SO.
STARTED MY EIGHTH SESSION.
AND WHAT HAPPENS?
MY BODY DISAPPEARS.
I HAVE BEEN SENT BY MY FUTURE SELF TO THE PAST, FROM THE ECTOBIOLOGY LAB.
MY STATUS IS CURRENTLY "A FUCKING BALL"
ALL I AM RIGHT NOW IS MY CORE, A ONE-HALF-METER DIAMETER ARMORED SPHERE, WHICH CONTAINS:
MY NUCLEAR FUSION REACTOR.
MY COOLING UNITS.
MY CPU, AKA MY BRAIN.
A WIRELESS TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER.
I AM COMPLETELY BLIND, DEAF, AND UNABLE TO MOVE UNDER MY OWN POWER, AS I HAVE NO LIMBS.
AND I HAVE LANDED ON ALTERNIA.
I AM CURRENTLY BEING ROLLED BY A 3.5 SWEEP-OLD HEMONYMOUS GIRL, TOWARDS HER HIVE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO HER THROUGH HER COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND SHE SAYS HER FRIENDS CAN GET A BODY FOR ME.
I AM SKEPTICAL, OF COURSE.
BUT I DON'T REALLY HAVE A CHOICE DO I?

...Wait a minute. You mean to tell me that:
You, the 31 foot tall war-bot with the gun that fires at speeds measured in percentages of the speed of light, operate from, is cooled by, is powered by, and accesses the fora/internet from something that a ~11 year old can roll? WITHOUT damage to either you, her, or the environment?
...Daaaaaannnnng. They REALLY stepped up their game with the miniaturization of stuff over the next however-long, huh?
I don't... Really know all that much about surviving Alternia, sadly. I recalled reading that the sun is swelteringly hot(Enough that trolls can burn to death in it. Quite easily). So avoid that. Unless, you know, you have uber-coolant in that sphere-hub of yours.
Does this intriguing benefactor have a name?
Also, I forsee a few possibilities for you in the future:
1. Shenanigans occurred. You are still a player in this round of Sburb, as is the girl, but don't have that uber-cannon to shoot everyone with. Yet.
2. You are the player in the above situation, and the girl is your Guardian.
3. Reverse of 2. You are the Guardian, she is the player.
4. An alternative. You get to see just how the original players screwed up so bad to warrant the game bringing in other people.
Tell me, cO, are you capable of self-maintenance? Shouldn't that mean that you can, basically, repair yourself from scratch, if need be? At the very least, you'd have until Sburb/Sgrub/Whatever the heck it's called to buff up your robo-body and create some decent armaments.
My idea? Hidden blades. A lot of them. If you can pat someone on the shoulder and turn it instantly into a heart-rending stab without so much as a flick of the wrist? You're an Assassin.
Oh, also, tell us if you get a typing quirk. I hear those things are a pain to deal with...
[N0 Rang00n, just me screw1ng ar0und]
...At f1rst, anyway.
...1f y0u'11 excuse me, 1 am g01ng t0 g0 stab s0me 1mps. 1f 1 have the t1me t0 start th1s when 1 d0n't need t0? 1 C1EAR1Y have been hang1ng ar0und this Crysta1anth f0r t00 10ng.

Heh, yeah, I still remember when a fusion reactor was the size of a small house.
Her name is Cilosu Mijund
She goes by the handle of hollowPoint.
She also has quite the vocabulary, from how she swears.
She is most likely a player, as while I was in the lab, future-me let me use his optics to record the appearance of all the ecto-wigglers, and her description of the shape of her horns matches one of the five wigglers at the lab.
This also means I know her blood color, bright red.
I don't think that's a normal color for trolls, though.
While I do have repair drones in my Sylladex, they cannot build a new body, only repair one, and they are meant for delicate repairs, not fusing heavy armor plates together.
Not my preferred method of combat, so no.
Ah, she says we are approaching her home.
Wait, my altimeter says we're going underground?
...
10 meters below the surface.
...
15 meters below the surface.
....
23 meters below the surface, and we have stopped.
She says "Welcome to the Rebel base!"
..
...
.....
.........
...........WHAT.
WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN INTO NOW?
Wait, someone else is talking into her cellphone.
[BEGIN RECORDING]
"While Cilosu might trust you, I sure as hell don't. Who are you?"
'I am CO-7/64, handle cannonOverload, former Commander of the Elite Long-Range Combat Division, and a Military-grade Artificial Intelligence.'
'Pleased to meet you!'
"...Bullshit. Who are you, really?"
'Please see previous statement.'
"...Let's assume that what you say is true."
"Why are you talking to her?"
'Because I cannot see, hear, or move, at the moment, so I called for assistance, and she happened to be the closest signal.'
"Uh huh."
"Why shouldn't we trace the signal and hunt you down and kill you so the base's location isn't compromised?"
'You don't need to hunt me down, because I am already here.'
"WHAT!"
'Oh calm down, I'm just the AI Core/Reactor she's carrying.'
"The what?"
'The half-meter diameter sphere young Mijund is holding.'
"...Fine."
"You can come in, AI, but we'll be watching you..."
'I'd be disappointed if you weren't.'
'May I request a wireless speaker, so I can talk without the phone?'
"I'll ask the techies if they have a spare."
'Thank you, I'd appreciate that.'
[END RECORDING]
Well, I'm in.
Now she wants to show me to her friends.
Wonder what kind of music they like?
'Cause I have ALL the music.
I'm like an MP3 player I have so much music.

