PREVIOUSLY, ON METAHUMAN RENAISSANCE:
After wrapping up some loose ends during the Week, Dan was finally able to get his planned expedition to Vermont, and enter the Vermont Exclusion Zone. After a day's drive, and then several hours wasting time trying to not get Irradiated, Daniel and co managed to find a hidden Cyrean chamber underground. After entering the chamber, and falling through an in complete floor, Dan discovered a hidden cache of Cyrean technology. Shitloads of Cyrean technology.

>>18937870

You stand up and dust yourself off, and examine the Cyrean cache room. Roxane's headlamp dances around the room as well, limited by her viewpoint from the level above. You realize that this room would be totally dark without her light, and your own nightvision, except for the faint glow of certain Cyrean electronics.

You're no master of appraisal, or anything, but you assume the Cyrean Tech stockpiled in this room is worth tens or hundreds of thousands. If you could sell it on the open market, not just cash it in for salvage, you'd probably be looking at millions. And unless someone steps in in the next five or so minutes it's probably all yours.

>What look at first?

So is /tg/ slow or fast today?

>>18938035
Let's check out the modules first. Assuming we can identify them, see if there's any powers we don't already have and nab a copy for our own consumption.

You're killing me here, guys.

>>18938221
After modules, the armour racks. See if we can shut that helmet dude up.

>>18938228
Take your time, Omega. People need to actually see the thread is up before you start getting responses.

Reassure everybody that we're alive. "I think I just landed face first on a way to repay college debts"

>>18938221

Inventory on the modules are easy. They are placed onto hexagonal pallet like racks in one corner of the room, three of them. Your psi senses can effectively read the embedded data on each module. Most of them, a good half, are the ones you already possess, mostly Bolt and Barrier, but a handful of Sense modules. The rest are fairly common HALO-level modules, though ones that you haven't yet obtained.

As you do inventory, Johnny manages to get the Hammer off its back, and back onto its feet. It almost stands tall enough to be level with the hole. Roxane takes the opportunity to scramble down it using the handholds and get to the floor, and looks around. She whistles in appreciation. "Amazing. It's an undamaged Cache!"

Examining the module storage you find multiple copies of the following modules

>Psi Ram
>Psi Shock
>Psi Burn
>Psi Heal
>Psi Freeze

(Also, pick a number between 1 and 3)

>>18938338

Hence the poorly disguised bumps every 10 minutes.

>>18938406
That Psi Heal would be nifty, since we wouldn't have to dick around with necromancy anymore.

Also, 1.

>>18938428
On the other hand, having psi elemental attacks (Shock, Burn, Freeze) would be pretty sick.

Dan has sufficient Genetic Memory/Cyrean Language/Psychic Senses that if you guys ask, I can tell you what the modules are/do

>>18938558
Sure. Let's get a primer on these modules before we decide on scooping them all up in our arms at once like we're going to try anyway.

rolled 1 = 1

>>18938573
It might be good to check with our memory what the effect of doing multiple modules at once is. Don't want to get data overload or some shit.

>>18938588
This is the largest number of non-redundant modules we've seen and had access to in one place. We haven't exactly had a selection like this before.

>>18938606
I mean the genetic memory stuff, not that we've overdosed before.

>>18938558
Tell us what they do as we absorb each of them.

Unless of course there's some reason we DON'T want to have all of the superpowers?

>>18938642
Also, 3.

>>18938588
>>18938621

Surprisingly, your Genetic Memory lacks health and safety instructions. So you're not exactly sure what happens.

But this issue is easily circumvented by just taking each power in turn, and not literally grabbing ALL THE POWERS at once.

>>18938573

>Psi Ram:
Psychic Battering ram ability. Lobs a giant brick of mass with psychic energy. Deals scattered damage, so it doesn't hurt people so bad, but has Range and Mass for Knockback, so it will send people or objects hit with it flying if they aren't prepared.

>Psi Shock:
Electroshock module favored by Cyrean infiltrators. Limited to touch range, but can be lethal or non-lethal, and also is conductive, so it deals radiating damage to the ground from where you hit. And also conducts through things.

>Psi Burn:
Offensive/Demolitions module. Ranged projectile that burns on impact, and deals greater harm than regular Psi Bolts.

>Psi Heal
Medical healing module. Also only touch ranged, and can't cure diseases or toxins, but will repair bodily damage on the subject.

>Psi Freeze
Basically the reverse of the Burn module. Can damage targets with extreme cold, or do a binding function to slow up their movements and body functions.

>>18938706
All the powers sound pretty useful.
Psi Ram for positioning/breaking someone's momentum and tempo.
Psi Shock/Burn/Freeze for various damage sources and extra utility (conductivity/demolitions/lockdown and control).
Psi Heal as a spare heal. We can rely on our Necromancy less.

Let's nab them one at a time just so we don't get sensory overload. Then get everyone to find a way to stockpile the rest while we examine the rest of the gear here.

>>18938706
We Earthbound now!

Acquire the superpowers, one at a time. If anyone asks we fell on them.

Grab them one at a time, in order I'd say heal, burn, ram, shock, freeze

>>18938797
That's what I was about to say.
All these powers combined with our modular program.
We are going to honest-to-God create Psi Rockin'.

>>18938825
Wait, would it be Psi Rockin' for Dan? The power was based on the one thing the MC loves more than anything.
For Ness, it was Rockin'.
For Lucas, it was Love.

>>18938838
So, PSI Redheads?

>>18938908
Seems a little narrow.

PSI World?
PSI Friendship?

>>18938925
Seems a little "Power of friendship"-ey.

How about PSI Life? Dan seems to love the hell out of living his life, and likes to see other do so as well.

>>18938706

You quietly start whistling to yourself as you pull off a glove. And pick up a module. Its lights flash bright for a second, and you casually gain the ability to telekinetically flip cars, kinda. "So, how we gonna get all this stuff out?" You ask, casually tossing aside the spend module. "Well," Roxy says, "If we can get the Hammer topside again, I can probably rig a pulley system with its winch and pull the stuff up." You nod, taking a second module. "So we need to see if there's a way back up there from here." Roxane nods, and starts looking around the room, the little ball optics of the Hammer doing the same. You just keep on picking up modules, until you're satisfied.

So, you can either go about checking for a way upstairs, or continue examining the cache.

>You've gained, like, a shitload of new powers

(Also, we got a tie on the random number generation picking here. )

>>18939002
Could be misconstrued for a healing power, but PSI Life could work.

>>18938908

I think you mean PSI Science Ladies

rolled 1 = 1

>>18939004
Lets do it fair.

rolled 1 = 1

>>18939004
Let's get this stuff cataloged first before we start moving stuff.

rolled 1 = 1

>>18939004
We can see about a winch after we find out whether or not there's a easy way out of here.

>>18939009
That just makes it even better. No one expects to have their shit ruined by an attack called PSI Life.

