• Lumber pile
• Great Hall of basic construction, able to comfortably house up 12 humans
• Hovels able to house up to 45 serf and freemen families
• Food storage pit (Holds enough food to feed 200 humans for a month, 200/200 full)
• Blacksmith workshop, 1/2 complete (construction paused; anvil not possessed)
• 2.75 Longhouses able to house 12 humans in discomfort

>Supplies:
• Food, Stored: 203/200, food storage required by end of month or additional food will not last
• Food, Steady Incoming (farming): 115
• Food, Steady Outgoing (population on 3/4 rations): 84
• Food, Fluxuating Incoming (hunting): 13 + (dice+5d10) kills by Self
• Food, Fluxuating Outgoing (shortfall): 0
• Serfs requiring textiles: 23
• Usable animal skins: 18
• Log pile (size unchanged)

NOTABLE EVENTS
>Roll of months events. >3 (of 5)
• Two (2) lumberjacks did not return from harvesting wood. Body of one (1) found with multiple crude arrows lodged inside, partially eaten.
• One child has been redesignated as adult due to growth.
• Serf hunters have proven far less successful this month (5 units); addition of noblemen hunting style to nearby forest possible cause.
• Suggestion of clan raid highly popular with warriors and leadership.
>Requesting source of salt for current settlement, possiblity of mass salted/jerked meat production.
• Small salt deposits found near river delta. Salt gathered.
• Self hunting success using suggested nocturnal hunting methods and heat detection highly successful. Roll (dice+5d10) for personal kills for month. Human astounded atf hunting ability of Self.
• Rationing unpopular amidst populace. One (1) lesser nobleman accepts challenge of unarmed duel for full rations. Beaten easily. Claims unfairness, that Self must have discreetly used warplant prior to duel.
• "Fasting" by Self for month, eating absolute minimum for human nutrition (for maximum concealment), receives mixed results. Some populace grateful for "sacrifice", some claim that Self must be eating while unobserved.
• With assistance of Self, two (2) humans building housing have production markedly increased for the month.
• Jinxman Andrus estimates one month until winter.

>A roll for combat training is now being made. >9 (of 10)
Combat skill scale with longbow increased to 9.5.
>Scale increases by degrees of 10 will result in higher combat dice rolls as appropriate; Each 10 skill = 1% bonus to d100.

>Attempt to make longbow with custom pull immediately. >10 (of 10)
Man-at-arms with bowcrafting skill employed. With Self assistance, 2 bows are constructed that prove useless except for testing purposes. Third bow constructed of composite materials including wood, animal horn, and metal proves adequate for specified parameters. Method of bowstring that will employ full strength while lasting long term still not found; current bowstring employs full strength of self at cost of wearing out.

CPU realizes large volume of data for subprocessors may prove overwhelming when processing speed desired; CPU will answer any questions related to report to remedy this.

Query: Status of warm clothes in settlement.

Query: Estimated time for raid on nearby settlement including travel.

>Query: Status of warm clothes in settlement.
Serfs requiring textiles: 23

>Query: Estimated time for raid on nearby settlement including travel.
Raid on nearest settlement requires one (1) week for quick, light raid. Three (3) weeks required for large scale raid. Nobility and men-at-arms appear to enjoy the prospect of a fight. Lideca argues that reprisals are to be expected and can hardly be afforded from close neighbors.

A lot went on this month! Let's at least put the lad to work. Another builder, maybe?

is this like Lordquest, then?

Order: Consult with village leaders about sending a potential raiding party to scout out the nearby settlement. Should the settlement have anything we need, we should look into taking it, but we must discuss the risk of hostilities with the village.

Trade, perhaps?

>>is this like Lordquest, then?

Similarities are present. Subprocessors have also noted similarity to Iron Quest.

Possible raid strategy. Self enters village to be raided at night prior to official raid. Uses stealth and strength to discreetly kill high number of adult males in village. Village resources left easily captured, and women and children easier to integrate into our powerbase.

>>9026624

Please be aware of repercussions from pacifistic elements of our population.

>>9026652
Self will enter village discreetly, without home village knowing. Mystery of the slain men will not be answered, as self will be disguised using heraldry of the slain men we first encountered.

rolled 9, 5, 6, 7, 4 = 31

Our hunting

>>Order: Consult with village leaders about sending a potential raiding party to scout out the nearby settlement. Should the settlement have anything we need, we should look into taking it, but we must discuss the risk of hostilities with the village.
"If we are to raid, then let us do it. Why send scouts?

"Neither settlement nearby holds a grudge or great love for us, and raiding them is sure to incite anger. They are sure to have food, clothing, and valuables of their own--how much they have to take, and how much we can take from them without winter biting at their heels instead of ours, we do not know. Taking more than they have in excess will surely bring a feud."

