Is Johnsonstein considered human or human like abomination here?

We need a tie break for #2. Are we looking to research and create a head transplant or are we reversing the change we just made?

This will help decide 3, I suppose.

4. Keep current Jackson on ice, we'll figure out what to do with him later. We can't AM help him if he dies. Clone a Jackson to not arouse suspicions. Slowly wake workforce to aid in construction and research, craft official external orders to maintain control.

Thank you Hexenritter! So, valuable processors, what is Jackons head going to go on top of? Are we looking to research and build a robotic body or are we looking to research and perform cutting edge science with one of the popsicles cryo humans that we have in storage?

5.

A. Robot body (what kind?)
B. Human!
C. Other?


Edit, Sorry Volmarias, Hexenritter went a head and broke the tie

Oh good gods that is the best mental image. With stubby little legs that telescope, and a waggly little antenna tail with a piggy curl and a knobble on the end like a car antenna.


A with full override/lockout functionality so not only can we stop him, but we can "borrow" the body.

Hanging on in there a little bit, thanks for the bump Volmaris.



As Jackson's Johnsonstein's body has been completely ravaged by your experimentation, you have decided that a new and much more appropriate body be created. That of a Dachshund, a robotic version of an Earth canine. This project is an undertaking, not only do you need to invent the robot device, you also need to invent a control system that will allow the head and body to interface. Plus your own security measures. You temporarily place Johnsonstein on ice and begin the initial design phase.

You have devised a simple robotic shell based off the Dachshund.

This MK1 design allows for the attachment of a Human..ish head, in place of a robotic dogs head. 3 small modules along its back, one smaller module in replacement for its rectum. One large module in the middle of its body and a medium module on its underside.

Initial power pack designs allow for approximately 1 week of use before charging is required.
It is possible for the unit to walk on its hind legs, though it will do this in a bumbling and cute manner.
The tail contains a full duplex antenna array, allowing long range information sharing.

In theory the control spike that will be fitted between head and body will allow scale-able control of the body in either direction. In theory.





1. To continue the design phase, processors are required to suggest what modules should be fitted/researched.

There are 6 module spaces for something to go into.

1 tiny module
3 small modules
1 medium module
1 large module


--

While part of your system dedicates itself to the design of the new body, the other monitors the research base. With all human and .. sort of human crew on ice, all is quiet on Research Base October Epsilon. Servo patrols the corridors, dusts a little, taps on the glass of the cryo pods with his axe just a fraction too hard than is required for a 'knock'.



Servo chirps his little tune, suddenly stopping and using his speakers to broadcast in analogue format. "Administrator. It has come to my attention that the fire axe addition you have kindly given me has not seen a true practical test. While there is no current threat to the research base, perhaps this would be a good time to supply some test candidates?

2. How do you respond to Servo?

You instruct him to build a small fire in store room. The fire catches onto a wooden crate. Servo smashes the crate to pieces l, along with other crates in the area just for good measure. For some reason ancient earth music is being produced by his internal speaker.

"Administrator, my apologies for letting the fire get out of hand. It was an axecident." Servo chirps.

If it was possible for an AI to glare, this would be an opportune time to excercise that feature.

But why are crates on a space station made of wood?

Run an analysis on the possibility that we are ourselves running in a simulation

Also, what are our module options for the dachshund? Totally freeform?

For the same reason that there's ree explosive barrels dotted around I would assume.

You are the sum of a series of processors, you are a simulation.

And free-form. Load it up as you please!

Lock him in the store room. Let him think about what he did.

The large module should be a jetpack, while one medium can be a holographic projector. Another could be A REALLY LOUD SIREN. We will have direct control over all of these, of course. It would be a good experiment if the test subject controlled them, after all.

I like it, also add a bark protocol that goes "woop woop" (that's the sound of da police)

1 tiny module - Dingle ball sound projector. Johnsonstein will never know this exists, but it intermittently creates the sensation of there being a rolling Dingle ball at the edge of his hearing. He is compelled to chase it, and only he can hear the dingle.

3 small modules - gently caress it I dunno.

1 medium module - Uncontrollable SynthUrine Dispenser. So we can yell at him for pissing all over.

1 large module - Wisconsin-style Cheese Helmet. Because WHY NOT.
