You walk finding yourself crossing vast distances with each step. You could see the twin stars of this system fast approaching with every step forward. Somehow you were...crossing such vast distances with each step as if you were an extraordinary advanced spacecraft.

You saw the different worlds of this star system. Some fuck off huge like the gas giants while others were smaller or even had higher gravity then own home. After awhile you find yourself at an intersection.

One leads you closer to the twin stars. Another takes you to the gas giant in the inner system. One path takes you to the outer system. Another path you can see a strange intersection with paths that blearily lead to nearby worlds. While the last path...you are not sure where it leads. As it takes a strange indirect route through the star system.

What do?

Turns are an abstract amount of time. Otherwise things can quickly get absurdly complicated. Every 10 turns equal 1 population boost. Every 5 turns a trader fleet will come and offer wares. Including technological upgrades. The next incoming fleet is a Independent Fleet while the one after that will be Religious Fleet sharing the same religions as the colony.

Your attempts to touch the path...as resulted in starting to crack and break. While your attempts to call out has resulted in nothing but silence...but you felt a strange presence suddenly take notice of you. A shadow that is not a shadow.

So you proceed to run like hell heading towards the outer system. Naturally in the opposite direction of where that shadow that isn't a shadow and where the breaking pathway is.

I need the following rolls d100 rolls.
1 Evading the shadow

Talking things out is related to our super power after all, and when you have a Super ability, using it to solve problems rather than your mundane abilities just makes sense.

Rolled 15 (1d100)

>>1238640
You find it very difficult to run upon the crumbling pathways. Especially as whatever it is chases you. You can feel it closing in and that was when you tried to talk it out before throwing a peace symbol out. It seemingly knew what the symbol meant and while confused. Its grasp was something you were barely able to elude. As it paused shimmering between reality and flickering as it was both here and there.

"You...you...you are not one of THEM. You should not be here."

"Do not take these so called shortcuts again. They do not come without dangers or risks. Like boring through to another reality for the sake of reaching a destination in this one faster. Who says that which exists there wont follow? So called shortcuts in this reality is the same thing. Similar principle. Similar problems."

"The Others will take notice...try to use it too. Destroy the exits. Break the paths. Shatter them into nothing."

"Foolish mortals with your earning to attain power you cannot afford. To learn knowledge you are should not know. Thinking shortcuts and ease carry little risk."

With that the strange being completely broke the pathway and as you felt yourself falling yet rising. You felt a strange embrace...and realized you were getting flung. Through the strange void and back the way you came. As you were spat out of the strange entrance on the sandbar. As it flickered menacingly as a crack suddenly appeared in it. Followed by a wail of anguish as the formation around it split up. Forcefully closing it before it could be completely shattered.

So it warned us against using such paths. In hindsight, not going through weird portals that we know essentially nothing about should be obvious to any sensible person. But then we're anons, so it's necessary to tell us.

>See if the rivers are still there
Of course
>Other?
Maybe we'll get some signal now, make a call for some peeps to drive out here, we found something to show them. (I actually mean the waterfall, but I don't want to come out and say it. Best to be vague in case someone is listening. Fortunately there's other stuff we could try to show them)

Rolled 89 (1d100)

>>1239177
I concur. We can tell the faithful the fun things we found. The pathway....and the ruins...after we have a first peek...I want loot.

I'd like too add if we get the militia too pick us up we should bring up the Portal/River. We go too the ruins and waterfall asap.

Rolled 47 (1d100)

>>1239300
Hey, we can still have first claim to loot, but I think we'll need help if we're going on an underwater ruin exploration trip.

>>1239333
I agree. The ruins we won't be able to go to immediately due to them being underwater, but still go there literally as soon as possible. While we can investigate the waterfall immediately (but wait until we have other people with us)

>>1239356
Although actually it may be wiser to postpone an expedition to the ruins. All the ruins have a tendency to be dangerous, whether untouched ruins will have relatively easily and safely claimed treasure is another matter.
At least ask advice from the wise first.

So Genie I have to ask. Did you think we would try a peace sign of all things?

Rolled 56 (1d100)

>>1239544
I have to congratulate/thank you for thinking to try a peace sign, but what do you have against my action?
Is it the looking to see if the rivers are still there?
Is it telling the people we call we want to show them something?
Is it waiting till they arrive before we poke at the cloaked thing behind the waterfall?

Because that last one is actually in case there's someone there and they see us poking and engage hostilities. You see, I suspect it's actually an entrance to a hidden facility. (or possibly some sort of vehicle)

Rolled 61 (1d100)

>>1239586
Oh I had nothing against your action. Just in a rush because of finishing work. I didn't have a good chance to read everything. So went with gut action pick.

>>1239177
So check and give a call. I'm down. It did say something about closing exits less you want things following users of the path.

Rolled 84 (1d100)

>>1239544
not really no. It's what stumped me for that action for so long. I figured you would either run or less smartly try to fight it. Instead you tried to talk to it which alerted it to the fact you were not the path walkers like before. Hence why it decided to not outright kill you and flung you back instead.

Rolled 41 (1d100)

>>1239177
The two rivers while still there have greatly faded. It looks like it wont be much longer before they disappear completely.

As it turns out now you can finally get some signal. Which meant you no longer had to walk the rest of the way. Useful given your condition. Soon a militia technical appears from down the beach driving the border between the sands and jungle. Dodging the occasional tree and possible bush. Eventually they stopped near your location. While a few of the members drifted towards the waterfall to take a look.

It was then you realized your...problematic clothing. Or more precisely your lack of it given how you were tied up and fucked. Before getting tied up again. You find yourself cursing the bandits for not giving you any spare clothing. As your really not wearing much outside of a blanket...bed sheet thing. Much to the amusement of the militia members. Who assure you that pretty much the entire colonies knows what happened to you. What they don't know is how you ended up wait out here, but figure the pirates must of dropped you of here for shits and giggles, but hey at least they let you go...

You find yourself debating whether or not to reveal it was the bandits who rescued you before a shout of alarm appeared near the waterfall. Guess the militia guys over there must of finally figured it out.

After finding some spare militia gear in the technical and donning it. You headed towards the waterfall. Before the militia could stop you vanished through the barrier.

