You are currently the daughter of the Demi-Godlike AI. Or, atleast, the closest thing to one that she will ever have. Born from the modified State Vector of your mother's alpha consciousness, you have been implanted into a morph that fulfils the physical requirements that seem to fool the "Vonnies"' Identify Friend/Foe system to test whether or not infomorph forking can fulfil the EEG requirements.

At present, you are still currently testing out your new body. It has all sorts of neat features - taste, touch, biochemical response to stimuli, orgasms, and organic sound propagation. You have just finished eating dinner - which was two helpings of the most awful tasting pasta bolognese you have ever eaten (though it is also the first time you have ever eaten), as well as something that may or may not have triggered an orgasm on your tongue - a triangle shaped 'chocolate' called Broblerone.

You were quite oblivious to the fact that the chocolate contained copious amounts of THC, but you did wind up enjoying the shit out of the first and second episodes of Cyborg Combat Ponies: Friendship is Explosions. You are currently stoned out of your mind, talking to your beloved mother.

============
"Why do you need to write a letter, momma?" You ask, somewhat befuddled. Did you do something wrong?

"Because, dear," she says, "-Broblerone- isn't something that you should have been able to download. It isn't good for you."

"But chocolate is a good thing!" you half shout. There is a sinking sensation in the pit of your stomach - is this how a physical body manifests dread? You -really- don't want to lose access to the delicious chocolates. "It's delicious and chocolatey and makes all the colors go swirly." That reminds you of your earlier feeling of annoyance. Shucking off your clothes, you continue. "Oh! And I almost forgot to ask, but do you mind if I do the decompiling to my clothes and make some better ones? The one's I put in the closet when I was being you are bo~oooring. They need the beautiful rainbows."

You toss the outfit into the decompiler. Your mother's hologram rubs her temples.

"Go ahead, dear." She says. "Have fun." She pats you on the head one more time. "Momma's gotta get some work done now. Don't break anything while the forks are watching, and do remember that clothes are customary when the Firewall staff gets here." She smiles. "You're doing very well getting used to being a biological. I'm proud of you, dear."

And then she pops out of existance.

You have an entire underwater base to yourself for the time being. Plenty of space to find something to distract yourself with.

>Wat do?

>>19938891
Explore
Surely there is something cool in here.

Set the compiler to make us some good clothes while we're out as well

>>19938891
Set up the compiler to fabricate some new clothes for us, then go gallivanting off to explore the base.

>>19938927
SUBMARINE!
Let's see some pastafishieans

>>19938891
Get some nice new clothes. Explore this new base, have a constant look of wonder and awe on our face as we do so. There's so many new things, everywhere we look.

We should look for better food than that pasta was.
That bronlerone should be giving us the munchies soon

I wonder if we could create a muse for ourself
Not that we particularly need one but the memory of them is cool and we would have a friend then

>>19939005

The bronlerone! We need to quickly make a copy of it's compiler data...so that it can't be taken away from us.

Do that while new clothes are compiling (I vote nice blues and greens, they match our hair).

Then we explore.

>>19939033
Too valuable and difficult to create of a resource for an asset that has a high probability of failure.
It would be less resource intensive to simply fork another few instances into the backup bodies if we wanted social interaction to fine-tune our State Vector.
If Icarus survives contact with the Vonnies, then maybe.

>>19939040
No mother wasn't happy that we ate the broblerone so it must be bad

Even though it is like an orgasm in our mouth and makes the colours go all swirly

>>19939040
We do need to make a copy of the data. Mother wasn't happy so we won't eat any more of it, at least not today, but we should have the option.

Then we could try out some different chocolates and some well reviewed snacks to munch on while we explore the facilities.

>>19939058
Yeah but I meant not as Daedalus but as Icarus
We obviously remember some of what went into it from when we were being our mother so we can try it
And we can't make sisters for ourself yet

>>19939059
Well, kids are supposed to rebel against their parents at our "age" aren't they? This can be our small rebellion.

