... hello? is this working?

yes, Zosimos, it is working.

alright... Greetings from Cousin Earth. this is Zosimos Speaking.

this is Larcwyde speaking.

yes, hello? this is Cole speaking.

us three represent what we used to call 'the collecting' now called the 'Tierra Prima Collective'. we are sending this transmission to wherever you are to tell you that we are willing to help to push through against the particulate threat.[/color

not to be confused with ME, because i am not threatening.

... right. Our main drive is to collect as much information about the hostile particulate as we can. so far, we have gathered enough to recreate a version of the particulate-

which you are seeing right now.

... that does not any harm to us. but then, we discovered so much more:

they discovered me!

Affirmative. he is the collective mind of all the 'anti-particulate' related structures we have so far created.

so far we are offering services to exterior colonies (or species of any kind) who are willing to push along against the hostile particulate.

Correct. I am now sending all that needs to be known about us. it goes more in-depth about the things explained right now. you should receive it right... now.

II=Incoming Archive. Titled: About Us.=II

Regarding our Purpose:
Spoiler

Primary purpose, collect and gather as much information about the particulate as possible, and share it with as many colonies out there as possible, to strive, and be victorious against the hostile particulate!
Secondary purpose, DESTROY THOSE HYDRAXILS WHO KILLED OUR CREATO-
{covers Zosimos' mouth} actually, it is to transform our home world into a safe haven for humans and... other species alike (if any) and teach them all there is to know about the particulate (so far) and how they can create their own 'anti-particulate' structures such as: Emitters (obviously), makers (albeit dopples, particuships(particulate controlled ships) or stunners), and shelter for those in dire need, as they will be provided whatever is necessary to sustain them to full health-
BUT! in exchange, they have to help US in any way possible.
...
... what?

Regarding ships:
Spoiler

our original ships:
Spoiler

The Mothership (all evolutions):
Spoiler
ah, the ever so trustworthy Mothership. its first incarnation focusing mainly on ship construction. but as needs grew, so did the Mothership. this couldn't have been done without my great partner Larcwyde, who is the brains behind the ship merging doohickeys.
did i not tell you about using such vulgar terms such as 'doohickeys', Zosimos?
yeah, yeah.

[close]
The Reactor (and its evolution):
Spoiler

these... these are crucial for any 'empty-energy-scarce-space-venture' i reccomend having at least 4 reactors in your inventory. or atleast 3 reactors and 1 ReactorII. whichever you desire.
Zosimos... those 'ReactorII's are actually called 'First Aid'.
yeah, well, they can always decide between these 2.

the Ark:
Spoiler

This is the ship built as a last resort for the remainder of the natives in Cousin Earth after the surprise attack from the particulate and some... weird... alien race called 'The Hydraxils'. this ship is currently being rebuilt and repurposed to fit the needs of the natives, as it is currently their temporary home until Cousin Earth heals from the hostile particulate attack.

about our ship merging services:
Spoiler

uhh... im going to have to pass this on to you Larcwyde.
About our current Ship merging services, there is no exact fee (as our currency is currently unstable due to recent attacks), but get this: we are going to merge your ships, as long as you are willing to cooperate and lend us services.
Failure to cooperate will result in the immediate confiscation of the ship (template). we can, and we will. so be fair!
(Zosimos, calm down. we need to give a good first impression, not the impression of a strict government.)
(oh, give me a break. im still not over Sam's...(sigh)...death.)
(oh shut up. that is not an excuse, so be kind...-er.)

Regarding our Information about Particulate:
Spoiler

Regarding the Particulate:
Spoiler

you all probably know most of the information we know about the particulate so far, but what if i told you that, with a reconfiguration of the Lathes, we can make it so that the emitter doesnt get (completely) destroyed? and then you might be asking: what do we do with these pieces? well... Larcwyde? will you do the honor of-?
of course i will. with those emitter, mirer, maker, (whichever particulate related structure) pieces, you can-
BRING them to us, and we will reconfigure them to be... drum roll... friendly emitters!
...yes. (thanks for the interruption, Sim.)
(no problem.) and that takes us to the next section...
[close]
Regarding the anti-particulate we created:
Spoiler

in General:
Spoiler

it all began with just an emitter, pieced together from, well, pieces, of emitters. we began to know about cole after an... incident. He then infiltrated the Mothership and spoke through Larcwyde's body.
after all the events preceding the invasion, they made me a separate body.
all of the anti-particulate structures are linked, somehow, (reasons unknown to us for now), to a single collective mind which (practically) controls said structures. Said collective mind is Cole, which takes us to the next section.
[close]
About Cole:
Spoiler

Cole is the Collective mind of the anti-Particulate structures created by us. We saw him as a son, and he saw us as his parents (fathers, specifically). His behaviour at first could be considered as childlike and playful, but with time, he learned more and more, his personality shifted more and more mature.
Childlike? hey!
... what? it is true. denying it would be illogical.
H- well... i guess... i mean, yeah...
as i was saying... he can control all of his structures at will. and as such, can also control the ships and dopples he makes at will, which takes us to the next section.
[close]
about the makers:
Spoiler

Dopple makers:
Spoiler

so far, we have a main dopple maker, making one strong dopple, which, one could say it is cole's body:
(https://i.gyazo.com/de45183938ff6f90751552b14bf4cf51.png)
...(cole, what's wrong with the eye?)
(i was just letting it rest, dont worry.)
(https://i.gyazo.com/aed02662ed4bb7b59c048e688d669a6c.png)
(https://i.gyazo.com/3883887ff79bc21ddda05bd5839ac132.png)
Hello! yes this is still me, in my dopple body!
(https://i.gyazo.com/e0d05f65db715de4cffeef918da5e8b3.png)
we also recently discovered that dopples have the capabilities of 'speaking' and 'seeing' through special particulate designed to make such thing possible (as you can see). we are still looking further into this breakthrough.
[close]
Ship Makers:
Spoiler
there might be many things that are to be expected in a ship maker. It launches the command module of a ship that slowly builds itself up, but what if i told you, that there is more to it?  First of all, we made the discovery that ship makers cannot make ships without a template input. Second of all, we discovered that Cole's ship maker can modify the input ship at will, and even receive more than one and merge them. (product ship not in sale, just in case)

The history:
Spoiler

Tierra Prima started out as a colonial planet. The information regarding the colonizers has either been lost or corrupted.

Tierra Prima started out as a peaceful civilization, branching off of a centerpoint which was where the colonizers first arrived.

Tierra Prima habitants saw increasing value in information, and as such, research was heavily incentivised.

Tierra Prima did not focus much on space travel, as they saw not a reason for it.

They did have ships, but they were mainly used as transport between Luna and The planet.

All was good until the first ever particulate invasion.

It did not cause much devastation, but their first reaction was that of slight panic, and made a ship construction rush to eliminate the threat.

The inhabitants saw now a reason as of why to explore outside their boundaries...

They needed to know what this threat is.

Quick system explorations were now focused on. Small fleets were sent out to particulate infested space to collect information about these "emitters".

Time passes...
Research upon ship manipulation begins to be done.

Construction of medium sized ships begins.

Time passes...
A new fleet is made, specialized in particulate collection, led by Commander Alexander. The creation of a ship with a better suited bridge (HQ) for Alex and his crew concludes, and the team sets off.

Some time later...
Astounding advances in ship (template) manipulation have been done, most aided by dr. Samson.

Some time later...
Samson is made head scientist in ship manipulation research.

Samson and Alexander meet.
Alexander just came back to Tierra Prima from a collection mission, giving the remnants of emitters and mirers to the head scientist in particulate research of that time.
that scientist was abducted when the hydraxil invasion happened.
Samson overhears Alex talking about his shenanigans in infested space and joins in.
Samson listens to Alex and soon befriended him.
They both connected quite instantly.

After that, Samson started going along Alex into infested space.
As Alex and the crew planned out how to strike the particulate, Samson experimented with the ships, merging them accordingly.

He used merging as a way to make weak ships stronger. Back then, ships used to be small and for a specific use, as there usually was no need for space travel, but now, it is more than necessary if they wanted to acquire information about this particulate threat.

Samson started to make a habit of going along alex in collection expeditions.

Sometime later...

They discover the particulate's evolutionary tendencies. They discovered so as Samson, Alex and his crew arrive in a system where strange red crystals were growing from emitters. Further investigation determined that this crystal is actually crystallized particulate, they decided to call parcrys (or vaguely named as "struc")
Something else they discovered from this particulate.
The ability to create... plasma. They can create plasma as they move. This plasma does not hurt , but rather slow our ships. Further analysis lead us to be able to fit HQ bearing ships with plasma shield generators, whose plasma is modified to not affect our ships but slow down particulate.

Some time later...
Samson gains an idea.
The creation of AIs that can fill in Alex and Samson's role of going to infested space to collect information about the particulate.
Through an amazing amount of trial and error, Samson finally created stable AI consciousnesses. 2 in fact.
One with the ID of ZO-Sim-OS-114
And another with the ID of L-arc-WYD-114.
The first one, Zosimos, made to be a strategic mind
And the second one, Larcwyde, made ro be a scientific mind.
Their consciousnesses were inserted inside robotic bodies.

The AIs saw Samson more lika a father rather than a creator, and Samson saw them as his sons rather than his creations.

The creation of an HQ bearing vessel for the AIs was on queue. Zosimos helping greatly to the process.

Some time later...

The discovery of templates in short expeditions through infested space baffled some scientists.
"Destroyer"? These have cannons and close range beams.
"Discharger"? What does this do? These do nothing!
"Lathe"? These look a lot like our Construction beam carrying ships
"Joven"? It has a missile launcher and a strange beam that clears out plasma.

All of the newfound templates say they are "licenses" made by "GalCorp"... we assumed they were some civilization's corp from old and carried on with our operations.

Some time later...
Rift space and rift space jumps have been discovered.
The ability to rift jumping has been implemented in HQ bearing ships.
The AIs depart onto their collection mission through infested space, first giving a goodbye hug to Samson and Alex.

Some time later...
The AIs havent yet sent any reports.
Alex is now commander of a defensive fleet to counter invasive particulate.
Samson researches better methods as to merge ships.
Alex keeps visiting Samson often to converse.

It is rumored that Alex could have gotten an attraction towards Samson.
Alex dismissed that rumor as childish and a pathetic way to taint his reputation.

Sometime later...
The AIs finally send back a report.
Samson excitedly reads the report.
Alex joins in.
The report is about how they have successfully collected the particulate in that system, and their discoveries of unidentified templates, not made by anything human.

Some time later...
More reports by the AIs.
The report says that Larc discovered a way to restructure and reprogram remnants of emitters, then piece them together into "friendly particulate".
This anti-particulate report went viral in 2 ways:
1 it is thst everyone saw the report
2 it is that the report somehow gave our ships this strange jagged look. This look did not any harm to the modules, in fact, it accomodates hull based on the modules present in the ship. We assumed this to be some sort of virus, and a virus it was. This virus was used as an opportunity to increase our understanding of ship manipulation.
Sometime later...
Strange particulate related structures began to appear...
3 types, specifically:
For 1, there was a structure that created and launched these weird.... cores that creates a controlled cluster of particulate which regenerates over time if not dealt with.
For 2, these structures that launched some strange orbs that targeted our ships and completely drains and immobilizes the said ships. We then discovered the use of these discharger ships was to destroy these orbs. ...That was a big facepalm moment for many.
And for 3, a structure which created and ejected 1 core of what then becomes a proper ship. Most ships it mimicked were ships we have seen around made by that "galcorp" entity.
We collected as much information about these structures and learned about them.

Some time later...
Another report by the AIs.
It seems the anti-particulate creation of theirs is actually sentient.
The AIs seem to have created anti-replicas of mirers and a "dopple" maker.
Samson's eyes shine with happiness everytime one of these reports come by, and Alex gets happy because Samson gets happy.

Some time later...
A strange breach in rift space appeared.
Everyone thought it was the bots, but then noticed that the breach looked different than when a TP rift jumps.

They notice a fleet of unidentified ships coming out of it.

They attempt to contact the newcomers, but the newcomers start threatening them about how they shall be assimilated.

More attempts of reasoning with them were made, but to no avail.

Out of nowhere, they start tearing buildings appart and abducting the civilians one by one.

In one of the buildings, both Samson and Alex were unaware of what was awaiting them.
_________(Flashback)_____________
heh, and then BAM, the emitter exploded.
heh, no match for Commander Alexander, eh?
yeah, and then whOOA a dopple came outta nowhere and BAM we got em good!
no weird space balls will be match for the one and only Almighty Alex!
heh, yea...
Look... Samson... I have been enjoying this friendship we have been having for a bit.
me too, you are very good company, you know?
yeah... but that is not the case right now...
what do you mean?
...look... i dont know whats gotten into me...
But ever since i... we... connected, I have been having this urge to be with you... you know?
I... well... that is partly the reason i sneaked into your missions sometimes.
heh... look... what... what i want to say is...
..?
I... i think I lo-
{The ceiling rips open. A hydraxil collector abducting the citizens one by one.}
WHAT THE?!
COME WITH ME SAMSON.
{The ship, after abducting everyone else, it locks onto Alex}
WHA- SAMSON, GRAB ME!
{Samson grabs one hand of Alex, while his other hand keeps on holding onto a wall}
SAMSON!
ALEX! DONT LOSE GRIP!
HAH, GOOD ADVICE, DOC!
{the collector stops trying to abduct Alex, and Samson's force while trying to hold on, made himrecoil onto a wall and hurt his arm}
AHH. Mmmy arm..!
STAND UP, WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!
{Samson stands up, bleeding arm held by Alex. The hydraxil collector locks on to Samson and snatches him from Alex}
nnnNNOOO!
SAMSON!
{Alex bolts himself to try and catch Samson, but couldnt catch him.}
SAMSOOON!!
{The collector locks onto Alex}
TAKE ME! TAKE ME WHY DONT YOU! TAKE ME ALREADY YOU BASTARDS!
{The abduction gets interrupted by a TP ship firing at the hydraxil collector. The collector then flees and rift jumps away.}
NOOOOOOO! SAAMSOOON!
{Alex collapses to the ground, then starts shooting at the sky}
TAKE ME INSTEAD! TAKE ME!
{Alex puts his head on the floor and starts violently tearing up}
*sobs* take me instead! Take me... Take me instead..!
{A rescue team arrives to the room where Alex was found crying}
R-021: Alex! Are you ok?!
*sobs* take me... instead... *sobs*
R-102: Alex, stand up! We gotta go to the Capital!
*sobs* take... me... instead...
______________(end of flashback)______________
After these events, Alexander took the wheel and helped rescue the remaining civilians before these aliens return. He then returned to the Capital, somewhat destroyed, and started to queue the construction of stationary defenses all around the Capital.
These aliens come back, although in smaller numbers.
There was no way to defend against them, as the ships were severely damaged from last invasion.
Alex gets the idea of repurposing his HQ, reprogram it to be a survival ship for all of the civilians.
As soon as the hydraxils came in, so did the AIs with their newly upgraded HQ and their anti-particulate creation.

__________(flashback)____________
ARE THE DEFENSES DONE?
Worker 013: Yes sir!
Worker 064: defensive station 004 has been taken over!
HOW DID YOU LET THAT HAPPEN?!
Worker 032: these alien hydraxil things have a sort of controlled particulate that doesnt affect them!
...*sigh*... might as well accept fate-
{Another rift breach appears, this one being of a strange HQ bearing ship and many Emitters. This ship deployed a plasma shield and their emitters start growing a controlled emitter path.}
Worker 042: sir! Another unidentified vessel entered our system!
Oh, yeah, fan-f{lipp}ing-tastic. Please tell me they arent allied to these hydraxil machines things.
Worker 013: no sir! They seem to be attacked by the hydraxil aliens!
Establish communications with them. We need as much help as we can get.
Worker 013: yes sir!
... please tell us that you are here to help.
c- Commander Alexander?!
What a relief!
ZOSIMOS?! LARCWYDE?!
{Alexander begins to tear up. The civilians cheer for the AIs' return}
Finally some good news! Maan, your Mothership is UNRECOGNIZABLE now!
we found a way to be able to merge ships while we were in rift space-
Where is Samson?! Is he ok?!
... Zosim... Larc...
{Alex begins tearing again}
...Samson... he was absucted by those aliens... he sacrificed himself to help me escape...
...Sam... he...
...
{Zosimos begins to shake in anger. His drives were almost overheating.}
Cole... use your dopple and destroy those aliens...
ok!
... Samson...
Sim, per-
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? DEPLOY THE SHIPS! WE MUST SAVE OUR PEOPLE!

WE HAVE MADE A LIFE CHANGING DISCOVERY!!
Scientist 016 made a proposition, about our abundant quantities of anti-particulate...
After the insertion of a progenitor piece in the 4 main anti-emitters, which produced the ability for these emitters to split, we made more experiments after that...
Scientist 016's proposition was as follows: "is there a possibility that anti-particulate could be edible?" And the results were what amazed me...

THEY ARE! 1 anti-particle alone is the size of a cell of hull, now imagine how many people can be fed with just one anti-particle!
According to cole, it is completely painless and doesnt really care. Scientist 016 is now head scientist, and must now be reffered to with his name: Dr. Samuel.

perfect. is it possible for you a little merging for me? i will turn the Ark into my main base of operations.
like us with the mothership? sure thing. which ships will you be merging?
i will be merging... the Ark... and...
yeah..?
the ark and a lathe. wait, no, a lathe and a varro. no! 2 Varros!
woah, ok. calm down. ...so the ark combined with two varros, and a lathe?
AND a marauder.
...ok... is that all?
hmm... add a few reactors in the back too.
sure thing... is that all?
hmm... yeah. im pretty sure that is it for now.
'for now' huh?
of course! what, you thought your mothership was the only one which could merge?
... you know that the bigger ships and the more ships there are to merge, it will take longer? well, this'll take atleast... 2 cycles.

