Well done Julian, give her something she’ll want, no string attached.
I gave my wife a necklace with the inscription “I will always be there
for you” she had I don’t know how many emotions run through her
face, then hugged me for a long time. I held her until she stopped
shaking. (reaches for the tissues)
Argh, not good, now I’m worried for the ‘Droids,” this has borg written
ALL over it. Hellbender? A massive EMP? Or a grav bomb? Inquiring
minds want to know 😉
Etienne will be crying when she opens the box.
Julian had ask for help to get the gift from Etienne’s friend.
The only way to stop such a force is to hit them hard and leave nothing operating.
Then learn by studying the robots to learn were their home planet is if they have one.
She might cry or she might get so happy she
forgets herself and hugs him, then gets
flustered and defencive. She reminds me so
much of my wife minus the goth makeup.
And the hyper vebalations, she’d go quiet
and angry.
Now I’m wishing I hadn’t mentioned the Berzerkers. The ST-TOS
episode The Doomsday Machine was inspired by those things.
Of course we also have Replicators from Stargate SG-1 and others.
Yes. Started as huge intelligent warships with only two tasks.
Make more Berzerkers and eradicate all organic life. Created
by a race long ago in another galaxy who were their second
or third victims.
Whatever this “Hellbender option” is, I hope it won’t preclude
intel gathering. They vitally need to know what these things are
capable of, and just as vitally how far they have spread and if
possible where they came from. Odds are way too high right now
that there won’t be any reasoning with them, and that ALL
“biological life” is endangered, right down to microbes.
This reminds me a bit of the Picard first season final
episode when he becomes an android and the android
he was helping calls open a portal to a dimension of
machines that want to wipe out all organic life.
It could be a race of machines that were developed as
helpers that went rouge. Lord knows that’s been done.
Or it could be the attack machines created by a race
like the funky frogs that can’t fight themselves so they
built them. Finding a race/group that could take down
both the core and the GC would scare a lot of peoples.
She's wary.

This has Von Neumann written all over it.

My wife would have lobbed this at me quick HEH!

Were you referring to the Fred Saberhagen “Berserker” scifi series?
I remember reading those, lo, too many decades ago.
