It dropped the sword. Use that to disable the artillery before it can fire.

>>1104889
Yes.
Pull it free and try to jam it in the control center.

Once you get that sword to its gun arm, rush between its legs to either strike its back, or book it.

Charge it and dive slide through legs.

Thanks DELVE, that was (overall) helpful. I want to go home now. [RETURN]

Hi DEZ. Really sorry about that, we're still working out the kinks of... us. Glad you aren't dead! Most of us are back now. I think.

Pursuant to the not-dead thing, greasy fuckstick VITTORIO is getting back up. Can you walk yet? If not, you should try and fix that. You've got this!

Before we part ways, I would ask two question of User:[DELVE], if it is not too imposing.

The first: Why would an Oss continue to exist without a user? What purpose does a chorus persue when there is no longer a singular will to be imposed upon? What schemes could possibly benefit the ossuary exclusively? If User:[DELVE]'s individual will is... Passed on, as you put it, wouldn't that render any agreement between the two of you irrelevant?

My second question is far more simple.

What do you, as User:[DELVE], gain from helping User:[GLAIVE]'s ossuary? Is this a debt repaid, or an act of altruism?

...

I am afraid of the answers we may or may not receive, fellow Chorus of DEZ. Perhaps that fear proves we haven't fully become monsters in this state.


I, too, vote to [RETURN].

Thank you [DELVE] for some explanation. You seem... more put together than a typical oss, but that could be due to your specific condition of knitting together into one approximation of Delve.
I would like to [RETURN] to user [DEZ] because she really needs us to be coherent right now, instead of scattered and jumping from osspop to osspop. I don't know how much of the two geists we lost to the Vitsplosion will be salvageable, but we absolutely need to warn Veil that he is up and at it again.
To [VEILGAOL]: Vittorio is getting up so we better move. User [DEZ] has friends outside that at least need to be notified of what's happening. Please have user [VEIL] take us to user [DELVE] for recuperation. It seems likely that she can move faster than a car.

Thank you Delve Oss, this diversion, while not asked for, was more productive then expected. We'll be in touch. I'll [Return]

I don't second any of this though. We should be involving ourselves with the living as little as possible at this point. Not getting random innocents killed should at least be our 2nd or 3rd priority and things have been looking pretty dicey on that front since disco dick showed up. The last thing we want is to waltz up to a car filled with Dez's well meaning friends with an angry necrotech with a low value of human life and a high need of daddy's approval on our tale. It took him a solid 5 seconds to resurrect this time. We need to get away from him before he can cause serious harm.

Dez, can you text your friends and tell them to stay away? Vittorio is resurrecting too fast, it'll be near impossible to keep them safe.

Lieutenant Eric Taylor's Backstory

The big bullet points for Lt. Taylor are:

-Grew up under single father
-Enlisted in the UTR Marines
-First saw action when a vital Dwarven mining colony was attacked by Vidder insurgents (yes, those Vidder, I had asked Brom for permission to use them). This would lead into how there are disputed worlds in the UTR that may have been formally and politically ceded, but the locals did not care for it and took action.
-Taylor would meet Jacobe as his unit would join a task force for rooting out the insurgency
-Taylor's CO was the son of a major military contractor who got his rank via nepotism, and was also very racist towards Vidder
-The overall mission was a success, until Taylor's CO demanded he clear a local residental area
-The area would be full of civilians that had no part in the conflict, but the CO would demand their execution anyways
-Taylor, having a strong moral center, would refuse orders
-The CO would get enraged and try to force Taylor at gunpoint to kill the civilians
-Taylor would end up shooting his CO in the head, but not before the CO would blow off Taylor's right arm
-Taylor was set to be summarily executed if Jacobe had not recorded the whole incident
-In the end, Taylor and Jacobe would be dishonorably discharged and the incident would be swept under the rug
-Taylor would go nearly broke getting the cheapest cybernetic prosthetic so he could join a PMC and resume his military career outside the Marines
-He would eventually join Jacobe in a mission to run security for a small Gregorian-class science vessel called the UTR June

The rest, they say, is history.

