He sighed. "No, it will not be a box, more an ovaloid, and only for a short time. After it lands or impacts the water, hopefully in a shallow area so it has parts above water, it is going to unfold."<br/><br/>The illusion showed the ship on the water, about half buried in it, and the metal that made up its hull began rippling and flowing as its internal nanobots began harvesting the hull for supplies and materials needed for the next phase. "It will take it about a month to fully break down the twenty five billion metric tonnes of material contained with it, not counting the parts where the AI houses itself, and the required factories, power plants, capacitors, cloning facilities, drone housing, the surviving security ship, and any other pieces of itself it might require for later use."<br/><br/>It showed a small moonlet of metal, nearly a full mile in diameter, with the much smaller custom frigate that would remain in low orbit to provide a larger sensor net to keep the AI informed as to what was nearby. "Once that month is up, it will begin converting the raw materials and power into a fairly large sized mountain, or series of mountains, or a flat plain, or whatever the hell you might think is the best shape for permanent housing."<br/><br/>The illusion showed a mountain rising out of the ocean, which turned into several mountains, a couple mountains with several smaller ones around it, a flat grassland with a ring of mountains around it, and finally into a massive penis statue that touched the shield above and spewed lava from the tip. "That will probably take a couple months to start even appearing somewhat finished, though it can focus on one spot to make some livable area and build out from there, though the deeper the starting location, the longer it will take to build up enough to break the ocean surface. Since it will have a metal core, it can be far larger than most mountains of equal mass, though I would strongly suggest NOT digging around too much without first letting the AI know. Once THAT is done enough to make some livable land, it will start cloning and releasing prey animals onto the area, assisting in relieving the need to hunt for meet, though I would advise assisting if it starts asking for seeds or animal bodies. It will use those as baselines for making more."<br/><br/>The illusion showed a couple fairly tall mountains flanking a desert, with a grassland and jungle on opposite sides, and several beaches, taking up an area about ten miles across and soaring a mile high. "So, still think I am going to get resistance? Or should I try to divert it and keep it in space? Oh, and each sentient being will likely get a drone to assist with chores and living issues, though the AI will reserve the right to have the drone kick the dragon and permanently leave if they start getting arrogant and annoying.<br/><br/>And before you ask, you will be trading some basic work, genetic samples to start, and waste to provide power, though if you feel the AI is being unreasonable, I will come back here with a tazer and shock it back to sensibility."
