I am starting a log telling of my inevitable exploits so let's begin.
my name is montelo gatz sergeant in service on the Tranport Ship: Lether's Burden.
I've just been promoted and my brother the Captian designated me as a squad leader.

We are carring a very important cargo back to the IceWorld:Vin-Malor to examine it
It's a mysterious relic that as been found on a abandoned planet by a band of explorers.

Their scanning technology must be a step above their computer technology. We were detected in approximately 2.71 seconds. Everyone in their society apparantly gets a full infometric medical evaluation every time they sustain injury, to make sure they are still "pure." Recommend being somewhere else with extreme prejudice. Such a paranoid civilization is extremely hazardous to both your and its health, and there is currently a 65.2% probability that their attitude will result in the ship collapsing into a singularity which then rams their home planet at nearlight speeds annihilating everything on it and leaving them a wrecked wandering people cast adrift in space those few who survive.

There is a 20.7% probability that this civilization has already done that at least once, to a planet populated by tiny deer.

Hurm. Dissecting a fellow crew member seems like kind of a dick move. If there is a way to bring her with you perhaps she can prove valuable as a defector? If she is willing anyway, though she probably will WANT to haul ass after you save her.

It'd be a horrible blunder to have Legion extracted at the cost of Yeli's life.

Room 8 in the medical bay of the craft. Can you find the shortest route there and extract her from her dissection before everything goes south?

Also, could the nanite collective infect the medbot and overtake it if we don't get there in time?

Assuming Yeli only suffers a few minor incisions beforehand...

THIS IS OF COURSE ONLY THE WORST CASE SCENARIO PLANNED HERE.

Huh. Trying to attack or suborn to the medbot to buy her time isn't a bad idea. Although, ideally we'd prefer to do something before she knives stuck between her vertebrae, retinas, ocular nerves, or aural nerves. Which is kind of what would have to happen before our bots got access.

Tech theft doesn't really scare me,
Even if it did, I have a way to avoid that, but that would involve destroying the host and I'd prefer not loosing a useful ally when in such poor conditions.

It's not like I'm terrible at stealth or anything, I just prefer straight up combat
fortunately my current arsenal of knife and sword are plenty stealthy
tough if I don't mind making a little noise, or need a distraction I had the time to make 3 white phosphorus grenades
this should cause enough chaos and- shit I've just been spotted.

rush it and slash it in half with your sword before it can call for help and if it does rush into the infirmary and grab the little skunk thing and set up a white phosphorus grenade trap buy tying some string to the pin or whatever activates it and have it go off when someone enters the room, that should provide a good distraction as you leave the place.

Is that a bot or an organic? I can't tell from our visual sensors alone. [Scan target?]

If it's a bot, there's nothing wrong with killing it, or it would probably be easy to get inside its guard and hack it to death.

If it's an organic, I'd prefer a non-lethal takedown. Kind of hurts our position with Yeli if you cut down her comrades (even if they turned on her). Obviously can't use the injection again, since we don't want another infected person.
>>
No. 513425 ID: c23ab0

It's a bot, and it's never a good idea to kill when you don't have to, even if it is a bot. However because it's a bot that means you can separate the head from the body to neutralize it nonlethally, where that would kill an organic. Most organics.

What I'm saying is kick his head off.

don't know, anywhere that you think we should head off to? I suggest we try to find a port that would let us connect directly to the ship and try that hack the thing but we don't have the power... think we could use the ship's own power to power ourselves up enough to hack it? If so lets head towards the ship's engine or wherever it's power core would be found.

We already slagged the room and ran off? Dang, I was gonna suggest grabbing a reverser for the sedative off the bot. It has to have drugs for waking up patients under sedation they aren't vivisecting.

She's also without clothes or equipment, which may be annoying later. Hopefully there's extras, somewhere.

Yes, they were. And she can attest to that. She being more sympathetic than a giant metal man. You'd be surprised how even in the most terrible societies there are many who sympathize with the idea of being vivisected by a robot who had a hunch.

If it were a normal medical practice she would have done so willingly instead of being tricked. So suffice to say she can at least make the stranners do what they do best: feel guilty.

