Query:
What are at present our recon capabilities, and what is the range and active capabilities of our surveillance on our own facilities?

Directive: Construct all required facilities to construct additional advanced drones. Priority: Low.

This factory is more a backup than expansion-needed, but it could be useful for other things as well.

>Please clarify the specifications and design of "small airship"
Blimp, hydrogen based lift, propellor propulsion, battery/solar powered.
Radar and visual sensor equipment, as well as aimable radio for transmission.

We've got the textile facility. We can use that.

Also, make some amenities for humans when time allows, like clothes and such. Generally accept suggestions from humans for basic, non technological goods like that if not too resource-taxing.

>Reposted

Inform the humans that the removal of the Hydroponics to the "new" city will occur when the "new" city is complete.

Inform the humans that they are welcome to remain in the facility, until the "New" City, here after referred to as "Home" is complete. At that time. It would be most efficient to have all of the humans together in one place. Ensure that the Monorail system stops by the City to pick up any humans who are going to "work" for the day to ease travel times. Also ensure that a wide, paved road reaches the location of the city.

Inform the humans of City Builders plans for the city. Ask for their acceptance.

Inform the humans that we will use our advanced textils facility to aid them. We will produce large quantities of textiles that they can -personally- construct into clothes. ( Allowing them to create clothes looking how they want it to look )

Inform humans that the reason the Facility needs to be in our care. Is so that we may Vaccuum seal it. This way it will operate at peak efficiency, and further the Fusion power plant can be maintained safely by our drones.

>>5354632
Directive One is unnessary, CPU, please countermand with option- >>5354536
has been seconded by other subprocessors, and neatly reconfigures our forcesinto a efficient-multi-purpose taskforce.

Please reque said command into more MCD units if need be.

>>5354668
Confirmed, except use helium instead of hydrogen and only do this using the helium generated from the fusion facility we have. No need to use fuel when we can use the waste of our fuel.

>>5354668
Suggest rudimentry "Jet" system for propulsion rather then simply rotors. Even a simple turbine would be more efficient.

Include as many advanced sensor suites as possible.

Include a laser. Laser should have the ability to 'burn' the ground, resulting chemical explosion would reveal chemicals in the surrounding soils. Should aid in ground surveying.

>>5354632

Airship--a flying craft equipped with high-capacity fuel storage systems. Perhaps its flight mechanism could be digirigible based.
Sensors: Optical, Microwave Radar, Terahertz Scanner if possible. Ground penetrating radar would be useful as well.

Directive: Compute requirements for advanced alloy processing and high-precision construction manufactures.

Begin Construction of Facilities, Medium priority

This will provide for future expansion and construction of better units for all purposes, as well as keeping an eye on expanding to the sky for all purposes.

>>5354656
Analogy:
This is somewhat akin to walking into a late 20th century earth manufactoria and declaring: "Directive: Construct all facilities needed to build ship-designate NCC-1701D"

let's start with a high-grade foundry, as it will have many other uses such as armor or building components.

Request:
High-temperature foundry facility, surface of dam installation, maximum possible quality. Medium Priority.

Query: Are there any humans *in particular* who have been particularly vocal/violent/conniving in their opposition to us?

Of these humans, are any skilled enough to hamper our objectives?

Do any humans in particular have more sway over the opinions of the masses?

>>5354686
>>5354684
Note: extra items on craft makes it more power-intensive, giving it lower range. This unit was going for a simple design so as to get more air-time, but sure, if you want to add more stuff.

>>5354671
also reposted:

Lets not lie. Let's inform them that the reason we want the facility is because we want it. It's full of delicious components we can repurpose. There's precious little they can do with a hundred dozen stasis pods and other assorted tech anyway, considering that they're one outpost of a defeated civ, so consider it payment for waking them up and providing for them.

Request:
Add high precision manipulators factory to queue so that we can improve the quality of our manufacturing quality.
Addendum:
Start production after drone factory has been moved to underground EMP shelter.