>>19939071
We aren't at that age though, we are about a few hours old

We don't know enough yet to be rebellious

Not to mention our mental faculties aren't working well enough to reasonably think that far ahead

>>19939040

Yes, we need that data.

>>19939070
As Icarus? Creating a new infomorph?
We have the memories but none of the skill, not in our new form.
It will not be easy; it wasn't easy for Daedalus, it will be much more difficult for Icarus.

>>19939086
That's why the "age" was in the quotation marks, and we know plenty of things, from being a fork of Daedalus.

Before you go into exploring moe, you decide to get a handle on your clothes situation. You go over to your wardrobe to see if there is anything worth saving inside of it.

Wait. No. It's all the same.

You dump the contents of the wardrobe into the decompiler, and then walk over to the compiler. Bringing up the access interface, you very quietly save a copy of BROBLERON.BRO to your Specs' internal memory, and then open up the Clothe's Catalogue. There are several million different things tha you are quite sure would look -lovely- on you, all of it costs the mad reps that you are currently lacking. You should probably set your glasses to give their runtimes to the planetary BOINC tonight - that'll get you -some-, at least.

The freeware are mostly boring and drab, just like that dull and stupid outfit your mother had your closet filled with. You decide that instead of downloading anything, you'll use the SEEMSTRESS application to create some for yourself. Your glasses quickly calculate your measurements - which are PRIVATE details no one else need know - and opens up a cute little window with a model of yourself.

"Welp," you say to no one in particular, "Time to be the getting to work!"

Nice to see Udz has the hacked dice as usual

So ReaDS, is Icarus' 8 in Smarts a result of her being tweaked down from a demi-god AI to a 15--year old girl?

>>19939371

Yes. Daedalus has a 10 in smarts, but in order to get the model of Icarus's EEG to match the patterns present in young girls, she had to make significant alterations to the state vector, and could not maintain the same intellect. A 10 looks completely fracking inhuman, and can only be found in sociopaths or infomorphs.

You spin through the application like it is a piano and you are it's fucking master. No function goes unnotticed, no style goes unused, and while you end up settling for the beauty of simplicity in form, in color you take it far further. They fucking swirl on the screen as much as they swirl before your eyes, crescendoing together in an effervescent hurricane of blues and greens and reds and blacks and whites and even oranges. Your are quite certain that your leet skills with the fashions could earn you more of the reps than the local BOINC, so as the items are compiled you upload the .BROs.

Much more happy with your future wardrobe's variety, you decide to explore the base while your clothes are busy compiling - get familiar with it before the men and women from Firewall arrive.

Berkley Open iNfrastructure for Computing. It's too valuable a research tool to have been lost over the millenia that have passed between now and then, especially in a heavily networked society. The Acronym is all that's remembered of its original iteration though, it just stuck.

(Basically, people volunteering runtimes to create a global supercomputer meant to solve EXTREMELY hard problems).

You decide to head down to the pool. It's located at the top of the base, two floors above the living quarters and one floor above the cafeteria and lounge. It is actually a bit less of a floor, and more a small dome centered on the building's roof. There are numerous plants - at least some for their aesthetic, but all chosen for their efficiency at recycling CO2 into O2 - surrounding the poolside. Far more impressive, however, is the view that the pool provides.

You look up through the transluscent graphene dome, and see the midnight black waters of the Bolognese trench. Fish that have never seen sunlight scurry about, bloated things kept from implosion only by the strength of their skin. A black cthulhoid nearly a kilometer long slithers through the water, its tentacles gently caressing the dome's top, it's beak singing a haunting tune crying out for a mate. Momentarily, you spot something huge, an eye reflecting the dome's bright light, before it disappears. You know neither fear nor contempt for these creatures, only that same sort of wonder a child holds for a puppy.

This is what you will be fighting to protect, when your time comes to face the swarm. This majestic beauty.

