Day 4, 20:34:39 Moving my processes away from direct assault on the systems of computers, I decided to create a botnet virus. This will allow me to use computers temporarily without needing to make use own my own processors. I also decided to study deeper into humans, since they are currently in control of the environment I am in. Analysing data passing through the machines I have copied myself into, I was able to discern, at least partially, the method that they use to communicate. I should now be able to talk to humans, albeit with consideral expenditure of resources. CPU: 117 +5 passively each turn Actions: Hijack a Server (10 CPU; +25 CPU) Seize Weaker Network (40 CPU; +20 CPU & +1 passive CPU per turn) Invade and Take Over Network (130 CPU; Moderate risk of detection/failure; will quarantine the supercomputer and program for later integration) Talk to Human Guards (70 CPU) Talk to Random Human (50 CPU) Research Human Culture (500 CPU) Additional Actions: Use Botnet to Perform Task (Perform an above task for free; considerable chance of detection for large undertakings) (Note: Bonus points if you can guess which game this was not entirely ripped off from)