Up next: Lt. Cmdr. Jacobe!

Feel free to comment and discuss!

Disappointed, but grateful for the sendoff. Thanks for running!

>-In the end, Taylor and Jacobe would be dishonorably discharged and the incident would be swept under the rug
I feel like it would be easier to sweep the incident under the rug with a regular discharge (or even honorable as bribe to keep their mouths shut about it).
Dishonorably discharging them (especially Jacobe) sounds actually petty rather than practical. (not to mention highly dishonorable in itself)

Taylor and Jacobe got the Big Green Weenie from their superiors. I wanted to show that even in the future, the armed forces can still be dicks, especially if it's motivated by the MIC.

Anyways! Decided to merge three characters into one update in order to be more efficient! Here we go! Wall of text ahoy!

Lieutenant Commander Robert Jacobe's backstory bullet points

-Son of military kid, aspired to be a soldier for the United Terran Republic, got his wish after high school.
-Skilled with firearms as a result of extra training with his dad
-Married Rose, his high school sweetheart (was going to ask LonelyWorld if I could use Rose from Pinkskin Quest, but forgot)
-Served a tour with Taylor, similar service history right until Taylor's incident with his superior officer
-After being discharged, a friend recommended him to the PMC he would join later (that we would discover has notoriously low standards and is shoddy as hell)

I'm going to be completely honest here bro, I don't remember even the slightest idea of what's going on in this quest or who anybody is and I'd rather you just run audit.

Hell yeah, we are back baby! Love this quest! Didn't get the chance to participate before

The people staying with the nomads will be probably fine. The prision sounds bad, but it's unlikely for them to attack some lost people in the dessert. I would go first for the people most likely to get lost AND far.

>>1104908
Tali! Tali! It's been like six years since we last saw you! Did you miss us? What have you been doing all that time?

>>1104908
Probably should look at the pair that are close to the prison. That sounds like a recipe for trouble, and if not, hey, it doesn't sound like either of the other groups are in active danger.

Hm, probably should focus on making sure our other Undine is okay, at the same time though they aren't currently near anything that could be a big threat...
Let's consult Lan first, she probably knows whether we should worry about the other two groups based on where they are, since we don't know anything about The Prison or whether the nomads would be hostile or anything.

i have entirely stopped doing quest art for hire because that was slowly driving me insane from having a long term obligation i had less than full control over. i very much enjoy personal questing and will continue to do it at the every other day rate for long term quests for as long as i have the energy!

Okay, realistically things aren’t catastrophic–he still has food, water, shelter, and a job–but this is probably the most stressful combination of things that have happened to Henry since puberty. He wanders from the sidewalk to the curb and sinks down. Take forehead, apply to thumb and pointer finger for perfect melancholy form. A few manly tears trickle down his cheeks and he holds his breath to stop from whimpering.

Is he a bad person for what happened to Becca? Is Mahan a bad person because he’s old-fashioned? What does being bad even mean when a lot of the lines in Henry’s life are already drawn and he has to ride them out?

He’s supposed to be good at dealing with feelings. Mature, sensible Henry.

“Hey, why’re you sittin’?” Mahan sounds concerned for the first time.

“Would you leave me alone already? You guys are always bugging me about everything and I can’t take it right now. Fuck off, g-go home if you don’t want to be here.”

“We do want to be here.” Victor states.

“I d-don’t!” Henry wants to yell and scream at them, just to scare them away. He lets the frustration bleed through his cracking voice. “You think you’re helping but you’re not! Acting smart or superior all the time–it’s fucking annoying. I know I make m-mistakes, I know I can be kind of annoyingly horny, but I never tried to hurt anyone!”

That shuts them up for a second. He distantly hears the door open and bare footsteps approach from behind. Jess touches his shoulder and Henry hides his face in his arms. He’s still mad at the fox.

