Recent Events Summary:

Hecate agreed to take Auriel to see Donovan within his dream, though things between them aren't particularly peachy. While they were gone, you had a strange conversation with Adavan, in which he implied that Hecate's goals might not align with your own. You also learned that Hecate can hear any nearby telepathic speech, reguardless of if it was directed only at particular persons or not.

Auriel informed you that while Charmeine is stuck in her position as a moderate influence within the Ring City, the more enigmatic Raphael wants to speak with you the following morning. In the meantime, you're going to see Fang and cook up some airship-related trouble for Kan-Abar's forces.

Duke Vellik was also meeting with Fang; he apparently wanted to retrieve a few undisclosed items from a secret cashe outside Evinbrook. You broke into and pocketed the Bolt, one of Kelvere's airships, which created quite a distraction. After leaving an illusory army behind to fool the demon lord, you're gliding back to rondevouz with the duke on the other side of the river.

The duke revealed that he'd saved three empty dynamo shells. By working with Steward, you were able to charge up three dynamos with the Shadow element using the Shadow mana pool at Haven, along with a chunk of your own life force. In exchange for charging them, you kept one of them for yourself.

You spoke with Raphael that morning. While he still stands with the Ring City, he made it clear that if push came to shove, he would not support Sandalphon's plan.

You decided hunt for patrolling airships. After spending the day scouting the border between Arland and Kelvere, ran across the Incision, a Water-powered long-range gunship. You made quick work of the the engineering crew and Pocketed the airship.

You're returning to the Nemesis to feed your aquisition to your growing carrier ship, with plans to strike at the enemy airforce once more before they have a chance to fortify their naval defenses.

>Last time...

You can't get caught in this. It looks hungry.

You look down, and in a Blink, you're on the ground, safe and sound.

You can't help but look back up. You're shocked by what you see. There's a face in a sky - a skull, a screaming ghoul, formed in the outline of the winds. The shrieks build to a crescendo of howling anguish. Ghostly faces rip apart the helpless crew like scraps of paper. Nothing makes it out. Nothing.

You're glad you decided not to stay. You doubt you would've gotten much of anything out of that mess...

Considering the maelstrom you've baited, it would probably be a good idea to keep flight to a minimum for a little while. But then, you'll just have to keep at it as needed. Duty calls.

The sun is on the edge of the horizon, now, a half-exposed gold disc. It's about 7pm in the evening. You're just west of the Evinbrook Basin, in the Kanian Hills.

You decide that you need to allow the Nemesis to snack on the Incision - and then go hunting once more, before the enemy has a chance to adjust to your strategy. The fewer airships on their side, the better.

You create a portal back to Arland. From the roof of the castle town, you can easily see the Flooded Gardens, where the Nemesis has been landing. You're in luck - the slight indentation of mud and grass tells you that the ship has touched down for the day. The cloak remains on, however - you all want to hide how much the Nemesis has grown, of late.

You fly down to the Nemesis. You're familiar with the structure, so it's not too hard for you to find the invisible entrance. That, and Haven's mages, while spread through the gardens on guard duty, are slightly more concentrated around the hidden ramp. You make your way through the halls and glass-covered courtyards to the bridge.

File: 1397165871466.jpg-(323 KB, 1920x1200, Tyrael (2).jpg)

323 KB JPG

Tyrael is standing at the control console, looking over the ship's health display and idly tweaking nobs. There seems to be a screen which gives varying views of the ship's own internal structure. That would be very useful if it was ever boarded.

"Tyrael."

He flinches slightly, then turns to face you. "Light. Shadow. Hi there." He frowns. "That's funny. I guess the ship's systems can't detect you."

"Where's Auriel?"

"Auriel? She's training with Ila and Abigail down below. They've been going at it all day. They even had food brought into them. The captain's obsessed with something at the moment. Did you say anything to her?"

"...I helped her see Donovan on a Dream Walk. That might have something to do with it."

"...you really are a strong mage," Tyrael says. "Well, I guess that probably motivated her. How are things going?"

"I caught another airship," you say. "The Incision."

Tyrael's eyes glow with the sort of evil anticipation you might expect from a child about to kick down a sandcastle. "The Incision, huh? You, uh...have any plans for it?"

"I think you know. And I want to pick up another one before they start figuring out what I'm doing."

"Say no more." Tyrael picks up device wired to the control console. "This is Lieutenant Tyrael. All hands to the Nemesis. I repeat, all hands return to the Nemesis. Takeoff is in five minutes." He punches a few buttons on the console. You feel Wind hum under the ship. "I'll get us over to a ravine a little upriver. That should be quiet enough." He points at a map of Venia on the console. "By the way, the Jump Drive is working. Steward told us it would probably take about 5 days to charge back up after using it."