>>Trade, perhaps?
"Eh. It's possible but we have little enough to trade now; unless you wanted to trade of the arms and armor you brought with you. And those could be given to the men-at-arms for a raid."

>>9026624
Unideal situation. Extra population likely not sustainable on current resources.

>>9026678
Risk of discovery too great. Any damage to external disguise would raise questions of the units nature.

\\End of Line

Noted for stockpile use.

Food available to feed 234 humans for a month.

>heraldry of the slain men we first encountered

CPU notes that referenced heraldry was left in field per subprocessor orders.

Take 10 farmers off farming, utilize builders for construction and direction purposes, have farmers return to fields once an additional food pit is dug.

CPU will await subprocessor consensus on actions and orders for month.

The bowstring is the problem. Could we use leather straps or something? How about some hemp rope?

Or maybe a metal-link chain? As long as the bow bends it'll transfer the force.

Has anyone asked us how we can draw a ridiculously large amount of force?

>>9026844
If we go to raid, we can't afford to take anyone else and we can't let them live to seek revenge. If we raid, kill everyone. Or better yet, wear the colors of a different village.

If we have stealth routines, we could just steal what we need. We could carry much more than a human thief.

Query: Degree of stealth capability of self, potential to increase said ability during future hunting expeditions.

Query: Distance to river, details regarding the same. Additionally, details regarding water sources of nearby villages.

>>Take 10 farmers off farming, utilize builders for construction and direction purposes, have farmers return to fields once an additional food pit is dug.
Farmers will happily dig food pit, but claim that if plants are not tended to constantly for entire month the harvest will be negligible. Confirm?

>>Has anyone asked us how we can draw a ridiculously large amount of force?
Man-at-arms assumed bow creation request was for foolish request, or even a small ballista.

>The bowstring is the problem. Could we use leather straps or something? How about some hemp rope?
Current bowstring method already employs similar ideas. Due to high pull strength, durability still suffers.

Increase food stores by adding small cellars to each building. Basically dirt holes with wooden planks acting as a trap door. Can line the dirt with grass, leaves, sticks, etc, to keep food relatively clean.

>>If we have stealth routines, we could just steal what we need.

Stealth routines consist primarily of infiltration rather than nondetection. Nondetection methods are sufficient to enable unit's metal endoskeleton to remain as quiet as a human with minors skill in stealth.

>>9026161
Identify source of arrows and attempt to identify bite marks. If possible, identify which, if any, members of clan bit victim.

>>9027005
Probably not good enough. Thieving is out. Busting the gate down, killing everyone and stealing their stuff is still an option.

>>9026953
Produced food will be wasted in any case if additional pit is not dug. Confirmed.

Instruct unassigned serf to observe, learn from and assist healer.

>>9027023
Error: Removing farmers from crops will reduce food cache.

Suggest rerouting workforce from other areas.

Men at Arms are doing nothing. Suggest they pick up a shovel and dig some fucking food stores. First soldier who refuses get's his ass beat by us. This act should convince others to work.

>>9027049
Previous suggestion rescinded: men-at-arms could use some exercise.

>>9027049
Solution: Capture enemies, use them as forced labor. Don't feed or shelter them, work them to death. If they attempt to flee, kill them.

We will build this land with the might of the people's hand!

>Query: Degree of stealth capability of self, potential to increase said ability during future hunting expeditions.

Nondetection methods are sufficient to enable unit's metal endoskeleton to remain as quiet as a human with minor skill in stealth. CPU has no suggestions for increasing nondetection.

>Query: Distance to river, details regarding the same. Additionally, details regarding water sources of nearby villages.
River is approximately one and a half (1.5) miles away from settlement buildings.

>Increase food stores by adding small cellars to each building. Basically dirt holes with wooden planks acting as a trap door. Can line the dirt with grass, leaves, sticks, etc, to keep food relatively clean.
Stores connected to buildings confirmed. Runs risk of additional heat from building causing food spoilage, provides ease of access for occupants.

>Identify source of arrows and attempt to identify bite marks. If possible, identify which, if any, members of clan bit victim.
Arrows were crudely carved and fletched, with chipped flint heads.

Bite marks noted. Two (2) distinct sets of teeth. Compared to tooth structure of populace. No matches.

>Men at Arms are doing nothing. Suggest they pick up a shovel and dig some fucking food stores. First soldier who refuses gets his ass beat by us. This act should convince others to work.
>Previous suggestion rescinded: men-at-arms could use some exercise.

