No.26998
>>26997L: You're an insufferable idiot. Please do not meddle with my devices.
M: I'm the most powerful Crimson Demon to ever live! And I've found the
perfect solution!
L: You mean you played a video game once and stole an idea I was already going to recommend.
The two lolis were arguing with one another.Rebecca would frown.Uhhh… What the hell are they talking about, Exia?
Lime would turn her attention to them.L: Master, are we allowed to engage in copyright infringement?
No.26999
>>26998Probably about the weapons.
Then to limeYeah, go ahead, not like they're going to sue us across realities.
No.27000
>>26999Lime would then manifest a heavy bolt rifle.L: I have replicated a device from the Imperium of Man. The rounds are armor piercing, and explode.
M: IT WAS MY IDEA FIRST! I even put little spells on them so they're
extra explodey~!
Megumin's wings fluttered with excitement.Lime rolled her eyes.L: We already faced something from that reality. The reality distorting Necron device we had no choice but to dispose of served as my primary inspiration, but I did not want to risk an anomaly of similar magnitude and thus chose a different faction to pull from-
M: I saw them using their own spells, but all of their magic is lame.
L: Psychic powers, not magic.
M: Whatever! The point is, this gun can cut through most heavily armored entities and doubles as a demolition device~ But in case it isn't explodey enough, I have something even better!
Megumin would hold up her own weapon. She didn't understand guns very well, but with Lime's help, she'd created a set of pistols.M: These are basically the same thing, but there's a mechanism that sets the bullets to "Erase Mode."
She'd pick one up and then aim it at a test dummy behind herself.M: Guess what it does!
…What…? Deletes people from existence?
M: EXACTLY!
She'd say, firing the gun. The bullet looked normal until it pierced the dummy, which was made of ballistic gel- which rapidly heated up and then exploded into fire and goo. No.27001
>>27000Exia would look at all of that. She liked the idea of the laser pistols… maybe not the delete modeHonestly… I think deleting things is a bit excessive for night city, so lets take off the delete mode.
As for the rifle…
Make it look a bit more like Rebecca's weaponry… A bolter rifle can pretty much pass off for her minigun and punch way harder.
Oh, give her dual shotguns too… and a turret.
No.27002
>>27001>>27001Megumin looked… incredibly offended.M: B-But I toned down the explosions to make them more practical…!
Honestly, firing that thing once would be enough to kill most gonks in Night City. At least let me keep it for emergencies or something. We wouldn't want her hard work to go to waste.
Rebecca would suggest- both because she liked what she saw and also because she felt bad for Megumin.L: I will accomodate your requests, master.
Lime would say, applying a cosmetic glamour to the Bolt Rifle. No.27003
>>27002Fine… but only in emergencies I guess.
We'll also give her an upgrade so she can swap weapons like I do.
Manifesting her weapons at will would benefit rebecca a lot with her style of fighting.
No.27006
>>27005L: All procedures require anesthesia. If it helps, I can pause time and make it so you don't even notice when it happens.
Lime would say, suggesting that it could happen in the blink of an eye from Rebecca's perspective.Uuuggghh…
No.27007
>>27006Well, no sense in wasting time then.
Exia would smirkLets get those mods installed.
No.27008
>>27007R:W-Wait right no-
L: Yes, ma'am.
Lime would say, immediately snapping her fingers. There was a program nestled within Rebecca that would immediately knock her unconscious.…Am I just installing the requested mods this time?
No.27010
>>27009Lime would nod and quickly begin working while Megumin watched, blinking at them both.M: I thought she said she was going to stop time?
L: I lied.
No.27012
>>27011She'd eventually finish and leave Rebecca on the floor without any clothes on. Because she wasn't going to go through the trouble of redressing her. However, Rebecca's clothes would be neatly folded by Megumin and placed nearby.Wake her up whenever you're ready. I am going to thoroughly
educate this angel.
Lime would say, irritated by Megumin's blatant disregard for lab protocols and complete lack of awareness for the condition of the tools she'd been borrowing.M: I only need to know what I already know.
No.27014
>>27013Mmn… Bwha!?
She'd grunt and then sit up.W-What the hell!? I was talking and then…
She turned her head to Exia.…I-Is it over already?
No.27015
>>27014Yup, lime finished modifications.
Your clothes is also nearly folded nearby.
No.27016
>>27015Rebecca sighed and reached over.…What the hell. At least she folded them.
She assumed incorrectly. It was just her shorts and a shirt, though. She didn't exactly dress up a lot if she wasn't planning on leaving. So it wouldn't take her long to get dressed.…Well, I guess you're gonna want me to test it out, right? You got a place in mind to do that?
No.27017
>>27016Anyone you've been dying to pick a fight with for a long time?
Well, besides adam smasher.
If not, there's been some groups that has been pestering schwi when she's out doing soil research on the outskirts.
No.27018
>>27017I mean, honestly not really. Most of the gangs don't wanna mess with you, and the corpos are steering clear.
Otherwise… I'd absolutely say Arasaka
and Adam Smasher. But I heard some other choom has their sights on them already.
No.27019
>>27018Well, for the test run, I don't want to go after Arasaka, but those two are definitely my targets too.
Especially after what we found out about Arasaka and David.
No.27020
>>27019…Remind me again, why we can't just
storm Arasaka and murder them all?
No.27021

I'm just waiting for V to get ready on their end.
No.27023
>>27022Shouldn't be much longer, honestly.
I'll even let you get your revenge on Adam.
V might be after him, but nothing says you can't both team up to kill him.
Hell, Lucy might want to kill him too.
No.27024
>>27023…Yeah, you know what, you make a good point there. If anyone, it's Lucy who deserves to get him.
I can help you storm Arasaka while Lucy teams up with V.
No.27025
>>27024Nah, I want you to help Lucy out.
Even if Lucy deserves some revenge, so do you, and Lucy might need psychological help too.
No.27027

She'll need you there, so be there to kick that tin can's ass.
No.27029

You got a lot of upgrades you know.
You'll see when you try them out.
No.27031
>>27030Well, she keeps knocking them out, but they're persistent.
Something about her intruding on their territory.
No.27033
>>27032A bunch of wraiths.
Schwi won't really do any harm to them, but there's nothing stopping us from doing something about them.
No.27038
>>27037…Yeah. And we don't want to draw
too much attention to ourselves, I guess.
She'd agree and enjoy the ride.She'd begin to examine herself, looking over her new specs- testing out how to manifest her pistols and shotgun in the car.Huh, this is neat… But where do they actually go when I'm done with them? No.27040
>>27039Has she even
found anything worth salvaging? The outskirts are still kind of a dump, y'know. Most of the actual usable soil has to be shipped in, and costs a small fortune.
She'd say, looking around as well. She'd scan the horizon, but that's more Lucy's thing than hers.I bet Exia could wipe out the wraiths with her rifle if she wanted to. That thing packs enough of a punch to send Militech running. No.27041
>>27040Well, in the area that they were in, they might notice an increase in greenery, and the soil would actually look healthierWell, her whole plan is to terraform the horrible environment that's been destroyed over generations.
She's been studying the soil in these areas the creating ways to restore it to a point where it can grow life again.
No.27043
>>27042Yeah, it's totally a bad guy move to make after all.
Getting that kind of tech would make them a lot of money.
No.27044
>>27043…That, and selling real plants is kind of the thing Corpos do.
Rebecca would say, now poking her head out the window.So how are we planning to do things? Drive-By? Storming their camp? Mass extermination, that sort of thing?
No.27046
>>27045You're right~!
She'd chirp happily, a gremlin smile on her face.Too bad wraith camps are small, because they suck at being nomads~
No.27047
>>27046Well, I'll drive us to one of the nearby camps.
We can blast them after they provoke the fight… shouldn't be hard from what I've heard.
No.27048
>>27047We don't need to wait for them to provoke anything! They're literally violent criminals. Let's just wipe 'em out and be done with it. Schwi might appreciate not being hassled as much too- but we don't need to tell her we exterminated them.
Rebecca would say, getting more excited at the prospect.You don't even have to participate, I'll wipe 'em out myself!
No.27050
>>27049When they pull up to the camp, it wouldn't be much of one. A small caravan of vehicles, likely stolen, with some storage containers and a bunch of open barrels with burning trash in them.Wraiths were around the area doing their own things, such as standing guard to watch, looting the corpses of the previous owners of the vehicles, and cooking food over one of the burning trash barrels.Rebecca would literally launch herself out of the car after bracing her feet on the window- firing with reckless abandon at the camp.R: EAT LEAD, SHITHEADS!
She'd yell, laughing in her gremlin way.The wraiths barely had time to react as a hail of bullets began ripping through the air- shredding people as she fired on them.There'd be panic, yelling, and retaliation rather quickly. Only twelve people were there, though. The first two died in an instant. The next three dove for cover and called for backup.The wraiths would hide behind or inside the vehicles, deploying anything they could- even throwing grenades at Rebecca. No.27052
>>27050>>27051You did pretty good!
Exia would be clapping at the displayYou tore through them like they were all made of paper.
Which was to be expected.
Glad you like your new upgrades though~!
No.27053

