hey. in light of sorrows message i figure we should get organized. who went out on the ships to collect fragments? and whats the plan w. those fragments?
the gods? yeah. i get not liking them. theyre holding us hostage. having a personal grudge is a shit reason to refuse to work w. them tho. they may be keeping us here but theyre our best chance of getting home. too many ppl take the shit they do to us personally.
So do I. I want to go home. Especially since it sounds like even they aren't immune to the fragments' effects. It's a risk for them, but an even bigger risk for us if we keep them. I haven't been here long enough for anything really awful to happen.
bad shit will happen soon enough dw. the only saving grace w. the events is that theyre temporary. i wouldnt be surprised if we had to deal w. the null again soon tho. thatll be the worst thing yet when it does happen.
I can handle it. I've been through "bad shit" at home. That's what I've heard. Those are the robots I've heard about? You were here when they invaded the first time?
damn. thats a good trait to have. lol. we dont always have a say when it comes to god events tho. sorry. uh. well. thats a big question. scary for one. theyre robots so theyre made of metal and tough to take down. theres a soda can thing in em that u have to destroy. some kind of processor. idk how it works but theyll keep comin until u take that out. the rest of their bodies are fluid. they can transform. theyre tough to predict bc of that.
If I don't want to be touched, I can't be touched. I don't care what some aliens calling themselves gods say. That sounds like highly advanced technology. Even where I'm from, we don't have machines that can transform themselves at will.
are u talking abt some kind of shield ability or smth? just sayin ur gonna hold out during events thru sheer force of will isnt gonna get u very far. for ex. im near impervious to enchantment and illusion magic these days. these events still knock me on my ass most of the time. w.e kind of magic they use its not like anything im familiar w. ur normal defenses prob wont work. sorry. anyway yeah. theyre very advanced tech. ive never seen anything like it except for like magically animated golems and shit. the null arent that. theres no magic involved idt.
No, it means that I can become untouchable. If I phased and you tried to touch me, it would go straight through me. [there's a long pause in replies] I don't like the idea of aliens sprocking around with my emotions. It's not right. Do you think they're coming back? The Null, I mean.
whoa. thats a handy ability. yeah. the null will be back eventually. no way of telling when but its not like we had too much warning when they showed up the first time. were better equipped to deal w. them now but theyre also better equipped to deal w. us. we only stopped the first invasion by running away.
In my home dimension, everyone can do it. I just happened to phase through the wrong thing at the right time and was invited to join the Legion. At least you had some warning. Better a little than none. Because they evolve, for lack of a better word? Sometimes a retreat is all you can do.
technically theyre not. theyre after the gods and were in the way. were collateral dmg which is worse imo. before they invaded they offered us a deal. we could sell out the gods and help the null and theyd spare us. gettin on the nulls side meant killing ppl on a hitlist tho. fuck that.
[she's reminded uncomfortably about the Daxamites and the battle she left in the middle of when she arrived here] They wanted us to kill other people here? Please tell me that no one took them up on it.
yeah. anyone that pissed them off got put on a list for being defiant. ppl did take em up on it sorry to say. not many but a few. idk who tho. they might not be around anymore. its been a long time.
ur exactly right. the null put kids on the hitlist bc they asked questions. im not the gods biggest fan by any stretch but they dont put out hits on fucking kids.
its only happened that once. ig they showed up on the network not long before i got here. the attack happened a few months later. its been almost a year since then.

The Null?

we dont always have a say when it comes to god events tho. sorry.

thats a big question.
scary for one. theyre robots so theyre made of metal and tough to take down.

given what their bodies can do im not ruling out evolution.

Even in the 30th century, we don't have intelligent machines that can evolve.
Theoretically evolve.

You're right, the gods are jerks, but they don't try to get kids killed.
no subject
im not usually in the habit of picking sides but we dont have a choice these days.
at least its an easy decision.
