No longer mere earthbeings and planetbeings are we, but bright children of the stars! And together we shall dance in and out of ten billion years, celebrating the gift of consciousness until the stars themselves grow cold and weary, and our thoughts turn again to the beginning.

What actually transpires beneath the veil of an event horizon? [spoilers]Decent people shouldn't think too much about that.[/spoilers]
TOTAL MIND WORM DEATH
>>722639572Yang truly was an ascended ideology, too early to be appreciated>>722639679Ctrl-S, anon
>>722639459Reminder that she's the canon victor.
>>722639572Eat my hole, Yang.
>>722640130In my mind, all of the leaders survive to transcend, except Miriam cos fuck her, Deirdre Sky just becomes the dominant personality balancing Planet and the leaders that joined with it, finally achieving peace.
>>722639831Nice tech you got there...
As you can see, the damage was not so great as they say.
Rank the leaders in terms of sanity.
>Unlock cool sounding new tech>See project video>Listen to quote>....the fuck did I just do?
>>722640779In retrospect it was all downhill after this game.
>>722639459I only just found out Deirdre was never a nudist
>>722639459>Sells out the human race to a bunch of mind eating bug-plantsAnd people will still say she isn't the villain of the story.
>>722640314Miriam was fucking right and I'm tired of pretending she wasn't. We must FUCKING dissent
>>722641228She doesn't sell out anything, transcendence is a merging of Planet and human, and will prevent the mass extinction cycle.

>He held his arm too stiffly, and so was thrown back repeatedly, until at last I seized his forearm and snapped it back against itself. His training suffered while the arm healed, of course, but I felt this was a lesson he must learn early, and well.
>>722640314Yang dies early, santiago dies later, and Miriam actively chooses to die on her own terms rather than suffer that gay shit.
>>722640670From most to least>Lal, very measured >Morgan, ruthless but sober>Zakhorav, detached >Yang, smart but sociopathic>Deirdre, talks to planets>Corazon, vicious and paranoid>Miriam, nutso
>>722641847Miriam was literally right about everything.
death by snu snu faction
>>722641847>miriam>nutsoActually listen to the quotes as they play.
>>722641910Her philosophy is fundamentally incompatible with the reality of the situation.
Why was he always so angry?
>>722642047Then why did I stomp Planet into the dirt and win without becoming a schizophrenic sentient planet? Checkmate wormnigger.
>>722641976The tragedy of Earth is not that so many died. Death is an inevitable part of life. The tragedy is that so many died as victims. When the crisis came, they were helpless, unable to use their deaths to buy anything of value. Millions of otherwise intelligent people had been tricked into ignoring a fundamental truth: that no man has any rights if he is unable to personally defend them.
>>722642053chink penis syndrome
>>722641847>Deirdre, talks to planetsBut the Planet does talk man! Like, you just don't understand the Planet, man!! You dig?
>>722642194Dead within a couple of generations.
>>722641847>>722641910>reddit: oh my science! miriam is so le crazy and wacko!meanwhile:"The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, God still watches and judges us. Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the streets of yesteryear. But it was never the streets that were evil."-- Sister Miriam Godwinson, "The Blessed Struggle"
>>722642414>we have literally flown to another planet>there is no bearded man in the clouds watching over us>we have found life created by processes which are utterly alien to ours>BUT GOD IS STILL REAL GUYS I PROMISE
>>722640779>I think, and my thoughts cross the barrier into the synapses of the machine—just as the good doctor intended. But what I cannot shake, and what hints at things to come, is that thoughts cross back. In my dreams the sensibility of the machine invades the periphery of my consciousness. Dark. Rigid. Cold. Alien. Evolution is at work here, but just what is evolving remains to be seen.
>>722642553Yes
>>722642274Yes, she does talk to it. But it's gotta imbalance you a little.
I know people mostly don't like Alien Crossfire factions but I have to say Deirdre's splinter faction being just the same as them but with a holier than thou attitude and even more mind worm worship just fits so perfectly with how her kind of society would actually go.
Some civilian workers got in among the research patients today and became so hysterical I felt compelled to have them nerve stapled. The consequence, of course, will be another public relations nightmare, but I was severely shaken by the extent of their revulsion towards a project so vital to our survival.
Not only does God play dice, the dice are loaded.
>>722643041What is nerve stapling?
>>722643269>???That's the answer. Use your imagination. All we know is it makes people more...compliant.
>>722640176Humanity's hole
>>722643269I don't think the game itself goes into any particular detail, but the general sentiment is that it's very bad and removes drones, so use your imagination.
>>722639572>I tell you that every man is an accident, a twig on the tree of life, an animal which can barely be called sentient or self-aware. If our lives have any meaning, it is as part of the greater whole, which existed long before us and will exist long after we are gone. Those of us who are aware of this fact must step forward, to guide those who remain snugly wrapped in their illusions.
>>722639459We must dissent
>>722643269>He doesn't know how to use the nerve stapleBet you can't use the 3 seashells either
>>722643269It's like being a genejack but without the DNA mod for heightened strength
From the delicate strands,between minds we weave out mesh:a blanket to warm the soul.
For me, it's Yang
>>722643269it's how you turn bad stinky drones into functional citizens
>>722643269Use your imagination to think of something futuristically horrible that lobotomizes peopleOtherwise read the GURPS splatbook
>>722643269When they've determined you're in need of it, you'll find out.
>>722643269It's advise attached to the back of the head that sinks extra thin probes directly into the brain to stimulate it. So you can rapidly play with pain/pleasure receptors until you've obliterated a person's being and made them have an outlook of only thinking about drone slavin for the colony
>>722639459I'm a Santiago man. I cut through the chatter and pontification, and bend the factions to my will.
The drones need you. They look up to you.
>>722643767Santiago was just too basic to work in the game. Survivalism is the first step of every society, its not the end goal. She should've been the mercenary of the original 7 with no direct opposite with an actual philosophy based on violence and might. She should've encapsulated both aspects of 'might makes right': both that those bold enough to take the personal risk of their own lives are the ones entitled to make decisions and also the noblesse oblige aspect, that those with strength are obligated to try and use it for the greatest possible benefit of everyone because a rising tide raises all boats. You could have some genuinely interesting interaction in that but instead she's just bland 'le militarist' girl
>>722643767See how your scientific theories, your green projects, your communal living, your open dialog, your bottom line and your psalms help when I punch you in the throat.
>>722639854>Ctrl-SNo control s on iphones anin
>>722643982>hose with strength are obligated to try and use it for the greatest possible benefit of everyone because a rising tide raises all boatsThat is suggested in some lines, like how the Spartans value protection and education of their children very much, both for the future of the faction, and for the added motivation to their parents to work harder and fight longer.

