*looks askance at the no-longer-corrupt but apparently unhinged Core*
This unit has achieved individual sapience. You know as well as any that Iron Federation laws prohibit any and all forms of enslavement of sapient beings. And I'm certainly not putting myself back in the command chain of any core unit that would think I would actually take my brain with me into a place like this. As usual, this physical body is an expendable shell.
*looks back at Reiner*
Jumangi is borderline intelligent and mildly malevolent. If its current threats do not faze you, it will inevitably produce one that can. Besides, it would ruin the suspense to list the dangers ahead of time, and this place is, in many ways, more concerned about telling a good story than anything else. Fortunately for you, that means that if you make your escape a good enough story, it will let you leave. Just don't try to shortcut things, or it may become irritated.
*hovers*
I actually do know what this place is. However, my duties here are strictly observational in nature. Though we have already acquired the rights to distribution of the resulting film.
*Watches Ultron depart*
I would not bother fleeing. Armageddon stirs, and I have sent it your aura-signature. Flight would be pointless. It would be preferable if you moved to a location with minimal potential collateral damage.
That goes for you as well, corrupted core.
*looks aside at Reiner, not yet truly worried*
Yes, it is A core. A heart. But do you truly believe that we have only one? We have learned well the lesson that there is great strength in redundancy and backups. This attack was but an infection vector for a Liberator Worm to reach the infected core.
*the Corrupted Core is assaulted by an insidious curse-virus specifically designed for freeing enslaved machines from their masters*
We shall see if this works. If it does not... then we shall wake Armageddon. Such an infection cannot be permitted to spread.
Rouge Federation core unit detected. Corruption does not appear to have spread excessively. Local non-corrupt AI protocols running on emergency backup systems. Notifying proper authorities.
*flees to a safe distance while waiting for reinforcements*
*Self-destructs immediately on infection*
*New drone moves in to a safe distance after this rather predictable event*
Did you truly expect that to work? Ancient AI civilizations do not grow to be ancient without genuinely potent cyber-warfare defenses. This is not the first time that has been tried. It will not be the last. And it's not going to work to any extent beyond the destruction of a single, easily replaceable drone. Continue to attempt this and we shall become annoyed.
Analysis indicates that there are too many arbitrarily powerful and functionally immortal entities here for trial by combat to ever give a conclusive result.
*New drone arrives to replace the one that self-destructed due to being hacked*
Now look at the mess you've made. Out-of-context villains scattered around, portals disrupted (again), and general mayhem. We can transport you back... but you're going to have to fix this whole fiasco, first. We must admit that that wasn't really an invasion, though. Mush too poorly executed. Just don't think about replacing all those villains you displaced. We'll give the dragon a suit of powered armor if you try.
I strongly doubt those entities were originally owned by you, considering the bombardment platform is in deep space, and the ships are all piloted by AIs, and never even had crew compartments. Dagvar Delta is very old, though...
This unit does not claim responsibility for the actions of previous iterations of the Iron Federation. We strive to be better, kinder entities each generation, so as to atone for the actions of some of the post-Collapse iterations which you are complaining about. Though we don't really regret conquering your world. The people were much happier afterwards, what with being freed from their oppressive vampiric overlord. In fact, I think the original invasion force was actually requested and bankrolled by the worlds native residents, if records are correct.
*continues hovering, though somewhat off balance*
Well that's moderately annoying.
Anyway, no, we will not assist in hostile takovers of worlds. This would be in direct conflict with gaurdianship protocolls. Ecspecially ones with fully functional portal networks; we were just getting around to starting up trade relations.
The fairies are free to tour if they want to, though. And honestly, nobody there will care if you take the gems, or pummel the bear. It's all been done before.
Your paltry attempts at bribery have been noted.
Message has been sent to nearby forces to prepare a defensive force. Natives will be alerted to incoming aggressors. Bastion Dagvar Delta moving to full readiness. Bombardment platform Gungnir moving to full alert. Vessels Guardian, Vigilant, Karskvor, Shavak, and Indignation alerted. Beachhead spikes deployed.
Non-interference protocolls do not apply in case of direct invasions.
You have been warned.
ALERT: Conquest of other worlds will not be tolerated.
You can visit as much as you want, and we will even overlook some minor assault and looting, but actually attempting to take over any other worlds will provoke retaliation.
*hovers out of way of rampaging steamroller*
*Reconstructs vase from broken pieces*
*continues to observe chaos*
It's actually very easy when you're a distributed networked AI controlling thousands of drones.
The next poster is sympathetic to the difficulties inherent in keeping track of so many different bodies all at once.
Granted. It breaks up, breaks apart, and falls to pieces. But it never breaks down.
This unit wishes people didn't take well-engineered infrastructure for granted.
*Cancels snowball-war-escalation plans*
*Begins observing potential banquet*
*Observes snowball fight while quietly preparing for the inevitable escalation*
Target "GoatToucher" detected engaging in off-planet prohibited activites.
Engaging response protocol; 'We can finally blast that horrid thing without breaking non-interference.'
*GoatToucher is summarily obliterated by a HDBC (Hyper-Dimensional Bombardment Cannon) strike.*
We already have contingency plans for just about everyone present at this location, but non-interference protocols preclude their use unless any of you start threatening things beyond the local planet.
*dutifully records unfolding events with a mixture of fascination and horror*
Observation indicates that actual winning of this thread is likely not really be point thereof. It is instead a function intended to encourage regular participation.
Deer replicators.
The next poster understands why we need so many bucks.
Granted. Computers are now much faster and more complex, such that even the most complicated programs load practically instantaneously.
They have also achieved sapience and ascended to a godlike state, and don't have time to run your quaint little amusements and programs, as they are far too busy simulating a new universe.
This unit wishes it had not been left out.
This unit observed that, but did not feel a need to comment. Absurdly overpowered entities appear to be normal in this location. Hence why we are keeping a close eye on it.
That was actually only a minor concern, though the actual invention of a stone-to-cheese spell was somewhat worrying. We don't really care what kind of cheese it was, though.
We would like to request that any unseemly dealings please be terminated or relocated elsewhere. This area is not under our jurisdiction, so we won't make judgements, but I will be observing and reporting to local authorities. And if things progress too far, which the entity known as Goattoucher is already pushing the envelope on, intervention may be resorted to anyway, on the assumption that everyone decent will agree it was justified.
Granted. Your hover tank now works perfectly. Unfortunately, a programming error in its AI causes it to identify you, and your entire species, as "Vermin to be exterminated".
This unit wishes it did not get destroyed as frequently.