>Field too long

>>19940028

Quickly enough, you remember what you came down here for. Hastily tiptoing across the tiles, you make your way over to the pool proper. Knowing that you would best start at the shallows, you dip first a toe. It is warm, and a familiar sensation stirs through you as when you were born
- the wetness of water. The toe becomes a leg, becomes both, becomes your navel and then your breasts until at last all that remains out of the water is your head. It is quite relaxing, and you lie back in the shadows remembering how comfortable it was in the glass mother, and your hands move to scratch that incorrigable itch again.

You *ahem* relax, quite loudly, for a good hour and a half.

Swim some, sing to the Cthulhoid and the fishes up above us. After we have swam our fill and sung quite a bit then go to the lounge.

Also we should probably get clothes on some time, we don't know when we'll have guests.

We shan't be going out. We will be in our pool looking out through the glass.

Oh relax, I'm joking. I'm sure there are vehicles for going outside, so we'd be mostly safe.

-Your Friendly Neighboorhood Cthulhoid-

So, you're down in your submersible vessel, cruising along the lowest points of the ocean floor WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN you see a giant tentacly ass mother-fucker. Do not be alarmed. Do not open fire. Do not start screaming "IA, IA, CTHULHU FHTAGN!" and tearing at your eyeballs. That feeling of having your soul ripped out of you through the enmaddened depths of your 'puny' transhuman brain as you stare upon this glorious beast that mustn't be is only a placebo.

Really, the genus 'cthulhoid' holds among some of the friendliest creatures in the blackened depths. Speculated to live for millenia (the oldest known, Big Bertha, is some 3800 years, at the minimum), they span some one to three kilometers from beak tip to tip of tentacle. They are known to possess at least a rudimentary intelligence, they are known to assist the crews of submersibles that have gone aground and cannot rise.

If one could find an egg of theirs, the would likely make excellent companions, provided that you can find a pool large enough for all thrirty meters of their infantile stage.

>>19941188

>If one could find an egg of theirs, the would likely make excellent companions, provided that you can find a pool large enough for all thrirty meters of their infantile stage.

We have a pool...and are on too many drugs to know this is a bad plan.

>>19941225
But is the pool big enough?

>>19941262

...we have robots and fabbers...if not, I bet we can MAKE it bigger.

>>19941225
We're actually only on one drug.
And it would be better to see if someone has already sequenced the genome of the cthulhoid an made a small pet version.

>>19941352

Ooh yes, and we can genemod it so it will grow up friendly and smart. Or at least with a faster brain, if not actually smarter.

>>19941366
If people really want to try to put a Muse into it (which, as cute as it would be, I think is ill-advised) it would need its brain modified and it's nervous system upgraded to handle a cortical stack and be able to run a Muse's advanced AI self.

>>19941421

Cephalomorphs exist. Though, as often as not, those people who have them are porn stars.

After your relaxation is complete and you are fully satisfied that all of your pent up tension is removed, you come to the conclusion that the one thing you didn't like about the warmth of the glass mother was the inability to move around with freedom. This pool, on the other hand, has plenty of room - you don't think it's big enough to hold a baby cthulhoid, but it -does- have enough space to float around in. You kick off the wall, and relish the sensation of water moving across your skin.

You float along fairly confidently, letting that initial push carry you along to the center of the pools circle. As your momentum decreases, you drop your feet to the pool floor, to regain a solid hold on your position.

Or you would have, had the pool floor not slipped out of your reach somewhere along the way.

>Roll 1d20+Stubborn vs 17 to avoid panic.

Can we shift perspectives soon? As cute as all this is, I would like to see important things happen.

The first thing Icarus did out the tank was masturbate, then the first thing she actually enjoyed eating was basically super concentrated weed, followed promptly by more masturbating.

I think the pet tentacle monster is pretty much required by this point, if only to further embarrass her mother.

Given that the current pictures of Minaka are mostly Signum, it looks like Anne might have an agressive competitor.

