Conquest

Integrity is something typically a trait reserved for those attempting to be as noble and good as they can in nearly all circumstances. It is also, however, considered to be moreso a trait of the living than something one would associate with say, a machine. There is the caveat of artificial intelligence giving the philosphical discussions surrounding the nature of good and evil, and if something engineered could ever grasp such concepts and apply them with sincere understanding and comprehension. Can a machine's cold logic be warmed with empathy and doing what is subjectively right?

Thousands of years in the future from Human perspective, this isn't really an issue any longer. Not only has artificial intelligence advanced to such a significant degree that it is indistinguishable from a Human mind even to a psychic, but well... Humanity barely exists anymore. So who cares what they think on the nature of robotic emotions? Well, the robots care. Even this far advanced from the reaches of what Human civilization had achieved in its hayday, a now galactic organization called the Shimmer Syndicate carries on the spirit and legacy of Humankind. This organization is primarily composed of reminants and descendant mecha from those ancient ancestors that were created by the Humans. Now far more advanced and capable than their creators could have ever dreamed, they strive for a tranquility and peace in their involvement to the galactic schemes.

That said, not all races of beings get along. Consortiums, empires, and massive companies will often vie for power and oppurtunity for control or money, and while not of concerns to the Shimmer Syndicate's populace per se, still leaves them in the occasional need to defend themselves in space, on planet, or through digitial means. Cue the Conquest line of mecha created explicitly for this purpsoe.

In this particular case, Conquest YT-1192, a prototype of sorts by conjoining the technology of not only the Syndicate's incredible designs but that of many allies of other races and corporations. Intended more as a 'proof of concept' than anything, 'Connie' was still a subject of much debate, apprehension, and even fear by other oganizations and galactic entities. A single mecha that could warp matter, bend space, and even theoretically augment time itself in conjunction with it's more conventianal weaponry capable of allowing Connie to be able to hold her own against significant fleets or pantheons.

To combat the worry and concern, Connie willingly volunteered to be re-programmed with protocols and limiting subroutines that denied her the ability to formulate her own decision on certain subjects and circumstances. That said, it didn't really keep her from also being the product of industrial/corporate espionage. Chiefly, in that the moment she was reactivated.. She time hopped randomly backwards in time against both her will and that of the Syndicate.

Somehow, they figured that putting one of the most advanced living machines from the year 8,437 into the far distant past was a good idea. Technically it puts her out of everyone's reach as she is lacking authority to time hop back... But what exactly is a mecha supposed to do beyond wait for the passage of time?
