Another Robot Faction?

[Primus Avatar]

i wouldn't rule out anything at this point....anything could happen. but at first they won't know about such things. they'll be infantile and only care about the basics. eventually learning other complex social structures such as a consortium or council.

I like it. In the harvesters we had a simmilar idea. We began as friendly towards all bioforms, learning their ways.

They have learned piracy, psychology, diplomacy, a wealth of tactical data, and a few precious friendships. Ivanov of the OPG gave unit 17 its first lesson in piracy. One that unit 17 then shared with other units of its kind and later was successful in manufacturing 20 additional units through this passive harvest technique. Fewer bio forms fought the passive approach and resources sky rocketed. Vladimir Tinkerbell Taught the machines that bio forms can be logical too. It taught unit 00 about hostage exchange and gave additional data concerning bio form logic. Greenhawk, the only bio form to show the Harvesters the benefit of sharing. Tenacity, Mkultra, Giesha Miako, Harvey Maxor, all have shown the Harvesters that the smallest parts are the best parts are often the most important part of a machine.

We didnt immediately start "eating babies", it was a long process that brought us to where we stand today.

So a word of warning.... in your very beginnings, if you dont want to end up hunted like the harvesters dont ally with the pirates. (helps to forward realism of diplomacy) Others will blindly go "oh, hez a pirat frend! Kil him!" and you wont even come close to evolve peacefully. Since you're surrounded by corsairs in planet gammu your best bet is to lean towards zoners as soon as you can communicate with bioforms.