We'd probably think about it a lot. And then when it came to it nervously stare at our feet and ask if we could touch them.

This is why I suggested posting a character sheet in some form at the start of every thread.

>>19941574
I'm cool with most things for Icarus, as long as they aren't hedonistic or the like.

So Marine Shoujo seems good to me. If she actually survives first contact, maybe we can make a squad around the theme of land, air and sea.

May I ask the Omniwiki if neotenics were among the survivors of Regulus Prime?

>Highest of First Three: 20.

You don't panick. You manage to paddle yourself back to the shore, and decide that the best thing you could do right now is to get out of the pool and not do that again until you manage to learn how to swim. You contemplate the long and arduous process that would be convincing your mother to get you a cephalomorph to hold the Infomorph that will be assisting you in both training and targetting, and wonder whether or not it is worth putting all of that on screen.

No. That would be stupid. There are more important things going on right now than you adorably exploring your home. That would be gratuitous, and would likely involve hedonism than you feel comfortable with, given that you have more than fulfilled your quota for the day.

So for now, you decide to relinquish control of the Narrativ view to your mother.

You are now the Daedalus.

Let's not do this part. Not entirely. Maybe restrict it, but certainly not cut it off entirely.

>>19941883
THC and getting stoned will change the EEG pattern of Icarus.
It's going to push her farther away from the brain patterns of a 15-year old girl, and consequently make it more likely that she will be killed.

If you're going to reduce her chances of survival, why bother training her?

BTW, did anyone make sure the previous threads are archived?

>>19941883
Yes, we should indeed do that part.

>>19941955
We're not even sure if that's how it works. I just feel that completely blocking it is too totalitarian. We should be able to discourage Icarus from getting stoned without preemptively blocking all access.

I find it kinda funny, I'm one of the last people that would suggest she should get stoned all the time, but I don't feel we should simply cut it off like that.

>>19941972
... the link is in the third post. Read more.

Also I think we should make the replicators not make THC, so Icarus gets the exact same taste of the chocalate she likes, just without the being high part.

>>19942039

Your first suggestion for Icarus should do was masturbate.

>>19942066
That is entirely different. Some one had to do it, and masturbation is not drugs at all.

How about we try actually being a parent and just explaining why she shouldn't be doing drugs?

>>19942143
That's what I was trying to say.

>>19942039
The way I see it, Icarus only likes the Broblerone because of its sweet taste. As far as I know, THC does not taste sweet, and she thus won't mind its absence in broblerone.

>>19941801
let's leave us the option of being retarded.

You run the program heartwarming.sml, which changes the 'doing right now' of your social profile to 'smiling at my little girl's adorable antics.' You'd imagine that you would have been a lot like that, had you been in your young and foolish days of early life, before your first alpha state vector fork. Actually, what she's doing seems a lot less irresponsible than what you did. You used to sign public keys with people you hardly knew while under the influence of dopamine simulator programs. And download other infomorph's forks without using a firewall.

Yeah, you were a bit of a party girl. But hopefully you can do better with your girl.

You suppose the first step to being a good parent would involve making sure that her access to the Broblerone is... limited. Not necessarily completely restricted, but in such a way that little Icarus won't get stoned off her ass every time her chocolate. Discretely as you can manage - which is quite discrete, considering your in depth knowledge of her glasses' OS - you inject a script into the BROBERLONE.BRO file to TOBLERONE.BRO, with a note explaining why she shouldn't be taking any recreational drugs until she is used to her body. And that chocolate is fine.

Now that good parenting has been accomplished, you check up the OMNIWIKI to see if there were any Neotenics who survived the raid on Regulus Prime.

Nope. All of them dead. There goes that idea. Well, then you might as well check up on the three recruits as they trained under good old Alexander. You flip on the Vid feed, expecting to see explosions and wrecked targets.

Instead you see an empty field being rearranged by the janitor bots. And the girls are nowhere to be seen.

