Let’s see… We now know that this is all an experiment and I’m a big part of it. I’m made by part from some “god” called Lizbeth. Someone named Claire failed something which caused something called the “cause” to do the “event”, whatever that means. Oh, and apparently the “cause” is the leader of the woodsy lords and the rust makers… which I’m pretty sure the voices called the cogs and purity earlier.

Long story short, lizbeth had us and the vessel, which was powered by some billions of souls and as a result became all powerful (and all perverted) Claire eventually destroyed it, we couldn't connect, then we woke up in your brain later on.

Another thing of note, Lizbeth has been implied to be "Mother", but if that's the case, there should be nothing to "wake up".

Someone in red, but not Hans? We haven't met them, then. Wait. Those egotistical rantings... Oh for crap's sake, it can't be PRIDE can it? "clad in red"- Pride is a red lizard. That's why he's got bandages, his scales are red, possibly from clawing at himself. We spared Pride's life during Claire's adventures. He must've found some way of avoiding... getting stuck in the Vessel's containment- no, oh god. Alyssa didn't bring him out with her. Pride escaped on his own. Shadack Wyrmeye. To think, he's the final boss. He wasn't even lying when he said he was the God of Death, was he? Why has he been such a pushover until now? Was he just biding his time? Or lulling us into a false sense of security until he had a perfect plan to destroy everything? Eh, maybe he's still a pushover and this is a desperate plea for attention so we can destroy the Vessel properly. The last piece is us, by the way. You have to kill us, somehow.

Tell Pride that we'll do our best to end his suffering. Then kick him off the building and get to Nev's car. If Wiz can start sniping the creatures, that'd be great. The fewer of them around, the better.

Nope. She's no traitor. I'm guessing her implant that lets her scan brains she used on the stuff in the guns, and that's why she shot it.
Jara is not safe to be around those guns. Serki sure as crap shouldn't have them.

Something is trying to influence your mind. Well, besides us. And it was affecting her- she was talking about whispers or something before.

We gotta get these guns locked up or something, they aren't safe to be around. Wiz might be the only one who can handle them safely- he's missing the parts of his brain that can be affected. At least by us?

Red lizard clad in purple is definitely an accurate description of the Pride-golem who drowned to death like a pussy.

Erin, I hate to say this, but I think you might need to become Lizbeth. Ask Nev if he'll still date you if you change into a Lizard. It means saying goodbye to your breasts. On the other hand, Lizbeth... well, let me quote her creator, Jacob Waechter: "her appearance is based on the highest standard of lizard beauty." So, that unnervingly perfect tail you have now is actually totally appropriate.

Oh, and if the world is destroyed by nanobots, that means the Purity monsters are NOT going to destroy the world. We must oppose the Sons of Steel. It might even be necessary to merge with the Purity monsters? I dunno how you're going to properly become Lizbeth, to be honest. An alternative is that you can find a way to help the Purity monsters become Lizbeth, but I feel like there are crucial pieces contained in you that they are missing.

This dream doesn't at all mean that nanomachines are going to destroy the world. We aren't even the type of psychic that sees the future to begin with.
What this dream means is that someone in out head says that nanomachines are going to destroy the world, and roughly half the factions around seem to have sufficient mind-influencing tech and a desire to 'reconstruct the mother'.
In particular BandageLizard over there was ranting about basically the same message as this dream.

Personally I think this is the fault of whoever gave him that "social therapy" program. It never dealt with his emotional problems in any real way. He needs a therapist, not a hugbox.

Also, Erin, in order to get him out of that catatonic state I think you should just manipulate his emotions to calmness or whatever so that he will actually respond, at least for a while.

Then, don't tell him it's okay and all that nice stuff. It's not okay. He thought you were "his", despite you two never having a real relationship. All you were doing with him was fooling around, and you weren't interested in dating him, because he's was so emotionally crippled, and then everyone told you to stay the hell away from him so you stopped even trying to give him positive feedback. He didn't "lose" you, he never HAD you.

That actually doesn't sound like a bad short-term situation. It isn't as good as it could be since they are still there and can just regenerate instead of wearing eachother down, but it still sounds like a very good chance to do other things while they are occupied with eachother.

On the other hand, if we do go for the fridge secret we most likely won't be able to activate it (if that is even what we want to do), and I doubt our base defenses are good enough for stealing it to do more than change the site of the eventual fight over the secret. Unless... do we have any remotely detonated explosives or other trap materials we can acquire on short notice? If so we might want to sneak over to the fridge location and set up traps that we can use later when we can actually do something about the secret and (near-inevitably) have to fight someone to get to it.