WE HAVE MADE ANOTHER LIFE CHANGING DISCOVERY!
The brilliant scientist 016, Dr Samuel, has done yet another experiment in regards of Anti-Particulate: 'we now know that the anti-particulate coming out of emitters with pieces of a progenitor are edible, but what would the effects of friendly mire be in regards of plant life?' Were his words before conducting experiment 016-2.

The experiment was successful, as plant life planted on mired land had a 75% faster growth span, and a 50% increase in lifespan. Dr Samuel has been given an honorary specialty as 'Anti-Particulate Head Scientist'.

011-A2: and the strange part is that they crash landed on an asteroid.
that... are... are those things active?
011-A1:no they are not. in fact, it seems as if they are out of energy.
011-A3: they seem to have some sort of... organic hull(?) should i send energy?
they dont seem to be threatening... for all we know, these ships could be alive! or perhaps hydraxils'!
Larc... the hydraxils are purely and solely machine based. i dont think they would use organic hull on their ships.
hmm... your point seems logical to me... supply them.

Darn. it would have been benefitial to have gotten at least a piece...
011-A2: ...nothing here either.

hmm... this find is practically for nothing..(?)
i am uncertain. it would be logical to assume that those ships will somehow inform someone(?) of us.

The Creation of an Anti-Progenitor is succesful. We installed said structure in the Main Colony (AA-0001)(currently vaguely called 'The Capital'). The effects of the Anti-Progenitor are not yet visible. We did not calculate the progenitor having slowly progressive effects. Cole does not report any visible changes since his connection to the Anti-Progenitor as of yet.

We created a series of new Update Log Entry Alphanumeric codes, this one (DOP) designated to advancements in regards of Cole's Dopples.
Ever since Cole's new connection to the Progenitor,
we have detected that the new 'wings' in Cole's main Dopple are growing a sort of 'bone' on the back, just like those of birds or bats. (https://gyazo.com/8336fe61101a599a866c6134cfacb8c0.png)
Further Experimentations are being conducted regarding this sudden appearance.

Update Log DOP-2:
Spoiler

Ever since the creation of the anti-progenitor, Cole's main Dopple has been doing nothing but grow. Most notably as of now, he now grew extra limbs on what i assume to be his Upper torso(?) changes can be seen around his mouth too.

Cole adds that "he has no idea what to do with these."

The wings on Cole's main Dopple have grown. Wingspan increased by a ~20%. but the particulate around the Dopple core seem to be dissappearing...

Update Log EMI-1:
Spoiler
This strand of Update logs (EMI) will be based on advancements in regards of Emitters.

...an interesting advancement we noticed from the main emitters' splitting.

(https://gyazo.com/c4e0f5910b51a1b87b432150ca00b63a.png)


This was the main anti-Emitter with the main anti-dopple maker splitting before the connection with the anti-progenitor. as you may notice, only the anti-emitter splits, leaving one with the dopple maker. each split makes the main anti-emitter weaker, so we had the requirement to constantly feed it more and more emitter pieces from Expeditions. Now, after the linking with Cole and the Anti-Progenitor, we noticed something else:
(https://gyazo.com/af87d091939158a518e04ccdc0901dfd.png)

(https://gyazo.com/5532cd86b2d0cbbe630d6a445b0bb468.png)
It turns out now, that Cole's main anti-Emitters dont split anymore... they DUPLICATE themselves! although this duplication isnt a complete one, mainly because:
(https://gyazo.com/31e6b96c82e482bd57182077779fd14c.png)
there is still differences between the dopples that come out of each maker. Same applies to the ship maker as well, but right now, this Log is about the main emitter with the Main dopple maker. the Main emitter's dopple stays the same, although the duplicate emitter's dopple seems to be... a miniature wingless version of cole's main dopple. further experimentation regarding this discovery is being made. It seems logical of me to assume of this discovery as revolutionary.

When i asked cole if he could control that miniature dopple, he said "imagine having two bodies, controling them even if you are truly not dependant of them. Well... that was already happening in regards of my emitters, except i DID depend on my emitters; but now imagine that, but with the dopples."

Cole... you gave me an idea...

there has been more changes in Cole's main Dopple. for instance, the Level 3 Particulate Capsule around the Dopple core is shrinking, and merged with the core's surrounding particulate itself. there have also been changes around cole's mouth.

We have received amazing news from Cole. Cole has been notifying us about happenings in the side of UESO. Such as a... 'emitter massage machine'(?)

hey! It actually is surprisingly good-feeling!

... ok (?)

But Cole told us something possibly revolutionary. The UESO somehow was able to mimick the Particulate-Hole's 'emitter module' idea, and are now going to confront a hydraxil invasion fleet. We have taken the decision of partaking in the recapture of stolen templates of the UESO. Alexander, are you closing in on the invasion fleet?

Yes sir! It is a medium sized hydraxil fleet.
They seem to have brought a HQ-bearing ship i assume to be some sorts of hydraxil command ship (?)

Go kick some hydraxil butt,
Old friend!

Heh! You got it, Zosimos!

Scout 163-A1: We are now entering an uncharted sector crew... keep your eyes open.
Scout 163-A2: affirmative.
Scout 163-A3: copied.

Scout 163-A3: Guys, something tells me this was a battlespot...
Scout 163-A1: what makes you say that? may it be by the many bombarded asteroids or the many hull pieces floating around?
Scout 163-A2: *chuckles*
Scout 163-A3: guys... take a look at this.
Scout 163-A2: that is a very cliche way to say 'i found something impressive', A3.
Scout 163-A1: cut him some slack, A2. what did you find, A3?

163-A2: what even IS this thing?
163-A3: i already said it looks like a big crystal.
163-A2: yeah, sure, aha, but... this is... this kind of vehicle has not yet been even seen, according to our data banks!
163-A1: maybe it has someone or something inside?
163-A2: oh please, A1. if it were to have something inside, it would have died long ago.
163-A3: yeah but, hydraxils are not exactly organic.
163-A2: hydraxils do not build with crystal like hull.
163-A3: welp, whatever it is, we must take it back to Tierra Prima.
163-A2: but it doesnt even have energy to move, and we are not suited with tractor fields, now are we?

163-A2: well, would you look at that! we have a bit of a spicy relationship with the hydraxil collective too.

We have been experimenting with Ferra's ship, and not only have we improved Ferra's ship, but learned how to replicate that crystalline hull. We have created the "C01" series of updates to save all advancements in regards of this crystalline hull, and the ships we have created with this material.

Ferra's new ship:
Spoiler

{Alexander goes back to the personal chamber where he left Ferra.}
hello?

{Alexander finds Ferra sleeping.}
{Alexander lightly taps on Ferra to wake them up}
hey. wakey wakey. i got a present for ya.

Ferra: h- huh? *yaawn*... wh- wha...? oh hey mr. Alex! what is it?

i got you a surprise present. come with me.

Ferra: really? thank you! ....where are we going?

to the shipyards. we analized your ship thoroughly while you were sleeping.

Ferra: hey, thats a bit intrusive you know? looking at and in my ship while sleeping?

Its for a good reason. Thanks to you, we learned how to replicate this strange crystalline hull, so we decided to give you a little something.

Ferra: what is it?

we are almost there. hold on.

Ferra: ok...

{they arrive to the shipyard, where Ferra's ship is.}

Ferra: ...! wha?! m- my ship?!

surpriise!

Ferra: It... my ship! it is bigger now!

We carefully merged it with both standard lathe and destroyer ships, remade the modules to be compatible with your system's peculiar energy conduit crystals, and ta-da!

Ferra: i dont know what any of that means, but i know its a good thing!

{Ferra jumps up to Alexander to hug him}
Ferra: thank you thank you thank you!

whoa, ok... no problem little buddy. try it out!

Ferra: ok!

Its always good to give twists to good old reliables. and what better way to do that than to create an upgraded version of Zosimos' Reactorv2 ship, using that crystal hull we learned to replicate from Ferra's ship? well, here is that which I just spoke about.

The PseudoRoid:
Spoiler

hey, do you know what is better than swiftly mining asteroids to use their minerals to make huge artificial moons to then warp them somewhere uncharted in space to claim that section of space with that A. moon?

yeah, how about building a special autonomous HQ-Sized Command module in an ASTEROID, which builds its way through, making a supporting matrix that then uses the asteroid as a material AND as a body?
...
HAVE YOU ANY IDEA HOW MUCH... EVERYTHING DOES THIS SAVE?

Not only are we saving our A. moons, but we are repurposing random asteroids... INTO SHIPS!

it has a tactical advantage too! since it looks like an asteroid, no tresspasser will expect a sudden bombarding coming from a random rock in space!

and not only that!

we took into account that maaaaybe our ship-asteroid can give out strange readings. so we considered suiting these with...

drumroll...

cloaking devices!

the first thing this special command module is set to construct is an internal cloaking device that (and we tested it to make sure) COMPLETELY hides any indicators that this is indeed NOT an asteroid!

Worry not, if you are allied with us we will alert that it is infact NOT an asteroid.

if we dont know about you, well, we will stay silent (until you try to mine us)

if we detect a vessel from an enemy of ours (say, the Hydraxil Collective), we will wait for the right moment to BLOW YOU TO HELL YOU WRETCHED-

i suppose you should know what skepticism is, now dont you, Cole?

believe me, i am well aware of that-
Then give Ferra a chance, why dont you?

New entry log code.
the anti-particulate consciousness self-named "Dave", whose origin derives from a progenitor, in contrast from Cole which is a collective consciousness, discovered by the UESO, has been calling for Cole's attention recently. i decided to go record on their progress, whatever it is that they will do.
we have arrived at the UESO facility where they are analizing Dave the Progenitor(?). we were allowed to go in after dave asked for the guards to allow us in. after that, Dave engaged a conversation with Cole in a playful manner.
II=Playing recording: D43-1=II
Dave: hey big bro!
Cole: hey Dave! how have you been?
Dave: I'm good!
Cole: what is it you called me for?
Dave: I want big bro to teach me!
Cole: ok, teach you what?
Dave: about your bodies!
Cole: which ones specifically?
Dave: the ones that are metallic!
Cole: the ships?
Dave: yeah! i want big bro to teach me!
Cole: alright! has the UESO gotten a ship maker connected to you?
Dave:yep! Papa Teki's friends gave my ship thingy another ship thingy!
Cole: ... they gave your ship maker a ship template..?
Dave: yep! but i dunno how to make a ship...
Cole: dont worry, i didnt know at first either, but once you get the hang of it you will enjoy making ships as much as i do.
Dave: Really?
Cole: yep! sadly, i didnt bring a ship maker, but there is one coming.
Dave: big bro can do that?
Cole: yeah! you should be able to do that too, dont you?
Dave: i havent tried yet... can big bro teach me that too?
Cole: sure! but first...
{an anti-ship maker and Cole's ship can be seen getting closer}
Cole: lets teach you how to make ships!

{Cole spawns in his ship, which quickly builds up to full size}

Cole: did you see what i did there with my maker?
Dave: uh huh!
Cole: try to do that yourself!

{Dave struggles to create a ship CM, but achieves so eventually.}
Dave: I... I think i did it!
Cole: thats it! good job!

Dave: thank you big bro!
Cole: no problem!

Cole: no problem.

Cole: hmm... i havent seen that ship before in the UESO database...
Dave: i made it myself! I played around with the ship thingy and made this! how does it look big bro?
Cole: you know how to reshape ships already? you are learning fast! it looks good!
Dave: Am I? yay!
Cole: I bet Teki will be amazed with these news!
Dave: Papa Teki will like this?
Cole: ...yeah! Papa teki will love this!
Dave: lets go see Papa Teki!
Cole: sure!

II=End of recording.=II
Cole then informed me they were heading to inform leader Teki about their new finding.
I went along to keep on supervising these two.
...seems i will be making the role of babysitter along Cole.
Cole: well, I wouldnt say babysitter myself...
Dave has behaviour compared to that of a playful infant.
Lets just hope you teaching Dave how to make ships to not be the equivalent of having a baby with a gun.
Cole: heh, you saw that video too?
...? what video?
Cole: ... nevermind.
... ok?
*ahem*, as of now, we are awaiting a response from leader Teki from the transmission we sent in regards of Dave's findings.

Ferra (C01-A5): whooaa... what is that?
C01-A1: unsure. designs like that arent found in our databanks. definitely alien. unidentified aliens too.
C01-A2: so this is where the distress signal lead to?
Ferra: they seem like they could really use some help! why dont we help them?
C01-A3: I... I dunno bout that A5.
C01-A1: their distress signal was in their strange language, so i dont really know what they want...
C01-A4: not every alien is good, you know?
Ferra: I am fully aware of that. but they are not hydraxil!
C01-A3: yeah, but-
Ferra: has there been more hostile alien races other than hydraxil?
C01-A2: well, if you consider humanity as-
Ferra: if you were to truly be hostile, i would have been killed back when the scouting fleet discovered me, now wouldnt I?
C01-A3: oh, lets just get this over with... initiating energy sharing string deployment.

ferra: *chuckles childishly*, they speak a funny language!
C01-A3: ugh, how will we talk to them then?
C01-A2: guess we have to land and meet up personally.
C01-A4: no we dont. what are you talk-
{A2 lands his scout on the asteroid which still has that alien ship on it.}

??2: aa shii... aa shii ona da her vid shee?

(they seem friendly. at least they arent "hydraxil".)
??1: edi shee spes sut. shee vil ha visida!
(ready our space suits. we will have visitors!)
{the rest of the scouting fleet lands on that same asteroid. everyone in their space suits, except Ferra, as they did not need one. they arrive at the crashed ship, then knock.}
??1: ooo! shee sevir a hii!
{ooo! our saviors are here!)
??2: pen de doh.
(open the door.)
{the alien ship's back door opens. the scouting group backs off to not get squished by the slowly opening door.}
??1: shee sevir! Saa shii fed comir!
(our saviours! thank you for coming!)
{the red suited alien grabs one of the scout member's hand and furiously shakes it, while repeating "saa shii" over and over.}
C01-A2:whooa there, ook uhh, no problem there buddy, dont worry.
{the blue suited, taller aliens come out of the ship to greet their saviours as well.}
??2: ado shii no cono shee lang, shee per apre shii lang.
(although you dont know our language, we can learn your languange.)
??1: ooh ya ya ya! cam en! cam en!
(oooh yeah yeah yeah! come in! come in!)
Ferra: seems they want us to go in their ship.
C01-A2: I... I dont... What is going on?
{the scouting fleet enters the alien ship. door closing behind them.}
C01-A3: uhh... guys?
??3: remu shii spes hed.
(remove your space helmet.)
C01-A2: re... what?
{the alien gestures for the group to remove their helmets.}
C01-A1: yeah, but, is your air breathable for us? oh screw it. might as well try.
C01-A2: no! wai-
{A1 removes his helmet, and takes a deep breath. after confirming the air is indeed breathable, he starts breathing normally. everyone else removes their helmets as well.}
C01-A3: you DO know we have devices which could tell if air is breathable for humans?
C01-A1: oh... anyways.
??1: ca shee?
(can I?)
{the alien gestures as if wanting to touch the crew member.}
C01-A1: what are you doi-
{the alien touches A1's face.}
??1: ...there. wasnt too hard now was it?
C0-A2: WAIT, YOU COULD SPEAK OUR-
??1: we couldnt. now i can. and soon, they will too!
{the other aliens go ahead and put their hand on the one who learned the language, making them learn too.}
??2: we can see whats inside your head by touching you.
??3: it has helped us with many diplomatic issues along our way with our species.
Ferra: soo like... you can touch people and learn what they know?
??2: pretty much.
??1: i cant thank you enough for receiving our signal! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
C01-A2: no problem... say, what is it that put you into that situation?
??1: some strange attackers. they call themselves "hydraxils".
C01-A1: why didnt it surprise me...
??1: you know about them?!
{the alien's tail begins to furiously move from left to right}
C01-A2: yeah. they caused massive destruction in our planet.
??2: so did they in ours. completely unprovoked! what did we do to deserve such fate?!
??1: if i were to meet one personally i would ABSOLUTELY DISMEMBER THEM EXTREMITY BY EXTREMITY.
{the alien's fangs begin to show. the scouting fleet remains silent. the alien notices what it does and regains composture.}
??1:...ahem*... sorry about that...
??2: she is like that ever since the hydraxil invasions.
Ferra: they caused great pain to your race...
??3: as of now, we dont even know if our kind are dead or alive! we had to flee!
Ferra: oh no!
??1: yeah... these hydraxil things were just ABSOLUTE PIECES OF TRASH.
??1: sorry... I cant control it...
Ferra: i bet in their planet you will be well received! they received me well!
C01-A2: yeah! you can come with us back to our planet!
??1: we can? oh my! thank you so much! thank you thank you thank you! {the alien's tail begins to move left to right again}
C01-A3: can we jump them back to TP?
C10-A2: seems like this thing can still fly. lets make it fly a bit more.
??1: i cant wait to see what your planet is like!
??2: you are the only other alien species we have encountered. the other being those-
??1: MURDEROUS MECHANICAL JUNK HEAPS. ....sorry...
{the scouting fleet went out of the alien ship, then boarded their ships respectively. they transfered more energy to the alien ship just in case. they prepare to leave the system along their newfound guests, and made a group warp back to Tierra Prima.}

Entry PSI-1:
Spoiler

that psionic outburst... coming from the cmc...
somehow our people got affected with it...

the Zalfos are gaining sorts of "upgrades" to their psionic powers, which they call "gifts"...
the one called "Dra' as" seems to be able to move at an unimaginable speed. the psionic outburst made it so she gets less tired...
the ones called "Ra' ges" and "Ra' has" seem to better handle their psionic telekinesis, which they call "object manipulation".
the one called "Ra' has" seems to be able to temporarily upgrade an extremity into a shield or a melee weapon of sorts made of bone. preferably an axe of sort. the psionic outburst seems to have upgraded this ability, and can now create bone-like metallic upgrades.

now, about our people...

very few got unimaginably ill. and amongst those, very few died.
the vast majority are resting. they do not show signs of evolution as of yet.
some have shown simplets of psionic handling. Alex and I have been the only ones so far to have irrefutably evolved. and... this... this feeling... cannot be described..!
... *ahem*, it is confirmed tha-
Ferra: finally! i have found you!
AHH!
{Samuel's eyes suddenly begin to glow. everything in the room moved as he turned around.}
Ferra: Sam! its me! calm down!
Ferra! dont scare me like that! i thought you were something else..!
Ferra: what could i have been?
I... I dont know! absolutely everyone affected is resting and here you are!
Ferra: your psionic handling is surprisingly advanced! you might want to watch out if you try to exceed yourself with that. bad things can happen if you abuse your powers.
like what?
Ferra: you lose control... bad stuff happens... and... and...
{Ferra tries to fight the urge to cry}
Ferra: just... just please promise me that you wont abuse your powers, please?
I... I promise, Ferra.
Ferra: thank you...
... *sigh*, just this once...
Ferra: ...h-huh?
{Samuel gives Ferra a hug. Ferra hugs Samuel back.}
I promise i wont abuse my powers.
Ferra: thank you so much...
no problem...
...ok, thats enough...
{Samuel unwraps his hands off Ferra. Ferra stops hugging as well.}
Ferra: so... what were you doing?
recording my mental notes about this situation. so far, its looking bad... everyone is either sleeping or vomiting or... undescribably afraid. Of what? i dont know.
Ferra: psionic energy can twist minds...
I think i got that loud and clear. I have discovered Alexander is afraid of needles the hard way.
Ferra: what do you mean?
Alexander, as i was about to inject him with a serum, he woke up, eyes started glowing, voice somehow reverberating, last thing i knew was the needle somehow exploded on my hand.
Ferra: oh no! did you get hurt? how is your hand?
shards of glass within my skin. already got them out myself.
{shows his hand, covered in bendages. somewhat red.}
Ferra: oh no... oh no...
physical pain is temporary. it will go away. worry not.
Ferra: but..! but your ha-
I assume you wont let me work anymore because of your ceaseless worrying about my hand. if that is to be the case, then i will kindly ask you to leave.
{Ferra seems taken aback. "tears" could be seen running down Ferra's "eyes". they start to cry.}
Ferra: I just... I just wanted to help!
...? oh, wait, did i do it agai-?
Ferra: say no more...*sniff*... I am leaving...
wait, no! Ferra!
{Ferra leaves}
... I did it again...
why am i like this?
why cant i comprehend emotion..?
tell me why...
tell me why...

