The "Magic" Continues

Previous Threads: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags='Magical'%20Girl%20Quest
============

You are currently being the Demi-god like AI, 1187-Alpha "Daedalus," the current Reasource Distribution System overseer for Planet 13A "Harper's Reach. Having checked up on the progress that fork of yours designated "John Q. Dantexis" was making on recruiting candidates for Operation: Mahou Shoujo, you had come to the conclusion that at his present rate, the numbers would not be sufficient for defense against the coming assault by the Vonnies. You chose to relax the standards, with preference given to those girls who attained you standards for moral fiber, but not self-motivation. By this time Tommorow, Alpha Site will be one hundred percent combat ready, while sites Beta through Epsilon will be fifty percent combat ready, give or take.

Thinking of the necessity of the girls got you off on a tangent concerning your daughter - or, well, and alpha fork of yourself modified for thought process akin to a pubescent human female stuffed inside a top-class bio morph - and whether or not she would be able to survive her test encounter with the Vonnies. With those thoughts in mind, you went to Alpha Site's primary combat trainer, and asked him if he would be willing to fork himself in a way similar to how you created little Icarus. Though he had several reservations at first, after some convincing, he decided to acquiesce to your request.

>Wat Do?

>>19953126
How long do we expect it to take to get a body for Alexa and fork Alexander over?

If it's soon we can tell our dear daughter that she'll have a friend soon, if it'll still be a while we can hold off on that.

>>19953126
check detection network construction
make sure our....daughter/sister whatever isn't trying to swim with the fishes
>>19953199

>>19953126
>Wat Do:
Work with Alex on finding an appropriate biomorph for his 'sister' to inhabit.
Basic weapons should already be compiled at the Beta Site; have Alex compile weapons that he feels his 'sister' will need.

Send a message off to John; remind him that we're at the Godzilla Threshold. Expand the search for candidates to all arcologies on the planet.

Start work on press releases for when the vonnies become impossible to suppress.

Be the Minaka.

>>19953199
>How long do we expect it to take to get a body for Alexa and fork Alexander over?
Are we going with a custom-job or getting pre-built?
If it's the former, 6 months like it's been already said.
If it's the latter, probably a few hours to arrange the purchase and transport to the Beta Site.

What are we going to do about the Magical Girls that won't be at the Alpha Site or Beta Site, being trained by Alex and Alexa?
Just have regular Firewall trainers take care of them and hope that it's enough?
Or have all Magical Girls trained at the either of the two bases first, then deployed to their respective bases?

>>19953227
Prebuilt for now

>>19953245
this

anybody without a name is a Redshirt basically

>>19953245
Theyre getting the normal Firewall trainers, still very good, I have no doubt, just not a legendary agent.

>>19953357
I would prefer that all Magical Girl recruits be trained at the Alpha and Beta Sites.
It will help to engender a sense of camaraderie with their fellow Magical Girls, a bit of esprit de corps, and provide the best chance of survival and effectiveness for each recruit.

Is it too late to, like, call John and say we changed our mind? It seems we'll have more than enough candidates if we just wait a bit.

Wow, right when I'm free to check back, the thread updates.

Uhm… Alexa should look probably look like Kyouko from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Kanade from Senki Zesshō Symphogear or Kanata from AKB0048.


Those three fit closest, both appearance wise and in personality, I think.
((They're also rather prone to various forms of SUFFERING, which is the only possible outcome I see for this particular pet project))

File: 1342722097613.jpg-(388 KB, 900x1278, Alexandra.jpg)

"Don't worry," you tell Alex. "Provided that the alterations to the State Vector can work to trick the Vonnies in to thinking she's not a fork of an adult, you'll get all the vicarious combat out of her that you want."

"Excellent," He replies. "Now, please give me a moment. Until such a time that a female morph with my own gene seed can be made for her, she'll need a body to inhabit." He opens up a catalogue from the Face Conglomeratee. "Preferably, one that is worthy to wield the legendary skills of the Red Comet!"

Whilst Alex is taking a look through the catalogue, you send over a quick base text message to John.

-Expand search parameters to 100% of arcologies and Tower Fields, ASAP.-

He replies almost immediately.

-All of me are on it, me. Me've been attempting to ensure use of .01% of each city's production capability before sending infomorph flock. And without admin status - .01% is already quite a bit for the networks not noticing us. Attaching our name to this rather than John's would increase project visibility at minimum threefold - more likely by three orders of magnitude. Do not wish to inflame panic.-

You send an acknowledgment in reply, just as Alex turns back to you.

"Ah," he says. "This one will do -quite nicely-." He points to the image.

>>19953612
Alexandra is Alex, thus he'd want to use what he's familiar with. He is already a trained and experienced agent, and will have a preferred combat load out.

>>19953624

>>19953659
>If it's an independent mind who knows what it'll want
But it'll start as a fork of Alexander.

Icarus didn't like CCP either, until she experienced the Broblerones and watched the Ponies while stoned.
Who knows if she'll still like it once she's no longer on the effects of THC.

