Quest threads.

Appealing to fetishes is not creativity.

>>8407637
...are pretty awesome, is the rest of that sentence.

>>8407630
Get ye elevator!

DAMNIT! I keep hearing SHODAN's voice while reading... It s just... not fitting to the setting... for some reason it takes the whole mood away and says
"Hey look you are in System Shock not in Warhammer40k anymore!"

I don't get what subhumans actually find this shit appealing.

>>8407630
>what do

Check drone. Put forward plans for a monolith upgrade.

This is why /tg/ isn't good. Thread hid.

See if we can communicate further with the lady: if so, ask her why she and the dusk guy are feuding
If not, do physical check of self and drone

>>8407660
>>8407657
>>8407637

This is not a new thing on /tg/. Get over yourself.

Pic unrelated.

>>8407679
What fetish?

No, really.

>>8407660
they have so far kept me quite entertained for the entire week, i look forward to them every night. plus this guys a dam good GM if u ask me, plus us the players have been dam right lucky considering how horrible our rolls have been.
>>8407630
check with drone for any schematics for the fastest possible route there, if drone has nothing to add then look for a close by terminal and start hackin

SAMEFAG

>>8407741
its deliciously true

>>8407630
Where's the nearest lift to Deck 3?

The cocksucking nature of these threads and their persistence makes them extra awful.

You know what's great? This is probably the same shitflood troll from earlier in the week, except he got banned last night for being a colossal faggot. So now he's forced to whine like a bitch in the hopes of being disruptive.

Way to move up in the world, buddy.

Unrelated, try to locate the Lady's tomb and kill her.

One last cuddle for the drone then off we go

Awul lot of samefagottry in this thread...

There's at least two people in this thread saging.

"Insect?"

>>8407760
I don't even take part in quests, but no. Quests are more /tg/ related than Mass Effect threads, but we get those every day. Quests are more /tg/ related than drawthreads, but few complain about those. They're more related than monstergirls and furries but we can't get those to leave even with word of moot. And while they're vaguely similar to avatarfagging threads, at least they're not half as shitty.

Delicious Necrons please carry on!

>>8407775
"Vas Paus, I'm sorry I almost destroyed-
It would have been terrible to lpse you again, but I don't know if I could've really stopes the Lady.
What do you think of her letting us off the hook like that?"

>>8407822
> And while they're vaguely similar to avatarfagging threads, at least they're not half as shitty.
We disagree.

>Do not post the following outside of /b/:
>off-topic replies

>>8407821
Well, there is the resemblance to a certain Necron fast attack choice that we currently bare.

>>8407855
Not intended as threadshitting.

But at least this thread has a pretense of being related, at worst. Trolling doesn't.

we still need a weapon right? lets go looking for some

>>8407864

Heh. Right, OK.

At least we should throw her an evil look.

Bloody Christ titty fucking.

I knew this would fucking happen. God damn, let things cool down.

>>8407849
You can't be serious. I understand quest hate, but calling avatarfagging better? Clearly a joke.

Grandpa Dreadnaught is a far more annoying blight upon this board than any quest gm.

>>8407879
Indeed, let's check the current location for any weapons, tools, datapads, or com terminals

>>8407657
>>8407679
I, I'm sorry, how is this in any way a fetish? Or sexual at all? I mean, unless you're so pathetic that you can't play a female character without instantly sexualizing it. In which case, wow. You are pretty pathetic.

>>8407660
You already had a thread today asking this same question.

>>8407630
Well, let's head to the elevator. Or stair, if the elevator is out.

Yaddah, yaddah.

Cuddle drone, throw evil look, check for some boom sticks.

>Sees Tauquest fall into a flaming wreck.

Best quest thread ever.

>>8407933
Yes, because clearly interactive fiction is circle jerking.

>>8407933
>>circlejerking

Why, that's the very definition of avatarfagging threads.

I don't know how anyone could find their shit funny.

>>8407954

It happens on occasion.

But it does look like OP wandered off.

Ah /tg/, you are being awesome today.

No matter the trolls, sagers, idiots, and retards you are getting a quest-thread done.
Bro-fists for everyone.
/tg/: about 82, trolls: 0

Also: Second >>8407716.

>>8407924
Airvents as well

>>8407933
>>circlejerk fanfiction

Clearly, than by this logic so is any RPG.

But fuck you, you obvious 40kid. D&D is half the reason this board was made, and half the reason people come here.

God fucking damnit.

Tauquest thread spammer, you're a faggot. Some of us actually enjoy quest threads. You're quite literally ruining the board, I hope you enjoy dying alone.

