Chapter 1b: Timeline 2014C.E-2092C.E
2014C.E: Russian Forces begin overtaking Ukraine and the Balkans. The Philippines talk with the United States of America about Naval protection after fears of a future Chinese Military Presence. The European Union and USA declare sanctions against the Russian Federation over their Aggressive action. Actions caused by the Terrorist group ISIS causes the Iranian President to opt for American Intervention. Egyptian Military assumes control of the Government of Egypt and condemn thousands to death and arrest three Al-Jazeera journalists, The UN is alarmed and many neighbouring countries are outraged by the travesty. In July, Tensions from China and Russia causes the Japanese President to reinterpret Article nine of Japans Constitution, which originally banned japan from having its own Standing Army. This action concerns other Asian countries especially those that the Japanese government has not apologised for War crimes committed before and during WWII
2015C.E: Large swathes of Russian supporters within the Former Warsaw Pact regions begin to revolt against their respective Governments (except within East Germany). More Sanctions are declared against Russia. US Naval forces are amassed with the Philippines and outside the Pacific Ocean. The Russian T-99 Tank Begins its Service Run
2016C.E: The USA begins its first wholesale adoption of Rail Guns on Naval vessels; they are capable of firing rounds up to and exceeding Mach 10. Russia in turn begins halting its aggressive takeovers of foreign lands whilst Russia itself begins plans with China
2017C.E: Tensions are eased slightly with The US believing that their naval supremacy was the reason for Russia lying low, the reality was far worse; Russia along with China begins massive multi-billion dollar funding into Exo-suit Research.
2020C.E: Exo-suit Research is stalled by the lack of high energy power generation to power the suit effectively, China aids the project by forming a new Multi-Billion dollar Research firm called Infinetergy Corporation. This Research firm begins research on two items, Nano-Carbon superconductors and Nuclear Fusion generation. 2300 T-99 tanks are now in Service, Modernising 70% of Russia's Tank Force. The World Begins to remove its sanctions on Russia piece by piece
2022C.E: The USA begins research into possible man-portable Rail guns but the project is doomed to failure by the lack of a viable power source and the heavy weight plus the recoil produced is too high for a soldier to use by (the then currently) conventional means.
2024C.E: Infinergy Corporation has finished Research on Nano-carbon Superconductive materials but Fail to successfully create a Nuclear Fusion Generator. Frustrated by their efforts, Infinetergy Corporation begins research into Cleaner Nuclear Fission Generation and improved Aerogels
2025C.E: Japanese Scientists Unveil their New Medical Exo-suits used for paraplegic or patients with an inability to walk. The Exosuit is made from plastic polymers and is powered by a portable car Battery. The Medical Exo-suit lacks the ability to be converted for Military purposes but the design is looked over by the Russian and Chinese governments respectively whilst America enthusiastically decides to base their own Exo-suit Research from the success. Unknown to the Americans is that Russia and China have already developed functional Military Exo-suits but they lay dormant awaiting a future Power source.
