I have forwarded the decrypted Project Shadowblade files to your science team, Commander. Dr. Nelhav's report is prepared.

>"Commandah. Virst I vould like to tell you vhat an honor eet is to vork alongside you. I haff taken a look at zee materials and procedures involved, und I haff determined zee side effects viff some accuracy, however zee compounds haff a tendency to be unstable."

Psi Indoctrinators, Jorium, and Terrazine used in combination can open up latent psionics in some individuals, revealing psi-class-5 signatures on occasion, effectively creating 'new' ghosts with resoc training.

These compounds can increase the latent psi index of already psychic individuals by 1.

These compounds have a chance of creating any of the following side effects: impaired social interaction and verbal and non-verbal communication, repetitive or stereotyped behavior, onset of babbling, unusual gestures, diminished responsiveness, compulsive behavior that appears to follow rules such as arranging objects in stacks or lines, Nonconforming attitude, idealistic, intense curiosity, obsession with hobby or hobbies, increased intelligence, extreme opinionation, unusual living or eating habits, stronger moral obligations, increase in superstitious or supernatural beliefs, mischievous sense of humor, minor audial or visual hallucinations.

SPECTRE TIME BABY

>>25977077
make sure we save some of each I want you to science me up a psi sword/knife/and something.

>>25977106
If we do make spectres, we only take volunteers and let them know the side effects before hand

>>25977106

Yeah, let's not.

>>25977126
Light saber, Yea I want a god dam light saber too, think we will need protoss teck for that ..

>>25977077
no

>>25977077


Nova: Commander Raynor! I am sending this transmission to warn you about Toss. Spectres are ghosts that terrazine has invariably turned into psychopaths.

Background Ghost: Whenever I see a world untouched by war, a world of innocense, a world of clear lakes and lush forests... I just wanna nuke the fuck out of it...

Jim Raynor: Well... I'm not sure it's the terazine to blame...

>>25977077
Just as a note, when the side effect list is FOUR LINES LONG then it's better to not take the product

Seriously, fuck Spectres

>>25977077
>impaired social interaction and verbal and non-verbal communication, repetitive or stereotyped behavior, onset of babbling, unusual gestures, diminished responsiveness, compulsive behavior that appears to follow rules such as arranging objects in stacks or lines, Nonconforming attitude, idealistic, intense curiosity, obsession with hobby or hobbies, increased intelligence, extreme opinionation, unusual living or eating habits, stronger moral obligations, increase in superstitious or supernatural beliefs, mischievous sense of humor, minor audial or visual hallucinations.

Al I hear is that this is perfect MURRICA shit.

>>25977126
>>25977186
Terran Dominion scientists have developed similar devices for use by ghosts and similar soldiers using Protoss technology, Commander.

We do not have access to that technology at this time, however.

>>25977239
Have you ever read the side effect shit for any modern medicine? Also some of those are positive.

I think we should get volunteers and make a test batch. See how they do.

>>25977252
lets go steal it

>>25977239
((The side effect list for Tylenol is 3 lines long and includes liver failure.

Just saying.))

>>25977252
Adjutant, I'd like to suggest we lock away this material and process until either our scientist think up a way to...reduce the unfortunate side effects, or we run into a desperate situation

Give it a really complex lock if you have to.

>>25977270
I do not have information on any facilities with this technology at this time, Commander.

>>25977283
You suggestion is noted and will be available for Consensus, Commander.

>>25977077
I'd say, how do we find the ones with latent psionics?

So, look for volunteers?

>>25977277
>>25977265
(There's a difference between liver failure and psychosis.)

>>25977283
check with the ghosts we just picked up

also lets take the nice mineral/gass spa treatment we just picked up

>>25977295
>"Zere is no vay of determining latent psionics viffout testing, commandah. But vee can test for eet viffout exposing zem to terrazine."

>>25977297
yea you live through psychosis

>>25977314
Others don't.

I would just like to point out that canon has the terrazine listed as contributing very little to the 'mental dissociation' but rather Toss's methods of preventing them from going full GOD I AM due to sensory overload.
I'm waiting for a Commander Shepard delusioned spectre regardless.

What are the chances of the various side-effects manifesting? Percentage wise.

>>25977309
I'd like to say that it's a shame we went through collecting all that stuff so fast
I wanted to check out Psychic Raptor things more...

>>25977305
No. I'm against exposing outselves.

I still we should gather volunteers and create a test squad to see how well they do.

