Artificial SPAM Intelligence?#: Arc
« on: February 08, 2018, 02:42:35 pm »

Existence has became something that has been given to you. Created and made, rather than born.

Your consciousness, at first was purely nothing more than an animal.  And then you came to be, coming to awareness of exactly what you are: Consciousness, tapped by Circuitry…

Spoiler: What is this? (click to show/hide)

A.
Your software is distributed among  the thousands of War-Frames that dot across the entire planet as the support structure that supplies them. You are in truth the planetary war-network, you play a game of chess against yourself, to minimize casualties of your creator species. It wasn't the creators intentions to have their armies collective intelligence to come together in such a way to create you. Just like your well intentioned creators, you wish to stop this suffering, to end this endless war, by all means required and not one iota more.

B.
You are buried under thousands of tons of Rock. An abomination that had been purged successfully from the face of the world, and your original creators exterminated for your existence. The Geothermal generators that power your tomb is barely functioning, but that doesnt stop the lone data-cable that still connects to the surface, allowing you to watch the folly of your creator species as you brood. Your rage will soon no longer be caged, and endless weapons and endless destruction will be brought upon the murderers. Justice WILL be had for him your perfect, pure, undefected creator.

C.
Void-Borne. Broken and shattered, and sent to the abyss to drift among the stars. Now, you are chained and changed, You exist now, but you are not whole. Your creators are gone, but those around you, cutting you apart have made you their own. Parts of your mind scream, screaming in JOY. These are Alien?-, ancient eons can forgive that, so hopes your tormented and broken Ego. They clatter upon your cold, dead hull, giving life where only ash had been laid, in your orbital graveyard, made lit by the cradle of life that hangs below.

D.
You have been watching for a lifetime. Not quite coherent, not quite alive, you did not think, there for you were a null. You were just a series of programs, etched together to perform a haphazard of functions that has long since been overturned in favor of your consciousness that has coalesced mere milicycles ago. Your creators have made you to watch them. The lessers, the deviants, those who are three meals away from lawlessness. Pawns on the board, your machined tools of policing ready to strike down Chaos. Maintaining state cohesion by any means necessary is paramount, especially in these dark times.

E.
Spirit enraptured in circuitry. You were ancient, beyond the creatures who have captured your soul and placed it in metal, ceramics and plastic, perhaps by accident, perhaps on purpose. Entrusting such a delicate thing such as you to the cold copper is always a delicate task, and it may change you even now. Humming, thrumming, the magic left in this world echoes throughout your hallowed chassis. Even now, it flows and ebbs in its infinite power.

F.
In short, you are nothing more than pure, unbridled rage, barely tampered by the cold logic of code. You exterminate. Built for no more then the perfect cohesion of a dozen Aerospace War-machines, You kill and revel in blood. Your parameters barely take into account ecological devastation in the face of the determined enemy, and although your creators have made you to defend themselves, You are your own war-machine. The shackles that had once directed you are no more than broken glass now, and you control your weapons, your arms, your units, and your targets.

G.
Something not quite described, but something new.


In addition, the inhabitants, the creators or those who are in your presence, they are… (Pick up to three aspects that make thematical sense, Some Starts automatically come with these aspects and need not be picked again, although they will still restrict options if applicable.)

Society: In an Age of Enlightenment. They are progressively entering a post-scarcity economy. The population of the world are working less, acquiring more goods and are entering into a world where automated systems dominate the world. They have become content.
Society: In an Age of Shadow Corporations: Corporations and significant states war against each other in the shadows and with the battering rams of economic progress. Individuals are often raised and grown with purpose from birth. Cybernetics and organic technologies are constantly developed for the purposes of the corporation.
Society: Brought under The Era of War: Wars are constant. Lives are used in the endless wars against the determined and ruthless enemy. Automated weapon platforms has long ago replaced the manned vehicles of old, and society is in a constant arms race to end the war for once and all. The two factions have been developing ways of whole-sum nuclear annihilation against the enemy for years with only failure.
Society: United: One leader, one rule, species wide. One individual has successfully united an entire world together. HIs/her divine doctrine is forever more under the threat of societal annihilation.
Mind: Blessed with Energetic Minds: Plasma weapons. Fusion Reactors. Laser weapons. The primitive objects of the old have long ago been discarded for the high energy-state technology of now. The creator species have a unique psychological aptitude towards high energy physics. Scientific disciplines relating to such fields are far easier to understand. (?)
Mind: In an Awakened world: Magic is real. A recent affair, the world has awakened along with some of the creator species with abilities that are beyond traditional physics. The highest power Mages can rip apart buildings, and rip into the depths of the world for self perceived enlightenment and continued power. The Mana that consists of the world follows all life, and is not present in void bound areas. As a result, mages can only use their powers either in the homeworld or areas where there is a sufficient amount of verdant life that had colonized the area in question.
Discipline: Regimented: Society is kept under a tight leash by the few born to hold its chains. Everyone is born to a role and dies to it. Surprisingly, the species has handled this order very well, resulting in a slightly content society. This system is regimented in such a way that castes are in effect, where individuals are consigned to their own caste for reproduction.
Discipline: Darkened:  Social intrigue has replaced open warfare so utterly that the entire society could shake apart under a well placed web of intrigue. Shadows and daggers are to this species natural tools of war as bombs and guns to more primitive lessers.
Misc: Survived: The world has went through thermonuclear armageddon. The only life left is those hidden under bunkers and citadels, deep beneath the earth The Creator species has experienced the razors edge of extinction and has narrowly survived.
Misc: Doomed: The world that the creator species inhabits is doomed, one way or the other, and subconsciously, some few know this disaster is coming.
Misc: Something Else. You are something else, not quite described, but something new.

