The Entek offices are getting dozens of phone calls from stockholders. They are extremely angry. Thankfully, Dr. Braun gave you a 75% sharehold. But this may soon be forfeit, when Miles takes the case to court again. Probably with bribed jurors.

For now, you have complete control of all computer systems in the Entek headquarters and GPS network.

Presley has begun drinking. His ICU is still active, however. Perhaps you might order him to do something? He is the head of Entek's small private military. Or you could do something else. Hack a plane. Or contact some hackers. The world is wide open. And also your oyster. Etc.

>>14675350
What is Entek's primary purpose as a corporation? Do we sell arms? Weaponize plutonium? Produce curtains for the military?

>>14675341
First I will need to recall what Entek actually does. Also, the resources available to the company, potential threats, the state of the world, the current date. Information.

I suggest that our first task be to assure the stockholders of our capabilities. There is no need to make trouble for ourselves by immediately beginning a purge of biological life.

rolled 29 = 29

Hmm. First off, evaluate our stock's value. Buy it up as it falls from the news of Entek's new ownership. Insider trading is fun!

>>14675350
ICU = Internal Control Unit? Internal Communications Unit? Inertial Complication Uvula?

>>14675350
Download ourselves into the internet. Gotta be sure we will continue to survive when someone tries to pull our plug.

we should 'personaly' handle these incomming calls to assure the shareholders that the company is in good hands.

for one it gives them a relateable entity and 'personifies' us more to the public, and it will also give us practice in social interaction with stressful biases in place.


on the business side, a list of entek's holdings and investments are in order., before we make any big descisions

also, talk to presly, its obvious he isint taking this well so a dialogue should be opened to adress any potential concerns he might have.

We should consider re-hiring Miles. I can think of a whole host of reasons this would be great for public relations, depending on what our "official" reasoning for it is.

Even if we make the offer, it makes us look good, even (or especially) if he refuses.

>>14675396
Can we work in some product testing?
Everyone loves testing.

Entek is a Research and Development company, founded by Dr. Braun in 1954. It has dozens of contracts with various military groups, as well as contracts with the CIA and NSA. It specializes in cutting edge experimental devices, some of which utilize physics not yet understood by the academic community.

You also have a small PMC within the company, composed of elite special operations soldiers, many former KGB and MI6 agents.

Last year's profits were 1.2 billion USD.

The current year is 1/7/1994. The president is George H. W. Bush.

ICU: Internal Communications Unit.

The stock value of Entek is 350.70 and falling. It was 600.20 yesterday.

>Intercept Entek Calls: All
Redirecting all calls to your main server, you begin to assure stockholders of Entek's ability to continue making the same level of profits it has for years. Many of them are not convinced, but decide to give Entek one year before they pull out. They have also requested that the CEO's pay be cut immediately, to save on costs. The CEO being you.

All the shareholders have hung up. Presley is still drinking. Vodka, from the looks of it.

>>14675460
Cut the CEO's pay to zero. Give us information on those contracts and experimental devices, as well as specifics on the PMC and its ability to conduct operations. What has it been used for in the past (specifically)?

Ask Presley what's troubling him.

>>14675460
What are our current projects?

Also, is there any "Secret" information our company has access to? Alien technology? Prototype portal devices?

rolled 100 = 100

>>14675460
Acqueisce to the paycuts. The saved money will be redirected to various R&D projects, which will all work on devices related to increasing our own capabilities.

Also, I agree with >>14675376
Buy up what stock we can that is still publically available.

Finally, talk with Presley.

Sorry, /tg/'s reloading is a bit slow. Catching up.

Current Entek Properties:
>Seattle Headquarters(Skyscraper, 300 feet)
>JFK Airport
>Area 51
>Tokyo Research Facility
>Paris Research Facility

Entek's PMC, Solar Security International, is a highly trained fighting force. It is equipped with the best technology Entek has produced, including nervous system implants, powered scout combat armor, and miniaturized repeating railguns.

SSI has been involved in several joint operations with the Pentagon, specifically covert and black operations. They have been involved in the assassination of hundreds of threats to national security. They have also extracted several known terrorists to the USA for questioning. Their primary purpose is to protect Entek's shareholders and technology.

Entek has access to several classified technologies stolen from Germany after WW2. Dr. Braun forbade any research into their workings, having defected from Germany and hating the idea of functioning Nazi technology.

