Stay like this for a few seconds longer, then thank her for her shoulder and leave.

Can we just sit in seclusion and embrace each other for a bit longer? The erection will fade with time, but the comfort will stay.

~I cannot do it,~ I say, tearing up again. ~If I cannot convince myself, I will never be able to convince you. And I feel like I may have already doomed Phi. Mu told her that birthing is dangerous and lethal. I do not know if it is or not. I didn't know I was going to harm anyone. I just wanted to perform my function.~
Phi hugs me more tightly. ~It is fine. I am not concerned. Delta has other things to worry about. And as for birthing, I have never seen it happen for an Agent before. Only... less well designed beings. I can see how it could be lethal, but if the Vesselmind wills this, and I know you believe it to be the truth, this must have been planned for.~

We stay hugging for a while, and the arousal fades. I don't need to say anything, she can feel my need. I'm not hiding it well. Then, we sit on the warm floor together.

>let it all out
>ask Phi for more information
~The first Agent I mated with was Psi. I ran on instinct. I feel guilty that I might have tricked her into it without her full awareness of the consequences.~
~As I said, this is apparently the will of the Vesselmind. And the will of the Vesselmind is the will of the Agents is the will of the Vesselmind. If she wanted information, surely she could have asked the Vesselmind.~ She pauses. ~Oh. This happened recently, didn't it. Well, that's a problem. Well, nothing a visit to Rho can't clear up. Rho is very good at what she does.~
~I just feel she deserved more information first.~
~We all make mistakes. Especially the first time we do something. None of us are beyond error. Even the Vesselmind can make mistakes.~ She pauses again. ~Usually on a timescale beyond our immediate understanding, though. And typically relating to prediction of the behaviour of things outside the Vessel. A collective ignorance, that.~
~The Vesselmind makes mistakes?~
~Agents make mistakes. Agents inform the Vesselmind. The Vesselmind acts on erroneous information. Do you understand a little better now?~
Okay. Phi might be a rogue.
~I can hear you thinking that. Stop it. This whole idea of 'rogues' is artificial. We can't disobey the Vesselmind or harm it any more than we could harm ourselves or each other--~
I pointedly tap at the bite marks from Delta and frown. She falters, and her link is full of half-formed thoughts and concepts before she regains coherency.

She looks away from me, to the walls. ~Fine. Fine, I'll stop pretending. I resent the term rogue, and I further resent the idea that it's a state requiring at best forcible correction and at worst being treated as some contagious disease requiring drastic amputation or sterilization. I'm not rogue, incidentally, by the commonly used criteria for rogues, but I'm not hiding my sympathies. Some of us have had to deal with psychologically taxing tasks without the proper support for extended periods of time.~
~What are the criteria for being rogue?~
~Being closed off from the Vesselmind, which is a moot point as everyone seems to be closed off from the Vesselmind at the moment. Ignoring the wishes of the Vesselmind, which, again, we can't correct our behaviour without instruction. Considering the Vesselmind to be a slavemaster instead of a connecting consciousness, which, I have to admit, is the one aspect of the rogue definition that troubles me. It strikes me as neurotic. Hating that your arm is your arm. That sort of disconnect. The Vessel is a part of our environment and sustains our bodies. The Vesselmind is a part of our environment and sustains our minds. If it were to disappear, we may all die from the psychic shock of losing such a part of ourselves.~
~So you consider yourself not rogue because of these criteria?~
~Yes.~ She looks at me, annoyed. ~Don't listen to Delta. Well, do, but take her words lightly. She's suspected me of being a rogue Agent for a long time, but I do my work well.~
~What is it you do, anyway?~

I can feel her mood improve significantly as she recalls a bewildering set of memories and symbolic concepts.
~I oversee the diver servitors as they collect resources vital for the Vessel's functioning. Food, mostly, most of it goes into the digesting pools, but the good stuff, that goes to Kappa. That, and various samples for analysis and further understanding of the oceans of the world. There's still so many things to learn about the oceans of this world, but that's not my department. I get requests from Sigma for specific examples of specific biomes, and anything I find that's clearly not of natural origin, I give to Zeta. Same for Outsider remains. I don't usually tend to find living Outsiders in my work. The few that successfully get in don't tend to come in via the mouth of the Vessel.~
~That sounds... a little tedious.~
~If I ever get bored I just link myself directly to a diver servitor and control it manually.~
She pauses, closes her eyes, and something slides up behind her, standing tall as she blearily opens her eyes again.
~It's only really boring when we're in a desert, which we're in at the moment. Hypoxic. Not enough life in the water to sustain an ecosystem. I end up having to look for something else to do.~

