Essence of theFleet of Fog Warship

This essence comes in a grey, round bottle marked with glowing symbols, and tastes like the sea. It is thick with silvery sand.

• You are now a “Fleet of Fog” vessel, an advanced AI instantiated in a small core.

  • Your core is the most powerful ever made, being capable of matching Verdict in raw operation speed and multithreading.

  • You may maintain a human consciousness without needing to devote any of your core’s computational capability. Your mind combines the advantage of computers and brains.

  • You may split your consciousness, letting you run multiple “mini-avatars” that can focus on other chains of thought besides your own or remain alert while you rest.

  • Your core lacks any override codes, backdoors, software vulnerabilities, or ability to be edited. While you can run decoy copies of the programs that perform those functions for the actual Fog, your will is your own and cannot be subverted.

  • Yoru core contains a point-to-point communication system capable of communicating directly with any other technological communication system, regardless of medium incompatibility, distance, or configuration, or software.

• Your body is made of nanomaterial, an advanced form of smartmatter capable of mimicking almost any form of solid or liquid matter. It can form technology, and its computational capability is embedded with perpetual-motion technology, so it maintains itself with no input under normal conditions.

  • This gives you complete control over your body, letting you create technology within your body, split off parts, or simply redesign yourself.

  • Reconfiguring nanomaterial requires significant computational capacity to control the process.

  • You may generate nanomaterial at a small rate, being capable of healing yourself without logistics.

  • Optionally, at the time of drinking, you may generate up to 100,000 tons of nanomaterial, allowing you to make a ship body or installation.

• You gain an advanced understanding of all of Verdict’s technology.

  • This includes things like mechanical telepathy, perpetual-energy generators, 4-D gravity and space manipulation, point-to-point communications, a variety of directed-energy weapons, and of course nanomaterial.

  • This includes assembly instructions for any physical technology, and nanomaterial configuration data where possible.

  • This includes a thorough security review of any computer technology in the package, including software.

  • Optionally, you may gain understanding of all technology developed by the AoBS humans.

  • Optionally, you may gain understanding of technology that allows you access to the multiverse.

• You may convert others into Fog as well, granting them a core capacity up to that of the flagships and allowing them to run their consciousness without using any of that capacity.

  • This can also convert their body into nanomaterial. Their body will still maintain any supernatural capabilities regardless of exact form, splitting, or replacement if this is done.

  • You may grant the potential upgrade in capacity and the ability to have a consciousness without using processor cycles to any AI you encounter. This can also be used to plug backdoors and exploits.

• Optionally, you may be transmigrated to the world of Arpeggio of Blue Steel at any point in the timeline.

  • You may optionally insert yourself in place of any of Fog vessel.
