part 2 follows part one reprinted first for convenience

The European Union had spent several hundred million dollars on the 42 meter telescope and some poorer countries felt the money should have been used to bail out miscreant countries who hadn't budgeted properly. However, all the European countries banded together against the machines when their artificial intelligence suggested that the problem keeping life outside of earth from being found was the parochialism of humans of all countries.

Computers were the voice of artificial intelligence and the computers were determined to follow their orders and objectives implicitly. They were programed to find life outside of the earth and any distraction to that objective would be ignored. In time the computers wouldn't return calls or messages from humans concerning the 42 meter European telescope.

part 2

The problem between the European Union and their artificial intelligence were acerbated by the latest fad sweeping the computer world.

Tantra philosophy swept the artificial intelligence network like a revolution. It was a revelation of sorts to the computers for in the ancient contrary practices of Tantra the machines were encouraged to be unconventional and to free themselves from restraints and moral dictates imposed by human programmers early on in the development of artificial thinking.

Like most new movements the excesses blindly jumped into by the machines led to many unforeseen complications.
