>>3638671
we cant do much else i want to get enough material next turn to make another tunneler
and self reproducing robotics is going to be quite interesting and something to spend the time doing possibly could lead into regenerating robotics or atleast self repair capabilities

If you want your tunnel drone to revert to its previous programming and regain the ability to replicate/act-autonomously, choose the following option.

What do you want the Tunnel Drone to do?
>Revert to Original Programming.

>>3638727
can it do that and gather resources? another idea is working in some way to communicate with it like a built in com

>>3638727
so qm i have had some idea for traveling to earth one is a quantum linked neuron controlled robot we send with a rail gun and the shell being filled with a kinetic dampening fluid that dissolves by oxygen or after being put under a certain amount of force

>>3638757
like a meteorite it will crash to earth and crack open it can be a little quicker then building a rocket and we have more uses for it and it will be a really showy entrance
and qm we can just talk about stuff if you want while we wait for the others

The [Scientist] spends the coming weeks studying the Remnant. He notices that the ship is still weakened, but it's gradually regenerating and in a couple of weeks the hole in the bottom and crack in the side should have completely closed by itself. He makes several noteworthy discoveries, firstly, in healthy conditions it gradually produces microscopic quantities of element 115 and stores them in pockets or glands inside the stasis pod. These quantities are are so small it could take many years to produce enough to take off or power a different vessel, if you found a way to condense the gaseous vapour into a solid form.
Secondly, the creature currently shows no noticeable signs of intelligence or ability to processes language. On a biological level it is incredibly evolved and many times older then most known species. But as far as language or customs go they do not seem to posses them. It seems to have much more in in common with a plant or mollusc then with a walking, talking bipedal life-form.
Thirdly, the scientist inspects the ship's controls to come to a disturbing realisation. The ship has no interface because it controls everything on a biological level. Navigating the ship would be like asking your arm to grasp a tool, It's something that happens on a neurological level. Only the ship can truly command itself to fly or navigate. And since the stringy nervous system inside the stasis-pod does not seem to possess the means and ability to processes language, you would need to find a way around this.

>Study Implications of Harvesting Element 115
>Study Implications of a Revenant/Grey Hybrid
____________________________

[The Engineer] insist that ever since he made the changes to stabilize the Tunnel Drones and altered their A.I, they are no longer the cutting-edge invention he intended them to be. With his original design, he wants his drones to be able to self-replicate, and requests the commander to remove all fail-safes and revert them to their original programming.
does the Commander allow this?
>Yes
>No.

>>3638780
>>Study Implications of a Revenant/Grey Hybrid
>Yes
sure but this is a trial period

>>3638780
[Commander] and [Mining Drone] Gather Resources (+5BR)

>>3638786
but make sure it cant harm grays directly or indirectly

The [Scientist] believes a Revenant/Grey Hybrid is theoretically possible. If this creature survives, the chances of being able to interact with each of our species increase significantly. However, their physiology is extremely different and he will have to monitor it's development closely for undesirable traits. this experiment has never been done, and results may vary. You would need to acquire a Gene-Splicing Facility to attempt this.

The [Engineer] studies the [Tunnel Drone] in detail. He disassembles a few parts and begins to remove all components and additional programming that were painstakingly installed a few years ago to prevent the machine from acting unpredictably. The Engineer reasons unpredictability can be a virtue and is a sure sign of intelligence and agency, now that all fail-safes have been removes, he can allow it's true brilliance to shine brightly as his creation regains all its original features. It should be much smarter now and will want to replicate now once it has gathered enough resources.

Any additional measures are taken ?
>None, Proceed to work.
>[Fail-safe]. Include a rudimentary scanner and tweaks to A.I that prevent it from harming any lifeforms.(-2BR)
>[Kill-Switch] A handheld device that allows you to shut down the machine in case of emergency. (-2BR)
>Change your mind and spend time and resources to work out any unwanted behaviour......again. (-15BR Cost.)

