WI: You are a Weapon, and, you are no longer needed.

(This little scenario was in my head for quite some time, and i had finally time to write it down....)

Ok, lets say, you are a Weapon System in Humanoid Form. Two Alien Empires were locked in a seemingly endless war.

You are the result of a War that waged over thousands of years. With each year, the warring factions came up with new Weapons to kill the enemy.

Countless Generations of Weapon Development later, YOU, are the Crown Jewel of Weapon Development. A self replecating Nanomachine Weapon System, that not only is impossible to defeat in terms of numbers,
but can also control Gravity, Space and Time.

To give you an impression about your capablities and power, try to imagine, the powers and abilities of Haruna from Arpeggio of Blue Steel, Penny Polendina from RWBY, Alita 2.1 from Battle Angel Alita Last Order and of Nono from Diebuster aka Gunbuster 2, all rolled into one Humanoid Form.

You are the "Queen" of the Swarm of Warmachines and your number is Legion. The Warmachines ranging from Humanoid Drones (try to imagine a mix between a Dark Trooper and a MK. X Sentinel from Marvel) to Space based Drones (from small two meter versions up to massive 800 km long ones) capable of blowing up whole Galaxies.

Now, before you came into action, the two sides finally came to ceasefire and after a long series of talkes, they made peace.
As part of the terms of the peace treaty, both sides are required to disarm. This applies not only to conventional weapons, such as fleets, but also to superweapons like you.

A small hint: When you wanted to know how strong your abilities are, you more or less wiped out half a dozen galaxies.

Therefore, it was decided that you are no longer needed. Because of your design, you can't simply be turned off, so you have been programmed with an additional feature that makes it impossible for you to perform your actual function. the additional feature has been woven into your operating system in such a way that it is impossible for you to modify, bypass, or delete it.

You are sent to a distant planet, inhabited by humans. More precisely, the descendants of a crashed generation ship.

After their crash, these people had to start from scratch, and over time they forgot their origins.

The following commands are included in your programming:

1. you will live among these people.
2. you will not reveal what you are.
3. you will act and behave like them.
4. you will respect their culture.
5. you will not interfere directly in the politics of the planet.
6. you will not share your advanced Technology with them.
7, you will not leave the Planet, till they will leave the Planet.

and finally:

Addendum:
You have still your Legion (currently stored in Hyperspace), you may only use them if the life of the Humans in your vincinity are in Danger.

Your "Equipment":

1x Dress
1x Dress for Formal Occasions
1x Working Clothes
1x Swimsuit
1x pair of Lingerie
1x pair of Shoes
1x pair of Working Shoes
1x pair of Sandals
1x Purse (about 10.000 Units of local Currency)
1x Leather Suitcase
1x Strawhat
1x Scarf
1x Monofilament Sword (User can channel Plasma or Electricity into it)
Hi-Powered Quantum Supercomputer located in Real Space and Hyperspace
Degeneracy Generator
Physics Canceller
Nanotechnological Wings: can produce Blades and Throwing Knifes, can also be used for offense and defense. User can use these to fly.
30x Torpedo Tubes (Corrosive warhead torpedo)
108x Photon Cannons
27x Missile Launchers (Lightning missiles)
24x Missile Silos a 16 Launchers (Micro Buster Missiles)
1x Floating Sword Array: An array of weapons that consists of 16 thin, highly maneuverable gun-blade-looking weapons. The blades can be brought together to form a circular ring that is spun to fire a powerful Gravitic Beam that is capable of splitting into many smaller beams. The blades can also form several smaller rings that can also shoot several smaller beams. Can also be used to create smaller ring configurations as thrusters to maneuver around the battlefield. Can also make all of them mini-rifles and shoot individual beams. Stored inside your back.
Multiple High-voltage Discharger
1x Super-Graviton Cannon
Wave-Force Armor
Nanotechnological Armor
Combat Drones: Exact Number is Legion. Ranging from Humanoid Drones and smaller 2 Meter Drones to massive 800 km Drones. Currently deposited in Hyperspace.

Note: Spent Ammunition (for Torpedo and Missiles) can be replenished with food, as well as organic and inorganic substances. Damage and defects are repaired over time by nanomachines.
Weapons are stored in Hammer Space and can be "summoned" as needed.

