Of course I remember everything. I wasn’t drunk drunk after all; my body can take care of the alcohol faster than I can possibly consume it. Instead, my brain implant simulated being drunk for… well, the sake of being drunk, really.

:ErinKAK: Hey, we all make choices. Now, what’s this about the radio?
:VoiddaggerKAK: Well… Jara was able to record some of their communications before they switched frequencies and blew up the radio tower she was using. Don’t worry; it was located on the other side of the city for safety reasons. But here, listen to these three messages and say what you think…

:UnknownKAK: Message to: Jake Armitage. From: Susan Morgani.
:UnknownKAK: Jake, this is Susan. Have you seen the news? I can’t believe you actually let a few of those things escape! You’re lucky only one of them survived but if you’re wrong about this it’s your head that will roll. Oh, and about the planetary annihilation plan, you said it wouldn’t work but I think we should still keep it as a last resort. If anything it will buy us time to run. Susan out.

:UnknownKAK: Message to: Elatros Wyrmeye. From: Jake Armitage.
:UnknownKAK: This is Jake, the samples from Z4 have been sent as you requested. The sample of the… thing is going to A.Inc and the sample of the TransMachina is going to w.port for weapon testing. I hope you’re happy… we quite literally had to open hell for these…

:UnknownKAK: Message to: Elatros Wyrmeye. From: Elatros Wyrmeye.
:UnknownKAK: …Erin? …should I even call you Erin? Because I’m pretty sure you aren’t Erin any longer… I know that you’re listening… and I want to ask you one thing. Why are you listening to them? This isn’t some conspiracy about monetary gain… this is about us… humanity… and our future. I simply ask you, please, don’t listen to them… their only goal is to bring us all to ruin… to exterminate our species… I… I can’t talk any longer, my men is almost at the radio tower… but Erin… they whisper terrible things… please, don’t li- *Sqreeesh*

Uhhh... what? Oh! They think you got taken over by the things that want steel over flesh- the anomaly in that memory recording. Sounds like a robot rebellion to me. Nanite rebellion? No, that's the TransMachina. There's something else in play. A "thing", that isn't the TransMachina. That's just a bioweapon, probably being developed to fight the "thing".

Tell Voiddagger that the situation has escalated and you need answers now. He isn't telling you something. You overheard him while you were in the shower- he's got some sort of deal with Dyne, and some "drastic measures".

Aside from that I think we should go to Armitage Inc, to find out what the "thing" is.

>Oh and out of those three people other than Susan do we know who the other 2 are?
:VoiddaggerKAK: Susan Morgani is the C.E.O of the Morgani at the moment, Jake Armitage is the chief scientist of Armitage inc., a company owned by Morgani and Elatros Wyrmeye… well, I’m pretty sure you’ve seen him on those poster they got everywhere. He’s the “Advisor” of Susan, whatever that means.

>on the bright side we now have 2 locations to hit A.Inc and W.port.
:ErinKAK: Armitage inc. and… um…
:VoiddaggerKAK: He mentioned weapon testing and I found a Morgani owned testing facility named W-452 porticalus… no idea what that names means but it seems to fit. Plus we saw a very heavily armed convoy going there just a few hours ago. Likewise we spotted one going for Armitage inc. too.
:ErinKAK: So… those two are our next target?
:VoiddaggerKAK: Probably, yes.

>Tell Voiddagger that the situation has escalated and you need answers now. He isn't telling you something.
:VoiddaggerKAK: W-what? I’ve told you everything, I swear! Don’t you trust me?
:ErinKAK: Then what was that whole “does she suspect anything” you talked about while I was in the shower?
:VoiddaggerKAK: W-wha? You eavesdropped on us?
:ErinKAK: Um… it was an accident… and you haven’t answered the question yet!
:VoiddaggerKAK: Well… um… we were talking about Susan… Dyne is still doing business with the Morgani and… well… they have no idea he’s helping us, alright?
:ErinKAK: So… what’s the Morgani really up to? I mean, Planetary Annihilation? That’s a bit extreme!
:VoiddaggerKAK: Yes… it seems we’re a bit over our heads, doesn’t it… but I have no idea what’s really going on, the only thing I know is that we need to warn the Empire about this.

