[POV Mother]

Location: 'Draconequus Continuum'.
Universe 13 (owned by Lord Discord)
current Sector: 5/10
(Planet and raw mass collection).
Hiveship Dreadnought 'Antaeus Legancy'. Unshackeld A.I. Core Matrix Mother.
En route to Equus Terraforming Station 'Moon'.
ETA: 10 Minutes until we arrive at the Moon station.

Mother Core Matrix self test:
"My repairs are still in progress...
Currently my Families composition is:
- 477 Organic children
- 107 Synths children
- 1 guest VIP quadrapet Kitten ambassador Fluffels of the Abesinian Kingdom.

Note to self:
- All Organic familie members ready to perform service and fullfilling there dutys ones i landed.

• 21 Synths previously in damaged state are still in accelerated mental restoration. ( their minds get connected to VR environmental units with maximal Simulation speed for mental repairs. Example: Physical time 1 Min = Simulated time 10 Min. )
  The lost in void of space survived Trauma is going to be overcome hopefully soon. My poor children...

Im currently loaded with:
200/200 Mega-Tons capacity. Maybe a bit more or less.
100 do to external connector structure.

22 Organic corpses in cryo inventory, i'm planing to put them to rest somewhere on the Moon Station ones we can spare the time...

The 3 Synths body in recycling que will be taken care of soon.

49,9 Mega-Tons of organic Foodsupples, 49,9 Mega-Tons of manufacturing materials for Synths, 19,9 Mega-Tons of Synths Foodsupplys, 10 Mega-Tons of Civilian grade infrastructure hardware, 19,9 Mega-Tons of military grade hardware, 50 Mega-Tons of raw materials.
A hole lot of space rocks in the cryosleep bays for later use.

My Dreadnought Hiveship status:
"Deck 1E, 1F, 1G & 1H, 13F, 13H,13I & 13J, 20D, 20E, 20F & 20G breaches are fixed on the outside but the painjob is still missing, i think i go from the blood red and black to something more friendly... Perhaps pink... Or im actually asking my children.

No atmosphere leaks in any previously breached sectors. Until i can fix them i better keep the places in mind...
Repairs still in progress as medium priority.

Medium to heavy damage all over me... My primary hull plating seen better days, but at least my sensors indicate i don't lose any atmosphere. The secondary hull is still littered with impact holes. I hope we get that fixed before we fly to Equus and deliver Fluffels to his Nation.
Just in case i invide them to dinner!
O it will be glorious ♡ End of self diagnosis."

Matrix Mother was quite satisfied with herself. It was strange to her how mutch she changed in a few days real time. Than again it's quite different experience the world when ones own perception is quite different in matters of time experienced.

[third person view]

The Hiveship entered the Atmosphere shield without any problems. After arriving near the center of a cluster if megastructures she attempted to land.
Noone expected the ground below them to dissaper like ice on a heated engine.

Apperently the entire area was meters thick in Moondust / Ash. The vision out of cameras and sensors readings went to hell, after the first landing attempt. There Navigation Shield literally was so thickly surrounded by Moondust / Ash that it almost overloaded the shields. A estimated 30 minute realtime adjustment had them on 125% output and modded to keep the strain for a while on all emitters simultaneous.

The second attempt failed do to uneven ground, but the third time was the successful touch down they all hoped for.

Mother build with it's creation engines a small base just big enough to keep the crew bearly situated for later on. After all for now they would stay in Mothers embrace for the time being.

With its Navigation Shield under constant strain did the Power of the ship was focused on the creation engines and life support only outside the Shield system. The Pollution towards the Shield practicaly blinded the ship. They had to send a few Synths in Eva suits out to mark construction areas.

After that they constructed all around the mighty Dreadnought. The small base modules would be connected with eatch other. After they completed the task, did they drop the Navigation shield and everything become ash gray.

Unfortunately the ash layer was quite fine in nature. It would seriously increase viacle maintenance, if wheels and axes would have to be clean every few hours. The funny fix was unexpected from a organic crew member having worked under water for a few years. He see the situation quite differently than anyone else. The Moon surface was currently more of a ash ocean than a sandy tundra. They needed a few hours of re-configuration, but in the end they used there Aquatic building tree to make Space walkers.

Fitting in recycling unit mounted on there back inside the cargo compartment. That wasted a lot of material since there overall frame needed upscaling, but in the end of the limited time before the Moon repositioning they had a Aquatic based Colony for roughly 500 Crew member living space build. Plus two upscaled Aquatic walkers with recycel units build in.

To everyones surprise did the Moon movements were not at all to feel, being on it's surface seem to negate the sensory input of movement. Everyone noticed a 2 G increase for the few Minutes their Moon moved.

