It has finally happened! Ahead of schedule too!
N7 Is no longer an uninhabitable ashen wasteland, no now it's just an uninhabitable wasteland! The ash clean up has been completed!
I'm so happy about this it's ridiculous! Mere seconds after the last of the ash was collected I start the boot up process for the remaining Spires that were still deactivated.
Now I just need to start pumping in the correct gases to correct the minor imbalances in its atmosphere, that just weren't important when it was stuck in it's ash drowned state. Oh don't want that, as much fun as it would be to see what would evolve in an atmosphere composed entirely out of bleach, that's not what I want.
Hmm, so much to do.
The tree continues to inch over the plates of the Tree Hub, climbing up the immobile frame along with vines, and even flowers. Inching over the moss that had already covered it's frame.
I estimated it wouldn't even take a year for the Tree to grow over the un-moving frame to the point of rendering it unrecognizable. The Plant seeming using the insignificant amount of energy the frame leaked to accelerate it's growth.
I should probably name the tree's species, same with the Spider, ants, and bear things. But that can wait for now, seeing as I need to focus on the stream of information the spear was trying to communicate with.
It was, based on what I could decipher from it's attempt at communication, confused. It seemed to be asking if the life on this planet had come from a black sphere? Based on what I remember from Evangelion lore, it was trying to ask if Lilith was the one who brought the plants of my Garden to life.
My denial seemed to confuse it even more.
It wasn't until I sent it a data packet that essentially contained a video of my efforts to terraform the planet and the others, that it realized it's creators had nothing to do with the life present here.
I still wasn't sure how I could read the emotions of an entirely stationary spear, but it almost seemed to have entered a state of shock.
I took it's silence as an opportunity to ask my own question. So Using a similar method to it's own I asked what it was doing here, or how it got here in the first place.
That started off an entirely new stream of data, dense enough to crack a moon if it had physical form. It's times like this that I was glad I had enough processing power to essentially freeze time while I tried to figure out what the spear was saying.
So all of the debris in space.
Most of it I had just been shoving into the asteroid belt that was hanging around at the edge of the Solar System, the rest I had been tearing apart and adding to my own materiel storage.
However at this point I think I should stop doing that, mostly because the asteroid belt has quadrupled in size. it was also fairly hazardous to navigate. You see crashing three planets together tends to create some pretty strange anomalous materials. They had been fairly harmless when drifting around as cosmic dust, but now that they have been gathered up in one area...
Well my sensors are having some issues mapping it out, lets just leave it at that. It's probably a guaranteed death field for anyone not me, randomly existent asteroids, and one's so radioactive they could give the systems Binary Star a run for it's money. Some of the asteroid have a trajectory that is literally unpredictable, think it's going right and it will go left. think it's going left and it will go right. Think it's going to move? it will freeze in to total stillness, not even moving on an atomic level.
Yeah, that asteroid belt is a certified deathtrap.
So you know how I was complaining about how large the Spider were growing?
I can no longer complain, seeing as the weird pack of bear things seemingly just keep growing as long as they don't die. The largest Bear is currently a walking hill at the moment.
It's so ridiculous to watch this thing waddle about, and it does waddle seemingly to large to walk properly now.
Fuck It I'm gonna go make a dragon, can't be make this place any more of a death world.
Okay So I have two planets drifting uselessly through space. Lets get these thing spinning an into stable orbits. Ugh, at least I don't have do to much messing around with their composition, since they were literally built one atom at a time by the Solar Scale Fabricator.
Huh now that I'm looking at it, it looks like it used some of the Anomalous material from the Asteroid belt in the manufactured planets core.
Hopefully that doesn't cause any issues in the future.
Whatever, I need to make these their own PSU's and then jump start their not so molten cores. Thankfully I've had to do this in the past so it should be fairly easy.
Now lets see, what kind of atmosphere should I plan for these two planets. Actually Should I make them any moons once they have a set orbit?
So much to do.
Somewhere on N5 A spider throws a small rock, a robot catches it and throws it back.
Somewhere else a robot throws a stick, and a spider runs after it. bringing it back slight chewed on a for the robot to through again.
Elsewhere a Bearlike creature sneaks up behind a spider, pokes it before running away as the spider jumps into the sky.
I look at it all, and non of it as a tree grows slowly over my armor. As Blueish purple grass thrives amongst tree's, and vines. As creatures both strange and wonderful scatter about the foliage in a forest that covers a planet.
As My emotional Restraints fade away for the first time since I woke up.
I wonder if robots can cry?