"Good to know. Should we get the ladies?"

"Eh," Tyrael says. "If I interrupt the Captain, she'll just yell at me."

About a half-hour later, the Nemesis lands in a wide gully along the Kanian Feed. You fly out behind the ship and unPocket the Incision so that it sits between the docking arms extending from the back of the carrier. The Nemesis's docking systems automatically hook the ship in. You fly back and land on the edge of the gully just as the cannabilization begins.

The Incision is split apart. Black beams drive into the seams and cracks between the armored plates, and they separate, floating into the air. The various armored pieces morph as they rotate about the Nemesis, slowly Inking into a solid jet black.

The heavy armor slams into place on the front edges of the ship. The carrier is simply too large for the Incisions parts to reinforce every single part of the ship, but the bow-end is now heavily protected from frontal fire. The glass-walled bridge and arms control center are now equipped with heavy metal shutters to protect them from direct physical damage. The innards, rooms, storage space, and halls connect with the back of the Nemsis, adding significant extensions to several of the decks.

The long-range cannon of the Incision drifts to the top of the ship. Purple energy crackles as it settles into a niche that seems to have grown for the sole purpose of accomodating its shape. It is now by far the largest and heaviest gun the Nemesis controls. The Water dynamo fits into place below that main cannon, which makes sense, being the main power source for the weapon itself.

The Nemeis should be able to produce its own fresh water with that core, too - a small but important tactical advantage.

The Nemesis seems less like a carrier, and more like a floating city. In time, it just might become that. You wonder - with and Earth dynamo, could they effectively produce some of their own food?

---------

>con't

When you return to the bridge, the ladies are all waiting for you. Auriel is lecturing a sheepish-looking Tyrael. "Show a little judgement, why don't you. For something like this, it's alright to put the brakes on training. This kind of thing is important."

Ila smiles when she sees you. "Shadow. You've been busy lately."

"Just a little."

"Ah, Mr. I-can-do-everything-by-myself in the flesh," Auriel says. "Don't think you're going airship hunting again alone."

"It might be easier if I went alone," you tell her. "I can pocket the whole thing myself."

Auriel waves you off. "Flying that much in the open is dangerous. You'll be a lot less effective in battle if you can't even take wing because the skyserver is targeting you."

"I want to help, too, Shadow," Abigail says. "You shouldn't have to do all the work alone."

"...I just don't want anyone to get hurt."

"Nonsense," Auriel says. "Besides, there's something I want to try."

"What's that?" you ask.

"That armor on our front side is pretty significant," Auriel says. "We'll have to see about using it."

"For what?"

"Stick around and find out," she says. She pushes Tyrael's shoulder. "Get out of my chair."

Tyrael hops out of the console as if stung. Auriel seats herself. The chair automatically adjusts for her height, raising her up an extra few inches to the main control consoles.

What do you do?

I wonder if Abigail's new armor is still a secret from Auriel.

wth is with that theme music selection
great taste but still WHAT

Also, even if it MAY have just been fluff text, I think we should try meditating at a shadow mana pool again when we try recharging our shards. Maybe even take our dynamo out and hold it as we meditate as well.

And this:
>>31390568
>You wonder - with and Earth dynamo, could they effectively produce some of their own food?

Well if you wanna make a hint that big why not take this chance to ask Auriel which Kanian ships have an Earth Dynamo? Git to it Nyx!

>>31390590
>let Auriel take the lead

If we wanna go Airship hunting, let's do it.

I love how if we ever give grand tours of the Nemesis to anyone knowledgeable about the worlds' airships they'll be able to pick out which ships we took by looking at which kinds of dynamos we have and which ships went missing.

but they still won't know what happened ehe he heh heeh AHA HAHAHAHAA

>>31390590
>>insist that you go alone
It is dark out there. We can work fast and smooth alone. We don't need fancy ship fights.

>>31390702
John Nyx. He devours whole air ships and somehow feeds them to his own.

I just had an evil idea.

Who wants to assimilate a Gundam?

>>31390725

With a full-on frontal assault by the Nemesis, we should actually have a pretty easy time infiltrating other ships.

I'm hoping we score at least another two airships by the time of the battle. At some point, though, it will be more tactically efficient to keep these other Airships rather than continue to add them to the Nemesis.

>>31390702

The Nemesis is totally going to be the Centre-piece of the Peace-keeping military which will be implemented thusly removing the requirement of anything more than a police militia for each nation...