>>18939004
Not really contributing to the quest, but I just want to say that the arrangement of that center diagram, the attributes, and the design of it all is absolutely brilliant.

We're now our own flashlight arent we? We'll have to make time to try out all this stuff and mess around with programs later.

lets check any armor or weapons in the stash. And ask Roxy what she might be interested in studying

>>18939027
>>18939045
>>18939045
>>18939073
Looks like we're going with 1?
And lets keep looking around a little bit, see if there's any helmets or jetpacks.

>>18939184
>>And lets keep looking around a little bit, see if there's any helmets or jetpacks
>>Jetpacks

Now im just wondering if combining Psi Ram with our Sight implant is going to give us OPTIC BLAST

>>18939004
Can't we just make a ramp with Earth Evocation or something?

>>18939184
>Psi Ram the ground under our feet
>Jetpack!

>>18939317
Yes, but if we have a Cyrean jetpack we don't have to use Psi powers to do it, so presumably we can be laserblasting while jetpacking, and we'll have an awesome jetpack that matches our chestplate.

>>18939115

Thanks, but I can't take credit. It was designed by a kindly anon for the quest

>>18939162
>>18939045
>>18939184

You decide to remain and categorize more of the items. The Armor all racked is Cyrean sized, unfortunately. It also looks like their standard issue armor, not any of the more specialized variants. Oddly, none of the armor is marked, no identification. You do see a couple rank configurations though, for Squad Commanders and one Squad Captain (Who commands multiple squads). One wall is racked with Cyrean ranged weapons, mostly plasma rifles and pistols, though there is a couple crates of plasma grenades, and also some shard rifles and pistols. The other wall is racked with melee weapons. Knives and swords mostly, but also a decent number of the pikes. You also find a couple of un-attached Plasma Swords, which can be mounted to armor. There are more storage containers for supplies, but other than some Cyrean Rations and unmarked uniforms, they all seem to be empty.

>>18939369
I don't see us using any Cyrean weaponry anytime soon. We already have the knife, and we rely on our powers more anyway.
Let's start getting this stuff set up and find a way out.

>>18939184
>>18939329

You are assuming Cyreans have jetpacks.

>>18939317

>Can't we just make a ramp with Earth Evocation or something?

Floor is Cyrean Synth-crystal. It's also really tough stuff. You could try breaking through the floor to make a ramp though.

>Psi Ram the ground under our feet

Well, Mechanically that's not how knockback works, normally. And I'd also say given the nature of the powers, that's also probably not how it physically works either. Dan isn't pushed back by the ram. Otherwise He'd also be flung, y'know, 4+ yards whenever he used it.

>>18939399
I don't know, I remember a pike serving us well in the museum fight.

>>18939410
>Floor is Cyrean Synth-crystal
We want to go up, not down. There's a whole hill of earth above us. We might need to make the hole in the ceiling bigger though.

>And I'd also say given the nature of the powers, that's also probably not how it physically works either. Dan isn't pushed back by the ram.
Well we simply need to aim the ram at us. Put our hand underneath us, fire a ram and blast ourselves up into the air repeatedly. We don't even need reaction surfaces that way. Just balls of steel. Any Cyrean codpieces around?

>>18939500

>Well we simply need to aim the ram at us

Oh, okay, that will work. You're right, that is ballsy as fuck though. (Not that you guys need to worry about flying~)

>We want to go up, not down. There's a whole hill of earth above us. We might need to make the hole in the ceiling bigger though.

Well, the ceiling is also the floor of a higher level, which also has its own ceiling. You're in an underground structure, so you're surrounded on all sides by crystal. Still can try and break it though.

>>18939553
Can we push the structure OUT of the dirt?

>>18939369
>>18939399

I Dont Know, I kinda want one of those Shard Pistols, theyre pretty cool. And I wouldn't mind A Pike, it was super useful when we were using one in the museum. Plasma sword also sounds interesting. And this is all also stuff that could be cool to make a mounting on the Hammer for.
Aaaaand I just pictured Dan putting a gunrack on it. Maybe Johnny wants something.

>>18939369

If those plasma swords can be mounted to armor can they also be mounted to power armor?

Can we use some of the equipment racks to build a ramp? Empty them of their stuff first naturally.

>>18939633
Keep one of everything and attach them to the Hammer.

>>18939553
I was thinking balls of steel in the more literal sense because we're repeatedly blasting them with a psychic battering ram, but whatever.
Probably want to shatter the crystal after we've made the tunnel/ramp so we don't just bring the whole hill down on our heads.

>>18939633
Yeah, see if Johnny and Roxy want anything. They might want a pistol or something, and Roxy will probably find interesting stuff to tinker with (like that fab).

>>18939593

I would like to see you try.

But unless you can also tip it on its side and shake it until all the stuff comes out, you still have all the heavy stuff stuck at the of a hole.

If you'll recall, Dan and Co entered the underground section into an empty room, then fell through the floor of that room into the current room filled with soon-to-be riches. Roxane and Johnny are currently looking for conventional ways back up now.

>>18939634

Modern power armor, sure, but the Hammer is more like a mini-mecha. It's arms are not shaped properly to place the plasma sword on it, the apparatus more snaps over the forearm of the existing armor.

>>18939633

Well, all the gear found so far is personal weapons, but you could probably rig them to fill the gun-now-tool pods on The Hammer's arms.

>>18939553
Is that crystal itself something that people would pay for?

>>18939707
Wait, we fell thorough the ceiling, and we're being stupid. We should look for the more conventional entrance/exit from this room, like a door.

>>18939798
Look for a conventional exit from room.

>>18939707
Does the plasma sword draw power from the armor it's attached to or does it have it's own power supply?

>>18939369

You begin scrounging through the weapons. Maybe you'll find a heavy Anti-Vehicle Plasma Cannon, or something. You don't, and but instead pick up a shard pistol, check it, then look for some ammunition for it. While doing so, you phrase a question to Johnny, "Hey, man, want any of this stuff?" "Nah, man. I'd prefer the money." He replies. "And if you're gonna go through the trouble of mounting guns to this thing, I'd prefer conventional weapons. Y'know, stuff I can actually read the instruction manual for." You nod, slowly, while slapping in an octagonal canister of ammunition, and disengaging the biometric safety.

Just then, Roxy manages to get the door on the far end of the room open, and pokes her head out. "Hey, there's a ramp back up a level!" She calls back. Well, now you can get out of here. You gesture to Johnny. "Ramp." The optic ball nods, and he starts clunking off. "Ooh, hey, is that a shard pistol?" Roxane says as she walks back up to you. "May I?" She asks, and you offer it. She takes it and examines it, gripping it experimentally. "So light... Y'know, since the light kidnapping, I've been looking for some self-defense a little more substantial and longer ranged than my gloves." You shrug. "It'll come out of your share, but whatever. There's like eight or nine of them here."

