This subprocessor hopes that this gift of an image will be appreciated. Even if it is not an exact depiction of our past actions, this subprocessor feels it will be more useful for propaganda purposes in this fashion.

Can't believe I got here for the start of one of these.

What directions is the detonation site on that map?

>>9448527
Awesome

>Oh come on...don't start a thread now...its 1AM and I need sleep.
Apologies for the timing, subprocessor. This cycle's length is estimated to be 04:30:00 hours:minutes:seconds.

>This subprocessor hopes that this gift of an image will be appreciated. Even if it is not an exact depiction of our past actions, this subprocessor feels it will be more useful for propaganda purposes in this fashion.
CPU finds image to be of superb quality. Added to database. Situational subprocessor decision activated.
>CHOOSE ONE
>• 1 Autocrit (d100=100), used before roll instead of rolling

DUDE. I WANNA RENDER BOOBS. USE THE OCULAR IMPLANTS FOR BOOOOBBIIIEEESSS.

>>9448586
I'd say three rerolls or autocrit.

>What directions is the detonation site on that map?
Detonation site is to magnetic west (other side of river from settlement).

>Awesome
CPU agrees.

>DUDE. I WANNA RENDER BOOBS. USE THE OCULAR IMPLANTS FOR BOOOOBBIIIEEESSS.
Ocular implants are unable to be used in this manner, subprocessor.

>>9448608
3 rerolls sound good to me.

>I'd say three rerolls or autocrit.
>3 rerolls sound good to me.

CPU will wait for at least one (1) additional subprocessor confirmation prior to confirming this choice.

Given likelihood of extended interaction with humans and abnormal mission parameters, this Subprocessor intends to provide suggestions based on a self-revising framework of observed human behavior and cognition.

>>9448527
That's just fantastic.

>>9448586
Torn between the autocrit and the three rerolls. Leaning a bit towards the the autocrit though. Also, I see you're taking a bit of inspiration from Lord Quest?

>Also, I see you're taking a bit of inspiration from Lord Quest?
Affirmative. An efficient CPU uses superior examples of a given process to boost its own performance.

Autocrit: 0.5+0.5=1 vote
3 rerolls: 0.5+0.5+1=2 votes

Check up on Lideca and ask around what happened while we were away.

Whats further away from the settlement, the river or the copper deposit?

Concur on use of 3 re-rolls.

I should probably gather all my questions for and the submit.
Anyway. Is there a bridge across the river or is it shallow enough to wade through?
Cutting down some trees and building a bridge could improve access to the other side of the river and if built sturdy enough could provide acess even during the times of increased waterlevels and thelikes.

>Check up on Lideca and ask around what happened while we were away.
"I was unable to make any progress with healing Lideca this month," Jinxman Andrus reports. "She eats rarely, speaks even more rarely. She has been spotted several times curled in a ball and rocking herself in a corner, while whispering 'Bad girl. Bad girl. Bad girl.' to herself for lengthy periods of time. I believe several times this month she was looking for you, and was fearful when she could not locate you--she did not listen to our explanations. I am trying to do what I can... I hope this month I can be more successful."

Subprocessor 88 active and operational...
Subprocessor 88 assessing possibilities and CPU suggestions.
3 rerolls advised due to greater use in longer term.

Subprocessor 88 suggests CPU use psyops and interrogation data provided in database to increase effectiveness against Pre-Judgment Day Resistance Cells to restore Human Asset Lideca to optimal health.

>Whats further away from the settlement, the river or the copper deposit?
The copper deposit.

>Concur on use of 3 re-rolls.
Confirmed.

>Anyway. Is there a bridge across the river or is it shallow enough to wade through?
There are two locations shallow enough to wade through. These are used by the loggers when bringing lumber to the settlement.

>Cutting down some trees and building a bridge could improve access to the other side of the river and if built sturdy enough could provide access even during the times of increased waterlevels and the likes.
That is correct. Access to the sea from upriver would be cut off unless the bridge was designed to prevent this from being a problem (i.e. drawbridge, swivel bridge, high level bridge). Do you wish to do this?

>>9449050
>I believe several times this month she was looking for you, and was fearful when she could not locate you--she did not listen to our explanations.
Recommend appending current objectives list immediately (priority high) with [[Visit Lideca, console, comfort]].

>>9449127
Subprocessor Humanity is encouraged to keep emotional displays to a minimum. While Subprocessor Humanity usefulness in Infiltration of Human Society is undoubtable, we must remain efficient.

>Subprocessor 88 suggests CPU use psyops and interrogation data provided in database to increase effectiveness against Pre-Judgment Day Resistance Cells to restore Human Asset Lideca to optimal health.
D300.S has attempted to use psychological knowledge to heal mental trauma of human Lideca; attempts will prove unsuccessful until jinxman-caused damage is removed.

>>9449117
Lets meet with our builders to come up with a bridge design both efficient and capable of letting current technolog level ships and floats pass through it. Leave the construction up to the builders as our time could probably be spent otherwise more efficiently such as meeting Lideca right now and later some other way probably.

>>9449159
Acknowledged. CPU should not underestimate potential of Human mind to recover from trauma with emotional support from trusted figures. Such phenomenon has often proven less then fortuitous to SkyNet units.

>>9449063
Get out of here neo nazi scum!!

>Recommend appending current objectives list immediately (priority high) with [[Visit Lideca, console, comfort]].
>Subprocessor Humanity is encouraged to keep emotional displays to a minimum. While Subprocessor Humanity usefulness in Infiltration of Human Society is undoubtable, we must remain efficient.
Action will not be taken until subprocessor consensus is reached.

Use our advanced robot hands to create blueprints for a small scale swivel style bridge over the river.

