Ilvermorny Quest returns after IRL issues! More cute Witches with guns, a destiny, and violence in abundance!OOC: I have been having health issues as well as family health ones. I am sorry. This is not dead, and during the time I felt okay, I ended up with a mega update. Will try to get back to 2-3 smaller updates a week depending on player count.I am doing a rentry for the opening recap, so I don't need two separate posts for it.Recap: https://rentry.co/dtibhta7Archive link: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=ilvermorny>Non-canon lewd-fic: https://rentry.co/4iehi5w8Comment too long.

>>6356116>Paws? What is up with him. Aubrey has some odd theories. Believes he knows things. Might be a secret Animagus, even.no way thats just a cat...>Friday morning. What she knew of it and it’s strangeness>About Ilvermorny in general; the teachers, the, Pukwudgies, the Castle and campus>About Enchanting and Blacksmithing. Show here your rig and Em’s necklace. The ministry could only detect some normal charms but if they could do more? You needed as many tools as you can getthis but dont tell everything about our rig, something doesnt sit right with me about her, feeling a bit suspicious...
I should have just waited and posted in the morning; should have rolled my self to speed stuff up. It should also been made it clear that for every 25 points you get a question and that 85 DC was meant to be a 75 and a full pass would get you a bonus.Sorry, even though it would not matter with the 50.However, as an apology, I'll give you 3 questions. Then commit sudoku due too my sham, kek.When picking them, please just order them from top to bottom to make my life easier.>>6356180>>6356188Is that the order you wanted them, what you wanted most 1st and what you wanted least at the bottom, depending on # of passes?
>>6356354sure
Rolled 14 (1d100)>>6356354holy shit i completely forgot about rolling, thats on me.still gonna roll just in case anything could change.i guess in order of top to botton, at the top is the cat, i think we both chose that one as the first one for a reason.next, the friday morning onethen enchanting and blacksmithingand then ilvermorny
Okay. So many choices on one vote was dub given the player count, as was trying yo order them.Not going to make that mistake again. So, I am just going to put hem together in a logical way.I'm sorry but it might be Sunday before we get going there wise..I appreciated everyone who reads and votes; sorry. This quest is already slow.Going to start writing.
Hi! This is my gay larp story. Please don't laugh at me. It's not quite as fantastical as everything else here but I hope you enjoy it. Decisions will either be from a presented set that can be overridden by popular will at my discretion, or by simple suggestion. Will use d100, applying "Degrees of success" rules that may be familiar to some. For those unfamiliar, rolling a 50 on a dv 40 is 1 degree, 60 2, 70 3, and so forth.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~IT IS 2026THE "AMERICAN REVOLUTION" FAILED 250 YEARS AGO.YOU HAVE LIVED IN BRITISH OCCUPIED AMERICA FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE, AS DID TEN GENERATIONS BEFORE YOU.26 YEARS AGO, A COORDINATED SERIES OF ATTACKS ACROSS NEW YORK, PHILADELPHIA, AND BOSTON LEAD TO PARLIAMENT PASSING THE "ANTI-TERROR AND SECURITY ACT OF 2000", GIVING CROWN POLICE, ROYAL ARMED FORCES, AND THE VARIOUS INTELLIGENCE MINISTRIES BROADER POWERS THAN THEY PREVIOUSLY HELD.

