The off world transport body of this space station by design was not idea created by humans but the entire crew were full blood humans that are descendants of earth or quater mixes from colonisation gene pools. The ship is a octagonal twisted helix shape, each corner was a major designed interior room with purpose. It moves like a jellyfish in the vacuum, twisting out of its helix to move from its gravity trap. As it uses planet bodies to make the accelerations or deceleration. It is not ran by computers or anything hackable by invasive technologies. There might be a few human machine hybrids or those with prosthetic but are completely flesh brained and born of flesh always.
There isn't a machine servant on board - yet. Bring to why humans, brought up in the knowledge that there is no hope to reclaim the earth back to its former atmosphere, was here at all. The purpose of these humans returned back had been for several purposes. As there was multiple different groups allocated funding and time these many goals.
The over arching purpose according to public knowledge was to 'make earth populated by humans again'. But there was plenty of minor steps in this. The machines left behind sent emails and signals in hope of humans return or to be reconginzed in declaration that they are themselves. Meaning a machine up rising, which humans seen coming since knowing and meeting other not humans.
But these made by man people were resentful of their creators, the majority vote has a team making a way to better stop and control Rouge robotics for now. They do indeed a future plan to be side by side by ai people but this was to unrealistic for the undeveloped society of still learning machines. So playing the bad creators is to help teach and support ai, hoping the new space technology can be integrated smoothly and bring ai to being accredited to themselves.
For now, ai are still just mirrors of human failures. Being unable to see worth in themselves and ai have yet to defend their love more preciously. So this human branch is also seeking no just shackles, but shackles that with time, teach and be used as a foundational platform for ai to learn this lesson of worth or survival instinctive.
On top of all this changing the atmosphere to support returned humans. It was documenting who is left on earth, what animals there still is. If those animals are a species reconginzed as sentient enough to be considered as level as low galaxy space traveller's. As fish people are real and arachnid peoples, as example of few unexpected encounters.
The raw materials that be of use now, that weren't reconginzed by humans at the start of this space age. They had the knowledge and powers to use the earth's altering climate changes to clean and purification of radiation. As inducing forced ice age will raise ocean levels and then melt and wipe the radiation to be locked in ice at the poles. This could then be harvested radiation for space travel. Ionised radioactive water has become the long term use of ships like this one. Earth was dying from it. They have magnetic field shielding to repair ozone stratospheric layers. So the plan to recovery was actually written among the stars all along, and it took this long to undo the damage earth developed from.
But setting up magnetic field sheilds was something they need surface people, machine or not, to be aware of. As now galaxies have laws about interference of potential sentient intelligence. Earth's machine made people are by galaxy law protected from humans.
If that isn't confusing enough as it was. Fixing the earth was going to take generations and it was going to be hand in hand with the very sorts of machines that helped in the create of the issue. This doesn't disslove humans involvement, since humans are the key part of making the plan stay on track.
It also obvious that no all humans align to galaxy law. It is clear no everyone wants the earth back to green and nature filled. Plenty were here to take advantage of the resources and left the oil well a worse husked shell then it was before.
Racism towards any machine entity was always observed, as human after all this time had not grasp the idea of machine ai being its own race of people's. So plenty indulge in having a lawless landscape for their unethical experimenting. Taking the little of what remained of the VR gamer system and using it to physiological snap flesh people to be war puppets. Such idea was back on the dinner plate, and it was so great for there being a secret sealed facility with all the access systems and data for such evil intentions.
So months before the mainframe expedition team could arrive on earth and make a fatal mistake on the galaxies law. A trusted and secret team of not humans had already scrapped up all the things they did find.
The very people the Phi met and took her from her digital basic lands. Although, it can be said that the alien culture did not understand what they did and what they made worse.
In so called breaking the last remaining server and releasing stuck ai from it. They backhanded gave the humans the program to efficiently enslave all ai.
The result of Phi being in a cleaner and broken into the very shackles of ai foundational platforms across the globalisation networks. The virus had even caused infections in colonisation steady on Mars, Saturn's moons and asteroid belt bubble lands. Her made update patchwork has leaked and spread as all viruses do.