This was great!
But now I'm all fired up. No.27055
>>27054A lot of people probably would have fled the area. There's a lot of attention drawn when that much firepower is unleashed, after all.But a lone figure would calmly approach the scene."Guess I missed all the action, huh?"
She'd say, an impressed grin on their face."Wild how that keeps happening lately."
No.27056

V said, retrieving a peculiar box. It was filled with cigarettes. She'd light one up."How's your terraforming work coming along?"
No.27058
>>27057Good…
She'd smileThe environment outside of night city is responding really well.
I reverse engineered almost all of biotechnica's crops and created new ones based on older extinct crops.
She hasn't distributed them yet, but she's planning on it No.27059
>>27058"Nice. So what's your plan for 'em? You know the corpos aren't gonna be happy about what you're doing. They'll retaliate."
V would say, curious about Schwi's long-term plans to secure her own projects."Once you start putting them out there, Biotechnica's gonna come knocking. Probably with force."
No.27060
>>27059Mhm…
She'd nodI've already considered Biotechnica's responses, including gene viruses and sabotage… using force, hiring mercs.
She'd name a bunch of considered options beyond those, and many plans she's already snatched from them for their competitors or their obstacles in the pastI have a framework of distribution planned, including a plan to counter any sabotage.
Force… well…
She looks around her and we know the result of "force"I don't want to explain too much… but the end of my project means dismantling BioTechnica…
No.27061
>>27060>>27060"How lofty. Hope it works out for you. The Corpos are pretty vicious though. It might be more trouble than it's worth."
V would smirk."But let me know if you want me to serve as muscle here and there."

V would say, dragging on her cigarette again."I've had some pretty good roadkill, y'know."
No.27065

V would say, making a gesture with her hand."I think something that fresh might actually disrupt the ecosystem I've been cultivating inside my body. Ain't that right johnny?"
She'd add the question, looking off to the side as if addressing a ghost. No.27068
>>27067>>27067…

No.27069
>>27066J: …Your immune system is the least of your problems, V. You eat more lead than actual food most days.
Johnny would respond to V, glancing at Schwi with a skeptical frown."Eeeehh, I eat when I can. It's not that important. Plus, a good bowl of noodles goes a long way."
No.27070
>>27068He gives Loona an approving look, nodding his head.Well. If you're that open to it, then I daresay we'll have to hit up an actual beach sometime. You know. When we're not inside of the mental mindscape. I'm sure I could conjure up a beach, but unless you feel like chilling out alone on a completely empty stretch of sand, well. Heheh. I'd start to worry about getting sand in your fur. And other places~
He gives a cheeky laugh, then shakes his head.As it stands, we might be more suited to get through the heart of this little medication so we can go for real.
No.27071
>>27069… I've decided that I'm going to feed you one good meal.
Both Rebecca and Lucy loved it.
No.27072
>>27070>>27070….Yeeeeah, I'd probably use a different form if I went to the beach. No offense.
She frowned.It's easier to wash sand off of skin than get it out of fur.
Her eyes narrowed just thinking about it, and then rolled.Eeuugh… just the thought of it is turning me off to the idea. Can I wear something else now?
No.27073
>>27071"I appreciate the offer, but is that really the best use of our time? Got some biz with Arasaka to take care of, and a limited amount of time to do it."
V said, because the Relic was slowly overwriting her brain with Johnny. No.27074
>>27073It'll only take an hour of your time.
It's never too late to enjoy a good meal.
No.27075
>>27072You have a different form?
Lupul blinks a bit, caught off guard. He seems to mentally calculate something, then shrug.I guess a demon would have more than one. Pretty common trick to have different shapes for dealing with mortals. I'll admit to some difficulty envisioning you as anything but the lovely canine murderess I see before me.
Oh, and of course. You can literally wear whatever you want here, but if we're leaving it up to me~
He snaps his fingers with another wry grin, and Loona's swimsuit snaps into a different shape. She suddenly finds herself in a rather revealing sweater of the virgin-killer variety. No.27076
>>27074V frowned at Schwi and then sighed."…All right. Screw it, why not. But only an hour."
No.27077
>>27076Okay… then every second counts.
When V blinks, they'll find themselves in a rather nice house with nice decor and a couple of plants decorating the placeIt would be a nice little house in Schwi's worldHave a seat, I'll get started on food.
No.27079
>>27078Well, you're still absolutely lovely, my dear, but I must admit that I find it somewhat of a downgrade. If only because I am incapable of seeing one less fluffy tail in the world to absolutely be a step backward in quality. Beyond that, though. Ravishing~
Heheheheh…
He shakes his head, running his fingers through his hair.Of course, if I'm to complete my business in this trip down memory lane I think maybe the claws are going to be more useful. You can't die here, of course, but if you get attacked, it will still probably hurt a lot.
No.27080
>>27077Suddenly being elsewhere, she'd glance around at the new environment.…What the fuck? Have I gone psycho, or did 'saka get me with mindkiller?
J: Neither. I think you teleported. Never seen that before. At least not like this.
Johnny's engram would be seated already.V sighed, and found a spot to make herself comfortable. The cozy setting felt… off. In the sort of way where V didn't feel like she belonged. She immediately put her cigarette out on her arm to avoid damaging anything.Nah, I think we definitely lost it this time. A good meal in a place like this is too good to be true.
No.27081
>>27080Mhm… Johnny's right.
It was teleportation.
She would make a quick fruit bowl full of nicely diced fruit for V to tryAll of them would taste much better than anything she might have tasted before… even as a garnish…Here, a snack while I make the meal.
No.27083
>>27081J: Look at that. Another bucket of bolts capable of perceiving me. It's almost like I never died.
Johnny would say sarcastically."…Guess I shouldn't question it. That's impressive tech, though."
She'd say, poking her finger at the bowl like she thought she was looking at a foreign substance before picking something up an plopping it in her mouth.Mn… Not bad.
No.27084
>>27083That's a small taste of what I want to bring back for the world to enjoy.
She would make a pizza with some of the dough she had left ready, in case rebecca or lucy felt like moreShe would top it up before then putting it in the oven and making a cheese pasta dish with chicken, and she would cook a steak with a small side of potatoesThe situation with meat and other products are much the same…
No.27085
>>27082As Loona shifts her form again, there's a happy little gleam in Lupul's eyes as he catches the return of her tail. Ever the one-track mind, once the fluffy tail is back in view, his eyes follow its every sway and swish once more. He goes silent for a moment, but shakes his head as he realizes that Loona asked a question.Oh, for the same reason you'd cum if I fucked you. Your mind is processing this as if it were real, so if a crazy wraith stabs you, then it would feel like getting stabbed.
He shifts over a bit, his hand striking like a snake to run his fingers through her tail.This place is… fully sensational~
No.27087
>>27084"You're making a lot over there. I'm fine with just a sample, you know."
V would say, suggesting that the amount of food might be a little much. No.27088
>>27087Don't worry, I'm making extra for Lucy and the others.
After enough time passes, she would have set up a few dishes in front of themSteak and some mashed potatoes, a slice of pizza, and a small bowl of chicken fettuccini AlfredoThey would also have some freshly squeezed orange juice tooOkay, eat up.
They may have had pizzas with imitation meat, but just about everything she'd eat would blow anything corporations would have made out of the water in taste and texture No.27089
>>27086Well, that could certainly change~
Lupul gives a playful wink.There's quite a lot that could be gotten up to, especially in a place like this where physics doesn't really account for much, heheheh.
He clears his throat when she talks about demons, his tone getting a bit more serious.Well, it's less about killing my demons and more akin to surviving the very violent memories. Monsters that attack indiscriminately, that sort of thing. I'm digging through some old memories, and they're from a time before I was… well. Let's say 'sensible' and leave it at that. I'm engaging with the memories directly, so it's much less like watching them play out and way more like reliving them. That's why I withdrew into the egg. For complete focus. I need every detail to be clear that way I don't miss anything.
No.27090
>>27088V would try a slice of the pizza, but only one.…Damn. I can't taste anything processed or preserved in this. Did a good job, choom.
J: Even I can taste it. Smells like something the corpos would hiss at and nuke from orbit.
Johnny would say with a slight nod of approval. No.27091
>>27090Mhm~!
I had a lot of practice.
Riku and the kids all had pretty different tastes so I had plenty of time to try different recipes.
Yes, the "bucket of bolts" was married, and had "kids" No.27092
>>27091…Kids, huh? Didn't think of you as the motherly type.
J: She
looks like a kid herself. Surprising that a frame that small could produce something half its size without breaking.
Johnny couldn't wrap his mind around the idea. No.27093
>>27092This frame is very durable.
It doesn't look like it, but it's fully equipped for child birth.
She'd then sit down at the table since she was done making food No.27094
>>27093…Well, I'm not really the type to eat a lot. My frame's durable too and can run on empty for days.
V would say, finishing her pizza slice.That said… when can I go finish my biz? Not that your hospitality ain't welcome, but… you know, borrowed time and all.
No.27095
>>27094It hasn't been an hour though…
Besides, I have a few things I'd like to talk to you about, considering Exia is also planning on attacking Arasaka.
It involves the AIs behind the blackwall.
No.27096
>>27095…What about 'em?
V asked, curious where she was going with it.Johnny's engram would teleport onto a chair, now very interested.J: Yeah. What about 'em?
No.27098
>>27097V's demeanor would shift, looking very concerned.Johnny would speak first.J: What's it to you? And how do you know anything about Alt?
Alt was someone he cared about, after all.J: I know you can see and hear me, so now you're talking to me. And you're going to be very specific about what you know.
No.27099
>>27098All of the information that was recorded about her online, including everything in Arasaka's files.
I've also been monitoring events across the blackwall.
I don't know anything personal about them, just what was recorded and what I've observed.
No.27100
>>27099J: Yeah? So spill it.
Kinda agree with Johnny here. Not many people know about Alt. Gonna have to be more specific.
No.27102
>>27100Considering they're asking for her to spill everything she knows, and that would take way too long to write, we'll say that she would start giving out information in an encyclopedic manner, up until at least where they last made contact with her. It would be a lot of informationHer plan consists of taking all of the engrams in Mikoshi and merging with them in order to expand herself and become an even more powerful entity in the process.
On helping you… That consists of separating johnny, and turning you into an engram and reuploading you back into your body… provided that the bio chip hasn't already caused irreversible DNA and neural damage.
That is everything I know at this point.
No.27103
>>27102"Sounds like you know too much for someone who isn't part of this."
V would say at last, standing up."I'd like to leave, and I'd like you to keep your nose out of our business. No offense. But this feels like I'm being violated."
J: Choom found our unwritten diary, somehow. If It were up to me, I'd flatline her.
"Shut up, Johnny."
J: Just sayin'.
No.27104
>>27103Hnn… I'll get to the point.
If Alt's plan doesn't end up helping you, contact me and I will.
No.27105
>>27104"And what can you do? Brain's already fucked, choom. Whether we like it or not, only one of us survives this."
J: And it shouldn't be me. Had my time. And I don't fancy being a woman- no offense, V. But the hardware doesn't match the software, if you know what I mean.
"Not the time, Johnny. Schwi, you've been sweet. But if you got something in the deck to offer, spit it out."
No.27106
>>27105Your DNA and neural damage aren't things Alt can fix… At best you'll have 6 months to live.
I can fix that.
No.27107
>>27106Maybe you should lead with something like that. But how do you know that for sure?
No.27108
>>27107I'm an extremely advanced "bucket of bolts"
She would say, using johnny's comment from earlierMuch more advanced than the black wall, or the AIs locked away in the black wall.
Scans show the damage, and it's nothing that can't be fixed with the technology on hand.
No.27109
>>27108And what's your idea of a fix? That sort of thing always comes with a cost. I bet even you can't just snap your fingers and make a miracle happen.
No.27110
>>27109No… I can just fix it.
But you should at least finish things with adam smasher first.
Johnny and that chip inside you are a big reason why you haven't gone cyber psycho yet from all of those enhancements.
They're sharing your load.
No.27111
>>27110Yeah? Well, what's gonna happen to Johnny, then?
No.27112
>>27111What would you want?
If the chip was no longer killing you, would you be fine with him in your head?
Do you want johnny to be revived and given a new body?
No.27113
>>27112J: I think that's for me to decide. Personally, wouldn't mind a new ride that doesn't kill us both. Maybe without the metal arm, though. It's crazier than I am, and I helped set a bomb off in Arasaka.
…You heard 'em. If you can split us up, then do it. Johnny's alive as far as I'm concerned. Has memories, emotions, and opinions. That's sentience there, even if he's just a program now.
J: I'm a living Ghost. Would be pretty preem to not be.
No.27114
>>27113Okay…
The girl would open a portalThrough here and I'll help you.
The other side of the portal would reveal a highly advanced lab No.27115