>>6326483I worked in Britain for a few years and, while those decent foods you listed exist, the average Brit consumes the most disgusting and bland slop imaginable for their daily meals. Everything is boiled until it loses all texture and flavor, nothing js seasoned, it is just grim over there. I will concede that they have good baked goods
>>6326497Britain is a globohomo identity wearing the flayed skin of England as a trophy. I've never been to the fatherland, so I can't really comment on how it is now, but almost the whole canon of foods that you will find in supermarkets is derived from English origins. It's literally the "Fish don't see water" meme when talking about English cuisine. It's everywhere and it's the default.
>>6326483Then why arent they eating the good food?
>>6326118Don't be a pussy OP.I demand to be entertained.
>>6327058Indeed, Give me an update or give me death!
Totemists, one of the first lines of defense against the malicious and monstrous, famed slayers of Behemoths which are perhaps the most dangerous examples of such, and bridge to the domains of spirits and magic unseen. The role is not an easy one of course, but it must be done and has been since time before almost all written history.You are Capran, young man of the Four Peaks mountains, pupil of Oranya Skystrike.There has been a lot of unrest on the mountain slopes lately, the issue growing further with each day it seems, but with your teacher still guiding you, there will always be a way to deal with it the trouble.Such as this post mimic, which stands on thin wood-splinter-like legs and angrily spears them into the ground beneath it at the failure of its ambush. You stand nearby your teacher and her friend Heyra, ready and willing to destroy this mimic.Awful thing. You're rather happy you three are the one who found it rather than some poor patrol guard or villager.>Cont
The finger is doing better but it had a minor infection. I'm on some antibiotics and the inflammation has gone down. I'll do my best to update tomorrow
Im alive, the swelling is much better, the cuts are healed up on the finger and I avoided a hospital bill!Writing begins now
>>6359389You want to rush.You really want to, but with the dragons around, your mind pressed with the mission and ensuring the safety of the mountain...it's best not to start pushing your luck when your patience is this thin. Calmer minds prevail when anger is near, or so your teacher Oranya would say when you got frustrated with lessons. You didn't understand what she meant at first until you learned that anger and frustration needs a good direction to focus in. You suppose that the lush green leaves and warm light of the forest helps to settle you down as you follow along behind Ghesha who remains quiet. There's little doubt that she can tell you're worked up right now and would like a calm moment, so you appreciate her for that, although perhaps she's just naturally not the talkative sort.Speaking of Ghesha, she seems to be working a little bit of magic into the surroundings before you feel like the distance in front of you both shrinks with each step. Is this the famous Woodwalking that forest spirits are famous for? The travel will definitely be short work the crawler boots on and this kind of help from your guide. You should see about trying to bring out the full potential of your grassland binding, maybe you can squeeze just a bit more out of it, or just find some way to fly yourself back to the mountains after this. The forest spirit didn't seem too interested in you coming back through.There might be a way to enter a contract with an air spirit or a flying spirit of some sort that could make this much easier for the return trip. Yes, you have the Blackwing but you don't have much to fashion a set of wing totems for it to work off. There'll be time for crafting later... although maybe not so much later. Ghesha seems to be picking up her pace.>Tell her she can go faster if that will help.>Is something wrong?>Maintain current speed>Talk to Ghesha as you travel
>>6365707oh I misread that. I though ekasta was walking with us>Talk to Ghesha as you travelSo what's the deal with Ekasta? Spoiled child? Make a bit of small talk first before:>Is something wrong? It doesn't have to be a service I need to be paid for, talk is cheap.

>>6326168IdiotWhat if it stops raining? Then you fall out of the sky
You take the F-16 for a joyride. But sirens blare, and an AA gun shoots you down. The world turns black… until a sliver of light breaks through the darkness.Tearing your eyelids open, you find yourself inside the cockpit of an F-16C Fighting Falcon. Somehow, it carries infinite bullets, 70 missiles, 16 4AAMs, and 5 flares. “Da fuck?” you mutter.Peering out through the canopy, a deep blue sky stretches above you. Below, a shimmering ocean rushes past, dotted with scenic isles.Your confusion deepens. Then, an oddly familiar voice crackles through the radio: “Glad to have you back with us, Mobius 1. This is AWACS SkyEye. I’ll be, once again, serving as your eyes and ears for this mission.”Mobius 1? SkyEye?Aren’t those names from the popular 2001 fighter jet video game Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, published by Namco for the PlayStation 2? How strangely specific!You remember playing it once on an emulator a couple of years ago. Could it have left such a strong impression that you’re now hallucinating about it, while your real body is presumably tumbling toward Earth inside a burning aircraft?But the feeling of the flight-stick in your grip, the low hum of the engine in your ears, and the warm sun glaring down on your bald scalp all feel too real.Can this be real?