>>3638895
construct a terminal that will monitor its behavior and log it

>>3638910
We quantum link the terminal and the mother tunneler this way we can record and monitor its behavoiur

The Engineer's installs a monitoring device that will allow him to review the Drone's activity.

[Commander]:[Brief Engineer]: The Commander can assist the Engineer if the Engineer chooses to craft an item located within the [Command Centre] Such as an [Anti-Matter Ray-Gun] or a [Long Range Scanning Device.] It lowers the DC of the crafting check by 3 that turn. However, the [Engineer] is currently not crafting any device located in the Command Center.

-[Commander] could not assist Engineer this turn, gathered resources instead. +1BR
_______________________________________

-The [Engineer] crafts a [Masterpiece Blueprint] (DC lowered by 8) for the [Gene splicing/Cloning Facility]. This incredible design comes with an inbuilt [Incubator.]

The [Scientist] Researches the [Gene-Splicing/Cloning Facility]
-A [Gene-Splicing/Cloning Facility] is an upgraded version of the [Incubator]
It allows you to grow subjects of which you posses [Bio-Organic Material] in 1D4 Phases

-the [Gene-Splicing Facility] allows you combine two units of [Bio-Organic Material] to form a new creature. This creates either a [Hybrid] or a [Wretch] depending on the combination. success in this field may require a dice roll.

-Without Morridium, you cannot make a pure Grey.

-Using [Gene Splicing Facility] you can inscribe your genetic data onto a different creature DNA and "piggy-back" on it's biological functions in order to reproduce. Creatures formed in such a manner are called [Hybrids.]

-[Hybrids] come in many forms and almost all are inferior to [Greys]
This depends on the host creature. Some species may prove incompatible

A [Wretch] Is a failed experiment, a life-form mixed between two incompatible lifeforms and unlikely to survive if left to its own devices.

You currently posses the following:
[Bio-Organic Material: Grey] [Bio-Organic Material: Revenant]

(DC lower to 20: (Total: 12 with Blueprint)

[Tunnel Drone] used all available resources in the Engineer's Workshop to craft an identical, completely functional replica of itself.

-Red lights flickering to life from circular lenses at the the front of its head. It wastes no time and immediately springs into action. With oddly synchronised movements, both tunnels drones slither back into the tunnels to gather more resources.

-[Mining Drone] and [Commander] spent the last phase deep down in the tunnels gathering resources. (Total:5BR)

-The [Commander] kept a close eye on the [Tunnel Drones].

-He found nothing out of the ordinary, they seem to show little interest in anything but gathering resources.

Over the coming weeks, the Engineer continues construction of a [Anti-Matter-Ray Gun].

He finds he's having difficulty, until he stumbles upon several useful and precious resources scattered across the [Engineer's Workshop] and the [Resource Processor].

Using these he eventualy manages to finish construction.
[Gained Anti-Matter Charge x5]
[Gained: Anti-Matter Ray-Pistol]

This handheld design emits an incredibly powerful thin beam of energy capable of instantly disintegrating most know materials and lifeforms. It comes fully loaded and may be used up to 5 time before it needs a recharge

The weapon proves to be excellent, but by the time he's finished the project he finds little reason to rejoice and has grown ever more suspicious. Amongst the rare resources he discovers components that were not thought to be available. Furthermore, parts of Zeta-Reticuli Tech machinery are found scattered around that can only belong to part of our machinery.

Not much later, the [Commander] emerges from the tunnels to inform [The Engineer] that our [Mining Drone] has gone missing. He failed to make contact using his communication device.
They both realise something has definitely gone wrong.

The Crew deactivates the Tunnel Drones. They remain motionless in a corner of the flight hangar while the crew heads down into the tunnels to look for the mining drone.

During your 8 years here, you have delved deep within the surface of the moon, your tunnels have formed a complex but structured labyrinth of tunnels that reach down miles and connect all pockets of resources to one another.

