Alice has, if anything, seemed a little annoyed lately. Her tone is more terse and she tries to spend more time out on patrol- when she sits to recharge inside, it is on the far side of the bench as far as she can get from the two of you.

The symbiote’s been pretty docile- you think it watches you, but it seems a little more subdued. Thoughtful, even. You aren’t sure if that’s a goof thing, though.

Tonight you plan to

>>28668717
Wait, do you mean tell more stories to Alice or Stella? Did I miss the part where we told stories to Alice?

>>28668717
>[ ] Tinker with Future tech

>>28668717
>>[ ] Tell more stories to Alice
Have we been telling stories to Alice, or is this supposed to be Stella? We should talk with Alice more.

>>28668717
>[X] Tell more stories to Stella
>[X] Tinker with Future tech
>[X] Try to interact with the Symbiote
I'm assuming more than one because the night is long and full of terrors.

>[X] Tell more stories to Alice
>[X] Tinker with Future tech

Do both. Seriously, .Alice needs someone to be an friend, not an commanding officer.

>>28668717
>[ ] Tinker with Future tech
>[ ] Read one of the books you got
If we procured any manuals and technical books, we'd have an easier time tinkering with future gadgets.

>>28668717
>[ ] Tinker with Future tech
>[ ] Tell more stories to Stella

My guess would be that was ment as Stella not Alice. At any rate. I can't see why we can't do both.

>>28668717
>>interact with the symbiote.
Old girl is lonely.

Also cos, did you read the new superior yet? Flash talks to the symbiote like its a pet/friend, everyone is on stupid pills, it breaks out of a containment unit after Spock grabs it and then jumps his ass.
Also flash has robot legs.

Alice is off doing watch duty

>>28668717

Damn extreme anti-piracy measures. We really are in a dystopian future.

>>28669645
Such as us giving up after we realized that we didn't understand ANY of the technology we have, and not even bothering fiddling around with it?

Like I bet that's what we'd do if we got a 2, but since it was a 1, I guess in a burst of stupidity we thought we knew what we were doing and ruined everything.

>>28669674
One of the reasons I think crit failing or critical successes make the story inconsistent. Being able to stealth through everything perfectly three quests in a row and but failing to do anything minor sneakily is weird.

>>28669711
Eh, I'm fine with momentary slip ups, like when sneaking around it's possible to fumble for a variety of reasons.

It's just that in this case for a true critical failure, it's not that we lost concentration, or didn't notice a broken branch on the ground or whatever, it's that we got bitten by the retard virus into thinking we knew more than we actually did.

>>28669754
Also, if we know nothing about computer hardware beyond some anti-hacking tips we learned about online why is tinkering even an option?

>>28669754
My example was shit anyway, it's easily possible to not notice things in the dark at a place you've never been to before.

I think we should still come up with some engineering ideas, if not programming ones.

Just got here. We at PL 3, 4 or 6 after that fiasco?

Yes I checked the sheet, we do not still have 3 SP at our disposal.

>>28669817
No. No more engineering. I no longer trust it. Clearly this is the Spider Totem's way of telling us to abandon science and instead embrace our mystical nature.

Holy crap, three 1s in a row.

>>28669836
All those rolls were for programming. We didn't make any engineering rolls.

You take one of the three laptops. There’s some power, so they’ll work. For a short period of time ,anyway. Still, better to work on something and get an understanding of future technology. You’ve read the manual for one of them and you should see how much programming and technology have advanced in twenty years. Powering up one of them, you look it over, but the interfaces are touch based and it wants you to register the computer. But you have no internet and probably couldn‘t do that anyway. Powering it down, you pull out the case of tiny screwdrivers and get to opening the case. Well, might as well see how the guts of these things have advanced, you’ve got three of them, too.

Besides, you’re skilled with engineering, so what’s the worst that can happen?

An hour and a half later, you push the ruins of the last laptop into the bag and push it away from you before wrapping a blanket around yourself. Stella carefully puts her handheld far away from you, scooting the videogames away with one foot.

Everything is ruined. Forever.

You feel something patting you on your head. Glancing over you see Stella giving you a smile. “Well, just remember that failure is just the first step towards success, Peter! You‘ve just made a bunch of first steps, so you‘re… a lot closer to success now.”

You glance at her and try to give her a weak grin. “…thanks, Stella.”

You sit trying to ignore the monument to your failure as you try to tell Stella another story. She listens intently as you tell her about the time you and Uncle Ben lost Aunt May at the Zoo, The time you and Uncle Ben built the model boat that won an award, and the time Uncle Ben tried to cook.

Stella wipes a tear from his eye. “I don’t believe you. Nobody could make cornflakes burn.”

