What other allies do we have to call on?

>>22442104
I have come back, now, at the turning of the tide. Let us see the end of this long struggle.

At the familiar voice: "Who are you?"

>>22442104

Looking at that patch, we really really need a campaign patch.

It's been a long ride.

The LiBrasta streaks out of the portal, already taking aim at the disgusting form Nurgle has taken. Two other machines follow behind, one taking to air, the other landing to ground with an earth-shattering impact.

"God of Plagues! I'll show you my sphere!" Crowe shouts, the LiBrasta's weapon charging. "VX! FULL BURST SHOOT!"

A blinding green-white pillar of energy slams into Nurgle from the LiBrasta as its two compatriots circle around.

"Block off his regeneration with your spheres! This is the Riot Wrench!"

The first companion, an orange robot with a gigantic wrench starts pounding into the god's form, flaring with green energy as it does so.

"I... I want that wrench..." Engineer says, gaping at the sight.

"Gunnery Carver... Answer to me," the last companion says, deploying a large, cruel looking gun that glows ominously. As power builds up, a female voice shouts. "THE GLORY STAR! FULL SHOOT!"

Another lance of energy strikes Nurgle and this time the god lets out a low groan and begins to shake as its form devours itself until nothing is left but a crater and the totaled skeleton of Great Mazinger.

>>22442301

CROWE

YOU'RE LATE. I'M DOCKING YOUR PAY

>>22442301

Good to see you, Crowe!

We'd get you all caught up on this, but we're running on a tight schedule. The quick of it is: that big red guy is the last standing foe. We need to prevent him from getting to the device that all of our sciencey-types are huddled around.

Also, the skeleton wearing ornate robes and a crown is tentatively neutral, but still dangerous as all get-out.

>Arbalest covered in spores

Is Elaine in range for an Esuna? If we really want to get those spores out quick, we could try having her double-cast it with Lyla.

>>22442301
>>22442311
Like fuck you're docking his pay! I'm giving him a raise!

>>22442301
Make sure we're prepared for any hijinks from azalin's end- don't want him popping in to take control of the device at the last second. Maybe have Cheryl cast out her mind to try and find him?

>>22442329
I'm not sure an Esuna will cover this. Can anyone cast a Holy Aura on him? That would probably make the fungi shrivel and die.

Things are going well.
...Too well.
Like Khorne's all that's left, and Akuma took a lot of fight out of him.
Everyone make sure to take note of Azalin's position.
Maybe check to make sure there's not any illusions?

>>22442301
"Hey Crowe. Was wondering when you'd finally show up. Next target is the angry red guy. Azalin is the lich over there, you remember him from the briefing way back on Raccoon City? He's neutral for now."

>>22442311
"But you're still getting Combat Pay and that bonus you were promised, so don't worry about it."

Can we move our perspective around so that we're close to Azalin?

"So, Azalin Rex. Was the fight entertaining enough?"

>>22442359
Fuck, right, I don't think we've had anybody watching him.

>>22442301
Avatar, quick, during this lull in the battle, fly down and use an Elixir to restore your Mana.

Cheryl, be ready to intercept anything that comes our way while the Avatar is refilling mana.

All forces, anyone got a visual on Azalin?

Aeshma, can you use See Invisibility?

>>22442301
Crowe, Rand, Setsuko! Welcome to the party, better late then never! Crowe, shoulda grabbed the Red one, man. Glad to have you back, all the same.

>>22442359

If Aeshma has a level 5 spell slot free, she could cast "True Seeing" on a nearby touchable ally or herself. That would take care of illusions and other magical deceptions, including invisibility/transmutation/polymorph and other such things.

>>22442400
She has <See invisibility> as a spell like ability.

>>22442383
Speaking of, where the hell did you end up, Crowe? And how did you get back here?

>>22442430

True, but "True Seeing" also sees through magical disguises. It wouldn't hurt to do a quick sweep and see who doesn't belong.

"I knew there was a reason I liked you best!"

>>22442329
"I figured as much. He's not the most subtle one with all those skull symbols on him."

>>22442382
The Avatar slumps down, shaking his head.

"Elixer isn't nearly enough... I'm spent. Holding back Tzeentch's magical ability was... one of the most extreme trials I've faced. The best I can do is swing a sword right now."

>>22442383
"I see our fame precedes us!" Rand laughs.

"Darling, don't be so egotistical!"

"Oops! Sorry."

"We're here on behalf of Crowe," Setsuko says over the comms. "When he returned, he told us of your struggles, but we weren't able to lend a hand until now. We were busy with... other foes."

Yosuke, Teddy, and Yu spill out of the TV, behind them a number of robots.

"We got 'em working!" Yosuke cheers.

>Received Pharaoh Man, Skull Man, HK-50, the two Huitzils, 12 Securitrons, a Mobile Emitter Squad, a Caster MP5 and the remaining Staves of Negation

>>22442366
"Quite entertaining," Azalin says, rising. "And I have kept my promise. I sat and did nothing until you tore the fat one and the arrogant one to pieces. With the idiot beserker keeping your machines tied up... It's time to fulfill my wish."

"LOOK OUT!" one of the Abjurers shouts as Azalin begins to chant. "HE'S CASTING TIME ST-"

>>22442526

"Curse your sudden but inevitable betraya- Wait, this doesn't really count as one, right? Getting-your-old-butt-bones-off-the-bench?"

>>22442526
Agrias, use Guthrang! You can counter his time stop!

>>22442526
Agrias, try to use Gurthang to counter the spell.
If that doesn't work, it should still render you immune to time fuckery.

>>22442526
No problem, Crowe! And yes, he's not very subtle at the moment, but trust me he's a sneaky- SON OF A BITCH. Agrias, please tell me Gurthang has left you unaffected by the Time Stop!

Use the Staves of Negation on him.

They're basically a "Unstoppable dispel"

>>22442526
Agrias use Gurthang! Touya use the Orgone Canceller thingy! Random TG person with Staff of Negation, try and find his ass and Negate him!

If you're able to move, Agrias, head towards the Staves of Negation.
They'll probably come in handy.

>>22442526
Quick, anyone who can counterspell or is otherwise unaffected by tine fuckery, stop that lich!

>>22442526
"-OP!" the Abjurer finishes as Azalin now stands at the very edge of the Barrier of Life, surrounded by strange looking robots and screaming ghosts. At his side is a bizarre, heavily armored machine the height of a man that looks almost like a demonic turtle. Undead continue to march onto the field from two glowing gates to either side of him.