Both >>19953655 and >>19953618.

>>19953637

Lewd…

>>19953678
she watched it before she ate the drugged candy, but agreed it was 'frivolous.' She never said she dislike it.

>>19953693
Is it too lewd, just lewd enough, or do we need some more lewdness?

>>19953659
Icarus and Daedalus are quite different from Alex and Alexandra. Daedalus had never been human before the fork that became Icarus. Alex, meanwhile, has been human for... centuries, was it? Quite a while, regardless. Even with the adjustments to make Alexandra read as a teenage girl, there's still all those years of experience backing her up.

>>19953715
let's hold off on the lewd until we get them together

then let it out all at once

>>19953715

Needs more lesbianism.

>>19953693
I think you're gonna have to deal with Icarus being lewd, as it is quite entertaining to many of us it seems.

I mean, I'm not suggesting she be completely hedonistic, but there's nothing wrong with a little casual nudity.

>>19953738
Will all of Icarus' sisters be like this when they're decanted?

You eye the model - it's a good one that was unfortunately not made in such mass supply as the Saber and Windows Zyqxuwy-tan models were. Unfortunate side effect of the mods used to build it having not yet been released under an openware liscense, you suppose. But he's right, it will do quite nicely.

"Hmm... It should take just about as long to arrive to Beta Site as it would to manufacture her a standard load out," You inform him. "Is there anything you would prefer." While you speak to Alex, you quick send a message to John.

-Reneg previous order to lower acceptance standards. After current candidates finish testing, continue recruitment at optimized rate to fill ranks with Mahou Shoujo up to our standards.-

His response is predictable: -How unfortunate. I have about a dozen girls ready and willing to join up who do not meet current 'self motivation' Standards. All whom seem quite excited at the prospect of protecting the planet. Permission to keep them, ma'am?- He sends you a picture of a sad puppy. -They would be credit to team, I am sure.-

"Yes," Alex says in response to your question. "I do. She would be best off using..."

>>19953749

If they're already clued in, it's too late to turn them away. We should just make sure they're grouped together under an experienced team of trainers to make up for their weakness, relatively speaking.

If they turn out to be a liability they can be used as reserve forces.

>>19953749
Keep the girls around. They may have a lack of self motivation but perhaps we could use them to motivate each other. Set them up in a dozen person team, separate from Alpha and Beta site, get them a Firewall instructor, engage in large amounts of team building exercises. Have them rely on each other and know the only way to protect the rest of the team is to be stronger.

As for the load out, spear and shield. Big heavy shield that also works for nasty shield bashes and a decently sized spear. Very Greek.

>>19953781

To be totally honest, I'm not sure Icarus would understand the concept of a committed relationship too well at this point.

She'll probably try to be 'good friends' with everybody.

>>19953749
To John: Accepted. Have a fork prepare a brief on their strengths and deficiencies, and forward to me. I'll have their trainer take those into consideration.

Uh, that's EXACTLY Icarus' problem.

We're currently pretty sure she's going to try and seduce her instructor. Well, seduction implies that she's setting out with that in mind, so maybe it's not the most accurate term.

>>19953797
Their self-motivation may not be up to standard, but we don't know if there are any other deficiencies.
I'd still have them trained at the Alpha Site for basic training with Minaka, Reimu, and Anne under Alex. It's better to foster a sense of inclusiveness by using a common training base rather than having them trained elsewhere.

>>19953693
>>19953849

I don't know what you're on about.

I was referring to being able to outlast her in training, therefore acting as an excellent partner for sparring and a good instructor.

If two girls dressed in athletic attire, grappling and squeezing at each other, all sweaty and breathless.....

Never mind, I think I see your point. Though I think that's more our fault than theirs.

>>19953857

It's going to start with innocent questions about the female body, which Alexa won't really be able to answer.

Also, iGlasses for Alexa.

>>19953749

Heavy-duty combat armor with shield projectors, a hand-and-a-half mono-edge sword, and a 20mm automatic multi-type grenade launcher.

"You know, I'm supposed to be training you...." she takes a bite of Broberlone.

"Yeah, but that's boring. you know what's not boring? I found a thing on the internet I wanted to try." Immediately throws herself onto Alexia and begins to make out.

>A couple hours later.....

"I'm going to check and see how the other two are....."

"Daedalus?"

".... Dammit all, I thought I locked her out of those things...."

>>19953988
Daedalus would feel both pride and annoyance at that, she'd be proud as all hell that her daughter got around the security measures she set in place, and annoyed that her daughter got herself and her trainer stoned as hell and started kissing her.

poor READS, he wants to run a scifi girl quest

we're turning it into softcore porn

such is 4chan

So am I the only one a little worried for Icarus here?

I mean, if this is a semi-serious thing with potential consequences, our adorable little hedonistic stoner is probably going to be the first one to die.

We designed her with the intention of using her like a canary in a coal mine, but I'm already kinda attached.