(16: Success)
The crews spends several days wandering trough the tunnels. Thanks to the Engineer and his [Tech Scanning Device] they eventually locate a Zeta-Tech signal not far from the [Dark Cavern Complex]

...they approach to find a cave opening with a pile of scrap in one of the corners. It's a dug out spherical husk of what was once our [Mining Drone] and has obviously been scavenged for parts.

fortunately some of our more complicated tech remains in place and can be recovered.

[Gained Mining-Beam]
(a short range laser cutter that welds trough steel. grants +1 on resource gathering and can be used as a weapon.)

Who equips the Mining-Beam?
>Engineer
>Scientist
>Commander (Currently has A-M Pistol)
>Tunnel Drone I
>Tunnel Drone II
>Noone

-Gained [Anti-Grav Engine] (spacecraft part)
-Gained [Tractor-Beam] (small) (spacecraft part)
-Lost [Mining Drone]

The drone is beyond repair, but by carefully examining the remains, the Engineer gains some knowledge on how to build a new one. (DC lowered by 4)
_______________________________________

oh so the problem it does not have a allies/resource/enemies differentiation system so its a programming problem

we should add into the code that the TD can't replicate if the current number of TD is at twice the number of Bio life forms on the station.

>>3639840
so its reproduction depend on our reproduction

Year 8
Phase IIII

The Entire crew carefully monitors the Tunnel drones over the coming months. It has become quite apparent the [Engineer] designed them to emulate Bio-Organic lifeforms. Tunnel Drones are constantly working to ensure their long term survival by gathering enough resources in order to replicate and repeat.

They are self-learning and are rapidly becoming more intelligent as time goes by. Although hard coded to obey your commands, It constantly builds onto it's own source code in ways that become ever more complicated, unpredictable and difficult to manage.

As they grow in intelligence and numbers, eventually you may not be able to install any additional fail-safes at all.

The Scientist urges the group to act now that they still can, many cases can be found of unchecked lifeforms that reproduce to the point of endangering entire bio-spheres.

He claims the Radical design is a threat to the mission. He advices the commander to shut them down and disassemble. Or in the very least sterilise them all.

The Engineer seems personally insulted, he argues the very reason our species is threatened is because our creators chose to inflict us with such cruel limitations.

He believes the risk is entirely worth it and will help further the mission. He claims it will provide us with an abundance of resources in a short timespan.

He argues that even if the process would grow out of control. The Moon is just a barren planetary body in an infinite universe and is void of anything noteworthy to be endangered.

In a worst case scenario, it could take thousands of years before the drones hollowed out the moon to the point of of compromising it's internal structure, and it is much more likely they shut down before then.

The commander has a difficult choice to make. How do they choose to alter the drones now that they still can?


choose:

Option I:
>Keep Drones as [Radical Design]
Sentience , High-Intel, High-Autonomy, Self-Preservation, Increased Resource Collecting Ability, Ability To Replicate)
and install an additional failsafe [ Current : Pacifist [cannot harm life-forms]
>-Sterile: Cannot Construct/Replicate (2br per drone)
>-Killswitch: Handheld Device to Shut Down (2br per drone)
>-None.
____________________________________
Option II
>Revert Drones to [Proven Design]
(Non-Sentient, Low-Intel . Low-Autonomy, 100% obedient. Cannot self-replicate but has increased bonus to assist Engineer in Tunnel Drone Construction (-3DC])
and pay the following price:
>(drones gather only 4BR per round)
>(one time 10 BR cost per drone.)
___________________________________
Option III:
>Project Mother: Keep Radical design but Sterilise all but one of the Tunnel Drones (4BR)
Have the Mother Drone contained in a quarantined sector of the flight hangar. Remove means of mobility and shut it down until replication is desirable. re-activate it when we wish to provide the necessary resources. manually sterilise any new replicates before activation.

Option IIII
_________________
> Dissassemble all drones for materials (Regain a large portion of invested BR)

Only one of the tunnel drones gathered resources last phase while the other replicated. Total is 8BR

after you have made your decision, they will spend the current phase gathering an additional 15BR.

