XXI was standing still in the workshop of Old Thadic, the Kin had given him a task to study and even craft what should he be able some civilian power suit, to allow Kin miner to move safely on the frozen hellish surface.
If or rather when Phi would achieve that trial, he would be granted secret schematics of ancient technology, a famous Dyson sphere. A solar megastructure that encompasses a star and captures a large percentage of its solar power output.
In fact, there was one once equivalent around the local sun. There were various designs of it, some more adapted that others, the one in Thion system was the construct known as Dyson Bubble, satellites suspended by use of nano material sail using radiation pressure to counteract the star's pull of gravity. Post-scarcity energy society attained.
A wonder both in its materials, its architecture, its maintenance and the physics implied. A wonder for which the Mechanicum would start a war, he internally chuckled, reminiscing Belisarius Cawl comments in the data pad on his colleagues as a bunch of “Techno barbarians”.
The Mechanicum would, reasonable assumption, attempt to destroy it probably as Xenotech created by Abominable intelligence. Or hide it into their treasure trove. Or worship it.
Speaking of mechanics, his Ironkin assistant was helping in the task ahead, fetching his much-needed tools, a wonderful bot that had been his butler since the past few weeks. He would have to ask as well for a tool machinery course next time.
Meanwhile, XXI Brain was challenged intellectually by the Imperium question. He was reviewing Alpha legion protocols as well as historical treatises about some ancient case of covert military intervention, in which an external power secretly provides military assistance during a war. The decision to stay silent after detecting enemy pilots is a case of collusion, in which one government detects but does not publicize or confirm the secret intervention of another government. He had distinct questions. First, why use a covert form of intervention, especially if it will be detected by an adversary? Second, why would an adversary play along? He called that phenomenon The Conspiracy of Silence.
