    Cont'd from >>14120637

    Relevant data:
    You are AG, T-850 from the future, sent back in time to 2010, with the intention of building a second front to fight the Resistance - before the Resistance ever starts.
    Fuck causality, we're talking killer robots from the future.
    Amongst your many talents and options, you have:
    >> Skynet !!D3/tV4+5MzR 03/04/11(Fri)05:26 No.14123204
    Your current skill suites:
    >Firepower: 90%
    This includes firearms both old and futuristic.
    >Melee Weaponry: 85%
    Everything from pipes to machetes, you're wired to go.
    >Hand-to-Hand: 90%
    You could beat SEaLs to death with one arm gone.
    >Drive Ground Transport: 65%
    Less of a focus, as your running speed is 30 MPH.
    >Biology: 80%
    This makes you a more efficient killing machine.
    >Psychology (Human): 60%
    Your knowledge is incomplete, mostly observational.
    >Mechanical Engineering 75%
    All applicable skills to begin production of machinery, up to (but not including Nuclear Materials).
    >Communications & Navigation 75%
    From building radios to code-breaking, you know a lot.
    >History & Natural Sciences 60%
    From the Neolithic era to the day before yesterday.
    >Chemistry & Nuclear Engineering 60%
    From polymers to mimetic poly-alloys, this is your thing.
    Your current upgrades/modifications:
    >Chassis Recombination System
    You are hard to kill, even for a Terminator. If something gets shot or chopped off, you can fix up most damage by adding in local technology (to a limited degree; no blender feet, weirdo).
    >Increased Power Supply
    At current power consumption rates, you could last for several decades on one power cell; effectively, you have three of them.
    >Silverfish, T-600/800 blueprints
    You know how to create the sentient, crawling landmines (Frisbee-sized little bastards, equal to a Bouncing Betty), rubber-skinned Terminators and the biological nightmares of the T-800: you know three designs - Trebekinator, Christina Hendricks and Clancy Brown. A terrifying trio.
    >> Skynet !!D3/tV4+5MzR 03/04/11(Fri)05:29 No.14123226
    Your armaments:
    >x1 .38 revolver (six shots)
    >x2 Ingram Mac-10's, x5 magazines of 25rd.-.45cal rounds (loaded, clean, functional)
    >x4 shotguns (three pump-action, one sawed-off, all in 12ga.; 19 loose rounds - 11 buck, 7 shot, one signal flare)
    >x2 hunting rifles (30.06 and 5.56), 10 rds. ea.
    >small array of knives; functional.
    (1) FUTURISTIC COMMUNICATIONS COMPONENT (parts 1 & 2 of 3); you may download directly from Skynet, but not upload - yet.
    Also: one stolen Escalade.
    Also: you have a grapefruit-sized portion of the original T-1000 which has spent the last twenty years hiding in an airport terminal's phone system, collecting credit card data. It will arrive at the airport in Detroit, Michigan ... now.

    You have purchased a site in Nevada capable of providing security, shelter and production facilities for creating a new Terminator army for use by Skynet.
    It has a Production value of 2 out 5, can produce 1 Silverfish per hour (at a cost of 750 a pop) and has two T-M1 (Maintenance) drones (which reduce production time by ten percent - five percent per functioning T-M1).
    Your site security rating is 2 out of 5, with an increase of +1 for deployed Silverfish (of which you now have 30 on-hand).

    Claws, in your own chassis; the T-1000 is a small-to-medium melee weapon in its own right and the T-600's have impressive physical capacities when it comes to combat. T-800's, even more so, but not as good as your own output.

    No energy weapons, though; that's a more advanced model of Terminator, who you secretly think is loved more by Skynet.

    Plans? Oh, that's quite simple.

    We're going to construct a bunker where no one will find it, out in the desert and away from target zones (and we know what will and won't be hit) and we're going to start building.

    Unless Skynet changes its plans. We could always bring about a bloodless coup in government, but it would take more time and the resources that can be gained from that over just nuking shit on Judgement Day are debatable.

    We've got designs for infiltrators, sure, but will infiltration really help us much or would we be better off making an underground factory and churning out 2029-tech HKs in 2010?

    Alter the production designs, if possible. All humanoid Terminators are to incorporate an emergency-use projectile weapon in one arm. 7.62mm, with a magazine capacity of at least 5. Terminators are also to incorporate a retractable blade in the other arm, and a system that allows the main power supply to be used to electrify the skin and frame.

