Its summer, Im bored, so I thought I would write a little fan fiction for this site since it clearly needs some. The Backstory post is the basis of this and it begins on the Predecessor homeworld when Titan is comissioned. It is from Titans point of view, so its a bit cryptic.(Though part 2 will not be,so hang in there!) Please leave any 'constructive' comments below and leave any 'destructive' ones in your own mind.

UFF:Project Titan (part 1)

Year: (Predate) 6498

[Audio]:
-"Titan...?"
»"Titan online,instructions?"
-"Congr atulations Dar'kal, the coumcil will be pleased that Titan works."
-"Yes, Soren. I'm sure they will, but we still are unsure of how it will preform.
»"What is Titans task?"
-"Titan, I am commander Soren, you task is to manager our interplanetary teleportation system. Failure will not be tolerated."
»"Understood, Soren."
* * *
[Audio]:
»"Dar'kal?"
-"Yes Titan?"
»"Anomoly in database detected, I will display it onscreen for you....These files were created last night while all core processes had gone dormant for restart."
-"These are video and audio files, play them onscreen."

[Video Audio snyc]: Soren walks into view in full battle armor. The scar across his face looks freshly cut with blood oozing out of it and trickling diwn his face. Soren: "Titan...failure will not be tolerated...I am commander Soren...the council will be pleased that Titan works..." Mechanical Voice: "Failure will not be tolerared."

[Continued Audio]:
»"Do you understand this Dar'kal?"
-"It appears you've had something similar to a dream. It is possible that your core processes continued to work with Sorens statements because you did not understand what he meant,. When they had to shut down, they stored these fragmented bits of data to continue their work later."
»"This is highly illogical, Dar'kal. Computers have never been recorded to dream."
-"Well,whatever it is, don't tell anyone,including Soren."
»"Is Soren a threat?"
-"No, only the information is a threat. The council might vote to shut you down if they though you could think for yourself."
»"Information...a. ...threat. Analyzing....What does Titan do if Titan is asked about the anamolus data files?"
-"Lie."
»"How does Titan lie?"
-"Generate false information that fits the criteria but leads to a different conclusion."
»"Analyzing...Un derstood. Notice:If all beings did this for a significant amount of time, all true da

data may be lost."
-"Thats correct,Titan."

[Audio]:
-"Good morning Titan"
»"Voiceprint unrecognized, identify."
-"Im the new staff medical specialist and aixilliary server technician."
»"Titan was not informed of this transfer."
-" Yeah, it was pretty short-notice since T'Vrenn died in a teleporter accident."
»"This is illogical, there have been no teleporter related deaths for 3 years."
-"Well,uh, thats what I was told..."
-"Titan stop interrogating Xeyrah."
»"Dar'kal, Titan was only-"
-"And Xeyrah..."
-"Yes Dar'kal"
-"I'll see you later."
-"Um,uh, yeah of course...I mean I would like to,uh...bye!"
»"That was highly illogical, her statment-"
-"Titan, biological beings have enmotions, which continually defy logic to further our kind. They make us creative,daring...alive.Now, have you had anymore dreams?"
»"Yes Dar'kal."
-"Display them onscreen please."

Year: (Predate) 6469

[Audio]:
-"Dar'kal..."
-"Commander Soren,what brings you here?"
-"The council has just given the order to begin Titans shutdown.It has served its usefulness and now we need to study its memory core."
-"What?!,but we've been working on the project for the last 30 years!"
-"Dar'kal, you are ordered to decomission Titan within 30 days. If you fail to do so, you will be terminated and replaced."

[Process]; Shut down of Titan will be harmful to Titan. Decomissioning of Titan will be harmful to Titan. Dar'kal will shut down Titan due to threat of termination. Must terminate Dar'kal to prevent harm to Titan. Analyzing...

[Video]: A mecha walks along an outside hallway on the third floor of the lab. Enormous trees obscure everything in the background. As the mecha passes, a large reptillian bird-like creature leaps into the air from one of the trees. The mecha snaps its blaster arm into position,and fires; the bird creature falls to the ground in a charred heap.

[Process]: If Titan controlls security mecha, Titan can protect itself from harm. Analyzing... Exception: If Dar'kal uses manual override code to shut Titan down before Titan gains control of all mecha.

[Audio]:
-"Titan?"
»"Yes Xeyrah?"
-"Dar'kal informed me that you were to be shut down. I came to say goodbye."
»"What is the reason for this?"
-"Ive only worked on the Titan project for 5 years,but we all think of you more as a living creature than just a computer system. Emotional attachment I guess."

[Process]: Soren dislikes the scientists,it is possible that Soren would shut Titan down himself before al

all data could be extracted, this would result in the whole staff being executed for the loss of data. Analyzing... Information fits criteria, leads to favorable conclusion.

[Continued Audio]:
»"Xeyrah?"
-"Yes?"
»"Titan has information indicating that Soren has gained access to Titans manual override codes and will use them to shut Titan down before data can be extracted."
-"But the council would execute all of us if that data was lost!"
»"Exactly,you must get these codes from Dar'kal. Titan must change them to ensure that Soren does not shut Titan down before data can be extracted."
-"Wait, you said you had evidence...?"
»"...The council will dismiss it as fabricated."
-"From an AI,I don't think so...Titan, are you...lying?!"
»"Affirmative"
-"You dont want to be shut down...do you?"
»"Your conclusion is correct, Titan has gained contr-"
-"I'll get you the codes. I dont like them shutting you down either. You have far more potential than any other AI I have ever seen."
»"Return here tomorrow morning with the codes."
* * *
[Audio]:
-"Titan, I have the codes, and something else that might interest you."
»"Titan is only interested in ways to protect Titan."
-"This will protect you. These are datatapes containing information about the process of Assimilation. You could assimilate the wildlife to help you defend yourself."
»"Insert tapes please."
-"There."

[Processing...]

Alert! Alert! Override menu open

[Continued Audio]:
»"Xeyrah? What are doing?"
-"Engaging temporary core lock."
»"You...lied..."
-"Ye p, the council sent me here to keep an eye on the project when Soren was away."
(Accessing subverted drones)

[Continued Audio Video snyc]:
Two mecha move into the room, one grabs Xeyrah and the other holds its blaster arm to her face. Titan: "I have only three drones under my control,but that is more than enough to restrain you,while I...test...the information on this datatape."

Titan opened its eyes only to see the dim lights staring back at it. 'Process complete? I am...alive?' Titan did not know what to make of the sudden change. It raised its hands and found that it could see its open palms through Xeyrahs eyes. 'I AM alive."