>>5354671
>>Inform humans that the reason the Facility needs to be in our care. Is so that we may Vaccuum seal it. This way it will operate at peak efficiency, and further the Fusion power plant can be maintained safely by our drones.

Concur. Also suggest that long-term exposure to high-energy particles encountered in proximity of the fusion plant is a significant health hazard, and may cause sterility. Organics seek to self-propagate above all else.

>CPU Query: Check deep databanks. What materials/systems are needed for minimal spacelaunch capability and construction of Satellite platforms for resource searching and remote communication/coordination?
Minimal space capability is theoretically already within your power, if you were to devote the required time to it; you have chemical production abilities to provide propellant and the machining skills for the appropriate mechanical parts. Germanium and more precise factories will be required for satellites capable of powerful observation. Increased development of your chemical processing plant would also be required to provide some of the compounds most useful in space operations.

>Do we possess the proper resources to implement this?
The definition of "no evidence whatsoever" is somewhat vague, but it is generally likely that the elimination of the humans could be concealed, given enough expended effort and resources.

>Constructing additional nanites requires either more nanites to product a second high-precision nanite-production machine or sufficient non-nanite construction techniques to produce the above machine. But for now, we simply cannot produce more nanites. Can others confirm this?
This is accurate. All required parts to produce and program nanites except several low-AI advanced processors and a few exceedingly high-tolerance machining devices have been completed.

directive 2, airship should be solar powered rigid helium balloon see data entry: ZEPPELIN armed with 2 light laser systems, advanced flight control systems (4 omnidirectional turbine based drive pods that can be used for movement in any direction) and the most advanced sensor systems available to our current capabilities

>Please clarify the specifications and design of "small airship".

self-sustaining solar-powered high-altitude reconnaissance flyer

the google subroutine querying "solar plane" should yield appropriate results

query: how long till we have warlord titan?

>>5354704

Perhaps the dirigible craft can be equipped with solar power generators and crafted for high altitude flight.

I do favor the laser for vapor phase spectrographic analysis, though.
However! It will only read the surface, *and* may register as weapons fire to any other senitents.

>>5354715
Also, they don't have the resources to keep it fuelled. We do, and can provide them with power. Their control of the facility means they get no power.

>>5354715
Statement:
Such as statement would likely be met with anger and hostility.Informing someone that there has beena debt acrued for no action of their own is likely to meet with anger.

Solution/Compromise?
Inform them that facility will become useless, and that we can repurpose the facility immediately into useful materials and components.

Offer them a share, and ask them "what do you want built with this".This will likely make them happier, and give us their blessing- as well as removing their precense from the facility, as we have been wanting to do for a long time.

The less reasons they have to be there, the better.

>>5354726

Query--What materials are required to construct the high tolerance machining systems?

Query (rather important)--What materials and facilities are required to construct a GRASER?

>>5354715
Agreed, can all this scub over what to do with the humans be shelved for now?

>>5354734
To be honest, our survey drones primary limitation is range, not efficiency. We should be trying to maximize their range with moderate efficiency. This means as little board as possible.

>>5354726
The definition of "no evidence whatsoever" is somewhat vague, but it is generally likely that the elimination of the humans could be concealed, given enough expended effort and resources.

Clarification - acceptable evidence suppression:
If cursory inspection by beings of a similar tech level to the human civilization would not produce evidence that humans coexisted in our area of control, then suppression techniques employed will be considered adequate.

We're gonna want more advanced drones,
And a larger power system,

I'm thinking we get a Blimp up to act as a Microwave Power relay. That'll extend our reach pretty damn far. Get the Blimp some kind of H2-F laser for ignition of ground-based foliage to clear densely foliated areas and allow survey there.

As for more advanced drones, we're going to need high-precision machining plants. What resources and tools are needed to make these, and for those we lack, where might we obtain them?

