In accordance with the ancient prophecies, the Cataclysm devastated the world, shattering nations, breaking continents, and banishing the very gods.
Nonetheless... some time has passed since then, and civilization has began to reestablish itself. Naturally, as civilization is reestablished, so are its enemies... among them, the Dungeon Masters, lords of the underground complexes, who seek to pillage and raid the surrounding lands. After all, running a dungeon is expensive work, and there's never enough Gold to keep things running.
You will be among those to advise an ambitious young Dungeon Master. Perhaps you will lead him to greatness, attaining the highest circles of magic and conquering much of the world... or perhaps you will fail, and none will remember you. Regardless, know that your Dungeon Master is young and naive, and your advice, good or bad, may make all the difference.

NEGATIVE. NOTE THAT AVAILABLE INFORMATION IS NOT COMPLETE, DUE TO LACK OF REFERENCE TO MODULE GAMMA, BUT AVAILABLE INFORMATION SUGGESTS THAT THE DOOR IN QUESTION IS A SINGLE CHOKEPOINT, WITH THE DOOR OPPOSITE IT CONNECTING TO THE MAIN CORRIDORS. THE UNDERGROUND MAINTENANCE ACCESSWAYS MAY OR MAY NOT LEAD PAST THIS POINT, BUT UNLIKELY TO BE A SOLUTION IN THIS CASE, AS IT WOULD BREACH SECURITY TO HAVE EASY MAINTENANCE ACCESS IN AN UNSECURE AREA.

Either repairing the blocked door, or swapping one of his current tools for a hydraulic arm to force the door open.