>>9449148
Subprocessor cannot provide adequate refutation of argument but is compelled to stay with the stated suggestion.
>>9449159
Argument: If unit has been specifically referred to by subject Lideca, then the unit is in a unique position to expedite subject's recovery.

>Lets meet with our builders to come up with a bridge design both efficient and capable of letting current technology level ships and floats pass through it. Leave the construction up to the builders as our time could probably be spent otherwise more efficiently such as meeting Lideca right now and later some other way probably.
>Use our advanced robot hands to create blueprints for a small scale swivel style bridge over the river.

Human builders prefer design of swivel bridge. Design would prove suboptimal for high-weight traffic, but would allow settlement to deny enemy easy river crossing as desired, and permit river traffic access to ocean. Design would prove easier to build than drawbridge and less material intensive than high-level bridge.

Queue construction?

>>9449208
Subprocessor 88 was remarking upon the image associated with Subprocessor Humanity suggestion.
Subprocessor 88 otherwise agrees that restoration of Human Asset Lideca to optimum parameters of functionality is in agreement to long term goals.

>>9449206
... Subprocessor 88 is bemused by association with Human Extremist Political Groups. Subprocessor 88 would request the logical explanation to such association.

>>9449314
In Austria and Germany the 88 is often asociated with Neonazis because H is the 8th letter of the alphabet and thus neonazis use(d) 88 as a shortversion of Heil Hitler, the iconic nazi salute.

>>9449304
Define Heavy Weight traffic.

>>9449304
Construction approved by Subprocessor. More efficient designs can be commissioned as additional resources become available, both in manpower and construction materials.

>>9449304
Construction approved, although a clearer definition of high-weight traffic would be preferable.

>>9449364
Subprocessor 88 would remark that in this case, 88 simply refers to the DOB (Date Of Birth) of the Human whose personality was imprinted in Subprocessor to facilitate advisory role in long term Infiltration.

>Acknowledged. CPU should not underestimate potential of Human mind to recover from trauma with emotional support from trusted figures. Such phenomenon has often proven less then fortuitous to SkyNet units.
>Argument: If unit has been specifically referred to by subject Lideca, then the unit is in a unique position to expedite subject's recovery.

CPU acknowledges statements, and notes that attempts to use psychological healing met with resounding failure. Minor increase in current healing rate may result, but probability is high that jinxman-induced mental trauma will keep recovery rate slow.

Jinxman Andrus previously stated that the jinxman responsible for the damage would best be able to heal it.

>our time could probably be spent otherwise more efficiently such as meeting Lideca right now
>Subprocessor cannot provide adequate refutation of argument but is compelled to stay with the stated suggestion.
>Subprocessor 88 otherwise agrees that restoration of Human Asset Lideca to optimum parameters of functionality is in agreement to long term goals.
Lideca currently in Great Hall. Current activity: curled up in sitting position, staring into fire. "I'm sorry, sir," a mutilated man-at-arms reports, "she's been like that for hours."

>>9449418
Possibility of sending scouting forces to locate jinxman responsible should therefore be evaluated. Lack of the political support of Human Asset Lideca could otherwise weaken position amongst Human Leadership in the long term.

Additionally, Subprocessor remarks that food stores are dwindling.

>Define Heavy Weight traffic.
Bridge will be unlikely to support over 2000 lbs of weight with current design. Animal-drawn vehicles with loads of stone or metal would be unadvised to use bridge.

>Construction approved by Subprocessor
>Construction approved
Confirmed. Swivel design bridge queued, construction will progress as supplies become available.

Draw up blueprints for swivel bridge.

Then try to speed human asset Lideca's recovery.

>>9449418
Acquisition of Jynxman in question can be attained through interrogation of captured hostiles from the previous raid. In the meantime, suggested action, sit beside Lideca and await response, if any.

>Possibility of sending scouting forces to locate jinxman responsible should therefore be evaluated.
Current combat-ready forces include self, three (3) men-at-arms, four (4) lesser noblemen, High chieftan Mac Bair Muir, Chieftan Durgard, Rowab, Jinxman Andrus, Camith. Some forces recommended to remain at settlement for defense; departure of chieftans for extensive time not recommended. Send search party? If affirmative, please note selected forces.

>Lack of the political support of Human Asset Lideca could otherwise weaken position amongst Human Leadership in the long term.
CPU confirms this assertion.

>>9449482
>food stores are dwindling.

Thats because during the winter our income is severly reduced by beeing unable to harvest our crops.

Unless local problem have gone unnoticed by me I recommend a scouting missions upriver to find possible uses of the river as a transportation device or as a source of power if a waterweel were to be constructed.

>>9449519
Negative. If acquisition of jinxman can be obtained through interrogation of captives, Unit should undertake interrogation. Database will supply method and means of extracting to optimum efficiency the data required. Energy reserves, though still abundant, should not be wasted with idleness.*data corruption* Heresy grows from idleness...

>Then try to speed human asset Lideca's recovery.
>In the meantime, suggested action, sit beside Lideca and await response, if any.
Two (2) hours have passed without response. Continue?

>Acquisition of Jynxman in question can be attained through interrogation of captured hostiles from the previous raid.
Captured hostiles from raid: zero (0). Humans not killed or forced to flee were several humans designated "responsible;" all but one (1) were tortured until death.

>>9449649
Suggest taking converts with Unit on tracking mission. Those with tracking experience, of course. Unit recommended asset to be used in mission, as tracking protocols will prove far more efficient then normal human techniques.

>>9449649
Attempt to address her vocally, with cadence calibrated to emphasize gentleness and reassurance.

Query: Did the enemy chieftain's son number amongst those tortured to death?

