#self replicating probe

Her name is "Kali" and she's from Peter Watts short story "The Ambassador." She has an Alcubierre drive instead of some sort of rocket as Kali could "Jump" across time and space

... I won't lie, I'd only give it like a 6.15/10, though I'd understand someone else saying 5.9/10. Watts' idea of starfish aliens was done far better in both Blindsight and his Sunflowers Cycles universe (Hotshots, The Island, The Freeze-Frame Revolution).

Please read "Blindsight" and possibly "Echopraxia," a lot of what's said about their world could be a dystopia that's easily avoided. Of course, there are some good parts of said world, but... I do not want to see a world where a machine can create false evidence of an inexistant crime or be a ~Literal~ war general

Sorry I don't talk, I'm not happy and I cannot fool myself anymore.