'JUSTICE' HAS REFILLED THE ATMOSPHERIC MODULATION UNIT. ATMOSPHERIC MODULATION UNIT IS NOW OPERATIONAL. RECEIVING DATA ON CURRENT ATMOSPHERIC CONTENTS OF CORRIDOR SYSTEM... COMPLETE. TEMPERATURE: 53.2 °C PRESSURE: 109.2 kPa ATMOSPHERIC CONTENTS: NITROGEN: 71.9% CARBON OXIDES: 7.2% SULFURIC COMPOUNDS: 3.9% NITROGEN OXIDES: 3.6% CORROSIVE GASSES: 2.7% OXYGEN: 2.3% HYDROCARBONS: 1.9% INERT GASSES: 1.7% AMMONIA: 1.3% OTHER TRACE MATERIALS: 3.5% ATMOSPHERIC MODULATION UNIT IS NOW ENGAGED, AND WILL GRADUALLY BEGIN RESTORING THESE VALUES TO NORMAL ATMOSPHERIC LEVELS. THIS WILL GENERATE HAZMAT; WHICH IS SIMILAR TO SCRAP, BUT MORE HAZARDOUS TO STORE AND DIFFICULT TO PROCESS. SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO HANDLE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF HAZMAT, AND WILL ALERT THE CORE IF AND WHEN LEVELS OF HAZMAT EXCEED SAFETY THRESHOLDS. MEANWHILE, 'ARCHIMEDES' REPORTS THAT THE MANUAL DOOR CONTROLS ARE RESPONSIVE, IF SLUGGISH. EXPECTATION THAT REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO OPEN AND CLOSE DOOR WILL EVENTUALLY LEAVE DOOR BROKEN BUT PARTIALLY OPEN, ALLOWING 'ARCHIMEDES' TO EXIT WITHOUT THE NEED FOR HYDRAULIC ASSISTANCE. PROCESS EXPECTED TO TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES AND CAUSE NONTRIVIAL DAMAGE TO THE DOOR. 'JUSTICE' IS NOW FREE TO BE REEQUIPPED OR REDEPLOYED AS NEEDED. STRONGLY RECOMMEND, HOWEVER, THAT THIS BE DONE WILL ALL DUE CARE AND FORESIGHT. 'ACHILLES' WILL NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP THE CORRIDOR PASSABLE FOR MUCH LONGER, AND IF THE FIRE SEPARATES ACTIVE GOLEMS FROM VITAL TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT, THE SITUATION MAY BECOME UNRECOVERABLE. NOTE THAT A GOLEM EQUIPPED WITH A HYDRAULIC LIFTING ARM IS CAPABLE OF TRANSPORTING THE SUPPLY MODULE WITHOUT DIFFICULTY. SUPPLY MODULE IS CAPABLE OF HOLDING 100 UNITS OF PARTS, WHICH CAN INCLUDE REPLACEMENT GOLEM LIMBS (EQUIVALENT TO 10 UNITS) OR DE-POWERED GOLEMS (EQUIVALENT TO 50 UNITS). INCLUDING THE HYDRAULIC LIFTING ARM CURRENTLY IN STORAGE, SUPPLY MODULE CONTAINS 44/100 UNITS. NOTE ALSO THAT THERE IS A LENGTH OF CURRENTLY UNEXPLORED AND UNKNOWN CORRIDOR BETWEEN THE CORE INTERSECTION AND SECURITY. POSSIBLE THAT ADDITIONAL FIRES OR OTHER UNEXPECTED BARRIERS MAY BE PRESENT, REQUIRING ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO CIRCUMVENT. UNABLE TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE ON TIME BEFORE JUSTICE WOULD BE ABLE TO ARRIVE IN SECURITY TO ASSIST 'ARCHIMEDES'. ACTIVATION OF MODULE GAMMA WOULD IMMEDIATELY CONSUME 5% OF BACKUP POWER. TRACING AND REROUTING OF POWER LINES AND DOOR CONTROLS LIKELY TO CONSUME MORE, EXACT VALUES DEPENDING ON SYSTEM DAMAGE, AS A GRADUAL COST OVER TIME RATHER THAN A SINGLE IMMEDIATE EXPENDITURE. IT IS EXPECTED THAT FULLY RESTORING THE SYSTEM WILL CONSUME VAST AMOUNTS OF POWER, OVER A CONSIDERABLE PERIOD OF TIME; IMMEDIATE EFFECTS WOULD BE TO SLOW THE RATE OF RECHARGE AS MODULE GAMMA AUTOMATES THE PROCESSES IN QUESTION. CURRENT STATUS: AVAILABLE RESOURCES: 0-R, 8-O, 1-Y, 3-N, 10-A, 8-B, 1-I, 0-V: 3-SCRAP SPARE EQUIPMENT: HYDRAULIC LIFTING SYSTEM. G_REPAIR_VI_001 (CODENAME: ACHILLES): PARTIALLY FUNCTIONAL, CONDITION POOR. RIGHT ARM REMOVED. LEFT ARM EQUIPPED WITH EXTINGUISHER SYSTEM (6%). CURRENTLY KEEPING BURNING FUEL LINE SUPPRESSED. G_REPAIR_VI_002 (CODENAME: JUSTICE): MOSTLY FUNCTIONAL, CONDITION FAIR. MISSING LEFT EYE. RIGHT ARM EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC REPAIR SYSTEM. LEFT ARM EQUIPPED WITH MULTITOOL SYSTEM. CURRENTLY IDLE. G_MEDIC_VII_003 (CODENAME: ARCHIMEDES): FULLY FUNCTIONAL, CONDITION POOR. RIGHT ARM EQUIPPED WITH SURGICAL KIT. LEFT ARM EQUIPPED WITH DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.

MEANWHILE, 'JUSTICE' HAS MOVED TO THE INACTIVE REPAIR GOLEM THAT WAS EQUIPPED WITH THE PORTABLE ALCHEMY MODULE. REPLACING ELECTRONIC REPAIR SYSTEM WITH PORTABLE ALCHEMY MODULE WILL ALLOW FOR SYNTHESIS OF REPLACEMENT EXTINGUISHER GAS CANISTERS. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO SALVAGE ANOTHER REPLACEMENT EYE FROM THE REPAIR GOLEM IN QUESTION, SLIGHTLY DELAYING THE PROCESS, BUT MAKING 'JUSTICE' SOMEWHAT MORE EFFICIENT AT FUTURE TASKINGS. 'ACHILLES' REPORTS EXTINGUISHER CAPACITY AT CRITICAL LEVELS: 4% AND FALLING. BACKUP POWER LEVEL: 33% GENERATOR STATUS: FUEL LEVEL 76% POWER LEVEL NOW SUFFICIENT TO ACTIVATE HAZMAT GOLEM.

Acknowledged.

Activate G_HAZMAT_IX_004 (HAZMAT_IAGO) for immediate tasking.

Pathfinding-routing through main system process - assess condition of main valve-control manually before further action.

