It's probably no secret that the Doctor still has some Altered DNA kicking around somewhere (even before the Ivan incident.)  Reengineer it so it can't achieve spaceflight, then drop it on a particularly troublesome planet.

Assuming you don't take a super long time to tell us, we won't be able to act anyway, since the Heph thread is frozen.  Plus, we need to be told about Xan before we can do anything anyway.

I'll send the message IC as soon as I can. Kinda wanna have M17 fully wrapped first though, but that shouldn't take long.

What is your... authority, compared to us?  Do you have an equivalent vote to the Heph heads, or do you have executive power thanks to being the General?

I could overrule Simus when he was solely in charge, so I kinda think it'd be the second. Though I preferably don't outright overrule whenever possible.


I'm starting to wonder if we even should bother with recreating fleshwarp powers, now that we have sharkmist which can do much of the same things (but seems to be more reliable, and is available for practical applications right now).

It seems you have outlived your usefulness xan. You know what that means!

As a side note, if we are to have any sort of public image at all, it might be a good idea to distance ourselves from not only the UWM, but also the Altered, as much as possible.

Time for me to suicide flesh nuke Hephaestus, wrecking most of your infrastructure and maybe killing some of you before I either go down or go STAN again?

You do kinda need to wake up first.

Although at the same time, we do also sort of want to find out what effect do our shiny new mindfuck cannons have on living fleshwarp anomalies.

So, you know that troll science thing where someone powers a sailboat using a fan? And how it obviously wouldn't work because of equal and opposite reactions.

Well, what if one were to use a kinetic amp instead of a fan, because kinetic amps don't provide an equal and opposite reaction. The kinamp would have to be modified to provide less force over a longer period of time for it to work.

If we put one on some sort of striker mechanism, it could be used as a motor, though it would probably be outclassed by conventional motors in most cases.
It might be very useful for melee combat because it could amplify the force of blades, including monoblades. Or you could even use it to power a club, then put kinetic amps on the club for even more power.

If you can find a way to make the one where you can go at light speed by pointing a flashlight behind you and tuning it on that'd be pretty baller.

Troll science: Light always travels at the speed of light relative to everything else. Therefore, you are always travelling at the speed of light relative to light. Problem solved.

Oh! Oh! Sticking fire in a freezer to have a reheatable fire is a thing in troll science, so why not stick an exploding nuclear bomb in a super freezer that freezes the explosion as soon as it goes off so you can have throwable nuclear explosions?

The biggest problem with the kin. Amp motor is that they (probably) use soul batteries, rather than electricity.  It might be cheaper to just propel your craft using an automanip.

PW has said that very large automanips have a self-replenishing supply of souls.  I should really look into using one as a soul generator, and try to figure out what the maximum energy density we can obtain with souls is.

I like how you're more curious as to how to use it for maximum energy production that into the mechanics of a self-fueling soul engine.

Reality is getting destroyed because of space magic? Better ramp it up to industrial-scale processes.