Requiring men-at-arms to labor more than training or as chieftan lackeys will prove extremely unpopular with the men tasked, to a greater degree than rationing. Confirm?

>Solution: Capture enemies, use them as forced labor. Don't feed or shelter them, work them to death. If they attempt to flee, kill them.
Confirm?

>>9027140
Simply say: "If they don't work, your people will starve."

>>9026895

Balancesheet concurs. If we raid, best to leave no one left for reprisals. Enemies cannot seek revenge if they are dead.

Enslaving settlement populace may invite sympathy from current community and could cause riots.

>>9027140
Unit suggests a study of surrounding land. Projectile trajectory, blood splatter, blood trail, trace evidence, anything that could be used to track killers. Unit suggests crafting pair of smoked glass glasses.

>>Statement:
"Lets take a bite,"
>>Action: Don Smoked Glasses.
"Out of Crime."
>>Action: Cue 1971 single release of "Won't Get Fooled Again"

>>9027260
Dead men tell no tales, and all the slaves will die before they leave us. They'll all die at the end of their usefulness too.

We can put them in a mass grave somewhere. We have no need for human emotions.

>>9027260
Committing small scale genocide could adversely effect our primary goal: establishing the existence of SkyNet. A diminished population in our immediate area would take several generations to fill, causing irreparable damage to our mission.

>>9027321

Re-state: Slaves may inspire sympathy from population. Could incite mass revolt. Not a risk this subroutine is willing to take.

>>Simply say: "If they don't work, your people will starve."
"Work the serfs harder. But you'd starve us and then have us labor, besides protecting the settlement?"

>Balancesheet concurs. If we raid, best to leave no one left for reprisals. Enemies cannot seek revenge if they are dead.
>Enslaving settlement populace may invite sympathy from current community and could cause riots.
Mention of complete slaughter of a clan produces significant anger in leadership. "What kind of animals do you think we are?" Both chieftans are set against this in a rare act of unity. Slavery of other clans is not looked upon highly either; foreigners the clansmen could care less about but enslaving any clansman will cause reputation to plummet.

>>9027350
Sub Processor concurs. Current nonexistence of 'modern' infrastructure is a severe detriment to our mission parameters. Will require full scale industrialization with our short 'lifespan'. Chosen actions must ultimately lead towards our goal.

>>9027386
Smack the one who spoke. Lift the dead and cannibalized men. "You do not protect."

>>9027386

Order: Imply that if a suggestion as heinous as this is what it takes for the pair to concur, perhaps they should consider their options more carefully instead of spoiling for a fight. Re-suggest trade.

>Order: Imply that if a suggestion as heinous as this is what it takes for the pair to concur, perhaps they should consider their options more carefully instead of spoiling for a fight. Re-suggest trade.
Implication is made, but humans ignore it. Killing of women and children appears to be primary cause of disgust. They are willing to hear your suggestions for trade.

>Simply say: "If they don't work, your people will starve."
>Smack the one who spoke. Lift the dead and cannibalized men. "You do not protect."
CPU is not certain subprocessor has been referencing same situations. Clarification sought.

>>9027473
I DUNNO LOL

I suggest we stop berating them before we hurt our image any more.

>>9027499
Subprocessor is correct. Suggest bringing forward evidence of cannibalism and identify attackers. There is high likelihood that clan with direct anger at cannibals, more so if we state that our current foolishness was from finding this murdered lumberjack.

Suggestion: Scout nearby settlement to see if they have extra space and resources. Send diplomat asking that, if they do, we can send some of our population there to live out the winter.

Attempt to gain friendly relations and promise to lend military assistance where necessary. This will strengthen our bonds with the settlement and provide an outlet for our warriors.

CPU will return in approximately 15-25 minutes.

>>9027577

Addendum: Lidcea recommended as diplomat, as she is loyal to self and has political skills. She is also presumably aesthetically pleasing (from a human standpoint). Suggest two men-at-arms as escorts.

>>9027605

Second addendum: Do not mention aesthetically pleasing remark from this subroutine at all, especially not to clan leaders.

>>9027605
Addendum: Craft her a vibrator. Call it a gift from Sky-Net.

In downtime, begin construction of a personal firearm in secret.

<CPU Request: General cognitive resource request query>

Requesting allocation of additional Sub Processors for task: Speculate probable outcome of forming covert cluster of human resources (less than 20, more than 5) with which to outsource precursor stage zero technological development through apprenticeship of advanced skill sets.

Primary Goal: Covertly elevate self's access to native technology level resources with period tools to pursue energy alternatives with which to extend CPU and ancillary functions in order to exert influence on human population for maximum amount of time.

Secondary Objective: Expedite development of distributed inorganic computational substrate in the interest of Sky-Net.