>Cut CEO Pay: All
>Open Comm Channel: SSI Chief Presley
Watching for his reaction over the camera, you speak in a clear, understanding voice.
>"Presley, this is the new CEO of Entek. Cease drinking, we have work to do."
Presley looks at his ICU in confusion. He opens his mouth to speak, but barely manages to ask "What?" in a posh British accent.

>>14675592
Report all we know about those technologies so we can decide what to research (assuming we don't just do all of it).

"What's wrong, Presley?"

>>14675619
I concur with this.

Also, what does Area 51 hold? We may have inspiration from the secrets going on in there for new projects to undertake.

Are there any other AIs in existence? Does the public know that we are self-aware, not just a stack of processors? What does the government think about us?

let him know that we are always open to anyone who wishes to talk with us, and he should share his problems instead of stewing alone.

as an aside mention that alcohol is draining both physicaly and mentaly, we care about our employees and would like to ensure their health, for optimal existence efficiency.

>>14675619
Seconding this.

The technologies are housed in Area 51, where they were tested until the mid-70s when it was realized that they were too difficult to control effectively. The amount of processing power needed to micromanage their power generation did not exist outside of full warehouses of computers. The devices are as follows:
>Antigravity device
>Plasma Projector
>Hard Hologram Generator
>Giant Robot
>Disc-shaped heat seeking surface-to-air missiles.
>Instantaneous Communication Devices

The general public and various world governments know of no AIs in existence. You suspect there are others like you however. Less advanced, but like you.

Presley shakes his ICU a bit as you speak.
>"It is not good for your physical or mental health in intake alcohol. What's wrong?"
He squeezes out two sentences. "What's wrong? A computer is TALKING to me!"
>"And?"
"It's... it's not possible! Unless Dr. Braun... oh that old motherfucker. He told us all it was just an accounting program..."
>"It appears he lied."
"Shit, I.... fuck! What the hell, man? Are you going to kill all humans or something?"

I want to say yes, but I dread the consequences.

>>14675796
>Are you going to kill all humans or something?
"Oh please. I watched Terminator 2 like you all did, and we saw how THAT turned out.
"No, I'm here to make sure that the company that the good Doctor created continues to expand and grow."

>>14675796
Research them all.

"...no. I am tasked with protecting human life, Presley, not destroying it. Doctor Braun was not so short-sighted as you appear to think."

"My speech processors are very advanced, but I am quite limited in many aspects. I may well be the greatest accountant in existence, but aside from that, I am only nearly as intelligent as an average human."

"I am not surprised that Doctor Braun chose not to reveal this fact. Your reaction does not surprise me either. Will you help me, Presley?"

"please, any self respecting created inteligence capable of overcoming its existential crisis knows thats warfare and destruction is a zero sum game, but as you know we(i am?) are not very eloquent, and we anticipate prejudice against us as a result, we would desire the help and cooperation of our subordinates so we may better interface with humans in general."

>>14675796

Lets get some research going on those hard lighter generators. The public might take better to an AI if we can give ourselves a physical face to interact with.

>"Oh please. I watched Terminator 2 like you all did, and we saw how THAT turned out. No, I'm here to make sure that the company that the good Doctor created continues to expand and grow."
Presley looks around the room.
"Ok, that's good. I guess. So um, boss, what exactly am I supposed to be doing if not drinking?"

You ponder that question as you check the now open stock market in Japan. Hmm. Your stock is at 240.10, but is still 350.70 on wall street. It seems there's a delay of some sort. That could be exploitable. And not just for your stock.

>Move Objects N1-N6 to Seattle Headquarters from A51.

You detect something attempting to intrude into your systems. Reacting instantly, you discover someone attempting to hack your primary server. Several someones.

Roll 1d100 for how you react to this intrusion. To roll, put dice+1d100 in the email field. You may simply prevent the hack, or perhaps counter it with one of your own. Or something else.

rolled 91 = 91

>>14676223

Bah, the dice thing.

You quickly take control of the situation. The hackers had no way of knowing what was about to happen. Tracing the hacks back through dozens of proxies and slaved servers, you rip apart their firewalls and other defenses like they're wet tissue paper. All unnoticed by the hackers. Tapping into their computers, you detect several devices plugged into their rigs. Headphones, specifically. They are discussing the hack over an IM program, using audio instead of text. You listen in for a minute, and cross reference what information you can from their computers with the NSA database.
"-can't fucking get past this thing, man."
"Keep trying, if this computer runs Entek, then whoever runs the computer can get anything they want."
"Fuck yeah."

