Amy: “well, glad to have you on the job. It feels honestly kind of strange now that i have become a Starhunt, the calculations are still hard but not nearly as much as before.”
Jade: “an increase in efficiency has been noticed, you are perating at 500% previous calculation speed for astronavigation.”
@NyantaStarhunt
Amy: “nearest would be a little bit impractical for my goal. here take a look.”
she shows a projection of a blue marble, if with a fair few splotches of landmass.
“current working name is “biosphere 959” an oceanic world, first wave had to call in for assistance due to… uh lemme check… ah here, megafauna activity rendering underwater construction ill advisable. they booked it for the nearest landmass and constructed a comm tower and gathered what data they could. we have a few nonlethal and lethal ways to deal with bigger fish though, and have adjusted most blueprints and material printers for aquatic problems.”
@NyantaStarhunt
“yeah, calculating the distance between star systems and the rocks floating in them precise enough to land a ship from A to B has every right to make a man feel big.”
Alone within the ship’s lab, Rameshvara browses over the new planet’s characteristics, such as day/night cycle, year length, gravity, etc, as well as features of the system’s orbited star and neighboring planetary bodies.
@Coriolanus
AI: “analysis suggests that a full cycle takes the planet 42 standard hours, with day and night being split in four rather than two segments, the tumbling movement causin the sun to cross the sky on two different trajectories before the cycle begins anew. 10.5 hours to each segment, despite the quirky rotation the speed remains constant, unless a large enough asteroid passes by to bleed of the motion.”
Tidal activity is low due to natural sattelits being of miniscule size and surrounding the planet in equidistant patterns, placement of these sattelites making up a perfect ring suggests artificial relocation, possible attempt to fully align planet.”
@Cerebrate
“That’ll make cheap rocketry expensive… though on the bright side I guess, it staves off kessler syndrome. As for artificial stabilization within a few months, may look at mass-stream space fountain rings for a suspended supercollider, then spin a few supermassive kernels of monopolium along it to ebb it all into a normal spin…”
Bookmarking ideas on fast terraforming, (as well as ecological repercussions for each), he then exits the lab, interring himself within his ascetically-chosen 10x10 cubic meter broom closet-worth of a personal quarters, to rest until either summoned or awakened on arrival at the new planet.
@NyantaStarhunt Amy had in the meantime accompanied Nyanta to the food court on board.
“The new planet has extensive evidence of being worked on by someone intelligent, not many structures above the water but the rotation and a set of mini moons tell us a lot. the first wave on call, pearlie, didn’t tell me any name designation, do you have an idea?”
@Coriolanus Jade took this opportunity to handshake with one of his AI partners… fragments of himself? kinda not easy to tell, she quietly hoped they would be more open to conversation than their roboshark master.
