"he created me... that's how?? Besides I trust him. I dont think he wouldn't have me do anything without good reason." He leaned back

"Huh." Kyo glowered. "Yeah, could you ditch Swiftie here for a minute and take me to meet this 'director'? I have some questions for him."

"Uh I mean sure?" He stood up and pulled out a watch. He pressed some buttons and twisted it. The world blinked and they appeared in a science lab. there wasnt anything in it but neatly organized bottles and stuff. Jack wandered out into the halls (think kamino from starwars). A few scientists moved around. Jack stopped one. "Hey dya know where Daxter is?" The scientist pointed down the hallway and Jack started off. "So kyo this is my home."

Sequence shook her head. “I have everything I need already, but thank you.” She lifted one hand above her head, and the night sky sped up a bit, and the alarmingly large and crimson, yet pleasantly mild and dim sun rose on the horizon. “Anything else I can do? I’m afraid changing this dressing may take a while, so if there’s anything you need I’d prefer to do it now.”

Unintelligible winced at the sight of the wound. "We'll be okay. I'm going to see if Moni will agree to help with my plan."

Ryver bowed to her. "No, I think that's all for me."

Cadewyn shook his head. "I'm fine. just gonna eat and such till you need me."

Eepy leaned forward, "What's that black stuff spilling out of you? Is it blood!? Are you Ok? Do you want me to lick it? Did you say something a minute ago? I can look at your ouchy! I can usually help those. They get better when I lick them."

"I  doubt that will help." Unintelligible said softly. "It's a particularly dangerous variety of wound, immune to basically any form of magical healing. Which is why she hasn't been able to heal it by herself."

Unintelligible pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Hey, Moni? This is Unintelligible. Could you come over here? I have a favor to ask you."

Sequence shared a look with Aelinor, nodding as Unintelligible spoke. “I fear that you would most likely only risk harming yourself… But I thank you for the offer.” Sequence gave a pained smile and gently patted Eepy’s head.

           “It’s when people panic. They try to fix everything before it breaks. As erryin is trying to do now. I push buttons right where they are to cause people to snap. Sensitive spots and all. Everyone has one. Though you rebus… you dont have very many. Erryin has so so many but they’ve hidden their past from everyone. Not even their partner knows who they are. Sure they know about the murders but.. nothing else. Im sure they dont want you to do the same thing they did. Even if it means symbol never gets saved. Symbol symbol, the only semi weak place that ive found for you rebus.”

erryin clenched their fists and wind swirled around them. “If you dont shut your mouth im going to rip your jaw off!!:’”

Erryin felt a presence behind them, and there floated a knife, vaguely reminiscent of a kunai. It was snow-white with a faintly teal cord wrapping its hilt. A translucent blue chain dangled from the bottom, and gradually faded into nothing. It let out a soft hum. 

“Behaving yourself?” said an ambiguous voice, which seemed to come from the knife.

Sequence nodded slowly, and gently reached out to touch Unintelligible’s arm. Thank you, she mouthed silently to avoid disturbing his phone call, before pulling her hand away perhaps a bit quickly. She tried to smile, but despite her best efforts to hide it, terror loomed behind her eyes. She vanished with a soft puff of gray smoke.

"My metalminds are on my ribs, so there's no problem there, and I don't need my lungs anyway if I have cadmium. Would sophons - non-magical AI protons - work? Sandy has a few. As for Order and Chaos... this caused abiogenesis, many times in the universe. I think you may be able to create a new strain of life, with its own biochemistry. Biological Von Neumann machines are possible, I feel."

Also they have SIM, strong-interaction material, at macro scales. If a pewter-compounder punched it, there wouldn't be a scratch.

“I believe you and the sophons may both be able to survive there, but I’m not certain you’ll be able to find the group - and I’m unsure whether the sophons will be able to communicate. Regardless, I suspect you that once the correct Author returns, it will suddenly become much easier to find them.” Rebus shrugged. “Abiogenesis is a clever idea - I can see if it affects the Plague. Von Neumann Machines may be a bit of a redundancy, however.” Rebus held out his hand, and a silver liquid began to pool in his palm. He poured it onto the ground, and the color began to spread, creeping across the floor. 
That’s probably stronger and harder to overload than Rebus’s current force fields, but it’s likely anything Rebus encounters will be able to breach either both or neither.