First of all, Doctor, please try to calm down. We're not safe yet, and lot of yelling might give away our position. Secondly, I have to extend my apologies. I underestimated your people's ability to detect nanoscale structures, and you're paying the price. I'm very sorry. As you're now in violation of the purity laws, they seemed to feel justified in killing you to get that nanotech. We regard that as evidence that your people really don't possess the cultural maturity to handle it well.
If you're familiar with the "gray goo scenario", "red goo apocalypse", and similar scenarios, then you'll probably agree this is too powerful a tool to leave to those who aren't prepared for it.
Since it was us who got you into trouble, the boss and us have gotten you out, at least for the moment. Like my buddy over there said, We're on our way to get you some clothes and basic supplies in order to help you start your new life as "impure", whatever that may be. As a matter of damage control, can you tell me if someone who's no longer "pure Astranian" can regain their purity? It seems like it wouldn't be difficult for us to pack up everything we've installed in your body and leave, if that would do it.
Thirdly, how do your eyes feel?

Alright, now, the best thing you can do here is remain calm and take into consideration the predicament you've found yourself in.

Lets work under the assumption that you're now recognized as a threat, or some kind of foreign entity by the ship's AI, or at least by the various automatons aboard, given that the medbot did.
And if the medbot had the capabilities of transmitting, then I've no doubt he transmitted your current "impure" state, possibly as a safety protocol.

So, lets try to find a friend to help sort out this misunderstanding, and of course steer clear of any bots.

No. The ship's records have been altered, but a message about her being compromised was sent out before we could intervene. Unless somebody was reading the com traffic when it was sent nobody on the ship will consider her suspect.

The problem is that since command knows she's suspect she's going to face trouble once the ship hits port.
Unfortunately, that's at the LATEST. Command is very likely to message the ship about her status, and it's doubtful we'll be able to tamper with that communication without raising suspicions.

We DO have a few options, but they're not fun; Mana, could you start confusing ship systems? Sabotaging the robots so they start misidentifying everything; stranners as robots, robots as humans, doors as inexplicable vertical sheets of water, etc? Then have the ship's sensors start seeing impossible things, such as nearby star systems being located in the mess hall, and well-known planets like Vin-Malor chasing after the ship?
If they start getting system-wide errors then all anomaly reports become suspect.

Man.A, I'd like to thank you for hacking the files and rendering the good doctor no longer in violation of these "Purity Laws". This makes the job much simpler.
Dr. Yeli, I'm not sure what kind of cover story your people would accept about the robot finding "something", but if a suggestion of a minor infection at the injection point would help, by all means consider it. With that out of the way, Doctor, please calm down. While it's true that you are nude, try to recall that none of the beings here regard you as an object of desire. Personally, I maintain my earlier opinion about you being a cute, cuddly-looking sort of person. I would rather see you in some pretty little dress with ribbons in your hair, but a uniform will have to do. Is there a place nearby where a temporary covering can be obtained, so that you don't have to try to sneak into the barracks nude?
Also to consider, you really should avoid any other robots or sensory devices which have the sensitivity to detect the nanotech within you. Is it possible to obtain some of those sensors so that we can create a masking field to protect you?

Man.A :"Please I'm trying to fix all the damage stop calling me out so much, it's tiring for me, but yeah, if we manage to get some more energy and a decent terminal to access the various bot shipwide I can make them believe that all astrians are infected, tough we've left a few robots dead along the way, so the skunk may still be considered as a menace

"Wait! If the bot think anyone is infected there is a chance the ship will be set to selfdestroy!"
mana:" Oh..."
necro:"justgive random false reading anytime they scan something, this should prevent the selfdestruction...still many will end up sectioned"

So have the scans give obviously bad readings. Detect people as robots or coffee cups or bits of string at random.
After that happens for a little while, have all attempts to scan just return error messages.

If the active scans are obviously wrong and then stop working outright it puts the active scan of her into question without anybody else being suspect.

Now, lets go get her some clothing.

