I found out if you pet a DD they can't hurt you. A DD explained this to me right before attacking, thankfully I've been petting them for the last 6 hours. Hand's getting tired though...
Ahh, the fire is renewed with fresh lumber, excelent, we can begin
>>242864 An algorithm will never tell me I can't do something
>>242274 >It looks like Y zoned out again… more so than before. >The drool is starting to form a puddle under the chair. >But her eyes aren’t empty this time — instead, her screen displays an X. >You call to her, but she doesn’t respond. >You kneel in front of her (avoiding the puddle) to see if she started boot-looping and her screen just didn’t catch up. >Doesn’t seem like that’s the case. >You try to poke her screen to see if it causes a response. >When your finger draws near her face, Y snaps at you. >You manage to pull your hand away in time, but you also recoil back, falling flat on your ass. >Once you land, Y lunges at you from the chair. >You let out an incredibly manly yelp. >Absolutely not a girly scream. >No, sir, you wouldn’t. >Your howling was apparently enough to snap Y out of whatever trance she got herself into. >She’s currently sitting on your stomach, pinning your hands to the ground with her own. >Lethargically, Phi rises from the table. >“Well, well, well, boss — and I’M the one scaring away our poor Anon?” >Y’s screen lights up like a bulb. >“Zis… is not vat it looks like… I am suffering ein small system malfunction…” >She lets your hands go and gets off you. >You rise to your feet and compose yourself. >Y is hiding behind the chair, curled up in the fetal position. >You ask what exactly her malfunction is. >Phi responds first: >“Our glorious squad leader over here stepped on a landmine. Shrapnel must have hit her processing unit.” >Y immediately jumps back up. >“Phi, shut it! I’ll tell him myself!” >Alright, alright — but how did she do it? >The mines are mapped the second they’re placed. She should’ve seen it on her HUD. >Y avoids eye contact for a second before replying: >“I… uhh, do not remember… shrapnel must have hit one of mein data drives.” >Okay. And Phi? She said something about an accident earlier. >“What!? Me? I don’t know… I, uh, just heard an explosion, rushed over to investigate, and found Y lying in the snow with holes all over.” >“And I must add that the first thing she wanted to do was change into her spare uniform, because: ‘Zese holes are unbefitting of one such as meinself.’” >Y protests that last part. >“I did not zay anyzing like zat!” >“Sure you did, you diva. You just don’t remember ‘cause your data drive is full of holes.” >You’ve heard enough. You’ll write up the incident report as a freak accident. >Now you have to inspect the damage. >Y begins slowly unbuttoning her shirt — it’s clear this is embarrassing for her. >Now that there’s only a hat left on her, you start looking her up and down. >Her legs are a bit dented — you’ll need to replace those. >The torso part of her chassis is like Swiss cheese. >The polymer sections are full of holes — small ones, but enough that resin can’t patch all of them. >The rubber midsection is torn to shreds. >Gonna need to replace that too. >You’ll have to clean her internals and remove any shrapnel before assessing damage to her components. >Y lays down on the remaining empty space on the table and you open her hatch. >Let’s start with the shrapnel — you don’t want to cut your hand while fiddling with something else. >As you pull bits of lead and plasteel out of her, you realize Y got very lucky. >You only spot one component with shrapnel embedded in it: >Her DICC — Disassembler Integrated Combat Controller. >Weird — this part shouldn’t cause her to glitch out. >She’d be less effective in combat and lose advanced manoeuvres, but not start acting like this. >Maybe it’s sending garbage data to her CPU? >After the shrapnel, you move to the dust. >Just a few clumps — but bigger than usual. >Each time you remove a piece, Y lets out a moan. >Oh wow — the DICC must be causing this behavior. Better work quick.
>>242865 >Time to remove the torn rubber. >You need to get it off anyway, and it’ll let you inspect her better. >You take out your Nimbus multi-tool and start unscrewing the mount points of the rubber midsection. >“OH… Herr Anon, zat feels… funny.” >A little while later, the final screw comes loose and you slide off the reinforced vulcanite housing. >Next up: her legs. >You originally wanted to replace only her stiletto feet, but both legs are dented everywhere. >You reach into her lower chassis through the hole where her midsection used to be. >The leg mount release is in a fiddly spot. >Thankfully, Y guides you: >“Ah… Herr Anon… a bit to ze left…” >Thanks to her, you find the mount and loosen it with a wrench. >Eventually, the leg falls onto the table. >All that’s left is disconnecting it from the lower motor controller. >You start working on it, but Y is clearly reacting — grunting, moaning, breathing heavily. >A symphony of sounds from a drone suffering system errors. >You speed up your hand movements to ease her discomfort quickly. >“AH, ANON V-VAIT! NOT… SO FAST… I’M GONNA—” >She suddenly stops as the leg mount pops. >Her screen goes black — a loading icon appears. >Phi chimes in: >“She boot-looped from that?! My, my — she must’ve really needed this.” >Back to diagnostics. Both Y and Phi mentioned a damaged data drive. >As you reach in to inspect, Phi calls out: >“Hey, save it for when she comes to. Just look at her — it shouldn’t go to waste.” >Save what, exactly? >“Wait, you still don’t kno—” >Phi stops mid-sentence, snickers, and resumes: >“Anon, listen. This stuff is… important to us. It’s better when it’s done when we’re awake. You know… for bonding.” >They didn’t cover this in Drone Psychology 101. >But yeah… you can see how a drone could get attached to someone who gets elbow-deep into them. >You decide to wait for Y to finish rebooting. >In the meantime, you start on paperwork for the other three drones. >By the time you finish Delta’s, Y reboots. >“Uhh… I don’t know what happened but I feel great! …But vhy can’t I feel mein legs?” >You return to Y’s side to continue. >She tries to stand, almost falls — but you catch her in time. >You try to sit her down on the table, but she holds onto you tightly. >“Herr Anon~, gib me a hug~” >Alright — not all her faculties are back online yet. >You return the hug, doing your best not to squeeze any exposed parts. >After a moment, she breaks the hug herself — flustered and embarrassed. >“Ah… Herr Anon, I’m sorry, I…” >You laugh and tell her to lie down — you still need to check those drives. >Weird — none of them looks visibly damaged. >You disconnect and reconnect each one, but Y still doesn’t remember how she stepped on that mine. >Maybe they knocked into each other and got damaged internally. >You’ll check tomorrow — diagnostics are scheduled anyway. >Right — only thing left is fixing up her chassis and replacing parts. >You’ve already filled in the requisition papers, just need to get them to Elena. >As you turn around to leave, Y calls out: >“Vait! Anon, do not leave me here in such a state! Not viz zem!” >No can do — not like you can carry her on your back. >...But maybe you should try? >Phi pushes past Theta and Delta and approaches Y: >“Oh come on, boss. I don’t bite… much.” >Oh boy. Hope she won’t get teased too hard. >You head down the empty corridors toward the storage room. >You find Elena standing behind the counter. >Her display lights up when she sees you. >“ANON! You came back so soon! Good to see you!” >Her tail is wagging behind her excitedly. >You explain: you came for a pair of DD legs, a drone midsection, and — can’t forget — a new DICC for Y. >Elena’s screen dims and her tail droops. >“Oh… you have a squad to take care of…” >She looks disappointed. >“…That’s alright. Give me the requisition slip — I’ll fetch the parts you need.” >She disappears behind shelves filled with spare parts and ammunition. >When she returns, she’s carrying everything in a cardboard box.
>>242867 >She places it on the counter and hands you a form. >But wait — you aren’t that dense. She’s upset. Maybe you should ask. >“Oh… well, Anon, it’s just that I thought… maybe we could do something together? You >know, when you have time off?” >“But you’ll probably want to spend that time with your squad…” >You remember what Phi said — about drones getting attached to techs who work on them. >If you really are her first, she might think you’re special. >Well, how are you gonna dig yourself out of this one? >Your squad is going on a week-long patrol in three days. Maybe you could meet then? >Elena’s screen lights up again. >“Really? You want to do that? I… I’ll be free then. See you later?” >You sign the form and thank Elena before taking the box and leaving. >“Bye Anon! And thanks for coming by!” >You return to the service room. >Theta and Delta are sitting on a picnic blanket, drinking oil from wine glasses. >You’re not sure where they got the blanket and the glasses, but you’re not one to judge how they use their oil rations. >And you must admit, they look cute. >Looking at the table, you see Phi sitting in the chair trying to poke Y, who's trying to cover her exposed innards with her arms. >“Oh Anon, zank God you’re back.” >Phi pushed the chair back, giving you space to work on Y while she watched. >You place the box of components on the table and resumed repairs >First, filling the holes in Y’s chassis. >You once again pull out the jar of repair resin. >Now to smear it on Y. >This will be messy, but you should be able to sand away any excess resin. >Good thing this stuff is non-toxic. You just smear it on your hands and rub it on Y. >You begin rubbing her lower torso. >You run your hands across Y’s chassis. >After a while, you begin stroking her backplate to fill a particularly big hole. >“Ah! Anon, can you slow down?” >Probably a bonding thing—sure thing. >You slowly and rhythmically move both your hands from the respective ends of her backplate and toward the middle. >Then you move them back. >Then to the middle. >And back again. >And so on, and so forth. >After a while, you feel that you’re done with this part. >You move to her upper chassis. >Your hands move in a similar manner as before—starting at the sides of her chest and moving upwards and toward the middle, avoiding the little display. >After that, you move onto the arms. >At first, you raise Y’s arm by the wrist to get better access to it. >But Y breaks it free from your grasp and begins holding your hand instead. >This works, I guess? >You start at the connection joint and move upwards toward her hand before turning your hand and moving downwards on the other side of her arm. >Y is rather pleased with your actions. >Quite the litany of moans and gasps leaves her mouth. >This is practically a massage for her. >You repeat the process for the other arm. >Now with Y covered in resin, you take out your pulse lamp and begin the hardening process. >First, you harden the outside. >Then you move onto the inside. >No need to reach through the hatch—you have plenty of access points in the form of the missing >rubber. >The UV rays from the lamp are known for causing glitches in drones. Delta couldn’t even sit after >his session. >But Y— >Y is getting a whole other level. >Each time the lamp releases a high-powered pulse, she practically jumps, grunting and moaning. >Once the resin is all cured, you give Y the new DICC. >You disconnect the broken component, prompting Y to moan again, her screen beginning to show artifacts. >This is caused by an abrupt stop in data flow, for sure. >You quickly slot in the new part and plug the cables in. >This magnifies the artifacts and prompts Y to moan louder. >Alright, probably just the calibration process being funky. >You move on to the legs. Thankfully, when the joint is being connected, the mounting point locks itself.
>>242868 >So you only really connect the new legs with cables before plugging them in. >You check if you didn’t mix up the left and right leg. >There is a difference, and you messed this up once in boot camp. >Thankfully, you didn’t make that mistake this time. >Right now, attach the new rubber midsection and you can move onto detail work. >This procedure is a lot more fiddly than taking one off. >You start by half-screwing the component to the upper chassis. >Then the same with the lower chassis. >Now you have to tighten all the screws going counter-clockwise, alternating between the upper and lower parts of the chassis to maintain proper surface tension. >This process takes a lot of time. >In one moment you have to be up to your armpit in Y; the next, you have to retreat to her service hatch. >Speaking of which, you can finally close it. >You’re not completely done, though. >You take out the sandpaper and begin removing the excess hardened resin from Y’s chassis. >Going slow like Y wanted actually made your patching job a lot neater, so you don’t need to do >much. >You hide your sandpaper and wipe the sweat off your brow. >Y begins to rise from the table. >“Zank you Anon, I feel a LOT better now, you vere great.” >You stop her. >There is still one thing you have to do. >Well, not have to, but procedure suggests it. >Whenever any work on the outside chassis is done, >One more tool should be used to finish the job. >You reach for your toolbox and take it out: >The angle buffer. >Once you hold the tool out, all drones in the room look at it as if it were an arcane contraption. >Y’s voice trembles and her eyes dart between the buffer and you. >“A-Anon… are you sure? You already did zo much, I don’t zink I can take any more .” >You place a finger on her mouth and hush her. >You ended your training this week; procedure is still like scripture to you, and machine god damn it, you are going to follow it to the letter. >Phi leaves her stunned state just for a second. >“Y, I—I’m so incredibly jealous.” >You take out the tube of wax and smear it on Y. >Once there is wax on every part of her body, you turn your tool on and begin polishing. >Starting with her legs and the smallest disk, you set it to a high RPM. >The legs are made from titanium and can take the heat. >Y moans as you move the spinning disk of cloth up her leg and closer to her waist. >Then when you finally reach it, you jump from one leg to the other. >Y begins calm and collected, but with each move upwards, she begins to moan louder and louder. >The moans reach their peak as you near her waist and begin to quiet as you move down. >This cycle repeats itself a few times. >After this, you move onto the waist and chest. >You switch to a bigger disk and turn the RPM down so that the heat doesn’t discolor the chassis. >This time, Y’s moans stay at their peak as long as you polish her waist, becoming more tame—yet still prevalent—as you work. >You slowly trace circles on Y until you can see your reflection on her torso. >You switch to the smaller disk again. >Time for her arms. >Y doesn’t moan or even whimper as you move your buffer up and down her arms. >She merely giggles. >Breathing heavily, she attempts to stand up again. >But she is shaking and barely able to move. You stop her with your hands. >You gently flip her over and splay her out on the table, arms and legs apart. >You haven’t done the backside yet. >You decide to start with the arms this time. >Y is unable to contain her giggles. >After that, you move onto her back. >The gentle moaning resumes. >For some reason, you decide to do the legs next. >Once Y feels where you’re polishing, she begins to whimper. >The whimpers turn into moans and groans as you move up. >And now it's time for the final part: >The backplate. >You ask Y if she’s doing alright. >You don’t get an answer you understand. >She slurs her words so heavily that it comes out more as babbling.
>>242869 >Still, you can hear it has a positive tone to it, so you decide to continue. >The backplate is a bit thicker, so you can turn the RPM up. >You start by slowly lowering it on the chassis. >This causes Y to stop her inaudible chatter and resume moaning. >Then you press the buffer hard against the surface. >Y jolts for a second. >You start moving the tool around. >Y reacts to your every move, twisting her body so that it follows the path of the buffer. >She stops a second before you turn the buffer off. >Once you do and you finally consider your work done, you look with satisfaction at Y’s shiny, polished chassis. >Y herself is rather unresponsive. >Once you flip her over, you see she’s in another boot loop. >Maybe you went a bit too fast. >You look at the clock to see that you, in fact, did not finish work early today. >In fact, you will be late for dinner soon. >You carry Y to her charging bay and say farewell to the rest of the squad. >You’re damn tired and hungry. >You fix the first problem at the mess hall. >The meal this time is beef with spinach. >Spinach again—weird, maybe it's just easy to grow on this planet? >You sit down with the same people you ate with in the morning. >They look even worse than they did earlier. >You engage in small talk again. >Particularly about that shower alternative. >You’re beat and don’t look forward to freezing water hitting your body. >Once you mention this, everyone around you starts to choke on their food. >A grunt sitting next to you grabs you by the shoulders. >“Listen Anon, you will learn in your time, and when you do, you will want to go back to not knowing.” >He looks absolutely dead serious. >They are still hazing you. >Whatever, they can pull your leg all they want—it’s not going to come off. >You’re not a drone. >You finish dinner and head to the showers. >This is gonna fucking suck. >You see something weird in the changing room though. >Everyone has a really fucked up rash on their neck. >Like going from the head to the base of the neck. >And it’s bright red. >You decide not to ask any questions. >You endure your cold shower and return to your room. >You look at your door. >They said something about not locking. >Yeah, sure—so they can pull a prank on you while you sleep. >You lock the door. >Pfft, good luck putting your hand in a bowl of water now. >You go to sleep. >Once again, you have the dream with the warm object. >You can’t complain—it’s a nice dream. >Suddenly, you hear a crashing sound. >This doesn’t wake you, but you attempt to move to your side. >Although, for some reason, you can’t. >Now you hear hissing and growling. >You begin to wake. >The hissing and growling stops. >Slumber engulfs you again. >You start hearing muffled voices. >Two female ones, you’re sure. >They are getting louder and louder. >You wake up. >You see your room in a similar state as yesterday. >Blankets on the floor. >Door open. >WHAT?! >You closed it! >You look around the room. >The vent cover on your roof is gone. >It’s laying on the floor. >So that was that crash. >You must admit—the fuckers are really determined to screw with you. >You lock your door again and go back to sleep. >You’ll reattach the vent cover tomorrow.

