Where is "here" anyway? It was implied this place was inside Erin's head but that doesn't seem like the case anymore. What happens to us now anyway?

Erin, activate your enhanced senses, to see if you can make any sense of this place.

...right. Well, aside from hinting at the fact that Red is controlling Pride, and that there's a third person you're fucking with, none of that was particularly helpful.

You feel like giving us any specifics, or should we just leave while you're being useless?

Blue definitively does not go well with that abdomen, though the Cybernetics does compliment that body well..Hmm.

Also it seems that these guys are behind everything, try and grab red boy there and give him a squeeze in your new, stronger clawarms.

>Why is Erin's abdomen that weird blue color?
It's supposed to be a mantis version of her, which for whatever reason seems to have resulted in her jeans being transmuted to some kind of denim abdomen-cover.

hm, so there is a fourth orb that these three don't know about and it's fucking with them the same way that one voice has been fucking with everyone around us trying to get them to kill each other, good to know.

So is there even any real point to us being here or did you just stop by to say we're failures?

Because they aren’t designed to fly on those heights… and if it keeps keep growing in this speed it will hit space pretty soon.

Well, yes. I started tinkering with it when Erin and the rest went down into Z4.
…wait, you started designing a weapon before we even met him!? How-
>Another question for Wiz: How did he know it's an AI?

None of us are who we said we were, are we?
Cut the bullshit!
I am Wiz.
Not what I meant!
I’m simply here to finish a job, nothing more.

Insert This is getting silly, stop it!_

...ok then quick question for wiz.

If he knew all this shit was going to happen, why didn't try to fix this thing before it grew to such power. Like for example going down to Z4 to scatter pride's bones to stop the crazy A.I. from gaining the power of a freaking GOD. I mean I understand the idea of luring out your prey but I don't think giving the prey a freaking nuke is a good way to go about that.

Don't really care if he knows things or not. The main issue to ask is: Can he finish it, and will he attempt to betray us. Because so long as he gets the job done it really doesn't matter so long as the end is there.

Knowing that a ridiculously powerful malevolent ancient alien space reptile lies chained at the planet's core, does not imply one has the capability to find the elevator there, or that they know a small set of bones removed (somehow?) are the key to restoring the asshole to full power.

Knowing enough to destroy said reptile is not equivalent to knowing how to stop his rise to power.

That said Wiz is totally evil and will screw everything up at the last minute. Trust me, we know these things.

I'm still bitter at Pride revoking our admin status. That was our idea! We just bungled the command line. :(

>>540278
...Kyra, relax. He's someone who reincarnated. The root cause of all this is a powerful artifact that was incompletely destroyed eons ago, and he must be one of the people who was involved in the attempt.

Ok wiz you are now on my 'you are evil list/demigod list' or you ate just a timelord that came to fuck with us so unless you have a cap ship in orbit can you just tell us what you know?

Your ignorance is still needed, but I can tell you this, I was… “persuaded” to do this job by a person I met a very long time ago… someone you know quite well, voices. And I’m inclined to finish it. Now… about that tower… it seems to have grown a bit while we talked. It’s going to hit space in just a few minutes... hmmm… I don’t think we can enter it while it’s growing like this.

Kyra, I think you'd better calm down and drop the issue before you find out something that you wish you had never known. Or do you already know what he means, and are more shocked that he knows? Oooh, are you a robot that gained sapience?

Wiz is trustworthy, I think. If you want to be sure, ask if the person he's talking about from long ago is one of our friends. He just said we "know them quite well", which could be one of our enemies too.

Ask him if his voice chip is malfunctioning. Sounded like a stutter there.

As for the tower... well, if we can't get into it while it's growing, then we'll have to get in after it's finished. Which means entering space, right? Are there any space-capable vehicles anywhere we can hijack?

> People like me and Kyra aren’t born at all.
Sounds like Wiz is aware of the true nature of this reality.

I'm inclined to say he's legit, Kyra. And even if he's not, generally the only way to get past these things is to let them play out. So calm down.

>stutter
Hey, watch that. Unless you're Serki's remote bot or something...

wait he stuttered... IS HE THE DAMN RED ORB?!