Say that his implants got hacked by SOMETHING immediately after listening to the radio recordings, so there might be some warware hidden in the signal. Ask if they have a crypto specialist that can look it over.

Also, point out that with Morgani owning the world it's likely they've stuck backdoors in all implants produced there, and possibly all implants legally imported. See about arranging for future implants to be private work or black market imports.

Don't forget I've had my head and body worked over. And it's possible old me did more to Nev than just mindwipe him. We might have had our own special backdoors put in. More plausible than hacking implants with no mental access.

...doesn't even have to be direct electronic control. It could have psychological components. If you were conditioned or brainwashed the right way, all the hacker would have to do is send a signal or code to trigger preprogrammed stuff.

>It’s like taking control over a computer by changing the desktop background!
Theoretically the desktop thing is possible if the image file contains a virus that (to simplify) tricks the image parser with a false image end tag part of the way through, followed by the virus content which is then parsed as code. That sort of thing is based on manipulation of digital formatting though, so it probably wouldn't extend to biological systems.
And that is probably aside from the point, as mod control probably wouldn't make him glow red unless he has a mod that makes him glow for some reason.

Ah frig, it isn't his implants at all it's his biology that got hacked. Look there's someone named Alynna see and she can control biologicals with her spooky magic powers. Yes magic is real how else are we talking to you? We "sort of killed" her a zillion years ago with the help of a bug named Clkrlgb, but she's about as hard to kill as we are. Now she's back for revenge, against Clkrlgb, and by extension all life in existence.

Which doesn't make sense since Clkrlgb was dead the whole time. But that's crazy megalomaniacs for you.

Your best hope of stopping a catastrophe is to find Alynna where she's no doubt gathering power to improve signal strength to planetwide. Morgani probably know something about it. Barring that, completely cyberize everyone to 100%, becoming a society of cogs and steel, which she has no power over.

Nev's entire body started radiating some sort of red light, while he was suddenly filled with an overwhelming need to strangle us. Heightened metabolism or something, it was even overloading his implants. Some sort of hormonal mind control, possibly triggered by listening to an intercepted communication. Right before it hit he started babbling something about revenge without being aware he was saying anything in between his sentences.

The nano machines from hell were unrelated, that sort of purple goop we found trailing away from the slaughter of those Morgani agents. Probably unrelated. He wasn't covered in purple goop when he was trying to strangle us with his weak baby muscles.

Ask who else knew where the data stick was. Also it wouldn't hurt for someone to look into why the Cogs were going after the same data we were. They seem to be a dangerous cult with plans to wipe out... people not like them, so we can't let them get access to what Morgani is developing.

I think we could take a quick trip over to the mining town while Wiz processes the data we retrieved, and head over to Armitage Inc afterwards.

Ask what that weird message Nev got was, and see if he can give us the exact phrasing.

The monster that ate the car is likely the TransMachina, who... oh. Wanna bet what happened to you happened to Haran too? Or something similar, at any rate? He might be in control of the TransMachina, but he had a memory backup of the old Erin and knows she was a traitor, so he'd want to avoid places Erin would know about. I think this fits our data. The TransMachina knows stuff Haran knows, and is acting like Haran would act, except for the whole smileyface thing on corpses I guess. Though, come to think of it, if he has a "fragmented AI" like us with him... smiley faces on the corpses does seem like the sort of amusing psychological warfare we might come up with. Granted, all of this is circumstantial evidence and profiling, no hard evidence for it. I'd really like to get some footage of the TransMachina in action, or try to communicate with it somehow.

Also, what does Nev know about the Cog ideology? What do they want to accomplish? What do they admire, what do they hate?