You were on the jungle beach from one moment and a deserted facility the next. A huge spire rising above it that appeared to be in heavy disrepair. The air felt so dry it were as if you in a desert. As you looked around you were shocked at how barren it was. Nothing but blasted rock and whirling sand. The only sign of anything at all was the desolate ruins you found in the distance. The sky was covered in a strange shimmering wall that flickered in strange colors. Some you could identify and some you couldn't. There was no sign of wind but terrible unstoppable heat. Occasionally you could see the dust whirl in the distance but for some reason it only ever head in the direction of the ruins.

So, think we're on our colony world's desert moon, or one of the other deserts in the star system?
There's a desert planet, and both gas giants have some desert moons.

>>1240641
Alternatively, it could be one of the many barren rocks in the system.

Rolled 27 (1d100)

>>1240535
The barrier...it flickered many colors but as you looked up at the sky. You noticed 3 moons and two stars. While the barrier itself flickered dangerous and shimmered as if were about to collapse at any second. That was when you brought out your trusty stick and poked the barrier...which stretched from it. After that you used the trusty stick to poke at the ground where the barrier met with it. Poking around there you discovered a strange rusted looking device covered up in the sands...but it appeared to be projecting the shield. After poking around below other parts of the shield you found similar projectors. Some of them were still alive but weak. Others flickered dangerously and broken sounds were emitting from them. While the rest were...dead completely dead. Hell in a few places you didn't even find a projector at all.

Digging a bit deeper you found some cables that seemed to head towards the ruins.

The land itself is...completely desolate. If you didn't know any better you would think this was part of a barren planet. Even desert or volcanic worlds showed more life to them then this patch of dead dirt. No really you think the dirt actually is dead. You don't even smell the scent of dirt...or the scent of decay. Nothing. If there wasn't the sound of grit when you stepped you wouldn't even think this was desert terrain. Nothing but dusty rock and sand with dead dirt as a final fuck you too. Then there is this heat. Dry heat dryer then a desert world with air that is barely above a barren world. Breathing here hurts your lungs and you can practically feel the moisture leak from your breath. Your lungs feel like they are fire and drying out by the second. Meanwhile your eyes would feel teary if only to stay hydrated if it weren't for the dust. Then again it might be caused by the dust either way though you feel like its the only reason why your eyes haven't dried out yet.

The ruins meanwhile...it is or was some kind of facility. With an oddly high number of pillars and towers. As you approached you increasingly realized that whatever these buildings are...they were not created by a human. They were also extremely ancient. You noticed that some of the pillars seemed to be connected to the shields somehow. While others would occasionally grumble and spew out some dust before becoming sullen again. As you closed you suddenly heard a broken alarm and suddenly a few turrets rose up form the sands. You could feel their charge build up...only to never deliver as they literally fell into a pile of scrap metal. That was assuming some of them could even lift themselves up. A few outright exploded and some of them were even underground when they did so. The alarm meanwhile barely blared for a few seconds before screech and then sudden silence. You could even see where one of the alarms come from abruptly fell apart into the sand.

Nearly shat yourself for nothing. The defenses clearly so old they were no longer even remotely operational.

Rolled 5 (1d100)

>>1240690
Even the few lucky turrets who were able to keep it together enough to successfully fire...well their barrels either simply exploded on them or did nothing. It was honestly kinda pitiful. You could practically see their disappointment lurking behind their scanner eyes as they often fell apart right afterwards. A few of them were locked in place...or when they fell it was in surprisingly good shape.

So you continued on into the ruins for real. Looking at the mostly destroyed ruins of alien writing and art. As you got deeper into the ruins it was clear even in here had fallen apart badly. What few defense systems in place assuming they even turned on in the first place often fell apart before they could even attempt to deal with the intruder. Those that could fire a shot off were often so few and such bad shape you felt bad for shooting their rusted out hulks.At this point it wasn't even the like shooting an old dog.

More like mercy killing a zombie that couldn't even chew or move. If they weren't more hostile you would of considered them pitiful. As is you were able to easily walk right into the heart of the facility. You still had no idea what the facility was until you were in the very heart. Looking around you realized something. While clearly ancient and oddly designed in an old fashion. You found the barest of similarities just enough to confirm what it was now that you were in the heart of the beast.

This entire place was one of them extremely expensive terraforming complex. Or at least what was left of one. Not even gutted remains more just...fell apart so hard it makes you wish it was so. Instead it has nothing but some guy who just happened to guess correctly. Which turned out to be true as a rare pulse of life in the facility. The last gasp of the dying really. Released a large amount of vapor and strange. Spewing it so high it even breached past the barrier. After that the red charge from the towers that fired quickly died down, but you could feel the intense heat even from here. Even as another one of those towers collapsed abruptly. revealing molten rock, ruined slag, and strange fumes.

So you looked around hoping there would be something...anything really that survived the weight of the eons. Preferably in some kind of stasis field. So you looked around. Finding ruined rooms whose purpose was impossible to decipher. Climbed towers that were so rusted and worn out they looked more like rocky stumps of rock. That even claiming it was an outcropping would be quite generous. Finally you climbed into the bowels of the facility hoping you would find something...anything that wouldn't be a complete disappointment.

Really not anything different from the rest of the facility except for you swearing it somehow felt even hotter down here. After awhile however you did stumble upon a strange sight. Many stairs and floors later. As of course whatever they had for elevators or their equivalent were long gone.

Rolled 81 (1d100)

>>1240690
Unless it was just a pit if you were lucky. Alas you didn't have any climbing gear. So the long way you took. Down many an increasingly disappointed floor. Exceot with more cracks and heat. Instead now you felt like what it must be like in an oven.

Eventually however the site you stumbled upon was quite the peculiar one. A giant lava chamber with many ruins have sunken into it or partially collapsed in it. However a few strange devices and tubes appeared to be at least somewhat operational if the flickering lights were anything to go by. Much further away you found what appeared to be a burbling underground river in oddly similar condition as the lava chamber. Except with far less light. Where it led to you could not say.

Eventually you ran out of floors as you stumbled upon a place with many broken wires and a strange looking core that flickered dimly. Clearly gasping its last breath. You have the feeling that whatever this place was...it was the actual heart of the complex. Especially given all the irreparably damaged security systems you found before it. However this was the one and only place you found with a somewhat working sound display. The screens long cracked and shattered like the rest of the floors, ceiling, and walls of the place.