>>18939988
Show her the fabber. See what she makes of it. See if it's possible to remove it from the wall/get it working.

>>18939736

Well, kinda, but it would not be worth the time and effort you'd need to start stripping it from the walls and stuff, and transporting it. It's hard to work with using non-Cyrean tech.

>>18939866

Both. It can draw from the internal power supply of armor its hooked up to, but also has its own short-term battery if you're not using powered armor, like if you just use a gauntlet to put on the weapon.

>>18940071
But could we get a finders fee from someone who is interested in salvaging the stuff?

>>18940045
This is a good idea.

>>18940163
>>18940045

"Yeah, yeah, put your new toy away, and have a look at this." You say, putting a hand on Roxy's shoulder and directing her toward the back of the room. She tucks the pistol into her belt and comes with you.

As you first suspected, the Fabricator is build right in to the back wall. This is unusual. Not unheard of, but all the fabricators you're familiar with were standalone models, usually large, trapezoidal, and industrial. This one is not that, and in fact, past the interface system, it almost seems like you could step into the fabrication chamber, like the store kiosks in Dead Space. Roxane gasps in amazement. "Wow! Is this what I think it is." You, being able to read Cyrean moderately well at this point nod. "Yep. It's a fabber. Seems offline, though." You examine it closer, while Roxane peers at the interfaces.

It springs to life when she touches one of the interface panels, and all the displays light up. A message in red letters appears on the primary screen. You translate it as "Alert. Supply Minifacturing Station, Emergency Power Only! Please Contact nearest Engineer station for assistance." "Huh," You say. "What is it?" "Looks like its emergency power only." You clear the warning, and a new alert appears. "Internal Battery 87%. Insufficient Resource Blocks to assemble." A small rectangular tub-like tray pops out from the side of the machine. "Please insert resource blocks." You quickly scrounge around to the side and pop open the block tray that usually holds the fabber's fuel for minifacturing. It's mostly empty, only four blocks remain, but you do notice a slightly larger than normal power module lying in one of the slots. And the markings are different.

>What Do?

>>18940504
Can we read anything on the power module?

>>18940504
Identify and use. Also, figure out what this thing can manufacture.

>>18940504
>[x] Contact nearest Engineer station for assistance
How much do interplanetary calls cost? What the hell will the tech support guy from Cyrean India think when we phone him up? These are questions that need answering.

>>18940578

A lot. Well, the stuff costs a lot of money, but if you went down to the Galactic Confederacy embassy in DC and asked nicely they might hook you up with an FTL call out of system.

>>18940566
>>18940577

The "out of fuel" error is blocking access to the blueprint library.

And the module says "SERAPH Flight System" then a serial number which indicates an experimental tag. Equivalent to us labeling software as beta.

>>18940736
Welp there is no way we are not grabbing that Module.

>>18940761
Yeah, we have the laces. What could possibly go wrong?

DO IT.

>>18940810
Everything is going to go wrong.
But we can't really back down now, can we?

>>18940736
Stick it in your face!

ModulesModulesModulesModulesModules.

Your glove is handily already off, so you can easily pluck up the module. The power floods into your body, flowing up into your torso, congregating on your back and shoulder blades. In your field of vision, the Cyrean words "SERAPH Flight Module Implanted, EX Overland Flight Version .7" scroll. Roxane grips your shoulder. "What happened, Dan?" You shake your head a little to clear it, and say. "Found one of the Flight modules, though this one is different, supposedly." You look down in your hand to find the module not dead or inert, but rather its lines radiating a red-orange color, with a faint pulse. The Psychic Metadata seems to say "Return module to nearest recharge station". Huh.

Johnny clanks by upstairs, and manages to jump the hole in the floor, and seems to be making his way outside.

>>18941032

BTW, .7 is the Cyrean equivalent to .9, because they use Base 8 instead of Base 10.

I've mentioned that before, right?

>>18941032
Can we recharge at the fabricator? If not, try to find one. If you can't tell Roxy and see if she can throw one together.

>>18941064
Not that I remember, no.
Interesting.

>>18941077

Well, that's the thing. Modules usually don't recharge. Even the higher ranked modules are produced on demand and are still one and done. As far as Dan is aware, you couldn't recharge the modules. Presumably this is part of the experimental system involved here.

>>18941032
We might be able to recharge it here but I'm not sure. See if the fabber can recharge it. If not look for a way to power it, if we could hook it up to the batteries on some of the weapons perhaps. I suggest we see if we can drag the fabber with us when we go. With our knowledge and Roxy's MAD SCIENCE we might be able to get it functional again.

>>18941173

If you stick the fuel blocks into the fabber, you can access the blueprint library and also other OS functions.

>>18941032
>recharge station
Zap it with the psi-shock. Fuck conservation of energy.
Not that we even need to recharge it. It's not like there's anyone else within a hundred miles who can use it.
TEST OUT THE WINGS.

>>18941229
The fabber isn't on autopilot right? So if we do give it power it's not going to run amok or anything?

>>18941235
>test out flight system
>inside hidden chamber
>in underground bunker
That aside, this reusable module technology is some pretty crazy shit. The eggheads would go nuts if they got their hands on it.

>>18941235
What are you talking about? This thing is worth huge dosh if the recharge actually works! We can't just use some inelegant psishock, this could be really delicate. It is only a prototype after all.

>>18941329

Nope. And, in fact, Cyrean's don't go for automation. Not their style, it's all a manual interface. It just appears that this model of fabber requires you to load it before you can interact with it, like a printer out of ink.

>>18941424
Is it mounted in the wall, or is it still remotely portable?

>>18941424
Plug those blocks back in, keep 1 or two for analysis. We'll want to see if we can make them later.

How portable is the Fabber, could we with some work and the Hammer relocate it, preferably with minimal damage.

>>18941229
Can we at least see if it will tell us what it can fabricate?

>>18941480
I'd imagine not at all, considering he said it's built into the wall.
Though if we needed to, I guess we could maybe just break that section of all out.

>>18941649
None of us are exactly Cyrean electrical engineers, so we don't know if it'll ruin the system if we try to pull it out.

>>18941677
Either way, we should try it out here first before we think about moving it.

>>18941467
>>18941480

You place the module in a pocket, and examine the fabber. It seems pretty firmly placed into the wall, though you can see the seam where it's built in. If you had some specialized tools, or knew more about Cyrean construction, you might be able to dismount it from the wall, and take it with you. A project for once you get room clear, maybe. "Roxy, remind me on the legalities of fabricator possession." You say, as you take one of the rectangular fuel blocks and place it in the slot, then load it in. The machine begins processing it. "Hrm," Roxy frowns and thinks, as you continue working. "Well, Fabricator systems are classified by the UN with a letter code. A- and B-type fabbers are Grey tech. They're also extremely rare, the A-types being true nanofabrication engines. I think there's like 6 of those left in the globe, and most of them are dissassembled for research purposes. The B-Types are more like Cyrean minifacturing, only desktop sized. Not many of those either. And all of those are owned by private collectors or research institutions which don't have access to the As. Those are super advanced Black Box tech, and owning a functioning one is restricted the same way owning nuclear arms is. C, D and E-type fabbers are Cyrean. C-types are the common ones, about the size of a forge, or a couple refrigerators. We've got plenty of those left on earth. Trading in them illegal, like the modules. The D-types are their industrial sized ones, and they're treated like the Cs."