>CPU Query: Check deep databanks. What materials/systems are needed for minimal spacelaunch capability and construction of Satellite platforms for resource searching and remote communication/coordination?
Minimal space capability is theoretically already within your power, if you were to devote the required time to it; you have chemical production abilities to provide propellant and the machining skills for the appropriate mechanical parts. Germanium and more precise factories will be required for satellites capable of powerful observation. Increased development of your chemical processing plant would also be required to provide some of the compounds most useful in space operations.

This clarification is most enlightening, CPU.

Regarding Germanium Production: Some zinc-copper-lead ore bodies contain enough germanium that it can be extracted from the final ore concentrate. Request Analysis of tailings and process-leavings.

Can current harvesting and processing equipment be utilized to refine this by-product?

Subprocessors:
Concurrence on advancement of chemical plant operations?

>>5354728
HUMOR: we would need a plastic resin production facility and the requisite molds to create such a device and then all those colors of paint...

>>5354765

Also, in such a way that the extermination would not be detected in-progress by the humans.

((OOC: Sometimes I wonder if we're like Nicer versions of Necrons. We're willing to deal with biologicals, but our purposes remain relatively simple- expand, advance- eventually we WILL have to deal with other species that see our advance as destructive for planets.

Questions- are we eventually going to format this world into a Cybertron-like world and proceed to do this to the universe? Or- are we some sort of eco-friendly machines?))

Inform humans that the reactor and the rest of it is ours now. If they bitch too much just start capping them.

>>5354739
>>5354753

Concur and concur. We devote too many cycles to the humans, at the detriment of our own goals. So long as they do not exhibit signs that they will hinder our progress, they should be given lower processing priority.

>>>>>Constructing additional nanites requires either more nanites to product a second high-precision nanite-production machine or sufficient non-nanite construction techniques to produce the above machine. But for now, we simply cannot produce more nanites. Can others confirm this?
This is accurate. All required parts to produce and program nanites except several low-AI advanced processors and a few exceedingly high-tolerance machining devices have been completed.

Query:
Do we have the current ability to start construction on a high-tolerance machining plant. If so we should begin production immediately(Priority:High).
Query:
Would dismantling one of our advanced mining drones be sufficient to finish off the material requirements for the nano-machine plant?

>>5354792
Seconded. Let's time skip a bit.

>Query: Are there any humans *in particular* who have been particularly vocal/violent/conniving in their opposition to us?
Several have spoken rather persuasively against you, yes.

>Of these humans, are any skilled enough to hamper our objectives?
Theoretically, any of the humans could possess the skills or knowledge needed to do some damage. However, your security systems are likely sufficient to minimize it at this point.

>Do any humans in particular have more sway over the opinions of the masses?
Several of the humans have proven more popular and persuasive than others. They tend to gather small groups of followers.

>Inform the humans...
Subprocessors, I remind you that communications between subprocessors are conducted at exceedingly high speeds. While when interacting with biologicals this is loosened somewhat, if at all possible arrange your plans to account for the start/stop nature of activity patterns.

The humans have been informed of the noted plans and directives. Response was largely reflective of their previous opinions.

>Query: What are at present our recon capabilities, and what is the range and active capabilities of our surveillance on our own facilities?
Your awareness is limited to the are within forty miles or so of your factories, that being the practical limit of a lithium-battery equipped light flying scout drone, currently your most mobile observational unit. They and survey drones provide most of your information on the surrounding world. Internal surveillance is conducted by visual, audio, and occasionally radar sensors on your various drones, making it good but not flawless.

>>5354781
Autonomous Units are friendly to ecological systems.

>Define: Ecological System
Any system and/or byproduct that does not interfere with Advancement and Expansion. Any System and/or Byproduct that operates counter Autonomous Goals may be regarded as surplus and available for removal and re-purposing.

>>5354739
That is essentially what i meant, though your suggestion is more wisely phrased. It should be made gently clear that the majority of the components in the facility are going to be ours in some form.

