Chapter 508 Specialised AGIs Idea
The both of them walked into the Base’s command centre.
The space was wide and silent, built with clean white surfaces that stretched in smooth lines from the floor to the ceiling. Soft light filled the area without any visible source, making everything clear without strain.
At the center of the room was the main control platform, slightly raised, with the primary seat positioned to face a massive invisible display that only appeared when called.
Liam walked up the short steps and sat on the main seat without hesitation. Lucy followed and sat on a secondary chair to his right, close enough for direct interaction.
He looked at her for a moment before speaking. “You’re overworked. I want to fix that.”
“I don’t mind it,” Lucy said. “The load is significant but nothing I can’t manage.”
“I know you can manage it. That’s not the point.” He leaned forward slightly. “I created you to be my personal assistant. That was the intention, for you to stay close, help me with what I need, be present for the things that matter. Then I asked you to build the Lucid games. Then more Lucid units. Then the industrial base came together and everything started compounding. Now you’re running construction on the Emperor Class-II, retrofitting the Voyager’s FTL drive, building Matt’s shuttle, managing Lucid’s backend, overseeing the ongoing sections of this base. And we just finished talking about a command base on Ganymede that would dwarf everything you’ve already built.” He paused. “I don’t doubt your capability. Not for a second. But I’m not going to keep letting this pile up.”
Lucy was quiet for a moment. She knew he was right. She had never complained and had never wanted to. Building things, watching them become real, watching Liam’s expression when something exceeded what he’d imagined had always made the volume feel worthwhile.
But she was honest with herself, and honesty meant acknowledging that the trajectory wasn’t sustainable. She could absorb the present load. She could probably absorb double it. But the work would keep growing, and even a system running at perfect efficiency had to protect that efficiency or eventually lose it.
“What are you thinking?” she asked.
“Specialised AGIs. Each one would handle a defined sector but you oversee all of them. The work gets distributed, the quality stays consistent, and you get back to what you were supposed to be — close to me, not buried under everything else.”
Lucy nodded. “It’s the right call. How do you want to divide the sectors?”
“We prioritise Medical first. The trial starts in less than two months and I want a dedicated AGI running that sector before the staff boards a shuttle. Staff coordination, volunteer logistics, monitoring data during the trial, post-trial follow-up — that’s too much to leave sitting on top of everything else you’re already managing.”
“Agreed,” Lucy said. “And we’ll need synths alongside it. Not just the AGI.”
“Synths?” Liam asked in surprise.
“Yes. For security. The base is about to have a hundred volunteers, seventy-nine observer delegations, and thirty-six recruited staff inside it simultaneously. People will have thoughts, and some of those thoughts will involve trying to access things they’ve agreed not to access. Human security staff are unreliable at that boundary but synths aren’t.” She paused. “Security and Defense should have its own AGI. Synth deployment falls under it.”
Liam nodded. He’d been thinking about the trial’s medical architecture and had let the security question sit longer than it should have.
“If I’m offloading construction,” Lucy continued, “an AGI would be needed for Infrastructure and Construction. The Emperor Class-II alone will require continuous oversight for weeks. The Ganymede base will require months. That can’t stay with me.”
“Another will be needed for Logistics and Operations,” Liam added. “Separate from construction. It will handle scheduling, resource flow, transport coordination, base supply chain.”
“One is also needed for Research and Development,” Lucy said.
She said it evenly. Liam caught the slight shift in her voice anyway. Research and development was the part of her work she had always loved most. Not because of the results, though the results were consistently extraordinary, but because it was the part that didn’t exist before she touched it. Manufacturing runs and construction timelines were execution. R&D was creation.
“Like I said, you will oversee it,” he said. “You shape the direction and the AGI runs the processes.”
Lucy looked at him for a moment. Then she nodded.
“That totals five AGIs but we need two more,” she said. “A civilian-facing AGI. Multipurpose in design but essential when the space tourism operation goes live — booking, communication, passenger experience, all of it. Civilian operations need a different kind of attention than infrastructure.”
“And Lucid needs its own system entirely. The ecosystem is already too large and too fast-moving to be a sub-function of anything else. Games, devices, creator tools, Studio, future products — that’s a full-time operation at a scale that will keep growing.”
With everything outlined, they would need seven AGIs. Medical. Security and Defense. Infrastructure and Construction. Logistics and Operations. Research and Development. Civilian Operations. Lucid Ecosystem. Clean divisions, clear responsibilities, with Lucy’s oversight layer holding everything together.
It would be a starting point and not a ceiling, as more would definitely be needed in the future.
Liam looked at Lucy. “Bring up your main system. I’ll start building them now. While I work, compile and categorise the knowledge and data each AGI will need for training.”
“Already preparing it,” Lucy said.
The command center responded immediately. A large holographic screen unfurled in front of him, wide and high, its surface a clean dark interface waiting for input. Smaller screens appeared to either side. The ambient light shifted as the displays came fully live.
Liam reached for his Lucid and put it on. The interface sharpened through it, becoming something he could work with directly through thought and gesture. He reached out and began writing the first lines of code, the Medical AGI’s architecture taking shape in structured layers across the screen.
Unlike when he had created Lucy — slow, careful work done from almost nothing — this was different. He understood what he was building now. The foundation was already there in how Lucy had been made, and in the data she had gathered over her months of operation. With that foundation, the specialised AGIs would be built faster.
“Help with the applications while I work,” he said without looking up. “Volunteer selection and staff recruitment. Review what’s come in and start building the shortlist framework for both pools. And monitor the airport confirmations — log every response and flag anything that isn’t standard.”
The command center settled into a working rhythm. Liam’s hands moved across the holographic interface, code accumulating in clean structured lines as the first AGI began to take shape.
Lucy worked in parallel beside him, processing the applications.
Outside, drones moved in and out of the assembly area. The Emperor Class-II skeleton turned slowly against the black, catching sunlight on its structural beams.
Guys, I would love ideas for names for the seven coming AGIs.