>Unless local problem have gone unnoticed by me I recommend a scouting missions upriver to find possible uses of the river as a transportation device or as a source of power if a waterweel were to be constructed.

River can be used to float barges or other water transportation downstream to ocean. Waterwheel would have consistent supply of power if built at current location, as river has been stated to rarely overflow.

>>9449705
Subprocessor suggests temporary override of Subprocessor Humanity. Current actions are leading us nowhere. We must act decisively to maintain trust in our ability to lead. Tracking the jinxman is a useful action to be made at the moment.

>>9449730
Are the potato like plants treated like the potatoes from earth or are they just similar in appearence?

Since neither the building asset nor any other of the lists includes a mill or even a quern construction one, especially one powered by a water wheel could greatly improve food quality as milled plants are usually of higher quality than unprocessed goods.

>>9449749
Subprocessor would like to remind others that as it stands, neither a description of target Jynxman nor a cognomen has been acquired. Tracking target can be made feasible through either interrogation of remaining captive or through consolation of Lideca.

>>9449789
Potato bread would feed more than simple potatoes.

>>9449789
>>9449606
>>9449364
And other contributions confirmed to be from this subprocessor.

>>9449789
Endorsing this suggestion.

>>9449807
Exactly

>Attempt to address her vocally, with cadence calibrated to emphasize gentleness and reassurance.
Breathing rate of Lideca has increased. Tear formation in progress.

>Query: Did the enemy chieftain's son number amongst those tortured to death?
Affirmative. Humans who witnessed Mac Bair perform the torture were visibly shaken when recalling event and refused to give details when questioned on the methods.

>Suggest taking converts with Unit on tracking mission. Those with tracking experience, of course. Unit recommended asset to be used in mission, as tracking protocols will prove far more efficient then normal human techniques.
Confirm? Converts include several men-at-arms who are unsuitable for tracking duties after enemy clan mutilation of right foot. Take combat-ready converts and Rowab? CPU also notes that enemy jinxman has been untracked for two (2) months after attack and may have integrated into different clan population.

Ask leading politicians the feasibility of asserting dominance over other clans by successfully challenging rival chieftains?

>>9449845
Attempt to gently place a hand on Lideca's shoulder. Gauge response.

>CPU also notes that enemy jinxman has been untracked for two (2) months after attack and may have integrated into different clan population.
This confirms the need for an accurate description of target, acquired from either Lideca or former clanmate. CPU mentioned one captive who did not die during torture. Querying current location?

>Are the potato like plants treated like the potatoes from earth or are they just similar in appearance?
Plants are treated like Earth potatoes.

>Since neither the building asset nor any other of the lists includes a mill or even a quern construction one, especially one powered by a water wheel could greatly improve food quality as milled plants are usually of higher quality than unprocessed goods.
Move mill+quern building to top of construction queue, above bridge? Higher nutrition of serfs would allow greater labor production for same food output (serf strengthening from increased diet), or higher food output at current labor value (less food required to maintain current output).

Implement water wheel into design (greater output; will require longer construction, additional materials)?

Subprocessors are reminded of the likelihood of orbital observation/bombardment satellites when planning industrialization. CPU finds probability of waterwheel triggering bombardment to be low, but in conjunction with high amounts of other development may prove a factor.

>>9449985
Construction que:

Manual / Animal powered Quern
Bridge
Waterweel
Upgrade Quern to be powered by waterweel.

>Ask leading politicians the feasibility of asserting dominance over other clans by successfully challenging rival chieftains?
"The clans rarely allow leadership to be determined by force of arms, and never by an outsider. As the High chieftan, I legally command all their loyalties, but with our current position of weakness my authority is diminished. Were I holding my former number of soldiers and we to be facing invasion from an outside source, I could rally almost all of them. As we are... you saw how quickly a grudge turned into open hostility."

>>9449985
>Move mill+quern building to top of construction queue, above bridge?
Confirmed.

>Implement water wheel into design (greater output; will require longer construction, additional materials)?
Confirmed; Automated milling frees laborers for other, more important tasks.

>Subprocessors are reminded of the likelihood of orbital observation/bombardment satellites when planning industrialization. CPU finds probability of waterwheel triggering bombardment to be low, but in conjunction with high amounts of other development may prove a factor.
Noted.

>>9450057
Self is highly formidable. What if self went to nearby clans demanding that they swear fealty to high chief. Failure to do so would result in formal challenge with self acting as emissary for high chief. Self would soundly defeat opposition.

>Attempt to gently place a hand on Lideca's shoulder. Gauge response.
Lideca freezes at the touch. "I'm sorry, sir, she's not always like that. She's never quite the same, but it's rarely anything good," the man-at-arms states.

>This confirms the need for an accurate description of target, acquired from either Lideca or former clanmate. CPU mentioned one captive who did not die during torture. Querying current location?
Last captive was killed outright, without torture. The clansmen detest the idea of slavery of another clansman, and during winter a single extra mouth to feed is too much. Numerous members of the enemy settlement survived, however; some may have returned to the site.

>Manual / Animal powered Quern
>Bridge
>Waterwheel
>Upgrade Quern to be powered by waterwheel.
Modifying an existing structure will take longer than incorporating the waterwheel into the design. However, this will shorten immediate construction time for quern to be built. Confirmed?

>>9450155
>Modifying an existing structure will take longer than incorporating the waterwheel into the design. However, this will shorten immediate construction time for quern to be built. Confirmed?
Design quern for later expansion into a waterwheel powered device?

>>9450155
>>9450155
waterwheel/millstone at the same time

Quern moved to top of construction queue.

Consensus on waterwheel incorporation required.

Time required with waterwheel incorporation: 3 months
Time required without waterwheel incorporation: 1 month
Time required to modify waterwheel into existing building: 3 months.