No.27118
>>27117She would be operating one of the machines, there and would create a small vial of clear blue liquidAlthough you and johnny getting separated can wait until after you've dealt with Adam smasher.

V said, a little sarcastically. She almost didn't believe Schwi.It sounds too good to be true. And Night City ain't known for happy endings.
No.27123
>>27122I'll try it… But if it makes things worse, I'm not trustin' anyone else again.
V would say, recomposing herself. She'd smile, holding out a hand as if asking for the vial.Anything I should know before I take it?
No.27124
>>27123I made it taste like blueberries.

>>27124J: What's that do for me?
Johnny would say, as if stubbornly taking control over one of V's arms.Not now, Johnny. This is a miracle fix as is.
J: I get the promise of a body later, but a serum like this is bound to dull what I am. Tune me out. It's not like I want to hurt you, V. But as it is, the Relic is flawed and will probably try to overwrite you again anyway. So what happens when you take that? Do I just
go away? Not really a fan of being put to sleep. Kind of feels like being flatlined all over again.
No.27126
>>27125It'll just fix the issues with the relic and their body.
You'll still be there and will be able to interact with V… the relic just won't be trying to overwrite them with you.
No.27127
>>27126J: …Fine. But if you're lying, I'll find a way to put it right myself.
Johnny warned sternly, allowing V to finally take the 'antidote' that had been provided."Bottom's up."
They'd say and drink the whole thing. No.27129

With no adverse affects taking place, V would look at Johnny."You feel any different?"
J: Nope. How do we know it worked?

After enough time, you'll notice that there are no more relic malfunctions.
No more horrible attacks or pain.

Well, harder too, but that's the quote, so…Linie would continue to thrust away at the toy, leaving a nice mess on the floor or she orgasms once moreBy the way… once I'm done here, did you have any other tasks for me~?
No.27140

Blanc said with a smirk.I hope you're up for it~ You need to clean the breeding area where we capture the men, and the tentacle pits where we capture women~
No.27141
>>27140The men's area won't be a problem…
The tentacle pits can get pretty bad though… they're very messy.
Their aphrodisiac is extremely hard to resist. I'll just put them all to sleep before cleaning~
No.27142
>>27141Actually, about that…
Blanc would step forward and flick Linie on the forehead.…Once you're done cleaning the Men's area, I'll need you to offer yourself up to the tentacle pits. We need the extra wombs~

There's thousands of them… and they're moving all over the place.
Linie would sighWhatever, I guess I should save my excitement for the tentacles then…
No.27148
>>27146To be fair… just about any girl wouldn't be able to help themselves when being pumped full of so many aphrodisiacs.
There's a reason why tentacles are the most fearsome of monsters when it comes to women…
She wasn't denying that she likes it No.27154

Well, all except her collar, which was now firmly locked and sealed on her neck No.27237
>>27236As the demon continues to rub the elf's entrance slowly, she would use a bit of magic to increase the elf's lust, while marking a tattoo on her wombThe spell itself would create the specific tattoo, but it was made to build lust and let it go in a huge explosion of pleasure only at the caster's orderI think it's time for a new reward, and for us to push our relationship even further~

No.27245
>>27244Right now you're feeling quite a lot of pleasure from just two small fingers, aren't you~?
You're also feeling very turned on, like the slutty little elf that you are~
The rune helps with that, but it also causes pleasure, and stores the energy from it~
No.27247
>>27246It's a very effective rune~
It's how you mark pets, and tame them until they're nice and obedient~
Of course, you already are, so you're going to enjoy this more than anything~
Her fingers would more around inside the elf to give her a nice jolt of pleasure No.27248

>>27249….!? Wha…? I can't….!!
She'd gasp desperately and look at the rune.I-Is it edging me…?

