The fleeters had worked themselves into a predicament.
The Brain Trust, their unique and experimental organic AI core array, was starting to transform into a liability.
Due to the unexpected new variables that had come into play, the precious brains taken from a large variety of fleeter officers spontaneously began to spawn new and fractured intelligences.
If this took place back in the old galaxy and during the Age of Mechs, the researchers working for the Common Fleet Alliance would have celebrated this occasion with great enthusiasm.
This was because their dream was coming true!
Even if the Brain Trust as a whole was not designed to accommodate multiple different personalities at once, the fact that just one of these brains-in-a-vat had spawned something akin to an 'artificial intelligence' represented a massive breakthrough in their ambition to develop true sentient AIs!