You raise a hand. “Scout’s honor. Aunt May and I were mystified, too. It was the last and only time he was allowed to cook.”

The door our back opens as Alice walk in, pauses and then goes to sit down.

“I could tell you about my neighbor Mary Jane as a kid- she was kinda a nightmare that haunted me for a while.”

“Oh, tell me, tell me!”

“Well…”

You tell her of several of the funnier times you were bullied, but you make sure to avoid the spaghetti incident. You pause as you see Alice cross her arms, but she doesn’t do anything more as you continue your stories. Eventually you find yourself rather tired and call it a night.

When next you wake, it’s early in the day. The Doktor shakes you awake. Her skin, artificial as it is, looks waxy and she seems exhausted. “Get up. Zere is business zat needs zo be done.”

“..hmm, wha is it?”

“Ve are destroying ze symbiote.”

In the glass tank you see the symbiote try to hide.

Eh, I'm iffy on keeping the Symbiote. I'd rather set Eddie Brock on the long and convoluted path towards becoming Anti-Venom, and then have Flash become Agent Venom once more.

That way we get two hax allies instead of making ourselves slightly more hax.

>>28670035
I'm thinking more that it will give us information on Venom. Whether that leads to us actually acquiring the symbiote in our time or just lets us further the "investigating our parents' deaths" subplot is the question. Either way, I figure it can't hurt.

>>28670065
Between then and there though, we have to fight badguy Venom. Alot.

But the fact that we will be going back will probably prevent Flash from having the same experiences as Agent Venom and therefore might not be as suited towards it.

Don't we have that suit that is strong against sonic attacks? Couldn't we theoretically have Venom reside between that suit and our skin?

>>28670132
Which raises the question: If we do get the symbiote, do we go through the effort of building countermeasures for its weaknesses despite the risk of it getting out of control without those limitations? The symbiote can integrate foreign material into itself, and we have anti-sonic damping cloth. It might be possible to impart that trait to it. Likewise with heat-resistant materials. But then we'd have the danger of the symbiote being impossible to combat if it ever turns against us.

>>28670163
A definite possibility

>>28670182
I just really don't want the symbiote.

>>28670182
Won't it know how to make the stuff if it gets into our memories?

>>28670182
I'd rather have a possible problem for the future than get killed because we wouldn't risk it.

>>28670163
I'd work better with a power suit (imagine what the venom mobile equivalent would be using power armor as a base), but as long as it cold do a decent job venting heat from the suit and maybe helping us read lips since we're deaf in the thing I'd say it'd be a giant improvement and a success. Not that it matters, at this rate Petey's going to die long before the unlock becomes relevant.

>>28670207
Thats fine but it doesn't mean we have to kill it. It's still a living thing

>>28670182
Uhh, the sym,biote LOVES peter there are numerous times when it ditches the current host just for a chance to rejoin with peter.

>>28670226
Why does it love peter though?
Other than bitches love spiderman

>>28670226
Oh, I know. I meant more "If we make it immune to sonic attacks, how are we going to force it off of us if it ever starts to assimilate Peter?" You're right, the symbiote is clingy. We'd want a forced removal mechanism, just in case things get out of hand.

>>28670225
I'd agree, but at this particular stage in its life with everything it has gone through, people with experience with it seem pretty confident it's pure evil.

>>28670259
>forced removal mechanism, just in case things get out of hand
Which it would know about.We'd have to create it after it's off us.

>>28670261
So far only the Dok talked about it, and she doesn't have first hand experience. Probably only hearsay, since Flash operated on his own or with Hobby before he turned traitor.

>SP SPENT- Foreshadowing

You snap awake as you force your mind to coherence. “Wait,what now?”

The Doktor crosses her arms. “Ve are destroying ze symbiote. It is dangerous to have around, und zere is no vay you are using it. Zis vas ze plan if Agent Venom was ever terminated.”

You scowl and look away. “I’ll do it. I was the one who saved it, so I might as well do it. I want a little time though, alright?”

Stella tugs on your sleeve, looking confused and upset.. “What? We’re destroying it? Why?! It hasn’t done anything wrong.”

You grimace and look away. “Just give me an hour, Dok. Then I’ll do it.”

She crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow before letting out a sigh. “Fine. Vone hour, zen it burns.”

Stella looks at you confused and hurt as you hand her the gaming consoel you gave to her. “Just… play some games, Stella. I need to be alone for a while.”

Picking up some of your things, you go and sit away from the truck for a while, your back to it.

-----

Stella doesn’t look at you as you get back inside. The space that has the Symbiote’s tank is now unoccupied, leaving the area emptier, more lifeless. You sit down and let out a sigh.