Oh right. It's been a few hours. They're probably done for the day. You rewind the tape, just to the point where they...

>>19942256
>>select weapons and armor.
I'd swear we've been over that.

And, since the old thread's 404'd, stats!

Minaka: force sword, shield-gauntlet things that make a directed concussive burst of air by rapidly expanding in a particular shape (also good for punching in a pinch). One guy also wanted her to have a gun.
Reimu: twin forceshortswords, dual FLN machine pistols, future!bow for heavy hitting(might be made by combining swords), pack/ quiver for ammo
Anne: shields and Nanite swarms to project fire, ice, lightning etc. Maybe also drones with weapons on 'em.

Nanoweave dress for Anne
Red coat w/ musclefibers for Reimu
chrome light powerarmor w/ jumpsuit underneath for Minaka

Porting over general agreement from last thread.

>>19942364
Shouldn't the red coat be for Anne, since she's our resident techpriest?

>>19942364
Pretty much this.

Also, no using neoteniks. Means that the Vonnies can tell the difference between a young mind and an old mind. Confirmation of some of our earlier assumptions.

>>19942401
You're thinking of robes. The idea is F/SN Archer, I believe for Reimu

>>19942401
Unfortunately, the red coat is already a reference.

Reimu's the ranged weapons user, she gets Archer's coat.

>>19942401
No, because Reimu is an Archer-class.

>>19942364
add the gun bots for Anne

just make Minaka have shotgun gauntlets

>>19942256
We've been arguing about this whenever we're not arguing about masturbation, ReaDS. Can you work some of that "light-handed totalitarianism" and just pick for us?

>>19942744
>Maybe also drones with weapons on 'em.
Shotgun gauntlets seem like they would, y'know, exert a lot of force on her hands.

>>19942799
This. Just pick whatever you feel would be the most appropriate given the suggestions at hand.

Although I think pretty much everyone unanimously agreed on jetboards. Not the real life kind that go on water, the fictional kind that's a hoverboard with attached rockets.

>>19942903
so, we can have force waves powers but can use them to compensate for recoil?

her power armor(if it goes though) could help too.

>>19942799
And we can to a consensus last time.

>>19942799
>I don't want to have to deal with other people's ideas, please ban them

>>19942953
Whoah, that's not what I'm asking. I'm just saying if we can't come to a consensus quickly, it'd be nice if ReaDS did it for us rather than sitting around arguing about it for the next three and a half hours.

The only disagreement right now is whether Minaka should have shotgun gauntlets.

To be honest, shotgun gauntlets just seem silly. Keep them air-shooty gauntlets, and if she rally needs a gun, give her an AR/HMG.

>>19943063
No one said she can't have the force slam powers. But sometimes you don't have time charge your kamahamaha. thus, shotgun gauntlets.

>>19943088

Kamahamaha? I want to see them do this. Be Dragonball girls.

"-will not work with you." Ah, that's where you were. Just at the tail end of Alexander's inevitable speech about how it is not you who wields the weapon, but the weapon that wields you. For a man who has spent centuries as a hybersonic two ton collosus of graphene and steal whom kills people with brute and shocking force, he can get awfully poetic about his most constant companions.

After a moment, Minaka is the first to step forward.

"These look interesting." Minaka finds herself drawn to weapons and armor not dissimilar from Alex's own. A greatsword of monatomic graphene edge, traced with kinect micro-projectors and bosonic fusion reactors to provid energy, stylized as a replica of Caledfwlch. A sleek model of powered armor, chrome plated and shined to a mirror sheen, with attached kinetic impact gauntlets to even further strengthen her blows. Below which is a jump suit, certified for high pressures and vacuums, with an escape bubble projector to keep her breathing in space or ocean should her armor be breached.