>>6333269Here is an evo that does not require a picture, more of a social evolution.So you know how chimps do social grooming, picking each other clean of the various bugs and parasites that live in their fur? Well, the Gnorsh starts to develop something like that.Herds of Gnorsh will practice social grooming by way of brown-nosing each other. But this ain't because they have a fart fetish, it's to help remove buttleeches from their herdmate's body. Fewer leeches, the fewer nutrients get lost to b the parasites.Nasty? Absolutely. But Nature is a practical sort not concerned with little things like propriety or decency.
>>6327572The inflated buttleech's neck grows longer so that while they may float atop the polluted waters of Dump25, they may still suck down delicious sludge.
>>6333833the advent of grooming creates strong "social" bonding among genetically close members of the species, grooming offers next to no dirrect benefit to the individual this "indirect fitness" benefits there genetics to spread in the population with frontal bottom "pinching teeth" with a narrow channel between the teeth allowing for vedging protrusions to pull and slightly motile flat gripper teeth that all around makes grooming easier

MondayGrid Sector 11873, Defensive Position "Razorback"The Bradley 1A5 kept firing with it's auto-cannon at the incoming target. One of it's tracks, the left one, was damaged. The rack of guided missiles had been emptied days ago and there hadn't been the chance to refill them. Quartermaster "Godmother" was inside the basement of a ruined house, missing it's second floor and portions of the first. The structure of plywood would provide minimal protection or cover, which was why he was underground. Beside him was Jack Price, the Engineer from MARS Incorporated, now a Lieutenant in what remained of the Armed Forces. Finally, if he was still alive, was Capt. Harry Grand from the Air Force. --In the basement was a Javelin guided missile, loaded, but with no available reloads. There was also MARS MPAR, a laser guided upgrade of the FGM-172A SRAW project. That system and a single reload were bundled together. Both would require firing from outside or the precarious top floor.The other explosive options were the drum fed, six shot 40mm Milkor MGL.... OR three disposable AT-4ERs.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Rolled 16, 14 = 30 (2d20)>>6359369>>6361255The damage to the tire, even though it puts plenty of holes into it, doesn't seem to cause the driver to suddenly lose control so much as force them to start slowly down and trying to carefully pull over or cruise. It would seem that either the hit was fairly distant or these are "run-flat" tires.Godmother looks around and manages to find something, which he sets up onto his shoulder. Looking down the sight and hoping it's zeroed for the right distance, he fires off a rocket, which thankfully doesn't produce a lot of backblast from his position. Gold and Blue Team were confused about the instructions earlier, but they fire two AT-4ERs when they see a rocket come out of their own structure.
Two separate missile trains came out of the roof from separate sections. Each of them crashed into the engine of an ATV, before launching a HEAT jet through the engine. The drivers both manage to control their vehicles and pull over to a stop, but they don't manage to make it all the way to where they wanted to stop. The vehicles disappear behind some buildings, possibly with some of their occupants wounded.The remaining vehicles are able to zoom forward while doing some firing, and come to a stop to fire more or dismount from concealment. The incoming fire they put downrange forces most of their targets to keep their heads down or risk being shot somewhere important.
Rolled 20 + 7 (1d20 + 7)>>6363744"Red" repeats the firing process, now targeting the area she presumes the most targets are dismounting at within the smoke, approximating it as best she can, and laying down coverage in as wide of an area therein as she can in as short a period as possible.
Rolled 4, 2, 1, 2, 5, 2 = 16 (6d6)>>6364199>>6363744
Having nested into a makeshift defensive position in the ruined building, "Red" gets a decent angle on one of the remaining vehicles as it's pulling up. Exploiting the geometry of her cover, she arcs grenades to an excellent approximation of where troops are deploying, wreaking utter havoc just before a HEDP round connects through a windshield of one such vehicle, detonating just after. The blast sends fragments and sharps into the two frontmost compartments, forcing a violent crash in the process as the vehicle collides with debris on the far side of the road. From here, a safe estimate would be that five vehicles worth of troops are likely already dismounted by now.

