If he knew all this shit was going to happen, why didn't try to fix this thing before it grew to such power. Like for example going down to Z4 to scatter pride's bones to stop the crazy A.I. from gaining the power of a freaking GOD.

Knowing that a ridiculously powerful malevolent ancient alien space reptile lies chained at the planet's core, does not imply one has the capability to find the elevator there, or that they know a small set of bones removed (somehow?) are the key to restoring the asshole to full power.

Knowing enough to destroy said reptile is not equivalent to knowing how to stop his rise to power.

That said Wiz is totally evil and will screw everything up at the last minute. Trust me, we know these things.

Wiz is trustworthy, I think. If you want to be sure, ask if the person he's talking about from long ago is one of our friends. He just said we "know them quite well", which could be one of our enemies too.

I say head to the tower but send another team to nab a spaceship to swoop in and evacuate the tower team right after Pride is defeated. I have a feeling that without his power it's near certain the tele-portal down will shut down and the tower'll start collapsing. Send whoever is the best pilot we have along with Nev to infiltrate the spaceport and steal the spaceship.

We're gonna need mind shields for everyone on both teams that could be susceptible to Pride's mind-screwing, plus one or two extra to use on any Morgani encountered on the way up we'll want a chat with. The tower team's also gonna need space suits. I don't trust Pride to keep the air in up there if he thinks he's gonna lose, and when he kicks the bucket it definitely isn't gonna stay in.

So if Wiz and Kyra weren't born, what are they and where did they come from? They're more or less biological so not robots. So... Clones? Ones with implanted memories and personalities? Or maybe perfected bio-constructs, similar to Lizbeth before she became a goddess? And what about everybody else? Are they all like these two?

>>540393
Did you consider that if we did do that Pride could just break the top off the tower and put that into orbit? Or make the entire tower above the blown out levels levitate. Or he's already made the tower indestructible. Besides we don't even have enough explosives to attempt it so it's a moot plan anyway.

how close are we to the building? cause if you're in walking distances I say just land this thing somewhere heard for them to follow (you do have a smaller car) and just hoof it on foot. (A person is a lot harder to find then a flying car)

If you're not close by then just try to loose them. If you take this route remember, YOU have a smaller car, that makes you a harder target and you can fit into places they can't. So use that you your full advantage.

"Annihilated?" Since when does the police force have that kind of weaponry? Probably since soon after Pride arrived, but call them out on it anyway to stall a bit. Then oblige them by landing... right in the Morgani tower lobby!

Dive at a sharp angle, take evasive maneuvers and get behind buildings. You're in a small nimble car and they're driving heavy APCs so get into where they can't fit. And don't hesitate to smash through windows and drive right through buildings if you know there's space inside for it.

This'd be a great distraction if you weren't stuck in the middle of it. As it is both sides are looking right where you're hiding, so if you try to sneak out they'll spot you. Preferably gonna need a another way out of this.

You still got that slice-anything sword? If so then cut a hole in the wall of the building or the pavement below big enough to crawl through, then pull a crate or box over the hole to cover your exit. This is the best way since neither side will know you were here.

If swording your way out is not an option then your best bet is to break out on the police side, since they aren't armored up or have heavy weapons, and they're gonna take cover behind the building soon to avoid Morgani fire. Call up Jara and have her be your eyes in the sky, watching the police and Morgani forces for an opening to speed-crawl out on the police side without the Morgani side spotting you.

Grab the top of the elevator! Or maybe you could jump down to the "falling" part of the elevator, grab the other sword, and wait until your ascent stops so you can grab onto the side of the building and cut an entrance into it. There's air in there, most likely. Probably safer than being out here, plus you'd have a sword again!

Dammit. I figured there wouldn't be enough air up here earlier and suggested breaking a space suit, but with the way everything is blowing your armor off it very likely would have been too if you did wear one.

You can't continue up any higher without at least an air tank and mask, and most likely an entire pressure suit, or you're just gonna pass out. Forget riding what's left of the elevator up. You're gonna have to get inside the building.

Jump down as fast as you can, land on the severed section of the elevator and grab the sword. Slice the doors out, wait until the severed section nearly reaches the apogee of its upward motion, then cut an opening into the building as quick as you can. It ought to work 'cause the severed elevator section still has its upward momentum and will expend it before gravity starts to pull it back down the elevator track.

well Nev has a space worthy vehicle so you guys actually have 2 cars now but you need to take out the power armors coming this way so Nev and Wiz can get in close to pick you guys up and wiz needs those armors gone so he can grab his compensation gun and blow some of the transports out of the sky.
>>
No. 541661 ID: f9cf6a

WAIT! Wait, wait, wait! Tyros can't take the power armor out there now! There's a ship firing a big red beam down at the base that Nev said neutralizes power armor. Though he could still take shots at the Morgani forces from inside the base entrance or from any other tunnels that lead outside.