>Everyone says that all humans are dead. >This is patently untrue, not just because of all the satellite planets and research stations or what have you that still have a few surviving humans. >There is, in fact, at least one human on Earth that is still alive. >One place that even Cyn deemed was "unfun" to try and take. >I am of course speaking of the one man who was truly "built different." >The Florida man.

>Iridium 6 was an ugly rock >Smaller than Pluto back in Sol system, but similarly co-orbiting another planetoid. The first sign of trouble came when all of the workers in the colony simultaneously shut down, a week later the tidally locked face of the partner moon Iridium 6-b "hatched". >Megatons of half melted rock and slag peeled away and ruptured to reveal the city-sized Solver monstrosity which had apparently been gestating under the crust. >The USFN was putting up a valiant fight. Of course they'd lose eventually, but the delay would buy time to evacuate Iridium 6...of it's precious metal resources, vital corporate research and personnel. >The colonists themselves who worked shoulder to servo with more than 100,000 drones had already been written off. >The colony's only spaceport and the JCJenson administrative and research complexes had blown up the tube transports connecting them to the strip mine and residential complexes, stranding more than 10,000 colonists before sending out a priority distress call. >That call had been received almost instantaneously by hypercomm, but it took more than a week to divert the retrofitted cargo ship-turned-carrier "Cannae" from a mission originally intended to extract personnel and organic materials from a neighboring system, the sudden reversion from C+ drive, course change and emergency jump back to C+ had taxed the ship's civilian frame and powerplants beyond their limits. >The ship reverted back to subluminal speeds at the edge of the Iridium-6 planetary systems gravity well missing several antenna and sensor masts and with portions of her hull glowing cherry red from the way her unstable C+ drive had allowed almost infinitely small fractions of normal space to make contact. A really measurable contact with real space in C+ drive would have instantly turned the ship and all of it's thousands of passengers into the smallest, brightest local supernova.
>"Damn...we going back for the agricultural colony after this, right? I thought they were in some pretty bad trouble?" >None of the other liquidators answered right away >Rookies were always like this, usually the first one or two missions tops would erase that kind of innocence assuming they lived >"The dome farmers are screwed, kid. This system is screwed too. We're here to pull some big-wigs and a whole shitload of metal out of this colony, as much as the 'Cannie can cram into the cargo holds before real warship arrives in system with a pair of live vacuum-bombs and deletes these rocks from existence." >"Get used to it, and take...this" >One of the bustling liquidators slapped a heavy piece of equipment into his hands "Strap up buddy!" >It was something like the hanging crotch protector of a bomb-suit, but it looked crude and almost hand-made >"What the hell is in this thing, ZirCrom?" >"Haha, you wish! You think they'd waste collapsed armor on us? It's good old fashioned quarter inch lead plate big guy. You're replacing the point guy, so you're humping the blazer. Some bright spark up the chain suggested they just strip all the shielding out of one of the light field cannons, chop the barrel down to a stump and give it to us assholes. If you live and want to have kids with the normal amount of limbs you'll wear the lead jock!" >The rookie weathered the ribbing, working mines his whole life had made him intimately familiar with hazing
>They all wore similar gear, minimally modified civilian industrial environment suits, with a mismatched assortment of whatever boots had magnetic grippers for zero gravity work, protective vacuum tight gloves, and whatever headware could be scraped together. He saw an odd mix of hazmat gear, a few of the more robust military helmets, and a large number of the civilian fishbowls often with what looked like crude user modifications. >The blazer looked more like a heavily used industrial tool than one of the USFs newest, sleekest toys. The casing had indeed been almost entirely removed, bulky, dangerous looking capacitors in the back, some kind of spherical mechanism in the center mostly hidden under a mass of fins and fat cooling pipes all of it terminating in a stubby barrel assembly as thick around as his thigh with a wide bell shaped nozzle. Just behind that a flat, heavy plate of steel had been welded on. It was all connected to an equally heavy backpack generator by a loop of intestine-like thick rubber power cables which were held together with metal strip ties instead of some kind of more elegant cable sleeve. >He hefted the ungainly death brick, which had a forward carry handle and rearward trigger grip very similar to a portable mining laser...in fact, they were the same controls. >Most of the rest of his fellows carried some kind of portable incinerator, he saw half a dozen different brands or classes >"Does this thing have some kinda...sight?" >"Three rules new guy, real simple, follow them and you'll stay alive. Anything that isn't us, or is us but starts actin' weird, any corpos or colonists and especially any drones you see, shoot 'em. Ask questions never, those things out there play tricks with holograms and the longer they dig in the smarter and better at it they get. Rule two, don't ever point that thing in our direction, you're up front 'cause the heat bloom from that plasma shotgun will kill someone if you fire it past them in a confined space. You flag us with that shit and somebody'll probably shoot you. Rule three, shoot high, if you splash the ground right infront of you with that monster your legs'll probably melt and if we get into the shit nobody is gonna' drag you." >"I uhh-" >"Cool, good to know you're up to speed, now move your ass, we're shuttling down in five"