"I assume you remember the Army of the Dead you summoned?" Azalin says, a prismatic sphere shimmering around him. "I've been following you for a while, picking up pieces you discarded, studying you, learning from you. Biding my time. I do appreciate the help, but I have my own plans for such a device as this."

>>22442611
"R-right!" Touya says. "It'll be ready next time!"

"That move was similar to the Larseilam, but different... I think I can calibrate the Brigandy to stop it, just give me a few seconds!" Katia says.

"Cursed lich... I won't be off my guard next time!" Agrias vows.

>>22442629
Shit! Everybody, shoot him in the face! WITH EVERYTHING!

>>22442629

We are going to need a giant ghost trap...

Egon, did you happen to have one on the ship?

>>22442629
Abjurers, get those Staves of Negation. One of you negate Azalin and those gates.

Matthias, find a weak point on that turtle machine and destroy it.

Douglas, use an Anti-Magic Cartridge and fire it at Azalin.

Aeshma, Darius, Agrias, Lavian, Alicia, Sonya, Knights of KI Tactical Squad A attack Azalin. Aeshma, use a Holy Aura burst to provide protection to the squad as they advance.

KI Devastator Squads A & B, KI Tactical B & C, use your proton phasers set to wide-beam and keep the ghosts back.

Delta Greens, use your Mass Rifles.

Pharaoh Man, attack the robots. Skull Man, use your Skull Shield to protect the White Mages.

Star-Lord, use NeiShot at that turtle machine, I don't want to know what it can do before you destroy it.

>>22442717
Wait, we were working on one! We took the Eiffel Tower AND Big Ben for it! Ah, but crap, that probably won't work. Still, we can ask Egon if it'd be possible to set it up fast enough for it to be of use.

i swear him exploding is still 'just as planned' for Tzeentch, even if this outcome only leads to him winning a bet or getting an edge in his Saturday game of paradox poker with the Deceiver, Emprah, and Cegorach.

Abjurer, surround his undead with <Wall of Fire>

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/w/wall-of-fire

Then, hit Azalin with spells in this order. Cone of Cold, Gust of Wind, Disintegrate, Pass Wall, Magic Missile, Dispel Magic.

Vitun, Cast <Pillar of Life> It shall heal living beings and harm undead.

Aeshma, Cast <Holy Word>

>>22442629

I'm guessing that the protection that Azalin has up is "Prismatic Sphere":

http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Prismatic_Wall/Sphere,_Minor_%283.5e_Spell%29

Kiryu can attempt to erect an AT field to slice Azalin and/or that machine into two.

Also, Staves of Negation cast all around him.

Hurl Ebon Lance of Longinus at him to try to shatter the barrier? It may be legendary enough to ignore qualifications for the barrier.

Otherwise, we're going to need a whole lot of stuff cast at him real quick.

>>22442748
Also, Paladin-Proctor Johan Kreuz, we ask that you and your men help defeat this lich. I assume the name Azalin Rex will give you some righteous fury to act on?

>>22442777
Why not just staff of negation the barrier?

>>22442629
So Azalin, how did you get the ghost army, I thought they were all revived by the Silver Crystal. Also, Robots don't really seem like your thing.

>>22442735
>>22442629
Have Aeshma use Holy Word instead of just Holy Aura.

"Dammit! Those souls were all supposed to have been laid to rest! How could you have gotten them without getting picked up by our sensors?"

Gotta keep the lich talking.

>>22442629
"Okay, in order, how did we continuously miss that an immensely powerful Lich was essentially stalking us?
How did you get those ghosts?
And what even are your plans? I assume they're not anything we'd find reasonable."

>>22442823
Prismatic Walls ignore Anti-magic.
You need to break it the correct way or it doesn't work.

>>22442748
May as well have Vitun use a Bit of Luck to make the Pillar of Life extra effective, if there's going to be a roll involved.

>>22442846
Ahem: The wall can be destroyed, color by color, in consecutive order, by various magical effects; however, the first color must be brought down before the second can be affected, and so on. A rod of cancellation or a mage’s disjunction spell destroys a prismatic wall, but an antimagic field fails to penetrate it. Dispel magic and greater dispel magic cannot dispel the wall or anything beyond it. Spell resistance is effective against a prismatic wall, but the caster level check must be repeated for each color present.

>>22442748

Seconding this.

Everyone halt all attacks on Azalin until this spell order is cast. Protect the Abjurers in the meantime.

>>22442902
Thirding. Flambe that smug skeletal bastard.

>>22442886
Someone can attempt using the Rod of Negation to disable the spells, but I doubt it will work.

It's worth a try though.

>>22442916

We can still probably keep his Undead army and whatever else at bay, though. Just no direct attacks on Azalin until that prismatic sphere goes down, since it has nasty effects that activate when someone attempts to directly assault it with the wrong stuff.

Also, Yellowman, what is the status of the device?

"I needed a new servant to understand this strange world of metal and wires you inhabit. Luckily, I found one while following in your wake. A strange child, but with an incredible talent that was only enhanced by her transition to undeath and the shedding of her mortal form," Azalin says, gesturing at the turtle-machine. "Say hello, Kaolla."

"Multiple mechanical targets detected. Initiating override codes," a dull, lifeless voice echoes from the machine, but one that you recognize as belonging to Kaolla-Su. Azalin's eyes flare as he laughs.

"You gave me more than even that... the poor child managed to access your probe droid during a rare moment of malfunction. Acting as an extension of my will, it wandered your ship and gathered what I needed," Azalin says. "...and like a ghost, when she was finished, Kaolla left, leaving you none the wiser. Cortical stacks... what an intriguing technology. All the skills and powers of the mightiest of warriors ready for transfer into new bodies. A grand gift to make for a grand king."

Dr. Cossack falls back with a horrid gash on his gut as Metal Man rampages within the Barrier of Life.

"Each of these robots is equipped with the knowledge of your best troops and their best techniques," Azalin says as the strange robots surge forward. "I'd look forward to seeing how they fare, but I have a schedule to keep."

Avatar, you're the backup to help interface with the Device if Cheryl is kept busy.

Cheryl, do what damage to Su that you can, then concentrate on your defense and that of the Avatar and the Psi Matrix; you MUST survive in order to guide the Device.

Redemption Squad, concentrate on defense, set up energy shields to protect yourselves and the White Mages. Lyla and Elaine, get within their protection.

Techno-Wizards, go all out. Firestorms on Azalin's troops position.

Psions, use your proton phasers set to wide area and try to thin the undead.