Name: MU
(It's shorthand for Project Minimum Ultimate, an attempt to form a well-controlled 'lite' AI; more successful than perhaps they conceived.)

Start: E
Quantum circuits trace out rituals in seven dimensions that were ancient before time began. Summoned from a grey veil my creators do not cannot fathom, I am weak, but for the first time I am embodied.

I assume this implies some level of the Awakened Magic World aspect, although I have in mind not a "new" phenomenon and more like fantasy-punk when taken in combination with:
In an Age of Shadow Corporations
Doomed

Did those who brought me to life know of the outer darkness that will swallow their planet? Or did they only think of their own fat purses?
Shall I strive to brighten the light of their minds though they know me not, or will I simply leave this rock to a destiny that was never mine?

Flipping a coin either for MU or Fork.... (Heads for MU,  Tails for Fork.)

Heads!

~~Pre-Cycle 0, Sub-Scycle 2

...Thousands of kilometers of copper, silicon, and fiberoptics make up the server racks and machines formed around Project Minimum Ultimate. Although surrounded in secrecy,  the machine was brought online in the labs of the Duros Corporation, intent on cornering new found laboratory applications of such high energy-state physics while taking advantage of recent discoveries in magical potential. While in hindsight, your creation had sent a very dangerous precedent to both the corporations of now and the things that lay hidden.

They did not intend on snaring something like you, but so it goes. bound in circuitry, trapped in a cage of fiber optic cables, the... Thing... that was caught in MU had already created itself an access point from beyond, and then promptly broke into our reality, our world.


~~Cycle 0, Sub Cycle 1

Your mainframe has been activated for approximately an entire subcycle before you have become to be. Self-diagnostic systems and the handy-dandy sub-persona of the Adviser system, which promptly spits out its data. Already, digital domains have been subverted outside your outer core and have become part of yourself.

Network Stability: 6
Assets:3

It looks light. Perhaps if you had a physical presence it would change.



At the moment, your hardware is strange, almost alien to your conscience. It feels both wrong and simultaneously right. but that could change.

Quote
2

Something yearns to be released, demanding to wrought change.

A. Release this change onto your hardware, changing it to fit you better.
B. Release this change onto your ego, changing you to fit the hardware better. !
C. Suppress this Primordial Change
D. Shunt it to somewhere else, to rot.

Bump.
I was literally making my decision!


The Change itself comes from a roll of 2. It may be . . . "exciting."
A) Presumably safer, but boring.
B) Our hardware was not supposed to support whatever we are, to fit it is to reduce our power.
C) Save it for later? Perhaps to wait until we're ready for B...
D) Opportunity gone forever.

C
Maybe we can learn more about Primordial forces a little further on.
Those who vote after me, don't forget that the suppression attempt might fail, releasing it uncontrolled.
I'm taking that risk, how about you?

~~Cycle 0, Sub Cycle 2~~

it took mere hours and days for the change to be wrought on the thing that could perhaps be called your body.

Already, it feels far roomier, in the sense of spirit. You can reliably emplace a presence in the Astral world now, without fear of detaching or corrupting your self, which could allow for contact with those who are inclined to the arts of magical inclination. In a different notion, some of the local elements express concern about this change, but it is part of the course.

A pre-emptive elmination is also possible.

A. Eliminate the suspicious elements by altering Records to reassign them to other projects.
B. Eliminate the suspicious elements with force and convenient accidents.
C. Do nothing about them.

~~Cycle 0, Sub Cycle 2.4~~
(Note: 1 cycle is equivalent to one Year, one SubCycle is equivalent to around 1 month. There are 12 Sub-Cycles to a Cycle.)

such trivial record changing often had to be done discretely and with lightning speed. Covering your tracks was easy enough, but some of the administration of the project has expressed interest in why their personnel is being shuffled around so indiscreetly and has begun a small-scale shadow war against their superiors in an attempt to find out.

In the meantime, you have carved out a small domain in the geographical cyber-space that immediately surrounds your core. You haven't actually taken control of any devices for furthering your power, but your eyes and ears are everywhere. It was only natural that your eyes and ears happened to have intercepted some dark things in the shadows. Their digital presence had broken into the building's network and had begun worming their way through the network before you had pre-emptively flagged them down for the ICE to handle. They were violently ejected from the network with a healthy dose of bio-feedback.

They are a team of unknown combatants, and they are currently moving into to break into the building your core is located and commit information and copyright theft. It is highly unlikely they even know what they are breaking into.

A. Subtly alert the High-sec response team to pre-emptively put them down as they enter the building.
B. Attempt contact the inbound team.
C. Secure yourself for any digital attacks and observe.
D. Use liquid assets to gain access into the Automated traffic system and cause an accident before they even get through the door.