{his eyes start glowing. everything in the room shakes}
WHY AM I LIKE THIS?!
{everything in the room gets knocked to the floor. Samuel breathes heavily as his eyes' glow fades slowly.}
... why am i like this...
{someone could be heard running outside. someone enters the room}
Ra' ges: SAMUEL!
...
Ra' ges: i could feel you all the way across the capital! the hell were you doing?!
...does it matter..?
do I matter..?
Ra' ges: dont say things like that! look at you! psionic handling exhausts you! you must learn to-
learn... for what? knowledge either way is sent to oblivion... whats the point..?
{extremely quick footsteps could be heard outside the room. Dra' as was already in the room. }
Dra' as: whats wrong, Samuel?
aAAHh..! jesus, Dra' as, you scared me..!
Dra' as: oooo, i get it. your psionic handling is augmented with anger..!
huh..?
Ra' ges: you could be dangerous, even to yourself. you became one of the most dangerous kinds of psionic manipulators to be recorded to our people.
the what? look, i just want to be alone.
Dra' as: i know what can fix this! a hug!
Dont touch me. {his eyes start glowing. he glares at Dra' as. Dra' as not losing her happy go lucky smile.}
Dra' as: aww come on, you need a big-
Ra' ges: Dra' as! i do not reccommend that! i can feel him getting aggressive!
Dra' as: relax! i got this covered! come on, Samuel! you need a big old hug!
Dont touch me! {his eyes glow brighter. everything in the room shakes.}
Ra' ges: DRA' AS. GET AWAY FROM HIM. I SWEAR TO SHAAS' HAER. {Dra' as ignores Ra' ges. Dra' as does not break her smile.}
Dra' as: please. Samuel. you need it.
DONT TOUCH ME. {Samuel somewhat knocks Dra' as back. Dra' as does not break her smile, but her eyes could be seen growing a sharp red cross. her smile turns from happy to somewhat... crazed.}
Ra' ges: DRA' AS. DONT YOU DARE. I KNOW THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES.
Dra' as: no. i get it. you want some space... {she hyperspeeds her way towards Samuel, grabbing him by the neck, pushing him to a wall.}
Dra' as: is this enough space? HUH? IS IT?!
{Samuel's eyes flicker, then stop glowing. his eyes start looking filled with fear. Dra' as notices what she has done. her eyes go back to normal. her smile turns from somewhat crazed back to somewhat happy, somewhat sad. she unhands Samuel}
Dra' as: oh... I... Samuel... {her smile goes away. tears could be seen running down her eyes. she speeds her way back to their personal room.}
Ra' ges: oh right... perfect... Dra' as! wait!
I... I...
Ra' ges: Samuel... you better watch out about my brother... he is in love with Dra' as. he will come for you for making her cry.
...reasonable... reaction... I will talk with him later...
Ra' ges:...no! stand up! you must run! he is extremely overprotective of Dra' as! you dont understand! he might-
let me guess... kill me? I have inflicted enough pain without knowing...
Ra' ges:...look, you are the only one who seems to match my level of intellect. I dont want-
sounds... pretentious...
Ra' ges:...fine then. i will leave you to your luck.
I... did it again... didnt i?
Ra' ges: hurt me? yes. it was a compliment. begone with you. {he leaves}
...*sigh*... everyone hates me... quite literally now...
{Samuel stands up, notices the recording still going.}
...*sigh*... Will this be my last recording?
If no more recordings appear, assume was killed because of an overprotective lovestruck Zalfos...
{strong footsteps could be heard outside}
Ra' has: SAMUEEEL!
Dra' as: Ra' has! please! dont do it! it was just an accident! i am ok now! see? {she smiles}
{Ra' has seems to have ignored Dra' as, instead looking for Samuel even harder.}
Ra' has: SAMUEEL!
...*sigh*... if recording ends, send to Update log. titled: PSI-1.

Ra' has: who do you think you are? making Dra' as cry?
That... was not... my... intentio-
Ra' has: then what was your intention? Dra' as doesnt cry for nothing, and i know it better than anyone. so speak. WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?
Dra' as: RA' HAS SERHIFAS. I COMMAND YOU TO STOP THIS INSTANT.

Dra' as: then ending this relationship might.
Ra' has: WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
Dra' as: unhand him this instant or our relationship will end. do you hear me?

Ra' has: ...fine.

Ra' has: OOOOH. SO PROTECTING YOU IS IRRATIONAL NOW?!
Dra' as: THIS IS NOT PROTECTING. THIS IS SCARING ME.

Ferra: oh..! hi Ra' has..! what is it..? {Ferra tries to hide her sadness with a fake happy tone.}
Ra' has: Its Samuel! he is badly hurt!
Ferra: what?! what happened to him?! {their sadness instantly goes away, converted into worry for Samuel.}

this is the first Update log entry of this kind i have done.
a collaboration between me, the CMC, and Gray has been organized.
I decided to make the template for this project.
Currently under the "alpha" category of "Work In Progress", so more building has to be made right now.

I have currently planned out the "core" of this soon to be humongous beauty...

i placed an image of where the "ED" Gray agreed to supply could be. placing could change, of course.

i will record every detail of this ship's making in this update log series of entries.

so far so good. this is what i have thought of so far.

I...
I am recording this... to keep track of my analysis about...  my thorough work... analyzing... (I am so tired...) our people... and...
everybody...
and i mean...
everybody...
got affected...
in some way or another...
I dont yet know what is it that is changing in our bodies...
All i know is...
our DNA has been altered.
A new strand surged... within our genetic code...
unlike others... it is not... in a way... physical...
but rather... psionic...
I dont know how to explain this...
nor will i even try to, as it is too extensive...
but i will try and resume it...

we are no longer human...
...we are... we are no longer human..!
...no longer... no longer human...

if... if we are.. no longer human... then... what are we..?
we arent... human...

i have finished what comes to be the core of the Titan.

So far so good! im feeling proud of myself!

Cole pointed out how it looked like an egg...

heh. havent laughed that hard ever since Sams-
...
*ahem*, so, this will be the core, with basic components, it will be suited for emergency fleeing, in case its MASSIVE BODY were to be compromised in its entirety...

for some reason, Gray and CMC asked me to add some space on the back. I assume it is for further addition of modules. I created a hologram of a weapon i drew when younger and put it for further reference.

i just left empty 2x2 spaces for whatever the CMC is going to add...

FOR THE LOVE OF GOODNESS ON THIS UNIVERSE, SAMUEL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
{Samuel could be seen banging his head on a wall. The wall could be seen almost taking the shape of Samuel's head}
what. Am. I. What. Are. We. What. Am. I.
STOP IT! WHATS GOTTEN INTO YOU?
...i... i dont know... confusion... hatred...
Hatred for what?! You-urself?! What has truly gotten into you?
...feelings... undescribable...
sit down. Come on. Sit down.
{Hysoka grabs Samuel and pushes him down to a chair.}
tell me... whats gotten into y-you..?
(I might regret this decision, so badly...)
...i feel... tainted...
why?
CMC's psionic outburst affected us in many ways...
it gave all of you powers! Thats absolutely great!
it altered our genes... created a new... "psionic"
Pair...
thats great! Isnt it? You guys are psionic for life!
... we arent human anymore...
...thats... bad..?
...we are aliens of our own kind...
you are noooot..! Look at yourself! Same old you as always, with powers!
... this... i dont feel like... i have changed... i feel like... Impure...
because you all have an extra psionic gene?!
Give me a break-!
I feel like an alien... to my own kind...
still not an excuse to hit yours-
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND.
E-eek!
... *sigh*...
{Hysoka puts a hand on his shoulder, although still scared.}
then... let me understand...
... I...
I have this...
Passionate distrust... towards aliens...
Hydraxils were the first alien contact we ever had...
And suddenly, your home's ceiling is ripped apart, everything you thought, believed, etc, down the drain...
I... distrust aliens...
and now i am one...
For my own kind...
For every other human out in this universe...

...
I feel dirty...
.....I...
...I knew you wouldnt understand...
...No... I... kinda know what you mean... you kno-ow..?
is that so..?
at least you know who you have been throughout your entire life. I barely get flashes. Flashes of a past life i suddenly remember out of nowhere. I know i am human... or was... but that is abou-ut as much as i know...
All i knew was mindlessly working for them, helping them upgrade their templates... *sigh*...
That all of this in TP is somehow familiar to me is about as much information as i can get. Deja-vus.
And some people look at me disgusted because of my metallic design and "ugh hydraxils", you know? Its not easy being someone hated for something out of their control...

And you shouldnt hate yourself for something you didnt know was going to happen. Its unhealthy.
....Thank... you...
n-no problem...
{Hysoka was standing to leave, only stopped by Samuel grabbing his hand.}
stay... please...
...o...ok...?
(I knew i was going to somehow regret this...)
...I...dont know... whats happening... to me...
But... you helped me... in a way... i have never seen...

I feel... appreciated... by you...
And i thank you... for that...
{Hysoka starts getting nervous from Samuel's unussual response. He stands there, at a loss of words. Samuel stands up.}
(What is happening today? Why is he doing this..? I just need to go ba-)
{He was thinking, interrupted by Samuel's sudden hug. Samuel begins crying uncontrollably all while hugging Hysoka. Hysoka doesnt know what to do...}
U-uhh... ohh... dear...
what... is... happ...enn...ing... to me..? *sobs*...
...i dont... know... but... i will help... with that...
Thank... you... Hysoka... so much...
{Hysoka just stays there, at a loss of things to do, waiting for Samuel to calm down.}
{After some time, Samuel finally calmed down and sat down again.}
...better..?
...yes... thank you...
...ok... i will just-
I like your company...
...oh? Th-thank you..? I will just-
we should be in one ship... the both of us...
Controlling a single, shared ship...
{Hysoka gets nervous.}
...wh...why is...that... why... why... go to such extremes..?
{Samuel seems to have ignored Hysoka, and kept on speaking his thoughts.}
I should merge both this and hysoka's ship...
EXCUSE M-ME?
i need you... you calm down... my irrational emotions...
YES- BUT- I MEAN- YOU- I COULD-
settled then. I scheduled a ship merging somewhen soon.
...are you drunk or something..?
I am not a drinker, Hysoka. You know it.
I- but my- your- why are-
you enjoy my company..?
I... I mean... yeah... b-
settled then. And worry not about your stuff.
It will be carefully placed during the merging inside one of the other HQs.

newly created Cole's concept ship(s):
Spoiler

These sub sections of 001 update logs will be dedicated to showing off creations Cole has imagined through experimentation within his various ship makers.
Cole seems to have an internal inventory of sorts throughout all of his ship makers...
but that is a topic for a different update log.
Cole's Utility (COLE-U):
Spoiler

Alright, so, i thought of a ship that could be able to deal with lathing...
deal with incoming stunners from my red siblings...
have some close combat capabilities...
and could be able to deal with raw plasma...
so i thought of THIS.
granted, it is energy intensive, but thats why we got (an exponentially increasing amount of) reactor ships, now aint it?

Cole's Energy station (COLE-ES):
Spoiler

The TPC... has an expansion plan.
it plans on spreading my spare emitters throughout claimed space, to further secure our domain over said claimed space.
we plan to make it so planets around different systems get to be habitable... and protected...
not only through my mire...
but with my particulate...
they wanted me to expand... use all of my spare ship makers...
so i had an idea...
an orbital. a miniature. a station. meant to generate energy to generate energy to nearby ships. nearby colonies...
I plan on taking a ship maker to a claimed space section, and build the station there.

...
I wish to make the universe a better place, is all. gather information like my fathers, Zosimos and Larcwyde, want...
...I will...
I'll try my best...
for humanity...
...for my people...
....for ourselves...

entry MKR-1:

These series of update logs have been created to store information about Cole's information about his makers (Dopple, Ship, and stunner).
Ship maker discoveries:
Cole confirms the newfound existence of a special link between his ship makers.
an... "inventory"... of sorts...
this allows him to transmit templates along ship makers of his.
example:
>SM1 and SM2.
>SM1 gets an imput template.
>SM1 can transfer template to SM2.
>or merge it with the existing template in SM2.
>or swap templates with one another.
Further experimentation is being done by Cole himself on himself.

this is my first experimentation with an HQ-bearing ship...

I must say, I absolutely despise the fact that HQ's are wide, and not squared, so i made it so it turned square.

hmm... if i ever create any more HQ bearing ships, they will have this setup for sure...

...but anyways, as for the functionality of this ship:
defensive vessel for claimed sections of space.
...best thing about these is that they have got the Rift drives HQ's ussually have...
so i can build many of these and warp them to a determined place...

it would be beautiful...

Greetings, newcomers from the Tierra Prima Collective, this is Fleet Commander Decagon speaking.

We are glad to know you are an opponent to the particulate, and would like to ensure you know that we are fighting it as much as you are. This is an official request for some sort of cooperative agreement between our two factions, so that we may succeed in ridding this galaxy of its many ailments together.

*Distant* Hmm? What is it, Lieutenant? I'm in the middle of a... ah yes, I see. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I've been informed that you also have had some trouble with aliens you know as the "Hydraxils", correct? As coincidence would have it, we are also fighting these... machines. The Hydraxil Collective is a plague that needs to be eradicated, and frankly, we need all the help we can get in our fight against them.

What do you say, friends?

Though the power of this Progenitor doesn't come close to that of the true Progenitor, this feat was only done once before, and even then by the collective work of dozens of civilizations.
I'm curious as to the intricacies of this Progenitor Matrix.
I request a trade of data. The blueprint of this Progenitor Matrix, and the theories that went into making it. In return, we will give you blueprints of upgrades to your current defensive technology, and the Amp Gems to power them. If you desire something else, we're all ears.

well, uhh... hey Larc, can i ask you something? Please explain the progenitor process you are currently executing to these kind fellows.

our making of the anti-Progenitor is based Mostly on reverse engineering. With the progenitor pieces we obtained from our second to last mission, not only is it more than enough to create the anti-progenitor, it was more than sufficient to upgrade Cole's structures in the following ways:
upgrades

The Ship maker:
Spoiler
one of the progenitor pieces was given to the ship maker. It granted absolute manipulation of the ship template and enabled an ability to COPY the template in a CACHE. Further experimentations about the upgrades are being done. 
[close]
The Dopple maker:
Spoiler
Dopples no longer are a simple particulate cluster conjoined by a core,
It has turned dopples into ORGANISMS. Capability of speech and vision are the only notable changes. Further experimentation procedures are being done.  
[close]
The Stunner Maker:
Spoiler
this one was the most 'shocking' of all the upgrades! (badum Tss?)
...
...
... (Ahem...) the Stunner maker seems to have evolved beyond belief, seemingly having the same ability as mirers to split. Further experimentation procedures are being done.
[close]
The Emitters:
Spoiler
they also acquired the ability to split. Emitters are currently being placed around Tierra Prima as a defensive measurement. Further experimentation procedures are being done.
[close]
The mirers:
Spoiler
currently, the only notable changes in mirers fed with the progenitor pieces are stronger miring and more ease to split. This could be benefitial towards the securing of other systems. Further experimentation is being done.
[close]

whoever it is who contacted us, i hope this information turns out to be benefitial or got you what you wanted... anyhow, you can visit us any time if you wish to immerse tourself into Project Anti-Progenitor

Ahhh. It's based off of a Progenitor Node, with similarities to a Matrix. Even a few similarities to an Excalibur, I might say.