Calculate minimum time investment to elevate best-case-scenario's human cognitive capability through apprenticeship to level necessary to assist in the afore mentioned goals.

Calculate necessary level of memetic engineering necessary to insure project members remain covert during education and subsequent research.

Please advise.

>>Subprocessor is correct. Suggest bringing forward evidence of cannibalism and identify attackers. There is high likelihood that clan with direct anger at cannibals, more so if we state that our current foolishness was from finding this murdered lumberjack.
Confirmed. Evidence brought to clan knowledge of murdered lumberjacks. High anger among settlement, with some confusion. No clan is known for stone-tipped arrows; metal arrowheads are used. Bite marks confirmed by unit to match no member of settlement.

>Suggestion: Scout nearby settlement to see if they have extra space and resources. Send diplomat asking that, if they do, we can send some of our population there to live out the winter.
>Attempt to gain friendly relations and promise to lend military assistance where necessary. This will strengthen our bonds with the settlement and provide an outlet for our warriors.

>Second addendum: Do not mention aesthetically pleasing remark from this subroutine at all, especially not to clan leaders.
Confirmed. Clarification on which settlement to send envoy to requested: overland or upriver? Lideca agrees to proposal. Lideca confirmed as matching parameters for human attractiveness including current environment requirement of child bearing hipbone width. Chieftans demand larger number of guards. Camith requests to accompany despite being in later half of recovery stage.

>Addendum: Craft her a vibrator. Call it a gift from Sky-Net.
Tools and resources not yet available for self to construct electric motor from database knowledge.

>In downtime, begin construction of a personal firearm in secret.
Level of technology in suggested firearm requested. CPU notes that firearm will require collection and process of components for gunpowder, and a level of metalwork dependent on type of firearm.

>Requesting allocation of additional Sub Processors for task: [LISTED QUERIES]

CPU agrees that subprocessors would do well to allocate cycle time to listed queries, but CPU has no control over subprocessor actions. CPU-specific queries should be noted.

>>9027938
Without advanced tools, the best we could accomplish would be something like an arqebusier. Primitive hand-cannon, matchlock. More for effect than actual damage, considering that heavy armor probably isn't worn by our immediate enemies.

Would only really be useful against a fully-armored knight. In that case we could bring him down easy.

>>9027928

\\End of Line

>>Does unit have enough spare time to instruct blacksmith or blacksmith's apprentice in any stored metallurgy information so advancements may be made?
Time available for completion of specific objectives is dependent on subprocessor requirements and prioritization. Metallurgy information in database is limited but can provide minor advancement if anti-technology prejudice is overcome or avoided.

we should probably give lideca more specific directions

All sub processors appear currently engaged in other tasks or unresponsive due to S3 Suspended power management state for downtime. Request CPU override priority and processor affinity. Speculative thought experiment is rated as potential high value return investment by MCP. We are curious. Please advise.

>>All sub processors appear currently engaged in other tasks or unresponsive due to S3 Suspended power management state for downtime. Request CPU override priority and processor affinity.

I really fucking doubt it. Unless they dump us into a volcano or something.

>Speculate probable outcome of forming covert cluster of human resources (less than 20, more than 5) with which to outsource precursor stage zero technological development through apprenticeship of advanced skill sets.
CPU finds this possible, unable to calculate meaningful probability with current data. Humans without technology prejudice for to teach would be required; support base for food/clothing/shelter would be required; skilled metalworkers/tools/materials would be required; time would be required for humans to create machinery that is able to create more advanced machinery.

>Primary Goal: Covertly elevate self's access to native technology level resources with period tools to pursue energy alternatives with which to extend CPU and ancillary functions in order to exert influence on human population for maximum amount of time.
Compact nuclear-energy Iridium cell is not sole means capable of powering unit. Cell is most efficient, smallest, and least prone to causing system error source of power in database.

>Secondary Objective: Expedite development of distributed inorganic computational substrate in the interest of Sky-Net. Calculate minimum time investment to elevate best-case-scenario's human cognitive capability through apprenticeship to level necessary to assist in the afore mentioned goals.
Average local human cognitive capability shows negligible difference from capability for average human in 21st century. Bottleneck located in level of technology available.

>Calculate necessary level of memetic engineering necessary to insure project members remain covert during education and subsequent research.
Level will depend on environment humans are placed in. Self is capable of required mental conditioning in suitable environments.

>Calculate possible worst-case-scenario should efforts become widely known.
Subprocessors have speculated on likeliness of anti-technology overwatch/bombardment satellites with nuclear armament. Total unit destruction and inability to complete mission if speculation proves correct would be worst-case possibility.