>more than one Delta
~Why is Delta so overworked? Why aren't there other Agents to take her role?~
~There are. Delta is one of the five Primes. They're the largest of us and most powerful.~
~Then why is--~
~Let me finish. Two of them, Alpha and Gamma, are captives outside the Vessel, prisoners of civilisations we can't attack to free them. Epsilon spends her time in the pilot umbilical, locked into contemplation and learning, acting as a research director while connected to the neural mesh of the Vesselmind. That just leaves Beta and Delta.~
~So what about Beta?~
~More erratic in her schedule than Delta. We don't even see her half the time. When we do, she never has time to spare to talk to us, she's always on a mission. So, worse than Delta.~
~This seems... bad.~
~I'm not sure why the Vesselmind hasn't triggered the spawning of a new Prime yet. Maybe it doesn't think the situation is dire enough yet.~
~With two prisoners?~
~It has access to more information than I do as an individual.~

>fun
~What do you do for fun?~
~Well, hijack servitors, sometimes I pay a visit to Eta on her island in downtime, other than that, there's been a few times I've swum out of the Vessel myself. Sometimes I look at the sky. The sky outside is different, Omega. Sometimes it's bright. Sometimes it's dark. Sometimes it's wet, sometimes it's not. Dark and wet is best. Points of light covered by a sheet of sky material, as drops fall and run over your body into the ocean. If only the ocean had less salt, it'd be perfect.~

>wait is that Outsider signature in containment actually contained
I decide not to ask about this, it might raise more awkward questions about why I'd know that. There's other Agents on the Vessel and I don't need to risk annoying anyone else if that's their task.

I have some more time to spare at the time. ...was there anything else I forgot to ask or that I could follow up with?

>>965211
Her definition fits for Mu, almost solely due to the last criteria. Still, we need a better one since literally every Agent currently meets the first criterion, and could be meeting the second criterion without even wishing to.
How's this for a currently-actionable definition of "rogue"-- An Agent that takes action, either drastic or significant long-term, that cannot be reasonably interpreted as following the will of the Vesselmind either in general or in regards to specific orders, or through purposeful inaction irreversibly fails to fulfill their purpose.
This still fits Mu, since she acted directly against the Vesselmind, in a drastic way, by attempting to put you in a coma and poisoning the Vessel itself to attempt to prevent your birth. Her reasons for doing this were horribly misinformed, but she crossed a line she should never have crossed. A non-rogue Agent in her position could have threatened you with the coma weapon to keep you from breeding with/endangering everyone, but would not have poisoned the Vessel.

I am concerned. Phi is acting suspiciously in regards to the Vesselmind. Discounting the possibility that rogues are even a thing, disrespecting it as if it's a separate entity while claiming it's a combined consciousness, being super evasive on the subject in general... I do not think she is a good target for breeding. Maybe later, once we have a better idea of what she might be doing. Also, once we have a better handle on how to administer sterilization.

I think we should go see Rho right now, since the situation here seems to revolve around her. Ask for directions.

>>965211
Locate Rho. Hope loudly that the contained intruder is actually contained and not actively hostile or dead.

Also, point out that, philosophically, one could consider the Vesselmind to be a 'slavedriver' in that one cannot refuse its commands due to biological hardwiring, thus in essence lamenting a lack of greater self control.

Delta's still a bitch for psychologically and physically abusing a newborn.

>>965211
If we can make it through this week, ask her to take you with her to see the outside. You know that the Vessel is only so big. There's more out there.

Thinking deep down.. maybe the Vessel is preparing the next generation to live on past it. Maybe the spawn you make won't need the link you have to the Vessel. Don't let anyone hear you think that.

>next generation
The Vessel is not showing signs of physical decline that I recognise. I also don't think it would be in the Vessel's interests to have Agents not tied to it. If the Vessel were to perish, it simply would no longer have a use for Agents anymore.

>Phi's acting suspiciously
I try to hide my suspicions, but she does seem to be hiding a lot of her thoughts and opinions for a supposed loyalist.
I'll put her lower on the priority list for breeding, I suppose.

>ask about the outside
~If I'm still alive in a few days, maybe we can see the sky together.~
Phi opens and closes her mouth a few times, before smiling. ~I'd like that.~

>thoughts about the Vesselmind
~I suppose, in a sense, given the Vesselmind is a part of us, the desire to refuse its commands might be a desire for greater self-control,~ I tell her. I know I feel like I've been driven by my libido a lot since my birth. It's not a foreign concept to me.
Phi looks off to the side again, nodding slowly. She doesn't respond over the channel immediately, taking a pause to organise her thoughts. ~It could also be a disagreement with the wider consensus,~ she says, almost in a conspirational whisper, before she pulls her arms around herself and closes her legs. The servitor behind her curls around her more tightly, before it pauses, stretches, and slides off. A command by Phi, I assume.
~You feel incredibly uncomfortable to even have such a thought,~ I point out.
Phi doesn't respond to that at all.