This does mean that the power armors escorting the Morgani forces won't be able to get near the base while that beam is on, but I dunno how much that'll help us. Even if Nev brings the ship into the beam to fire on the transports it won't keep the power armors from firing on him from outside the beam. And I'm guessing that Nev trying to take on the ship firing the beam would be a bad idea, so that's out unless somebody has a clever idea.

Hmmm.... Maybe there's a way to bend or reflect all or part of the beam at the power armor escorts? Hey, Serki, Jara, you got any ideas if that's possible to do with anything that's in the base?

What options do we have for escape tunnels out of here? I know the whole planet is riddled with abandoned mining tunnels and shafts so there ought to be at least a few that could be broken into from the base.

Somebody call Kyra, or get over to her if she's not taking calls, and tell her that a fuck-ton of Morgani forces are about to land on our doorstep. She's either gonna have to finish up on Erin in record time or get her stable for transport.

Serki, what'd you mean by "self" earlier, when you were thinking about that android you're building? "Soul," perhaps? And transfered from whom?

Also, I suspect that your bot is going to eventually become Wiz after having a soul stuck in, followed by pseudo-time-travel shenanigans, and then replacing most of his bot body bits with grown human bio bits. So if you could slap it together to the point it can move and follow on its own that'd be swell.

And before I forget: Somebody please strip the outfits from those captured Morgani guards. We may need them for disguises later.

Okay, I think I figured out how Wiz knows what's happening: He's somehow using the universal rollback that activated for Liz when she died way back when we first met her; The one that reset everything but her memories. How far back it's resetting, what activates it or how he gets attached to it I don't know, but it fits.

Let's see... the tunnel going straight up isn't really gonna work for us, neither is the one going straight down. We don't have the climbing gear for it, so only Tyros would really be able to go through those. Unless there are elevators? If there are elevators I can assume that the tunnel up goes towards another entrance in the city, and there will be enemies coming down it now that they know we're in here. Going downhill in any way is a good plan, but they could destroy the elevators to trap us down here so howabout we take the one heading away from the city?

If there is an elevator for the tunnel going almost straight up, sabotage it yourselves. Or collapse the tunnel I guess. First priority is escaping pursuit.

Erin using her tail as support has merit, but only in the case that there's no way to carry her in the bed. It'd be enough for her to hobble along slowly alone, and move at almost normal walking speed if there's somebody for her to lean on.

Erin, wrap yourself in the bedsheets to keep warm. You could also try cutting a hole through them to make a crude poncho. Or do both if there's enough fabric.

And dammit, Sigma! Deleting and recreating right off the bat is not the proper way to deal with a malfunction! There might be an error in the base pattern or creation system for all you know. Investigate and trace back what caused the malfunction first, then attempt to fix the malfunction or do a workaround before going to the full delete and recreate.

Upsilon, excuse me, but who's "Alpha" and "Phi?" I'm going to assume you're talking about Pride or whatever is pulling his strings and Wiz, respectively. If that's the case then Phi did help us in many ways, including giving Erin a weapon that supposedly would kill Pride. (Erin, please hold that God-killer Nerf gun up for them to see.)

Erin got partway up Morgani Tower before the elevator was disabled, followed soon after by her leg getting shot off. She couldn't continue in that state and Tyros had to med-evac her back to base to get a new leg before she could try again. But they got back not long before the Morgani raid. They would have died up there if it weren't for us warning them of the power armor disabling beam and to escape down here.

Also, how the fuck does Tyros' power armor beam hitting the primary city power conduit blow a hole in the Universe and leave a glitch-void instead of just a huge crater? Seriously, power armor is OP as fuck but it's not that OP.

And if you're considering deleting everyone here, could you please exercise some finesse instead? Just wipe their memories of this encounter, plunk in some of a long boring trip through the tunnels, then edit their coordinates to where they would have exited to the surface if the tunnels were still here.

Well, it looks like we're gonna have to make a trip back to the base. Hopefully they thought the anti-Pride gun actually was a Nerf gun and didn't take it back with them.

I doubt they left the base unguarded, since y'all escaped and they don't want you doubling back for anything. Gonna have to sneak in, probably via one of the other mining tunnels that weren't collapsed. And to do that means Erin is going to need a replacement leg first, so we need a medical facility for Kyra to do her work. Anybody got any ideas on anyplace with those we could possibly reach?

Are those ships in the distance returning to Morgani Tower or did they just lift off and are coming this way? 'Cause the latter means big trouble even if Nev gets here in time to pick y'all up.

I have a feeling that ship with the power armor neutralization beam is going to be trouble later. Anybody got any idea what'd be needed to shoot it down or disable it? I doubt Tyros could shoot it down from on the ground but maybe he could. I dunno what that power armor's weapons are capable of.

And why is it snowing, anyway? Or maybe I should be asking why it never snowed on this planet before. Some form of planetary weather control system?