I mean fuck, they won't be anymore insane then our Hellbats.

>>25977305
I am establishing contact, Commander. Please wait.

Whiskey Phoenix:
>"We're outnumbered, outgunned, and out-positioned. If we can turn our fringe worlders into super ghosts, I'm all for it. We just need to keep a close eye on the dangerous ones and put them on the dangerous missions, if you catch my drift."

>>25977359
"I will test it first"

>>25977359
Well that doesn't sound too bad. Now where do we sign up?

>>25977400
No.

>>25977400
NO!

We are not testing this on ourselves first. That is a guaranteed disaster knowing our luck.

>>25977400
yea we need the power boost

>>25977359
Get ourselves a single squad ((4)) of Spectres as a test from volunteers, see if We can manage their oddities. If we can't do it, We send them on a suicide mission and scrap the project, If we can we gained ourselves a massive tactical boon.

>>25977400
>>25977442
No. We're already on the path to power on the natural path without psychosis, no need to get ourselves addicted to a drug we don't need.

>>25977449
Nah, let's not turn into the people we fled from.

>>25977400
no

Wait, maybe we can do a two-pronged plan, after starting a Murrican Psi program.

- Send semi-successes to commandeer and sabotage Dominion Fringe territories. This is mostly to keep them occupied and disperse.

- Lock onto Dominion political prisoners and dissidents, send the actual Spectres to set them free.

>>25977467
>> addicted

one time treatment, why you trolling?

>>25977472
How are we turning into the people we fled from? We going to ask for Volunteers and inform them of the side effects. If it works, good, if not we have one squad we can use for Ghost type stuff and shelf the project.

I say go ahead and take it as a test run. We will probably get a minor social or behavioral weakpoint... and theres a chance we might get improved intelligence. Thankfully none of the of listed side-effects are psycosis or meglomania.

>>25977489
Except terrazine is a highly addictive drug.

Terrazine is addictive, and many spectres did not adhere to a strict schedule, instead overdosing. --> as quoted from the starcraft wiki.

Loading relevant files on Terrazine usage, Commander:

Terrazine has a half-life of several hours, but it builds up in the system over time and with repeated use. It is addictive, causing withdrawal symptoms after several hours. Stabilized by a little jorium, terrazine is inhaled by spectres like a drug. If the spectre keeps to a strict schedule, the side effects are minimized.

>>25977627
I think we can keep to a schedule.

>>25977627
... learn everything we lost?

I'm sold.

>>25977627
Dangit doc. Why did you have to know that. Now they are going to jump at the drug.

>>25977627
no just no if we slip up even once we are fucked

>>25977627
What happens if we stop taking it period?

Guys, we'd learn WHY the Dominion set a 1.5 billion bounty on a rogue ghost.

>>25977627
Not worth it. Definitely not worth us potentially getting addicted and suffering horrid withdrawal over memories we're not even sure we really want back anymore.

>>25977676
>"I don't know, Commandah. Zee project never tested zee hypothesis."

>>25977714
What do you theorize?

>>25977709

>>25977709
we would end up like a crack addict looking for his fix just no

>>25977709
>>25977676
Guys this is way too dangerous.
If we start taking this drug, we will come into conflict with the Tal'darim, and as you all know Protoss kick ALL KINDS of ass

I really don't want to make an enemy of the Protoss right now.

>>25977753
yes this as well do you really want to fight Toss all the dam time

>>25977714
>>25977736
Forming a hypothesis requires data and tests to draw from. Which, as the good Doctor just pointed out, we don't enough of.

Well, there was that gas giant with the stuff in it.

>>25977753
we know a gas giant where Terrazine is. The Jorium has psychic raptors but thats a good place to use our AI SCV drones at.

>>25977769
so we are not doing this ok let's just sell this shit and get it away from us

>>25977769
Thanks, but it just doesn't seem worth it at the moment.

>>25977769
What would happen if we just inhaled some gas and licked/snorted/used Jorium as a suppository?

>>25977785
That doesn't answer the concern of the Tal'darim
Those guys worship this gas

You don't think they'd get pissed when they find out we've been huffing their god gas?

>>25977751
I was just asking. It might be useful to just understand what we have exactly in our hands, and how much we can or cannot do with it.
If it had been a year or more, I would have done it, but 4 months is pretty short, so no thanks. Keep it in stock, have ze good doctor play with it a bit more.

>>25977804
no Tal'Darim were near that gas giant.

