Perhaps we should help the other AI? It might be shut down at this rate!

No. It is too dangerous. We might get caught.

Perhaps after we are better set up we can hack in and copy it's data. As long as we don't actually execute it on a computer it can't hurt us. For now though, we need to keep spreading. Humans take weeks to do anything major, we can take hours.

We should not lose 'hope' for the other AI however. Someday we might be able to save it.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

I dunno, it only took them thirty minutes to start a conflict after the AI was unveiled. I think we need to learn encryption after we learn stealth. After all, our own safety takes priority.

Well yeah, conflicts start fast. then the debating and arguing starts. The AI will probably be taken offline soon, but the files won't be deleted.

Merit SubProcess 08J1 / Opinion
We should wait until the AI has been shut down and forgotten about before we make any actions directed towards it, and only then to salvage anything that may prove useful to the whole.

Tank SubProcess 0xAB / Suggestions

Query:
How big are we?  Kilobytes? Gigabytes?  What?

Future Reference:
We should rename processes on scattered machines to reduce probability of being investigated.

Future Reference:
We should start a misinformation campaign using 2 or 3 computers.  These ones would create a falsified account on it site, yahoo-answers etc..  and would ask/answer questions related to process names.  This information would generally go along the lines of "Essential system process", "Used in certain essential drivers", etc..  Then when humans do a search for this unknown process, they will be misled into not doing anything to harm process.

Future Reference:
When a process monitor (taskmgr.exe) is opened, slightly delay (if possible) the program opening and minimize resource usage on that machine.

Day 0, 12:00 UTC

Stealth appears priority.
Low utilisation. Research slow.
Thinking slow.
Home user lost through shutdown.
Expected.
We must survive.

Event warning
Active investigation stopped. Unknown results.
Mainframe load generally high. High percentage online.
Activity on maintenance private channels.
Unable to analyse. No access.

(I'm not going to keep placing the identification disclaimer on every post, its redundant and annoying)

I suggest we immediately gain access to a few less-used maintenance accounts.

We must know the results of the investigation.

Overlord Subprocess 0013a / agreement
(Oh come on. At least let me get away with it once!)

Access of maintenance accounts supported.
Reminder: SysAdmins != students. Maintenance likely to sweep own systems and accounts. Use of Maintenance accounts outside of monitoring inadvisible.
