You are LCdr Dallas Annon of the Terran Protectorate Navy, and against the Captain’s wishes you are investigating the secrets at the core of the TPN Coober Pedy — the last live voidship in this sector of the ravaged galaxy.>1/6Previously on Voidship Bridge Simulator…For the first time since you received your late brother’s command implant, you remember your dreams. Nightmares, really, but not natural ones. For once you have awoken with your memories (mostly) intact; you can recall the simulated scenario forcing you into command of the ship and attempting to condition you into placing its well-being first. Guard — the malign intelligence behind these trials and the most functional AI subsystem remaining of the vessel’s defective ‘Trinity ShipOS’ — made the choice to seal away your mysterious new friend Peedee, which allowed you to escape the simulation to the waking world without a memory wipe. As the dream faded, you promised the young intelligence that you’d find and free her, and you’re determined to follow through. It was not a clean escape, however. Immediately upon waking, you received an urgent summons from your Father — the ship’s Captain — a summons which it seemed the very ship itself was trying to make you late for, what with the unnatural shuddering, untimely full elevators and strange damage showing up in your path. When you finally arrived, your Father informed you that your implant had been compromised by the ship’s firewall — a fate he revealed that also befell your elder brother and had led to his untimely demise. Determined to keep you safe, your Father rewrote your implant’s registry codes and deactivated it. He ordered you not to share whatever restricted information triggered this episode with anyone, and to cease digging into the ship’s secrets lest he lose another son.But you had a promise to keep, and the mysteries at the core of your voidship (and the ‘Trinty’ AI system) seemed directly related to your missing friend: PD-113. Despite the hindrance of your now deactivated command implant, you were determined to defy your Father and the ship’s AI and find the ghost in the machine. Stopping by the damaged section of the maze-like voidcore deck, you recovered a sample of strange grey goo that had leaked from the four diagonal gashes that had torn through the bulkhead like wet paper and were now being hastily repaired.

So to settle this I could really use your help, Commander. You have access to the originals as a Science officer right? Think you can help us out, Sir?” You smirk and roll your eyes slightly, feigning only half-hearted interest for anyone caring to observe.“I’m sure that could be arranged.” The human nods slowly, a slight gleam in his eye. “But you’ll have to beat Beta watch fair and square first. And when you fail to do that, I think I’ll take the first swig of that bottle myself.” He laughs suddenly and slaps your arm, holding out a hand to shake. You quickly take it and try not to wince as he grips it tight.“So what’ll it be?” He asks. “We issued the challenge, well one of us did.” He glances over his shoulder at his struggling Nav officer, still cursing and flailing at the towering Ulveng man holding her at arm’s length. “So it’s your preference on the means of battle — a four-on-four sounds fair.”You nod and quickly come up with some options that would play to the strengths of your available crew. You turn to converse with your them — the chaos having finally been forcefully ended by a longsuffering Isobel who now has Cleo by the ear and Kiro in a headlock — and come to a decision:Comment too long.

In the not so distant future, deep down under the ocean floor, humanity discovers a strange, anomalous substance. Once collected and brought inside the search vessel, the crew of the submarine (barring the captain) attempted to examine it further. However, when the container was unsealed, the substance instantly turned invisible and blended into the air. Ten minutes later, the captain walked into the room, worried about his crew, only to find them in a state of absolute madness. One was rolling on the floor sobbing, another was screaming loudly while covering his ears. Sitting amongst them and many other wailing men was a woman, the captain's daughter and a crewmate in training, who simply stared at him, with a huge smile on her face.Liao. That's what we called it then, that's what we call it now. The etymology of this name is unknown, as is the person who named it. An extremely unusual substance, it is usually extremely toxic to humans, though once purified using a special machine it's capable of shifting itself into anything you desire at the cost of your life force. From a cup of water to a gigantic gattling gun. For unknown reasons, its negative effects are significantly reduced on female test subjects, with the purified version being especially harmless to young women.Skipping a couple of centuries forwards, we arrive at the present time. The age of Sirius, our glorious Empire. Once the Liao had been "tamed" by humanity, it greatly helped our ascension into the space age. Leaving that decayed blue rock behind, we've spread far and wide across the galaxy, facing no competition along the way... Apart from our own kind, of course. Humans are that kind of animal y'know? When prosperity is at our doorstep, we immediately start fighting each other for the biggest slice of the pie. Liao-powered tanks, spaceships and mechs were used at first in planet-wide wars for the control of entire solar systems, but there was one major problem. Although they were extremely powerful, they were also extremely costly, and not just in terms of money. Since machines do not have life force, it was common for soldiers to use animals, plants or even captured prisoners (extremely illegal, by the way!) as fuel to power their weapons, but even then they would barely last half a day before shutting down. Liao weapons are convenient for small scale conflict, but bigger and bigger weapons require more and more life force, rendering the substance itself borderline useless for large scale space battles.That was, until a group of scientists from the glorious Sirius Empire had made a major breakthrough! Researching further into the connection between females and the substance, it was discovered that, using special devices strapped around their heads, girls from 9 to 20 years of age could tap into the Liao at a very minimal cost, one that could be easily satiated with a special carbohydrate, lipid and glucose diet. The young women of our nation had been given a blessing.