>>31390590
>>let Auriel take the lead for now
"Just don't get too carried away. I know it's exciting, but there's no way it'll be good if anyone hostile gets a good look at our recent upgrades between now and the big operation."

>>31390781
Whichever one has an earth dynamo
we eat that one
maaaaaaybe give the other one to the alliance

Actually aren't some of Velliks former ships out on patrol for the Kanians around Kelvere somewhere?
Maybe we should objectify which airships would be best to take.

>>31390590
Ask Auriel if she knows which enemy ship has the best DETECTION systems! If we take that one then we get them instead, and they can't be used against the Nemesis.

I wonder if it would be possible to create some sort of humanization chamber to create soldiers?

>>31390791
I'll second this statement. We are still mostly a trump card secret to be pulled at the best opportunity. Even the Kan-Abar spies should only know that it's an invisible weaponless carrier.

>>31390426
Curse you SM. I wanted to go and sleep tonight. Guess that plan just went out the window.

>>31390590
I was going to say let's hold off on cannibalising the airship until we can figure out how to integrate individual parts. My main worry was that with all these miscellaneous parts and armor being added, the engines and their power system might not be able to keep up, and the ship would become too massy, but I guess it's done now.

Is that still something to worry about?

>>31390872
Shouldn't end up being an issue with the airships' dynamos being integrated as well.

>>31390872

Eh, if anything, I'd see that the individual dynamos would become less interdependent and more networked - i.e. the Wind dynamo focuses more and more on actually powering the flight of the ship, while the Shadow dynamo becomes more relegated to basic functions and the stealth module, etc.

>>31390872

we can always just install more Dynamos..... we give the airship carcases to Velik and feed their Dynamos to Nemesis... He has two shadow dynamos to replace whatever cores we appropriate...

>>31390838
Now we're thinking like an ELEMENTAL.

Also, something I noticed about our construct, automaton, and Machina Vita abilities.
They have no limits on how many we can make except materials and how many we can "command."

SM, is the Command Limit a hard number amount limit? As in, if we made a Golem besides Shade could it still listen to somebody elses command or are we stuck with just one robro?

>>31390918

This is actually a pretty good idea.

If we ever need Dynamos of a different element, we can always remove them from the Nemesis's Core and replace them with more Shadow Dynamos.

>>31390902
It could compress dynamos of the same type into one.
>>31390923
We can only command one at a time.

>>31390916

INTRODUCING THE NEW. QUAD-CORE AIRSHIP! FEATURES INCLUDE; SKY-SEVER RESISTANCE, CLOAKING, SELF-REPAIRING ARMOUR PLATING, PRECISION AND HEAVY ARTILLERY, OMNI-DIRECTIONAL POINT DEFENCE, AND MANY MORE!!!

>>31390902
>>31390916
>>31390918
Power was only my secondary concern here really. What I mean was we're increasing the ships mass with lots of auxiliary armor. Taking the parts is fine, but what happens to the heavy structural components they're built on? It's adding mass to the ship, and I don't want to be caught in a fight and find out that we can only accelerate barely fast enough to get away, you know?

Plus, I think it would just be cool to experiment with the cannibalisation function.

>>31390923
I think I know where you're going with this, anon.
Because provided the right materials we could make a cheap maintenance labor force for the Nemesis that work directly as servants for our forces inside. But they need power cores, man.

>>31390977

A fair point.... in that case, we shall add more engines...

Can we go steal the Velarions wreckage now?

All those parts must be practically unguarded.

And it has the only other Jump Drive in existance.

Has anybody else noticed that Velarion and Noiralev are inversed names?

>mfw we're going to monopolize the magical sky-city market in Venia since Xile a shit

>>31390971
we are going to need to go on a recruitment drive sometime if we ever want the population of Haven to rise to that of a proper city state.

>>31391035
Yesterday when SM mentioned it.

>>31391012

We have a hard 5 day cap on jump recharges, the battle is in 3 days, and I don't particularly want to fly our most powerful weapon away and do a rush job of the salvage anyways.

The Velarion will have to wait.

Reminder to not forget about getting Melody to agree to shelter Fangs Fleet from the SkySever while their aboard The Nemesis.

Since you know, that was one of the main reasons why we got them together in the first place.

>>31391054

Dammit, I noticed that back at thread 70.

>>31391049
all we would have to do is pay freemen or buy to colonize Haven and Xile.

>>31391070

SM implied this particular problem would no longer be an issue, although we haven't gotten a direct statement.