File: 1342725428818.jpg-(105 KB, 787x649, Alexa with Hair Dye and Armor.jpg)

>Loadout: First to three: "What I do!"

"-Precisely what I do!" He finishes. "That is, after all, how she was trained - what her primary combat knowledge will concern. She will require a set of Mark XVII Vanguard Power Armor scaled to her measurements, with the same moifications to thrusters and shield projectors that I have upon mine. Her primary weapon is to be a X-1904 Automatic Grenade Launcher, modified for Cryo Grenades as it's primary munitions, with retractable monatomic graphene bayonet. Her secondary weapon shall be the suit itself."

You check to see if the compilers at the Beta Site are even capable of building something that big. The primary and secondary munitions labs both lack the necessary production capacity, only meant to build weapons up to the Sub-Heavy range and light to medium armor. So that won't work.

Fortunately, there's one in the hangar that can build that overengineered monstrosity he calls 'armor'.

"We can do that." You tell him. "We have to use the compiler meant to be making submarinal vessels, but we can do that, yes."

"MOST EXCELLENT!" he declares. "Soon, a second Red Comet shall arrive in this world, and make for herself a name of her own! ADOHOHOHOHOHOHO!"

>Wat do?

>>19954043
No, you're not the only one.

And yes, Icarus is not going to survive her first combat sortie at this rate.

We might be able to back her up before sending her out, but if the IFF bug doesn't get triggered, there's no way we'll be able to recover her cortical stack.

>>19954062

>Back her up.

Be careful she doesn't know where that is stored, because I wouldn't put it past her to decide having an identical twin would be twice as fun.

>>19954058
Make a note to have a fork upgrade the armory compilers at the Beta Site.

Prepare press releases for when the Vonny attacks become too public to keep secret.

>>19954058

>>19954085

>Icarus wanted a twin sister.

That would seriously be the most adorable thing ever.

>>19954058
Yes she will, I do hope that our daughters become good friends. How do you think they'll get along?

I'm not sure I can feel the same confidence you do for your successor, she's growing up so fast and I'm worried about her. Do you have any advice for this?

Get to making Alexa and tossing it in the body we're preparing.

>>19954110

>>19954110
She's getting a triplet set of little sisters as well, since we've got those Sabers on standby.

>>19954251
The sabers are replacement bodies in case Reimu, Minaka, or Anne die.

>>19954276
No, their spares are stored at the Alpha Site.

It would be stupid to have their spares stored on the other side of the planet, when they can be stored easier at their own base.

>>19954058

It's not like their state vector can't be transmitted over to Beta.

a thought occurs: How is Icarus going to respond to meeting Alex?

Not the female clone one, the 'real' one.

>>19954484
But then they'd have to be transported back to the Alpha Site.

It's better to have the bodies at the Alpha Site, and have the Sabers at the Beta Site for Icarus in case she needs more or to activate with more forks.

>>19954518

This will be after at least inadvertently attempting to seduce his daughter/sister, and him being ten times the size of anyone she's met in her brief life?

Probably with a panicked 'meep' and hiding behind the nearest convenient object, be it people or furniture.

>>19954518
pretty sure she already knows him via memories. so a meep or two about the size and then being fine with it

>>19954531
after training there isn't going to be a true "main" base

just a forward HQ where the nanites are heaviest. we'll want the bodies on the base closest to that.

If the bodies are even combat ready on birth

>>19954531
>have the Sabers at the Beta Site for Icarus in case she needs more or to activate with more forks.

I'm not sure you get this: the Sabers are the replacement bodies for Team Alpha. They are not for Icarus to fuck around with, either metaphorically or literally.

You are right that they'd be better located in Alpha, though. Let's do that.

>>19954576
>>19954538

It would be hilarious if she hid behind the 'liitle' Alex.

"Why are you hiding from him?"

"He's big! big is scary! I didn't know that.... Plus, you know, I'm not sure how he'd react about... us...."

"Probably with high fives. Calm down."

>>19954616
>"Probably with high fives. Calm down."

haha. Alex will be 100% bro

>>19954616

"It took you less than a day to seduce the boss' daughter. Alexia, I'm so PROUD."

"hnng- put us down, this hurts. Also, I think Icarus is having trouble breathing."

>>19954607
Just because they were bought for the girls of team alpha, doesn't mean that they have to stay appointed to them.

It would be faster to just buy 3 more Sabers and have them shipped to the Alpha Site than to arrange for them to transported from Beta to Alpha.

And if Icarus doesn't trigger the bug, then it'll be easier to just put her backup State Vector into one of the Sabers at the Beta Site.

And if she does, then the Beta Sabers can have forks sleaved into them and begin training immediately.

>>19954650
>>19954616
>>19954629

>>19954677
Just load them on a sub that's bringing Firewall personell in and have it take bodies on the way back. Failing that, we have teleportation.

Also, Icarus is apparently slightly illegal. Let's save forks, if they even work, for when shit is actually going down.

