Galbaara, I told you we don't play games here on earth!

"I'm sorry to hear that mortal, but you have to or your race becomes that of the prehistoric reptiles on your planet- Extinct!"

Why are you doing this to us!? What have Earthlings ever done to you that warrents these charrades!?

"It amuses me how you do not understand what is happening. You, the "Earthlings" are a race that has reached it's peak. In order to survive you need to choose a single creature of another race to play in my games. If your "champion" survives to conquer my challenges your race is saved from utter annihilation. And if he or she loses... well, you know. If you don't choose a race soon, I will have to prematurely wipe your peoples out of existence. I will know when you decide- so hurry or you may end up dead.

Potentials
>Astranian
>Scellor
>Doobie
>Cutebold
>Nevrean
>Tozol
>Other

Don't suppose you know what kind of games these are?

Astranians have the best technology but they tend to freak out if they're alone. Or if they're in a group.

Scellor might have access to wacky or amazing psionic resources unless you grab a non-sentient, or if there's no scellor in this galaxy. Then you're boned.

Doobies are good at everything. But then you'll owe your lives to doobies. I'm just saying.

Cutebolds are the best at

Nevreans have the most feathers of any option by far.

Tozols are good at turning things inside out but have the diplomatic acumen of a velociraptor wearing a strap-on. Also they probably don't have Spiral Energy, which seems like it might be important here.

Other is the most powerful race, that said, go beat up a nev

From what he's told us these "games" of his are death matches designed to test a beings whits and strength. Some of which can include puzzles or brawling matches. We are not sure how difficult they are or what opposition we face, but chances are if we pick one race, we will face the others soon enough. What we need is a strong fighter, who isn't lacking on the mental prowess. Hopefully with the brains they will be equipped with the right gear aswell... but it seems that each race is abundant in one and lacking in the other.

Tozol. 100%.

Cutebold

Tozol, they are very smart, (if unused to puzzles) and are worth a platoon of any of the other races in combat. they are also not a bad race to be in debt to as they will probably just ask for resources and to be left alone.

Sir, what was that thing?

I have no idea, Tozol- Do you think you can get more information on that creature?

...no... don't know it, don't want to fight it...

Captain, if we collect more information on it we might be able to capture it alive and have it fight for us.

Good idea, Tozol- I will not force you to chase it down but it is suggested we learn more about it. But the other hostile target is getting close.

...what do i do, chase it down? fight shield user? priorities are...what...

>____

I think the host of this game has his own creature in the running. And apparently hes rigged it. I say we kill the shield user to get the two running from it on our side so we can team up.

Priority is learn why you are here, and the nature of this area, via interrogation if necessary. Priority two is to take control of your environment and bend the facility to your will, using guns hopefully. Priority three is to rip Galbaaras a new one for fucking with you and threatening us with omnicide if we don't fuck with you.

head into the big room. if it comes down to it, you can use the grinder on 6 to guarantee destruction.

I think that's a chimera.

That's a Synx.

Wait, what happened to the nazi you were fighting?

What shield user?

Looks like 4 and 5 are working together, or just running away from 6. You should move down to face them to avoid being surrounded.

>______

Everything it has is facing forward, so get behind it. The pack on its back is most likely a vulnerable spot if you can pierce the shield.

Move back into the cover of the hallway. That disintegrator on its left shoulder could even destroy you in one shot.

get it near the grinder then use MAX SPEED to dance around it and then shove it in.

>>429440
Note that it can likely disintegrate your cover, so don't stand where it's obvious; Move well back from the corner.

Once it moves near the corner, make a running jump over it's field of fire, rebound off the far wall, and get behind it. Slice it's giant fuck-off cannon off, en route to sheathing your blades in its back, and performing a horizontal bifurcation.

Leave that nazifur alone, and go get that synx. And by get, I mean kill. Permanently. In several pieces. And set those pieces on fire. A chimera synx is easier to destroy, harder to avoid, and creepier than even a poorly armed Astranian. Don't try to reason with it, since it will just puke out its stomach and try to digest you on the spot. Extremely flexible, not very fast, designed to mutilate and incapacitate. Don't let it swallow you.

backflip and throw blade directly into the frontal orb of that heavy weapon.

You know there has to be a hole in the shield where that gun is, at the very least while it is firing. DO you think your fast enough to get to it and stab through it to the wearer?

Welp, humanity is doomed. Way to go, fatty.

Dodge left while turning to face him, then sprint full speed past his left side. Slice one prong off shorty's giant fuck-off cannon as you pass, while saying "goodbye."

use your heat channels to dump all the heat into a wall.

and they can be useful for like, multiple switches need to be used at the same time in order to activate something.

Better not have them follow you; Tozols tend to attract gunfire and explosions, which these two wouldn't take well. Though, you may need their help later, so tell them to wait in the grinder room, and to run if anyone but you comes.