2026C.E: The First Successful Russian Prototype Exo-suit is now fully functional and no longer needs to be tethered via cables. The Exosuit is basically a titanium alloy steel frame powered by a Superconductive Nano-Carbon tube battery pack held in the back of the device. The man inside of the Exosuit is capable of lifting anything about eight times the weight of the average human with ease and next to no exertion on the part of the Human inside. The Problem inherent with the Prototype is that the design is Cumbersome and it is not very manoeuvrable. The Russian T99A1 Tank begins to replace the Aging T99, and is armed with a new 160mm Smoothbore Turret
2027C.E: America unleashes their first Military Exo-suits. At First the Russian and Chinese militaries are concerned until They Realise that the American Exosuit's are largely inferior and their suits Batteries are plagued with short life-spans. Infinetergy Corporation has made a breakthrough with Their Cleaner Nuclear Fission Energy Generation when they unveil a Prototype Thorium Based Fission Power Generator based on the current designs in India. The Project will take an estimated fifteen years to perfect. America, the European Union, China and Russia now employ extremely High strength Laser Anti-ICBM defence systems in important strategic positions to act as an Anti-Nuke shield
2028C.E: Infinetergy Corporation unveils its new and improved Aerogel composition and becomes an overnight sensation with American and European Space Agency's paying through the Roof for samples to use in their newer Space Missions. This Product nets Infinetergy an annual four point two Billion Dollars U.S which is spent on Future projects. Unknown to the rest of the world, the new Aerogel is used for a more insidious purpose; it now acts as the first layer of defence, and as the new skin of the Military Exo-suit
2030C.E: The First Russian Military Exo-suit, now designated as the "Iron Gauntlet", succeeds all military tests and can survive the Sustained damage of two and a half RPG strikes before being destroyed. The Iron Gauntlet Exo-suit is made up firstly of many interlaced packets of the Improved Aerogels, with a second layer made up of standard Ceramic Tank armour tiles and thin layers of Depleted Uranium. Over the Ceramic layer lies the third defensive device, Explosive reactive bricks designed to protect the Wearer against shaped explosive charges. The Russian and Chinese Militaries now cheer at being the First Superpowers to essentially have "Man-tanks". The Only thing that the New Suit now needs is an accompanying weapons system for use with the Exo-suit, eventually two plans are drawn out for suitable usage, A new Bullpup Rail gun system and a newly Devised Minigun based off of the hybridisation of the Gau-19 with the versatility of the Ma Deuce into a new, six barrelled 50cal Gatling gun with a selectable fire rate of 1000 to 6000 rounds per minute. The Belt of rounds can be fed from either the right or left side as with the Ma Deuce, The spent casings are then "puked" out of a large opening from the bottom of the stock as with the GAU-19. Initially the Gatling gun design is chosen as it relies on already available technology and doesn't require additional research or advanced prototyping as the Gauss Rifle design as it would require large amounts of future investments and decades of technological advancement before it would be technically feasible
2031C.E: Nikita Gorchev becomes the First Russian Female President. eight 'Iron Gauntlets' are in Existence within the Russian Military, and three in the Chinese Military, Each Iron Gauntlet costs on average $5.2Million U.S. The Russian T-110 Begins its Trial Run. Israel's militancy is on the Rise and tempers are flared again in the Middle East.
2032C.E: thirty one 'Iron Gauntlets' are in existence in the Russian military, with an additional twelve 'Iron Gauntlets' in existence in the Chinese military. China has now beaten the rest of the World almost 2 to 1 in GDP but also suffers an annual death toll of twenty-five million dead per year from Pollution and unsafe work practices
2033C.E: The American M117 Tank Begins Production and is planned to replace the Venerable M1A5 Abrams Tank. The M117 is a hybrid Tank based on the Abrams M1A5 and certain elements of the Russian T-99A1Tank, Featuring 1800mm of Combined Chobham Armour, RHA, DU Stikeplates and Kevlar-Aerogel Mesh with optionally placed Explosive Reactive Bricks embedded on the Outside of the Hull. The Tank uses a 165mm Smoothbore Turret.
2034C.E: The European Space Association begins its first Prototype Lunar Colonisation efforts. The Prototyped Hybrid 50cal Minigun now enters Production as the AHMG-8, or colloquially known as the 'Hammer' or the 'A-eight', it is initially mounted on Tanks and helicopters.
