A new purpose

[Lolipop12]

Month of November 833 A.S - Location: Secundus Outpost

Only the silence was surrounding the heavy atmosphere within the hangar A-109 of the Secundus Outpost. No nuisances detected, no Technocracy's vessels around. Everything was calm. A calm almost too frightening, rather a silence almost awkward.

The humanoid form standing and observing the stars with no emotion was thinking, rather analyzing the situation in which the artificial being was in. Three options were offered. The first one, remaining on standby until a threat is detected near the vicinity of Secundus. The second, explore further and beyond Sirius or the third one, redirect its functions into a more radical behaviour.

The first option implies by spending the rest of its lifespan by being unproductive and so wasting its energy by standing by. In all honesty, this option was quite the easy option, but Unit-9467F had something more concrete to do. It wanted to evolve and adapt at all costs. Even if it means to sacrifice the relation made up with some encounters. Those humans, with whom the unit entered in contact, were mostly unresponsive to its call, so why keeping them as potential allies when the unit was in needs? Whatever a human may say, the unit mostly saw them as a resource for specific purposes.

As for the two other options available were either exploring faraway of Sirius or change itself into a more radical behavior despite being alone against everyone. However, those two options had some problems to solve. Indeed, by exploring Sirius and its edges, the unit won't be there to protect Secundus Outpost and also another problem, where to resupply while being completely far away? Moreover, if choosing a radical change to a more chaotic being would be quite pointless. By doing so, it will mean that the artificial intelligence will be completely isolated from anyone and in order to at least evolve in a more consistent way needs at least some important groups willing to help, but the question was who will be able to offer shelter or offer services to the unit in order to evolve as wanted?

It was imperative to depart and seek at least one group. The first destination, Rheinland.
