Humanity was confusing...

To the Manifold's data it one of the most adaptable races it had ever seen, and one of the most dangerous ones. Humanity had caused hundreds of conflict across the galaxy, with humanity winning a majority and losing a few minor wars. Though the confusing part was how many empires kept popping up with the majority of the population being human. The United Species Space Command, The United Earth Government, The Imperium of Man, and The Crimson lance PMC were all human empires that had popped up within a single century. A few theories were made and the one that had made the most possibility to the Manifold led back to the Caretaker program. An ancient fallen empire that was made to preserve life from The Cybrex, another ancient empire that had wished to destroy organics, just like the Manifold, but the Cybrex had seen an error in its way.

It was so confused, why was humanity so common! Seriously what was so important about an Alpha. DAMNED. ORGANIC. SPECIES!

"Are you alright One-Oh-Six?"

Snapping out of its anger, it realized that its hands had molded the metal railing keeping it from falling into the valley below. Looking to his left it saw the Doctor again, "Hello Doctor Polendina" it said nodding its currents forms head before looking back at the valley. The Doctor took his time to analyze the hand shaped imprints on the railing.

"Again, are you alright?" He said stopping by it and leaning against the railing, using his arms to prop his head up.

"I am Fine, merely..." It stopped to think of an appropriate response, "Confused" both simple and explanatory.

"Hm," the doctor hummed to himself, "I can only assume the latest tests are the cause?"

Ah, yes, the latest tests for the project, now named project puppet, had been complete failures. Even with the smartest men and women of the species helping it no progress was being made.

"Yes, the latest tests have been causing a strain on this unit's processing power and stability to maintain the order of its digital capabilities" The Doctor sighed and rubbed its head, "yeah you aren't the only one, doesn't help with the random petitions Doctor Riverwood has been placing". Doctor Riverwood, an ever-growing annoyance, petitioning that the project is scrapped and that research focuses should aim for expanding the borders of Atlas. When it says expanding it does not mean securing land for more settlements, no far from it, for Atlas seeks to reach for the stars.

"She means well you know?" the doctor said, standing back up straight beginning to walk past it before stopping to place a hand on it's forms shoulder, "I want you to remember that, people like her may act rude and make uncaring decisions but deep down they do what they can for the future of their people". Letting go, the doctor walked off to do whatever he did, while it continued to stare off.

"Do what they can for the future of their people..."It remained silent for the next few seconds, letting the cold wind fill it's metaphysical ears while analyzing the quote.

"That is something a organic capitalist pig would say"

Hello Sirs and...what's the female version of the word?

Bah forget it

Anyway just wanted to say thank you for reading the story, and (Hopefully) enjoying!

Have to admit, love stellaris, but it wasn't until I placed around 70 hours in the game did I understand what how important Iron man mode was.

Well GG and GoodDay or Goodnight Readers!