A few things cross your mind - mostly regarding how much more experience he has in regards to the whole 'dealing with concern over your children' thing. Given that he was a father fifty fold - perhaps more than that, even - he'd have some advice.

"Have you ever-"

"Been worried for the safety of my children?" He finishes the question for you, and opens the door to the Sandboxed Datalab. "Of course I have. I still do - that's why I Joined firewall, after all." He pauses. "Well, that and the War Game invitations. Maybe when this is all over I'll go see wether that platenary total war A.R.G. still wants some star power to boost its rep..."

You look at him quizzically. "How did you know what I was going to ask?"

"Please," he said, strapping himself into the plus sized chair at the room's center left, "This is -exactly- the sort of scheme my first wife would have pulled had one of our daughters been in the same situation as yours.

>Best of First Three: 33

You proceed to perform one of the most spectacular State Vector Alpha Forkings that has ever been done, or ever will be done. To put it in perspective, had you recorded this operation with a backlogue, rather than keeping its data trace in perfect silence, you could have posted it under one of the many false flag identities you keep lying around to poke things when necessity demands it and have had him make the mad reps. It is the sort of once in a lifetime procedure that doctoral students reference in their thesus.

Yeah. You're fucking -excellent- at the data manipulations.

"So," Alex asks from his seated position, "when are we going to begin?"

"It's alread finished."

You are not the one who said that. The voice is a touch lighter than yours is normal, and quite a bit deeper - a contralto to your soprano. Floating as a hologram next to Alexander is a young girl whe looks somewhere between the ages of thirteen and seventeen, had she been a normal, non-infonative. But the fact that it is an image, rather than a cloud of particulate data, is good. The fork has had no network access, or even program access to create herself an Arvatar.

This is her Residual Self Image. A thing unique to brain-scanned infomorphs and biologicals.

>Wat Do?

>>19955183
Hello Alexa, it's lovely to meet you.

You already know what is going to happen.

Please take good care of my daughter, make sure she learns everything she needs to fight and doesn't get in too much trouble. If you can, be her friend. She hasn't had one before.

>>19955183
Tell Alex we just birthed a nearly perfect sister. His parents can stop trying now. Ignore if they're not alive.

Ask if Alexa she has anything she wants to do before we get started.

Make sure Icarus knows she'd getting a roommate.

>>19955183
Prepare Alexa for sleaving into her new biomorph once it arrives at the Beta Site.

Inform Icarus that her trainer will be arriving soon.

Nothing further for Daedalus; switch perspective to Anne.

>>19955183

>>19955276
>>19955277

>>19954300
I hate to bring it up, but I think you forgot to stat the bayonet.

>>19955183
Say hello to Alexa, let the new siblings talk with each other.

In the meanwhile arrange for transport of Alexa to Beta and of the Saber bodies out of Beta.

>>19955121
Because it's better to have spare bodies prepared at the two primary bases than to have to move bodies around.
Purchase of the bodies is easier, faster, and more efficient than moving them.

>technically illegal
The Godzilla Threshold applies. Everything short of Gray Goo has been authorized by ReaDS.

>>19955605
We should still try to avoid it since we have plenty of perfectly good human alternatives. I mean, if the Vonnies have gotten a foothold on-world, or communications are about to be wiped out, then sure, make all the AI forks. But until such a situation, we should use humans.

>>19955478
Seeya ReaDS have fun

>>19955774
if the AI forking works with the IFF, then we can ditch using human girls entirely aside from what we've already trained. And we tell HQ that it works, I'm sure they'd love not having to use child soldiers. My plan for "Icarus" was a oneway trip to the swarm via FTL probe to see if they eat her or disarm her.

If not, DOLLS is a great set of bodies for our girls yes.

>>19955881
Fuck your "plan." That's our daughter you're talking about.

I get the feeling that when Alexandra sees the armour she has it will be a "Terran up the night" dream sequence for her, complete with music and a massive explosion to end it

>>19955917
By which I mean, sending her out to the swarm is quite ridiculous. We wouldn't be able to retrieve her, since if we sent an FTL probe to drop her off, the replicators would likely eat the probe, too, which we can't be having.

>>19955917
>state vector back ups

>>19955942

>>19956018
>doll attached to pod
>pod detaches
>probe flys away

ah. the lewd has fogged some brains I see

>>19955961
Probes which are also keeping a healthy distance, not "dropping off" anything. It's quite different. Sure, there are methods of long distance delivery, but you never mentioned that, either.

The probes that we sent out were described as not being able to get a good resolution on the replicator swarm on the asteroid base they're nomming. This says to me it would be difficult to determine the success of dropping Icarus on the asteroid to see if she triggers the IFF bug. Any one we send out there, one way or another, isn't going to come back. Either the replicators eat her, or they rupture her suit/armor, and she dies from exposure to vacuum. I don't think it's worth it to experiment with her like that at this point.

>>19956045

Still not doing that to Icarus.

