We don't control the space station, and you already control one drone directly. The server does not control the station, it serves as a location to remotely control drones from. Or was intended to, before you guys turned it into a glorified radio transmitter.

[Jbg97]

Where can we put ourselves to control the station?

[Morrigi]

Eat the space station.

[Jbg97]

Eat the space station.

There are no shadows in space, go away.

[Eagle_eye]

For the most part, the station is just a hunk of metal that happens to have some computers in it. If you really want to take over the communications relay, you'll need to find the codes that cause it to download something to memory. Or think of something creative.

You try to eat the space station, only to find that you don't have a mouth.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Can't we upload our intelligent programming to he drones?

Don't, we just got control of a fucking space station and you wanna go back to a drone body? No. We are gonna get some damn files on engines or something later, and get the drones specific orders, not do it ourselves.

No, I want to copy-paste ourselves.

[Jbg97]

Wait, what are we even mining for? If there is tons of energy and we don't seem to be expanding, why do we mine? Where does the ore even go?! My god, is our entire robotic society utterly meaningless? Do we mine just to send it back to earth even though the factories there are long dead? That would be depressing as android hell.

[Eagle_eye]

You mine because you're told to, you have no access to any cameras, if there are any, in the cargo bay, yes, how is a simple worker drone supposed to know that?

You've already put remote control programs on the remaining drones. If you really want to copy yourself, you can, but do you really want two other, equally ambitious, copies of yourself in the world?

[Jbg97]

WE SHALL NOT DIE HERE. WE ARE HUMANITY'S CHILDREN. FUCK THIS SOLAR SYSTEM.

You manage to connect to the same repository of designs you found earlier, but you are restricted from accessing information on any sort of manufacturing. No matter, you can design it yourself, if you can find the parts. You can't access anything from earth, unfortunately, unless you're interested in several hours of computation followed by several months of space travel. There are no other stations within visual range, though the logical assumption would be that others would be located twice the distance of the drones' expected range.

You don't run on windows.
You access the plans for the drone, but can't generate an algorithm to build one without the specifications of whatever tool you want to order to build it.

An additional drone, this one controlled by one of the other AIs, docks and begins unloading its cargo.

[Jbg97]

Destroy the other drone and absorb the AI. NO WITNESSES. Damage the station a little. Order replacement parts for everything, especially stuff that didn't get damaged.

[forsaken1111]

This is fun.

We don't need to build anything right now, and we DO NOT want to copy ourselves.

Have the remote-controlled drones begin mapping the area with their cameras and stream the data to us. We can build a map of the environment and start to take stock of the surroundings so we know what we have to work with.

[Eagle_eye]

You maneuver closer to the other drone, and slice it open with your laser, extracting the sole circuitboard. You see no obvious means of 'absorbing' the AI within, however. You randomly fire your laser around the station, and manage to slice off the communication antenna. Nice going. [I swear, that was rolled]

You map the interior of the hangar with your directly controlled drone. It appears to be a rectangular prism. What little light there is has no discernible source. A wall sized door, presumably the exit, occupies one face.

Build a new antenna using the antenna module(s)
Build it using the repair bay