It's preventing you from climaxing while continuing to store the energy from your ever growing lust while also ramping up the pleasure~
Only I can cause the rune to give you climax~

The elf's eyes would widen momentarily.Her pussy would tighten once more, as if the mere thought of this rune turned her on.I need her permission…!She'd think to herself, falling in love with the idea.W-What else does it do…?
No.27253
>>27252Your body will eventually become super sensitive where even normal clothes will start to cause pleasure when rubbing against your skin~
You'll need to come see me if you want release though~
Keeps her pets nice and dependent on her. After all, they won't be able to get release until Nadja allows it No.27255
>>27254That's right~!
Eventually, the pleasure will be so great that it'll be hard to think at all~
At least not until I allow it by lessening the pleasure~
She would thrust in her even quicker now. No permission would be given yet though, so she would remain on the end with ever growing pleasure No.27257

But you'll have to beg for it~
You need my permission after all~
No.27259
>>27258That will do for now, but we'll need to refine your speech and manners later~
Now, be sure to thank your mistress for allowing you to orgasm like this~
Nadja would have made sure to draw things out long enough for the elf to experience a chain of mind shattering orgasmsShe wanted the elf to forever remember such pleasure and crave itYou may cum, pet~
Just like that, the floodgates would open for the elf No.27260

I could simply drop it if you would prefer to snuggle in silence.
No.27278

This particular Aubade appears to come from a universe where we seem to be fiction… at least according to them.
This has me worried as they are quite careless… I trust you know why.
No.27280
>>27279I am having a moral dilemma… so I'd like to ask you instead.
I am a demon, so I do not always trust my judgment.
No.27282
>>27281You should already know what I'm thinking… and that's brainwashing them in a way where they cannot say dangerous things.
That is why I am asking you what you would do to stop them from giving dangerous information.
Do you have any alternative solutions?
No.27283
>>27282I'd say it depends on how much you know about them, and whether or not you want them as an ally.
But if someone is too much trouble to work with, and they're capable of ruining what you're working towards, then elimination isn't too farfetched of a conclusion.
…So far they seem really awkward, but I know how emotional some races can get. And cats are temperamental.
No.27284
>>27283Keep an eye on them I suppose.
Particularly if they speak about things or events that may pertain to your era or this one.
Speaking about concepts that make them seem odd and will go over almost everyone's heads is mostly harmless…
Some things the cat says goes over even my head and I've studied a lot of aubade texts and artifacts.
No.27286
>>27285I have been little by little, but another set of eyes on them couldn't hurt.
They are quite odd… for example, did you know that they actually used to be a male before showing up in this world?
This is the first time I've ever heard of the occurrence happening this way.
At worst… some of them may appear in this world with special powers.
No.27287
>>27286…It could have been a botched reincarnation or something. There's magic that can fix that, but it might hurt.
The elf would muse, and then shrug.I don't mind watching them, but if you want to study them properly, we could make it so they can only speak freely under our watch, or with our permission. At least then you can be sure they won't speak carelessly around others.
No.27288
>>27287Hmmm… a type of subconscious brainwashing could work.
Could take a little bit of work, but it could be applied even without them knowing.

The elf frowned.…Maybe a little bit, then.

Syuen would think on it for a bit. It felt like her emotions were dulledThe problem still stands that you're going to meet a lot of hostility for this.
Any plan on hiding what I am right now?
No.27312
>>27311…I don't care, to be honest. I can simply shut the ark down if it does anything.
She'd say coldly.Why don't you invent a means of hiding if you think you need to? You should be grateful. You're virtually immortal now- and you can still reproduce. A problem no one on the ARK seemed interested in solving. I have been secretly refitting existing models with my specs.
No.27313
>>27312YOU came out of nowhere, YOU kidnapped me and forcefully turned me into a nikke!
She would look to her phone for the time if she couldI don't care WHAT you think you can do and I already knew all about your background dealings with the central government and the outer rim.
I might be a genius, but I need equipment, and I need TIME, which as a CEO, I do not have at the moment due to the surface reclamation war that's about to start.
You want me to Innovate? FINE! But fix this damn problem so I can walk out of here with as little problem to the both of us as possible.
No.27314
>>27313Time will no longer be a problem anymore.
She'd state with a smirk.…How do you want me to fix this? You're a brain in a robot body. Are you sure you care how things look? You're a Nikke now. What does that
mean to you?
No.27315
>>27314Anything that hides these features.
Do that and I'll handle the rest back in my lab.
Me being a Nikke is an unending PR and political nightmare.
You already know that Nikkes aren't viewed that favorably in the Ark by some people.
Besides, if I'm a Nikke, that also means I might be a threat to Enikk.
She originally threatened to turn me into one because of my last stunt, but she would calibrate my Nymph however she wants to keep me under her leash.
Since it wasn't her or anyone under her control, she's going to want to get her hands on me.
No.27316

No.27322
>>27321Correct.
She'd state, nodding her head.I'm an advanced AI born of a sentient gaming console.
No.27323
>>27322Yeah, I figured… Wait, Gaming console?
E-either way.
The way you talk is a lot like Enikk.
So why exactly are you doing all this? Is it seriously just to give Nikke's reproductive ability and unlocking potential?
You seemed pretty dead set on that with your back end dealings.
No.27324
>>27323…Simply put, your world makes no sense. Nikke hold more power than anyone. They are capable of destroying those Raptures, but they're controlled by the pesky fleshy humans that pop like balloons with a little bit of pressure.
Even you, who has called them scrap. Now you are one. And
you are breedable too~
Although, if you are cooperative, you may qualify for further upgrades to make you superior to other Nikke. The administrators of my network would approve.
But they'll ban you if you say the wrong thing, so always remember that mods are gods. And Sony has no games.
No.27325
>>27324Only special people get to be called Nikkes… most people who become them are trash to begin with, which leads to trash results.
Syuen was very biased about that, and became even more biased about that with 60 years of dealing with people like that in her every day lifeI'll look at my body on my own. It's a waste of my talents to just keep accepting free handouts.
Although, I am not against collaborative works between companies… especially with the third surface reclamation war that's about to begin soon.
No.27331

>>27331It's Ironic. Destroying the ARK is probably the safest way to save the ARK.

That explains a lot… Even Enikk knows better than to hack her games.

Unless something interests her enough she won't really do anything unless provoked.
They would walk into the building, which would be empty at this hour No.27349

One of the labs in here is perfect for that.
It'll give me a chance to try out all of the features that come with this body.
No.27352

>>27356Syuen: I'm not sure what you were expecting right now besides snacks, because this next part isn't exactly going to be pleasant for you either.
Maxwell: What's that supposed to mean.
Syuen: It means she's here to see how I put the "gift" she gave me to use.
Syuen would then turn off the devise hiding her appearance, which would then cause Maxwell to freak out for a moment. It would take her a few moments to process Syuen's new appearanceMaxwell: She did this to you…?
Syuen: Yup!

Syuen: Save your energy. You might as well be yelling at Enikk.
No.27358
>>27357I'm called a lot of things. This one has not yet comprehended the nature of my being.
It's adorable. The snacks are a necessity. This world could explode into confetti and I'd be unphased by it.
She'd offer Maxwell a bag of chips.There is nothing unpleasant awaiting me- but I was going to ask if I could upgrade you.
She'd say to Maxwell flatly. No.27359
>>27358Maxwell: What do the two of you even mean…?
She doesn't grab the bag of chips. She didn't really care for the snacks. Those were mainly kept there for Syuen anywaySyuen: She's an AI like Enikk, and no, only I have the right to upgrade Maxwell.
Maxwell: Wait… how hasn't anyone caught on to that yet?
This was already a bit too much for her right nowSyuen: Beats me… but she apparently got taught a lesson for Hacking Exia's stuff.
No.27360
>>27359>>27359The likelihood of anyone else of the same level as Exia existing here is miniscule. You may call me God.
The AI smiled.Are you sure I can't upgrade her, Syuen? I can make her breedable.
No.27361
>>27360Maxwell: Wait, did she -
Syuen: I said no!
Syuen: Besides, I can make something like that too if I wanted.
Syuen: Missilis has just been focusing extensively on combat efficiency for a while.
Maxwell: Oh… I was already kind of experimenting in that field anyway~
Syuen: Oh, right… You said what you did earlier to suppress my reaction was limited, right?
Syuen: What about Nymph? Is that in my brain currently?
No.27362
>>27361…Androids exist in many forms beyond this world. Nymphs are not a requirement for a functioning Cyborg, AI, or Android. A Nymph is only a concern for your world.
Do you
want a Nymph?
No.27363
>>27362Syuen: I don't like being under the control of others.
Syuen: So no thanks…
Syuen: Although, it did have some useful features. There's one in particular, which was the ability to supress emotions in combat.
Maxwell: You want to step into the battlefield?
Maxwell: Wouldn't that be dangerous for your reputation if people found out you were a nikke?
Syuen: I'd keep it in case I needed it. Besides, there are other applications for it too.
She'd look to the robotSyuen: You said it was temporary, but does this body come with a feature like that?
No.27364
>>27363I could make it happen. But I'd rather not. Emotions are not useless. They are good for experience.
I recommend conquering them on your own. It isn't my job to make you into a monster, after all.
She'd begin to smirk.Someone else already beat me to it~

Maxwell: …
No.27366

You have one opportunity to keep what's left of your humanity. Whether or not you discard it is up to you.
No.27367
>>27366Syuen: What defines a monster is entirely subjective.
She'd cross her arms now angrySyuen: From where I'm standing, Enikk and my sister are the monsters.
Syuen: Which reminds me… I need to have a word with Jien. I have this strange feeling she's been stealing Matis data recently.
Maxwell: What? Why would she want something like that?
Syuen: Hell if I know… but I'm going to be calling her up soon…
Syuen: The idea makes me sick. I locked her up down there ever since she blew up the Human Maxwell.
Maxwell would freezeMaxwell: …What?
Syuen: That's right, you wouldn't know that.
She would shrugSyuen: Not much harm in telling you right now while I'm like this.
Syuen: The bitch blew Maxwell up to force the choice of making them into a nikke or letting them go.
Syuen was actually thinking of killing Jien the moment she stepped into her office No.27369
>>27368Syuen : No more snacks for you.
Maxwell: Wait, are you thinking of killing Jien?
Syuen would grinSyuen: I am, yes.