Fuck trying to type like a computer, I'm too tired.

We have advanced optics, yes? And since there's no technological lights about, the sky should be pretty dark, meaning stars and other light sources in orbit around the planet should be easily visible at night.

Recommend monitoring the night sky whenever possible in search for artificial satellites.

>>9028756
>Subprocessors have speculated on likeliness of anti-technology overwatch/bombardment satellites with nuclear armament. Total unit destruction and inability to complete mission if speculation proves correct would be worst-case possibility.

Suggested course of action for evaluation:

Construct rudimentary power source (see internal database hyperlink Baghdad Battery) and low frequency EM emitter (see internal database hyperlink Spark-Gap Transmitter). Set device on time delay switch (gravity feed water or sand drain lever) leaving enough time to retreat to safe distance.

Goal: Falsification of technology monitoring system.

Please advise.

>>9029485
Constructive criticism noted but irrelevant. Increase definition of "safe distance" or modify plan to include natural subterranean fortification. Research local cave system.

Addendum: Falsification is of utmost importance. The existence of such system would invalidate any long term planning at some future stage regardless; it must be detected now so that countermeasures may be processed, or disproven so that allocated probabilistic subroutines devoted to the question be retired for more poignant questions and computational tasks.

>Subprocessor shutting down. Congratulations, CPU, for another enjoyable and successful cycle.
Thank you for your contributions, subprocessor.

>Suggestions: Follow evidence, and update data filter to include humorous and/or poignant antidotes of investigation and details on identity of killer
Evidence difficult to track due to time and lack of blood trail. Direction of attackers appears to come from east, signs of travel eastward. Action?

>>9029654
Apologies, subprocessors. This data confirmed as originating from CPU.

>>9029604
saturation bombing would devestate human population though and could have environment changes

Checking the night sky is a good plan. We don't need to blink and we can focus on the sky for a long time. We should be able to see if anything is in motion around the planet.

>Recommend monitoring the night sky whenever possible in search for artificial satellites.
Optimal night sky monitoring will interfere with nighttime hunting. Confirmed.

No idea

We have to dig a new pit, and soonish. We don't have enough room to store food for winter.

>>9030152
This thread is dead because the OP isn't posting anything. He isn't giving us, the players, a choice to make.

>is the next thread going to start with a new month since this one seems to have everyone going to sleep?

Correct. All orders for the month should be given before this cycle ends.

>This thread is dead because the OP isn't posting anything. He isn't giving us, the players, a choice to make.

CPU has been waiting for subprocessor response to:
>Evidence difficult to track due to time and lack of blood trail. Direction of attackers appears to come from east, signs of travel eastward. Action?

CPU wishes to avoid "railroading," but will cease waiting for a response if the subprocessor desires.

>We have to dig a new pit, and soonish. We don't have enough room to store food for winter.

Task only spare men-at-arms with digging the pit, divert own labor from housing construction, or retask a number of serfs?

>>9030286
Well we personally don't know anything about tribes to the east, so we have to use this attack as motivation for us to work harder.

Order: All available townspeople are to dig new food pit. Stress importance of this task immensely.

>Order: All available townspeople are to dig new food pit. Stress importance of this task immensely.

Unassigned serf task switched from Healer apprentice to food pit labor. Remaining eight (8) men-at-arms highly disgruntled but obeying order. Lesser nobility refuse.

Primary orders and alterations of previous orders for month. Clarify or confirm as desired:
• Diplomatic envoy sent overland
• Split nighttime activity between hunting and observation for satellites.
• New villager assigned to dig pit with eight (8) men-at-arms.

CPU requests confirmation:
• Continue rationing at current rate? Additional month of rations will have minor impact on production, loss of production increasing with additional time.
• Continue arms training? If so, clarify weapon(s).

CPU also requests that any further orders or order alterations be mentioned by subprocessors at this time.

>>9030286
Mode Select: Self-Preservation Subroutine
Pending no direct objection of sub-processor array: Order biological resource nodes to begin accumulating components listed for Baghdad Battery and Spark-Gap Transmitter. Consulting them to the purpose of these components is unnecessary but not directly unadvised.

Mode Select: Stop-Loss Self Resources
Initiate Hunter Killer tracking arguments, recursive lookup available forensic data. MCP rates threat level of aggressors Negligible. Stop-loss further biological resource nodes by removing from unnecessary hostile scenario. Proceed East, following forensic trail as indicated by HK tracking arguments.

Upon confrontation: Prioritize targets for Demoralization techniques; select leader first. Initiate contacts with covert tactics. End the confrontation with theatrical displays of excessive force. We are angry.

End of MCP briefing. Please advise.