I wonder if Shadow is really as autistic as characterized, since he's been doing some pretty hardcore plotting lately...

>>31391060
Awwwww.

>>31391070
Seconding.

Also we should be sure that the next one we steal is from Kan-Abar and has an Earth Dynamo.

>>31391049
Or we could make people. You know humanization.

>>31391102
A city of humanized summons.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

>>31391091

They grow up so fast...

>>31391091
Actually SM told us last thread that we were going to have to speak to her about it before the battle.

He just said it will be easy. A simple conversation.

So, guys, from the talk with Steward earlier we can conclude that Venia itself is pretty much a dynamo, and much like dynamos to fuel things around them, I get the feeling that all magic (except perhaps Order magic, which probably comes from the Void Beyond/Erebus' void castle thing) in the end is drawn from the chaos core. The reason magic has been growing rampant for the past few hundreds of years is because of the core becoming more and more unstable.

I'm surprised so little speculation came from that dialogue, despite how much it implied. I mean, Venia itself would be the "fifth layer". The very world around the Chaos Core is akin to the HP we sunk into the shadow dynamo. I'm getting a feeling we're heading towards a sort of Tiamat-style creation of Venia (for those unfamiliar with the goddess Tiamat: she basically died and her body was split in two, one part forming the sky and the other the earth).

>>31391102

Easier, faster and more ethical to just make semi-autonomous drones.

An army of robo-Wisps would be pretty cool, actually.

I really wanna know what the higher tier shadow someones are... we have the exp...

>>31391120
>all these assumptions that do absolutely nothing for us.

Worry about the problems at hand, for there are plenty.

>>31391158
>someones
summons*

>>31390938
>It could compress dynamos of the same type into one.
If this were the case, it'd be 100% worth the chance of suffering minor power drops in order to confirm that there's a way to modify intact dynamos (and by extension their casings) without breaking them.

>>31390977
The point was that the dynamos used to have to power their respective ships' engines in addition to auxiliary systems.

With the cannibalized ships' dynamos power now being focused on specific systems, it takes strain off of the main dynamos that would otherwise have needed to augment those systems. The Lightning dynamo can put full power to weapons, Water to the primary cannon and habitation functions, Shadow to shielding and Wind to propulsion, rather than all four dynamos each needing to handle propulsion/shielding/weapons/etc simultaneously.

Amusingly, this sort of compartmentalization of function in an attempt to optimize performance is exactly what Erebus was doing by splitting himself into Shards to begin with.

If he could somehow get past the fact that we're doing it with Chaos as the power source, OG Erebus would probably be proud.

>>31391195
And in times of emergency power can be diverted.

Say for example we really need to book it out of there and shooting does no good we can divert power from the Lightning Dynamo to the Engine for a boost.

Let's just be sure that The elements aren't opposites. I think we could get High/Low to work together but not direct opposites.

>>31391169
It's interesting enough to speculate about the world's lore, and SM occasionally throws us a bone saying if we're thinking in the right direction. I think most immediate concerns have been well discussed at this point.

I guess we'll learn a lot more about it once we actually get the time to try and reach Erebus' void castle.

>>31391195

You know, this might be retarded, but maybe part of the reason Erebus split himself up in the first place was the recognition that he was fundamentally incapable of achieving his goal, whatever it was, in his correct mindset.

Maybe he was setting up a kind of schizophrenic personality battle of all his component selves in the hope that the strongest and best personality would win out and find a solution to the problem that he could not.

>>31391273
Nah, he almost did.

If we hadn't choson to save abby then he would have.

>>31391273
But he was capable of winning, in fact he almost did and he would have if not for us

>>31391270
Some of the speculation I'd like to figure out but haven't are the major threads of info that we've been given directly in character the past few threads, that like Hecate we don't really know what we do we just 'do,' and that we don't really understand completely how our powers work.

It's been nagging me personally since there's been five total instances where it's been emphasized over the most recent threads, and it may be hinting at something we're missing about ourselves right now...

"Auriel, we can produce our own water now, correct?"

"Well, what else would a water dynamo be good for?"

"So what about an Earth dynamo?" you say. "If we could feed ourselves, or even just produce some food, the Nemesis could stay airborne for even longer."

"...the space required makes that tough," she says, "but we could do it with just water. Still...the Earth dynamo might help quite a bit...hmm..." She nods to herself. "Alright. Everyone strap in!"

Auriel slaps a black button near the top of the console. You feel a tremendous Shadow pour forth from the shadow dynamo and wrap the ship. That must be the stealth reactivating. The Nemesis rises out of the gulley. The Wind around the ship redirects itself to the rear, and you leap forward at a tremendous pace. You grab a nearby railing for balance. The others already took seats at the table behind the console, at the top of the bridge. Apparently they were expecting the lead foot of a captain.