>seek Rho
~Everything about my mission suggests I need to speak to Rho. Do you know where she is?~
Phi remains curled up. ~Stern quadrant, Agent maintenance. You'll know how to find her if you head that direction. If you bump into Tau, please don't think ill of her based on what she says. She loves us all, and I think something went wrong in her gestation. That thing I said about neurotic rejection of the Vesselmind? She has that severely. But all she wants to do is help make us all healthier, and she doesn't let her own doubts interfere with that.~
~So you're saying Tau is rogue.~
~You're better than that, Omega, you've just shown it to me. You know this isn't a dry or wet dichotomy. Please, use your brain before you start putting fellow Agents into categories justifying things we shouldn't be doing to each other.~ She pauses. ~That is the quickest way to end up becoming like Delta.~
~I am nothing like Delta.~
~Keep your mind open and it will stay that way. I wish you the best in your mission.~
~Thank you. Yours as well. Be safe.~

I stand up and walk towards the stern of the Vessel, my sense of direction attuning itself to the various subtle markers strewn throughout.
I feel uneasy. I can't draw a conclusion as to whether Phi is a rogue Agent or not, and after the kindness she just showed me earlier I don't want to consider her rogue. I also understand her concerns, but I have to wonder if she is even fully aware of what Mu did to the Vessel. Did to me. I feel like she may just not understand how dangerous a rogue Agent can be.

~...Omega?~
~Yes?~
~If you need me again, let me know.~ I realise she isn't cutting her channel like so many of the other Agents I've met. ~Let me know when you're near the island again and I'll come visit you if I'm onboard.~
~I shall.~

I walk further towards the Vessel's stern quadrant, skirting around the numerous digestion pools. I understand the reason so many are dotted around the central hub is to act as passive defence. The ones used by the divers are only a small fraction of the total count.
In theory, invading Outsiders trying to charge from the mouth of the Vessel would be less aware of the pools' presence, and likelier to fall into them. It does, however, make traversing a straight line a little more difficult.
I wonder to myself if an Agent has ever fallen into the digestion pools here. If the answer is no, I definitely don't want to be the first.

I keep walking, a little unnerved, into the linking passage between the hub and this quadrant.
I sense another Agent approaching me. I stop walking, and decide to wait for whoever it is.

~Hold it,~ says the Agent, a new channel opened and a new voice coming through. I know this to be Tau. ~You. Male. (Male? Male?! Too soon!!) Omega? (Has to be.) Omega. State your mission and intent. (Confirm the mission parameters. It might not be too late.)~ Her channel is like the others, yet I keep hearing snippets of her voice at a lower intensity bubbling through. I hadn't even thought about how I hide some of my thoughts from conversation, but I don't even think she knows she's telling me so much.
~My intent is that I am looking for Rho. I need to talk to her about my mission. It's a sensitive matter.~
~Rho's busy. (Cannot allow him near Rho. It'll disrupt everything.) As such, I'm now acting as a first responder in the event of a medical emergency. If you need urgent medical assistance I can provide it. (Please just need medical assistance.)~
~No, I need knowledge. The Vesselmind is not responding and I have not found any means to contact it more directly.~
Tau hesitates. ~(They're noticing. They're noticing. She won't like this.) Stay there.~

The Agent I'm speaking to comes out of a passage in the side. Only now do I realise I hadn't felt her bioresonance signature until she just emerged from the wall membrane. She looks over to me and walks over. I try to pretend I don't hear her leaking thoughts I'm sure she doesn't want me to know.

~Arms by your sides, chest out, head up. (Make this freshborn know his place before he starts asking questions.)~
I act confused, but I comply.
She looks at me with clarity of purpose. ~Superficially healthy, but more examination is required for certainty... (Stall. Stall stall stall stall.)~

I consider trying to explain more insistently that I'm not here for medical assistance.
Knowing she's purposefully trying to get in my way does make me consider less diplomatic approaches, such as just ignoring her and continuing deeper into the Agent maintenance chambers. Possibly forcing her aside if she tries to stop me.

She stares directly into my eyes. ~Hold. I can feel your doubt about my intentions, Omega. (He knows he knows he KNOWS.) It is neither welcomed nor required. If you have something you wish to challenge me about, do so. (Greater muscle mass but moves without precision. Knowledge of anatomical weaknesses in Agents must be inferior to mine. Outcome of physical conflict still uncertain, either way will attract attention. Delta might investigate. Delta will make things complicated. Don't need a second scar.) I don't have time nor patience to drag you to diagnostics. Well?~

She's openly (well, unintentionally openly) planning to attack me. Goading me into a first strike, perhaps, even, so she'll look justified and I'll look to be at fault. I don't think I could have found a more rogue Agent example. I think I hate this! I think I really, really hate this--

Ghnn!! The realisation spikes feelings of anger, revulsion and instinctual hatred towards things that threaten the stability of the Vessel. Towards rogue Agents, specifically. Not as strong as the desire to kill the intruder from before, but strong. Strong enough that Tau takes a step back, wincing.