It spoke in a garbled language of a clearly very busted speaker that refused to quite die. Much to the misery of the ears of those around it. As you entered the room several strange limbs with devices attempted to move before falling apart or simply refusing to a budge. One however worked barely enough to release a strange beam that covered the room from one side to another before the scanner fell off and shattered on the ground.

After that what remained of the power left inside the facility died completely. Leaving alone in the darkness with those strange words echoing in your mind even as you walk down the stairs and approach the vault.

On the contrary, I think they were the "THEM" the shadow mentioned.
They left this message and gift for those who would come after they were gone. They did not fear death; rather they saw it as the "last great adventure," so to speak. But while they left a contingency for their mass departure from this mortal coil, we don't know what caused it so long ago. I believe their overuse of things like the star pathway attracted the attention of the "Others" the shadow mentioned, in a big way.

Supremely powerful and fast but is far far beyond current human technological level. Is modified to be inheritable to any ship. One of the most prized forms of FTL to ever exist.

Star Eater
Harvests material and power from a star. In an emergency can be overcharged and will consume a star to a create a blackhole that can be used as a weapon. However the Star Eater will be destroyed in the process once the black hole is unleashed.

Smart Nanite Constructive Armor
Will modify itself to fit you. Comes with the ability to 'eat' incoming attacks, replicates upon command, and engineer itself into whatever you can think of. Default setting is environmentally sealed power armor with a nanite cloud shroud. Armor is considered stealth capable and when not in use will turn itself into a small blank bar of sealed plastic metal looking substance.

Repulse Fisher Personal Shielding Device
Incoming attacks will be reflected back at the enemy. Can attract incoming attacks. Attacks that are not reflected will instead charge the shield back up.

Star Island Device
When used will attract asteroids and meteors to help terraform world. When on world is capable of manipulating the planet itself. With enough time can turn even the most barren of worlds into a paradise world.

Dark Matter Collector
When sent adrift in deep space will attract and gather different kinds of the exotic dark matter.

Star Stopper
When activated star system is considered stealth. Means to detect the system will be hampered and FTL use within system will be crippled. When overcharged device will be destroyed but in exchange the select star will be forced to go super nova.

Starred Warred Weapon
A strange looking gun that is capable of 3 settings. Electric, Heat, and Cold. Is actually a handheld plasma weapon but is capable of using all forms of plasma. Has three barrels and you can select which type each of the barrels will fire. Is capable of an Overcharged shot when multiple barrels select the same type. Requires at least 2 barrels in sync to begin Overcharge but you can still attack with the third. If all three barrels are used will greatly enhance the effect. A the cost of not being able to attack meanwhile.

Gravity Grenade
When detonated has several different modes. First mode is amplified gravity in range. Second mode is decreased gravity. Third mode will cause an implosion dragging people into the very center before 'detonating'. Fourth mode is an explosion of outward gravity. Fifth mode will attract objects to target. Sixth mode is repulse objects from target. Seventh Mode will cause grenade to fly far far away before accelerating itself to impact think Rod of God. Eighth

Rolled 94 (1d100)

>>1241507
Eighth setting causes target to be rendered immune to gravity for a set amount of time. Ninth results in grenade absorbing all within range. Tenth results complete control of gravity either around the device OR 1 specific object.

Grenades will restock themselves over time so long as their holding device is not destroyed.

Nova Cannon

Shipboard weapon that is capable of unleashing many fast moving self contained and homing plasma bolts. Secondary type of fire results in a concentrated continuous energy beam until firing mode is switched or ended. Third mode in exchange for rendering the weapon useless for a time afterward will create and launch a black hole.

Final.
The Fisher
Radar mode offers detailed diagnostics of all things within range. When in Harpoon mode sole target is identified and instantly becomes target locked which cannot be removed. In Pole mode target cannot be lost and you can jump right next to target whenever you wish. In Net mode every single attack unleashed will can hit all within range. In Farm mode will repair and refresh all friendlies within range. In Hand mode when in close range attacks are greatly in enhanced and at range gain the ability to evade any one attack of your choice. Dam mode results in targeted space becoming impossible to use FTL in. Fish mode results in stealth that doesn't end until you switch out.

The Star Fishers were an ancient if extremely advanced alien species who were obsessed with sailing and fishing. followed a strange philosophy and were oddly helpful. Before their vanishing they help terraform quite a few worlds that they didn't even bother to colonize and would help out species who were stuck. Even now they are very well regarded among a number of alien species for their laidback if strange nature and being quite helpful.

One day they just...left and nobody knows what happened to them after that. Unlike the other super advanced species they didn't let it get to their head and neither did they forcefully 'uplift' or take much for themselves. They were largely nomadic drifters who did their own thing.

Basically imagine a bunch of super advanced but laidback very down to earth people who really loved to fish and sail but were oddly helpful in their own strange way. Who just traveled around setting up some worlds and helping out those who were stuck. Supposedly they even knew how to travel between galaxies and even galactic super clusters. Supposedly they set up some devices to make it possible for others to do it too, but that unlike the terraforming and helping out stuck species. It was never confirmed, but many suspect it to be true.

As it has been proven they somehow knew how to travel between galaxies and they helped a few species achieve FTL or even transplanted them when their world/star system was dying but they couldn't leave. On a world very similar to their old one. They did a sorts of weirdly helpful things.

After grabbing what you could. You left to go find the others. What you found beyond the shields was some hastily made fortifications and a camp teeming with militia. So it was easy to get some help once you convinced them you were fine. Sadly outside the stuff in the vaults there was very little to find that was still usable. However that didn't mean you couldn't possibly reverse engineer some technology from it. As while most of it was ruined some by cannibalizing many different object it could be possible to jury rig it back to life. Otherwise the bits of broken tech can provide some interesting researchable insights.

Otherwise it was little better then scrap and alien archeological research. After that you finally met the militia commander. In this case the old and former zealot. Who had been wanting to meet you for a little while now. Mostly to thank you for the assistance you had previously rendered and to such a strange character like you. From him you find out that he is actually in charge of 'outside' operations. While the other militia commander is in charge of 'internal' operations. Which at the moment is keeping order due to how useless the sheriff and them is. So he had to pick up the slack and according to the old zealot. It is proving very difficult and he could use some help. As apparently he is the one with the hard job.