>>540389
Oh, I think I figured it out, great. Stop giving us hints! Were we in the previous timeline at all? We can't remember it, but we used to remember stuff that happened before a rewind.

How about we cover all our bases. Have someone steal a ship, and have it ready in case we need to evac from the top of the tower. Nev should be good for that task, and assaulting the tower with Erin and Tyros should prove a good distraction. Should Wiz get involved or does he want to work on something else?

I say head to the tower but send another team to nab a spaceship to swoop in and evacuate the tower team right after Pride is defeated. I have a feeling that without his power it's near certain the tele-portal down will shut down and the tower'll start collapsing. Send whoever is the best pilot we have along with Nev to infiltrate the spaceport and steal the spaceship.

We're gonna need mind shields for everyone on both teams that could be susceptible to Pride's mind-screwing, plus one or two extra to use on any Morgani encountered on the way up we'll want a chat with. The tower team's also gonna need space suits. I don't trust Pride to keep the air in up there if he thinks he's gonna lose, and when he kicks the bucket it definitely isn't gonna stay in.

>>540372
So if Wiz and Kyra weren't born, what are they and where did they come from? They're more or less biological so not robots. So... Clones? Ones with implanted memories and personalities?

Did you consider that if we did do that Pride could just break the top off the tower and put that into orbit? Or make the entire tower above the blown out levels levitate. Or he's already made the tower indestructible. Besides we don't even have enough explosives to attempt it so it's a moot plan anyway.

alright it sounds we're going with both plans. One team to get the space vehicle and the other to walk through the front door... preferably in the power armor. Really hope that building has working elevators.

Insert Fuck the police_

how close are we to the building? cause if you're in walking distances I say just land this thing somewhere heard for them to follow (you do have a smaller car) and just hoof it on foot. (A person is a lot harder to find then a flying car)

If you're not close by then just try to loose them. If you take this route remember, YOU have a smaller car, that makes you a harder target and you can fit into places they can't. So use that you your full advantage.

I'm surprised they aren't just trying to shoot you out of the sky.

We're pretty close to the building so we could probably just evade them long enough to get there. On the other hand, I'd really like to see you leap out of the vehicle with that sword and disable each of their cars before they can open fire.

"Annihilated?" Since when does the police force have that kind of weaponry? Probably since soon after Pride arrived, but call them out on it anyway to stall a bit. Then oblige them by landing... right in the Morgani tower lobby!

Dive at a sharp angle, take evasive maneuvers and get behind buildings. You're in a small nimble car and they're driving heavy APCs so get into where they can't fit. And don't hesitate to smash through windows and drive right through buildings if you know there's space inside for it.

If I find an open window… if it’s unguarded… if nobody is inside the room… and if the windows can even be opened at all. That’s a lot of ifs.

Put his helmet on your hand and stick it out around the corner of the box like a puppet and imitate his voice. That plan has never failed in the entire history of plans!

If you can? slip the helment next to the Morgani guys. Infighting for the win!

any way you could make it that the Morgani guys took out the cop? if not, how quick can you get dressed into something else and remember you can save time by wearing his clothes over your's.

Oh, even better. Grab the morgani goon on the couch, tase him, and let both parties discover the scene. Make it look like they attacked eachother, but stay hidden.

Insert In the middle_

What are you talking about it's totally fine. Just sneak around while everyone's distracted.

Move a box around with you so they don't spot you. Shit, we should've just pulled a Solid Snake and used a box as a disguise.

well you may not be in the best position right now you do have to admit this is a really good distraction. See if you can't find a way to use this to sneak into the building.

This'd be a great distraction if you weren't stuck in the middle of it. As it is both sides are looking right where you're hiding, so if you try to sneak out they'll spot you. Preferably gonna need a another way out of this.

You still got that slice-anything sword? If so then cut a hole in the wall of the building or the pavement below big enough to crawl through, then pull a crate or box over the hole to cover your exit. This is the best way since neither side will know you were here.

If swording your way out is not an option then your best bet is to break out on the police side, since they aren't armored up or have heavy weapons, and they're gonna take cover behind the building soon to avoid Morgani fire. Call up Jara and have her be your eyes in the sky, watching the police and Morgani forces for an opening to speed-crawl out on the police side without the Morgani side spotting you.