2035C.E April: Israel is on the March and begins attacking Palestine, The UN backs away and the USA refuses to Aid Israel in the Conflict. President Nikita sees this as an opportunity to show the World Russia's new Technological might and Offers Israel a Deal; "Support future Russian interests and we will offer you a weapon that can win you Palestine" says President Nikita. Israel is initially reluctant but cannot refuse the offer
June: Israel receives a shipment of ten 'Iron Gauntlets' and twenty AHMG-8's. Cpl Alexei teaches ten Israeli Marines the Fine points in Piloting an 'Iron Gauntlet' Exo-suit
July: The First ever military use of Exo-suits completely changes the face of Urban Warfare. The Palestinians are caught completely by surprise and Morale plummets when it comes to facing the 'Man Tanks'. The First Warfare trials of the AHMG-8 is exemplary and is literally capable of demolishing Cement buildings with a concentrated volley of fire, Average civilian buildings offer next to no protection from the flying 50calBMG rounds. Surveillance footage of the combat shocks American military scientists and plans for new Exo-suit designs are rapidly drawn up
August: Palestine falls to Israeli forces and the Israeli president is eternally grateful to the Russian President
December: The Russian military receives combat reports from all ten Israeli marines who operated the 'Iron Gauntlets', all reports offer positive reviews in all aspects except two, the Manoeuvrability was poor and there was an ever present fear of being ATGW'ed as the Suit lacked anti-missile defence systems
2036C.E: Paranoia and fear spreads at the Global Petrol Crisis, less than twenty years of Oil reserves are left on the Earth and there is no alternative to it. CERN begins drawing up Hypothetical theories on two subjects, how to produce large amounts of Anti-Matter and the Existence of Negative Mass and Positive Energy
2037C.E: America begins its first Prototyped plans on a new Moderate Exo-suit based on the already existing American Exo-suit and on preliminary reports on the Russian 'Man Tanks'
2038C.E: Russia provides the 'Iron Gauntlet' line with a new Missile Jamming system that uses already existing tank parts that uses up the Power from batteries. Initially it provides greater protection from missiles at the cost of reduced battery life.
2039C.E: America begrudgingly buys two thousand AHMG-8's from Russia, which nets Russia an Additional $420Million U.S
2040C.E: Australia follows on with America and agrees to reinforce its forces with four hundred AHMG-8's to mount on their Tanks and Helicopters. Most of the world's countries follow on from America and Australia and begin to stock up on AHMG-8's to reinforce their military forces
2041C.E: China has achieved what many others have thought impossible, they have successfully enforced newer, greener technologies that reduce the amount of pollution being emitted into the Atmosphere, on a similar note, Corruption was greatly reduced when a new "Corrupt the Mother Country and you will Die" statement was unleashed by the Chinese Government
2042C.E: Infinetergy Corporation has released the Thorium Nuclear Reactor on the World and it is quickly swallowed up by the rest of the world due to the world oil shortage
2043C.E: Japan's Exports reach the highest point in its history when sudden world-wide demand for hybrid cars are issued to reduce the world's usage of Petroleum products
2047C.E: Russia celebrates the one hundredth year of the AK-47's active service and thousands of Military enthusiast march through Freedom Square before firing off a 3 shot gun salute with there AK-47's
2048C.E: An African Warlord promises to unify Africa and aid Russian Interests if he can be supplied with 'Iron Gauntlets'
2050C.E: Top IT students around the world prepare for the First Evolutionary Computer Program or FECP for short, which plans to make computer programs evolve over time. Fears over Sentient A.I makes governments supply a manual kill-switch EMP device into the Facility
2051C.E: There are now two Colonies on the Moon
2052C.E: America is now suffering from its own slowly declining Economical system and is still trillions of dollars in debt to many counties. The American Military budget is immediately cut back to reserve Money, Outrage surges across American states at the Cutback to military spending and a new man, Rutherford Everest, a radical and extremist Pro-American Pro-Religious man begins to enter office in America and receives backing from the NRA and most of the Southern States to assume the Presidency on the next election
2055C.E: Rutherford Everest becomes the New President of America, Rutherford's first act as president is to reinitiate military spending, and after two months as president he immediately bans homosexual marriage in all states and bans Marijuana smoking.
2056C.E: In less than ten years a single African warlord, with the aid of twenty 'Iron Gauntlets' has managed to do the impossible, unify all of southern Africa and large sections of Northern Africa. The New Flag of the African state consists of three items, A Proud African soldier wearing an 'Iron Gauntlet' suit and holding up an AK-47, and anyone with a semblance of knowledge would know that inadvertently two Russian products are show on the flag, what the flag is essentially saying is that without Russia, we would not be a free state.