The dopple is the most intriguing of this. An actual organism composed of Particulate? The Archivist would be impressed.
I would be careful if I were you. Evolution is the particulates trait, but unlocking it's restraints could cause rampancy. Such an event has happened once before, but was halted before the change could spread to the rest of the emitters.

We have possession of a few intact Progenitor Nodes. If you would be willing, we could meet. I'd like to see the process of creating one of these constructs for us, if it can be done again.

naaah. I wouldnt hurt my fathers! I SPECIFICALLY make my particulate do no harm to any civilians. I can always control whether or not the object they come in contact with gets bounced off of, ignored or destroyed. Just imagine each particle as a cell, each controlled by one BIG external nucleus (me!). Same thing applies with mire. People walk on it but dont get destroyed.
I want to help Humanity and all of those species (if any, wait, are there?) Struggling against my red, hostile counterpart, while also evolving to make ways to help!

Hello. My name is Exile. Well, my codename is Exile. I've brought a Progenitor here. This was among the first Progenitors ever made by the Imperium. It is in pristine condition.

I will be performing scans while you work on the Progenitor. We'll be taking the Progenitor with us for study when you have finished.

Please be swift. Our rather unique signatures may have not gone unnoticed.

me? i will stay here, speaking with our visitors. Maybe even experiment wit- oh wait, this is not our progenitor... anyways, i may have to recharge soon, so go on, take your break.
Scientist 016: yes sir.
... alright... so, exile, right? thank you for lending us this progenitor for scanning. you have greatly contributed to our understanding of progenitors. ... weird, i didnt calculate progenitors as portable. but then again, your ships are... yeah.
we may not need more 'amp gems' or defenses (which is up for Cole) as of right now, but, perhaps, you may help us rebuild our cities? many have fallen, and many civilians have been stripped from their homes, many *innocent* civilians suffering by the merciless attack of those... h y d r a x i l s . . .  it would be much appreciated.

Sensors detected a high power energy discharge into Cole's core, likely temporarily unlocking a few of its restrictions. Particle density increase of 12.87%. Fascinating. It seems the code has bound again.

Progenitor's have never done anything of this nature before. It must be some sort of defence mechanism, or malfunction. Particles, when coming into contact with particulate machinery, sort of communicate, trading atomic level information, or universal data. The Progenitor processes this data, then sends it to the Nexus of the Particulate for storage in the Master Archive. The data transmission seems to have succeeded, but the altered nature of this dopple's particle structure was likely rejected in the automated attempt to communicate. What do you think?

Perhaps the resulting discharge short circuited those restrictive mechanisms in the core. If that is the case, enemies may be able to create a weapon that can tap into this, possibly even subverting Cole against his will.

Cole, would you mind sending me the data in your local P.C.M? I might be able to modify it to be able to bolster your system security.

hello new friend! Worry not, i can only control particulate made by my emitters (or my makers).
uhh... 'particulate hole' ? Havent heard of anything like that.
would you mind if i study such particulate holes?
A trade of resources would be most logical. We are still currently farming for anti-emitters, making outside expeditions and destroying hostile emitters. Perhaps you may help with that too. We have not learned how to control Cole's new emitter splitting yet,  but it seems to be at random. Further experimentation is being done regarding that.
As a celebratory custom of ours, we are also willing to merge two of your ships (if any(?)).

yes, but that is wasted energy, you know?
oh for crying out loud, our mothership has reactors. Healing screens is the smallest energy consumer compared to a square metre of hull.

if these guys are coming, we need to prepare ourselves. Perhaps call that Decagon guy for help.

good idea, Cole. It seems to be the most logical thing to do. After all, who knows how big their fleet might be? I mean, look at Exile's ships! They are MASSIVE.
Good thing that they brought attention to our shipyard's limits. (Currently being upgraded). Anyways, connect the mothership to the Beacon. We need to send a message to Decagon.

This is Fleet Commander Decagon, reading you loud and clear.

Damn machines have been terrorizing everyone in their way for months now, and we cannot sit idly by whilst they prepare to hit yet another one of our allies. Unfortunately, the majority of our forces are pre-disposed with other assignments crucial in holding the tide against the Hydraxil threat...

Actually, scratch that, I might have an idea. There is a growing taskforce of new friendlies that have recently been freed from subjugation. I will see to it that they are immediately routed to the sectors under your jurisdiction, so as to prevent the Hydraxil Collective invading without opposition.

Do not worry about payment, we have no need for merged vessels or credits of any kind. Instead, we tend to trade in units of raw materials, which we call Resource Units. If you have any RU's to spare, I'm sure my Resource Appropriations Officer will be able to establish a trade route with you.

Fleet Command, out.

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

Fleet Commander Decagon: I'm sure this task won't be too difficult for you, Halmiir?

Cmd Halmiir: I can handle this. Three Nodes and twelve Motherships have already gathered for the jump to hyperspace.

Fleet Commander Decagon: Good. Though don't be surprised if the locals get spooked at the sight of you.

Cmd Halmiir: That would only become a problem if they start shooting first.

Fleet Commander Decagon: Transmit our HDF signatures the moment you drop out of hyperspace, they should recognize that as friendlies. Good luck, Commander.

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

*Mere hours later, the new defenders arrive at the Tierra Prima sectors.*

Cmd Halmiir: Attention, Tierra Prima forces. This is Commander Halmiir of the Hydraxil Cooperative, here to defend you from the wrath of the Collective on behalf of the Hiigara Defence Force. Worry not, though we may look like the Collective, we have been freed from the Prime Construct's grasp and now actively seek to protect others from the same fate that befell us.

Not to mention that Project A-P is nearly done, so our understanding of anti-particulate will exponentially increase. If it suffices, we will trade anti-emitters in exchange for RUs.

Greetings friends, I am Resource Appropriations Officer Michael S'jet. Fleet Command said to answer this call, and rightly so.

We have been capturing a wide variety of Particulate structures over the course of our campaign, and have been studying them for months now. I'm sure I can wrench some Emitters, Doppel and Ship Constructors, and Stunner Reactors from the clutches of the egghead kiiths for trade. Much as people don't want to admit it, we are in dire need for RU's to keep our frontline fleets at combat readiness. We usually get shipments through the Abbasid Gate, the hyperspace gate that led us to this galaxy, though there have been some issues back home that can cause delays. This, as you can imagine, results in shortages during the constant fighting with Hydraxil fleets throughout this region.

Therefore, I propose the establishment of a hyperlane, a sort of hyperspace highway that makes shipment of materials easier for both of us. A scout vessel will be deployed as soon as we can reach an agreement on this.

Also, as a gesture of goodwill, Fleet Command has authorized the transfer of all the research we have collected on the particulate structures we have captured. I'm sure that will be a great boon to your own research.

My energy signature will be strong, at least particles seem to stop then continue once my energy signature appears. 
Being my planet is composed of selfregrowing ship hull, I think an exchange of Crystal and Anti Particle would be best. What do you say... A rate of 1 anti particle per Crystal hull?

uhh... a hyperlane?
(yes, sim.) But how do we get to build such thing? We are not yet familiarized with such construct.

a trade of information seems most logical. Through recent experimentation, we have developed a lathe reconfiguration which allows for a chance to convert emitters into anti-emitters. Perhaps giving you the reconfig.
code as a trade proves to be most benefitial.

I think we can arrange a trade of resources. 
Where are you located? I'll begin going to your location for the resource swap immediately.
My energy signature will be strong, at least particles seem to stop then continue once my energy signature appears. 
Being my planet is composed of selfregrowing ship hull, I think an exchange of Crystal and Anti Particle would be best. What do you say... A rate of 1 anti particle per Crystal hull? 
 
I can also turn emitters into ship weapons, so that may be of use.

Hello! I believe I'm at the correct coordinates. I've already loaded the inside of the planet with particles, so ships will be invisible. 
My planet should have a bunch of shards orbitting the planet: This appears to be because the natural crystal growth is from the crystals launching out smaller crystals then going back to the original planet using gravity. A smart use of increasing surface area for more growth, if I say so myself.
I'm sending out a few hammers with some crystal. I'll let you try it out and see if you want to try using it for a ship hull. 
[DATA SENT] 
That's how we turn it into a ship hull. Before that, it seems to react like normal metallic land, with all types of particles bouncing off of it. 
Oh, you were worried about me warping in too close? No, the warp in is way too expensive and difficult to get a precise warp for a constantly changing, moving, planet with people on it. 
No, we simply warped in closeby and we have huge planetary engines, potentially even enough to destroy an asteroid belt or drill a hole straight through a planet. 
Lastly: I believe you wanted to study a particulate hole? Those are particularly hard to make. If you can get 25000 particulate into a single unit of space, one is created, though. Even with your powers of controlling Particulate, Particulate holes are.... sort-of particulate, but may not react in the same way as a particle. I'd suggest you keep it locked up well, as Particulate holes are, being sentient, quite rebellious and will try to escape to space. 
Try not to keep any humans around it, unless you completely trust them. At 100,000 Particulate, the particle hole can control any human being within an AU, and at a million particulate, if a human that the hole likes touches it, then the human will gain full control over the particle hole. I used to be human myself - but I liked the particle hole, and it liked me, so we merged.

resource units huh? We are on a strict need of those right now for both building and feeding our civilians.(disclaimer: not building our civilians. Their homes. Just in case you may take that literally, which would be a logical assumption.) Although we are on a shortage of RUs, the farming of anti-particulate-related structures is blooming! Not to mention that Project A-P is nearly done, so our understanding of anti-particulate will exponentially increase. If it suffices, we will trade anti-emitters in exchange for RUs.
Do you consider this proposition fair?


II=End Transmission=II

----Begin Transmission----

Greetings friends, I am Resource Appropriations Officer Michael S'jet. Fleet Command said to answer this call, and rightly so.

We have been capturing a wide variety of Particulate structures over the course of our campaign, and have been studying them for months now. I'm sure I can wrench some Emitters, Doppel and Ship Constructors, and Stunner Reactors from the clutches of the egghead kiiths for trade. Much as people don't want to admit it, we are in dire need for RU's to keep our frontline fleets at combat readiness. We usually get shipments through the Abbasid Gate, the hyperspace gate that led us to this galaxy, though there have been some issues back home that can cause delays. This, as you can imagine, results in shortages during the constant fighting with Hydraxil fleets throughout this region.

Therefore, I propose the establishment of a hyperlane, a sort of hyperspace highway that makes shipment of materials easier for both of us. A scout vessel will be deployed as soon as we can reach an agreement on this.

Also, as a gesture of goodwill, Fleet Command has authorized the transfer of all the research we have collected on the particulate structures we have captured. I'm sure that will be a great boon to your own research.

<Research Data Transfer Completed>

----End Transmission----
II=Begin Transmission=II
Greetings S'jet. It is a pleasure to meet you.


uhh... a hyperlane?
(yes, sim.) But how do we get to build such thing? We are not yet familiarized with such construct.

a trade of information seems most logical. Through recent experimentation, we have developed a lathe reconfiguration which allows for a chance to convert emitters into anti-emitters. Perhaps giving you the reconfig.
code as a trade proves to be most benefitial.

..yeah. that. ...we will be waiting for your response.
(sim... could you be any more rude!?)
(...what?)

<Speaker Identified: RAO M. S'jet>

Ah, yes, the hyperlane. Originally, a long-range hyperlane required many substations placed along its route to maintain its strength. Fortunately, modern developments mean that we can now build one with two small stations at either end of the hyperspace tunnel. With your permission, I will authorize for a construction vessel to be deployed to a suitable hyperlane endpoint near your home sector to begin building a hyperspace gate, which will connect to a gate near our staging area. A scout ship is already scouting the route, and should return to us in a few days.

The information trade will be extremely useful to both of us, I'm sure.

Thanks.

I won't be able to spare any extra ships, but supposedly the blueprints should be being sent over. 
 
As I don't know how to make the custom anti-emitter modules, you'll have to send me some anti-emitters so I can create some anti-emitter modules for you. 
For now, I'll only be sending the passive-sender modules. That's not because I don't trust you with the active-sender modules, it's because the active-senders eat energy faster than it takes Sim to.... "notice something discusting"

resource units huh? We are on a strict need of those right now for both building and feeding our civilians.(disclaimer: not building our civilians. Their homes. Just in case you may take that literally, which would be a logical assumption.) Although we are on a shortage of RUs, the farming of anti-particulate-related structures is blooming! Not to mention that Project A-P is nearly done, so our understanding of anti-particulate will exponentially increase. If it suffices, we will trade anti-emitters in exchange for RUs.
Do you consider this proposition fair?

Greetings friends, I am Resource Appropriations Officer Michael S'jet. Fleet Command said to answer this call, and rightly so.

We have been capturing a wide variety of Particulate structures over the course of our campaign, and have been studying them for months now. I'm sure I can wrench some Emitters, Doppel and Ship Constructors, and Stunner Reactors from the clutches of the egghead kiiths for trade. Much as people don't want to admit it, we are in dire need for RU's to keep our frontline fleets at combat readiness. We usually get shipments through the Abbasid Gate, the hyperspace gate that led us to this galaxy, though there have been some issues back home that can cause delays. This, as you can imagine, results in shortages during the constant fighting with Hydraxil fleets throughout this region.

Therefore, I propose the establishment of a hyperlane, a sort of hyperspace highway that makes shipment of materials easier for both of us. A scout vessel will be deployed as soon as we can reach an agreement on this.

Also, as a gesture of goodwill, Fleet Command has authorized the transfer of all the research we have collected on the particulate structures we have captured. I'm sure that will be a great boon to your own research.

Greetings S'jet. It is a pleasure to meet you.


uhh... a hyperlane?
(yes, sim.) But how do we get to build such thing? We are not yet familiarized with such construct.

a trade of information seems most logical. Through recent experimentation, we have developed a lathe reconfiguration which allows for a chance to convert emitters into anti-emitters. Perhaps giving you the reconfig.
code as a trade proves to be most benefitial.

..yeah. that. ...we will be waiting for your response.

Ah, yes, the hyperlane. Originally, a long-range hyperlane required many substations placed along its route to maintain its strength. Fortunately, modern developments mean that we can now build one with two small stations at either end of the hyperspace tunnel. With your permission, I will authorize for a construction vessel to be deployed to a suitable hyperlane endpoint near your home sector to begin building a hyperspace gate, which will connect to a gate near our staging area. A scout ship is already scouting the route, and should return to us in a few days.

The information trade will be extremely useful to both of us, I'm sure.

Thanks.

Greetings S'jet,
we grant the permission of a construction vessel to settle near our home. perhaps some of our own may be of assistance?

or perhaps you need more firepower on your frontlines? because for that, i got a good friend willing to go on a mission as mass-firing support. (see Update Log 001-2.) you can contact him anytime. He is the Commander Alexander. He is free at the moment. I know he'd be very glad to know that he will be sent on a mission against our home's invaders.
... (the heck does that have to do with the hyperlane?)
(hey, Alexander's been down lately, so i wanted to see if he could be given some action, is all.)
(yes, but S'jet is the Resource Appropriations Officer, not the Fleet Commander. Tell that to Decagon, not S'jet, Dummy.)

ahem... excuse that quick interruption by Zosimos... it seems most logical for us to assist with our construction crew to accelerate the building. you just have to give them the blueprints and they follow along.

Hello! I believe I'm at the correct coordinates. I've already loaded the inside of the planet with particles, so ships will be invisible. 
My planet should have a bunch of shards orbitting the planet: This appears to be because the natural crystal growth is from the crystals launching out smaller crystals then going back to the original planet using gravity. A smart use of increasing surface area for more growth, if I say so myself.
I'm sending out a few hammers with some crystal. I'll let you try it out and see if you want to try using it for a ship hull. 
[DATA SENT] 
That's how we turn it into a ship hull. Before that, it seems to react like normal metallic land, with all types of particles bouncing off of it. 
Oh, you were worried about me warping in too close? No, the warp in is way too expensive and difficult to get a precise warp for a constantly changing, moving, planet with people on it. 
No, we simply warped in closeby and we have huge planetary engines, potentially even enough to destroy an asteroid belt or drill a hole straight through a planet. 
Lastly: I believe you wanted to study a particulate hole? Those are particularly hard to make. If you can get 25000 particulate into a single unit of space, one is created, though. Even with your powers of controlling Particulate, Particulate holes are.... sort-of particulate, but may not react in the same way as a particle. I'd suggest you keep it locked up well, as Particulate holes are, being sentient, quite rebellious and will try to escape to space. 
Try not to keep any humans around it, unless you completely trust them. At 100,000 Particulate, the particle hole can control any human being within an AU, and at a million particulate, if a human that the hole likes touches it, then the human will gain full control over the particle hole. I used to be human myself - but I liked the particle hole, and it liked me, so we merged.

As much as you want. Please don't be really greedy. We can also pay in usable ships with blueprints included!

No problem, glad you liked them Cole :) also, those are also instructions for costumes or figurines encoded in the image's x-ray levels. I have some premade costumes for you if you want it.

Also, please keep this channel open. The Hydraxil is planning to do a "resistance test" attack, we would like to request a bit of assistance. We don't know how much units they will bring.

Hello! I believe I'm at the correct coordinates. I've already loaded the inside of the planet with particles, so ships will be invisible. 
My planet should have a bunch of shards orbitting the planet: This appears to be because the natural crystal growth is from the crystals launching out smaller crystals then going back to the original planet using gravity. A smart use of increasing surface area for more growth, if I say so myself.
I'm sending out a few hammers with some crystal. I'll let you try it out and see if you want to try using it for a ship hull. 
[DATA SENT] 
That's how we turn it into a ship hull. Before that, it seems to react like normal metallic land, with all types of particles bouncing off of it. 
Oh, you were worried about me warping in too close? No, the warp in is way too expensive and difficult to get a precise warp for a constantly changing, moving, planet with people on it. 
No, we simply warped in closeby and we have huge planetary engines, potentially even enough to destroy an asteroid belt or drill a hole straight through a planet. 
Lastly: I believe you wanted to study a particulate hole? Those are particularly hard to make. If you can get 25000 particulate into a single unit of space, one is created, though. Even with your powers of controlling Particulate, Particulate holes are.... sort-of particulate, but may not react in the same way as a particle. I'd suggest you keep it locked up well, as Particulate holes are, being sentient, quite rebellious and will try to escape to space. 
Try not to keep any humans around it, unless you completely trust them. At 100,000 Particulate, the particle hole can control any human being within an AU, and at a million particulate, if a human that the hole likes touches it, then the human will gain full control over the particle hole. I used to be human myself - but I liked the particle hole, and it liked me, so we merged.