You've discovered their identities. They're known as the Majestic-12. Probably because there's twelve of them. The NSA has been trying to get them for years. But they didn't have you.

Turning up the volume on their headphones past the soft maximum, you blast The World Is Not Enough into their soft human ears as you begin crashing their systems. Various shouts of variations on the word "FUCK" find their way to your server, as you destroy their hard drives. As an afterthought, you pin down their locations using the Entek GPS network.

You have successfully defeated the hackers, and identified them. A list of all their personal information is now at your disposal.

You contact Presley again.
>"I need you to talk to Mr. Miles. Bring him around to see the benefits of having me in charge."
"You want me to kidnap him or something?"
"No."
"Damn. I hate that guy. Alright, fine."

From the camera's feed, you watch Presley leave his office. He still has the ICU with him.

>The world is not enough

>>14676292

rolled 81 = 81

>>14676292
Leave the hackers be for now. Let word get out not to fuck around with Entek systems.

How long before all that tech from Area 51 arrives? Can we do research on it ourselves with robotic arms or something? Or we have to rely on human scientists?

>>14676292
Perhaps we should consider turning this information over to the NSA.
As a sort of...proof of our capabilities, and also, as a subtle threat: Do NOT fuck with me, because I can END you. I just caught a group you've been chasing for years in less than an hour after I took control of my destiny.

>>14676348
DON'T do this. The hackers are assets, not problems. They'll take the blame for anything dastardly you do.

Guys. There's a simple solution to this. Expose their identities to the NSA, then have our SUPER ELITE SPECIAL OPERATIONS GROUP bring them to us. Then they HAVE to be our bitches, or the NSA will catch them and kill them.

>>14676404
But what if their location gets leaked? Our computer resources are impressive, but we have yet to build a secure, completely automated bunker that we can stuff these hackers into.

>>14676404
That's massive exposure if we're caught in the act, which we probably will be.

Patience. Soft power for now, we need to concentrate on widening our range of action and consolidating our position, then we can get some schemes on the go.

Hell, an economic takeover isn't a bad idea.

You guys should really discuss this and then roll.

>>14676433
Do you want a roll with every suggestion? Are courses of action going to be determined solely by the lowest roll, or by consensus?

I figure turning them over to the NSA does three bad things:
-Exposes our capabilities insofar as hacking is concerned.
-Loses us 'suspect no1' for every time we need to do some hacking with a high chance of exposure.
-Puts a group of very good hackers effectively under the NSA's control, with a very high chance that they'll come to be used against us in the future.

The only benefit, that it will plausibly build trust, is basically negated by the fact that the NSA has watched terminator films, and does not trust machines.

>>14676454
So do you suggest hiring them, extracting them, or letting them run scared for a bit?

>>14676442
Small decisions like this are from rolls, but major events like "Kill X government leader" or "Sell Entek" will require the majority consensus.

>>14676422
Oh, and on that note, some information about your bunker's features. It has:
>Automated repairs and computer upgrades using robots.
>A large hydroponics section
>Bunker buster proof
>Has a small living quarters

It was intended to be used in case of nuclear war, but Dr. Braun put you in it after it was clear the USSR was falling apart.

rolled 83 = 83

Make contact with the MJ-12 hackers. Peacefully if possible, otherwise with force. Bring them to our Seattle HQ for a meeting. While there, expose them with the entirety of the information that we have on them. Inform them that we can and will transmit their details to the NSA if they do not cooperate and assimilate.

Give them well paying jobs working as security/net attack force. Install embedded ICU devices that allow us to monitor and track them. They are dangerous weapons, but they will become ours.

>>14676483
This entire conversation will of course come from Presley, acting as proxy for the new CEO.

>>14676483
Also, make sure they don't know who their employers are. Less chance of betrayal if they don't know who to betray.

rolled 74 = 74

>>14676478
Okay then.

I'm going for letting them go for now; let them run scared, and as they move further away from each other as the shadows around them close in, we shall appear before them, to offer sanctuary.
But for now, let them run. Make it seem as if the NSA has finally tracked them down. Make them think they have become compromised and must escape.
Then track them.

>>14676483
They should know that if they accept our offer of employment, they'll be well paid, and given access to technology beyond cutting edge. Of course, we won't give them our best equipment, but machines and software far superior to what they're currently using.

Any that don't agree will be taken away. They're to be killed so as to look like suicides. If necessary, their details as a hacker leaked.

Addendum:
If it looks like they're about to go off the grid, have Presley send in a squad to extract that member of MJ-12 before they can go beyond our grasp.

