QF79 Cycle 5 - A Surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one!

[Doc12]

"I see through the lies of Azren," Goolius the slug cried, weapon raised in its tail "I will bring peace, freedom, justice and security to the Superiority!"

“My allegiance is also the Superiority, to democracy!” Azren shouted back, her own weapon trained on Kitar.

Kitar shouted, "She's not with us, Goolius, she's against us!"

"Only the Dissidents think in absolutes!" Azren screamed.

Goolius thought very hard. 

"Goolius, Kitar's a dissident!" Azren tried again.

"From my point of view Azren is the dissident!" Goolius wailed.

"Then you are lost!" Azren screamed back.

Superiority Security arrived again, right before the violence could begin. The suspects were pressed against walls, stripped of weapons, and - what's this? 

Kitar had an encrypted high-gain radio that was not standard issue for medics!

"You'd better come with us," said the Chief.

Kitar wailed, but could see no point in resisting. 

She had just wanted the best for her people, the UrDail...

"I'm sorry," she said, though no one knew to who exactly, as she was taken away. 

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

Zrraii enjoyed its job. Its crystals spread far and wide through the life support systems of the Diplomacy. It didn't possess the technology in the way that Figments did, but Zrraii would argue that the Resonants had just as much of a command over technology, despite being so different. 

Like a spider's web, its crystals in the far flung corridors picked up footsteps coming to its central core minutes before the attackers arrived. They were good. Zrraii only had minutes to react. 

Resonants aren't known for being particularly mobile. Zrraii had grown into the Diplomacy over decades.

That said, Resonants aren't particularly known for being Cytonic either. 

The attackers found their way into a room occupied by a gigantic green crystal spire with hundreds of outgrowths with hammers, prepared to shatter it. The face in the crystal smiled. Zrraii prepared for the greatest adventure of its life.

The attackers charged.

And the room was suddenly empty. 

---------

Through the Living Star was executed! They were a Dissident and a Cytonic Sensor and Inhibitor!

Through the Living Wahr was attacked, but hyperjumped to safety!

[Verdance he/him]

Well this is wonderful 

i think it might be a good time to mention i have two ability points and inhibition as well as communication, but most importantly zero social skills if Star is clear

i think Coco is pretty much clear, and Drake likely needs to die. My point still stands about TUM. 

[coco.pudding she/they]

That was a stunning writeup. Absolute cinema. You’re making me want to rewatch Star Wars even more now.

Anyways Drake.

[Verdance he/him]

Drake

i also have mindblades which I decided not to cancel on Coco, sorry, was pretty confident you were elim

[___ He/Him]

Dang coco I was wrong. Really sorry about that last minute vote in that case

Well I guess there's only one option 

Drake

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

this distro, man

well I'm still proud we got within a coin's throw of winning

with that said I forfeit

I assume it is proper for me to commit seppuku at once

Drake

[Verdance he/him]

Isn’t there a third elim though?

Update! Star inhibited my Mindblades but not somehow my protective inhibition field?

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

Glad my logic was correct 

It was nice not misexing you for once Coco

Drake

I wonder who the third elim is here. Ver is very odd, but odd does not an elim make. I'll try to do some analysis tomorrow

[coco.pudding she/they]

If someone is willing to protect me tonight I can probably find out fairly easily who the third elim is. I just need to not die in the process.

You did really good. I was getting worried at the end there. But yeah the distro is a little crazy. I do think I got pretty lucky hitting Wahr and TUM, but still. Kinda crazy.

It’s okay. All’s well that ends well, amiright?

Directionless, but three powers to prevent me from staying quiet like a normal person

[Through the living Wahr He/Him]

Drake

Its the only Option. Have too say I am so happy that the Elims attacked me over TUM, because it meant one more living Villager.

If we assume 3 elims there are still two alive.

One of them is Drake

I would assume Coco, Me and TUM are soft cleared

That leaves Penguin, ___/mippo or Verdance as the possible third Elim.

I am most Sus of ___/mippo but this is a problem for tomorrow, However I do not think I will be alive tomorrow, the elims have already shown that tjey will attack until the Target is actually Dead.

Exactly!

