2. 0:32when solers 5 was first discovered the
3. 0:35following truth became clear to Every
4. 0:38Nation control the planet control the
5. 0:43world the only nations with the means to
6. 0:46Aspire to such Conquest were the two
7. 0:48biggest superpowers of the time the
8. 0:51Continental Alliance and the
9. 0:55[Music]
10. 0:58Coalition then on go were clear race
11. 1:01there and establish arbitrary Frontiers
12. 1:03around the most valuable oil fields
13. 1:06before the adversary
14. 1:12does it became quickly transparent to
15. 1:14the alliance that the near total
16. 1:16automation of the industrial complex was
17. 1:19the only way to expand quicker than the
18. 1:21Coalition this endeavor was coined the
19. 1:23industrial Renaissance initiative it
20. 1:25answered both the logistical nightmare
21. 1:27of having to send sufficient Manpower so
22. 1:29far from Earth Earth and while ensuring
23. 1:31a rapid
24. 1:33expansion by the year 2132 and number
25. 1:36notes to the Coalition the alliance's
26. 1:38engineers started to push the boundaries
27. 1:40of what was deemed possible and in the
28. 1:43process we defined a whole industry
29. 1:46eventually feeling the pressure the
30. 1:48Coalition followed on the same path
31. 1:50driven solely by the desire to outpace
32. 1:53their rival both superpowers Unleashed
33. 1:56uncontrolled automation leading to
34. 1:58unforeseen absurd situation a s some
35. 2:00with catastrophic
36. 2:15consequences in April 2137 a continental
37. 2:18Alliance eager to expand their factories
38. 2:21deployed a groundbreaking system called
39. 2:23automated longrange landscape leveling
40. 2:25this technology entirely developed and
41. 2:27managed by the central automated system
42. 2:30consisted in high-intensity photo beams
43. 2:32precisely carving day and night to
44. 2:34reshape the landscape at a rapid rate
45. 2:38consequently Coalition tried to catch up
46. 2:40on the Continental alliances leding to a
47. 2:43similar technology only much more PR to
48. 2:49[Music]
49. 2:56failure we are proud of our negligible
50. 2:58failure rate and our constant L working
51. 3:00and reducing it even more to make it
52. 3:02safer for our teams on the ground but we
53. 3:05must trust the system we must have faith
54. 3:07in
55. 3:20it but the most efficient the
56. 3:23most destructive method was used for
57. 3:26deep resource extraction by the end of
58. 3:282136 nuclear fracking was considered the
59. 3:31most efficient
60. 3:32way to facilitate deep resource
61. 3:43extraction there was no way to predict
62. 3:46what a smarter system would
63. 3:48do we simply did not recognize that as a
64. 3:50possible path to accomplish our goal but
65. 3:53the system
66. 3:54did salers 5 is far removed from earth
67. 3:58and its ethical concerns
68. 4:00would you expect the same rules to apply
69. 4:01on a planet devoid of any conscious
70. 4:03animals you approach questions of
71. 4:05ecology or overproduction there does it
72. 4:07even make sense to ask these
73. 4:13questions 200 years ago we created a
74. 4:15weapon powerful enough to annihilate
75. 4:17mankind 200 years later we gave this
76. 4:20power to a Goddamn machine
77. 4:27[Music]
78. 4:31by October
79. 4:332137 the overproduction of oil rigs
80. 4:36driven by a fragile automated system
81. 4:38triggered a massive surge in oil
82. 4:41extraction this placed an immense strain
83. 4:43on the end of the supply chain causing
84. 4:46Havoc throughout the entire
85. 4:48system both the Coalition and the
86. 4:50alliance found themselves exposed to
87. 4:51unseen vulnerabilities as their
88. 4:53infrastructure is buled under the
89. 4:55pressure
90. 4:56[Music]
91. 5:05to be honest a complete reset of the
92. 5:07system might have been the right thing
93. 5:09to do at this
94. 5:11point but we were never prepared to back
95. 5:14down we wouldn't allow it so we put our
96. 5:18faith in our own
97. 5:21[Music]
98. 5:27creation by March 2140 automated
99. 5:30warships were patrolling the same part
100. 5:32of the sky above contested territories
101. 5:35where fracking bombs would be constantly
102. 5:41detonated two fragile automated systems
103. 5:43competing against each other with the
104. 5:45same
105. 5:46goals a man-made creation upon which men
106. 5:49had no more
107. 5:51control ready to fall like a house of
108. 5:53cat
109. 6:00[Music]
110. 6:09[Music]
111. 6:18the 13th of October 2140 what should
112. 6:21have been another controlled nuclear
113. 6:22detonation by the
114. 6:28Alli led to the collateral destruction
115. 6:30of 11 oil rigs including seven rigs from
116. 6:33the
117. 6:34Coalition as a result coalition's
118. 6:37automated defense system activated
119. 6:39causing their nearest Cruiser to open
120. 6:41fire on the nearest Alliance
121. 6:45ship conflict almost instantaneously
122. 6:48reached a planet wide scale methodical
123. 6:51War fought by metal
124. 6:56Titans and witnessed
125. 6:59by the powerless men and women belind
126. 7:02architects of their own
127. 7:04[Applause]
128. 7:12fate we know the oil fields kept burning
129. 7:15for months turning days into night this
130. 7:18oil so coveted and indispensable for our
131. 7:21survival wasted in our effort of
132. 7:24annihilating one another wasted by the
133. 7:26entities we created no longer in our
134. 7:29control
135. 7:30following our guidelines to an absurd
136. 7:32extreme

140. 8:07[Music]
141. 8:14this oil eating fungi caused the loss of
142. 8:1730% of all oil
143. 8:20tanks eventually the system adjusted
144. 8:22itself and started to flood the
145. 8:24contaminated tanks with anti-fungi
146. 8:26product by
147. 8:282148 80% of the oil present on the
148. 8:31planet was either contaminated or
149. 8:33consumed while the system was supposed
150. 8:35to harvest
151. 8:36[Music]
152. 8:39it how do you reconcile this feeling
153. 8:42with the need for mankind to expand to
154. 8:44progress Solstice 5 could be an answer
155. 8:48could we save our planet by exploiting
156. 8:50another do we have a responsibility over
157. 8:53the worlds we discover are we bond to
158. 8:56just take and transform entire worlds to
159. 8:58our will