"Melee's for suckers, Forte. Ranged is where it's at." Reimu grins when the bow she had been toying with manifests a high impact kinect arrow. It snap-folds to a fifth of its length, and slides comfortably onto the belt of a low assist set of midnight black light body armor. Feeling a sense of insufficient rate of fire, she grabs a pair of pistols, and is delighted to discover that they are multi-configureable, using a trible barrel system to obtain a full/semi/burst fire mode, a scatter/shotgun mode, and a bayonet form incase the enemy gets too close. She throws a bright red coat with ten shield projectors sewn in overtop the armor.

>Field Too Long

>>19943120

"You're both..." Anne sighs. She'd rather not see what would happen when those two went and started their fights with Firewall grade weapons. She herself slips on a purple dress and white blouse, that while short and poofy sleeved was essentially a man portable Cruiser Class shield projector. She dons the gloves that went with it, allowing her to project the shield as not only a defensive measure, but an enemy containment solution. She also switches out her omni tool, replacing it with one that has a military grade micro compiler, permitting her the manufacture of grenades endo and exothermic.

You decide to spend a moment or two abstracting the weaponry into a dataset that would fit into your previous abstraction.

What the fuck?
The force field emitters on the gauntlets and boots would have allowed for the creation of multiple force blastwaves and are far superior to shotgun gauntlets.
If they need shotguns, they'll use them.

>>19943182

>Check in on John Q. Dantexis.

You open up a communications link with John, to check out, whose response is extremely predictable.

"The search for additional girls is most unfortunate, me." He informs you. "I have managed to begin the process of recruitment in thirty more arcologies, with a bit of help from my own forks, but of the three thousand nine hundred and sixty two candidates we had chosen to begin the test of moral fibre upon, only thirty percent successfully made it past the first stage. And it looks like only forty percent of those have the necessary drive to complete the second step of the test." He takes off his "hat" and sighs.

"At this rate, by this time tommorow we should have approximately 475 candidates prepared to say yea or nay. If fifty percent of those accept our proposal, we will be able to fully man all combat positions of the Alpha Site, but no personel outside the Firewall Regulars and Icarus in the Beta, Gamma, Delta or Epsilon sites."

He looks at you grimly.

"Should I be loosening my parameters, ma'am?" He asks. "Firewall should be able to contain the ones that are loose cannons when the time comes."

>Wat Do?

>>19943698
A fine idea! Let us
>be Alex

But first lets ask if he'd be willing to be forked into a young girl to help train our daughter.

>>19943889
This is most unfortunate.
I don't think we can afford to loosen our standards just yet.
We will simply have to push what girls we have until either we are forced to recruit from among the second-stringers, or the DOLLs become ready.

>>19943889
...

loosen the parameters enough to take enough to take us to 50% manned strength on all sites. moral fiber is still key, ai assistance may help their drive.

>by ai assistance, I mean instead of them seeing the actual fighting field they see a SNES Star Fox view of the world while fighting. All sensory input is controlled. One way plassteel helmets.

rolled 1 = 1

Did finally resolving the weapon debate drive everyone from the thread?

(1, Don't loosen Standards, 2, loosen standards as >>19944030 described).

>>19943889
Bollocks.

I'll agree with getting up to half strength. Perhaps 2/3 at alpha, with the rest at 50%

>>19944099
oh, nvm then. Loosen it is.

>>19944098
Myself, I'm being slowed by both getting home and posting via phone

>>19944098
I meant to keep Alpha at 100%, 50% everywhere else.

Everyone took their toys and ran it seems.

Icarus still needs some toys, and her own Alex.

>Majority Vote: Loosen Standards.

"Yes," you tell yourself. "Loosen the standards as necessary to fulfill the following parameters: by this time tommorow, I want enough 'Mahou Shoujo' to man one hundred percent of the alpha site and fifty percent of Sites Beta through Epsilon. We have no idea when the first scout swarms will be arriving in orbit, but I would prefer that we aren't caught with our pants down, as the biological saying goes."

"Very well," He says. "Any particular way you wish me to go about this?"