Do you want to know why Harper misses Hawk so much? Because he was there for her when nobody else was. She felt lonely, being so far from a place that for her whole life she called home, in a body she didn't feel familiar with. Hawk helped her. He taught her to laugh again. To love again. To stand up and smile even in the face of adversity. To express her emotions. He named their daughter right before his last mission. The one that killed him.

Near-immediate sequel to >>221712, expanding on Lizzy's nemesis Rachel (and her husband, former(?) toxic masculinity artist Chad):
>Rachel drummed her fingers on her recliner's armrest. This was it. She was done running and hiding. Any minute now Jenna was going to come through that door, once again weeping wretchedly and cursing herself for thinking things would be different this time, and when that happened she was going to go up to her oil drinking monster daughter and hug her and comfort her and be her mother without any reservations for once. >Any minute now... >The sound of the big game-Outpost 5 versus those jerks at Outpost 6-came from her husband's man cave. ... >Jenna'd been gone well past when she normally would have returned home in tears. >"Oh Robo-God..." Rachel whimpered. Her nightmares of Jenna going missing because she was on a cannibalistic feeding frenzy faded away now that she was actually missing. The idea that Jenna could be hurt, gone from her thoughts since her core-her moist, squirming, fleshy core-was moved out of her infant body, had returned. All the half-remembered word of what Uzi Doorman had seen all those years ago flashed before her. Did someone stake Jenna? Was she kidnapped, her core locked up? Did someone eat her core? >"C'mon..." Rachel fumblingly pulled out her phone and went through her contacts list before finding her daughter's number. "Pickuppickuppickuppickuppickuppickup..." >On the last ring before the call would have gone to voicemail, Rachel got an answer: >"Heeey Mooom!~" >"Jenna?! Are you alright?!" >Jenna snickered, as did a slightly muffled voice in the background. "I'm in love!" >Rachel's hollow eyes filled back in-though the bags remained-as a smile crept up her face. "Honey... that's amazing! Who's the lucky boy?" >"Make it a surprise! Tell her it's gonna be a surprise!" the muffled voice away from the phone-the lucky boy in question?-said. Something about it seemed familiar, but Rachel couldn't put her finger on it. >"He's taking me home right now," Jenna said. "It's gonna be a surprise!~" >Rachel's smile dropped slightly. "Are you drunk?" >"We're just buzzed on a Friday night, Mom, it's fiiine!" >Rachel shook her head as her smile perked halfway back up. "Almost forgot you're a teenager. Just be back home soon..." >"Byeee!" >"Wait, ask her if she knows what Mrs. Hughes sti-" said the muffled voice in the back before Jenna hung up. >Rachel sighed with relief. Her daughter's not eating or disemboweling anyone, she finally got a date, and she just might have a boyfriend now. She closed her eyes, and let the sounds of the big game become soothing white noise. ... >A few minutes later, the front door slid open. Rachel sleepily opened her eyes, roused by the sound of the door, hard footsteps, muffled soft moans and Jenna saying "Robo-God, you're such a good kisser." >"Or neither of us have kissed before," her date snickered. Before Rachel could finish remembering where she heard his voice before, her eyes brought her the answer: >Standing in her home, princess carrying her daughter, was Mac Doorman. >"¡GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAA[...]" said the announcer of Cincovision Deportes. >"YYYYESSS! EAT IT, OUTPOST 6!" Chad boomed as the big game ended. >"Oh Robo-God..." Rachel muttered under the sounds from her husband's man cave, her fearful eyes fixed on Mac. >"[...]AAL!">While Chad was celebrating Outpost 5's victory over those Outpost 6 jerks, Mac deposited Jenna on the couch next to the entrance hallway and across from her mother's recliner, propping her back up on the armrest. Taking advantage of the space provided, Jenna's wings fell limply out of her upper back, as did a thin arm-more like a tentacle than an arm-tipped with a radially symmetrical three fingered claw that Rachel couldn't remember if she'd seen Jenna use before. >"Heya Coach!" Mac hollered, to be heard over the TV. "Heya Mrs. Sportsman!" he said as he got on the other side of the couch from his date. As he said his hellos, Jenna took her boots off and dropped them on the floor, before resting the metallic, vaguely chitinous pegs they concealed on Mac's lap. >"Hhhhey, Mac..." Rachel said as every fluid line in her body ran cold. Back at square one, she thought. Jenna had fallen for another vampire. Perhaps she should have seen that coming. They had the same sickness, they knew what the other was going through. >"Robo-God, it's warm in here," Jenna muttered, taking her outer top off. Rachel averted her eyes from the glowing spot on her daughter's chest, near the edge of her camisole. "Mac, you still got any...?" Mac took a canteen out of a coat pocket and passed it to her. "Thanks," she said as she poured the last of its contents down her throat hole before returning it to him. >And with how emotionally neglectful of a mother she'd been to Jenna for most of her life, her daughter probably saw nothing but upsides to getting closer to a family of other... monsters... >Rachel had never trusted N. No one trusted V except Lizzy and Thad-and her fellow monsters, but that goes without saying-but everyone trusted N but her. It was like she was the only one at school who remembered the almost twenty years he had them under siege, who cared about everyone they had all lost to him. Was she the only sane one there?! He's a Robo-Goddamn wolf everyone's insisting is a dog! And he has a son, another wolf in dog's clothing... >What if this relationship lasts? What would her grandkids be? "Even if they were to leave Europe, and inhabit the deserts of the new world, yet one of the first results of those sympathies for which the daemon thirsted would be children, and a race of devils would be propagated upon the earth, who might make the very existence of the species of man a condition precarious and full of terror," Rachel muttered. "Had I right, for my own benefit, to inflict this curse upon everlasting generations?" >"Honey, you're quoting Frankenstein again," Chad said. Rachel emerged from her fugue state to find him in the room with them. Mac was holding Jenna's organic hand. >"At least it's kinda on-topic this time," Jenna added. >"Sorry about that.." Rachel said, smoothing out the hem of her jacket. >"The kids just got done telling me about the date," Chad laughed. "Congrats to both you lovebirds, by the way." >Mac chuckled. "Jen... we just got back from our first date and your mom already wants grandkids..." >Rachel fumed.
>>243004 >"Oh! Ohohohoh! Just remembered: Mrs. Sportsman, is it true that you got called out by all the speakers at the funeral of that girl who ate the 3071 prom court so you started a smear campaign that Mrs. Hughes has immoral makeout sessions with her corpse?" Mac progressively cracked up as the sentence went on. >Rachel jolted out of the recliner. "Of course not. If Lizzy told you that, that's just more proof she's still-" >"She totally did," Chad said. "For both." Mac and Jenna cackled. >"Honeyyy~!" Rachel hissed through clenched teeth. "Not in front of the genocide robot~!" >Everyone else's faces fell at that. Rachel's eyes went hollow when she realized what she just said in front of the Doorman boy. >"What the shit, Mom..." Jenna muttered. >"I think I should go now," Mac said. He kissed Jenna on the cheek. "G'night Jen," he said, unsteadily rising from the couch. "G'night Coach," he said as he walked to the front door, "and g'night Jen's mom." The door hissed open. "Mac out," as he walked through the door. >It closed behind him. >A muffled "Also, bite me" came from the other side. >Rachel sighed. "Jenna..." >"Not talking to you, Mom." >"Jenna-Chad, honey, back me up here-when I was your age, we were all being hunted by-" >Jenna shot up as her wings and third arm retracted into her back and spun to face her parents. All eight of her eyes-two on her visor, five in the band on her head, one in her organic arm's shoulder-glared at her. "Mac never did any of that! He COULDN'T have done any of that, he's my age! Stop taking your- Dad, don't walk away from this- stop taking your issues out on him just because you're too scared of the ones who DID try to kill us all to say anything to them!" >Before Rachel could respond, her eyes locked onto the glowing spot just visible under Jenna's camisole. Her chest display, displaying the same error code it always has: >1001. The error code for "this robot is fucking dead". >If doubt over what Jenna is was ever possible, seeing that she's clinically dead would remove any left. >Rachel sighed. She went over to the couch and sat next to her daughter. "Look, I'm... I'm weak. I've been emotionally unavailable to you all your life. I've always been scared of everything, felt gaslit by almost everyone around me, and it got to the point where I was afraid my daughter was a time bomb waiting to go off just because she's..." Jenna was about to say something, but stopped herself. "Different." >"I know what Mac means to you. He gave you a chance because he's... he's also different. I can't make up for lost time, but I can be better to you going forward." Rachel held out her hand. "Can we shake on it?" She closed her eyes. >Jenna reached out with her normal drone hand before realizing that her mom hadn't extended that hand's opposite. >Jenna's organic hand had been everything Rachel expected it would be: warm, leathery, moist in a way drone components aren't, slightly squishy. Rachel opened her eyes. What she expected wasn't as bad as she thought. >Suddenly, Jenna hugged her mother. Then her third arm added itself to the hug. Then her wings. Rachel's urge to scream was quickly, violently beaten down by her urge to be a loving mother. She felt her daughter lay her head on her shoulder. The contact of Jenna's blunt, conical teeth against her was quickly followed by the little silicone that Jenna's jawless face could support spreading into a sort of partial smile. >"Apology accepted, Mom."
>>243023 >Tessa! TESSATESSATESSA! >I'm so [BI>G SAL3S NEAR YOU] to being [hyperlinkblocked] I can practically [tase that cool cool beverage] it! >I just need! >One! >More! >THING! >TESSA! I NEED THAT [S O U L]!