"Don't get too carried away," you say. "We want to keep things secret for the battle."

"Obviously." Auriel leans over the console. "Trust me, Shadow. I've been at this for a long time."

----------
----------

It takes you about four hours to locate an airship. By then, it's nightfall. Clouds have moved in, and the moon isn't out - it's relatively dark.

The glowing lights of the Green Oasis grow in front of you. It's a relatively large ship - bigger than any others besides you own that you've seen thus far. Even from here, you can feel its churning Earth dynamo keeping the winds of the world at bay. It is equipped with a variety of guns, but its main distinguishing feature is its heavy armor plating.

>con't

>>31391325
The final shard?

The Nemesis cruises above it, quietly gaining altitude at a safe distance. "What kind of ship is it?" you ask.

"Juggernaut class," Auriel says. "It's the kind to break fleet lines, withstand direct fire. You made me think of it, to be honest. We've got more armor, now, but the Nemesis is a huge target. That's the kind of upgrade we need."

"Ok," you say. "I can go on alone from here."

"Heh." Auriel keys in something on the console. The Nemesis's targeting systems lock onto the enemy ship.

"You're firing?" Abigail asks. "I mean, that new gun is big, but - "

"Not firing," Auriel says. "Ramming." She grabs the intercom device. "Gunners, to your stations! All hands, brace for impact. I repeat, all hands, brace for impact, now. I'm not kidding. You'd better get a grip on something!" She slaps the receiver back onto the panel.

"Captain, that's nuts!" Tyrael says. "We can't punch through its armor to board!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c-q5fouXsY

"We don't need to." Auriel flips open a switch and thumbs it down to a particular part of the menu - Cannibalize. She hits the button. "Hang on!"

She guns the ship forward. The Nemesis rockets down from the cloudline at a tremendous speed. The oblivious Green Oasis cruises below you, oblivious to the impending black death descending upon it.

Auriel thumbs up another control dial. The armored shutter flaps down over the bridge with a rickety clanging, sealing itself tight, and cutting off your vision.

A moment later -

-BOOOM-

Shadow, Water, Wind, and Lightning explode against a wall of earth. The sound of shrieking steel rocks the bridge. The armor in front of the window bends and buckles, but the glass is unharmed. After a moment, the sound stops. The armor straightens itself back out, forced by the ship's magic energy into its original position.

Auriel thumbs the shutter back open. And then you have a view of something you'd need to see to believe.

>con't

The docking limbs of the Nemesis have moved. Like long, grasping hands, they've rotated to grip the Oasis, forming a sort of four-pronged mouth. The ship is being carved up by the black tractor beams. Slices of armor move from the ship and onto the Nemesis, or float around the sides, attaching themselves here and there in some pre-calculated order you don't yet understand.

"Light!" Tyrael shouts. "We're eating an airship!"

<Awesome!> Abigail shouts to you. <This is just like you, but...bigger!>

The Oasis steadily falls apart. Once its dynamo is separated from the fuselage, the angry Winds begin to slice and hack at the rest of it. You see crewmen plummeting into widening gaps, or torn apart by the magic. It's like a floating earthquake combined with the storm force of a hurricane.

In moments, the vast majority of the enemy airship is free and clear, claimed by the Nemesis as the spoils of victory. The carrier's guns begin to fire, shooting bolts of Lightning powered by the Ragnarok's old dynamo into the chaos of wind and shredded adamantium. Cleanup is swift and sure. The mages on the bridge cheer and slap hands.

Just two minutes after impact, the Nemesis reactivates its stealth. The Earth dynamo inserts itself toward the back of the ship, and the deck extensions grow still longer. Every window has an armored shutter, now - you'd only seriously be in danger if an enemy fired on the carrier from directly behind or above it. Assuming you didn't just absorb the magic, anyway.

>con't

"What's the earth dynamo powering?" you ask Auriel.

"Seems like general systems power," she says. "It's reinforcing the adamantium armor, too. Though...I'm not even sure this thing is made of adamantium anymore. Damn." She rubs the console lovingly. "Who's a good girl? Was that a nice snack?"

"...I think the captain is going crazy," Tyrael mutters to you.

"I heard that!"

"...shit."

"It's getting late," Auriel says. "Let's head back. We can't exhaust ourselves before the main event."

What do you do now?

Jesus christ Auriel.

