Time is Ripe II

After completing the intricate assembly of the molecular fabricator and transitioner, Wesley recognizing the need for raw materials to feed into his visionary machines, he opted for a sustainable approach. Scouring for excess supplies and repurposing discarded trash, he amassed a trove of resources destined to breathe life into advanced robots crafted by the Minerva simulation's designs. It was a moment teeming with potential, the air crackling with the anticipation of creation.

As the machines hummed to life, ready to commence the transformative process, Wesley was thinking about Orion. Looking down at his phone, "Orion, I want these robots to have individuality, thus for the first one to be created. Like how you were the first AI, I created. This body that is about to be built, will be yours."

[Orion] Taken by surprise from the sudden remark but also felt excited to be the first of his kind. "Thank you sir." Orion stated with deep gratitude heard within his voice.

After their decision within the Minerva simulation to make the bodies a 'vessel' for AI's, allowed for them to further have individuality in the physical world, just as much in the digital realm.Thus Wesley thinking of a name he needed to call this new race of AI's. They would be known as Exos, a name that resonated with the blend of technological prowess and personal identity Wesley aimed to achieve.

The fabrication of the first Exo, designated for Orion, unfolded like a symphony of science and art. The molecular fabricator, a marvel of engineering, meticulously constructed the Exo layer by layer. Its muscle-like fibers, dark as the void, wove together in a pattern reminiscent of a skin-tight nanosuit, marrying flexibility with strength. Contrasting this, segments of the Exo's limbs gleamed with a pristine white alloy, a testament to the robust protection it offered.

This juxtaposition of materials extended across the Exo's form, with armor plating shielding vital areas while preserving the sleek, humanoid silhouette. The face of the Exo, a masterpiece of design, melded the white alloy with the darker fibers to create a visage that was both striking and functional. The eyes, glowing with a serene blue hue, hinted at the intelligence lurking within, while the lower face, skeletal and metallic, emphasized the Exo's non-human nature.

With the completion of the first Exo, Orion seamlessly integrated his consciousness into this new vessel, experiencing the sensation of a physical form for the first time. The success of this endeavor spurred Wesley to expand his robotic family, crafting two additional Exo's with subtle variations to ensure each possessed its unique identity.

The main difference between the new Exo's, compared to Orion, was their facial features differed. For the first one, right above the eyebrow line, was a slight triangular bulge, creating a more dramatic look to its face. The Exo's eyes were a deep purple hue compared to that of Orion's. While the other had a slit going from above the top lip to its forehead, where you could see the same dark metallic, skeletal frame that constructed the lower face. While the exo's eyes were an orange hue, compared to the other two. 

Thus Wesley needed to create two new AI's for the bodies before him. Thus Orion swiftly created them with the names Thor and Indra, as the new AIs were christened, marking the expansion of Wesley's robotic cadre, each named with a nod to mythological deities symbolizing strength and power.

The creation of the Exos was more than a technical achievement; it was a statement of Wesley's vision for a future where technology and individuality converged. As he prepared for a pivotal meeting with NATO, the fabricator continued its work, producing more Exo's where Orion was constantly creating new subsidiary AI's to merge with their Vessel, all of them getting their own identity. The Exo's then around the Island, clearing Trees, or other resources to use in the Transitioner, to create the uniform material necessary to fabricate an array of other things for Wesley in the future. The Minerva simulation helped greatly in this aspect, the researchers within the simulation had made extreme leaps in various types of weapons, systems, aircrafts, and other technological powers that would soon be used in Wesley's plan for control.

Thus over the next few days, the facility on the Island was full of bust activity preparing for the future to come. Wesley, standing before the fabricator, was pleased with the production of his Exo's. However while the Exo's in and of themselves were living weapons, they still needed ranged weapons and various features to help in Wesley's goals. 'I need to choose some of the weapons from the minerva simulation to give Thor and Indra, those two along Orion will be coming with me. But what to give them…' thinking along these lines, currently within Research city, various weapons such as Ion cannons, Laser rifles, Plasma rifles and other various weapons along those lines have now been made into reality. 'I think for the current situation at hand we will stick with the simple Laser rifles and have them constructed for the Exo's to use. We can make them have a built in-holster alongside their quad to hold the weapons.' Wesley decided with a satisfied grin.

"Orion, start the fabricator, were going to construct a few of the GX-5 blasters." Wesley instructed. 

Without wasting any time, Orion standing next to Wesley, activated the fabricator and within seconds the weapons were constructed. They were small in-size since they would be holstered onto the Exo's body, but they were powerful. They had a robust look to them for their small size where the barrel was made of a similar white alloy to match the Exo's and the rest being a dark metallic design. The weapon resembled a more futuristic glock-40. 'Wow, they look beautiful' Wesley thought while whistling to himself in admiration of such precise design. Shortly after Orion grabbed the blasters and gave them to both Thor and Indra to use as protection for Wesley and for the others. 

While all of this was happening, Liam, Wesley's bodyguard, was having a middle panic attack. 'I new Mr. Barnes was odd and extremely capable… but this.. This is something else' Liam thought as he was overwhelmed with the current developments happening on the Island. He was at first confused upon seeing the Transitioner and Fabricator, but concluded that Wesley must have sent people here in advance to build them. However what shocked Liam the most, was the Exo's. First was Orion who Liam knew of as just the AI that Mr. Barnes would use, but now he was before his very own eyes! This astonishment grew as more and more of them were created, and with the power they held. Liam watched over the next few days as the Exo's began to go up to a tree with nothing but their fist and one-punch it to the ground. Then easily picking it up and breaking it down into smaller pieces to bring into the facility. 'With just these few on this Island, it would take nothing short of a tank to probably inflict damage on these things…' Liam thought sweat forming on his head in the realization to not get on Mr. Barnes' bad side. 'I need a drink..' Liam thought as he sat down along the airstrip, looking out towards the sea in deep thought. Wondering what the future would hold and how the world will be different in the future.