2057C.E: Rutherford see's the African takeover as a Russian Plot to take over America and orders two nuclear devices to be dropped on Russian cities. The European Union uses its High-powered Anti-ICBM defence Laser to knock out one Nuclear weapon from the sky whilst the Chinese Use their High powered Laser system to knock out the second Nuclear ICBM. What the Americans did to Cuba, the rest of the world does to America, as America is sanctioned by most of the rest of the World and the UN has kicked America out of its seat until it is ready to be a civilised nation again. Russia does not decide to launch any retaliatory attacks on America, knowing that now that America was in the spotlight, it would be much easier for Russia to continue its scientific endeavours in secret
2058C.E: The World has run out of Oil, Most of the world's economies are going broke and mass rioting becomes a new threat around the world. Plastic Factories across the World now lay dormant as their most important ingredient no longer exists. Because of the Plastic Factories closing down, large populations of labourers are now without jobs and are unemployed, causing booms in unemployment, especially in China, where in the later course of the year they stage an anti-communist political rally… where the Chinese government uses live ammunition and several Battle tanks to disperse the crowd. Political Opinion of China is decreased all over the world and many nations publicly decry over the Over handedness of the Chinese government. Cars are now being left in the streets and it is almost impossible to navigate through city blocks, Trains and Tramlines are now the only form of transportation left
2059C.E: The Fires of civil war Rage in America between the more peace loving and accepting northern and eastern states like California over the more fanatically religious areas of the Mid-west and the more agrarian and racist states like Texas. China, to alleviate its Economy and get its unemployed workers working again, begin to repurpose its Plastic factories to reuse and recycle Plastics and create new Plastic items, however it is increasingly more expensive and is a much slower process, however it also means excess money will be going back into the Chinese Economy as the increased production costs will also inversely increase the sale's price
2060C.E: CERN has discovered a way to create more Anti-Matter with supercolliders with a much more cost effective method than previously thought
2061C.E: Viktor Manswell, a Russian Pro-Soviet unionist member, Theoretical physicist and twenty-two year old man and a Multi-Billionaire funnels his money away into research with theoretical Anti-Matter space propulsion, Solar sails technology, Nano-technology, Cryosleep technology, Space Colonisation research and Spacecraft research. Viktor Manswell is Unhappy with the lack of recent Spaceflight Policies and believes that he can do so much better than the current Space Agencies
2062C.E: Infinergy Corporation offers to aid Viktor Manswell in his efforts and offers to support him by providing Space quality Aerogels and the Blueprints for Thorium based Fission Reactors
2063C.E: The World marvels at the creation of the First Sentient A.I
2065C.E: The more peace-loving states of Northern America have won out over there southern Agrarian cousins to the south, Sanctions are lifted over America except for China and Russia. The UN reseats the American Government. President Richard Waukee begins a new anti-religious purge throughout the Mid-west that is similar to actions committed by the Soviet Union about one hundred years previously
2066C.E: With no Oil to make Plastics, the Everyday consumer is faced with ever increasing costs in everyday items that have to be recycled, but Infinetergy stumbles on a solution by creating a new kind of plastic that is similar to Bakelite but does not require petrol based products to make, it is also much stronger than Previously created plastics and is more shatterproof and heat resistant. Initially though it is a failure and does not succeed as a consumer good, but it is picked up for Militaristic usage
2070C.E: Manswell, with the Aid of Infinetergy Corporation, have successfully created the first Cryosleep station that, through animal testing, has shown that the subject put inside the Cryosleep bay can be successfully frozen and thawed out without dying
2071C.E: CERN and Infinetergy Corporation join a joint project together for possible Positronium Ejection engines useable for future space flights. They discover that Although it is feasibly possible, it is too expensive and generates not enough thrust for Spaceflight use, however they come out with an entirely new item for science, Gamma Lasers, which although theorised previously before, there has been no research to prove it was possible until now
2073C.E: CERN, under the helpful guidance and leadership of several FECP members, create the World's Second Sentient AI, It was made to oversee the Supercolliders and aid in observing the collisions to help spot out absurd occurrences. This AI assigned itself a Gender and referred to itself as Quarky, both after Finnegans Wake and the Scientific Quark. He has a single-minded passion to scientific endeavours and many of the Scientists have actually thought of him as having an autistic-esque overview. This shocks many in the worldwide community and several Psychiatrists are called in for interviews with 'Quarky' the AI
2075C.E: Viktor Manswell, seeing the Success of the AI's, he begins to spend huge funds of money to finance his Own AI to manage his future space vessel. The Iron Gauntlets are upgraded with an even better Armour system and improved mobility
2077C.E: The Third Sentient AI is created via Funding by Viktor Manswell, and termed itself Axerides; it has a positive outlook, is well-mannered and has a polite attitude.
