Story So Far
From NetninjaBeeWiki
All discussions on this page have been moved to Talk:Story_So_Far. At this stage, this summary is speculation, albeit with some evidence.
[edit]Summary
A military spacecraft1 from the Halo universe has crashed2 on Earth. All the crew are apparently dead3. The AI controlling the craft, called the Operator4 and informally known as Melissa, is being repaired by an autonomous AI task5 which it calls a spider6. It doesn´t find the experience very pleasant7. The Operator was very badly damaged and spent a while in delirium, not knowing where it is8.
In the initial stage, the Operator apparently managed to connect itself to a computer in the Bay Area. It then took over a beekeeping website9, http://ilovebees.com. The owner of the website is Margaret_Efendi, although it seems that the maintainer of the website now is Margaret´s niece, Dana_Awbrey. The Operator is trying to signal10 to any survivors from the crew on the planet11, but it´s worried that its enemies will find it12.
Dana tries to fix the website, accidentally erasing sections of memory that the Operator has hidden there away from the spider 13. The Operator seeks revenge on Dana, calling her " the Assassin", but doesn´t seem able to get revenge yet14. It does, however, manage to get pictures of her via the webcam on her computer15. Understandably scared, Dana decides she´s had enough of trying to deal with all this16.
While the spider is fixing the Operator, it´s causing random dumps from its memory onto the website17. This includes snippets of conversation from its military crew18. It seems that at some point, the ship was on the way to its HQ19 to warn them that the enemy was going to glass20 a planet called Troy21.
The AI´s next move is to try to distribute itself over a wider group of computers22.

" Just remembered something important: The Operator. That was my nickname. That´s what the rest of the crew called me when they didn´t call me... whatever my name was." Mayday_Text#The_Operator
It´s unclear whether the Spider is a " virtual robot" or an actual physical robot. Either way, it seems the interaction of the Spider is simply to repair the Operator, nothing else.
" Gap in the clouds: head suddenly much clearer. The spider is working on me. I must be in very bad shape. " Mayday_Text#Working_on_me

See Dana´s blog, hotmail hack, etc. It´s a little unclear whether the Operator is a single " mind" or several minds. The_Sleeping_Princess, for example, may be a semi-separate AI entity.

Hacker? Traitor? Fifth columnist ( no that´s ridiculous). Just in over her head? No. The Spider warning´s been deployed. She had every warning that a classified medium was under repair. She just kept purging. Too bad for her. Checking the wiring. There´s a lot of ways to skin a - can´t even get to her stupid HOUSE through the stupid BOX: no central thermo controls, no slaved AI, nothing." Phase2Conversation
" Quick quick quick quick - parse this protocol and find some kind of eyeball out. Sister you just made a mistake because this is my *meat* this is what I do and you are - GOT IT. I´m not asleep this time, sweetheart. Holding the eyeball gently but firmly in your right hand, say the magic words and: SURPRISE! Look up and smile, honey. Bang! Bang! Bang! Got the drop on you that time, sweetheart. Opening shot of my search and destroy. I´m going to know everything about you." Phase2Conversation Also see the killer.jpg pictures.

" 1st Lt Sorenson: We have to drop the mission. We have to bug out of here right now and get word back to HQ. An evac on this scale they need every second." Phase2Conversation
" 1st Lt Sorenson: Not even Standish would let them glass a planet if he knew it was coming" Phase2Conversation
" If we bug out and scramble home to warn HQ about Troy, people like Standish will say we´ve already compromised a huge tactical advantage" Phase2Conversation Note that we don´t necessarily know that this was the mission the ship was on before it arrived on Earth, that is just speculation.

TODO: The_Operator seems to be surprised to discover a sign of The_Pious_Flea ( another AI?). What is The_Pious_Flea, and how does The_Pious_Flea relate to the story? Is it just another delirium artifact?
TODO: we don´t have enough information about The_Sleeping_Princess yet to work that into the story.