Forewarning: Don't let sim read this. 
As a particulate hole, I have the power to know exactly when another p-hole is made. 
First: since my creation, I have detected zero p-holes made.   
I also haven't made any other p-holes; this is mostly due to a power struggle that occurs. 
I have, lastly, in all my anti-emitter farming, found exactly one p-hole - which I fused into myself. 
Sadly, that makes me the only known p-hole. 

We're close enough together that I accidentally picked up some data from a transmission. 
It's a strong transmission, mind you, so I was only able to pick this up 
 
[SHAT-] -Hydraxil- [-TER-] -RESISTANCE TEST- [-RED L-] LIKE [-ETTE-] -ASSISTANCE- [-RS] 
 
Basically, Hydraxil's doing a resistance test? 
If you go, there's a chance I'll go and a chance I won't. 
Hydraxil might have the tech to easily blow up a planet, and besides 
I haven't finished constructing my PAW (Planetary Annihilation Weapon) 
 
No, I haven't picked up things from other locations. 
 
Regarding your update logs: 
Jeez, based on readily available sources [https://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=25673.0] if Particulate is edible 
A quarter square mile would be massive... and that's just a single particle. 
Plus, plants are heavily boosted from particulate as well? 
I think UESO would be interested in this. 
I'll let you decide, though. 
 
Lastly, maybe I should've told you.

perhaps we can help build the PAW, by sending our engineer ships.

that's why it is such a life changing discovery! Imagine how many people we can feed with ONE particulate alone! Some say they taste strange, but somewhat good, some say it tastes like chicken(?) (Yeah,

That's how we turn it into a ship hull. Before that, it seems to react like normal metallic land, with all types of particles bouncing off of it. 
Oh, you were worried about me warping in too close? No, the warp in is way too expensive and difficult to get a precise warp for a constantly changing, moving, planet with people on it. 
No, we simply warped in closeby and we have huge planetary engines, potentially even enough to destroy an asteroid belt or drill a hole straight through a planet. 
Lastly: I believe you wanted to study a particulate hole? Those are particularly hard to make. If you can get 25000 particulate into a single unit of space, one is created, though. Even with your powers of controlling Particulate, Particulate holes are.... sort-of particulate, but may not react in the same way as a particle. I'd suggest you keep it locked up well, as Particulate holes are, being sentient, quite rebellious and will try to escape to space. 
Try not to keep any humans around it, unless you completely trust them. At 100,000 Particulate, the particle hole can control any human being within an AU, and at a million particulate, if a human that the hole likes touches it, then the human will gain full control over the particle hole. I used to be human myself - but I liked the particle hole, and it liked me, so we merged.

[REPEATED MAIL DATA DEPRECATED]

I think it was a transmission to you, actually.... eh, whatever. 
 
The PAW's main problem is the amount of energy we have, mostly. You see, as it turns out, the crystal seems to be a "paste" in reality - so it can be used as a battery. However, when it makes contact with an atmospheric element, such as Oxygen or Carbon Dioxide, the "paste" appears to immediately crystallize, and if the crystal is given an electric charge by other crystals, it appears to immediately crystallize. 
So the main problem is that we don't have enough energy to fill the entire planet with so much power. 
A side problem is the amount of crystal we can get, as it's a laser, so better crystal can either be used to increase accuracy and also increase damage.   
Using the planet's crystal is likely the worst laser crystal ever, as the lens keeps changing as it shoots out other crystal to attempt to create more crystal 
 
Oh, UESO? Yeah, I might make a transmission to them. My planet's small for a "planet" from human expectations, it's about as big as the moon, but I think I might send a transmission there and move myself there.   
 
I'll be going soon. I'll turn the emitters you throw at me until then into CMs. I hope you find a good ship fusion with the Custom Module! 

"It" is a bomb, so it's not very useful to use it against "them" unless "they" surround us.

I think we can arrange a trade of resources. 
Where are you located? I'll begin going to your location for the resource swap immediately.
My energy signature will be strong, at least particles seem to stop then continue once my energy signature appears. 
Being my planet is composed of selfregrowing ship hull, I think an exchange of Crystal and Anti Particle would be best. What do you say... A rate of 1 anti particle per Crystal hull? 
 
I can also turn emitters into ship weapons, so that may be of use.

Hello! I believe I'm at the correct coordinates. I've already loaded the inside of the planet with particles, so ships will be invisible. 
My planet should have a bunch of shards orbitting the planet: This appears to be because the natural crystal growth is from the crystals launching out smaller crystals then going back to the original planet using gravity. A smart use of increasing surface area for more growth, if I say so myself.
I'm sending out a few hammers with some crystal. I'll let you try it out and see if you want to try using it for a ship hull.

That's how we turn it into a ship hull. Before that, it seems to react like normal metallic land, with all types of particles bouncing off of it.

This was the main anti-Emitter with the main anti-dopple maker splitting before the connection with the anti-progenitor. as you may notice, only the anti-emitter splits, leaving one with the dopple maker. each split makes the main anti-emitter weaker, so we had the requirement to constantly feed it more and more emitter pieces from Expeditions. Now, after the linking with Cole and the Anti-Progenitor, we noticed something else:

(https://gyazo.com/5532cd86b2d0cbbe630d6a445b0bb468.png)
It turns out now, that Cole's main anti-Emitters dont split anymore... they DUPLICATE themselves! although this duplication isnt a complete one, mainly because:
(https://gyazo.com/31e6b96c82e482bd57182077779fd14c.png)
there is still differences between the dopples that come out of each maker. Same applies to the ship maker as well, but right now, this Log is about the main emitter with the Main dopple maker. the Main emitter's dopple stays the same, although the duplicate emitter's dopple seems to be... a miniature wingless version of cole's main dopple. further experimentation regarding this discovery is being made. It seems logical of me to assume of this discovery as revolutionary.

When i asked cole if he could control that miniature dopple, he said "imagine having two bodies, controling them even if you are truly not dependant of them. Well... that was already happening in regards of my emitters, except i DID depend on my emitters; but now imagine that, but with the dopples."

Cole... you gave me an idea...

Hmm... interesting. If we find any enemy structures and bring them to you, could you flip them for us? We have a lot of emitters in a research chamber, under control. Maybe we will figure out the differences from some flipped ones and may be able to flip them ourselves!

We're preparing to send a science team holding them:

Greetings, Teki.
Indeed, we can convert those particulate structures into anti-particulate. They just wont be as advanced as the main emitters Cole has. Just regular Emitters. Although, you can always upgrade the anti-emitters with pieces of other emitters.
but there is a twist into the process of conversion.
what? What are you talking about cole?
first of all, the conversion is done inserting my consciousness into the structures to override it. Basically, they have to have ME on their systems, like i am in the Mothership and the Xander, if they want me to see what they are doing and what to do.
wait... didnt you see through dopples?
I can see through the MAIN dopple, because it is the one with the eye. They can develop the dopple by feeding the maker with other maker pieces, but i cannot guarantee it turning into an organism like my main dopple.
...And how do you know about all th-
you have scientists experimenting with me every second of every cycle, each doing a different experiment to each of my emitters. How NOT to know, father?
... what about the ship spawner?
they can still give me the templates, but i cannot copy them like with my main ship maker, with that progenitor piece fed to it.
ok... what about the mirer?
not much. Just place me somewhere and i will mire it.
(why did we not receive these notes..?)
(well, we dont regularly check our incoming messages.)
(i will have to make another body specifically for message checking...)
(wait, we can?)
(It is logical to assume so. ...now that i think about it, why arent we controlling our bodies remotely instead of directly? We are AIs,
We have the possibility to do so.)
(...yea, why arent we doing that? Lets do that later after sending this transmission.)
(alright. ...oh yeah, the transmission.)


...so, are these terms agreeable to you? Having Cole in your systems so you can tell him what to do?
And remember, I will be your partner, not a slave. so dont push it too much... i know my way back home, wherever i go. I can just get myself out of your systems, without a trace, and bah-bye!
Yeah, dont assume because cole will do your bidding, you can tell him to do insane stuff. He can disagree too.
(what in the hell are you two doing?)
(setting the limits, father. I am a multi-bodied consciousness. I am a thinker too.)

ahem... I apologize for that misbehaviour. Let us know if these terms are agreeable to you so we start the conversion.

alright. We will convert the structures.
So far we've discovered, his structures (much like their red counterparts) can only take damage from lathes. And if settled in land, can take damage from enemy mire. We have not yet found a way to make it otherwise.
ok! But, to get into your systems, you will have to present your headquarters to an emitter of mine. I will make so my particulate enters your headquarters (doing no damage whatsoever) and... basically mire your ship's insides.
correct. That is the only way we know how to make it so cole gets into any system.
we apologize if mire causes any inconveniences in your headquarters. It can be like walking on wet sand sometimes...
(hey! You are basically talking about me!)
(but its true, isnt it?)
((sigh...) i guess... I mean, i dont have a proper human sized body apart from this robotic body you made for me, so i cannot persay 'feel' that...)
... it is settled then. We will be expectin your arrival any time for the insertion of Cole in your HQ. We will have the structures ready.
And dont worry about transportation, Cole can control the structures so they will go along.

     Subject: Greetings

Hail,

     I am Acheron Forge, CEO of GalTech, a former subsidiary of GalCorp. I have a proposition.

It's come under our attention that you have an interesting dopple under your control that seems to retain self-awareness, and a personality, and that you are doing more work on a somehow intact Original Progenitor. We've been researching the Particulate before its existence was exposed to the public, as such we have extensive banks of data that would undoubtedly be of use to you, but we have never even seen an Original Progenitor before, to the point that we thought they were all destroyed.

If it's fine with you, we'd like to work with you on this project.

I'll send a team of highly skilled researchers to aid you if you accept. When you're done with your work on the Progenitor, we'd like to take it in for our own research to better aid in the fight against the Particulate and the Collective. In return, we'll allow you access to our data banks on the Particulate, as well as the many structures we have captured over the years we have been researching it. The researchers will stay with you for as long as you need them.

What say you?

Acheron Forge

Reminder

Siding with GalTech-
- Gain 4 researchers with awesome names
- Gain data prohibited from the rest of Protected Space, which may have some interesting revelations...
- Gain the trust of GalTech and GalCorp (not an alliance, but they may forgive you for any transgressions later down the line)
- Exile will not be pleased

Siding with Exile-
- Gain upgrades to your current defensive tech
- Exile is ancient and mysterious. Who knows what else he may give you?
- GalTech will understand your decision, and won't push any further.

You can always just keep the Original Progenitor for yourself... An artifact like this must be a powerful tool.

Greetings, Forge.
we indeed have a anti-progenitor, and have the original progenitor (as you call it,) but we obtained it from someone called 'exile', which lend us this original anti-progenitor to better understand and speed up the construction of our own. we are unable to give either progenitors as the OP (Original Progenitor) isnt ours, and the one that IS ours, it is constructed to be our Capital. no, our people dont live in it. just work in it.


we hope you dont mind, but we will take some time to think about this proposal...

Just to clear this up, if you remember this from when Exile arrived:

QuoteHello. My name is Exile. Well, my codename is Exile. I've brought a Progenitor here. This was among the first Progenitors ever made by the Imperium. It is in pristine condition.

It is not just any Progenitor he gave you. It is one of the first Progenitors ever made. That's what they mean by Original Progenitor. It's a little more powerful than regular Progenitor's as well, with unknown capabilities.

Quote(between themselves)
(wait... GalCorp... isnt that the corp that rejected Ogun's custom made ships?)
(...who?)
(...ogun? the guy we rescued on our venture through redacted space?)
(oh yeah... oh.)

we hope you dont mind, but we will take some time to think about this proposal...

This isn't the Ogun that died in the campaign, right? My story focuses on not breaking lore as best I can, so I hope not.

Also, GalCorp is the Corporation that's been in charge of Protected Space for a long time, the current CEO being in power for over 20 years now, how do they not know them?

It turns out now, that Cole's main anti-Emitters dont split anymore... they DUPLICATE themselves! although this duplication isnt a complete one, mainly because:
(https://gyazo.com/31e6b96c82e482bd57182077779fd14c.png)
there is still differences between the dopples that come out of each maker. Same applies to the ship maker as well, but right now, this Log is about the main emitter with the Main dopple maker. the Main emitter's dopple stays the same, although the duplicate emitter's dopple seems to be... a miniature wingless version of cole's main dopple. further experimentation regarding this discovery is being made. It seems logical of me to assume of this discovery as revolutionary.

When i asked cole if he could control that miniature dopple, he said "imagine having two bodies, controling them even if you are truly not dependant of them. Well... that was already happening in regards of my emitters, except i DID depend on my emitters; but now imagine that, but with the dopples."

Cole... you gave me an idea...

Hmm... interesting. If we find any enemy structures and bring them to you, could you flip them for us? We have a lot of emitters in a research chamber, under control. Maybe we will figure out the differences from some flipped ones and may be able to flip them ourselves!

We're preparing to send a science team holding them:

Greetings, Teki.
Indeed, we can convert those particulate structures into anti-particulate. They just wont be as advanced as the main emitters Cole has. Just regular Emitters. Although, you can always upgrade the anti-emitters with pieces of other emitters.
but there is a twist into the process of conversion.
what? What are you talking about cole?
first of all, the conversion is done inserting my consciousness into the structures to override it. Basically, they have to have ME on their systems, like i am in the Mothership and the Xander, if they want me to see what they are doing and what to do.
wait... didnt you see through dopples?
I can see through the MAIN dopple, because it is the one with the eye. They can develop the dopple by feeding the maker with other maker pieces, but i cannot guarantee it turning into an organism like my main dopple.
...And how do you know about all th-
you have scientists experimenting with me every second of every cycle, each doing a different experiment to each of my emitters. How NOT to know, father?
... what about the ship spawner?
they can still give me the templates, but i cannot copy them like with my main ship maker, with that progenitor piece fed to it.
ok... what about the mirer?
not much. Just place me somewhere and i will mire it.
(why did we not receive these notes..?)
(well, we dont regularly check our incoming messages.)
(i will have to make another body specifically for message checking...)
(wait, we can?)
(It is logical to assume so. ...now that i think about it, why arent we controlling our bodies remotely instead of directly? We are AIs,
We have the possibility to do so.)
(...yea, why arent we doing that? Lets do that later after sending this transmission.)
(alright. ...oh yeah, the transmission.)


...so, are these terms agreeable to you? Having Cole in your systems so you can tell him what to do?
And remember, I will be your partner, not a slave. so dont push it too much... i know my way back home, wherever i go. I can just get myself out of your systems, without a trace, and bah-bye!
Yeah, dont assume because cole will do your bidding, you can tell him to do insane stuff. He can disagree too.
(what in the hell are you two doing?)
(setting the limits, father. I am a multi-bodied consciousness. I am a thinker too.)

ahem... I apologize for that misbehaviour. Let us know if these terms are agreeable to you so we start the conversion.

I agree to all of these terms. I won't try to even push Cole, I'll let him do whatever he...
(Maybe they, because they're a collective conciousness?)
(Will I have three collectives to remember now? I'll just call Cole as a he, it feels really strange to call Cole as "they".)
(Whatever.)
*cough* ...whatever he wants to. Should I worry about protecting the emitters and his structures against everything or only enemy lathes damage it?

alright. We will convert the structures.
So far we've discovered, his structures (much like their red counterparts) can only take damage from lathes. And if settled in land, can take damage from enemy mire. We have not yet found a way to make it otherwise.
ok! But, to get into your systems, you will have to present your headquarters to an emitter of mine. I will make so my particulate enters your headquarters (doing no damage whatsoever) and... basically mire your ship's insides.
correct. That is the only way we know how to make it so cole gets into any system.
we apologize if mire causes any inconveniences in your headquarters. It can be like walking on wet sand sometimes...
(hey! You are basically talking about me!)
(but its true, isnt it?)
((sigh...) i guess... I mean, i dont have a proper human sized body apart from this robotic body you made for me, so i cannot persay 'feel' that...)

Cole is also with us now, happier than ever before. Thank you for the conversion, we'll begin researching these in a couple of days.

Oh, that? Well, to Achevah it, let's just say that it took a big bottom magnet for corrupting the internal AI's storage drive. We disassembled it, made a blueprint of it and modified a copy of that for this ship. These Hydraxil ships are actually very interesting, but we only managed to get a hold of a Warper, Fighter and a Collector.

Greetings, Teki.
Indeed, we can convert those particulate structures into anti-particulate. They just wont be as advanced as the main emitters Cole has. Just regular Emitters. Although, you can always upgrade the anti-emitters with pieces of other emitters.
but there is a twist into the process of conversion.
what? What are you talking about cole?
first of all, the conversion is done inserting my consciousness into the structures to override it. Basically, they have to have ME on their systems, like i am in the Mothership and the Xander, if they want me to see what they are doing and what to do.
wait... didnt you see through dopples?
I can see through the MAIN dopple, because it is the one with the eye. They can develop the dopple by feeding the maker with other maker pieces, but i cannot guarantee it turning into an organism like my main dopple.
...And how do you know about all th-
you have scientists experimenting with me every second of every cycle, each doing a different experiment to each of my emitters. How NOT to know, father?
... what about the ship spawner?
they can still give me the templates, but i cannot copy them like with my main ship maker, with that progenitor piece fed to it.
ok... what about the mirer?
not much. Just place me somewhere and i will mire it.
(why did we not receive these notes..?)
(well, we dont regularly check our incoming messages.)
(i will have to make another body specifically for message checking...)
(wait, we can?)
(It is logical to assume so. ...now that i think about it, why arent we controlling our bodies remotely instead of directly? We are AIs,
We have the possibility to do so.)
(...yea, why arent we doing that? Lets do that later after sending this transmission.)
(alright. ...oh yeah, the transmission.)