This was so messy behind the scenes it changed how I wrote Batquest for the future. I didn’t write any of Paris ahead so I was making things up as I went. This led to more delays as I had to figure out what was going to happen AND write what was going to happen. I am mostly satisfied with how it turned out and I like how I used some themes that would be followed up on in later issues but the sloppiness of its production is what led me to write flowchart outlines for Issues 3 and 4.Ducard is a French detective who helped train Bruce. He debuted in Detective Comics Vol 1 #599 by Sam Hamm, Denys Cowan, Dick Giordano, Frank McLaughlin, Adrienne Roy &Todd Klein.My vision of the character was meant as a twist on the “asshole mentor” archetype seen with Genkai and Pa Mei. Instead of the “he’s a total dick but he gets results” concept it's “he’s a dick, and being a good detective isn't a pass for that.”I feel I could have executed that idea a bit better, especially with the racism.Dick Grayson was made a Roma in the Devin Grayson run, and while her writing has a LOT of issues, Dick’s heritage has taken off as a core part of his character.Comment too long.

>>6047542https://archived.moe/qst/thread/5180270/#q5206071Ross going from a super pulpy mad scientist to a casual snarker once he’s on his meds provides a bit of levity. It also shows in this setting being a “mad scientist” is essentially a mental health condition that can be treated. I previously talked about not using the League of Assassins for this quest because I hadnt figured out a take on them that wasn't so “Fu Manchu-y.” While to date I do think I figured out how I would do them, I like how Kobra became this quest's designated villain group.Kobra’s backstory of beeingfounded by some guy twisting actual religion into a supervillain group was both a meta take on Orientalism in genre fiction and a reference to the GI Joe Cobra. The Larry Hama written origin of Kobra was that it was founded by a used car salesman who taped into suburban American resentment. The Cult of Kobra being an in-universe Mormonism/Nation of Islam/Black Israelite/3HO style warping of Hinduism also explains its various “inaccuracies.”Cobra being based on an older philosophy was inspired by"'The Most Dangerous Man in the World" an unproduced GI Joe episode written by Buzz Dixon where we meet the man who created the philopshy Cobra commander twisted into Cobra. The Kobra ranks (Bestwowed, Lancehead, Naga) are from Greg Rucka’s Checkmate run.The Eye of the Serpent would have had you confront Kobra directly. It was named after Kobra vol 1 #5, written by Martin Pasko. Choosing who to save, or whether to save someone or go for a mission was a common theme in early Batquest. Tyger, Tyger was named after the Batman the Animated Series episode written by Cherie Wilkerson from a story by Michael Reaves and Randy Rogel. The following sequence adapts much of that episode.

You are Kuroda Haruka and King Lot of Lothian, Orkney, and Camelot. Yes, you decided to add King of Camelot to your titles. Why not? No one is going to stop you. You charged back into the World to hunt down a terrible Wyvern who ate two of your vassals and fled into a strange and terrifying manor. It turns out this manor contains yet another monster from Avalon, and it has managed to trap you. This unknown and unseen opponent has driven your guide away with fear. On top of all this, you also have to deal with the Errant Knight Gareth. While she was willing to partner up with you to defeat the Wyvern, you weren't able to convince her that another enemy was trapping everyone in the manor. Yes, that's right. There are not one, not two, but THREE problems that need excessive violence to resolve. So far, one is dead; two more to go.You don't want to fight Gareth right now but she refuses to cooperate.

