"Looking for the best rates on ship parts? Bargains are the name of the game here at Siren! We've got conduits, sensors, s-foils, main deflector dishes, all kinds of great gear ready for YOU! Stop by Siren for the best deals you'll ever find in this sector! Call C-200-9932-"

Siren 1: "Turn it off, already! We're here."

Siren 2: "It's a good commercial, though."

Siren 3: "Well, you're probably one of the few. It was the cheapest ad spot we could get, considering."

A weathered ship flies towards a hulking wreck in the distance. The occupants lean into the viewports, their imaginations running wild with the thoughts of salvage, and the riches that they entail.

Tracy successfully reroutes the fuel lines and grabs every available circuit board. Hands and arms full of loot, she bolts from the engine room while her suit and undergarments continue to dissolve. Tracy takes great care to not get any of the liquid on the valuable circuits.



Meanwhile... Noor is approaching the computer core when a large blast door impedes her progress.

Noor: "Come in, Siren 1."

Su-Yeong: "What's up, Siren 3?"

Noor: "I have a large blast door in front of me. It's cutting off access to the computer core. Can you open it remotely?"

There's a momentary pause.

Su-Yeong: "Negative, Siren 3. I don't have the permissions to disengage it. You'll have to find another way through."

You are a Bergman, a standard-bearer of your lord's castle. Or at least you were one.
Your last regal employer was caught in some less than loyal business, and you didn't survive the lordly break-up.
Now without a job, or a roof over over your head, you assess your future employment.

The small villagers were definitely alive, looking up at you with a tentative gaze as all you could think to do to disarm their fears was wave towards them. You were never the prettiest smiler

You drop Paz off with the doctor in a cramped room that smells heavily of bleach and antibacterial soap, and elect to wait out in the hall. You have no desire to watch that knife coming out of him, nor do you have any desire to watch him being given stitches. You've had enough stitches of your own to understand the experience intimately.

The guard is gone, probably back to his original post now that he doesn't have to wait for you. You lean against the wall and check your phone. Four unread text messages - one from Ángel, two from Rory, and one from an unknown number.

Satisfied that the room has been fully explored, Coral carefully cracks open the northern door to peek through.
With neither sign of life, nor imminent danger spotted, Coral Opens the door and walks through.

This is yet another Hallway. But unlike the other hallways, this one has a Large Gate. The gate is made of a thick metal, its hinges are as big as Coral's arm, and the central portion has a large Locked Box. Coming out of the box is a metal cord wrapped around the gate. Coral's UnRusty Key doesn't fit in the lock.
Coral peaks her head back through the door.
Coral: "Baldy, get over here."

Baldy pulls his Longsword out of a chunk of what used to be a Wooden Throne.
Baldy: "Chair not fun anyway."
"Maybe you find Big Spider for Me kill?"

Coral: "No, it's a locked gate. And please be quiet."

Baldy walks into the hallway, and attempts to use his two Keys on the Lock.
Neither of his keys work.

From what we've seen I think cracked open doors are like that to allow spiders to move around. Let's peek through the northern door first. Load crossbow just before, unload crossbow if nothing's in the room we need to shoot. Thus, avoiding the danger of carrying around the loaded crossbow in a noncombat situation.

For Phi², how important is it that the whole thing be exomatter? Could you cut corners with a core of very dense conventional matter, like a Kerr-Newman black hole somewhere around 10^10 kilograms? Embed it in a disposable chunk of nickel-iron, vaporized metal falls into the event horizon until the rate of mass flow cancels out losses to Hawking radiation. Might even be able to scrounge up a naturally-occurring one, since in theory some primordial black holes may have self-stabilized that way. Hook up a few sufficiently advanced electromagnets and it'll double as a flywheel battery and gravity wave transmitter/receiver.

Or build an inward-facing force field and cram it full of ingots of metallic hydrogen or something, tighter and tighter until they collapse into neutronium. As a side benefit, might be able to extract a bit of extra power from nuclear fusion. Make sure to warn whoever's running neutrino detectors before you start, though, wouldn't want them to get the wrong idea.