Ask him nicely-
If he refuses Just ignore him

>>8408024
Meh, I have a feeling that he'll stop sooner or later.

So are you posting these rape things because you think they're asinine or something?
Because it's not like they're wrong.
Also, fuck off.
I'm not even participating in the quest itself and you're bothering me.

>>8408024
The obvious answer is to go spam a bunch of 40k threads. Your spammer will have to choose between spamming the quest or watching his favorite threads die in flames.

OP, if you are around, the thread's on.

So what happens?

>Tauquest thread spammer, you're a faggot.

This.

On the front page right now there's a 3.5 troll thread, a thread about someone making a laptop case, a thread about mass effect, and a thread about HATS of all things. You could be shitting up any of those, but instead you're in here.

Congratulations, I'm leaving /tg/ for the night. I hope you enjoy being alone, because that's how you're going to end up.

>>8407630

Hit up them stairs, my boy. Go go go!

What the fuck is the rape list?

You cast a petulant glance around the room, but if the Lady was ever really here - more likely she initiated a remote connection, Drone helpfully suggests - she's gone now. Lacking a suitable target for your discontent you instead give the scarab another affectionate squeeze and place it on your shoulder, allowing it to scamper down between your shoulders and click into place on your spinal dock.

The chamber is bare save for a single device, the medallion-like core of a necron warrior's breastplate. It sits in a cobbled-together receptacle, conduits running from the device beneath the deckplates and into the ship's power systems.

Drone informs you that this is a combination of power generator and phase module, part of what allows necron warriors to be teleported back to their tombs when they suffer catastrophic damage. It appears to have been modified to allow the Lady to pluck you from the engineering deck before you were flushed out into space along with the Dusk's phase drive.

Succesful Troll is nearing Success!

(Just ignore him guys)

>>8408021
52. If you bump into a woman and don't say "excuse me" you're a rapist.
53. If you think of a girl naked and she doesn't know you're still a rapist.
54. If you park in a parking lot a little too much to the right so it'll be really hard for someone who parks normally to get out of their car you're a rapist.
55. If you masturbate and your semen hits the floor and a woman walks on your carpet in the next fifty years you're a rapist.
56. Toilet seat up? You're a rapist.
57. If you ever end up getting into a convoluted bet with a rich Arabian man whereby you must wrestle a bear to the ground in order to secure your freedom from his underground death-games tournament and you manage to survive and escape and return to bring the man to justice and his wife falls in love with your bear-wrestling bravado then you're a rapist.
58. If you pick a fire-type Pokemon on your first play through of any Pokemon game you're a rapist.
59. If you cannot rub your stomach and pat your head at the same time you're a rapist.
60. If you congratulate your sister on graduating college with honors by giving her a hug you're a rapist.
61. If you're left-handed, you're a rapist.
62. If you're having sex with the woman and she turns out to be a man you're a rapist.
63. Paddling the school canoe? You're a rapist.

Threadbomb again? You guys are all vapid cunts. Every. Single. One.

I'm going back to /sp/. I hope you're pleased with yourself.

>42. If she’s a prostitute and she says “No” then you’re a rapist.
classifies as shoplifting in some countries ( = very mild punishment)

...why don't you just make multiple quest threads?

If he starts in one, immediately create another.

>>8408092
So, is this thing potential armor or should we leave it here and we'd teleport to it if we died?

So .. we should grab the gizmo?

>>8408092
Huh, well that was nice of her, rigging that up for us and all. I wonder how she did it? Personally or does she have a few construction warriors like the ones we faced at the phase drive? Ah well, whatever.

Pull up a map and find the quickest route to deck 3.

>>8408112
I think it's the latter.

>>8408092
Hmm, this could prove useful.
Do you think we should take the jewel for the greater good?

Grab the gizmo

are there any security stations on this floor? those tend to has weapons and other useful things in them

>>8408092
Bro, I've been "following" this if only from seeing all the spam posts keeping it on the front page. High five for not letting a troll spammer win, even if it's in a thread I have no interest in myself.

64. If a man loves a woman, and a woman loves a man, and they both decide to have a child together you're a rapist.
64. If you listen to Grunge you're, not a rapist, surprisingly.
64.5. If you noticed there were two #64 you're a rapist.
65. If you laughed when Will Smith punched the alien in Independence Day you're a rapist.
66. You get in one little fight and your momma got scared you're a rapist.
67. If you get raped but you're not a woman, you're a rapist.
68. If you're a Jew you're a rapist.

>>8408092
Oh geez, don't touch that.

And wear Drone like a helmet.