>>22443547

No direct attacks on Azalin until the prismatic sphere goes down. It nullifies anything until all the barriers are pierced, and throws a lot of save-or-dies to any target that attempts to do otherwise.

>>22443428

The Prismatic sphere protects from any projectiles until it goes down. The only other thing that I could think of that could work are either the Ebon Lance or exographic sniper rifles.

>>22443658
How many times do we have to say this, don't order troops to fire on Azalin until the Prismatic Sphere is down?

Also, guys, something to consider:

This may be a diplomacy event. Azalin's got enough cold bodies to throw at us until we're out of troops, and has a lot of countermeasures in place for any spells or stuff we can think of.

But perhaps there's a slim chance that we can convince him that it is in his best interests to let *us* use the device.

>>22443685
Oh...right. My apologies. Hmm, can we have the Abjurers determine what spells and what order would be required to nullify it?

>>22443713
We already know the order of spells to cast.
>>22442748

Also we have the Staves of Negation we can try.

Casting all of those spells will require all Abjurers.

Have the Psions use the Staves of Negation, otherwise we'll have to let the last Auror use one, and I'd like to avoid being pushed back that far.

>>22443826
Sounds good. Give those orders.

>>22443428

Got some diplomacy and exasperation here guys, think we should go for this?

>Order

Surely you've read up on the purpose of the Transspace Guard. If we were truly formed by the metaverse for the sole purpose of combating SUEs (who may as well be chaos personified), then our policies reflect that. We fix canons that move too far out of what is established; though this mostly occurs when SUEs or other meta-factions arrive to plunder/rape it, we are also obligated to use full force to stop any attempts to better those canons. It is fortunate that most of our missions have been morally black-and-white and that most of our opponents have been either wholly dedicated to warping the universe to their own ends and/or idiot-gods who just wanted to be the main character in every story, or wanted to have horrible deviant sex fantasies with various characters.

But we imprison and even kill people who attempt to "fix" a canon for the better. Not to mention the Requisitions branch. If you've done your homework, Azalin, you know that hardly everything that went on in there could be called "soft". There are elements of the Transspace Guard that are dark and light, but it serves to keep the faction as Objectively Orderly and Neutral as possible. Our very purpose for existing is to ensure that all of the metaverse moves along smoothly in perfect lockstep, regardless of the evil or good that goes on in those canons. As long as the events in those canons are restricted to their native corners of the metaverse and don't spill over into anyone else's shit, that's perfectly fine. I think we can be very accommodating as far as returning you to your kingdom and restricting the last Dark Power to an Impenetrable Shithole Of Shittiness, since that overlaps with our original intent.

Unless you just mean to say that you apparently know more than an entity that saw fit to create an equal and opposite reaction designed explicitly to hunt down and kill SUEs.

In which case: Oh.

>>22444056
If it'll keep him talking, go ahead and shoot your mouth off at him to your heart's content.
But he's already in the middle of chanting a spell, so I doubt that you'll get a response from him.
Also, this close to victory? He won't be swayed by your words.

>>22444110

Yeah, I guess you're right. We should at least see if the orders we sent out will do anything, or if he'll at least deign to explain to us what his plans are.

Also, tell the Persona 4 kids to get their Persona's out and join the fight.

Mechs are going to be targeted by Khorne next, have them tank him for a bit while Kiryu uses his quad Masers on Azalin's undead and robotic troops.

Hey MetaQuest OP,

I just gotta say that I have read this quest from the beginning, and the fact that it is finally coming to close (sometime soon) I just want to say now, while i see the thread, Thank you for an awesome adventure. I just want you to know that you are awesome!!!

>>22444244
>>22443826
Have the Psions use the Staves of Negation on Azalin's summoned ghost troops, and one Psion try to negate the Prismatic Sphere.

>>22444244

Shit, that's right!

Suffice to say I Wanna Be The Writefag, but I'm lazy about it. So it's kind of a personal jab at myself. If I post somewhere else I drop the name because I haven't done anything to earn it and don't wanna be one of *those* guys; y'know?

Maybe one day... Plus the fact that I'd like to get *some* kind of tabletop experience but lol if I can find a game anywhere of any sort due to my fucked up work schedule. Kinda hard to come up with writefaggotry pertaining to something like D&D or Warhammer or whatever if I don't have any hands-on experience; I would think.

Though I must admit, I've tossed around an idea about a Soroitas befriending a Vulpix... Why? Because I find the idea of a Sister with an adorable little fluffy flamethrower to be an entertaining mental image. Maybe with a little Fleur-de-lis on the Vulpix's collar...

>>22445409
Normally I'd make a joke about this not being the time to trade "Once this war's over" stories, but damn if that isn't the most surprisingly adorable thing I've heard...

>>22445409
Usually I detest all the 40K crossovers that spam the board...but THIS. This I think I would enjoy. An adorable story of friendship despite the grimderp of the 40th millennium would be much appreciated.

Here is some advice from the venerable Glen Cook:


"Write. Don't talk about writing. Don't tell me about your wonderful story ideas. Don't give me a bunch of "somedays." Plant your ass and scribble, type, keyboard. If you have any talent at all, it will leak out despite your failure to pay attention in English. And if you didn't pay attention, learn. A carpenter needs to know how to use a hammer, level, saw, and so forth. You need to know how to use the tools of writing. Because, no, the editor won't fix it up. S/he will just chunk your thing in the shit heap and go on to somebody who can put together an English sentence with an appropriate sprinkle of punctuation marks."

>>22445624
I agree whole heartily.

>>22445077
"THE FIGHT ISN'T OVER YET!" Khorne bellows as he charges the gathering of mecha between it and the Device. God Gundam catches the brunt of the attack on its chest and falls back, spewing sparks and fire.

"Grrrrr... Not yet..." Domon growls.

"Domon, get out of here, you'll make Rain worry!" Sara scolds as Dancouga raises its sword.

"Give us the likeness of love's soul..." Shinobu whispers as a portal opens and a massive beam of light bursts through to envelop the blade. "...to purge the evil dimension!"

Final Dancouga raises the blade over its head, now a towering pillar of reddish purple light.

"DANCOUKOUGAKEN!" the crew shouts in unison. "YATTE YARUZE!"

The pillar falls, cleaving into Khorne and slicing off a wing as the Lord of Rage shakes with pain and anger. A metal fist slams into his gut before returning to Mazinkaiser, the robot flying up to support his ally.

"God or demon, Mazinkaiser will take you on!" Kouji shouts. "You won't take a single step forward!"

Khorne roars and charges as the giant robots that remain fly to meet him.