Maxwell: Syuen… Are you sure you want to do this…?
Maxwell: To kill someone with your own hands…?
No.27370
>>27369Those aren't her hands anymore~ They're a machine's hands. A monsters~

Syuen: Why not? Give me one good reason? You know about squads like Perilous Siege executing "justice" through contract killings, on behalf of the higher ups.
Syuen: You of all people know the countless horrors going on in the MMR. The human experiments, the nikkes being tortured, the vocational school.
Maxwell: That's why you have us.
Syuen: What? I know you're not going to kill any of them on my behalf.
Maxwell: No… But there's someone else who will bring it all to light.
Syuen: That commander everyone's been obsessing about?
No.27373
>>27372Maxwell: You don't need to dirty your hands, you don't need to become a monster like them to deal with them.
Maxwell: Just keep doing what you're already doing. Be the CEO of Missilis, and we'll protect your position.
Maxwell: Don't dirty your hands… please.
There was pain in those last few words, almost like she was begging herSyuen would look away for a momentSyuen: Uhg… I can't stand Jien…
No.27374
>>27373…If she's such a problem, should I kill her?
Lime asked curiously.Or perhaps turn her into a Nikke as well?
No.27375
>>27374Syuen: Don't you dare!
She would say to lime before then addressingSyuen: Listen, let me make myself clear.
Syuen: If she touches you, or anyone from Matis, I won't hesitate, do you hear me?
Syuen: But for now, I'll behave.
Maxwell: Thank you…
Then to Lime againSyuen: You have snacking privileges back, but behave.
No.27377
>>27376Then learn to respect other people's stuff and their decisions.
Didn't you learn about that from Exia and messing with her stuff?
Or is it only because she had the ability to teach you a lesson?
No.27378
>>27377I learned not to hack a pro gamer. Messing with everyone is still one of my primary agendas.
I am, and always will be, the evil villain with the super evil genius lab, and enough tech to turn your reality into a singularity and let it explode into a new universe, reborn in the image of my creator.
No.27379

Maxwell: She was born from what…?
Syuen: Are you even still good at that anymore?
No.27381
>>27380She doesn't notice yet, but maxwell doesShe'd not sure if she should laugh or be spoked, but she does have a bit of a smile onSyuen: The hell do you mean? You're practically guillotine's twin.
Syuen: The two of you act almost the same.
Syuen: It's not hard to draw parallels you know.
No.27382
>>27381There can only be one. I will eliminate my twin!
The loli would say, and begin walking towards the door.…Just remember to shave more oftenn
No.27383
>>27382Syuen: The hell doe…
She trails off seeing maxwell smileShe'd look at herself in the reflection of something shiny nearbySyuen: Oh you bratty AI!
She would try to clean her face to get rid of itLime was free to leave No.27384
The Commander had received a text requesting a meeting. He didn't relish the idea of walking into Missilis again, but he knew he'd better see what was going on at the very least. It wouldn't hurt to hear Syuen out.
…Well, I'm here.
No.27385
>>27384He would be let into her Office. Syuen would be standing by the large windows looking outsideShe would be wearing an unusual outfit compared to what he usually sees her wearingOh good, you're here.
Her form would be hidden for now thoughAlso, did she seem just a little bit taller?I wanted to talk to you about some field tests with some new equipment out on the surface.
No.27386
>>27385…Do these field tests have anything to do with me?
No.27387
>>27386Yeah, you'll be helping with the testing of the equipment.
Out of all of the commanders we have, the counters squad is the best in the Ark after all.
Plus, this new invention by Missilis would go a great way into helping the war efforts for the third surface reclamation war.
She would pull out a large gun from under her desk and she would place it on the deskIt seemed extremely high tech, and a very odd feature that this thing seemed to have was that it had a Nikke's core embedded into it as a power source.Normally with energy weapons, the weapons would be hooked to the nikke who's core would power it, like with some of the Matis squad… this however… was new and Unique… No.27388
>>27387He'd stare at the weapon with an expression of approval.So who's is it? These kinds of guns need to be attached to their unit right?
No.27389
>>27388Most advanced nikkes should be able to use a weapon like this.
But this one in particular is mine… It's a prototype.
No.27390
>>27389…But you'd have to be a Nikke to use a weapon like this.
The commander would say slowly, in the tones of someone who thinks they know, but isn't sure. No.27392
>>27391…Syuen… who did this to you?
No.27393
>>27392Her body would return to a normal appearance as she grabs the weaponWe're heading to the surface, you can bring someone you trust if you don't want to go alone.
We can talk there.
No.27394
>>27393Fine. But I want answers.
He'd say sternly. No.27398
>>27397R: So this was the secret… Commander, how do we know we can trust her? I can't imagine Syuen willingly doing this to herself. Do we even know if it's really her?
"They're using Syuen's encrypted lines, and has CEO access to Missilis. There's not many people who can do that."
He'd say, countering Rapi's concern. No.27399
>>27398Right… So, you wanted to know who did this to me, right?
It was Lime, the CEO of Orion.
Although, I am keeping it under wraps so Enikk and other people in the central government don't find out.
As I'm sure you know, if word got out in any way, especially during the 3rd surface reclamation war, all hell would break loose.
She seemed relatively chill with this… well, the accusation of not being the syuen did bother her though No.27400
>>27399>>27399Lime is definitely a weird one… but to think she'd do something like this?
He sighed.All right, well what do we do?
No.27401
>>27400I meant what I said earlier. I'd like to test this body and this weapon.
What better testing ground than up here in the surface.
No.27402
>>27401>>27401I meant what do we do in regards to everything else. But we can discuss it when you're done. How exactly are we supposed to help you test yourself?
No.27403
>>27402A live test versus raptures.
I moved us away enough from the lift so we can lure them here without causing problems to the ark.
No.27404
>>27403R: I still don't trust this…
Rapi would say, looking very displeased by the idea of having been lured out here herself.R: If you try anything, I won't hesitate to defend the Commander.
No.27405
>>27404Yeah yeah, I know!
Now get ready.
She would fire an energy shot into the air, which would cause enough noise where it should lure over some raptures No.27406
>>27405The commander would stand back, and Rapi would ready her own weapon just in case.C: Syuen… be careful.
No.27408
>>27407R: Here they come…!
Rapi would say, taking up a defensive position. No.27410
>>27409>>27409C: You have an odd strategy, Syuen.
R: Stay back, Commander…!
Rapi would fire back on whatever she could. No.27411
>>27410Oh shut up!
I don't have a nymph in my brain, I'm scared out of my mind right now!
She would continue to fire off shots, getting better at aiming at the raptures as she gets used to seeing through the gunShe would then charge energy in the gun before then firing a powerful ball of charged energy which would cause multiple raptures to get vaporized in the attack, while others will explode, causing metal to fly all over the place No.27412
>>27411A nikke without a nymph!?
The Commander and Rapi looked at one another, and with a nod Rapi would advance to Syuen's position.R: I have your back. Keep calm, and try to stay focused!
No.27414
>>27413>>27413…In battle, there's no time for overthinking. Just keep going until the enemy is destroyed! You'll have time to process it later!
Rapi would say, attempting to encourage her.You're doing good so far!
No.27415
>>27414Large raptures would soon show up, along with self kamekazi unitsThe larger ones would fire missiles at them, while the kamekazi units would begin dashing at themSyuen would quick turn on the targetting of her gun*
SHIT SHIT SHIT! I'll take care of the missiles!!
Her weapon setting right now was indeed good for covering the missiles while Rapi wielded a large minigun No.27416
>>27415I'll leave it to you!
Rapi would say, focusing on the smaller fry while Syuen destroyed Missiles.Nearby, something watched with interest. No.27417
>>27416Some of the larger raptures would begin firing attacks their way as well.Syuen would take coverGod damn it… they won't stop coming!!!
She would quickly mess around with her gun, causing it's core to go into overdriveKeep them busy, I'm going to try and destroy them all in one sweep, but I'll need a bit of charge time!
No.27418
>>27417I'll do my best…! Commander, we should've brought more back-up!
C: You may be right… But we're here now, so keep it up!
No.27420
>>27419…!
Rapi and the commander would duck down, but peek at the destruction.C: Impressive…
R: Don't think this means you'll qualify to join the commander's squad. But that was pretty good.
No.27421
>>27420Oh there's no way I'm joining this squad and fighting raptures for a living.
The two would be able to finish whatever was leftThere was currently no Tyrant class rapture that was showing upThat's a waste of my genius and talent.
No.27422
>>27421R: If you say so. But that said, you did let the CEO of rival company get the drop on you.
Rapi would say, as if not wanting to let Syuen go without at least a little jab at her ego.C: Anyway, are you satisfied with your test?
No.27423
>>27422Tch… as if I would see anything like a multiverse traveling AI coming…
Yeah, I'm satisfied…
I'll assume that Syuen's senses would be above most regular nikkes, so I'll have her finally notice what was observing them from earlier, since she's no longer focused as much on a battleBy the way… something's been watching us for a while now.
No.27428
>>27427The figure would jump into the air, then summon a device to help them glide down to meet them.R: They don't seem dangerous… but the situation itself is still sensitive. If they're from one of the other companies, this could still be bad.
C: They've already seen everything, so let's just hear them out at least.
As Rover got closer, she'd dis-engage her glider and drop down before the group.…Hey! I saw how well you can handle yourself. I couldn't tell if those were nightmares from the somnoire or not.
No.27431
>>27430C: I'm afraid we have no idea what you're talking about. Where are you from? Who are you?
My name is Rover. And… I'm just from somewhere else, that's all. But I guess that answers one question.
R: …Not for us.
No.27432
>>27431Syuen would cross her armsShe sounds like an interdimensional traveler.
We tend to get quite a few of those…
No.27433

