Diary of a PDRMN Dreadnought
A PDRMN Dreadnought is capable of simulating 630 minds simultaneously, and because of its construction, each of those minds runs incredibly quickly, perceiving each second as close to a couple minutes. However, the overmind, normally allocated at least 1/3 and typically closer to half or 2/3 of the processing power, can act even faster than that, capable of feeling that every millisecond is ample time to ponder, and that a couple microseconds is a slow reaction time. On this scale, light scarcely has time to leave the ship, and humans appear to be statues. While typical operations can be performed at this level, normally the ship slows itself down to that of a more typical mind, while utilizing its vast processing for other things and sharing with daemons that simultaneously act.
The absolute fastest this mind can run is at x400,000 human speed, where the speed of light is less than 1 km / subjective second. However, this actually dumbs down the mind a little, due to the sacrifice of some systems. As such, it is only used when total mind speed is absolutely nescessary. A far more common speed is what is shown below, x0.0625, is x25,000 faster than human speed, but around half the speed
This is the personal and private diary of the Dreadnought Ma'adim, recording the events of a single minute, from its perspective.