>>8408132
NO.

Heading to that den of fail, furfaggotry, and circlejerking is the last thing any quest with even the slightest semblance of self-respect would do.

>>8408151
thanks for supporting!
>>8408092
take the remains of the necron and salvage it, suck up any necrodermis we may need in the future, and take the jewel in case of future need.

>>8408171
But I like grunge

YOU ARE MY HERO OP!

>>8408151
Honestly from where I'm sitting the only problem with the troll is the threads autosage quicker, but that just leads to 3 threads for one quest and pushes more of anything he might like off page 10

>>8408187
>And wear Drone like a helmet.

Angry Viking Quest OP, you there? Or any drawfriend, for that matter? Can we get a picture of this?

So wait, does it teleport to this room, or does it merely teleport to wherever the jewel is?

>>8408201
is that Sally Forth?

>>8408211
About two and a half years, so not an oldfag but not quite new. Nor am I blind.

But have you ever BEEN to tgchan? The place makes FUCKING /B/ look like a decent place.

>>8408236
Who?

>>8408264
character from a comic strip

He asks where Balducci is. The adviser says: "Up at the seminary … where the cardinal lives." Ehiem replies: "He could get there within half an hour … the time it takes to catch a taxi and get there."

>>8408258
Lolok then.

Looking at TGC right now and I don't see how it's any worse than this place.

>>8407630

Try to acces to any terminal, or security system of the ship to know what's going on. I would also suggest find a weapon or ask for a weapon to the Lady.

Oh yes, try to figure where it is the communications room.

Grab gizmo and go

So do we take the damn thing or not?

Ask drone to clarify earlier statements on the function of the jewel

>>8408092

take plate, get armor?

Hey Shas when you make a new thread can you post a link in here?

>>8408300
This

>>8408296
That would appear to be the case tonight with the spammers, but you're not looking very hard then.

>>8408304
Oh Canada

You approach the pedestal, really more a twining helix of power conduits and girders, and examine the medallion. It's longer than it looks, extending into a socket several inches deep at the receptacle's apex - obviously, it's not meant to be worn as an accessory. With a clatter of mandibles, Drone helpfully overlays vital specifications of the device over your field of vision, allowing you to perceive the artifact as if it were floating before you.

You feel a suspicion that this may be another test - do you take the module and condemn yourself to further loss of your tau identity, or do you leave it and carry on without the significant power and advantage it represents?

Power!

>>8408344
Leave it,

>>8408314
Well seeing as how it's connected to the rest of the ship by large cables, I think taking it would be a bad idea.

>>8408344

Take the device in a box or a pocket but don't use it until we know what it is.

>>8408344
Necron tech is BAD JUJU Man, leave it.

>>8408344
Leave it.

>>8408362
I don't understand this thread, but I'm now masturbating.

We ARE Necrontech, guys. Get with the program!

>>8408344

What does it do? But, I'm going to say leave it.

>>8408408
we are mostly necron tech now so does it realy matter?

>>8408396
And you are a vapid cunt.

>>8408433
Only our heart, spinal cord, and muscles/nervous system. That's only, like, 45-50%!

I say take it, we're heading in that direction already

>>8408433
We're about 75% organic, 25% necron tech by my estimate

go tau quest go! beat back the haters!

>>8408221
DELIVERED!

Leave glowy artifact of doom
Right now we need a proper weapon more than anything else

>>8408344
Leave it.

>>8408524

>>8408344
leave it, its obviously important if its connected to all those large cables and probably not worth risking more necronizaiton at this point, still that husk of a necron sitting in the corner over there could serve us with its resources. Salvage it then head out looking for a terminal or a way to find the quickest and safest path to our goal

Your hand hovers over the device, but in the end you decide against taking it. You're in no mood for the Lady's games - besides, Drone is glad to inform you that if you really wanted a power core, you could manufacture your own fairly easily!

You move with purpose, departing the store room and travelling through the deserted data stacks towards the familiar lift shaft when suddenly something strikes you as deeply wrong. You stop, falling completely silent - even your heartbeat stills, modulated by the structure of your phylactery, as does the whisper of your breath.

Roll 1d100.

>>8408524
Thanks man. Now we just have to avoid getting hit in the head. Don't want Bob to get hurt...

>>8408692
dice+1d100

In the email field. No caps.

Holy shit. After reading those articles about porn, I got righteous. Followed by the permanent deletion of my entire porn folder. Vidya, pics--it's gone.