>You still got that slice-anything sword? If so then cut a hole in the wall of the building.
Luckily, there was just an almost empty storage room on the other side of the wall… and with them distracted and looking the other way it’s a piece of cake sneaking toward the entrance from another direction.

…what are those idiots doing now?
Um… seems like they are having a shootout with the police.

Heck if I know.

Since it seems that everyone is after our head now and no one knows that the guy is actually on our side so if we were to just pop out and say hi, people might figure out that he's playing for our team and then there goes our groups checkbook. However if we can somehow get him alone so we can talk to him, then maybe we can see if you can't sneak us into the building.

Or maybe speak to him over the radio? I'm not sure if he's connected to the network.

Tell Dyne to NOT say this out loud, but there's a weapon that'll kill the god Pride, if you can get it up to him. You're here to scout the tower to find a way to get it up there. Don't say you have the weapon on yourself, just in case anyone you don't want to hear that is listening.

Then tell Dyne to tell the lady that he isn't sure yet, but he'd rather not speak out in the open, and ask her to help him carry this totally not suspicious crate of wieners inside.

We were trying to find out what it was… and how to profit on it. Of course, the last few years have been more about trying to contain it and keeping the Empire from knowing about it.
Wait, why have you been keeping it from the Empire if you’re trying to keep it locked up?

Nothing really interesting you don’t already know… except the weird connection to that new ice cream they are selling… what was it called…
The Wizard Lizard Blizzard? That’s odd; Wiz gave me that recipe… what’s the connection?
The lab boys said something that it was the perfect mix to trap and transport that weird blue energy from underground.

>Third, ask what the hell's on that board.
I don’t really know… let’s see… it’s a diagram without any numbers… and a picture of that machine we were building… the rest looks like some random scribbles.
What machine?
One of the lab boys got a crazy idea how to control that power that’s underground. I don’t really know how it was supposed to work but we were never able to finish it. The project was cancelled when shit hit the fan… but I guess the remains are still on floor 777.
>Fourth, ask if there's any other non-controlled personnel around.

Maybe because of high intelligence?
No, that would rule you out… and besides, the lab boys have gone nuts to.

On top of the tower? He’s been using the elevator he constructed in the back… mostly to transport all those explosives up there… never actually seen him use it himself…

Haha seriously? They're trapping souls in ice cream and then selling it to people? Let me guess, everyone who's eaten any is now being controlled by Pride. Or maybe it's the opposite.

Tell her the last people who built the thing went mad with power and force pretty much all civilization underground and knock them back into the dark ages. Except mantises for some reason, apparently they could still live on the surface when the other 3 races couldn't. Not sure why either, immunity, the surface wasn't as bad as they said it was, plot hole, who knows.

Uh. Not to be overly alarming, but the blue eyes on the machine drawn on the whiteboard just turned blood red... and started bleeding. ...Yeah. For safety's sake I suggest everyone get out of this room right now. And would Mrs. Morgani please stop pointing that gun at Erin. It's making me nervous.

Ask Susan if she could get you a Morgani guard uniform, along with false credentials to match. Perhaps even all-access clearance as well.

Also ask how many and what kind of explosives were being sent up to the tower top? Conventional ones or stuff on a WMD scale?

Suggest to Susan that right now she ought to get up to floor 777, load up all the machine's parts and copies of the research data, and get them out of the city ASAP. I have a strong feeling that after Pride kicks the bucket we're gonna need that machine to cap the soul well and keep the planet core from going up like a supernova.

She should also grab a canister or two of the soul-charged ice cream, for testing purposes later.

Let’s try it out, shall we?

Insert Telling someone about your plan isn’t the best plan_

>>541364
Grab the top of the elevator! Or maybe you could jump down to the "falling" part of the elevator, grab the other sword, and wait until your ascent stops so you can grab onto the side of the building and cut an entrance into it. There's air in there, most likely. Probably safer than being out here, plus you'd have a sword again!

Wait, how did that one shot cut off half the elevator? Shouldn't it have just blown a hole in it? Are you in a two-dimensional elevator?!