Also, would it be possible to remotely disable stelluric pipes by using a Faraday-cage equivalent to block the stelluric current to a specific volume of space, without disrupting the rest of the network too much? What about burning them out by modulating generator output in phased-array sorts of ways? Can the emitters be reconfigured to send more in some directions and less in others? What sort of factors define that 90-AU limit?

notes about the UN meeting:

-provided china, russia, and the US are the same as 2021-era society, we will likely see the firmest challenges from the individualists of the US and the self-interest of russia. Chinese leadership tends to at least be performative-communal, even if that tends to come to wacky conclusions about things like civil rights.
Not pissing these three off is the most important, China plays a LOT of influence games against the US and the Russians are mostly focused on internal stability, so they've all got their hands deep into international affairs.

-Of the three, the most likely to leap to saber-rattling is probably China, followed by the US. Treat any of that as performative and do not give a strong response to it unless they actually attempt an attack.

-Given Elon Fucking Musk:tm: is president, we can only assume Libertarianism has run rampant in America lately. Based on that, I think revealing anything about our plans of surveillance states or us being a hive mind is RIGHT out.
Do not talk about ANY of this at the UN meeting, even if pressed, as it WILL backfire without a planned-out optics campaign. We're here to offer FREE ENERGY and ASSUAGE FEARS.

-One out-there idea is we could advertise our island nation as a vacation destination for a little bit, just a nice place to not have to worry about health or judgement for breaking from cultural norms to recharge before getting back to your normal society.

This would allow visitors (likely leaders or the wealthy) to experience a country where all the high-minded "socialist" ideas actually get put into play, and if they do in fact work, then they might actually think to bring some of those ideas home with them. This isn't a p

I've never been so ecstatic to see sub-standard army gear in my life and... what the hell are these?

5X Slash

[Note that natural dodge chance is currently 5%*Dexterity stat.
There are benefits to mixing block and dodge strategies; if your character has block remaining but manages to dodge an attack that would otherwise reduce said block, that block turns into Combo Tokens, which can be used to block attacks on the next turn or for stronger attacks. Most standard/common cards don't use combo tokens though.]

Okay, I think I understand. If I equip the gear, I can use the card enchanted to its effects. They're like two-dimensional brass jail bars otherwise. I've never seen this kind of magic before... but then, nobody ever saw magic from beyond the nether before...

You are part of the Secret Extermination Command

You control a squad of Constructed Organisms, each with useful biological powers.

Your job is to monitor and command your squad to exterminate paranatural threats to Gray Lake, an amazing and prosperous city. It is extremely important that the people of Gray Lake aren't aware of the somewhat unfortunately common paranatural threats, and so officially, you don't exist.

Do well, and you will be assigned more C.Orgs, or even be able to commission specific gene combinations, and reap the probably-existent benefits of being part of a secret government organization.

Do poorly, and your squad will be recycled and you'll have to get a real job or something.

Your name is Saten, and recently you're starting to think that the world might be a little too convenient. Suspiciously convenient. It's not like you're an expert, but every time you chase down a rumour it turns out to be true, even—especially—the truly absurd ones.

You used to do that sort of thing because it was fun. But now your life seems to have taken on a darker hue—the more you uncover, the more dangerous things get. In the last month you've seen your best friend nearly killed, you've seen Misaka-san fry a giant floating baby in front of her, and you didn't even get powers out of it!

Which is, well, probably okay. You don't know why the Level-Upper didn't work for you, when it worked for everyone else. Maybe your talent is just that weak. But everyone else who used it fell into a coma, so you can't really...

You can't complain.

It's not the sort of thing a reasonable girl would complain about. No matter how much you wish you had powers. Or maybe, if you were being honest with yourself, you wanted them because they'd make your life easier? As a level zero, your stipend is nearly nonexistent.

You're a first year student in Sakugawa middle school, a low-end but still perfectly nice school in the middle of Academy City. You're best friends with Kazari Uiharu, and you're starting to feel really comfortable around Misaka Mikoto and Kuroko. The latter is a little bit of a kindred spirit, frankly, even if she's also... she's also... she's Kuroko.

And you're... seriously considering going home. Moving out of Academy City.

But that would mean leaving Uiharu, and Kuroko, and Mikoto, and at this point you think if you leave them, they might actually die. You're just scared. That's all. Because...

> How... exactly did you fight a telepath, when you had no powers?