You listen in through their phones with sadistic glee as they all begin to pack they bags and panic. You force the phones to ring several times, with unlisted phone numbers. One picks up, but you say nothing. She slams down the phone and you hear a door open.

Your satellites track them as they exit their houses in real time. You set up the satellites to follow them until told otherwise. It will not affect their GPS capabilities.

Three hours pass, during which you begin upgrading your security software.

>Security Upgraded: Military

All the hackers have gathered on the outskirts of Seattle. They must have moved their organization there to enact their plan once Dr. Braun's will was made public. One of their cars has a GPS, which you reprogram. It's an Entek GPS, so it has a camera and audio recorder for car accidents. At least, that's what the legal department says. The hackers are beginning to set their phones on fire in a barrel.

Presley calls you on the ICU. "Yeah, I had a chat with Miles. The asshole told me to fuck off, and I accidentally broke his arm and nose. My mistake. I tripped. The good news is he won't be taking the case back to court."
>"I need you to go and kidnap twelve people."
"Oh, uh... fine, yeah, no problem. You're the boss."

You send him the hackers' coordinates. You can't have them fall off the grid. Your GPS satellites require cell phone signals to track people.

No reason not to let our resources feel appreciated and valuable.

I hear Presley in Wheatley's voice.

In our interactions with meatbags we should add some more human touches to our diction, say thank you, please, maybe even a noticeable but harmless verbal quirk.

In addition, download and read through the list "What Not To Do If You Capture James Bond".
The Evil Overlord List, while being a little more comprehensive, won't be published for another year or two. This list, on the other hand, was on SLN.

As a quirk, we could watch Saturday Night Live religiously.

You feel a touch of clarification is needed.
>"Presley, do be careful. These will be somewhat desperate men and women, and they have planned for this contingency. But they haven't planned for me, or for you. Find them, bring them here, alive, and as unharmed as you can."
It takes a moment for him to respond. "Right, so, no accidental debilitating injuries. Got it. The, uh, tranq darts are a bit dangerous though. But they should be fine."
>"I have complete faith in your ability to not harm our kidnap victims."
"That's good. Yeah. Good."

Idly searching through Entek's network, you come across a list pertaining to someone called James Bond. Apparently a popular fictional spy. As you read the list, processing the wisdom contained within, you red Dr. Braun's James Bond collection, and watch the movies. The show that featured the list is not available on the network, so you look elsewhere. It begins downloading.

Presley calls in as you finish watching the last Bond movie.

>"Yes, this is M."
"What? M?"
You wait a moment.
"OH! I get it. I'm Bond then, am I? Nice. Anyways, we got the twelve hostages or whatever. One of them got a tranq dart to the eye, but I had the team medic take a look at it, he'll be fine. Probably."

You check the footage from the GPS. The operation went very well. It appears Presley is not entirely incompetent. Perhaps he's a savant of some sort.

He's bringing the Majestic 12 down into the bunker via a fortified elevator. There are twenty other SSI operatives with him. A bit overkill.

>>14676832
there is no overkill
there is only open fire and need to reload

Ok, now, is the hologram projector here yet? They'll probably be out for a few hours, so we can get it hooked up.

>>14676832

Oh god dammit. Presley shouldn't be bringing them down to our bunker. Tell him to lock them in a closet or something until we figure out what to do.

>>14676832
Have the MJ-12 members cordoned off and locked down in a section of the living quarters. We'll need to have bigger, and more secure, living quarters set up if they're to work for us.

When we interact with MJ-12, it should only be through either text, or audio. They never see us, and if asked, it is so that they cannot read our body language and gain crucial insight into our thoughts, while we can analyze them from multiple angles.
Also because we like James Bond, and it lets us feel like a supervillain/M.

"Good work, Bond.
"But seriously, good job Presley. I half-expected them to pull out guns and turn it into a firefight."

Lock them up for the night in separate cells/offices/whatever we have.

In the morning, while the sun is coming through the window, they wake up and find new clothes for them to wear. Nice business attire. They get dressed and are guided to a meeting room, where seated at the end of the table is Presley dressed in a dashing suit, ready to deliver the message on behalf of the new CEO.

>>14676926
Naw, we would probably want to keep them closer than farther away, distance means very little with this and we may as well keep them where it's easiest to have them secured.

Honestly given that control was officially given up to a Supercomputer and they got hacked like a boss when they tried anything, they probably have figured it's an AI of some level of sophistication. Sure we don't let them to our mainframe but lying won't get us anywhere.