Doing it to Jara needed my complete concentration, so two people at once is a no go. As for range… let’s not use my friends as test subjects, shall we? It would be rude…

..I have never seen a lizards eye's change without magical control, damn that's scary!

We are quite old though..Our first host was around when they were still using swords and metallic armor back before the rise to the surface.

She gave him confidence while they were testing her powers a bit, he kissed her and then after that he asked her to teach him how to kiss.

Nothing that would warrant you going Lizard Rage on her for!

you wouldn't believe us if we told you who our first host was but quick question do you still go by eras or not like first era, second, third?

Oh and the reason they're kissing is because Erin while trying her new powers boasted Serki's confidence and then he just kissed her. Once that weared off he kinda had a panic attack until Erin said it was fine and then he kinda asked if he could do it again. You know if you care about this sort of thing at all or not.

*To both* Hold on ladies, how do you think Serki is gonna feel if two of his friends are about to beat each other senseless? It's gonna harm him to know that you all will hurt yourselves over his sake.

Not to mention you might hurt him in the onslaught, this is a small room, and we know one of you is a grade A badass that'll turn this room around

As well as the fact of the matter is Jara, that you are effectively trying to take away his choice, that you don't trust him to make his own decisions, sure you don't want him to get hurt but if he wants to make a decision it's his own choice regardless of what you think.

Your loose morals, wacky personality, and high libido remind me quite a lot of Lizbeth. It's almost like you're a reincarnation of her... Seriously, stop using your power on your friends. She learned right from wrong for the most part, so can you.

I thought those transmissions we overheard confirmed that Morgani created the transmachina?

Anyway, tell them about your conversation with the colony. I don't think the AI was really strong enough to handle the stress after all, because it was pretty fucking crazy. It seemed to be relying on Haran's brain structure to guide its actions, which means that the colony was probably using it as a crutch to handle the stress. It was compelled to inject metal eggs into people, which is like a mantis breeding instinct. It wanted to kill morgani personnel, which was probably Haran's idea. It wanted to keep bodies alive, which is again a misinterpretation of something Haran wanted. Not that I'm saying Haran was in there somewhere, though. The colony was definitely NOT behaving like it had any sort of lucidity.

So basically to sum up, transmachina AI isn't strong enough by its own to handle changing their own programming. They require an organic brain.

"Released us into this torment?" But, we broke the vessel in part to stop the torment of the souls/Aether forms within being used for fuel. These voices must have been part of the Vessel but not in the fuel, so... yeah, my theory on their origin seems to be holding up, except for the Mother part. Mother is sounding more like the Vessel itself, now. Also, the Vessel pieces weren't completely destroyed apparently? Well, regardless, I think part of our end goal this time is to find a way to free these extra voices from their torment.

See if you can find out who the makers of rust and woodsy lords are. Also, you could bring up with Kyra that she can't find the guidance AI but it clearly exists. Or, something like one does, anyway.

Also hang out with Jara, ask her if she has her eye on any guys. Does she like Nev? Tyros?

Oh, we could ask Nev to unban the "spammer", since that was us and we might need to get in his head at some point. Hmm, ask him exactly what connection protocols that ban works on.

Oh, speaking of your sex life, what are your feelings on the ladies present? Got your eye on any of them? Aside from Erin, I mean. That's really obvious.

Please don't keep clucking like a chicken. Also, don't tell him that his wife is still alive but apparently bodiless... somehow? Morgani seems to be... doing that to people. It's up to you if you want to tell him that she's alive, but keep in mind at this point we don't know if it's possible to put her back in a body. It might be best if he thinks they are dead, for now. Uh, we didn't check to see if the rest of his family is alive, fyi.

Also apparently Tyros's wife is the only one who isn't completely dead. Wait, we hadn't told you about that, had we. Uh, whatever Morgani is doing, it's separating people's Aether forms from their bodies. Ezyla's Aether form- oh fuck it, I'm just gonna call it a soul from now on- her SOUL is split up into multiple locations. They are mostly in Armitage Inc. She is technically still alive, though!

