Poke the naked guy with my reiterpallasch, see if hes okay.

I've got a suspicion this may end up involving a combat roll.

Ive purposefully left it up to piecewise interpretation, should be fun.

Ohhhh
I just got a hunch about the on-ship event. At first I thought it was weirdly familiar, and now I think I have been there, done that. Enjoy the ride, and good luck, people 

I don't think it's exactly the same though. Mostly because it is happening to everyone with no apparent cause. Plus, someone tried standard countermeasures and it didn't work, so it is either different or much more powerful. But you are right, it is still the most plausible explanation.

Also, I know that there's basically 0% chance of enemy agents with SM on Heph.  If there were, PW would have already used them to delay the flow of my massive tinker posts.  However, OOC, it does lead to the valid concern of security.  As Unholy pointed out, we don't have much to prevent enemies--whether traitors or UWM agents--from infiltrating Heph and wreaking havoc.))

That's not really true, since Steve can see when someone jumps into the system, and surely anyone unexpected jumping in gets his attention in a hurry.

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.

Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”

I answered, “Sir, you know.”

And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."

You get your box and open it. Inside is a hooded robe, loose and crimson, which sleeves which dangle past your hands and a cowl which obscures your face. Stitched in the hood, following the circle of the crown of your head, is a message in gold thread.

"I am constant with the old covenant. I am beyond judgement."

Might be overthinking this, but Kyle's new set of robes might have something to do with the above biblical references. Is synthflesh blood not white? What if he was to cleanse his robes in synthblood?

Personally, I suspect that those robes began the incident. After all, when Kyle watched television after wearing those robes, there was an odd broadcast about forbidden gospels and later, the anomaly began from the television. Perhaps cleansing the robes will end it all?

@Toaster

True, but UWM ships jumping in aren't my worry.  I'm more afraid of someone who's supposed to be here betraying us.  Say, an inmate like Leo deciding that he wants to hurt ARM, and setting a nuke off in the command center.  Or the UWM, who have presence on Q'baja, planting an agent in one of the construction crews we get from there.

[Corsair]

Anyone else noticed all the biblical references with the recent events:
"too the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone"

This refers to the ark of the covenant which contains the tablets with the original ten commandments. The hidden manna is the measure of manna placed within the ark by Aaron under the command of Moses who was commanded by God. The reason it is specifically this manna is that the other manna that was kept became rotten, with maggots and a bad smell. The stone of Mt Sinai is a light tan coloured rock that is almost white in direct sunlight this is likely what is meant by the white stone. However the actual nature of the stone and manna is likely not a tablet and a peice of bread "white like cardamon seed and tasting like wafers of honey and dates". The actual nature will be representative; the stone some sort of immutable basic law or something similarly immutable and the manna possibly some endless source of resources.

The long scene involving the sheep of seven horns and seven eyes speaking of Phobetor

couple of biblical (and one greek) thing/s happening here.

1-The lamb with seven horns and eyes is the lamb of god (jesus), Jesus is also known as the word of god and of the three aspects is most often seen as a messenger/catalyst/harbinger with the holy spirit while fulfilling a similar role is geared more toward power to overcome challenges and save people e.g. the apostles are given the power of tounges so they can spread the word as wide as possible. Another thing about the lamb is that the seven eyes aren't eyes they are "seven eyes, which are the seven spirits God sent out into all the earth", as there is no mention of what these spirits are except possibly the seven archangels some of whom are mentioned as going down to earth. Also the lamb is only a severed head in the revelations passage the lamb looks as if it has been slain. Decapitation is obviously a method of killing things [citation needed].

2-Phobetor is the greek thing. Phobetor is an embodiment of dreaming (Oneroi) that was the child of Nyx primordial god of night and Erebus the god of darkness (according to cicero). What did phobetor do? It took the form of animals to interact with people and also appeared in nightmares as animals or monsters. *cough*serialkiller*cough*

P.S. Id continue but unsure if anyone is interested and typing this much and checking stuff is time consuming

Fuck, I just realized Kyle may have unintentionally become an apostle. Which is actually kind of funny.

[Empiricist]

I don't think it's so much that he became an apostle as much as he has the robes of a martyr. Which is either really good, or really bad seeing as he certainly wasn't martyred, unless being conscripted into the HMRC counts.

[Omeganaut]

So we should martyr Kyle on the fourth wall?  Sounds good!

[Empiricist]

Not too sure how this works. I mean, it's meant to designate people exempt from God's wrath, but the closest thing there is to God seems to be the Sheep who doesn't seem very wrathful. Plus it might depend on whether wearing a martyr's clothes makes whatever eldritch entity mistake him for one, or just pisses them off when they assume he mugged a martyr or something.

Only idea I have in mind would be to get synthblood over it and to try running through one of the summoned walls or something.

[kj1225]

Well, no matter what happens Kyle's going to get real religious soon.

[sambojin]

I don't know how cludge-fuckery pw wants to do it, but maybe the Sword is doomed. With brown stuff on the walls and not a fan to be seen. Then we've definitely got Heph and Desert-BUM-FUCK-PLANET-01. Pick your spawn point newbs. We may have to nuke one of these planets anyway.

I'm genuinely more worried about that horrible little spidermedicbot thing you've set on me.