Howdy everyone this quest is inspired by Tower Dungeon, Dark Souls and gritty fantasy. With a rather flexible take on the Basic roleplaying Universal Game Engine is the basis for characters, skills and combat. _ One Hundred years have passed since the last Vexana Cosmesis influxia - The alignment of stars necessary for the correct partitions of the many seen and unseen angles of reality, allowing the beyond to grasp the physical once more.Since that moment every hour, minute and second has been counted as Kingdoms heed the awaited dirge. For the First City has returned to the world for just ten years until it is swallowed back by the accursed void, bringing with it relics of the past and horrors of a prophesied future. Dancing along the manic death spiral of time with little reason. Within the fabled Bed of Incongruity promises immense power and eternal life for all that sunder their way to the hidden cavity. Countless named and forgotten treasures of equal might and greater also await those mad enough to brave the damned metropolis. The First City lies within once blessed lands, yet the centuries of isolation and exposure to distant dimensions has taken its toll, scattering the returning landscape with foreign contaminants, alien threats and unnatural constructs. The City's interior itself is a celestial hovel of unnatural geometry as reality bleeds away at the very point where the veil between the many planes awaits, existence is only a second thought here. Many such explorers claim to have witnessed their compatriots simply uncoiling from reality and ascending to the heavens without warning. The stars have aligned and the way is known, through the hazy miasma the Insane, Brave and Desperate rush like a tide of crashing waves against its walls.

Welcome to CBF, a game set in the cyberpunk future of Charleston, SC, using the horror/urban fantasy world of Changeling: The Lost (and most of the rest of World of Darkness) as it's larger backdrop. You will be a Changeling, someone that was taken by the True Fae to an alien realm, Arcadia, across the hedge between reality and dreams. They left a Fetch behind in your place, a simulacrum that took your place among your friends and family, making your disappearance unnoticeable. While in captivity, you were traumatized, and forcibly transformed into a creature, or perhaps a decoration, or tool. You've since escaped, back to the real world, back to Charleston, SC, now, in the year 2198. You command certain supernatural abilities by making contracts and pacts with the forces of nature and reality, and can also make magically binding bargains with other Changelings and mortals. To non-fae creatures, you are by all appearances a human, maybe quite similar to your original self, but possibly older, younger, scarred, or with certain traits having since been altered - time passes in strange ways within Arcadia, and the marks left by the True Fae vary in their subtlety. Other Changelings, fae creatures, and certain other supernatural beings, however, can see past the Mask of concealing faerie magic, and view your true self - be that a musclebound troll, or an automaton cobbled together from wax and copper in your own former image. Megacorporations and stranger monsters than yourself pull the strings of society in these neon nights, and you will struggle with maintaining your humanity, and sanity, while navigating the maddening world of the fae, and the soul-crushing dystopia that's been produced by generations of greedy, sociopathic humans. You escaped from the creature that abducted you some ten years ago, and have survived in that time by honing your skills and picking your battles.

The president put on the ceremonial gowns, now knowing the terrible conventions of society.A forbidden fruit, offered to her by subordinates and friends, that which they all deemed an essential part of youth; the what to say, the what not to say; the great secrets of seduction; the three gazes of the man-eating leopard; “The height of skirt that melts the inexperienced virgin”. And she endured it all, like a woman. She endured to have them play with her, as if a rag or some mauled doll; only by the time they began to imply that the size of a bag was perspectively proportional to the osseous width of her body, she had already ran out of patience. And with the skirt, and the blouse, the inconspicuous accessory and the invincible bow of black hair, victory was served with imminence, and tremendous prematurity. As the lead of the Paranormal Investigation Club, she was in labour of solving mysteries in the company of her most trusted. Who hasn’t heard yet about the rapist of human souls, the phantom on the staircase, or the not single instance when the devil went and took the farmer's cows for a dance? After that, and many other adventures together; seemingly united, in their hearts she earned a deep place with her pure merit. And this time it was their turn to prepare her with the ubiquitous knowledge, to face the unknown, and perhaps even… to scare her fears. Trembled the world when the day came, Surely, long had spilled been the tea; and yet, in shame, a single drop lied and dared not to be spit. She, and she alone knew; thoughtless, truly thoughtless the compromise had been conceived. Upon their first and only conversation she was met with a sudden and unknown boiling emotion. She couldn't admit; the temptation was too much to bear. From the pure desire to partake in that which impossible is, agreed they to meet the next Sunday, despite knowing her she lived in the neighboring city. And even then, prepared and committed, without respect for distance, without fear, she departed on the afternoon, towards a station lost in time, lost from reason, all so she could ever meet with him... the next morning.-The Hairy Hand is a quest ruled by contradiction of wills and whims The President has towards all gruesome realities awaiting. Survival is doubtful, and physical integrity is never assured; bad decisions are ultimate. Players can cumulatively pick a maximum of 3 choices, once 3 different courses of action are picked, no alternatives can be proposed nor votes. Actions are taken upon popular vote, effected at irregular, arbitrary and unforgiving times. Small and menial actions may be taken by individuals at times; affecting or not the outcome of an encounter. The whims of a few may just suffice to change The President's fate.

