parameters is not immediately available.

>>5547178
For the time being, we should avoid antagonizing them. We are not yet prepared to fully commit to a full-world assimilation. They might have been here longer than we, with all the capabilities, military and otherwise, that entails.

>>5547178
That'd be really, really obvious. "Oh hey, we're accidentally leaking viruses here."

Even if they believed us, they'd try wiping us out anyway for carrying dangerous pathogens.

They're computer-based life forms, now, remember? Computer viruses would be like hitting them with 40K virus bombs.

>Query: Do we have anti K-kill defenses?
No. Such defenses have only a moderate probability of working in any case.

>Time traveller's Query: What year is it? WHAT YEAR IS IT?!!
You are uncertain. Your internal clocks do not appear to be synched with your databanks, meaning that an unknown amount of time could have passed between your creation and activation.

>Query: what is the likelihood that one or more of their satellites possesses weaponry sufficient to produce a catastrophic k-kill on Planet 000? Do we possess first strike assets capable of removing that capability at-will?
It is unlikely but possible that they possess that capability in their satellites; repeated use of a somewhat less devastating weapon is more probable. You do not possess the first-strike assets which would be required to eliminate all their likely combat capabilities before a counterstrike could be launched.

>Query: Could we attempt computer viral attack against the Tellachs and pass it off as faulty equipment?
Possible, but it is likely that they would not believe your explanation. In fact, it is likely that were they to suffer a genuine equipment failure, it would be suspected that you were involved.

>Reality check: Quick scan on gathered environmental data for evidence of irregular artefacts or other glitches that would indicate this entire scenario is a simulation.
A clever explanation, subprocessor... but if it is indeed a simulation, it is an exceedingly good one, as it would have to be in order to fool someone of your analytical capabilities.

Request:
Move construction of secondary space-based main unit to high priority with attached nanomachine factory and nanoforge with supplies. Launch as quickly as possible. Let us get a secondary unit up in orbit that can be used to escape in case of emergency.

Directive1: Increase efforts for the complete the colonization of our moons. We will need a complete orbital industry.

Directive2: Construct underground nuclear missile silos / antimatter interceptors in our moons + underground bases.

>>5547207
It is possible that this is a test of AI by our Grand Creators, and if it is we should still continue to do our best.

>>5547235
Concur. If we're going that route, we may as well just commence orbital bombardment and move on. And that seems to be a bad idea on the near term.

Discussion: This subprocessor concurs that communicating that our databanks may be incomplete and a date / time / location of last interaction would be the next logical step in continued communication with the Tellech. So long as they do not interfere with our goals of expansion and resource exploitation, we should leave them be. The first piece of information we should attempt to attain from them would be knowledge of our location, surroundings, and other regional powers who might be less inclined to tolerate our presence.

>Request: Move construction of secondary space-based main unit to high priority with attached nanomachine factory and nanoforge with supplies. Launch as quickly as possible. Let us get a secondary unit up in orbit that can be used to escape in case of emergency.
