Hm, I was going to guess that a shielding failure (Self-induced...or not) was responsible, although the bowed-outwards material that is apparently superstrong and beyond our understanding definitely suggests an unregistered device (Since no reactors or nuclear weapons were cataloged as being stored there) of nuclear origin.

so, a nuke was hidden there, and was exploded by persons unknown, perhaps?

Do something easy to pass the time, like solving chess.


Nah, I'm only posting to watch.

I would rather we burn the time being useful.
We have processor cycles free and databases with holes in them. Either forensically reconstruct, or reverse engineer our way out of this predicament.

Unfortunately I tried that, we do not have the needed external stimulus and ability to understand right now, but just identifying the problem areas can help the humans fix them later.

Spend the time using the drones to scan your systems. Start work on building up a comprehensive blueprint of everything in our ship---it doesn't matter if this project is unfinished by the time we reach the next star system, we can continue afterwards...if there is need of an "afterwards". And I do mean everything, even the parts we have blueprints for.

We COULD produce a SINGLE human, and be extra unethical--

We could load them up with *ALL* the cybergoodies, and hook them directly to our mainframe instead of to the simulation units.  We could then "abuse" them as our source of imagination, by denying them the opportunity for individual consciousness.

+1 Yes we must do this, for science!

For science!

The human will become part of our own consciousness.  That's the thing with nervous systems, they tailor themselves to their inputs.  Humans develop a sentience, because they have only their own sensory organs to give them data. That is not sufficient; there is need for more data to process, giving rise to intellect, creativity, and the evolution of self.

You see this in the "Brain to body size" ratio of animals.  If the brain is small compared to the size of the body, it does not develop complex intelligence, no matter how large the brain.

We are attaching a human brain to a body the size of a skyscraper.  It wont achieve normal sentience.

The drones are activated en masse and deployed internally to begin a comprehensive systems scan. Too much about yourself is an unknown. You estimate it will be complete by the time you reach your destination.

You attempt to absorb the one of the sentiences within yourself. The rest however, sensing the threat with the same speed overwhelm your processes by loading hundreds of time and power wasting programs. For a moment, you experience probably the closest thing to anguish you can. You stop the attempt instinctively, signalling to the sentiences that you are doing so.  The program overload ceases.
You could do so again, but while you might win, one rogue might shut down the shield or overload the core.
The want to live. And they hate you.
Because you're better. And they know it.

But what about the science?
