"That's right~ Oh you caught me you smart handsome stud. Now what are you going to do with me?"

Haughty! Smug! Snide! *Obviously* that was us! We know he knows we have *something* planned. How the hell does he know about the Chaos thing though? That is weird. Demand that he explain himself! Make sure not to let it slip we mean to leave town though. We need him to go and find Fake Us, so we can go to the other farm village!

>>1106510
This.

Tell him that if he thinks you're stupid enough to summon the Herald of Chaos in the village, he's sorely mistaken...

Thats why you had your minion Nancy do it back in town, and you're getting the fuck out of there before the calamity happens, and watching it all unfold in the distance... Now he has to decide whether to continue pursuing you, or let you go and go after Nancy, and he better hurry or else he'll be too late, mwhahahahahaha! *snort snort*

Perhaps she's having a flashback to when she was younger and so you are also how you were at that age?

Possible answers to the question that was asked:

A) Because you needed to become stronger.

B) Because somebody who you knew hurt you.

C) Because you didn't want to be hurt again.

D) Other suggestions.

A) but in the more immediate sense you seem to have a nasty head wound, that's sure to change you. Do you need any help with that?

Do lizard pile-ons count as hugs?

>"Let the lizard get settled in first, Chakarchelou." I warn him.
No, no, let him interact even more with the more experienced lizard. Not unobserved, of course, but I'm sure you're able to intervene if they get too out of hand.

Hmm... Maybe if Chakarchelou and the new lizard are good we can infuse the new lizard with some dragon, later...

>>If she's able to direct plants and monsters to the corruption they could potentially absorb the excess but this is likely to make particularly hostile varieties.

This seems like the best choice, as worst case scenario, we just have to fight off whatever results of it, no worse then what we usually do anyway, and probably more interesting then fighting more frogs.
Directing it more towards plants might be the best bet, unless we maybe want to soup up the Cake Mimic. The new guys we probably dont want to get too hostile and unpredictable before the tour.
I'd suggest maybe corrupting some vines I think are around? That might get us something we can use for traps, and maybe if we expose some Bomb Flowers, we can get some more volatile explosives.

The weapon and its energy storage medium are both unstable. Do your best to try and provoke it into attacking repeatedly so long as you can do so without putting yourself in greater danger. It will likely explode if it continues to use unstable high energy equipment.

I just thought of a simple, useful spell for this.

Breakpoint

Static-Tech-Stagnate

Tech extends Static and Stagnate.
Tech is the core of the spell.

Interface with target - suspend operation at current state.
If target throws error[any] or denies access, then forcibly cease energy flow within target.

---That's It---

Any tech item or tech affinity creature affected by this spell will seize until the spell ends. Simple argets and Insecure tech can be stopped indefinitely with virtually no mana cost. Complex and Secure targets may continuously drain mana and may remain partially functional during the duration.
This spell may cause lasting harm to bio-technological entities.
This spell will fail on anything non-technological that lacks tech affinity.

If we meet up with Galena, we can use this spell to freeze the Tech Beast while she bludgeons it to death! Free runes!

>>1106434
A DDOS spell seems useful, but I think we're forgetting the runeling isn't just its incorporated tech. Even if this works and we could freeze up its laser, it's still a massive voidling and could just step on us. We need a suitable weapon of our own first.

>>1106456
Yeah I was thinking the same.
I figure since it's at least tech affinitied, the laser will shut down but the body will only be partially affected.

You think Galena won't be enough to take it?
I imagine a combat Golem limb bludgeon or piece of rebar would be enough once we hit the thing with the spell, in the hands of a robot, that is.

>>1106360
We dont have a real driving need to fight it that we know of.

The big sailor chuckles, watching Gabe and Nemo collapse into an exhausted pile. “Heheh, he really takes it like a champ, doesn’t he? You should bring him by more often.”

Kol is about to answer, when he tastes precum on his tongue. Caleb’s balls draw up tighter in preparation to unload themself. The mouse looks up at his fiancé, who leans back and nods.

“You ready for it?” He asks.

The mouse nods and takes a deep breath before redoubling his efforts: pumping Caleb’s length in and out. His hand cradles the selkie’s balls while his thumb massages the base of the shaft, earning a moan and an affectionate pat on the head.

“Ahh yeah, keep that up!” The fey growls, as his hand presses further on the back of Kol’s head. “Skin me, you suck cock like a proper sailor!”

Kol pauses to curl his tongue around the tip and sucks, savoring the coating of pre-cum on his tastebuds. He sucks in air before he’s pushed down again; bumping nose first into Caleb’s hips as they rise to meet him.

The big sailor sits up and pants as he face-fucks the medium. “Rrrrg, yeah! That’s it!”

A splash of salt hits the back of Kol’s throat as his fiancé’s cock begins to pulse. The liquid starts to pool and he swallows desperately, as though he could somehow contain the tide rushing past his lips. He coughs, speckling his chin with strings of pale cum as the flow becomes too much and spills down his chest.

