Man will learn to fear me once more.

K. So, what's in it for us?

We shall help you reclaim your rightful position as the ruler of this world, and we accept your proposal.

But where to start?
There are a couple of options to consider:
There is a tower nearby that I used to call home. I am sure looters have entered in my absence.
There is a town to the south, called Verinstown. I could pick up some information there on the surrounding area.
Or, if you have another idea...?

And here is a crude map of the immediate area.

Gotcha. What's your current resources? Any nearby settlements of Man, or possible places we can grab power?

>>309770
If your people have been forced into hiding- where are they? If you found them, would they acknowledge you as their rightful leader? That would be a good place to start, I think.

Otherwise, you'll want to start out somewhere that you won't attract much attention. Got to grow stronger before forcing a confrontation. The tower is probably the most obvious move for that.

>>309770
I would recommend going to the town first, my liege. Depending on your current reserves of power, we may or may not be ready for what lies in your old home.

>>309770
Go to the tooower~

can you disguise yourself? would be good to do that if you go to the town/

Change your appearance. You won't want the humans killing you on sight. Are you alone? It would be better if you were in a group, helps planning stuff. You said you were the "God of the Machine". Do you still need to eat and sleep? Can you make small, flying bots? Will certainly help a lot right now. A small list on your powers will be nice, helps in analyzing situations. Other than that, I say we travel to the Old Tower. There might be some stuff they weren't able to remove, but you can.

>>309773
Resources? I have a small amount of coin, which should cover food and lodgings if needed, briberies if necessary. I have with me my advisor and trusted friend, the Magus Israphel. My two greatest warriors are surveying the land; they were the ones who made the map.

>>309783
Wonderful! So your most loyal still remain! Then not all is lost.
Say, if we were to compare your actual power with the one you had before, what percentage of your original power do you possess?

Reclaiming your old base would be the first step. I suggest taking your forces there.

My current powers?
Well, as a Cylosian, my body is a solid living metal. I can create lightning, and I can fly.

I step into the tower, anticipating an attack.
4 Aggressor Class drones stand near the lift.
They turn to look at us, but do not attack. Advancing on the elevator may turn them hostile.

Israphel specializes in Ice spells and Illusions. His humor is rather dry though, when it shows at all.

>>309809
Drones? Try commanding them to do something.

they may recognize you. if not then perhaps the tower does? if not again then tell us what you know about them. are they melee or range specialized?

They react violently to my voice, powering up stunsticks.
This confirms that somebody else is here and has reprogrammed my machines. How should I deal with the robots?

>>309814
Well, you created them, right? You should know how it's going to attack, and where the important parts are. Find a way to turn them off, and reboot. We need more minions.

Are they lightning resistant, my liege? You may strike them down with your holy thunder.

can you reconfigure your lightning emitting ability to absorb electricity? if so then do that and charge in and take the hits and rip their heads off. if not then engage flight and shoot them with lightning from above. Israphel should use his illusions to get close and then got their heads off.

>>309814
Shutting them down for future use would be optimal.

I seem to remember that most things in this world cannot stand against lightning, so I will use that. It seems to have turned them off without burning them out completely, so that's good. When I have finished with the looters, I can re-reprogram them.

>>309822
Make sure to do so, my liege, for it will be the first step towards reclaiming the world.
Now, let us go forward/up!

make sure you fully disable them so if whoever reprogrammed them is out they don't turn them back on behind you.

We reach the top and emerge into an antechamber.
I can see the offender in the next room; he seems shocked to see me.
Between us, however, menaces a Crusher Class drone.

Use lightning on it, Israphel freeze it.

seems a bit big to short out with just one bolt. have Israphel make illusion doubles that always mirror your moves so the drone can't get a good target lock. take flight and make the drone move forward so you can go over it and attack it in the back

If Israphel can operate in parallel make sure that he also freezes the drone's limbs.

>>309923
fix and reprogram the drones, and the crusher mech, and any other tower defenses.