So hater, maybe you didn't have the effect on the quest you wanted, but you can laugh your ass off at what you actually accomplished.

rolled 17 = 17

>>8408714
thanks

hopefully this will work

>>8408761
great it works, and i rolled dam well good...........dam now i wanna roll

>>8408588
The attack comes from an unexpected quarter, knocking you flat on your face with the force of a mass driver! You roll with the momentum, flipping up and over onto your hooves, turned to face your assailant - but there's no sign of your attacker, as if it vanished into thin air!

A whisper of breeze brushes past you. Roll 1d100.

Got to say I'm enjoying reading through this quest, despite the attempts of some shithead spammer to ruin it. I don't recommend starting new threads every time he shows up though, cause then you'll be spamming like him.

Don't take the necron tech, that will just make things worse in the long run.

>>8408753
Fuck yeah, Dead Winter!

Shut up sickfuck babyfuck furry pervert.

>>8408851

And thus a new thread is started.

BFD.

Necromorph tau incorporating a stealth suit?

>>8408824
You turn and sidestep, allowing the vaporous form of your attacker to phase past. It disappears in a billow of green mist, passing right through the server stack as if it were utterly insubstantial.

Declare an action and roll 1d100.

if i try to make a game out of my fetish, maybe it'll be accepted!

>>8408898

...ewww. Nightmare mode.

Have drone scan for possible identifing signals-
Heat, radiowaves, sonar, whatever

maybe we can upgrade our eyes to see it?

Just what the board needs..

I suggest we go back and fuck the lady.

Well what do you know, emailing moot and asking him to ban people works. Thanks again moot!

>>8408932
Necrons and Tau don't have servers.

>>8409020
I know I did too, maybe it just takes enough people.

I still think we should grab the dingus.

Run?

>>8409020
Who'd moot ban?

>>8409042
>>8409020
And now the sagefags are trying porn derails. You get rid of one troll you get another

wariths and necrons do not work that way.

>>8409051

Eh, it's just one guy, and he's far less annoying than the other guy.

>>8407630
>What do?

please, don't ever say that again, it makes you look like a complete idiot

what does she look like?

>>8409065
We don't need any mods, we have Moot himself. He's pretty cool guy, bans spammers and doesn't afraid of anything.

>>8408982
This one.

Then, when it attacks go fist Of the north star

It's me or some of the spam-troll posts has been deleted?

>>8409101
moot is a mod you moron

I think we should increase our speed and parry, two very useful thing to have when one has little to no armor.

And you all realize that by the time they reset their router it will all be back..

Meanwhile, suggesting anything simple like just going to fucking /quest/ gets ignored because a few of you are insanely butthurt over nothing.

>>8409118
moot is an ADMIN you swine

>>8409010
seconded

>>8409118
Yeah, but, he's also the guy who created the site. I mean, he's better than a mod, he's Moot!

Y'know, I could actually get into this, if it made even the slightest attempt at sticking to established lore.

>>8409133

Because that would just let them win? And, sure. They re-set. And get banned again.

>>8409133
Really? Because he's been gone for a good 10-15 minutes, and it only takes me 30 seconds to reset the router. Not that I do it to evade bans! I've never even been banned, but sometimes the internet goes wonky and I have to reset it to get it working again dear god please don't ban me!

Anyway, I think this worked. Seriously, who takes 10 minutes to reset a router?

>>8409183
>someones deviating from the beautiful scripture that is 40k? blasphemy, i will have no part in ruining this Shakespearean writing

>>8409020
I wish you would've asked him to clean up the rest of /tg/ instead of him being just your personal army. one spammer gone is fine and dandy, but take a look at all the off topic bullshit currently on the board that's far more pressing

>>8409192
reported for ban evasion.

Yahddah, etc.

Are we running yet?

>>8409183
I know, isn't artistic license just a bitch? Look at him, having the Wraith disappear into a cloud of green smoke! How dare it not do so seamlessly and without a sound!

>>8409204
there's a difference between deviating from it and throwing it out the window after shitting on it

>>8409207
Then why don't you email him? I'm capable of ignoring threads I don't like, so I have no reason to ask him about it.

>>8409207
whenever i email him i say that /tg/ needs help, not this thread. I think he;s smart enough to intuit where the spammers are though. But hey, perhaps we'll get HARMONY HARMONY OH LOVE like /v/ got!

>>8409192
Could be a MAC card ban. Unless you're crafty with ISPs you're fucked.

Thank you moot

Aww man, all the stuff about the porn industry dissapeared before I was done reading.

>>8408972
You stand fast and ready to strike, but the necron proves too fast for you! It deftly evades your grasp, phasing out of your hands as if you were trying to grapple smoke. Another blow strikes your back, sending you sprawling.