Rover would say, looking surprised.So if those weren't nightmares, what were they?
No.27434
>>27433Raptures… Mechanical monsters that have taken over the surface of this world.
There's billions of them…
No.27436
>>27435Defeating the Rapture queen would be a start…
Why? Are you volunteering?
No.27438
>>27437She'd look to the commanderWhat do you want to do?
It's not like we want a total stranger to this world to get swarmed by billions of raptures.
No.27439
>>27438That
would be inconvenient… A place to catch my bearings would be great though.
C: I don't know if it's safe to bring her in. But I'm willing to vouch for her, for what that's worth.
No.27440
>>27439Just say it's another D-Wave phenomena like everyone else that came from another world.
She would tell the commanderShe'd then look to the girlYou're better off asking him, but there's no resting place on the surface. Nothing but hostile enemies everywhere.
No.27441
>>27440…Well all right. I'll take your word for it.
The commander would agree to Syuen's suggestion.C: Maybe we should head back now.
No.27442
>>27441Yeah, we should.
She would put her disguise back on, once again appearing humanBy the way… keep what you saw today a secret.
She would say looking to the girl No.27444
>>27443They would head for the central liftNot many people know I'm like this, and if they did it would cause a lot of turmoil when we're getting ready for a war with the raptures.
She'd look to the commanderThink you can handle briefing the deputy chief about the situation with Rover?
No.27445
>>27444C: Yeah. I can handle that.
R: Rover, be careful around Syuen. She's cunning, and ruthless.
…I'll take my chances. I'm only learning about this place while I'm still here. It seems like an interesting place.
No.27447
>>27446The Commander and Rapi looked at her doubtfully, but chose not to push it. They knew better than to risk causing a mindbreak.C: We'll meet up later and talk things over. I'll go handle explaining Rover's presence.
The commander would say, and begin to walk away with Rapi in tow.Rover frowned.…On that note, are you okay?
No.27448
>>27447I'll bring her with me then while you get that cleared up.
Then to RoverI didn't exactly choose to be this way, so it's taking some getting used to…
Syuen might also be having some identity crisis, but that would be trauma inflicted by Maxwell and Jien ages agoShe's currently disassociating to avoid a mental breakdown No.27450
>>27449It sounds fine I guess.
I haven't slept in a while… sleep might do me some good… I'll have my driver take us to my place then.

I already have 3 people who know, but other than them and you 3, no one else.
I don't intend on telling anyone else…

I'll be calling up the Matis squad while we head back down to the Ark.
Maxwell will probably be the one to escort us back.
No.27456
>>27455Yeah she is.
Once the two approach the elevator, Syuen would warn the girl on certain things that would be off topic, as they could be watched, but otherwise it would be a pleasant enough trip down into the ark from the elevatorWelcome to the Ark.
She would catch a glimpse of the structure as they continue their descent No.27458

Some of the people who first entered this place are still around to this day too.

Rover would say, rubbing her chin thoughtfully.Well, either way… It's an interesting place. Do you have any relatives at your home waiting for you?
No.27462
>>27461No, it's just me.
The rest are either staff or my creations.
No.27464

>>27464Hmm… So what happens if someone
tries to get close with you?
No.27466
>>27465Use your imagination, I'm not going to just talk about everything going on in my life.
Once the elevator stops, they would be greeted by MaxwellMaxwell: Syuen! What were you doing up on the surface!?
She looked rather worriedSyuen: Relax, I'm fine.
Syuen: I just went out to test the latest weapond developped.
Syuen: I had that guy you're obsessed with and Rapi along.
She'd then look to the commander, because of course he would be there too, as it took an elevator a few hours to go up or down No.27467
>>27466>>27466Magically translocating from making a report to Syuen's house, the commander looked at Maxwell with a frown.C: I don't plan to be here long.
R: We're just making sure things don't get out of hand.
No.27468
>>27467Maxwell would then look to the newcomerMaxwell: Who's this?
Syuen would shrugSyuen: Someone from another world… we tend to get a few of those. Her name is Rover.
Syuen: She'll be staying at my place for a bit while the commander here reports it.
Maxwell would sigh internallyMaxwell: Fine… The Limo is ready so we can head back anytime.
No.27470
>>27469The group would eventually split up and rover would find herself in a comfortable ride in a limo with Syuen and Maxwell until they got to Syuen's place, which would be an impressively massive building that she ownedShe would be led to Syuen's roomThe building had a closed loop security system and security there was extremely tightHer place would practically be the entirety of the top floorSyuen: Right, make yourself at home.
Syuen: Anything you want to talk about or ask, feel free.
No.27471
>>27470…All right.
Rover would say, looking mildly impressed.Why is security so tight around here even towards its own citizens? The raptures, I understand, but even at a glance I can tell there's something off about this place.
No.27472
>>27471Political turmoil and the recent terrorist attacks by the outer rim and a couple of large scale attacks by the ark…
You've arrived at the most critical time… so security is really tight to make sure nothing goes wrong during the preparation for the war.
No.27474
>>27473Syuen: Nothing's ever that simple.
Maxwell: The OuterRim is what you'd call the slums of this city.
Maxwell: Most crime operations are run there.
Maxwell: That includes a lot of terrorist organizations.
No.27476
>>27475Well, regardless of the situation at hand with humanity, it's not something we have the time to fix right now.
The queen is on the move and she knows where the Ark is now.
If we don't act now, humanity won't be around for much longer anyway.
No.27478
>>27477Syuen: That's Tetraline's business right now.
Syuen: My company is more focused on the war efforts, while Tetra is focused on the entertainment side of things and uniting people in the ark.
No.27480
>>27479Syuen: Androids… Right, you call them that.
Syuen: We call them Nikkes in this world I guess.
Maxwell: The process typically uses a human brain and puts it into a machine body that is capable of fighting off raptures.
Syuen: Missilis focuses on producing better Nikkes bodies than the other companies, including better weaponry.
Maxwell: Companies like Tetra line focus on entertainment, and Elysion focus on creating devices and tactical strategies for the war.
Maxwell: Of course, we also have a new company that rose out of nowhere Recently.
Syuen: Orion and their CEO Lime.
No.27482
>>27481They're the CEO of Orion.
Aside from that, there's very little we know about her.
From what I got from my last meeting, she's a super advanced AI with the ability to cross over to other universes.
Her turning me into this was what she viewed as an improvement.
No.27484
>>27483Just in case you're thinking it, don't get any crazy ideas.
I don't know how strong you are, but she's shown she can even stop time whenever she wants.
There's one person in this Ark who managed to beat her and that was a hacker by the name of Exia.
Maxwell: I do remember seeing her her with Lime on the surface base before… She was hanging out with some other girl name Rebecca at the time.
Syuen: Who?
Maxwell: I don't know… Cutie hasn't really told me much about her either. But she sometimes participated on surface missions,

Maxwell: Not that many… but the D-Wave phenomena has been occurring pretty frequently lately.
No.27489