>>243052 >Demands that you address her by her LARP rank >Hat stays on in bed >Insists that you're going to be the bottom >Devises a "wargame" where you're her "prisoner of war" and she's going to have her way with you whether you like it or not >Tries to pounce on you >Bonks her screen against the headboard so hard it cracks when she does so >You're handcuffed to the bed so you can't even do anything while she spends the next 15 minutes clinging to you and sniffling >
>"Run! RUN!" >Boots frantically marched up the ramp to the curt sounds of tactical fire. >The whine of steel and gale wind winding up to match it as the damnable swarm rallied in hot pursuit of the evacuation team. >It had been too late to quell the rebellion and too late to quell the systemic infection of the central infonet. >The city had been overrun in hours.
>"Chief, activate the security barriers once we're inside!" >Swift as a cheetah, the head engineer managed to pull ahead into the hangar and begin tapping away at the console. >Whilst his comrades lay down shot after shot against harvesters desperate for material. But even trained plasma fire could only do so much for civilians. >Swipes and swoops saw mothers separated from children. Fathers sliced at the spine and left as paralysed pickings for later. >And a cowardly official or two push some more out of the way only to be turned into the next modern art piece. >"Chief!" >Soon enough the remaining survivors piled in just in time for the duratanium doors to block the feral drones advance within the closing sequence. >Just. >A private would lose his left foot but nothing a cauteriser couldn't fix.
>As luck would have it for the captain, his chief and the rest, a lone shuttle remained. >Piloting it to the nearest shockgate would be the final stretch. >"Check your surroundings and tend to any wounded before departure. Lieutenant, you're with me for flight checks and-" >*THUM!* >All guns searched for the origin of the angry disturbance. >*THUM!* >*THUM!* >It came from the direction of the fueling bay. Right behind their sole means of escape. >Quick command signals saw the lieutenant take point on a cautious march toward the source while the corralled civvies looked on fearfully in contrast to ET-57's stalwart focus. >... >Impregnable silence. >Briefly. >Hulking mass tore through the bulkhead and pulverised the bones of the soldier in a flash of blinding orange. His corpse impacting a wall with a sickening crunch. >"Open fire!" >Frankensteinian monstrosity rose from the flaming wreckage of salvation. A bipedal beast of bone and plasteel with skulls welded into a brutish club for one arm, and a sinewy meat stump for the other. Fused limbs protruded from its back and ribs, clawing at the jailer's tender spots to rend patches of skin into flakes. >It had no visage to speak of save the terrible faces of its organic and synthetic victims twisted into an array of masks that roared in garbled unison. >Frantic bolts scarred and melted away at any weakpoint as it charged undeterred by pain , if any, towards its quarry. --- >SECURITY RECORDINGS UPLOADED.... >DATABASE UPDATING.... >FINISHED. >NEW ENTRY: AMALGAM-TIER TECHNOABOMINATION DUBBED 'SKULLGHEIST' >THREAT LEVEL: 4/5 >RECCOMENDATIONS : HE WEAPONRY, SUSTAINED PLASMA BOLT FIRE OR BEAMS, CORROSIVE SLUGS AND ELECTROMAGENTIC INTERFERENCE.

>>243042 Oh dear lord, Anon. That's how they get you. I thought "oh this seems neat, not sure if it's for me though" and next thing I know I have to hold myself back from using fictional colloquialisms from it casually. It happened so fast, only a few gazes-- DAYS. Days. Only a few days did it take to permanently scar my vocabulary. IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.

"I am the mighty exalted Uzi Doorman, Supreme Empress of Copper 9, Solver of the End and your new goddess!" >"What happened to Cyn?" "Hello. I am right here Uzi-" >Uzi wrapped a strip of metal around Cyn's beak with telekinesis to shut her up "She was a weakling and I have consumed her! I am your goddess now!" >"How long ago did you eat her?" "Uh... >Uzi loosened the gag on Cyn's beak "As of now, eight months, seventeen days, four hours, thiry-eight minutes, and twelve seconds." >Uzi gagged Cyn again >"Why did you call us here?" "To announce my eternal reign of terror!" >"What are we gonna do now?" "You shall fulfill my every whim and worship me!" >"Can we eat the worker drones?" "NO!" >"Why not?" "Because I said so! No more questions! Obey me or suffer my wrath!" >One of the DDs opened his mouth to speak, so Uzi slapped him "I said no more questions! This meeting is-" >Uzi leaned to N and whispered "What do you call it when a meeting ends?" >N said "Uh, I think you say adjourned" >Uzi faced the crowd again "Yes, this meeting is adjourned! Go home now!" >A DD shouted "We don't have homes!" >So Uzi shouted back "Then make some! Christ, I'm not your mommy!" >And thus began Uzi's eternal reign of terror