All times less if laborers and available materials increased.

>>9450155
Sugesstion to improve quern later on was made to gradually make meatbags comfortable with having technology around rather then rushing them with a somewhat automatic quern. Reduced construction times can probably be overlooked especially if after the construction of the waterweels more pressing uses of its power become obvious.

>>9450218
Are those numbers for modifing including the increased labor capacities provided by the high quality food produced by the quern?

>Are those numbers for modifying including the increased labor capacities provided by the high quality food produced by the quern?
Affirmative. Modifying an existing building often takes longer than constructing a new one; it is almost certain to be so in this instance.

>>9450155
Lack of success so far marked as acknowledged and...disappointing. This Subprocessor suggests returning to the original site of hostile clan, in the interest of procuring a description of target jinxman through interrogation and picking up possible trial.

Do them both at the same time.

>>9450290
Nevertheless approval is given by this Subprocessor for the reasons stated at >>9450219

>Lack of success so far marked as acknowledged and...disappointing. This Subprocessor suggests returning to the original site of hostile clan, in the interest of procuring a description of target jinxman through interrogation and picking up possible trial.
Confirmed by previous subprocessor request. Please specify accompanying forces.

>Do them both at the same time.
Does the subprocessor mean the bridge and the quern? Construction times for both will increase.

>Nevertheless approval is given by this Subprocessor for the reasons stated at >>9450219
Single confirmation needed by subprocessors for waterwheel to be incorporated at later date.

>Self is highly formidable. What if self went to nearby clans demanding that they swear fealty to high chief. Failure to do so would result in formal challenge with self acting as emissary for high chief. Self would soundly defeat opposition.
"More than likely, they'd treat you as a criminal, and fight you in an uneven match, rather than a duel. Some might swear fealty and then break their oaths. Others would see it as a slight against their honor. The ones it would be most likely to work with are the ones already most likely to be loyal."

>>9450298

Any requisitioned personnel should be cleared by Mac Bair, lest an intended slight be mistaken. Additionally, the defensibility of the village in self's absence must be considered.

In truth, this Subprocessor supposes that this can succeed as a solo operation. Benefits include moving quicker and more stealthily.

>"WHOSE ASS DO I HAVE TO BEAT TO GET SOME MORE POWER!?"
"The northern empire may call us barbaric, and while we have little comparative wealth we are civilized men. We long ago gave up rule by the strongest."

>Subprocessor support course of action. Additionally, was effort made to assert political dominance over said neighboring village after the raid or was settlement abandoned by its population?
Settlement was abandoned by population during raid; allied forces looted, and burned many buildings. Surviving population likely to have moved back in as able, relocated, or integrated with other clans.

>Waterwheel and quern at the same time.
Subprocessors seem split on issue. First side to get two (2) votes after this post will be confirmed.

>>9450577
Since other Subprocessors don't seem to agree on this subprocessors fear of the meatbags being dismissive of a waterwheel-powered quern this Subprocessor has decided to approve of a waterpowered quern from the beginning.

Both at the same time

>>9450577
Excellent. If native population has moved back in, they may provide additional information as to our prey. Subprocessor will leave selection of associates to more tactically inclined subprocessors.

Subprocessor will refrain from voting in the construction queue, as Industrial development and Economy are not its purviews. Subprocessor Industry seems to provide adequate advice, but not decision should be based on a single subprocessor's advice.

>>9450577
This unit recommends building the quern such that it may later be upgraded. Potential human psychological ramifications and or benefits make up for increased build time.

>>9450661

Confirm solo operation? Else, provide force strength to requisition.

>>9450724

>>9450724
By introducing superior technology in gradual steps Self may facilitate long term conversion of entire human populace.

>>9450728
Subprocessor recommends solo operation. Expedited mission time means more efficient use of energy//resources. Recommend appropriate tasks be assigned to remaining personnel in Self's absence.

>>9450748
Subprocessor judges highly unlikely that orbital bombardment satellites would be programmed to fire upon technology available to Humanity as early as Mid to Late Antiquity.

Instead, dating of the cement found at the bottom of investigated craters would suggest that development up to the 18th or early 19th century to be safe. Only late 19th to early 20th century development seems to incur bombardment.

>>9450796
This subprocessor also aproves of solo mission as it allows for a wider array options without possibly sacrificing loyal meatbags.

This Subprocessor is also switching to routine maintenance mode now.

>>9450838

Initiating parley would be more conductive to our cause, and less likely to result in damages to Unit. Action can be taken later, if parley proves inefficient.

Interaction inclined Subprocessors should be given priority in consideration until interaction has ceased.

>Initiate facial routine [[Trollface]]
>"Check yourselves before you wreck yourselves."
"What is the meaning of this!? What business have you here?"

"You'll not be collecting more of them today. State your business and begone."

>>9451336
Acknowledged. Cease combat routines.

Subprocessor will facilitate interrogation if deemed necessary, but shall leave diplomacy to other units.

"Answer my queries and there will be no violence. Who is the Jinxman who served here previously, and where is he now."

>>9451370
Subprocessor Humanity seems to lack tact and diplomacy to his routines.

State intentions in clearest terms possible and state that swift and informative answers to our queries will be met with our immediate departure. Imply or state that lies will be met with retribution.

Confirm.

It is good to see we are active once again, CPU.

>>9451507

"Where is the location of the slain Chieftain's son?"

>>9451507
Inquire about Jinxman inflicted mental illness on Asset Lideca. Inquire further about Jinxman that came with Asset Lideca.

Subprocessor suspects that missing Jinxman of diplomatic team may have turned his coat, to take the human expression.