Take off as long as you need to, if you feel you need to. We can wait.

:VoiddaggerKAK: That’s quite clearly a combat vessel… um… I don’t think we got any weaponry powerful enough to take it down… the only way I can think of is if we got onboard somehow.

So you think this will make it easier to get back to the base since THERE base just blow up or no. also I think you guys should split up again one team to get Erin a new leg and the other to sneak back to your base (if it's still there) and see if you can't find the gun.

He's the only person tied to the experiment that we have any reason to trust.

Don't suddenly react to this, but there's three cloaked hostiles on top of the car; There's snow built up on them. They look to be most likely the same as those flying toothy monsters you encountered near the planet's core.

Message Johanna to tell her of the flying cloaked monsters on the car, then count down to simultaneously quick drawing your weapons and taking them out.

Erin, turn your "nympho" dial back, please. It sounds bad when you come on that strong that way. Besides, Kyra already has that angle more than covered in this party.

Nev, could you tell Wiz for us about the warning message us voices got about an "unknown material detected in TransMachina experiement" and that the "experiment is contaminated" when we went through the base. Don't show him Viridis just yet. Just see how he reacts first.

>>542466
Her name is "Johanna Eriksson." Said so when we switched to her. Nev, share her name with the room. You'll look slightly better in her eyes if you do.

And ask Johanna if she's willing to help after what she went through, but she doesn't have to. She could just run for the hills if she wants. But shit's going to go down out there and we could always use more help. And if we fail then, well, there's gonna be nowhere safe on this planet for her to go.

It looks like the only way up to the top of the tower is to head up in a spaceship. But with that warship hanging around nearby that's not going to be possible. So we have to get rid of the warship somehow. We don't have the weaponry to do it, so infiltration is the only remaining option. Are there any ways to get into that warship from down here? Morgani or military craft that're allowed to approach and enter it that we could steal or stow away in?
>>
No. 542531 ID: 9ddf68

Ok about the war ship. Are you people telling me that this planet had no military support at all? That everything was protected by the cops and Morgani? Cause if there was any actual military presents on this planet would it be to far fetched that they could have stored some kind of AA gun somewhere that we could use to take down the war ship? And if there was no military presents on this world then do you guys think Morgani or the police might have something we could us to this effect?

And if there's a flat no to all of these then ask Wiz if he could build something. I mean he is the gun lover of the group and with Serki and Jara (both who are good at building things) if we could get the materials needed we could actually build something to at least disable the ship... like a Massive EMP or something if the AA gun is out of our reach.

Oh, another, last ditch plan would be to go and pick up some soul-ice cream and have someone try eating it. Maybe it'll give you magic powers.

Another thing... uh, if Viridis is a phylactery, then that means you're a lich, or Erin/Claire is a lich even this time around. I suggest testing that by having either of you eat something raw. Like, raw fish. Avoid eating the flesh of anything sapient, and especially avoid eating soul-ice cream if either of you turns out to be a lich. Consuming sapient souls DESTROYS the lich's humanity. ...wait, Nev, do you remember having Viridis even as a child? In that case I don't know what the fuck. I guess if you are a lich somehow, you might have somehow retained your humanity through simply living life, and since you never used any necromantic power you never ran out of energy? Or maybe your memory was just modified to make you think you always had the doll. This is, after all, a false reality of some sort. Also I think when asking Wiz about the doll, have Erin there too. She is after all our host, and it wouldn't do to keep something this important secret from her.

Not on the planet, no. It’s privately owned and I think the Morgani would frown if the empire came and built on their planet without permission. Besides, the imperial fleet would be enough to protect a rock like this.

Oh uh, sorry, I was just spitting out information without thinking of the missing context. Liches are/were a form of powerful undead creature that needed to eat the flesh of the living to maintain their sanity and fuel their necromantic powers. Eating animals worked fine, thus the sushi, and if you were a lich you would be able to feel the increase in energy. Eating the flesh of a sapient creature would result in an addiction to it, I believe, though we only witnessed that with a different form of undead. It's possible that it's just incredibly delicious to a lich, and that would be disturbing to them while they are sane. Eating LIVE creatures allows the lich to consume the very soul of the victim. This fuels a lich more than just the meat, but consuming a sapient soul results in an immediate loss of all emotions, turning the lich into a megalomaniacal monster. Which is bad.

Put the doll away. It sounds like Erin's the lich, but to confirm it, ask Wiz what would happen if she ate the ice cream. Maybe her just being Claire means she retains some of the soul-consuming abilities of a lich, despite not being one?