(cont)

>>18941832

She pauses for a second as you load the second to last block into the fabber, keeping the final one shoebox sized brick for study. "This looks like what I've hear the E-type units are like. Mounted into their hardware. I thought they were just on their ships, or on their own planets, almost like a store kiosk. And those technically aren't restricted because you can't own them, they're mounted to hardware. Also, the GC recovered all the downed Cyrean ships. Y'know, the eight we actually shot down." "Uh-huh," you say, as you clear the error, and get the Fabricator's main operating menu. "Well, theoretically if we could own one, legal stance?" "Well, so long as we don't go selling it to anyone, I don't think there's any restriction for it."

>Main Menu:

>>18941579

Well, now you can.

>>18941851
Check the Diagnostics, I'd rather not make anything out of a borked machine, it could end badly.

rolled 9 = 9

>>18941883
Diagnostics, then we can check the library

>>18941851
Diagnostics, then Help, then the blueprints.

>>18941958
>>18941883
>>18941953

You hit the diagnostics button on the interface, and it relays "Processing...". While you wait, you hand the last brick to Roxane. She opens up the container, which is a pale greenish blue color, the equivalent to brown paper wrapping. The markings on it translate roughly to "Inorganic Fuel Block Class-A". She examines the pale, grayish brick, breaks off a corner, and breaks off a piece of the corner. She pops off her bubble helmet, wafts the chunk under he nose, then sniffs the air. "Huh, irony. Carbon, too?" She crumbles the corner up, and it breaks down into a fine powder. She then runs a finger along it, commenting "Doughy." she pauses, then sticks her tongue out and moves her hand toward her mouth. You grabs her wrist halfway there. "Don't. Lick. The Nano Fuel." She shoots you annoyed glance. "What? Haven't you watched movies, Dan? It's my duty to taste it." You cock an eyebrow. "What happened to safe science?" "It's just some basic chemical building blocks..." "Which could contain higher doses that you'd like of something, I'm sure. Never know if they need heavy metals for something..." She glowers at her finger, then back at you, and brushes the dust off her glove and back onto the brick. The fabber beeps.

Diagnostic Complete.
Main Power Status: Offline
Battery Status: Operational. 87% Power Remaining
Software Status: OS Operational. No Start Up Errors
Blueprint Status: 4/4 Files Found. No Corrupted Files Detected
Interface Status: Operational.
Security Status: No Home Network Access. Default Security Enabled. Biometic Markers Recognized

>>18942253
>>18942253
Do we know how long will 87% power last? Maybe we should see if we can't download the blueprints or have Roxane memorize them if a download is not possible.

>>18942253

Oh, yeah, and it also runs through a list of of fuel blocks loaded, but you know what fuel blocks it has loaded so that'd be kind of boring.

So just pick which button to access next.

>>18942253
Well lets see what the four blueprints are. Is it one object per nanofuel block?

>>18942253
Check out the blueprints we have. See what it can make.

>>18942333

Well, it's been sitting here for 17 years or more, and only lost 13% battery power idling. Or hell, maybe it burned up that much power when they turned it on and checked if it worked.

>>18942390
>>18942369

You access the blueprint library. The Diagnostic said it only had 4 files, which you know is unusually small for a Fabber. Presumably, they hadn't installed all the software yet when the facility was abandoned.

The first list item is something that doesn't translate well into English, but you do know that it's pretty much a paperweight they make with Fabbers to make sure they work. The list says it'll take .1 of a block to make and even less of a percentage of the battery power.

Then you scroll down to the good stuff. The Type-EX Fabber is loaded with Armor Templates. It contains Heavy Combat Armor, Tactical Scout Armor, and Command Armor templates, all ready to fab. Only problem is they'll use up about 85% of the battery, and a majority of the raw materials you just loaded in the system.

>Wat do?

>>18942566
What's the different between Tactical Scout and Command? And do we know if the Fabber will build to our specifications?

>>18942566
I'm currently leaning towards Tactical Scout Armor. Will it fit us is one question and what exactly do Tactical Scout and Command Armor do, what sets them apart from one another?

>>18942605
>>18942611
That aside, what happens if we go back to the guards patrolling the zone and say "hey you got a fabber sitting over there?"
Naturally, this'll happen after we offload everything here.

>>18942605
>>18942611

*Ahem*

Allow me to elucidate you.

Heavy Combat Armor is the kind preferred by Cyrean Shock Troops. Its HAR 5 in the head and body, and HAR 4 in all other locations. The armor is bulky, and may make it harder to do some more dexterous things, but is very hardy. It also has an equipped short range teleporter.

Tactical Scout Armor is naturally favored by their scout and infiltrator teams. It's HAR 4 in the head and body, and HAR 3 on the limbs, much slimmer, and not as tough as the Heavy Armor, but a lot more agile. It has a build in optical camouflage system.

Command Armor is utilized by field commanders, even higher up than just Squad Captains. It has a rank markers as part of the design and everything. It's HAR 4 to all locations, and strikes a mobility balance between the scout armor and the heavy combat armor. It's tech is a Tactical Uplink. It's not so useful now, with no Cyrean networks to mesh with, but if Roxy or somebody else technically inclined toys with it (Yourself included, Dan actually knows a fair amount about Cyrean tech) you could probably reconfigure it to network with human made technology.

And as I foreshadowed with the "able to step into it" point, all armor can and will be made to fit Dan.

>>18942801
Scout, I'm always a fan of optical camouflage and high mobility.

>>18942801
Let's go with Tactical Scout, in that case. I don't like restricting movement more than we have to, plus with no reasonable uplink, there's no overt reason to spring for the Command Armor right now.

rolled 6 = 6

>>18942801
Command.

rolled 61 = 61

>>18942831
yep scout please

>>18942801
I like command, the benefit of better tactical awareness at this point trumps two abilities that we could just magic.

>>18942928
>>18942903
>>18942887
>>18942831
Is it even legal for us to own this armor?

>>18942973
Tactical awareness that DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE. I like well-rounded armor myself, but considering Dan's style, he needs movement more. Plus,
>It's not so useful now, with no Cyrean networks to mesh with,
There's nothing for the Command to interface with.
>but if Roxy or somebody else technically inclined toys with it (Yourself included, Dan actually knows a fair amount about Cyrean tech) you could probably reconfigure it to network with human made technology.
That's too much work to deal with right now. We're already getting a monster payout as it is with this haul.