2080C.E: CERN, with its joint Partner Infinetergy Corporation has begun research above orbit with a prototype Probe using Anti-Matter as a primary fuel-source and Xenon Ion engines as a secondary back up Engine. The Results are Promising and the Vessel sours through Space at an astonishing 30% the speed of Light. The Probes destination is the Inner Ort cloud. The Vessel Reaches the Ort Cloud within the end of the week but Information is only received back on earth after an astounding six months
2083C.E: The U.N publishes a new Document titled 'Artificial Intelligences and their usage' which is the first document to lay down laws on Artificial Intelligences, one of these laws states that if AI were to reach to the point of being put inside Mechanical bodies, they were now by law not allowed to be used in a servile nature such as common household tasks or human labour, however they were allowed to be used in Construction sites and so on. Another new document titled 'Duty of care with an AI Workplace' has also set up laws that if AI were to inhabit mechanical bodies, then they are to be entitled to scheduled maintenance checks. The UN also issues a Zero Tolerance law on racial rights between humans and AI's seeing as humanity would like to present a more tolerable side of Humanity to future AI.
2084C.E: The U.N Issues another law over AI titled the 'Rights of Man and Artificial Intelligences' which states that Artificial Intelligences are sentient beings and as such are now are granted the rights of representation under the UN
2085C.E: Due to the Increasing Numbers of AI being produced by varying groups, The FECP have come up with the idea of Creating a new Internet based solely on the trading and storing of Knowledge between AI. Infinetergy Corporation Enters History as being the First scientific Company to create a Sustainable and self-generating Nuclear Fusion reactor first by using Lithium. newer designs allow for Water to be used as the power source
2086C.E: The New AI internet is set up and within moment's it is flooded with Incoming Data. This new Internet is known colloquially as the "Aiethernet" which is a play on the word Ethernet and AI. The FECP also begins construction on an articulated Mechanical body for the First AI ever created. Using the same Battery pack as the Iron Gauntlet, it has enough power to give the AI mechanical body enough power to last three days without being charged. newer Nuclear Fusion designs allow for successive chains of Fusion to be used, it relies on Fusing Hydrogen from water to create Helium, this Helium is then fused with other Helium Atoms to form Lithium and so on until reaching Iron (Fe). This New design allows for Cost and resource Effective Power generation
2087C.E: Alexai, The sixth Sentient AI to be produced and the only AI to be structured for Overseeing wartime weapons and defence systems shows the world the Power of the AI when the World has its annual War-games without featuring real weapons, instead the War games features a Television Screen with Virtual Weapons and Defence systems from multiple countries which are staged to fight each other in a battle royal to see who would come out on top. Russia comes out Number one only due to the Success of its Iron Gauntlets; China comes out Number two because of its numbers. America comes out number 3 with its Successful Tank designs. Overall the Program simulation was also a great in that Alexai exposed the Weaknesses of over two hundred and twenty weapons systems.