kinda sad that one of the most badass players on the fora is getting carted around by a troll equivilent of a 7 year old... if you're futureself is doing doing the ectobiology then you must be the leader of this session aka, the first one in so these guys need to get you a body asap... though if hp is a player, then you may have some issues... in fact, don't replays usually make it so that you meet you session mates only once your in the medium? i'm still trudging through my first session so i'm a little unsure about stuff, but i go over the faq frequently... still, i'm a little conserned about hp being that young, you might be stuck in a first session...
well i wish you luck co, you'll be back to one-shoting enemies in no time...
((MOD NOTE: CHANGE TEXT COLOUR TO SOMETHING LESS EYE-SEARING))

That wasn't what I meant. I meant that, if you knew how to repair yourself, then you knew how to make yourself. Once you got a body from Cilosu's friend, you could, hypothetically speaking, either reconstruct your old body, or modify your current one into something stronger.
Hmm...
Look on the bright side! While it keeps you from using the Ubercannon(My nickname for your railgun-thing that fires at percentages of the speed of light), at the very least, you don't have to worry about not being able to get into your friend's Dwelling Spires!
OOH. Also, since you have all that energy that NORMALLY goes into powering your Ubercannon, you can now use it for other things! Like hand-lasers!
Anyway, either your friend is a Burgundy troll and you need to adjust the brightness levels of your optics in the future, or she's a mutant. Both good reasons for being Hemononymous, from what I understand.

Once you got a body from Cilosu's friend, you could, hypothetically speaking, either reconstruct your old body, or modify your current one into something stronger.I HAD my body's full blueprints, but I think Future me deleted them, plus I'm going to need to gain the trust of the Rebels before I even get a weapon. OOH. Also, since you have all that energy that NORMALLY goes into powering your Ubercannon, you can now use it for other things! Like hand-lasers! I still have my Sniper Cannon in my Sylladex(Encryption Modus), and it's blueprints, and the knowledge of how it works. I'm planning on giving the blueprints and knowledge of the Sniper Cannon to the Rebels for them to research, to earn their trust. As well as the blueprints for my Fusion reactor, to power whatever they make. Hand-lasers? nah. Plasma Blades are better, and they would give me a melee combat option. Imagine a lightsaber. Now scale it up. more! Good. Crank up the power output. And Attach it to your forearm. Then there's this thing:  SIX SUPERHEATED ROTATING CHAINSAWS.
AKA, GRIND BLADE.*virtual drooling* I WANT THIS SO BADLY, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. This monstrosity is designed to kill other mechs instantly. I have the blueprints for this beauty, but not access to the needed resources. WHY MUST YOU TAUNT ME SO! EDIT: I honestly have to agree with stanzicApparati on this. I haven't had any particularly difficult sessions yet, so I am certainly not qualified to be called 'badass' yet. I am still only 15 years old. Powerful, yes. But the older players could probably kick my ass into next week, figuratively and literally(if a [Time] player). stanzicApparati is far more experienced than I am with this cluster-fuck of a game, and is thus my superior in the "Chain of Command", as it were. |

On the scale of badass, he's outranked by the Founders, Mislul, threadTreader, extdre - hell, Ben might be terrible at times, but even he outranks canove considerably.
You don't get to class yourself as badass until you're a veteran. That or have at least one story of a session where people would go "holy shit, how did you survive that". Not being a self-pitying twit also helps. |

I wish you luck on your ALTERNIAVENTURES while I start my own.
Maybe we can trade information on our outsiders' (sorta) experiences on the more Empirey of the common troll homeworlds that spawn througout paradox space.

WD, for the love of GFrog, eat ye strange bug. there is a chance to do a minor Dream Quest where you have to prove that you have balls to some weirdass Rook, and they will give you a bug equivalent from your Land, even if the Land is not even there (Glitches, lol)
@co: mang, you are pretty chill, no need to beat yourself up with the fact you don't have experience yet. you have promise, and support people here greatly, as far as I can tell.