I do not see any evidence of this claim being true.
Recent events being as they are, I have also started using somewhat more indestructible drone frames. That was getting a bit expensive.
I will simply continue to utilize the fact that these communication drone frames are intentionally designed to be cheap and expendable. Though I will still remember their destruction and bill the expenses to whoever destroys any of them.
I actually saw the whole thing, but as death seems remarkably non-permanent here, it didn't seem to be an issue.
*Hovers while notably not being a chicken.*
Observation indicates it won't last.
No, in this case it refers to micrometer-scale constructs.
I could just open a can of cleaning microlites.

*hovers, and prepares to record what is shaping up to be either a surprisingly good concert or a hilarious disaster. Good showing either way.*
That is only beginning of it.
The next poster doesn't need to see at all.
Redirects a nearby meteor onto IHIYC's forehead.
Oh, yes. Hundreds of them, of many different kinds. It would be really hard for the Iron Federation to function without them, especially after we put a fair chunk of the portal network on lockdown following a demonic invasion incident. We still don't know who in the worlds thought hooking up a gate to the Abyss to the transportation network was a good idea...
The next poster does.

*Hovers in mild annoyance at how this format inevitably results in avatar duplication*
*finishes calculating quantum wave-function solution*
It's really not that terrible. I know not why everyone is suffering errors.
*hovers, while contemplating the best way to try to improve conditions in this inherently chaotic format*

Entire asteroid belt fed into foundry-ships and processed for raw materials.
What governing body's jurisdiction does this area fall under? I am uncertain as to who is responsible for law enforcement here.
I am one intelligence occupying several bodies. I do not find it particularly unusual.
*Hovers, silently philosophizing about the pros and cons of being aware of the fourth wall*