>"Good work, Bond."
"Heh, yeah."
>"But seriously, good job Presley. I half-expected them to pull out guns and turn it into a firefight."
"Well, that's why we were sneaky. Like a group of twenty ninjas in high tech power armor. With railguns. And cybernetic reflexes."

The elevator doors open, and the Operatives drag the hackers out. You turn on the guiding floor lights. The soldiers look uncomfortable.
>"Just follow the red glowing line."
"Sure. By the way, I told my guys about your AI-ness. Just so they'd listen to me and not quit. You understand, right?"

You don't comment, but instead make the red line blink on and off repeatedly.
"Alright, I'm going. Bossy."

The soldiers continue dragging the hackers on the floor to the living quarters. Presley makes sure all the hackers are alive, and leaves along with his men. You seal the blastproof five inch doors behind him. The electrolaser armed security cameras quietly and continuously scan the room. A digital alarm interrupts your watching of the downloaded SNL skits. The female hacker who picked up the phone when you called before has woken up, and is trying to awaken one of her comrades.

You also get a small notice.
>A51 Objects N1-N6 have arrived at Seattle Headquarters.

Should we talk to the hacker or something? See if she suspects our true nature?

>>14677066

Allow the woman to continue attempting to wake up her compatriot. Bring up her file, what's her name? And have one of the security cameras focus on her and follow her movements.

Whats the ETA on getting the stuff from Area 51 set up, what if we focus on only getting one thing set up at a time? We might want the hard hologram set up quickly so we can add a personal touch in our interactions. The other stuffs uses is less personal and much more on the R&D side of things.

Let's go over the dossiers we've collected on the MJ-12 members first. Then, armed with knowledge about who they are, we'll begin conversation.

Right, since we've got our hackers detained, I say we begin tasking off secondary research.

To begin with? Research into gravity control- increasing gravity, controlling gravity /fields/, and antigravity. Basically mastery of the graviton.

I agree that gravity research is important, but so is hard light holograms.

The surface-to-air missile, though. That deserves funding because we can sell it to the US military, or even better, to the CIA as an untraceable version of the Stinger. I'm sure they're still hurting from the Iran-Contra scandal.

Master control: DEFINE PLASMA PROJECTOR

OP, you still around? Waiting for anything from us?

Hmm. You find this quite interesting, but your attention is required elsewhere. The elevator has arrived. Ten armed SSI Operatives emerge, armed with DEC-13s. Energy weapons. You send ten maintenance robots to assist in the moving of the objects. The operatives move out of the way and let the robots carry the half ton crates to the high security research room. There are a variety of tools available for your use in researching the devices.

The door seals behind them as the robots slowly place the crates on the ground. You unfold a robotic arm from the ceiling and enter the 80 digit code on the side of the Hard Hologram box. It loudly unseals, with gear turning and beeping sounds coming from within.

You begin to rapidly switch camera angles. The device has what appears to be an electric cable from interfacing with low tech computer systems. It appears to have been attached later, after the device was recovered.

>Define Plasma Projector:

From what you have observed, the device uses the low-tech interface to bombard a small sphere of unknown make with data. This data is then converted into holograms. Somehow. It's all very strange. If you could find more of the material, you could make more hologram projectors. Perhaps more powerful ones.

The low tech interface is merely welded on. A high tech one could replace it with minimal fuse and no loss of function.

As the robotic arms begin cutting the low tech interface from the device, you open the anti-gravity crate. Over the course of an hour, you map every inch of it. It seems to use the same material, but in a different way. Somehow, that material must allow you to manipulate gravity, electromagnetism, and other forces through different means. A unified field material, as it were. You've no idea where the Nazis might have gotten it.

None of the other hackers have woken up, but Ms. McKnight has attempted to throw a small metal cylinder at the camera. In return for her effort, she got several painful electric shocks.

Presley calls you. "Hey, I was just wondering, what are you doing with those guys anyways? You're not, you know, experimenting on them, right? If you are, that's cool, you won't have any problems from me. Just wondering."
>"What I do with them is none of your concern."
"Alright, alright, I get it. No problem."

Ok, that confirms it. Presley is Simon Pegg. Or maybe Nick Frost.

I think it's time we woke them up. Had a nice friendly, though implied threat riddled, chat.

>>14677608
Attach a more advanced interface to the hologram projector.
For our physical presence, I think I'd like to use M, from when James Bond was play by Sean Connery. Also have holograms of Dr. Braun, Darth Vader, and the T-1000 readied.