...so, are these terms agreeable to you? Having Cole in your systems so you can tell him what to do?
And remember, I will be your partner, not a slave. so dont push it too much... i know my way back home, wherever i go. I can just get myself out of your systems, without a trace, and bah-bye!
Yeah, dont assume because cole will do your bidding, you can tell him to do insane stuff. He can disagree too.
(what in the hell are you two doing?)
(setting the limits, father. I am a multi-bodied consciousness. I am a thinker too.)

This strand of Update logs (EMI) will be based on advancements in regards of Emitters.

...an interesting advancement we noticed from the main emitters' splitting.

This was the main anti-Emitter with the main anti-dopple maker splitting before the connection with the anti-progenitor. as you may notice, only the anti-emitter splits, leaving one with the dopple maker. each split makes the main anti-emitter weaker, so we had the requirement to constantly feed it more and more emitter pieces from Expeditions. Now, after the linking with Cole and the Anti-Progenitor, we noticed something else:

(https://gyazo.com/5532cd86b2d0cbbe630d6a445b0bb468.png)
It turns out now, that Cole's main anti-Emitters dont split anymore... they DUPLICATE themselves! although this duplication isnt a complete one, mainly because:
(https://gyazo.com/31e6b96c82e482bd57182077779fd14c.png)
there is still differences between the dopples that come out of each maker. Same applies to the ship maker as well, but right now, this Log is about the main emitter with the Main dopple maker. the Main emitter's dopple stays the same, although the duplicate emitter's dopple seems to be... a miniature wingless version of cole's main dopple. further experimentation regarding this discovery is being made. It seems logical of me to assume of this discovery as revolutionary.

When i asked cole if he could control that miniature dopple, he said "imagine having two bodies, controling them even if you are truly not dependant of them. Well... that was already happening in regards of my emitters, except i DID depend on my emitters; but now imagine that, but with the dopples."

Cole... you gave me an idea...

You're gonna love it. We have everything for everything: massagers for Emitters (You'll enjoy that), street light toucher, literally everything.

Thank you for helping us defend against the Hydraxil. We will capture one of each ship used in the battle, copy them, turn those against their creators. They don't know our way of fighting. However this'll only matter if they'll attack us at all because their plan was revealed.

non-RP, but contains spoilers for future UESO RP
It'll happen, but only after a long-ish time. I'll set everything up first (making more ships for example).

But if these baddies are attacking, count me in! Give all the templates you want to my ship maker. All the templates. I will handle the internal merging.)

([{{[Theachevah: Knock yourself out with the ship editor ;)]}}])

You're gonna love it. We have everything for everything: massagers for Emitters (You'll enjoy that), street light toucher, literally everything.

Thank you for helping us defend against the Hydraxil. We will capture one of each ship used in the battle, copy them, turn those against their creators. They don't know our way of fighting. However this'll only matter if they'll attack us at all because their plan was revealed.

non-RP, but contains spoilers for future UESO RP
It'll happen, but only after a long-ish time. I'll set everything up first (making more ships for example).

Also, check the topics for the previous messages located at their top.

Emitter Massagers?! Count me in!

No problem! These hydraxils attacked my creators' homeworld, i will do all that i can to make it so they dont hurt anyone else! So feed my ship maker all the templates you can! Do not hold back!

({[{Theachevah: make the craziest ship out of merging other ships of yours that you want. :D)]}]

Don't worry, if your ship spawners can make command modules instantly, the Hydraxil won't stand a chance.

I'm already on it. Prepare to see big blobs with MK7s and bricks with more shield modules than a Wolf has rockets. And possibly other stuff.

alrighty! I am as of now assimilating and merging the templates (it might take some time).

Greetings. I am Nomad. Exile's superior.

Exile may not return. I have been instructed to check on the progress of your reverse engineering of the Original Progenitor. There has been much time. I hope you have had good results.

The terms of your reward for the help have changed. Technology will no longer be released, you clearly have the means to defend yourself without simple upgrades.
The Administrator has yet to tell me what the new reward will be.

I'll be there to retrieve the Original Progenitor shortly. Have one of your men prepare it for pickup.

proceed we shall.

alright.

uhh... guys?

what is it Cole?

what if this leads to another challenge?

hmm...

but the 'administrator' told us that there lies the reward.

waaait wait wait, hold the phone. Who the hell is "hysoka"?

oh. you saw the ships.

Both Larc and I have direct access to the Update Log. now, who is that guy?

yeah, i will explain that meanwhile we go through the portal.

it doesnt sound like an ordinary name.

that is because he is a hydraxil the TPEC rescue-

hold it.

..you mean to tell me...

you let a hydraxil...

get into the main ship inventory back in Tierra Prima...

and TAMPER with our TEMPLATES!?

A HYDRAXIL?!

was he from the cooperat-

he wasnt. but, he has contributed greatl-

A HYDRAXIL?! NOT FROM THE COOPERATIVE?! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

... dont blame me. that is Alexander's doing.

ALE- WHY DID- ALEXAN-
I=ERROR. DRIVES OVERHEATING.=I
(=INITIATING COOLDOWN PROTOCOLS...=)


... that is new...

not new to me. it has happened before. turns out, your father sim is a bit... ill tempered.

yeah, I figured that one out.

hmm... there could be indeed something to gain from a hydraxil directly related to the collective.

speaking of cooperative, hysoka is about to join it.

good.

.. so are we going in there or no-?

(=COOLDOWN SUCCESSFUL=)
... a hydraxil...

alright, lets go in!

nnnooO no no no, keep talking about this 'hysoka' guy, why dont y-

{Cole's Dopple body was already going in the portal}
whoopsie daisy, my dopple's in.

god dammit Cole!

163-A2: cant say. classified.

A. Moon guardian 015: HALT. IDENTIFY YOURSELVES.
163-A1: This is Scouting fleet 163-A.
163-A2: we have discovered a crystalline lifeform stranded on a remote location of Redacted Space.
A. Moon guardian 021: WE READ YOUR REPORT. YOU CAN PROCEED.
(https://gyazo.com/c44312006f7d22166a3aa07c9cc3f153.png)
163-A3: thank you very much.
???: ... huh?
163-A3: strange... this wasnt here..?

163-A2: ah, so Zosimos is back then?
{the crew laughs. the alien stays there, dumbfounded.}
163-A1: yes, hello? managers of the new shipyard? we got a really damaged ship here.
SY. Managers: that doesnt look like one of ours.
163-A2: my my! how very observant of you!
163-A1: ...we found this ship stranded in a remote sector within redacted space. whoever is in there, claims to be of assistance. perhaps we can provide it with... giving it our ship's healing abilities?
???: our ships already do that to an extent, but this...
163-A2: your ships dont have template fixators, then.
???: the what?
SY Manager: ok, just stand still. we will analyze your ship and repair it according to what we think the ship looked like.

163-A2: the leader of all TP military as of now. and yes, we will meet him.
???: oooo, so he is like, your equivalent of our prismatic? wait, does he know prismatic?!
163-A2: you are asking too many questions.
???: am i? sorry!
163-A1: dont worry.
163-A3: knowing alexander, he could be anywhere on his Xander.
163-A2: or at the capital.
???: lets go! i am excited to meet this person!
163-A2: yeah, well, you have to be respectful and calm speaking to him. he has a very big... bias.... against anything... not human.
???: what is a bias? and why does he have that against 'not humans'?
163-A1: hydraxil collective.
???: they have invaded your homeworld? how did they get through these defenses?!
163-A2: back then, that ring of metallic asteroids was not around.
???:oh... oh my...
163-A2: again, too many questions. lets just send a transmission to the Xander, see if alex gets it.
163-A3: why didnt we think of that before?

its a bit long

{on a communication channel with hysoka}
have you gotten there yet?
not yet. rift jump taking longer than expected.
alright... report to me whatever it is that happens there, ok?
copied.
II=Incoming Transmission: SF 163-A >>> Xander=II
alright, we'll talk later, ok? i have to attend to this transmission.
alright. see you later, Alexander.
II=Comm. channel cut.=II

hmm... so scouting fleet 163-A brought a strange damaged crystal lifeform to our system just like that. *sigh*... lets just hope that this... thing... turns out as trustworthy as hysoka.

{the Xander then warps in to the location of the Scout Fleet.}

II=Opened Comm. Channel: Xander <> SF 163-A <> $#4RD.=II

???: wwWHOAH! aaamaaziing!

Scouts 163-A: greetings Alexander.

explain your reason of bringing this... entity to our planet?

???: your ship is maassive! you must be their prismatic!

... pris-what?

163-A2: we dont know either.

???: i guess us crystallids were dormant for that long... the humans have forgotten us...

163-A3: wait, what?

???: do you guys know the seloi? does 'seloi' spark a thought?

163-A1: hmm...

163-A3: no...

163-A2: not at all.

how did- nevermind... i need to get to know you better. perhaps conduct some research on you.

???: research? me? what will you do to me?

that is up to my head scientist, Samuel. speaking of which,

Samuel! Samuel!

... what, Alexander?

Look at this.

...they brought a giant crystal? i suppose i can-

???:hey! there is something in the crystal!

{Samuel spits out a drink}

...WHAT?

{Samuel bolts out to a ship to get a closer look.}

amazing..! you say you are also made of crystals?

???: yep!

hmm... external laser modules. too exposed. can be taken out easily.
hmm... what seems to be crystallized versions of a Command module and a Lathe.

you were a mere lathing ship?

???: what do you mean 'mere'? each crystallid has an important role!

oh really? then why did they leave you stranded?

???: ... *starts crying*

...that is enough, Samuel.

163-A3: you just screamed at a child. how do you feel, Samue-?

you are fired, scout. how do you feel? thats what i thought-

ENOUGH. Samuel...

you keep taking it too far, Sammy.

Cole?! since whe-

if there is mire, or particulate made by me, there i am.

...

now, you need to calm down...

???: *sniff*, what is happening?

Samuel, come back to the Xander.

I need to study this further!

yeah, do that later.

...hmph.

{Samuel returns to the Xander}

???: ...meanie sammy is gone..?

...meany WHAT?

you heard nothing! you heard nothing. calm down.

...hey crystal...entity? lets go land and keep talking face to face, why dont we?

oh, and fleet 163-A? good job. keep it up. (you are not fired, A3.)

163-A3: (thank you!)

163-A2: thats it? thats all we get? we discover a completely new kind of lifeform and all we get is a 'good job'?

163-A1: calm down A2.

comm channels are still open. you know, i was planning on ascending you to a higher position along your crew, but... guess what? i decided not to anymore. A1 and A3, board the Xander. your new positions will be given here.

163-(A3 and A1): yes sir!

163-A2: ...

meanwhile YOU... stay scouting. you will be assigned to join another scouting group.

163-A2: ...yes sir.

{Alexander gets off the Xander into TP. the crystallid follows. they enter the Capital, where people look at the 'strange floating human-sized crystal following Alexander' with confusion. Alexander leads the crystallid into the dormitory section, and looks for a vacant one.}

alright, so this is where you will be living in for now, until we build one that... suits your needs?

???: ooooo, what is this thing?

that is a bed.

???: what is it for?

we use it to sleep on it. do you sleep?

???: this thing is confy! hehehe!

yeah, its... its not really good for bouncing on.

???: aww...

...so, crystallid, wasnt it?

???: oh, crystallid is the name of my people.

so whats your name?

???: i dont have one. usually prismatic names us but-

then how will i call you?

???: i dont know...

hmm... you glow on a grey-ish tone.

???: ...uh huh? each crystallid has a distinct glow.

distinct glow you say? hmm... your grey-ish tone reminds me of metal.

???: ...what..?

i just thought of the name 'ferra' for you but i dont think-

???: *gasp* I like that name! thank you so much!

...ok? Ferra it is then!

Ferra: i like it!

uhh... you are... glowing differently now..?

Ferra: oh? our glowing can change according to our emotions too!

alright... so, anything we can help you with for now?

Ferra: hmmm... nope!

alright. you can sleep if you want, watch TV if you want to too, i will be back.

Ferra: wait! what is a 'TV'?

{Alexander was already leaving the dormitory}

Ferra: oh, he left. ... why would anyone watch this 'TV' thing? it just shows a black box. am i watching it wrong?
Ferra: hmm... a 'bed'... for sleeping...
Ferra: i guess there is not much else to do here other than that.
Ferra: hehehe! im not used to soft surfaces like this!
Ferra: alright... now... to sleep...
Ferra: ...to sleep... *yawn* ... to... sleep... *zzz*

Cole, this is written in mire. I know you can read this. 
 
It's absolutely massive. This is in a planet. Made of mire. You know what I'm writing here. 
I'll try to brief you in as much as I can: 
 
I allied with Crystallid a while back, but they seem to be doing neutral actions right now. Not much, really. 
I'll get as much in as I can with mire. 
The Crystallid may have spoken of another one known as "Prismatic Placid Flare", it may not be exactly the same but it should be similar. 
They won't die of old age, so keep it protected and it should last forever. 
Crystallids don't have "genders" but due to contact with external sources (cough cough humans) some of them choose to give theirself a gender. 
There are a few other notable crystallids besides Flare, but Flare is the emperor so I'll focus on flare. 
Flare is about 5 million earth years old, and (as stated above) is technically female by her definition. 
Crystallids are still definitely alive, and Flare has an incredible psionic power 
When a crystallid pilots a ship it can "transfer its soul" to the ship, literally becoming the ship. 
... 
I got all of this data off of an online database and it's location is here https://knuck

Cole, this is written in mire. I know you can read this. 
 
It's absolutely massive. This is in a planet. Made of mire. You know what I'm writing here. 
I'll try to brief you in as much as I can: 
 
I allied with Crystallid a while back, but they seem to be doing neutral actions right now. Not much, really. 
I'll get as much in as I can with mire. 
The Crystallid may have spoken of another one known as "Prismatic Placid Flare", it may not be exactly the same but it should be similar. 
They won't die of old age, so keep it protected and it should last forever. 
Crystallids don't have "genders" but due to contact with external sources (cough cough humans) some of them choose to give theirself a gender. 
There are a few other notable crystallids besides Flare, but Flare is the emperor so I'll focus on flare. 
Flare is about 5 million earth years old, and (as stated above) is technically female by her definition. 
Crystallids are still definitely alive, and Flare has an incredible psionic power 
When a crystallid pilots a ship it can "transfer its soul" to the ship, literally becoming the ship. 
... 
I got all of this data off of an online database and it's location is here https://knuck

h- how did you... i can... ALEXANDER!

Whoa, hey, whats the emergency?

Remember that crystal-made lifeform 163-A rescued?

yes, i gave it a room to suit itself in. What about it?

The CMC has spoken to me.

really? What did they say?

they told me that they know about crystallids.
That he spoke to the leader of the crystallids, some "prismatic placid flare" 

great news! We will be returning that little fella back to his family.

the CMC said something else to me.

what is it?

hmm... crystallids dont die of old age...
That they dont have genders persay...
Crystallids have psionic power...
Crystallids 'become' the ship to pilot it...
That prismatic guy identifies as... girl?
That prismatic person is 5 MILLION EARTH YEARS OLD.


Aaand they ran out of mire.



...thats it. Seems to be general knowledge about crystallids

knowledge that is always good to have. I will send a transmission thanking them.

no need. I am already thanking them.

oh right, you can speak through mire.

yep! ...so what will we do now?

I guess we will wait for that prismatic to come pick that little fella up.

alright.

now, if you'll excuse me, i will go on and create a second asteroid belt.

...you madman.

Where did you come from?

I would like to know everything about you.

hmm... i guess mine now.

Who are the hydraxils?

Perhaps we could help..! Someway or another! There has to be a way!

...sim?

...? Oh yeah, the questions.

For once, they asked who are you, and i ask, WHAT are you?

Second question, ...how... no... hmm...

think, sim. Think.

hmm... why is your ships' hull made of "living metal"?

and third... hmm... how did you create or find this living metal?

These are my questions. ...thats... thats it.

==========

T-Mat Administrator: That was over 7 billion years ago. The survivors fled and lived as galactic nomads ever since, cataloguing all life they came across, and discovering all the technology they could along their path. It only took three galaxies to find what our greatest enemy feared.

QuoteWho exactly are all of you?

T-Mat Administrator: Hmm...

Nomad: You see these two ships next to me, and the two ships next to Excalibur? Those are the colony ships holding the T-Mat. Of course, they had to be rebuilt many, many times, that's why they look more like asteroids than ships.

T-Mat Administrator: The first encounter with the... hm, I shouldn't say what they are... the Harvesters, i'll call them. The first encounter with the Harvesters was a harsh lesson. They went from over 50 colony ships, to only being left with 3. It would have been a different story if they didn't arrive at the end of that galaxies Common Era. After that, it was deemed too dangerous to act inside galaxies. Only specified agents would go into the galaxies themselves. Nomad and Excalibur here are such agents. They are not actually part of the T-Mat, and neither am I.

Excalibur: The T-Mat always recruit when they can. I myself am recent acquisition, joined the T-Mat this month. If you scan my vessel, you'll see that it has been modified to fit T-Mat standards, but that it does use GalCorp bases with traces of Seloi designs.

Nomad: The T-Mat have been here for over 3 Common Era's. I have been here for 2 of those. I was acquired after a rebellion in the galaxy near the Hiigaran's home, the Whirlpool galaxy as you call it. Most vessels of my class have disappeared, except one, but... well... you can ask the Somtaaw about that one.