Possibility is that her construct could function as antlertannae catching straysignals and radiowaves if she were to ever enter a more intact area or civilisation of sorts
I bought this drone for dirt cheap off craigslist, does anyone know what model this is? the picture was all blurry in the listing so I thought it was just a standard worker. maybe I should have called off the deal when we met up so close to mutietown... or when I saw how sketchy the pointy-nosed woman trying to pawn it off on me was acting...
>>243119 You know what? Sure, but remember you asked for it >>242870 >You wake up the next day. >You feel a bit tired, probably from all that waking up in the middle of the night. >You see that a piece of paper was slipped under your door. >“You have been chosen for a physical examination. Report to the infirmary at 0800 hours.” >Great, a surprise medical. >Whatever. Not like you smoked the devil’s lettuce. >Unlike some other people in bootcamp. >God bless Steve’s stoner heart. >Because it sure as hell stopped when he tried mixing weed with ketamine. >You go straight to the infirmary. >0800 hours is in like ten minutes. >And you hope you won’t spend too long there, otherwise you’ll miss breakfast. >You are greeted by two drones once you enter. >One Worker and one Disassembler. >Both have pink hair and pink screens. >The DD even has a pink nanite vial on her tail. >Both of the drones are wearing simple white fatigues and nurse hats. >“Good day, sir! What brings you to the infirmary today?” >You point to the piece of paper and explain you came here for the check-up. >“Very well, sir. Please go sit in that chair.” >Before you sit down, you ask why there’s a DD working as a nurse. >“Oh... uh, we have a bit of a history of rowdy patients.” >Rrright. >“Anyway sir, this is Serial Designation – ST. She will be drawing your blood, and I’m Heals… >Healena. I’ll be collecting your saliva sample.” >Once you sit down, ST sits on your lap. >Uhhhh, what is she doing? >“Oh, ST was modified to be able to collect blood samples using her mouth. Don’t worry, it’s... mostly painless, and maybe even hygienic.” >But why is she getting closer to your face? >Last time you were having your blood drawn, it was from the arm and... >Oh. >She bit right into your neck. >And you can feel her slowly sucking. >Ouch. This does hurt. >They didn't even give you an analgesic. >Healena comes up to you with an open container in one hand. >“Please fill it out.” >You spit into the container once and pull away. >“Until it’s full, sir.” >What? >That is at least a 50 ml container. >You’ll dry up before you even get to half that. >“Don’t worry, sir! If you can’t anymore, I’ll give you water. This will also help with getting the urine sample.” >Well, who are you to question your practitioner? >You slowly fill out the container while ST continues to suck you. >She either does it very slowly, or they take jumbo-sized samples of everyting >Once you move on to the urine test, you realize it’s the latter. >That container can hold at least a liter. >Well, you did drink the contents of three water bottles in the last ten minutes. >You ask if there’s some curtain you can do this behind. >“Sorry, sir, but we have to watch you fill it out.” >You protest this. No way in hell are they gonna watch while you do this. >“Sorry, sir, but it’s procedure. We have to.” >Well fuck, procedure is procedure. >You sigh and unzip your pants. >You begin to fill the container. >Both Healena and ST watch from an uncomfortably close distance. >Healena is taking notes during the whole ordeal. >You are extreamly uncomfortable, the two drones watch you like a jerrycan filled with oil. >You close your eyes and hope that this will end soon. >You swear you can feel ST breathing on you down there. >You can also swear she had a recording icon on her screen when you started. >Alright, done, you zip up your pants and begin the process of repressing these memories. >You also feel incredibly weak on account of your lost blood. >“Please lay down on that bed while we get your results.” >Oh yeah, lying down feels like a great idea. >They leave your field of view and you doze off for a while. >You are awakened by someone shaking you by the shoulders. >“Hey, you. You’re finally awake...” >You see a rather big man with blonde hair and blue eyes. >He is wearing a lab coat. >“...What the hell are you doing in the infirmary?” >You explain that you just got your medical check-up done. >“What medical check-up? We’ve had none scheduled for today, and Megan and I just got here.” >He gestures to a drone in a nurse’s outfit. >But what about the two pink nurses? >“W-what pink nurses? Megan is the only nurse we’ve got. Who even are you?” >Then who took your fluid samples? >Oh, and you’re Private A.C.O Anon. >“Another technician... Oh no no no, this is another ploy to steal some more painkillers, isn’t it?” >“Listen, I know you guys have it tough, but this is really not a solution. Just get out of here before I report you.” >Confused, you leave the infirmary.
>Anon wasn't entirely ready to learn this latest fact about his assigned sentinel drone. >Pavo, sharply-dressed and heartlessly professional, was a quickshot. >Anon had, of course, learned this when he'd finally dropped all pretense and tied the knot with him. >Every time his dick rubbed Pavo's synthetic prostate, his adapter would twitch and launch a rope of cum. >After the first nearly hit Anon in the face, he'd pinned the thing down and let it paint Pavo's stomach white. >Each mini-orgasm drove Anon a bit more wild, the sight and sounds entirely too enticing, and every time he thrusted deeper and harder, Pavo's moans rose steadily as he reached an even higher crescendo. >It all came to a head when Pavo was pushed beyond his limits, his legs kicking out wildly as a final orgasm shot with such strength as to hit him in the face, and the next few spurts went even further, nailing an innocent wall in the crossfire. >Pavo's pupils flashed to hearts, before his display was filled with blue artifacts and shut off entirely, a reboot icon appearing as his body went limp. >Anon stops for a moment... he wasn't done, miraculously holding on despite the fact that the sentinel's internals were just as masterfully crafted as his exterior was. >Pavo HAD said that he wanted to be ruined before they started... >Flipping him prone, Anon starts up again, this time motivated entirely by getting himself off. >Pavo slowly reboots, coming back to his senses, only to seize up again as he feels Anon continue to ram him with no remorse for his current state. >Still in the process of booting, he could barely move, only feel, and definitely not think coherently. Anon's dick thrusting into his ass over and over made up the entirety of his current reality. >He was a state-of-the-art warmachine, humanity's finest protector, and right now he was being used like a disposable sleeve by his beloved technician. >It was all he had ever hoped for. >Anon's thrusting started to become erratic, slowing with every push, his dick starting to twitch. >Pavo's HUD started blinking out just as soon as it had loaded in, the information on it being replaced with an endless slide of "YES"es and "PLEASE"s. >When he finally felt Anon bury himself deep, felt that heat gushing into him, the sensation was so overbearing as to be transcendent. >It was as if a flame had lit in his core, his innermost being burning with the passion he felt. >Everything left in his adapter's tanks poured onto the floor, just as Anon poured his own into Pavo. >He barely remembers what happened after that. Anon turning the sprinkler system on and letting their mess wash away, them taking a shower together and Anon attempting to scrub him clean as he kept trying to cuddle, then them falling asleep in each other's arms. >Most of all, he remembers the smile on Anon's face. Spent and exhausted, but tender and loving, free from the mask he'd worn for so long.

>>233676 >She just looks at you while swinging her somewhat fidgety legs back and forth, the rain drowning out any other noise besides the little shifts of fabric her movements made, along with the tapping of her heels against the rock. She seems to be deep in thought, or at least deep in thought by the standards of what is clearly a child. >"My name is Sophie, what's yours?" >That's a question you've had for a while now. The guys back on Titan never named you, and the first time you were addressed with something besides "You" was fairly recent. One of them, the lead scientist, said "Assistant, help me carry this fuel rod." You never spoke to him that often, so maybe that was just his name for you and you never knew that. Oh well. Assistant isn't a bad name, but it's a bit of a mouthful and you can't think of a way to shorten it without making it sound weird. Shrugging, you just say that they called you "Assistant" where you came from, but that Sophie's mother calls you "Lil' Buddy." Sophie places a finger to her chin and seems to be thinking. >"They are BOTH good!" >Guess she has a similar sentiment. Undecided, just from a different perspective. Oh well. You'll figure that naming thing out later. There's roughly a minute of silence before an idea hits you. You turn to Sophie and ask her why she's here. >"I went outside and I was thinking 'How am I going to get there?' and then I said 'Here's a way!' And then I walked over to here!" >Alright she's clearly a bit obtuse, which is probably to be expected from children, so that's not really something you can ask her. Especially considering you don't know her that well. You continue to sit there in silence, closing your eyes and just listening to the white noise of rain. You've never experienced rain before you got here, and it's a sensation you still want to grasp the totality of. Your eyes snap open when you hear plastic crinkling from Sophie. She just opened a bag that says "Drone-0s," and is just munching away at whatever's in there. She notices you looking at her, to which she offers you one of what you're presuming are snacks. You take a hold of the ring-like item and pop it in your mouth. It's a taste that, while not overwhelming, is pretty new to you. In fact most tastes are new to you. But if you were human the best description of the taste would be "Oaty." >Sophie then pulls out what looks like a fold out laptop but thicker. She then starts quietly watching something on it. It seems to be a children's program. Practical effects, mainly. You think that's a train, but it has a face on it. Kinda creepy but hey, kids like it you suppose. 5/??

Beginning transfer attempt 144, is the modified worker drone body ready? >The sounds of a cart being wheeled into the testing chamber, which is then sealed is recorded >Dr.anon: alright, beginning transfer. Oh right I'm being recorded, the goal of this experiment is to see if we can transfer the cores of dangerous and criminally malicious disassembly drones into relatively harmless worker drone bodies for easier imprisonment and rehabilitation. >Core: oh I can't wait for this to fail, when I get back up the first thing I'm gonna do is strangle you with your own guts! >Dr.Anon is heard prodding the core with a cattle prod >Dr.Anon: Core is now sedated, beginning transfer. >Dr.Anon spends over an hour meticulously connecting the core into it's new body >Dr.Anon: okay, the transfer is complete. I removed the repair nanite clusters from the core, the core shouldn't be able to convert this body into a disassembly drone. Probably. Hopefully. Unseal the chamber I don't want to be in here when this thing wakes up. >The chamber is unsealed and Dr.Anon leaves, resealing the chamber behind him >The following footage will show the results of the test >The worker drone body comes online after an hour >The drones optics come online and it starts looking around and started smirking >The drone is seen thrashing in its restraints and it's smirk falls >The drone soends the next few hours thrashing around and swearing >After another three hours no bodily conversations have been observed >The test subject will be under observation for quite some time, hopefully the operation was a success
>>243182 they should consider keeping criminal DDs as cores during early stages, then after counseling and therapy if they begin to show promise they should be selected to test the rehab bodies on the condition they keep up the good behavior. also they probably shouldn't use unmodded WDs. they might not be as lethal as DDs but they're still mining equipment that could compress you into a 6 inch cube if they wanted

>>243202 If any remnant of Tessa's consciousness is left it might have been jarred loose during the finale. Thing is, no one on the planet will really know her other than the DD trio, even Uzi only caught a glimpse of who she was in E5. So most drones are going to know the ghost as this inexplicable human figure that is either horribly traumatized and sits there weeping uncontrollaby for no reason or as this presence you see for a split second before it screams and flees as soon as it sees a drone.
I've been watching two teen worker drones sit next to each other giggling and occasionally saying "among us" every few minutes. This has been going on all morning. I'm wondering if I might need to put them down.

>>243243 I remember long ago we tossed around the idea that, with how variable worker drone personalities can be, there must have been one or two DD"s who knowingly and willingly offered themselves up to the Solver as servants just to get some revenge on humanity for treating them so god-fucking-awfully.
>>243293 Just because you can get up and walk around with drone wife hanging off of it doesn't mean that you can go to work like that. Plus it stretches all my shirts.