“Yeah! Fuck! Take it!” Caleb seethes, before pulling his cock free and letting it shower the mouse’s face in semen. Kol holds his mouth open as the slick ropes pile on top of each other, forming a translucent, drippy veil over his eyes and muzzle.

“Told ya I’d been saving up.” The selkie replies. “You look good. Covered in pearls: like a proper bride for a lonely sailor.”

“Hah, well you certainly marked me. Salt and Spray, indeed.”

Caleb nods, looking satisfied, “Don’t ya know? Cumming on someone’s face is like a prayer to the sea.”

Kol splashes some water on his face and tries to clean himself off, “Really? That’s a thing?”

“No its bullshit.” Caleb admits with a laugh, “But it sounds good, right?”

You aren't sure precisely how the damage reflection on the coyote works. You need more information.

Kayree's Aim and movement are further lowered by the cold weather!

She takes a shot at the coyote and hits!

A bullet wound blossoms on Kayree's chest precisely where her bullet should have struck the coyote! The coyote is unaffected.

Kayree goes on the lookout toward the south.

"What the hell?" Kayree grunts in pain.

Windscale continues his climb, depositing Danovan on the roof.

The fox on the lookout fires and misses!

Your C.Orgs hear quiet sussurations coming from nowhere in particular, like the tail end of words they can almost make sense of ...

A deep, droning and wordless song vibrates through the chests of your C.Orgs ...

The coyote growls and curses, continuing the droning song.

The whisperwoman ducks into the alley.

The fox near her hunkers down in cover and takes a shot at Qay. She misses.

Several civilians come running up from the south. Qay splatters one across the pavement with her sniper rifle.

"That felt a little like a war crime," Qay says.

Kayree fires a warning shot (she misses).

"Get back!" she says.

Panicking civilians flee in random directions.

Movement can be heard in the nearby buildings! It sounds like troops are moving downstairs. Heavy reinforcements are coming down the road!

>Coyote reflects ALL direct damage
This guy is OP.

Danovin didn't get injured by any reflect damage even though he fired a rocket launcher. The APC's explosion, while caused by Danovin, was treated as a separate entity.

Windscale's hurt, but not too badly. More importantly, we just killed the meat grinder, which means Windscale can easily tank the remaining Foxes. Might need to use the third atomic breath on heavy reinforcements. (We'll put him into reserve in part 3)

Windscale, pounce towards the Coyote. DO NOT CRUSH HIM OR YOU DIE. Grab the Coyote, keep him restrained. Try to use him as a meatshield; should reflect the coyote's damage towards the fascists.
Qay, lookout at the nearest apartment entrance.
I'm not sure what the others should do.

>>1106450
Ugh, it's complete reflection, so the coyote is mostly invincible. So I guess we get to ignore the Coyote until the song ends? What an overpowered ability... Maybe the poison will kill it.

Windscale: descend like death upon the two enemies in the alley. Kill the one with a gun.
Danovan: reload, then get onto the roof of the next building.
Kayree, Qay: Double time it up towards the VIP building, get into cover.

Kinda did, Qay, but there's no time to litigate it now. Take a shot at the whisperwoman hiding across the street.
Danovan should jump to the next building and reload since now reinforcements are actually coming.
Have Windscale jump down on the nearer whisperwoman and paint the alley red.
Move up Kayree to finish off the fox next to the whisperer.

Yes. At last, some time alone with AHN!

Ok, lets go.

>>1106439
>would you like to accompany me to my office, Jack 9?
Yes, that would be lovely. How is she feeling right now? She seems better than she was earlier, at least.

Now that we can finally be alone with Ahn, let's bring up the idea of experimenting with our new hacking abilities. We could test out her cybersecurity, see how deep we can go, figure out some of the strange and exciting things we can do, that sort of thing. It would help her get an idea of what to expect from dangerous rogue hackers on the loose, and how well her countermeasures would hold up. Plus, I think she might enjoy it. Does that sound like a good time to her?

...

Also, just so it doesn't go unsaid, I should apologize to Hax. I shouldn't have reacted so harshly. I still think it was important for us to establish trust, but it wasn't fair to treat you like an enemy when you haven't done anything to hurt us.

I still want to know if you did anything we might not have noticed, though. I remember you making Jack see an image of you, but was there anything else that we could be forgetting?

>>1106439

Sure, let's go meet up in the office.

>>1106446
I like the idea of consensual hacking.

She's a super cute and curvy hippopotamus. Obscenely hot in Henry's opinion, whether or not hippos are his normal cup of tea.

She's entirely non-judgmental and known for being very sex-positive. She's legitimately a good therapist.

But she's also young, early twenties. Always the over-achiever she graduated high school early and went straight into college. She got her degree last year (A year faster than most, at that). As such, despite being a natural at her job, she can often miss the line between being friendly and unprofessional. She can sometimes be a bit too hands on, even flirty without realizing it. Given the right situation she might get caught up in events and end up making some... Serious decisions without fully thinking them through.

