DEFIANCE EXPANDED - Ark-Brain: Suosparit (Made in MINECRAFT!)
Been working on building the city of My-Vytra in Minecraft and started with the Ark-Brain underground, Suosparit. The original housing still remains around the "crystal" of the Ark-Brain, but it now has a permanent base installed and shielded conduits.
The Ark-Brain tendrils have "grown" to reach inside a special conduit that allows it access to every sensor, camera, and piece of scientific equipment in the city. The Ark-Brain has read-only access to Vytra-Net, the city's internet. Note one of the anti-nanite devices that help keep pesky outside nanites from getting in (and any Ark-Brain nanites from getting out.)
The Ark-Brain can communicate directly through a massive holographic face (that it refuses to make appear any less intimidating) and will provide counsel, information or advice to anyone who enters. Access to her is restricted to only a few. The walls have adjustable compilers and other equipment to allow special functions to be enabled should they be needed. The entire system is cooled by a strange gel that flows through the entire place, created by the Gel-Squid, creatures who oddly contain a lot of Indogene DNA.
I plan on designing the entire city eventually, but if you've ever played survival in Minecraft you know it can take time to gather the things you need.