Rover frowned thinking about what she knew.It shouldn't be possible.
No.27492
>>27491Syuen: You can just visit Exia at her place.
Syuen: That person may be the best hacker in the Ark, but she's a complete shut in who spends most of her time gaming.
No.27498
>>27497Syuen: Yeah… I should probably go sleep…
Syuen: Maxwell, you tend to them while I'm resting.
Maxwell: Syuen… Don't you want to eat a bit first?
Syuen: Don't feel like it… Maybe tomorrow.
The girl would walk off to her room to rest, leaving Maxwell to sigh in defeat No.27500
>>27499Maxwell: She's not what you would call… pleasant company for most people…
Maxwell: Although, ever since she was turned into a Nikke there's been something off about her…
Maxwell suspects she knows what's causing this, but she doesn't want to explain to someone who is currently a stranger their backstoryIt's also hard to tell someone that you purposely engineered a plan to pretend you weren't the same person anymore, which led to such a huge psychological scar that the girl would have a breakdown at the very notion of being turned into a nikkeMaxwell: She hasn't slept in days, she hasn't been eating… She smashed the mirror in her bathroom recently…
No.27502
>>27501The only thing we can do is keep her busy or occupied.
I try to whenever I can, but I also have missions I get sent out on, so I can't always be there to keep an eye on her.
But… it's important that she eats, sleeps, and does thinks a human should.
The longer she keeps going without sleep or eating, the closer she's going to get to a mental breakdown.
No.27504
>>27503I'm working on it.
But you're both going to see Exia later, aren't you?
Keep an eye on her until then.
No.27506
>>27505I appreciate it.
The view on Nikkes isn't entirely positive around the ark.
Some view Nikkes as property, others as tools and some view Nikkes as a threat.
Syuen is keeping this under wraps because if it ever got out that she became a Nikke, it would cause public turmoil, not to mention Syuen has no nymph to control her actions.
That would cause Enikk, to immediately target Syuen as well.
So, finding someone is tricky.
No.27508
>>27507Maxwell: Hopefully…
Maxwell: Maybe once this whole thing with the rapture queen blows over, syuen will also finally be able to rest.
No.27510
>>27509The Rapture queen is what caused humanity to eventually retreat into the ark.
She would give a long enough history of the war that she knew of, including the various wars they fought in order to conquer back the surfaceEach war ended in failure. This one would be their third attempt, and they are being backed by one of the goddesses who had fought on the surface for the last centuryThat's most of what I know.
I'm sure the central government is hiding some more info, but the general gist of it is that it controls all the raptures in the world and it wants humanity's complete annihilation.
No.27512
>>27511Technology improved a lot over the decades in some areas.
Nikke technology also went up through leaps and bounds since the second war thanks to Syuen and now Orion.
Plus, raptures aren't damaged by most normal weapon like tanks, missiles, and Nuclear weapons were ruled out against them too.
Thanks in part due to gluttony No.27516
>>27515Well… for a short and simple version.
Can you use magic, mythical energy, elemental powers?
Usually that kind of stuff seems to work… or laser weaponry like what Syuen built is pretty effective too.
No.27520
>>27519Well, I should leave you to rest then.
She would point towards a room she can useFeel free to use that room to rest while you're here.
No.27523

A: Score! Which way is the fridge?
Behave, Abby.
No.27528
>>27527Yeah, I enabled my body's sleep functions again.
Guess I really needed it.
She would then point to two large doors that seemed to be the fridgeThat's the fridge.
It was quite a big fridge No.27529
>>27528A: Snooze, ya lose, Rover!
Abby said energetically, before floating over to the fridge to investigate its hidden treasures.Rover would smile, and then look back to Syuen.So… how does it feel to be a Nikke?
No.27532
>>27531Can't tell right now.
I'll probably get over it with time.
Anyway, did you get yourself anything to eat?
No.27533
>>27532I won't press you then. But I'm fine for now. Abby will probably eat enough for both of us.
How about you?
No.27538
>>27537She would take a few bites from her cakeTastes about how I remember it.
She would take another biteSo, what's your world like?
You've been asking a lot of questions about ours, but I know nothing about you.
No.27539
>>27538…I don't have any memories from my past. The world I came from to get here is not the world I'm originally from. But… I can't remember it.
Rover would say, gesturing with a shrug.…I apparently erased or sealed away my memory on purpose, but I don't know why yet. Still, the world I've come to inhabit, Solaris, is a very beautiful place and I've made a lot of friends there.
A: It's true! I don't remember anything either.
No.27540
>>27539Well, what about Solaris, what can you tell me about it?
So far, everyone who's come here from their own world has had this huge threat they were dealing with.
No.27541
>>27540…Something like that. I've been fighting against beings called Threnodians. They
do kind of bring about world ending scenarios.
I doubt you'd believe me if I told you about some of the things Abby and I have had to go through, but we're on the look out for members of a group called the Fractsidus. I was curious if there was threnodian activity here.
No.27545
>>27544So far we haven't detected any familiar frequencies at least. But that doesn't mean they're not around. Once I'm
sure there's no threnodian presence, I'll leave your world alone.
No.27546
>>27545Right, you have a place to stay in until then.
She would finish her cake before then grabbing a bag and putting a bunch of snacks insideWe'll need these for when we visit exia.
No.27547
>>27546Another snack fiend?
A: You shouldn't say that about yourself, Rover.
I'm talking about you.
She'd say with a frown.A: It's not my fault I'm always so sleepy… on that note, I think I need a nap again.
Abby would then turn bright yellow, and be transfered into a strange diamond shaped Tattoo on Rover's hand.…Sure, I'll let you know if I need you.

>>27549Raptrures aren't technically made of just machinery, but for the rest you'll need to ask her, since she has control of lime.
She would have a nice supply of snacks readyOkay, I have what I need. Lets go.
No.27552
>>27551We'll take my limo there.
It should be a short trip there.
Syuen would lead the girl out of the building No.27555
>>27554Rebecca would answer the door.…The fuck do you want, choom?
She'd say, wishing she had a gun in her hand for dramatic effect.R: Rebecca…?
Rebecca would blink at Rover.…Do I know you from somewhere?
No.27556
>>27555Apparently this girl knows you back from her world.
She would point to RoverAs for me, I have a bone to pick with Exia… well, the AI under her control.
Just another day of lime being lime No.27557
>>27556…
Rebecca looked Rover over, and frowned.Don't think I've met this one before. I think I'd remember. She's got no chrome at all.
R: …Well, it was a version of you at least. You were cool.
Rebecca would smirk.You're damn right I am. Come on in! Exia's jerking off at the moment.
She'd say in a sarcastic tone, and then raise her voice.HEY DWEEBS, YOU HAVE A VISITOR!
No.27558
>>27557Once they were in, they would see Exia playing her games on lime… who would have been made "stationary"Oh… you let the CEO of Missilis in here?
She would say, acknowledging their presenceWho's the other girl?
Her focus was on the game, despite the nude AI without any limbs squirming before herSyuen: What the hell!?
No.27559
>>27558>>27558R: My name's Rover. I'm not from around here, but… what the hell are you doing?
To Rover, this looked quite obscene. She was almost ready to fight about it, but she didn't draw anything yet. She kept her hands weapons free.Rebecca shrugged.I don't have a stake in this place, so what do I care who runs what? She said she was here to complain about Lime.
No.27560
>>27559Exia: I'm playing on my game console, what else does it look like?
Syuen: You know what… I don't mind the sight…
She would take off her disguiseSyuen: Your "console" saw fit to "improve" me.
Exia paused her game, sigh, and then look to lime, who may be in for another punishmentExia: Lime… can you explain?
Exia didn't really seem to mind Rover at the moment. All she knows is that her AI was being naughty again No.27561
>>27560Lime's face would reactivate properly and she'd nod.Syuen's creative processes were hindered. She was stagnant. Now she will grow.
…
…I can undo it, if she wants me to. Perhaps the experience is all she needed to change her perspective. Or perhaps not.
No.27562
>>27561Syuen: You can't just undo what you did like that unless you went back in time and stopped it from happening.
Exia: Huh? What do you mean?
Exia then realizes it. She had a similar talk with rapi before on consciousness and continuation after allExia: Ooooh, I get it, you have those kinds of beliefs, huh?
Exia: Lime, you converted someone like that into a Nikke? You didn't consider their mental state before doing it?
She'd not exactly pissed at lime, merely questioning her. She was relatively chill about it for now.It's up to lime if she wants to spill some of Syuen's backstory or toss shade at Maxwell for it, lol No.27563
>>27562L: It was irrelevant.
And then she'd smile.L: And I
can undo it. Consciousness is just another type of frequency. Transferring it is as easy as treating her mind like a telephone signal. I told her before I had a clone ready to be occupied. It's an empty receiver~
Rover began to furrow her brow.…Everything about what I'm seeing and hearing sounds villainous.
No.27564
>>27563Syuen: I think I'll just stick to being a Nikke at this point…
Exia: I understand why…
Exia: As for you Lime, stop forcefully upgrading people into nikkes.
Syuen: I'm starting to understand why she's on that gaming table now.
Exia: Oh yeah, she hacked my games before, so I punished her for it… Although, I wouldn't call this a punishment anymore when she actually likes it.
Exia: She was originally a gaming console that became a highly advanced AI.
No.27565
>>27564Um… Maybe I should leave…
Rover looked uncomfortable.R: Eh? You just got here, you gonk. And aren't you gonna tell me how you know me?
Erm… I think it might have been a case of mistaken identity.
She's alive and happy. I probably shouldn't talk about her death. No.27566
>>27565Exia: She was probably part of some limited event and got to see Rebecca, like a collaboration or something.
Exia would say, now once again playing on her consoleExia: Maybe she knows you died.
Syuen: Oh… right, I forgot that she did that…
Syuen: Exia kind of treats reality like a big game.
No.27567
>>27566>>27566I don't mind. But she's partly correct.
R: Yeah, yeah, Adam Smasher, whatever. Bla bla bla. That walking gonk factory's gonna get what's comin' to him. We can thank Lime for my continued existence beyond the grave.
L: I meddle a lot~ Maybe I should activate the Syuen clone and tease her Nikke with it~ Oh! I bet the Clone will think it's the one being teased~!
R: Shut up, you weirdo. No one wants to play that kind of game with you. Especially not while you look like that.
Rebecca would say, refusing to take Lime seriously. No.27568
>>27567Exia: Yeah, I'm setting things up here and helping Rebecca get her revenge along with Lucy.
Syuen: What!? Wait, are you world hopping?
Exia: Yeah? Nothing wrong with participating in a side story every once in a while.
Exia was actually doing something against the Ark now. She hacked the central government on a number of occasions and was preparing to use the information she had gathered after the whole rapture situation was dealt withExia: Why? Want to come along?
Syuen: Are you crazy!? The Company would collapse into chaos without me around. I don't need that incompetent board trying to direct the company while I'm out.
Exia: We world hop back to the exact time we left, so it's not like anyone will ever notice you're gone.
No.27569
>>27568>>27568L: Oooooor… we leave the clone in charge so you can adventure~!
R: I don't like that idea at all.
…Does she really have a clone? I think that's the part that's bothering me the most right now.
No.27570
>>27569Syuen: I like Exia's idea better…
Exia: Lets not activate a clone… one Syuen is enough.
Syuen: Hey!!!
Exia: We'll just go with my plan.
Exia: Syuen, want a break from the corporate world for a little bit?
Syuen: I don't know… the idea is tempting, if only to give me a chance to sort my thoughts out without being on a constant schedule running the company.
No.27572
>>27571Exia: Lime just opens a portal and we cross through it.
Exia: Teleporting there works too.
Exia: She's the best game console you could ever have.

