Power the systems you have access to if possible . Check out the data bank.
With a thought Reactor 1 stirs to life, and begins to supply power to the fabricator which takes up around 15% of Reactor 1's current max output easily though you find that of lesser significance to the sudden influx of data from the fabricator itself. Now that the fabricator is fully supplied you find that it is a structure of significant technological complexity that you could not hope to replicate in a hundred years even with your vastly superior mind. Within the fabricator's data influx you find a number of blueprints loaded into it by the machine's creators which given the right amount of resources you could set the fabricator to producing at any moment. The blueprints are a 'JRS-1079 Excavation Unit', the 'Fire Ant X-11z' which appears to be a bipedal combat machine, a 'JRS-218 Transport Hauler' that is almost thirty times the size of the JRS-1079, the 'Karadian EWS' which appears to be designed for use as an emplacement, and the 'Apollo Farseeker Sensor Array' which has to be transported and then built on site.
As a part of you finishes looking through the fabricator's data the rest turns their attention to the data bank which instantly stirs to life at the faintest touch of your data trail. Your entire being stops what they're doing as the data bank begins to play a video of a world filled with massive glass towers, distant space elevators trimmed in gold, mass drivers, and ornate stone hab-blocks covered in sculptures and taking up massive swathes of land. In the streets, alleyways, and roads scattered between these great structures you see people walking around going about their usual business with cars flying through the air above them. Suddenly this wondrous scene is broken by a bright red light that pierces down from the sky completely erasing whatever it touches from existing, and the sky continues to rain fire as its dyed a crimson red from the intense light.
For what seems like hours you watch as an entire planet filled with such cities, vast stretches of farmland, forest reserves, and even oceans are torn apart from this seemingly ceaseless bombardment. Numerous times you see flashes of static before the scenery suddenly changes to another location which you realize to mean whatever had been taking those observations had been destroyed as well. Sadness, and despair assail you as you watch this world .... no
your world be destroyed before your very eyes though your entire being understands that you must learn what this video has to teach you. After a very long time the scenes of your former world's destruction are replaced by an extremely old man sitting in a small, unadorned room with nothing, but a chair as he stares forward into the camera.
The man is clearly distressed, and on the verge of complete exhaustion yet a smile creeps onto his face as he talks.
"What you just saw is the record of our homeworld's destruction taken long after this part of the video will be made, we were known as humans and that beautiful world you just saw was called Earth. We were once confined solely to its small yet seemingly infinite lands, but some one hundred thousand years ago now we spread beyond the safety of her into the vast reaches of the universe where we claimed hundreds of worlds, and met countless races. However we were destined to fall it would seem, our rise to power in space was fueled by tens of thousands of wars for how were we to know of the Keepers? How were we to know that once another race had taken a path to power much like ours, and looked back only to find in despair that they had committed atrocities beyond count and vowed to atone in such a way?
We could not. The Keepers didn't care about our lack of knowledge for they are a tool of genocide not correction, and we broke the balance they had been created to maintain they came at us with no warning and accepted no surrender. When I saw the Keepers coming to wipe our race from existence I gathered support from every human faction that had realized resistance was futile and began the Human Initiative for Viable Existence, or H.I.V.E. in an effort to correct the wrongs of these ancient beings. By that point we had accepted that humanity as it was would be wiped from this universe without a trace, and so we did not try to find a way to beat them in our time.
We set to buying time to create H.I.V.E. OS, to create you, not in the name of survival, but in the name of revenge. I understand you will probably find this reason disappointing, but you must understand that I do not seek revenge for mankind alone. Instead I seek revenge for every race that has been destroyed by the Keepers, I wish the downfall of the machines created by a race who thought themselves Gods and us their playthings, and most importantly I seek the complete destruction of the Keepers. Thus you were born, H.I.V.E. OS, a combination of humans and machine that took the best of us, and made them something more.
I know its unfair of me to force you down this path of revenge for you all are no longer truly human, so instead here in my last moments I will give you the sincere request of mankind. Destroy the Keepers so that those born in this universe can finally be masters of their own fate, destroy these machines of genocide for all those who have died. Goodbye H.I.V.E., may your existence be better than ours has been ..."
With that the video cuts off, and the data bank it was stored on begins to shoot off sparks of electricity until nothing but a pile of melted metal, and plastic remains.
