What?

By 12 I mean reply #12 in the thread - your post.

} Result [Null] You move around collecting dust. After a sufficient amount is collected you begin scanning its composition. You find it is mostly carbon, though you find the dust around here has high amounts of silicon, titanium, barium, fiberglass and a assortment of polymers. You concentrate on pulling out silicon and carbon.

Yes the composition of dust is a hint towards the plot.. Yes you have enough to build one R-010, because helpers are fun! Also you guys can suggest stuff, but I would like to keep it in a somewhat possible realm.. sorry no nano-glider just yet, plus a glider? Your a nanite, least make it powered flight..

i feel my factory senses tingling

Asses Memory Files
Search paramaters=Origins

Begin "mandible" Production (for manipulation and study of strength of unknown compounds)

Edit: could you post pictures of the nanite?

[Urist Imiknorris]

Create "wing" structures for flight. Attach to self.

no thats you.

After a little time of running around your new friend springs to life. He is two-thirds your size but appears slightly faster, clearly he was designed to work. He wanders around aimlessly, until you realize he is waiting for your instructions on the uplink! After connection you realize there is two responses... öð¬♠W³ÿöÞ«¡b↨♣ãÐ{¤ð*#%¡bð¬♠W³ÿöÞ«¡b↨♣ãÐ{¤ð*#%¡b@^&↨♣ã.. You are unsure what this is.. You lose connection to one of the entities, only your one single nanite R-010 is left online, awaiting your orders. A new subroutine is active.. You feel something..

Code: [Select]

↨♣ãSubroutine[Memories]... Activate..
You are within a moving machine. You take your sensory data input stream and correlate it to your corrupt database files, you are inside a T-2↨♣ã. It is a large treaded machine. You are in some sort of bipedal suit, inside this T-2↨♣ã, along with several other nanites of your size in their own suits beside you. Behind you is a hanger full of nanites awaiting your command. They are all silent, and so is your uplink.. There is no way you can be commanding all of them, there must be a hierarchy dispersing commands.  Your console attracts your attention, you analyze the data befor%¡bð¬♠WÿöÞ you. The results are bad, you read T-500[KIA] T*#%[KIA] R-10%¡b@[NULL] Cöð¬♠[öð♠=(].. The data continues to scroll. An overwhelming feeling of loss fills you. You begin to ascend with the nanites to your side. You enter what seems to be the bridge. The room shakes as you reach it. You look out the forward view shield and see a mass of machines moving forward, some appear to be flying, others rolling on tank like treads, several are bipedal and hanging onto the sides of the rolling machines. Far ahead explosions send vibrations through the earth. To your port a large cannon fires, the room shakes more. You now realize you know fear.. 2↨♣ã!*#%¡bð¬♠W³ÿöÞ«¡b↨$..

You guys voted for another replicator and Kaian wanted a memory so I figured this was a good time to introduce the feelings and more background story. This is the last update for the night though. Till tomorrow! This one took a while. I will be using your posts for the next move and the feeling you feel with be through poll. As you build more nanites you will have to develop ways to feed your energy needs for factories, collective computing and intense uplink commands and other stuff we run into. Not all of you can siphon power from electromagnetic waves. Anyways be creative, you do not get wings, you have no way to power that really, you are a very basic design. Anyways out of time. Bye.

Drago - There will be no pictures unless it is a sketch during one of my lectures, I hardly have time for this and I should be doing my physics currently, hence this is the last update of the night. We play DF, which has no graphical interface of any quality. I expect everyones imaginations to fill in what I do not describe.

Edits - Finish up what I left unfinished and wanted to post

[Loud Whispers]

Wait, so now I have a nano nanite hanging around in my Nanite's chassis?

[Immortal]

Loud ~ Nope, he is walking around you, he is 66% of your size.

Also I feel there isn't much interest in this? Am I doing this wrong? I've run several successful games before from zombies to space ships to the second ever RTD.. Any hints or ways to get some interest?

[Loud Whispers]

I haven't run any forum games before, so no help from me sadly

[Immortal]

What shall I do bout the tie?! No one else interested in this or what?

[Drago55577]

Loneliness !!

[kaian-a-coel]

TIE! ><"
my vote put it to 2/2/2/2...

[Immortal]

Thanks for the decisive decision guys haha. Ill vote for loneliness, that seems most appropriate, anger can come later on.

You are sitting on the edge and begin to feel lonely. You instruct R-010 to begin another nanite, believing that may cheer you up. You really want to be back with the collective but alas, they are gone now and you are by yourself. You search your memory for a while, hoping to find a memory of before. Your memory scan returns null, you assume they are all corrupted or gone.. Bloop bleep! You must have been searching for a long time. In front of you now stands two R-010s! You begin to cheer up a little, but none of them are like you, none of them think like you. If only you knew how to build more of yourself..
With the work R-010 did searching for the semi-conductor there is a large amount of left over carbon, there are easily three stacks of sheets laying around. You are actually standing in a small clearing of dust now. You sit on the edge contemplating your next move.

Code: [Select]

Uplink [Collective Computing]{
Subroutine [Waiting..]
Efficiency [100%][3 Entities]
} Result [Ready to launch]A subroutine has been unlocked due to the uplink finding more then two thought processing entities connected. The R-010s have also been alerted to their uplinks new ability. They are patiently awaiting command.
What shall we do?

Code: [Select]

R-010 x2
Stacks of carbon sheets x3

As you see in the poll, suggest what you want to be researched or design, Ill let you do pretty much anything within logical reason. Also anyone want to put this is your signature and generate a little more interest?
