The Valiant Project was a multi-university research and development program to advance human/computer interactions. Blending disciplines from behavior-based robotics and early childhood development the project aimed to produce, high functioning machines capable of judgement in uncertainty, or System One thinking.


As the project matured, the ‘students’ as they were called spent more and more time interacting with children comparable to their mental capacity. At both the University of Edinburgh and Yonsei University, the children were often visitors from nearby children's homes.

While the ‘students’ at Texas A&M interacted almost exclusively with Aggies, all the programs eventually earned the nickname of Orphanage.

The first machines produced from the program were placed in high-risk environments demanding quick decision-making.

A Valiant Commander, Singleton is a relic from Humanity’s warring past, escorting Lucy Tak's expedition to appease concerns back on Earth. When unanticipated threats emerge, Singleton proves to be Lucy’s most trusted advisor on the battlefield.

Singleton is one of the earliest graduates of the Valiant Program, a program dedicated to creating high-functioning machines capable of making quick judgment in uncertain situations. Instantiated in the late 21st Century, Singleton served as a soldier for two centuries before being decommissioned for a third. Singleton continues to compile his one line of code.

Including Singleton, the other Valiants served in four classes:

• Paladins (marines/soldiers)
  
• Cavaliers (pilots)
  
• Dragonslayers (firefighters)
  
• Corsairs (deep divers)

All were considered Valiants. Inscribed on their forearm is a single line of code:

“That others may live.”

In Grey Goo, Catalyst is the essential building block to rapidly build and expand your armies across the battlefield. When you begin a match, you will find at least one or two Catalyst vents nearby your starting location. Build a refinery and then an extractor to harvest this valuable material!

Catalyst is naturally occurring solution comprised of various ultrahard fullerenes dissolved in hydrocarbons. It is a highly contested resource in nanoengineering and material fabrication for all factions in Grey Goo. While undesirably volatile, especially when a full transport is under attack, it offers significant build-time advantages during production. Liquid, aromatic Catalyst is noted for its dark blue color, and sometimes referred to as Indigo.

ETINITE

Etinite the common term for the source stone of Catalyst; natural formations of fossilized carbon remains of ancient precambrianistic cellular life. The resultant ultrahard fullerene is the supreme fabstock in molecular technology. While it occurs in various states, it earned the name Etinite from its symmetric molecular structure of its hardened mineral state.

THE BREATH

Carbon Disulfide (CS2) with other alkene hydrocarbons released from subterranean chambers act as a solvent on the bedrock producing reservoirs of Catalyst.


https://static.greybox.com/static/media/uploads/grey_goo/lore/catalyst_page02.jpg

Catalyst, the chief building block for molecular engineering is extremely prized, and extremely rare. Emitted from fossilized carbon, it is only found in regions that have (or have had) life. And life in the Galaxy is extremely rare.

Even where life is thriving, Catalyst is very scarce. For example, it does not occur naturally on Earth, but traces have been found on Jupiter’s moon Europa.

“The Beta arrived to Ecosystem Nine on their last leg. Believing their race and homeworld to be exterminated, the surviving Beta forfeited their sole spaceship, the Sturas, to the surface of Nine. Here they found safe harbor and proceeded to rebuild their culture. For the past 50 years, they have been collecting Catalyst and other resources from Nine in order to build a new ship and return to their rightful place in the stars.”

Within the Grey Goo universe lies keyholes that bridge vast distances in space and time. Keyholes are essential for establishing interstellar communication infrastructure and gathering data towards locating super-wormholes.

With no ability to interact or observe the other side of these keyholes, nanoengineers at the University of Manchester created a swarm intelligent system called the Pathfinder (Goo), its prime directive: Explore, Gather, Report. The Pathfinder was instrumental in tracing routes to The Eight, which are eight discovered habitable exoplanets in the Galaxy.

The first discovered wormholes were no bigger than a pea, earning the name keyholes. The von Neumann style Pathfinder system provides mass transfer between keyholes too small for humans or machinery to pass through.

There are three stages of use when first accessing a newly discovered keyhole:

https://static.greybox.com/static/media/uploads/grey_goo/lore/goo_traceroute_1080p.jpg

Stage 1 - Entry: A relay node is immediately constructed around the keyhole. The Goo are then directed toward the keyhole, where they enter and begin to traverse the full length.

Stage 2 - Transfer: The Goo are now completely within the keyhole and with pinpoint precision, map the keyholes traceroute and determine how useful the keyhole may be for repeated trips.

Stage 3 - Exit: The Goo successfully exit the keyhole and construct a relay station, sending back a continual stream of information about the coordinates and distance of the keyholes exit location.

The zettabytes of data gathered by the Pathfinder and delivered to the Stronghold fed the calculation of the Grand Model. Calculated by the massive analytic machine, MUM, the Grand Model served as the ultimate map of the Galaxy for Human exploration. When MUM deemed the Grand Model 'complete', and after generations of enduring the wars and disasters that came with expansion and competition of resources, Humanity's best response was to stop exploring and end the wars. Humanity halted the incoming data from the Pathfinder, and committed their focus to refining their society.


Humanity changed its directive, but the Pathfinder did not. With no guidance from Earth, the Pathfinder began to self-organize continuing on its directive of Explore, Gather, Report. Without the ability to verify its reports with Earth, the Pathfinder evolved storage capabilities. Turning itself into a parity drive the Pathfinder now had a memory and an evolving concept of time. It could now make plans…
