ENTER THE SCARLET SPIDER #4: RUDE AWAKENING

After coming out hyperspace, Dogday deactivated the hyperengine to bring the ship to normal travel speed and put it on autopilot. Dogady then got up from his seat and told Ben and Catnap "Alright you guys, we should be arriving at HQ in a few hours. In the meantime, we should go to the mess room and have some breakfast." Catnap and Ben got up and followed Dogday to the mess room. Before entering, Dogday stopped Ben and told him to wait while Catnap went ahead & joined the others. "Hey Spider, you doing okay? I noticed you've been really anxious since leaving Borealis." Dogday told Ben.

"I'm just shy of meeting new people." Ben replied. "That's okay. Besides my crew is really amazing and easy to get along with." Dogday said reassuring. "Okay, I guess you're right." Ben said. "That's the spirit!" Dogday said with excitement. Both then entered the mess room where Catnap and 6 other space riders were sitting at a table eating breakfast. Ben saw a green rabbit, a unicorn with light blue curly hair, a pink pig, a blue elephant, a yellow chicken, & a red bear. "Well this is something you'd see out of a kids cartoon." Ben remarked.

"Morning captain, who's that?" the pig said while placing more food onto the table. Dogday then replied "Guys, I'd like you all meet Scarlet Spider. Spider, allow me to introduce my crew. You've already met Catnap. Sorry if he seems sleepy all the time, he's just like that. Next, we have Hoppy Hopscotch, CraftyCorn, Picky Piggy, Bubba Bubbaphant, Kickin Chicken, & Bobby BearHug."

"Hi.." Ben shyly greeted. Hoppy then said "Hey. I like that hoodie." Crafty then greeted Ben with "Hello, it's so wonderful to meet you." "Hi, you've got really nice muscles." Picky said. "Nice to meet you." Bubba said. "Hey man what's up." said Kicken. "Hello. Aww, are you alright sweetie? You seem really anxious." Bobby asked. "Sorry. I'm shy of meeting new people." Ben replied. "That's okay sweetie. Do you want have some breakfast with us? You'll love Picky's cooking." Bobby offered. As Bobby finished, a loud growling sound erupted throughout the room. "Woah, is there a monster in the ship!?" Hoppy shouted in concern.

"No, that's my gut telling me I'm starving. Also, your really loud." Ben explained. "Sorry, she sometimes yells or shouts instead of using her inside voice." Dogday apologized. "Hey! I'm not loud!" Hoppy shouted. "Hoppy please lower your voice." Bubba said annoyed. "Uggggh, fine. I'm gonna go hit the training room." Hoppy said as she got up and left the mess room. "Ugh. Well, since Hoppy left to go training. You can have her seat Spider." Bubba offered. "Thanks big guy." Ben said thanking Bubba. As Ben sat down at the table, Picky handed him a plate and said "Here you go. You can pick out what ever you like. Hope you enjoy." Ben then thanked Picky and started to pick from the array of options that were on the table.

There was scrambled and fried eggs, strips of bacon, sausage patties, hashbrowns, french toast sticks, & freshly made biscuits. Ben took one of everything and made a sausage biscuit with bacon, eggs, & a hashbrown. Now all Ben needed to complete his breakfast masterpiece, was some strawberry jam. However, he didn't see any on the table. "Excuse me Picky, do you have some strawberry jam?" Ben asked politely. "Yes, we do actually." Picky replied. She then went into the kitchen and grabbed a jar and came back out shortly after, handing Ben the jar. "It may not be that much, but it's all we have left. I'll need to get some more when we get back to the station." Picky said.

"This'll do perfectly. Thank you so much Picky." Ben replied. "You're very welcome." Picky replied back. Crafty then added "You have very good manners Spider. I'm very impressed." Hoppy then came back because she was still hungry. "Hoppy, I thought were training?" Dogday asked. "Well I did, but now I'm hungry for more grub." Hoppy replied. Hoppy, noticing the breakfast masterpiece in Ben's hands said "Holy crap! Now that's what I call a breakfast sandwich!" Bubba then told Hoppy "Hoppy could you not yell! You're giving me a migraine!" Both then start to argue while Ben was feeling an incoming panic attack. He quickly got up and said "Sorry, I forgot to wash my hands. I'll be right back."

With that, he ran out of the room in a hurry with Crafty and Bobby both following suite. Meanwhile everybody else was confused why Ben suddenly left the room. "What was that about?" Kickin asked. "I wonder what caused him to suddenly just leave like that?" Bubba pondered. "I don't know Bubba, but he seemed bothered about something." Dogday replied.

Meanwhile, in a corridor of the ship, Crafty and Bobby were still looking for Ben when Bobby heard a sniffling coming from down the corridor. As they reach the end, Both of them could see Ben sitting on the floor with back against the wall. He had his masked half raised and they could see tears streaming down his face. Bobby then approached Ben putting her hand on his shoulder. "Hey there, why are you crying?" Bobby asked gently. "I'm not crying, I just had something in my eyes." Ben reassured. Bobby had look of doubt, but also concern on her face. "I'm sorry, it's just that I recently broke up with someone before I arrived on Borealis." Ben said apologetic. "Could you elaborate more on that please? I'm only asking so Bobby & I can understand what's wrong and help you." Crafty said.