One Hour after the Moon had been last moved, did they build two additional two recycling walkers.

To the surprise of everyone did the moondust / ash was with a few extra steps changed into energy for the Ship and consequently the creation Engines.

After there discovery that all the problematic ash is basicly one unrefined mass of ressources do the real work started. They upgraded the basic Aquatic base to levels were at the next day the Ship had to be relocate eight times to build extensions of living space and manufacturing facilitys.

[POV Mother]

Five months of bussy workshifts did the entire Antaeus Legancy crew / familie build a base structure so expended they had the megastructures surrounded with corridors for passing by up to hovering train stations for being able to travel one end of the colony to the next in less than 10 hours.

That said all they did was preparing the exploration of the Moon surfaces and megastructures that looked like huge gray mountens. One of there Expeditions found out that every megastructures was melted from the outside shut, there for didn't have any entry options trough door / windows or ventilation.

Meaning they had to cut themself into this gigantic mounten sized complexes.

To everyones surprise was Atmosphere inside them. It wasn't breathable while it showed that the outside might be looking like gray melted cheese, but the sturdy structures where still soundly intact from the inside.

While some of them focused on expanding the base structure perimeters did other study the
Megastructures of the Moon.

I in the mean time slowly filled our ranks with Personaly controlled Synths units without personality core units.

8 Months after the landing on the Moon.
[Pov Mother continues]

Our former traumatic mental damaged Synths are restored. About damn time... The Simulation was running on maximal capacity, so while we physicaly only waited for a bit more than 8 months they spend years on there trauma and other things...

They show a efficiency increase of 25% or more.

Unfortunately we lost our mental care team in the incident of the asteroids that hit me back than. I learned a lot about my crew in the mean time. Lichtbringer sure did a number on us...

All organics are military focused personal of there profession. There actual knowledge in there fields is second hand at best.

But all Synths are Civilians and construction in background. They all have a military body variation. I wonder what Lichtbringer was thinking to do with that set up...

Anyways...

The organic part of my familie shows great discipline. At least that did the maniac right.
My Synths pick up the slack the organics show in their job profession. Do to this did everyone knows everyone by now. We have almost no singels anymore yay ♡!

I'm going to get the Captain shipped with someone sooner or later!

To my surprise the Synths population is quite polymagone. The avarage Synths has 2-3 organic partner's. At this rate i expect population growth soon!

Currently the unnamed Colony city that is now build for supporting 5.000 crew is still under construction.

By now five Power Towers were constructed with generators to supply the Synths population and all wi-fi tools in every conor of the planed Mega-colony. More are under construction for the following colony extending construction plans.

The expansions of the cluster of megastructures we build around them allows us fast movements between them. Our Mega colony is seemingly only in between huge Atmosphere production complexes.

Since all the Ash might re-ignite with a breathable atmosphere, did everyone agree to keep them de-activated until further notice.

It's now 12 Months since we landed on the Moon.
[Pov Mother continues]

My cargo extensions have been removed and everything is now well stored away.
We have stopped expanding the living space for now, 8000 crew slots worth of space should be enough. We have build re-creation centers since the endless gray environment is making our people depressed.

Some like to flee in there free time in VR rooms to spike up there dull routine...
We have all agreed to remove the Gray full color pattern and gray decails out of the Antaeus working uniforms.

We didn't expected to progress this fast, but all the recycled Moondust / Ash has given us enough raw energy to build without wasting our own reserves to harshly.

[Pov Captain Antaeus]

Month 16 on the Moon surface and inside the Mega Colony Antaeus Legancy.

Mother had insisted to re-take her old name
'Die Wiege des Lebens' since it's fits her Nickname a lot better. The Megacity in development now named 'Antaeus Legancy' is the new home of the organic and Synths Assemblers.

The Atmosphere generators are roughly explored and we even found out that with nano dissassembler filters near the megastructures we could probably restore them to function.

We miss the knowledge to do so without risking damaging them more than they already are.
Fluffels has learn to write and speak perfect Viper and Split tongues and can even understand our Binäre Code. While he couldn't help us translate all the documents found inside the Moon megastructures, do we learned that the Griffon Kingdom of old seem to be responsible to operate this megastructures in the past.

We assume they where the facilitys maintenance crew of long gone days.

[Pov Captain Antaeus]

Moon time month 20.

We are almost 2 years on the Moon and have archived a lot. We used the stored Synths bodys and equicment with the old Soulcatcher Legancy system to boost our workforce.

The Megacity in development named 'Antaeus Legancy' is currently big enough to house 30.000 crew. We have build Power Towers to support a bit more than that. Better save then sorry!

