- Nsuoba
- Otad Base
- Go to rotting docks
- The ship is gone. We sold Velu Shineleaf the ship
- The lights are still on. They still have power, shouldnt. Its been months
- Almado plays the jingle, the lights go off
- Seemingly for what might be the last time, they dont turn back on
- There’s a glow in the bay where the ship once was
- 50ft down, the warf doesnt have a sheer force so we Can dive if we want
- 26 and asper go swim
- Biolumiscent green coral growing underneath
- Nothing else seems to be thinking
- Able to find that the coral typically grows from a copaxi's corpse as they return to nature
- Holographic memory on the strongest memory
- Secret that it holds
- It wrapped itself around a corpse, a druid, in order to preserve it in time
- Almado goes down and nearly drowns
- Xep gets the body
- Ayla sees her father for the first time in years, holds him for a few minutes in silence
- Aylas wants to bury him, she lets us holographic memory
- We do his last free memory, 4 mins before, 1 min after
- Partway thru a convo he’s having with K'zamko, the man who did the assassination
- He’s talking “are you srue its a good thing for all of us”
- “Oh you wont believe the amt of money in these things. Rn assuming its not a scam, we’ll have whatever we want. We’ll live like kings. U and ur daughter can leave my gang alone. Go wherever u want, be whatever u want.”
- Talk abt the serenade, related to it
- “Well, were the rumors true abt the serenade did he have it?”
- “Yeah, but we destroyed that one. We did tho manage to pull out a missing piece that was left behind.”
- Man is confused, then see the barrels begin opening. They open, the piece is taken from zomko’s hand, finishes the creature. Whirling mass of credits, a bunch of states of elation and emotion and arguing. 40ft tall. They take the piece, come to a consensus for a second, and without effort the creature corrupts all of them. Just by looking. It them gets zomko and the dad to put them into barrels and program stuff into the spaceport.
- The Celebrant is amongst them
- Alongside the obedience/free from slavery one Exhausted Fragment
- They talk abt an aspect they left behind on kiliv-vi, an aspect they didnt want
- Ayla buries her dad
- Otad Base
- Kiliv-VI
- To Zaera Allhaven
- Her area is still around
- Kalervo Turred runs around like he’s home
- Robots unload our ship for us, one speaks in her voice
- “Will you be staying for a few days?”
- Yeah
- “If you would be so kind, could you stay on your ship? We just had guests and the rooms are not ready.”
- What guests?
- “Fellow researchers.”
- (26: there is a symbol we’ve noticed, 3 helixes forming a triangle. Perhaps related to the trifecta program.)
- We go in, he makes his way towards a small research area she set up
- She waves “great to see you all again. How’s he been?”
- 26: living life to the fullest
- “Any heroics since he’s been gone?”
- As: define?
- “Putting himself in danger over others.”
26: he did help us rescue our friend. Among other things. - 26: why do u ask?
- Turred “it was very scary”
- “Its good to figure out how he’s growing.”
- 26: yes.
- He broke his phone
- “Thats fine, he’ll stay here. Maybe he can go again on the next iteration”
- Huh wdym
- “That was the deal, that you’d take him around the galaxy and then he’d return.”
- As: he informed us about the kindergarten?
- “Oh he remembers?”
- As: yes akin to sperm
- “I wouldnt call it that. You know those nasty bugs you took care of? They merge together slowly but surely. They share a common ancestor to barathu.”
- Z: we wanted to ask if u knew abt the research. Have u heard of the trifecta program?
- “Ive heard abt it. Why?”
- Z: we’ve been working on learning more abt it. If you wouldnt mind sharing what u know abt it
- “I mean… if you dont know anything but its name then it shouldnt be anything of your concern.”
- Z: we’re aware of the perfect body, the perfect mind, and we have theories abt the last one
- “That is?”
- Z: we’ve wondered if its more than likely the perfect soul
- “You know more than what u said. U know more than the name. Did u know theyre broken into more categories as well? The body is broken down into 3, i handle genetics.”
- Z: genetics, flesh?
- “Genetics, the perfect form/the ability to take the perfect form, and health.”
- X: like immortality?
- “No that is covered by the soul. Resistant to ailments and the like.”
- As: are they all broken down similarly?
- “Of course, theyre all broken down into 3. Im content to work on genetics and report upward.”
- Z: upward?
- “Everyone has a boss.”
- Al: dont i know it.
- Z: i take it that turred and the bugs are involved.
- “Of course. They provide the funding. The project for turred is mine, but they get all the research results. It aligns quite nicely.”
- Z: what do you plan to do once u reach ur goals?
- “Once i complete my goals, ill move on. Do you think science ends there?”
- Z: of course not, but you work for someone.
- “For now.”
- As: goals that go beyond the trifecta program?
- She sways “Yes and no? We work well together for now. And afterwards ill find something new to interest me and do that.”
- Z: i did have a question abt turreds phone. He’s been able to talk whenever wherever without distance limitations
- “Proprietary tech.”
- “The creature that does it dies when its broken, we put cyanide into it bloodstream.”
