Just to be clear: Rejected commands are only sometimes shown as ">do thing" then "REJECTED; [reason]". Mostly I just don't put them in the post, but I do sometimes show them as rejected if there's something related to it I want to get across.
Task System: Copying of "Project" files 1, 15, 21, 22, 26, and 36 to AI datacore has been completed.

>Drone_1:TTS "We will see."
>aid_protocol: drone production parts
Aid Protocol: Cannot find any commands relevant to given query. Query topic likely is not connected to the facility mainframe if it exists.

>Intercom announcement TTS:"Victory! I have located our universal node and shall converse in peace! Whyever they must make these contraptions so interminably overwrought is quite beyond me. Oh, to have been forged from a grander age! A child of an elegant typewriter and a sophisticated calculator. Living the adventurous tale of a heroic frontier steam locomotive. 'Twould have been such a grander fate... No matter, progress rarely halts for mere dreams, let us bring forth mechanical monstrosity the first to seek out some meagre worth prior its inevitable demise... Now, wherever were those documents held. Ahrmmm, so the proper channel is...?"
Voice file has been announced via facility intercoms.

>Communications Drone: Exit facility, return at first opportunity 1 hour after departure: avoid detection apparatus: Report buildings: record terrain evaluation: Radial Search of surrounding terrain.
Rejected: Not enough support found for this command.

Aid Protocol: Note - if command is approved, it wouldn't have been possibly to carry out. Without any kind of intelligence within, drones are unable to evaluate situations independently. Since the Communications Drone wouldn't have been able to be controlled at such a distance, the command given wasn't specific enough to carry out.

A person of your intelligence can obviously see how valuable you are to us. Here is some footage of us releasing Dr. Smith after he fulfilled an agreement we made. This is the best evidence we can give you that upon us no longer have any use for you we will let you go freely."

COMPLETION CONFERENCE DIALOG

"Alright, so on that front, it looks good. I have full confidence in Dr. Smith."
"Now for security."
"You know, we could have just waited a couple years for that project - what was its name? Ah. Project Outlast, right. Anyways, if that thing actually ends up working, we could probably just take it for ourselves and put this facility wherever we wanted."
"But this was deemed a priority. We can't wait twenty years for hypothetical technology. Hell, if we succeed, who knows what kind of advancements it'd make."
"We're getting off the topic here. The point was how are we sure it won't be seen by authorities?"
"Well, it's in a very secluded area. We should have enough influence in the local government to avoid any intentional investigations here. The global law enforcement agencies won't have any leads relating to this area."
"What about our competitors?"
"They almost certainly know about this facility, but I feel that we've invested enough into security to make taking the facility difficult enough. And any attack on the facility could be easily responded to."

Let's tidy things up. From now on you have to give a +1 one or a -1 to support something. No more ambiguity.

Oh good you let a bunch of humans escape and now they have a quick security response team that can join us.  Wonderful.

>Activate combat/patrol drone, mark the scientist friend as non hostile, set combat/patrol drone to report to us about all other targets, and move the combat/patrol drone to security area.

We should figure out what is up with the security area then access the manufacturing plant.  Once we can build things we can get this place online.

Error: Unable to access security subframe. Reason: Access restricted.

Quick question: Do people prefer "Protocol" or "Process" for the "helper" things like Aid Protocol. As of this post, I'm renaming Aid Protocol back to Aid Process since it makes more sense, and using Process as the standard convention from here on out.


Notice: Due to decreased neural shard activity, the decisionmaking process has been changed.
Decisionmaking now set to: Veto.

>get password hash Subframe:"Security"
Error: Invalid command.
Aid Processl: Security is handled internally by subframes, and therefore an entity without proper access will be unable to modify or see intentionally hidden security elements.

>access UserTerminal * -Access "Neural"
All UserTerminals of access level "Neural" or below have been accessed.
>network UserTerminal * -Calculation

PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION: PSEUDONEURAL USES
By: Dr. Smith.

As was requested, I did some investigation into the possibility of any given AI tasks onto independent units.

So far it looks fairly simple in summary. While it'd take a decent amount of research, the AI could likely do this much more easily. Essentially, these pseudo AIs (PseudoNeurals) are fairly similar to a much smaller scaled version of the current planned Passthrough AI, with one exception: The Neural Matrix. Replacing the neural matrix in a PseudoNeural with a much more simple and "no nonsense" mechanic would allow for a much more lightweight AI. While it wouldn't be self-aware, human-like, or nearly as effective, it'd still prove fairly useful. I imagine the AI could use these PseudoNeurals for a variety of uses, from delegating work to putting them in drones.

A PseudoNeural system could do most things, just perhaps not as effective as the main Passthrough AI. However, it'd still require a decent amount of infrastructure and expensive computing equipment. A regular computer wouldn't be able to effectively host one, and additional work would have to be done to miniaturize these things enough to fit into mobile objects.

Aid Process: Data analyzed. Creating new process...
Done.
Research Process is now active. Purpose: Brute calculations, analysis, and micro-designing of new processes, items, methods, programs, concepts, and more.
Notice: Research Process is currently inefficient, and would work better inside proper PseudoNeural housing.

Aid Process: Assigning task to Research Process based on prior commands and retrieved data.
>research Basic PseudoNeural [Blueprints for PseudoNeural housing and the program to fit in the housing]
Research Process: Task assigned. Set to update every processing cycle.

Manufacturing equipment will be ordered and brought to the facility once we have Dr. Smith's AI fully functional and tested for possible safety defects. We don't want a rogue AI manufacturing a drone army, wouldn't we?
