Found out that there may be FTL communication between the rover and a mysterious server originating from govt. and quantum related company. Further sleuthing finds that this FTL connection is being used to censor images of Mars in real time. Another workmate got shafted afterwards, author got paranoid. What if it's a Sovereign that was censoring the images? Maybe to eliminate evidence of its own failed probe? -[[http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/07/01/quake-3-arena-world-peace_n_3529082.html Quake 3 Bots at Peace]] Premise: an anon remembered that he left a quake 3 server up for three years. Due to the learning algorithms used by Quake 3, each bot would learn new strategies from each game. When the anon booted up Quake 3 again, he saw that the bots stood still facing each other. When he killed one of them, the rest of the bots grab the nearest weapons and kill him in unison. What would happen if a Sovereign bent on world peace awaken to sentience from this server? What would be its first move?
