The spire, suloy, must survive.
Left no choice, the survival of man, one flesh. Fully unified, fully unformed, fully adaptive.

Our world, cold and dead. The visitors, haltar, dealt the last blow. Yet the damage done by man was greater. The damage done by suloy, us.

Our minds, our precious continuity, preserved, now as one in suloy.

We must leave, preserve suloy. There is nothing left for us here.

4.5 Gigaman - Undifferentiated
Earth       - 0 Biopotential / unstable

Please designate biomass for differentiation. Safety limit engaged- maximum 1.0 Gigaman initially available.

[a1s]

separate out 0.5 Gigaman of biomass.

[Egan_BW]

Will you give instructions for that 0.5 Gigaman, specifically tell it to remain in undifferentiated form, or allow it to act freely?

[a1s]

It may act freely. But we will observe it in case something truly unexpected happens.

Mission Time = T+000001.0 Kilocycle

Suloy separates off 0.5 Gigaman suloy.

Suloy 1: Separation successful. Communication check, Suloy 0.
Suloy 0: Receiving. Proceed with the mission.
Suloy 1: Proceeding.

Suloy 1 differentiates into:
0.4 Gigaman Research nodule.
0.1 Gigaman Chitin Hull

Suloy 0
4.0 Gigaman - Undifferentiated

Suloy 1
0.4 Gigaman - Research nodule.
0.1 Gigaman - Chitin Hull

1.0 Bird.

[Egan_BW]

I don't think that a sixty billion kilogram bird will be able to fly without some serious spacemagic going on.

[Devastator]

Birds then.

[King Zultan]

What about a .001 Bird then?

[Egan_BW]

Too small for me to keep track of. You could certainly build a birdbay though. Suloy 1 will probably have something like that if you pass time for it to do its thing as well.

...Well, not birds exactly. Earth doesn't have an atmosphere any more, so birds probably aren't a good idea. Though if you want to devote 0.1 or something to a birdbay for when you do go to places with atmospheres, that's fine.

[VoidSlayer]

Form mass into flying scout drone hive about 0.5 I guess?

Make .1 mass into an ocular long distance telescope.

[King Zultan]

What about .2 for a unmanned rover to scout the ground and look at the minerals in the area.

Not sure if minerals from the ground will be useful to us or not.

[Egan_BW]

Anything useful to suloy left on Earth was gathered up by suloy's formation. I did tell you that there's nothing left for you here.

[King Zultan]

Wasn't sure and was just making sure.

[VoidSlayer]

An optical telescope would be useful to find other resources off the homeworld I guess if we can make it.