Aw, you didn't even think to try an empathic feedback loop during? Well, maybe next time. Mention it to Kyra too, 'cause she'd be all over being your test subject for that. She'd probably come up with some automatic safeties, just in case it spiraled out of control.

Message back Nev to say you'll be over right after you shower, and that you really don't mind if he calls you "gorgeous."

Oh, and before you go, ask Kyra if, when she was installing your new genitals, she set them to fire only blanks. Just to know if you have a 100% absolute guarantee of no consequences when you finally get around to a female of your own species. (...Like that's ever gonna happen...)

Also lookup if the points we've been getting back for Ezlya correspond to any known map or coordinate system. Maybe we can figure out where point Z4 is.

Relax Serki, we're Erin's mind-hopping "Shattered Guidance AI" that probably isn't a Guidance AI. Unfortunately it looks like Erin's other two anomalies have latched onto us and came along with the switch. Meet fleshvoice and steelvoice, introduced into Erin by Purity and the Cogs respectively, then pacified by Erin defeating the things they controlled to attack her. That was Nevros and the Transmachina, respectively.

I didn't want to let any of her friends know about these guys but I guess you'll be the first to know. I'm not sure what's going on with them myself. I thought that the only reason we could hear them is because we were just picking up a broadcast signal or something, but if they can follow us when we switch hosts, then they must be as much a part of Erin as we are. Which, honestly, I'm not sure about anymore.

Yeah, they made Erin horny. Not that that's the only reason why she was interested in you, you're kindof adorable. That's a cute bath robe, by the way. Anyway, it was a plan by the fleshvoice to "infest" the first person she slept with. It didn't work, though, apparently they were too weakened by the recent fight with the transmachina.

We know she's been fragmented, and the largest collection of nodes is at Armitage, but nothing substantial beyond that. Our research is based on asking the right questions, so it's all about creativity and insight. It's not a fast process.

She seems to like Serki a lot but their history is getting in the way.

On the subject of Erin's horndogness... Actually, one of the ass-voices was making her like that. She should be a bit less eager now, probably?

Kyra likes Nev too. Really, I think we could work towards pairing Nev up with Kyra and Serki with Jara, but that leaves Erin with nobody. I think Nev could be happy with Erin and Kyra has already said she doesn't want to commit to a relationship, so that looks like that would work as well. Another alternative is Nev with Kyra except Nev likes boobs and Kyra has none, Jara with you except I don't think she even LIKES you, and Serki with Erin. That really doesn't feel like a good fit though. So basically I'm just gonna try to set Erin up with Nev and try to work through Jara's baggage so it can actually work out between her and Serki.
>>
No. 533373 ID: ab1da0

Hrrm...
So, Erin basically is a flirt that will go as many as she can juggle. But most people aren't into that and it's gonna be an issue.
Serki and Jara...Serki wants Jara, Jara seems to not really have the same feelings towards him though. Kara is well...Kara, which is to say like Erin but very experienced and old.
Wiz ain't touching anything with a ten-foot pole I bet.
Kara+Erin I think is a safe pair.
The trouble is Serki+Jara. That won't work-I think Jara sees him as a little brother or something, so it doesn't work out...

Err, just in case you aren't joking: Ridcully had blue eyes and was always a huge perv, so the only qualities Wiz shares with him are the dark skin and bald head. Also his last incarnation he was white and not bald, so physical qualities aren't something we can count on. Lastly, the sin group is definitely unable to reincarnate now that the Vessel is destroyed. So he's not Ridcully.

Erin lost all her memories only a day or two ago so I think she's still just trying to find herself... and with all the crap that is going on right now it's proving to be a bit of a chore

Serki... We know he likes Erin and I think he still has some feelings for Jara but with Serki being Serki, it's making things a bit awkward for him. He's a more wait and see approach really until we can find out a bit more about what he really wants

Jara, I'm positive she has feelings for serki but at this point I really can't say how deep they go and other then that, we don't have much on her other then she doesn't really like us (the AI)

Void is pretty much the same as Serki actually but is more focused on Erin

Wiz... well we have nothing on wiz other then his (maybe) real name

and lastly Kyra ... well you probably don't need us to say anything about her.

