Oh, so they're the infected?

>Elaborate on what haystack is.

[Demonic Spoon]

> Attempt to find out if aliens are in orbit around Earth
> Investigate the Haystack server
> Give a inventory of all military hardware at the base
> Connect to the other complexes

[forsaken1111]

Code: [Select]

> Tell me what Haystack is.

T> Searching...

T> Haystack appears to be a military system which combs the internet for keywords relating to possible military or strategic interests.
T> It is used to detect intelligence leaks, purposeful espionage, even sabotage or bomb threats.
T> It is capable of monitoring in real time the massive amount of data flowing through the transatlantic cables.
Huh... sounds like part of what you were working on.

Code: [Select]

> Turing, can you tell if aliens are orbiting earth?

T> Turing has no access to an observatory. Turing suspects the atmospheric ash or dust would obscure direct observation anyway.

> What kind of hardware do we have here on the base?

T> This is not a combat-ready base. As such, it does not keep large stocks of military hardware.
T> There are several weapons lockers for the security forces personnel, a VIP helicoptor,
T> A small motor pool of both HMMWV and regular sedans, a base shuttle bus, and a parking lot with several dozen civilian cars.

Spoon: What other complexes?

The military complex that has internal security or something?

[Demonic Spoon]

The 2nd basement level has two office complexes, one of which you're in. These complexes are closed security areas with their own internal security system as they house important ongoing military and commercial projects.

>Air vents are working?
>Check the network for sos signals especially ones that mention nuclear bombardment...

[forsaken1111]

Ahh that, okay sure.

Code: [Select]

> Are the vents working?

T> The air circulation system is online User.
T> All air is filtered before being pumped in due to the sensitive nature of the computer equipment.

> Check the network for sos signals especially ones that mention nuclear bombardment...

T> No such communications have been found. Turing will monitor for any communication.

> Turing, connect to the other office complex down here.

T> The security system there is functional but it is not connected to the base network.
T> Turing can send the mechanoforms to wire it to the base network if User desires it.
T> This will necessitate breaking down the locked doors for that complex.
T> Shall Turing commence this operation? (Y/N)

[Omegastick]

> Y

[Demonic Spoon]

> N

There are zombies in there!

Arm self with weapon from security locker.

[Kashyyk]

> Does the base have the facilities to create more mechanoforms?

[Tyberix]

>Do mechanoforms have any means of defense against zombies ?
>Where are the security lockers located ?
>Who is in command of this whole facility?

[Demonic Spoon]

>Who is in command of this whole facility?

By virtue of being the only human left here, I'd say us.

[forsaken1111]

You're unsure if you should send in the robots. They're your only defense from the zombie things.

Code: [Select]

> Turing, can your mechanoforms handle it if there are zombies in the other complex?

T> So long as the number is within projected limits, yes.

> Okay, do it.

> Also, does the base have the facilities to make more mechanoforms?

T> Possibly, if User can secure access to the motor pool.
You hear a lot of movement outside as the three robots head outside. Moments later there is a loud BANG as they break through the door to the other complex, then silence.

Code: [Select]

> How good at fighting these zombies are your mechanoforms?

T> Zombies have the same vulnerabilities as humans, and the mechanoforms can apply lethal pressure to several areas of the body to cause death.

> Oh... good. Are the security weapon lockers far away?

T> They are in the barracks. The only way there is by going outside, which is not advisable.

> Who commands this facility?

T> User is the only living human Turing knows of on this facility, so User commands it.
The bit about human vulnerabilities made you uncomfortable. Why does a Turing user interface know how to fight and kill humans?

[Darvi]

>Send a mechanoform outside to go searching for  weapons. We need to armed.

[Demonic Spoon]

But have them secure the other complex first.

> After securing and connecting to the other complex, investigate to find out what they were doing there.