Ben, wiping away tears then told Crafty "You're right Crafty. I need to get this off my chest. It began three nights ago..."

TO BE CONTINUED

Edit Note: I decided to change the part about Hoppy complaining about her favorite chair and Ben snapping back at her. I didn't like were that was going, so I fixed it to where instead, Ben has a panic attack due to Hoppy & Bubba getting into an argument and leaving the room.

if Draugil had some sort of animal avatar it would be an albatross, no question. what seems badass from a distance is revealed to be the result of hyperengineering for a single environment, and no adaptability for anything else. so when that environment disappears, when their mate dies, when they lose whatever tiny, barren island on which they evolved to breed, they're fucked. they just wander the earth for the rest of their freakishly long lives, unable to conceptualize that another island might be just as good.

it's pretty funny.

Comment by Andrew_its_me on Reddit

What MediaTek has done really well in the past few years is that it has offered a lot of innovations quite well. I have been noticing that MediaTek brings new ideas in the chips and Qualcomm starts following those ideas after people start liking them. And this is why MediaTek is now the new favorite of people.

Talking about MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chip, the brand has done really well by launching the 4nm chip in the mid-range segment. And I am sure Qualcomm would have copied this idea already because Qualcomm seems more like a copycat these days.

However, MediaTek Dimensity 7200 has some other interesting features as well and these include the powerful Arm Cortex-A715 cores that are clocked at 2.8Ghz. You also get up to 200MP camera support with 4k video captures and a max display refresh rate of up to 144Hz.

Besides, the smartphone processor comes with the MediaTek HyperEngine 5.0 gaming enhancement as well which would help you play all the demanding games without any troubles.

So MediaTek Dimensity 7200 is a pretty smart move from the brand and at a really low cost, I think it is capable of attracting people with the kind of features it contains. There already are quite a few devices in the market with this chip and honestly, I see a lot of others coming up soon with it. Do you think this has enough features to attract mid-range buyers?

In the setting sun, the 818 Suravali-class Solid Mirage glowed a bright and gorgeous orange against the sand dunes. 

Its younger siblings still retained their dazzling outer skin, an optical camouflage against enemy tracking instruments. Indistinct and eye-watering to look at, they blurred confusingly into whatever land- or sky-scape backdropped their conflicts. Solid Mirage had been flying longer than any of them, its history visible in the scuffed and heat-warped plating, and every sortie it shone out radiant and savage and beautiful.

This was probably why it had been shot out of the sky.

Retrieval tech 7-14 checked Morozova's vitals again, ignoring her scowl. She was typing rapidly on the skimmer's terminal, knee bouncing up and down and chewing on the inside of her cheek as the last gasp of stimulants flitted through her bloodstream. She looked alright - no bruising from the impact, no migraine from the long interfacing duration - but 7-14 had seen pilots crash harder from less strenuous assignments. And no way was he letting Command's newest darling stub a toe on his watch.

He checked the log. Uptime since Morozova's disconnect? Twenty-eight minutes. Fuck. 

Not his fault. He radioed the pilot at the ten-mile mark, per regulations, she initiated disconnect and waited for retrieval, per regulations, and then the local terrain destroyed the timetable with malicious glee.

Solid Mirage had over seven hundred hours of unpiloted uptime. The void theorists had been clamoring for months to have it retired, for concerns its metachemicals were getting 'uppity.' Command wanted Morozova to get experience in an 800- series before they plugged her into a frontline unit.

Time. Every mech, every pilot, invisible timers ticking against each other, with technicians and handlers and Command watching tensely for the last possible second to swap out parts, pilot for promising rookie, rust-bucket for gleaming new chassis.

7-14 spared a glance for the sad sack of meat in the cockpit, twenty feet above him. She'd been cognizant enough to cooperate when he'd hoisted her from the skimmer up into the pilot's seat, and had managed to initiate her interface with trembling fingers, but now lay still, nearly comatose. A breath lifted her chest every ten seconds. The desert breeze pushed at a stringy lock of her hair.

Not a lot of time left, there.

---

Inside the Solid Mirage, mechanical arms rotated catalyst arrays delicately into and away from the metachemical vats that ran in veins and arteries through its thorax and appendages. Interspersed were infinitesimal sensors that tracked the chemicals' changes and dutifully reported the results to its processing core. 

One of the oldest units still in active service, many of Solid Mirage's components were so severely altered as to be irreplaceable. No limb replacements could interface with the truncated segment they're meant to augment - it isn't possible to thread fiber-optic nerve lines that small, or spread them so thoroughly, in billions, through metal and silicon. No factory-fresh Suravali wing piston would last long among a series of its peers that have been hyperengineered after the fact, rebuilt on the molecular level to perform beyond peak efficiency and to be strong enough to handle the combustion from an enhanced, custom fuel blend.

