A situation developing on the lunar surface wasn't a major concern for the Players.
However, once the master AI terminal focused all its processing power on the home planet, the Players lost most of their capacity for information gathering.
After all, any Octopus whose behavior became inconsistent would be the first to die in a world blanketed by AI surveillance.
Thus, once the Players had revealed their existence, there was little need to continue gathering intelligence.
After all, the target had already revealed itself.
Therefore, as massive numbers of Starships began to take up positions in the outer orbit of the Intelligent Mechanism Star, and especially after the giant mechanical Octopus appeared on the moon, the True Game immediately issued a new announcement.
[Urgent Notice: As the master AI for this game map has discovered the presence of Players, the current initial map testing and reconnaissance mission has been canceled.]
