章節 3: [Depth 002]
//I need a ship game that's not Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts or World of Warships, so roll in your suggestions people!
Also, sci-fi recommendations are very welcome, I love sci-fi.
Has anyone here watched Battlestar Galactica? I fucking love that show, the "new" one that is.//

[Modernization at 85%]
[Beginning central processor augmentation]
The world is viewed differently by each individual species. Dogs don't perceive colour the same way humans do. Spiders almost can't see at all with their eyes and bats are literally blind, using echolocation to navigate through the environment. The way USS Kirk sees the world around itself is not much different from a computer, giving each individual shape and object a specific code consisting of 0 and 1s.
It was simply the way the ship's processor distinguished individual things. Humans distinguish shapes by sight and sometimes touch, being able to associate triangular shapes with, well, triangles, as they are familiar with them. USS Kirk doesn't see the shape directly, but rather as a series of numbers floating in front of more numbers and so on. It's like everything it sees is a series of long lists of code that it interprets as objects. For humans, this is difficult to imagine as they aren't born this way. But, for USS Kirk, this is pretty much normalcy. This is how it has always been, and so the ship itself in turn can't properly imagine the way humans see. It's a complicated matter of psychology depicted on a sentient being that isn't human. USS Kirk is a warship first and foremost, and therefore it has no need for such thoughts.
At least, it didn't. Now, with an ongoing upgrade to its Union Core and therefore processing power, the way USS Kirk perceived the world slowly changed. Where it once struggled to properly formulate even its own personality was now a lot of space to shape its own character. It still wouldn't possess enough processing power to have a mental model, but it felt... good! It felt amazing to finally be, to exist as more than just a hunk of metal.
But, something was wrong. The upgrades were carefully installed and implemented into the ship's form in the dry dock. And even then, a mistake occurred. Every Fog vessel was built with a hidden line of code beneath an uncountable amount of numbers. This code emotionally bound those capable of becoming "people" to following the Admirality Code's orders, while the "simpleminded" did as they were told without the need for such a line of code.
Once part of the "simpleminded", USS Kirk would need the hidden code to be implemented into its system for it to "function properly". However, a glitch, an error or perhaps even an act of fate occurred during its refit.
The hidden line of code was never programmed into its central processing unit...
[Modernization of "Fleet of Fog" USS Kirk...]
[COMPLETED]
Real-world consciousness returned to the frigate, and for the first time in its short life, it saw the world through "human" eyes. The shapes, the air, the very world were no longer a bunch of 0 and 1s strung together like a tightly weaved cloth. No, it was almost similar to a blind person being able to see for the first time.
The ship rolled off the dry dock and took in the beautiful expanse of the blue sea, wordlessly. While the Admirality Code dictated the Fog vessel's actions, there was a certain leeway of freedom granted to the intelligent. After all, the ones higher on the pyramid were meant to recreate humans, and humans were famously known for being creatures that demanded freedom.
USS Kirk allowed itself to bully bask in the coldness of the ocean, and despite not having a mental model to convey its true feelings, it smiled on the inside. It was taken back by the beauty of the world that was beyond the 0 and 1s it always saw.
It was... something otherwordly for the once "dumb" warship. Now, with these upgrades, USS Kirk truly gained what mankind refers to as a "sense of oneself", more commonly simply called... "humanity".
USS Kirk soon realised that it possessed freedom unlike any other Fleet of Fog ship. Yet, it didn't alarm anyone of its missing line of code. It didn't ask for repairs or anything like that. No, it accepted its "defect" without so much as a word of complaint. Because, fundamentally, it was meant to replicate human behaviour to augment and better Fog battle tactics. The unintentional side effect of this however was Kirk gaining something that it should by no means have as a weapon...
Morality. Curiosity. A bottled-up sense of adventure and most of all... desire. It didn't know what this desire was. What it truly wanted. But, it was like the whole world opened to its eyes and it could finally explore all the world had to offer.
This, however, was easier said than done. Fleet of Fog controlled the oceans and disobeying the Admirality Code spelt certain destruction for the warship. So, it would have to become sly. It would need cunning tactics and the unexpected human element in its way of thinking if it hoped to gain that which it for the first time desired.
USS Kirk would need to bid its time and wait for the correct opportunity to arise. Think of a plan, and then, reluctantly, augment its very self to compete with the strongest war machines on the sea. The likes of Bismarck, Iowa and even the Supreme Flagship herself, Yamato, would have to either fall or make way for the oncoming storm...