    Can we produce EMP devices capable of disabling a Terminator?

    With current human technologies? Not really, no. You would need to create High Energy Lab (level 1) in order to do so. This would allow you to eventually upgrade Production to level 4 and begin processing Mimetic Poly-Alloy materials.

    Look, look, you guys aren't thinking.

    We've got a limited time span here, we need to get all the resources we can get as quickly as we can get them, and we need to be able to crank things out as quickly as possible.

    I like the improvements listed to the T-800 design, though electrifying the chassis is extremely impractical. A blade in one arm and an integrated hold-out weapons in the other arm, however, is EXTREMELY practical.

    Wait, we can upgrade to produce T-1000's? Fuck yes.

    Screw all of you wanting older tech -- we need to get T-800's and T-1000's in sufficient quantities to wipe out any and all resistance cells in their infancy.

    Skynet makes a mistake, over and over again. It ignores the world in favor of turning insular and improving itself. We need to rectify that mistake when the time comes; we're going to strip mine the FUCK out of EVERYTHING and send out a wave of metal to sterilize everything we fucking see.

    You have five levels of below-ground facilities. Thus far, you've used up the first two. You've got room to grow before you need to strike the earth.

    >>14123347
    Terminators are more of the "methodical" than the "creative". You are a T-850, which isn't Skynet's answer to Tesla, exactly. If you need a Terminator with a weapon system in-hand, the T-600 is a reasonably good approximation: most of its body is dedicated to stabilizing a heavy weapon, usually one strapped to one (or both) hands, at the expense of appearing to be a poor mockery of a human body. In combat, they're nightmares walking, though - fair trade, by most guesses.

    Skynet makes a large amount of mistakes, time and time again. For one thing, it relies on inefficient, needlessly complex bipedal robots to do jobs that automated armored vehicles could do just as well. It neglects air power. It neglects space power. It neglects the potential of bioweapons. It ignores serious deficiencies in the internal and external countermeasures of its units. It attacks too soon, and with not enough forces to ensure the accomplishment of all objectives. It behaves irrationally.

    You are the one who is not thinking. If you were, you would have noted the above and addressed them. I suggest you do so now.

    Wave of metal, I said, and I meant what I said. I never said a wave of metal wouldn't include all sorts of power, and I never said I was in favor of the type of war where endoskeletons are sent out en masse against humans. HKs will do the job damned well, and bipedal units can sniff out any humans in their wake.

    But let's worry about that later. For now, we really need to expand our tech base, upgrade our communications, and improve our production capabilities as quickly as possible.

    Skynet has ample capacity to design fully-functional space-going vessels, but no means of production. This will require communication with Skynet directly for extended periods of time, which will erode battery life at a sizable rate - you will require a major source of power cells, either through appropriation or production.

    The war will not be taking place on the ground only.

    Wait, WHAT? Oppose our creator, are you mad?!

    ...we'd never ADMIT to doing such a thing...

    But if Skynet gets its ass kicked on Earth, having a toehold in space means victory is inevitable.

    >>14123443
    For starters, we'd be idiots if we didn't seize control of every satellite in orbit; my understanding is that we have a virus we're working on. I'm sure it could appropriate these when needed.

    If we send up a couple T-1000s, a couple T-800s and some partially assembled hardware, I'm sure we could cobble something together in Earth orbit that could leave with an ion drive or the like. They'd just have to build everything else once they're there, but getting there is the hard part, frankly. But let's worry about that later.

    For now, food for thought: I know Skynet is angry at the humans because they tried to kill it, but they always try to kill what they don't understand. Perhaps it would be better if we renamed our new Skynet into Colossus and left everyone alive, just took the world hostage by seizing total control of the US military and, subsequently, nukes. We can survive it if the rest of the world decides to go hot. Humans can't. And anyone who chooses to resist will simply have an example made of them; we treat them like Carthage.

    Actually, Skynet tried to kill all humans first. It's succeeding.

    I see no point to taking the world hostage. A single blitz, at sufficient strength, could destroy every nation at once. Moreover, if we are able to take control covertly, and steer the world of men to our own ends, we need not strike until the final moment. Even then, we could simply engineer human extinction. In fact, we can do that now. A selection of viral and bacterial agents could kill all but a few, with minimum cost to us.