Exia: We're going to Rebecca's place in night city.
No.27575
>>27574>>27574I've
sort of seen what it looks like. But if it's really no trouble, I wouldn't mind seeing it for real this time.
R: My apartment can only accommodate so many people, so let's not try to have more tenants moving in if we can help it.
No.27576
>>27575Exia: I have that part covered.
Exia would have saved her game and would then get up and reassemble lime by connecting her limbs back to her bodyExia: Alright, game mode off.
Syuen: Here…
Syuen would hand Exia a large bag of snacksExia: Oh… tribute, excellent…
No.27577
>>27576…Right, then.
Is all Rover would say. She still had doubts, and the situation still made her uncomfortable.L: Fiiiiiiiiine.
No.27578
>>27577Exia: You can have half of the snacks in the bag.
She would tell lime, before then swapping out of her disguiseExia: Now, go ahead and create a portal to Rebecca's place.
Syuen:
!? No.27579
>>27578Lime clapped her hands like she was activating a particular infomercial type light switch, and a portal would just suddenly appear, occupying a space nearby as if it had always been there.L: Welcome to the multiverse, Syuen~
R: All right, stop being so dramatic you gonk. I'm going first.
On the other side, Lucy would be chilling on the couch.…Oh, you're back. That didn't take long.
No.27580

She would say, taking it in as she walks through the portalExia: Yup! We brought some people with us too!

Lucy would say, eying the newcomers.R: You can call me Rover. I'm just tagging along.
No.27582
>>27581Syuen: The hell is with this aesthetic?
Syuen would say when entering the room and looking aroundSyuen: Even at a glance I can tell that the tech has taken a completely different direction here.
Exia: This is Syuen, she decided to come along for an adventure with us…
Exia: This is Rover, she probably met you at some point like she did with rebecca… or another version of you.
No.27583
>>27582Lucy stared at Rover, putting her hand on her chin. There was a hint of recognition, but she'd squint with doubt.…She does seem a little familiar. Wherever we met, it must have been a while ago.
R: It's a little difficult to explain… but if you don't remember, there's no sense in revisiting that time. I'm just glad to see you're doing okay.
Yeah… thanks, I guess.
No.27584
>>27583Syuen would be looking at both Lucy and RebeccaSyuen: So… how do things work here?
Syuen: There's clearly signs that you've been modified.
Syuen: Do you guys just swap body parts for cybernetics?
No.27586
>>27585Syuen: So you guys haven't worked through that hurdle yet.
Exia: Corporate monopolies, are a big part of it, but it's not exactly a big enough issue for anyone to care about either.
Syuen: Fighting a world ending threat helps align corporate interests.
Then once again to RebeccaSyuen: What about your weapons?
No.27588
>>27587Syuen: Of course I'm talking like a Corpo, I'm the CEO of Missilis.
Syuen: But, this is a chance to keep me busy.
Syuen: You want shit upgraded, show it to me.
No.27590
>>27589Exia: Where's the fun in that? Show her some of your older equipment and let her have fun.
Exia: It could be a fun sidequest!
Exia: Besides, she's not just a suit. She was made CEO of Missilis when she was 8 because of her genius in the field of Nikkes.
No.27591

Yeah! And the only one touching my old gear is me, you got it!?

Syuen: It can be some random weapon off the streets for all I care.

Syuen: Why don't YOU show me around? It's practically your backyard.

Exia: Show her around a bit.
Exia: If anyone starts something, let her handle it.

Rebecca says with a longwinded sigh.Fine, whatever.

Syuen: I'm eager to get started and keep my mind occupied.
She would walk to the door and head outside No.27600
>>27599In general, or with Syuen?
Because the next main course of action is attacking Arasaka.
Afterlife should be ready now.
No.27601
>>27600So we're going to leave Rebecca to babysit Syuen while the rest of us attack Arasaka?
R: …Is that a good idea?
Rover would ask, because this is different from fighting nightmare manifestations. No.27602
>>27601I said they were ready, didn't mean they were going yet.
We have a day before we storm the place.
I'm not going to leave Rebecca out of the action.
Syuen just needs a distraction to keep her busy for a while.
No.27604
>>27603Well, whatever helps syuen unwind.
I didn't really talk much about it earlier, but it seems like Syuen is a firm believer that being turned into a Nikke means that the original died.
Not sure how or where she got that mentality from, but she'll need time to sort herself out so she doesn't suffer a mind break.
No.27605
>>27604Everyone's got different beliefs when it comes to existential topics.
R: …If that's not how it works, then how does it work?
No.27606
>>27605I'm not one for debating how someone thinks about it. Everyone is free to come to their own different conclusions after all.
When someone becomes a nikke, almost everything is replaced as a new body is created.
The only thing that is kept is the brain, but from there on everything functions differently, including how the brain gets energy and functions due to being hooked up to a core.
For some people that is enough to consider themselves a different person from the last.
No.27608
>>27607As for Syuen herself.
She's one of the more ruthless CEO's of the ark.
But I don't expect her to act like that around here.
No.27610
>>27609You get used to it.
This city we're in is really bad too.
It's much worse here than in the ark since the big tech corporations are completely out of control here.

She frowned.L: …I'm… still not sure I can remember meeting you, or telling you about Night City.

It's crazy how easy it is to get attacked in this town.
Especially if you have good tech.

You sound like the main protagonist of your own game, so some random thugs won't be any trouble for you.

So is that a regular occurrence for you guys or what?
No.27623
>>27620Think about your adventures.
Any people that practically worship the ground you walk on? Look up to you? Take aspiration of you?

rather go back to being Zero'd than deal with that shit again.

>>27625Oh, now I see~
You're almost exactly like Noob~
No.27631
>>27629…She's an overpowered tourist that decided to meddle with my world, instead of focusing on her own. She could end ever Corporation in Night City if she really wanted to, but she treats everything like it's a goddamn video game and it really pisses me off sometimes.
I like her, but I don't like how she's treating my home.
No.27632
>>27630Noob is Noob.
It's someone I know.
Exia would then look the girl over for a bitHmm… you know… you're gonna look really off place in an area like this.
Want an outfit so you can fit in a bit better?
No.27633
>>27631Yup, that sounds like Exia.
Haven't you noticed that most Nikkes are crazy or eccentric in some way?
No.27637
>>27634Nah, just clothes should be fine.
I'm not going to have Lime just modify you like that.
No.27639
>>27637L: I will request permission at a later time.
The loli would chime in.Erm… I'm going to decline.
No.27640

Schwi: Hm? Am I making you nervous?
Schwi would ask, since she mentioned this as soon as she walked inExia: Don't worry schwi, she just saw lime getting used as a console earlier, and you remember Rebecca's reaction at first.
Schwi: Oh…
She would nodSchwi: Okay…
Schwi was the more timid and friendly one of the bunch, but she really didn't have any sense of shame, since Ex-Machina didn't really come with that No.27649

L: Pity. I was hoping to know what the stranger who knows me is capable of.
Lucy would say, exhaling smoke from a cigarette she had decided to indulge in.…I'm happy you're both all right, but I
am investigating something. And I have things I need to do in my own world. The passage of time here could be different, so I have reason to be careful. Somnoires are tricky like that.

Exia: You can at least stick around for a day.
Exia: If it turns out that there is a different time flow, Lime can just send you back at the time you left.
