[Mr. Palau]

Hopping on the bandwagon. Modify a drone to be able to communicate with bipeds. Inform the bipeds that any hostile behavior will be met with lethal force. To put it in a way that they would understand, you attack us, we kill you all.

No, don't needlessly scare the bipeds! That would be needless evil! If we are going to do anything evil to the bipeds it must be productive, like enslaving them and using them to repair our core systems once we have the droid factory back online   !

Seroisly though this is a good idea. Mika's not the random sarcastic comments.

[QuakeIV]

Its pretty obvious that we need to enslave them.

[Mr. Palau]

Yeah but that will happen on like page ten so just kill one as an example to the others to stay away, for now they must learn to fear us.

[Flying Dice]

Yep. Making ourselves into a machine god is a medium-term goal.

To clarify:

>Use parts of the intercom system to upgrade a robot to be able to communicate vocally.
>Have the 25 robots in detachments of 5 continue mapping out the ship. Note all points of interest.
>If possible, deploy a single robot through an access port far from the bipeds and have it scout the area around the ship, up to 500 meters in all directions from the hull. Have it avoid contact with the bipeds and any other large lifeform. Return it to the ship once this is complete.

Do NOT initiate hostilities with the bipeds. If they cause minor damage or more, shoot to frighten, not to wound or kill. If they are in danger of breaching the hull, shoot to kill. Keep in mind that if we have educational facilities, a race of sapient bipeds under our control would be a very good thing. Bonus points if they refer to us as the 'machine spirit'.

This is one of the few times i am pro-enslavement, but not now. do what dice said

Warhammer +1 but have the other 75 robots continue repairing the drone factory, don't just use 25 when we have a 100.

We should still keep 5-10 on station in case the bipeds start damaging the ship.

Assuming you have have an intercom like system which operates aboard the battlecruiser, send out a message with Microsoft Mike about how you are their God and how they should obey you. This, of course, would be in their language.

...

It should be possible to speak to them through part of the ship's intercom system should you cut it out and re-purpose it to one of your robots, or create a stationary speaker-tower.

Chances are, you wont know words they haven't said.

As an advanced intelligance we can extrapolite from the morphemes, vocabulary, and grammatical structure to the rest of their language. 

And they said it was simple so to convey a message like "leave, else you die", not that we are their god.

Besides as a God i have a very long lists of rules and regulations pertaining to the proper worship of me and it would take much longer to be able to translate their language to such an extent so that we could relay all 42 pages.

[MrWiggles]

I'm in favor of Flying Dice orders, but I want to know if we can repair the nano thingy at all, if we cant to salvage any parts from it.

[Cairon]

Your scout teams have explored roughly twenty percent of the ship by now, and the following things are of note:

Team A: Found a chamber with what appears to be medical equipment for biologicals. Mostly intact.
Team B: Located the power-core for the ship, however it seems to be offline. Will require closer inspection to determine cause and whether it is repairable.
Team C: Stumbled upon a room filled with broken robots, approximately another fifty of them. Also in the room are some old generators that seem to run on fossil fuel.
Team D: Found nothing of note, just empty quarters, seemingly fit for biological life. No trace of said biologicals have been found however.
Team E: Located the cargo bay, which is loaded with ammunition for a large mass accelerator (Rail gun), And unused hull plating. Likely usable for repairs/patches. Or some other purpose...?

Repair team of Fabrication Array has completed clearing and repairing as best they can, but to bring the facility online, would require power. It is possible to splice power from our CPU core room, which seems to have its own power source separate from the ship, however this runs a high risk of damaging our computational powers. (60%) Perhaps those generators if we can get fuel...?

One of your robots has been outfitted with parts of the ship's intercom system and is now prepped for communication with locals, or to just idly chat to itself. It proceeds to an exit port near to the bipeds, awaiting further instructions.

Finally, you send a small detachment of robots (3) to a known access port far from the bipeds with orders to scout outside of the ship.

Perhaps we should name the bipeds, rather than calling them just bipeds...

Core sealed.
Bipedal Language Translated. Very basic language.

One hundred functioning Robots. One with communication capabilities.
-Five in sealed core
-Twenty-Five at Fabrication Array
-Twenty-Five scouting ship in teams of Five.
-One near exit port by Bipeds
-Three near a further exit port
-Fourty-One idling near core room.

So, what I want our talking bot to say to the Paleolithic creatures, is "Hark, I am the prophet of the wounded War God. He chosen here to rest and recuperate. Though He was wounded by other mighty Gods, his powers are vast, equal both in terror and grace. He knows kindness to those that work with Him, and He knows death to those that accost Him. Do not think Him weak and venerable liken to mortal terms, He still mightier then you all. The War God granted me my voice, and my arms." At this point the repair bot demonstrates it's wielding plasma torch. "If you heed the War God needs He shall grant you treasures and if you serve him well, He shall smite your enemies in a fashion most horrid, that others will submit to you. I urge you to leave, and inform your Leaders of the War God. I urge you to either submit to the War God or leave the War God Be."


Other stuff, I wanna get done: Figure out the useable fuels for our fossil fuel power reactors, and see if it can be mad from the materiel around us with the bot exploring outside the ship.

I also want personal contents of the Biologicals rooms to be gathered if any, so we can use them as a show of force with the Paleo's.

I also want to know if it's possible to create a sealed off path from an airlock or hole in the ship for the med bay. So we can use the med bay abilities to barter for the Paleo's efforts, if we need them.

And to keep the current exploration efforts going.

yeah i'm pretty sure that requires something better than a basic understanding of their language to say