>>22444244
Azalin only laughes as the Abjurers strip away his magical protection, the Barrier of Life shivering at the lich's touch. A breach in the barrier slowly begins to grow, while a chain of fireballs, delayed in blasting rip across the ranks of the Space Marines, slaying some, wounding all.
>Lose 9 Tactical Marines.

A pillar of divine light burns away a group of wraiths as beams of energy play across the undead horde that surges towards you. Aeshma manages to destroy a group of undead that closes in on her with the Holy Word, while fireballs explode among the corporeal undead thanks to Douglas. Despite an impressive bombardment and the hissing holy rain burning into their flesh, the undead manage to close. More and more of their fellows pour from the Gates Azalin set up as your troops hold the line against abominations ranging from stitched-together multi-limbed corpses, to giant flaming skeletons, to zombified Tekkamen and Black Ops bioweapons.

A group of slavering ghouls hop towards the melee team and Darius is there before they can reach the others. Ringil sings through the air, slicing apart ghoul after ghoul, zombie after zombie, before suddenly he cries out in pain. A heavily armored robot appears from the air to his side, shoving an unholy blade into his side. Darius yells a battle cry and attempts to press the fight, but the robot matches him move for move, accurately predicting each of his attacks and countering with exactly the right technique. Battle-wounds, the EBOC hacking, and the apparent prescience of the robot take their toll, and the unholy blade slides through his last heart.

Darius utters a long sigh as he collapses, Ringil clattering from his hand, the others already fighting for their lives against similar robots.

Matthias fires and swears as the round plinks off the heavy shell.

"Zat shell is too heavily armored! Something incredibly good at piercing vil be needed to crack it!" he reports.

>>22444244
Kiryu offers heavy fire support, his Triple Heavy Masers burning apart a dracolich arriving through the gate before it can take to the fight.

"Worker Eight you ain't!" Mustadio shouts, firing his phaser at the robot. The beam burns a small hole through the Robot Master, and Mustadio pays for the wound in blood, a metal disc humming through the air to slash open his stomach. The Engineer grunts in pain and staggers back but remains standing, one hand on his pistol, one on his gut. Two UNIT troopers are already pulled Dr. Cossack to safety while the rest fire. Metal Man is forced to go on the defensive, leaping around the area with impossible speed to dodge the shots while his homing blades cut into the UNIT ranks.

The Techno Wizards call down Firestorms, but a barrier of pure force springs up around Azalin, deflecting both the fire and Star-Lord's shot. The Psions immediately attempt to use the rods, but one by one their attempts fail... Until they reach the last remaining Auror.

>>22446084
When the eve of battle was dire
his footsteps on the field were heard;
he left in a blaze of scorching fire
off to battles long without a word.

From Cadia to Terra of yore,
from northern waste to southern hill,
through mine-field and great war
and darkening skies he walked at will.

With Psionics and Mages, Elves and Men,
with mortal and immortal folk,
with bird on bough and beast in den,
in their own secret tongues he spoke.

A deadly sword, a helping hand,
a spirit that refused to bend,
a trumpet-voice, a burning brand,
a weary warrior on the road.

A lord of wisdom throned he sat,
swift in anger, quick to laugh;
he suffered great in combat
and many fought on his behalf

He stood upon the field alone
and Chaos and Ruin both defied;
his sword was broken on the stone,
in Transpace his wisdom died.

To our friend Darius, he will never truly die for his brave soul shall be forever remembered.

"Uh... Uh... SHIT!" Fumbles swears as he repeatedly tries to use the staff like a wand. Something strange happens, though. The staff thrums with power and Fumbles utters a shriek of panic as electricity discharges all around him. Azalin is struck by the beam, convulses, and turns, glaring. His eyes glow for a moment as he looks at Fumbles.

"What?" he hisses. "What insanity is this? A mage imbued with anti-magic?!"

"Most of his defenses are down," the Avatar murmurs, fighting to keep on his feet. "...but beware his minions!"

The Nod Avatar stirs to life as Yamada races to it, the pilot promptly being slain by the machine's laser.

"Remote control enabled," Kaolla Su whispers from within her metal shell. "Engaging."

Char races for the device and the Farseers while your forces continue to struggle to hold off the ever increasing hordes of undead.

"Roight!" Sniper says as BLU finally respawns. "We're back, we're ready, an- Aw, what the bloody hell is this, then?"

Then the ground begins to shake.

>>22446325
"I remember what my life was like back when it was normal!" Yosuke shouts, throwing up a card and summoning his Persona while ducking under the axe of a Death Knight.

"No you don't, you wouldn't know normal if it bit you in the face!" Chie counters, directing her Persona to Rampage across a group of skeletons.

"WHAT'S TRYING TO BITE ME IN THE FACE ISN'T NORMAL!!!" Yosuke screams, his Persona barely saving him from a spear by leaping into the air and driving his attacker into the ground with a super heavy kick.

As the hordes of undead press your troops harder and harder the ground explodes just in front of your troops as a small building slowly emerges from the ground, a bright sign proclaiming a single word for all to see.

"SHOP!"

"Well, this isn't exactly what I was expecting to find!" Sylph says, smiling despite the carnage as she exits the door. Right behind her are two hulking soldiers armed to the teeth.

"Heh. Isn't it always this way?" one says, hefting an assault rifle.

"It's more fun for us anyhow," the other says, bringing up a shotgun. Two more figures exit the SHOP, a black and white haired man with a huge pistol and several swords, and a fox-eared blonde in a Chinese dress.

"...this will do. You'll get paid when we get back," the man says to Sylph.

"Glad to hear it! Oh, there are some of my customers now! Hello!" Sylph calls, seemingly oblivious to the violence around her. Until she pulls a shield from nowhere to block a hail of barbed arrows.

"Bruce and Regina told us about your group. We got what you sent," the black haired man says, crossing his arms. "I'm not sure what's going on here, but I can assume the undead are the enemy, right? They always are."

"Hey! Some of our friends might resent that remark..." the fox-eared woman shouts back. "...or resemble it, but Reiji, enough talk!"

"Right. Everyone out! Time to fight!" the black haired man shouts as people begin flooding from the entrance of the SHOP and into battle...

>>22446522

"ONE HUNDRED PERCENT, IT'S GOOD TO GO, JUST GET CHERYL OR THE AVATAR OR SOMEBODY UP HERE!!!" Yellowman shouts.

Azalin growls and grabs the edges of the breach in the Barrier of Life, pulling it wide enough to enter as the dark spellcaster races for the Control Chamber.

