Hey, that is not my job. My job is to buy the GPUs and the RAM and the SSDs, making use of all that is another guy’s problem.

They’re going to recreate XB-0 Hresvelger from Ace Combat as a mobile data center hidden in the mountains of Eastern Europe. It’s destroyed by the Allied Forces before it can take flight as their planned and permanent aerial data-ship connected by satellite and fueled by atmospheric FBOs (floating base operator).
