Oh dear.

Way to go, though. Way to go out with a bang.

That's the spirit.  Who knows, though?  You may survive.

[Ozarck]

History will be written by the ones who inject space gods into themselves and survive, I should think. So everybody's gotta do it! There's got to be at least one statistical outlier among us all, right?

Grate tried, and failed. Luckily for us, Maurice will increase our sample size!

Timmy makes two.

STAN might qualify as well.

There can't only be three people who messed with alien space magic on a mission and tried to put it inside their bodies or minds.

[Nikitian]

Come on, it's three-for-three on injecting space magic and surviving! And even keeping their existential selves and personalities (the parts of those that matter, anyway)! Sanity, however, might be a whole different question...

Doesn't help that some ignorant and self-righteous heathens decided to kill two of the three before they could properly ascend. Thankfully, both Paracelsus's Sword and the AM are currently far, far away from here.

There's alien space magic (the pyramid that wrecked Milno's arm), and there's "alien space gods."

I thought of STAN also, but that was a little different. Yes, they were in the process of becoming an alien space god, to be sure, but ...

I wonder if Pancaek's experience with the white planet counts.

I think it does. For a brief moment he was a god, or equivalent of one. But that was xenospit speaking, not technical spess magic.

STAN should count, because, well, Stacy and his painting. Residual traces of "alien space god", if you wish. (According to the Doctor as reported by Xan, anyway.)

As for Pancaek, dunno. It definitely should, because reasons, but I think it wasn't quite fully injected; at least, as far as lasting changes go. Or, more properly, this injection could be dormant, like in Stacy's case. Maybe M21 experience would help him unleash that potential?.. "Let's escalate the situation further, shall we?"

(Btw, brilliant RPing, Aoshima. I thought about shooting Maurice outright, to "kill him for now and revive later", but this is also very cool.)

Also, can someone explain why of all people on the mission 21, both Team Leaders had to bite the spess-magick bullet? Newly appointed Team Leaders, take note! Name the next-in-line for command beforehand! (This is soo fun when a Chekhov's Gun that shoots you in the leg is the one you put on the stage in the first place. In case, just theoretically, that you'd have to be shot in the leg during the play according to the script. )

Ulrich got no plan for this situation, this situation calls for action. Incidentally his core tenets are:
"Be familiar with enviroment and options, but be ready act on instinct."
"Information is needed for action, but lack of information must not prevent action."

So going with instinct there.



And shooting does solve problems.

[Parisbre56]

Flint once tried to eat a bite out of a mundane looking, methane breathing, carbon eating beetle. You know, a small one, just to see what it tastes like. Though he didn't, because the universe/his intuition told him it was probably a bad idea. Don't know if that counts as injecting weird stuff into yourself.

[Pancaek]

Hey Nik, if Maurice becomes a god, could you be a pal and give Pan his body and mind back?

And if he becomes an abomination upon reality hell bent on destroying the planet, could you try and not destroy pan. thanks.

[Parisbre56]

I just realized something else. With the way things are going, we may have two missions in this cycle finished in record time.

[Xantalos]

Depending on what exactly Xan was, and what his capabilities were really (if only I could've mastered doing breaking the laws of conservation of mass I needed more willpower) I think he was a 'successful' example of a space godlike thingy.
Admittedly, Doctor, but still.

Gonna see if I can't have a talk with him after this mission...

[AoshimaMichio]

I just realized something else. With the way things are going, we may have two missions in this cycle finished in record time.

M22: 62 days
M6: 62 days
M7: 57 days
M3: 41 days
M2: 21 days
M5: 16 days
M4: 14 days
M1: 11 days

Unless you mean in post-rebellion time.

[Nikitian]

Regarding mission length, I think we should adjust figures for turn frequency, and count the length of any mission in Piecewise's posts. That would make for a more interesting and meaningful statistic, I believe.

Is there an easy way to count amount of Piecewise's posts in a given thread?