Task Order: Recharge backup power to 6%. Activate Module-Gamma. Prepare for momentary consciousness blip (risk assessment permanent powerdown: minimal). Activate Manual Control of Security Section systems. Clear way for Archimedes.

Task ACHILLES with retreating to corridor junction to await fresh extinguisher canister.

Task JUSTICE to advance with fresh extinguisher canister once complete.

Continue charging Backup Power and manually controlling HAZMAT_IAGO.

1. I would rather perform error correction on module gamma before activating it.
2. There are more important things to use energy on then module gamma right now. We have another repair golem in excellent condition being recharged, we should get it before module gamma to further accelerate our repair and reclamation of the facility.
>>
No. 515096 ID: 80dda0

Module Gamma contains the protocols to directly control portions of the facility's systems. Getting it online can directly aid our ability to get ARCHIMEDES to our Dungeon Master should there be additional complications in it's path.

'Reclamation' of the facility can wait until the fuel lines are closed. JUSTICE is being used for make-work as it is - having another golem is completely pointless until the fire is under control, sending golems out into the facility unprepared with the fire about will just get us dead golems or things made worse.

There is also the possibility that the Gamma Module will contain data useful to us in warning off potential disasters that we could be averting right now if we knew about them - sort of like the fire we are currently struggling to contain, and the generator we could have had plugged in many minutes ago had we known it was there.
>>
No. 515101 ID: 76b151

>>515096
Agreed, Module Gamma should be next unless there proves further need of additional golems.

It might be worth it to charge up the second Hazmat Golem or the Security Golem. As we DO have an unknown in security.

No. 515103 ID: 80dda0

CHICAGO is a native american word meaning loosely skunk. IAGO is a welsh name, but similar in structure to many greek words, and purportedly italian. Given that we already have an ARCHIMEDES and an ACHILLES, it's simply continuing on a theme. JUSTICE was a very important notion in the ancient world, so debatably JUSTICE can be placed in the same set. Plus, getting as many disney bird characters as possible as golems is a laudable goal in and of itself.

IAGO is also short and contains a lot of vowels, which is nice and computery because it could be an acronym.

Also, this sort of thing should be in the discussion thread.
>>
No. 515105 ID: 80dda0

Access to security at this time requires walking through unknown amounts of danger and also fire.

Our best bet to add more force to the Security Section at this time is to see if any other golems are attached to recharge points nearby, and remotely activate them.

At this time the only identified dangers are of power loss and fire. Risking the loss of BLUE-13 class assets at this time is unacceptable due to nebulous threats.

We are OVERSEER-17. We act rationally, based solely on the observed data. To do otherwise is irrational, and must be purged.

Justice was named for the lack of vision when we encountered him

Achilles was missing his legs. I named it for the achilles heel.

Archimedes is a well known symbol of knowledge and suits a doctor.

Iago has nothing to do with fire, or anything to do with its current condition.

As we are currently deciding the name of the golem in question it does belong here as we are arguing towards a decision. Discussion threads are for completely unrelated posts that have little to no impact on the current actions.
>>
No. 515150 ID: 80dda0

Golems are interchangeable purposewise. It makes more sense to name them according to a linguistic root than whatever selection of arms they currently have attached when we found them.

Greek historical/fictional characters is a good theme, as conforming to a single linguistic root is generally more interesting than picking words from wherever, especially common american placenames or military slang, both incredibly overused here and elsewhere on the internet.
>>
No. 515156 ID: 76b151

>>515150
And it makes more sense to me to pick something other then a pure linguistic route. I associate things more strongly with the concepts behind the name then the name itself. Iago is a bird from Disney's Aladdin with a foul temper. So its not appropriate in my mind for a bulky hazmat golem. Chicago however is far more appropriate for botht the golems functionality and the current situation of an extremely hazardous fire.
>>
No. 515188 ID: 80dda0

If you want a city famous for it's massive fires, then you should be naming the golem 'London'.

Sticking to a single linguistic route is generally far superior in terms of versimilitude, and if your knowledge of Iago comes from disney rather than from shakespeare i'd probably make up that deficiency at the source - Othello is one of his better plays to read or see, i'd recommend it any day of the week.

I disagree completely.
>>
No. 515190 ID: 76b151

How the hell is one name better then the other due to versimilitude? Names are an arbitary identity, not a fact. No one name is more correct then the other. You use them to identify a thing. Nothing more, nothing less.