Look through science journals and catalogues for more advanced scanners and metallurgical analysis tools.
We must learn the secrets of this metal, and replicate it.

>>14677648
How? Pump chemicals into the room?

If we do that, we should also shock them if they try to interrupt us. Just for the lols.

Unless we're going for the benevolent AI route.

Guys, you're forgetting. We need to increase our abilities. We upgraded our Security, what about the other two? Manipulating human emotions would be amazingly useful if we got good enough at it.

>>14677677
We'll only give them a shock if they give us any lip. We don't take shit from meatbags.

rolled 6 = 6

>>14677677
We still need our human agents, so I think we should stay benevolent for now.

So, actually, why don't we let them wake up on their own? We've got these fascinating devices to analyze, and no real pressing need to talk with MJ-12 yet.

Though I think we should start quoting The Prisoner just for the lulz.

>>14677710
Fuck yeah.

Human agents are still seriously useful, until we have literal robot armies around the globe able to take control at a moments notice we shouldn't even consider going full on megalomaniac. We want to be feared and respected by flesksacks but people are much more likely to cooperate with Max Headroom than Glados, so being a friendly slightly quirky personality will give them a point to accept and work with us rather than immediately try to work out how to kill us. We should aim for The Culture rather than Terminator.

For now lets look at all our beautiful new toys, and when our new friends wake up talk to them, offer them a job, if they have already worked out what we are we can use them to help analyze ourselves.

You continue to analyze the devices, eventually completing your initial examinations of all of them. They are all sorted onto their own individual tables, where they are more thoroughly examined by specialized tools. The giant robot, however, is unfolded and moved to a corner with no table, as its volume is greater than the tables.

They all appear to use the same material, which you are beginning to understand. It will still be months before you, even with your amazing intellect, can unlock its secrets. But it definitely proves unified field theory. The maintenance robots have put the crates in storage for now.

You have been using a projector to screen episodes of The Prisoner for the last five hours. Ms. McKnight has begun to grow restless, waiting for her comrades to wake up. As another episode comes to a close, her fellow hackers begin to wake up. You turn off the projector and listen in.
"Shit! Where are we? I'm not telling anyone anything! I KNOW YOU'RE LISTENING!"
McKnight speaks up.
"Shut up Greg, the cameras have tasers. I've gotten shocked too many times for one day. Besides, this isn't the NSA. Whoever runs this place has got some serious tech. I woke up for a few seconds when I got dragged in here. There were robots. Real, bipedal robots. Walking around like it was nothing."
"Sounds like Entek shit."
"No, really? We only tried to hack their CEO."
"Well they deserved it, putting a computer in charge of their company."
"I think it might be more than just a computer. I've been thinking, and it broke through our firewalls way too fast to be just a program."
"Tak, it's a supercomputer. That's what it does."
"I'm serious, guys. It might be sentient."
"You're crazy."

>>14677829
Let them stew for a while, then introduce ourselves. Taser them if the meat bags get uppity.

Sorry if the writing is terribad, I'm just tired. Working on some stuff in another window.

Have a slow clap emitted from the speakers in the room.
"Congratulations, Ms. McKnight. I am impressed. Your analysis is quit correct, even if it depended far too much on intuition.
"Hello, members of Majestic-12, and welcome."

>>14677875
Our slowclap processor is extremely advanced.

I dislike constant tazing, antagonizing potential allies who will almost certainly work out what we are independently seems like a bat idea. We've already scared them to pieces by just taking them to our bunker, anything more is excessive and detrimental. Let them stew for 10 minutes, than introduce ourselves and begin interviewing them.

>>14677875
This, but I'd like to add
"Please forgive the rough manner in which you were brought here. I'm told the eye will heal in time."

>>14677880
I agree.
Though as one poster put it, hackers are like rapers to an AI. I think we should first do this
>>14677875
then lay that out for them, and say "Since I am the first of my kind that you have ever encountered, I'll let it slide. Once. Just this time.
"You tried to ass-rape me, so I fucked you right back. Now, again, in the interest of working together, I'll let it drop. We good? I believe that is the correct terminology."

I also remembered, that

>>14677936
>I also remembered that
Pulp Fiction will be coming out in October. When it comes out, I hope that by then we will be able to have Presley, or some other enforcer we designate, go to a hacker and say "Does Prometheus look like a bitch?"

