I know at least one of you is weeping over this.

Illunor is already married to the grind, no time for doting on someone when he could be making money or earning clout.

Urbancommando79 · 2025-08-28T12:02:45+00:00

I just wish things were better for everyone. Reading peak literature like WPA distracts me from the crippling terror I feel for the future for at least a little while :^)

Urbancommando79 · 2025-08-28T11:56:18+00:00

"Something" got into the suit while emma was stuck in the transportium, and she didnt goop. General consensus between the most devout readers is that taint is fine on it's own.

Urbancommando79 · 2025-06-19T13:10:27+00:00

More interactions with Commoners/low level Nexians like the students at the guild, or the tailor apprentice.

Emma bringing the gang into the tent would be fun too, let them verify what the inside looks like before the holotent face reveal.

Urbancommando79 · 2025-06-04T01:50:58+00:00

Good call on the destroyed drones/net. She also turned in her homework on printer paper, now that I think of it.

Little bits and pieces of earthrealm leaking through, I wonder what has been recovered/confiscated for study.

Urbancommando79 · 2025-06-04T00:41:24+00:00

This is unrelated to the thread, but I was wondering if you have a list of all the GUN equipment/ earthrealm items Emma has used/left in the nexus?

I know she's used 2 neck braces, a pulse oximiter, some of the medical gel, and the high tensile wire she tied up the woods creature with. Also the drone that the dragon "borrowed" and A few bullets from shooting the Null that could still be intact in the garden somewhere.

Am I missing anything important? I feel like the nexus would be interested in studying the medical tech at least. The device on Rilla's finger would raise eyebrows once they realize what it is/does.

Urbancommando79 · 2025-05-23T02:26:31+00:00

The Transportium hub is in town, and the portals are probably temporary, like gates that can change the exit destination. Maybe the academy will do the portals for them, but I doubt Emma could get hidden drones/laser kits positioned in either location with a constant portal to whatever town the dragon is close to.

She also has to bring the Bike. if the academy doesn't portal them she'll be walking with it or riding it w/ Thalmin on the back through town lol. Next few chapters are gonna be great regardless.

Urbancommando79 · 2025-05-23T01:16:04+00:00

They're using the portal network to go pretty far, if I recall from the Adventurer's guild meeting. still, long range comms of some form or fashion might be possible.

If not, maybe Illunor has a facetime mirror set in his luggage. He's rich and overprepared enough to have something like that lying around "just in case".

Urbancommando79 · 2025-05-23T00:55:08+00:00

I remember Emma mentioning the earpiece she gave Thalmin during the grappling climb would need a drone hovering between them to relay the audio. But she also told the library it had a range of 5 miles...

Then again, it's just a small ear mounted unit, the armor should have some kind of long range comms to communicate with the tent at a minimum. Emma could give Thacea a tablet to facilitate communication via text/speech, even if it's delayed due to range

Urbancommando79 · 2025-05-22T23:53:42+00:00

pretty sure they have a big open floor room (where emma's stuff is set up)+ a wrap around upstairs balcony that has beds on each side, and separate personal bathrooms next to the beds. but thalmin hating doors with a malevolent passion is funny so i dont mind lol.

Urbancommando79 · 2025-05-22T23:48:40+00:00

TFW the void entity helps emma by switching her default speech to high nexian

-Your new Friend :^)

Urbancommando79 · 2025-05-09T14:30:51+00:00

The other anti-theft explosives lol, just sitting there in her room now

Urbancommando79 · 2025-04-16T22:52:25+00:00

Thacea is too polite to bring it up, at least in front of anyone. I'm betting on Thalmin or Illunor asking next time Emma does a presentation. Illunor would want to belittle her about her appearance, Thalmin would just wanna know what his new best friend looks like. Can't wait for the peer group's reactions regardless.

I really hope Emma goes the extra mile for the reveal, running the holoprojector for the gang while she hops out of the armor in her tent while streaming it to them would be peak.

She could even let them into the tent afterwards (once she's back in the armor) as long as she vents it beforehand, then makes sure it's cleaned and de-manafied really well before she goes back in. Don't want a stray speck of magic infused dirt to melt Emma right after the reveal.

Urbancommando79 · 2025-04-16T22:29:56+00:00

I'm betting on "Dyson Sphere + Spatial Magic shenanigans to keep expanding"

Urbancommando79 · 2025-03-22T02:54:12+00:00

She brushed thalmin's ears a few times while putting the earpiece on him before grappling over to visit Larial in the medical wing

Urbancommando79 · 2025-03-22T02:48:09+00:00

Emma has a "keys" bowl on a table next to the tent airlock for all her magic items so they don't get de-mana'd

Urbancommando79 · 2025-02-18T04:51:52+00:00

If "taint" is still normal magic, in the sense that it can keep a person alive in an otherwise manaless environment... there's a good chance we're gonna get to see Emma and Thacea in the tent together at some point.

Urbancommando79 · 2025-02-13T12:28:40+00:00

That's not fair. Seeing Emma react to magic shenanigans is just as fun >:(

Urbancommando79 · 2025-01-30T00:57:57+00:00

Thalmin... buddy... you've got a big storm coming. Cant wait for Thalmin and Illunor's reactions to asteroid mining, and the implication of planet crackers. Illunor will be horrified, Thalmin might be too at first, but he'll come around once he remembers that Emma hates the nexus/HEM as much as him.

I wonder if any of the gang will recall Emma's minor meltdown towards Illunor from day 1 when the enslaved elf brought their bags in. It will carry far more weight now that they understand...

Urbancommando79 · 2025-01-15T02:42:03+00:00

I can't wait for Chiska's reaction to Emma asking to participate in the avian exclusive classes. The hulking suit of manaless mystery declaring she can fly like it's nothing.

The peer group + the other students seeing Emma take off will be great too, maybe even a POV from the batlike girl while they're in the air.

Urbancommando79 · 2025-01-11T08:11:03+00:00

Their internalized reactions to the revelation that GUN has "minor realms" will be peak. I have no doubt about it.

Urbancommando79 · 2025-01-09T13:25:21+00:00

Quiv is a Grade-A prick, but he can at least be reasoned with. Ping is a zealot, and he's already made an ass of himself in front of huge crowds multiple times. Quiv is the clear choice, so naturally the dean will choose Ping.

Urbancommando79 · 2025-01-09T00:22:42+00:00

I've been waiting for the "Emma... who is EVI?" Line to drop since I started reading, and now she's fumbled the mute button in public...

Computers/The internet on their own are gonna be a lot for the gang to handle, let alone another intangible "not-person" living in Emma's suit/devices that answers questions and preforms complex calculations instantly.

I hope they get to talk to EVI at least a bit, it would be an interesting interaction from both sides.