"NOT THE LICH! GET SOMEONE ELSE UP HERE!!!" Yellowman bellows.

>>22446522

>>22446546

Cheryl.

It's in your hands now.

>>22446559
Not Commando, but Unknown Soldier Red and Blue.

>>22446546
Cheryl, Avatar! Get to the device! Fumbles, keep the Mage unmagic'd. Everyone who's free, stop him from getting to the device!

FUUUUUUU

Good show MetaOP.

>>22446645
I know we have a massive fondness for Cheryl, I really do, but wouldn't the Avatar be a better choice for this? I mean...This is obviously post-serpent isle avatar. If there's anyone who understands that you need to keep the balance and NOT rock the boat, it'd be him, right?

>>22446749
I say we get Sousuke with the Arbalest to do a Psi-assist with the Lambda Driver.

>>22446749
This is humanity's will and imagination we're going to be reshaping, right? It should be a human that does it, for good or ill.

I think we can trust her to get it right.

>>22446749

The avatar will set things back in place.

But the will of mortals will want to make it right. Our goal isn't truly to put things back the way it was but to save our own as well.

And I am sure Cheryl will want to save Shepard. Rewrite it that he is freed of his contract with the G-Man.

>>22446645
Hey, Rock. I want your autograph when we're done with this!


Vitun, Grab Cheryl and use <Dimensional Hop> to get up here. It's short range so it should be fine.

>>22447802
Are you sure that'll be safe?
Have Vitun use a Bit of Luck just to be sure.

Marc can pick up the Avatar and fly up to the Control Room as well, with the X-COM Commando Squad providing cover.

Elaine, Raise2 on Darius. His service to the Emperor and the Guard aren't done yet.

Azalin didn't take down the Barrier of Life, only made a small hole in it; we can't snipe him.
But that doesn't mean we're completely out of options.
Douglas, grab up the Caster MP5 and start hosing down Azalin's minions.

Aeshma can launch the Ebon Lance at Su, that can hopefully create an opening for Mouse, Isel, and the Hacker Team to take control of the mechanical forces back, and maybe even counter-hack her network control.

Data, set your phaser to maximum and vaporize the stairs going up to the control room. That should slow down Azalin. Then assist the Hacker Team.

Techno-Wizards, cast Firestorm again, center them on Azalin's Gates; that should keep his reinforcements busy.

Pennysworth, hit Azalin with another negation burst; you get this to work and you can keep the staff as a wand.

>>22448987
We should add on a bit to this. Spy give a few sappers to Kanako so the both of you can get close and sap Su's ass

>>22451593
Yes, having Spy attempt to Sap Turtle-Su sounds good.

Pyro, Demo, Soldier, and Heavy can help hold the line, with Medic providing healing.

Scout should use his speed and follow Azalin in and do his best to slow him down in any way possible.

Engineer should try to erect a Sentry to slow down Azalin, though I'm not sure how well it'll work.

>>22448987

We could also have Egon use his Proton Pack to try to ghost trap Azalin, with any other phaser-equipped personnel using the proton setting to try to assist. It's especially suited to incapacitating ghosts and undead, so it might be worth trying.

The end is nigh...

WHAT WILL WE DO AFTER?!

>>22453123
Maybe have Scout pick up a vial of Aglaophotis-C as a final fuck-you to Azalin? Also grab someone's canteen of Holy Water on the way, and use his bat to bat the canteen at Azalin's head.
BLU (minus Engineer and Spy) can give Scout, Cheryl, Avatar, and Marc the covering fire they need to get past the mooks and get into the breach made by Azalin.

Ryu should get in there and try to slow down Azalin, as well.

>>22457273
Have the Bellzelute use the Larseilam system to Time Stop against Azalin and unleash as much dakka as it can.

>>22455785
Well... some people have...ideas. ; )

>>22457273

Might as well see if we can use the Vial of Pure Aglaophotis to any effect, in that case.

Alright guys, it's time to

FINISH THE FIGHT!

>>22458322

I can see it now.

Azalin reaches the device, but just as he's about to reach into it and activate it, he is incinerated by a giant green ray out of nowhere.

Everyone stops fighting as a deep, bellowing cackle booms across the battlefield. Slowly, a giant green D20 rises up and casts a giant shadow on the battlefield.

>SECRET BOSS ACTIVATED

>>22446645
Plans with the mechs.

A. Have the Sousuke link up to Cheryl to get the Lambda Driver cooperating.

B. Have Bellzelute counter-timestop Azalin and unload into his face.

C. Have Zeo teleport on top of Azalin and throw him into the abyss.

>>22458395
A d20 that only has 1s on it

>>22458481
Azalin is inside of the Life Bubble. I doubt there is room for a mecha inside of it.

>>22458481
We don't have time to have Sousuke link up with Cheryl. We have ZERO time and Cheryl needs to Dimension Hop to the Control Room ahead of Azalin.
Also, the Lambda Driver and Sousuke haven't been tuned like the Psi Matrix has to Cheryl; if we had time he'd be a big boost of power but it's just as likely right now for him to be a disruptive element in the Matrix.

>>22458522
Can we TK Azalin away?

>>22458154
I have borne witness to the beginning of the end.

Now I must yield to sleep.

I the thread dies before I wake, I have only this to say:

Good luck Command Crew. It's been an honour to serve. Stay Golden.

>>22458322
Came back to see how it ends, Alpharius? You missed the Open Door showdown.

>>22458154

"He's casting Time-" an Abjurer begins to shout, as Azalin begins chanting.

"STOP!" Touya shouts as the Bellezeute Brigandy emits a wave of Orgone energy over the battlefield. Azalin curses as his spell is countered, immediately beginning another.

"Larseilam Canceller activation successful, but it's on cooldown... If he tries it again..." Katia reports.

"Leave it to me and Gurthang. Time Cleaver, show us your power!" Agrias says, slashing apart a robot that strays too close as she raises the blade on high. Lightning crackles in the sky above as a bolt streaks down from the dark clouds to strike Gurthang. Agrias brings the sword down just as Azalin speaks the final words of his next spell, transforming the lightning bolt into a wave of energy that slams into the lich. Azalin staggers back, magically energy dispersing around him as his spell fails.

"Come on, Cheryl. Take my hand," Vitun says, reaching out to the young psion.

"Such a gentleman," Cheryl chuckles as she takes the hand and the two vanish, reappearing at the entrance to the Control Chamber.

"Go! Now!" Vitun gestures, drawing his mace. "We'll hold him here!"

Data fires his phaser, destroying the walkway up.

