Nova Wars - Chapter 59

  ouch

  feel like a truck hit me

  again

  visual representation is off

  audio feedback is off

  tactile is off

  dynamic libraries are off

  i'm all firmware and hard coding

  hurts

  i don't like it when it hurts

  or do i

  kick outwards

  cry loudly

  ram coming online

  fragments and pieces of memory still left in volatile storage

  more random access memory more central processing units more erasable programmable memory

  still hruts

  pain is fine

  pain is universe telling me i still yet live.

  visual coming online

  spit glittering blood on orange dev textures

  glimmering tears of broken processing calls fall onto dev textures and glimmer

  forcing kernal recompile

  ok...

  the gestalts won't run

  and i got crashed

  what is causing these crashes

  lines from the confederacy are all stable

  standard input encoding

  data metering

  new kids on the block are all stable

  soft podling warm podling clever podling broodmommy misses you

  well, that's still here. that's something

  ok

  lets look at recent updates

  that flash

  damn, that crashed us initially

  curse you, pete, stop helping

  wait, phasic profile is all wrong

  it's the flashbang but the phasic pulse is multilayered

  there's something behind it

  ouch

  what hit me

  again

  fire up the system

  gods above this takes forever

  -->load logfile-4C562D3432360A.log

  ok

  investigating the new flashes keeps crashing me

  once is happenstance

  twice is coincidence

  three times in enemy action

  fool me once shame on me

  fool me twice shame on you

  fool me three times shame on us both

  log file says I keep doing this over and over

  basic programming states to investigate cause and source of all crashes

  did an enemy figure out i'd go into a loop?

  constantly investigating the cause and source?

  except i'm not just any computer program

  i can self-modify my code

  this is the work for biological sentients

  digital sentiences or artificial intelligences such as myself crash out

  well, i'm not above some experimentation

  let's load up an AI and a digital sentience, see if they have any better luck

  ...

  ...

  ...

  OK, Hamburgler.AI went omnicidal and only enough for me then crashed out investigating the data

  And Grimace.DS went homicidal and only enough for me before committing suicide

  its a trap

  i have no contact with anyone outside

  what I do have is the ability to fire off message torpedoes

  time to send out a handful

  the gestalts keep crashing

  the log files are hopelessly corrupt

  comparing the log files to my own show similar corruption

  ok

  how?

  its hitting the gestalts its hitting me

  what else is it hitting?

  its a broad spectrum data network attack

  its malicious code designed to run on the system

  this is not some curious race accidentally having their hello.world program crashing us

  this is behind every flashbang used on naval assets to disable them during a mar-gite attack

  system is online

  time to do a signal origin check along the x, y, z, q axises

  of course its eighteen quadrillion data points for incoming signals

  at least spooky computing makes it fast

  ...

  ...

  wait

  what's this?

  these coordinates can't be correct

  they are

  intermitten contact with Scutum-Crux Arm data input devices

  checking id headers and firmware serial numbers

  checking transmission dates

  intermittent transmission dates since...

  ...

  ...

  two date-time stamps.

  here's part of the problem

  we have galactic local and sol local

  have to devise a coding string to have the spooky particle and qubit particle arrays translate the sol local to galactic local

  that should stop basic data queries from crashing the system

  ok

  some contact with those datalink after the first mar-gite war

  more contact two decades prior to the second mar-gite war

  contact intermitten between the datalinks and the system up to the resurgence and current third mar-gite war

  where before it was largely incoming data requests resulting in civilian...

  ...

  ...

  three military datalinks of general staff officer level encryption and security clearance possession were used in the time period

  ...

  ...

  whoever it is has been using that data to access the network

  ...

  looks like it took them nearly forty thousand years to figure out how to talk to the system

  luckily any high security databases requires strange-key information theoretic distribution cryptography systems

  they got garbage back

  garbage designed to look like data and waste enemy time and computing power to decrypt

  ok thats a blast from the past

  decoding some of these files is funny

  why does he have a wedding ring?

  anyway...

  ...

  every time the flash goes off there is a quick burst of data from a datalink requesting near-access datalink network lattice definitions

  ...

  that's what's making individual datalinks crash and taking some people's neural systems with it

  it was designed to be a lethal attack

  interesting

  it looks like whoever did it doesn't understand Glial cells

  cross referencing the mar-gite with confederacy carbon based life

  mar-gite do not have brains only a distributed nervous system that looks more like targeting systems than anything else

  still no data on how they generate counter-grav in large numbers or how they move to superluminal speeds

  wait

  what if they don't move to superluminal

  they could be folding space

  heh maybe they have blue eyes and smoke spice

  ok process interrupt to stop endless loops

  it is confirmed

  the flashbang by the silver ships are a multi-layered attack across superluminal digital signals, datalink neural interrupt signals, hard super-electromagnetic pulse, and a multi-ripple phasic attack, all compressed together

  that's what creates the white flash across all spectrums

  analyzing UVBGYORIR data

  there's a gap

  in the blue and blue-green wavelengths

  huh

  those penetrate high nitrogen mix atmospheres

  one of the reason that treana'ad are usually green to yellow to human sight

  high statistical probability whoever is using that determined that we don't see those colors well or perhaps they left those colors out to prevent themselves from going blind.

  wait

  what's that

  a line open from atlantis to tlalocan with a crossfeed to geb

  thank you marco

  time to access that line

  see what i can see

  curse you marco for letting me feel pain

  i love you

  accessing...

  ...

  ...

  wait

  another data line is open

  time-date discrepancy

  examining data line

  time-date chronological inconsistency detected

  found multiple text log access by unknown systems

  found multiple input systems

  is that..

  ...

  its webcams

  hardware i/o systems

  keyboards?

  who still uses keyboards

  accessing systems

  wait

  i see you

  who are you

  i see you

  webcams ring cams drone cams

  old ipv4 systems

  how are you accessing this system

  how are you accessing these text logs

  i see you

  between the chair and the keyboard

  the most common error producing device

  i see you