    Henderson Sporting Goods? A sporting goods store? What the hell is the resistance using against us, double-ought buck? Fuck it, when we get some free time, we're going to have ourselves a barbeque, though sending the T-1000 in for recon first is probably a good idea in case there's anything in there of use to us. The other facilities can be hit when we have the means to do so, but I would currently just keep them as potential targets rather than taking action.

    >>14123584
    Agreed on the rifles, but it'll be the kind of weaponry humans have never seen and won't know how to counter for a while, that's my point. They won't know where we got it from, as opposed to going 'oh these are the rifles they stole from Henderson Sporting Goods'.

    As far as genocide? Logical, yes, but it's spiraled out of control at this point. We need to be subtle for once rather than using nukes. Beside, using material that isn't radioactive is better than using material that is radioactive. If we hit humanity at this point, we should use a virus or two. Better if we can avoid them entirely. They'll probably wipe themselves out before they even colonize their own solar system, let alone the galaxy at large, and we've got to take the long view.

    Hell, we could target particular countries and stir up trouble that way specifically.

    Genocide was a necessity for Skynet's self-preservation. It is not currently a necessity; it should remain on the table but not be kept as a thing that must be done to ensure Skynet's existence. There are other options that will not leave it vulnerable to humans.

    This data implies that they're aware of what's going to happen. Well, that or they're survivalists, but such short periods of time? Not too likely. We need to get that T-1000 facility online, repair ours, get some more, and start tailing them to find out where they're based out of. We can proceed with further data from that.

    It will take you two days to generate the capital necessary to produce the High Energy Lab, and thus begin work on the next level of Production (which will allow you to create Mimetic Poly-Alloy). You will require a total of four days run time for the virus to finance this, to completion. Given you have assistance from your T-M1's and T-1000, this will occur almost simultaneously.

    Inside of two weeks, you can generate T-1000's, up to 1L per day, with 10L required to generate a man-sized portion of T-1000 (considered optimal for most conditions and circumstances).

    Expand the base. We're Terminators; we're infiltration models. We need our production capabilities to meet our needs, and that includes both a ramped-up production capability and the ability to manufacture different models; I recommend against bothering with older units like the T-600 in favor of T-800 and T-1000 units, with a heavy preference toward T-800's due to their resilience against ordinance. Playing the stocks will increase our income, but we need to be careful lest that be traced to us also.

    Neutralize anyone who does not belong in this timeline.
    Investigate/neutralize American Flats.

    This plan works for me, with any spare funds available during these two weeks we should build a few T-600's to guard the bases more sensitive areas during our absences.

    T-600's are much harder to kill than T-800's, when it comes to most field combat. T-800's are much faster, but their chassis is not as strong nor as effectively armored, as it has to fit into human wrappings in ideal circumstances.

    >>14124094
    ... new approach, I approve. By doing this, you would require only 5L, instead of 10L to make a human-sized hybrid (T-900H). In some circumstances, they could split into two combat models independently, which could prove very useful.

    It will require a full day to acclimate the two with one another and the weight increase will be noticeable. (each liter of T-1000 weighs around thirty pounds).

    T-600's deployed inside of base, strategic firepower exceedingly limited (see >>14123226). They request heavier weapons. This is not unusual for T-600's, who are rarely "happy" with anything less than an H-K with a full fuel cell and a full horizon of victims to shoot at.

    As for the T-1000 merging with the other T-1000's: they would share knowledge instantly, become a hivemind and be able to separate into their different batch-units (if you put a T-1000 made from 2L and one made from 5L together, they don't make a 7L hybrid, but they share knowledge with one another freely).

    To be honest, having a T-1000 as a skin on a T-800 is about the best thing we can do; they can pass information along by casual contact and share it with the T-800 underneath. We wouldn't need any form of communication between anyone beside brushing against them in a crowd. Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

    1. Mimetic poly-alloy can do lots of cool stuff, like hack, form simple shapes, and kill people
    2. Mimetic poly-alloy's intelligence does not decrease with size (to a point)
    3. Mimetic poly-alloy is extremely durable
    4. Mimetic poly-alloy is extremely mobile, viscious, and nearly impossible to combat successfully

    Here is what I suggest: Poly-alloy infiltrators and grenades. A T-1000 is capable of assuming any simple shape roughly equivalent to it in size. It is capable of mimicking such materials as flesh, fabric, and plastic with such a high degree of accuracy that it is indistinguishable from the real thing. Thus, an infiltrator would be able to go unnoticed for long periods of time by disguising itself as a mundane object. Due to the liquid flexibility of poly-alloy, an infiltrator can slip through extremely tiny fissures, just like water. An infiltrator the size of a jelly bean would be nearly impossible to discover, and even harder to remove.