"That should slow him down," Data nods. Azalin finishes a new spell and disappears in a flash of light to reappear behind Vitun. The android grimaces. "...or not."

Vitun swings his mace, but the weapon rebounds off an invisible barrier around the lich. Azalin, for his part, ignores the cleric and pursues Cheryl. For a few moments your perception slows, is distorted, and then a katana splits into Azalin's side.

"You aren't the only one able to stop time," Ryu growls as he thrusts the Dragon Sword into the lich's side. Azalin just screams a word of power and grabs the ninja by the throat. Ryu struggles, then convulses as his life leaves him a withered corpse which Azalin tosses aside.

>>22459051

Ryu!

Fuck, everyones dropping like flies.

>>22459051
Damn.
Also, does Azalin even have anything to stab?
Just old bones and fancy robes right?

Just a repost of the wording of the wish or whatever:

"Restore all casualties and damaged or destroyed equipment of Taskforce 38, TSAB, Void Engineers and Grand Crusade as well as repairing the fabric of reality damaged by the STOB to it's normal condition. Also, repair all canons damaged by the detonation and return them to their original state. Seal the Orz in their Native Canon and remove all knowledge of the meta from them and their cross dimensional counterpart. Seal the Warp Gods in their original canon permanently. Create an empty copy of the Starcraft Canon for the Protoss of Zerg Quest to inhabit."

>Also, repair all canons damaged by the detonation and return them to their original state.

There was some concern that "Original" might mean a reset button for those canons, and it might be better to reword it as "Normal". But since the device is part mental and somatic, it may get the gist of what we mean.

>>22459113

He has HP. I'm guessing that when weapons or spells strike him or something, it just really strikes at the magic binding his soul to the mortal plane and to his skeleton.

>>22459051
Dammit, Ryu!

Rodger Young Crew! Proton phasers to maximum and slow down Azalin!

Mouse, Hacker Team, we need control of the robots, now! Use the Borg-derived attack utilities and the Iconian probe program!

Egon, get ready to give Azalin a face-full of protons; modulate for a corporeal undead.

Salarian Field Engineers, BLU Engineer, Dr. Solus, set up some turrets to try to slow down Azalin.

Guru's, guide Cheryl to where she needs to go.

>>22459139

Can we free shepard from G-Man?

>>22459176
Mustadio, I know your injuries are bad, but break off and fall back to the control room. Prepare a Seal Evil with the Caster Gauss Pistol and an Anti-Magic Cartridge, to shoot at Azalin as soon as you have a shot.

>>22459139
Should we just add 'and other allies' to the list?
Like if any of the native inhabitants of the SRW canon died helping us, or those goddesses who were Lind's reinforcements?
Or would that be covered repairing the fabric of reality

>>22459139
>>22459185

I dunno. This is the wish that causes the minimum amount of harm while restoring the good guys as much as possible. Since we're not exactly clear on what canon is, we might try to do so.... but the repercussions could be dire.

Also, I noticed that Grand Crusade should be Great Crusade. Should probably fix that.

>"Restore all casualties and damaged or destroyed equipment of Taskforce 38, TSAB, Void Engineers and Great Crusade as well as repairing the fabric of reality damaged by the STOB to it's normal condition.

The Ebon Lance sails through the air once more, piercing deeply into the mechanical turtle shell as Kaolla emits an electronic shriek over your comms that pains you to hear. The Lance changes shape, wicked barbs pushing apart the sides of the shell where it made a breach, widening the vulnerable spot.

"Come on, Avvie, we've got a date with destiny!" Marc says, scooping up the exhausted demigod.

"She paying for dinner?" the Avatar groggily jokes as the two fly up.

BLU team attempts to fight past the undead horde, but all that is rendered moot when Data torches the stairs. Then Kaolla-Su's shell suddenly sparks with electricity and another shriek echoes over your comm channels as your Robot Masters and the Nod Avatar slump over, their rampages paused.

"Not what I expected, but I'll take it," the BLU Spy says, uncloaking and dashing away from the machine while Azalin's undead minions close in on him.

Across the battlefield your troops struggle to hold off the undead hordes and the robot assassins mixed in with them. Armed with the knowledge of your combined troops and the armaments to use that knowledge effectively, the robots are by far the more dangerous. Several of your troops have already fallen, and as the attack on the Control Chamber unfolds, your White Mages fall under concentrated attack, the Redemption Platoon struggling to maintain a barrier around the healers.

>>22459243
Other way around. It's Grand Crusade, not Great Crusade. Somewhere along the line the two terms got mixed up and I started saying it too and yeah...

Grand Crusade.

>>22459250

If Kiryu isn't busy, he could jet back to the remaining troops and erect an AT field to shield them from the worst of the Robot Assasins' attacks. AT fields are only one-way in terms of firing, right? If so he could still keep firing while shielding the remaining troops.

>>22459250
Sniper, Matthias, Douglas! Fireball Cartridges right into Su's open shell!
Star-Lord, blow her apart!

>>22459283
Really?
I just started calling it Grand Crusade because I thought 'grand' sounded better than 'great'.

For the sake of convenience, OP, can we include those meanings in the mental component of the wish? It might not be a great thing to get dragged down in semantics in the very last thread.

Prawn B, KI Tactical Squads B and C, fall back and assist the Redemption Platoon in protecting the White Mages!
Prawns, use chain guns and TK fields to push enemies away.

White Mages, authorized to use Elixirs as needed! Use up every last point of mana you've got.

>>22459315

In this case, the healers and the triage area (including where the Redemption Platoon members are) might be the most concentrated area to fall back to and erect the AT field. Unless Kiryu can do delicate tasks like picking up the remaining survivors on the field before falling back.

"Got it!" Sniper says, taking aim.

"In my sights!" Matthias shouts.

"Here goes!" Douglas yells.

"SHINING LASER!!!!" Megaman cries as a column of shimmering energy bursts towards the machine.

Hey Raging Bull and alpharius, do you have a line we can drop to notify you guys of any possible TG Quest spinoffs?

>>22459434

All hail our lord and saviour.

Laser beats everything.

"Damn it!" Sniper curses as his shot and Douglas' plinks off the heavy armor of the machine.

"Got it, but not enough punch!" Matthias complains as his fireball detonates in the breach, wrecking a portion of the machine but failing to shut it down.

Then Megaman's Shining Laser bores through the opening and out the back, causing the shell to explode open in a spray of fluid, mechanical and electronic parts. A puddle of slick translucent fluid leaks onto the ground as the pale, mangled corpse of a young teenage girl slides from the interior of the device to collapse there.