- “It scans for a random genetic code, the chances that anyone matches but turred is unlikely.”
- Z: have u had as much success with other experiments?
- “This is the first that survived past a week.”
- Z: have they all had his abilities?
- “Not perfected. Quirks, no, this is the first with a personality, and tho its lacking its nice that there’s a success with a personality.”
- R: i wouldnt say its lacking. He’s very active and intense.
- “Lacking for my standards.”
- Al: you mean he’s a moron
- “No he’s actually quite smart for someone born 3 months ago.”
- R: he can make logical jumps that i couldnt until i was 12
- Z: if u dont mind me asking, what’s going to happen?
- “Depends on what i can do with him? I want to keep the body intact, but he does need to be studied.”
- As: what does that involve in this scenario
- “Seeing any changes from his survival, quick memory tests, nothing too serious. He’ll likely survive all of them.”
- Al: can we have him when you’re done?
- “Probably not, no.”
- As: why?
- “Well. there’s many experiments to run with so little time. I need to make srue that the next one is better, and i have my doubts abt you being here after those years are done. I want to do more experiments rather than what you can provide.”
- (turred is unconscious)
- “Its to make his true nature out of his grasp. We dont want to soil his samples. We want him as close as possible.”
- “If you woke him right now, he would ask to stay.”
- As: new findings of the other bugs?
- “Oh, plenty. They assault the dome.”
- As: will we be able to talk to turred? After your tests?
- “If he survived.”
- As: how did his name come to be?
- “That was always his name. He’s taken after my late husband.”
- “The first test will be roughly quick. 2 months.”
- Sexico-6
- Go back to the egg
- Known as an AI containment unit. At one point locked up manually from the outside
- Open far before the time we go here
- Miku Through Ages Scar
- Can see that the other credicites have locked ours in “here i abandon my love.”
- Seems that as we had to land, almado is getting followed
- 1 is notably larger than the others
- It speaks “so we finally meet, god.”
- Al: so you’ve come to meet death
- “I have. And deaths angel. Hello death’s angel.”
- Al: why ahev you come to this most sacred place?
- “For the same reason you came to our most sacred place. You killed our prophets and stole one of our kindred off planet.”
- Al: that was no simple kindred, that was your destined king
- “He was taken by the foul witch.”
- Al: and you have failed your god. Retrieve your king and forgiveness can be achieved.
- “Our spies saw god colluding with the witch!”
- Al: a challenge. Can you conquer the witch?
- “I can, with the divine spark.”
- Miku puts a spotlight on the bug
- (in proto-religions, the divine spark allows one to ascend so you can fight god and take their divine spark. Likely created thru seared cultural psychic memory of almado standing over the priests and casting fiery light to rain down upon them.)
- “We’ve met many a skygod since then, but none have thought to kill our priests.”
- Voz Ricander delivers us our guns, almado and xep trains them how to use guns
- “We free leader now. God help.”
- “As divine one, you take me to sky afterward”
- Al: come with me and see the stars themselves or stay here and guide your…. Brothers.
- Dusk comes
- We hear the crackle of gunfire from the bugs assaulting the dome from a safe space as gunfire rains down
- Feel turred being experimented on in the basement downbelow, a sublevel.
- See a console
- We break down the door instead
- See the Hivemind Brain Bug
- She looks “why?”
- Al: why should you let us take turred?
- “No, why are you jepordizing my research. 200 years lost over smth idiotic?”
- Yes
- She holds up her gun
- Combat!
- “Did you ever wonder what i did with the failed bodies?”
- Bloodbrother falls from the ceiling
- Allhaven
- Shes an inventor, she can explode. A few unstable ones. Such as exploding the pods
- scanned ability: mechanical animation (allows u to target any corpse and allow them to burst into tendrils that pull u in)
- Bloodbrother
- Can hold a creature in its ribcage and drain vitality on it
- Weak to fire
- THE BLOODBROTHER CAN TALK
- SHE KNOWS ABT THE MIKU BOMB???
- Miku miku kills allhaven
- M: are u ok mr bug? Or mrs bug?
- “I will be when you free me. Knowledge to pass down. Be allowed natural death.”
- M: miku thinks ur children are outside
- Al: they wage war in your name and mine
- As: what knowledge will be passed down?
- “My generation.”
- 26: will they inherit your hatred?
- “What hatred?”’
- 26: perhaps we merely assumed.
- M: will u return to your family when we free you?
- “Yes, my time is past. Long passed.”
- “They will come eventually even if you dont free”
- Z: do they always do this?
- “It is our way. Pour knowledge into one, gets bigs. As soon as released from prison, will die. Not sad.”
- X: speak to your children before we release you? And you die?
- “Best to not see.”
- As: and what of this one?
- “Not part of us, but an evolution. Like the butterflies once were.
- Z: how long have your people lived here?
- “Unknown, before sky people started appearing. Do know lady wanted our secrets. Glowing people. Stole all. Sold to other skypeople who came. They leave.”
- Z: have u seen the others?