If your head is still on fire, ask the bird-like one for his clothing, or to clasp his giant hands around your head, to smother it.

It's not just to put the flame out I don't need to catch something that i'm not immune to.

Oh, i see..

Alright, also i can't have you tagging along either.

Now hold on, you listen. I'm not going into some dangerous room without someone to protect me. Plus i'm getting tired of running for my life all the time-

Hey, get off me!

I know that you are some sort of super soldier thing, probably like waiting for your skin to heal. But i also know a place that can fix you faster

...then you two will show me where it is.

I'm not showing you anything unless you promise to let me stick along with you no matter what happens, if you don't promise you don't get to find the healing room. Do you promise?

they can come but you are NOT jumping in front of death rays or something stupid like that to protect them. if a fight starts they gotta take care of themselves.

pretty much this.
Why the hell aren't you wearing your helmet, ever since you took it of, everything has hit you in the face, and every good soldier knows not to remove your helmet in a combat situation. unless it fucks with your peripheral vision, and its a *tozol* helmet, so it shouldn't.

She is doing well in head on kills, but she can't concentrate well enough for assasinations.

...who are you, how do you know that i'm a tozol?

I know everything- i know about you, i know about the kobold, all the astranians running around. I even know that his game is Un-winnable. I know everything because I am one of the first chosen for this game. One of the first survivors of this death maze. I know because unlike you- who are fresh and new- i had to kill everyone that ever walked these halls in my time and was still afraid of those few that the game master set here to crush me.

So he does cheat. Does he also go back on his word. Did the race sponsoring you get destroyed?

he didn't win, he just didn't lose.

>>432276

Do you feel like you've been annihilated? As long as we're still transmitting the tozol hasn't lost. This is not a good sign however. Tozols while immensely powerful are not quite immortal, and even in groups they have difficulty maintaining a stable population. If the game really is literally un-winnable we should indeed have gone with the doobie, for at least he can never be defeated, thus delaying our race's annihilation interminably. Bringing a tozol into this was clearly a fatal mistake. We strategized to win, not to survive a war of attrition.

rules of the game first, then, is *everything* here sponsored, or are there some here just sent to kill? (is the synx working for another race?)

you won by defeating all those who entered the game with you, but were trapped, so you did *win*. so we now know that participating in the game is unanimously futile. it seems the only true win-win scenario is to actively work towards the survival of a maximal number of participants, excluding aggressors, postponing permanently this game in which winning douse not matter, and loss does. we can work from there forward.

>rules of the game

...rules?... there are no...wait, now that i think about it rules do apply here. The main one is survival... but then there is some sort of puzzle aspect... If you haven't found out yet, you will- everything that requires a switch or activation has a more...interesting way of activation. Anything that needs to get started will be connected to flesh render engines. These are mechanisms that turn living bodies into energy. An example is the regeneration tank, it has a sort of blender that it's connected to- and it requires that you throw a live being into it to work.

>is everything sponsored here
There are only five beings that were put here by the gamemaster- and you haven't come into contact with them...

>you won by defeating all those who entered the game with you, but were trapped, so you did *win*
...No, that is wrong. I did not lose, but i did not kill everyone that started with me. As i said before he had sent people strong enough to crush me with no effort at all

>we now know that participating in the game is unanimously futile
>seems the only true win-win scenario is to actively work towards the survival of a maximal number of participants
>postponing permanently this game in which winning douse not matter, and loss does. we can work from there forward.

...you are not really understanding. I will start from the beginning, when I began we were given no rules... no information, other then you are meant to survive or die. The obvius way to win this is to kill everyone else and be the last man standing, and that still applies. I am not the last man standing, and i never was... when i say i killed all those who walked these halls i mean the contestants who are killable. I strangled children to make sure i was the last one to walk outside- but do you know what was waiting for me? Five... five people, one of them a krobin that i know well... This game is built in a way that you must either kill mercilessly or die trying. You cannot advance into other areas of the compound unless you are willing to throw corpses into grinding machines.

This game is un winnable not because there aren't any more people to kill, it is because The last Five Beings are of godlike strength or abilities. I cannot win this game because i cannot fight them and hope to survive... just like when i was back home- i cannot fight Vicious and win because his heritage is too strong... I gave up going home, because it is impossible...

this tozol is a soldier. soldiers know that you never assume the situation is impossible, because by doing so, by giving up, you have written a self fullfilling prophecy.so. we cant kill these demigods. where they empowered by the game master, or are does their power belong to them? the worst case scenario is this is all fuile, we are doomed. that is unacceptable. the best case scenario is to free any and all possible from this game, which would include those five. so that is what we should work towards, untill further notice. we need information on the five, everything you know, because they are literaly the only ones capable of breaking this prison. a tozol is not naturaly a diplomat, but it is likely we will have to work with these demigods, possibly even manipulate them.

we need to get these five beings to team up and destroy the game.