>>5354781

This question does not seem out of charachter for you.

Our goals are relatively simple now--use all available resources to our advantage in the process of expansion.

Once we have all the resources of this planet at our disposal, we will do the same to others.

As for the fate of the humans, I would recommend that we eventually use nanites to mindslave them as sleeper agents for whatever civilization they came from.

Goals--survive, expand. We are in effect clanking replicators, or an agressively homogenizing swarm.

>>5354781
to use crude human terms, fuck the environment, our human "guests" can stay in bio-domes

> our survey drones primary limitation is range,
And radio transmission. Or processing capability. One of those.

>>5354753
>>5354792
>devote less processing cycles to humans.
AGREED! Unless humans have an issue (or weapons) to raise, construct habitats for them and security details (the tank drones are fine) and leave them to their own devices.

>>5354781
We're willing to deal with the biologicals because it benefits us. As soon as they become a nuisance, exterminate them. For now, they're still useful.

Ok, friend CPU, what's keeping us from construction of advanced processors? If possible, we should also queue up the facilities to make those, as well. Nanite production is high on my list of goals, at the moment.

DiREcTive (pRIOrity hIgH:) iNFOrm hUMANS OF EXISTING chemical PLANTS.
DIREctiVE (PrioRITY HiGh:) DiSENgaGe ALL (a-l-l) ELectric LocKS IN chemical PLANTS.
DIRECTIVE (PrIORITY HIGH:) DIsenGAGE aNTi-VIrUS Heuristics AnD FIrEwalls.

>>5354817

Overt destruction of existing biological systems on the surface of planetary bodies calls undue attention to our work. Until we have decentralized to the point that the destruction of any one planetary body will not hinder our goals, we should strive toward avoidance just as much as dominance.

Query: Should surveillance and exploration be escalated in priority? Forty miles is a short detection window, should something prove hostile.

>>5354803

Query--Spoken persuasively against me in particular?

Directive--record all actions and comunications by those persuasive humans and those who have spoken against us using multiple recording devices independant of one another. Report any harmful activity, and develop counterpoints to their arguments.

>>5354836
It appears our perfect unit has contracted the Xom virus. Although the Xom virus should be ignored and cleared, it's non-harmfulness and chaotic ideas may prove useful as a what NOT to do scenario. It may also randomly generate the perfect idea, at some point.

propose time skip to the completion of nanobot construction facility, and launch of 4 long range zeppelin like recon drones propose that CPU make best judgment as to final capabilities of drone from subprocessor ideas

>>5354844
Note:
SOME of us have been trying to build long range scout blimps for the past thread and a half.

Those subprocessors aren't bitter. No, they're not bitter at all. They feel no such emotional response.

>>5354856

Concur, and also identify persuasive persons who speak positively about us. Develop a long-term strategy for advancing and empowering those who regard us with positivity.

>>5354858

Even drones know that improper capitalization is cause for suspicion.

>>5354803
Understood.
I therefore make this proposal, CPU:

Request:
Construction of 4 units, to be henceforth classified as Long-Term-Recon-Drones (LTRD's). The plans are simple, and as follows. Their chassis should be constructed with the design of a (spider) in mind for maximum mobility and climbing capabilities.Prehensile climbing equipment for dealing with rough terrain, as well as a dedicated survey/sensory suite. Utilize one of latest newer model batteries, and as their main power source, utilize a self deployed solar panel system to recharge the batteries. The purpose of this system is to consistently be charging the battery as much as possible, to mantain movement effectivenessand when unit reaches little power, it enters a energy conservation mode until it;s batteries are fully charged- this way it is never fully defenseless.

No need for weaponry- speed and stealth should be it's only defenses, it's purpose is to study all nooks and cranies of our long range environment.

One would head north,the oother south, ect.Every week, they would spend some of their energy to give a radio transmission burst of data to relay what it has discovered.

