This has a very specific solution... and it is one of the main landmarks. People won't know where it is, but they will know of it. This is something that could easily be detected from orbit.

Population Boom in Capital.

On 211X.589, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Cybernetic Consciousness began receiving a number of odd radio signals. Initially, it was believed that a sensor glitch, or other technical anomaly had caused the event, however a quick diagnosis revealed that no system failures were present. It was soon determined that the readings were in fact coming from another human faction. Simulations as to the possible identity, composition, and intentions of the faction were immediately commenced, and initial findings suggested that, regardless of the faction, this encounter was unlikely to produce hostilities, given the likely composition of a scouting party. A team of diplomatic functions, military functions, and foreign affairs functions were immediately assembled and dispatched to meet with the incoming humans.

After several days of travel over rocky terrain and fungus, the team finally caught sight of the other faction. Initially, it was suspected that our simulations were erroneous, as the other party was approaching at high speeds in what appeared to be a number of unity rovers. Positions were taken in expectance of a military conflict. As the rovers approached nearer, however, something unexpected, even in our detailed simulations, occurred. The rovers were filled entirely with children. Our functions revealed themselves, and the rovers came to a halt. Upon closer examination, the identity of the other humans was apparent. The rovers were of low-grade steel, and appeared to have many spelling mistakes in the labels... these were Hiverian children.

The children disembarked from their rovers, armed with nervestapellers. The military functions immediately aimed their weapons preparing to fire. At that point, however, the children laid down their nervestapellers, and pleaded for asylum within the Cybernetic Consciousness. Questioning revealed that the children had been sent out from the Hive with the intention of nervestapelling other factions, thus severely damaging their command and control structures. During the journey, however, the children had turned on their oppressive escorts and nervestapelled them into servitude. They then completed their journey into Consciousness territory. Questioning of the adults revealed little useful information... they either were kept uninformed, or else the nervestapellind had destroyed what knowledge they had.

The children, and the few adults, were granted asylum and were allowed to receive implants, allowing them into the Consciousness. The children are young, however within a few years they will be able to become fully functioning members of the Cybernetic Consciousness. Samples of their DNA have been taken, and submitted to Function TK-Gamma for use in his Japanisation experiments.

Changed. I didn't know how much information we should reveal to the "other factions".

Thank you.

Hmmm - my link to the encrypt/decrypt page ( http://peck.cs.uga.edu/~lamothe/encryptor2.html ) is giving me the dreaded 404 message, so the poem is currently lying unappreciated in my in-tray (on top of a cloud?) right now.

[Drogue]

Try http://www.cs.uga.edu/~lamothe/encryptor2.html instead. That works for me

I agree too

[Cedayon]

Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention that my peck account was going down after the may term, that's why I gave the other link as well.

Nice. You know, with Rynn among us, I fail to see the need for our Japanization experiments.
Btw, you weren't banned because of her, were you??

No - it was an innocent photo upload (of RedFred and me) 'cos I couldn't find a way to attach it to a post in the 30 page pics thread (which contains 100 or so photos of other 'Poly members- presumably all banned???????)

I have removed all my uploads and will boycott this feature of the 'Poly board

So you convert a message to ciphertext, then to binary?

I can try to find a more simple and secure method ...I'll let you know if and when i succeed.

[Cedayon]

I don't convert to ciphertext, I just convert to binary and do a few semi-clever twiddles of the binary to make it nastily difficult to decode without the program.

The algorithm could easily be made more simple and secure... shift the letters a bit on the ascii table, take the binary encoding, XOR it with some suitable key, done...

I was just having a bit of fun, it's not a particularly serious attempt at encryption. We don't really use the code on the main forum anymore, they were complaining it was too hard to break