:KyraKAK: Psst, according to Void, Purity was planning to release some kind of plague on the populace but the cogs destroyed their bio labs… They are still probably going to try…
:ArgyleKAK: We have no reason to fight… you have no reason to continue on… but if you do, I’ll melt your tiny little brain with my so called “weird brain powers”. Now leave, before you get lost in the great maze!
:ErinKAK: What maze? This place is just one long corridor…

You really should kill them. It doesn't matter if you aren't human anymore, with your implants. Killing all the "man-machines" would be basically the same thing as what they're saying the "corpse god" did. Which I rather doubt actually happened. I am interested in the history of this planet now though! Was it colonized?

You could use the brain gun first to find out where the bones are... Oh, also ask them how they became "pure" in the first place. It's not like people are born with implants, but did their parents just elect to not give them any? Did they have them removed?

"The grand cog is… was…" implies he is no more. He's dead, jim. KILL THOSE WHO WOULD DESTROY THE WORLD. They do not deserve life, and we are in a position to keep the balance regardless. With the mantis dead, the fleshbeasts lose their orders. With the antenna destroyed, the nanocolonies are likewise undirected. The situation becomes manageable. Oh, and FYI, only the nanocolonies can regenerate like that. The grand cog was not infected, obviously, because he could still THINK LIKE A PERSON.

Think about it though. This is possibly the most pathetic of the factions as it is. It's pretty much one room, only two followers. Not only that but both are diseased, one's on assisted breathing and one's on an IV.

Their efforts to stop us so far wasn't an effort, and he was trying to scare us away by saying he's got a powerful labyrinth and that he could mind blast us. Sure they have the monsters, but we've already found their weakness and Erin's proved to be beating them quite sufficiently.

Uh... well "12645980435" is the string that kept repeating in the background when we were infiltrating Morgani cyberspace. Maybe that's it? Unfortunately, since it was on a loop, we don't know which digit is the first one, meaning there's 10 different permutations to try.

Leave Wiz where he is, Kyra can keep working with the prisoner.

I'm not sure combat is advisable here. Nev isn't suited for it, and Erin is best at dodging shots, not killing quickly at range. I think you'd better close the door.

Also, uh, giving you the voiceproof software seems like a mistake to me. Don't you already have a proven defense against it- thinking about butts? Tyros is more of a worry since he's in heavy armor. If he gets controlled, nobody can take him down nonlethally. Nev is a pushover.

There's those number sequences again. You know, we saw those in VR, and when your optics "malfunctioned".

The 30 digits of binary don't translate to anything. It's a repeating sequence of 15 digits, apparently. 5 digits is enough to represent every letter in the alphabet, so it could be 28,22,18 repeated. If we use the -7 offset we've seen already, that's 21,15,11. Which is vpl. -7 again and you get 14,8,4, which is oie. Is it a fucked-up "lie"?
The other sequence is 51264598043. 11 digits can't be split up evenly, so I have no idea how to convert it into anything. I guess I could split it up into everything that's less than 26, but there's that 0 in there which means either 80 is valid or 04 is valid, and if 04 is valid why is there no 0 in front of the other single-digit numbers?

Could you just radio back to base and pass along those two sequences to someone who's good at decoding stuff?

Go into the leftmost door, tell Nev to stay back for now. There's no telling how close he'd have to get to the soul forge before the voice gets in his head, and one shot from his gun will kill you.

:UnknownKAK: …Personal log number 3, Jake Armitage. The construction of the underground facility was a complete success… and we are planning on digging to the outer core of the planet tomorrow. I can’t even imagine what we’ll find down there, but whatever it is it seems to have invented a super effective cold fusion. On a darker note, something a bit more terrifying happened earlier today. One of the miners lost his arm in an industrial accident… nothing we can’t replace, so we don’t need to worry about him. The arm, on the other hand it... it came back to life… and started mutating. It grew tentacles and eyes, screaming about “The glory of flesh” and tried to attack whoever was closes. It reminded me of the machine we sent down here all those weeks ago… can there be a connection?

>Is that a change in the gravity gradient? That rotating platform changes your reference frame so you can walk down the net hall?
Well, yes… kind of.
>Someone could ambush us from behind that door too, so be sure to get an eye in there before we pass it.

It was able to “infest” and take over the body of one of the research staff down here and in the confusion it was able to release two other samples, the mutating flesh and one of the “possessed”… if you want to call it that… one of the “possessed” AI’s.