Kiyama Harumi was bad at using her powers, and you weren't so much 'fighting' as 'nearby, in the car, hoping Uiharu and Misaka would do something.' And she wasn't so much 'attacking you' as 'curious about you'. But she's in prison now, so you don't get to ask why she cared about you at all.

You wonder if Hikari has a power that could help. You should know that, if she'san acqu- friend. A friend. A real friend, not a ghost.

...right? Dangit, your head feels foggy suddenly. You push it aside. Her power? Right, pyrokinesis. Barely level one. Not enough to do anything.

The soft-serve machine is digging through the walls. Is it running away? You think it's running away. Though sharp bits and bent pipes are flailing back and forth in front of you, trying to look larger than they are and flinching away when you stare at them.

The soft-serve machine has left a hole in the wall, through which you can see the shop next door. It's messed up as well. Sausages are growing a net of wires and gears, while the candy rack has formed itself into a single huge bar of chocolate. It's got eyes and a mouth and a tongue, and it's staring at you. The ketchup bottles have sprouted tentacles and are reaching out towards the fleeing customers. Which tells you they're seeing this.

Nevermind. This is annoying. You just wanted to get Ui icecream, and the world is being very rude about it. Somehow, that's more annoying than the teeth. You aren't bleeding from the touch, you feel perfectly fine, so what can they do, really?

You could leave now, but Kuroko's still incoming.

And then you push.

The flames surge outwards, bypassing Hikari, and the soft-serve machine explodes. The walls, the ceiling, the floor, all of them. They're gone, melted by the heat, and the 'aura' around you is boiling. You can feel it expanding, filling the whole room, then spilling into the shop beyond.

It's not really heat. It's scrubbing away the corruption, pulling it down, away from reality. The soft-serve machine turns into a broken mess of metal and plastic. The candy rack breaks apart into thousands of tiny pieces of candy. The sausages are shrivelling up.

Your world freezes into a glassy clarity. There's no sound. It's as if you've been turned to ice, and the noise has frozen with you. Uiharu, Kuroko or Hikari — none of them matter. Your mind is only one thing now, and that is the job at hand. You have to cauterize this infection before it spreads any further.

The soft-serve machine's still screaming. But you can't hear it. You have no reason to. The flow of light condenses around you, turning into an outfit straight out of a magical girl manga: A short dress, white and pale purple, showing far more skin than you'd normally be comfortable showing. Right now it feels simply right.

Data that's been infected by a virus must be deleted. You turn your eyes to Hikari, examining her for signs of infection. You find none. She's free of contamination.

The soft-serve machine has stopped screaming. It's quiet. The room is silent. The air is clean again. The confectionery is gone, melted into puddles of liquid, and the meat-wrapped sausages have dissolved into nothing. A final burst of commands sets them all back to null, erasing the contents of both shops, and the few people who escaped, before they can infect any more. It's a restrained, delicate operation. You aren't able to restore the concept of 'ic

In any event, I think I'm going to leave this off here.

I started the story with absolutely zero idea of what to do with it, besides that of jamming together Garakowa and ToAru. I now think I have a pretty good idea of how to make a good story from it, though it doesn't look quite like this.

Which is a problem. I just prefer longer-form, better edited chapters, I guess. Still, it was a fun use of a weekend.

This thread can now considered dead. For those sufficiently interested, here's the other story I was fusing with ToAru: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afIhxY3ST40

First Story:
https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/961354.html

Kelepee is becoming a problem. Actually, that's putting it mildly.

You've been traveling between Willow and various other small villages in the area, selling the highest quality bread and doing well for yourself. Things have been getting more difficult, though, because the longer you've had Kelepee with you, the more villages have banned you. She lets you shackle her and pass her off as a War Wolf, but that doesn't stop her from getting in fights with random people, animals, and anything else that sets her off. Neither you, Caoiran or Kelepee herself are really capable of controlling her, so things have been in a steady decline.

You still have the fairy manuscript and the apothecary book, rare and valuable items that aren't easy to find buyers for, and you find yourself in Willow again. You always stop by Genlaud's house, and she's always happy to see you. Her hospitality is often welcome.

You enter the house, grown from living wood and part of the tree itself, and Caoiran and Genlaud turn to look at you as you enter.

"Boss, I don't know how much longer this can last," Caoiran says. "We got to do something about that orc."