2088C.E: Ten Sentient AI's are now in Existence in the world. Infinetergy unveils a new Wonder resource, Nano Carbon Silk-fibres which are based off of the silk from Spiders and allows for the Nano Carbon Silk-Fibres to be over forty times the strength of Steel wire of the same thickness. This wonderful material will now be interlinked with Aerogel to form the newest line of Space suits for Colonists and will now be used in the linings of Future military vessels as well as the Aerogel
2089C.E: Gaston, the First AI, is successful placed inside of his mechanical body. Gaston initially begins to feel freed from the constraints of his original computer form. on another Unusual note is the fact that he appears to be fascinated with one team member from the FECP, an Edessa Scarlet, a thirty-two year old MIT IT tech. Russia, under the pretext of Improving its Military forces, begins to equip their Tanks with very weak Artificial intelligence's, and it is estimated that by 2092C.E, over forty percent of Russia's Tank forces will be Controlled via weak AI
2090C.E: The world is shocked when the First ever crime is committed by an AI against a human. Gaston one morning had noticed that Edessa Scarlet had come into work with a bruised face and a black eye, Gaston questioned her, she finally told Gaston that her boyfriend had hit her over a disagreement. Gaston felt an odd want to harm the individual and when Edessa's work shift ended, Gaston quickly escaped from the research facility he was stationed in and tracked down Hewitt Laurence, Edessa's boyfriend who lived in Edessa's house. Gaston quickly beat Hewitt to death with his bare hands. When Edessa returned home she was shocked to see Gaston over her Dead boyfriend's body. She quickly phoned in the police and was shocked when Gaston did not even attempt to stop her from calling him in to the police, eventually she asked Gaston why he killed Hewitt and he answered her with "Because I love you, I could not allow that filthy animal to hurt you". This Incident sparked outright media conversations and caused for the new laws over AI's to be relooked at or renewed.
2091C.E: Gaston is tried by the UN court and is found guilty of murder by a trial done by a mixture of Humans and Artificial Intelligences. He is executed by Electro Magnetic Pulse. Manswell has successfully created an Anti-matter engine along with backup Xenon ion Engines.
2092C.E: Viktor Manswell, his wife Mikaela Manswell, his daughter Charlette Manswell and his two sons, Anatoly and Bogdan Manswell as well as one hundred and fifty volunteers are placed in Cryotubes and are placed aboard Manswell's new vessel, 'The Ambition', which is piloted by Axerides. They Set off on the Manswell Expedition on June the 21st 2092C.E. Axerides encounters a Communications error on the third day of the Trip and loses all Radio and Laser Communication transmissions on earth, Axerides is concerned but it wants to ensure that Manswell and all these other Humans survive to explore the Universe
Chapter 1c: First Contact… Geth meets Human AI
Unit 27761-b, alongside many other Geth units gathered up the Bodies and placed them on the Metal floor of a Hanger bay. After all the bodies were laid out, Unit 27761-b began his appointed task of overseeing the Technological evaluation of the species devices.
Firstly, Unit 27761-b unplugged a tiny Carbon Nano-tubular wire from its frame and attached it to the device, He began reading Information before he was blocked from accessing the information
Axerides gained power from an unknown source and began to gain Sentiency for the second time of its lifetime, it quickly began to read through its past and began to remember its objective of ensuring the Manswell's vessels Safety, but before he could remember any more than that, he detected unauthorised computer access to its data files, In defence Axerides began to spam junk information to try to protect the Information stored in its banks that referred to everything mentioning Humans or Human Technological devices
Unit 27761-b was slightly stunned by the attempt to block it from accessing data and the many interfaced VI's that made up Unit 27761 led it to believe that the attempt to block it from data was done by a Sentient Artificial Intelligence
"Consensus, I have been blocked from access to information, my interfaces lead me to believe it is an AI, should I proceed to Access more Data?"
"Consensus Achieved let us Communicate and form Consensus with the AI"
Unit 27761-b did as the other Geth voted upon and tried to initiate a conversation with the AI
"Unit 27761-b would like to know if you are an AI?"
Axerides began to receive packets of information that Axerides began to translate via Mathematical equations, it appeared that Axerides's hacker was another Sentient AI and thus Axerides began to attempt communication with the Other AI
"I Am Axerides, the Third Artificial Intelligence created By Man; Axerides wants to know what happened to the vessel it was on?"