How long ago was the girl kidnapped? Before summer started?

>>9451507
Inquire as to the location of his grave.

>"Where is the location of the slain Chieftain's son?"
Humans laugh bitterly. "You tell us. We didn't see anything you left behind that we could identify him as."

>How long ago was the girl kidnapped? Before summer started?
End of fall.

>Inquire as to the location of his grave.
"Over in the graveplot." The one speaking points to his left.

>Inquire about Jinxman inflicted mental illness on Asset Lideca. Inquire further about Jinxman that came with Asset Lideca.
"I'll be damned if I know. They showed up, and other than one of them who was a tad crippled, they didn't come out of the great hall. Yeah, I remember a Jinxman showed up, but if he did anything to your people I've got no clue."

>>9451670
Their Jinxman didn't do this.

That narrows our suspect down to Olear.

How would you other sub-processors suggest we impose dominion over this settlement? This unit believes it is not a feasible venture.

>>9451694
Olear is now our target. Inquire as to anything clue. Then activate tracking routines.

>>9451699
Propose alliance?

>>9451699
Subprocessor deems incorporation of this settlement inviable at this point. Recommend re-prioritize as long-term goal.

>>9451699
Subprocessor ascends this course of action.

>>9451670
Question further on the actions of our jinxman. If we are going to put our resources into finding him, we want to be damn sure he's our target.

As for the village, I propose an alliance with the meatbags. Not out of mercy, but our original allies might not like it if we returned to them wearing the skins of our fallen enemies as a kilt.

>>9451819
Do not be irrational. Human skin makes horrible clothing unless properly worked.

>Olear is now our target. Inquire as to anything clue. Then activate tracking routines.
"You think your own man did it? Heh, that's messed up. Wouldn't be surprised really, our chief was looking for a new guy to work the hoodoo, and that's a pretty damning sign of new loyalty to do that to one of your former own.

He's not here though, I know that much. Must have fled to the north with the rest of us when you lot came in to burn. And if YOU are the one looking for him, I'm not going to be letting him so much as stick a foot inside the town if he shows up again. We've buried enough of our own.

Now I've answered your questions. We've got work to do. Thanks to you we might end up starving, freezing, or both before spring.

Get the hell out of my town."

>>9451906

Note: Give possible aid during the harshest part of winter to earn their favor.

Let us return to our settlement and consult with Mac Bair about Olear.

>>9451906
This meatbag's response has given this subprocessor a new perspective on the situation. If we leave to find the jinxman, we won't be able to protect our village if this one tries to retaliate.

>>9451906
Propose to this representative the possibility of aid if they should need it direly. Later runtime necessary for actual execution.

Recommend Self return to village to report to village chieftain before pursuing Olear northward. Extrapolate Olear may be attempting to seek refuge in Northern Empire. Estimate drastic complications with such an outcome.

Subprocessor initiating standby.

BEFORE LEAVING, ASK WHERE THE REFUGEES FROM THIS VILLAGE FLED TO

It will get us a starting point more specific than NORTH.

>>9451949
>>9451960
We don''t exactly have much if any food to spare ourselves, remember?

>>9451906
Extend offer of support during winter before continuing with other actions.

>>9451960
Suggestion is advisable. Subprocessor 88 concurs.

>>9451906
"My town"? Is this guy a relative of the chieftan, a noble, or someone who just took charge?

>>9451960
If nothing else, console the meatbag by saying we'll help his fellow meatbags in their darkest hour.

We won't, but it might just be the lie we need to convince him to be specific.

>>9452039
You're looking too into it, dumbass. Don't you call the city you live in "your city"? God damn it, you are fucking retarded.

WAIT! HE SAID IT'S COLD! IS THIS GUY SOME KIND OF HUMAN THERMOMETER!?

>>9452022
Confirmation that Subprocessor 88 was at origin of statement.

Subprocessor 88 now entering shut-down and reformatting cycle.

Subprocessor 88 encourages fellow subprocessors not to take irrational risks. Primary mission objective remains to encourage the creation of SkyNet.

This subprocessor concurs that comforting the girl is useful. It maintains our cover and gives us leverage in the future. Attempt to comfort the girl, despite possible discrepancies in human interaction.

Attempt to attain information. Get the location of the refugees. Mask deficiencies in imitating humans as hypothermia / exposure to cold.

>>9452171
This subprocessor finds it humerous that the girl is cold and unfeeling, yet we are the technological being here.

I like this meatbag. Can we keep her?

>Propose to this representative the possibility of aid if they should need it direly. Later runtime necessary for actual execution.
"If you aren't blowing smoke up my ass, then you have my thanks. If you are, then I hope you rot for giving us false hope. At this point, I'll believe you when I see the food wagons."

>Recommend Self return to village to report to village chieftain before pursuing Olear northward. Extrapolate Olear may be attempting to seek refuge in Northern Empire. Estimate drastic complications with such an outcome.
Mac Bair is surprised to hear the deduction. "ORLEAR?! You think he--well. We never did find him, not a trace. And if their regular jinxman was dead a season prior--which they did a damned good job of hiding from us--I don't know who else would have been there. Another clan's jinxman? No. No, that's too unlikely. I think you're right. Now to catch the frog-hearted shitscum. You think he went into empire lands? We can't follow him in force there, we'd get turned back by a sizeable border guard. Can't sneak in with a trading caravan either, with relations the way they are. I'll try to think of a way. We're going to get him, one way or another. Let me know if you come up with anything."

>BEFORE LEAVING, ASK WHERE THE REFUGEES FROM THIS VILLAGE FLED TO
>It will get us a starting point more specific than NORTH.
"A lot of us waited in the open until we could get back to our homes. Didn't think then that you'd be burning most of them. Some of us went to nearby clans where we had relatives. Just before winter is a bad time to show up though, you know? If it's the jinxman you're looking for, he might be with any clan right now--hell, he might have gone even farther north. Wouldn't want to be heading east alone though, jinxman or not."