Darn, we need a new sword now.

>too small, from base
Mecha?

>vibration attack
flipping over onto the top of the elevator would be the natural fix.

>celebratory fireworks
Why exactly would you have any reason to celebrate? You'd have killed someone who wasn't a god, which is a meaningless accomplishment for a god. And you'd have prevented yourself from being killed, condemning yourself to continue existing, forever, which isn't what you want.

Dammit. I figured there wouldn't be enough air up here earlier and suggested breaking a space suit, but with the way everything is blowing your armor off it very likely would have been too if you did wear one.

You can't continue up any higher without at least an air tank and mask, and most likely an entire pressure suit, or you're just gonna pass out. Forget riding what's left of the elevator up. You're gonna have to get inside the building.

Jump down as fast as you can, land on the severed section of the elevator and grab the sword. Slice the doors out, wait until the severed section nearly reaches the apogee of its upward motion, then cut an opening into the building as quick as you can. It ought to work 'cause the severed elevator section still has its upward momentum and will expend it before gravity starts to pull it back down the elevator track.

>Launch from base
Ah, that must be Serki's power armor, most likely piloted by Tyros. Here's hopin' that it's jump jets are extra robust.

Speaking of power armor, you need to tell Tyros to suit up and go out to eliminate the Morgani power armor escorting some incoming dropships. They're gonna kill everyone here otherwise. Then Nev and Wiz can shoot down the dropships themselves.

Well the idea is to wait until your organic brain dies naturally, but yeah you can accelerate the process.

Yeah there's at least 14 ships armed with escorts, lets just say that we need a quick cauterization job or slap on something because we gotta go!

>…wait… wouldn’t that… um… k-kill me?
(According to many philosophies at least), you won't die from the process if it happens gradually enough for each replacement part to integrate with the rest of your mind before the next one is put in.

By the way, wizard is from something functionally like an alternate future, and his brainware is mechanical enough that he apparently considers himself not-quite-sapient (though the existence of such an opinion as something other than a pre-programmed response would itself imply sapience...)

well Nev has a space worthy vehicle so you guys actually have 2 cars now but you need to take out the power armors coming this way so Nev and Wiz can get in close to pick you guys up and wiz needs those armors gone so he can grab his compensation gun and blow some of the transports out of the sky.

WAIT! Wait, wait, wait! Tyros can't take the power armor out there now! There's a ship firing a big red beam down at the base that Nev said neutralizes power armor. Though he could still take shots at the Morgani forces from inside the base entrance or from any other tunnels that lead outside.

This does mean that the power armors escorting the Morgani forces won't be able to get near the base while that beam is on, but I dunno how much that'll help us. Even if Nev brings the ship into the beam to fire on the transports it won't keep the power armors from firing on him from outside the beam. And I'm guessing that Nev trying to take on the ship firing the beam would be a bad idea, so that's out unless somebody has a clever idea.

Hmmm.... Maybe there's a way to bend or reflect all or part of the beam at the power armor escorts? Hey, Serki, Jara, you got any ideas if that's possible to do with anything that's in the base?

What options do we have for escape tunnels out of here? I know the whole planet is riddled with abandoned mining tunnels and shafts so there ought to be at least a few that could be broken into from the base.

Somebody call Kyra, or get over to her if she's not taking calls, and tell her that a fuck-ton of Morgani forces are about to land on our doorstep. She's either gonna have to finish up on Erin in record time or get her stable for transport.

Serki, what'd you mean by "self" earlier, when you were thinking about that android you're building? "Soul," perhaps? And transfered from whom?

Also, I suspect that your bot is going to eventually become Wiz after having a soul stuck in, followed by pseudo-time-travel shenanigans, and then replacing most of his bot body bits with grown human bio bits. So if you could slap it together to the point it can move and follow on its own that'd be swell.

And before I forget: Somebody please strip the outfits from those captured Morgani guards. We may need them for disguises later.

Okay, I think I figured out how Wiz knows what's happening: He's somehow using the universal rollback that activated for Liz when she died way back when we first met her; The one that reset everything but her memories. How far back it's resetting, what activates it or how he gets attached to it I don't know, but it fits.