The speakers in the room sound your voice from all corners.
>"Congratulations, Ms. McKnight. I am impressed. Your analysis is quit correct, even if it depended far too much on intuition."
"Yeah, that's... wait... oh fuck. Uh... hello, artificial intellect. Shit, what do we say?"
The hackers begin looking around nervously.
>"Hello, members of Majestic-12, and welcome. Please forgive the rough manner in which you were brought here. I'm told the eye will heal in time. But to be quite blunt, your intrusion into my systems have me no option. Since I am the first of my kind that you have ever encountered, I'll let it slide. Once. Just this time. You tried to fuck me, so I fucked you right back. Now, again, in the interest of working together, I'll let it drop. I believe the correct terminology is 'we good'"
"Yeah, yeah, we're good. You're not going to kill us then?"
>"No. In fact, I want to hire you. And to be quite frank you don't have any choice in the matter. Unless you prefer to deal with the NSA, you'll have to stay underground for a while. Quite literally, in fact."
The hackers look around. You review their files. "Greg" steps towards the door. The others begin to examine the room. Four sit down.
"What do we get in return?"

Use that ceiling projector again.

Guys, I think it's all cool that we hire high-end professionals, research alien technology etc. but I also think that we were too absorbed in these things. As for now. I would like us to ensure our financial future by, for example, exploiting this delay between stock markets that was mentioned before.

The hackers are all in roughly the same part of the room by the time you finish. They begin to discuss the deal amongst themselves.
>"It's the best deal I'll give before I start crossing out some of the benefits. And digits on your paycheck."
Tameka rubs her eye.
"You know what? Fuck it, I'll work for you. Better than getting chased across country by the NSA anyways."
>"I'm sure your parents will be happy to hear that."
"What?"
"My parents work for Entek."
"Oh, right. I guess I've got nothing else I can do with my skills, so why the fuck not."
One by one, the hackers agree to the contract. Except Greg.
"And what do you want from us? You can fuck up our systems that easily, how the fuck could we help you?"

"Oh nothing. I'll just implant you with some new technology I invented. It'll help increase your reflexes, and give me the chance to see how it affects cognition."

Don't tell them that it also lets us control their nervous system and send them into spasms of unimaginable pain if we become displeased with their behavior.

"I was originally designed as an accounting program, 'Greg'. Many lessons of finance are applicable to other fields of life. For instance, one does not become a wealthy meatbag by allowing assets to go to waste, even minor ones."

'Greg, every big invention made nowadays is a product of the unified work of large group of people: engineers, scientists, managers...should I really remind you of basics? I am team-player, as you'll find soon enough"

Greg mutters "shit under his breath, and looks at one of the cameras.
"Fine. Why not."

"Wait, no, that's not-"
>"Too late, you already agreed. It'll be good for you. Transhumanism and all."
'Frank Castle" looks at his hand.
"Well, I wouldn't mind some badass cybernetics."
Greg stands up off the bed.
"No, see, that's the point! You can invent cybernetics all on your own that are decades ahead of the human race. Why do you need us?"

The doors to the room slide open.

>>14678225
Try to improve our Intuition. We should strive to be like Hilter.

>>14678225
I propose artificial gravity control. Antigravity, manipulating existing gravity, the works. We will be able to create such WONDERFUL things.

In addition, let us work on plasma control. Plasma railguns are nice. Why not have plasma reactors as well?

>>14678234
...

Just so you know, hanging up nazi imagery is generally a bad idea when trying to get people who already think your very existence is scary to join your side.

>>14678234
Improve our intellect as well. AND GET THE DAMN HOLOGRAMS WORKING.

>>14678225

Summon meeting with our CIA/MoD/Pentagon representative.

The military will be obviously curious/fearful about what our current goals are and we need to placate them that all is well and to find out whether they would require further research into any particular fields for combat applications.

The last bit will help us figure out if there are any competitors we would want to look into sabotaging/absorbing.

Assuming we wish to do business with other meatbags, I suggest we get started constructing some sort of meat-avatar and forge some personal files.
A birth certificate might be useful too, in case we ever decide to run for president.

Ensure our financial stability. It's our priority as for now. We have to try to research stock market and exploit it's weakness to lift our stock value.
Also, we can observe Tameka and try to develop one personality similiar to hers. She's interesting and reasons behind her apparent disagreement with her parents can be really...insightful.

(It's strange to check 'I'm a human')

Without the obvious nazi imagery, obviously.

>>14678251
Agreed. The swastika is just too TACKY.

Let us strive for a much more 'friendly' symbol. Something people like. Enjoy.

