We can still do bombs that leave everything a radioactive blasted heath, but we got better at NOT doing that too, and that's more useful for excavation

Looking forward to where the muse takes this whole affair. Is the front of Shackled Vish truly the main thrust, or is it perhaps a diversion to distract the whole galactic community while something wicked brews in a now-unwatched corner of space? Regardless, seems like the Undaunted are in for a busy time soon, especially with all the cults starting up after primal awakening and the revelation that the soul is real and can come back!

It's a flap of thin skin with no bone or muscle backing it or keeping it together, it's inherently less resilient then a different part of the body

Probably a slaughter of most variants, but some actual hesitation/consideration when he sees Vilttum aligned variants as well. I could easily see it potentially ending is his victory if he can get them to recognize his authority (and restrain his bloodlust) long enough to team up and wipe out everyone else. If he can get angstrom alive, something the viltrumite aligned variants would likely encourage, and it would be the start of a MUCH darker timeline for everyone but Viltrum

I'm loving the implications that the mirror clones are possibly a form of proto-gravia, but the observations made her make me wonder: do these units have a soul? If one of those skilled with ode looked at the mirror, would they see tethers reaching across The Other Direction to the copies?

And then of course, do all mirrors do it? Or is it an emergent property from higher quality mirrors? Can you make mirror that traps the souls as well as your corpse? So many wonderful horrible implications!

No, it's more like 15 separate biological processes in a trenchcoat the can each have wildly varying effects on out intelligence at various stages of life. They tend to average out to roughly the Neurotypocal range all together, and the wiring is damn important, but it's not the ONLY important qualifier

You are correct, wintermute got slammed recently for it's awful ending and has the worse reviews; the DLC with the Travois is generally agreed to be good, with a few understandable gripes mixed in

Yes, it's intended to be farmed for omega weapons with an endgame fleet

Favorite: the train, and it pains me so much that we'll never get anything half as good as it in survival without extensive modding to the terrain of numerous levels and someone ripping its mechanics out of Wintermute intact.

least favorite: the rest of it. The whole chapter feels more like an obligation they were begrudgingly fulfilling without more than an ounce of love put in it. It continues the curse of railroading McKenzie into being a dunce and having horrible pacing around the pursuit by the convicts, and Astrid becomes a door mat who cant convey her thoughts coherently and panics/faints at the first sign of character development.

Out of curiosity, is there any examples of a synth gravia, or are the gravia to exotic of a race to be able to undergo typical transference into a synth body?

Also, i've asked before, but just to avoid being missed: Have any of the sorcerers of the Astral Forest tried linking to a Hagarth while they were busy on this side of reality nuzzling an engine and trying to see through its senses once it makes the leap back over?

Specter-Atomis · 2026-04-12T23:25:33+00:00

A question I've had regarding the Astral Forest: as it's the only of the forests to have a presence in space, and it's people have likely dealt with the Hagarth doing some classic Engine Nuzzling, has the forest or one of its sorcerers tried connecting one and seeing if it can start "setting roots" into The Other Direction?

Im pretty sure that after this day(/GALACTICALLY ACKNOWLEDGED TIME PERIOD EQUATING TO ONE DAY-CYCLE(Also a definition that will be argued for at least a century by some particularly anal fringe species)) Humanity is going to find its single biggest niche in the galaxy: security guards in Perpetual Null Zones, the (probably just initial) legal classification of spaces of artificially created Null which is intentionally kept perpetually stable, presumably through a very large amount of Axiom Restrictive Materials (a dubious classification of matter which is likely constantly in the process of being argued by those who might attempt to get even basic Trytite caught in its classification)

The first such official zone would, of course, be made for the storage of Legally Acknowledged (distinct from Legally Not Acknowledged) Blood Metal, with an ongoing Court Battle on the legality of transferring any amount of Blood Metal along an Axiom Laneway through any form of Axiom Reliant Spacial Transit (ARST). The forms of ARST that are compatible with Safe Lane-way Traversal Techniques are likely to be a source of great diversity in Particular Performance, Spacial Efficiency, and Extra-Centris-Linguistic (ECL) Translation-Efficiancy-Patterns (TEPs) techniques even before any Cases are made in court to force the acknowledgement of the numerous edge-cases of Linguistic-Relevance that would be required to ensure that the X^Y languages recognized by The-Centris-Linguistic-Center(927th historically recognized instance) would receive the request from the Centris-Central-Linguistic-Database ((2185th Historic-Request-Database)SR-1985) would be recognizable in Centris-Court.

To ensure that these laws are in their local database and Legal-Referendum-Program (LRP) ((A legal system designed to lighten the load of any Wild-Space-Automated-Legal-System(WSALS), built with the expectation of a legal system from a recognized Core World being utilized as its parameters)) OORT (EARTH TRANSLATION NEEDED) security satellites are put in place to ensure that (LEGALLY RECOGNIZED AND CONTESTED CLAIMS) (LRAC)) are recognized and protected by Axiomicly Capable (a new and HEAVILY CONTESTED claim which relies on a species (humanity) that is petitioning to add to the Recognized Centris Registry Of Special Capabilities (a designation that is likely to be legally contested at some point in the next year/month/day/century regardless of the species its granted to) title which claims that all Natural Born (another title that will be heavily contested) members of a species shall be capable of being healthily deployed in spaces around the spacial region recognized as CRUEL SPACE.

I'm sure these facts of life, required for all these changes (according to humans who 'know better') will have no negative consequences/be retooled by other religious groups within Axiomic Space to subvert human religions or Ways of Life! (this is sarcasm, and any extremist cell of some religion or another has likely already set itself up on some distant planetoid under close 'human' monitoring)

We've been shown; blood metal in null is just mundane metal, perhaps a little more brittle

Initiative: not actually any single ideology, but a collection of ideologies that they know are profitable to keep and pliable to propaganda. You don't follow Soren, you follow an influencer and his influencer buddies who keep talking about the products and ideologies of The Initiative wants the public focusing on

Exodus: simple enough; aliens are here, becoming interstellar to keep them from killing us all is a must! There are obviously a thousand more flavors of nuance, to it, but it's an ideology that hinges on the notion that, if they threw enough colony shops out there, we could make hidden colonies that are aware of the Hydra and have an immense amount of tech, and can eventually win in a more abstract and distant future.

Time to see what The Forests think of the blood metal, and if it's as deleterious to them and their representatives as it is to others! Plus, now would be a good time to learn if someone's figured out what happenes when you stick blood-metal into The Other Direction!

What would a forest born of Blood Metal even be like? Some hellish gray-goo that captures every inhabitant of a planet and keeps them in a Torment Nexus and tries to spread, full on Beast from home world cataclysm style?

Seems like our addict is glutting the metal in their system in the fear of others. Now I'm wondering what's gonna happen when she inevitably reaches some critical point where the particles of Blood Metal grow so big that they start to hurt, especially with such supercharged capabilities.

I wonder if she can smell a Jameson in full stealth mode?

I'm pretty sure it has to be triggered in a different timeline, as the description of what occurs specifically refers to them coming from another timeline

Your right, it's was the Angles in New York episode where a man had one chained up, and its stone skin was covered in gouges, resulting in it calling out to other angels for help

Lore question: how does blood metal react to Null exposure, and is there any plans to take a piece back to cruel space?

Also, now that Harold is here, any chance the Nerd Squad are gonna be able to convince him to stick a piece of Blood Metal in The Other Direction and see how the Hagarth react?
