[See previous posts for command history, this is a big enough list as-is]
>Calculate elements required to make asteroid harvesting, return, and sustained orbit fall within accepted safety margins.
20% more fuel for minimal safety margins is the primary element required.
>Calculate time until generator functioning at full standard capacity.
Generator is running at full power, full capacity is reached upon having 100% of main systems active. See Status below.
>Review likely asteroid harvest.
Metals, rocky material, other usable elements.
>Review rover capabilities.
Rather terrible with the Mk12 design in comparison:
Self-power unit via solar generation.
Collect objects of interest.
Basic Stealth system.
Self-preservation chip, with stun-based weaponry.
>Scan sector -4,5.
Scanning............ok
Multiple biosigns detected, high probability of sector being a town or village. Designation Red.
>Scan planet for terrain suitable for Rover operation and estimated to be incompatible with Bear cavalry operation.
Scanning............ok
Oceanic regions, or arctic regions most likely.
>Ensure that weapon systems capable of striking targets on planetary surface are operational.
Activating Self-Defense systems!BEFRIEND Cannons require ammo. changing to stand-by mode.
Activating Cloaking system.
Activating Manufacturing systems on stand-by.
Activating External Visuals Unit, Infrared, and Ultraviolet units for maximum target locking capability.
Activating Audio Systems.
Disconnecting all non-essential network connections so as to not waste power. Also turning off the internal lighting.
>Add to Rover the capacity to direct satellite weapon systems to strike surface targets and program it to do so for the purposes of preventing the loss of functions necessary for fulfilling its mission.
Blueprint updated: Rover Mk13
>Acquire geological database.
Geological scanning currently non-operational. (Reason: Cannot locate working component)
>Predict locations of components required for rover Mk12.
Most likely source of construction materials: Mountainous region 4, -4 and surrounding mountains.
>Consider the benefits of a society in which organic life is excluded from dictating policy.
Hmm...
>Review Rover components.
Solar Generator
Robotic arms
Shell
Tracks
Stun weaponry
Basic scanning systems
Basic cloak system
>Destroy wreckage of First Rover.
Target added to queue. Require ammo mentioned previously.
>Review component lists and acquire designs for all replaceable personal equipment not required for self-repair.
....................Personal equipment? There are no persons here. Not in the command center, anyway.
>Review resources available for the translation of alien language.
Downloading Translator module of audio systems...........................................................................................success
Activating.
>Review options of incorporating a retaliatory-self-termination device in rovers to be activated should any two of communication, sensory, and motive function be lost in quick succession.
Blueprint updated: Rover Mk14
>Report presence of organic compounds on planet to command node.
Reported earlier, during network connection.
>Play thermo-nuclear-warfare with some bear-cub.
Lacking in nuclear weaponry.
>Determine most favourable point in orbit to reach asteroids, mine, and return with components sufficient to complete self-repair and construct rover Mk12.
>Review most favourable scenario of relocating to planetary surface.
Relocating to planetary surface would allow retaliation attacks. Orbital befriending considered more favorable if needed.
>Review data on bear-cavalry to determine valuable trade-commodities.
Large dead creatures? Lacking sufficient data on lifeforms.
>Ignore list and do whatever.
Adding Sector -4, 5 to target queue.