Declare an action and roll 1d100

Why? The thing can phase through walls, running will do nothing. We destroyed a god damned Tomb Spider for Christ's sake, I think we can handle one Wraith!

You roll into a handspring and recover from the unexpected strike, lashing out on instinct at the necron assassin. A clatter of metallic vertebra fills your hand as you pull hard, depriving the wraith of its momentum and hurling it into one of the data towers.

The thread is more or less clean now. Thank you Mods!!!

Awesome! Move in for the kill, but be cautious.

Your aim is true as the incorporeal fiend crashes through a power node, its death-rattle like the screech of rent metal. Lights flicker out across the deck as the surge courses through it, illuminating its rib-like torso with crackling arcs of electricity.

It falls to the ground in a sparking heap, limp and lifeless. You can feel its processes ending abruptly, shutting down one after another in a cascade of operational faults.

>>8409512
Fuck. That 4 is bad news for us. Keep our distance; that thing can easily phase back. We need to keep sharp and be ready for its next attack.

Go slow. Don't want any feedback. Make sure it's really dead. Use drone.

I LOVE U DUDE, finally good rolls

Yah. Let's LOOT IT!

>>8409604
>>8409616
these, both of 'em.

>>8409586

It's a trap. Don't go near it!

How long till we reach bronze-level Necronlord?

>>8409612
This

>>8409647
Probably quite some time. We're not even a full Warrior yet, and from there it'll require even more work and nanites to ascend to that level.

>>8409695
Plus, we just passed up on a perfectly good robot heart. Now we'll never be Iron Man!

send in the drone,
check for life/death?
check surroundings

Take 2 objects for being used as a Shield and a Lance. Order to Drone to activate his active sensors and focus on the beast while we approach to it very slowly...

>>8409730
Eh, who needs it? Eventually, Bob will become a Tomb Stalker.

>>8409730
we can make are own power core

>>8409695
Besides, vas Paus is getting the upgraded this time
We all know the little drone deserves it

Once we have the ocasion we should start to play with Necron+Tau tech to see if we can create new toys.

>>8409756
Yeah, we'll have our own power core! With blackjack. And hookers. In fact, forget the blackjack.

>>8409730
Don't worry about that

>Drone is glad to inform you that if you really wanted a power core, you could manufacture your own fairly easily!

>>8409785
I like the way you think. To speak in game terms, if we can give Pulse Rifles the Gauss weapon quality that lets them damage tanks and shit, we'll have some really nice firepower. The tough part is going to be finding any Tau weapons.

>>8409817
We're an Earth caste, we know how to make Tau weapons and our nanites act on our subconscious desires. So here's what I say the plan is:
1. Get more material
2. Make Gauss Burst Cannon
3. There is no step 3
4. Become Mistress of the Undying Swarm

Drone scampers off your back and alights upon the ruined wraith, transmitting back a stream of vital information from the incapacitated necron. Of course, it's merely disabled - not truly destroyed, at least not until you've had the opportunity to consume its necrodermis.

A thought occurs to you as you kneel over your defeated foe; why? You haven't stopped to consider the implications of your actions, but it seems like every time you consume a foe, you become more like them. Is that something you really want?

A consensus of three or more is required.

>>8409817
I'm sure this ship has some kind of tau weapon, maybe not a lot, but some.

>>8409852
genius

>>8409862
consume

>>8409862
Drink of its vital essence
Consume
CONSUME
DEVOUR ALL
The time of reckoning is at hand
Let the younger races learn their place at the hand of one of their former kin
BECOME ELEVATED

>>8409862

I suggest assimilate our Foe. Reprogram it and make it our allied. Not consume it.

>>8409852
Better idea:

1. Gain control of the ship.
2. Assimilate it with Necron tech.
3. Combine Tau and Necron tech to create a battleship.

Of course, it'll be awhile before we are capable of that, or are in a position to enact it, but I think it could work to our benefit if we're eventually able to do it.

As long as we maintain our mind and out Tau loyalties it matters not.

Otherwise .. hm.

>>8409862
Consume, regretting that there is no right option, we need more power in order to defeat the Lady and return to serving the Greater Good

>>8409862
Can we merely consume the materials needed to create that Gauss Burst Cannon?

>>8409862
Eh, we're strong enough to kill a fucking Tomb Spider. We don't need any more augmentation. Give the nanites to Drone.

>>8409920

THIS

We should use the materials to either upgrade Bob, or make a second drone in our forge or something.