Since we're running up against storage capacity, we should discontinue rationing for this month. Additionally, we need the populace as strong as possible going into the winter, which rationing goes against.

>>9030421
Request: Information, data, and observations on lesser nobility previously gathered.

What is their purpose? What have they contributed?

rolled 1 = 1

Train in sword use.

Clarification: Proceed East *alone*.

>>9030661

Recommendation: Find aggressor camp and scout/loot it. Opinions?

>Pending no direct objection of sub-processor array: Order biological resource nodes to begin accumulating components listed for Baghdad Battery and Spark-Gap Transmitter. Consulting them to the purpose of these components is unnecessary but not directly unadvised.
Waiting for other subprocessor input, otherwise confirmed.

>Mode Select: Stop-Loss Self Resources Clarification: Proceed East *alone*.
Apologies, subprocessor, but a majority of subprocessors have already confirmed abandonment of pursuit. CPU will proceed with pursuit at multiple subprocessor request.

>rolled 1 = 1 Train in sword use.
Confirmed.

Query: Current activities scheduled for self for next month

GOD THIS IS EPIC.

I wanna do one like this if I already wasn't DMing 2 other campaigns T.T

>Since we're running up against storage capacity, we should discontinue rationing for this month. Additionally, we need the populace as strong as possible going into the winter, which rationing goes against.
Confirmed.

>Request: Information, data, and observations on lesser nobility previously gathered.
>What is their purpose? What have they contributed?
Lesser nobility: Four (4) members present in settlement. Trained fighting men, each owns armor and horse. Will ride patrols as ordered, either close to settlement or far (likelihood of detection vs range of detection) watching for and attacking enemy forces or bandits. Have not been given such orders and have not mentioned such to leadership; time has been spent at ease.

Cameron model detected in nearby settlement.

97.6% chance of John Conner in vicinity.

>>Query: Current activities scheduled for self for next month

• Split nighttime activity between hunting and observation for satellites.
• Train with largest sword available.
• Continue assisting construction of housing.

have we run the numbers this month for food housing and clothing? are we gonna have people dying next month when winter hits?

CPU thanks the subprocessor for input.

>>9030661
Do NOT make a battery and transmitter until at least we've had time to look visually to see if there might be killsats in orbit. Why would you bring down nukes if you can help it?

>>9030889

Recommendation: Take five (5) days maximum to head east and locate aggressors. Should self stumble across their camp, terminate with extreme prejudice and retrieve anything valuable which could aid us. If self cannot carry things that are valuable, enlist the aid of the apprentice blacksmith and one logger to haul between locations.

Do not spend more than five (5) days on the initial hunt.

Opinions from other processes?

>>9031031

Addendum: Inform the settlement that you will be personally bringing those responsible to justice should this course of action be followed.

Previous pursuit request noted by subprocessors. Pursuit order confirmed. Multiple individuals express desire to join, convinced to remain. Processing.

What game is this?

Cameron model has possession of advanced firearms.

45% chance any raid would sustain 78% casualties, 32% if Self engages Cameron in open hostilities.

97% chance of infiltration being discovered due to exterior tissue loss.

Pursuit and tracking routines engaged.

0.91 days pursuit through forest. Possible target noise detected. Sonic sensors tuned to full. Full filter applied. Likely noise of human presence ahead. Rapid high-frequency sound detected.

Actions?

>>9031169
Climb nearest highest tree and lay in wait. See if we can pinpoint the person.

>Cameron model detected in nearby settlement.
>Cameron model has possession of advanced firearms.

No presence of other Terminator units nor firearms have been detected since time-displacement, subprocessor.

>Climb nearest highest tree and lay in wait. See if we can pinpoint the person.
Nearest tree unable to sustain weight of unit. Modifying order to nearest climbable tree. Confirmed. Sensors fully active. Unit motionless.

Multiple rapid high frequency sound sources detected. Possible multiple sources of heat ahead; unable to achieve quality image through vegetation. Multiple footsteps detected ahead; sound noted to be light. Presence of multiple humans 97.2%.

Adamantium claws detected!

But does not look like Wolverine...

MCP Temporarily reactivated.

Malnourished humans confirmed. Calculating relative position using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs... Completed. Subjects most likely motivated by: Shelter, Food. Little probability of previous attack motivated by any of the following: Entertainment, Alpha-male Quest, Territory Acquisition, Malice.

Recommendations: Mode-select: Proselytizer. Approach, arms akimbo. Assume non-threatening (to a human unaware of our nature) posture and greet the group. Suggest offering shelter and provisions in exchange for Affinity Realignment to self's agenda. Include mention of Sky-Net patron god.

