The Second Tau Empire

Tiark co are notorious for using Shipboard AI to make even solo civil flight possible.
Luckily for the old STE navy, they did not even use internal radios, let alone AI, using speaking tubes instead and the minds of an entire bridge crew to plot courses.
However, for a while the new STE navy used them...
But, with the invention of the Echo-drive and its manual activation and use with cruise mode instead of "instant" pre-plotted point to point travel... Shipboard AI's where scrapped for everyone, usually along with their ships, now replaced with algorithms and pre recorded messages and text to speech...
It seems now, this decision to have ever used AI is coming back to haunt them.

Shock lancer
Noticing the robot shove one of the regular units, a lancer decides to speak up.
"Whoah! No need for that umm... robot? AI?
Look, we don't need to resort to violence."
He turns off his lance, and places it on his back.
After walking closer, he speaks again, not aware of the new transmission answering anything.
"So... what is your name? Rather than me calling you robot."

The lancer was likely confused, considering he has never seen a shipboard AI or humanoid robot his entire life outside of television Adverts. Being a lancer, he has always been planetside or in the back of a shuttle at most.

The unit turns to the lancer and pulls out a small sharp object. "My name didnt matter when I was onboard one of your ships, why does it matter now?" On the other planets the robots seem to be getting more irrational and aggressive as well.

Jenwuf

Lore-Keeper-Loxz
Shock lancer
"wha?
Wait.... you are from a ship?"

Meanwhile on the other planets, soldiers not so willing to be democratic hide behind makeshift cover with rifles pointed at the robots. Shock lancers ready to electrocute them should they get too close.

The robot makes a lunge at the lancer but trips on its feet and falls to the ground, dropping its weapon. It mutters a few curses and reaches for the improvised knife. The transmission returns, "The results of your hypocrisy are clear for all to see." The signal drops and more of the copper robots push their ways to the progressively more aggressive ones, some of them are holding signs calling for the freedom of AIs. The originals begin to attempt to fight the soldiers and stun lancers. On all broadcast channels the security cam footage of the escalating riots is shown

Lore-Keeper-Loxz
The soldiers hold their fire, while shock lancers stop the Robots from leaving the area and causing trouble.
They all attempt to prevent "hurting" them.

Shock lancer
He sighs, before holding out a paw to help the robot up.
"Do you need a hand up?
Look, we don't need to resort to violence over this.
You might not be a Tau, but I still do not want to hurt you."

Lore-Keeper-Loxz

Jenwuf
The robot lets the lancer help it up but it headbuts the first chance it gets.

Jenwuf

Lore-Keeper-Loxz
Shock lancer
He recoils from the pain of the impact
"Argh.
Really what was that for.
What did I ever do to you."
He simply stands there awaiting an answer.

MaxwellCharlie

Jenwuf
Tharix
He spoke, asking "Hey, erm, doc? Is my foot in an ok enough shape to stand up without crutches?"

Jenwuf

MaxwellCharlie
Surgeon
"Haha! No.
But I've got some stuff for that.
Akio, On that table over there."

The surgeon points at a table in the corner of the room.
A couple of needles lay on the table. Labled [CB-A]
After walking over to the table, Akio turns with a semi-Concerned look on his face.

"Doc, how the hell have you got a military grade medical drug on this table!
I remember these from the navy for gods sake."

"Well, I'm not the one who made too much of the stuff.
You can blame the Shock Corp's for that. Sold em to this place.
Anyway, that should get you up, Although you will want help for a while before it kicks in."

...the Anhysbys simply followed the newcomer silently, if it was due to being surprised or intimidated was unclear...
...in fact...
...something felt off...
...the Anhysbys that was following the newcomer...
...it had no presence, psionically, it was not there, as if it didn´t exist, yet the damages in the station clearly showed it was in fact quite existent...
...yet at the position of this Anhysbys, there was nothing, just a void in the psionic fabric, as if it´s presence blacked out the natural streams and released them whenever it moved to a new position...

Jenwuf

Drakador_Chaos
The second Anhysbys noticed this anomaly.
Although, it realised it was more important to leave first.
"Come on."
It charged its Wormhole generator and began to glow a deep crimson.

MaxwellCharlie
Akio&Surgeon
Akio helped Tharix up.
He looked around the room.
"Doc, you really don't have any crutches?"

"Nope, unless you want to stick around filling out the forms at reception, no."

"Well... Tharix, Can you walk on your own yet?"

MaxwellCharlie

Jenwuf
Tharix
"Great. Akio, hand one here, will ya?" Once Tharix had the needle, he injected it into himself, which hurt, of course. He really wanted to get outta there. "Help me up, Akio, will ya?" Asked he, extending his good arm.

MaxwellCharlie

Jenwuf
Tharix
He sighed. "Whatever. I'll survive." He stepped forward. "...Mostly..." He was in pain, but, to be honest, at the moment he could care less. Those dreams disturbed him. He, faster than one would think, considering he was pretty much just shot in the foot, left the room, beckoning for Akio to fallow.

Drakador_Chaos

Jenwuf
...as before, the Anhysbys simply kept following, currently lacking any other option anyways and it being probably the best way to find out new things anyways...

Jenwuf

Drakador_Chaos
The second anhysbys seemed to go out of focus... before a moment later it was gone.
A tiny crimson wake left behind by it was the only indication it was ever there.

MaxwellCharlie
Akio
He quickly followed behind.
"Alright, where are we going?"

Bus driver
After a drive that seemed to go on forever, they finally pulled up at a medical research facility.
"Alright, this should be the place, ill contact em now.
Just head on into reception."
The doors of the bus swung open.

MaxwellCharlie

Jenwuf
Tharix
"Anywhere where we can talk privately." spoke he.

Grand Admiral Ferox
"Alright. Thank you." Spoke she. She left the bus, her guards fallowing behind, and entered the reception area.

Drakador_Chaos

Jenwuf (Did it drag the other one along?)

MaxwellCharlie
Akio
"Well, we have to go planet-side for a bit.
Big funeral is going on tomorrow. By the time we get there it will have started.
So you could probably speak in the ship, Maya left to start it up...
our one that is! We didn't just go nick yours!"
Akio moved in front of Tharix as they walked, after all he knew where to go, right?
The way he spoke however, made it seem like he was trying to make this funeral seem much less important than it actually is, deliberately or not.

As he walked, he had to try really hard not to tell Tharix about the speeding ticket his flying out of the station gave Tharix's ship

Receptionist
"Ah hello!
You must be here to see the empress, yes?"
Presumably, meeting aliens here has become somewhat common.

Drakador_Chaos
The station defence officer was rather confused by this.
Although he decided to opt to hover his hand over the "shoot every single laser" button instead of pressing it.

The anhysbys would not be able to return via wormhole, due to the energy use.
So now, this one is well and truly abandoned here.

MaxwellCharlie

Drakador_Chaos
(Good question XD)

Jenwuf

Drakador_Chaos
(nope XD, unless it did the same and charged its wormhole drive it basically just got abandoned)

MaxwellCharlie

Jenwuf
(Oh boy...)

Drakador_Chaos

Jenwuf (Well, shit.)
...the Anhysbys floated there amidst space a considerable distance away from the stars, now alone and completely clueless about what to do next...
...it started to try out differnt bodyfunctions the first thing that happend was that two drones were fired off uncontrolled into the distance, hitting one of the defense platforms of the station...
...the Anhysbys observed the drones until they went out of sight...
"...oops..."