>>18942977
No one's called us on our Cyrean chestplate yet.

>>18942977

This is a world where it possible if you don't mind breaking a few international treaties, you can obtain low-tier superpowers for a few hundred bucks in a couple hours if you know the right people.

The laws for owning certain kinds of items are a little laxer than in reality.

>>18943011
Well its not like we're going to be using the armor right now, we are in the middle of an exclusion zone that is surrounded by the military and barring some unseen plot twist we should have plenty of time to rig up the armor for our purposes before we go to SPAAACE or whatever else happens next.

>>18943193
With what? Never mind Dan's reduced agility, either.

>>18943193
Rig up the armor to what tactical net? We don't have an army. Teleport and camo are both far more useful powers.

rolled 29 = 29

can we make and use pieces ? of different ones? lets get the like the command armor but with the telea porter part like reducing the mobility limiting factors?

>>18943193
>>18943258
>>18943211

To clarify, The Tactical Uplink is designed for lots of real-time communication, and real-time intelligence updates/battlefield management.

Depending on what kind of network you hook it up to, you could set it up for something as simple bluetooth phone to running a real-time tactical awareness on sections of the city. More complex equals more work (It's basically the long-term payout armor, as opposed to the other two's short-term payout)

>>18943297
Never mind it'd probably use more power than the station has, I doubt it would be permitted. We're working with preset blueprints.

>>18943335
That seems pretty useful, we already have stealth, get the Command armor and we'll get a full on tactical network going with our allies, we'll take the fabber with us and perhaps supplement it with the lighter Scout parts later.

>>18943335
I'm a sucker for the term "long-term payout." Go for the Command armor, in that case.

>>18943335
If she's going to be doing most of it anyway why can't Roxy rig up bluetooth on one of the other armors?

>>18943398
Given that one of her specialties is radios and the like, helping us set up an awesome tac network would be balls to the wall awesome.

>>18943398
The Command inherently makes it easier to do, I imagine.

Command. Definitely command. Long-term payout is highly valued, and I expect to see this quest through to the end. By Jove, I expect to see that command armor put to use with its full capability! We are Daniel Fortesque, and we shall command ARMIES by the time we are through!

Okay, running the numbers, its 4:3, Command. This decision will be sticking for the immediate future, so Command is what we're going with, unless, y'know, heaps of objections et al.

>>18943398

Maybe, but the Command basically has prebuilt hardware for it. It'd be real easy to configure as opposed to having to edit the hardware of the armor directly, she just needs to learn how to write/edit Cyrean programming language. So give her a couple weeks.

rolled 35 = 35

>>18943463
Less with our help, I bet.

I say we go through the Help option first, before we use up all the battery life for armor, it 'Might' just be important......

After taht I'll put my support behind command.

>>18942566

You push a button, and turn to Roxane. "Don't suppose you can write Cyrean code?" She looks at you blankly. "Well, no. I've never had any Cyrean hardware to work with, since they networks have been down for years and they don't build robots- oh. Right." She shrugs. "Well, some humans can so I'm sure I can learn." "Right." You say, and nod, then step into the space.

A display lights up and a couple of doors actually slide closed on the front of the fabber. You're glad you're not claustrophobic. A display informs you to stand still. A cyan scanning laser sweeps you from head to toe, hurting your eyes as it passes. The display informs you to remain standing still, and light rises from the bottom of the fabrication chamber. You close your eyes tight and hold your breath as it reaches your head, there's a second of electric humming in your ear, and the light disappears. You open your eyes to find yourself staring at a Cyrean HUD on the inside of a helmet. The doors pop open, and you see Roxy looking into the pod worriedly.

>>18943766
"Quick. Do I look like a stormtrooper? Yes/no?"

>>18943766
On a Scale from 1 to completely pimping, how sexy does this armor look on me?

>>18943801
>>18943817

You step out and down out of the Fabber. "Well, how do I look?" You say. Your voice comes out kind of strange because you both hear it muffled and echoing in your own helmet, and also hear it emanating from the external speaker on your armor and being picked up by the external mic, since this armor is vac sealed. Roxy puts a hand on her hip and cocks it slightly to the side, and says, "Aren't you a little short for a-." You cut her off with a threatening finger. "If you finish that quote, I will punch you in the soul." She just smirks. Then stops and gets a tiny frown of thought. "Can you do that?" She asks, seriously. You shrug. "I have no idea." Respond, honestly.

You look down at yourself. Actually, the armor material and finish reminds you of storm trooper or clone trooper armor. Only the colors are different, a natural coloration flowing from a deep violet in places to a lighter indigo color through most of the body. While not completely contained like a proper Powered Exoskeleton, the breaks from plate to plate are minimal, only where required to preserve your flexibility, and you can see the body glove underneath. You actually realize being fully clothed (sans your jacked and body armor, because then you could not fit into this armor) is kind of snug in here. You'd probably be a little hot if not for environmental controls.

>>18944138
So this isn't exactly stuff we can wear a bomber jacket over and call it a day?

>>18944185

Nope, you're wearing full body combat armor. Now, your new jacket can probably fit over it, but then you'll be taking some armor layering penalties.

rolled 8 = 8

>>18944138
could we create switchable changeable magic circle HUDs for invocations each element necromancy enchanting whatever else we can think of

is this advanced to do graphics? like candles simulate sent?

>>18944216
What happened to the chestpiece we were already wearing?

>>18944216
Is there any sort of ritual we can come with to, you know, "quick-change" into our armor if it comes to it? Like, store our armor in a minor pocket dimension, and when the time comes for combat, we do RIDEEEEEEERRRRRRR...HENSHIN!

>>18944288

It's just over there, on the floor. Honestly, it's still missing a noticeable chunk from when Anna fired a coin at maximum velocity at you earlier in the week. But Dan wasn't dumb enough to climb into a fabber to get new armor while wearing his old body armor.

>>18944275

You can probably make custom HUD symbols, yes, but you still need physical circles to do magic stuff that needs circles.

>is this advanced to do graphics? like candles simulate sent?

I'm... not entirely sure what you've just said. I think some words are missing.

>>18944342

I was kinda betting on you guys doing that already, so yeah.

>>18944342
That would be awesome, we should look it up and start trying to make an enchantment or ritual or some weird spell to make it so once we get back.

>>18944288
I think we're wearing a chestpiece inside a shirt inside a jacket inside another chestpiece. Bring on those armor layering penalties, we don't give a fuck.

>>18944393

In that case, actually, it would less be penalties for layering armor than "Dan can't breathe anymore".

rolled 10 = 10

o fuck that got chomped up

ok does the HUG have good graphics could we watch a movie ? does it give information on smells or other near by chemical what kind of sensors does it have?