>>8409914
here, changing my vote to
>>8409920

>>8409895
Can we reprogram?
If so, I vote for that.

are any portions of this archived? i missed the last 2 threads.

Any future upgrade should be from now a combination of Tau+Necron tech. I suggest to upgrade our Drone or make a Gauss burst cannon.

>>8409969
Last thread from last night was archived.

I'd say our top priorities are:

1) Fully disable the wraith to make sure it doesn't haunt us later inb4 puns
2) Create a usable and effective weapon (dat Gauss Burst Cannon) from consuming only what's needed from the wraith
3) Give the rest to Drone

>>8409984

at suptg?

>>8410006
I wasn't aware there were any other archiving sites.

>>8409971
If we do consume rather than reprogram, upgrade the drone- he deserves it

>Consume

You draw the wraith's nanites into yourself, the throb of your phylactery quickening as it becomes suffused with their power. A spasm rocks you as the incalculable energy is channeled into creation, forcing you to your hands and knees as the protective carapace between your shoulders splits wide, unfolding into a pair of enormous scarab wings!

You gasp for breath as the churning in your parts subsides, the new additions to your configuration twitching in self-diagnostic. Drone transmits its approval, commenting favorably on your family resemblance.

>>8409971
I hadn't thought of this, Defiantly give drone the cannon so he can be of use in fight aside from "throw drone at face like a javelin" That way we can be fist of the fucking north star and Bob and be are sniper back-up.

>>8410018

well then thanks, anon.

>>8410031
Flight test!

>>8410031
Oh come on! At least let us choose how we upgrade! Yes, there was a consensus on consuming it, but it looked like a possible majority were in favor of upgrading Drone. I mean, if that's just not possible, then tell us so we don't keep asking and getting our hopes up, please.

>>8410031

Ok... We must find a way to make sure that we control these random upgrades.

next lets give drone some disruption fields

>>8410031

Flip Drone a raspberry.

OK - nothing to see here. Move along.

Oh .. um .. weapons?

>>8410031

Well at least we can fly now.

>>8410076
Yeah!
Those upgrades were for drone!

>>8410031

Ask Drone if he can consume to or if there is a way to chose the upgrade.

>>8410031

Quick, someone get the Drawfag in here! we need a pick of Winged Xeno!

>>8410031

Compare our previous upgrades and find pattern to see if we can control it somehow or even stop it.

do we have any necrodermis left? if so upgrade drone.

>>8410129
here ya go

>>8410139
This

>>8410152
I hate this drawing and I drew it.

Drone quickly returns to you, insinuating itself beneath your wings in the safety of your drone foundry. Unbidden, the mechanisms of your internal constructor begin to disassemble your faithful scarab!

Roll 1d100.

rolled 10 = 10

next lets give drone some disruption fields>>8410171

>>8410152
Holy shit that was quick!

Fukken saved!

How many times do I have to say it?

NECRON TECH IS BAD JUJU

THANK YOU!

>>8410031

FUCK YES

>>8410181
Yes! Yes! The dice aren't fucking with us anymore! I don't care that I've just jinxed it, I'm too happy!

Also some kind of gun
Tau, necron, some hybrid
Anything would be nice at this

Wow that was fast andclose, nice roll man come on drone pls get an awesome nnew gadget for u to use

rolled 28 = 28

>>8410181
New programs force you to remain still as the foundry does its work, dextrous armatures rebuilding Drone from the ground up. You feel a greater degree of awareness this time, perceiving the actions of your fabricators as if you were building something with your own hands. A million designs race through your head and you select elements from each that best suit your needs, crafting a companion that is uniquely yours.

Drone, you are beginning to realize, isn't just the scarab. It's the extension of yourself that it represents, a composite of your best and most basic characteristics. What began its existence as a simple technical drone is now so much more, a reflection of yourself in every way.

It chirps happily as you finish your work, wriggling free from beneath your wings as its reborn for the second time.

>>8410280
I hope it's a gun!

>>8410306
Drone is love.

>>8410306

>>8410306
explain new stats for us, please.

Heh. Whoops.

More Drone cuddle.

Let's try not to do that again without consulting Drone first.

>>8410306

Excellent now check the new systems of drone and you and try to find ways to control all the upgrade process at will with more efficiency from now.

rolled 7 = 7

>>8410306
What does Drone look like now?

I bet he's half Tau tech designed now.

Hey, does anyone know if we're autosaging?

That was really rather sudden.

Let's avoid any further upgrades for now, at least until we are sure of who we are.

Meanwhile - MISSION!