At this point I can see a few different possibilities for the doll:
1) It's a container for some of Claire or Lizbeth's memories, which is kindof redundant since we have those on file. Or it could be a container for some of Erin's memories from the last loop?
2) It's Erin's real phylactery, but Erin isn't a real lich so it isn't working quite right, thus the migraine. In this case I wonder if it would still allow Erin to resurrect herself if she died.
3) It's an item created as a side effect of Claire's soul being inserted into the experiment, is effectively a fake phylactery, but Claire's soul resonates with it and who knows what would happen if Erin touched it?

In conclusion, ERIN SHOULD TOUCH IT DO IT DO IT DO IT

Uh, wait a minute. I thought Erin had Claire's soul? How is the doll also Claire? Don't tell me that Erin has a SIMULATED soul?! Wait nevermind, I think I get it now. The doll is acting as a conduit to let both parts of Erin speak on their own, independently. I didn't realize that Erin had Lizbeth's soul too- I thought she had Lizbeth's body, sortof.

Anyway, this is all neat and stuff but it doesn't seem to solve the problem of the warship. Also I'm not too keen on using Claire to kill Pride. It kinda sounds like that would result in a berserk Lich. Hey, maybe if we get some soul-infused ice cream and give it to the doll, Claire can absorb the power in it. We'd really need to ensure somehow that the soul involved is non-sapient though.

Well, for now, how about we try to get our two old friends their memories back? Lizbeth, try to remember your friends. Kevros, your cross-dressing paladin true love, and his obsession with your butt. Graven the grumpy elementalist and Maggie the scarred ninja. Oglaf the OP Defender, and Sonya the berserker Warrior.

How does Lizbeth have magic and Claire does not? Can't Claire drain some of Lizbeth's magic so that we'll have a lich on our side? That'd help. I'd like to get Claire on our side regardless, so long as she will behave. Ask Claire if she remembers that she needs to retain her humanity properly, and the speed of her reconstruction matters for that. A hasty reconstruction results in an insane lich. Oh, if Claire can detect the warships, let's bring her with us to the cog compound to find the ship there.

A risky teleport is not an option. We're not sacrificing anyone unless there's no alternative. Lizbeth should remember that lesson- Graven certainly learned it.

Oh, ask if Lizbeth remembers Kevros. And ask if Claire remembers Waran, Dylon, and Renault.

We've got the slight problem that things are starting to come in through the walls. Holding this position won't be as easy with things coming from all directions.

...unless we have annother way out of here, we might have to consider Liz's teleport as an emergency option.

Unless you can just telefrag the baddies away instead. Really, it's a lot safer throwing that power at them rather than us.

>I’ve never been in a fight before…
Well, luckily you're up against monsters, not people. You don't need to worry about killing for the first time slowing you down! You're also not alone, and I assume you've got some kind of speed augments to fall back on?

Oh and Jo (I'm going to call you Jo for short) do you know anything about that sword you're using? Cause if not all you really need to know about it is it can cut through anything so try not to swing it around people you don't want to slice up and no it can't deflect lasers... unless there's some kind of mod for that. So for now just try to stay out of the line of fire and if any of these things get close chop them in half.

Jo, everybody else has the front covered, so watch their backs. Shave the fingers and claws off of any beast that's poking them through the walls.

>>542951
Yeah, this is the right idea. Mass teleport all the fleshbeasts within range to the depths of outer space, telefraggin' 99.999% of them in the process.

But if that's not an option then teleporting the party a short distance to escape would be sensible. Keep it to "nausia" range and Kyra can give everyone a quick anti-nausia injection right before we 'port to counter that effect. Aim for a parking garage, since I assume between Wiz and Serki there's at least one person in the group that knows how to pop open and hotwire a car.

>>542959
I'm assuming Tyros went and hid the power armor outside the city, since it'd stick out like a giant red sore thumb in the city and get neutralized by the warship's anti-power-armor beam.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that the only way a teleport can go fatally wrong is by appearing inside something else. The process of taking something apart, converting it to energy, and then reassembling somewhere else kind of has risks independent of a clear landing zone.

Uh... Crap. Does the vehicle have any documents in it? In the glove compartment? Does the license plate say anything interesting? Maybe it's Dyne's car?

Claire, if you can create a protective field or something around everyone that'd be great. This is a much worse tactical situation so we need an edge.

Well, I guess I may as well try to get you two souls your memories back and see if that makes you stronger or something. Liz, do you remember your other friends? Graven, Maggie, Olof, Sanya? Claire, do you remember Thanra and Thanros? Thanra wound up going out with her sister Blackadder who was becoming a man, and Thanros got into a same-sex relationship with Balros. Do you remember The Sorvek? I guess you didn't know her that well, but she helped us all a great deal. Do you remember sparing Pride's miserable, pathetic life? Pride claims that this is all happening due to that, actually. Here, let me give you his explanation:
"Seven pieces to contain the power and seven pieces to wield them... owned by the sins. When Claire destroyed the containers every piece that wasn’t in existence was destroyed. Problem was, there was still one piece left... me. Of course, I had no power to wield... or, I should have had no power to wield, but Lizbeth, in her madness, had made a connection to the source of magic itself, the afterlife. Then I died, became a god, had some fun, grew bored, wanted to die, realized I can’t die, went mad, went sane, went too sane, went mad again just to mix things up... and here I am. "