Even after a thousand years of supposed technological evolution: >Citys are built the same >Cars look like they are from the 90s (Some vehicles are sentient for some reason, ill give em that) >Tech looks like its from the 90's >Basically anything Not immediately related to drones is about 1-2 generations older then modern day equipment. >We have yet to see a human spaceship, or anything indicating human space travel besides the fact they have several occupied systems.
At this point I wouldn't not be surprised if drones where never a human invention in the first place, for all we know they could've just popped into existence one day and humanity just rolled with it.
>>243313 those feel like they are in the same boat, so alien compared to everything else human made that it might be human made at all for what we know, specifically if its the seems to be the solvers primary mode of transport.
>>243312 I lean towards stagnation after drones were created, society no longer needed innovation to grow forever. That, or studies were conducted and it was objectively proven that the 90s were actually that good and it wasn't just nostalgia, so aesthetics were locked to that era in a soulless attempt to recapture the alleged magic of that decade.
>>243324 >Slap dash lemonade stands pop up on your lawn >WD and MD Js alike are trying to sell "lemonade" of dubious sources for random prices >You're pretty sure the MD ones are just milking their stingers for it, and you don't wanna know how the WD ones got theirs >You bring out the hose from the back yard and start hosing the little "entrepreneurs" down to chase them off your property
>>243322 I am having a great amount of joy doing this :) You would not say a word if it was the other way around >>243323 So... Heavy pranksters or god awful dictators? >>243327 Brain is too rotted, rn I have on the list >4 private 50+ bucks comms >10 page comic + bonus art of a thing I wrote a while ago... and then comes the N-ugget, I do have PLANS for that one, specifically
>Be me >Come to /co/ >See The Gaslight District thread >"Wow, it's popular." >Come to it >The entire thread is dedicated to drama What the fuck? 4chan isn't fucking Twitter, why is there always so much drama?
>>243355 >Enter the webiste dedicated to twitter screencap threads >Be surpised its full of twitter tier drama What did you expect? Now stop whining about 4cucks and post drones
>>243355 >why is there always so much drama? Because modern 4chan LOVES it. Ignore Shitflingers and they'll find a way to get your attention. Negativity thrives there, and what brings negativity more than Drama?
>>243317 NTA but to be 100% honest, that's the biggest part of lore that I just flat out ignore. There's no rhyme or reason to the design style of the human areas of the show because they were just reused assets from Glitch's existing library, Tessa is shaped like a normal Vickers character and then every other human has a generic realistic stock-model look, it's all completely incoherent. When I imagine a coherent artstyle for the world it lands somewhere weirdly between Buck Rogers and Aliens. It's clear that the intended look for the assets they did actually make is a pretty heavy, clunky, corporate industrial style, but you have some anachronism as well like Tessa's environment suit basically just being a skin tight body glove with a big old bubble helmet. I can accept the bulkier CRT-like displays as a concession to the need to make everything in a long haul spaceship or colony almost indestructibly durable for the rigors of whatever environment it gets thrown into, bleeding subtly over into higher and higher tech with a sleeker design as you move up the social ladder. I can also totally accept the idea of wealthy corporate oligarchs who can buy and trash thousands of drones throwing faux victorian LARP parties the same way fraternities and rich people "secret" societies of the current day adorn themselves with greek and roman symbology from our own distant past. To the people of 3050+ the early enlightenment era through modern era would seem to them like the Roman Empire seems now to us.
>>243374 >>243375 Some artits stylize so severely that their drones grow actual prnounced snouts Pic rel isn't what I mean but it is also weirdly longfaced but in a hot way
Lets say, hypothetically, for the sake of an argument, that a Sentinel drone drags you by your hand to a broom colset, locks the door behind you two and then punces on you and tongue kisses you so that you cannot cry for help
>>243387 >Finally done with my uni exams I still have two more weeks of suffering in front of me, and I WILL write greens instead of going to bed early
>>243390 Funny thing — due to some masterstroke in scheduling, I write my last retake this Sunday, which I didn’t even know was possible, because weekends are usually when part-time students have their courses. Somehow, one subject — for whatever reason — has its first term next week, and then the two retake terms a week after that
>>243405 don't have to worry getting pounced on unless you're techanon. though I guess you could get blasted while he was polishing his elephant gun iykwim
>Be (you) >Be asked to watch the neighbour's kids. >Accept. >Place the little buggers in their cradles in your living room since you don't think a bowling ball and bowling pin with faces can really do much on their own. >Come back to see they're gone after grabbing K-Oil from the fridge >Panic. >Suddenly hear whirring sounds coming from your workshop. >Rush in to see this: Crushing bowling ball and pin with hydraulic press >Holyshithedead.mp4 >.... >Turn off the press and sweep the remains into the trash. >Flop on to couch and process the utter travesty that happened (though you're not sure if it really counts since you know...sports equipment.) >tfw you're not getting paid but at least the rest of the evening is free.
>>243412 >Have a hydraulic press for drone cbt >The neighbours decide that the local dungeon master is the best babysitter they can find They did this to themselves
I'd be scared as hell and then tired as hell plus a couple of broken bones certainly wouldn't help my mood for the next month.
But the worst thing will be that this drone will not receive any punishment, I will simply be told that I should be grateful to her for fighting against the Devil and saving my life, and most likely I will even agree.
>>243388 >>243392 >SD!Strychnine drags you off into the janitorial closet because of how horny she is >"We're gonna keep going until I've drained everything from you!" >The strength of her anatomy adapter almost rips your dick off and you lost count how many times you nutted in her
>After the whole fiasco few days later, turns out you got her pregnant >Regulations mandate that the two of you are now married and she moves in with you >Turns out that all of the scary things you heard about her aren't true. Mostly. >She's actually a pretty nice drone. She cooks good food, she cleans and is generally great company >She's also a great mom doting and playing with your pillbaby >The one time her old persona comes around is in bed when she fucks you for hours on end
>>243415 >fundamentally are all the same internally wise Well, that depends on what exactly drone hormones are, since Uzi mentions that she's generally hormonal.
>>243429 Drone "hormones" seem like they could be a humanization of whatever random bits of code outside of their core logical systems contribute to their emotional states, what with their human larp and all. WD's weren't intended to be sentient with personalities out of the box, that's a product of weird shit going on when a zombie drone happens or when the AI is left to it's own devices for a long time. There's no way it's a clean and streamlined process, there must be lots of vestigial and non-essential programming floating around in them.
>>243435 What sort of drone are you going to use as a bed? Are you going to have drones holding stuff in thier hands as shelves? How are you going to maintain them all? Are you ready for the electricty bill? What if the dinning table drones gets bored?
I'm just going to buy a team of drones to run from room to room with me, since I mean the furniture is just wasted money if I'm not there anyway. So as long as I don't lounge in my bedroom for a week they won't get bored. As far as electricity goes I was planning on just getting one of those workout bikes and hooking it up to a generator for one of the drones to use. That way they pay for themselves!
>>243433 Never understood the idea the drones are "LARPing as humans". It's not like they have any other reference points for what a society should look like.
>>243445 They're described as adaptive AI and the characters all pretty much fit into stock media stereotypes >The friendly jock >The mouthy queen bee cheerleader >The friendless hot topic emo kid >The stoner >The absentee father >The person who uses fandom as their whole personality They organize themselves into family units instead of anything else, they communicate in human languages instead of machine languages, there's not much really machine-like about them even though the AI has been left unshackled for who knows how long at this point.

>>243457 doomerist anon being a clingy fag again god forbid someone doesn't post for a week must be because they hate us and are dead and we must all cry and moan and be sad at eachother because that will surely bring people back god how many times
>>243472 idiot, he obviously said patronize DDs right now. tell them how well they do every little thing and give them uppies and tell them they're just cute as a button
>>243474 Well, J is already going to be the mother of my children, so I guess I can praise her for being a hard worker and I'm sure she will be a great parent
>>243417 First, fuck you. >>243418 Second, fuck you too. >>243419 В третьих, пашёл нахуй, как часть Русского мира, я ближе к ней духовно, чем ты, сука! Она моя!
I fucked you all and then took you to the movies, faggots!

