    The label "harmless" is applied to a faction if the faction has never been noted to resort to faction-scale offensive action when faced with events short of perceived total destruction.

    Those systems should begins to move into a Dodecahedron formation, each construct acting as one of the faces of the shape, with System 000 at the center. The gravitational manipulation capabilities of this formation should be such that they can nullify the threat of fractional c kills. Additionally the lensing of the facilities should allow them to combine their DISPLEASURE beams.

    My friend subprocessor.

    We have 729 star systems, and we continue to expand at a rate of 1.1- our SOP means that each star system upon reaching 'self sufficien' levels, sends out another vessel to continue expanding.

    They fortify themselves continuously.

    The NEAREST species that could hold a candle to our might, the Yawren and Souo, each have less than 200 each, and are currently in a fight againts each other!

    They dont stand a chance.

    If you're really wishing to pick a bonewait until one species nearly devastate the other, make an armada, and smash the other one into dust, and simply make them join you as punishment for destroying the other.

    Win/win.

    Clarification: This refers to the plan to encase all planets under your control in Dyson spheres, and subsequently move them around in a randomized fashion to alter the gravity fields of your controlled space?

    >Queries: Have the Ti ever been faced with total destruction?
    Yes, according to your database.

    >Have they engaged in any conflict with other races and what has been the outcome?
    According to your database, they engaged in several significant conflicts. In small-scale actions, they are generally able to defend their own system effectively. In large-scale actions, the usual result was that the Ti fled to numerous other systems, typically convincing one or more other factions to shelter them.

    >In our database, has the mere supposition of impending attack (nearby fleet movements) been enough to mobilize a 'harmless' race?
    To mobilize, yes, but mobilization does not imply anything more than preparation for action.

    >Hrm.. this whole quest sucks.

    >Query: How many light-years distant is the nearest galaxy?

    see section on the use of lensing, frankly the emitter could be distributed all over the sphere, as the beams can still be bent and combined by, and let this subprocessor slip into simple vulgarity so that the impact of what we are doing is felt, MAKING SPACE OUR BITCH AND ABUSING LIKE A CHEAP WHORE IT TO SUIT OUR WHIMS.

    Ah, this processor was mistakenly under the impression that such manipulation was within our grasp. if this is not the case, proceed with detailed construction anyway, although distribute the DISPLEASURE emitters over the spheres. The gravitational warping caused by the configuration is still desirable.

    As gravitational control is a highly desirable technology, set the priority of its research to High, and devote a good amount of the Matroishka's power to it.

    Response received from the Tellech of systems 2112, 2346 regarding offer of Dyson swarm construction. All were accepted. Construction has begun in those systems many decades past and is likely nearing completion in some.

    Transmission data from probe observing the Gen indicates that the Yewren arrived in the system and landed massive numbers of troops on all inhabited planets and moons and boarded all space stations after exchanging significant amounts of energy weapon and missile fire with the Gen defenders. It appears that the Gen were slaughtered by the Yewren forces. Navigational data and a promise of security was provided to a few Gen who possessed interstellar ships; they are now fleeing to System 317.

When the probe was unable to give a satisfactory answer, they told it to depart or be destroyed. The probe returned to system 502.

    Transmission data from probe observing the Kumpre indicates that the Soou took the system.

    to my knowledge the only way to manipulate gravity in a "hard" way would be to somehow create small singularities at certain points to achieve the desired effects. Making a gravitational lense is no big deal, make a black hole in the correct spot, and light at a certain distance will bend around it. More complex manipulations will require comensurately more complex placement of multiple holes of various strengths. Given the nature of our being, computing power is not really an issue, it's creating the holes at will that is the problem. CPU's comments had lead me to believe we could do this, if not, there is plenty of Hard sci fi that says we can, given enough energy. Energy and Computing Power, we've got these in spades.

    WAIT- did the Souo suddenly jump from:
    -Soou (biologicals, expansionistic) at [~260-300 LY West, 191 systems] (26 settled)

    to 666 SYSTEMS settled?

    or did we just DISCOVER that they had that many>?

    HOLY shit.
    We may have to get involved before they become a threat!

    Problem is, it's meaningless. As the Stellar engine shit's math told us- providing enough thrust to move a star would take millenia .And if you BUILD a Dyson Sphere- it wouldnt be able to fuckin move.
    We're boned with this idea, short of...getting FTL and just space folding our star to wherever we wanna go.

    Building the sphere doesn't keep you from moving the star, you just move them both, but that's not really the point. The grav stuff isn't for motility, it's a weapon/tool. FTL is all that really matters in terms of mobility improvements.