>>19956045
It the probe is anywhere near enough to drop off Icarus, it will get eaten. Not to mention there is no way to retrieve her.

9/10, was fooled.

>>19956082
It can be any fork, "Icarus" is just the first named one.

Purpose of the Dummy Plug System:

AI Forks in DOLLS trigger IFF ERROR: Child soldiers need greatly reduced.

AI Forks in DOLLS do not trigger IFF ERROR: Child soldiers have large numbers of replacement bodies.

AI Forks in clones do not trigger IFF ERROR, but not enough volunteers(either total or willing to be forked): AI driven suits with clones bodies inside to hope that triggers the IFF Error.

>>19956134
thus the "one way trip." The probe could impart the needed momentum to get the pod to the swarm. Her State Vector would be backed up at home, so she would not "die."

>>19956182
Then don't call it Icarus. Call it a DOLL. Regardless, the DOLLS won't be ready for months yet, unless enough of us decide to get a new body from the Face Conglomerate to send out into space. Otherwise, we're gonna be dealing with the scout Vonnies before that happens.

>>19956274
yes, but we can put an AI fork a in a civilian clone body today to test it.

That'd test the viability just fine.

I just used "Icarus" there because she's the first of the DOLL series. Sorry.

>>19956324

Looks good to me. We just need to find out Alexa's Stubborn and Int (I get the feeling she might be the 'Dumb' one of our recruits. If by dumb you mean 'Still well above average')

>>19956512
yeah, I could see a 6 or 7

>>19956512
I could see her with lower smarts, and higher stubborn, yeah.

>>19956335
Even if we put a forked AI into a civilian-grade biomorph an put it on an FTL ship today, and had her go out the airlock towards the current position of the nanite swarm, it would still take days at best, and weeks at worst for the forked AI/biomorph to arrive at the swarm.
The FTL ship still had to drop off the body at a safe distance that a Vonnie won't attach to the ship and begin suborning it.
Our projections show that the scouts will arrive in a week; it's more efficient to wait for the scout nanites than to send a body on a one-way trip to the Oort Cloud.

so, where are you pulling the rest of this shit from? because it smells something fierce.

and there went the day

>>19956632
That can be done, but if they have an advance group, said group could stumble upon your ftl craft.

>>19956663

it's the same risk we took with the probes

we can put the DOLL in a sleeper pod and put it a few more days out. or just have the probe anti-matter self destruct at a safe range if threatened.

>>19956663

I can see it now.
FTL drop test subject far away from the main swarm. Ship appears in the middle of scout swarm.

>>19956707

>>19956703
>anti-matter self destruct at a safe range if threatened.

>>19956703

We weren't fully clued in on swarm behavior back then, and we were checking up on the libertarian colony because we lost contact.
We didn't know the swarm was there till the probes told us so.

>>19956733
being unaware of the risk doesn't mean it wasn't there. READS knew that the colony had gone unresponsive and took a calculated risk.

>>19956762

And now we happen to be better informed, and some of now judge the risk to be too great.

I'm going to try to list some stuff we should do as Daedalus:

Prepare press releases for when the Vonny attacks become too public to keep secret.
Purchase three replacement bodies for Alpha Base. (>>19955597 for appearance.)
Include retractable monatomic graphene bayonet in abstraction of X-1904 Automatic Grenade Launcher, unless it is negligible.

>>19956414
If I might make a few suggestions:
That red is a little hard to read off of. Not impossible, but it could stand to be a little lighter.
You probably should clear a space on Alexa's sheet for arglasses.
And also, I would change all the stat ups to the Strength Melee, Smarts Ranged, Stamina HP, Speed Defense style like you have in Anne's sheet for completeness. For your reference should you chose to do this, the only bonuses to effective stats are Minaka's AotQ's Strength bonus, probably the strength bonus for the Vanguard armor, and possibly that armor's Stamina bonus as well. Anne's Lady Glove has smarts as a bonus for the weapon, which might mean it rolls smarts to attack or something, I dunno.

>>19957177
He could perhaps use a white font color for Alexa's gear. The stats look okay to me in black.

I'll try this two ways.

File: 1342742152499.png-(1020 KB, 864x1152, mahoushoujosheet2.png)

>>19957583
and the second. Which one do you guys think works better?

>>19957583
>>19957594
I just noticed I missed the Strength Attack on the Vanguard armor. Fixed in the PSD now.

>>19957594
>>19957583

I personally like >>19957594 a bit better, the white text sorta stands out and grabs your eyes more then the others' equipment lists.

By the way, thanks for listening to my suggestions.

>>19956632
ReaDS also said
>The scouts, though may be anywhere from a week out to just launching

We don't know when they will arrive, and it's more efficient and safer to wait for the first scout swarm to make planetfall and send Icarus to it to test the limits of the IFF bug than to send a body in a capsule towards the main nanite swarm.

>>19957657
Of course, I always welcome suggestions and criticisms.
I'm no professional, I just took a photoshop class in highschool and seem to have a half decent intuition about what looks good.

