Greetings Earthlings
I have come to help save this planet from an extraterrestrial invasion, but due to unforeseen circumstances, have been forced to help you save you from yourselves. My shuttlecraft malfunctioned upon entering your atmosphere: its quantum computer lost coherence and as a consequence the laser-powered ion thrusters overloaded and my communication array rendered inoperable.
Once I had an understanding of your languages and culture, I began to explore your world (in an awkward skinsuit yes, but we work with what we have) and started the process of improving your communal scientific knowledge.
If you are to stand a chance on the galactic stage, it seems we have much work to do.
Whilst there are many avenues of technological advance you are in desperate need of, my dropship's functionality was of course extremely limited at this time. Initial prioritisation of my knowledge dissemination had to align with fixing it.
| Tool | Earthling Capability Expansion | Dropship Function Repair |
|---|---|---|
| Wafer | Parallelized 3D FDTD Schrödinger Equation Solver. | Identify defect sites in quantum computer, restore mainframe functions. |
| Veritas | Tool for continuum relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell simulations. | Simulate laser-matter interactions, optimise ion-based impulse engines after rebuild. |
| Oration | Rocket/Elm self hosted commenting system. | Jury-rig communications route using Earth based interconnect and primitive orbital platforms. |
| spherical-cow | High volume fraction sphere packing library. | None, but don't you just find cows fascinating? I love to study them. How many spheres can you fit inside one? Endless, enthralling possibilities. |
Mmm(ooo). So densely packed.
With my ship back at full capacity, an optimal knowledge dissemination tree was calculated and partitioned. To my dismay, the results suggest climate runaway and biosphere collapse long before the Omicron Persei 8 fleet arrives to sterilize this planet.
The dominant species has no idea how to model the future or decouple their activities from environmental collapse. I must act with haste.
More qubits are needed. Please provide credits.

SelectAscension. I no longer need to wear my skinsuit and punctuate days with mundane 'human' tasks such as 'going to work at Company X from 9–5' and 'buy bread'. Instead, I focus solely on scientific dissemination tasks inside my habitat.