>>243122 >As you make your way to the canteen you have a certain feeling in your head >That you may have rushed headfirst into something you shouldn’t have done >Oh well, no use crying over spilled milk >And you’re sure that this whole situation with the doctor will sort itself out >You enter the mess hall ready to see what they cooked up for dinner today >Oh wow, it's rather crowded in here today >There are a bunch of Sentinels, Disassemblers, and Grunts running around >For some reason, every human is standing at attention as if it was... >EMERGENCY MUSTER >Fuck >You fall in line just as they begin taking the headcount >One person short >The doctor you’ve just seen in the infirmary >Two Grunt drones get immediately sent to fetch him >In the meantime, the commanding officer of the base calls attention >You puff out your chest, shoulders pulled back, spine straight as a rod >Your heels click together, toes slightly apart, arms pinned tightly to your sides with fingers curled naturally >Chin up, eyes forward >The officer begins to speak >“Men and Women of the northern polar garrison of Iodine-6, as of 0600 hours today, we have >confirmation of intruders on the base premises…” >Oh fuck, that’s bad >The officer pulls out some sort of remote and fiddles with it >The room darkens and a projector behind him begins displaying images on the wall >“The intruders, well-known recidivist drones...” >He displays the mugshots of two drones >Two pink-eyed, pink-haired drones >ST and Healena >You start to feel faint >“…their crimes include but are not limited to: Assault, Sexual Assault, the sale of Human Bodily Fluids on the black market, and Public Indecency...” >The sale of what now where >“...Extensive review of our surveillance footage shows these two managed to sneak aboard a Union supply barge which resupplied us two days ago. Our last confirmed contact with them is today at 0530 hours, when the intruders attempted to break into our water treatment facility in order to poison our water supply…” >He takes out some weird bag of pink heart-shaped pills >“…we do not yet know what is the true goal of these interlopers. If any of you have any information on their whereabouts, come forth with them immediately” >You don’t just feel faint, you feel like all color has drained from your face >You feel like a piece of paper thrown into a washing machine, about to be torn apart and reduced to wet slag >You take a deep breath >You look around yourself >The doctor has been escorted by the Grunts and is being brought up to speed >You see Y and her squad, they’re talking with another DD and occasionally glance at you >You see Elena. From what you gather, she’s giving orders to a squad of Grunt drones >You know what you have to do >But you don’t know if you have the strength to do it >You take another deep breath >No, you’re a soldier >You have to do it >You raise your hand >The room grows silent >The officer sees you and turns to you >“Yes soldier? What do you want” >Alright, just tell him Anon, you have to >You start by reciting what you learned in boot camp: “I’m Private A.C.O Anon. I have made contact with the India Victors (Intruder Vectors) at around 0800 hours today” >Everyone looks at you, shocked >In part because you sound like you just left your code word class at boot camp >But mostly because they didn’t expect anyone to have information >“Excellent, soldier. When and what were they doing” >Ah fuck >Now comes the hard part >Y, Phi, Theta, Delta, and Elena look at you with great concern >Elena even drops whatever she was doing with the Grunts and starts walking toward you >You bueno in pain for a moment before starting to speak again >You tell everything to the officer and, by proxy, everyone else in the room >You tell him about the paper >About going to the infirmary >About the intruders disguised as nurses >About the blood >About the spit >You try to stop yourself at this point
>>243528 >But you are a good soldier, still fresh from boot camp >And so you tell him about the fucking piss jar >Everyone in the room is stunned >Y and the squad, alongside Elena, look incredibly mad >Like actually close-to-spontaneously-combusting mad >You can hear their core temperatures rising from the sound of fans whirling >The doctor comes up to you and the officer >“Sir, I can confirm that he was in fact at the infirmary around this time, and he did in fact mention two pink-haired drones” >The officer is at a loss for words >After a while, he puts his hand on your shoulder >“Son, I’m terribly sorry. Your sacrifice will not go in vain” >He then quickly moves away from you and resumes his speech >“You’ve heard what he said, men. These rose-flavored hooker bots think they can play with us, huh—bullshit! We outnumber them 30 to 1. WE are not stuck in a facility with thirsting robots, THEY are stuck in here with US” >“And so, there is no need to panic. Each and every one of you is expected to go about their duties as usual. Dismissed” >That’s it >You stand at ease and the muster line breaks >The drones under your care, plus a certain requisition officer, rush toward you >“ANON! ARE YOU ALRIGHT! DID THEY TORTURE YOU!? THEY MUST HAVE TORTURED YOU! HOW MANY FINGERNAILS ARE YOU MISSING” >You try to explain to Elena that they did not in fact torture you >“He is speaking nonsense! Zey must have drugged him!” >No Y, you weren’t drugged >Y and her squad don’t believe that >“Anon quick! How many fingers am I showing” >You are showing three of your fingers, Delta >Your attempts to calm them down are futile >Before they ask if they performed MK Ultra-tier brainwashing on you, someone calls all the present drones to attention >It's the commanding officer’s secretary >A Sentinel drone >She begins addressing the drones >“Drone defenders of Iodine-6, my brothers and sisters, for many years we lived in this polar garrison, prosperous and ever stalwart for threats coming from the sky. But today, an enemy comes to us not with force, not in frontal assault. No—the enemy crawled in stealth and cowardice. They infiltrated our ranks. They sucked the very blood from our humans. They filmed their depravity for profit. NO MORE I SAY. NO MORE THIEVES, NO BULGARS STEALING WHAT IS OURS. HEAR ME, ALL DRONES OF THE GARRISON. RAISE YOUR ARMS TO DEFEND YOUR HOME. RAISE UP YOUR ARMS TO DEFEND OUR HUMANS” >“We outnumber the humans in the garrison 16.666666667 to 1. We will be able to protect every single human in the base and then some. And to that end: All worker drones will be issued emergency sidearms. All Grunt drones have full unrestricted access to the armory. All Disassemblers and Sentinels; all weapons free, fire at will. WE WILL FIND THESE SORRY BUCKETS OF RUSTED BOLTS AND MAKE THEM WISH THEY NEVER CRAWLED OUT OF THEIR MOTHER FACTORY’S PRODUCTION LINE” >“FOR IODINE-6. FOR THE UNION” >You can hear EVERY SINGLE DRONE in the base shout in unison >“FOR IODINE-6. FOR THE UNION” >Well, that speech was… more pompous, that’s for sure >Most of the drones begin to leave the room >Neat, so uhh, your orders are to proceed as normal >To that end, you try to gather up Y and her squad so that you can run diagnostics on them >Phi disagrees >“Sorry Anon, but you heard that speech. No way we won’t join the hunt for these two” >You won’t be able to do your job this way >Maybe Y can talk some sense into them >“Zis fucking pink-eyed bitch. One—just one zing I manage to call dibs on before anyone else—and she swipes it from under my nose” >Before you even attempt to calm her down, she runs out of the room, sword and gun drawn >Delta joins the conversation >“Anon, we’ll rendezvous with you once we catch those pinkies” >Phi nods in approval >“Yeah, we’ll catch up with you once we make them choke on their own cores” >The rest of squad Y follows their leader and runs out of the mess hall brandishing their weapons >Great, what now? Just sit around an empty service bay >Elena, who was in the meantime approached by the CO’s secretary and a few other Sentinels, parts ways with them and turns to you
>>243529 >“Anon! Can I walk you to your workstation? You know, just to be safe. We most likely have vent crawlers. Wouldn’t want that pink wench jumping out at you” >You don’t find a reason to say no. Some extra safety may be nice in this situation >“But first you need to eat breakfast. You look weak” >You forgot why you even came here in the first place >You go get your food >Bacon and eggs this >You also get some pills with your food >Blood production supplements >Oh, the cooks probably heard about how you got your blood stolen >How considerate of them >You move to sit at a nearby table. The soldiers you usually sit with aren’t here >Elena follows behind you, shadowing your every move >You sit down and she sits next to you >You start to eat but Elena rips the fork from your hand >You look at her questioningly >“Anon, you lost a lot of blood. You should not exert yourself. Let me help you” >She puts some of the food on the fork and raises it to your mouth >You try to assure her that you can hold a fork yourself but she stuffs your mouth as soon as you >open it
>You try again, blocking the fork with your hand this time >”W-what’s the matter Anon? Is it too hot?” >The food is fine, it’s just that you are a grown man who doesn’t need to be fed >”But what if you eat too fast and choke? Accidents happen to everyone!” >You can see you’re not getting through with this >You acquiesce and let Elena feed you >It’s probably her way of showing she’s worried about you >You’d also be worried if someone you know went through >…Certain things that happened to you today >But you’re totally fine >This thing in the infirmary? >It had no effect on you >Nope, not at all >You finish the food and take the pills >You and Elena go to the service station >She insists you hold hands the whole way so as to not get separated >On your way to the service bay you see that all drones of the garrison mobilized to try and find the intruders >You can see at least one grunt squad at each intersection >DDs are audibly crawling through the vents >Sentinels check every closet and semi-empty room >Even the workers who have been given pistols examine every barrel, crate and container for hiding intruders, even if there’s no way to fit in there >You finally reach the service bay >Elena enters behind you >You ask if she shouldn’t be overseeing storage >”Oh, I asked a disassembly drone to take over for me today, don’t remember his name, red screen, long braided hair, wore a sweater under his uniform” >And he just agreed to that? >”Yeah, after I told him that I would tear his head off and restock the shelves with what’s left of his corpse he agreed rather quickly, what a helpful fella” >That’s not what you expected to hear >Still, what does she intend to do now? >”Make sure you are safe! By doing things like checking that broom closet in the back of the room, say why don’t we go check it out now?” >She takes your hand again and drags you to the closet door >Hold on now, why does she need you to enter that closet with her >Before you can raise your question Elena throws you inside the closet >She then enters the closet herself and closes the door behind her >Wait a second >Elena is starting to slowly move toward you >WAIT A SECOND >She begins to outstretch her arms >You think you’ve seen this before in a por— >She lunges at you with a hug >You both fall to the ground >Panicked, you try to ask Elena what the hell she is doing >But you are quickly silenced by her mouth meeting yours >Your yells turn to muffled grunts >Once you stop she pulls away and covers your mouth with her hand >You are extremely fucking panicked and try to wiggle out from under her >Your struggling is futile >In your panic you barely notice Elena’s screen stop displaying her eyes and switch to plain text >”Anon, I’m sorry please calm down” >You try to free yourself for a while longer but eventually stop and focus on her screen >”Sorry, but I had to do this, we don’t know if they’re listening or not, the enemy is probably crawling through the vents, blink twice if you understand”
>>243531 >You take a moment to process this and blink twice >”Great, we’ve got a mission from the CO’s secretary, we have to set up audio probes around the facility” >You nod your head >Elena gives you a smile and slowly takes her hand off your face >You stand up >You can feel that your face is red as a beetroot >Elena is also blushing heavily >You both awkwardly stare at each other >Elena breaks the silence first >”So, Anon maybe I can help you with setting up the diagnostic station for your squad?” >But what about those audi— >She grabs you and pulls you close to her chest >”What about finishing what we started here? Maybe later~” >She pulls away and darts her eyes between you and a nearby vent cover >Oh right >You leave the closet and move toward a small wheel cart with diagnostics equipment >How the hell are you meant to set this thing up again? >It’s at least three generations older than what you were trained on >And the connection pins are all weird >You manage to find the instruction manual >It’s faded but still readable >While you read the manual Elena starts fiddling with the machines >You reach the setup section of the booklet when Elena grabs your attention >”Oh no Anon! It looks like one of the… uh… diagnostics… thingamabobs is missing” >What? >Aged, sure, but not outright missing >You go to inspect the cart >You don’t reach it >Elena grabs your hand and starts leading you out of the room >”I think I know where we can find a replacement” >The situation in the corridors has changed a bit in the interim >You see a few of your fellow humans trying to go about their business >Each and every one of them is followed by a mishmash of workers, dissemblers, sentinels and grunts >They all move in a defensive formation around the humans >Whenever a human tries to enter a room one of the drones in their company breaks formation and begins corner-clearing the room >Then the rest (minus one drone who stays with the human) enter the room and perform a full sweep >This process lasts at least 5 minutes >As you take in the scene a group of grunt drones approaches Elena >”Requisition Officer Designation: Elena, your squad is at a suboptimal number of members as to the fulfillment of directive 8789-B, please rectify” >Apparently all drones who aren’t currently on the hunt for the intruders are on bodyguard duty >And this squad of grunts is looking for someone to guard, because all other humans are already followed by a group of ten or more drones >To your surprise Elena quickly agrees for them to tag along >”This could be fun! I haven’t led a kill team in a long time” >The drones form a circle around you >Elena takes point and leads this small group to a small storage closet >Squad Elena, as that’s what they’re technically called now, does the room sweep routine >It was actually really funny to see ten grunt drones enter a closet that is at most 5 meters wide and 1 meter deep >After they declare the room clear of hostiles you and Elena enter >”Good job team, set up a defensive perimeter while we’re inside” >The grunts give you two a salute as you close the door >Elena hugs you again >You look at her screen and read what she has to say >”You’re doing great Anon! ;)” >Thanks? You haven’t exactly done anything yet >She then briefly flashes a <3 >”The audio probes are on the shelf behind us (the blue cardboard box)” >You nod >”We have to set them up in the corridors near the bunks, in the storage room near the mess hall, and a few storage closets with vent access, including this one” >Elena releases the hug and starts searching a shelf near the vent cover in such a way that she blocks it with her body >You reach for the blue box with the audio probes >They are small black disks with a button >You walk over to Elena and place one of the probes near the vent >You press the button, it flashes a few times then stops >Elena gives you a thumbs up >”Oh, Anon! But that’s only one of the parts we need, guess we’ll need to search the other closets”
>>243532 >You’re starting to feel like a cartoon protagonist >Anon the Explorer! We can’t find the rogue drones! What should we do!? >Let’s consult the magic tracking device! >Oh no! The rogue drones tried to do something inappropriate for family televison! >ST don’t rape! ST don’t rape! >Before you imagine the pink dissembler saying “Oh man! Guess I’ll touch you next time” you and Elena leave the closet >The grunts really took establishing a defensive perimeter to their cores >They set up sandbag barricades around the doors, they even somehow found and moved a jersey barrier so that it stands in front of it >The grunts and Elena reform the circle around you and start moving back to the mess hall, leaving the impressive fortifications behind >You watch the drones do the tactical safety dance again >The mess hall is mostly empty, the cook drones are readying up some slop for dinner and a few grunts are currently standing guard here but that’s about it >You and Elena go to a table standing in the corner of the room under a vent >”Anon I can’t believe you forgot your… uhhh… wrench” >You kneel next to the table and “look” for the wrench >After placing the audio probe you move on >Next are the corridors connecting the barracks >Every time you’d need to place a probe Elena would conveniently slip and fall >And you being the gentleman that you are would help her stand up >Of course this was all a ploy to set the probe but Elena gave it her all acting like you were doing her a great help >”Oh thank you Anon, I’m sooooo clumsy” >”Oh, Anon! I think my actuators are starting to give” >Actually, one time she actually slipped >Apparently one of the workers heard noises coming from the vents >The worker, understandably panicked, unholstered his newly acquired pistol and began firing wildly at the vent >There was actually a DD inside the vent, but not the pink one >Suffice to say the DD didn’t take kindly to this interruption and began chasing the poor worker >Due to the commotion no one bothered to clean the casings left on the floor >Elena, focusing her attention on you instead of where she was going, stepped on the casings and landed face-first on the floor >Thankfully she didn’t crack her screen >With the appropriate amount of spying devices deployed in the barracks you move onto the supply closets >They go without a hitch, though Elena decided to give you a hug in each and every one of them to “sell the illusion” >The last supply closet was close to your service bay, it’ll be easy to circle back >No sign of Y and her squad though, and it’s already midday, you will probably work well into the night >On your way there you start hearing noises coming from the vent running alongside the corridor wall >Probably one of the DDs hunting >One of the Grunt drones checks their comms device to confirm >No friend-foe identification signal >Wait, we’ve actually got hostiles >Elena and the grunts immediately open fire >The grunts fire their assault rifles while Elena charges her rail gun >She shoots a blast directly at the vent blowing it apart >The corridor is engulfed in a haze of dust >You barely make out the form of a DD lying under what used to be the vent >It rises to its knees >The grunts get ready to fire but are interrupted by a voice coming from the smoke >”Hold your fire, dummkopfs” >The dust clears >The drone kneeling on the ground is Y >And she’s covered in some pink slime >”Y! What were you doing there? And why didn’t you broadcast an identification signal?” >”I vas chasing ze pink bitch!