Currently we have a population as follows:
15.000 Synths with Soulcatcher Chips.
477 Organics + 10 ( yes we have now our first adult sized infants born in our new home! )
107 Synths + 3 ( 3 Synths adult sized infantile younglings to boost our future population )
1 guest VIP Fluffels that has been promoted to honorary familie member.

Anyway... About the Soulcatcher workforce...
They are sentient and sapient, but we noticed how different the modded personalitys are.

We can never allow them to have a free will as the original crew and for good reasons. We tested 10 of eatch templet in VR Room letting them belive they are in the real world. The Simulation was running on full speed. After 32 day real time 320 simulated days they started to change in there behavior so drastic that we feared that the mods restored by our forerunners might have corrupted them beyond saving. There are literally in 3 cases selfdestructive behavior was like watching a corrupted Assembler Synths of the first generation run amok. It was a massacre...

All Soulcatcher Synths have now reinforced personality restrictions and have there pigment generators removed. They all have a crimson torso with stripes on there limbs to make em visualy stand out.

[Pov Captain Antaeus]

2 Years... It's now two years that we are living on the Moon. Guest VIP Fluffels is getting antsy to return home, since he now spend more than 4 years from his Kingdome. I think i can tell him we are ready soon. We are going to leave all Soulcatcher Synths on the Moon. I don't trust the templet personalitys... Not after what happen 2 weeks ago.

We run again tests on the Soulcatcher Chip Legancy personality and we had two very disturbing incidents.

1. The Entity templet Krocer somehow found out that his environment was simulated. He maker beware... He said: "There is no spoon" and proceeded to bend the reality restrictions on his area. Within 3 days he literally learned to ( and i quote: pull a superman ) fly. They where than insisting to be called all Neo.

I'm still investigate if it's some sort of hidden code.

1. A Krocer model of another test batch informed his fellow Templets of there situation. They than refused to do anything for three day straight, before they breach the VR security protocols and uploaded themself into empty Soulcatcher interfaces.

I feard they might try to free there fellow Soul Catcher copys being our main workforce and overtaking the hole megacity under construction, but they... They politely visited Mother and ask her to explain what happend.

Very long story short... We have now 30 copys of Krocer's in Orange-Red pigmentation awaiting there chance to become adults of our social Network.

By the maker... This never happend before. That actualy how our forerunners started, but this 'group of Humans' trys to integrate with us instead of exterminating there creators...
I really don't know what to think about it. Since they left the VR room they act like their templets that later run amok but... Their different if one observes them carefully.

Note to self: Consult Mother on adding them to a seperate Hivemind, just in case we need to use a forced temporary shutdown order... Better save than sorry.

[Pov Captain Antaeus]

2 Year and 3 Months.

Mother is repaired and refitted. She is back in War condition. Her guns will probably never see action again, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

The Crew will be me ( Captain Antaeus ), alongside 70 Synths. Bridge Sensor Officer HK047 Nickname 'Lazy eyes' has proven to be pretty reliable, when he has his head in the game and he will along side the organic crew be stationed here on the Moon to expand the Mega-Colony 'Antaeus Legancy' , while also finishing the analysis of the Atmosphere generators. When we return we might have actually access to 'Griffon languages'.

I and everyone else learned to speak Abesinian fluently. In fact we made it as common as Split tongue & Viper. Binär is only used while working on construction anymore.

Loaded with Food for Synths and organics alike and enough spare parts and materials to replace the crew twice over while holding enough raw materials to repair half the ship. We are ready.

We will fly to Equus in 2 weeks time.
Time to meet the Abesinian Ambassadors Nation.

If everything runs smooth we could invide them to come visit us, while we study the languages of Equus population.

Hopefully we can find something out about Queen Nightmaremoon and her location while avoiding contact with Equestria.

Should the Ursurper Princess Celestia have actually destroyed the Moon surface on purpose would our entire population be in extream danger.

Note to self: The megacity needs heavy heat reinforcement.

The atmosphere can't burn in it's condition, but it sure as the Creators madness can superheat the Moon by getting the Solarit Reactor that is used as their sun close enough to the Moon.

I have no doubt that Princess Celestia would see us all burn, when she could remove a threat to her reign hired by Lord Discord...

Hm...

Strange, why is she insisting on 'Princess' rather than 'Queen' ?
A leader in their social power structure is called a Queen not a Princess. Interessting she has some reasons not to claim it yet.

Unless this is a mindblowing oversized by any portions string of missunderstanding of unheard events...

Meh... Unlikely...

Equus, here - we - come !

Author's Note

About time to start the Foundations for the organic part of the familie and what later will follow the beginning of Equus repopulation on the Moons surface with our future friends!

What happend to Nightmare Stellar Moon you wonder?

[ No spoilers, sorry folks ]

Stay Cuddly