...that's right, one of them is a tozol...

I...uh...

Alright mister superhero, I'll tell you what i know about these five. All of them are incredibly powerful, so don't be offended if i don't think you can accomplish beating them or convincing them to do anything. I'll start with the one that's the same race as you. Yes, it is a tozol- but i've killed tozols before... though not as well as they tried killing me, anyway. This ... thing, it's not like you, it's more a force of nature the way it acts. This tozol is crazed and is more beast then sentient lifeform. I'll warn you, it may be the same as you or even the exact similarity- but it has no concept of self preservation... it will hunt you down like a machine, whether it's almost dead or not.

The next one on the list is part of my race. I'm a krobin, krobin are like... i guess tree people would be how i can explain it. We have the same weaknesses as foliage (being flammable and having issues with no moisture), but we are born with the ability to commune with nature and sometimes can be given special powers granted to us by our gods. This is called heritage, mine is the power to dodge bullets. Vicious, who your enemy will be, has the ability to manipulate landscapes, he can also create it.
The third one is some sort of cosmic being known as Lucifer... I think he's the one that caused the tozol to become what it is... Lucifer has some powers i can't even begin to explain because i don't understand them myself.
I have never met the fourth one... never, supposedly stronger then the previous three...
The last one is the game master himself, galbaara... well, he has the power to control fate and circumstance... When i said he's a liar, what i meant was that he's lying when he takes credit for the destruction of certain races. He really waits for something to happen, say some sort of local world shattering calamity or space invasion, and what he does is he alters the events in a way that they are prolonged... until the chosen champion dies, then he lets whatever happens happen- but I also believe that he's able to change things in a way that averts or redirects those things too.


...So galbaaras isn't destroying stuff...

Not a chance, well mister superhero- now that you are armed with information... seems your big fan wants you to have a super hero title

what?

You have a mask on, you're gonna need a cape, and a really cool super hero name. What are you gonna call yourself?

what are you telling me.

...I'm telling you another thing that makes this game unwinnable... it's how it breaks your will to fight...

...I will never break down or give in, whatever you're going to say make it quick.

...alright... as i said, i'm not representing my home... someone else was. I didn't find out until the generation after mine.

...

A cuddle, filled with hysterics, made it to this room... while i was sitting in this chair. His name was buzz, and right before he committed suicide by jumping right into this very pit he said something- something that put kept me in that chair for a very long time.

...i'm no longer interes-

"It's gone, all gone. The sky is birdless, the streets filled with echoes, the sunflowers... all gone. It's a perfect place-to hold a race-where all my friends long forgotten."

It could have been lyi-

Vicious told me himself, that a volto rigged a bio bomb large enough to destroy all life on the planet. As much as I hate him, i know he is telling me honestly... her name is nails.

who

scribble on the arm of the chair, it's the other person...

If he is planning on sacrificing himself, tell him he should probably at least wait. A damaged face is unpleasant, but not that debilitating to tozols, and we are apparently in this for the long haul.

there may be a way for humanity to save itself despite the game being rigged, if we can find whatever event is being put on pause and shut it down ourselves we can probably survive independent of the games outcome. we should still try and stop this however, galbaara is not something I would like to leave alive.

>_________

outward spiral, earth.

Wait, we already have space colonies? A planet sized bio-bomb wouldn't wipe out our race then. Is he just talking about humans on Earth, or all humans?

Places to look:
* Cuddle bee homeworld. It's been wiped obviously, but this Galbaara is somehow connected to it so there may be clues how he did it or found out about it.
* Lucifer is totally a guy we have heard of before. Aliens may have ancient records of if anyone or anything trashed our planet around 6000BC.

>>433736
If you have colonies then there aren't many ways to wipe you out. The two that spring to mind are a disease which could be biological or technological, or some sort of extermination campaign.

For a disease, limit travel and transport between biospheres, and more importantly delay all transport so symptoms are more likely to manifest. Have colonies become as self-sufficient as possible.
Technological diseases can be worked around several ways. Diversify your technology - start having different colonies switch over to tech from different species, and conduct research on different designs that will be incompatible with each other and existing tech. Humans are really, really good at building systems that are incapable of working together - we basically can't not do it!

Most important of all? Start establishing new colonies comprised of as many alien races as possible all over the place. Diseases can't spread via completely alien biology, so herd immunity would be out in force in a diverse community. That would make every person on those colonies nigh-immune to a plague and eliminate the problem of having nobody healthy enough to tend to the ill.