>>31391325
Yeah, I've been a bit worried about Hecate too. I'm getting the feeling that we won't be able to entirely get her to cooperate with what we have in mind. Seems like she intends to rule SOMETHING no matter what.

Calling it, we're gonna have to CONSUME her and all other elemental lords because they're just not compatible with not having some form of dictatorship.

>>31391396
>>speak with Melody and Fang about how you'll use the Staff of Winds in the battle

>>31391396
Wait a second don't we have the guns from the Noiralev?

>>31391396
>speak with Melody and Fang about how you'll use the Staff of Winds in the battle
gotta get them loaded up

>>31391396
>check in with Ila and Auriel about Lord Waterford's slave ring
if they're both here, why not?
>talk to Abigail about Hecate and her worrisome motivations
on the way back to Arland we have plenty of time to talk this over
>speak with Melody and Fang about how you'll use the Staff of Winds in the battle
when we arrive back in Arland

yay for time tables!

>>31391465
Good idea.

>>31391396
>speak with Melody and Fang about how you'll use the Staff of Winds in the battle

>>31391463
Of course we do.

>>31391396
Maybe giving the most zealous airship captain in the world an airship which can eat other airships wasn't the best of ideas

But uhh,
>>31391465
Seconding this for time logic.

>>31391465
Seconding.

>>31391465
this

>>31391396
that was fucking awesome SM

>>31391465

Thirding this. We can spend the next night meditating on our shards.

>>31391396
What's the charge-up time for warp now? Like a day or something?

>>31391396
Talk to abby about Hecate while we're flying back. Add in Auriel too.

>>31391465
This

>>31391510

Four days.

Decreasing returns on charge-up time.

>>31391465
Seconding this(Fourthing/Sixthing?)

Either way it makes the most sense, then we can go and meditate for the last night before the battle.

Also DON'T FORGET TO GET THE KINETIC BOMBARDMENT MISSILES FROM STEWARD!!!!!!!

>>31391565
>>31391510
Ehh, we can always charge it in like a minute with our won life force if we need to.

>>31391396
>>attempt to reach the Kan-Abar Fire mana pool and disrupt the city's defensive towers (not a priority)

>Not (oh shit, it's fucking nothing)
Why break the amusing streak?

>>31391571

You know, I'm starting to feel pretty confident about the actual battle.

Stealing Flint still fills me with paranoia and dread, but at least I know that the Demon Lords are going to be facing some stiff opposition.

>>31391571
Ooooh yeah.

We musn't forget about the UltimateRapeWorks that is the kinetic Bombardment plan.

>>31391571
If my math is correct we have almost two full days of meditation after we get back to Arland and consult Melody.

Also; seconding Nyx-KBM Sky Artillery ammo acquisition efforts.

>>31391571
Hypersonic that shit.

>>31391622
i think that it is night right now and once it is morning we have 24 hours till commencement.

>>31391622
Almost two full days of Shadow Mana Pool and Shadow Dynamo aided meditation, at that!

>>31391630
Would definitely be worth it.

And we wouldn't have to worry about dealing with the SkySever.

>>31391642
I will staunchly believe we have two full days until my math gets corrected by GOD HIMSELF.

>>31391647
>meditating in a Shadow Mana Pool with a Shadow Dynamo inside of us.

That should provide some seriously hefty bonuses.

>>31391686

We should probably hope to go into battle with all shards at Strong or better. We need the passive bonuses.

>>31391671
Why did I start this?

Seriously i should have just accepted that it was an earth dynamo and moved on.

>>31391705
Yes, yes you SHOULD have.

>>31391356
>"Please keep some secrets, k?"
>"Yeah, I know, I've done everything with an airship before, trust me."

>"...Except for this. This is a thing that literally nobody has ever done with an airship mid-flight before. Time to test it in combat right off the bat on an ostensible stealth mission."

>"...Also this combat-untested function is the one that, if discovered, would reveal that we're capable of integrating the other "missing" airships into the Nemesis rather than having to rely on multiple crews, thus potentially revealing ALL of our unknown capabilities simultaneously."

>"...And also we know from the first Cannibalize attempt that the consumed ship is physically integrated in a way that doesn't harm the crews, because otherwise it would've smashed Tyrael into paste. Which means that could possibly risk distributing the enemy airship's crew of unknown ability and composition seemingly at random all throughout our ship."

Hoooooly shit, this could've gone wrong in so many ways. Not that it wasn't awesome and that Auriel cooing over Nemesis isn't entirely adorable in a kind of weird way, but still.

Shouldn't we put some Shadow Totems on the Nemesis?