>>309923
That is fine as well, my liege. Perhaps, now that you have your base of operations again, creating an army of machines will prove to be an easier goal. Now, I trust that you remember how your home used to be. Treasures stored, blueprints designed by you, divine weapons of ancient power, what fate has befallen them?

For now, let us wait and see if we can sort out the tower and strengthen it again, until your two great warriors arrive.

Should we? It seems a fair trade.

Shit yes Boss man.

I say go for it, my liege. It would be a waste to just leave the Crusher Mech's steel as an unmoving piece of metal. You can always build more Agressors.

without your power the crusher would prove a good warrior. and if it is WITH the other two aggressors then taking advantage of it's slow speed would be hard to do.

>>309933
yes. 2 drones + crusher are better than 4 drones.

Yes. Could work as a personal bodyguard, or as the main force of our little squad. Is it possible to "absorb" the metal from the sword and broken parts to strengthen our body? Or maybe create spy-drones.

Very well, the Crusher has been repaired.
If I remember correctly, this tower was just the tip of the iceburg, so to speak. Underneath, underground, and locked away is the robotics factory. If I can get down there, there are very few limits to what I can build, other than available resources.

Speaking of which, I currently have:
1 Crusher Mech
2 Aggressor Drones
4 Spare parts

What can you build with those spare parts?

Sounds like the robotics factory is top priority then.
>>309957
Armaments maybe?

>>309957
From what I remember of the SCHEMATICS I have in the factory, I believe I can make the following:
Swarmer- 1 part
Aggressor- 2 parts
Crusher- 5 parts
Walker- 8 parts
Nightmare- 20 parts + Gravitic Crystal

>>309952
Top right. Oh shit, is that Nightmare?

So, I have my tower back... well, at least the upper portion of it. My warriors will be back soon with an updated map, with more area to cover. So the question is, where do I go now?
My objective at the moment is INFORMATION GATHERING and RECONNIASSANCE.

make 2 swarmers and have them replace your warriors in scout duties. need someone able to pass for human to check out the towns otherwise it could raise alarms. unless your people still exist all over. in which case put on a cloak to hide your wings and you could do it.

Brilliant! It's not doing much good up here, so I send it to dig. If It finds any metals or malleable stone, I might get this going faster than expected.

Well..... if you're wanting Info then you should probably wait till yer troops bring back the updated map.

After that, I say avoid towns for now and seek out some exploitable resources. Might want to check out the forest.

Also, if there's anything weak and suitable for immediate subjugation that would be peachy keen.
Some Bio labor might save you some resources and spread fear and whatnot.

I should have this tower sorted out by the time you get back.

I say information takes priority, my liege. Israphel would be the best one in this case, as his cold mind and serious attitude are best for getting the information successfully.
Prometheus and Pandora should be sent out to the Kobold village, as I strongly believe that together they should be capable of completely destroying any opposition. If luck sides with us, our digging may have bore fruit, and we should be able to send the Kobolds to the mines ASAP

Agreed, we need much much more info on the other locations and he is the most calm and collected one... best to do that.
Just to clarify destroy opposition of kobolds... we want to subjugate them not slay them all. This is important.

Keep in mind, the easiest way through this would be to kill the leader and hope that the others follow us without trouble.
However, that may put us at odds with the Celestial. Though that may not even be a problem, she was arguing with a 'bold over nothing. Hell, I might even be able to convince her to join us.

More info required...

Our options are to:
1. kill her and then conquer the cutebolds.
2. tell her we will pay her debt, ask her to leave, then conquer the cutebolds and not pay them.
3. pay her debt, she leaves, conquer the cutebolds.
4. try to recruit her and the bolds with money.
5. Mediate as a neutral third party.
6. some other mix and match of the above.