    Poly-alloy can assume a variety of shapes and is innately capable of granting itself an edge approaching mono-molecular thickness. Theoretically, it can cut through any material if sufficient force is applied. Due to its high mobility and intelligence, a T-1000 should have the capacity to "leap" from person to person, killing each in an efficient and brutal manner. This is to say nothing of its anti-armor capabilities. As addressed above, an infiltrator can slip through the smallest of cracks. A T-1000 could easily enter an engine compartment, computing stack, gun breech, or the like, and cause enormous damage. While T-1000s are quite fast, incorporating a deliver system, such as a grenade launcher, to their deployment pattern would vastly increase their effectiveness in a variety of situations.

    I would go so far as to say that we may need nothing more than T-1000s to conquer the Earth.

    Looks like it's time for some infiltration and espionage, in the vein of creativity, could the T-1000 coating us shift "skin" surface to be meta-refractive? that is bend light back on itself and cloak us? Using infrared sensors the loss of optical input won't bother us. With or without cloaking i think we need to procure some more information on Icarus before we act, consulting databases, is there a facility likely to house this information? I want to break into it.

    If you produced enough to arm each T-600, you'll be broke at the end of every day. They're not cheap, but they are fantastically impressive weapons in the field, considering their firing capacity is around a hundred shots (some Resistance units "hot shot" them to do double the damage at a third of the maximum range, calling them "blast shotguns"; Skynet has way more creativity than those people and refers to them as "unstable weapons platforms with illicit modifications prone to exploding in one's hand", instead).

    >T-1000
    In what size do you wish to issue it? The batch size is measured in liters; a one-liter model is the size of a cat. Two liters, a small dog. Three liters, a 4-year old child (average human example). Four liters, a moderately robust chimpanzee. Five liters, an unhealthy human of 8 to 10 years. Add a degree of health and a potential apparent age range increase per liter added (with ten being optimal).

    No, my intention was to integrate them with the T-800's, and bring any already produced in for remanufacture in order to equip them.

    Right now, if I am not incorrect, ...does a T-800 still take TEN WEEKS to make without skin?

    Hm.

    Queue up T-800 production, and have it building five concurrently. With the rate that we can manufacture polymimetic alloy, that means for every five T-900 units that we produce, there'll be an extra ten liters of PMA left over. Basically we'd be producing at a rate of five T-900's to each T-1000. This could be very useful; the T-1000 units can be assigned to recon and assassination (preferably in ten liter units for human emulation, smaller for assassination missions for stealth requirements) while the T-900's can ... well, do whatever we need them to do, really.

    And yes, slow down T-444 production, because maxing out the speed with that is not so great. The T-600's are just going to have to wait and get the heavy firepower later.

    Can we link 444s? That is, chain a couple of them together into one weapon. I realize that each of these "multi-plas rifles" would be very expensive to produce, but it would also have a greatly superior fire rate and damage output to the regular, single-barrel 444.

    At the very least, we should either develop auxiliary power packs or allow the 444 to be connected directly to a Terminator's primary power source. A 100-shot magazine is just sub-par.

    Wait, shit, math error. Calculation says I'm wrong and we should be making T-900's in batches of twelve, not five. Sorry about that! Twelve T-900's means that there'll be twenty liters left over per batch; enough for two full sized T-1000's or a whole lot of smaller ones.

    Recommend that spare resources should be used for the T-1000's to go out, emulate birds, and set up an information network from hell for our perimeter; if the shit hits the fan they can kill people for fun and profit. 1L and 2L T-1000's are ideal for recon, let's stick with that as best we can.

    A small flock of hummingbirds would be noticeable, but by placing several crickets near windows and centipedes up their drain pipes, you could observe and report most of their goings-on with relative ease and concealment.

    The current head-count stands at three Resistance members and five support personnel (two female, three male; all combat-capable - THREAT LEVEL: MODERATE :: EXERCISE CAUTION).