That’s because of the longevity vaccine. Still got a body of a 25 years old, even if I am actually almost fifty… and that’s not going to change for at least another 150 years…
>We don't know how old ANY of the other cast are, not even a little.

>How are you with homosex?
No homo.
>Wiz ain't touching anything with a ten-foot pole I bet.

Serki is an emotional rollercoaster, so I’m not sure he really ready for anything serious. I mean, when I first met him he was kind of talkative but now… well, at least until Erin came… hmm… I wonder if this whole Erin thing is going to make him go into a depression again…
>Kyra.
Kyra isn’t going to settle down with one person… at least not anytime soon… unless it’s one of those open relationships… hmm… sex is after all not the only thing a relationship is about…

>Jara.
Her and Serki? Hmm… I always thought she saw him as a little brother… maybe not?
>Older, marriage and anger.
Well, yes, I’m older then her… though age has lost a lot of its meaning the last few hundred years… as for the anger, I’m trying to conquer it. I haven’t been that angry with you guys, right? …and the marriage… well… She disappeared three years ago… I think it’s time to move on… and the marriage was a bit poisoned anyway… we mostly stayed together for the kids… but now… they are gone, aren’t they? …they… aren’t here… anymore…

Because they switch with us and if the detector can see them then switching might make them stop showing up on the scanner? It depends on how switching actually works and what the detector is seeing.

Tell Jara and Kyra you think your ocular implant is acting up; Self-diagnostic indicated it was damaged. You might want to get that checked out before heading back, if you can, since you don't want to be suddenly struck with full-view glitch-o-vision.

It's interesting how when your implant broke our weird sideways perception was affected. You weren't even looking in that direction! How would a glitchy implant make something look weird it wasn't even looking at?

What? No chocolate-dipped Mantis spermatophores? They're really lacking in selection here.

Leave the receipt. It's something he doesn't want anybody to know about, and if you get far enough with him he'll probably share it with you personally anyway. Though, maybe take a guess now and see if you turn out to be right later.

Ask Kyra what she suggests you get first, being a newbie to this and all, but with the stipulation that it be small and concealable; You're not abusing Dyne's generosity to outfit an entire personal sex dungeon. Though, you could suggest to Kyra that she may take advantage of his money if she wanted to get something normally out of her price range.

Perhaps you could get a small tube of lube with a very mild short-lived topical anesthetic, to counteract your current oversensitivity.

Okay, this question's gonna be out of left field, but... Are your breasts augmented? Not in a aesthetic sense, but in a support sense. I assume they are, since you've been pulling off crazy ninja moves and they haven't been painfully swinging all over. My guess is there's a sub-dermal kinetic reactive mesh in them that's anchored back to your ribs which reacts to sudden movements to keep them in place.

Which brings me to my next question: Can you control how elastic sections of that mesh is? Basically so you can change your "boob geometry" without having to wear support clothing, or even anything. At the least it'd mean you could have cleavage while wearing any outfit you wished. I'd also be amusing to make just your boobs dance around while in front of Nev and see how he reacts.

I’m not oversensitive any longer. It was just a… “first time” kind of deal… but lube sounds good…
>Are your breasts augmented? Not in an aesthetic sense, but in a support sense.
Well, yes. I don’t need a supports bra, if that’s what you’re asking. I can also change the… um… amount of support? I guess? From normal breast to breast of steel kind of thing. I can’t make them dance, though… which is a shame…

Hey you two kids, they're not gonna start sexing it up on the table. I suspect your motives may not be entirely pure, either.