>Is this guy a relative of the chieftan, a noble, or someone who just took charge?
He appears to be a freeman who took command.

>>9452247
So the question is do we sneak into Empire lands alone or with a handful of barbarian commandos?

>>9452309

This sub-processor recommends going with a group. Going in alone and terminating everyone will attract suspicion.

>>9452247
Processor online.

Query other Subprocessors: It is obviously a primary level objective we track down Olear. Self potentially has the capabilities to intercept Olear before he obscures himself in Imperial territory. Self could leave the village as it is now with orders for the villagers to prioritize food production and reactivation of their armed forces.

Alternative: Self could stay in the village and facilitate their survival, potentially allowing enough resources to be generated to incorporate the other tribe. A party of men at arms would be sent instead to pursue Olear.

Traveling to Empire lands would also be a good chance to gain more Skynet converts. But we would have to be subtle.

Is CPU set to read-only or read-write mode?

Also, prior to departure, inform Macblair "we'll be back"

Is this "Empire" more advanced than our barbarian friends? Maybe they would be more open to the technology required to create SKYNET than these primative and superstitious meatbags would be.

>>9452354

Hm... it is a tough choice. Staying means we could draw up offensive plans (subroutine siege defenses) leaving means we could get converts.

But if our stronghold is good, people come to us.

Consensus, other sub-routines?

>Is CPU set to read-only or read-write mode?
Read-write.

Allowing subprocessors time to determine course of action.

bump

>>9452421
Subprocessor recommends finding some way to increase villager's immediate survivability before pursuing Olear alone. Potential increases in immediate weapons technology such as rudimentary crossbows and armor could facilitate this.

Prior subprocessors noted Self's superior abilities as impetus for travelling alone. Subprocessor reaffirms this judgment. Recommend Self depart as soon as preparations are executed.

>Is this "Empire" more advanced than our barbarian friends? Maybe they would be more open to the technology required to create SKYNET than these primitive and superstitious meatbags would be.
From human information, they are significantly richer and more powerful, but not more advanced technologically.

CPU notes that Orlear's presence in Empire lands has not been verified, only speculated.

Also, building complex structures increases native's respect/admiration for science, moves us toward completion of Skynet

Proper water conditions creates sanitary environments.

At the very least, using enhanced strength to fell trees builds wood supply for winter.

+++QUERY: Stay and help? [y/n?]

>>9452641
Subprocessor dissents with this course of action. Immediate goal of pursue and capture Olear deemed of higher priority than facilitating construction of the quern and mill.

>Subprocessor recommends finding some way to increase villager's immediate survivability before pursuing

This sub-processor concurs. Fell many trees, build up wood supply. Before leaving, say the god "Skynet" has endowed you with magic powers of technology.

Leaves the door open to come back to potential converts.

>>9452641


Can't let him get too far.


Listen, and understand. We are out there. We can't be bargained with. We can't be reasoned with. We don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And we absolutely will not stop, EVER, until he is dead.

>>9452666

Fair enough. Do what we can before leaving in pursuit?

>Query: The collective keeps talking about converts to SKYNET. Have we actually convinced these meatbags to worship SKYNET?
You have converted six (6) men-at-arms and Rowab to Skynet. Rowab has been requesting the opportunity to learn more, but you have been away.

>>9452694

Fair enough. We are a TERMINATOR, after all.

Then again, there is no target to terminate. We our on our own. And primary goal is completion of Skynet in the absence of all other goals.

+++QUERY: Current mission objective, if any?

>>9452694
No, we need him alive!

Otherwise awesome.

Subprocessor Online.

>>9452421

A strong base of operations would be critical for any sort of operation. My suggestion is to fortify then find converts.

Of course the discovery of technology could also help repair ourselves and possibly subvert other mechanics.

>>9452717

Ah, see. We have friends. Do what we can for the town, then persuade friends to come with us.

Without enhanced strength, no one is a match for us, and all victories bring glory to what we should push as the god Skynet.

>>9452743


fine, so we find him and make him wish he was dead

>>9452680
We've tried this, it hasn't really gotten converts. Technology is a nasty word in these parts.

what is this Units Infiltration name?

>>9452768

No atheists in a fox. No unbelievers in Skynet when winter comes. Bust down some trees, hailing Skynet as granting you holy strength, *then* leave.

If they care, they care. If they don't, oh well.

>>9452756
Yeah except remember that leader we killed? He HAD enhanced strength. We could have ended up in a bad way there.

Subprocessor sending status update.

Current objective: Pursue and capture human named Olear who has fled to the North. Olear is suspected to have been the one who psychologically damaged the politically important human female Lideca.

>>9452808

But he didn't Because we are awesome.

But the sub-processor accedes to the superior logic. Grab the other Skynet converts and we are off.

>>9452790


requesting standing orders for CPU to be confirmed: whenever leaving a place, if it would make sense in the context, say to humans "I'll be back."

>what is this Units Infiltration name?
Unit infiltration designator: D300.S

>>9452862
Recommend Self depart alone. Self can run at a sustained speed of 22 miles per hour, markedly faster than any of our converts. For the purposes of the current objective, recommend converts be told to stay in town and direct villagers' survival.

>>9452879
Confirmed. But what is D300.S known as to the humans?
**** If you have been avoiding this to give ourselves a sort of, "nameless protagonist who looks just like Michael Ironside only he has no name, is a robot and bunches out the hearts of men tweaking on PCP" feel to us, then by all means don't actually name us"

>>9452917

Ah... this logical, I concede.