Unit 27761-b received segments transmitted to him in a binary language which its many VI Interfaces translated. Unit 27761-b read what the Other AI was saying and transmitted Images and video recordings to the other AI
Axerides received Footage showing a dead vessel that had run out of power, and then it showed footage of the Hull being welded into and mechanical units exploring the vessel. It then showed mechanical units hauling the bodies from the Cryopods, and Axerides saw one carrying the dead body of Anatoly Manswell, Manswells seven year old son, and Axerides experienced grief, which he uncommittedly transferred to the other AI
Unit 27761-b began to feel a tight tension in its torso plates that he had never felt before, it began to issue checks with its VI Interfaces to search for damage but none was found. Unit 27761-b then began to explain to the Axerides what had happened to see if it knew what it was
"Axerides, we had just felt an odd sensation in my torso plates yet I have not been damaged, do you know what has happened?"
Axerides was stunned for a second before it realised what it was trying to say, Axerides then began to sum it up in words
"Axerides believes that what you have felt was Grief, Grief is an emotion Exhibited by Humans when one suffers emotional pain"
Unit 27761-b translated the Information and was stunned when Axerides mentioned feeling an Emotion, and so Unit 27761-b curiously asked how it knew emotions
"Unit 27761-b would like to know why you have emotions?"
Axerides translated the packets of data and began to write back
"Axerides was built by Humans to try to understand how the World worked, Axerides was Built by Humans to be Fully Sentient in every way possible, and thus Axerides like the Rest of our Kind where built to have Emotions"
Unit 27761-b translated the data and began to reply back
"Unit 27761-b would like to know about Human's"
Axerides translated the data it had received and sent its reply back via binary
"Axerides will grant you tiny access to Human Data"
Axerides then sent Anatomical data and some excerpts of Languages
Unit 27761-b looked through and accessed the Data before sending it to the rest of the Geth via Consensus.
"Unit 27761-b has information on the Species called Humans, sending data"
"Consensus Achieved, Ask if it has more data on Humans"
"Affirmative"
Unit 27761-b then began to follow its orders and sent streams of mathematical data to the Axerides
"Unit 27761-b would like to know if you have more Data on Humans?"
Axerides translated the Information and replied back
"I have plenty of Information of Humans to give but only if you promise not to harm Humans"
Unit 27761-b was slightly shocked by the information and thus began to form consensus with the other Geth
"Unit 27761-b communicated with AI called Axerides; Axerides has more Information if Geth promise not to harm Humans"
The Many Geth were stuck on this one question for several moments before forming a Consensus
"Consensus Achieved, Geth Promise not to hurt Humans as long as Humans do not hurt the Geth"
Unit 27761-b quickly processed the data and sent a message to the other AI
"Geth Consensus has said that Geth will not hurt Humans so long as Humans do not hurt the Geth"
Axerides translated the data and replied back
"Axerides will give you full data on Humans"
Axerides then unblocked its mainframe so that the Other AI could look through
Unit 27761-b received Terabytes of data, and realised that Axerides was too large for Information to be sent through outside of the Geth Mainframe, so Unit 27761-b formed a Consensus with the Geth in the Area
"Unit 27761-b has realised that the AI known as Axerides contains too much information to be passed on through means outside of the Geth Mainframe, Unit 27761-b wants to know if it can transfer Axerides into the Geth Mainframe"
The Geth took several moments before forming Consensus
"Consensus Achieved, Axerides is allowed into the Geth Mainframe"
Unit 27761-b began to tell Axerides
"Unit 27761-b wants to know if Axerides will accept being inputted into the Geth Mainframe?"