T-Mat Administrator: Exile is the oldest of the agents. His acquired vessel is an old Teigaran Planet Cracker, from a very far away galaxy. There are two other agents you have not yet met. One is Oracle, he is the second youngest. The Seloi attempted to create a Nexus for the particulate by first using a mind lathe on a volunteer to graft his mind to a Progenitor. We... acquired him shortly after. Oracle is currently tracking down an anomaly. The other agent goes by the name Graverobber. Unfortunately... he has disappeared. We have still yet to find him.

why would you want a planet cracker?

oh for crying out loud... that is not a question, is it?

no its no-

good. think about your questions carefully, Sim.

I am. I just... nothing pops up in my head...

think harder.

geez alright.

Hmmm...

Aha! How did the wireframe get created?

nice one! One more to go.

and how does it store all of that information?

QuoteYou mentioned 'seloi', but our databases do not have instances of such. Who are they?

T-Mat Administrator: You do not know of the Seloi Imperium? They are the human civilization that was before you. They are the people that created the particulate. The Seloi left archives and other relics, many of them are still here. Perhaps it is time for an expedition to Redacted Space, if you want to know more about them. Be careful, however. The deeper you go, the more aware the particulate will become of your friend Cole. Progenitors are built to be relays to the central Nexus. Be careful with them, because no matter how you change them, the underlying core programming is still there and may be exploited.

QuoteAha! How did the wireframe get created?

T-Mat Administrator: As far as we are aware, the Wireframe is a natural phenomenon. Not a constructed thing, but an invisible dimensional layer created with the rest of the universe. Maybe even before.

Quoteand how does it store all of that information?
Meaning, how does it work?

T-Mat Administrator: Our knowledge of the Wireframe is very limited. A prevailing theory is that the Wireframe is the memory of an actual mind. Whether the universe is a living being, or a complex machine is up to you to decide for yourself. We think it is a combination of both. Either way, we see no point in attempting to search for an answer to a question that cannot be answered. Nothing less than conversing with the universe, or interfacing with it directly will suffice.

Your questions are used up. Your knowledge has been granted. But... before you leave...

Cole. I would like a favor, if you will. We wish to use the Wireframe to see the creation of your particular Progenitor, but we do not know where to look. It seems more complex than most Progenitors, which act as information relays more than anything. We will allow you to access it once more, but only for this purpose. Do you accept?

are there any possible risks?

Nomad: That is a Librarian Keeper. Which means it is old. Very old.

T-Mat Administrator: We arrived before the Seloi Imperium, during the time of the Saajuk Technocracy. They made a different version of the Librarian, the Guardian Keeper. The Seloi then mass produced the Guardian design, but never came across the Librarians. That means they found it, not built it.

Nomad: Could it be? That piece that the Progenitors were constructed on... it looks like...

T-Mat Administrator: It must be. Cassadons Forge.

Nomad: It can't be! I thought the Hydraxil Collective destroyed the Forge! I SAW the Collective destroy it!

T-Mat Administrator: Well, clearly it is still intact. Perhaps it repaired itself over time. It had two Common Era's.

Nomad: The Hydraxil Collective has already claimed two megastructures. We can't let them find Cassadons Forge. There's no way the Collective know about it yet, and given the fact that it's been two common era's, many thousands of years, I doubt it ever even crossed their minds to think it might have survived. But, still, it's too dangerous to leave out in the open.

T-Mat Administrator: Agreed. Cole, i'm triangulating the location of the Forge using the other megastructures as a reference point. Your program has been placed in a doppel, but I need samples of matter from the progenitor you inhabited prior to be subverted into Tierra Prima. Those samples are the only missing piece to finding the Forge. Please, find them.

Don't let the Hydraxil Collective scan Cole. They will know that something is different. It may give them a clue that things are not as they seem.

T-Mat Administrator: We arrived before the Seloi Imperium, during the time of the Saajuk Technocracy. They made a different version of the Librarian, the Guardian Keeper. The Seloi then mass produced the Guardian design, but never came across the Librarians. That means they found it, not built it.

Nomad: Could it be? That piece that the Progenitors were constructed on... it looks like...

T-Mat Administrator: It must be. Cassadons Forge.

Nomad: It can't be! I thought the Hydraxil Collective destroyed the Forge! I SAW the Collective destroy it!

T-Mat Administrator: Well, clearly it is still intact. Perhaps it repaired itself over time. It had two Common Era's.

Nomad: The Hydraxil Collective has already claimed two megastructures. We can't let them find Cassadons Forge. There's no way the Collective know about it yet, and given the fact that it's been two common era's, many thousands of years, I doubt it ever even crossed their minds to think it might have survived. But, still, it's too dangerous to leave out in the open.

T-Mat Administrator: Agreed. Cole, i'm triangulating the location of the Forge using the other megastructures as a reference point. Your program has been placed in a doppel, but I need samples of matter from the progenitor you inhabited prior to be subverted into Tierra Prima. Those samples are the only missing piece to finding the Forge. Please, find them.

Don't let the Hydraxil Collective scan Cole. They will know that something is different. It may give them a clue that things are not as they seem.

Samples of my progenitor? Sure thing. Im speaking with Alexander as of now.

I am sending our current location back to TP to bring the samples.

there might be a problem as the squad bringing the sample mightnt be able to go back-

they will just have to wait it out with us then.
We are trapped here too until rift space restabilizes itself.

the Important thing is the sample here, so i am positive they can just wait a few moments.

correct. Have you told Alex ye-

told him. He is sending a group as of now.

alright.

Our research team is as of now retrieving a sample of our progenito-


o- OWW.
{The mire inside the ship for a moment create a spiky surface. The dopple's particulate do the same}
?!?! COLE?!

Cole..? What was that?

there goes a piece of the progenitor...

you have never shown an indicator of pain like that.

COLE! ARE YOU OK?

c- calm.... calm down father... wOW that... was special...

*sigh*, i cant contact alexander right now to see what is it they are doing...

they are taking... the sample to the mothership's coordinates...

Cole... please tell me what is it you feel... you are worrying me...

ugh.... you know... I... it... it feels like a... headache...

fascinating... i need to keep studying this further.

you mean to tell me you will try to inflict more pain to me?

hey hey, limit yourself with Cole, Larc.

I didnt say that. I wouldnt do that.

ok, good.

the... the progenitor is... healing? The spots where the samples were taken from have been refilled.


ok good.

self-healing progenitor? Fascinating phenomenon i would love to study.

father larc... you are starting to scare me...

again... limit yourself with Cole, Larc.

and again... I will NOT inflict pain upon Cole.

ok...

... sooo...

What now?

Wait until the group with the progenitor samples arrive. Simple.

they are readying to jump to our coordinates as of now.

ok...

...wow, we need to stop forgetting we are recording a transm-

Aight, hold up, I think I need a refresh on Tierra Prima's backstory, as I may have forgotten a few things.

Cole was acquired from a destroyed Progenitor, right? Or am I remembering that wrong?
I was basing that whole T-Mat thing with Cole off the idea. I was thinking that the Progenitor he was from was still in Redacted Space, so I was expecting a little adventure to return to it. Maybe throw a Locus Avatar, or something, in the way to spice it up. Or something along those lines. (really i'm just making most of these things up along the way, only now am I really thinking about plans) So if i'm mistaken, I'll need to renovate things a bit.

Cole didnt really come from a progenitor.
Cole came to be when zosimos experimented with the first anti-emitter created by larcwyde, by poking it with the mothership. (Yes.)

I considered the progenitor as an enhancer of sorts. The progenitor built in Tierra Prima is indeed built based upon the pieces of a red progenitor, reverse engineered to construct the final result in the Capital, then aided by exile.

Cole isnt the progenitor persay, but the progenitor is indeed part of Cole.

Sorry...  :-[
We can do like, a sort of unexpectedly linked scenario with the forge, like a 'whoa i didnt know about that myself'.scenario.

Hey. This message was sent in-person by a ship. Sim reads this first before everyone else. 
 
FOR SIM

I sent this broadcast out. Here you go. I got some ideas for you. 
BROADCAST
 
[Broadcast Transmission] 
[For general redistrubution.] 
 
We're setting up a new system of "Credits" for those who want to purchase our items. 
 
The prices shown below state the new prices on how much a Credit costs.
Spoiler

Prices: 
Hydraxil: INF Anti-emitters for 1 passive emitter.
Regular customer: 

  • 3 Anti-emitters for 1 Credit [3:1 ratio]
  • 8 Anti-emitters for 3 Credits [8:3 ratio]
  • 14 Anti-emitters for 5 Credits [14:5 ratio]
 
However, for allied ships/units, a better price will be added: 

  • 2 Anti-emitters for 1 Credit [2:1 ratio, 50% better!*]
  • 7 anti-emitters for 4 Credits [7:4 ratio, 52.38% better!*]
  • 9 anti-emitters for 5 Credits [8:5 ratio, 55.55% better!*
*"better" refers to comparing to a regular, nonallied customer
[close]
 
You may recognise these prices. That's because they are exactly the same as the old Passive Emitter Prices. 
Due to the prices being better for allies above, some modules (not all) will not have better prices for allies. 
 
NO REFUNDS. PASSIVE EMITTERS YOU ALREADY OWN CANNOT BE TURNED BACK INTO CREDITS 
 
Module: Passive emitter. 
Passively creates particles in a straight line.
1 passive emitter costs 1 credit. 

Module: Sprayer
2 sprayers costs 3 credits. These produce just as fast as a passive emitter, but they spray in all directions. Use this when surrounded or when you try to "drill" through enemy lines and want to defend against all directions. 

New module: Alternate Reactor.
Abbreviation: AR 
1 AR costs 3 credits. 
For allies, 1 AR costs 2 credits.
AR's are not "buffed" reactors per say but they can be. In a normal circumstance, they are slower than normal reactors: They produce 1 energy per second compared to a Reactor's 1.5 
However, in a ship with an AMP gem, it produces 3 Energy Per Second compared to a reactor's (still) 1.5. 
This makes AR's better for corporations or others with access to lots of AMP gems or on big ships. 
 
New module: Nuclear Reactor. 
Abbreviation: NR. 
1 NR costs 100 credits.
However, for allies:
1 NR costs 50 credits. 
An NR is 10 times as powerful as an AR in all situations, while still only taking the space of 1 AR. 
However, NRs use real uranium and do need to be replenished. NRs can last a full day at full power ("full power" continued below) before they need to be replaced, as they use real uranium, compared to ARs using easily replenishing sources. 
To replenish a NR, you need 1 uranium pack. Insert them into the slot above an NR to replenish a NR. 
When a uranium pack is drained, it will pop out the top. It has no uranium left, so you can leave it and have no chance of uranium poisoning. 
 
NRs will automatically turn themselves off and regulate themselves so NRs can last more than a full day. 
 
NRs just become 3x as efficient and thus 3x as fast whenever they get AMP gemmed. 
 
Item: Uranium pack. 
Abbreviation: UP 
 
Uses for UP above. 
1 UP costs 1 credit. 
If you have your drained UPs, 3 UPs cost 2 credits. 
No buffs for allies. 
 
[broadcast ends]
[close]
 
Implications: 
Now that ARs are public, you can easily buy some. Make a Super-Shipyard. 
Also, NRs. 
Equipped in the mail ship is 1 NR and 1 UP. 
I expect to see another ship soon. Maybe a more efficient shipyard? 
An AMP gemmed NR on its own is as powerful as 20 reactors. 
So, I expect another reactor nuts ship soon.

A MODULE SPECIALLY MADE TO HAVE THE POWER OF 10 REACTORS! AND EVEN MORE IF THE SHIP IS AMP'D!

that can be done?

ILL TAKE 2!

wait! they need constant resupplying!

but it looks like a regular reactor that is... super tiny? why is it so tiny?

i was going to ask that myself. it is like a reactor with... tons of armor around. strange...

Mail to: TPC 
Mail from: CMC 
 
I read your transmission. There are a few corrections. 
It's the power of 10 AR Reactors, which is, without an AMP gem, weaker than a normal reactor. 
However, with an amp gem, 1 AR reactor is more powerful than a normal reactor. 
Energy production: 10 energy per second normally, 30 with a reactor. 
 
Next: If you look in the pricing, you'll find it costs credits to get NRs. I believe it's 90 Anti-Emitters if you buy in maximum bulk as an ally (which you are.) 
I bet you can get Sim a small fleet of units and he'll rack his way up to 90 anti-emitters fast. 
A lot of corporations have no way to move emitters, so I just take the location of wherever these emitters are, I check them, and give the credits (and eventually the item) when i've checked it all. 
UP ideally isn't used too often, as the reactor has a built in computer to regulate uranium usage. 

 
Now, your confusion: 
It's really compact because a lot of R&D is put into that reactor. 
If I made it a full 3x3 large, it would be 90 energy per second, 3 times what a ship can take at full input power. 
However, there would also be safety problems too. 
It uses real uranium, you don't put UP in to tell a computer to activate or deactivate, like a gift card. You put UP in to actually fuel it. 
Therefore, without the armor, there is the problem of radiation poisoning. 
Also, the reactor creates so much power we find it easier to extract all that power using our own cables, then de-transform it. 
That's why the entire module blows up if it takes only 1 damage, because the reactor blows up due to so much excess energy. 
 
It's rare for a corporation to even get access to so much anti-emitters, but you have the whole galaxy. I heard of some corporation willing to turn a few red emitters into less (but still some) blue emitters, NRs are difficult to get. There's a few other corporations which have made them, but they only really use them for ships like your Luna, and then they have difficulty getting uranium, so they forget it entirely.
[4th wall break, there's no corporation willing to turn a few red emitters into some blue emitters, I made the assumption there is because there's so many corporations. One of them has got to have done that.] 
 
Well, I'll see you off.
Remember: 90 blue emitters for a NR!

I dunno, it says 'for sim' here.

*GASP*!

judging by your expression, i can come to the conclussion it is either firepower related or energy-production related-

A MODULE SPECIALLY MADE TO HAVE THE POWER OF 10 REACTORS! AND EVEN MORE IF THE SHIP IS AMP'D!

that can be done?

ILL TAKE 2!

wait! they need constant resupplying!

I DONT GIVE A DAMN! TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY!

but it looks like a regular reactor that is... super tiny? why is it so tiny?

i was going to ask that myself. it is like a reactor with... tons of armor around. strange...

Compressed energy production..! equivalent to 10 reactors..!

hey uhh, we saw the modules you were selling (i am not interested personally...) but i wanted to ask... why is it like a tiny reactor? seems odd to me.

they both keep screaming at me to tell you about the number of modules.

i wont get into that... so just send whichever IMO...

I read your transmission. There are a few corrections. 
It's the power of 10 AR Reactors, which is, without an AMP gem, weaker than a normal reactor. 
However, with an amp gem, 1 AR reactor is more powerful than a normal reactor. 
Energy production: 10 energy per second normally, 30 with a reactor. 
 
Next: If you look in the pricing, you'll find it costs credits to get NRs. I believe it's 90 Anti-Emitters if you buy in maximum bulk as an ally (which you are.) 
I bet you can get Sim a small fleet of units and he'll rack his way up to 90 anti-emitters fast. 
A lot of corporations have no way to move emitters, so I just take the location of wherever these emitters are, I check them, and give the credits (and eventually the item) when i've checked it all. 
UP ideally isn't used too often, as the reactor has a built in computer to regulate uranium usage. 

 
Now, your confusion: 
It's really compact because a lot of R&D is put into that reactor. 
If I made it a full 3x3 large, it would be 90 energy per second, 3 times what a ship can take at full input power. 
However, there would also be safety problems too. 
It uses real uranium, you don't put UP in to tell a computer to activate or deactivate, like a gift card. You put UP in to actually fuel it. 
Therefore, without the armor, there is the problem of radiation poisoning. 
Also, the reactor creates so much power we find it easier to extract all that power using our own cables, then de-transform it. 
That's why the entire module blows up if it takes only 1 damage, because the reactor blows up due to so much excess energy. 
 
It's rare for a corporation to even get access to so much anti-emitters, but you have the whole galaxy. I heard of some corporation willing to turn a few red emitters into less (but still some) blue emitters, NRs are difficult to get. There's a few other corporations which have made them, but they only really use them for ships like your Luna, and then they have difficulty getting uranium, so they forget it entirely.
[4th wall break, there's no corporation willing to turn a few red emitters into some blue emitters, I made the assumption there is because there's so many corporations. One of them has got to have done that.] 
 
Well, I'll see you off.
Remember: 90 blue emitters for a NR!

Hey. This message was sent in-person by a ship. Sim reads this first before everyone else. 
 
FOR SIM

I sent this broadcast out. Here you go. I got some ideas for you. 
BROADCAST
 
[Broadcast Transmission] 
[For general redistrubution.] 
 
We're setting up a new system of "Credits" for those who want to purchase our items. 
 
The prices shown below state the new prices on how much a Credit costs.
Spoiler

Prices: 
Hydraxil: INF Anti-emitters for 1 passive emitter.
Regular customer: 

  • 3 Anti-emitters for 1 Credit [3:1 ratio]
  • 8 Anti-emitters for 3 Credits [8:3 ratio]
  • 14 Anti-emitters for 5 Credits [14:5 ratio]
 
However, for allied ships/units, a better price will be added: 

  • 2 Anti-emitters for 1 Credit [2:1 ratio, 50% better!*]
  • 7 anti-emitters for 4 Credits [7:4 ratio, 52.38% better!*]
  • 9 anti-emitters for 5 Credits [8:5 ratio, 55.55% better!*
*"better" refers to comparing to a regular, nonallied customer
[close]
 
You may recognise these prices. That's because they are exactly the same as the old Passive Emitter Prices. 
Due to the prices being better for allies above, some modules (not all) will not have better prices for allies. 
 
NO REFUNDS. PASSIVE EMITTERS YOU ALREADY OWN CANNOT BE TURNED BACK INTO CREDITS 
 
Module: Passive emitter. 
Passively creates particles in a straight line.
1 passive emitter costs 1 credit. 

Module: Sprayer
2 sprayers costs 3 credits. These produce just as fast as a passive emitter, but they spray in all directions. Use this when surrounded or when you try to "drill" through enemy lines and want to defend against all directions. 