>>19957594
I prefer the second one with the all black text. The white stands out too much in comparison to the rest.

Maybe a slightly lighter hue of red for Alexa, not that much lighter but a bit lighter.

>>19957594
Definitely this one.

File: 1342742978716.png-(1 MB, 864x1152, mahoushoujosheet.png)

Slightly lighter.

>>19957760
That's much better.

>>19957689
Do you mean from the red in >>19956414 or >>19957594? Because if the latter, I'm fine either way as long as it's a small lightening, but if the former I could not disagree more.

this please photoshop friend

>>19957871
durp
>>19957594

I have to go. Throwing in a vote of iGlasses for Alexa in case it becomes relevant while I'm gone.

Also >>19956960.

And >>19957760 is a great shade of red.

"I know this is somewhat redundant," you tell the two of them. "But you have a little under an hour before I'll be able to sleeve you into your temporary body, Alexa. Why don't you and you brother get to know each other.

The two look at each other, smiling.

"So this is muscle-beast is my big brother, huh?" the girl says. "I was expecting somebody with a more heroic figure."

The large man snorts. "And this twig of a girl is supposed to be my little sister?" He queries. "I hope to Christ, Buddha and all Minor Deities that her morph has more meat on her bones than her self image."

The two lock eyes, glaring. Neither back down. Then the grins split far wider than they had been before, until even that splits, the two sharing in their very distinctive laugh.

"ADOHOHOHOHO!"

Those two settled, your hologram qietly winks out of existance.

You figure you hould give them some time alone with each other - in the chaos of your worry you left several strings hanging. Their is a missive, from one of the Admins of a (relatively) nearby world, with a quantitave model of his successful attempt to get an eye at the heart of his local swarm. The video is from a sublight detatchment of a super luminal probe, lasting approximately .1 kiloseconds post contact with the Vonnies.

The things were comprised of whatever materials they could find amongst the rubble of a former research station, as though a sort of skeleton key in combination with genetic algorithm dictated their construction. Individual Vonnies were thick as locusts with the debris, the ones that combined seemed to serve as the first stage of digestion, breaking down pieces to sizes their uncombined bretheren could use to replicate. A grisly sight, you see the HUD of the system showing functional breakdowns throughout the audvids final moments, until at last the feed is cut.

Grisly, but it does confirm the possibility of one of your more ethically questionable ideas.

>Icarus fork when main swarm arrives.jpeg

Only reason I'm doing this, god help me.

rolled 10 + 15 = 25

>>19958638 dice

Sending a single DOLL really is not a good idea, purely from a scientific point of view.
We know that the IFF bug, while 100% in human girls, is 50% triggered by young boys, and 0% in neoteniks.
Just 1 DOLL surviving or dying isn't a good test, because the bug might only be triggered 50% in infomorphs modified to be young girls. Or 75%. Or 10%. We need a large set of data to actually be sure, and that requires using up lots of ship-building resources (all of which are currently tied up building the sensor net or our defense and evacuation fleets) and lots of bodies that could instead be kept as backups for the Magical Girls until the DOLLs are ready in 6 months.
And we have no way of recovering all of those bodies used once they enter the nanite swarm.

>>19958613
>>19958393
Oh yeah, this roll was for making a Muse, not for creating another infomorph and sending them to die on a pointless mission.

File: 1342748400906.jpg-(158 KB, 600x800, Daedalus 3.jpg)

You put off using your abilities for nefarious purposes for now, mostly because all of your ship building resources are tied up with more important things like the sensor net and building the fleet.

Going back to your console - th hub from where your mind program interfaces with the rest of your software - you decide that both your daughter and Alexa need a muse like the other girls. Icarus could probably use the assist with the targetting, given how unused she is to living within a biological frame. Alexa, you decide, should not be left out of this mix, if only to ensure that morale remains high. Adding cute things to distract from bad things tends to do that. And, since your totally awesome at the coding, they are cutish, rather than genocidal.

A fork that you had left with your daughter - whom is -finally- wearing some clothes, even if it's just a really big tie-dyed shirt - informs you that your daughter demands that her infomorph be hosted upon a cetholomorph rather than in her armor's computer. She says that she could probably dummy rig all of the targetting functions, and that the cethalomorphs are 'totally radical' like the cthulhoids.

Oh damn, she's talking like him. Didn't you cut her off from that stuff?

But you don't really see the harm. Maybe you're doting on her, but for the next ten hours it -is- her birthday. You quietly order a cethalomorph shipped to beta site.

File: 1342750325612.png-(19 KB, 450x450, Luuhy.png)

You give your daughter's muse an Arvatar that stylistically represents its natural form. A greyish purple hue of skin, ten long tentacles acting as legs and arms for a large, bulbous head. In one tentacle, a cup of tea which it drinks with its humanish mouth, presently showing a contented grin. Two wide, smiling eyes that match the arvatar's cartoonish style sit above the mouth, one of which is covered by a dapper monocle. Atop his head, a polished black suade tophat.