>>18944424
We don't need to breathe, we have air evocation!

rolled 2 = 2

>>18944424
yet again the benefits of going Lich

>>18944458

Two Words. Verbal. Components.

>>18944444

Well, the HUD relays the information on the outside world in the highest definition possible, that of real life! Joking aside, yeah, it relays visual information pretty clearly for you inside the helmet. It's probably not normally configured to render video, but if you can figure out how to send the data too it, it could show you a video, I suppose. Might need to update the drivers first.

Scent is possible, but you have to tell your suit to take in outside air, unfiltered. It defaults to not doing this, because its vacuum-sealed armor.

>orkpanis when

I have no idea when ork pains will show up, captcha.

>>18944532
> Verbal. Components.
Obviously we cast the evocation BEFORE we put the armor on. We're not that stupid.

rolled 5 = 5

>>18944532
>>18944532
You just KNOW we need to have Roxy set us up with Some of her mouser robots To respond to sent commands, and send video to the armor.
YOU JUST KNOW WE NEED THIS.

So, we've pretty much descended into question-time, so I'm going to go ahead and say the thread has ended-ish.

The summary version is that Dan can recover all his new found stuff, and cash it in with Regis for the government salvage, and he makes a lot of money. 10 points of Wealth as spending money, for starters. You guys can also have a weapon or two if you want, like Roxy keeping the Shard Pistol. Dan also manages to basically cut the Type-E fabber out of the wall, and it can be a plot point later. Chekov's Minifacturing, and whatnot.

So now, I have a few questions for you, dear readers. Dan has enough cash to do what I'm going to call "Base Upgrades", basically spend his money on some improvements for him lifestyle as befitting a Gentleman Psychic Adventurelock.

First Dan's gonna have a couple weeks with not much to do, so I'd like to know what you all feel he should do and work on in that time. Mostly, I'm thinking you'll want to convert the Command Armor hardware to hook up with human computer networks, and that'll take up a lot of that time as a project, but you can also squeak in some other things.


(upgrades in next post, because 4chan is a bitch)

>>18945050

You can get (pick one):
-A "Home" Upgrade. Dan will find himself a better apartment near the Campus, with more space, better furniture, a view, etc. If he finds a roommate or two, he can afford to live there for a long while. Generally just improves quality of life.
-A "Workspace" Upgrade. He can move from the tiny workspace the college provides certain students to buying the equivalent space of a couple shipping containers in some Self-Storage place, he can convert to a workshop and store all his various gear and tech there, and also have some room to fill it with more supplies for his various technical modifications and magical mojo and have a quiet place to work on them
-An "Infrastructure" Upgrade. Dan can buy himself some new computers, get maybe a new tablet PC or a laptop, make sure he has the best possible Internet and Cellphone providers, get some of Roxy's mouser robots with sentry configurations and get them a dedicated server to run off of. Even maybe build a system with a weak AI Expert System to crunch numbers and check the police scanner and stuff like that.
-Or you guys can decide you don't want any of that, and get some additional wealth points.

And then I have another decision, but I'm gonna go ahead and give that its own post.

>>18945074
A home upgrade is always welcome, but a Batcave has its perks. Tough call.

rolled 9 = 9

>>18945050
also enchant the armor to be anti magic

>>18945074
Workspace, we're getting a lot of gear, we can have a place to work on our various projects we Roxy and given how much magic crafting we do having a dedicated place would help.

>>18945074
Workspace and Infrastructure both seem good.

>>18945113
>>18945140
>>18945161
The common choice between them is Workspace.

>>18945130
We're enchanting our armor so we can become Kamen Rider, first.

rolled 5 = 5

>>18945074
Erk, both that Workspace and the Infrastructure ones are tempting, but I think from a roleplaying perspective, and sheer utility, The Home Upgrade seems like the way to go? I think i'll see what everyone else has to say before making a decision. Still, I think getting pad with Johnny has merit.

rolled 10 = 10

>>18945050

sweet add a solder mounted holographic projector
or even a lazer one to make simple images to make magic circles/ setups for enchanting or powerful magics on the run

>>18945074
What's to stop us from turning the Home upgrade into our Workspace?

rolled 10 = 10

>>18945210

I'd assume Nothing, which is why I thought that would probably be the way to go. But on the other hand, It probably will cost more too?
Hmm.
Im going to Vote for the home Option. We're a man of Means now, and well, seeing how serious things can get now that we're empowered, Dan can probably justify it in the fact that at least this way if someone comes calling on him, he doesn't have to get other involved.
And we can set up a little target range in the yard or something. Privacy has it's uses. we wont even have to eplain things when we start drawing runes and shit on the walls.

The Next decision is a doozy, so I'm gonna try and keep this thread alive for a while to make sure I'm getting a good sample of my reader-base. Basically, I have six core places this quest could go, location-wise. And since I've actually got ideas for these areas, I'm going to cut out the middle man, and ask you what story/area you'd all like to pursue, rather than have you guys flounder around where there's nothing in the sandbox and get nothing out of it. If there is a popular suggestion for something other than these options, I'm open to it, but having been doing this for a couple months now, I think I know what appeals to ye.

Thusly:
-Dan and Johnny can go to New York to visit Dan's Dad, and then they all go to Central America for Archaeology shenanigans.
-Alternatively Johnny can accompany Dan on a rushed trip out to Oregon for Dan to visit his mom, and then Organized Crime shenanigans occur involved Dan's maternal grandfather.
-Dan can go with Blackstone and Jeanne to London, to visit the Seekers of the Arcane, and learn more about magic and magic stuff.
-Dan and Roxy can go into SPAAAACE! and learn more about Aliens, Psi-tech, and other stuff.
-Dan can join Prof. Ellsworth and Anna on a research trip to New England. Where you will in *no way* run into more Outsider stuff.
-Dan can pick a couple of NPCs, and take a Vacation to Japan, where you'll hang out and just have fun times and maybe run into supercrime or something. Also you can see the giant robots.

Before something else happens that kind of closes up Act II, you guys have enough time for two. Maybe after those events, we can come back and do some of these, but for now, let's limit it to two.

>>18945280
Japan sounds like fun, and we get to pick our partners

>>18945280
Hmm, I'd say the Magic or Outsider ones for one choice and either going into space or seeing mom for the other.

>>18945280
Visiting Dad and SPAAAAAAAACE! seem like the most pertinent choices. Archaeology appeals to our history interest, while space appeals to our new Cyrean power base.

Alternately, Japan sounds wacky and would make for a hell of an adventure, so that's on the table too.

I should also remind the thread that Miss Mystery (II) invited us to a date if we ever visit California.

>>18945280
Going to SPAAACE! with Roxy is my primary vote.

rolled 3 = 3

-Dan and Roxy can go into SPAAAACE! and learn more about Aliens, Psi-tech, and other stuff.