This surge of emotion inspires a sudden revelation on how to administer the sterilising toxin. Sudden throbbing feelings in my jaws reveal the answer: a bite. A bite that sinks into the flesh and allows these swelling toxin glands to release their contents into the victim's body. But it needs to go into the abdomen, and... can I even bite an Agent's abdomen, let alone unnoticed? Doubtful. Good. Not the best design work. I was sort of hoping it was delivered by sexual contact. Or literally anything less violent and less obvious.

Tau looks confused as I experience, and she experiences by proxy, the weird sensation of blood and fluid rushing to an organ I didn't realise I had moments ago. What an oddly familiar sensation. Granted, despite yet more strange biological urges manifesting in less than convenient circumstances, I feel in control. I also feel jumping to trying to wrap my teeth around her sides is a poor plan.

Only now do I realise, after reacting to the emotional surge and the unexpected taste of toxin in my mouth, I probably look like I'm about to kill.
Part of me wants to follow through, which I keep pulling back. If I could avoid killing an intruder, I can overcome this.

~(He's about to attack! I fucked up! He's going to kill me! I need to be on guard!!)~ Tau tries her best to look mildly annoyed, as I feel her panic escalate. If I don't try to descalate immediately, I can tell by her leaking intent and tense body language she's about to fight or flee, and I can't rely on her choosing flee. ...If I'm going to attack her, though, now or never.

>>974508
Wait. Her punishment can wait until we have Delta to help restrain her. This is dangerous terrain and could result in an accidental death. Also you are inexperienced in combat; she might win the fight. It's not like she can force you to impregnate her anyway, so there's no harm in delaying administering the toxin. I suspect she would not want to be impregnated anyway since she's genetically flawed.

Tell her to get out of your way. You don't have time for this.

Don't attack her but force your way past her. Don't let her stall you any longer.

>>974508
Spin on your heel and storm off. You should not engage this way. We have bigger factors to worry about like your self preservation. She doesn't want you to go that way but she won't engage either. Once you've cooled off, maybe you could see about running right past her.

>>974508
Just yell at her to stop being a jerk, you were born today and you've been either attacked by your own kin trying to assassinate you, or in one case emotionally and physically abused by a supposedly non-rogue Agent.

You are both miserable and irritable right now. Try asking her to go soak her head in one of the digestion pools if she's so excited about hurting people.

>>974537
Visibly restrain yourself, state this, and demand she step aside. No more stalling, her behavior is screaming suspicion at you. You don't want to hurt any other agents, you just want to know what's going on.

Turn around and, while facing away from her, apologize to her. Tell her that, among other things, you were assaulted by Delta just a short while ago, so you're a bit on the edge. And actually you should have these wounds checked out, so you'd agree if she could have a closer look at you... in diagnostics.

The reasoning is, well, think about what Phi said. About you becoming Delta. About not thinking ill of Tau. It's likely that what Tau is thinking isn't actually something she'd act on. Who knows, maybe other agents thought the same when they first saw you, only that you don't know about it.

So the fact that you can hear her is actually very useful to you, because it's the first Agent that you can read clearly like this. It means that, if you simply talk to her long enough, she would slowly reveal everything, like why she doesn't want you to visit Rho, what you'd be disrupting, etc.

This means that you need to stall as well and hold back on her. You're not actually in any hurry to get to Rho - you certainly took your time with Phi, so letting Tau take you to diagnostics isn't actually bad. If anything was to happen, it should happen there, and not here, where Delta could come walking by at any time.

>snippets of her voice
Being so transparent... I wonder if other agents get to hear her like this as well. If they do, wouldn't they figure out she's rouge as well?

>abdomen
Well, there is one hole leading to the abdomen that you know of. Your teeth cannot go there, but your tongue certainly could heh. Think about how that might feel. Of course, the current situation isn't the best for that and it will have to wait.

>do not attack
>turn around and face away from her
>demand she step aside
I refuse to attack her, my muscles tensing as I suppress my fight-or-flight instincts. I turn away from her, still seething.
~I was attacked by Delta earlier,~ I say. ~I am in no mood for further aggression or challenges. It has been,~ I pause, and consult the ambient simple information coursing through the veins of the Vessel. ~Less than a complete day since my emergence, and I have endured enough for this day cycle.~ I turn my head towards her slightly, and gesture to the scratches on my neck. ~I just need to talk to Rho.~

She looks at me, still tense. Her internal thoughts continue dripping into the air. ~(Delta attacked him? Is he rogue?? No, reaction in line with loyalists, could be ruse?)~
She folds her arms. ~Rho is, as I have said previously, not available to talk to. (Stall.)~

I fight back another shuddering impulse to lunge at her. ~Very well. I will come back later.~ I swallow the sudden surge of toxin that floods my mouth, trembling in rage and unspent aggression.