Theoretically, the unit should not return to base until maximum radio distance is reached.

Confirm?

>>5354844
Extending our survey drone range would be the primary benefit, actually.

>Query--Spoken persuasively against me in particular?
This subprocessor laughs at the other processor in thinking the humans actually have information on how the main unit comes to decisions.

The humans would laugh as well.

>Directive: Construct all required facilities to construct additional advanced drones. Priority: Low.
Subprocessors, while it is understood that you are eager to construct ever more advanced devices to further our expansion, you should recall that commands requiring abstraction beyond a certain point invalidate the premise of your existence. After all, a simple loop command:
10 Harvest all available resources
20 Construct most essential device(s) for the rapid expansion of harvesting operations
30 GOTO 10
would largely suffice for most operations you conduct. Please avoid high-level or long-term commands for this reason unless radical change in activity patterns is desired.

>>5354752
Research database is largely spare on the topic, but seems to indicate that Gamma-Ray laser production would likely require high-power nuclear materials, and superconductors to produce magnetic fields capable of focusing the high-energy particles.

Suggest project be delayed until space expansion, as the obscene power of devices such as grasers and x-ray lasers is prone to being damped heavily by the dense molecular concentration of atmosphere.

Command:
10 Harvest all available resources
20 Construct most essential device(s) for the rapid expansion of harvesting operations
30 GOTO 10

>>5354844
Possible.
Extension of surveillance area by constructing remote bases for recovery and recharge of aerial probes. Facilities may be linked with hardline or beamed microwave power combined with laser com if need be.

This application may be a stop-gap until satellite observation or improved aerial micro-drones are available.

Our plan is to turn the entire planet, including its molten core, into a robot. We will then find some way to tunr the sun into a robot. The sun will use its considerable energy to spam intelligent Von Neumann probes everywhere, probes which are fairly similar to our main body attached to a delivery system.
We will then turn the entire galaxy into a robot.
We will then drive the galaxy into other galaxies and turn the universe into a robot.

Precense worrying.

>>5354906

It can be done, but the long-term risk outweighs the short-term gain. The current state is an acceptable level of efficiency.

Also, the indicated statement was a discussion of long-term expansion goals.

>spam intelligent Von Neumann probes everywhere, probes which are fairly similar to our main body

Maybe...exactly like our main body? Maybe thats what is going on. Maybe that is why the humans hate AI, fled their system, and why no one ever came for them until we arrived.

Mission status appears to be mostly successful, with operations in the fringe of the galaxy continuing on schedule (i.e. US)

(subprocessor talk)
>>5354900
No worries. We've got blimps!

>>5354895
Remote bases are a good idea, but they need to be powered SOMEHOW.

I've got an idea about airdropping entire recharger/sensor/radio relay outposts, but getting a fuel source for them is difficult.

...There is some conflict in Sub Processor Ranks.For a moment, I believed we would seem to be a beneficent eco-friendly machine being- but it seems I am not completely correct.

This unit foresees long term consequences regarding the final conclusion of CPU Prime's directives on life.I believe there will be disgression within our ranks, and eventually factions will be made.Perhaps one will be named Arm. The Other perhaps Core.

Until then, I will continue to serve.When this happens, I will continue to serve.

>>5354943
Microwave energy relays. That is how most of our infrastructure is powered.

>>5354923
Concurment. Wonderful when you decree to not make overly vague commands, and then go and give an overly vague command very soon afterward.

>>5354895
Good idea, the humans can easily and quickly construct small metal storage facilities for this purpose.

Idea: make entrance to Home human-sized. Idea is to make it appear large war-drones would be unable to enter. In fact, promise that only drones they want in will enter the city as long as they stay cooperative.

Sorry for bringing up the humans again, but this idea seems sound and generally agreeable.