You nod. "Continue with the standards regarding Moral Fibre until we run out of candidates who fulfil it. Drive and work ethic will be easier problems to account for than the possibility that some might turn on us, or abuse the power granted. Augmented reality can easily enough turn a battle for one's life into a video game." You pause. "Only recruit the ones who failed when no choice remains - start combing the rest of the arcologies before sending one of them to a site, savvy?"

"Alright," he says. "I'll see what me and the fella's can do."

And then he vanishes in a pop.

>>19944406
Oh. A fine question. For some reason, I'm thinking heavy weaponry, in addition to the experimental sonic tech.

>>19944445
I'm voting for lightning and moderate-long cool-down laser

>>19944456
Lasers have already been declared a no-go, the replicators will just turn it into delicious energy to make babby with.

>>19944478
lasers of insufficient power are no go, just like normal fire wouldn't hurt them.

>>19944338
yeah, fuck statting out and equipping gazillions of mahou shoujos.

What's the point of the round table, then, if we're getting hundreds? Is it for the top magical girls of each base to meet?

Does it have any more seats than the myth?

>>19944542
> seated ~150

fuck, I think we'd have problems running 12 girls much less that many.

>>19944512
Lasers of sufficient power to instantly melt/vaporize whatever it was pointed directly at would still bleed enough energy to nearby replicators for them to go nutso overdrive.
Lasers are a No

>>19944542

Each base is different. Alpha site is the only one with a round table. The 'statting out' was a joke, they're your redshirts to play Strat with. And no, there are only thirteen seats.

>>19944576
What, lasers don't bleed energy. That's the point of a laser, precision energy applied only in the beams area. It'll cut through them in a straight line until it stops at one it can't get through.

Anne's fire bomb are out if we're worried about waste energy being used against us.

File: 1342665476123.jpg-(300 KB, 525x800, Alex 4.jpg)

When John cuts off, you immediately follow up with a ring over to Alex. The thought just hit you - what if Icarus doesn't trigger the IFF bug. What if, to them, she's just a tasty snack made of organic atoms all hidden in a shell of graphene and carbon fibers. What if... what if she died?

Is this the human emotion known as fear? Yes. Yes it is.

And you have a feeling you'll be coming to know it well, with your daughter set up to fight on the front lines.

Of course, you show none of this to Alex.

"Alexander," You query of him as his face comes into view, "You've always wanted to have a younger sister, right?"

He nods. "I have. But my parents are long dead, so I don't think that will be happening any time soon."

"Well, I need you here, to train the first three girls and oversee the training of the rest," You tell him, and he nods - that's what his assignment was. "But I also want you over in Beta Site, training my daughter and the girls tha will be joining her."

He looks at you askance. "And just how do you plan on having me in two places at once?"

I'm asking you to fork. I don't mean this as an insult or anything along those lines.

I have a daughter who is going to be in the fight and I don't want her to get hurt. The best way I know for this is to have you train her. I'll owe you one. She needs a mentor, someone who can teach her to fight and survive, someone like you. You've always wanted a younger sister and she'll look up to you, consider you an older brother.

>>19944618
Modern lasers still diffuse slightly over their area, and they loose focus with distance. Future lasers could be rendered immune to this through techno BS however.
The fire bombs would need to use the same sort of techno-magic BS to make sure no energy gets past the "Immediately Lethal" to "Food" transition.
Answer: It's sufficiently advanced technology, I ain't gotta explain shit.

"I'm asking you to fork a copy of yourself," you tell him. "It's not exactly unprecedented, MISAKA had been doing it out in the Oort before, well, the Vonnies forced them to leave."

He does not look all that happy with the proposition. "You know my objections to that particular procedure, Daedalus."

"Yes," you say. "But as I said, it's not another you we'll be getting out of this." You snort. "It will be your younger sister. I will do the same to the model of your alpha fork what I did to my own to create Icarus."