Lyric frowned. "I'm not thinking clearly? Why are you walking in all of these weird directions?" Indeed, for some reason the once-wide corridor had turned into a series of confusing, narrow hallways.

Jack was getting to be really alarmed - for one thing, the ceiling was too low. “You were talking about people who are not there. Or maybe I am the crazy one - are there gear poisons? Because now we’re lost and we still haven’t learned the meaning of life.” He slumped against one of the walls. 

On 11/14/2025 at 7:54 PM, Ashkaloda said:

Erdikan studied Rebus for a moment. "And what chance do you give of your plans succeeding?"

“Well enough for an outcome I would consider acceptable is perhaps a ninety-five percent chance. An outcome I suspect you would accept is perhaps a sixty percent chance. The odds of fully accomplishing my primary plans is perhaps twenty-five percent - I fear that if I take too long, others may summon the Witherlord before me. Two of four of the guardians of the Lost Page are tangentially contaminated with Chaotic Darkness, which could very well become a problem.”

Rebus nodded slowly - this made sense to him, though he considered it a means to an end rather than an end in itself. “Symbol is indeed one of the few emotional attachments I still possess. But I am not certain you wish to see me… unrestrained. Perhaps you do - if you make me angry and remove my will to live in one fell swoop, the consequences could be downright apocalyptic.” Rebus grinned, ignoring Erryin’s outburst and the floating knife that was responding to it. “We shall see if you can break me, and if you can survive doing so - in the meantime, perhaps I can direct you to some relevant targets. Cricket is already on the edge, but I shall handle that. Malevolence is always very broken - I’m not certain he would respond properly to psychological warfare. Bacon is nearly impossible to ruffle - I suspects he does the same as I, resetting to a baseline personality to completely ignore any torment that can’t worm its way in as character development. That leaves Sequence - I suspect she may turn to me for help if something truly alarming happens and I play my cards right. She still thinks I can be redeemed - and she might be correct.”

“Yes, i think bacon is harder to fluff then you are. All i have to do is threaten symbol, and well. Sequence i think would be easy. I just gotta push erryin to the edge, if i go far enough then.” He laughed a slightly manic laugh, “Viper will come out and here at the party it would cause the best kind of chaos!”

“You simply don’t know the buttons to press - merely mention Bacon the Tax Collector. As for Symbol, you would have to reach her.” The corner of Rebus’s mouth turned up, producing a smirk that seemed straight out of an anime. “I do admit, I feel sorry about Erryin. They’re understanding of me - perhaps they understand why you are so much more helpful. So go right ahead…”

 sársauki óreiðu grinned “im sure they wont live long enough to worry.” They held a hand out. “Fear not if anyone is watching, this isn’t an attack. No one will be hurt from this specific action.” A little mist flicked off of his hand and wiggled into erryins ear. “It only speaks facts.”

erryin froze and turned. Their eyes lacked any emotion. Their form flickered between normal and what seemed to be a younger version, longer hair and an all black outfit, still a crop top but the whole thing seemed eerie.

The floating knife hummed an annoyed tune, its faint blue glow tinging with red. 

“Rebus, sársauki óreiðu, and Erryin. There will be no evil plotting on Sequence’s World.” It continued to buzz angrily. “If you think you can find loopholes in the rules here, you are mistaken. We are not stupid. Cease, leave, or be removed by force.” The knife’s voice was somewhat shrill and tinny, but it did its best to sound threatening.

Named jumped. "Did you create another strain of life now? Or are these machines?"

I think I understated. There are only five ways I can think of that can break SIM. 

1) Throw it into a black hole

2) Sabotage the inner machinery from higher dimensions, though this can be shielded against.

3) Pit it against its naturally occurring form, neutron star core.

4) When it's travelling close to lightspeed and enters a region where the speed of light is slower, the SIM gets flattened, breaking its machinery.

5) Use more SIM

Would it be immune to antimatter annihilation?

Good point. Definitely not, the strong nuclear force would only make it annihilate faster.

But, if you only annihilate a small part of it, I don't think there'll be enough force to damage the rest of the SIM.

So you'd need closer to the actual SIM's mass in antimatter.

That's number 6.

Dax chuckled. “Ah you did?” He looked over and adjusted his glasses. “Oh quite the unique one. Dragon wings? Fascinating.” He motioned to a chair. “Come sit sit please.” The chair was designed so it was usable for someone with wings and a tail.
