Cybernetix. A name that goes down in infamy. Within the planet of Osrio 2e.
Found in dark space. Away from the QIverse, within its own, mutliverse.
The Cybernetix corporation, had been producing basic domestic robotic lifeforms.
using an IC AI at their core, called the ‘Cybertron’ or ‘Cybertronics’ intelligent operating system.
It would be the alien forces, that appeared out of nowhere to bombard the colony and send in their army to attack, pillage, plunder and leave as fast as they had arrived. SOME of their military were highly sophisticated to the point that Cybernetix’ had taken some of them to take them apart?
What they learned, advanced their knowledge to a massive level. Far more advanced AI technologies now in their grasp? Utilised to produce new manufacturing processes.
Ones that could produce advanced heavily modified versions of their robots.
Military grade and, a small army, as the Colony wanted to be prepared, for the invaders, the next time, they attacked and, there were no doubts, it WOULD happen again.
IT happened again. This time the raiders, were beaten back. A smaller than anticipated force but nevertheless fierce opponents. If thoughts were on thinking the raiders would have learned their lesson?
They returned with a massive, MASSIVE force. Cybernetix had realized their military were being savagely beaten back. The enemy too had suffered but not in the numbers they had.
The colonists were NOT military.
Adaptations, had to be made, with new ‘biosuits’. AI controlled weapons and, for a time, that seemed to be effective. BUT. To fight the would be invaders, many males, of their species had died or been wounded.
Body parts, could be harvested, with ease and, the Cybernetrix corporation, had the methods and the madness, to replace lost parts on the wounded.
Patch them up and, send them back, to the fighting. Thousands, in a seemingly never ending stream. Wounded all over again or, dying. Bodies collected, recycled.
The alien invaders, finally realized, they could not win. Retreated and vanished into the ether.
The war was over. The body count, had seen over half, of the colonies population wiped out.
Cybernetrix realized, they, had produced an acceptable number of Militia. THEY, were not, making them enough Drex, As a corporation, answerable to its investors? They were ordered to stop, production of their military grade ‘Cyberiotics’ as they called them.
Instead they had to, produce worker drones and, other robotics. The assembly lines, altered or abandoned.
The remaining ‘Cyberiotics’ were NOT of a massive number BUT soon the colonists grew to hate the sight of them. A reminder, of those loved ones, they had lost in the war.
Most, of the later ‘Cyberiotics’, had little reasoning, anything bordering on resembling their former race; the colonists. BUT, their numbers were too large to ignore.
The unease, had grown to the point the colony decided to have Cybernetrix, convert the remaining ones, into workers and send them, to the mines, on their orbiting moon.
Dastriuooxiu Mon, nicknamed ‘Mondas’. Had, appeared out of nowhere, to orbit their world, but a long time before the colonists had set up colonies on Osrio 2e.
Barren and, barely habitable, but for the ‘Cyberiotics’, that did not matter. Matter being the operative word here. They were more manufactured metallics and tissue.
Their internals, were symbiotic and minus a digestive system. Breathing? Artificial lungs.
Controlled by very basic AI implants, these were workers not thinkers, muscle and brawn than brains.
Midas, were the mining consortium. They realized the cheap throwaway commodity, now offered to them, was too good to be ignored. Even those, who had only had one or two limbs replaced, were forced into ‘refurbishment’.
Cybernetix, had originally scouted the ‘moon’ , for precious resources and found a lot of valuable silica based and ‘precious metals’.
IT was rumoured, that whilst on the planet, they had discovered the secrets, the means to clone body tissue, replace vital parts and of course, eventually produce, more workers from newly created synthetic AND recycled body parts?
A massive laboratory installation, on ‘Mondas’. A military force, stopped any trespassing, from others, who might be curious, re what Cybernetix were up to? Certain overseers had mysteriously gone missing?
The colonists, did not want to know what was going on on ‘Mondas’. Cybernetix had gone quiet?
Little or no communication from them. For aome time, the mines continued producing in vast quantities.
When the delivery of those mined assets suddenly stopped? The Colony was used to seeing traders landing their craft to unload supplies or take on new ones? The craft parked on their main docking area was one they had never seem before.
A massive manufacturing and processing plant? For what might have been on the minds of some.. Until; they saw these beings emerge from the craft to seize them, forcibly round them up, drag them kicking and screaming, into a ‘Cyber’ converter’.
Osrio 2e colonists, had virtually NO military force. The ones they had? Now attacked them. Seized and detained them. To watch the first of the ‘Cyber’ converted stap out .. into the light..
Males? Converted by their thousands.. Cyber... men.