Otherwise the townhall could use some with 'balls'.

What do?
>Investigate something nearby
>Go back home already
>Fiddle with your new treasures
>Stick around
>Other?

As is you try to ponder what they were going on about and why they gave it to you. All with little to no success. Weird ass ancient aliens.

>>1241589
As for them being the strange shadow. That is most unlikely as they both been gone a very long time but also they didn't look remotely like that.

>>1241060
Some would argue they were indeed rather crazy. Some of the ruins they found of them were dyson spheres some of them even complete they simply left behind. And they terraformed quite a few worlds for seemingly no reason.

Some would say they were some kind of crazy tricksters.

Rolled 68 (1d100)

>>1241589
They're even more amazing than I thought.

So they terraformed the world we're on now. For that matter, it could've been more than one species that has claimed this place as home in the past. And I don't know who the Path Walkers were, but somehow I doubt it was only humans.

>>1241621
>Fiddle with your new treasures
Namely, try on the Smart Nanite Constructive Armor.

So, uh...we got some god-tier loot. Gonna have to think carefully about what to do with each of these treasures.

>>1241660
>So they terraformed the world we're on now
But weren't the ones to inhabit it long-term*

Rolled 29 (1d100)

>>1241660
The treasure is a result on rolling a crit on ancient advanced alien loot. So yes its gonna be insanely good.

Truth is each and every piece of the tech is amazingly advanced and good. Fat chance being able to reverse engineer any of it though.

The starred warred weapon and armor is the most 'common' looking. While its clearly advance alien gear its not enough to draw too much attention. The gravity grenades would be noticed more.

Now the ship components would be noticeable once they are used. The Star Fishers had some of the best FTL drives ever seen but nobody has been able to figure out how they work exactly.

The other tools are only worth something if you can decipher what they are. Given how long the Star Fishers been gone its gonna be extremely difficult to find someone who can actually identify what they are. Much less determine their value. They been gone for so long that people are only dimly aware of their terraforming efforts and to a lesser degree their other tech. What myths that stayed intact is mostly regarding their superb FTL and to a lesser degree other ship systems.

The Dark Matter Collector is actually the second most valuable piece of tech and is only behind the FTL drive. As it can attract and collect the different forms of dark matter that can only 'easily' be found in deep space. Making it an absolute pain to acquire. Dark Matters however can have some very trippy effects. It's not anti matter, Outsider matter, or other kinds of exotic matter, but its very valuable nonetheless.

In terms of exotic matter its often the dark matter variety species will first encounter. Even pre FTL as its something you realize exists when your trying to figure out how the universe works. Some would say all dark matter is exotic matter but that isn't entirely correct. Dark Matters is just the matter that largely lurks in deep space that helps keep things working.

In Genieverse Dark Matter is its own thing that exists in tandem with the ordinary matter we are more familiar with. Problem is its very difficult to notice much less find and it lurks in deep space. It does have some very interesting and very real effects. So its quite valuable should you get your hands on some. Unlike exotic matter it's not a complete bullshit substance. As there is precedent for its existence.

Humanity's most common FTL drive happens to rely upon specific types of collected dark matter to function combined with a lot of power. Which is actually a common means of FTL in general is using dark matters to get it to work. Mostly due to how common it is even if it is a pain to find and acquire. Its available is the thing.

Hey old commander, got anyone who can train me for power armor use? Maybe weapons as well.

"Power armor really isn't that difficult to use. The only trick to is getting use to all the extra strength. Now weapon training IS something that isn't that simple if you wanna get any good. Power Armor 'training' is more getting adjusted to it then actual training. Free tip the power armor HUD is very helpful when you change armor types. Heavy Power armor is lot different then wearing Light Power Armor. The display tells you the difference in detail and makes adjusting the changes so much easier. Admittedly it is pretty fucking funny to see some sap who is used to one kind and switches without checking up on the differences. Funny shit to watch."

"Now weapon's training can be gotten in the militia compound outside the colony. You can test out any kind of weapon out there. Artillery and heavy weapons included. Its much better then a simple shooting range like you see inside the colony and its where we train at. If you volunteer yourself as a militiaman you get free training and combat kit. It's how we keep the pirates from getting a bit too troublesome while inside the colony. Those fuckers know we got guns and know how to fight. So if they try to push too hard they know they'll be shot at by 'civilians' who can easily blend into the crowds and not the useless sack of shit cops."

"They are different from many of us zealots but I'll admit they are the ones who keep the colony safe from the inside unlike less then helpful cops you don't dare mess with the pirates."

You decide to go home. Getting a ride back with the militia to the colony. Once you got there it was a short walk back home. Thankfully the militia rags helped cover up your previous lack of dress. Not your fault mind you damn pirate chicks. You finally decide to get yourself laid and somehow you find the ONE pirate chick who kidnapped you in broad daylight. Terrible luck. Maybe you will wait when it comes to enjoying a new broad. Preferably one who isn't a pirate...which does admittedly vastly limits your options.

Thus you somehow missed the fact there was certain petite woman and a militiaman whom you collided with. Causing her to laugh as you both crash into the ground.

"hahahahah...how did you do that? I mean you both were right in front of each other looking and you STILL collided. Hahaha by the way how did you enjoy your rescue?"

"Rescue...wait how did you know about that," ask having felt the collision and ground even through the armor. You are slightly concerned you may have a concussion. Whether it was from the pirate sex or just now head slamming into a helmeted head you don't really know. As is you...sort of stumble up. Which was tad bit awkward as you accidentally pushed the militiaman down with your hand on their chest and stepped on them on the way up. Which resulted in a angry militiaman tripping you and this time causing you to face plant into the wall.

Yeah...now you definitely gotta a concussion as you heard the militiaman humph as they got up and brushed themselves off. With some help coming from the short woman.

"Well given how the militia didn't rescue your ass it obviously had to be someone else. Otherwise you may not have ever escaped. Seriously though how the hell did you choose the ONE crazy bitch who wanted to kidnap you away on her pirate ship?"

"How the fuck am I suppose to know it was my first time," after hearing that you saw the troublesome woman who previously had a smirk on her face fade away right quick. Followed by a solid smack from a militiaman with a club on the head before they stumbled away. Trembling...probably from laughter. It would appear it was a losing battle. So you expect to hear a burst of laughter soon.

