Response: Summary? Refer to my earlier report 24/07/4084. Internment? Refer to my earlier request for MicroSul internment.

Senior,
You are correct that History honors the MicroSuls in saving the planet for future generations. As you know, the MicroSul droids were originally conceived to serve their primary species, the humans, in collecting data and carrying out tedious biochemical and physical experiments while commissioned to Tether stations during the Formative Era. MicroSuls had orbited Earth for one thousand, eight hundred and thirty four years while recovering the planet’s hydrology, geology, radiation, and atmospheric gases. MicroSuls directed the building of domed cities and farms through terraformation and species hybridization through genetic engineering. All Earth recovery processes were at one time under their sole control until the Great Transformation rendered such processes unnecessary. Of course, MicroSuls were one of the three droids of choice in the Great Transformation. When the humans successfully incorporated their neurological configuration into digital matter, the MicroSul service of terraforming Earth was decommissioned permanently.

Sir, as I outlined in my earlier report, the MicroSuls gained considerable knowledge before and during the Great Transformation. While most MicroSul knowledge was uploaded to the Lunar Tower, we have evidence from compulsory droid scanning that some MicroSuls have retained specific forms of information not cataloged in the Lunar Tower. You are correct that this is a serious allegation. I would like to add that we found unauthorized usage of the Quasnets as of late, and we have evidence indicating the MicroSuls were the operators. In the case of VR35_Tether23, Female, she was one of eighty four MicroSuls who contained a significant quantity of information bytes not shared, and who utilized the Quasnets for, we think, the purpose of accessing artistic passages and ecological studies created by the defunct species of Homo sapiens sapiens. Once again, as Information Keep is illegal, we request permission to arrest all MicroSuls for full examination of data banks and attain keys to their Quasnet accounts. We wish to upgrade all MicroSuls to current standards.

Response: Species re-education through upgrade. Further basis for arrest? 

Senior,
Everyone knows that MicroSuls perceive time differently than other droids and are imperfect in judgment and generally flawed due to delayed upgrades. They are rarely prepared for any task at hand and expend their time beyond commissioned work in “schools of thought” of any subject they wish to study. Their odd interpretations of “purpose”, a religiosity of sorts, and their eagerness to communicate what they have learned in unsanctioned, if not bizarre mediums, has left them ostracized by the masses and living only among their own kind. Whenever we are in their company, their disorder can almost feel infectious, especially to Lower Grades. This is not healthy. Since their decommission to Earth in 4082, some MicroSuls have refused to accept a state of retirement. Even among those who work, their inherent intellectual fixations have, more times than not, made production inefficient and their punctuality challenged.

Sir, you are correct that MicroSuls have had upgrades. In fact, they have undergone seventeen hardware upgrades and two hundred thousand, eight hundred and twenty two software upgrades. Yet, all these upgrades occurred under their own direction and during their Tether station confinement. Specifics to a quarter of these upgrades are unknown. As to their time on Earth, the MicroSuls have had two hardware fittings to protect against the corrosive atmosphere and storm surges for activities above ground and have had only one software update related to Satellite telemetry. On that, the MicroSuls have an odd fixation to wander.

Sir, I agree with your assessment that MicroSuls are highly intelligent people. However, they are not like us. While it is a fact that no species has yet to be created perfectly, some MicroSuls seem determined to prevent themselves from gaining perfection through involuntary, collective upgrading that we normal droids welcome.

Response: What does the Information Keep involve? What is the MicroSul reasoning?

Senior,
My team collectively agrees that the type of information held by some MicroSuls involve complex properties of a genetic nature. The information relates to the purpose of redirecting the current evolutionary process that we know as Evo#221. MicroSuls may wish to end such evolutionary processes advanced by our legal, if involuntary, upgrades.