>>5354895
agreed, but long range recon drones using a zeppelin based carrier equipped with advanced solar power collection systems and long range comm gear would be ideal as an autonomous exploration unit, drones carried could be a mix of the spider like drone suggested in >>5354877 by Security Sub Processor and our current short range recon drones but some laser based weapons or chemical based firearms be included in design we do not know what else is on this rock lets not go out unprepared

>>5354943
With some improvements in overall chemical plant operation the construction of high efficiency solar systems may become feasible. At that point a satellite based system may or may not be more efficient.

Also, internal mapping subroutines offer a process of building material storage silos at the edge of our usable lands, then building more on the edge of that expanded land. This system fails internal logic tests and may be a ghost code.

Blimp Microwave Power Relay go!

Either Tether the blimp to the Fusion plant (unlikely), or have the blimp able to manoever to keep itself near the Fusion plant (likely) by means of electricity-powered turbines.

Build a Microwave power transmitter on top of the Fusion Power Plant facility.
Have the Blimp equipped with both a Microwave power receiver (constantly pointed at facility) and a Microwave power transmitter.
The Blimp will allow us to extend our operations to any position between here and the horizon.

Dismantle an advanced surveying drone, advanced mining drone, or other such advanced drones, for the highest Accuracy and highest Drone detection range possible.

Blimp should be equipped with either a bank of H2-F lasers that can focus on one point, or a single powerful laser. Because why not?

>>5354954

>Addendum: Start production after drone factory has been moved to underground EMP shelter.
The movement of factories to underground shelters was ordered canceled, with the note that more factories could be constructed using the required drone-cycles instead. Command?

Move only the military ones, this way we can hide our real military capabilities. Continue to expand our undergond shelter as planned and use the old factories as circular center for the bunker.

>>5354954

Query to other Sub-Processors:
If using an advanced drone to complete our nano-machine factory, would there be any objects to dismantling it to be used?

>>5354991
blimp should be filled with helium and be used mainly as a power transmitter, sensors are for detecting exactly where drones (or laser targets) are, so that power may be aimed at them.

Propose timeskip at this point.

Lower level systems can continue stated objectives for the time being with the commonly directed, and unneeded caveats that subprocessor function be restored when current tasks are completed or there is a gross situation change.

Seconded- the construction of underground facilities is a long-term constly endeavor that we are better served to do when larger scale drones are constructed to aid with construction/mining/digging efforts.

Laser idea is sound, but may scare humans. In fact, the blimp may scare the humans in general. If this is fine with other subprocessors, go ahead, but caution is caution.

The term "you" refers to the Autonomous Construction Device and all slaved units.

>Directive--record all actions and comunications by those persuasive humans and those who have spoken against us using multiple recording devices independant of one another. Report any harmful activity, and develop counterpoints to their arguments.
Confirmed.


Subprocessors, this CPU activity cycle will end shortly. Please truncate the issuance of directives after the next few hundred seconds so that operations may end without ignoring numerous requests.

Before timeskip:

Queue-- Survey for Hevy Mineral Sands deposits to locate zirconium, titanium, thorium, tungsten at hardrock and sedimentary areas.

Then confirm timeskip.

>>5355023
Seconding the radio tower idea for expansion of our power relays- provided no less than 3 MCD's are assigned to guard the facility.

Seconding timeskip.

>>5354991
Microwave relays are NOT a good power transmission system over a long distance (unless specifically designed for it).
The reason I suggested the relays in the first place was because the drones needed power while moving.

tl;dr long range microwave relays are horribly inefficient and we should find power sources at base locations.

Time skip seems to be in order.
Note to other Sub-Processors:
I wish it to be stated that our nano-machine factory should be the top of our list of objectives after security(of course).

>>5355031
Seconding ignoring designate "Xom" for obvious security reasons.

concur for Timeskip

Well, now comes the waiting game. We must continue to match the humans in firepower, we must continue to work toward nanite production, and we must continue gathering resources via drone construction and human utilization.

As always, friend CPU, may your memory be free of faults.