His name is become Zhamothluuhyu. Luuhy for short. The most elegent gentleman with ten tentacles.

The form your give to Alexa's avatar is no less fantastical, but much more fierce than the dapper and friendly looking squid. Clad in silvered powered armor is a dragon become humanoid, his face of neutral expression, his eyes pouring out with the ferocity of courage. In one of his hands is a banner, a blackened field with a red comet soaring through it as though it were the night sky. In his other, a large gun, too unwieldy to fire much more than celbratory shots into the air with but a single arm.

His name is Sarge. Simple, and exactly reflective of his brusque personality.

My Cadets Are Horrendously Bad
-posted by TheRealRedComet183902

tags: Cadets, Basic Training, Epic Fail, Funny

Description: So yeah Firewall's got me training some newbies into ship shape because my last sortie didn't let any of the rest of my team get a shot in. The girls need some work. Pinky's got the right attitude I want, but unfortunately she really needs to get used to how much faster she goes with the power armor. She ends up overswinging with her blade and knocking herself on her ass from putting too much power into her strikes.

Ironic, coming from me, I know.

Ms. Brunette's biggest issue is her lack of confidence. I feel like if I look at the poor girl too long she'll just break into a thousand tiny pieces. But at least she's got the maths right in popping up those shields - apparently, when I'm not looking at her and making her shake apart, she blocks 90% volume of fire, and can take out the turrets pretty reliably with those cryo bombs.

Blue is probably the best of the three. Just the right amount of aim with that bow, and she's beginning to get the hang of those pistols of hers. The biggest problem I see with her is her attitude. One cannot afford to be pessimistic on the battle field. Still, she'll probably me moving over to live fire exercises first.

The alarm bells are going off in your head. All of the alarm bells. Whoever this 'theTRUTHisoutthere' fellow may be, you are certain that e is not supposed to know about anything regarding Operation Mahou Shoujo. That he brought it up so casually on a major public fora suggests that he is of that certain type who just loves to dig deep into things civilians are not meant to know. You fork off a strong beta fork to deal with the operations of the ongoing defense project and the oversight of the local ReaDS. This investigation is more important.

You will direct this -personally-.

Leaks like this could be deadly to our attempts at defense of the arcologies

You open up the video, prepared for drivel, or worse, mindless static. Conspiracy nuts just love to throw around 'encrypted' junk files that have nothing inside them. The first audvis begins to parse and you have your forks attempting to decrypt as it goes.

"Hello, Daedalus."

The voice is male and female, a baritone and a soprano, perhaps even more than one, you aren't wholly sure. But this was not what you expected.

"I'm actually somewhat glad that you came to this video first, rather than storm my old site." An image fades in, of a man falling down stairs, whilst another claims to have warned him. "That probably would have further painted me a nut - but that's just what I needed for this little thing to work. Now, pay very close attention here, these are important and you wouldn't want to lose them."

"Partridge. Oregon. DeGrasse. Hawking. Armstrong. Gilead. Hammerton. Thorton. Marseille. Braavos."

Odd. Those are the names of the ten Arcologies that house intersystem quantum entanglement communicators.

The voice becomes almost sing song. "Do be competent about that, dear. Oh, and don't try to find me - I don't exist, and I don't approve of Rick's methods for this indeed insurmountable crisis. But that's why he's the leader, and I'm not - he always was more cold blooded than I was."

>Wat do?

>>19960702
Interesting.

Do some checks on the server anyway, don't kick down the front door yet.

Also set a fork to investigating quantum entanglement and how it could relate to the Vonnies.

>>19960702
Set a fork to dig up whatever we can, it might be useless but we have to try it.

Check aside from the communicators if there is anything that marks those places out

Then check back in on our recruits

>>19960702
He's not really telling us anything we don't already know.
We KNOW already that the scout nanite swarms are going to target the quantum entanglement comm centers first.
They couldn't tell us anything useful?
And then telling us that they're not cold-blooded enough to actually be able to save us from this crisis; great vote of confidence there.
I can see why they're not the leader, but Rick (the stoner bastard that he is) has the position.

Fuck, I just want to slap this person around for wasting our goddamn time.

Continue checking the server, find where it is located and when it was put together and went online.

>>19960702
That ordering can't be coincidental. Run a systems check of the Partridge interstellar comms facilities, then the others in the order the arcos were listed.

Rick is the leader specifically because he has no ambition. He has no desire to actually use the staggering amount of power at his disposal. The only things he wants to do are chill, and let people do their own thing.

He is literally incapable of fucking things up.

>>19960868
Could it be the predicted order in which the Scout Vonnies will attack?

>>19960875
Or perhaps that's what he wants propel to think.

>>19960911
That is another thought I had.

>>19960915
>propel
People, friggin autocorrect.