Oh right yeah, Elatros Wyrmeye- Wait. You're CLAIRE?! No, no, part of you is Claire. Aether Form Upsilon. Still, it is appropriate that you would be the one to finish Claire's job. She was a mantis turned into a lich as part of a plot by Envy and Lust to try to take over the world by stealing the Vessel from Lizbeth who was in a magical coma after trying to mess with how reincarnation works, and Pride showed up too for some reason during that crisis. At this point Lizbeth had gone completely insane and was eating the afterlife... oh, that explains why her bones are here. Claire wound up trying to prevent further crises- and put Lizbeth to rest- by destroying the Vessel, but apparently there are 8 parts, not 7. The 7 parts we knew of were merely the ones attuned to Lizbeth. We are the final part. You must finish things, and destroy us. Destroy the core. Or maybe you can just dissipate it gradually? You'll need Lizbeth's help, I imagine, since historically I think the Vessel pieces are immune to non-magical harm? I'm preeeetty sure that resurrecting Lizbeth is what we want to do? She should be able to at least tell if destroying the core outright is a good idea. For all we know this is the afterlife, and only part of it is horrible and nightmarish. I know at one point it wasn't a bad place! We talked to Graven, he was happy with Maggie!

Also watch out, the nightmares are coming. I can see them, in the dark. Prepare to defend yourself, but uh, I'm not sure if the things will try to attack you... they might be manifestations of us? I'll try protecting all of you anyway. Oh, you might want to give the bridge a poke to see if it's solid.

You did that all by yourself, alone, without our help. You had to drag us into your head just from nervousness, but all we told you is to do what you already wanted to do.

You know who wasn't a person? Lisbeth Ssus. She was a wisecracking automaton who only through dedicated effort over many years did we sculpt a personality for her. Her experiences, her loves, her losses, all those changed her from a thing to someone who cares and feels, and deserves to exist. We didn't need to do that for you, because you were already there. You never robotically followed our orders or unquestioningly agreed with our commands.

You even regained your memory! To say you aren't anyone, or anything, is a complete lie, and you know that ghost is a complete liar, and a jerk to boot. You know that because she is you. If you had never experienced amnesia, had never decided to clean up your life and had never gotten over the hardships and abuse in your past, then you would be the ghost standing here talking to you.

That is actually a good question actually, though in general we should try and figure out who she is. The main thing is why should we care what we have that no one else has. Does it make you different? I mean aside from us I suppose, we are unique and all, but I don't believe she is meaning us.

Just scan the bones, first.

Try to determine age, composition (Liz was a construct, so her bones shouldn't be fully organic), sex, and if all the pieces came from the same individual.

Also try to determine if any of that matches the bone samples we stole from the cogs and the pure.

Also scan for the stresses and energies in those chains, and what they're made of.

And scan for energy sources.

I dispute that.

Besides, fully organic bones don't last this long. They either never had the same composition as bones, they've been altered since she died for preservation, or they've been protected by some kind of time magic or sci-fi stasis.

Nevermind the fact her bones shouldn't be here at all according to time paradoxes. (According to conflicting canon Liz's bones should either still be in her living body at this point, or turned to ash during Claire's adventures).

...Pride wasn't part of the vessel in Claire's time- only the original golem had that sort of connection. The crystals are the only vessel pieces, aside from us. If we're even part of the Vessel? That's still unclear, because Pride thinks we're not. Anyway, in Claire's time, Pride was just in line to inherit the power of the vessel, and we destroyed all seven pieces of it before he could do that. There's no reason for Pride to be everliving. Not even Lizbeth was. This isn't real!

We're in Pride's DREAM? He dreamt he inherited it, after he killed Alyssa in Claire's dream. So I guess he made this dream-world via the dream of the vessel? I don't know, none of this makes any sense. Maybe it's just some stupid True Illusion which can only be dispelled by proof that it's not real. Try to disbelieve, Erin.
[disbelieve the True Illusion]

Or maybe we're dreaming. Maybe WE inherited the Vessel after Claire died, but because we couldn't interact with the world the power was just sitting there, eating up all the souls in existence. Maybe we created Pride as an opponent, out of paranoia because he was a loose end in Claire's time. Maybe that's why there's all this evidence of reality not being what it's supposed to be.

Erin, top speed to the exit tunnel. We need eyes on to determine if it's in any way traversable by everyone, just you, or if Tyros will have to break out the heavy plasma to melt everything out of the way. Tyros, get Nevros up and both of you follow as fast as you can. I'd say Ty carry Nev, but that'd likely be slower, what with the armor.

We're also gonna have to plan ahead for the elevator. It supposedly only fits two, but with some aggressive body Tetris three could very uncomfortably squeeze in. Of course Ty'll have to ditch the armor. There's not enough time to take it off proper so slicing it off with Erin's sword would be the fastest. That is, unless it has some kind of ultra-quick removal system built in.