Let's see... the tunnel going straight up isn't really gonna work for us, neither is the one going straight down. We don't have the climbing gear for it, so only Tyros would really be able to go through those. Unless there are elevators? If there are elevators I can assume that the tunnel up goes towards another entrance in the city, and there will be enemies coming down it now that they know we're in here. Going downhill in any way is a good plan, but they could destroy the elevators to trap us down here so howabout we take the one heading away from the city?

If there is an elevator for the tunnel going almost straight up, sabotage it yourselves. Or collapse the tunnel I guess. First priority is escaping pursuit.

Bulge? …please tell me you didn’t actually-
Oh, she did~
What bulge?
Um… aren’t the whole edge of the world a bit more important than my bulges?

Hey! What the fu-fu-fuck!? You’re not supposed to be he-he-here! …wait, it was you wh-wh-who destroyed the main power line to th-th-the city, wasn’t it?
[Main power line have received major damage! All exits from this direction was also damaged at the same time]
Um… wops?
What are you even doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be taking care of the Alpha? Has Phi failed in his mission? It was supposed to help you with the destruction of the Alpha.
…I have no idea what’s going on anymore…
Wait… who are you guys?
Just delete them and cre-cre-create some new ones on the surface. These are quite clearly mal-mal-malfunctioning anyway.

Insert Empty the trashcan_

we got flushed underground by an enemy counter attack to an attack we just made and where regrouping before we tried plan B, however they found us quicker then we thought they would so we blew the tunnels to stop them from following us.

You three wouldn't happen to know where an exit is would you.

>>541888
Hey, you jerks said there were no other Aether Forms. Now there's Phi and Alpha? I'm guessing Phi is Wiz and Alpha is the purple crazy AI. Anyway, you can blame Alpha for this. Phi helped us get this far, but Erin still got her leg shot off so we're kindof stuck now.

We just need to get back on the surface. No malfunctions involved here.

Oh, Erin should wrap herself in the bedsheet.

She's got a dick! Lets get that out of the way for future shenanigans. It's removable, detachable, and it can produce it's own lubricant.

They were right though, who are these additional programs!

Quick blast those ball things before they delete you!

...Kyra, that makes two of us. And Jara, from top to bottom, that's Tau, Sigma, and Upsilon, all AIs. Erin and us met them in her dreams the last two or three nights. Never expected them to actually show up here. Really, I got no idea what the hell is going on, so just roll with it.

Erin, wrap yourself in the bedsheets to keep warm. You could also try cutting a hole through them to make a crude poncho. Or do both if there's enough fabric.

And dammit, Sigma! Deleting and recreating right off the bat is not the proper way to deal with a malfunction! There might be an error in the base pattern or creation system for all you know. Investigate and trace back what caused the malfunction first, then attempt to fix the malfunction or do a workaround before going to the full delete and recreate.

Upsilon, excuse me, but who's "Alpha" and "Phi?" I'm going to assume you're talking about Pride or whatever is pulling his strings and Wiz, respectively. If that's the case then Phi did help us in many ways, including giving Erin a weapon that supposedly would kill Pride. (Erin, please hold that God-killer Nerf gun up for them to see.)

Erin got partway up Morgani Tower before the elevator was disabled, followed soon after by her leg getting shot off. She couldn't continue in that state and Tyros had to med-evac her back to base to get a new leg before she could try again. But they got back not long before the Morgani raid. They would have died up there if it weren't for us warning them of the power armor disabling beam and to escape down here.

Also, how the fuck does Tyros' power armor beam hitting the primary city power conduit blow a hole in the Universe and leave a glitch-void instead of just a huge crater? Seriously, power armor is OP as fuck but it's not that OP.

And if you're considering deleting everyone here, could you please exercise some finesse instead? Just wipe their memories of this encounter, plunk in some of a long boring trip through the tunnels, then edit their coordinates to where they would have exited to the surface if the tunnels were still here. Do a time skip to match and that'll be it.

>>541933
Seriously? You're saying shoot the god-like AIs? That's dumber than shooting Pride with the brain-gun. So everyone please don't do that.