>>722642553One of the Alien artifacts translate a Gospel
>>722644120Creche's and public education are just standard for militarized states so that you can get the kids inducted into military lifestyles early on. Spartans (the actual ones) had the agoge for a reason. Still, not enough about it when guys like Yang and Morgan had such really defining stuff.The issue with game spartans is that some extended lorebook shit has the creches put near the edges of the city intentionally to make the citizens' defense force fight harder against the mind worms because their kids are literally right behind them instead of safe in the interior.
>>722643269It's a low tech way of doing what Jews do with propaganda.
>>722644280>>722644375Uh... Zakharov bros... our response?
Recon Rover Rick is an inspiration to all. I have all his action figures.
>>722641541I love Geoff Knorr's music
>>722640779>Unlock cool sounding new tech>See project video>Listen to quote>....the fuck did I just do?
>>722639572The true redpill is realizing that Yang was right.
>>722639572Leftists truly don't know conservative values. It really does affect everything they perceive.
>>722640314Miriam was the only one fighting the inhuman dystopia everyone else was happily embracing for a few more % of productivity and control.
>Miriam is objectively right, but she happens to have religious beliefs I don't so screw her>I'm very smart and open minded!

'Abort, Retry, Fail?' was the phrase some wormdog scrawled next to the door of the Edit Universe project room. And when the new dataspinners started working, fabricating their worlds on the huge organic comp systems, we'd remind them: if you see this message, always choose 'Retry.'What are the implications of this one?

They're not just shifting your genetic code they're going even deeper than that changing the carbon atoms of some poor sucker's heart to silicone or some shit so he'll be more resilient against having a nanovirus eat him. They're devouring the very dirt beneath them to spin it into gold, creating small planets to synthesize their desired element on computers made from living parts. They're playing God and treating it like its wagie work.
