((You... Guys do know I have a FOB there, right? I may be incommunicado right now, but you know I'm on-planet.))

Well, I suppose it's been established we're not going to harm them. Bring up another dead animal and offer it to the most important looking person there (that isn't part of my team )

[Ozarck]

I'm not sure. We've sent probes far and wide. I haven't gotten reports back yet though. Gather your crew and get to the largest ship we can transport. We'll send you if we can.

((yes, we know you are on teh origin planet in OrgyVerse. We don't deem that 'safe' due to the sattelite blocking the formation of some proteins, and the civilization that is apparently actively doing this. If necessary, we can launch all manner of stuff to you, and perhaps send some ordinance to the satellite to destroy it, but we'd like a safer option too.))

[Lenglon]

Well, looks like we might be outta luck here, what with the NEw God eating the HEphaestus system. I had intended to send some of yo uto Orgyverse to test Origin tech, which works like it did in this universe before the Lurker showed up, apparently. I had also intended to find a place for us outside the range of the alien empire that is keeping humanity from developing properly there. as it is, there seems little time.

I suggest we evacuate as quickly as possible, preferably to another ARM world located far away from here, and rebuild our EUEs there. We can try this another day.

Sorry, Miss. It looks like I brought you here at exactly the wrong time. We've got another universe eater spreading in this system, so those tests are probably gonna have to wait. If we can get them done at all. Sending you out of universe now would very possibly be a one way thing. ou may want to head back throuhg to the planet yuo were on - Paracelsus' Sword is there, I believe.

...
I guess I'm returning to M27 then. Back through the portal I go.

Ok

[Kedly]

Thanks. I'll try to stick to the area you sent me for at least a month in case were able to stop whatever this new god of death is

Get the largest ship capable of both comfortable transport and delivery, as well as combat. Load an EUE into it, and pack it with as high a population of humans as is comfortable, with a colonist ratio of 1 combat skilled colonist (preferably take from our mercenary pool) for every 10 non combat. Take an Mk-3 with flight level milno plate for myself as well as a Sibilus" Rocket/Gauss Hybrid Rifle. Have myself and the merc crew load as much weapons and ammo as we can on this turn, and have the non combat colonists load as much food as they can. Other players are welcome on the ship if they are able to make it to the ship in time. This turn is for acquiring and loading a colony ship, next turn will be for transport of said ship to orgy-verse

Shall we salt the earth we leave behind? Access those universes that were deemed too dangerous, and let their deluge spill once it reaches each chamber?

Evac on a warship out of the system.

It's risky. We don't know what reaction that would provoke. Like oxygen and hydrogen, the mixture cold become harmless and beneficial, like water, or could become a fiery explosion that destroys us all. I'd like to wait for evacuation to advance as such as possible, but then again, this thing grows at alarming rates. perhaps 1, 1, 0 would help - maybe that universe will corrode it. Yo uhave my permission, if you can get Saint's as well. or 0, -1, 0 - that one is not blacklisted. Even that one with the giant tentacle which pulled the room in could work, maybe.

((popping in here to say I'll be joining kedly on orgy-verse exploration...guess I got my wish))

[Doomblade187]

((Han wanta to live, so with the evacuation crew he shall go.))

[Twinwolf]

((So I'm assuming Petra should be evacuating too?))

[DoctorMcTaalik]

((Unless Petra is suicidal, yeah.))

[Twinwolf]

Evacuate with Han and the others.

[syvarris]

Might as well stop procrastinating about this, I suppose.  I dislike having no idea what to do.

1.Last turn, Saint rendezvoused with several other players and a portal generator.  Can that portal generator make a portal large enough to send a warship through, and could it make a portal that connects to a pocket dimension which has a portal to the space above M27?

2.If the answer is that I cannot use a portal genner to evac, check whether or not I can get to Heph and through a portal in two hours.  If even that is impossible, start heading for the Jump Point, unless the god is in the way... in which case just get far away from the thing.

3.Modifications to Zbridges' turn: tell his people to pick up Simus and Anton too.  Also, if he doesn't install mind mods because of a lack of consent, order the mods installed anyway.  Fuck consent, we've got a god to kill.

4.Note about Kedly's turn: We don't have another EUE preassembled.  If he wants to take one with him, he'll have to deconstruct one of the two which exist in this system.  Not that it matters since EUEs are bigger than the things they can transport, but still.

5.Oz has been shooting the god with all weapons that are available, for awhile.  This includes a lot of nuclear gauss cannons, and a remarkably broad assortment of lasers.  Have they had any noticable effect?

6.If not, contact the cavernverse (via our comms EUE) and tell them to start transferring specific probes into specific dangerous universes, and then into the center of the alien god thing.  Then leave the probes, not sending them anywhere else.  Also, send multiple from each universe.  Specific universes to do this with are:

(2,12,25): We're not sure what this one saw because anyone that looked at the footage began screaming uncontrollably and often attempted self mutilation.
(0,8,8): Sods looking at the probe die.
(12,63,87): The probe came back and from our perspective the view from the cameras distorted, the sods said something about trees, the lights in the room vanished and lasers started tearing the room apart.

Also use probes sent to these ones, because Oz granted permission to send probes to blacklisted universes:

(-36,-36,-36): The probe returns far faster than it should, and it's trailing something. The air in the test chamber distorts and an enormous limb reaches out. It grabs hold of the wall of the test chamber and pulls. From cameras outside the chamber, in space, you can watch as the entire chamber seems to be pulled impossibly in on itself and then vanishes.
(0,0,57): The universe that made people think they were melting.
(1,1,0): Corroding hell. Probe returned violently, falling from several feet in the air onto the ground, breaking into pieces like rotten wood when it did. It appeared to have rusted badly, turning greenish brown and partially dissolving. The rust like substance spread from the probe to the ground the instant it made contact and began to expand outward.
(3,4,5): Another home of the Lurker.  Only send this probe if we can attach a bomb to it beforehand, with multiple remote detonation codes prepared.

7.If the god is STILL a problem, tell the cavernverse to change strategy; instead of teleporting probes from a dangerous universe and then into the god, tell them to teleport probes into the god and then into dangerous universes.  Spread the attempts between nulls and the dangerous universes mentioned above.

8.This question should likely have been asked before, but you know we send probes into a null universe and look at them with a second probe before returning them to our home universe, right?  In this case, was the observation probe the one that infected us?

[Empiricist]

Are circumstances dire enough to warrant the weaponziation of other universes? The universes I am considering are:
(-36,-36,-36)
(12,63,87)
(123,456,789)
(0,-1,0)

4.Note about Kedly's turn: We don't have another EUE preassembled.  If he wants to take one with him, he'll have to deconstruct one of the two which exist in this system.  Not that it matters since EUEs are bigger than the things they can transport, but still.

Modified post in response to this.

[syvarris]

(-36,-36,-36) was already been put on the list, but (12,63,87) might be of value.  Thank you for your input.

The other two universes you suggested were considered when I created the list, but both were discarded due to their relatively mundane effects.  The anomalous area has already resisted the effects of our strongest nuclear armaments; why would relatively minor irradiation or explosives have any more of an effect?