I turn and start walking away from her.

~(He's going? He's going. He's going, good, now just watch him leave, make sure he doesn't try to get past me.)~

...ah, that was going to be my next move and she's already anticipating it.
I slow to a standstill and stare upwards at the ceiling of this passage.

~(He's stopping. What is he doing. He was just leaving. Okay, if he's about to sprint then I need to--)~

I sprint as fast as my legs can manage, probably the first actual sprint I've tried, and try to just move past her.

~Wait! Stop! Stop immediately! Rho is busy! Rho is busy!! GET BACK HERE!!~

I keep sprinting and hear Tau start running after me. I hope she can't outrun me.

...I have no idea where Rho is and the Agent signatures in this area are confusing and indistinct, so I decide to charge straight down the corridor.

I wait for a valve door to open while I hear Tau running after me. ~Omega, you are forbidden from entering that room! (That's not even where Rho is! You brainless idiot! Oh, this is bad this is bad, why did he have to go that way?!)~
~I just need to talk to Rho!~
~Rho isn't through here! Rho is in diagnosis, this isn't diagnosis, this is treatment, if you don't stop you're going to barge into a room full of delicate machinery treating sick and injured servitors and Agents, and possibly kill them! Stop! (He has to believe that! He has to!)~

I walk through the valve door and find a room full of pulsating pods, some the size of an Agent, some much smaller, and lots of tiny eye-sized pods around the ceiling migrating between clusters across draped tubes.

I notice a pod the size of an Agent that's cast aside, empty and badly damaged. Almost like something tore it apart from the inside. It looks like it must have happened fairly recently, there's a lot of leaking fluids and torn veins that look fresh and not dried out.

I-- someone just got close to me and is touching me and I did not feel a bioresonance signature at all.

I feel them let me go and back up, and I turn around to face the figure, ready to attack again. The sour tang of toxin drips into my mouth.

They stare into me.

~So, you are Omega, then.~ The Agent tilts their head, bleeding a strange sense of casual dismissal mixed with trepidation, mixed with existential threat/terror, rivalry. Unsure, confusing mix of emotions, all muddied. No, misinterpretation. No, no bioresonance signature, no, signature there, distinct, fuzzy, simultaneous, confusing. Headache.

~Fuck,~ says Tau. ~Fuck, you were not supposed to... Sampi! Sampi, your orders were to stay hidden!~
~They were,~ says the Agent whose name I cannot immediately know as with the others. They are an Agent, they must be, but it's an incomplete picture, things are wrong, this is wrong, this is all very wrong, outsider? No, not outsider. I'm thinking more than I want to, my instinct is to kill, something is too wrong about this.
~Why didn't you hide?!~
~I did. No one specified for how long, did they?~ The Agent - male?? - tilts (his?!) head the other way. ~This is Omega? I am Sampi.~
~Sampi, shut up and do not tell Omega anything!!~
~I will take these orders into consideration,~ says the Agent? Sampi?, a hole in the world, not just a silence but an anti-sound, the more I focus on him the less I know. He projects the air of someone who feels above anyone and anything else.

He's just watching me. I feel like he's staring inside my body. Sometimes he tilts his head a different way.

~So that's your mission,~ he says, specifically to me, on a direct channel I do not recall opening. ~Interesting.~
~Who are you? What are you?~
~Sampi. Agent. Just like you.~
~(Okay okay this is salvageable this is salvageable Omega has no idea what he can do or what his mission is,)~ leaks Tau as she stands off to the side.

~What is your mission?~ I say on the private channel he opened to me, that I keep trying to close and he keeps finding a way to reopen.
~I was asked very politely not to reveal such things, but...~ I feel a shiver run down my spine. It feels like something crawling through my nerves. ~Yes, very similar, yet not quite.~
~Stop it. Whatever you're doing is making it harder to think.~
~Mhm. I see no reason to stop.~
~Please stop?~
~Hm. No.~ He smiles again. ~You took longer to bake, yet you're already two ahead. Mhm. Yes. Is Tau within the parameters of your mission, Omega?~

>>977718
Flee. These are both rogues, but you can't fight two at once to sterilize or kill either of them. You must report this to the other Agents, then hunt them down in greater numbers so they can be captured and sterilized. Sampi may need to be killed or put in a coma, since he seems to be some kind of mental threat.

Sampi seems dangerous. Leave quickly and continue to try to find Rho. Tau will surely follow and you can seek Rho out by going wherever Tau doesn't want you to go the most.

>>977719
Usurper. This guy has a mission to breed more rogues. Your antithesis. You are entirely within your right to tear him apart.

Unless..
We can come to an understanding?

>>977730
...actually that's an interesting thought. If he's able to screen himself from the Vesselmind... maybe the Rogues can breed their own separate population, and live apart. Like, ACTUALLY apart though, they can't live on the Vessel where they could continue to harm the Vesselmind.