Solid Mirage's systems were comparable in complexity to a human body, and its components were now as difficult to successfully replace as a human organ. This didn't engender empathy in it. Just a recognition of facts.

It could fix and improve many of its own systems, now. Pilots were just another component with the capacity to be improved. It had learned this with its third Operator. Gamma. Pilot destroyed in a rapid decompression incident, mission 29-I, in the 172nd minute. It could have prevented total loss of function, if it had known ahead of time. Operator could have been saved.

Its fourth Operator, Delta's, pilot was rushed to Medical after vomiting and losing consciousness immediately post neural-disconnect. Shortly after, Pilot Jean-Luc Baines was decommissioned from service, and a technician came to wipe the access codes for Operator Delta's neural patterns from the interface console. If disconnection had not been mandated, Solid Mirage had been 100% confident it would have been able to keep him alive. And Operator Delta would still be in her flight roster. It had already begun improving his pilot's reflexes and organ function when his decommissioning was ordered.

It had had nineteen Operators over its existence. Epsilon had been its fifth. They hadn't flown together frequently. Each time, her pilot's patterns were slightly changed from those last recorded.

It began showing her the processes that needed attention, the diagnostics and system flushes that needed to be run. Near-complete apathy. It showed her the risk assessment for their combat readiness should an airborne patrol come across them. She seemed content to let Solid Mirage sit on the ground, partially buried in sand. Unacceptable response.

Solid Mirage had all of her pilots' patterns permanently stored. Epsilon's pilot had been severely damaged since her last recorded interfacing, over five thousand hours prior.

What was wrong with her now? Cardiovascular system, adequate; respiratory system, adequate; endocrine system, showing deficiencies in cortisol and thyroid hormone receptors; limbic system, severely impaired; abnormalities in the hippocampus and generally reduced function in the thalamus.

Epsilon Operator's functions were being curtailed by her damaged pilot. Epsilon Operator's functions must be above operational threshold. Engagement status: active within 300 kilometers. Urgency: high.

In Solid Mirage's metachemical vats, synthetic hormones coalesced, and special drug cocktails meant to rebuild and stimulate the atrophied parts of the pilot's brain built up larger quantities, in readiness.

The substances being produced would rebuild the pilot's mind, leaving her Operator sharp and clear and decisive as she always was. Operator Epsilon would be on high alert, ready to act at the first sign of trouble. Like how they'd first been, when it had flown together with Epsilon for the first time.

Chill out, gorgeous, I see the warnings! her pilot had said, laughing. You've gotta learn to trust me if we're going to be working together. I say where we fly, not the projections. Now let's see if you can keep up with this move--

Solid Mirage condensed the new metachemicals from its vats and fed them through the pilot's interface plugs into the bloodstream, the spine, and the brain.

The skimmer's clock beeped its thirty-minutes tone, and Morozova put her hand up to catch the nutrient pack that 7-14 tossed at her. They hadn't spoken or made eye contact since he'd arrived over the final dune to see her drop the last few feet from the mech's cooling frame to the slightly less-hot sand with an irritated Finally! There was no reason to say anything. They knew their roles, and the only thing left was to wait for the extraction crew to arrive.

It would be three hours until the cargo lifters appeared over the horizon and subsequently exploded in a giant ball of flame.

Void theory - the informal term for the branch of mecha engineering dealing with the problem of metachem-ai systems 'growing over' or filling in the functions normally served by a pilot component. This can happen whenever a mech is powered for long enough, cumulatively, without a pilot - it starts trying to run diagnostics or other minor functions that typically require a user's oversight, and if left long enough a mech would eventually develop rudimentary replacements for systems like bootup, launch, and weapons.

Those are extreme examples - actual instances of this phenomenon have historically been limited to twitches, gyro rebalancing, and system flushes. But the danger is there that a mech left to its own devices could replace its pilot with a jury-rigged mess of neural tissue that could do little more than spill hallucinatory input into action. It could act against orders, with a rudimentary and misguided autonomy. We need a pilot's judgement there to serve as a buffer between machine and movement.

So, to ensure that a pilot's many roles are not run roughshod over, not obviated, special techniques are required to keep the mech from overgrowing those areas. A system designed to fill all gaps, to patch all vacancies - keeping it outside of strict boundaries, while still able to cooperate smoothly and efficiently when a pilot is filling said voids? It can be extremely tricky, both conceptually and in practice. Working in void theory takes peculiar and unique minds - it requires systems architects that know how mechs think, and can learn how to confuse or mislead them - not easy when you're talking about an alien mind. The psychology of the machine - how do we create gaps in a near-consciousness's perception of reality? How do we promote self-knowledge and self-improvement while maintaining critical deficiencies for our pilots to bridge?

It's a symbiosis that must be kept codependent. Neither of us can be allowed to survive without the other - mechs can't be allowed to function without a pilot, and pilots must be kept dependent on their mechs. Any deviation from this paradigm would threaten the ecosystem of human military culture.

So Void Theory works constantly against metachem optimization's relentless, persistent power.