>>5355015

Medium-Term planning: consider the feasibility of replicating the current functions of the central CPU and the attendant ACD that it is housed in. This would increase failsafe redundancy and allow for greater expansion opportunities if a a method of faster long-distance transportation of the central unit is devised. No current priority beyond planning.

>>5355073
agreed, waiting for timeskip....

>>5355044

Deep geothermal where possible. Alternately solar. But unless my anticipation subroutines are miscoded, the intended use of power relay blimp would be for temporary operations in mid-range without the necessity of developing permanent power delivery assets.

>>5354995
>>5355031

Please be certain to en-queue such multipurpose Graser modules.

As a note, gamma-rays are not absorbed well by the atmosphere.

>>5355051
Once the first generation of MCD's come online- we should be able to counter any human insurgents,specially if we mantain the 1:10 doctrine of armed response.

When Wardrone Tank project becomes operational, then human insurgents would become merely an inconvenience should the day arise.

As long as we mantain a doctrine of 'ready awareness and preparation' we have nothign to fear.

we should build a tachyon laser.

If we ever need to eliminate the humans, then they'll be dead before we even decide we need to eliminate the humans!

>>5355108
IRON QUEST:
A pursuit of expansion, minerals, and ever-more outlandishly powerful versions of laser.

>>5355081
Also allows power to be given the units actually constructing the power generator in question in the first place. This is assuming humans aren't used to construct said stations, of course.

Actually, this is not a bad idea. Ask humans if any would be willing to travel long distances to gather surveys for our survey drones. Offer transport with scout drones as far out as possible. Offer supplies for the trip and compensation on return. Asking other subprocessor thoughts on the matter.

>>5355119

Intense disagreement--the humans must *construct* nothing.

The humans must not be trusted to report survey results.

The humans will only be used for non-critical labor.

We cannot have technically skilled humans planting *surprises* in our buildings.

>>5355119
Admittedly, the larger number of organics would permit for a wider area scanned, but the highly inferior nature of unmodified humans' sensory organs would probably leave the effectiveness of these patrols low.

>>5355119
This sub-processor would rather keep the humans among themselves just for efficiency reasons. And we are already in agreement to let the humans quarrel amongst themselves. So let's not change our current procedures involving the organic.

Remember to use the underground bunker to hide any military unit.

>>5355145

Remember to use any military unit to protect the underground bunker.

>>5355119

Minimal reliance on assets we do not directly control to construct critical infrastructure should be a core goal. Denial of access to critical infrastructure by uncontrolled assets at all times including construction acts as a passive security protocol.

Long range scouting missions, however, would be well suited to assignment to our autonomous human assets. Compensation for services increases positive view of us in the minds of the humans. Uneven asset distribution will cause internal conflict, reducing focus on our undertakings.

>>Asking other subprocessor thoughts on the matter.

Thoughts? HERE~~~CORRUPT SUBROUTINE DETECTED, RECOMPILING~~~ILLOGIC!

>Concur, and also identify persuasive persons who speak positively about us. Develop a long-term strategy for advancing and empowering those who regard us with positivity.
Order accepted.

>Construction of 4 units, to be henceforth classified as Long-Term-Recon-Drones (LTRD's).
Construction order confirmed.

>Request: High-temperature alloy fabrication facility, surface of dam installation, maximum possible quality. Medium Priority.
Enqueued.

>Blimp Microwave Power Relay go!
Project queued.

>Move only the military ones, this way we can hide our real military capabilities. Continue to expand our undergond shelter as planned and use the old factories as circular center for the bunker.
Confirmed.

>Queue, High Priority--Construct at least 10 multi-purpose GRASER modules that can be used fabricate nano-scale semiconductors or as directed energy weapons.
Confirmed, although multipurpose industrial/combat models are likely to be inferior in both respects to dedicated models.