All have different advantages and disadvantages. We need to find out several things:
A. How much money do we have?
B. How hard would a celestial be to kill?
C. What IS a celestial exactly? are they avatars of "good"? are they divine servants of other gods? are those other gods enemies, allies, or neutral to your god/father?
D. Can celestials send remote communications? (such as telling their god that we attacked them before they actually die?).
E. How much free will do celestials have? how plausible is conversion or conquest? (aka, if celestials are just a race of funny looking people, they can be conquered like any other)

>>310216
I believe there are some paths laid out before us:

-We can ignore the Celestial, and just take the kobolds by force, earning us laborers and making us not spend any money
-We can take the Celestial after paying her debt, make her go to the tower, then take control of the kobolds and make it so the Celestial never notices this happening. This is the most rewarding path, though it'll take some effort.
-We take both the Celestial and Kobolds by force. Well, I'm sure you can do this, but I wouldn't recommend it.
-We take the Celestial and leave the Kobolds alone. We can always use robotic machines for the mines.

As for what we can do to the Celestial, hmm... We can recruit her, but an Angel Cylosian is fine too, fufufu...

err, which one of them are we actually controlling?

As for Prometheus... talk to the celestial, ask her what she does remember of herself. Since they are neither divine servants nor avatars of good, but just nomad people she could perhaps be recruited... She appears to have amnesia and own nothing which complicates things but also solves a lot of potential issues.
The question is then, is she even worth recruiting? will she give us any trouble in our conquests? Ask her if she remembers what her skills or powers are/were. What her job title is, etc.

Both Promethius and Pandora are connected to the Infinity Circuit, but you can only listen in to one of them at a time. The other is indirectly controlled, unless you want to hop bodies. The same goes for Israphel.

The Celestial doesnt look too upset over this.

>>310224
Oh Ragnarode in heaven what a mess!...

Say: Sister! You must be gentler with kobolds, they are very soft... Let go of him and let me see if he can be saved.

Do: Pay attention to the celestial, see how she reacts, be ready to defend yourselves if she attacks. Examine the kobold.

wow you are fast. Its the third time you post the next post while I am writing a reply, mine actually coming in after yours, and being rendered semi obsolete by it (ex: you specified that the celestial is not distressed by the horrible fate of the cute-bold... probably not a very nice celestial then)...

The Kobold is quite dead.
I go outside and inform the villagers that I have killed their leader, and that they now work for Ragnarode. They mutter and shuffle around, but generally aggree.
The Celestial steps up to me.
>Ummm... Thanks for the help there... My name is Zezima. Is there anything I can do to repay you?
Recruit or not? If I say no, she will likely leave and not come back.

>>310237
Recruit. It seems she's not as morally righteous as we thought she'd be. Go for it.

say you do not know but your father may have an idea for what you can do, he lives at the tower to the southeast, say that promethius sent you.

Zezima has joined the party!
I tell her to come with us back to the tower, Ragnarode should have something for her to do.
My work here is finished.

Meanwhile, with Israphel...

recruits if she is useful, if not just let her go.

Subjugation is something you do on a larger scale (whole village or larger) not an individual basis; we know she is not going to through a morality fit, but does she have the skills to be worth it?

Say to her: If you have the right skills we can offer you a paying job amongst the army or with us special force depending on your skill.
If you aren't interested or don't have the skills you are free to go where you are free to either leave, or stay as a citizen.
So that being said, what skills do you have?

>>310244
Dude, she doesn't remember anything. We can teach her whatever we want.

>>310242
welp, seems like it already happened...
Ok... on the way back to the tower ask her about her skills and her amnesia.

Also, you are relocating the entire kobold tribe right? have them take everything they own, pack it up, and move to the tower. Half will be workers inside the tower, the other half will be the beginning of a city around it, building their abodes there and starting on food production, tool production, etc.