It's probably something Pride did. Heads up, something's in the snow off to the left. Which is... in front of you, I suppose.

Radio Nev or Wiz and tell them your new location so we can get picked up and then get on top of that tower. Who has the anti-pride nerf gun?

So apparently the power line previously replaced heat that goes... somewhere.

Anyway, there is something orange hovering above Tyros, and maybe another thing buried under the snow.

By the way, about the tower, if it does reach (or already has reached) space, then wouldn't we theoretically be able to shoot the top and have the debris go into orbit rather than drop downwards onto the city?

There is something directly above you guys as well.

and now I feel awkward

>>542015
I thought you said you didn't have it on you, before? Well, nuts. We're gonna have to drop by the base to grab it. The dropships have left by now so we should be able to.

Take a break if you want, man.

Well, it looks like we're gonna have to make a trip back to the base. Hopefully they thought the anti-Pride gun actually was a Nerf gun and didn't take it back with them.

I doubt they left the base unguarded, since y'all escaped and they don't want you doubling back for anything. Gonna have to sneak in, probably via one of the other mining tunnels that weren't collapsed. And to do that means Erin is going to need a replacement leg first, so we need a medical facility for Kyra to do her work. Anybody got any ideas on anyplace with those we could possibly reach?

Are those ships in the distance returning to Morgani Tower or did they just lift off and are coming this way? 'Cause the latter means big trouble even if Nev gets here in time to pick y'all up.

I have a feeling that ship with the power armor neutralization beam is going to be trouble later. Anybody got any idea what'd be needed to shoot it down or disable it? I doubt Tyros could shoot it down from on the ground but maybe he could. I dunno what that power armor's weapons are capable of.

And why is it snowing, anyway? Or maybe I should be asking why it never snowed on this planet before. Some form of planetary weather control system?

Take off as long as you need to, if you feel you need to. We can wait.

>I have a feeling that ship with the power armor neutralization beam is going to be trouble later. Anybody got any idea what'd be needed to shoot it down or disable it?
That’s quite clearly a combat vessel… um… I don’t think we got any weaponry powerful enough to take it down… the only way I can think of is if we got onboard somehow.
>maybe I should be asking why it never snowed on this planet before. Some form of planetary weather control system?
Well the city got an artificial weather control…
It doesn’t snow because this planet orbit doesn’t allow it to snow… at least not this part of the planet. I don’t know about the unpopulated parts.

>well there's a bunch of blue dots in the background again... are they just heading back to the tower or are they getting closer to us?

well the tower just blow up and I think Jara may have been fantasying about you.

So you think this will make it easier to get back to the base since THERE base just blow up or no. also I think you guys should split up again one team to get Erin a new leg and the other to sneak back to your base (if it's still there) and see if you can't find the gun.

Yep, there's a bomb, and killer robots. What's the signal disturber do? Defuse the bomb first, then we deal with the robots. Can you tell what sort of sensors they have?

Why can't Wiz come? Do you have some sort of EMP weapon that would wind up killing him if you used it? Or do you just not want him to see Erin's room?

Think he's afraid of Wiz, either him backstabbing him or because of all the past/future business creeping him out.

Or it could be because of something that harms robotics, Wiz is still a good friend and hurting him is wrong.

well they didn't blow up the base for whatever reason but they did leave a 'welcome back' present of sorts. What do you know about the robots and how far away are you form Erin's room?

>Oh we'll get you out, we don't want you to die because we messed up.
Good to hear. I’ll wait by the car.

>[switch to Nev]
>Are you interested in Erin for the person she is now, or for the person you knew who originally owned that body?
I… I still have some lingering feelings for old Erin… even if I now know she was a lying jerk… I can’t really accept that she was like that. But that doesn’t mean I’m not interested in the current Erin… it’s just… I don’t know how much of the interest I have for her is from old her or new her… I… I’m a bit emotionally confused right now, to be honest… things have changed so fast, you know…
>Also yes, generally being a nympho is an issue, not that I really agree she is. She seems to be less sexually charged than Kyra.
Well, Kyra is actually a diagnosed nymphomaniac… there’s a reason she haven’t had a working relationship beyond sex with anyone. I… I don’t really know how her relationship with Serki is going to end up, but she’s really frustrated right now, trying to keep herself in check. I can feel it.
>It's up to you if you think you can handle it, but uh, don't be hasty either.
…you’re right. We’ve been rushing things a bit thanks to the current situation, haven’t we? I need to take it easy… figure out how I actually feel about all this…

Now… um… before I pick up the gun… err… can you guys keep a secret? It’s… something a bit embarrassing… but I can’t leave it here…

Insert Wah! Emotions!_

>>542378
Depends on what the secret is. We might be able to keep it... Is it a maid outfit?