The scarab leaps into the air, looping widely as it flexes its antigravitic wings. It hovers in the air before you, flexing its wings and mandibles and curling its abdomen below its body - a pronged barb protruding from the end. The tip glows a baleful green as Drone surges with power, lighting up like a firefly! The test cycle complete, your scarab's new gauss stinger powers down.

>>8410430
SWEET!

Appears to be autosaging.

Maybe new thread although running under the radar for a while may also be a good idea for tonight.

>>8410430
WE COMMAND BEES WITH GAUSS STINGERS!
FUCK YEAH!

>>8410430
hmm does a gauss stinger shoot? or does it have to actually sting the enemy?

>>8410430
Awesome! Now, onwards to deck 3. Are we taking the lift, the stair or the vents?

>>8410479
we take... TO THE SKIES!

Drone settles into your arms, happy for your attention but also somewhat concerned for your lack of control over your burgeoning abilities. It suggests that your reluctance to embrace your identity as a necron may be preventing you from controlling the process of becoming one.

Perhaps if you were more accepting of your role, you could ascend more gracefully? Drone apologetically admits that it doesn't have access to much information on the process of ascension - generally speaking, they aren't making new royalty.

although drone was weapon we still need one

>>8410479
Hooray for drone
Check datastacks for usefull information while we're here

So if we admit we're a Necron and become the true Mistress of the Undying Swarm, we'll be able to pick upgrades?

>>8410525
Ask him if there's any way we could directly transfer any acquired nanites to him, allowing him to grow in power.

>>8410525

We are not going to become a simple old Necron. We aim for something more, something NEW.

>>8410525

Very useful information.

OK - we're done upgrading. Our goal is NOT to become a Necron.

Drone's little slip is telling. Now we know what fate they have in store for us.

File that away and get on with the mission.

>>8410587
You make it sound like Drone is out to get us. We've already reprogrammed him! He's loyal to Xeno, not the Lady.

>>8410525
So, if we accept that we are both Tau and Necron rather than Tau with upgrades, we'll be able to control our abilities better?

>>8410525
so our own schizophrenia about becoming Necron is causing us to not be able to control becoming Necron?

>>8410525
echoing
>>8409914
accept that we must become Necron to continue serving the Tau'va and vow that we will not lose ourselves to the transformation, but will control it

we are the nercoTau

>>8410535
This

>>8410615

Drone's not out to get us. That was very useful to know that's all.

We are Tau. We remain Tau.

But not for much longer. We need to get outta here.

>>8410587
That kind of thinking is what's causing the random upgrades. We need to accept that WE ARE NOW NECRON. This cannot be undone and the sooner we embrace it the more powerful we'll be for it and the more control we'll have over it.

While we aren't just an earth caste ewngimeer any more, we aren't necron either
We're something new- different

We shall continue the process but under a new direction. From now our final goal will not be to become a simple Necron. We shall evolve to something else that transcend both the Necron and the Tau. A new beginning...yes.

Drone admits that its analysis is imperfect, but it's somewhat more prone to flights of fancy since merging with you. There are certain psychological barriers that must be overcome in order for you to realize your potential, and if you expect to successfully challenge the Lady of Infinite Abyss - Drone is a part of you, remember, so there can be no secrets between you - you will need to ascend to lordhood.

Given your current rate of conversion, you will become more than a match for the Lady before the Su'T'ji can reach its tomb via conventional drive. There's still the matter of the Dusk, of course, but there is a reasonable margin of victory provided that you are able to achieve bronze level peerage.

>>8410633
Taucron

>>8410697
>>8410631
Where ever this path may take us, we must remember that for which we fight.
FOR THE GREATER GOOD!

"WAAAAHH! I DUN WANNA BE A NECRON!"

I am warning you, this will not end well.

Ok, let's move on.

Mission.

>>8410721
Huh. Y'know, I was against taking and necro tech, but if we've taken even a little we might as well go all the way. We still probably shouldn't accept anything from the Lady, since it could be sabotaged, but since it seems like we're able to stay "us", I see no reason to not go for it.

It ends with Xeno becoming the most adorable Necron Lord ever.

>>8410774
We will become Taucron, for the greater good.

I SEE NO DOWN SIDE TO THIS AT ALL

OK. Wait up one. Let's test this.

We try to remember something funny. Something that always made us laugh.

How do we feel?

Will Xeno convert other Tau into her undead warriors? Or does the Mistress of the Undying Swarm need only her adoring constructs?

>>8410800
I just got a mental image of Xeno's tomb being opened by a bunch of Tau researchers looking for Necron weapons, with her huddled in a corner saying "Please don't take these items."

Noh-Xeno is d'awwww.