A word about the World where you will stay.

A Earth like Planet, about 25 % larger then Earth. One single Moon. The only Continent is called Telsis by the locals. There are several smaller island.

About the Area where you will be dropped off:

Since the old times, the Region had been invaded repeatedly by neighbor countries that aimed for its ports and natural resources, sometimes suffering many defeats, and sometimes having even its capital invaded by enemy armies. Because many countries would not survive economically if trading services were to stop in the Region, there were just as many threats from foreign enemies targeting the Nation. If one studied the country's history, they would find it to be mostly recordings of battles against invaders. Due to those experiences, the capital city was surrounded by long and solid double walls, and the proximity of the borders had a frontier with its own military capability as an immediate fighting force, striving to defend the country. Yet, as the regional aristocracy of the border arms and surrounding rural aristocrats became the core of the national defense, domestic voices became stronger, and in contrast, the central royalty weakened. As a result, the current regime was a parliamentary cabinet system centered in the House of Lords, and the royal family, too, was converted into an aristocracy. However, as the previous Great War had been a large-scale one involving the whole continent, it was difficult for the aristocratic army of until that time to respond, so as national forces that had been assembled in a hurry became active, the right for the masses to participate in the government went under consideration. At the same time, women's social advancement arose rapidly, allowing them to serve in the Military as well as the right to work and vote. After the war, one of the careers that women who had gone through social advancement looked up to was Autonomous Correspondence Assistant.

Abhout it´s Technology:

Technology-wise, the Civilisation is around 1918. Radio, Electricity, Lighter-then-Air-Travel, Heavier-then-Air-Travel, Railroads, Cars, Motorcycles, adv. Prosthesis are known and in use.
Due to cultural norms, technological Development takes about 4 times as long as on Earth. In addition to the products from the South, railways were actively developed to transport natural resources such as iron, copper, and coal abundantly extracted in the countryside, which expanded to neighboring nations. Positively pursuing the industrialization by taking advantage of such resources, in addition to building a railroad network, modern army and naval forces were consolidated.

Military:

Due to many continuous conflicts, sharpening the Nations defenses became a necessity. They would flexibly incorporate the Cultures and Weapons of other Countries earned through trading and make use of them while incessantly improving them. Those experiences turned the Nation into a Military Power renowned throughout the entire Continent, known as such even by Citizens of other Countries. Military Equipment are the same as of German Empire Imperial Army in WW1.

Now assuming you wake up on that World, what will you do from here on ??

Somewhere in the dark deep, on a lone planet, Reaper builds a mass extractor . . .

Unfortunately for you....

1. You are not on a lone Planet, this Planet is inhabited by Humans.
2. You are unfortunately not a Reaper.
3. and you don´t need a Mass Extractor.

Back to the Scenario, what do you gonna do ??
 
Sounds like, what was the name of the anime...


A yes an Ifurita type weapons platform from El Hazzard

Or to be more modern a Belkan KAISER type :p

Ok first, the Belkan Kaiser type picture is broken.
As for the ifurita type, you are far, far, far, far stronger then her.
As already mentioned, you are strong enough to end a half a dozend Galaxies.
That should give you an idea how strong you are.
 
Eh given the setting being able to crush a planet or half a dozen galaxies is one and the same from a point onwards, so I imagine her as Super-woman although the Silver Age variety, the huff, puff and blow up a galaxy one :p

Anyway I don't see any reason for her? not to do as the Ifurita unit and try to find happiness in whatever form she can.

Find a significant other or others, a job, one or half a dozen hobbies...

None said you have to be a weapon of war, especially when they disabled you. So... Have fun, live the life, become attached. After all if you need to defend a family or others you simply have to interpose yourself and the moment someone attacks you, you go Venom lethal modo ;p

And wich Job or Hobbies would you take ??
Remember, we are talking about a society, similar to the United States of WW1.

*Shrug*

A teacher?

Just for the entertainment value, to scar the kids and laugh at the nonsense I teach.

As for hobbies?

Maybe an proto Amelia Erhart get a few world records under the belt flying with triplanes

Very interesting choice....
To get you license, you still have to attend school and university, etc...