He look at her

They keep on walking for a few minutes
Necro:" OK , we need to take that passage in front of you, we need to crawl into it, but it's all straight until the female quarters"
yeli, a bit embarrassed mumble" c-can you go
first?"
N:"are you afraid of the dark? I have to inform yu that untill now you have been in almost darkness, but your eyes have been modified to being able to see in it"
She blush more "A-are you teasing me?"
"what? what do you mean?"
"A-are you really that dense?!I- I'm wearing just a rug! I don't have any underwear!"
OH, right...FIne i'll go first,don't try anything weird, as he say that he neter the tunnel and Yely soon follow.
After a few minutes of crawling...A scream come from behind, it's yeli!

teleporting behind someone who is screaming because something is behind them is usually a bad idea.

I can still turn around in this tunnel or teleport myself a meter away facing her direction.

I also have recovered enough to retrive one of two long range weapons:

One is a small handgun that shoots stun darts.
The other is a sniper rifle, really powerful but loud.

spin around and get the stunner. robots can be meleed.

No. 577971 ID: c7a241

...it would help if we acquired a target before we picked something to shoot it with. Or if we were even sure there's something behind her to shoot.

A really loud rifle strikes me as a hazard, in a small, enclosed metal space. Especially for Yeli, with those big ears. Ignoring the risk of whatever may be behind her, or of trying to shoot past her without hitting her, there's a risk of serious aural damage.

The cyborg Punches the little bot off the astranian girl it lands on it's back, with its tiny robotic legs wriggling.
Necro:" In the face!"
the small bot is quickly hacked by Mana.

Hacking routines: ON
Scanning for breaches...143 found
begin hacking: deactivation running programs...deactivation subroutines...scanning memory data...No data found...
Scanning for data transmission...One, non identified, source found...unable to trace source...closing non identified transmission....
Mana: pop up again:" something is wrong, That bot is a shell, remote controlled"
Yeli:"They've found us already?"
Mana:"I'M not sure, The signal was completely different from what I've seen in this ship, like a complete different technology..."
Necro:" Do you have any idea if there is something able to control technology that way...that is not a creepy space relic?"

No. 598231 ID: 8b533b

A non-astrian drone? Maybe we're not the only intruder!

Can we tell the direction or strength of the signal? If we overlay with the ship schematics, maybe we can estimate where they are.

It's also possible we could use the drone a means to attempt communication with whoever is controlling it.

>>A non astranian drone?
Yeli:" No, this is clearly astranian made, Mana just said it's being remote controlled and I'm fairly sure they are made in a way that makes impossible to reprog-"

Man.A:"OK!I'm done reprogramming it!"

Yeli:"What?!"

Man.A:"It's a shell, I just had to upload a new code in it, some basic hard-wired stuff was in it, but I just worked around it with some logic leaps"

>>Can we tell the direction or strength of the signal? If we overlay with the ship schematics, maybe we can estimate where they are.
Man.A" I'm trying to figure it out...
I didn't picked up any signals before this bot attacks
....
shit
its spread trough the whole ship coming from multiple sources
but I can't contact it
whatever this signal is it shut itself down every time I try to connect to it"

Yeli:"Oookay, that does not sound creepy at all
damnit, this was supposed to be an important boost for my career
and now I'm naked, my only ally is some kind of robots with skin grafted on and almost certainly the field they used to shield the relic failed massively"

Necro:"I'm most certainly not a terminator...I think"

Man.A, You have the frequency and encoding of the signal, right? So you can listen to what it's saying?
Can you tell the species is responsible for it? Or at least what they identify themselves as?
Are they Human? With the Solar Directorate/Militia or otherwise?
If so, identify yourself as an agent for any of the spec-ops groups from Earth's space colonization phase, and demand they stop interfering with your infiltration.

If they're not human, then transmit this back at it: "Bah wah neep widdi bong"

>A-a what?
That was reference to pre-interplanetary pinkskin popular culture. The 'terminator' was a fictional monster from cinematic entertainment of the era. A robotic assassin encased in a shell of living tissue for purposes of infiltration and facilitation of time travel.

We can provide you with a more detailed summary or replay archived media for you under less pressing circumstances if you're interested.

>damnit, this was supposed to be an important boost for my career
Provided we can avert what seems to be a budding disaster on this vessel, it still may be. In any event, better to be trying to address the problem than do nothing.