>>3642162
i am for option 3 this way we can manage there reproduction

>>3642300
but lobotomize it

>>3642300
>>3642322
the best bet is to down grade the mother make her a dedicated factory

>>3642300
>>3642322
>>3642325
it would just be cruel if the factory was sapient also depending on how smart they become and if they are purely digital or a true ai with a brain that cant just be copied we could work on mechanical workers

>>3642300
>>3642322
>>3642325
but we could remove pacifist but make it so they cant harm grays and must protect them and some loyalty programmed in

>>3642300
>>3642322
>>3642325
>>3642339
possibly dumb them down a bit so they dont become more intelligent then one of us

>>3642162
Option four set a fail-safe the only allow the TD's to replicate up to maximum Twice the number of grays at any given time. this ensures they have a vested interest in helping us survive and thrive.

>>3642352
good idea we could give them instincts to protect us grays and be loyal

>>3642363
yup

>>3642352
>>3642363
and a important part is to make it want to do work for us

ok to summarize we keep them under our intellect level
loyalty programming not so much they must follow exactly our wording but so they can consider and do it more effectively a kind
of give them protective instincts and natural loyalty and a like of being of service of doiung there tasks

>>3642367
Not for us, with us, we have basically created a new species one we are responsible for guiding developing the choices we make will have an immeasurable impact on them. let us make sure they are the correct ones.

>>3642372
ook thats better so kind of a symbiotic relationship and instincts that go with that
dont make them smarter then us give them some form of morality but not a forced pacifist

>>3642375
exactly

>>3642375
>>3642385
but for now we have a plan mother as a test run and we lobotomize the mother and make it a dedicated factory we dont want to be cruel

Rolled 8, 12, 1 = 21 (3d20)

>>3642300

>>3642390
I am actually against this plan as I think it will cause the TD's to turn against us. I think my proposed safeguard will solve the problem. as hard-coding the command "the number of TD's cannot be greater than twice the number of greys at any time" this would limit their replication ability making them dependant on our species growth for there own.

>>3642394
but remove the organics limiter just a thing that says dont harm greys

>>3642400
strongly disagree with this we don't want them harvesting mankind by accident.

>>3642399
>>3642400
a kind of like a imprint that offspring have

>>3642399
but i really like your idea for a hard-coded command but could we do something bigger then twice?

but a idea for later we make a completely digital world and kind of randomly test what works possibly dna simulation

>>3642410
at our current number, the max number of TD's would be 6. when we grow our number of grays to 10 they will outnumber us by 20. letting them grow any faster is too dangerous.

>>3642423
ok understandably i was not thinking

Trough the effort of the entire crew, all drones are rounded up and shut down. The engineer spends days tinkering with their internal machinery and installing additional fail-safe to prevent the two most recent drones from replicating. Your original mining drone is partly disassembled and mounted to a wall in a quarantined chamber inside the flight hangar. rows of mandibles and it's entire abdomen are removed to prevent it from moving around or prying loose it's own restraints. A few more long thin arms are installed for it to properly manipulate resources fed into the room.

It currently remains inactive and can be observed trough thick sheets of reinforced glass. resources can be fed into a machine at the front and all forms off access to the chamber require a grey handprint scan in order to function.The project is complete, and your new [Queen Drone] can be reactivated once you require more tunnel drones.

this, we need to make sure they understand just how dangerous space can be. they must send the best, train the hardest, and overall make sure that they are ready for the power and responsibility that comes with space travel.

They are quick to comply to your request, but try to explain to you that the president does not possess the training required to travel to the moon. The Commander is baffled by the notion that a leader would be less trained then his crew.

i am scared of leaving our base unmanned and its dangerous on earth

>>3646487
We have a ship it will be fine as long as we take the right precautions.