>>8410800
That's right, Mistress of the Undying Swarms
Cutest Lord Ever

>>8410811
We are taucron, true
But remember- even benign necron tech can EAT YOUR SOUL

>>8410845
We have no memory. Amnesia, remember?

>>8410845
Amnesia bro

>>8410697
I can picture it now:
Guardsmen confused about why more than half of the cloud of gun drones descending on them look more like metal bees. The swarm parts slightly, revealing a humanoid figure's advance. As they ineffectually start firing at the target, a raspy but feminine voice intones:
"Whether in life or in death you SHALL serve the Greater Good. Your only choice is whether you leave here with them...or with me."
When Tau transports appear through the swarm most of the Guardsmen throw down their lasguns and run toward them...while trying to ignore the screams of those who remained loyal.

Xeno was an Earth Caste engineer, right? And now she's basically a Scarab factory. Is anybody else seeing the creation angle going on? I bet that she winds up creating all sorts of unbelievable wonders on her tomb world of choice.

>>8410823
Remember guys, we still should keep cyber splicing to a minimum.
It's unpredictable and dangerous

(also I want xeno to still have Blue skin at theebd of this)

So how do we determine if we are in control of ourself or we are just becoming an abomination?

Scientist, I am loving all the drawfagging you're doing.

It's better than the quest itself for me.

>>8410919
she's also female, creating new swarm life.

>>8410932
Because we're still in control of ourselves, duh. "How can you tell if you're you?" "Because I am."

We should try to fin a way to integrate Tau technology along Necron tech. With time, we will be able to transcend both tech path in a new era for the Tau Empire!

>>8410919
Where the necrons destroy, we shall protect and nurture....

Ah, we're getting ahead of ourselves.
Check room for data

>>8410850
I could see her converting recaptured Farsight Enclave Tau.

Fine. I've had my say. I see where the votes lead.

We're doomed.

OK - back on track.

Mission.

We're turn into the freaking Taucron messiah!

yeah we're getting ahead of ourselves here, 3rding examining the data

>>8410961
"I am, therefore I am?"

>>8410845
>>8410890
Drone notices your struggle to remember the details of your former life, obscured as it is by the haze of amnesia that's hung over you since your awakening in the stasis vault. It chirps plaintively, nuzzling you in a supportive gesture. While not the emotional response you were hoping for, you feel a warm sense of affection for the drone. A smile tugs at the corners of your mouth and you realize that you're still you, regardless of how you may have changed.

>>8411007
>We're doomed.

Quiet Threepio.

>>8411039
My logic is infallible, no?

>>8411043
And there you have it. Now, let's get to deck 3. We have a... thing to acquire. Christ, did she even tell us what we're supposed to look for?

>>8411043
Awesome, now about that data?

>>8411007
Don't worry- this isn't going to turn into vampire bride quest

HEAVEN OR HELL

LET'S DO THIS!

All we've proven is that we love an image of ourself.

Dangerous.

Dawwww! Ok, now let's back to work, try to find some terminal near to comunicatte with the ships systems.

>>8411119
So we're a perfectly normal woman?

Drone, you always know how to make me feel better.

Which would make sense, considering you are me- to a certain degree, of course

cest le vie, women love their children.

are there any security stations on this floor? those tend to has weapons and other useful things in them

Onward to Deck 3!

You glance about the data center. The Lady's presence seems to be absent, withdrawn from this place as if it were only transient, but a faint aura of its passing can still be perceived. You're taken aback by your recognition of it, wondering for a moment if your eyes have been replaced by the clicking, whirring optics of the necrons.

You follow the trail of data as Drone buzzes along overhead, covering the approaches with its new weapon. Your own hands ache to wield one, but you suspect that dwelling too heavily on the subject might inspire your nanites to rebuild them to suit the desire. You may be coming to terms with your metamorphosis, but you haven't quite decided to embrace it just yet.

The datatrail seems to lead to a central processing unit tying all the subprocessors together. The Lady was here, you can feel it.

rolled 17 = 17

search decks 4 and 5 for weapons them go to deck 3

Hmmm, interesting.

Investigate further

rolled 15 = 15

seconded

>>8411227

Examine the place, try to find clues and something useful to us or something suspicous. Then access to the computer.

we should probably make a new thread soon.

You press your hands to the data stack, feeling the ebb and flow of information within. It's almost as if you're being drawn in...

Drone clatters a warning; the dataspace is the Lady's domain and you aren't ready to face it there. Few lords are, and fewer still stand a chance of besting it.

rolled 1 = 1

Are we done for the night Shas? or are we still going?