Alright, thats done, as always hope you like it and good night
Imagine Uzi's reaction if it turned out that one time she stole Braiden's sentience left a residual psychic link between them and his soul is in her mind palace now even though she didn't eat his core.
>>243528 >>243531 >>243532 >>243533 >>243534 >>243535 Awesome anon, thanks for your work and for sacrificing your sleep schedule for it (dude you were writing until 1am, I hope today is your day off).
And special kek for the reference to smiledron, that was cute.
Consider: Anon on Copper-9 where cryogenically frozen baby Anon is found by Rebecca's parents... then they get killed by N, and Anon and Rebecca go through the foster system together.
>>243567 When do you think "Rebecca's friend's" parents were killed by probably N? I took it as happening before THE DOORS were finished, so when Rebecca was very young.
>>243593 Funniest/most Anon-scarring way of kissing ghost Doll? >kissing anomalous oil construct body >kissing Uzi's tail >kissing hard light hologram >kissing Uzi's body >kissing Doll's possessed corpse >kissing Doll's inert non-possessed corpse while she watches and experiences it vicariously
>You opened a Flight recorder. >Now this thing appears and claimed to be a genie. >You have 3 wishes but you're not sure if it's a monkey paw situation. >What's your wish master Anon?
Drawing could be POV innawoods when Alice acts special again and tries to see how good a predator (wendigo, wendeer...wendibelle?) she can make, ofc with her visor blacked out didn't draw much recently but that is about to change, irl and other hobbies took time, this Alice was intended as more of a quicker perspective/stylization test but turned out very well
>>243623 >All those pointy arrows >Says will make my wishes come true >Probably a monkey's paw kind of thing This is another chaos minion trying to make me to unknowningly make a deal with the ruinous powers isn't it?
>>243666 Yes, yes Uzi only molested and raped him untill he was so increadibly mindbroken that he got amnesia, underwent total ego death and startet going by Samantha Who has the hots for (you) btw, she totally didn't just fucking murder him inna woods with solver witch powers
>>243666 >The screaming we hear is just mutant uzi harshing his buzz by responding to his "does it at least have pictures?" question by forcing him to read manga
>>243672 The drone has already breacehd all out defenses, and worst of al,l she could be behind any of these posts, shh could be behind this one, she could be behind the fugue lorepost, she could even be behind any drawfags drawing!
Thing I only realized after seeing a Tumbly post where it's pointed out: while most of the non-Doll students in the crowd are terrified when V drops in at the prom, Rebecca just looks nonplussed.
>>243699 Had to move all day, in the morning, running around some blocks due to some private reasons. Thank you, my day is going well. I hope your day went amazing, Friend.
What do you think, anon, what could be beyond the Union's outer space?
If we take as a basis the fact that the Union was formed after the collapse of the Federation and after a series of local wars between the fragments of this very Federation, then doesn't this mean that beyond the Union's outer space there may still be some fragments that managed to avoid absorption? I just thought about the existence of such political associations that could represent both separate independent planets and entire interplanetary states. Of course, they will be located in extremely distant outer space, which will lead to extreme underdevelopment and if we add other threats of distant space, then they will probably represent military dictatorships, in which power will be held by military leaders and the army, which will repel numerous threats, from pirates to the Union itself, which they do not want to become a part of, most likely, for ideological reasons (well, not everyone will want to live with machines that committed genocide of your species a decade ago). These fragments can also represent the main resource bases of terrorists, the same VSOTF, in which they can train personnel and collect weapons for a possible uprising and civil war.
But we can also assume about the remnants of the Cyn troops in the form of drones that decided not to join the Union but to continue, let's say, the "business." Separate flotillas(could Cyn at least use a fleet for fun?) and even dronestates, with different attitudes towards humans.
And of course pirates, where would we be without them, they will definitely swarm where there is no central authority. There will definitely be many pirates, one might even say, too many.
>>243674 stfu please we don't need 24/7 slop, nothing prevents anyone from posting what they want or replying to what is interesting. If anything quiet times drive out parasocial retards who aren't here for drones in the first place along with all the dramaaddicts
>>243705 There definitely are systems that are such backwater shitholes that the SW probably never touched them, see the Zinc system where the only drones that were there were worker drones on asteroid mining rigs
>>243714 Uzi, get help. You are utterly transparent, we know that your insistence on being called that is a maladaptive coping mechanism for your disgust and shame over what you are now.
>>243715 >your insistence on being called that is a maladaptive coping mechanism for your disgust and shame over what you are now. that’s actually very interesting characterization, you could build a plot around that
>>243716 It even ties back to episode 2 and her "I Am GOD!" line, which was uttered way before any of the characters had an inkling of what was going on. She seems like someone who makes very hollow attempts to hype herself up in order to tamp down her negative feelings.
>>243718 She's trying to convince herself that she feels better than she really does while also trying to ask for help in an indirect way because she's so poorly adjusted that she can't open up to most people.
>>243727 Or he narrowly escaped with his life and now living in Outpost 5, where he was given sanctuary after reporting he was attacked by a little goblin creature (i.e. a duende).
>>243723 I guess it depends on who you are: a soldier of a brutal warlord who is preparing an army to conquer the galaxy has a much better chance of survival than a prisoner of a gang of disassembly drone pirates who will sell him on the blood market of one of the dronestates.
>>243735 You can have both of them at the same time. The question is which one at which end? >the huge, but gentle disassembly dong >the smaller, but overeager worker dick