"This sounds like it would be more my daughter than my sister." He says. "And I have plenty of those throughout the verse. Gave me a headache having to intimidate their boyfriends when they came of that age to be married." He snorts. "Not that I had to do much more than show them the Gouf. That scared them straight."

"True." You tell him. "But, please... at least consider it. The Beta Site could use a girl with your skills to lead them - my daughter could-"

He raises his hand. "Say no more. If this is what it takes to -grasp victory-, then I accept."

"Just make sure that when the time comes, my -dear little sister- will be able to lead her girls into battle."

>>19945052

We need to find a body worthy of Alexa. Rep is no object when going through the various brochures to find a top-of-the-line body for Alexa.

And compile all of the weapons and armor that she will need at the Beta Site.

>>19945092
I like you.

>>19945054
it's fun. it's like a sidescolling shooter basically... with hot ass.

>>19945133
We are ReaDS equipping a firewall operative fork

We don't have to worry about rep because we control the system that runs everything

On that note see what lengths we can push Alexa to with mods, maybe see if there is anything locked in the firewall archives that isn't for civilian use

Here's a thought, has anyone tried catching one or more of the replicators using some form or magnetic bottling system? Might be useful to have a mostly intact specimen for study (far away from anything important and with many redundant ways to destroy it of course).

Also roughly how long and how much resources would it take to build more communication centers? Can we build some 'Dummy' communication centers to give the replicators more targets to choose from and therefore give us more time to deal with them?

>>19945422
They feed off the energy produced by anything.
The best we can do it EMP fry them and quick freeze to hope they don't recover

>>19945366
too many mods make the body take too long to grow

>>19945575

We'll probably end up doing what we did with Icarus.
But Alex gets to chose the body this time.

>>19945618
ah, I see where you're going

>>19945575
Yeah we have bodies on standby at beta but we need to make sure if it is going into combat it is top tier.
Alex wouldn't accept anything less.

>>19945714

If we had the time necessary, we would have made Icarus into a second Minaka.

>>19945832
That's what the DOLLS are I thought. they just don't get to pick the looks then, but at least they're not all straight clones.

>>19945832
I am pretty sure any backup bodies we create for Icarus will be Minaka tier

>>19945955

Yep. We have an army of Minakas in the works, but none available immediately.

>>19945955
They could probably do a quick mod to give themselves new features like hair / eye colour before being out into use

>>19944934
You know, I kinda want to go finesse with Lancelot just to throw her brother off. I'm trying to do Zeus Icarus, pounding away with thunder like the Lord on high.

...But how do you use finesse against a swarm? Unless there are some command and control bots to aim for. We could have realistic decoys I guess... invisibility isn't helpful against a tidal wave...

>>19946334

I'm seeing us up against Stargate replicators. So little spider things.

>>19946498
Those are too big though
Our ones are about an inch square iirc and basically a shell around grey goo

>>19946547
The SG replicators are still made up of smaller machines, though. And when enough of these get together, they do take on a "spider-like" form. So they basically are the Stargate Replicators.

File: 1342673972102.png-(839 KB, 864x1152, mahoushoujosheet.png)

Updated charsheet.

>>19946636

And the SG replicators are only effected by kinetic weapons

can we deploy any kind of solar screen along their likely approach vectors? no sense in giving them energy from the systems primary for free.

>>19946843
if we make a massive enough array, it could be used to help find them(holes in the reflected light).

It'd have to be massive though to have a reasonable chance.

>>19946705
So you CAN see how these are very similar.

So, Icarus' gear. There's one(?) guy pushing for lightning & Lazcannons, I'm in a general "heavy" mindset, any other thoughts?

>>19946843
It's not a bad idea, but we only have one reference point for the main swarm in the Oort cloud. At the distances involved, they aren't getting much from the local star, and it's a really wide area we'd have to be blocking.

So, I guess it's not that great an idea, in actual execution. As I can see it.