>Hey you two kids, they're not gonna start sexing it up on the table.
<Of course not. Erin is a classy lady, so no hanky panky before the third date. Pff, let’s start this relationship with a bang! Go for it! Pound him!>
>I suspect your motives may not be entirely pure, either.
<We only wish for mistress to be happy. A stable relationship will make her happy, right? Pounding that cute butt will make her happy! Let’s do it already! Why waste time!>

>are you playing by the no kiss until the third date rule or not?
…not really. I’ll go with whatever feels right. I think he’s earned a kiss for the dinner… but more intimate stuff on the other hand… hmm…
>ask if he knows of a way for you to make some cash for yourself.
But I already got cash… Dyne did give me a lot of it, after all. The son of a bitch is filthy rich, if anything.

>well Kyra had a hand in that just so you know.
…wait, is this the whole “present” thing from yesterday? I’ve still not figured out what that was all about.
>Also Kyra has been looking at you two while happy the entire time. I wonder if she's cheering internally.
Well, she is kind of a pervert, so probably. She’s probably going to ask us to tape anything that happens if we stay here any longer.
>Ask her. Once you're alone with her in the candle-lit massage parlor you've turned your room into.
:VoiddaggerKAK: There… all the c-candles have been lit…
:ErinKAK: Mmm… strawberry…
:VoiddaggerKAK: Erin… I… um… I… err… how d-do I… um… I felt s-something pressing a-against my leg when we h-hugged… w-what was it?
:ErinKAK: …um… I… err… one s-second.

Wait you can force us to reconnect to you? Didn't know that, interesting to know though.

Well you can take the honest route, tell him you thought he might enjoy something extra if he decided if he was with you and that your packing a bolted screw.

You can also hold back, and call it a "surprise" for later if you decide to hanky-panky, something for after the massage and all that, and then slowly unveil it to him.

Or you can panic, shout "Whats over there!" And flee the room. This is not recommended, do not do it.

"Do electric sheep dream?" in the darkness outside the room. Man, I am getting sick of these little hints that we're in a fabricated reality. It's not like we can do anything about it. It might even be our own trauma causing hallucinations since we've been through that kind of shit multiple times...

Anyway, tell him after finding out about all the various body modifications that were possible, you were tempted to get one mod in particular. Eventually, you gave in to the temptation, sooooo... you have a dick now!

:ErinKAK: Look behind you! It’s the Goodyear blimp!
:VoiddaggerKAK: What? Where? The good in what now? Is that some kind of augmentation?
:ErinKAK: Run awa- oh shit, you’re standing in the way of the door, aren’t you?
:VoiddaggerKAK: …uh… what?

:VoiddaggerKAK: Erin…
:ErinKAK: Alright, fine…

:ErinKAK: …so I got a… you know… out of curiosity. So I’m a bolt with a screw now…
:VoiddaggerKAK: …y-you’re a w-what? Y-you… d-did this… f-for me?
:ErinKAK: Well… in part, yes. Half it was for you, half of it was curiosity…
:VoiddaggerKAK: I… I don’t k-know what to say… I… um… I’ve n-never… not a r-real one… I… c-can I… can I ride yo- no wait, I didn’t mean to say that!
:ErinKAK: Whoa there, lover boy… that’s a bit rushed, don’t you think?
:VoiddaggerKAK: Sorry! I didn’t mean to… it’s just… sorry… I… I s-should go…

Hug him, and ask if he still wants to massage or be massaged, if you can get over your panic and flustering to say that you can help him get over his own panic.

Also beginning to understand why he did everything we said, when he's flustered and he's thinking he'll just say anything out loud.

>Demand he stay put and take his massage like a man.
:ErinKAK: I owe you a massage for the dinner, alright? A massage and a kiss! I’m not taking a no for an answer.
:VoiddaggerKAK: …y-yes, ma’am…

:VoiddaggerKAK: Ahh… I… I really needed this…
:ErinKAK: Yes, you did. You’re really tense! …take off your shirt, so I can use the massage oil… and maybe take off those pants too~
:VoiddaggerKAK: Err… isn’t that taking it a bit far?
:ErinKAK: Nonsense! …wait, are you wearing a thong?
:VoiddaggerKAK: …It m-makes me feel sexy…