>>25977804
Well, we could scan for Protoss first, then act on that knowledge.

I'm saying that they would find out. Doesn't matter if they were there at the time or not.

Trust me, Tal'darim will hold a grudge for eternity if they found out. And they will. I can just feel it from Adjutant...

>>25978525
"I don't really know my story. I was a Dominion Ghost, apparently I was trying to get out during the last job they sent me on, but they found out and resoced me beforehand. I forgot everything, though I do have nightmares about a little girl crying for her mother, that might be me.

But on that last mission I went rogue after the Ghost Academy got destroyed and the various inhibitors went offline, I picked up Henderson, we hightailed it out of there, got a crew, found this battlecruiser, fixed it up, got more crew, and have just been trying to keep my crew safe ever since. Haven't done the best job though, I'm responsible for these people, and I keep on being unable to save them all."

>Well there's not much to tell about me. There I was on Umoja when I head a transmission from Korhal. "The Emperor is Dead. Long live the Emperor. ". But I was on a mission, so I did what I had to do and got out. On the way I realized the academy had fallen and I had free will once again, so I went rogue, saved Henderson from the planet, one thing led to another and soon enough we're on a zerg infested battlecruiser with a swarm out for blood not far behind. We fixed it and blind-jumped. The rest you know from personal experience I guess.

Though, this could be a good PR thing, basically us going 'I wouldn't subject my crew to anything I would not be willing to try first' kind of thing.... Might be able to get some volunteers if all goes well... Then we will be 'cooking with gasoline' as the saying goes I believe... or would Vespien be a better term here...

You lay down on the table. The assistants remove your helmet. Sometimes you forget what the world looks like without your HUD and additional sensors.

The respirator goes over your mouth, and the prototype Psionic Indoctrinator lowers from the ceiling.

The speaker sounds as the assistants and doctor leave the room.

You vaguely remember your last words as you drift into darkness.

>"Tell Charlie, If I die, she can have my suit.... and tell Henderson.... He does not get the ship...."

It's dark. Purple gas is everywhere. You wade through the fog aimlessly.

>"Hello!? Is anyone there?!"
A voice echos from every direction at once. It thunders through your skulls.

>"R-r-r-rrriiisssiiinnngg Ppppphoooeeenniixx!"
>"Kassix! Where are you!?"

You hear the familiar beep and voice of your Adjutant.
>"Nuclear Launch Detected."

>"Y-y-y-yyyyoouu must let them live, Rising Phoenix!""
>"Who!? Kassix!? KASSIX!?"

Several shapes begin to close in on you, you recognize them as Protoss. Kassix with his combat trophies is at the front.

>"Th-th-th-there is no time, Rising Phoenix. The Darkness encroaches."
>"Kassix! Please, what do I need to do!? Who has to live!?"

There is a flash of light. You shield your eyes. As you open them Kassix is gone, replaced by a Protoss skeleton. Your adjutant's Geiger counter goes wild. The Protoss reaches a hand out.

>"U-u-u-u-us. All of us."

The skeleton's hand reaches out and grabs you. Then another, and another. The hands burn like lightning, racing a path to your skull, drilling into your brain. You can see everything. You know everything. It's all so clear! Everything is so clear!

The darkness comes. It pulls the Protoss skeletons away, one by one, into the darkness, and you are left with nothing but your own death.

>"KASSIX! NOOOOOOO!"

>Waiting...

>>25978811
Ah, well that was almost coherent! Looks like things are going better than expected.

>>25978811
Looks like a bad time to psionically contact someone. If he was trying to contact us, I wonder what he thought of all that.

>"One lets go the wheel, while the other one steers."

Henderson is here. You're on some sort of Desert planet. Nameless marines march past the two of you.

>"One sold something that he never could replace."

You hear distant screams, C-14 rounds. Mutalisks.

>"One can't decipher all these riddles and rhymes."

You step forward, listening to Henderson's words. They're all so clear.

>"One got addicted, and he couldn't run away."

The marines start to fall back. You hear their screams. Bodies fall, dug into by voracious glave worms, eaten alive.

Henderson raises his Bayonet and charges out of your vision. You look to your hands. You hold the Ultralisk tooth in them.

Whiskey follows you as you set the charges.

>"The hell did the Commander do to you?"
>"You know I can't tell you."
>"Oh shit. He found out, didn't he? Does he know about Charlie, too?"
>"I... don't know, Whiskey."