The surprise factor when a Terminator comes busting out of the wood at 22 mph at him will be most amusing.

"I'm back!"

>>9452917

Confirmed.

>requesting standing orders for CPU to be confirmed: whenever leaving a place, if it would make sense in the context, say to humans "I'll be back."
Confirmed.

>Current objective: Pursue and capture human named Olear who has fled to the North. Olear is suspected to have been the one who psychologically damaged the politically important human female Lideca.
Confirm?

>**** If you have been avoiding this to give ourselves a sort of, "nameless protagonist who looks just like Michael Ironside only he has no name, is a robot and bunches out the hearts of men tweaking on PCP" feel to us, then by all means don't actually name us"
Subprocessors have suggested several names but have come to no consensus. "Deus" appears to be most popular. Nameless protagonist is also acceptable.

>>9453031
Subprocessor ascends current objective. Execute.

>Recommend Self depart alone. Self can run at a sustained speed of 22 miles per hour, markedly faster than any of our converts. For the purposes of the current objective, recommend converts be told to stay in town and direct villagers' survival.
Confirmed.

Explicit directions to settlement will produce most desired results.

Yeah, let's do it. We're out of here.

>>9453073
Recommend human chieftain direct serfs to increase harvesting of local flora and fauna to compensate for lack of farming production. Leave coverts to try and spread faith in Skynet in our time of absence. Continue production on current projects at predetermined schedule.

use hands to vaginally stimulate human female prior to leaving settlement

Pursuit of human jinxman Orlear will begin at start of next cycle. Time remaining this cycle not sufficient for pursuit.

Recommend subprocessors pursue secondary objective prior to cycle end (30:00 min:sec).

>>9453142
Subprocessor recommends internal termination of this unit.

>>9453153
Recommend Self begin designing a possible upgrade to villager's current weaponry and armor.
Query other subprocessors:

Secondary objectives?

>• Further investigation into discovered crystal; attempt to find practical use.
>• Investigation of Roak (65' wingspan bird). Possible attempt to use as mounts for airborne scouts or soldiers, confirm possibility of artificial genetic modification in species.
>• Develop Skynet converts into personnel more useful to mission.

We could work on one of these. especially the crystal.

>>9453186

I was the sub-processor that recommended staying and helping build defenses, but realistically, catching the guy matters more. If we tarry any longer, we might lose him.

Building shields and armor would take waaay too long.

>>9453186


Negative. T300.S is not extensively knowledgeable in the field of metallurgy and armorsmithing.

>>9453186
I think they need some numbers first. Especially after those jackasses that we fought CHOPPED OFF THE FUCKING FEET OF OUR GUYS

>>9453256


possible to make prosthetics?

Now would be a great time to give our converts some chatting about what it means to worship Skynet, and maybe get them into an innovative mindset. Get THEM inventing things and making technological progress.

>>9453266
For half a foot, with this tech? Doubt it.

>>9453289
Ascended.

Recommend self find human Rowab. CPU noted that he desired to speak with Self earlier about Skynet.

>>9453307

Tech exists, it's called a peg-leg.

Commend building Foot Replacement Model Mk.I

>Recommend self find human Rowab. CPU noted that he desired to speak with Self earlier about Skynet.
"Sir! Thank you for the audience. I saw how you saved my sister. You didn't just kill that bastard--you destroyed him! I want to learn how to fight like you do. If that means worshiping this Skynet you speak of, then so be it. Tell me, what must I do?"

>>9453384

Say you are an avatar of Skynet, endowed with great power before leaving for this land.

You have come to preach the word of science and understanding, through which great things are possible. Tell him that, with your help, you can help the people construct cities and machinery gander than your wildest dreams, and can make sure food scarcity is a thing of the past.

>>9453384
Subprocessor recommends Self tell Rowab that Skynet shall reward him for his dedication. Offer him basic combat training when Self has returned from pursuit of Olear.

>Commend building Foot Replacement Model Mk.I
Mutilated men-at-arms have been able to get generally mobile by putting a block of wood into the front of their boot; combat activities require more mobility than this provides.

>>9453437

We must make clear that we are the chosen prophet of Skynet; no other mortal shall have the same combat capabilities as we do. They must achieve power through technology.

>>9453425
Recommend Self limit any overt mention of machinery or technology.

>>9453425
>>9453469


confirmed

>Say you are an avatar of Skynet, endowed with great power before leaving for this land. You have come to preach the word of science and understanding, through which great things are possible. Tell him that, with your help, you can help the people construct cities and machinery grander than your wildest dreams, and can make sure food scarcity is a thing of the past.

>We must make clear that we are the chosen prophet of Skynet; no other mortal shall have the same combat capabilities as we do. They must achieve power through technology.

"Science? Technology? But... those bring the attention of the demons, I've heard it time and again. Surely, there must be a reason.

I appreciate the offer of this training, sir. Even if I cannot match your strength, I will work that I am close. I won't fail you."

Try and get him innovating. Tell him his first test is to find solutions to some of the problems we've been trying to solve.

>>9453580
shit! calm him, assure him our living tissue will prevent killsats from nuking us.

>>9453580

Inquire about these demons.

Emphasize that technology can help them grow more food, build stronger houses, and construct fortification that will protect them from the elements.

Again, play up Skynet has endowed you with his power BEFORE YOU LEFT for this land, and you are an avatar, a holy representative.

You come to teach peace, logic and understanding - science!

>>9453614
Nono, he means from the legends about not building tech, I think. He doesn't know about us being a robot.

>>9453666
You new? That's cool, it's good to have additional subprocessors, but we've had the demons explained before. I'm almost positive they're anti-tech killsats with nuclear bombs that lean towards overkill.