It looks like they already fired at eachother... This wasn't like this before, disbelieve it.

Pride, what are you going to actually do once you get Claire's soul? Also, how come Claire not killing you was an issue, since you've died since then? I would've expected you to have died of old age before she killed herself, since literally everyone else she cared about did. Lastly, how come you're respawning at all? Lizbeth only survived as long as she did because she had True Illusions to keep her alive. If there are respawning rules for whoever controls the Vessel, shouldn't Claire have respawned? Lastly, and this is important, Claire destroyed all seven pieces of the vessel that should have existed. Why are there apparently eight now? Personally, I don't think that Claire is to blame at all. I think you're literally an immortal death god that will respawn regardless of the Vessel being active or not, and the only way you can die is if someone of sufficient power MAKES you mortal, or otherwise disrupts whatever mechanism gives you power.

The two turrets nearest the elevator just fired at each other through the monster, so that ought to be two turrets down. Throw something exactly in between the two other turrets to get rid of them.

Erin should jump up to the elevator first, to make sure that it actually is the elevator up. Ty should throw Nev up, but getting Ty up is the issue. Could he jump up to the busted turret mount, jump to the next on up, then into the elevator? Or could Erin use her sword to slice hand holds into the wall for him to use to climb up?

Hey, I wonder if that rotated gravity effect in the core approach tunnel is in effect here. You know, the one where it works as long as you don't jump off the floor/wall/ceiling/surface. Somebody try walking up the wall. ...Or you're already in gravity shenanigans and real gravity is actually pulling towards the side of the room the elevator is on, so try jumping first to check.

And why didn't Pride put up a countdown clock, as is traditional in these kinds of situations?

Ah. Fourteen pieces, that makes more sense. I thought the vessel pieces were just the focus crystals, and access was based on the soul of the user. Or maybe the body too? It was never clear before. Pride... It sounds like you want to give Claire the power so she can fix things, but you're half mad so you can't explain properly that she needs to be dead first, and you don't actually plan on killing everyone either. Or maybe "everyone" is just you and Claire, so technically it's true? I mean, nobody else has a soul right now, right? The other people we've met are just meat robots.

Alright, Pride, lemme see if I got this straight. You need to find whoever has Clair's soul in order to retrieve the Lizbeth shard attached to it in order to use that shard to give them the power to sever your bind to the "wielding" vessel so you can finally die, right? And the way you'll give whoever it is that power is to either bind them to the vessel bound to you, create a new vessel to bind them to, or tinker with the Lizbeth shard so part or all of the energy flow from the Afterlife though it goes to them, correct? And do whatever you need to do without killing the soul's host body, yes?

If what I thought is at least mostly correct, Pride, then I propose a deal. Get these three safely to the surface, as well as plugging up the elevator shaft so it doesn't erupt in the middle of the city, and I'll tell you who has Clair's soul. Of course you'll keep this lot with you until you're sure I'm not lying, but I can assure you I won't.

And perhaps you could sate my curiosity and say how you went about getting Clair's soul to reincarnate or otherwise pop out on this planet, the one your bones just happened to be in the center of. I have my theories, but I'd prefer to get the explanation straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

Huh. Pride is being controlled by the voice that's been controlling everyone else. It could be Envy. That could be why she let him out during Claire's time? Not as a distraction, not as a fall guy, but as a backup plan- to be so pathetic nobody had it in their heart to kill him, so that he would survive and inherit the Vessel, so that later Envy could control him to indirectly control the Vessel. Except, if that were true, Envy would just want to kill everyone, surely? Right now it seems like the controlling voice just wants to make you suffer, Erin. Revenge on Claire above anything else. Or maybe on both Claire and Lizbeth? Except, killing you isn't part of that revenge, at least not yet.

Anyway tell the others that they don't have to worry too much because apparently the thing you released doesn't want to kill everyone just yet. You're the target of his vengeful feelings.

Oh, that reminds me. Let's go talk to the prisoner. If he's just yelling "what am I", tell him he's a soulless meat robot, but he might be able to get a soul if he helps you.

Pride is the only one who can reincarnate in the way the sins did. The other sins had their relevant parts destroyed since they were inside the Vessel when it was destroyed.

Jara must really like that white vine flower. It's growing all over her room, even in front of her computer screen. That is, unless it's a fake vine and flower used for decor. Still, I wonder why she has so many.

Normally I'd say just wait until Nev and Erin finish, but I suspect that's going to be into the wee hours of the morning. Instead of suffering through all that how about you and Jara move the bed, or at least the mattress, out into the common room. Then you two could talk before going to sleep. But if moving the bed is not possible then maybe you could get earplugs or dial down the volume on your aural implants.