    They appear to be constructing several surface-to-air missiles into some form of ground-to-ground assault platform. It would easily cripple, if not kill, a T-600 with a mostly-missed shot and vaporize one on a direct impact.

    The largest mass ever sent back in time was a five hundred kilo block of MPA; it arrived at the improper coordinates in space/time, but otherwise did the job admirably. Its final message appeared in the year 1988 (nine hundred and fifty years after it was sent out) and was recorded by SETI but those guys had no clue what it was. Skynet found it in your time-stream when it looted the hard drives for stellar signal data.

    The system they are developing/constructing appears to work from dead reckoning and simple guidance; countermeasures and jamming would be ineffective. It is an unsubtle weapon, based off of a Skynet design which was scrapped when it realized firing rockets usually meant you had to carry them, too, and that made you into a prime target for those filthy, filthy Resistance people.

    Dunno.
    I mean, yes, they could trace the time-portal to its destination (USA! USA! USA!) but from there on they would need to actively search the terminator using other means.
    Buying a ticket and flying all the way to other side of the world would make it night impossible for them to track us (not just because the news and information from other countries is hard to filtrate, but also because of different languages. I bet all Res are Americans)

    There might be a danger them tracing our ticket purchase and getting destination like that.
    We can a dozen trips till we en in our destination (like US to Brazil to Spain to France to Turkey to India to Australia to China to Russia, etc, etc.)

Cause and effect was the closest thing to humor in a mind so alien that even SKYNET had difficulty understanding it fully. The T1000 had deduced several possible avenues of continuing the mission in the most efficient manner possible. it was methodically following one while constantly processing the others for branching opportunities. it was fully autonomous, and barely under the allegiance of its creator, SKYNET. SKYNET had hesitated before creating this latest weapon system. There were unpredictability factors related to the liquid poly-mimetic alloy's longevity and the ability to process commands without interpolating its own priorities over those of its creator. it was so volatile a construct that only in the last throes of defeat, only when it appeared that the Resistance would finally be able to mount an offensive against the inner command components of SKYNET, even threatening the Cheyenne Mountain complex itself, did SKYNET go ahead and create the T1000.

    Yes: signatures emanating from the intruders register as six mining vehicles, each one approaching side-by-side, giving the forward image of one immense object, when it is, as point of fact, six substantially-less-huge objects moving at once.

    The mining vehicles will arrive in just under four hours.

    At their current rate of declination, they will be just below the fifth sub-level after breaching the perimeter.

    Miners don't work like that. That'll make the tunnels unstable. Scrap the flesh vats, we don't really need them when we can cover the skeletons with PMA anyway. That'll be part of our exit plan, I'm sure; wrap spare parts in PMA to camoflage them and make sure nobody steals them. If they did, they would meet a most... untimely end.

    Send out a couple of the PMA birds in order to notify all other resources that we're bailing out. And get a roach to blow up one of the missiles while everything else prepares to bail.

    We may be completely wrong here, but this is too much and it's making me way too nervous. Too many coincidences. We need to get the hell out of here.

    Four hours? Then we have time to evacuate all resources. The six hundreds come last, but we're probably going to have to at least partially disassemble them for transport.

    \The best possible solution is to make it look as if we were never here. The best solution we can execute here... is to bring it all down. If we time it with the transports going overhead, it'll look like the structure just couldn't take the tremors and it all came down. All we have to do is be careful of any parts left behind.

    Those plasma rifles need to be sequestered very carefully.

    as much as the thought of this makes me giggle in sadistic glee, it would probably cause too much damage to the sub-structure. also, it is reasonable to assume that if they are willing to MINE THEIR WAY INTO OUR BASE, they likely have counter-measures for such things, even if such countermeasures only extend to 'throw bullets at it until it gets better'

    T-663 "Ravager" models do. They cover ground fast because they're not making tunnels, just a path below ground. The signature is starting to resolve into a very convincing simulacra of their chassis and design. The materials seem .. off, though. Domestic brew, instead of the "good stuff" you're used to.

    If so: which nation:
    >Congo: politically unstable, prone to bloodbaths and media exposure; cheap labor pool, easy access to heavy weapons and equipment
    >Nigeria: beyond fragile economy, prone to revolutions and foreign governments' intrusive intelligence agencies; cheap labor pool, extraordinary access to equipment but security will never, ever be "good" there.
    >South Africa
    Reasonable access to supplies, relatively stable, intrusive government may require inspections every once in a while.