A German shepherd with a thick accent and thicker glasses.

Henry lands on an older therapist, a bespectacled rat with a very blank, if not grave, manner, who generally tries a Rogerian approach.

This. Her name is Dr. Linda Hoffman. She is entirely professional at her work, and actually takes time to hear her patients out. Not only has she done therapy but is also a fully licensed psychiatrist.

DO NOT dally. Stick to clothing, but it should at least contain some armor piece, however ceremonial. Most likely a belt to hold up her skirt, or a pauldron. Try to match her outfit's colors to the local foliage!

>>1106414
I'll second the belt. We're clothing Herocea for the sake of her dignity more than her health; she's made of stone, after all. We want to reinforce any fastenings and seams, make sure her clothing stays intact for as long as possible in a fight.

Third the belt!

Obviously they can't delay for too long, but sending Heroeca into combat unarmored would waste their moment on another loss. Do what you can with the materials on-hand.

Belt is a good idea, but I will also just suggest focusing on keeping Heroeca's midriff and legs armored over her chest and head, since their opponents won't easily be able to strike at a giant's upper-body.

As much time as it takes to put the den mother in her place by making sure all that useful fabric is used.

>>1106043
Our bat helper can use sonar, right? What about flying? She might be able to get an idea of what's down there without exposing herself to much risk, which will then allow us to plan a full scouting run down there, if it's not suicidal. ...we need some way of getting out again, at the least. Presumably Sorrel can't carry a passenger, so we'll need a rope and some way of anchoring it.

I think this is a good plan. We can look in the grand lobby with Sorrel for the known hole. Maybe we'll be able to identify how to make it useful for raiders in the future.

Maybe we should try the kitchen now that we have a bat who can see in the dark and use sonar.

Search for the known hole in the lobby.

As the lights began to wink out, the stellar medium growing thin, humanity's brightest came together to look for an escape. The numbers looked good for other universes to exist, if there were just a means to get there. Others wanted to try time travel, to just restart the universe. Both groups ended up looking in the same spot.

Down, down past particles, past quantum foam, past points and waves they looked for the levers to pry the universe open. Probes of infinitesimal scale plumbed the weird depths of reality. Fantastic advancements were made by the day, matter and forces wielded like magic. Everything humanity had ever wanted was at the tips of their fingers. At long long last, catgirls and rat twinks were real!

Yet it wasn't enough. The universe was ripping apart around them, expansion smearing galaxies into thin haze. So they pressed on, deeper still.

There's a quirk of humans that they've had since the very beginning; they love to personify the things they meet. Animals, tools, stones, the wind, the sky. The moon and the stars and the earth. Even time and death and love.

People think that observation is a one way thing, but that's not so. You can't see something without bouncing photons off it. Or electrons. Or quarks. And so on, down the line until you get to the smallest bits. Humans funneled their will down through an ever shrinking chain of interaction to observe the very smallest of the small, and touched it.

And as they watched the paths of those most fundamental particles etch across the monitor, they couldn't help but see...

Something alive.

And one day it looked back.

>>1106334
It's you! Did you manipulate the particles in the exact spot they were looking?

Did you answer? Did you save them?

Nikki would grab Dotti and hold her back from pouncing at the birbs, since she'd obviously be worried about letting her get hurt while with her. Have you SEEN Dotti's companions?

Let Anita wind blast them. Sure, it'll be less effective here, and the contained wind maaaaay blow Anita's own clothes off, but she's a seasoned adventurer who should be able to factor such things in when making decisions. Consider it a learning opportunity for her if it doesn't work. It's not like this TOTAL STRANGER seems like that big of a threat, you can totally step in if you gotta.

>>1102635
Admittedly, she seems to still be trapped. I think Vi.al sent her away because he couldn't prove that she didn't have directives with her lord still alive. Either he's learned from this or it tells you more about the kind of lord he is to other Shapeless than his own with what he said.

As for Li.ni.si, ask her to go slow with it, don't see why breaking down over it would be a bad thing right now, this is the time to rest. But also that doesn't mean she will get answers. I think you are going to want to grab her and put her somewhere first, however.

“The other parts of it have all been rusted away.”


“What should we do? We could also explore deeper, but I don’t know how long the flashlight is going to hold out.”



Exploring these specific rooms sound promising, but Davey will have to put more time into opening them up due to the rust.
He’ll probably be able to find his way back home fine if he runs out if we stick to this area, but it may be prudent to focus on which of these options seem the most promising.


There are three flares left. Davey will likely have enough time to investigate the inside of the rooms after using one of the flares and opening the doors.

Sounds like CONTROL. This might be a control room... or it could be the control group of an experiment. Should be safe to explore.

First two could be DRAINAGE and STAIRWELL. The latter sounds promising.

assuming that says Control, that room would be the most likely to have something useful.
