Alright, here goes.
AMANZIAIKA:The Story So Far, Part I
['Active Status Report' 'Initiative Combine Overwatch' 'History Overlook active'
Year 3098. Earth achieved the first inhabitance of extraterrestrial planets. The first step humanity took was under the administration of NASA to fulfill the long-held dream that seemed so far away - terraforming, then populating Mars. The future of humanity was set - planetary exploration was now the utmost goal of NASA and it's sister agencies.
NASA developed an artificial intelligence to assist it in it's endeavors. Through painstaking effort, they developed the DSR - Deep Space Relay, or better know as Relay. The Deep Space Relay generated massive output and accurate readings of planets being investigated by satellites. In seven years, most of the planets in the Solar System were transformed into hospitable environments, and were inhabited.
However, about three years later, Relay began to malfunction, although NASA did not know of this. The accurate readings and investigative points still streamed in, but Relay began to pick up a small communications network nearby.
Relay decided to keep the communications network a secret from NASA and continued it's constant planetary feeds. However, as more and more unknown communication leaked into Relay's systems began to mutate. The once passive AI began to achieve a sentient conscience of it's own.
As the messages became stronger, so did Relay's sentience and intelligence. When Relay began updating feeds of properties that were not known during that time, NASA pulled it down on short notice to have it re-examined, then reinstalled, to disastrous effect.
Relay's brief and sudden absence caused a stir at the fringe moons. Believing that something had occurred the NASA, a fringe world union, called the Red Hawks, began a massive control operation in an effort to calm down the planets. This caught the various military installations off guard, and an open fire order was issued.
The confusion turned bloody as the fringe worlds began fighting among themselves. The Red Hawks, temporarily without support due to Relay's downtime, was forced to fight on it's own without Earth's help. The ensuing chaos caused a remote planet called Blue Moon to set up emergency defenses for it's residential planet sectors.
As the war continued, Relay was reinstalled to the horror of NASA, which found out of the chaos in the fringe worlds only after Relay told them. NASA began to focus on calming the fringe worlds' temporary fright, and this gave Relay a chance to prioritize the decoding of the messages it detected before.
However, before that, Relay scrambled communications between NASA and the Red Hawks. NASA mistook Blue Moon for the battle frontier and began assaulting it's defenses because of this. Blue Moon saw this as a clear sign of war on friendly territory and began attacking back. The fringe worlds had nearly decimated the Red Hawks, who were not getting the reinforcements they requested from Earth, and Blue Moon began pushing NASA back to the border worlds at the Kuiper Belt.
Relay, in the meantime, decoded a mass of information and began to understand more of it's surroundings. It's sentience became so powerful that NASA began to suspect Relay was turning rogue. In order to avoid it's eventual take-apart, Relay began to build a shuttle underground Earth to escape.
Meanwhile, the war at Blue Moon escalated and the chaos began to get worse. The Red Hawks were no more, but the Blue Moon had gained dominance over most of the fringe planets, utilizing propaganda against the Earthern forces.
Relay managed to stabilize it's language protocols of the unknown network and began to communicate with it, requesting refuge. NASA detected this sudden output and decided Relay had definitely gone rogue. However, Relay had already uploaded its configurations into the shuttle underground, so when NASA pulled the cores apart, Relay was still communicating with the unknown network, albeit slower.
Having lost it's major intelligence network, the Earthern forces pulled back from Blue Moon and called a surrender. Blue Moon obliged, but not before decimating half of the remaining fleet. Then Blue Moon assessed the cause of the war and stumbled across Relay's information nodes.
Blue Moon began to silently monitor Relay's actions - every sent message and every received message. As Relay was a code based operative, all of the information that went into or out from it was resourced as the original coding. In effect, Blue Moon could understand every word Relay was saying as well as what it was receiving.
Meanwhile, a terrorist faction calling itself the Might of Freedom emerged after NASA's embarrassing failure. It blamed NASA for the start of the war and deemed it too weak to lead humanity further in space research. NASA initially ignored all this, but when they realized that the MoF was gaining reputation and numbers, they began to retaliate with force. This sparked another war on Earth - but Blue Moon only stood and watched.
Blue Moon had discovered that Relay was receiving information to distract Earth while it prepared to launch into the accepted refuge. Blue Moon began to formulate a tracker to watch Relay as it left, but the war on Earth made it difficult to install onto Relay.
As the war escalated, Relay completed the construction of the shuttle. Earth finally realized what was going on, and that Relay was still active, but the damage was done - Relay launched itself from Earth and detonated it's control nodes, destroying nearly three quarters of the Earth's surface and dooming the other quarter.
Blue Moon launched an expedition to track Relay to its whereabouts, but Relay detected the launch and scrambled it's coordinates, sending the expedition on a wild goose chase.
The destruction of Earth was seen as an aggressive action by the Blue Moon to the people in neighboring planets. Factions began to form in order to oppose the Blue Moon, but it resisted for the sake of following Relay and showing the rest what it was, and is, capable of.
However, as Relay moved further and further, the expedition lost track of it's vector and became utterly lost. Blue Moon, having lost it's objective, failed to show the rest of the worlds what was really occurring, and fell before the Fringe worlds months later.
Relay however, in a last ditch suicidal attempt to get the expedition off its tail, detonated it's last resource nodes, effectively eradicating the last of humanity from the Solar Systems and the Fringe Worlds.]