Great.

It’s still day for a while, so you might as well do some lookout duty- moments later, you’re on top of the truck, halfheartedly looking for any possible trouble.

DOOM’s fortress can’t come soon enough.

It's obviously something that will we will return to later when it's relevant.

>>28670247
Think about it this way: The symbiote is, by the standards of its own species, a disgusting deviant. It doesn't just want to consume its hosts and move on to the next, it wants to make a meaningful connection. But that's anathema to the other symbiotes, so it was cast out. For hundreds of years it was all alone. Occasionally it would be found and retrieved for study, but in its weakened state it never managed to fuse with a host. And then Peter comes along, and plunges his arm right into it and welcomes it to merge with him. He doesn't really know that's what he's doing, he doesn't realize that the symbiote is alive, but he still chose to let it into his life. And he was grateful for it, he truly appreciated and enjoyed the presence of the symbiote. Finally, the symbiote had what it always wanted. They had so much fun together. And then the poor thing had to go and screw things up, freaking him out by fighting crime for him while he was sleeping. It was just trying to help, it didn't think it would scare Peter so much. But he got so scared that he tried to cut it out of his life completely, not even listening to its attempts to reconcile. The symbiote tried to distract itself with new hosts, hoping maybe it could make Peter jealous and want it back, but it never worked out. There was just too much bitterness. But underneath it all, it still wants to get back together with him.

TL,DR: There's a reason we've been joking about symbiote waifu. It's pretty much explicitly the case.

Thanks twitter phone app for not alerting me of this quest. Now it's almost 3AM and I am dead tired.
Fuck it. It's been a while since I fell asleep at my desk anyway.

>>28670350
>>28670357
>Wait and see.

>>28670296
Oh fuck, we just taught little Lokette that killing innocent creatures and being a hypocrite for the sake of convenience is A-OK! This will come back to haunt us, mark my words!

>>28670386
We can quietly let her in on what happened or something

>>28670386
OR we lied to the Doc, let it go and just said we killed it.

>>28670386
...but did we?

>>28670386
>>28670405

>>28670373

>>28670405
I hope this. I dislike the Doc and Alice.

>>28670420
I like Alice.

>Bonds with a second being
>Integrates into their life
>Works with them as a partner
>Seen as a weapon

>>28670426
She has no personality and can't fight the one thing we need her to fight.

>>28670405
I hope we did this. It seems unfair we didn't even get a choice to try & do this

>>28670420
>doing something someone won't like because you don't like them
>not doing it because we have a respect for life

>>28670431
>"needed" to be killed
Oh fuck me.

If we did sneak bond with the symboite won't that horribly backfire when go back to the past?
Don't get me wrong I hope we saved it but still

Just caught up... oh man that Bleach Quest 1 luck for figuring out that future computer.

>>28670431
We can salvage this. Remember, Peter has no idea the symbiote is intelligent.It made funny faces at him a few times, but that's just basic mimesis. So let's just explain to Stella the qualitative difference between putting an animal to sleep and killing a person. Stella has hopes, and dreams, and a personality. Extinguishing those for the sake of convenience is wrong. But the symbiote? It's just a sophisticated slime mold. Destroying it is no more wrong than cutting down a tree. There's a difference between a living thing that's treated as a tool and a tool that's treated as a living thing.

>>28670482
I'd been thinking about that a lot last thread and I'm about 60% sure that we can take the symbiotic back with us as long as its changed enough physiologically from our time's version. It's kind of QM fiat though, I'm not entirely sure how he's working with magitech based time travel, so it might be some metaphysical incompatibility that we're worrying about or something...

>>28670516
I don't buy that for a minute. Its just a lie to make yourself feel better for making a hard choice

>>28670516
>Peter has no idea the symbiote is intelligent

We don't need Stella to rationalize killing things in multiple ways. Besides, I doubt we actually killed it and we can tell Stella that when we're alone or something

>>28670531
Pretty sure that's exactly right, because anything we take back into the past would be made of atoms that exist in the present, wouldn't it?

>>28670516
Let's not trivialize what we did. Explain the necessity and the rationale behind it, but don't hide behind the whole "inferior life form" angle. She's a fucking corporeal god, we don't need to get her thinking about stomping humans like they were ants.

>>28670537
Oh, sorry, I guess that came off more sincere than I meant. No, I meant that's what we should tell Stella. You lie to children to keep them from having to learn harsh truths, that's all I'm getting at. Peter, of course, feels shitty for doing it and shouldn't try to rationalize it.

>>28670567
We don't even know what we did. How do we rationalize it?

>>28670573
>lie to the daughter-clone of the Liesmith

>>28670573
>Teach a clone of the God of Lies to Lie to cover up things she does.
>Lying to a clone of the God of Lies.