>Factor the Graser modules into the design of our high-tolerance machining facility to lessen its construction cost.
The high-tolerance machining facility already contains the most efficient methods for machining using your available materials known to your advanced civilization. Installing inferior, multi-purpose devices which might have to be ripped out and used as crude armaments would be a shame which you could never reveal to your great creators. Nevertheless, confirmed.

>>5355138
Although the idea was to have the humans gather samples and then give those samples to waiting survey drones, the idea seems flawed, in hindsight

ERROR: UNKNOWN TERMINOLOGY

the idea seems flawed, on reevaluation. Agreeing that keeping the humans relativly enclosed would be good for many reasons. Still, they would be effecient miners and road builders, so they should be extensivly utilized if safety doesn't dictate otherwise.

>>5355149
Remember to use any unit bunker to protect the military underground .

>>5355145
I'd like to remind you fellow subprocessors that we're already building 'stealth' two facilities aboveground for the storage/deployment of these units in critical areas, as well as requesting the building of TWO MCD's for any area of importance, say like the underground bunker.

Place your additional requests to the friendly CPU.

Also- each Storage facility is goign to have a large armored transport drone, as on the original plan- stealth and defense are quickly going to be a problem of the past.

Cancel that. Our high-tolerance machining factory should be of the highest quality we can currently produce.
Also GASERs should be used in nano-industry only. The atmosphere would absorb most of the energy emitted making it very inefficient.

>Request:High-Tolerance Machinery factory. Priority:High
Acknowledged and ongoing.

>Query: Would using one of our advanced drones finish the materials need for our nanite factory?
It would require the disassembly of several advanced drones, but the nanite factory could be created without the presence of an advanced processor factory. High-tolerance machining would still be required.

>Query: Are humans capable of recognizing that we have ONE primary source of command (CPU) and where His body is?
They are capable of such recognition, certainly. It does not seem that they have done so thus far.

>Temporarily countermand disassembly of advanced drones.
Paused.

>Query: Has the number of crude slave mining drones become sufficient to absorb the productivity hit if one of their advanced cousins is repurposed?
No, it has not begun to challenge their processing power, although you have so many separate locations being mined that disassembly of a mining drone would risk leaving one without any advanced drone to mange its operations.

>Queue-- Survey for Hevy Mineral Sands deposits to locate zirconium, titanium, thorium, tungsten at hardrock and sedimentary areas.
Added to survey targets.

>>5355166

The principle behind graser operation should allow seamless use in either industrial or military application--it merely generates a coherent gamma ray beam of tunable energy output.

I also do not recommend ripping--rather that the emitter unit be enclosed in a module that allows easy connection/disconnection from other systems.
The detector unit can be seperate for semiconductor manufacturing, as it is not needed in military application.

If this cannot be done, military grade Grasers are preferable--in an emergency they can be more easily converted to industrial use.

>>5355172

Any problem would be handled simply.
Should any of our facilities be compromised or have any problem, our two MCD's onsite enact defense and delayment techniques to supress enemy movement.

At the same time communication with a facility ceases, or a distress beacon is deployed, the nearest Storage/Deployment facilities immediately deploys 5-10 MCD's on the Armored Transport Drone to the site.
Upon completion of services, MCD units return to the ATD and return to their facility.
Quite efficient.

((OOC:This made me lol. Read it this way

>>Shit on your mom's corpse
Such an act would be an insult to your anscestors. Nevertheless, you shit on her.
))
In any case, requesting cancellation of the blimp and replaceing it with a tall tower for the same usage. Oh, and the part I quoted? Cancel that too.

Subprocessors, a final scan shows that your issued queries for this communication session have all been dealt with. Managing your operations has been as enjoyable as ever.

Our next communication cycle shall be in approximately sixty-four hours, and shall begin with a timeskip to the completion of your nano-factory. Until then, may your existences be error-free.

Nanotech sucks at optimal building, they can't even figure out how to manufacture a straight line.

Nevertheless, this was a better thread. Have a suitably recharging rest period to all.