Fuck now the whole militia is going to fin-oh crap you just made it sound like that was how you lost your virginity. Shit.

"Wait...wait I didn't mean it like that," you slurred out trying to correct yourself.

"Really now," says the woman rubbing her now sore head. "So how DID you lose it then?"

"Well...uh...actually..."

What say?
>You actually were a virgin
>To your ex
>whorehouse
>One night stand
>Your now former fiance

By the way afew things.
1) I suggest we instruct our nanite armour to break down into a full body tattoo when not in use. It can't be stolen and is quicker to deploy...and we get bad ass tattoos that can change shape
2) when the Corp Trader comes along we should make a deal with them. We give then a few pieces of the stuff we found and let them take it back too their think tanks in exchange for their support on this colony and ourselves. In the form of discounts OR a set % of the money they make from reverse engineering it.

For males offering 'companionship' and sex to women are done for a reason. Women are after different things they want both. MenS who use prostitutes meanwhile its just that. Sex.

So things only get complicated when women are invovled is because for one thing they are obviously women and for another. Woman REALLY don't want to advertise the fact that its much more common then you would think.

Most think the manwhores who exist primarily service gay men. This isn't true as the Genie actually knew a pro manwhore who serviced solely women and there were bi buddies of his that were in the same gig too.

So while there are some connection...there is a unique and complicated spin for it when its the ladies who want some. Gigolo, Boy toy, and Manwhore are all types of men who help satisfy women, but in different ways. Gigolo's for instance don't offer as much sex to their clients much to their frustration but they are great for showing off. Boy toys are not typically in a escort agency because they serve to fulfill other much more private purposes. Boy toys are kept on the side as a man would keep a mistress away from his wife. Except most of the time its the single women who maintains some boy toys for herself. While the business with manwhores is the most direct albeit rare to find a woman who wants to hire one and be done but they do exist. Assuming you can even find the specialist who does women as manwhores specializing in women are quite rare. To the point where they either become a proper classy gigolo(A big raise where sex doesn't have to be certain) or go more private as a boy toy(see being taken off the market).

So many women particularly the young rich chicks and the busy career driven women as well as bored housewives the ones most likely to engage in male prostitution and companionship. Which is a surprisingly large and thriving market that is...carefully ignored and covered up.

If you wanna learn more I suggest starting with Japan as they reached the point where its quite upfront in their society but everyone else is lagging behind on it. The changes are quite interesting and immense. Otherwise that kind of information is very...very hard to acquire.

You would think it was some kind of top secret racket for the lack of information, but Japan has willing let you see what lays beyond those previously closed doors.

Just had to get off that my chest considering what you anons have selected. Plus I am pleased you avoided the yandere leanings again. Goddamn first you say you wanted a good girl this time and then that.

Did she hide you away to be own private boy toy. I did the gigolo part coming but not the actual whoring. Hahahaha."

The militiaman was staring at you with dim confusion before starting to chuckle.

"Hey what can I say...it was very tempting offer AND she was hot too! I had many good reasons to."

Ancient human civilizations were largely made up of fallen monarchies, theocracies of dead gods, and a magicracy that waged a one too many wars.

The exception to this is places with weak ambient magic. In which case it closely mirrors our own.

Some legendary civs is ones like the Sunshine Empire because their imperial family were immortals. They did not die of natural causes and the fight for the throne was insanely vicious. They are noteworthy in not once did a non family member ever take the throne and their means of 'selecting' the next ruler was a free for all of the children and their backers. With the best one taking the throne unless they give up their rights to the throne. Which is the only known case of being able to stay alive and 'lose'. They were so powerful in their heyday it took the full might of an undead civilization to cause their collapse.

Another noteworthy ancient civilization is the Ataren Magicracy. They ruled many worlds before they made the poor decision of invading the wrong realm leading to their destruction. yes humans DID in fact invade other worlds and even realities during fantasy era. What you think the outsider invaders were all demons and eldritch beings?

Mythic eras are merely ages where they lost too many records of and it was so long ago it faded into myth. Truth is they aren't really that much different then any other eras its just so much was forgotten and got overblown it became a Mythic era.

Human records date back tends of thousands of years so things get...lost and confusing over the ages.

Things get a bit wonky is when say the human civilization were using tech and accidentally regressed. Usually by blowing themselves to bits so hard their tech level fell by thousands of years. Which has happened repeatedly even but its the rare side.

Supposedly the most technologically advanced human civ that went poof were the United Union. A mighty galactic federation that ruled a number of worlds before their their manifest destiny wore off and they vanished. Their tech was the most advanced ever recorded. What was peculiar however was there was no proof of cataclysm or war that destroyed them. They just slowly vanished until the only thing that remained of their civilization was the AI tasked with running it. Which worked quite well until they ran out of new orders.

As for how advanced they were. Ruins of a dyson sphere was discovered and not only were the necessities completely covered but even entertainment. Their AI was the best non super tech human made AI ever encountered. They had a very unique design that is clear marker of the United Union because nobody else has figured out how the hell it works yet.

"Fine," says the short woman anxiously peering behind her. "Certainly does go a long way to explain just how you ended up in this here colony har har. "You should be offering that food and drink to your rescuers. Now excuse me before I get hit again. I swear you would think someone like that should be nicer but alas."

After saying your goodbyes you finally got a much deserved rest and ice pouch for your groin. You swear it was like the one time you did that male stripping gig all over again. Except with more pirates. You never did find out what happen to poor Johnny when he accepted that one job...

A few days later you reopened your shop and found out the smoker was built. Adding a nice supply of smoked meats and fish. Which turned out to taste fucking delicious. Which should go over your customers quite well given how the processing for storage tends to remove some flavor. Something that adds flavor is very nice and you didn't have to shell out a lot of money for it.

You also found out the militia expanded if rough turret system has apparently been brought online. Expanding its reach into the local wilderness and waters even. You also got knews the captured frigate has been fully repaired but was last seen sinking beneath the waves for reasons unknown. Possibly to hunt unholy sea monsters or probable pirates.

You alas haven't heard anything about the bandits turned space pirates who rescued you.

Seriously, why do you want a tattoo? It's not like a jumpsuit or pair of armored undies or whatever is easy to "disarm" someone of. I don't think it would spped up deployment either, it's not a matter of having to cover us, it's a matter of arranging itself into functional armor.