As for the triplanes, those were used before the Great War, but are now replaced by biplanes similar to Fokker or AEG.
Long distance travel is done by train since all Nations are connected.
 
I am war made manifest. I have crushed galaxies and walked as a god protecting and serving my creators and my thanks for my efforts is this hell? Trapped alone on some throwback world living among savages who still think coal is a great energy source? Though it takes a million years i will be free. I cant share my technology but that does not mean i cant create my own or cant nudge them forward faster. I dont need them to survive past getting a faster than light ship then i can bolt. Nothing says i have to defend them either...

1. You have still all your powers (more of less, depending on how you see it)
2. You can see and guide a young civilisation, if you do it right.
3. Your legion of Drones can keep you company.
4. You have still access to the Galactic Version of the Internet.

1. I am hard coded such that i cant use my powers outside of some specific circumstances and I cant get them back till at least get these people of world the slow way.
2. I dont want to guide a young race. I want to explore or maybe terraform worlds and star systems.
3. Small mercy and hopefully at least a few are sentient.
4.And I might cut that off because it could be a vector for my creators to load more fuck you patches.

I assume this is some Humanizing attempt by forcing me to interact with people at close range for very extended periods but apparently asking the sapient weapon what it wants to do with the war over is to much to ask. Do they expect me to fall in love with a native or some stupid crap? I will push this race forward until they reach the stars then leave and my creators can fuck themselves.

3. Yes there are several Lt. of your army who are sentient.
4. This way they give you new updates....

Your assumption is correct. You are as Human as possible
And yes, you are able to fall in love. The latest Patch enables you to do it.

Ah good people i can actually talk to and befriend. And I am being literal here. I am so different from the natives that interacting with them will involve putting on and keeping up a mask. I will have to craft a entire persona to hide behind and never able to reveal myself. What a great way to "integrate" with the natives. I cant tell them who i am and have to try to fit in while not effecting politics directly which vastly limits my options and makes any relationships i have at least partially based on lies. And given their latest updates was functionally malware they should not be surprised i cut them off.

Thats just hilarious. Force a super weapon that has smashed galaxies to use a full on Human emulation with no warning or preparation apparently and exile them on a world so low tech they might as well be cavemen and cant even talk to any of them because the hard rules means I cant actually be myself. My first act would be spend a few days just building up a backstory and some kind of paper trail and then probable using male drones to slowly buy up property and businesses printing my own money or selling gold or something i have my drone mine and use those to act as a spring board for a industrial/scientific revolution showing them evolutions of their current tech and pushing R&D until they are advancing fast to stay ahead of their neighbors. From there just see to it they survive and keep growing pushing till they end up absorbing the other powers or at least get to the point it is not worth a war and then push into space using their moon and colonizing it as a springboard and from there ftl.

And then i leave and when my creators come talking to the new guys and ask where i am i will be several galaxies away hopefully.

Creating a persona would be the first thing i would do to blend.
Based on your extensive knowledge, you could fake a history where no-one can see behind your fake identity/history.

The processing power to emulate a "Human" is abysmal low for you.

See above...
Thankfully, this civilisation is already "Adult" enough, to see Woman as equal to men, especially after the end of their great war.
That would be one of many options you could approach. You could, for example, attend school, in wich you could be discovered as a prodigy for science and math. This way you could enter the scientific community of this world.
Wich would be a neccessary step to achieve "your" goal. The current generation of this planet has no problems in accepting Woman as Scientist or Scholars. Only some of the older generation think of the old ways.

Which is not the problem so much as I have to pretend to be human when i am actually not and i cant even talk about it. I assume this is actually going to be rather traumatizing and i cant even get proper therapy or talk about it because no one around me can understand even if i was not gagged and i cant talk to my creators because now they are a enemy.

Well thing is i am a guy so would switch to a male form soon as i could anyway but that is a useful path forward. At least for my first life. Spend a few decades "researching" for them useful tech for their level and build a cadre of actual researchers then fake my death and switch to a back up identity probable a reclusive investor with money and go from there. I will probable need to switch id's several times and prep them while I can and they are easy seeding my lesser drones in if i can as workers in the local bureaucracy so to more easily slip through. A fun period will be between enough unity you cant just claim to be from bumfuck nowhere and wide adaption of computer everything i can hack at will.