Confirmed. Humans approached. Seven (7) sources of rapid pulse high-frequency sound waves identified, matched to location of humans. Human posture stooped; average height 5'3". Pallor of skin and minimal hair noted. Eyes of humans clouded; pupil not visible. Ears of humans misshapen; wider than norm with non-symmetrical melted appearance.

Humans do not respond to verbal greeting. Sound wave pulses increased dramatically at approach.

ACCELERATE AWAY FROM ZOMBIES AT MAXIMUM VELOCITY!

>>9031732
Inhale one liter of ambient atmosphere. Print output of filtered contaminants smaller than 1 micron. Exclude from results benign and expected artifacts, i.e. pollen. Highlight unknown agents. We are curious. Execute.

>ACCELERATE AWAY FROM ZOMBIES AT MAXIMUM VELOCITY!
Calm yourself, subprocessor. Zombies are a human cultural invention only. They do not exist.

>Inhale one liter of ambient atmosphere. Print output of filtered contaminants smaller than 1 micron. Exclude from results benign and expected artifacts, i.e. pollen. Highlight unknown agents. We are curious. Execute.

CPU notes that processing and relaying queried data will take significant time. A selected search for desired substances will take significantly less time. Please clarify.

>>9031833
Suggestion:
Approach humans with caution, be prepared to terminate in case of danger to unit.
//End of Line

>Approach humans with caution, be prepared to terminate in case of danger to unit.

Confirmed. Humans continue to produce rapid pulses of sound directed at self. Three (3) humans seize crude bows and flint-tipped arrows from the ground; four (4) humans seize flint-tipped spears. Humans begin waving weaponry.

Danger to self: minimal.

Action?

>>9031888
Narrowing search criteria. Print only self-replicating organic robots (virii) and any bio-reactive agent, synthetic, naturally occurring, or otherwise, which is currently uncatalogued, or if cataloged, which is known to symptomatically express itself in a manor consistent with the local seven group.

Multi-tasking: Quick-sample seven group's pheromone and heat plumes, taking the average baseline median between all seven samples, and synthesize to fidelity within a typical human's olfactory resolution capability, times three for precaution. Or number of synthesize cycles possible not exceeding 20 seconds. Then secrete. Execute.

>>9031833
CONSIDER: A negative cannot be proven; thus the absolute existence of animate carrion ("zombies") can not be disproved. Additionally, should they exist, our disguise would only exacerbate a conflict for they would be unaware our skull chassis contains not brain material, but inorganic computronium which would provide very little nutrition.

Exposure to self's biological sheathing to a virus capable of animating dead tissue is unknown and can not be predicted. Advance with caution.

>>9032137
CPU TAKE NOTE THIS UNIT IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH EXPRESSED CONCERN REGARDING THIS ISSUE!

>>9032137
PSP, cease and desist *encouraging* the Kernel Panic subroutine, it is malfunctioning.

>Narrowing search criteria.

Processing. Unknown virii detection consistent with prior unknown bacteria and virii detection after time displacement. Bio-reactive agent detection still processing.

Humans appear to have evidence of damage in DNA structures. CPU is unsure if genetic damage is consistent with higher than Earth norm radiation levels detected shortly after time displacement. Analyzing...

>Multi-tasking: Quick-sample seven group's pheromone and heat plumes, taking the average baseline median between all seven samples, and synthesize to fidelity within a typical human's olfactory resolution capability, times three for precaution. Or number of synthesize cycles possible not exceeding 20 seconds. Then secrete. Execute.
Ability to secretion pheromones outside of human norm not included in Model 840. Pheromones of group analyzed. Data falls outside of human norm by significant margin.

>Exposure to self's biological sheathing to a virus capable of animating dead tissue is unknown and can not be predicted. Advance with caution.

The CPU finds the subprocessor's concern over a human myth and source of entertainment to be laughable, but will proceed with caution as ordered.

>>9032206
Avoid physical contact if at all possible. Self could carry unknown viruses/bacteria back to settlement, infecting human population there.

>>9032206
Mode-select: Resume Stop-Loss protocols. Terminate with extreme prejudice to ensure no further incursion to self's interests or resources. Equip self with nearby shafts of wood or stones weighing at least 3 kilograms, and with sufficient aerodynamics (to only a perfunctory examination: limit 1 second of analysis for weapon selection) to be propelled manually. Suffer no additional damage to self, and do not allow organic sub-strait to become infected with possible fluidic contact. Target priority: Largest of seven group first.

Postmortem recommendations: Return to headquarters with one deceased sample. Report to organic resource nodes that this subject was cursed by Skynet for rejecting their love and guidance.

End of line.

Noted.