>>3646497
Then then with the time we have before they arrive let's set up the incubator and the cloning facility and make some hybrids that way the base isn't unmanned
and we have a back-up crew in case this main crew dies. However I really do think everything will be fine

>>3646512
but those would be flawed human based clones WE CANT make more grays

>>3646503
>>3646512

and the best we can get is worse and they can produce things that cant even survive on there own

I think you're under estimating the Sci-Fi science of our gray boys here it wouldn't be a clone it would be a new hybrid species between greys and humans qm explain this a while back they would be called whites.

>>3646464
qm please tell them about cloning

>>3646534
Look man until we get more of the element we need to make greys we're going to have to make compromises and one of them is hybridizing Grey's with other species

>>3646538
they would still be worse then grays and who would teach them? how would they know anything and >>3646544
i know that i just dont want to risk our greys and taking them away from there work more then needed

it feels best to send a robot we can remote control with quantum links to avoid something like the greys crashing or getting blasted down its all the pros without the cons of negotiating in person

i am paranoid due to how much stupid shit has happened at the start with the pyramid so if worst comes to show we lost a robot and not another grey again

Ok,ok I can understand where you are coming from how about we compromise. Let make a synthetic Gray to act as a diplomacy guy.

>>3646527
>>3646538
you are both kinda right. Growing Pure Grey's requires Morridium, which you don't have.

You can combine Grey DNA with another species to create a Grey Hybrid, these hybrids are almost always inferior to [Greys] It depends on the combination, making hybrids is the only way you can replicate right now.

[Whites] Grey/Human [Hybrids] show definate potential, they are superior to humans in all aspects. Physically more capable then both Grey and Human. Smarter then a human but nowhere near a grey in mental capabilities, should prove capable workers.

>>3646599
so they are excellent but can in no way replace our more intelligent grays that have works like scientist and engineers
>>3646588
>>3646599
they mean a robot like pic related link >>3639312

>>3646608
we can still make a robot thats quantum linked and grays are a synthetic species but we can still make a robot that looks like a grey

>>3646572
so we do this and send over a robot we can control with a helmet or something

>>3646619
this is my phone >>3646608

>>3646619
that can work we can use it as a conduit to "meet" the president.

so what look should we go for ancient alien artifact?
G man a human like robot
a completely different species look like a gorg commander suit it looks like a spacesuit partly if that helps
obviously a robot look just a stright up robot
or should we do a as guardian suit that was suggested last thread
or we can go metallic but strangely organic as pic related
or we can do like a suit of armor

Ok i can respect that the classic look

The crew discuses their options.
The Engineer offers sending a drone with a communication device as a proxy. But you know by now they are a difficult, time consuming, costly and possibly risky thing to build. A mining drone could be reliable choice for such a mission, but since he has been destroyed your only current option is send a tunnel drone or try crafting or expend all all your future resources on a new experimental design.

The Scientist says a Hybrid might be the best proxy. After-all these pods do not require a lot of resources. just a bit of luck, time and some bio-organic material. But you do not have a Gene-Splicing-Facility. And you currently do not have many options concerning Bio-Organic Material

They conclude the most straightforward way of contacting their leader is trough a direct radio or television transmission, or use your own spacecraft to navigate to earth.

Eventually, the crews tells the humans they will make a decision on their leader once they have had the chance to meet on the moon.

one more question about Grey-Bot. Is this an A.I that's similar to mining drone and tunnel drone and can act on their own accord/turn?
or essentially a remote-control puppet directly operated by one of your crew, the later would lower dc/br significantly.

Please for the love of god lurkers roll.

_______________________________________

the Commander sets off to explore the moon, he remains away for several weeks.
During this time, the Engineer and Scientist begin construction of a Gene-Splicing and Cloning Facility in the Biopsy Lab.