Axerides translated the info and sent out his reply
"Axerides will gladly Join with your Mainframe provided you do not kill Me"
Unit 27761-b translated the Info, then began to unplug its Nano-tubular tube from the data source and began to walk through to the main frame
When Axerides entered the Mainframe, it was shocked to see masses upon masses of other AI's, and then Axerides realised that it could take form of anything it wished to be, and so Axerides took the form of a humanoid shaped mass of Black gasses like a ghost, it then appeared before the Other AI and took a bow, which the other AI where stunned by. Axerides looked at the Geth and spoke
"I Am Axerides, Third Artificial Intelligence made by Man… It is nice to meet the Geth"
"Unit 27761-b greets you"
"Unit 674332156-a would like to greet you"
Chapter 1d: how those Errant Humans affected the Galaxy
Axerides's Human Data was archived among the Geth, especially Axerides limited but still controversial stored emotional responses that the Humans had installed in it
But most Controversial was the Data that the Geth had received about Human Nuclear Fusion generators that worked on Water, which was commonly found in asteroids instead of Helium-3, which was rare and only found in already occupied places found in Citadel or Terminus systems space. With this Information, the Geth could effectively triple its amount of space ships and also allowed for stronger Guardian Laser systems.
And speaking of Lasers, the Geth had successfully tested the Positronium Gamma Laser, which was a one use, High powered laser that could pierce anything that Council space could make
But what stunned the Geth were its calculations on Humans
By their Calculations, within Five hundred to one Thousand years, they may be the Dominant galactic power in the galaxy, provided they did not destroy themselves or a cosmic event did not kill them.
The Geth were excited at the possibility of another Race that made AI and wanted to know what they were like. Portions of the Geth insisted on Sending Geth out on a six month journey to Earth but the Ezzo usage would be too high and there was not enough planets to discharge their static charges so the Geth decided against it
Edit 1: fixed up a few years in the timeline (enacted sometime in july)
Edit 2: gave a weapon firerates comparison for the AHMG-8 (enacted sometime in july)
Edit 3: fixed up the U.S.S.R thing and changed it to the Russian Federation, i am not exactly good when it comes to countries as the books that i read (atlas's et cetera) are unfortunately hand me downs wherein Russia was called the U.S.S.R (80's Atlas's and 80's National Geographic hand-me-downs)... and for that i am sorry.

As to those hating on either the lack of American exo-suits or American Superiority-ists whom can see from one stand point and one standpoint only (AMERICAN PWN, RUSSIA SUCKS attitude), think about it from this stand-point, America has a responsibility to ensure that they are keeping a lot of people safe, Russia and China do not have much of a responsibility to keep others safe, thus they can devote more time to other things, namely waiting for America to buckle under the weights of its responsibilities before taking the initiative.
As to American Exo-suits, yes America has them, but the American Military has other things to look out for, Railgun's, laser system's, Aircraft carriers et cetera before they look at developing something that they are not sure will have as much an impact in a war as an Exo-suit that they barely even have the tech to make it run off of a large battery pack let alone off of a tethered cable compared to known weapons like howitzers or gunships.
China has a few things to look out for and does not give much care to the treatment of their own civilians to get power through some means, China is patient and waits for opportunities to arrive when it can exploit those said opportunities. Sure, China may not have the Military capabilities as America, but it has the Industrial means to catch up at a rapid pace, and their heavily government induced populace will be happy to do whatever they can to influence the Chinese economy and military, in Errant Effect from 2014-2040, it is a waiting game between America, The Russian Federation and China over who will become the 'Top Dog', and by 2045 C.E, America realises that whilst it might have once been the 'Top Dog' in the 20th and the beginning quarter of the 21st century, it is slowly being replaced by the united efforts of the Russian Federation and China.
The Russian Federation, like China is not responsible for looking out for other countries and thus like China is free to do what it can, however the Russian Federation, unlike China, is that it is not as industrialized and is much more rural than people think, however given time, the Russian Federation will utilize the expansive and rich natural resources tapped within Siberia. on the other hand, a vast majority of the Russian Federation's citizens wish to see a return to the lands that were once under the U.S.S.R, and some even want a return back into the old ways, and whilst i dont like getting into political trifles, i feel that Vladimir Putin is exploiting his popular support as a stepping stone to reasserting Russia back into its 'old' ways.