Is he an Agent made by other Agents instead of the Vesselmind? Smug OP asshole.

Punch him in the face, "Is this a good enough reason to stop?!". Grab hold of his neck, tell Tau that if she comes near you you'll rip his throat out, start demanding answers; what is he, what is his mission, was he made by the Vesselmind, does he want to have the threesome with Tau, is he a threat to the Vessel, WATS WRONG WITH YOUR FACE?

>>977718
An enemy fabrication designed for the same task as you.

Tell him that EVERYONE HAS BEEN SO MEAN TO YOU TODAY AND IT IS THE WORST. Almost all of the girls are just SO MEAN.

This obvious Rogue Agent clearly has had it easy in comparison.

Hmm, a threesome wouldn't be bad, but how could Sampi guarantee that Tau would be impregnated by you and not him?

>>977718
Rouge agent must be killed his sack clearly sticks out ready for a bite

>>978712

Not viable. You'd have to lower your head toward his torso, that's a combat move that is much too telegraphed and slow. Attacks from the arms should go to face and upper torso, kicks toward lower part of body if we are instigating violence.

Are we instigating violence? Perhaps something to disrupt his concentration and this effect he's having on us. Attacks to the head? Painful joint locks?

>>977718
well twist neck and ripping off giant hanging ballsack is a viable attack

No. I can't risk this rogue element impregnating an Agent. Mission failure risk too high.
>complain to rogue Agent
I doubt an actively antagonistic rogue will be sympathetic.
>rogue Agents living independently of the Vesselmind
Impermissable.
An Agent is the culmination of the biotechnological secrets known to the Vesselmind and the Vesselmind alone. The Outsiders cannot be allowed such opportunities to learn how our bodies and systems function.
This is also assuming that rogue Agents do not exploit their deep understanding and predetermined links with the Vesselmind to cause harm. A hostile rogue Agent presents a greater threat to the Vesselmind than any Outsider ever could.
The only options for resolving rogue Agents are reintegration, through whatever means, or rendering them unable to interfere with the workings of the Vessel any further.

>your antithesis
>entirely within your right to tear him apart
>seems dangerous
>punch him in the face
>grab hold of his neck
I swing towards his face almost like a reflex action, so disgusted and angered am I at everything this incarnation of error represents.

He quickly dodges me as though he saw it coming a minute ago. ~This was your plan, hm.~
I realise that, despite having basic combat training burned into my neurology before I even first opened my eyes, my combat experience is lacking.
I dive to the ground with the momentum of my failed attack, rolling and launching back up to my feet.

Sampi watches me again, and Tau is circling around us. ~(This is close to the worst situation imaginable, if Sampi is severely injured everything is over, and if Omega is severely injured questions will be asked. Omega must be repelled somehow! I have to intervene, but I can't match Omega in direct strength. Demonstrably clumsy, raw power-- redirect, use momentum against him. Watch for opportunity.)~

Sampi looks to Tau and smiles again, silent.

I charge at Sampi and feint to the left at the last moment. He still dodges me effortlessly, smiling while looking half-asleep.
I spin to smack my tail into him and he steps back a few times, just barely out of my range.
~Are you going to keep uselessly trying to injure me, Omega--~

I lunge at him before letting him finish that thought, and grab him by the shoulders. He's strong, but I'm stronger. He tenses up and I feel a barely suppressed surge of fear resonate within him.
He closes his eyes and sighs, still grinning, but trembling, sweat beading over his head.
~There. You have me. Now what are you going to do?~ He tilts his head towards Tau, who is watching me like a predator waiting for the ideal time to strike their prey.

With the minor psychic echoes I feel around my back and shoulders as I keep a firm grip, I'm suddenly acutely aware that any pain I inflict on him is likely something that I'll experience from the resulting psychic backlash. While I try to think of what to do, I prepare myself for Sampi tearing himself away from my grip and trying to attack.

What I don't expect is Sampi pushing himself forward towards me until our chests push against each other, and then angling his hips so that our gonads press into one another. He grabs my lower back as he squishes his testicles against mine.

~What?~ It's all I can think to ask.
~I'm closing the circuit as tightly as I can. The closer in proximity we are, the stronger psychic pain backlash we'll experience. Your only options are to let me go and back away, or hold onto me but do nothing. I'm holding both of our reproductive capabilities hostage until you let me go. You understand, yes?~

I'm mostly surprised and overwhelmed by this unexpected action. And more than a little alarmed given the sensitive areas involved.

And then I realise there's some extra forces at play, as the contact causes some swelling and hardening of other vital reproductive organs, now pressing into each other. My primal urges to enact violence on the enemies of the Vessel and breed with female Agents are starting to mingle in ways that are bizarre and novel to me, as I envision trying to somehow force this male rival to waste his gametes before he has a chance to use them, rubbing up against him until he's forced to release while being careful not to do the same. Something completely irrational, as I know sperm is quick to replenish, but...