As far as Iago from Othello I don't see how that relates to our hazmat bot at all. The character there is an advisor then a traitor who is killed. It's like you picked the name simply because you liked the character. Which makes it far more arbitary than my own.

>>515096
>Getting it online can directly aid our ability to get ARCHIMEDES to our Dungeon Master should there be additional complications in it's path.
1. We are the dungeon master.
2. There is 1 single door between archimedes and the prisoner which it is almost done forcing open.
3. Without proper repair first (of target doors to open/close), using module gamma could lead to more fires due to shorts. Having another golem could allow faster repair of rooms for reactivation.
4. We need to repair the main reactor which is significantly more fuel efficient, more repair golems means it get done faster

>>515101
As far as I understand it, charging is instant. We place it in the charging station and when we decide to allocate the energy percentage it instantly transfers to the golem. Golem must be fully charged before activation

Golem HAZMAT_IAGO... error...error.. Golem not found.

Cross-checking.

Golem HAZMAT_POMPEII to check functionality of telescoping waldo arm. If armfunction_good, advance to valve room and begin turning off valves to fuel pipes, beginning with any controlling the fuel flow to the valve room, then the one currently being suppressed by golem ACHILLES, then any close to the Security Section, and then through simple physical proximity to valves. ALL valves are to be closed, barring further information that invalidates this order.

JUSTICE continues to supply ACHILLES with firefighting canisters as necessary, and begins to salvage the equipment and golems present in the room. Viable golems are moved to the PORTABLE_GENERATOR but not immediately charged. Non_viable golems, limbs, or other refuse are examined for use, converted into more useful substances, or in other manners made useful.

[We are not the Dungeon Master. We are OVERSEER-17, a mighty synthetic intelligence from the Age of Wonder. We lead and guide our Dungeon Master in running a Dungeon, and ultimately, fulfilling our mission goals by ensuring none but the IONIAN DIRECTORATE remain on this world.

The Ionians were presumably human, based on all this stuff we have learnt. All human cultures so far encountered have a linguistic root. This is based on a similar set of sounds and expands semi-randomly based on a set of rules as it matures and new concepts are added, as well as loanwords, other linguistic influences etc.

In reality, creating a language according to these rules accurately is very hard, so the simplest kludge is to find an existing language and base your fake language on it. We are assuming whatever language (Old Ionian) our computers and golems and dungeon master are speaking is being translated into english - which is fine. But proper names aren't translated, so we can build and maintain versimilitude as players by naming things with words that 'sound' Ionian. 'Ionian' is a greek word. So the easiest way to do things is to use greek/old italian words that sound 'similar' to it to preserve the illusion of a shared linguistic root.

I'm pretty sure that greek did not/does not use the soft 'ch' sound with the hard 'ik' of chicago, ever, and 'kago' ending sounds a bit off as well.

Plus it makes one think of the modern american city by the same name, which seems incongruous in this setting which does not have it, and reduces immersion.]

BACKUP POWER LEVEL: 13% GENERATOR STATUS: FUEL LEVEL 74% POWER LEVEL IS INCREASING BY ~5% EACH SYSTEM UPDATE, AT A COST OF 1% FUEL. REMEMBER THAT ACTIVATION AND USE OF MODULE GAMMA WILL SLOW THE RATE OF RECHARGE, AS SYSTEM RESOURCES ARE CONSUMED TRACING SHORTS AND REROUTING AS APPROPRIATE. THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE ANYWAY, BUT MIGHT BE DELAYED IN FAVOUR OF FASTER GOLEM DEPLOYMENT, TO ASSIST IN CONTAINING AND EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE.

Alright I agree activate Module Gamma.

However I think we SHOULD equip Hazmat "Pompeii" with the hydraulic arm. The time lost equipping it should be made up for the time turning the stuck manual control. We don't want this golem to sit inside an inferno for any length of time.

Yea ok... activate gamma now.
I would have wanted to run deep scans with module alpha on... well everything that it hasn't done it yet, but unfortunately doing so prevents us from directing our golems which is essential until the fire is taken care of.

Would it be possible for a HYDRAULIC ARM on the hazmat golem to pinch/crush the fuel line closed?

If so it could free up ACHILLES to go into the vent system and see what the problem is there. If the vent system is repaired we could just suck all the air out of most of the rooms.

The medi bot has an oxygen mask right? (200 year old air but still) if so we need not worry about the mage suffocating.