You are Gamma the Lich. Your phylactery was found by an elf mage and shattered, but you had a last resort kind of deal you prepared with one of your servants, a wicked druid called Sima, where upon your phylactery being broken your soul would escaped and instantly be reincarnated on someone random somewhere.A few years of unconsciousness passed in a flash, and lo and behold, you're a teenage girl in some backwards village. Seems like you're being gangraped by orcs.Oh well, so that was the traumatic event that would awaken you the druid spoke about.You consume the fraying soul of your host and regain a sliver of your magical powers.You'll make sure to use them wisely.There is still the small issue that a bunch of orcs are raping you though...You got enough magic to cast 10 levels of spells. You do know some wicked epic level spells you could cast, but honestly, seems like an overkill.You basically know every single necromantic spell ever, even some no one else knows.Comment too long.

>>6325702That was close for the other nasty ones. > Gather food - so they don't starveEvery choice has a negative and a positive. But I think feeding them something other than the gruel before will boost morale a lot and allow them to have clearer thoughts. Even better if we can get some bait for rodents. It will make the Gathering them easier.
>>6325736The girls gather a bunch of blueberries, fruits, mushrooms, even some fat grubs and rabbits, then every night before sleeping we build a small fire to roast whatever is roastable, and partake of a hearty meal.You hear some weird things in the night, but you laught it off. You are the thing even other monsters fear when the sun goes down.On the third day, you see a village in the distance, a small settlement, maybe a thousand people. They have some farms, you can see the smoke of a forge, so they probably mine in the nearby caves, but little else.

I say move to the caves and with luck the orcs hit the town and we just have to deal with a random animal in the cave.
>>6325752Pondering that you have no way to know how this strange culture will react to you, you decide to hide in the caves. But you send a couple girls, instructing them to say they escaped form the orcs, to gather intelligence.Within, you find a Bear. Your baby is hungry and wants to eat it.> Kill and eat the bear> Shoo the bear away> Kill the bear and raise him as undead> Write inAfter a couple days, one of them shows up at the caves."The villagers have had problems with the orcs before and welcomed us well. The people here are very trusting. They are part of a kingdom called Merryland. They expected us to find roles within the village very quickly. We've been helping with cooking and today I volunteered to bring food to the miners, then I slipped by here to tell you about it."Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>6325757> Kill and eat the bearThe baby is likely our main way to fight and save energy.> Kidnap and sacrifice a few peopleInformation is a power in it's own right, but time will allow for only so much gathering. It's a risk for sure, but with luck maybe the orcs can be blamed. The other thought I have is for us to plague the food and water of the town. Starting with small things that could be seen as that has been around for some time. With luck we weaken the fighters to allow us time to gather needs before we move.

"JESUS FUCK." A bit of spit leaves the girl's mouth with the utterance of the expletive. The thin blonde man shoots an annoyed look at his coworker as he leans on his broom, watching her wipe the spit from her chin."Hey, management said we couldn't curse. Get that side for me." The brunette gives him an indifferent glance, grabs a dustpan, and starts sweeping in various things: rose petals, scrapped, badly framed photos, a dust of cocaine that had slipped from some celebrity's torn pocket. She scoffs at the discovery of a used condom leaking all over the concrete."Just saying. You'd think that at a big event like this, people would be a bit more dignified." She turns to look at the big black block letters that burned boldly on the arena sign.MILLER V HAWKEFATHER V SONTONIGHT(1/5)
>>6352203Thank you all for being so patient and for reading Minimum Wage Quest! I wanted this to continue all the way to 10 pages, but I don't think I have it in me to keep this thread going that long. This has been very educational for me, and the next thread will likely be shorter than this one, but longer than the first.I am so grateful to those of you that stuck around and waited so patiently, and I'm so sorry I'm ending this thread here.What did you think? I'd love your honest thoughts: what did you like, what did you dislike, what should I change, what should I keep? I think I'm going to end QM rolls. The entire reason I was rolling in the first place was for momentum's sake. It kept each update as an update instead of waiting for votes since I was a little scared they would slog the pace of the quest, but I think audience rolls are the way to go.
>>6352204Thanks for running it, QM!I really like the setting, and the premise. I love me some /x/ style woo woo lore. You're doing a really good job fleshing out the cast, too! I'm indifferent to who rolls, personally.
>>6352204Thanks for the extremely solid update QM!I'll +1 setting and premise.I love the premise and the "quests" inside the quest. Also, your incredible art makes the story even more compelling.I really loved the "Hoe" shower thought which is best pannel of the quest so far (despite the gifs being amazing)What I dislike : our active power seems to suck a lot. Oh well maybe we'll turn it into something useful for real.