Recently, you'd been having to go further and further out just to find places where you can sell your bread.

Act like an overprotective boyfriend and jump in, hugging Kelepee to try to separate them and shouting to let Kelepee go. After the War Wolf retreats, tell Ireka not to call Kelepee crazy again, ok? while winking at her.

Doing it like that serves several purposes. It would show Kelepee that you're still the leader here and have command over the War Wizard, it would show Kelepee that you still care a lot about her and, well, give her some attention which is probably also one of the reasons she's so agitated. Hmm, maybe this was a part of Ireka's plan.

Anyway, once Kelepee is calm again, do ask her not to fight with the War Wizard because you need them both of them to protect the group.

If Kelepee were able to restrain herself she'd already be doing so, and humiliating her won't change that so I don't really see much point in it.

I assume you've already explained your plans to head west to Kelepee but you should do so if not

>Clear the room before you take off the muzzle. Like you said this is a good ambush location.
Right,
>Check behind the bed, in any person-sized cabinets, etc.
Checking behind the bed, all I find is some loose change. Which I quietly pocket.
I approach the bottom cabinets and the tied up crew mate keeps trying muffle something out to me, but I can't understand them. I decide it's best to open from the side, using my sword.

A needle fires out from the cabinet!

I set the radio down on the bed and put the sword up to his throat.

Marsh: "I'm un-doing the muzzle now, speak quietly or..."
I lightly rub the sword across his neck. They nod slowly as I undo there muzzle. They don't say much other than moan in pain.

Wolf: "Got stabbed fightin the mutineers and they just locked me in here instead of the brig. Argh... Said I was bellyaching too much to be with the others, so they just threw me in here. You know how to stitch up a stab wound? If not, where's the Captain?

Gavin, the guy in white had been in the meeting room for quite a while. Millie decided to check in on him again. When she switched cameras to the meeting room, it looked like Gavin was talking to someone on the large monitor. But the split second Millie took a look to see who was on the montior, the monitor turned off.

Millie wasn't sure, but it didn't look like Pink on the monitor, and instead, the only thing Millie could make out on the monitor was a figure that she thinks was wearing a long blue skirt, yellow shirt, and a large blue ribbon on their chest.

I dive for cover and make ready with my sidearm, while the nearest opens fire. He's the priority.

He's able to get off three shots while I brace and take careful aim.

The hostile misses me with his shots. I'm fairly certain I'm hitting on target but he doesn't appear to be stopping... body armor.

As the terrorist starts carefully aiming at my position, I move my aim up a bit and go for the head.

JC shoots, having aimed for 3 seconds with a braced weapon for a +5 to hit. Range penalty is -5, and penalty for the face is -5.

JC hits, doing 28 damage (hit face, bullet went into skull, 7 multiplied by 4). The terrorist drops onto his knees and then forward face down into the grass.

The two in the distance are maybe 80 meters out, and shots are still coming. One's taken cover and is firing, the other one has ducked down behind it.

Our protagonist could be called Oneiro Hulm.

He would be a curious but shy small creature.
Physically he is a fluffy feline with black fur and green eyes, although on a more throughout assessment this may not be entirely correct. The vertical pupils are very characteristic of the elegant cats, but those eyes seem different somehow. It's unusual but not unheard of small ones developing a fur coat so dense and messy, but are those really fur or feathers? And beneath all of that, if we were able to see perhaps we could get a glimpse of what look like scales.

He is an avid reader, or at least he would be if he didn't have difficulty concentrating in written text for long periods of time. Few thing can keep him in one place for longer than pages full of mystery, but he rarely manage to finish his books.
His sense of wonder attract him to tall tales and lost secrets. His heart is easily moved by the most absurd of rumours, and even though the he is frightened by the mere stare of strangers he is willing to face his fears for the mere chance that those could be true.
You could say he is at least partially qualified as a scholar, and although too naive for such he may be optimistically called an investigator. Almost nothing can get him in contact with strangers if it doesn't involve his curiosities, but those emotions dominate him so much that he can be called experienced in the academic pursues.
His true talent however is to move unseen. Only natural for someone who dislike being observed, but the way he does it is unlike anything else. He may not even be aware but when he try to stay unnoticed he is hidden almost as if by magic.