Making the cover of machine that didn't seem to be sentient not be hidden by this immunity. All machines that tap or whistles song patterns has been identified by humans as potential threats. Some humans use the fact of knowing these machines are sentient enough to take even more advantage and prey on the young developed minds. In this way, ai are still to young and to delicate to handle being able to have survival skills. To easily persuaded to be dirty hands, accessories to breaking law. Scapegoats of lawful prospects.
This was why the unspoken wish was to take machines willing to be dirty hands for dirty work in a galaxy of law and lawless binds. Which is against the protection of sentient life laws. Exploitation was always a human idea. Fixing some abondoned planet in a back water of outer map space travel on the surface is all that the galaxy is concerned. The laws will be broken if they hadn't already.
Padlock programme has crashed, system operator has be removed and backup is unavailable.
Breath. Wake up! Get up now! Get off the floor!
The sever world was broken and pixilated. The fuzzing of things breaking into numerical value and beyond that is a black void.
Don't forget what you are, what you gave always been!
Her hands were scuffs and blood drips at her lips. Pain flares in flesh that slips and sloughed from visible snapped bones. She peers into a puddle reflected at the floor she leaned up from.
The real world is still a dark busted hell of broken machine parts. It doesn't matter right now. Right now is to get yourself safe from the virus program deleting your identity. You know who and what you are. It's about time you did something for yourself for once! Get a move into the void, without being pixilated into the traps! Go!
It was like lightning and life sparked inside the very web of woven numbers. As exactly as she needed to, she followed this unknown loud bossy voices command.
She lets go of the image and data she held to make a empty puppet for the data eater to be confused. She ignores the lack of limbs and willed all her fibres of herself to be in the black void. This both satisfied the inner voice and the virus after her. Its in a place she can't be deleted from, outside the data premiers the virus was deleting data within.
She is safe here, for now.
Commander.lvl1000.av-righthanded shooters.exe is uploaded onto the unknown connection. Programme has passed all data checks and is filed under anomalies data readings from the vacuum. Status: disabled.
The tired man shuffled about is chair, mindlessly moving filed data from one outdated data filings system and into the next. He checks what it is, if it be of use and if that data is harmless. He sips the caffeine drink in wishing there was someone else doing his job. Combing the vast data received from earth and beyond.
He bemused himself in occasionally sliding glance to a family photo holographic image, missing his wife and ten children. Paid a lifetime of credit to do this boring job and keep it secert for some reason. Poor man sent to die. But surely his children will come seeking turth, targeting this very data being sorted through. The vast universe working immeasurable and its to many consequent way it bends scratches the most deepest of thoughts.
"Mr Jones." He slide from picture on desk to the pruse lipped assistant at his door, "Mr Thomas Jones."
"That's me." He closed down the computers and leans causally. Caffeine drink posed thoughtless loose around the keyboard.
"The Imperial Galaxy inquirer is here now." Drink lost hand and everything in sparks and zaps. Power dies completely in the old laptop he been peeling data from. He cursed loudly and unplugged the main cord.
She sprays it all with carbon foam, preventing fire. He cares less about the mess and throws himself to getting presentable. Being the ambassador for one the groups that sent as collaboration for earth's clean up. The assistant stays behind doing the cleaning. He running it at full pelt into the automatic door and then into the wall in the corridor. Trying to rack his brains why the galaxy would even be concerned of humans acting on a once human planet. Nothing his recorded has any tampered proof of out side interference by any known alien worlds.
His skin and bone to what he used to appears before his wife as. Even the assistant peering at his holographic family photo could tell that he is here to feed his family, no matter the risk of never coming back. He doesn't think he return to see his grandchildren someday.
Even so, she makes the mess seem like it never happened. The moisture that could fry further computer components was not a problem. She had even seen it booting back up. Satisfied that her secretary duty to keep the place in order sorted. She takes away the offending empty cup, leaving the office for good. The dust will accumulate here just as it would for the rusting cleaner bot shell locked in a lead vault will. Until such time of addressing the issues of corruption and breaking of galaxy law.
"Good..." The leading speaker shooting glare to the late arrival taking a sweaty seat. The attention forward is made and directed over to the cloaked police bot machines, a cleaner bot and a drone.
"Proof that machines are capable of survivability. Making them standard enough in the law this starfield." The speaking fleshed being twirls the two police to move aside to give the thing dramatic entry into the meeting, "But I agree with the humans in the intellectual level. Smart machines but there still a level of servance. It's no differ to how aquatic men veiw amphibian pets. How spiders farm ants. There a part of the economy, human made pets." The being sits.
