108: Lifecycle by @gus

"It's a bonkers idea. But it works. I embedded the factory basics into it."
"So you mean that thing is pregnant?"
"Well, in a sense, yes. Before you say anything else, think about the savings, no need to setup a factory. You just feed it the primary ingredients and it does the rest"
"You do realize how easily this can get out of control? They have a short lifecycle and could outnumber us soon"
"Look who is talking nonsense now. Silicon will rule forever"

One day, you stumble upon a secret government project that aims to harness the power of a black hole for its own gain.

107: Habitation dome

The massive habitation dome dominated the terrain. Its white-washed tubular steel frame with hexagonal thermoplastic panels gleamed in the sunlight. Built over a vast geothermal lake, it was the only above-ground structure that generated enough heat to sustain life once the permanent darkness set in. Garrig entered the airlock—a burst of hot, steamy air engulfed him. The smell of moist earth and green plants wafted to his nose.

107: Habitation dome

There were many domes in the system, but this one was special because it was their home!

-What’s that loud noise?
-It’s the first Saturday of the month. They’re testing the alarm system
-No, It’s Wednesday.
-Do you think it’s a real emergency?
-I’ve only ever heard it go off once a month on a Saturday.
The ground shook and rumbled. The concrete of the street cracked open. Heat escaped from a deep hole along with a roar so loud the warning of the klaxon could no longer be heard.

"If I'm not real, but what I think is me is in something like a computer that exists somewhere, doesn't that mean I'm at least sorta real?"

104: Genetically Modified Organism

Inspired by the prompt, an sketch of a walking plant I made a few years ago.

If plants could walk they certainly would walk away from us!

PCI to USB,
IDE to battery,
CPU going to RAM
Also has a little fan.

Copper paths
Going up and down.
Carved deep
By acid baths.

By this verse
You figured out
What I'm
Talking about

If you need
Another hint
Electronics
Is not your thing!

Motherboard

Eyes newly focused
Notice internal crackles
And ponder purpose

The process of generating products with local materials. NASA's Lunar Surface Innovation Initiative will use the Moon’s resources to produce water, fuel, and other supplies to excavate and construct structures on the Moon 🌝

"Ancient"

Behind the veil we pull the strings,
With secret handshakes, signet rings,
And ancient ritual initiation.
The governments of every nation
Have members in their highest ranks.
We own the land, control the banks,
And you can see our influence still
In symbols on the Dollar Bill.

101: Ancient from @gus

The sun is falling over the ancient Parthian palace. The King was impatient.

"I built 5000 jars for you" said King Arsaces "are they coming yet?"

"We followed the drawings from the fallen God, the call was made, the others will come. We don't know when". The Priest didn't look convinced. "It may take them many years"

"Destroy and bury everything, nobody has to know that a God died and that they don't listen to us"

101: Ancient

Perhaps there is a technology that has been lying dormant for centuries. No one knows who built these machines, or for what purpose. But someone has just discovered how to bring them back online...

Our first prompt after changing this to weekly! I'm hoping by only having one prompt posted per week, their will be some more time to sit with an idea before a new one rolls in...

100: Cargo hauler from @gus

"I tell you boy" said the old man, chewing his eternal jerky. "Hauling water was the easiest job. You would let it freeze and shoot the damn 10 ton popsicle all the way to the station"

He paused to take a big sip of his beer "Those times are gone I tell you! Those water corsairs ruined the business for everyone"

The metal face of the bartender didn't change at all, but it said, genuinely interested: "Tell me more grandpa! the next round is on me"

The true long haul!

With this 100th SciFiPrompt, I'm going to change things up. Instead of daily, I'll post a new prompt every Friday!