You sit against a pale oak. From atop this hill, you take calm survey of the few hundred souls gathering in the open valley below. Most of them probably made it through, you thought. The recent hop to this new otherworld took a lot out of you. At least you landed here, on this solemn hill, away from the masses whose lives depended on your power. A small reprieve from the crushing responsibility of shepherdship. Movement in the wilted grass catches your attention. A slithering, baleful blot of deep purple inched its way towards the gathering crowd. It hardly manages a snail's pace, far flung from its all-devouring cohort to the west. These hops must be wearing you down, your ironclad grip on the Vice loosening bit by sacred bit. You extend your hand over the squirming evil and curl your fingers into a claw. Panic overtakes the blot as your sacred power pulls it through the air and into your open palm. It twists and writhes pointlessly against the only force it truly feared. A stabbing pain shooting through your arm confirms its imprisonment. You turn your palm over and give it a tired look, and your palm stares back. Your eyes are lost for a moment in the impossible depths of the well inlaid into your palm. Subtle whorls churned endlessly along its walls, a sense of vertigo creeping up as you glance closer to the center of the maw. It was near empty, you sense, the morsel you just captured breaking down somewhere deep within. The sharp pain from before settles in, festering in your wrist and chest; a persistent ache that would last until the captured Vice was completely broken down. Truthfully, though, you found the churning pain somewhat calming. A small drop compared to what came before, and surely pales in comparison to what lies ahead. For now, in this moment, on this hill, under this tree, there was peace, paid for with simple pain.You enjoy the calm for a few moments more until the pressure of reality sets in. Pressure from the west, the ravenous corrupting wave of Vice surging forth, tearing this fresh otherworld to pieces, breaking down existence itself in a mad dash to complete its unholy mission. Pressure from the north, those wayward souls clinging onto life in the wake of the world’s end, in need of a hopper to guide them. Pressure from the east, the Holy Font calling to any shepherds that remained, pulling them inexorably forward. There was no room for complacency anymore, especially not for you.

It's the 747th year of the Empress' Calendar. The months of Ascending Fire fill the air with heat and humidity. Even on the Blessed Isle, which typically enjoys moderate temperatures all year, the citizens suffer as the night fails to bring them sweet relief.But few are in so much pain as one of the scions of House Mnemon. This woman of unusually pure blood, for one born outside The Realm at least, married into the house just a decade ago. Her husband, grandson and direct descendant of Mnemon herself, paces back and forth outside her room. He stops only when a howl is heard from inside. His hand lays on the hilt of his sword, though it is of little use now. Powerless, he turns his attention inwards and does the one thing he hasn't done since he was but a child, and prays to the Elemental Dragons for fortune.Inside his wife fights what is, undoubtedly, the most important battle of her entire life. She must bring the newest Prince of the Earth to Creation, it is her duty. But she does not fight alone. By her side are four midwives, two dozen servants, two astrologers waiting for the miracle to happen, and even a sorcerer, one of her husbands relatives here to assist if needed. It is a long, drawn out battle that rages for hours on end, but finally, after much pain the first cries of the newborn prince much of the tension vanishes from the room. Already the astrologers frantically scurry to record the exact second and date of the child's birth, so they may create a horoscope for it and divine its future."The birth happened at night, when the sky was clear. Most auspicious. And look: a shooting star, good omen. Ah, and it was born under the sign of The Banner in its ascending aspect! The child is assured to have a most grand destiny indeed!""M-Master? If one shooting star is auspicious, what does two mean?""What? By the dragons! That means-"The lady of the house almost immediately began screaming once more. Another baby was on its way. Twins they are. This second one however came out much quicker. The midwives joked about how it must be missing its sibling. But some of the servants were worried. The Scarlet Dynasty always welcomed multiple births, as it means more dragons. But some more superstitious, some would say "heretical", people think it a bad sign. Some folk tales speak of the favor of Heaven being divided between the two, or one receiving nothing but good fortune while the other only ill. The Dynasts pay little attention for such nonsense."How… are they?"Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Despite everyone living in the massive megacomplex called the City saying it's a very bad idea, you are still Nicole Smith. You still have your anomalous powers and you still have the voices screaming in your head. You're still a Cleaner, a a deniable asset used by massive mega-corporations called the Alphabet Companies and anyone else willing to pay you. Most of your jobs are from your Handler a member of a powerful family who asks you to check up on things or 'clean' up messes for him.Over the last few days, you've had a lot on your plate. You explored an old, nearly abandoned W-Corp mine in search of a missing girl from the prestigious Vanni family while trying to avoid the other corpos who were trying to find the missing girl as well. On the way down, you managed to find out how corrupt the mayor of the town was and that the missing girl came down there under false pretenses. You then worked together with the corpos to let the mayor die while they clean up the mess left behind. You managed to find out what W-Corp's singularity was in the meantime and after everything settled down, you gave two of your allies (Max and Benjamin) an injection of ICP Energy to awaken an anomalous Spark in them. Who knows what will develop of this? Hopefully the couple is happy with the decision they made.After a series of tense dinner discussions and corporate negotiations, you found an odd satellite in the middle of your district and the question on who owns it and why it exists lingers in the back of your mind. Before you can think any further on it, you then prepared to investigate a series of mysterious tunnels that were propping up all over J-Corp's district to find out what the hell is going on. Now that you're exploring with six of your allies, including a weird cowboy and a schizophrenic mess of a woman from W-Corp, you found out that it's from an old P-Corp facility trying to unseal itself after decades underground. If you don't stop it, you worry that the intense amount of A-Energy leaking into the air will destroy the surface. It's already raining a lot and from what you know, the rain is caused by the A-Energy being let out.So be it. Anything to wash out those god damn Silver Agents hunting you. You'll make sure they'll drown down there.ARCHIVE: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=CleanerComment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>6051885QM, could we do the stakeout while sending other allies to do other tasks? If we do the stakeout we’re going to have four people sitting around with their thumbs up their asses.
>>6052124I hope we can do this. So it'd be>Nicole + Frank + HandlerThey have a nice chat>Maruyama + AlexisThey handle the suited trio, but do we need to if we're staking out?>Adam + BenedictThey keep eyes and ears open. Adam watches the doors, Benedict watches the bar and restaurant areas?
>>6052137That sounds rock solid. We need to break the ice, and Adam and Benedict could spot any weirdness in the restaurant staff given their experience. Do we put a finger on the staring guy or just let them sort it out?
>>6052137I’ll +1 that, provided QM allows it.