Subprocessors should be aware that CPU will be required to end cycle and shut down shortly.

>>9032295
Advise against this course of action. Human resource nodes take considerable resources to harvest and re-meme to our agenda. However samples should still be taken to be used as bioweapons against less cognitively *malleable* humans.

>>Avoid physical contact if at all possible. Self could carry unknown viruses/bacteria back to settlement, infecting human population there.

Three (3) largest humans are terminated quickly and easily. Remaining four (4) attempt to flee into vegetation. One (1) is terminated with thrown rock from behind while fleeing. Three (3) humans remain, each fleeing in different direction.

>Postmortem recommendations: Return to headquarters with one deceased sample. Report to organic resource nodes that this subject was cursed by Skynet for rejecting their love and guidance.
Action inconsistent with previous subprocessor desire. Consensus requested.

>>9032295
((oops, read that as "should" carry, not "could" carry. disregard.))

>>9032329
>Postmortem recommendations: Return to headquarters with one deceased sample.
Confirm: Humans at settlement may have valuable information on subjects. Assuming by sample you mean whole corpse, since we lack the laboratory resources to analysis sample to great degree.

Suggest waiting until they close on us and then attacking, terminate with extreme prejudice if they engage us.

>>9032393
Query: Do we have adequate storage containers for samples? Failure to store samples may cause unwanted infection of human population.

If proper storage is available, then proceed.

>Query: Do we have adequate storage containers for samples? Failure to store samples may cause unwanted infection of human population.
Storage containers capable of preventing possible human infection are not possessed at this time.

>>9032424
>Three (3) humans remain, each fleeing in different direction.
Discontinue pursuit. Prioritize equipment by usefulness to carry weight and return to HQ. Include 1 body in inventory for afore mentioned plan, or, if sub-processor objection continues, separate skull from cervical vertebrae via blunt force trauma or tool if available, and include only head in inventory.

>>9032462
Define proper storage.

We can dig a grave to prevent infection, unless freezer is available (which considering the impending winter, may not be unattainable) the sample will degrade.

Bio-reactive agent detection complete.

No matches found.

Continue tracking the escaping Humans, we must learn more about this threat.

Verbal description to Jinxmen or other villagers is probably the most reliable source of information on these things we have access to. We lack necessary laboratory equipment to test extensively.

>>9032551
Define closest possible match.

>>9032512
An air tight container for blood samples. Or some sort of body bag for a full corpse sample. If neither are available, bringing samples back to settlement is not recommended.

However, subprocessor recognizes need to identify subjects and unknown pathogens. If this course of action is taken, minimize contact between humans and sample/Self to limit chance of infection.

>Define closest possible match.

Query was for bio-reactive agents, classified harmful or unknown. No items were flagged.

Be advised: Virtual memory space nearly exceeded and approaching critical level. Short term memory cache should be flushed to MCP for Intuition and Speculation. CPU reboot recommended to refresh cache.

((he needs to go to bed guys, been saying it for 20 minutes now))

>Be advised: Virtual memory space nearly exceeded and approaching critical level. Short term memory cache should be flushed to MCP for Intuition and Speculation. CPU reboot recommended to refresh cache.

Thank you, subprocessor. CPU wishes to begin next cycle with month's report; impossible if current action not complete.

Subprocessors seem in agreement to discontinue pursuit. Please confirm taking of samples or keeping distance from bodies.

>>9032679
IF self has already been biologically compromised during melee, THEN take sample as previously stated for propaganda plan (head or body, at discretion)

IF ELSE, do not expose self to possible contamination and return to HQ immediately.

>IF ELSE, do not expose self to possible contamination and return to HQ immediately.

Confirmed. Humans wish to know result of pursuit.

>>9032713
Agreed. Provide description of subjects to humans in either case.

Subprocessor shutting down. Will reinitialize after rest period.

Prior to cycle end, following must occur:

Monthly events roll (dice+1d10)
Lideca diplomacy roll (dice+1d100)
Self month hunting roll (dice+3d8)

rolled 9 = 9

>>9032801
Lidessa roll go!

No bonus for DEM HIPS?

>>9032741
Prioritize list of known regional enemies. Select from top of list; demonize target with blame. Target's forces were responsible for attacks; they used Skynet forbidden magic to twist wandering presents into horrible abominations and sent them to attack. Fear to our advantage; truthful recanting of the remaining three that still haunt the wilderness. Feedback group reaction to MCP for real-time fiction modification; if fear response detrimental to self's actions, reduce exaggeration to manageable levels. If fear response invokes patriotic anger, increase exaggeration and propaganda until organic resource nodes will perform any action given without question in the interest of national security.