>>31391719
Y'know, we should probably bring up to her that a particularly stealthy demon may have made it onto the ship.

One that feels like Wind and Lightning.

>>31391738
They're not quite as useful with no shadow mana pool.

>>31391779
They can be powered by a Dynamo.

>>31391779
>>31391794

This guy has a good point. We should run though the Nemesis and install Shadow Totems for point defenses on major junctions and hallways. A Demon Lord boarding the Nemesis would be fucking awful, we should at least try to make it harder for them.

Just a reminder that we should leave SOME airships for our allies otherwise they will be pissed off.

>>31391738
>>31391794
Hell we could do that on the trip back as well then, can never have enough firepower.

>>31391719
What happened to the crew of the ship we just integrated?

>>31391794
Ability description says mana pool. SM might allow us to use the shadow dynamo, but it would likely cost us power from other systems (i.e. our cloaking).

>>31391828
They'll get over it. Considering all we're doing they don't exactly have room to complain

>>31391832
Didn't you read? They got frickin' annihilated. THEY DEAD.

>>31390479
>Currently: Arland, Dobshire, on the roof of the castle
man that doesn't seem like a good place to drop off airships quickly, if we go on a Kan-Abar Pocketing run.

>>31391856
If an enemy gets inside... then a diversion of power from cloaking to interior defenses sooounds like an okay idea.

>>31391875
We should also remember that we may want to change the anchor to the planned battlefield again, as well. Just in case we need to skeedaddle from Kan-Abar to the front lines.

>>31391828
Pourquoi?

Vellik can have his Kelvere ships.

But Kan-Abar's airships are surely fair game.

I mean sure, Prince Obis might want them back after the war. But he can consider it restitution for the war thing.

Maybe we should run a sweep of the Nemesis for intruders?

>>31391856
It would be a minor cost at worst.

You decide to talk to Ila and Auriel about lord Waterford.

Unfortunately, they don't really have much to report on that front. They've been so busy with everything else that investigating him in depth might have to wait until after the war.

You then decide to tell Abigail about Hecate. You relate to her what Adavan said to you, especially emphasizing how Hecate doesn't seem to obey the normal rules where telepathy's concerned.

"...I don't know how I feel about that," Abigail says. "I don't like the idea of her spying on everything just by being there. But...I want to believe she has good intentions."

"So do I," you say, "but Adavan was careful in telling me that before she returned from the Dream Walk. In fact, he threw it in right at the end, just before she got back. He wanted to make sure I knew that."

"...why do you think?"

"The only reason that makes sense," you say, "is if he's a little worried himself. Freeing her from her seal has been his only goal for so long. Now that she's back - well, maybe it's shaking him up. He might be realizing from the comparison how much the world has changed. How everyone's moved past the elemental lords, learned to live without them."

"I don't want conflict with Hecate," Abigail says. "I think that she can help us. I want her to help with Archon, to help our people. But if she thinks she has some sort of innate right to choose things for us, then we might hit a rough patch."

"Yeah. My thoughts exactly."

"Ok. I'll talk with my uncle about it, too."

"Are you sure?"

"He needs to know," she says. "We prepare for the worst. But hope for the best."

"Yeah. Good point."

>>31391900
we don't need to go to the frontlines this many days before the battle.

not on a scale that supersonic wouldn't be enough for.

>>31391936
>>31391900
>It would be a minor cost at worst.
We shall see.

The ship arrives in Arland not long after midnight. Some of the crew return to the castle; others stretch their legs briefly before returning to their quarters. The ship was relatively spacious before, but now you don't have nearly enough people to fill the halls. Maybe, in time, Haven will grow.

You decide that you need to check in with Melody and Fang on the status of the Staff of Winds. Luckily, neither of them need sleep.

You walk up through the castle to the Black Lady's suite. You knock on the door.

"Just a moment," comes a woman's voice.

The door cracks open. Melody stands there.

She's wearing a blood red dress. You'd describe all her outfits as almost excessively conservative, but this is...revealing.

"...Melody?"

"Shadow." She clears her throat. "What is it? I was...about to retire, for the evening."

You smell wine on her lips.

"...I was wondering about the Staff of Winds. I know you were hesitant about its use in the upcoming battle..."

Melody looks down, then back up. "...I've...I think I have reconsidered, Shadow. The Archmage has plans to bring up his fleet alongside three of his airships. They're already modified for the task, so I don't believe he'll be making use of Haven's craft."

"Good." You awkwardly shuffle back. "Well, good night."

"Yes. Good night."