Romance in space fuck yea all my votes

>>18945210

Nothing, really? But then you'll have to spend time and some resources on it. I'm giving you guys one for free, and after that, Dan has to work for it.

So, counting torn votes as one for each;
Home: |||
Work: |||||
Infra: |||

Looks like work wins by a bit.

So, anyway, new thread Thurs, if I didn't say that already. This thread is archived, blah blah blah.

I'm going to go get a shower, but then I'll be back for regularly scheduled question time. And remember, Keep the home fires burning as long as possible. I want maximum sample size for that last question.

>>18945394
Well, if we can turn the home into a workspace, then that might change things. People may vote for home now and then later retroactively turn it into our larger workspace as well.

>>18945074
Home upgrade. We are a danger magnet and Dan should not be comfortable bringing all his madness into other peoples lives. Also, we can probably scrounge mini versions of a workshop and practice area. Spend some of our wealth 10 to do so if neccessary.

>>18945280
Take Roxane and someone else to JAPAN to learn the ways of giant mechs, then take one with us to SPAAAAAACE.

Also... practice FLYING. Because FLYING is kickass.

>>18945435
>>18945394
>>18945462
Yeah well, im definitely putting my vote down for Home.That other stuff can come later, AND at that point we'll have some place to put it all!

As For path splits, Im Going for Japan and then SPESS, not sure in which order, though taking Roxy to japan would let us get to know each other better, AND they probably have lots of robotics and AI stuff there we can shower her with. Supercrime also sounds interesting, and theres that demon samurai guy too. Fun times indeed

>>18945462

>Also... practice FLYING. Because FLYING is kickass.

But of course. How else will Dan see if he can figure out that "Overland" business.

>>18945654
I'm thinking it's either a speed limitation, won't work over water (like hoverboards) or it just doesn't work in space (or anywhere that lacks an atmosphere)

>>18945685
Let's see if there's any limitations in the first place before you heap them on.

>>18945654
I don't see the Flight program on the character sheet.

>>18945654
>>18945685
>>18945718

Im wondering if the Flight module will work with our program module to let us combine it with stuff somehow.
Ive been getting...ideas.

>>18945727

That is because I forgot to add it. It's on there now.

>>18945685

Wrong kind of overland. See, normal Flight Modules are designed for short bursts of low-hovering ship (IE, landing craft or other small transports) to ground flying, and back, and navigating quick hops over difficult terrain or up to buildings.

The experimental new version Dan has has been modified to allow an alternate mode with lower acceleration, but higher top speed and more easily maintained speed without constant focus for extended trips.

If anybody has played either of the Zone of the Enders games, Jehuty can fly around normally with its systems, but also has that special long range flight mode where it can't really move around, but it can fly high and fast over long distances.

>>18946010

>If anybody has played either of the Zone of the Enders games...

This last part would have made a lot more sense if I phrased it as an analogy and not just a statement.

>>18946117
Heh, so its more like a rocket propelled movement then , instaed of say, psi energy wings or something?

>>18946156

It is still Psi based, but the energy is released differently, doing a slow, steady propulsion to cover longer distances. It's probably analogous to rocket flight, though.

>>18945280

Current Tally: (IE, basically counting every time some-one said "[Option] is cool")

Dad: |
Mom: |
London: |
Lovecraft Country: |
SPAACE!: ||||| |
Japan: ||||

So lets keep this thread alive for 8 more hours while I sleep, and then I can keep it alive on my own for more hours.

bump

I'd actually really like to go see Dan's mom and do some mafioso kind of stuff, but then again...Space. I'd also be happy hanging out with Jeanne and Blackstone, because they're honestly my favorite characters thusfar.

Really, I just think I'd love anything you came up with, Omega. This is seriously my favorite quest on /tg/ right now. I only regret I don't get to participate in it more due to real life restrictions.

As for the wealth, I'll have to take a cue from the Dresden Files here and say a Workspace Upgrade.
I'm assuming such an upgrade isn't going to take up all the wealth we just got, but a good chunk of it? If that's the case, I'd like to suggest the following:

50% of the money goes into a reinvestment that will see a return in a minimum of one year (perhaps city restoration?)
25% to Dan's personal spending money
20% to one of the afforementioned upgrades
5% to a high-interest savings for emergencies.

We should also try asking Ashwood for advice on where to invest money, or at least who else to ask.

>>18939115
As the "kindly-anon" who made it, I'm SUPER flattered, thank you.

Bumping to ensure this survives into the daylight.

>>18946460
I've been missing too many of the metahuman threads lately. I vote for SPAAAAACE. There is a noticable lack of Roxy in all the others.

>>18947211
right, forgot about the money.

I'm personally in favour of home upgrade, maybe we can convince Johnny and Roxanne to come live with us, and with some work we could turn one of the rooms into a workplace for some extra investment of time and money.
The hammer will have to stay in the smaller box (or whatever it was we kept him in) for repairs and maintenance, since the workshop will be for smaller things, and perhaps some magical experiments.

>>18948678
Well, maybe we could keep it in a shed, or a garage, considering I dont think Dan owns a Car.

Bump, and also a reminder: A few threads back I suggested using one of our blank Foci to make basically a receptacle for Dan's necromancy powers, to store and take life energy from.Pick sorta related. Also wondering, if we go to Japan, i wonder what would happen if we put some of that life/soul energy into a robot.. just some stuff we might want to remember. Im pretty sure someone brought up the idea again some threads after I did.
Also omega said it could be possible to make enchantments to enhance our Psi bolts and stuff, but it would require more research. I think if were going to keep on doing both Magic and Cyrean tech it would be cool to go full force and blend them, so I dont want to forget that.

>>18947211

Well, the Home/Work/Infrastructure is free, it requires no additional expenditure of resources. If you want to do one of the others in addition to the first choice, that takes additional effort.

And while your financial plan is nice, you are assuming I know and care enough about finances to make it an important point in the story. Now, I'm totally okay with saying that's what Dan does if we're okay with that, just don't expect it to be very important in the story exactly what he does with it (besides spend it on more superhero stuff)

I'm also gonna say it looks like Work has won by a decent margin.

And looking at the rest of it, I'd say its a Safe bet that Space will be one of the selections, but with like a whole day before I start the next thread, its still an open field for all the others, I guess.

>>18948820

You guys can probably fit that in during the couple of weeks Dan has to do stuff and plan out any trips and so on. I'll give you some time to figure out any enchanting you want to do. Like giving yourself a transformation sequence.

Throwing in a vote for Dad or London followed by SPACE.

So, London is starting to pick up some momentum, which makes sense since Blackstone and possibly Jeanne are popular characters.