"...it ...it was a girl?!" Megaman exclaims, taken aback by the sight.

Should we add Shin-ra to the list of associated allies?
Like just as a preemptive measure?

>>22459516
WAS being the key word, Volnutt.
This is a very evil man we're dealing with.

>>22459516

Captured and subverted to their will.

We will win this fight, we save her, bring her back to who she was.

>>22459516

It was Koalla Su. Then she may have been involved in the ruin of an entire galaxy. Then she was an undead thrall of Azalin. Now, she is hopefully at peace.

>>22459539

We already did and gave them a "Welcome to the Neighborhood" primer?

"Only the dead corpse of a girl in a tortuous un-life, Megaman."

"Mouse, get the Hacker Team to begin subverting the enemy robots!"

UNIT, now that Metal Man has been released from Su's control, reboot him and get him into the fight!

"Restore all casualties and damaged or destroyed equipment of Taskforce 38, TSAB, Void Engineers, Shin-Ra and Grand Crusade as well as repairing the fabric of reality damaged by the STOB to it's normal condition. Also, repair all canons damaged by the detonation and return them to their normal state.

Seal the Orz in their Native Canon and remove all knowledge of the meta from them and their cross dimensional counterpart. Seal the Warp Gods in their original canon permanently. Create an empty copy of the Starcraft Canon for the Protoss of Zerg Quest to inhabit. Restore the Eldar in the home canon of the Farseers of Taskforce 38."

>>22459636

Well, first make sure that Metal Man is now following TG orders and not Koalla's. Then if this is so, reboot him and then get him back to fighting.

If he is no longer suborned, should we deploy him to provide backup to the Redemption Platoon? Our healers' position is becoming overwhelmed.

Also, thoughts on Kiryu providing a protective AT-field bubble on the healers' position?

MetaOP, do we need to do anything to get our robot troops working again?
Or will they automatically re-initialize and come online next turn?

>>22459621

Can we have any of our white mages heal him?

I think most of our White Mages are dead, and the rest of the healing crew are slowly being overwhelmed.

>>22459516
Orders:
Techno-Wizards, cast Firestorm. Make sure to cover the Gates to prevent any more reinforcements from coming through.

Shadowrunners A & B, drink up the BPM Formula-115, and then go all out on the enemy troops.

Prawn B, KI Tactical Squads B and C, fall back and assist the Redemption Platoon in protecting the White Mages.
Prawns, use chain guns and TK fields to push enemies away.
Except one of you Prawns, use the Gravity Gun function to pull Darius and Ringil back to our lines for healing.

White Mages, authorized to use Elixirs as needed. Use up every last point of mana you've got.
Elaine, cast Raise 2 on Darius if we get him back. Fujin, cast Haste on Lyla. Lyla, cast as many Holies as you can.

TG Soldiers, Delta Greens, and Dystopian Squad, continue fighting.

Seifer, cast Flare to catch massed enemy troops.

Star-Lord, try to catch as many massed enemy troops as you can with the Nei-Shot.

Aeshma, Channel Luck to provide luck to our allies.

Agrias, use Holy Explosions to catch as many of the enemy as you can.
Lavian, Alicia, Sonya, protect her flanks.

>>22459734
Mouse, Deckers, use the Borg attack utilities you had prepared.

>>22459051
>Come back to see how it ends
Pretty much, it's one of the more interesting quests that /tg/ has ever had after all. And whilst I may not have really taken part in the quest since ravenloft, I have been keeping track of what has been occurring.
The body count really has racked up since the endgame began.
Will there be a list of casualties sustained at the end of it all?

>>22459846
Matthias, Douglas, Sniper, use Gravity bullets to create areas of increased gravity. Target the enemy robots.

Vitun, can you use Breath of Life on Ryu to get him back up?

Finalon, are you healed up?

Abjurers, cast <Hold Portal> on the gates. The spell should hold it closed for several minutes.

The flow of reinforcements from the Gates is substantially slowed as roaring infernos suddenly cover each one, incinerating the undead as they come through and giving your troops and allies valuable respite.

Your troops begin falling back to better shield the White Mages, firing as they go. The Prawns pull back the fallen Darius and his sword while their brethren fire lines of lightning and missiles into the onrushing undead. Proton phasers keep the ghosts at bay while conventional arms blast apart the more solid enemies. Your White Mages are quaffing potions and casting as fast as they can, the stock of supplies the kids brought being swiftly depleted from the sheer demand of healing.

A rotting giant roars, slamming a giant club against Heat's energy shield, the super-soldier forced to her knees by the impact as she struggles to maintain the barrier. The giant raises its club again and suddenly its head explodes. Heat breathes a sigh of relief and takes a moment to wave to Star-Lord, who waves back, then resumes firing, blasting apart a bone golem at the center of a cluster of slime zombies. The ground shakes as a platoon of Skeleton Warriors flies apart under the destructive power of Flare.

"Outta juice!" Seifer shouts, drawing Hyperion. "Now it's time for the real fun!"

"Gurthang, lend me your power!" Agrias cries as she brings the sword around again, sending a rippling wave of white light into the undead ranks that causes what it hits to fall to ash immediately.

The Securitrons had long been destroyed by your forces, but the Robot Master swiftly re-activate, rejoining your side of the fight. Mouse and the Deckers release their virus and some of the enemy robots shut down, though most remain. However, there is a notable drop in their response time and combat ability. Your troops begin to regain ground at a fast rate.

Then the cases of BPM-115 are broken out.

BPM is from the SNES videogame "Zombies Ate My Neighbors". It's the Big Purple Monster formula that generally gives you near invulnerability and massive increase in attack power for a few seconds.

"Some form of Energy Drain... I can, but I'll have to immediately begin casting additional spells or he'll just die again," Vitun states.

"Close enough," Finalon wheezes.

The Shadowrunners down the potions and immediately begin to sprout purple fur and immense muscle. With a howl of joy, they leap into combat, throwing around undead of all sorts like they were tinker-toys. They smash through black-plate, bone, and carapace alike with huge meaty fists while arrows, wraith-touch, and unholy blades simply rebound off their flesh. At this display, your forces begin to press the enemy back towards the fiery Gates from which they originated.

In the sky above, Khorne lets out a baleful howl as a massive Orgone Spear, a Final Dancouhou, a Meiou Attack, and a Fire Blaster catch him in the crossfire. Unable to maintain his physical coherency after such a prolonged and devastating assault, the Blood God's form falls apart.

Marc and the Avatar reach the entrance to the Control Chamber as Cheryl bursts into its inner core. Mouse and the other technicians wave.