She shuts the door - but not before you have time toe extend your senses into the room. No hiding that pressure of Spirit - Yi fang is inside.

The wood clicks closed, and the enchantment Melody uses to keep her privacy glows back into place.

Lame. I want my Artifact use back.

>>31391934
Tyrael can do that from the bridge. which can detect everything but Shadow.

>>31391948
We put our anchor there in the first place in the instance that we needed to teleport to the front lines for the pent arch sigil business, just in case we got double bluffed. It hasn't lost relevancy in our greater scheme of things.

Fang plans on attacking in the pre-dawn hours. The means you have about 72 hours until the attack. Plenty of time to meditate, or finalize plans with allies.

What do you do now?

Let's Cannibalize Xile itself.

The whole thing's kept aloft and preserved by the Sky Engine (the ur-Dynamo), after all. What is it but a big, dumb, earthen airship?

>>31392054
We may not be able to CONSUME anything but other airships.

>>31392157
>WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
I like the way you think. I second this ingenious plan.

upgrades and meditation can work just as well in 24 hours. the element of surprise for airship stealing has an expiration, thuogh.

>>31392186
Hell.. maybe have Steward observe the process as well. He always manages to learn something useful.

>>31392159

>we CAN consume anything
>even Steward's Gundam

Holy Fuck, guys. Can you imagine dropping out half of the Nemesis and it forms a 90-meter tall Gundam fighting machine?

Sandalphon would lose control of his bowels. Hyperion himself would deeply reconsider his sense of place within Venia.

>>31392190
They already know about us stealing their aiships.

We've been doing it for the past three days.

>>31392099

No, that was on the border with Arland/Kelvere

----------
----------

Steward tells you that your Kinetic Bombardment project will be completed 24 hours before the battle. You can pick up the shaped charges at that time.

----------
----------

You try to decide what to do. You don't just want to rest on your laurels. Everything that can be done before the battle must be done.

You shards could definitely use some strengthening. If you get caught without them in reserve, you could take a beating. It's been more than 24 hours since you started attacking airships - the enemy has probably caught onto the fact that their navy is being attacked. But one less airship to deal with means you have that much more of an advantage...

What do you do?

Looks like some meditation time.

Meditations occur in roughly 12 hour steps. You can work on two shards during this time period (or the same shard, twice)

Which two shards?

(Retribution) - Normal

(Silence) - Strong
(Peace) - Normal
(Breeze) - Normal
(Hammer) - Strong
(Ardor) - Normal
{Resolve} - Strong
{Humanity} - Resonant

Hmmm, if you say so.

-----
-----

You stand in the Shadow mana pool at Haven, holding aloft the Shadow dynamo. You couldn't be dipped in more Shadow if you tried.

And then you mediate. You feel yourself grow still. Your mind relaxes. You seek the shards of power within yourself and push that force you feel around you into them.

It feels a bit more effective than usual. But...though you strengthen their core Orderly structure, the Chaos holding them together still takes time to grow.

Despite that, your work goes as well as you could have hoped.

(Ardor) - Strong
(Maker) - Empowered

It's now about noon. You have 60 hours left until the attack.

You notice a few robots observing you from the edges of the mana pool. Perhaps they're relaying information to Steward? Good, he'll probably need all the date he can get.

What do you do?

Go on a pre-war date with abby. Just the two of us. no double date nonsense, that leads to plot and exposition.

Lets just take a minute to check in with everyone, and then go back to meditating.

Might not want to just go a full 24 hours sitting in the pool.

We're not wasting that kinda time.

In that time we could steal an airship and save thousands of lives.

>>31392891
You mean a full 48 hours, we've already slept for 24 hours.

>>31392923
No, we just meditated for 12

>>31392923
>Meditations occur in roughly 12 hour steps. You can work on two shards during this time period (or the same shard, twice)

>>31392923
Anon, you need to read more closely.

Alright, roll them dice.

Peace, Ardor

At some point we should ask Steward about letting the Nemesis eat a robot brain. We might be able to give the ship an AI, with all the advantages that provides.

As Star Trek has proved, nothing can possibly go wrong when your ship becomes self-aware.

>>31393253
I could probably vote 50+ times in four minutes if I setup my networks properly.

The only correct ways to play SQ.

>>31393302
You mean... suggest to steward to make an A.I. for the Nemesis?

You know Auriel is just going to spend most of her time talking with it, right?

>>31393335
We can call it Flint

>>31393335
Oh dear fuck. Show our Darkxis impression to Steward and have him base the AI off that. PLEASE SM MAKE IT HAPPEN I WILL CRY RAINBOWS.
