but you don't understand it or how it works how do you upload something to something else when you don't know how it works.

Let me walk you through this step by step:
ANUBIS is an AI.
AIs are computer programs.
Computers use code to operate.
An expert hacker can easily learn that code and create a virus that exploits it.
Transmissions send and receive data.
Computer viruses are data, which can be sent and received just like any other data.
A computer's anti-virus can only fight off a virus it has encountered before.

ANUBIS has code.
Hackers learn code.
Hackers make virus to exploit code.
Hackers use transmission to send virus.
ANUBIS fails to fight off virus.

ok good thought process but this is an ancient ai that has spent millennia thinking i doubt this will work.

Well the issue is that´s not only an AI but also a hivemind, means, more or less, it´s a self-contained network of countless linked together separate AI´s each different from each other communicating and coordinating faster than a mortal mind can fathom, I´m not quite sure if one virus will get you anywhere, I wont be stopping you from trying though.

Casual_Owl
It has been dormant for millennia, not thinking, meaning it has never encountered these viruses before. Even if the viruses do not work completely, they will still demand its attention for some time.

but athena was been thinking this whole time uploading data to the data center anubis has corrupted the data center
i reread the first message and deleted the comment that was incorrect.

Tickytickytango

Casual_Owl
It has never encountered these specific viruses that we are using to hack it, which we created just now.

Tickytickytango

Casual_Owl
Even so, we just now created these viruses, no other computer has ever encountered them.

Despite being called hiveminds, I don't think that they are actually hiveminds. translator's explanation of the HIVEMINDS does not fit your definition, therefore, I don't think that they're actually hiveminds.

As I said, I won´t stop you from trying.

The Protectors seal off the fluid sources and explore the interior of the Fragment.
Of course, there's not much to explore, considering the entire interior of the Fragment consists of 32 corridors, 1 reactor, 1 control room, 1 FTL drive, and 1 crew bunk.
What’s the crew bunk for anyways? Why would an AI’s body have room for crew?
Finding the control room, Lt. Stapleton disables the corruption signal transmitter
One of the soldiers disables the FTL drive.

Hey, I'm here to clear some things up. MINDS are yes AI. But they function in ways that anything other than itself can't be understood without fear of being driven insane. As well the bunks and stuff like that are just here so it's a targetabke and functioning ship in game. They are not canon. As well the fragment is online. Your men would not be able to get to anything ANUBIS wouldn't want them to get to.

With the fluid out of the way, what do the soldiers find when they explore the interior of the Fragment?

translatorofthehiveminds

Tickytickytango
They would just find destroyed technology and no way to get out.

Tickytickytango

translatorofthehiveminds
Surely there must be a transmitter for the signal that corrupts everything.

Casual_Owl

Tickytickytango
Anubis is the fragment why would he let you go to the transmitter

Tickytickytango

Casual_Owl
We have C-4, we can get to it whether ANUBIS lets us or not.

translatorofthehiveminds

Tickytickytango
Then he'll just kill you. He's not exactly your biggest fan. Use some logic here

Tickytickytango

translatorofthehiveminds
How does he plan on killing me?

translatorofthehiveminds

Tickytickytango
He controls The fragment. He'll just use it to crush, let insane amounts of Storm in, or flood an area with fluid.

Tickytickytango

translatorofthehiveminds
I believe I've already stated that the sources of the fluid have been sealed off and that every Storm within several miles has been killed and there are plenty of fortifications and soldiers to hold off any future Storm attack.
