Frog Pond

[Urizen]

<peeks in>

Urizen studies this ecosystem to see if there are heretics abound.

[Dragonborn Junior]

Now why is there someone intruding into the quite sanctum of a red dragon?

[Butterfrog]

Good thing we don't pay rent in here, this pond is rarely used anymore...

dusts off the place

Where ees zhe frogs? I weel cook zhem up weeth zome butter!

[Primary Adjunct of paizomatix 0]

Drones continue activity paying little mind to the interlopers

[Urizen]

Urizen observes that his mere presence has awaken the inhabitants of this ecosystem from their hibernation. Urizen takes notes.

GRRRRRR!

[Butterfrog]

Mind the lily pads, some are carnivorous. We have lost one too many good frogs to those.

Noticing the weeds on the factory world have started to attract vermin and disengages the atmospheric shielding, flooding the world with lethal amounts of radiation and blowing away the atmosphere. The drones then continue to rearrange the components of the former outer planets into something useful to the collective

*sneaks in prettending to be a frog*

"ribbit"

[Urizen]

Urizen continues to take notes from Pad 47. *scribble scribble*

[Emperor7]

Careful. We believe Apple has inserted some of their ILilyPads into the local ecosystem. It could be a trap.

Seeing the vermin still wondering about the factory. The drones place a sigh out front that reads " Trespassers will be assimilated "

Nice to see the place I'm guarding(for the froggies anyway) is becoming a bit more lively.

Still crawling with 'borgs thou...

[Primary Adjunct of paizomatix 0]

We do have a factory here.
Why would we not be here?
Imperfect beings, such as yourselves are troublesome at times

Do stay in designated areas

[Butterfrog]

At least 80rg is making itself useful...

*stays in designated area*

[Primary Adjunct of paizomatix 0]

That would be the new public relations protocol
Drones of Species 912 made good test subjects

[Celestial Follower]

<Gates in>

Wow! There are a lot of frogs here!

<Opens bag and several frogs jump in. Gates out>

[Primary Adjunct of paizomatix 0]

The collective thanks you for donating a DNA sample by gateing into the facility
We will see if it proves useful

Gathers up the frogs, makes frog leggs for "guests"

[Urizen]

<barrel rolls into the frog pond with a big splash. After a couple minutes, surfacing...>

G%$~$@n jacks.

<shuffles out of the pond and out of the thread>

[ulgulanoth]

Don't blame us. You grabbed one of our empty beer kegs by mistake. The 'little' pile is the one you wanted.

Deactivates Species 912 drone and takes it to be disassembled

The collective can see that protocol is flawed

Clones new drones

The collective is patient
The collective will try again

The collective will combine the DNA of species 912 and Species 692 and try again

Creates hybrid drones

[ulgulanoth]

try the DNA of species 8658!

[Primary Adjunct of paizomatix 0]

Th collective does does not have such a species designation on file
Would you point it out to us
Your Species is unknown to the collective
Unknown Species designation is now 1144
Species 1144 will be added to the collective databanks

Hands out pamphlets entitled "Assimilation and you" to Species 1144

darts into thread and drops a databank disc.

Species 327 is running amok. Also sighting of Unknown Species designation are seen arriving toward domicile of Species 327. Unknown Species designation are in pursuit of random species to assimilate into their collective. Unknown Species may be a rogue collective.

The collective thought leaving the reproductive organs intact could be an issue with compatibly

Deactivates and destroys drones

The collective shall leave them out of the next batch and try again

Starts cloning a new batch and teleports the drones to the jacks clubhouse upon activation

woa, i never thought i'd ever be my own species, all those years of magical transmutation experiments did pay off in the end

[Primary Adjunct of paizomatix 0]

Yes, if you would like to being your flawed form closer to perfection:We can help you with that goal.
Assimilation has many benefits
Here are but a few
*Immortality
*Leaning to work as a Team
*Having your biological and technological uniqueness built into millions of drones
*Great dental plan
*Regeneration
*Overcoming the need to sleep, eat or go to the restroom
*Having a will save of over 9000

To show you what a strong team you could be joining
The current State of the collective is as follows
The collective currently has 37'937'384'492'081 drones active
The collective counts 29'800'042 ships active
The collective counts 982'997 factory's operating at capacity
The collectives biological make up entails 15 of 41 designated Species

So if your thinking about a change:Think about joining the collective
