How insane would it be to trigger the LA's kill-cycle then run the gently caress away? They're surely designed for short-term operation and won't have a long lifespan once active.

How far away are we from being able to bring the rest of Foregone Conclusion's systems online? Using local tech as a substitute for unavailable Archon components. I don't like running around in a warship with its main gun dead.

This is an Archon ship. The Archons built / were allied with the Mechanoids until they turned. It probably has an IFF beacon. Find it and turn it off.

Voting to make small talk during the flight over here. Our instrument plays sourly. Catgut and brass let us drop the bass. ("We hijacked an Archon cruiser but it's in pretty sorry shape. I don't suppose you know where we can find components to restore a beam laser array?")

Ask the installation how much the odds of a physical defence improve if the Foregone Conclusion joins in*. Or would the VI be too distracted helping the installation to effectively use the ship as well?

Another question which might seem odd to ask at this exact moment but is nonetheless quite important: how much latitude does Columbia's programming allow her? In a completely hypothetical situation would she be able top recognise that a shift in the tide of the war means that the Nephilim are now allied to the Inheritor species? Or would she be obligated to purge them from the system until ordered otherwise by an actual Archon?

Crazycryodude posted:If the problem is bandwidth... can we just dock with CentCom and plug straight in? Obviously that's by far the riskiest because if Columbia goes nuclear we have zero way out, but it also potentially gives us the highest chance of saving her because we could do both physical and electronic defense and who knows what else. This sounds good. Launch our fighters, then dock and have Wukong coordinate the defence while we either Hack The Planetoid (potentially giving us an opportunity to sneakily upgrade our access while Columbia isn't resisting), or put our knowledge of the Symphony to work and haxx0r the mechanoids.

In Plan Kitchensink, who flies the ship? Both Wukong and 10/6 will be busy. Also, we really need an answer on that Nephilim question before deciding whether we want Centcom to explode or not. Can we find a delicate way to ask Columbia?

Blasphemaster posted:Out of curiosity, is it possible to make a V.I. these days without artifact-grade Human hardware? The line between human and archon technology is a bit fuzzy, since there was no catastrophic transition. The archons never lost the secrets of human technology they just... weren't very interested. Biotech was much more their speed. Given the lack of a large industrial base making components for the tools to make the components for the tools to make the....they tended to stick to the simpler and easier types of 'hard' tech where they couldn't make a biotech replacement, but given the time and resources to dedicate to a project they could have duplicated any existing piece of human tech just fine. The War was a catastrophic transition, and huge amounts of technology have now been lost.
