What are they in the lore of Disco? I know AIs themselves can be pretty much anything that is robotic and can think but those two ships are some kind of specific AI right?
The constructed themselves and are independant unit from anything but their own AI.
Anyone roleplaying AI Drone and AI Cruiser as human-controled/owned ship is lacking knowledge in AI lore (which is short and clear - they're independant "thing") and is not performing proper roleplay.
They're merely vessels of alien origin of which are controlled by an artificial intelligence. Role play with them is fairly open.
There was the Harvester faction once upon a time that had its very own lore and role play, but I'm not sure if the AI ID is tied to that faction. Since both the SMA and the VE use the AI ID also.
Wouldnt give to much attention to the harvesters thing. there are lots and lots of mistakes, contradictions, impossibilities, and so on in it. altho kudos to them for trying it, must have taken alot of work.
A Psalm out of the outcast history books.
The dons are our shepherds; I shall not want. They make us live with a cause; They lead us trough the still vasts of space. They restore our souls; They lead us in the paths of righteousness For The Orange Dream. Yai, though we fly through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil; For the Spirits are with us; Your leadership and Your cardamine, they comfort us. You prepare a safe home for us in the presence of our enemies; Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us All the days of our life; And we will dwell in the house of the outcasts Forever
- the only place they are "available" in sirius is on gammu, kappa. - a planet so remote that its at the very edge of explored space
- the orbit of that planet was and is still guarded by nomads
- those AI are meant to be "precursers" of the nomads... manufactured by the founders , the DK.
- that is also why they resemble the shape of the 100% biological nomads... the AI were "von Neumann, Berserker probes" build by the DK... but it turned out that the concept of nomads as caretakers was a lot more efficient.
- so the AI project got abandoned, the automatic facilities way below the surface of gammu turned off
- when zoner settlers came to gammu and made planetfall, they happened to activate one of the facilities - which in turn also activated the nomads "defense mechanism"
- soon afterwards, nomads spilled out of omicron delta to surround gammu
- the settlers tried to flee the orbital bombardement - only to run into the blockade in high orbit
- officially ... no settler survived.
- the AI facilities remained active though - and from time to time, they convert sufficient matter to build another ship...
- these ships are still "von Neumann" or "Berserker" probes ... they are not human, nor can they be influenced by humans.
for those who do not know what a "von neumann" probe is....
Actually, Jinx, you're very close to something we were RP'ing in the SMA. We were looking for specific code modules to help us grow new ships that had been left by the DK somewhere in Sirius. We dug through a lot of defective alpha-code memory modules (AI speak for artifacts) for good ones - normally you'd find maybe one good one out of 500,000 bad ones.
Course, now that the AI ID has officially been castrated, not much purpose in the whole thing now.