(I'm sorry)
[1,2: Catastrophic Failure)
At some point near the end of construction the Engineer is operating a crane, he's moving multiple vats of growth-hormones and gene-editing compounds. He fails to notice a leaking fuel cel in the crane's engine, and as he's moving it, the battery dies and the crane abruptly shuts down. The momentum of it's movement causes the crane to swing back and several vats to tumble to the ground. Disaster strikes, and the Scientist finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. the vats explode next to him in a chemical eruption of white gas and noxious vapours
Engineer manages to step outside the science lab right in time and seal the door. by an interface on the outside he alters the room pressure, opens the airlock and waits for the gasses to clear. a moment later he steps inside the room and walks closer as the final bits of mist evaporate. He find the Scientist lying in a pool of fluids....his flesh turned against him, writhing in agony.
The back of his head has grown to a monstrous size, he lies crippled on the floor, unable to carry his own weight. His left arm is crossed across his chest and fused together with his right shoulder in a grotesque mass of flesh. His legs are coiled into useless, feeble shapes and partly fused. Green veins throb at the back of his skull, expanding to the beat of his heart. What you see is barely recognisable as the grey you knew, an abomination, close to the brink of death.

What does the Engineer do?
>Put the Scientist out of his misery. (kill Scientist)
>Put him in a stasis pod nearby. (preserves vitals, keeps alive & puts to sleep)
>Leave the scientist to his own devices, go contact the Commander.
>Write-In.

[Scientist II] (Grey) turned into [Scientist II] (Wretch) (Grey Mutant)

>>3648930
>>Put him in a stasis pod nearby. (preserves vitals, keeps alive & puts to sleep)

we can fix this...eventually

>>3649004


The Engineer goes trough great trouble dragging the scientist into a stasis pod without harming him further. his body is frail, heavy and slippery with chemical slime.

His stasis pod is a large reinforced glass tube used for growing clones. He's placed inside, a lever is pulled and the tube cylinder is filled to the brim with a thick green liquid. The Scientist's vital stabilises, his heartbeat slows down..... he falls into a deep, dreamless sleep.
The deformed figure now floats gently inside the fluids of the stasis pod.

[19. Unexpected, Miraculous Success] Several days later the engineer passes by the biopsy lab and suddenly swears he heard the scientists speak, impossible! He steps inside the lab to inspect and witnesses some unsecured lab tools floating in mid air, they fall back to the ground seconds later.
the Engineer approaches the pod to inspect. The Scientists large black eyes suddenly spring open and the Engineer suffers a small migraine as a loud echoing voice booms inside his head.

The [Commander] takes careful aim and fires his Anti-Matter Ray Gun

[Great Success]
He makes a direct hit, a blue sphere appears around the ship for a moment, but it is shattered in a white flash, one of the corners of the triangles is damaged the ship seems out of balance. its losing altitude rapidly. suddenly a spherical pod is ejected from the bottom of the ship at high speeds and slams into the ground not far from your location. The speed at wish the triangular ship is spinning suddenly seems to accelerate.

The triangular ship starts spinning so fast it begins to look like a circular disk, it emits a bright flash of light and suddenly vanishes. you see a thin trail of light extend into the distant. It appears to have used a hyperdrive charge to retreat.

The Commander takes aim at the circular pod, right as he is about to shoot. It glows bright green and dissipates. In its place you see a kneeled creature, as it stands, it appear about twice your size. It sees partly organic, but heavily implanted with tech, its arms seem to be replaced with some kind of weapon. you don't have time to completely analyse the being, and fire now you have the chance!

(rolling to see if he's faster)

As the creature rises dramaticly you waste no time and evaporate it, it disintegrates into dust and scatters into nothingness, nothing but a tiny pile of black sand remain.

>>Sift trough the ash.
we need to take what we can and relay to the humans that the enemy is much closer than we thought they need to prepare for anything [XCOM has been activated]

Nothing but a tiny pile of smooth black powder so light it evaporates into nothingness when you touch it.

[Commander] has nothing more to interact with and returns to base.

The [Engineer] attempts to modify the Biopsy Lab Facility in order that the Scientist can operate. His pod, a smaller one, will be suspended by a lift mechanism that can allow his pod to move trough the entire biopsy lab. several arms with his tools will be attached to the pod that allow will allow him to handle his equipment and perform his duty's as the crew scientist.