"It's about time you got here, sweetcheeks, we got her all warmed up and ready for you," Mouse says, gesturing. "I hope you got your wish r-SHIT!"

Cheryl turns, but fails to get the TK-Field up in time, taking a sickly green ray full on that causes her to collapse. She gasps in pain as most of her body's moisture is forcible evaporated from her, leaving her weak and disorientated. Azalin Rex strides into the room.

"You had quite the head start my dear, but why run when you can chain teleport?"Azalin chuckles mirthlessly. He pulls a small gem from his pocket. "Still, your power is intriguing. I think I will take you for further study."

Cheryl fumbles for her canteen as the Gurus help her to her feet, one gently taking the water container and putting it to her lips. She drinks greedily as Azalin begins chanting.

"Shoulda stayed in your Castlevania-clone prison plane!" Mouse shouts, chucking his canteen at Azalin after unscrewing the cap. Azalin shrieks, his spell ruined as the holy water burns him. The gem in his hand drops to the floor and he screams a spell at Mouse. Mouse vanishes with a puff of smoke, a tiny field mouse crawling around in the pile of gear where he was a moment before. The Sandmen shout and rush to attack the lich with their own canteen, but the undead overpowers them, tossing them aside and draining their lives with a touch as he makes his way towards the recovering Cheryl.

"Now, girl..." Azalin hisses. "It's over."

"Override code..." Cossack wheezes. "...Kalinka."

"Target locked," a cold, mechanical voice states as twin metal discs fly from the darkness. One rebounds off of a shield of force, but the second shears into Azalin's side. Metal Man mk. II advances from the shadows and leaps towards Azalin, Cheryl finally making it to the center of the chamber.

"You're absolute right, Azalin!" Cheryl shouts, standing in front of the strange pedestal and the floating orb of energy that is the primary interface for the Device. She reaches out and grasps the crackling ball of light with both hands. "It IS over!!!"

Azalin lets out a wordless roar of supreme rage and frustration as the light explodes outward, washing away everything with blinding radiance. Even your own unnatural perception is lost to the brilliance, but where the light causes Azalin pain and fear, to you it feels warm, inviting. For a moment you regain your sight, seeing the battlefield from far away as the floating island disappears into a growing sphere of light that expands to cover all the floating islands here, and through the barriers between worlds to cover this Earth, and the next, and the next...

Pretty much what I'm waiting for. Either that or something that's been overlooked.

>>22461428
Indeed.

>>22461446
But taking the Eldar out of the Home Canon of the Farseers would leave the Knights with one less ally as the Inquisition approaches their sector with a Crusade.

And if we take the Knights, we have to take the entire Sector, otherwise we end up abandoning the worlds there, as well as the Sisters of Reason and the Tau that defected and the the Tyranid that began to think of something more than just consumption of raw biomass.

>>22461446

Should we also restore the non-Star Control people that were *pulled* by the Orz?

>>22461555
I was thinking it'd move only the "restored Eldar" to the new canon, not all of them.
>>22461589

This is what I'm going with if you don't have something else in five minutes.

>Cure all forces tainted by Chaos and return them to their normal state.

I assume that this means that it's just curing people who were corrupted by Chaos during its romp in the metaverse, and leaving alone the entities that were already corrupted before this incident occurred?

>>22461689
That was supposed to refer to New Chaos, but yes.

>>22461446

I'd like to replace the "restore" Eldar bit with inceasing their fertility to help them recover, but they need to stay in their canon. TG regs, dude.

>>22461446

Should we also include something to prevent Azalin or the other Dark Power that he mentioned from messing with the metaverse?

>>22461446
A more conservative wish:
"Restore all casualties and damaged or destroyed equipment suffered by Task Force 38, the TSAB, the Grand Crusade, Shin-Ra, and the Void Engineers during the course of the conflict sparked by the detonation of the S.T.O.B. Also repair the damage done to the fabric of the Meta, and restore Canons to their normal state.
Seal the Orz back in their native Canons and remove all knowledge of the Meta and Canons, as well as agencies and entities they have encountered after breaching the Meta, from both them and their higher dimensional counterpart.
Seal the Chaos Gods back in their original Canon, repair the dimensional damage caused by the Zerg Swarm's actions in the Zerg Quest Canon.
Create a copy of the CnC Canon that our Sector HQ is currently in, and restore the original inhabitants to the copy.
Provide Soulstones and a restoration of vitality to the Eldar of the Craftworld from which the Farseers originate.

Shouldn't we restore the transpace guard in its entirety and not just task force 38? As that seems to be the way it is currently worded.

>>22461723
I vote for Codeki's version of the wish.

>>22461718
Yes, we should.

"The Azalin Rex which escaped from the destruction of his Canon will not be restored, nor the specific instance of Ravenloft which released Ebon Night. All Dark Powers of the Ravenloft which was destroyed will be destroyed as well."

>>22461768
You need to add in an exception against the Black Ops forces and their SHODAN AI.

>>22461768
Unintended consequences, and the more we grasp for, the less likely that the wish will work properly.

>>22461768
Too overarching. The guard can bring themselves via rezzing and we don't want to restart the war by just bringing everyone back to life.

>>22461785

Seconding Codeki's version as well. Plus neutralizing Azalin Rex and any remaining Dark Powers of Ravenloft that may be loose in the canon.

>>22461912

Er, loose in the metaverse.

>>22461912

Except that version intentionally messes with a 40k canon. That's no good.

Replace the Eldar part with the one in >>22461723
and I think we're good to go.

>>22461944
Fine, do this so we can restore the Meta already.

>>22461944
Yeah, I reluctantly agree.
I'd like to do more, but I really don't want to deal with the consequences of doing too much.

When you regain consciousness, you are no longer bodiless or a merged entity. You are in what you recognize as the medical bay of your old Sector Headquarters, fully repaired, restored, and staffed. As if no damage had even befallen it.

"You're awake!" the cheerful voice of Lt. Col. Eva says as all of you stir in your hospital beds. She smiles. "They told me you'd be coming around soon, but I didn't believe it'd be this fast."

Eva walks over and activates a display, easily visible from your beds. It shows the familiar sight of a time-space stability gauge. Completely normal.

"We don't know what you managed to do out there, but all abnormal readings suddenly cut out a few minutes ago," Eva says, clicking a remote. The display now shows a battered fleet. Task Force 38, minus the Protoss, and minus the EVE fleet among others. "Your ships are being repaired now. According to the data I've got, not a single loss. Quite a miracle you pulled off!"