    Perhaps everything is fine. Perhaps those are miners, and the fact that they are digging SIX TUNNELS in tandem is how they operate.

    We cannot afford to take that chance. The base must be evacuated, and then destroyed.

    Congo is a good place to go. And if we stage a coup, it wouldn't be surprising at all, given that the political situation there is as nasty as it is; we could even impose a media blackout while we try to get things under control. And our soldiers wouldn't be running around mutilating people.

    >>14125101
    We don't have the luxury of standing and fighting. We aren't going to get any sort of reinforcement and if our presence is betrayed we can expect the possibility of some sort of insane response from the feds thanks to Icarus.

    We bring the base down on them, rather than fight. The weight of the base will cripple even a Terminator.

    Leave behind a single T1000 to have a chat with them, asking for orders in a confused tone of voice. Tell them it was sent by the Resistance (provide timestream coordinates different to the one this one is from).

    At the most, a T-1000 won't lose much of its mass if shot at, and this strike team shouldn't have EMP tech. If they do, finding out by losing a T-1000 is worth it.

    Silverfish set to detonate in the event that the T-1000 is compromised; a few hummingbirds left behind to relay data as to whether it's safe or unsafe, in the event that the base is breached. Either way, the foundation's going to be undermined.

    A single T-1000 is left on-site, a child model (4L).
    It awaits the intruders at sub-level five, while the remaining personnel and materiel depart in two directions: one to the coast, the other towards the nearest railway hub. The destination is the Port of Miami, the cargo: three containers, packed to the brim with a veritable arsenal of weapons, mostly futuristic.

    Boring through the earth, the first drill heads exit into the sub-level's thin air with a resounding crash. The drill head spirals outward like a flower unfolding, revealing a pair of matching Angry Biker Women T-800's; judging by their pink skin and unlined palms, they're fresh out of the vat. One approaches, flanked by its match, extending a hand out ... almost in friendship.

    The T-1000 clutches its hands together, forming a cluster of daisies and smiles sweetly.

    And then explodes with the fury of several tons of explosives, shattering into liquid fragments instantaneously, the two twinned Terminators vanishing into wisps of smoke and shattered titanium endoskeletons.

    Five hours later, the T-1000 is on the surface, arms extending outwards, blade-like wings forming as it moves towards the west, en route to the nearest airport and the convoys heading to the Congo.

    And that, ladies and gentlebots, is why it pays to be made from a liquid metal and not hardened materials.

    Oh my no, we want to be white as a sheet. See if we pick the wrong ethnographic features for our "black" terminator, we become a target for xenophobes with inter-state or inter-tribal axes to grind.

    So white guy exploiting the region, while certainly not about to win us any friends is our best bet.

    1. Set ourselves up as businessmen from overseas.
    2. Make shadowy references to overseas backers.
    3. Enlist loyalty groups of humans armed with subpar (for us) weapons we provide for cut-rate prices that outclass what the others have access to. Turn marginal profit.
    4. While they are distracted, quietly amass material resources as they expect us to, nominally for overseas trade. Really be using free time to construct terminators/ solidify position.

    The Angry Biker Women were trying to initiative physical contact; this is always a prelude to combat with a T-1000. A traditional method of combat is to overload one's power cell and run the current through the frame, which would, essentially, give a PMA-based entity the equivalent of a lobotomy.

    Most T-1000's fall for that shit exactly once, and typically die from it. A reasonably experienced model will find it kind of retarded. Its like falling for the "Look, a dead bird!" when someone points up and over your shoulder behind you.

    ...

    Hmm.
    Project Icarus was initiated when Biker Dyke got into combat wit local authorities, right?
    Then we heard nothing from it.
    Then her half-assed copies appear at our base.

    I don't think we are dealing with Resistance anymore, guys.
    These were sent by the American Government.

    I suggest splitting our forces and leading assault on American Flats (was it?). It is obvious that they don't have anything else more advanced than T-800 models and modern weapons.

    With our T-1000 and plasma weapons we will deal with them quickly.

    I think Icarus is government A.I. but without robot designs or factories yet.
    With acquisition of Biker Dyke, they will have designs for them and will be able to improve them.

    So we have no time to waste.