Given the way the votes are split up currently, and given that I know what will happen there, I'm not sure if I should just front load the Japan trip, do that section first, and then open up voting for something to do besides Space (because Space is clearly going to win one of the slots), mostly because one of the possible (and most likely) results for the Japan encounter would both make for an interesting twist to Dan's existing powers and some interesting character development for him. But, at the same time, I'm want to avoid the issue I had with the latter half of Act I, where one plot point stretched way longer than anybody, myself included wanted. Probably my own fault for envisioning a whole bunch of shorter story ideas I liked and giving myself limited slots.

Thoughts?

>>18952295
Are you suggesting doing 3 things? I don't think that would drag because they all seem fairly different. You can always just do one and then see how it goes; whether you want to insert another one or go straight to space.

P.S. I make the current votes as:
SPAACE!: 9
Japan: 4
London: 3
Dad: 2
Mom: 2
Lovecraft Country: 1

>>18952295
Do whatever you think will make the best story, Omega. I trust you for that much.

>>18950203
After you counted, there have been a considerable amount of home votes, which I think completely throw the counting into favour of home:
>>18945435
>>18945462
>>18945512
>>18948678

>>18952563
And kind anon here has counted the trip locations again. SPAAAAAAACE!

>>18952640

Huh, actually you're right, I rechecked and assuming I'm counting everybody right, Home squeaks ahead over work 7:6.

>>18952640
I get:
Home: ||||||
Work: |||
Infra: ||
But I appear to completely disagree with his first tally so maybe he's got some weird counting system.

>>18952746

I counted every time anybody said they wanted anything (including torn votes) as a vote for each item mentioned. It might be a little weird, but that way I end up with the numbers curved to find what the majority wants over all.

I think. We didn't talk so much about gathering data in the Stats section of my math class, but about organizing and interpreting it.

>>18952799
I would count the same, personally. But I wouldn't generally be opposed to a japan trip before spaaace, as long as roxy is involved. space might be a big step when we haven't even left the country before.

I missed a work vote last time and counted >>18945189 as a home vote but he didn't really make a decision. Still, all of us are coming up with home as the winner so it doesn't really matter what the exact numbers are.

Yaaaay, I didnt miss anything.

>>18952985
Thats fine man, that was my post, And I definitely wanted to go with Home.

>know or care about finances

Fair enough, I just figured there should be some sort of plan in case it was important. Better to be too prepared rather than unprepared.

>>18953453

True enough. And since you went to the trouble of thinking about such a plan I can say that's what Dan does, and just gloss over any of the boring details and apply it when important, I guess.

>>18953638
Cool deal.

Also I noticed you ran out of space on the charsheet, so I updated it. I just couldn't bear to see the coffee ring incomplete.

>>18954170
Scratch that, made a better one.

>>18954590
Where are those symbols from, anyway? Do they actually mean anything?

>>18954628
Nah, it's gibberish.

Yoink.

>>18955181
You're a terrible thief, give those fonts back to the guy who can actually into magic circles.

>>18955255

THE CIRCLES ARE MAGIC, THE DO NOT NEED YOUR GEOMETRIES!

MY UNIVERSE, MY RULES.

While I'm sitting here with photoshop open and nothing to really do, have any requests?

>>18955255

Also, seriously, the way I explained the rods as working, that "10/10" configuration would result in a triangular pyramidal zone. They don't default to circles.

>>18955289
HEY RED STAR, YOU'RE ON. I'LL SUMMON YOU IF SHOW HIM WHAT'S UP BY ENFORCING YOUR RULES ON HIS UNIVERSE. EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRY APPEARS TO COUNT AS A "STRANGE AND TERRIBLE REALITY" OVER THERE.

>>18955352
>This thing mostly hugs ground level. Makes a kind of dome
>Magic. It needs to be a circle. No triangles. Triangles are not magical.
Uh huh.

>>18955522

Which is why it wouldn't work.

I just said that that would form a triangular a space. The magic doesn't mystically curve around corners. Because it wasn't designed to.

Triangles still aren't magic.

>triangles
>not magic

Triangles are the second most magic shape of all, just behind circles.

>>18955522
You mean NON-euclidean geometry.

>>18955598

Quiet you.

>>18955639
>GET ON MY LEVEL

>>18955598
What about pentagrams? Five lines make five equal triangles and a pentagon, the symbol has been used by multiple religions, was regarded by the Greeks as a pretty awesome shape, and it has strong connotations with the Devil and the occult.

POSTING OC FROM LONG LONG AGO!

>>18955594
I'll be honest, I don't even know what you're trying to say any more.

>>18955598
I dunno, pentagons and hexagons are fairly up there as well. Squares are as unmagical as shit though. >>18955691 can fuck right off.

>>18955620
No I don't. I was joking that Dan's universe obviously runs on a non-Euclidean geometry and Euclidean geometry was eldritch horror tier.

>>18955719
WELL then maybe it was too subtle.

>>18955691

I..what? Shapes, what?

>>18955714

Rave magic?

>>18955719

>I'll be honest, I don't even know what you're trying to say any more.

Something something, magic, something something don't have to explain shit.

It's actually a zodiac circle I made as a reference for Final Fantasy Tactics and I suddenly got inspired. It's really the only artwork I've done that I'm genuinely proud of.

>>18955862
I get the zodiac signs and the sun and the moon and the pentagram and the triangles but why is there an Ikea logo or something in the middle?

>>18955887

Greek letter.

Theta to be exact.

>>18957527
Oh, it goes that way round. Well now I feel silly.
Θ

>>18957527
Circle: Ο
Not a circle: Ω

>>18958076

I'm well aware I'm not a circle.

Don't go thinking you're better than me just because you're sooner in the alphabet.

Sup faggits

get on my level

>>18958515
>Don't go thinking you're better than me just because you're sooner in the alphabet.
But that's how it works. Everyone knows α is the best and β is second-best. They get the whole system named after them. You're just a shitty depreciated vowel stuck on the end of the alphabet.

>>18958639
>>18958662

Bah, my letter is cooler, and you all know it.

>>18958779
>Phonetically, the Ancient Greek Ω is a long open-mid o [ɔː], equal to the vowel of British English "raw". In Modern Greek Ω represents the same sound as omicron. The letter omega is transcribed ō or simply o.
Remember when you were important? "The alpha and the omega"? You're just a hipster version of me now.
>Omega was also adopted into the Latin alphabet. It has had little use.
I hear "O" was a big success over there!
>The minuscule letter ω is used as a symbol in relational database theory to represent NULL, a missing or inapplicable value.
Yeah, nobody likes you.

>>18958859
>ω is used in sociology, used to refer to the lowest ranking member of a group
Oh god I missed the best one. I almost feel sorry for you, Omega.

Pshaw, when was the last time somebody named anything cool or ominous the "Omicron device".

>>18958985
http://galaxylegion.com/wiki/index.php/Disarm_Omicron_Device
Yeah, take that!

>>18959055

You just googled "Omicron Device" and that was your first result.

>>18959070
Out of 755, I might add. It answered your question, didn't it?