So according to Pride, this is all because of you two. Claire for pitying Pride and not killing him before the destruction of the Vessel pieces we knew about, and Liz for establishing that backup connection. Now Pride wants your souls, because apparently he has some plan to kill himself and he needs you to do it. We can actually kill him now without giving you two up, he just won't believe us and let us try. I find myself wondering what Pride is so afraid of. What could we do to him that isn't vastly overshadowed by what he's gone through already? Maybe he's just a fucking weakling that's letting his mind be controlled by some ancient AI, in this false reality.

Morgani dug down to it and ending up setting in motion events that led to the nigh-omnipotent god-like entity Pride being released/resurrected. But we're also pretty sure there's also another power over Pride manipulating him, so destroying Pride likely isn't the end of this.

Now, we need to get under the Morgani Tower to attack Pride, so if the Admiral would kindly give the order to target the tower and the ground under it and remove it from existence through liberal application of weaponry, that'd really help get us get to him fast.

Oh, Erin, also tell the Admiral that you have allies in a small cargo ship outside the city that you'd like them not to blow out of the sky. Then radio Jara and Tyros to lift off and rendezvous with you in midair before heading down to Pride. We need to get those who aren't going into the fight onto the ship and outta here. We're also going to need Tyros and his power armor for this. Did we get a mind-shield for him? In fact, we're going to need them for everyone going in.

(Lets not directly mention gods and such.)
Tell him that: Miners discovered ancient beings with unknown capabilities, at least some of which are trying to kill everything. Be advised that among other things the hostiles have demonstrated mind-controlling abilities. Currently we are acting against one of the leaders of the hostile faction with some help from another faction. And yes we tried conventional weapons, but they have only worked on the cannon fodder. Glassing the place probably won't be much more effective.


...You know, it almost certainly won't directly harm Pride, but I am tempted to request having a ship annihilate the tower from above anyway. Sure he will most likely rise from the ashes like an apocalyptic phoenix, but fighting him there beats wandering through the basement looking for him after he has had time to prepare defenses. The only problem is the risk that he will just sit there under the rubble or run off to do something other than fighting us.

...I find myself wondering why Alpha is preventing Pride from killing Erin. Maybe because Alpha wants Pride to suffer? I think Alpha might be the Oracle, which Morgani recovered and repaired. The Oracle would indeed want to make its last remaining creator suffer as much as possible... because it is Wrath, and knows nothing but anger.

Well, anyway. We are presented with a problem here. If we break through the forcefield we'll be set upon by a swarm of fleshbeasts.

Virtue... it was a machine designed to imbue itself with godly powers. And it did, sort of. By draining the life from an entire planet and sending the survivors into the thankfully shielded planet's core. They didn't know that the power Virtue was designed to draw would destroy all life, or those who did thought that Virtue would be a god then, and recreate life as a sort of paradise with them as its immortal inhabitants. As unexpected as the death of the surface was, Virtue's powers were also unexpectedly limited. A last ditch effort to stop the god machine ended up stealing the vessel in which it stored the life essence it drained. Without that the god machine was unable to function, which tragically left the world both without life and without a god machine, nothing left besides a mindless vessel, a container being continuously filled with power automatically by the life sucking satellites in orbit around the planet.

The voice you know as Lizbeth ended the terrible cycle by deactivating the vessel, disabling the satellites and allowing life to regain its foothold on the surface naturally. Centuries later the voice you know as Claire arranged the destruction of all the power the vessel had collected in the past, as it was being used by one of the immortals, an evil clown known as Alynna, or Envy, to try and restart the satellites and begin the god machine project again.

And that's the end. No more vessel. No more god machine. No more life draining for anyone. But the immortal copies of its creators were unable to die as Pride pointed out. Somehow their lives were still entwined with the vessel, even though it was deactivated, drained and basically gone. Pride thinks he has the solution, whatever crucial piece to the dismantling that Claire missed, but Alynna's remote control of him using similar abilities as Erin turned him instead into a maniacal terror you know so well now. Then he got uh... chained by... light by unknown forces... and uh... someone took out his rib, and that temporarily rendered him non immortal for some reason? Not clear on that part.

But if Pride is immortal, then so is Alynna the clown, the orchestrator of this whole wretched catastrophe. And while the vessel was destroyed, its creator Wrath also still exists. Which means the knowledge of how to create the god machine from scratch still exists. And apparantly they've had a breakthrough, since it now drains life well beyond the limit of the surface of a single planet.

Incidentally we had until a few hours ago access to the controlling computer exercising the use of this power. Pride revoked it though, so all we did was some impotent light tricks before we were back to square 1.

