HFPE: Blacklist:
COVENANT OF SPARKADIA [HOLY DOMINION OF THE TWIN GODS' EMPIRE], ALAR CLOAK ALPHA-ZERO
In the space between worlds, the vast, nebulous void where space, time and reality are not so much truth but rather the subject of questions, there exists a object. It is perfectly smooth and perfectly spherical, and hangs wholly and entirely still in the almost-literal nothingness that surrounds it; it does not rotate, drift, or even move. It is, in fact, only distinguishable against the backdrop for two reasons - one, rather than being purely black, it is a deep, shimmering steel, like a polished, gleaming blade, and two, it is the size of Sparkadia.
Sparkadia the planet, that is.
Deep inside the gargantuan object, there stands a man--if, indeed, he could be truly thought of as a man at all--by the name of Magery. He is tall, built to the scale of myth and legends rather than mere mortality, and the very vacuum around him seems to sizzle with suppressed power.
He reaches forward, and his hand lightly depresses the button before him, slow and languid. There is a brief moment of silence, and then the entire planet-sized sphere around him springs to life, trillions of Energy Slivers providing the necessary power to activate the single greatest individual construction in the history of the Covenant, or indeed the Empire itself:
The first SEKHMET-class AI,
False Humility
.
Comprised solely of quantum computational units linked together over the Quantum Fortress (and linked out to every other system part of the Fortress), bleeding-edge gestalt AI/consciousness technology, with Energy Slivers, QECs, a planetary-class Aegis system, kilometres of neutronium-carbon fibre composite plating and all the processing power a planet-sized AI implies,
False Humility
is the new supreme operational commander for the TGE military and cyberwarfare divisions.