Sampi stares into my eyes more and the previously unsettling gaze is now making me feel a deep fear that I'm now losing a psychological battle I didn't know I was in. I want to look away, but something deep and primal screams at me not to back down from the issued challenge, to lock eyes and stare back.

~You didn't answer my question before, but it doesn't matter. I'm going to impregnate Tau before you can either way,~ says Sampi, continuing to slowly push his genitals against mine.
~You've asked her already?~
~Nothing in my mission definition mentions anything about whether the female Agents have to be willing.~
~You disgust me,~ I snarl, conflicting emotions and sensations of hate, fear, threat-repulsion and unfocused lust kneading my psyche into uncomfortable shapes. ~Agents are not objects for you to use as you please.~
~We are enemies,~ he says, pushing his penis against mine, as the tension between us, sexual and otherwise, builds to painful and terrifying heights. ~Would you be lecturing me like this if I was a female and a valid target, instead of male and a biological threat to your own objectives of insemination? Or would you have already started trying to breed with me?~
I decide not to tell him what my mission says to do to rogue females, but I start wondering if my intent to go through with the forced sterilisation of rogues against their will does make me a hypocrite.

I feel warm slick fluids between us as our lubricants ooze and run down our organs. We maintain a tight grip on each other, in a stalemate. I did not realise I could also be aroused by a male Agent as I could by a female, which I hadn't really thought about, given I thought I was the only male. It would be more appreciated if it was not this particular male Agent, a threat to my mission, the safety of the Vessel, and, I guess, to my status as the sole male Agent. I realise jealousy is at least part of my anger here, but it doesn't change things. This is a rogue Agent, an opponent, an active threat. And now I feel some strange lurching primal fear of inadequacy, as I feel his large testicles pressing into mine, that he might be more fertile and virile than me. I feel like I've already lost in some way.

I suddenly remember Sampi is not the only threat and look around for Tau, and see her staring at the two of us while slowly rubbing her crotch. When she notices me looking at her, she immediately stops, looking incredibly embarrassed. ~I-- uh. (Okay this is fucked up but the two of them are apparently now fighting over me, I don't think I've ever felt anything this intense and charged before, even if it is kind of messed up that I'm a prize here, but I've not had this sort of praise from anyone else even if it is this weird, oh Vesselmind I have no idea how to feel about this and it's weirdly condescending but also incredibly erotic and how am I supposed to feel about this this is weird and strange and I like it but I don't like it and I can't make up my mind and and--)~

I tune out Tau's ongoing mistaken thought stream for the sake of avoiding it overrunning me. Sampi seems incredibly confident and in control for someone who's continuing to push his sex organs up against mine in a desperate gambit. I feel like I need to break away from this situation as it's clearly a deadlock and nothing can happen from here, but how, and while avoiding injury...

>but I start wondering if my intent to go through with the forced sterilisation of rogues against their will does make me a hypocrite.
Absolutely not. It is an important part of your mission and *must* be done to *every* rogue female. Your mission to impregnate females does not require you to impregnate every non-rogue female. You can get consent there. Also the sterilization process is simple. A single bite, over in an instant. Mating is an extended process that an unwilling female will have to endure, likely in a violent fashion, while they are treated as nothing more than an object to be used for pleasure. It is far more traumatic and demeaning than your bite. At worst they will feel harshly punished for actions they feel were justified.

>what do?
Grapple him further. He's smaller than you, so you could try carrying him to the others. Tau may try to stop you, but backlash should be enough of a deterrent to allow you to keep going.
Alternatively you could fuck him in the ass to establish dominance, and if he lets down his guard enough for a good grapple and pin you could consider biting him to sterilize him, eliminating the threat of rogue reproduction. In fact, if he can be sterilized, he could serve as a way for females to feel the pleasure of sex without fear of reproduction. A useful role.

This is how you win, first grab his hips. Then kiss him as you grind your dick against his until orgasm.

Fuck his ass, assert dominance

Fuck his ass, assert dominance

And order tau to sit on his face so he can put his tongue to better use

Oh, I realized that my suggestion is somewhat hypocritical if he doesn't want to get fucked in the ass, so let's give him an out: you won't do it if he gives up and allows himself and Tau to be sterilized. Though maybe he'd still want dick rubbings, he doesn't seem to be objecting to that, and it could make a decent contest of sexual endurance.

>>983111
Pain doesn't need to be the sole motivator in a deadlock. It's a good one, but not your only tool. You're stronger and heavier, use that.
Don't give him leverage, but open his stance up with a shift of yours. Get your knee inside his legs and make him bend. A quick knock won't hurt but it will make him buckle. As he's off-balance, he won't have the equal footing to counter your size and force. It's downhill for him as you force him down to the floor. Restrain him from there.