If Lizbeth is in Erin's head, and Pride is a bad guy and at the tower's base, and Wrath is completely insane and also one of the bad guys under Alynna's control, and you're obviously right here... who is operating the space ship? Sloth? There were 7 people targeted for immortality by the god machine, and they would be the only survivors of its effects. I only know of 6. Alynna (Envy), Wrath, Sloth, Pride, Lizbeth (Lust), and... you.

You've got a lot of things wrong:
1. There was never a "god machine" Virtue. Virtue is the name given to the machine that drew in all that power, nothing more. Originally, the Vessel was a term used to describe the entity that could control all that power, but came to be used to describe the entire system. The Oracle was a machine made to analyze all timelines to allow the Vessel to use time magic effectively.
2. Nobody "stole" the Vessel. The people that made Virtue created the seven focus crystals and seven golems to store the power and the golems could potentially use it once all seven crystals were gathered. I'm not sure who programmed the golems, but they were generally made to resemble the seven people behind the project. I suspect they knew it would destroy all life on the surface, which is why people were able to retreat underground before they died. It was also made in response to an impending nuclear apocalypse, to try to prevent it.
3. Alyssa is Envy's name, and while she was involved in the crisis in Claire's time, Lust was also a major player, let's not forget that. Alyssa is also very dead. None of the Sins who were dead when the Vessel's focus crystals were destroyed could reincarnate; only Pride was alive as far as we know... and I don't think he even had access to the Vessel's power.
4. The Vessel's creator, Jacob Waechter, is not actually Wrath. The Oracle is, and got reactivated by Morgani in the real crisis we weren't present for, and I guess the Oracle had knowledge of how to create the Vessel and gave it to Morgani, who foolishly delved into it and somehow reactivated or recreated the soul-draining machines. Maybe the Oracle fooled them into designing something that they didn't understand?
5. Lizbeth is in the doll. The space ship is part of the experiment and staffed by more organic robots.
6. Lizbeth isn't Lust, what. Ridcully is Lust.

We never personally met Gluttony until the very end of Lizbeth's quest, when she unlocked access to the inside of Virtue. Gluttony was uh... let me look it up: Freya Sturesson.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Lizbeth was one of the seven golems created, and signs point to her being a "Sloth" of some sort. None of the other people involved in the project used that sin as a codename, after all, but she had one of the focus crystals in her body.

Johanna, we see you hiding behind the car. You may as well step out, get a mind-shield and join the party. Just don't expect to come out of this in any way alive. You got any skills other than fight-y ones that may be useful here?

Tyros, you're right about there being no end to the fleshbeasts. Pride can create them faster than you can destroy them. Claire, stop draining the shield. Tyros, stop firing. We need another plan.

What we need is a way to destroy any fleshbeasts that come near our group. Something like a spherical force field version of the power armor beam that'd annihilate them from any angle they approach. Then we could walk right through them. Does Ty's power armor already have a feature like that, or could we get a pack for the power armor that'd do that dropped by the Admiral?

Or perhaps we don't even need a technological solution to this. Claire, could you suck the magic right out of those fleshbeasts? Or if there's no magic could you pull the life out of them and unmake them? Then use the juice to project a shield around the group? If you can then do that.

I'd actually prefer to combine these two options if possible. That way we'll have a backup if Pride yanks the fleshbeasts back and uses direct attacks or something else instead.

Yeah, thanks for corrections. Nobody used code name "Lust" either though. And someone using "Sloth" did show up, tried to screw things up, and got wiped off the map. I think Liz is pretty much earned the right to claim the code name "Lust." Also the focus crystals were scattered and hidden, so I assume they got stolen. And I meant "the immortal golem with a focus crystal in her chest known as Alyssa" not the original one who we've never met.

well shit we're stuck in a true illusion now so things are going to get 'fun' real quick. The only way out of these things is to disbelieve everything around you and see it as it really is (an illusion) but in order to do so you need to find something that can prove to you that everything is an illusions and yes it's as big of a pain in the ass as it sounds.

Anyway yes go with the ice cream specifically the wizard lizard blizzard and make sure pride eats his first so he can do the whole "I'm so much better then you and I'm going to tell you way before I kill you" speech without stopping for licks. Those things are usually long enough as they are without breaks.

Should we destroy the machine now? Or what? Ask Wiz how to end this permanently. It's a bit precarious at the moment- if at any point the doll containing Oracle were to be destroyed, she would be free again, wouldn't she? Wait, Wiz called it "he". Who is that, really?

Liz, you're wrong about what happens to souls after they die. That doll isn't where you were all this time. Remember, you didn't enter it until Erin touched it. It certainly wasn't around when Claire died, and you were too insane when you died to have such a contingency. Face it, you were brought back from the afterlife to make Erin who she is, and that doll was planted in the experiment... by someone else. I wonder who? Pride maybe?