>>28670582
Why are you dead set on rationalizing something that might not have even happened? You think she won't notice we're lying?

>>28670592
>>28670594
...yeah, okay, those are actually pretty good points. Guess I wasn't thinking it through properly. Consider my argument rescinded.

Why don't we take the smart guys advice, and not fuck around with things we don't know about.

>>28670560
Yeah, that and we eventually rebuild our entire body (exchange all our atoms with those in our environment) every, what is it, seven years or so? So since we can take objects not present (in the same atomic/molecular configuration) in the past back with us it must mean that the paradox induced boom thing isn't really physically dependent. That's as far as I got with it anyway, I'm sure someone smarter on the board can explain things beyond "comic book logic, bro."

>>28670617
>and not fuck around with things we don't know about
>I'm a retarded scientist who can't understand the symbiote so why not kill it?
Roger that. Kill anything that we can't comprehend.

How far are we from Doom?

>>28670636
Akashic Records bro.

>>28670573
Dude, she's 12ish. That's when you start breaking the hard truths to them so they know how to handle them as an adult.

>>28670643

>>28670664
Just wait until we find more and notice that the DC got higher

>>28670643
Yeah, let's let it take over our body instead, Not like flash was having trouble with it either right. What could possibly go wrong

>>28670678
Eventually we will get to the point we have to roll a 20 just to turn it on

>>28670689
I see a future filled with Friendship Rolls!

>>28670693
And those would be the ones we built with our Engineering skills. Any new computers would have a DC of at least 24 to turn on.

>>28670703
I see bullshit problems that can be avoided.

>>28670693
After that, it'll be opposed rolls boosted by PL.

>>28670689
Just against carnage, which is pretty reasonable, since i can imagine the symbiote seeing the red suit as a monstrous perversion of itself

>>28670722
Flash had to take drugs to keep control over his body.

You sit for a while- feeling miserable and generally being in a bad mood. Things haven’t been your day- week whatever the fuck it is. Between the general problems you had back home and the shit you’ve seen, you’re sick of the future. Everything you’ve known is gone, turned upside on its head, or has covered you in its gore. You haven’t slept well for the past few days, barring that one night, and you’ve been hunted by a monster that might’ve been your friend.

Which is now another problem you have to get on when you get back.

Time travel is the worst thing ever. When you get back, you’re destroying the machine and making sure DOOM never builds another.

Eventually, as the day passes you hear something. It sounds like the sound of engines as several mad max style bikers come out of side roads and surround your vehicle. They’ve got guns in their hands and several of the ones on the back have ropes- like they’re trying to board.

As they see you one of them raises a hand- “TUNNEL SNAKES RULE!”

Before they can even fire on you, you’re webbing their guns shut before grabbing them, one by one and webbing them to buildings or telephone poles- it probably hurt a bit, but better than what they’d do. As you continue on, there seems to be no more left as you pick up a radio- one of the several you got.

“There were some raiders, it seems. I webbed them up, they shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Understood, Spider-man.”

The Doktor comes on over the radio before drawing quiet. You’re beginning to dislike her, but so long as she gets you to DOOM, you don’t care anymore. That’s what matters right now.

Just a little longer.

One more night.

>>28670729
Man, that's everyday life for me. I see no problem with it.

As the night approaches, you head back inside as Alice heads roof-side. Stella’s still not talking to you her head stuck in her game, so you pick up yours and do the same. There’s a silence here, a weight that feels suffocating. You glance over to see Stella glancing at you before she pulls her blanket over her head.

You glance down at your game console- almost out of power. You finish what you were doing and take a quick rest, making sure to get up before dawn comes. Heading roofside, you see it- not far away. The dawn hasn’t begun yet, but the sky has lightened up.

On the horizon there’s a large metal fortress that gives off an ominous feeling, but it reminds you of how DOOM styled his gauntlets and mask- lots of rivets and cold edges. Finally. Almost there.

And then, you hear a cry, one last time.

“WWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”

As something shoots past you overhead like a rocket, gaining distance before unfurling itself. With large webbed wings where there should be arms, CARNAGE has taken the lead. Ragged, worn and half-way fallen apart, it must have prioritized chasing you over anything else.

It’s beating you to DOOM’s Fortress now.

The Doktor curses over the radio as Alice struggles to her feet, clutching her head. You hear an aggravated growl coming from her.

>[ ]Let it, The day’s about to break, you’ll catch back up.
>[ ] It should be within my range- Websling, take it down.

This is going to end poorly.

Even if Carnage has seen better days, it'd still be rude to let it reach DOOMland first.