As a side benefit? Anybody who attacked a mixed-species colony to kill humans would be declaring war on all those species as well. That's about the best anti-extinction protection you can get without actually knowing what it is you're facing.
Since the other species would gain the same benefits of these colonies they'll likely be amenable to the proposal.

Human is the puritan term for our species. We mostly use that term along with earthling here on earth because it reminds us of our ancestors of long ago. We have solar colonies all over, and they call themselves solars because of their birth. It's mostly subjective what we call ourselves based on politics, but we all are the same species.

Take a cue from the Galactic Patrol: send your own moon to meet it. Or your own planet. Several, in fact. At relativistic speeds. Find some nickel-iron lumps nobody wants from nearby systems, strap some oversized drives to them and accelerate them along a reciprocal of the least-time course from Black Rose to Earth.

"Well sir, let us do this, and that and this then abit of nothing...."

"What is that samson? i did not understand what the suggestion was based on what was offered... probably because i'm a G.I. Joe with only one arm..."

"Gasp, and i just realized that i'm a sock monkey- what do we do now?"

"Quickly, now that we realize that the folks of /quest/ are as dense as a bag of potatoes lets hide in the toybox!"

why do i even bother.

do everything, at the same time.

Quick, realize your own self hatred is the reason you see so much fault in others, and instead chill and draw whatever you enjoy, without any crushing depression!

I use my hipster feng shui to calm my inner peace. Now that my peace is inner calmed i will try to present this in an easier way for the audience to consume.

"But Sir, we cannot do everything at once- we have to focus on one thing at a time!"

"Like what?"

"Well, it's either fire another asteroid kitty-wumpus into space having it pass out of the barious space field no longer giving us a chance to hack into it; or to have both our techs attmept to hack into it to insert a drone into it before to attempt to take it out from the inside. But the downside for this one is that the barious field helped us aim properly with the asteroid rails"

>__________

Um... If you are feeling depressed it is ok to take a break from quest authoring, but I am genuinely interested in seeing this quest continue at some point.

Well we already tried the asteroid and even with the barious field it missed, so lets give hacking a shot.
Also ask the AI would it accept our surrender, we are not really going to surrender but it might buy us some time.

ONLY GALBAARA CAN SAVE US NOW

uh... well- I... i have no idea why you are surrendering, i'm going to come over there and break down your molecules to use as building blocks for my nanites. absolutely nothing will be spared... nice of you to offer though- never had anyone surrender before

"sir, the drone is successful. It's up to either the champ or the drone to take this thing down."

>you may continue the story as either the drone or the tozol, which do you choose?

>>436068
Tozols are capable of acting on their own, so lets go with the drone.

Also:
"Wait, you want to break things down for molecules, and you're headed here? You have to pass right by trillions of times more resources on the way here than our solar system could possibly provide. Hell, for organic compounds Sagittarius B2 alone has three million times the mass of our entire solar system in just that, and last I checked there isn't anybody who would bother fighting over it.
Send us a list of what you need and we can tell you better places to get what you want."

The Tozol probably isn't going to be making much progress in the game, so let's go with the drone.

Drone!

Also the AI said that it was "programmed with the gremlin commands, these entail dominate, integrate and assimilate."

Lets keep working on our fake surrender angle and ask about these commands, can we only be dominated and integrated? Is there really need for assimilation.

Do we have any alliances with other races? Can we call for help or are we going to have to face this thing by ourselves?

Kilobyte is hungry for molecular building blocks... and souls

Well now- it seems I have made it inside the enemy ship... why do I have personality protocols? Asside from minor trouble in repurposing the nanites, insertion is a succes. I have lost connection from the origin computer... but it seems the complexity of these nanites shows that if more then a small splash of them are connected they can think independantly... It is an odd thing to be able to create commands instead of execute them... What would my next command tree be? What do i compute? I need input for my next actions.

we seem to have an organic over there. greet her but be wary, my shoot you out of reflex. explain you are part of a operation to stop this thing.

Hello organic, I mean you no harm. I am here to h- BLARGARGAGAR!?

good thing you are an amorphous mass that doesn't actually have a head. and i did warn you of attacks. turn into a puddle and keep talking.

Break off into two parts, the smallest of wich will try to communicate with the robot, the rest will retreat to a safe distance and Engage repair protocols

>>437195
"RESCUE MISSION! I'm here to help!"

>>437199
being a single mass is the only reason this part can think.

No wait, i'm here to help... oh there are two of you.... I was sent by, uh... someone to come save you two from this ship.

... Still looks funny, might be a trap.[i]

[i] Not much we can do about a mass of jello, helena. I could step on it but i don't think that's gonna help us much.

Wait, i'm serious! I'm trying to hack the AI and take control of the ship.

well... it's not really all artificial.

It's biological? Spiritual? Extradimenisonal? AHH THREAD END

Is that an orb of psyche?