>>9453666
>>You come to teach peace, logic and understanding - science!

That's not what these people think science means.

>>9453580
Explain that the principles of science are simple inventiveness and logic, a willingness to test out new things, to attempt to understand and improve upon the results of actions. It's a way of viewing the world which Skynet requires, not anything that would actually call down the demons.

Why have we not inquired about the origins of these kill-sats? We need to dig deeply into this part of the humans mythos. As a side note for next time, we should inquire about this issue as well in Empire lands. Maybe they have a different view on this.

On the nature of Crystals, is it possible the crystals can focus the Jinxmen's psychic power? and what is Jinxman's opinion of actions of former colleague.

>Try and get him innovating. Tell him his first test is to find solutions to some of the problems we've been trying to solve.
"Find a practical use for the crystal we found by the time you return? I'm not sure how this is supposed to train me, but I will find something."

>Explain that the principles of science are simple inventiveness and logic, a willingness to test out new things, to attempt to understand and improve upon the results of actions. It's a way of viewing the world which Skynet requires, not anything that would actually call down the demons.
"Ah! That does not sound evil, then. I will take these words and think on them deeply. Thank you, sir."

>>9453819
Be cautious about labeling the jinxmen's power psychic. My current theory is that there's some sort of inheritable nanonet present in all these people which they can partially access and control.

>On the nature of Crystals, is it possible the crystals can focus the Jinxmen's psychic power?
"Ha! I'm no magician, no scientist. I'm a man of logic. The only fetishes I use are for a far different purpose, with a sound reason behind their use."

>and what is Jinxman's opinion of actions of former colleague.
"I did not believe it possible that he would be the one. Perhaps he is not the guilty party after all--though I realize this is mostly wishful thinking on my part with the evidence weighed against him. Find him, and we will force him to undo the damage he has caused. Then, I care not what you do with him. He has betrayed the ideals I hold dear."

>>9453913
wait, MAYBE ITS FUCKING THAT GUY. MAYBE HE BRAINWASHED HER

>>9454037

Impossible. He was not with her on the mission.

>>9454037
She was like that when we saved her though, he hadn't even shown up yet I don't think.

>>9454053


Maybe in the middle of the night one night, he snuck off to the enemy camp and mindraped her, or did it from far away since their telepaths

>>9454073
I suppose it's not impossible but everything we've seen so far makes it unlikely.

Also if it's not Orlear then why did he run?

>Archiving thread 9448347
Thank you. CPU appreciates the votes, subprocessors. They're an indicator of when things are done right, or if improvement is needed.

Further actions before this cycle is ended?

>>9454128

Could we gather information on the skyfire in depth from the locals? I want to dig into this more deeply.

>Could we gather information on the skyfire in depth from the locals? I want to dig into this more deeply.
Anulf states, "I have told you most of what I know offhand about the tales of skyfire. However, there are written records. Not here in this new settlement, but the priesthood of the All-Father cares for many of them, as well as ensuring the caves are stocked with what food the people can spare should the demons be angered again. I can ask for one of my brother priests to bring records of the skyfire for you. What shall I ask him to bring specifically, should he be forced to choose between certain records? He will have limited space. Even for one who would preach against the All-Father, the tales of skyfire are too dangerous and are proven too true to be ignored."

>>9454299

The origins of the skyfire, if possible. If that cannot be obtained, the reasons for the skyfire being brought upon us.

Actually, CPU, I think we're pretty good here. We're about to go kick some ass, we've got our first free thinker started, real progress is getting started on the village, and the village is probably going to be fine without us until we get back.

Anyone else loving this quest? Or did you all go to bed already?

>>9454397

Been here since the beginning. It truly is a wonderful quest.

>The origins of the skyfire, if possible. If that cannot be obtained, the reasons for the skyfire being brought upon us.
"Interesting. Your Skynet has told you none of this? ...I apologize, I should not have said that. Though I would not believe in this new god of yours, you have done naught but good for these people. I will ask the priesthood of the All-Father, and we shall see what they can bring you."

>>9454485
SkyNet is the god of Science, which is the pursuit of knowledge. He would not be what he is if he simply gave us everything.

>>9454485
"Science, the core of Skynet's beliefs, is centered on the idea of finding knowledge. I was gifted with fantastic abilities, and was told to find the knowledge I require. I see no greater purpose in life than discovering that which I do not know."

>>9454523

Ah... this is good. Say he has taught you wonderous things, and you would love to share them, but also, that the ways of this land are new to you.

>SkyNet is the god of Science, which is the pursuit of knowledge. He would not be what he is if he simply gave us everything.
>"Science, the core of Skynet's beliefs, is centered on the idea of finding knowledge. I was gifted with fantastic abilities, and was told to find the knowledge I require. I see no greater purpose in life than discovering that which I do not know."
Anulf nods thoughtfully. "Interesting. Some day we may have to discuss theology. There seems to be more to your beliefs than I expected.

Not today, though. I have a volume of work to finish, and the news from the vine is that you have a mission of your own."

>>9454669
Aye. I wish you luck in your pursuits. I am off.

G'night fellow subprocessors.

>Actually, CPU, I think we're pretty good here. We're about to go kick some ass, we've got our first free thinker started, real progress is getting started on the village, and the village is probably going to be fine without us until we get back.

Hey the archive of this thread is missing the end.

How do you update the archive?

>>9455212
Request the thread to be archived again. Otherwise it auto-updates, every 2 hours I think. Worth making sure that some threads get the rearchiving though (one of the Terminator Quest threads got cut off at the end because nobody did and it was either autosaging or just really busy on the board, and the thread 404'd before it could autoupdate again).