    >Query: Will the EW ships have come up with a satisfactory method of hacking the Ourn by now?
    >The same query for the Yewren support AIs.
    Your disguised electronic warfare ships arrived and should have had a significant amount of time to monitor their targets by now, assuming that they were not identified and destroyed. Hacking them is a matter of questionable success, but you could give the order with reasonable expectation of some success. The Ourn are much more likely to be hacked successfully than the Yewren.

    >WAIT- did the Souo suddenly jump from:
    The lightspeed evidence of their having settled 666 systems arrived at System 000 within the last century.

    >Directive: Assimilate the inferior factions and avoid confrontation against the major factions not to be involved with our operations as far as possible.
    Confirmed.

    >Request Analysis: Calculate the chances of survival and success of the major factions.
    Defining "major factions" as all factions in excess of 20 systems, chances of survival approach certainty. Clarify "success".

    >Request: Study the development of a nanite device against the Ti.
    Clarify: What is this nanite device meant to do?

    >Query: Do we have sufficient data to engineer a slow-progression contagious virus to infect the Soou?
    You could attempt to engineer one, but only actual attempted infection will show if it functions correctly.

    I am rather proud that we have acted so logically given the circumstances.

    As a clarification: I was noting that our processing is usually precipitated by an obvious change in the external environment. (As opposed to fractal-planning certain things, or adopting a purely predatory outlook.)

    Yes. However, whatever was agreed upon could only be transmitted to your other systems- and their other systems- at light speed. ((As a gameplay point, I'm holding your view to System 000, because as a practical matter if you can control your copies in other systems you have FTL already. You can send a copy with something to say, though.))

    seriously, just encase the sun in multiple magnetic fields sufficient to counteract the gravitational pull on the sphere effectively rendering the star weightless and immobile inside the sphere mount on the outside of the sphere an expanded version of our current star drive system that we use on all our interstellar vessels large enough that the sphere can reach 0.9c

    Contact the Yewren and those resisting the Ourn-- offer Dyson spheres and defense against the Ourn, then memetic conditioning for them. (Conditioning to be accomplished through the shared battles against the Ourn foring an emotional tie, cultural exchanges, and any feasible hacking of media and neural infiltration of nanites.)

    Simultaneously hack the Ourn, use the hacked Ourn to demonstrate our promises the the Yewren group.

    We will engineer a trap for the Ti!
    They have been shown to retreat for the aid of other races-- we will set up the Tellech or another controlled race (perhaps a group of humans or Yewren) as the Ti's fallback of choice.
    We will then launce c-kinetics at the Ti disguising them as if originating from the Ourn.

    Directive: Perform the above after the Ourn have been hacked and captured.

    i do completely understand that, however, negotiations with the largest single faction in space (other than us) isn't something i want to leave up to timeskipped chance.

    nonetheless, if the rules will permit nothing else:

    Directive:
    Dispatch a full copy of the CPU and all attendant SPUs to the Soou, attended by a fleet rated to be as powerful as the average number of ships in a Soou solar system. Pick a system that balances ease of access, and potential important-ness. Full self-destruct, loyalty programs, the works.

    Anyway, Subject:
    The current expansionism of the Soou empire is resulting in the wholesale slaughter of undeserving species. This will stop. The Soou are to be offered the choice of an alliance with us, in which they shall have fair choice of uninhabited star systems, or War with us, until they are willing to abide by our terms.

    #Interact: I am pleased with subprocessor consensus in my absence, save for conclusions regarding the nature of the Ti. I posit this: That the Ti may be able to survive in vacuum, or at least have a high emphasis on use of EVA suits.

    It seems likely that a Ti may have, itself, dismantled the probe without being detected, as the lack of any need for lifesupport systems or radiation shielding in the short term would allow one to get within range without the probe enacting proper countermeasures. Furthermore I infer that the Ti are not hostile, merely inquisitive. As such any further ships we send to Ti inhabited systems must possess either overwhelming military force or the lowest grade of technology possible to avoid feeding their scavenger intelligences.

    Directive: Sequence Tshpath biological hereditary material, transmit back to system 000, and flash clone several Tshpath which will be raised in the absence of Tshpath memes to participate in the Research project.

    Directive: Offer to any Gen survivors who are willing the opportunity to participate in the research project.
    #Amend: Provided they have reached as sustainable a breeding population as possible in whatever machine controlled system they settle in.

    Directive: Produce double warfleet, double K-interceptor fleet in the machine controlled system recieving Gen refugees.