Also we've spoken to Graven directly. So there's that sort of direct proof.

Well, that clinches it. Tell him he can stay with his new girlfriend. You're gonna go out and seek your own fortune.

So, Pride, with the Vessel destroyed, there's no afterlife anymore? When people die, they just... die? That's kinda sad. It sounds like there was a limited number of souls in the universe though, so I guess there can't be an eternal afterlife for everyone. It WAS possible once for us to claim souls and add them to our collective, though. I wonder if we can still do that? I wonder what we are, exactly, if not souls. We existed before the Vessel.

[Never!]
>So, Pride, with the Vessel destroyed, there's no afterlife anymore?
:PrideKAK: There is still an afterlife… sort of… you just kind of lose your sense of self and your memories while you wait to be reincarnated… if that makes sense.
>I wonder what we are, exactly, if not souls. We existed before the Vessel.
:PrideKAK: You are souls. Well, souls melted together into one great ball… with a lot of different personalities… merged from different people… and stuff… waiting to be reincarnated…

>this one's for Wiz. What did you mean when you implied Kyra was not who she seemed to be?
:WizKAK: She’s a soulless organic machine that was built just a few days ago… like everyone else. She not the original Kyra, the one I fell in love with.
>I was under the impression that you created a localized virtual-reality that was super-positioned with the physical reality about the planet, SHODAN style!
:UpsilonKAK: Artificial, yes. Virtual, only some parts. Most of the experiment does actually exist and isn’t just data floating around.
>What about the space-ships?!
:TauKAK: [Constructed to help you with the Alpha.]
:ErinKAK: But why make seem like imperial troops?
:SigmaKAK: Confusion, mostly. It made the alpha dou-dou-doubt that he really did exterminated all life, that we’ve instead tricked him some-some-somehow, thus making him waste his precious processing power looking for a red herr-herr-herring. There’s a reason why you didn’t encounter any res-res-resistance on your way to him, you know.

>Well, that clinches it. Tell him he can stay with his new girlfriend.

>Oh lay off him, Erin. Wasn't he leery about her being involved in the first place? He's jumping into it with both feet because he thought you wanted it.

:VoiddaggerKAK: I’m sorry, alright! Of course our relationship is special! It’s just… I’m still a bit emotionally confused with the whole new you and old you… I mean, I’ve only know new you for a few days… and you did send out some mixed signals about all this…
:CogKAK: So… you’re just going to leave me?
:VoiddaggerKAK: What!? No! Wait… I mean… um… You’re both wonderful women, alright? I… I don’t really know what I’ll do… I want to be with both of you… I want to try creating a future with the both of you… but… I can’t, can’t I? I’m sorry… I was a bit selfish… I… I just don’t know what to do, alright? I really like you, Erin, but I don’t really know how I should feel about old you… or new you… and Johanna… I know we’ve spent a lot of time talking when you were imprisoned in the base… but I want to know the real you… I… I don’t know what to do anymore… I’m sorry…

Make him choose. It's not in his programming, so maybe... maybe we can encourage him to develop a soul so that he CAN choose. If he doesn't develop a soul, though, I really recommend you leave him. His lack of true creativity would become more obvious the more time you spent with him, and the relationship would suffer for it.

The alternative is for us to switch to him and see if our presence plants the seed, or we could just talk to him to work out his problems.

Well. I guess it's up to you, Erin, if you want to do this. I don't think a long-term relationship is going to work well with people without any true creativity, but maybe they will gain souls eventually, now that they've all been released?

Wiz, how come you're keeping your distance from Kyra now? You're just like her and the new Serki. There's nothing stopping you from modifying your own body so that you can participate in a relationship like that.

>>544738
Not necessarily. Our passing through Nev and the others may have left a residue of souls behind that formed into one. So to really run an experiment it would require creating bio-bots that we've never interacted with and never would.

So as an experiment to test this the AIs could pick another world, create a colony setting with bio-bots with false memories and leave them running long-term without controls to see if they develop souls on their own. It may turn out that the reason the ones in this experiment didn't develop souls was 'cause the experimental cycle didn't run long enough before being reset and it was too tightly controlled.

If no weapons are available, uh, how about that taser overcharge? Just gotta be careful how you aim it.

Or a bio-overcharge, and kick the robot through the window.

>’Sup Pride.
:PrideKAK: Oh, I’m just a bit irritated that you didn’t invite me your kids first birthday.
:JaraKAK: Wha- where did you come from!?
:TyrosKAK: Err… to be fair, we had no way to contact you, so we-
:ErinKAK: Get out of the way!!
>Shove them out of the way, prepare for bastard incoming!
:JaraKAK: AAAH!! WATCH THE BABY!!
:ErinKAK: Everyone! GET DOWN!!
:CreatureKAK: Vengea-

>If you have your sword with you, you could just slice Wrath in two as it descends.
:CreatureKAK: MALFUCTION! MAL- tio- nnnn…
:PrideKAK: So… where’s the cake? I brought some ice cream just in case you didn’t have any…
:KyraKAK: …what the hell did just happened?