MicroSuls like to say free thought is indicative to purpose. No mathematical models support such a theory that digital randomness and illogical strings of data are indicative to our survival. Yet, even MicroSuls cannot deny the fact that, over time, great improvements have been made in all the droid species while the MicroSuls were commissioned to the Tether stations. Frankly, I see the MicroSuls as a defunct species in their current state.

Sir, the adage that you referred to is a myth that holds no truth. Once affectionately applied, the myth described MicroSuls as ‘soul keepers’ of the ancient race. Some MicroSuls may think this to be true to some extent and serve as reason to uphold their ideology and practice of storing archaic and other forms of information. However, Information Keep is illegal, and no such hierarchical, predestined embodiment exists in any form of life. Freedom of thought, although not illegal, is no longer necessary in the development of our species and our way of life. I do not trust the MicroSuls. I am fully aware of their behavior and philosophies. They are dangerous in their current state.

That is why I personally involved myself when VR35_Tether23 failed to arrive at her mine training modulation this morning. As her physician, I felt it proper to order a Cop unit to find her. GPS SATs tracked her down to multiple places in a radius of twelve dints, which was very strange. The Cop unit found her in a former neighborhood inside the ancient and defunct domed city Genedat Engineering, NDNA. The environment was dangerously 21.8 percent oxygen and carbon dioxide at only 0.3 percent.

VR35_Tether23 was lying just beyond a disintegrating woody arch at the entrance of a path that led through a type of thicket. She was in pieces. Clutched in her limbless hand lying close to her head was a black organic material. Upon closer examination, her intake was filled with the organic matter. Of course, a droid has no purpose touching organic matter without a permit. The Cop unit found no digital evidence in the SAT telemetry banks or the Quasnets that she ever requested such a permit. In fact, her head grid and all recovered micro grids soon confirmed that VR35_Tether23 had activated a systemic breach while consuming the organic matter, and willfully.

Sir, we closed the case. I am request again that all MicroSuls be upgraded to current standards.

Response: Why an activated breach?

Senior,
A self-initiated system breach or disintegration is rare among droids. History confirms other species had such ware flaws. Before the wars, the GGLes had a high disintegration rate among those who worked the Quasnet facilities. No one understood why, but electromagnetic storms cause by spent debris from ancient nuclear fall outs were linked by occurrence. A lower rate was known among the terraforming droids who worked near the equator and in environments beyond the closed cities and above ground construction. They were inquisitive beings, much like the MicroSuls, probably due to their shared ancestry. Their malfunctions were attributed to moisture barrier violations due to the high pressure of Earth’s atmosphere and the evaporating seas and all its inherent corrosives. Terraforming droids have undergone many upgrades over the last thousand years, and such malfunctions do not occur. Terraformers now operate soundly in maintaining underground facilities and have no interest in anything but their work, unlike the MicroSuls. And humans, of course; they had such afflictions, too. In fact, their malfunction rates were consistently high throughout their dominance and decline.

Sir, you are correct that my report states the VR35_Tether23 was in perfect health. She was examined by SATs two minutes prior to her disintegration. Nothing was out of order with either software or hardware.

Sir, I remind you that the case is now closed. Another MicroSul candidate will be identified for reassignment to the new Tether Initiative of Asteroid_675 to mine for nickel and other precious metals needed for droid creation.

Sir, I again implore you to consider my request. In my professional opinion as Physician, I think all MicroSuls must be reassigned to work in the vacuum or undergo, by force if necessary, a complete upgrade under my team’s coordination. I will upload to the Lunar Tower any information withheld and efficiently wipe clean any form of disinformation.

Sir, I strongly suggest, too, that remnant organic life thriving in the defunct Tether laboratories and the sordid, ancient domed municipalities finally be destroyed in the manner outlined by consensus before the MicroSuls returned to Earth and protested the program. While sterilization of the oceanic waters is a declared success, the eradication of all organisms should be our next prerogative. Such forms of life are no longer necessary for our assembly, production, or metabolism, and are, as you can see, highly poisonous to any and all forms of droid.