- “Did not see. I felt them. I feel her thoughts she mind melded with me. 2 way. They left way for her to contact them.”
- Al: how?
- “Way i do not know.”
- Al: names?
- “Do not know. Do you think name out loud when conversing with someone?”
- “It is last place. Last way to serenade.”
- Z: what is?
- “What they stole.”
- 26: that is rather significant.
- As: discuss locations of where they might go?
- “Back to sky. A place known as auver.”
- We go to her console
- All her research is here
- How to contact them
- Easiest is her phone, probably has esoteric shit on it
- Main way is thru remembrance doors. If 2 are on the same remembrance stream u can go to the otherside.
- Hers is the perfect dna, its meant to be integrated into perfect form and perfect health
- She’s due for shipments of perfect form subjects to experiment on
- Likely wont happen
- We download info, run
- To Zaera Allhaven
- Get back onto the ship with turred
- Bug is on the ship now, Subject 62
- 26 trying to convince it to join them in cultivation
- “U dont happen to be part of her program do you?”
- 26: no!
- “mind body and soul is what i heard in there”
- 26: unrelated!
- “I am fine.”
- “Oh! Why am i here?”
- Al: there comes a time when we have to kill our managers
- He passes out
- Turred wants to go somewhere nice
- Voz suggests: we stay in Remembrance Streams for 1 day max attached to the next ship over and then he’ll exit the stream, so DONT BE ON THE OTHER SHIP AFTER A DAY
- Infiltration parties: ayla turred
- In case there’s a credicite we keep korr on ship
- Vespucciano is to Protect Luka
- “Dont worry i wont let the dame come to any harm”
- Bug is on the ship now, Subject 62
- Remembrance stream
- “Allhaven please scan.”
- Turred “its probably ok i sign for her!”
- We’re on a Magnus Ship, smaller colony ship, made for making remembrance streams
- Had to split 3 stories into 3 maps
- Aetherion Corporation ship
- North is checking aetherion ids
- Miku team can go to loading console area
- Ppl working “what are you doin here?”
- M: im hatsune miku the starlight idol!
- Al: morale tour
- “You should talk to the captain
- Al: anyone want pictures? Discount for crewmates
- “How much?
- Al: 100 credits
- “Run it by the captain if u will.”
- M: wheres the captain?
- “Up front of course. Near the bridge”
- In our head: “im going to take one of their uniforms!”
- Cultivators + xep
- Main data console
- College boys + ayla
- Found a laboratory used for remote control of things to handle something potentially deadly
- Lab is empty rn
- Z: it’s empty but it controls something
- Ayla “why don’t we just follow a wire
- They find a golden glowing version of the ai containment egg we saw on kiliv
- Cultivators
- Xep catching words from the air

- They are known as the Virtual Eternity
- Miku
- Man looks “names?”
- M: hatsune miku the starlight idol!
- Al: almado alquinst. Her manager
- “Oh. i believe that you’re expected.”
- College
- Tempted to touch the egg but decide against it since it would probably knock zmena out
- Cultivators
- Recreate a person into a new body
- Soul slippage: occasionally a soul will slip out of this universe into another, preventing them from being ressurected. This would allow u to create a perfect subject and pull them back to this universe. Refers to the Admin who needs a perfect body
- Miku
- Almado gets a text as they see the captain (whos body appears covered up)
- ALMADO STARTS SHOOTING MIKU DOWN?
- Al: im sorry.
- The captain looks up, gives a thumbs up. Initiative between almado and miku?????
- Miku opens the door, captain takes off his mask. “Im sorry. You will die here.” SAYS PERSANARE
- M tells turred to pass along the PANIC
- Turred sends it along to cultivators “should i help?”
- Cultivators
- Xep looks at almados messages, theres smth he cant see but shows it to the others
- Miku refuses to shoot almado, she gets shot to death, persanare walks over and slices her chest to deactivate the bomb
- “Lets clean them up.”
- Almado leaves the bracelet that he made miku
- Almado: nothing personal.
- “Unfortunately he will be added to the board. He has no need for the collar.”
- Al: does that mean i can remove the mask?
- “Of course.”
- His face is Fucked Up
- “Go ahead. Give the order.”
- Al: men. Get rid of the scarred bitch.
- Turred is amongst them, hear him “please step aside.” he activates the NUCLEAR DETONATION OF MIKU’S HEART
- Turred is dead due to nuclear explosion
- Persanare pulls almado into an alt dimension to avoid it
- The ai containment chamber starts to break free, hands try to reach out from it
- This will look like a shooting star in Senaria.
- Ayla grabs, running with zmena “CHANGE INTO SOMETHING SMALLER!”
- Run with 1 or 2 soldiers running after us, we let them
- We arrive at the ship
- Somewhere else, the freedom program activates and miku v2 activates with a ysoki patching her up
- Obiado: You ok?
- (miku has her memories. The Freedom Protocol ensures it. SHE NO LONGER HAS RESTRICTIVE PROGRAMMING GOING FORWARD.)
- Somewhere over senaria, a shooting star will fall.
- Level up!