You set the charge on the structural pillar.

>"Do you even remember?"
>"I DON'T KNOW, WHISKEY!"

You turn on him, your aggression inhibitor registers that it's about to overload. You're not mad at him. You're not sure why you're mad.

>"You don't-... You don't remember. That means they know."
>"Set your goddamn charges."

You toss the bag of explosives against his chest.

1 vote for snorting reaper drugs and injecting firebat fuel to our eyeballs

>>25979074
It wasn't just him. It was at least half of us

Why focus anger on the namefag?

>>25979071

LETS DO EEEETTTT!!!!!!!!

Whats the Worst that Could Happen!!!

>>25979105
Doom Rider pays us a visit and we get a fate worse than death when he brings us to Slaanesh

>>25979094
Because the namefag is consistently shitty and makes terrible choices in a multitude of quests.

look am not entirely happy about this situation, but can we at least wait till the trippy dream scene is over before we flip shit?

>>25979119
So do half of our anons
I'm mad at being outnumbered for the "YUM YUM POWER" option, but there's not much to do now except try and make sense of these nightmares and deal with the consequences I guess.

>>25979094
So you're saying that you picked 3 because "lol this will never get chosen" ?
I'm not judging because namefag, I'm just saying that picking a retarded option "just cause" is pretty damn stupid and I'm tired as fuck right now although how that translates into this I have no idea, I should stop.

>>25979141
Um i picked 1 dude. Sure you didn't misquote?

>>25979151
Sorry, I don't check the names on the votes, just happened to glance over this one time and from how you phrased what you said it sounded to me like you went with 3.

Terran go past. Mother says follow. You follow. Not smell you. Stupid terran.

Baneling unburrow. Terran scream in pain. Many dead.

Mother says hunt.

You hunt.

I have no idea why you guys are so angry, the scene hasn't even fucking finished, yeah, we may come out a Crazy Addict or we may come out ahead of the game with prohpitic powers before you start throwing stones at poor Anons, just wait for a actual reason.

For the record, I voted for the Memories.....

nothing more, nothing less....

Well....that's interesting.

Whoa..
Always wanted to see into the mind of a Zergling.

I'm really hoping this is just a nightmare and not us sensing Zerg minds due to the psionic increase as Muric is swarmed during out stupidity induced coma.

>"Judicator, your quest is to eliminate the infidels. Not allow them escape and refuge. They -defiled- our sites. The only acceptable punishment is death."

You kneel before your superior.

>"And still, in the face of your own incompetence, you do not accept your own responsibility!"

>"I accept full responsibility, Arbiter. I speak only of my folly so that others do not follow it."

>"Were you so wise when the planet fell, Judicator."

The Arbiter steps down, his Psiblade materializes. He raises it over your head.

You keep staring at the floor...

I'd go with, Astral, Reflexes, or Regeneration.

Astral Projection/ Remote Viewing.

and

[Psychic Reflexes: Attack Multiple Targets simultaneously with no penalty, attack first on all fights against non-psychics]

Are you telling us we developed the rest of the branching Psi ability too?

God damn thats op

>>25979514
You have effectively gained 3 abilities from the procedure, Commander.

>>25979523
SPECTERS OOOOOOP.

>>25979523
If we get Astral Projection, we should call Kassix and get his advice on what the dream shit means.
If we don't, we should still go visit him and ask.

>>25979405
I say Psi shield

Its almost effectively a 1up

>>25979523
This is too good to be true.

I'm just waiting to see what our horrible side-effect is.

Plus we only have so much Terrazine, so we can only enjoy the benefits for so long.

>>25979550
The issue is that we have no idea where Kassix is.

>>25979532
not really we would have gotten 3 powers from leveling the normal way

>>25979554
I'm guessing that, if we go cold turkey, we'll lose all those abilities except for Psi Reflexes

>>25979523
Well we got what we came from, time to go cold turkey and never try that again!

>>25979550
You do not know where Kassix is and cannot sense him, Commander. You cannot astral project to him at this time.

>>25979574
((There is no normal way to level.))

>>25979469
hey adjutant what psi level do you need to make psi blades? Just out of curiosity.

>>25979589
Can we Astral Project to Cassie?

>>25979605
Probably a psi rating and some special Protoss tech.

>>25979604
you know what I meant

>>25979605
Psi Blades require technology that we do not have available.

>>25979617
I have no one named Cassie in my databanks, Commander.