Also, uh, considering some things we learned I wouldn't be surprised if Erin wants to completely redo her image. Maybe that'll help you figure things out.

We've seen horrific things, we've seen a stitched together corpse that was intended to be a fuck toy of an old aging man. Anything you have is pretty insignificant compared to that.

Its a sex toy, isn't it?

Erin isn't a nymphomaniac so much as a snarkomaniac.

By the way, there appear to be wires protruding from behind your computer that weren't there before, though it is probably just one of those bombs that our signal disruptor is stopping.

depends on the secret, if it's something that could destroy/change your life or at least of how others see you, we have a good track record there but most everything else we usually let slip or at least start hinting heavily to others just to see there reactions to when they actually find out. Your call here Nev we're just giving you fair warning.

Well, normally one of us would have eventually blabbed if you had just taken whatever it is, but since you specifically asked us to keep it secret we'll definitely keep it a secret. Unless not knowing about it puts others at risk or something. And I'm guessing it's nothing so base as a sex toy or your porn stash, so what is it?
>>542391
There's also multiple faint lines of text spelling out "DO ELECTRIC SHEEP DREAM?" floating in the black void beyond the rooms, but those were there the last time we were here so don't worry 'bout them.

Check if there are any other bombs hidden in your room and defuse them before leaving. Presumably they also hid bombs in Jara's room the same as yours. I'm assuming that won't be a problem for you, right? They don't have triggers with sensors that can detect you through floors and walls, right?

Nice find. It would have been messy if I didn’t disable it.
>Presumably they also hid bombs in Jara's room the same as yours. I'm assuming that won't be a problem for you, right? They don't have triggers with sensors that can detect you through floors and walls, right?
They seem to have a rather short sensor range… I’m guessing they are supposed to trigger in unison if you’d used one of the normal entrances to the base.
>There's also multiple faint lines of text spelling out "DO ELECTRIC SHEEP DREAM?" floating in the black void beyond the rooms.
Do sheep dream? Hmm… now when I think about, when did I last dream? I can’t really remember… odd…

>It’s a sex toy, isn't it?
…Do everything have to be about sex for you guys?
>Is it a maid outfit?
Really…
>I'm guessing it's nothing so base as a sex toy or your porn stash, so what is it?
It’s a… um… It’s a… err… well… I u-used to call him Viridis… he… I g-got a thing where I have p-problem sleeping alone, alright? He helps me s-sleep… that’s all…

Insert So… it’s a teddy mantis?_

I wonder if Claire ever replaced her Mantis teddy?

Also we don't mind you having a plushie. Plushies are cool.

>>542407
He's adorable! Our previous host had a mantis plush too.

..I'm getting a feeling of that thing, a feeling that it may be important. And if you don't think that makes seance ask yourself what has recently?

Anyways I suggest you keep that thing safe regardless.

That teddy glows.. Seriously, look at it. A blue shimmer all around it.

Wanna bet that this IS Claires teddymantis?

What? Like bowties? …eh, I wouldn’t call them cool…
>He's adorable!
That, on the other hand, I can agree on.
>That teddy glows.. Seriously, look at it. A blue shimmer all around it.
…I don’t see anything.

>I suggest you keep that thing safe regardless.
Of course I’ll keep him safe… I’ve had him since… um… as long as I can remember, so I’m not going to just throw him away. Besides, he’s supposed to make me feel safe and… err… I’ve blabbered on for too long. Let’s just get the Nerf gun and get out of here.

Finally, I was starting to feel cold out here. Did you get everything you came for?
Yes.
Sweet, now let’s go.