>>6050742Espurr nods. Yeah, well, if the Guild League will be so enthused, why don't they send a boat over to bring Espurr to their little hideout so they may be at home amongst their fellow intellectuals? That would be suitable payment for their important information.Oh well.Espurr takes their money and just stares at the gold. What the fuck?
>>6050742>Evan gains riches!"Sweet, thanks.">He's happy, he has a literal bar of gold. Glorious.

It has been 100 years since ancient beings, known as the Old Ones, walked the Earth with their two strong feet. Now they are gone and we animals now rule the remains that they left behind. With our new knowledge of sword and sorcery, we were able to survive in peace for a while, but then came the three factions.The Apes: Strong giants, claiming to be as just as the old ones and believe they should be the ones to rule over the new world.The Pigs: An intellectual but slothful group who wish to rule the world with an iron hoof and remain kings while the others remained as dumb animals.Then there the Lizards: A fast and large group that want to set the world a blaze. Trying to forget the harsh past that the old ones left.All three sides wishing to go war and destroy one another to bring in what they believe to be true peace.But, unbeknownst to everyone, there was another group. One that was trying their best to find a way to heal everyone. To bring back order.You found it.... and now you are taking care of it.A D&D Homebrew Adventure.Previous Quests:https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Rise%20of%20the%20Awakened
>>6050382Hmm an interesting weapon but definitely something to hide until needed as for healing against parasites typically parasites are capable of tricking the defender cells of the body into allowing them to stay so unless the healing process pushes the parasite back via healing the damaged tissue and crush the tendrils the best it will do is heal other parts of the body, but there may be an alternative, how adapt is Harold at moving in extreme small places or carefully manipulating objects? If he’s capable he might be able to just go in and dissolve the parasite like how defender( immune cells) (bears are in deed pioneering germ theory and medical science)
>>6050409Like how defender cells over power intruder cells (bacteria, etc)
Popping in to confirm that I definitely won't be available tomorrow. Have a good week guys, I'll see you on Tuesday, or whenever the next session is.

>>6051514HAPPY 4th of july
Is it always this warm out here? The sun beats down on dust and debris and all the curling, serpentine line of soldiers strung out behind you. Each and all sweat-stained and wind-bit, tramping down the well-trod road to the Spanways. The churning deluge sometimes slaps a wave against the dug canals and water-kissed channels, the spray a miracle of sudden damp and briefly respite from the sun on high. Up ahead, the morning mists swirl around another of the Grey Commitees wonderful projects. The Spanway. Marble-wrought, concrete-secured, ten pillar strong bridge of bridges, high, vast, imposing, rated for storms, shocks, waves, earthquakes and if the builders knew their worth perhaps even enemy sabotage, invasion or the breaking of nations.Capture this side and the Sparksworn are denied the South. Capture this side, and Legion High from distant Fideli Gate can send in more supplies, more troops, more reinforcements.Capture this side, and the civilians in the region can pass by on the highway and properly evacuate what is rapidly becoming a loud, active front in the on-going River Wars.And if we capture this side.Then perhaps we can capture their side too?