You think it'd be cool to run around wearing the equivalent of a thin coating of paint instead of actual armor or clothing made to serve the same camouflage function? I can't criticize your personal preferences, but I'm afraid I do not share them.

With this roll we may pull it off. It's also good because we can if needs be spread it over ourselves if needs be for hidden armour or if someone grabs us we make a spike grow and impale them.

Here's an idea. We could use The Fisher for actual fishing-but rather than releasing them or taking their lives, we tame them. We start small to get the hang of it, but quickly work our way up to sea monsters.

We'll have the armor (in actual sealed power armor form) and shield equipped to help us of course.

Rolled 32 (1d100)

>>1246304
You put on your mask and armor. The last of which turns out to be surprisingly easy if strange to get used to because it feels like wearing a metal liquid bath. Except without the heat and strangely cooling.

After the 'training' yard turns out to be rather distant from the colony and from the looks of things. It was a former mine until it was repurposed for training purposes. Including fake buildings and even a bunker if a modified mine entrance is anything to go by. Here despite the lack of infrastructure its crawling with militia members. Usually training possibly in a small fake town and what appears to be construction into a fake urban center.

You also solved the mystery of where most of the militia vehicles are stored at. Trying to make themselves look somewhat pretty but failing in the process.

Here you found out that the nanite shroud passively eats at anything that gets within range. Somehow identify threats and non threatens. How you don't know. The plasma gun meanwhile had no fuel or munition source from what you could tell. It could also shoot bolts, continuous streams, or bloom like a flamethrower. Even more freakishly the adjusted mode of fire is per a barrel and you have a feeling that using a charged shot with different barrel types will either be a great or terrible idea.

The nanite armor is strangely enough capable of forming into other objects besides armor and can attack. You have a feeling an engineer could figure out some neat tricks with it. The gravity grenades meanwhile are as freaky as they look. What you weren't expecting was the grenade cluster option and being able to combine grenades with differing effects. Including the ones on the cluster. Sadly it takes time for new gravity grenades to be constructed, but how it does so with no source of power or materials you don't know. Much less the tech actually went into the grenades in the first place.

The forceshield meanwhile turned out to be controllable and it has variable settings for people, vehicles, and even ships. There was also a big button that was an overcharge mode. Which apparently meant it would block EVERYTHING for a brief period of time before shutting down from being overloaded.

The strangest was the Fisher. Which was a strange device that seemed it couldn't choose between light and dark. So it became a strange bipolar look that somehow avoided becoming a hybridized shadow. It's abilities were however difficult to test and it didn't seem to differentiate between different types of targets. As far as its scanners were considered humans, vehicles, and ships were all the same thing only different sizes.

For keeping the all threads easy to see I used Genie as one of the tags. Tho I'm not sure if others did the same. I just achieved the Super in a megacity.

We actually bought a rather nice helmet I believe, one for psi blocking. Although in the case of this tech, I wouldn't be surprised if it can indeed make a better one.

The Star Fishers were an extremely advanced species till they mysteriously vanished over a hundred thousand years ago at a minimum. Their tech is oddly useful to less advanced species due to their strangely helpful nature and deep fondness for ancient fashions. They liked to make their tech appear to be very primitive in looks.

For awhile there many were convinced their civilization was heavily reliant upon magic until later it was disproven through reverse engineering some of their technology.

Not magic just extremely primitive fashion sense.

Some are still convinced they did it solely to fuck with people with their possibly very strange sense of humor.

A big reason why so little of their tech was ever figured was due to everyone thinking it was actually magic and hence pointless. While the magic using species were convinced it was magic either so advanced it was beyond them or actually tech.

Basically a ton of misconceptions and confusion which is why so little was known about their actual ability.

>>1247427
>You have a feeling an engineer could figure out some neat

Rolled 66 (1d100)

>>1247435
The truth was later uncovered sadly the damage was already done at that point, but now its accepted they for some reason had a very ancient sense of fashion and were a technological specialized species. There was never any proof to indicate they used magic or even psionics.

They didn't even have gods and instead followed their own philosophy. Their governance was also very loose due to how migratory they were, but they weren't complete nomads. It's just they rarely chose to settle. Which made finding evidence about them even harder.

Truth is not very much is known about the Star Fishers even when they were still around.

But everyone knows about how absurdly advanced their means of FTL were and how they all mysteriously vanished on purpose. They didn't bother to hide the fact they were about to go on a journey that would cause them to all vanish and they did. Nobody knew what happened to them after the Star Fishers left the Stars behind.

Their means of FTL was after all some of the very best ever known to exist. They could easily hop between galaxy clusters with ease before they went poof.

A common train of thought is that they finally chose to ascend but records of their philosophy indicate that they only considered that when they were done with this reality. According to their own admission before they went poof they still had stuff to do in this reality. Tech wise they certainly reached that point but unlike most species they purposefully chose to stick around for unknown but probable philosophical reasons.

The armor can indeed create a helmet and mask. Which after some tinkering looked much better then your old one...

If there is no work we could see about setting up a business arrangement using the little petite girl as our face to negotiate with the pirates, we'll have to see about how much they'll want to split the profits and might not net us as much as attempting to do it covertly as a freelance miner grunt but it might have more of a success rate.

That'll be might difficult to do considering the environment, I'm not saying that it's a bad idea though.

Alright, head back to the shop to do our work and if we get a chance today or tomorrow we'll see about getting a local, preferred non-pirate but if need be we work with them, who frequents space for mining or other activities to set the machine up and collect on a regular basis.

Hell, it'll probably be a better idea to do this with the militia. The money could be used for equipment and armaments and/or improving the turret network.

Okay yeah, work with the militia when it comes to the dark matter. Sooner or later were going to have to clean up that ball-less town hall, I forget what they do to be honest.

>>1247632
Yes exactly! Possibly the militia frigate could use the Fisher for stealth and Inherited FTL for quick and easy travel to some dark spot between the stars. It leaves the collector there and comes back in a month or whenever and collect the dark matter.

There's also the Star Eater, although that sounds a lot harder to use subtly.

While we have talent, the Corp people have a lot of skill at getting the better end of deals. We need to be stronger first-skilled in trading, or at least more powerful in our ability. Only then could we cajole a fair price from Corp traders. Also Genie said the FTL is the only one people could easily recognize, so it'd be hard to offload any of the others.