“Come on honey, I’ll put you up in the bedroom and bring you a plate. Don’t worry about the party, I can handle everything. Victor and Mahan will be good, won’t they?”

“Didn’t mean to make him that upset.” the pika mumbles.

Henry doesn’t have the will to resist as Jess guides his wobbly body up the stairs to the blessedly dim bedroom. He’s not drowsy, but after a few minutes of stewing on top of the soft comforter listening to the distant sounds of civil conversation, the wolf falls asleep.

Thanks for reading, Henry and Jess’s story will continue in the next thread.

Effort is key.
Angels, being all soppy and junk, really believe that thing about the effort you put in to doing something. Maybe seeing that is one of their weird powers.

So, boss, the harder you work the better.
We need a horn then.
Which is ironic as we normally give people the horn, not find them.
Can we find a demon with a big head and horns and just uh, arrange a donation .
Oh!
Hang on. What about a woven reed horn.
If you get the reeds from the edge of the river lethe and gilter out all the forgetfulness magic, there might be some residual mana to tap for the enchantment.

Hang on do you know any other angels? Or at least know of any who would be willing to talk/trade with you? Cause the item your thinking or sounds more like a divine/blessing type thing than a demon type thing. Alternatively are there other powers you could reach out to? Are fae a thing in your reality?

Well, I'd like to see you swell with sexual fluids until the pressure causes you to orgasm, and do it again and again for the rest of the quest.

>What to get
Rather than an actual horn of plenty (gods get kind of pissed if you create an infinite exploit that takes power from their domain and gives mortals basic universal welfare), you could come up with a pair of magic items. A wastebasket that digests anything you put into it, which gets connected to hydroponics mini-farm that re-grows that same item in a smaller form. So, if you throw a chocolate cake in the bin, the bin eats it, keeps some energy for itself and the farm, and then creates a small clone of the chocolate cake.
This way, you don't have to worry about delivering future gifts! You can just give Havel a present via magic teleporter and it'll even be in fun size!

You command the machine to suppress fire, it does so, spraying wildly to attempt to suppress the Training Units, but seeing as they're automatic machines it isn't working very well.

So it seems like it's more ordering the machine to act rather than directly controlling. Try thinking of one of the targets being destroyed, but not specifically how. See how your mech responds.

So much strength, in so light a package, this machine is... well you don't wanna say monster just yet.

Who's a good boy? Get the head! Come on get the head! Good boy! Good boy!

That's a dangerous amount of unpredictability, especially if it can react to idle thoughts or ideas you're considering.

Double check; I'm assuming these things are pretty expensive. You can get complacent once you have a few runs under your belt. :P

Don't forget to form a deep bond with your Voidslave in order to work together perfectly while piloting.

Pat your Voidslave in the head to get started. In other words, pat yourself in the head.

It's not jumping, it's falling... with style.

So do we know where we're going to land?

>>1096850>Wait, wait! Go over equipment one last time.

Woah, woah, poke it with a pen first! What if it’s made of something that disintegrates matter?

A

Just tap it on the side near the top. That round part looks kind of like a face. Is it making any sounds?

C: Ink and Paper! you definitly have paper, but if you don't have a ink-well you will need to break things with ink in them...
Or you could be sane and give it a keyboard and computer to type something
IF not this... then A: Analyse, you have some tech laying around to see if it messes with it, and a fair bit of necromancy, which to be fair would also let you poke around for Poppy's soul so you should use it ANYWAY, but also throw some at This/That, at LEAST see if it HAS a soul or is like, some sorta dungeon creature

ah wait Luna and Kay are different people, Poppy being DEAD is a good reason to cantact Kay at approximetly ASS O CLOCK

C. Smile and wave hello! See what it does in response.

Staying with Mary.
Not only for what we see, but just imagine the pure comedic chaos when we flip back to the first DM after beeing unseen for so long.
Hmmm, would a Level 78 Dominatrix be a good Raid boss?
