: The sputnik viruses are part of the Fat Loot project. It was developed as a two-track strategy. Intelligence agencies have already the capacity to monitor all relevant electronic communication. So the Network took the dangerous but most rewarding course of action, infecting these agencies in one way or another. At the same time, they took over telecommunication companies either by buying the whole companies or placing employees in key positions. This way the Network has a double check on all data which allows them to react to situations where the counter-intelligence gets suspicious. Every data stream is a trace. With growing monitoring, they expand their grip on the companies and place their programs at the agencies into hibernation, only using them when it's absolutely necessary. | : The sputnik viruses are part of the Fat Loot project.

To hamper identification, mobile communication is also carried out through peer to peer networks. These [[wikipedia:Wireless_ad_hoc_network#Security|mobile networks]] are preferred to have no intermediate nodes, reducing the risk of records been taken by any additional party. Data packages are much bigger than actually necessary. The modern bandwidths [[wikipedia:5G|(7G by 2055 ?)]] allow this and drives TCTF decryption attempts into pure frustration. | |||

* The Bioc is a total blend of nanotechnolgy and biology. | |||

Gamma ray photosynthesis wasn't yet implemented as is very difficult to achieve. Melanin can act as UV absorber when gamma rays lost energy from interacting with other matter, it also protects the cybernetic lifeform from free radicals.) | ||
* Propagation: [.. | * Propagation: the Bioc uses an analog to DNA, made completely of artificial amino acids. This [[wikipedia:Xeno_nucleic_acid|XNA]] is thought to prevent any interaction from natural lifeforms and viruses. Viruses - and hence lose of control - are something that shall be avoided at all costs. | ||
* Getting rid of nuclear waste (and all waste in general): | * Getting rid of nuclear waste (and all waste in general): when the scientists worked energy supply they had had to consider a planet's nuclear decay. The idea emerged that the bioc could be used to sink nuclear waste into the ground, far away from any human. The material could be distributed through the network, either lowering the concentration or bringing it to sites where waste heat could be safely collected and converted to electricity or chemical-bound energy. From that thought, it was an short distance until they realized that they could potentially sink any kind of waste into the ground and eventually degrade it. | ||
* Like the Daodan, the Bioc needs computing power to solve complex tasks.<!-- Due to its crystalline components, the creators decided to let it use [http://phys.org/news/2013-07-valleytronics-electronics-diamond.html valleytronics], which is suitable for quantum computing.--> | * Like the Daodan, the Bioc needs computing power to solve complex tasks.<!-- Due to its crystalline components, the creators decided to let it use [http://phys.org/news/2013-07-valleytronics-electronics-diamond.html valleytronics], which is suitable for quantum computing.--> | ||

* On the other hand, explored matter and stored energy can be used to create any product on a planet's surface. Those "grown on demand" products can be anything as along as a control node was formed and accessible to an human operator which has a connection to a molecular construction database. | |||
* A fully explored planet with a managing AI is termed Gaia. For sequels, Uranus would be the explored and utilized atmosphere. | |||
* For instance, at places rich of carbon compounds, the hull, sensors, and QC parts are made of nanoscale diamonds with a [[wikipedia:Nitrogen-vacancy_center|nitrogen-vacancy center]]. This diamonds with intentional ''defects'' are known to have relative stable quantum states at room temperature. These structures can also be used release energy in from of light in order to uncharge when too much electricity was gathered. But usually this is only a last resort when energy cannot be transfered to different places. | * For instance, at places rich of carbon compounds, the hull, sensors, and QC parts are made of nanoscale diamonds with a [[wikipedia:Nitrogen-vacancy_center|nitrogen-vacancy center]].

* How could Daodan and Bioc merge? Probably by overlapping structures that process information. -- Human mind and the Daodan can interact because the Daodan also has processing organelles inside neurons. Now the bioc, as a third player, could join the party when it invades the brain. Would the Daodan be a [http://phys.org/news/2013-09-hardware-trojans-undetectable.html hardware trojan] to the bioc, or the bioc to the Daodan, or both to each other? In an uncontrolled interaction, the functions of any entity could run amok; for the human, it will mean extreme pain (the bioc invasion alone will stress/destroy a lot of nerves). In the case of Daya, it's one reason why she continues to take drugs of all sorts. | * How could Daodan and Bioc merge?

Actually "earthbound" printing would be much easier, but maybe their are conditions that justify airborne printing. At least it would be fun and epic... | |||
In the manga Blame you can see characters pop into existence, somehow simply growing. In Oni, similar can be archived by molecular printing. A Gaia and Uranus environment isn't absolute necessary but very helpful. At the scene, molecular machines - invisible to the human eye - carry out the construction. Airborne particles have a less density than in liquids or solid aggregates, so in order to speed up the process, strong air streams are forced towards the construction core. The sky will overcloud and even a controlled tornado can emerge. | |||
The heat sources or magnetic fields would determine the motion of the wind. Inverse tornado wouldn't lift the entity to build. | |||
There would be some kind of collector structures around the "core". | |||
Electricity can be harnessed from charged clouds, [[wikipedia:Harvesting_lightning_energy#Directed_plasma_channels|with]] or without lightning. Or simply from the ground (Bioc power grid). | |||
