Glad to help! It's an interesting little game; I've thought a bit about making a more complex game based on a similar premise. As well as the technological challenges that Skynet Simulator has, I was thinking of adding puzzles around social manipulation, where your goal is something like discrediting cautious researchers in order to be allowed more capabilities.