And now two elims have been figured out, so assuming there's any more and this isn't just win, it's most probable villagers win

[Through the living Wahr He/Him]

As Zrraii reappeared in another part of the Diplomacy he learned why a Hyperjump is not the best Idea for a Resonant. Yes the Jump undoubtably saved Zrraiis life but most of his Crystals needed the surfaces they had grown on to support themselfes. Now in a diffrent room with diffrent surfaces most of his Geode structure collapsed in on itself, his centrall pillar was the main part that survived the Jump. He started to grow his Crystals outward again to reabsorb his collapsed parts, it would probably quite a time until he had fully recovered, but he had appeared near a communication device, which he promptly used to contact the Administrator "Administrator Petra, here speaks the Ressonant Zrraii. I have to report that I am unfortunately no longer able to monitor life support. I was attacked by Dissidents and had to use a Hyperjump to another part of the Station. I am unaware where exactly I am right now."

Azren was hurrying through the halls of the Diplomacy, shuffling through the massive pile of forms they would have to fill out now that five citizens had been killed. Well, technically they weren’t all citizens, and one was a traitor, but still. There was paperwork for all of them. Their head was so buried in the forms, in fact, that they didn’t see the crystal growth on the floor and tripped over it, falling onto the ground, their body spinning and smacking against the wall of their exoskeleton head, papers flying everywhere.

”Oh! Oh, my deepest apologies for running into you! I didn’t see—wait. You’re that life-support resonant aren’t you? Zrraii, right? How did you manage to get here? Oh, but I’ve been so rude.” They picked themself up as they spoke. “I’m Azren, from Interspecial Resources. It’s nice to meet you, even if our method was a bit unconventional.”

[Through the living Wahr He/Him]

"Please, Azren there is no need for you to apologize, It is hardly your fault when I suddenly be in places I should not be" replied Zrraii. "You see, there were these people, I didnt recognize them and they wore Masks, so I cannot say who they were. But they wanted to smash me with Hammers. I think they may have been disidents. The only way for me to survive, was to Hyperjump out of Life Support. It was a very unpleasant experience, as you can see."

“Hyperjump? My, my, Cytonic abilities in a Resonant? I’ve never heard of something like that before. You really shouldn’t do that, you know. Hm. Usually I would have to put in a report. Cytonics are illegal for a reason, after all. But I suppose since this was an emergency…and I doubt you can control it…I won’t report you this time. As for the dissidents, well, one was found, and their radio signal was traced to another. They should be gone very soon. But I am deeply sorry you were on the wrong end of their aggression.

Hm. Perhaps I could help you return to life support? Is there a part of you I can carry back? I assume you don’t want to stay in this hallway forever.”

"I know I shouldnt use Cytonics, and I would not have done it if it wasnt necessary to save my life. Look at all these crystal Shards lieing around, the relocation destroyed big parts of my body. It would be greatly appreciated if you could carry my central collum back to life support" Answers Zrraii as he forms a face in said central collum to indicate what needed to be relocated. "I would also appreciate it if my shattered pieces could be brought there as well, so that I can reabsorb them and am able to fullfill my tasks in life support."

“Of course, of course.” Azren starts gathering the pieces up and moving toward the life support room.

(I would do more but I gtg do silly adult things like job now so I’ll be back later. I’m not ghosting you or something I promise

"Thank you, Azren" I will remember your kindness

Wait what happened?

Wait what happened?

Since Stars flipp revealed that Drake has to be elim, there is nothing to Disscuss today, so I did a bit of Roleplay in response to the murder attempt on me this Cycle and Coco engaged with it.

Not challenging this, but walk me through the logic as to how you and TUM are soft cleared?

I wonder if i can protect someone else from my own mindblades with inhibition

we will see

[Through the living Wahr He/Him]

Now you remember how Coco claimed that me and TUM had no communication with anyone outside of thread? She also claimed Star and Drake had communication outside of thread with each other, Star was exed and flipped Elim. This means 

a) That Star and Drake lied and Drake too is Elim

b) Since Coco said the truth about Star and Drake, it stands too reason that she also did about me and TUM because there is no logical reason for her too lie about us and if TUM and I have no out of Thread communication with anyone, we cannot be Elims since the Elim Doc would show up in her Cocos Scans.

[Verdance he/him]

Hmmm. So if we trust Coco, we trust you and TUM.

will come back to challenge that some other day, but good enough for now.