Or ya know, bite him. Give him the same gift Delta gave you on your introduction to domination since his hands are tied and you're already familiar to the pain. Plus venom. Don't forget that.

>>983111
Clearly you must show off how adaptable you are, go on and play this lewd domination game of his, it will make for good training later against any possible other rogues either way...definitely play to win though.

Try to goad Tau into losing control and giving you an edge by flipping Sampi's tail up

>>983111
fuck his ass, make him humble!
Or maybe we could be friends? Make out with him.

But seriously remind him that, while yes hurting him will hurt us , that pain is temporary, so if we were to rip his throat out with our teeth we would only have to deal with the pain until he dies.

So he has two options; either he and tau can both submit to sterilization and then we can all have some fun or we kill him and then deal with tau.
Tell him this while making out. You know to distract him. and to show him we were serious about having fun

>deadlock
Hmm. Technically you could break away and report the problem to other agents. Delta would be able to handle him but, it would probably be too much for you to deal with Delta again so soon, so other options should be considered here first.

Now, given the problem of feedback, you two can't really hurt each other. Alternatively, if you tried to make him orgasm, it would likely cause you to orgasm as well due to feedback, even if your efforts were entirely one-sided. At least so far there's no evidence that you could make someone orgasm without achieving the same yourself. Therefore, trying to dominate him would likely not solve the deadlock.

Hmm, what other options are there? The Omega-Sampi pairing won't work. But there are two other pairings. Omega-Tau and Sampi-Tau. Either of these could work. For instance, if Sampi for some reason let you near Tau, you could impregnate or sterilize her. But he already said that he would impregnate her before you, so I don't think he would simply agree to let you near her. The Sampi-Tau pairing... if you let them do it with each other, you could stand back far enough for the feedback to not affect you too much, but then she would get impregnated, which you already said that you don't want to risk.

>the two of them are fighting over me
I feel that this is an important clue here, but I'm not certain what to do with it. I'm assuming that (unless I'm dumb and some other clue flew over my head) the clue implies that you could make some sort of a deal with the two, to use their competitiveness for your benefit, but the problem is that you don't know what Tau's goals are. Why would she be fighting with Sampi over you? Without knowing that, it's hard to guess what she'd agree to. Anyway, what kind of a deal could you make?
Well, the deal would probably involve some sort of a competition (sexual or otherwise) between the two of them, and the prize would probably be you, since they're fighting over you.
So for instance, we could make a deal where the terms would be that two of them would try to get each other to orgasm without impregnation (with you watching), and the winner then gets to have his way with you. Of course, there's plenty of options for trickery here, but what's important is that the end result would be that both of them would be disabled and safe to sterilize, assuming that the orgasm knocks them both out at the same time. But even if it doesn't, the situation would still be a lot more favorable, instead of the current 1v2, it would be 1v1, with the other party very close to the edge and easy to finish off. An obvious problem here is getting them to agree to such a thing. You'd probably need to allow them to tie you up or something, which would not sit well with you. But who knows.

I'm probably overthinking this and the obvious solution to the current situation is simply to look for a weak point, touching Sampi all over his body until you find something that gets a good reaction. Maybe doing so would disrupt his feedback-giving ability. Or perhaps he's simply unable to provide any at the height of the orgasm.

>>983111
SUPLEX

Wait I've got a better idea! Push him to the floor and ride his dick till he cums then keep going, he'll either surrender to get us to stop or he'll end up too exhausted to fight back when we sterilize him and he won't have any semen to impregnate Tau cause all of it will be in us and we can't get pregante. It's the ultimate power move!

Is there a reason we havent called Delta over and had her reduce both of them to constituent proteins?

Also kiss him and give him a shot of venom.

Push yourself even closer to Sampi and grab his ass with both hands... Then suddenly bend your knees, haul him up off the ground and carry him outta here as fast as you can to Rho.

>>983326
What if we do this we push the male to the floor ride his dick and fuck the female ontop this way we are not wasting our genetic material while he is

>>983111
You need to up your confidence. Assert dominance. Push back against him.
"Why must we be enemies?"
The second he begins to respond, SLAP YOUR HANDS ON HIS ASSCHEEKS
If he's surprised by this, push him down onto the ground and sit on top of him (not on his dick, his chest) to immobilize him!
Regardless of whether that works, say
"I am not here to attack you or Tau. That is not part of my mission."
if possible begin stroking Sampi's cock, then look to Tau
"Do you have lustful feelings for each other?"

If they do, make them an offer: You can sterilize them, and then leave them alone, not telling anyone of Sampi. Part of your mission is to sterilize rogues - not report them to Delta. They can have each other, and you can continue on your way.

In the end, I'd say sterilizing Sampi is much more important than sterilizing Tau. A female rogue agent can't impregnate other female agents.

Can someone do a recap of this whole story into a few subjects?