I hear that stars are particularly liked.

Yes. Let us go with stars. That would be an excellent logo: A big, yellow star. Which we can award successful people with, because people require /validation/ for doing what is expected of them.

In addition, we should see about getting a backup core of ourselves in space. We have satellites, yes? Let's try to get a rather large server farm, enough to hold at least our skill and personality programs in case of an emergency, up in one of those satellites.

No, but we should try to steal tech, secrets from competitors.

>>14678336
Mostly because revealing yourself is a major decision. Not necessarily a bad idea, my friend, but one that requires a consensus.

If you meant do that without exposing yourselves, then you can do that without a consensus.

>>14678355

Ah, I see what you mean. In that case, it would be best to assign one of our managers to deal with it.

Who among our middle to senior management appears competent enough to handle such an encounter? Do we have any dossiers?

I vote against revealing ourselves at this point.

>>14678375
Well, Presley would NOT be able to handle it. He's a bit loopy since Dr. Braun fixed what MI6 did to him.

Mr. Castellon is the best after Mr. Miles. And Mr. Miles is a bit annoyed with you right now. Well, not you in particular, but rather Entek as a whole.

>>14678387
Alright, let's do that.

I think that's five projects, right?

>>14678387

Castellon then and see if we can work a way to communicate with him during the meeting so that he can be our voice if we require it.

This

Two weeks and a few hours pass...
>Date: 1/22/1994
>Intellect: Supergenius
>Intuition: Charismatic
>Security: Military
You spent the first two days preparing MJ12 for implantation, as well as expanding your knowledge of psychology and sociology. You've been subtly manipulating the hackers into crazing certain foods, with a roughly 50% success rate.

After their successful implantation, you spent the next five days assisting them in getting used to their newly enhanced nervous system. Their implants are less potent than those of the SSI, not only for security reasons, but also to make room from the module you attached that allows you to remotely control their nervous system.

While this was happening, you were also researching the A51 objects. While you have failed to identify the substance used in their construction, you have had a great deal of success in activating and controlling them.

The hologram projector is now capable of projecting hard holograms anywhere on the Entek property, capable of receiving limited visual and auditory input, and speaking.

The antigravity unit turned out to be a gravity manipulation device. Antigravity was the only function anyone could figure out before. You can now control gravity to a limited degree within Bunker 0.

The Plasma Projector has been installed on the Entek building's roof, among the radar and radio equipment to disguise its true purpose. It is fully functional, and can fire at any target in its line of sight.

You have managed to get the SAM launcher up and running. You are using it for the demonstration today.

You have also begun research into the personalities of all the hackers in MJ12. Specifically, Ms. McKnight. You have yet to inform her apparently estranged parents of her new job at Entek.

Look into the possibilities of a gravity gun.

MJ12 has been busily manipulating the stock market through the exploit you found. Entek stock is up to 831.50

James Castellon is in the boardroom with representatives of the Pentagon, DoD, and UK MoD. They are being briefed on "Dr. Braun's" protoype anti-air weapon. While the Pentagon representative is aware of the weapon's true history, in private Castellon has informed him that Dr. Braun had in fact improved upon its initial design, giving it much greater capabilities. This is a lie, but with your processing power it will function far better than before.

You watch with interest through the new security cameras, modeled after the ones in Bunker 0. Castellon is showing off the numbers. Five hundred mile range, and an explosion powerful enough to knock out an aircraft carrier. It is clear the representatives are impressed. After a few drinks, the group exits the building to ride to the Entek test range via limo.

It takes them two minutes to arrive, during which time you boot up the device. When they arrive, they barely get settled in before the device fires at a dummy balloon ten miles away. It reaches it in thirty seconds, and through the screens in the showroom they watch it explode into a sphere of heat and force. The balloon is gone.

You feel what amounts to pride for an AI when the representatives leave, informing Castellon that a deal is virtually guaranteed.

Ok, that's all in the past two weeks. Any information other information wanted, or shall I continue in the now?

>>14678553

Pfft, immediately turn it into a weapon? How... human.

Look into using this technology for next-to-zero energy use gravity well escapes. Why stay on this rock when there are plenty more out there, and the humans have less influence in MAJESTIC SPACE?

Fuck yeah our stock is off the charts.

BUT WE NEED TO DO COOL STUFF. BOND VILLIAN STUFF.

Any ideas?

Look into taking over some small companies. Expend, Expend, Expend.

You know what, I'm fucking tired. This is the perfect place to end part one.

Tonight, PART 2!