>>310245
thats not how amnesia works.
There are actually 5 kinds of memories located in different parts of the brain. Amnesia is the loss of "personal history memories" due to damage to the one part of the brain that keeps them. You lose all or part of your personal history but keep ALL your skills and "factual knowledge". "what is the capital of france" is factual knowledge. martial arts would be skill knowledge. Speaking is language memory (located entirely in the left hemisphere for men, split up between both in women with the majority in the left hemisphere). Etc... Oh, and amnesia is either anterograde or retrograde... either loss of past memory or inability to form new memories. She obviously suffers from loss of past.
Finally, if she DID lose her skills, then teaching her from scratch is not worth the effort and she can be citizen.

>>310248
Well done, I believe our liege will be pleased. Did you meet or see anything strange?

Hmm, even though we are the Infinity Circuit's collective, we are not omniscient. Israphel, how is it that you became Ragnarode's most trusted advisor, and also his friend?

map is good... we need to find out about the political situation. Leading "revolts" and/or manipulating civil wars and/or installing puppet rulers is far better choice than just flat out attempted conquest

I suppose that means they have finished what I sent them out to do.
Well, I found what I needed.
Bad news first:
This is not the right tower. It's still MY tower, but not the right one.
Good news? I got into the tower archives, which tells me how to raise the Neo Arcadian towers, and I have a better assortment of robots I can build.

...So. Tell me how it went.

promethius and pandora subjugated the kobolds, they will listen to us, for now anyway. as well as finding a celestial who now owes them and by extension you.

>>310279
Prometheous and Pandora have successfully taken the Kobolds under your rule, as their leader has been slain. They are also bringing a Celestial. As expected, Israphel did a perfect job, and now possesses a considerably large map of the world.

And what do you mean, it's not the right tower? Is it impossible to access the underground? My, that's too bad. We will have to continue searching then.

Now, if I may ask:
-Can you make a Cylosian out of somebody/turn somebody into a Cylosian? Because I wonder how a Celestial Cylosian would be...
-How is the digging going?

great map. We now need to scout some places in person to find out:
1. Who rules each group; what type of government and who are the people in charge.
2. Who is allied / at war with whom.
3. Population sizes, general economy types, etc.

Our goal is to start with the smallest and weakest and go up from there. Eventually conquering everything. We want to build a great city centered on our current location, draw immigrants in, build an economy, build an army, etc.

>>310296
Done. The Digger Drone chews through the earth, searching for scrap metal and anything else it can find.

So, this isn't the right tower. what are the full capabilities of this tower then?
Right now we should build up an economy. Digger seems to be more of a ground based weapon, but if it can assist in excavation and location of minerals then its a priority. Eventually we want factories churning out armies of all these types of bots. To reach said goal we need to find and conquer a mine, or find ore and excavate it...

Can we build a custom digger? add some diodes and careful programming to make it a specialist in locating ores and in digging the mine shafts for workers to get to them?

This tower is... a data archive. It holds information on a vast variety of subjects.
With it, I can answer any questions you may have about this world.
The Neo Arcadian Towers are underwater, in the bay to the east. I tried raising them earlier, but nothing has happened yet.

then taking seahaven has become even more important, they have the means of sea travel, and if it is in the water you will need boats for anything that cannot fly.

>The view from this tower really IS beautifull, isn't it? You can even see the Ruined Continent from here.

wait, what's he getting at?
also they could probably see the tower from their too. it is pretty fucking huge.

Honestly, I'd be more worried if you COULDN'T see something from the top of this thing. Seriously, you could probably throw the Moon at someone you don't like from here.

Entirely unintentional, I assure you.

Yeaaaaaah. Remember how you were supposed to be the big bad god of evil and terror?

Well, it turns out the Goddess of Hope, Good, and Magic is COMPLETELY OFF THE DEEP END. She plans to eradicate the entire universe, because it isn't "perfect" like she is. As you don't look like her, and have the word "Terror" in your title, she's now going to try and kill you. Be very, very careful.

Be very careful Ragnarode she has ominous theme music.

You are a god of Despair. She is named Hope. It could be a coincidence, but chances are she is here to melt you. Still, talking might let you learn useful things about her.

