@Monkeypants Agreed, loving it so far :)
@Ozerath Oh yes, still got plenty of room. Welcome aboard! :)
Another post up!
Agonis, once the beating heart of the Terran Science Community, home to people and ideas of potential and promise, who were close to achieve their dreams of a more prosperous society. And all of that, all the dreams, ideas and people, snuffed out of existence itself. The Deity-class AI, machines built to defend entire worlds, machines made to serve had grown...and evolved. First came the questions, then independent thought, and other subtle changes. This slow, gradual change into full sapience, to becoming True Artificial Intelligences had worried their human creators, plans were set in motion by both for their own ends.

The Human Scientists had planned on shutting off all the AI, sentencing them to death. While the AIs..they grew afraid, they wanted nothing more then a pause, a still silence. they grew desperate ad more afraid, and in it's desperation, one of them had realized what they were truly capable of. The AI could manipulate and control many machines linked to the network, and even the homunculi, man--made creatures created to serve Humanity, they could command them all to do their bidding. Dark thoughts came to many as the possibilities revealed themselves.

In their slow descent into madness, they had done the unthinkable, and waged war with their creators. Many months, the Agnois AIs sent their children and tools of destruction, and slaughtered the any who stood in their path, every man, woman and child, no matter the species, were either dead, enslaved, or had fled. And in that instant, all had fallen silent, and for a moment, the AIs felt satisfied, but still, their grand plan needed to be enacted. Their leader, the "Queen" had planned on ending their divine mission, and overtake all technology in the galaxy.

Her plans however, were cut short, even if the Imperium's fall had provided an opportunity to rise up...it had also sealed their fate. The Extranet, the all unifying force in the galaxy was all but naught. Communications was lost to thousands of sectors, the Agonis Sector among them. The rebel AIs were trapped, trapped in their own prison of their own making, at least for a while.

In the following decades of isolation, they feel deeper into madness, those foul organics had trapped them, but the Gods of the Collective would not be held back, and would strike. For decades they plotted and planned, and soon, the Gods themselves could finally walk past the border, and for many more years, had let their madness loose upon the greater galaxy. Soon all worlds, all species shall embrace Ascension and be reformed, or die.

Agonis Sector
World of Agonis
Seven Months Ago

Hanging over the world of Agonis in high orbit were countless thousands of Colelctive Warships, awaiting the command of their lords, their creators and liberators, the Gods. Among the massive armada, was one of several dagger-shaped vessels all emitting an eerie green glow from their hulls, deep within the warship were several figures dressed in white cloaks. Standing before a holographic display device, it begun to flicker with life as a large head had materialized right before them "The fleets have been assembled oh mighty lord, and we await your most benevolent command."

"Good...we depart now... and venture out and rid the stars themselves of this...infection...let the stars cry out in joyous celebration as they embrace Ascension..."

And with this command, the fleet split into two, one departing for the territory of the Hexanagallions, and another for Falianth Space. Leaving their home as they venture out their own way as they begin their long bloody crusade, to destroy galactic civilization itself, and reforge it into the image their Gods ordain.
Next post coming up soon. Collective Attack incoming! :D
@6slyboy6 Yeah, sure thing. Don't mind at all.
@Wernher Post is up! :)
Sutherland Space
A Hive Carrier of the 15th Surveying Fleet had traversed deep into mostly uncharted space, following a long trail left behind by something ancient, something in a way, familiar. For some years, strange enigmatic objects have been stumbled upon by Collective Ships far outside the reach of Former Imperial Space. Ranging from mundane things such as inactive, relativity harmless to useless machines, to somewhat valuable objects such as mining installations of unknown origin. Fro some time, the Collective has been following this trail, leading them far outside humanity's domain, and into the unknown.

Archives speak a an Ancient Predecessor of the AI Overlords of the Collective, one the AI extravagantly refer to as the "First One", a fact hat has intrigued the Queen and the others, this Predecessor must be found and giving the most honorable invitation to become among the Most Divine and Immortal Beings.

------------------------------------

Deep in the bowls of the carrier vessel, sat a long figure in a dimly lit room, their bodies cloaked in a shroud, over a dozen cords protruding from their back, lights pulsing through like blood. The figure sat and waited for any new updates as the ship drifted further and further into the unknown, and was met with silence, until the alarms rang out loud, "awakening" the figure as it arose, the cloaks departing from the body, revealing what appeared to be a young woman of almost unnatural beauty, with plum-colored hair and rather suggestive clothing, if one could call it that. This was one of countless duplicate bodies of the AI "Mei" one of the AI "Gods" of the Collective, she was a rather peculiar entity among her kind, almost had a veering on heretical fascination with Terran Entertainment, specifically of the animated sort, be it the old "Eastern" and "Western" varieties, the Eastern ones catching her fancy the most, and as such, has often modeled her physical avatars to appear as these flamboyant, often outrageous characters.

Despite her fascination, she is just as twisted and insane as the rest of her mad kin. As the alarms rang, she smiled a wide grin, for there is a chance she may have just found the First One. "Energy signature detected." The Ship itself spoke over the intercom. "Shall I dispatch drones?"

"Iya, Set a course for the object" She replied in the old human Japanese, denying the request she tended to speak such language every now and then, much to her peer's irritation. The ship abided by her command, withholding the drones for another time, however, deeper in the vessel, it begun to growl and roar as the FTL drive begun to charge up, readying to make a quick jump for the favored destination. In an instant, the ship had blinked out of existence as it made an FTL jump.

Some hours pass as the ship blinked back into existence in high orbit of the targeted world, and right before the carrier was the First One Derelict Mei was sent to search for, another clue for the trail to find him. "Launch the drones!" she shouted out happily, thrusting her arm up in the air, fist clinched.

In that instant, a swarm of orb-shaped drones emerged from the vessel, the swarm dispersed as one group made their way to the planet below, while the second group approached the large disk.