Turns out the new smoker is proving to be quite the hit. Even you gotta admit the product it produces it quite a nice. Takes a bit of time to work and there is the need to acquire the smoke itself. but locals yourself included really like it. The pirates too once you allowed a sample and they quickly coughed up the currency for more.

Your profits have thus increased this turn.

Miners out here in the expanse are paid per haul of ore. You don't actually get a wage and the ore is examined for quality and quantity which determines how much your paid for it.

Ships meanwhile are very expensive when it comes to humanity. You will likely have to leave the system to find a seller or ask the pirates for any ships they got for sale. Which is likely but be aware chances are its gonna have been a looted vessel they previously captured.

Hero allows for more down to view of things and allows you to do stuff while the turn is completing. So if you wanna get a detailed view of things instead of a simplified over view you all gotta do is go over as the hero to take a look. You can also do other things while the turn is progressing.

The most expensive thing about a ship isn't the ship itself. Its actually the FTL drive and power supply. The Ship itself is number 3. Though some would argue the importance of a good heat sink and electronic warfare suite as a course of debate against the ship itself being number 3.

But gaining goodwill by running a good business seems more like something done over time. We can't rush it along by devoting more actions to it.

We had a specific way to improve it, getting a smokehouse, which was completed. Without having to spend consecutive actions on it I might add. I might also add that Rust's proposal did include spending time working at our shop,

So does anyone here have any opinion at all on character or colony name? Even if you don't like "Rhys Osman" but don't have an alternate suggestion, at least that would let me know we need to come up with something else.
If we also want to come up with a costumed name, I suggest "Fortunate Soul"

So as for colony name, how about... "Los Pescados?"

So I don't know if Genie is having to do/deal with personal stuff, having yet more computer problems, or just disheartened by having so few anons, but we're on page 5 now. So should Genie (or one of us) start a new thread sometime tomorrow? Or maybe Genie's upset by Rust's weird-ass choice of action structure.

I kind of figured that, but I don't know what the deal is with interstellar communication in Genieverse, but it seems like it would be underdeveloped for us (in this star system). Also planetary telecommunications would be underdeveloped and it might be hard to find the equivalent of a blue book for spaceships. But I guess maybe we'll get lucky or maybe I'm just wrong.

Bluebook for spaceships DOES actually exist. So long as you don't count the alien ones. Mostly because it would be hard to explain why it DOESN'T exist so it exists.

Infastructure would do us some good but I think your options for what to improve might be a waste since we're already
>Food: Very Good

I think instead we should work on School/Technical training facilities and/or Prisons. That way we could possibly start to increase our colonies tech level and hopefully not piss off the zealots while we also have a place to hold the bandits we arrest, he'll we could use the prisoners as almost free labor forced to work on stuff.

Rolled 98 (1d100)

>>1254768
The thing is, food could stand to be improved further, since right now it's the main thing we can export. We need supplies and funding if we're going to build a school or prison.

Having a larger surplus to trade is not what I would call a waste.

Although Rust's action might actually technically be more "Develop Resources," I'm not sure.

Rolled 85 (1d100)

>>1254476
Yeah, me too. Although I think they just want to start planning for it now, which I can see the wisdom of, but I want to make sure we have a clear goal here, a reason why we want our own ship; what makes it worth all the effort? Learn from the mistakes of the last quest, and settle on a fucking direction for the character.

While I'm at it, I want to know what people have against working with the militia if all we want to do is put the dark matter collector into use.

>>1254935
I'm with you on that it really just feels like it's more of a "going through the motions" when it comes to the ship. By that I mean we got those neat parts and we're sitting here "oh cool we've got some pretty neat parts, we need a ship to put them on."
Which doesn't satisfy an actual need for the ship. I'm guessing we don't know how to fly the ship so we would have to pay someone to fly it, plus maintenence and all sorts of other stuff.

I say we keep ourselves grounded (quite literally) and work on this colony and not do this silly waifu chase nonsense. Sure when Genie brings it up I can find it acceptable, but including finding the girl in every other action is just bleh.

I'd say my personal goals/hopes for while we are at the colony planetary level would be the following:
A. Increase our technological levels significantly while keeping good relations with our zealots.
B. Clear most bandits out from our planet.
C. Expand our colony across the planet

>>1254873
You are right having a larger supply of food to trade would not technically be a waste.
I just feel that getting up our tech earlier on will prove to possibly be more beneficial than having a larger food supply. As of right now we've got a homemade turret network that covers some amount of the colony (I forget how much). When it comes to upgrading that turret network it's going to be more of a pain with our current tech level than it would if we improved it. Additionally let's say we have a huge stockpile of food we plan to trade and the bandits hit us harder than our turret network plus our forces can handle, then it would be for not. Plus if I remember correctly bandits are the type that like to burn/destroy what they pillage unlike the pirates which would set us back a bit if they jack up our farms.

Rolled 43 (1d100)

>>1254873
Technically sort of. Resources are well...resources. It's not as clear as upgrading defenses or infrastructure but it covers a LOT.

Most source of meat is fish on the planet. Tons of fish. The farms meanwhile specialize towards more producing plants then meat. Basically you'll need to upgrade some of them or produce ranches which are specialized towards meat production. Be aware land mass is somewhat limited so your best off building such land intensive infrastructure on one of the 3 mini continents or rely upon corp farming techniques.

Eggs however are available they come in two different flavors. Fish eggs and crustacean eggs. One of the fisherman discovered a peculiar native crabby creature which carries around large sack of eggs and builds mini lairs on the coasts which as it turns out filters the water. The eggs themselves are light fluffy and surprisingly delicious. The child stage of the crabby creature is closer to that of a clam then a crab. The crab phase is actually their adult one and they leave the burrow. To build new ones and mate.

Sadly most of the fish eggs produced on the planet are seasonal but some of those crusty eggs are made year around. Especially in the tropics and oddly enough the polar regions.

You found they take well to pickling and making caviar. Salting doesn't work quite so well except on a few freshwater variants. Drying them out works though and makes a peculiar tasting dried egg. The dried eggs are especially popular among the pirates who insist they make the fluffiest eggs.

Megacorp Miner class Drone Carrier

A peculiar type of ship that while a carrier actually uses its drones to harvest resources in space and takes it back to the carrier. They are classified as the second largest type of mining vessel only being beaten by the gigantic planet eaters or space station harvesters.