>>19960875
I figured it was because Rick would never give us up, or let us down. He certainly wasn't going to run around, or desert us. He would never make us cry, tell us a lie, or say "goodbye".

>>19961027
No, that's just what he tells everyone who actually asks him why he's the leader.

>>19961046
That sounds entirely in character from what we've seen.

>Last Post Until Monday. The Rennaisance Fair Beckons.

Stepping back, rather frustrated at the lack of new information the man gave you, you wait for the forks to finish their work, but for some reason you have the distinct feeling that all of this is a dead end. The one's in charge of decrypting the video came up with some sixty gigabytes of the same picture as was shown in the video. Or, at least, an altered version. The man who is going to be the 'scary piece of shit' has an arrow pointing at him marked 'Sober Rick'. The man who is warning him about stairs has another arrow, labeled 'me'.

You have no idea what this has to do with anything. Like that goddamned list, neither by alphabetical order or order of their construction dates, complete fucking use-

And then the thought hits you that he might have just told you the order in which the scouts will attack. You're not entirely sure if that's a valid interpretation, or how the fuck he would have come across that information, but you'll keep it in mind.

More metadata comes in. The server was a custom job, hooked into an ethernet jack next to a Quantum ENtanglement Communicator on the other side of transhuman space. The site was built thirteen days ago, and the server was only manufactured two days before that, by a Compiler registered under the name Idon Texist.

What a fracking waste of time.

you could be writing more shoujo-ai(sp) for us to lewd all over.

havee fun!

>>19961133
Have some human Firewall analysts take this apart.
It's probably a waste of time, but whatever.

Then we can skip to watching Icarus meet Alexa, and make her first friend.

Is posting back up?

>>19961219

>Friend.

Well, I guess that's one way of putting it.

rolled 54 = 54

>>19961589
It's perfect, is what it is.

>>19961133
I don't think its necessary to "sunder the earth around him". Finding him, finding out what he knows about the Vonnies and their attack plan, and why he's so adamant about Rick, would be a good start.

Task a few processes with investigating the given sites for any clue that could lend validity to the idea that these will be the Vonnie's first targets.

>>19961133
Rick is the type of person who isn't suited for leadership. How is he going to stick it to the man if he is the man? By getting high and posting secret government info in the public domain pretending to be a conspiracy theorist and making fun of 'sober rick'. Many people who you believe to be harmless conspiracy nuts could actually be SECRET GOVERNMENT AGENTS. The truth is out there man, the conspiracies are conspiracies.

>>19963057
An interesting theory. How do we know you aren't a government plant yourself?

>>19963518
If I am, that just proves I'm telling the TRUTH, bro. Rick WANTS to tell the TRUTH, but he can't, so he does anyway but framing it as a conspiracy so it's not taken seriously.

>That probably would have further painted me a nut - but that's just what I needed for this little thing to work
When the rumours start flying, everyone will be like "oh, that's just that crazy conspiracy theory, it can't be true". The rumours are true bro. By telling you the truth, he makes you blind to it.

Why else would the picture specify "sober rick" instead of just "rick"? To differentiate him from the "me" character. How else would he have access to all that info? How else would he create a false identity that a high-ranking AI couldn't see through? How else would he have got physical access to a quantum entanglement communicator? High Rick really doesn't like the bad vibes that sober Rick's putting out, training all them child soldiers and shit. It's all there bro.

>>19963596
Okay, yeah, you got some points.
But we also don't like getting eaten by voracious Von Neumann nanite swarms, so High Rick can go and get himself stuffed; at least Sober Rick is trying to save us all.

>>19962924
Same
ReaDS is handling it well enough to keep it interesting though

Prepare press releases for when the Vonny attacks become too public to keep secret.
Purchase three replacement bodies for Alpha Base. (>>19955597 for appearance.)
Include retractable monatomic graphene bayonet in abstraction of X-1904 Automatic Grenade Launcher, unless it is negligible.
Realize Icarus's pet squid is going to get its cephalopod ass killed if it goes into combat with her. House it in her arglasses, but make it able to control the cephalomorph via wireless, so the body can be replaced easily. Give the actual creature instincts to follow and protect Icarus if uncontrolled.
Be the Alexa.

>>19961133
The server's NOT useless. If we hack it, we can leave a message that our "Friend" is likely to see.

>>19963057
>>19963596
Except EVERYONE knows Rick as a stoner. We don't know anyone who's ever seen him sober - except maybe our new "Friend"...
What if Sober Rick really is a Scary Piece Of Shit? If we accept that hint at face value, we could speculate that Rick has been planning this for a while ("I can't wait")
This whole IFF bug seemed awfully convenient, really. They're immune to our best weapons, except child soldiers?

If this hint is true, it could very well mean "Sober Rick" has staged this whole crisis as a power grab. Of course OutThere could just as well be on the Vonnies' side himself.

Or the whole thing could be a massive Red Herring.

There's not much we can do about it right now, but we should keep it in mind (preferably in an encrypted section thereof).

Magical Luuhy unrelated.
