Re: [The Forever Tree]Rustdeity IC.

The Iron Father nods in agreement. “Done.” OOC: Points of interest? Well, they’ve secured several, already. A ‘clean’ fusion reactor, enough juice in it to power a healthy LunDun for a week; a library of data crystals FULL of lost knowledge; a robotics factory super-specialized in making golems expl...

Re: [The Forever Tree]Rustdeity IC.

“Either way is acceptable, to me,” Harad’dim nods. “As to the core below, we are still searching. Our search is frustrating—-the core exists at multiple locations at once. When we reach a place it exists, it stops existing there. There are thousands of these potential hidey-holes. Forcing it to mate...

Re: [The Forever Tree]Rustdeity IC.

The Iron Father harumphs, as if annoyed, but says, “We need to disable this ‘Alice’ Icon in order to beginning repairing it. It has been functionally brain-dead for millennia, and it no longer has conscious thought. We’re finishing the Cybernetic lobotomization. Then, we bring in our replacement cor...

Re: Jab’s Builds (Thanos! The Infinity Gauntlet! The Magus! Nebula!)

Oh my goodness, Dragonlance. It’s due to Weis and Hickman and Dragonlance that elves had this notion of insane arrogance bordering on tyranny. The Qualinesti are less nasty than the Silvanesti, but both Qualinesti and Silvanesti can’t really be perceived as good: they’ve each done way too much nasty...

Re: [The Forever Tree]Rustdeity IC.

Upon reaching the Iron Father, racing down from floor to floor to floor—-whirring by wonders of a lost age—-Imperious and Nepenthe find themselves in a vast chamber with an enormous Icon-core in the exact center of the room, cords leading to it. Dozens of Enginseers move to and fro setting up delica...

Re: [The Forever Tree]Rustdeity IC.

Nepenthe looks shocked. “That...where did you hear about that?!! That’s not something that should ever be used! It’s a Sunsphinx omnikey, it can open up anything , anything at all. My husband kept it on him at all times. He gave it to some winged xeno he’d slept with, but took it back right before t...

Re: [The Forever Tree]Rustdeity IC.

Voice one sighs, then says, |- Imperious. We were just discussing you. I am in the structure called Gargantuan Benjamin, an ancient clock tower. We are at the ground floor, and could DEFINITELY use assistance of your caliber. |- Allow me to introduce myself. I am Harad’din, Iron Father of the Eclect...

Shai’Halal says, “ I can do better than that. That dead Enginseer still has an open line. ” With this in mind, Imperious is able to find the appropriate frequency, and hears...

Re: [The Forever Tree]Rustdeity IC.

The cords speak in a whisper, as if ashamed. “ Part of the Lady was here: her emotions. Her mind is in danger, and her memories are already destroyed. The great father of iron came and told us the Lady needed help, so we did nothing! But as the great father’s men removed her emotions, the jaborwocky...

Those very same cords' souls speaking, saying, "Shaman! Shaman! Our ward is stolen from us! The Lady must return! The Lady must return! Without her, the looking glass will shatter and the jaborwocky released! O, the Lady must return!"

Re: [The Forever Tree]Rustdeity IC.

“ Hmmm. Interesting. Her core was removed surprisingly not too long ago. A few days. I was expecting her absence to be millennia old, but it’s relatively fresh. I believe the Enginseers may be the culprits, but I have only minimal data corroborating this theory. “ Her Icon was severely damaged nearl...

Re: [The Forever Tree]Rustdeity IC.

“ First question. It would disable all nanoswarms throughout the city and immobilize seven tank-golems of epic proportions. That last bit is somewhat superfluous, however, as those golems are, like the Abbey core, under millions of tons of rocks and can’t free themselves even with their Herculean st...

“ Scanning now, ” Shai’Halal says. A moment later. “ Found it. Lucas, we have an unlikely bout of good luck in this regard. The core is buried under a million tons of rubble, miles below the surface. We can’t get to it, but neither can anyone else. If we shut it down, it will be unable to reactivate...

Re: [The Forever Tree]Rustdeity IC.

Any trace of the Abbey’s former religious function has clearly been overwhelmed by first millennia of secularization, then by millennia of ruination. It is a sad spectacle, a tumbled ruin echoing a much greater age. Walls have partially collapsed, and, interestingly, its roof is... missing . Aa if s...