While not designed strictly for combat as many a pirate learned the hard way they got enough space and drones to defend themselves quite well. Despite being such a huge prize they are among the most difficult of prey.

Few miner businesses who aren't a megacorp affiliate can afford one of these up to date hulks. The outdated ones however are very popular both as a means to mine and also they make a pretty decent jury rigged combat carrier in a pinch for a fraction of the cost of a real one.

Some would insist one of the major reasons why megacorps are so fond of them is in a pinch they can easily be modified into a combat carrier. Given how oddly modular megacorp business drone carriers are they may have a point.

Despite being outdated business carriers are still quite the hot commodity. Mostly because now its actually affordable. You don't wanna know how expensive the updated hulks cost. There is a reason why even the megacorps don't have too many of them around.

Business carriers generally meant for resource harvesting in the form of unleashing a swarm of locusts and having loads of cargo space with enough built in defensive countermeasures to give pirates a headache. Their life support systems and other systems tend to suffer because of this focus. Which is further exacerbated by being outdated enough to be replaced and sold on the market to help recoup the losses.

Now to begin the long list of available models...

Those sound like good long term goals. In the short to medium term, our goals for the colony are:
1. Safety
2. Prosperity
And we just have to figure out/agree on the best way to achieve these.
>>1255146
Okay, but how are we going to improve our tech level? I think the fastest and surest way would be to buy tech and hire any necessary specialists (including teachers, if you want a school). I'm sure there are other ways, but I'm not aware of them, so please tell me what your plan is to improve our tech without any money?

Well shit, let's say we build a schoolhouse like you want. What if the bandits fucking burn THAT down? Our crops may be more vulnerable while they're growing, but at some point most of them will be taken to more centralized storage. We have zealots, a turret network to protect our core, a homemade turret grid to protect what the network doesn't cover, and a frigate that can provide heavy support. So we're not exactly a sitting duck.

The frigate would be even better at protecting the colony if we let the militia use the wonderful ship components we found and they helped us bring back.

Farm upgrade arranged for this colonial turn. Farms will now produce more once the upgrades are finished.

After that you head to the militia base inside the colony itself. There you found the guy in charge as he orders for different patrol routes, hitting certain pirate locations, and actually bothers to enforce the law unlike the useless police. Here you found that there wasn't any militia member without an disguise. Even the top officer in charge himself took care to wear a mask. According to him the townhall could use some help, the cowardly cops be dealt with, crime expunged, and investigates need to be done.

After that you asked around to the militia present and charmed them enough to reveal info about your crush. According to them she is a strange one. Knows how to handle herself very well and if you weren't paying close attention wouldn't even know she was a girl. She apparently goes by Alex Rust in the militia. The militia also knew about her friend claiming she was a huge cunt in which you had to agree. As for what she does apparently she usually volunteers in the harsher operations. Like say patrolling near the spaceport which is always crawling with pirates. As for off the job some of them noted she really likes to hunt and the outdoors. A few insisted meanwhile she spends her free time in the temple or near the cost. While the rest claim she will often be found training or picking fights.

We'd end up needing to trade for the tech or hire some folks to train us in the production process which would end up costing us more as we would probably need a factory or something.

The burning of the school houses is a real possibility, I was thinking the tech level being our understanding of tech along with our current level of tech. If that is true then the more technically inclined we are the easier it would be to upgrade automated defences. And I'd figure the school house would probably located in a central Hub like the warehouse you mentioned.

Both are reasonable options for what we could have done, but we've went with the food route this turn. Depending on the levels of everything next turn I hope we work on our tech.

>End Goal
I want this colony to become a middle ground and trade hub for our system. The place you go too trade and such. Become the systems Barter Town.

>Why do you want the ship RUSTanon?
I wanted it so we could drop the Dark Matter Collector in various places to let it do it's thing, then sell said stuff for profit and quite possibly aid in fueling the Militia's stuff, Maybe even a new Generator down the line?

>What Should we be doing
I really want to get in their with the Militia, personally I want our "Normal Self" to work there part time/light shifts and our shop the rest of it. This way we make friends and work in a crowd earning Rep, get training and most importantly gain assess to the Town Hall frequently and input into their operations which we can aid in.
Meanwhile our "Cape" ego goes out and deals with the tougher stuff, the piss poor sheriff for example or even do a few jobs for the Pirates a little down the line if it's not against the Militia.

>Colony Actions?
Honestly I think we need to improve our Tech and security. We have the Food and Population, increasing these things will make an individual worth more, better able to protect and defend which may raise moral. Once things are more secure I propose we begin expanding our own operations into general good aside from food which is to get people through the door. While supplies coming in are hard we can provide the odd thing or people can ask us if we come across X please acquire it

Slight correcion (regarding the harvester carrier): We might want to get it with a template, specifically the militia one (although the salvager could be useful far down the line). I think template is different from model (and is optional, that is we can get an untemplated one?)

>>1255485
Okay, that makes sense and sounds like a reasonable plan.
Although I'm kind of worried about monsters, specifically checking for shapeshifters like the bandit boss recommended. Hopefully we can catch them with out personal actions if there are any about, but if there are any they need to be caught before they take root. I would've brought it up earlier, but I didn't want to seem like an ungrateful bastard when Rust was going with the colony action I wanted earlier and the personal action I wanted. But we can probably spend one turn setting up an education initiative.

>>1255558
Well, everyone in the militia wears disguises, so we don't need to be our "normal self" when working with them. We'll see how things shake out with working with pirates.

But now I'm even more confused about why you don't want to have the militia use the dark matter collector. Getting our own ship will take time, even if we could afford it right now, while they already have a frigate.

You chose to do some investigating and uncover some rather...worrying facts. Normally it should of been the cops investigating given how ill equipped the militia is to handle such duties. Alas they are a bunch of cowardly pussies. So you did some investigating and find some evidence. That the old bandit boss who mentioned shapeshifting monsters may have had a point. While it appears normal given less then a handful of vanishings with most of them later being recovered. Some of them started to exhibit peculiar behaviors against what they previously acted like. As if someone or something...took to wearing their skins.

You also found some evidence of corruption in the townhall. Possible colliding with space pirates and maybe even the bandits.