It has been millennia since humanity became a star faring race. Enough time for stellar regimes to have risen and fallen, for technologies to be forgotten and relearned and for a diaspora of life; both human and alien to spread across the galaxy.The Raihan Empire is but one splinter of the human diaspora. At its height the Empire spanned eight star systems but eventually corruption and decay set in. The Empire collapsed, its great works crumbled, its worlds became isolated. For a thousand years it was so…Until a new warlord arose on Raiha, one that managed to quell the disparate factions fighting over the Throne world. When all his enemies were vanquished he marched upon the palace district where the remnants of the Imperial family cowered. However, instead of seizing the throne for himself Arcturus Garan pledged himself and his army to the service of the remaining Empress and took the title of Lord Commander.Together the Empress and Lord Commander began the process of rebuilding the Empire, first securing the home system, then bringing each of the wayward colonies back into the fold.Five out of the original eight colonies have been absorbed back into the resurgent Empire. Only the systems of Noto, Higg and Kornen actively resist annexation. Together they have formed the NKH Defence Pact, or simply the Pact.Now the Pact must guard its independence against the growing might of the New Raihan Empire. The odds are not in their favour, they are outnumbered and outgunned, but the Imperial Forces have not yet regained their full power and the war is not over yet…((This quest is an indirect sequel to Space shipyard quest, knowledge of previous threads is not required but it will do much to add context.

>>6355530It was a great ride.On all marks you did excellent. The final battles and moments were well written, and captured the character of the internal factions so well. Going from that bitter ghost fleet scene to the wild ride of the megaton rain, ending with the reality of a post war existence and a touch of comedy for Glasner.Your Choice of music and art was on point. The story didn't revolve around the characters as hard as in the past, instead zooming in and out between the personal and macro really lent a sense of scale to the universe and was enjoyable. And it was all handled with a lot of unscheduled events and raw chaos in a way that worked well while seemingly operating at near zero personal battery.There are a lot of loose ends, and I hope you consider revisiting this strange place again.
>>6355598>Did the (faster) options actually matter?Yes. In the beginning I had a hidden clock that ticked down towards Pact defeat. Choosing longer projects would make it tick down faster, as would failing the dice contest.As the quest progressed and the story started to take on a life of its own I gradually stopped using clocks and did things more based on QM fiat, but fast projects still mattered. Sometimes I'd be thinking of some disadvantage to introduce but decide not to because "The players voted to roll out something quick so this thing isn't going to happen." If the players voted for the quick refits towards the end I'd just skip the dice rolls for complications because the refit was proven.>Was there a route where we could have encouraged House Shimada to declare independence from the Empire?The short answer is no. The long answer is that I briefly considered giving you the opportunity when the Pact conquered Shima but decided against it since I was in a hurry to finish the quest and didn't want to meander along yet another sub-plot. Shirin Shimada was heavily invested in keeping Shima as her fief and while there might have been an angle you could have worked to turn her against the Empire the Pact characters remained unaware of it.>Sequel when?I have no plans to run anything in the near future especially with my current RL situation. Space shipyard quest was never meant to be more than a one shot, but the brain worm kept returning so now it's become this weird story where the perspective shifts every thread. Even then I endeavor to make each thread stand on its own so there's still a sense of closure should I never run again.
>>6355525have we considered getting some fabricators and ship of our own and constructing self replicating robot swarms for resources?
>>6355927Glasner's a genius but he's not that smart.
>>6356091>>6355927also our faction's anti-AI culture would probably preclude making robots independent enough to self-replicate