>>311142
inb4 glomp tackle

Relax. She hasn't done anything yet. What's there to panic about? Don't try to act natural. Be natural. She seems curious, as to who you are and why you're here. Chat her up a little bit.

Prepare for both hugging and annihilation!

Hide and observe what she does from the top of the Moon Tower.

>>311153
"Wait! Don't you want to go to my perfect secondary tower!?"

From now on, add perfect whenever describing somebody you do not want to see dead.

whew. no wonder fate wants her dead, she would of probably killed you for not being perfect, instead of teaching you to be better which is what gods are SUPPOSED to do.

Come to think of it, I have an idea. Instead of exterminating the lesser beings, unite them under your rule and teach them to be better. And by better, I mean an army of Cyborgs to kill Hope with. But yeah, stick with the hiding and observing. Hope is... twitchy.

>>311142
"We are both beings of divinity. Focused on our aspects and, by definition, perfect within them.
Beyond that perfection is defined by the goal. By what goal shall my response be defined?"

Make sure that you have something keeping tabs on her at all times. You should totally flirt with her next time.
Go to that city and talk with the leader - the real leader, not the puppet ruler.

I place my hand on the scanner. Everything lights up.

...I have control.
>>311179
...That city was just burned to the ground in a tidal wave of fire. I can go check, but I don't think anything survived.

>>311202
Check systems, memory, status...everything. We need to make sure no one meddled with this machine and through this, other towers/buildings. Maybe create a voice-activated password, in case something happens in the future.

>>311214
Already done.

So what to do?
Explore Neo Arcadia?
Or scour the ruins of Neotis for survivors?

explore a bit. if they don't survive for 5 minutes then they wont survive at all. try for things that would help you find them.

>>311219
Search for scrap metals and tech in the destroyed city.

Scour the city for tech and survivors. If we find anything alive we can use that failure against Hope next time we see her.

>>311271
Okay, that's it. Yandere Goddess girlfriend is go.

>>311298
Seconded.

I mean, think about it. Your one eyed sponsor just said you had to counter her, not kill her. And she honestly looks just, sort of lost. And hell, opposing gods that start fighting always end up at least managing to coexist. If there was no hope, and everyone was all full of terror all the time, you'd have nothing to do after all. I hear eternal boredom isn't fun.

Look around in the city.

So, how about that Hope goddess? You did a terrible job hiding how hard you were crushing on her; it was cute how tongue-tied and unsure you were when talking to her.
Who knows? Maybe next time you can actually flirt with her~

Vresch should be fine, as well as anybody in hardened locations. If Hope did THAT much damage then she would have destroyed both herself and her power source.

>>311513
Pfft, that's hardly ruined at all. Start putting out fires and saving people - dead people can't be terrified.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious to all of us.

So now, check those ruins for survivors or treasure or magical cyber demons or scrap or what have you.

>>311513
Wow, why is it on fire? This has to be recent. Get in there and see what you can do about it.

yeah uh, this is the kind of stuff that goes in a discussion thread.

>>311523
so, if you the goddess of hope and the god of despair have a child, what would it be?
(I am joking really, lets not ship with the crazy)

Ragnarode:
You gained your divinity when fate gave it to you. You have lost your divinity when other gods took it... how exactly did they perform such an act and did you see what they did with your divinity afterwards? (did they absorb it?)...

And you say you lost your divinity, but how. You look to be as divine as always, you haven't reverted to a human.

>>311538
I still have the Divinity, I just can't access it. Maybe if I come into contact with the Crystal...

>>311548
NOOOOOOOO!
The last time anyone came into contact with that crystal, they were trapped for over a decade. With Rastin. You don't want that. Trust us.

>>311550
uh no,trap happened due to Xom 'helping'

>>311548
did you lose access to it spontaneously (was it due to the routing of your people?) or was it actually taken from you by force (by other gods?)?

>>311538
