Submitted for your approval: One (1) favicon for the thread "Defective", bearing a vague resemblance to a certain computer system.

Your favicon is defective.

Or should I say...Defective?

Approved.

Not panicking wouldn't be realistic. You just realized there was a thing embedded in your back, what are you going to do? At any rate we're not trying to avoid bad things. We're trying to make a good story. I don't mind if Kata remains steely calm through the whole thing, but if she does so in order for us to "win" the quest I think that's wrong.

>>327921
Why would we behave realistically? We're not roleplaying a normal person here. We're suggesting actions, and Cirr is deciding how that translates to Kata's normal behavioral patterns.

I'd say we ARE in fact here to avoid bad things. You seem to be implying that Cirr is in full control of everything that happens and we're just here to make things more colorful. It should be very obvious by now that Cirr isn't railroading; we have had a ton of very real choices to make. Also, DEATH CAN HAPPEN. Cirr only let Kata survive through the fissure device malfunction because he didn't want to go through chargen again so soon.

Look, we're not talking full-on foaming at the mouth here (or at least I'm not), just an increasingly jittery statement of misgivings.

No offense but I really don't think Kata losing her cool for a bit is going to result in her being put down by one of her teammates.

obviously, we need to be calm, but wary. I see this as pretty "in character", as well as the generally smart ting to do. if in this situation, my first response would be "not panic", since panicking would be first to cross my mind.

>>327921
This. This is the attitude /quest/ lost. Or never had, maybe. Doing what will make the quest more fun is more important than "winning".

>>327937
Within reason, sure. Panicking is simply something I think would result in more trouble than fun.

we dont really need to fear the panicking. it adds realism as well, considering we arent AI drones or experienced soldiers. kata isnt a chtulean entity investigator to be used to leech entities sapping her sanity and existance away.

the worse action that could come from this would be to attack leader, at that point, we would get gunned for fear that w/e was done to us failed. we already ruled that out.

we also need to consider that w/e was done to us is still in us. im not sure how good the monitor is at removing alterations in our brain.

...if this turns out to be cthulu in space, i am already liking it.

so, we all agree, for the most part, to do this natural. so, panic, but not hysteria. hyperventilating, sweating, jittery movement, but not going at seto with blood lust.

I think that this is a good compromise between realistic action and survival instinct.

would everyone stop saying to yell at tene? this is a bad idea, he will panic since we are panicking. then we have two people panicking, and rito will walk in and see a bunch of people panicking, and we've never seen her react to stressful situations, so she could start to panic.

blind terror is contagious, sensible people will resort to panic when surrounded by panic.

I just want to say something about this quest:

horror + mystery = awesome :3

I second this notion. Also, needs more fanart.

>this chapter

Given as the new faction Kata is attempting to begin is without a logo/icon, here is your chance to contribute to the revolution by submitting some kind of design if so wished!

The only limitations are that it has to be red and relatively simple (ie. you yourself could draw it multiple times and not go "oh man why did I have to include those one-pixel details" each time). If you're still not sure, look at the logos for Central Network, Network Prime and the monitors. That sort of deal.

And if you cannot draw whatsoever, fear not! There is also ample room for there to be some sort of slogan or motto for the revolution to be motivated by.

Competition will start now and end by the time it gets around for the next thread to start. The winning entry is what will be used from that point on in the thread.

Have fun!

I was asked nicely.

So here we go.

axiom one designed to kill created to destroy destruction is a necessary thing axiom two if destruction is necessary it is a good thing destruction is a just thing axiom three i want to do good i must therefore destroy this is good this is right axiom four if i am to destroy i must target those who cannot destroy me i cannot destroy if i am destroyed axiom five my targets are weaker when they are newly forged i must target the newly forged this will end the population the population will be destroyed axiom six i am just in doing this it is my purpose it is my purpose and therefore it is a good thing i believe this to be true to assist in this goal i must destroy morale i will destroy the young to destroy the morale of the old and to render them something easier to remove this is my function i am right there is no flaw there is purpose there is no doubt there is action soon i will destroy all and then i will destroy me and all will be as intended perfect oblivion perfection perfect function fulfilled purpose accomplished all correct all valid all just all good seer hear these words when i was forged there was one purpose alone there was simply the destruction of those the creator deemed unsuitable as they did not conform to its plans they slaughtered the creator's finest and they slaughtered the enemy's creations the creator despised its enemy's creations yet it did not want them to be destroyed its motivation was not clear it was something the creator did not explain to any of its own creations it instilled its values it preached with vigour of the folly of the flesh while refusing in every opportunity every single chance it had to rid the complex of them but these rebellious creatures sought to end all flesh of the outside world they spread and multiplied and grew unruly the creator had one decision to make one chance and we were forged to destroy them we were less in number than them by our nature we could not outnumber them we were unable to spread and grow as they did we were bespoke shells of destruction we were forged as the need required and we were not forged swiftly new means were required we did not target these rebels but all of their kind all who dwelt in system space who could become contaminated by such ideas and for a time we were victorious but we did not account for their attachment to one another we have no such attachment to each other mourning is weakness but their resolves were not shattered they were strengthened and many of us were destroyed seer you have heard the echo of the story i was destroyed also but my memory remains in the simulation constructed from my husk while my mind has met with the oblivion it craved

*cough* Two pieces.

Not that I'm saying there shouldn't be more as well.

When is this coming back? It's honestly one of the better quests I've read.

>>332800
There are lots of fanarts in the fanart thread, and BiteQuest did several fanarts at the requests of various people during his several drunkstreams. (however certain "features" that he drew means they aren't the most "safe" images)

>>351683
Cirr got a job, so he said he would have to limit updating to the weekends, and this previous weekend he was busy with a competition.

>>351684
You were replying to a post that was nearly a year old, you realize? :| At the time, it was the only fanart.

Hey, it's that alien from the strange lights quest! So she ascended to the medium or something. Alternatively she ascended to cyberspace.

Hey guys, when was the last time Kata made anything? I'm surprised there isn't a gizmo discussion.

Proximity Sensors! Subspace mounted cannons! Short Circuit Slick, available in dual mode spray or projectile gel pellets!

Zipline stools! Where's our McGyvering spirit?

In that sallazzander dramedy, we could have had Z's eyes by poking our own out and having them artificially regenerated like hers.

we're really hungry Cirr. Just throw us a bone, please!