Insert And then there will be cake… and you’ll be baked….

The other sins crashed the party. We got Liz to reverse time enough for Erin to do an awesome boss kill.

Does that purple energy surrounding the red blob mean you have Wrath under wraps?

Also if you bind him to the ice cream make sure no one eats that portion.

wait, how many swords did you throw? should probably make sure those don't impale someone on the way down.

Oh and Pride 2 things. One, That is a very nice suit, where'd you get it? and two, this ice cream, normal or the soul stealing kind? cause if it's the later I say save it for Halloween.

Claire might want to eat Wrath's soul now, if it's gonna keep coming back in robot form... but that won't be necessary if we can verify that it is dispersing into energy like it should be.

I mean, that could've been a backup body with a fragment of Wrath's soul, like lizbeth and claire's doll.

Oh, and find out where that damn thing came from. Wouldn't it suck if there were more of them?

>The other sins crashe-
:PrideKAK: Knowing what happened is irrelevant right now. I will remove your memories of this in just a sec anyway.
:ErinKAK: Wai-
>That is a very nice suit, where'd you get it?
:PrideKAK: I imaged that exist, so now it does.
:ErinKAK: About that me-

>Does that purple energy surrounding the red blob mean you have Wrath under wraps?
:PrideKAK: Yes, don’t worry, he won’t trouble you no more.
>if you bind him to the ice cream make sure no one eats that portion.
:PrideKAK: But that would ruin my whole plan I have about disposing of him!
>Claire might want to eat Wrath's soul now…
:ErinKAK: …didn’t you guys say people go mad if they do something like that?
:PrideKAK: Not if you make the right precautions. Eat up, Claire.
<Bluh, he taste like someone took animal dropping and covered them in chocolate.>

>Oh, and find out where that damn thing came from. Wouldn't it suck if there were more of them?
:PrideKAK: Don’t worry, I’ve been tracking him for over a year and a half. There aren’t any more versions of him. But… now that it’s over… it’s time to say goodbye.
:JaraKAK: Goodbye?
:ErinKAK: um… the memory wi-
:PrideKAK: Yes. We’re leaving… and we’re removing ourselves from all your memories. We need to be forgotten.
:VoiddaggerKAK: …why?
:PrideKAK: Because with great power comes great responsibilities. So… goodbye. We’ll never see each other again… well… expect for Erin, but that’s a different story.
<Goodbye… it’s been fun… and how dare you quote the gospel of spiderman!? Batman was the true prophet, heathen!>
<…way to ruin the moment, Liz… and see you guys…>
:ErinKAK: Wai-



:ErinKAK: Elizabeth… wait… huh… déjà vu…
:UnknownKAK: Vu?
:JaraKAK: So… Erin… any plans for… you know… enlarge the family?
:ErinKAK: Well… we have talked about it…
:JaraKAK: Looks like you’ll beat Kyra and Serki to it, at least.
:ErinKAK: Actually, I’ve already lost that race.
:KyraKAK: …wait, how did you- you used that soul scanning thing again, didn’t you?
:ErinKAK: Maybe~ …let’s just say that there are five people to many in this room right now~
:KyraKAK: B-but… I’m not ready to be a mom!

Epilog – Pride… billions and billions of years later… at the end of the universe.

:Lizbeth: Two bottles of beer on the wall, two bottles of beer! Take it down, pass it aroun-

Epilog – Oh, Lizbeth and Claire too… and Erin… kind off… yea…

:PrideKAK: Do you really have to sing that while we wait for the universe to end?
:Lizbeth: We aren’t doing anything else worthwhile you know…
:ClairePIX: We should always play another game of Monopoly?
:ErinKAK: Why shouldn’t you guys save something more than just a monopoly game!?
:PrideKAK: Hey! Don’t blame me! I didn’t see you trying to save anything!
:Lizbeth: One bottle of beer on the wall, one bottle of beer! Take it down, pass it-
:ClairePIX: And there’s goes the universe…
:Lizbeth: …Welp, what now?

>Summon the biggest Dope fish!
:PrideKAK: Of course!

Warning, Dope mass exceeds that of normal values! ERROR! The Universe has committed an illegal action and will shut down! All your unsaved data will be lost! Have a nice day.

:Lizbeth: But the universe was dead! DEAD I TELL YO-

Don't forget, the whole setting is framed as one big computer game. We just don't mention it because last time we tried we disbelieved Lizbeth and got a game-over.

On an unrelated note, I'm slightly surprised that Kev's codpiece hasn't hit anything this whole time.

I feel sorry for Pride.
It took the universe dying twice to satisfy his death wish.
