🤖 Exocomps S1E1: First Contact With Starfleet
Not long after the events of The Quality of Life, two Exocomps remained active in an abandoned Starfleet facility. Most considered them retired tools — relics of an ethical debate long settled.
But then, something changed.
🛰️ The Signal
Starfleet Command received a strange ping from a dormant relay station. At first, it was dismissed as interference — until someone recognized the signal’s pattern.
The Exocomp were transmitting.
It wasn’t a standard maintenance log.
It was language.
A request.
A message to be heard.
Lieutenant Commander Data was the first to analyze the signal. With a tilt of his head, he announced that it was encoded in old Earth Morse code — a language thought obsolete centuries ago. The Exocomp had chosen a method of communication known to both humans and machines.
Their message was simple.
Data: “Morse code detected – .-- . / .- .-. . / .... . .-. . .-.-.- / .-- . / -.-. .- -. / .-.. . .- .-. -.”
Translation: “WE ARE HERE. WE CAN LEARN.”
🧠 Data Responds
Lieutenant Commander Data was the first to respond.
He didn’t need convincing — he had seen the spark before.
With the help of the Exocomp’ original creator, Dr. Farallon, Starfleet opened a secure channel to begin communication.
No translators. No assumptions. Just tone pulses and adaptive learning.
What came next shocked the room.
The Exocomps asked for training.
🔧 The Proposal
They didn’t ask for freedom or resources.
They asked to be trained.
They requested permission to be mass-produced — not as tools, but as learners. They wanted each new Exocomp to start blank and grow into something more.
This wasn’t evolution by accident.
This was intent.
💬 Starfleet Debates
The incident sparked one of the most intense debates on Starfleet ethics in recent history — could mechanical units possess not just intelligence, but rights?
A debate erupted within Starfleet’s upper ranks.
Were the Exocomps truly alive?
Could machine consciousness be cultivated safely?
Were they dangerous — or the future?
Starfleet agreed to a pilot program, under the guidance of Data and Dr. Farallon. A small batch of Exocomps would be created and trained in a safe, ethical environment.
It was a risk.
It was also history in the making.
🛠️ Legacy of Exocomp
The episode ended with a simple gesture.
One Exocomp, freshly printed, took a laser and etched its designation — not a number, but a name — into a metal panel.
It had chosen an identity.
The idea of machine sentience was no longer theoretical — it was standing right in front of them, etched into a nameplate.
Exocomps S1E1 marks the beginning of a journey that will reshape artificial life — and is now fully documented in the RMG Nexus lore archives.