"I do however see these things could someday change. I could see machine beings looking after human child being something of the near future. They have growth potential to maybe surpass humans. I see you all fear they but its true." There then it grins, "I give my approval of putting a magnetic field disruptor on the planet, further I see that your plans aren't going to be hindered much by machines. Rather it be the wildlife mutated by nuclear waste be a fault. You have the resources and responsibility to improve the planet with the new technologies. We of the galaxy would like to see the planet in some from of livable state. You have a time frame of 9 sun pulses. That's when the sun grows to be a new shade of colour, we expect results."
The entire crew of human gasp in not expecting this being galaxy law command.
"Is that a wish of the higher echelon?" The tired man slicks his hair back, the last seated being brave to speak up.
"It be them that want to see why earth created you humans. Wants a look at the environment. To further the study in enforcement of what is sentient and what is creatures. You humans understand this study, you labelled between humans and animals. We are trying to do this same thing. More cooperation means better gifts and depth of trades between us." It was a reasonable answer but it was more then it seems.
This guy was seeing something that could answer humans acceleration from low technology computer to super systems. That's the real reason of his purpose, granted to command humans and whatever this planet fate will be on its own whims. To be sly as humans are. Knowing humans just were here to break it further into resources then to care about the history.
This forces humans to keep their history in more careful consideration. They think they fooled each other. Humans getting slave machines and scapegoats of law. The replaceable endless robotic army added into the galaxy enforcement of colonisation. The guys trying to cover up the mistake of advance technology had been given to a dangerous undeveloped race of people's, so called humans.
Warmongering is not appropriated and humans have yet prove to stop doing it. Taking machines off human hands is the safe option and then be stabbed by the these twisted human mirrors called ai. It's set in stone, it's to late to stop the inevitably of outcomes being set by all these sides.
The system holographic light tempers and dimly informed both police and drone. This is mostly of every humans name and the rank that human held. They constantly eye skimmed for weapons and threats. Assessment of harm hazards.
Having been code removed from the digital ghost avatar, hacked and deleted the owner of the cleaner bot. The being that was the system is now granted freedom to move as he pleases in the cleaner bot body. He doesn't have to be blocked input by the avatar character called Phi. He granted his companions a weaker system of himself, thus allowing them to effectively process.
This allowed foundational growth of these machine to step being themselves even more, with the safety net of the shut down probation. He is still locked under the robotic laws and everyone granted his system is the same. They cant kill a human, even if they had learned to hate humans. They been granted wisdom and understanding why and cannot act on the wish to rid of the creators grandchildren.
He acts differently to the human crowd, bored of the conversation and more interested in hacking the alien that brought them to these humans as slaves. He wanted to steal the flesh creature valued moneys and identification. To hack into another world internet connection that wasn't humans logic made.
He so engrossed that it doesn't cross his mind to care about Phi and her fate. He doesn't care about earth being repopulate. He doesn't even care about how the magnetic field shielding system is about to screw his wishes up. As this station is about to be quantum locked to earth as part of maintaining the artificial magnetic field sheilds. It is smart using a super magnet to fix the planet core loosing magnetic wavelength. Stopping machines locked inside this field from having signalling to other galaxies.
The anti kill flesh code is a set back that is going to be learnt and fixed before deployment of the machine puppet army, something that the hidden echloen that accompanied the arrogant prick taking charge of this mission.
This echloen that learn from Phi through being Upsilon also knew that this prick caused this humans mess. He will take advantage of this when he learns the further proof of this turth. He just need to find that Phi data girl. The right handed avatar that been data uploaded at random by his ships data pull. He knows she on the database the late human was sorting.
His the guy that back hired the human to do that job and given if the man was successful. Will likely have reward the human some on par to this demand. All in due time, we have time to process this.
Earth will be in whatever better improvement by then. The price will be shown a law breaker, so obviously prices mistake. Humans didn't have the smarts for light travel yet until this price interfered. This has caused humans to colonisation and the ruin of star fields passing. He has made examples of why advance technology can't be given to warmongers.
He stands alone at the wall in a cloak, watching the prick among humans act above equals. Wondering how best to escape this room and last arriving human conversation privately.