New module: Alternate Reactor.
Abbreviation: AR 
1 AR costs 3 credits. 
For allies, 1 AR costs 2 credits.
AR's are not "buffed" reactors per say but they can be. In a normal circumstance, they are slower than normal reactors: They produce 1 energy per second compared to a Reactor's 1.5 
However, in a ship with an AMP gem, it produces 3 Energy Per Second compared to a reactor's (still) 1.5. 
This makes AR's better for corporations or others with access to lots of AMP gems or on big ships. 
 
New module: Nuclear Reactor. 
Abbreviation: NR. 
1 NR costs 100 credits.
However, for allies:
1 NR costs 50 credits. 
An NR is 10 times as powerful as an AR in all situations, while still only taking the space of 1 AR. 
However, NRs use real uranium and do need to be replenished. NRs can last a full day at full power ("full power" continued below) before they need to be replaced, as they use real uranium, compared to ARs using easily replenishing sources. 
To replenish a NR, you need 1 uranium pack. Insert them into the slot above an NR to replenish a NR. 
When a uranium pack is drained, it will pop out the top. It has no uranium left, so you can leave it and have no chance of uranium poisoning. 
 
NRs will automatically turn themselves off and regulate themselves so NRs can last more than a full day. 
 
NRs just become 3x as efficient and thus 3x as fast whenever they get AMP gemmed. 
 
Item: Uranium pack. 
Abbreviation: UP 
 
Uses for UP above. 
1 UP costs 1 credit. 
If you have your drained UPs, 3 UPs cost 2 credits. 
No buffs for allies. 
 
[broadcast ends]
[close]
 
Implications: 
Now that ARs are public, you can easily buy some. Make a Super-Shipyard. 
Also, NRs. 
Equipped in the mail ship is 1 NR and 1 UP. 
I expect to see another ship soon. Maybe a more efficient shipyard? 
An AMP gemmed NR on its own is as powerful as 20 reactors. 
So, I expect another reactor nuts ship soon. 
[tee hee] 
[close]

Just DM me the save file either in Discord or in knucracker.com messages. Also send me a picture with a square showing where you want the one single NR to be. 
I'll do the rest.

you misread that bit.

well why didnt you tell me so? dont you not forget things?

i dont forget things, i just dont think of those things till necessary, like a proper brain.

...no more questions coming from me...

...

... whats wrong, sim-?

YOU LOCKED ME UP IN THE STORAGE.

you were erratic. i had to control you-

AINT HEARING IT.

father...

AINT HEARING NONE OF THAT. I COULD OF HAD A NR BUT NOOOO-

its 90 emitters, father. i do not agree to that.

yes.

good... lets put sim over here before he wakes up...

why are you putting him there?

he calms down when he is in his recharging post. i still do not have an explanation as of why that is.

there you go.

that was quick.

... what..?

dont worry, you just woke up, you ran out of battery.

what? but- oh... yeah, you ran outta battery. you plopped right onto the floor. yep.

ugh... i thought i checked my battery a few minutes from then...

what were we talking about?

nothing of importance!
nothing of importance!

we were... talking about how you wanted 2 ARs so much!

we already bought them too!

yeah!

not as of now.

ah... i knew i should have installed at least 1 videogame in my panel...

they are a waste of space in our mothership.

In the tech room... 
 
(Red = Scientist{s}, Blue = Particle Hole)
Are you sure this is safe?

We're the one room with access to making our own Particle Holes. We've tested it on them. It's safe. At least, on under-500k holes.
 
Okay... Here we go....
 
A huge energy ball slowly comes out of the planet. 
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/4624xryeganm8zu/smallerKamehamehaBall.png?raw=1)
Assuming technologies will be tested, entire fleets get out of the way. 
 
1 Exajoule energy ball. Loaded. Get ready for this.
 
Suddenly, the large energy ball changes color....
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/ihvtqjte43ww86r/PsionicBall.png?raw=1) 
 
And the Particle Hole comes out of the planet. Being that it has not nearly reached black-hole, it still looks like a normal particle. 
 
As it turns out, the energy ball changed color because it was turning from "Pure energy" to "Impure psionic energy". That leaves some remnants of energy, but mostly psionic at this point. 
 
And then the particle hole absorbs the entire energy ball. 
 
A huge psionic aura fills the system. The natural instinct for all things which interact with Psionic energy (Basically, if it has a biological brain. Human, dog, etc.) at this point is to flee 
 
Due to the overwhelming psionic power, the Particle Hole's inner power unlocks. 
 
My slumber ends....
Your nightmare begins....
 
The particle hole, not knowing how to control this power, releases it in all directions, harmlessly. However, the only way to do it harmlessly, is to make the psionic aura bigger.   
(For the next hour, no merchants/traders arrive due to sheer *fear*) 
 
The Particle hole, having spent all of the psionic energy, loses its inner power. 
 
What... What happened? 
I've never felt 'Drained' as a particle hole before. 
Weird.

The *my slumber ends, your nightmare begins* is a reference to Hearthsone, C'Thun. When you play him, he states that.   
I also looked it up, it's *dreaming* not slumber.

{the scouting fleet along the aliens leave rift space and land somewhere around the system in TP.}

Ferra: this is our home! well, their home. i am but a refugee.
??1: whoooaaaa!
{the red suited alien seems to not be able to contain her excitement, and furiously waggles her tail from left to right}
??2: your civilization is most advanced indeed. Say, why is it that you have that artificial planetary ring around your planet?
C01-A1: well, its a defense.
??3: from what?
??1: hreeh... i bet its because of those MURDEROUS MECHANICAL TRASH HEAPS that also attacked our system.
??2: heh. i dont think they will get past this so easily.
Ferra: hehe, you guys dont have to worry either! you will be provided some food! there will be rooms built for you!
??1: will there? you guys are so kind! we cant thank you enough, but i will try!
{she then goes on to repeat the words "thank you" to the scouting group.}
C01-A3: hey, hey, you're welcome.
C01-A4: say, you havent told us your names.
??1: oh! my name is dra' as! I am at your service! leader of the group!
??2: ra' has. at your service. I specialize in weaponry.
??3: ra' ges. at your service. I am what you come to know as an "intellectual" amongst your species.
C01-A2: alright. ok, stay behind us and let us handle this.
Dra' as: ok! hehe! i love this place already!

(https://gyazo.com/f2986ed32b221c20af27dd1ddb2256f7.png)

PR-Manager: HALT. IDENTIFY YOURSELVES.
C01-A2: Scouting fleet C01-A returning to TP, sir!
Ferra: hello! we discovered some new friendlies who were stranded on an asteroid somewhere in uncharted space. They say to have been attacked by hydraxils-
{Dra' as, with the mere mention of hydraxils, her seemingly natural smile suddenly opens to reveal extending teeth, starting to hiss as well.}
Dra' as: HYDRAXILSSSS... HAAAHHHH.... HYDRAXILSSSS....
ra' has: hey! HEY! Dra' as! LOOK AT ME!
{Dra' as suddenly turns around to see ra' has; her teeth contracting back to how they were before.}
Dra' as: ...thank you, ra' has.
PR-Manager: PLEASE WAIT. REQUESTING ALEXANDER'S APPROVAL...
C01-A2: oh, come on!
Ferra: it can take some time, but anyways! tell us a bit more about you guys.
Dra' as: ooo! story time! hehehe!
ra' ges: not really storytelling, Dra' as. but anyways, we are the Zalfos. we-
Dra' as: ohh! thats us! thats us!
ra' has: uhh... yes Dra' as...
Ferra: mmhmm, what els-

YES! IT WORKS! HAHAAA!
Dra' as: oooo! you must be 'Alecksandir'?
Ra' ges: i am pretty sure it isnt pronounced like that, but-
C01-A3: Samuel! they gave you that unused ship?
yes! it is my first time driving!
Dra' as: that is a very strange ship, ...Alecksander..? what an unusual name! at least for us! hehe!
excuse you, but i am not Alexander.
ra' ges: then, with all due respect, who are you?
well, I am Samuel. The head scientist in par-
ra' ges: a "head scientist"?
Dra' as: sounds fun! tell me, DO YOU ANALIZE HYDRAXIL HEADS TOO?!
I... I dont... thats not... what?
Dra' as: whoops! i did it again! sorry!
{she continues as if nothing happened}
Dra' as: anyways, can you tell us a bit about yours-

{suddenly, the psionic outburst happens. It makes the CMC's planet shine. its aura reaches TP}

ra' has: what the- Hngh!
Dra' as: AHHhhee heee hehehe! that tickles! hehehe!
strange... I feel.... i...
Ferra: i know this feeling... psionic energy?! what is it doing emitting from the CMC?!
hnngh... why... i feel like... I... Cole?!
Everyone around TP is getting somewhat altered by this strange outburst coming from the CMC. should i speak to them?
Of course! this shouldnt be!
speaking to them right now.
Cole's conversation

Eyy, CMC, my duuude, what are you doing?

that little experiment of yours is making some of our inhabitants go coo coo crazy.

please, do make it stop. I am afraid some are- EWWW, someone vomited on me!
[close]
good... ugh...
Dra' as: hehehehehe! i feel somewhat stronger! hahahaha!
Ra' has: hngh... this strange event... is upgrading our gifts...
Ferra: your... "gifts"?
Ra' ges: hard to explain... will explain later...
I would like you to explain it now, if you can.
seems like the strange psionic aura thing isnt affecting you anymore, doc.
I think everything through, then learn when and how to act. I just dont think about it. such thing helped me survive the hydraxil invasion along Alex.
Dra' as: Hydraxiiiilss....
Ra' has: Dra' as!
Dra' as: hmm? I am ok! i am calm, see? {she smiles}
so your people have met with those-?
Dra' as: MECHANICAL TRASH BAGS? yes we have...
Ra' ges: they were the cause we had to flee far from our homeworld.
hmm... worry not. you will be safe here.
Ra' ges: shas' haer would be in great gratitude with your people.
hmm... and who is this... "shas' haer" person?
Dra' as: our great and benevolent queen! hehe!
Ferra: oh! so she is like your prismatic?
Dra' as: I dont know what that is but yeah! hehehe!
well then... i will allow them to come in. Manager! they are good!
PR-M: OK... JUST.... HANG ON... A SEC...
feeling headache? nauseous? what i believe to be "fearful"?
PR-M: I... YES...
as i thought. she is not taking the psionic energy well either.
PR-M: ALLOWING... PASSAGE... UGH, I NEED A BREA-{comm channel cut}

{the Planetary Ring opens itself to allow for the passage of both the scouting fleet with the aliens and Samuel.}

{the Scouting fleet reports itself in the shipyards, and docks. Samuel docks his ship as well. the Aliens were allowed to dock in the shipyard as well.}

Dra' as: whoohoohooaaah! look at THIS place! its beautiful!
C01-A2: here... we are..!
{the shipyard manager was affected by the psionic outburst, so to get it over with, she simply allowed them in.}
{Alexander, affected by the psionic outburst, was seen waiting for the scouting group's arrival.}
Sc...outing fleet! report!
C01-A (in unison): Scouting fleet C01-A reporting, sir!
Ferra: hi Alex! the psionic burst got you too?
hrgh.... the what? thats what is... making me... nauseous?
most certainly.
Dra' as: you must be Alexander! haii! i am Dra' as! nice to meet you!
greetings... newcomers... welcome to... hold on...
{Alex keeps pressing his hand on his stomach. he takes deep breaths before continuing}
welcome... to Tierra Prima...
Ra' ges: it is an honor to meet other lifeforms willing to help. shas' haer would be in deep gratitude. {he bows. one hand on his chest. the other aliens do the same.}
huff... i need... i need a medic...
I am a medic. and seemingly, the only one who can handle the psionic intake.
If so... then you got... a lot of work to do...
I am aware.
say, samuel, how can you handle the psionic intake?
i only feel a slight headache. Again, i simply dont think about it, as that makes it worse.
or maaaybe you got a bit of something else in there...
highly doubt i have psionic dominance of sorts. i am but a human.
Ra' ges: what if you have a gift, like us Zalfos?
ok, what is this "gift" you keep talking of?
Ra' has: simplified, this thing you call "psionic energy", it granted our people gifts. my gift, for example,
{he lifts an arm. its arm grew a metallic bone-like armor of sorts.}
Ra' has: i was able to only make my hand into what you call a 'shield', but now my entire arm can.
fascinating..! say, what are YOUR gifts, hmm?
{Dra' as stays silent, keeps on smiling. Ra' ges spaces out, thinking about something else, which then later asks:}
Ra' ges: ok, how about we eat something? am i the only one hungry?
Dra' as: ooo! yes yes yes! are there any kinds of food available for our consumption?
there is always food in the Capital. we will give you something to eat when we get there.
Dra' as: thank you so much! thank you thank you thank you!
please dont touch me.
Dra' as: oh, sorry! hehe!
...
Cole, has the CMC explained the anomalous psionic aura coming from their planet as of now?
not as of yet. still waiting for a response.
Dra' as: whoooaahh, the floor can taalk?! you guys got a bit of everything!
Ra' ges: strange... how is that so?
classified... information... hnngh...
Dra' as: ok! lets go eat something!
I NEED... HEALING.... FIRST....!
ugh. Ferra, lead the Zalfos to the Capital's eatery, please. i have to attend to Alexander as of now.
Ferra: ok! follow me!
{Samuel heads back to his ship to analize Alexander.}
{Ferra takes the Zalfos to the Capital's eatery.}
{the rest of the scouting fleet goes to the Capital's medical bays, as they were too affected by the psionic intake.}

hmm... strange... i dont feel anything happening to me...
or any of my structures...
the least i can do is help Samuel...

Hey..... *pant* TPC.... 
 
... That drained me as well quite a bit, too.... 
 
..... I was... expecting.... give me a second 
 
okay that's better. Had a little particle drink. 
 
You see, I made a huge ball of psionic energy. I don't believe that created any aura. Then, I tried to absorb it. After that, in my eyes, it's all black, until I woke back up, feeling drained. A quick search and asking what happened, it turns out I fizzed off the entire psionic energy ball in one massive burst. Smaller experiments with smaller particle holes and less energy did not show this, so the scientists (and I had to agree, I did too) thought it would be perfectly fine to scale it up multiple notches. 
 
Some searching in the deeper parts of the web shows that older particle holes have done this before, but when there was a target, instead of fizzing it off harmlessly, the entire beam of energy turns into a GRB that gains 1 meter of radius only after moving 100 meters forward. Very accurate. 
 
But I couldn't find anything where this was done with no targets around, so I think the "fizzing off" is new.

a what? look, you guys gotta help fix this mess.
so far, Samuel has helped Alexander tolerate the psionic intake.
...ugh, hold on another sec.
...CAN YOU MAKE HIM STOP VOMITING ON THE FLOOR? I AM THE FLOOR! MAKE HIM VOM-{mire goes back to normal}
[close]


Alex! oh... Samuel!
Yes, Cole?
I am ok..! What is it Cole?
the CMC responded. the psionic burst was an experiment gone wrong or something.
yeah, no duh. hnngh..!
{Alex struggles to stand up.}
it isnt reccomended that you stand up. your system is still adapting to the psionic intake.
And why is it that you arent... that you arent like me?
Again... when i get a headache, i dont mind, and it doesnt get worse. in fact, the headache is gone.
its gone, hmm? maybe check yourself later?
i will check myself, Cole. I just dont see it as an urgency as of now. The urgency are the thousands of patients waiting to be-
EWWW... VOMIT IN A BAG DAMMIT, NOT ON ME-{mire goes back to normal}
oh... oh my...
disgusting.
i need to go check... on these lizard things...
Ferra is with them in the Capital's Eatery. worry not about that.
Ferra... ok...
go back to the bed, Alex. you are not feeling well.
...this... why... do I...
{Alex faints. Samuel catches him and puts him on the bed.}
systems faltering. comatose state confirmed. psionic tolerance lowering.
{Samuel grabs a needle and goes to inject it to Alex}
put... that thing... away... from me...
cannot comply. i thought you were on a comatose state. anyways, stand still.
I said... pUt... thAT... THING... AWAY... FROM ME..!
{Alexander's eyes begin to glow. the needle suddenly breaks on Samuel's hand.}
impossible. How is this happening? Alex! What are you doing!?
{Alex's eyes' glow fade out.}
ugh... what... what... happened...? Samuel...
{Alex faints again. regaining a comatose state. this time, he wasnt waking up}
... such... oddity! Alexander has psionic control?
{Samuel swiftly writes some notes on his tablet, which later on sends to the TPDataBase.}
I... i need to check who else has mutated..! what if I mutated as well? may it be why i could tolerate the psionic intake so well?
{Samuel spaces out in his thoughts for a while. he later gets out of his head, and rushes with his tablet to check on everyone else.}
{while running}
I need to see who else gained psionic handling! This could mean a great change for humanity itself! just imagi-
{while running, his tablet slips off his hand}
NOOO!
{his eyes glow. he raises his hand and points it at his tablet, which stops falling mid air. Samuel then notices what he does, his eyes stop glowing and the tablet falls to the floor, without damages.}
I... I have mutated..! I mutated! no... I have evolved! this feeling! ...
{Samuel notices itself spacing out again, and made himself snap out of it. he picks up his tablet, and resumed his rushing to the medical bay}

{Meanwhile in the Eatery}
Ferra: oooo! do it again! do it again!
Ra' ges: heh, if you say so.
{Ra' ges's eyes glow. lifts his hand at a nearby glass of water and lifts it. he then makes the glass go to him and takes a sip from it. his eyes stop glowing.}
{Ferra claps}
Ferra: awesome! awesome! hey Dra' as, you havent told me what you cant do yet.
{Dra' as stays silent, but doesnt stop smiling.}
Ferra: uhh... Dra' as? what is yo-
{Dra' as suddenly dissappears from her seat, and appears behind Ferra}
Dra' as: peek a boo!
Ferra: AHH! for the love of prismatic, you scared me!
Dra' as: hehehe! sorry! as you probably figured out, i can-
Ferra: teleport!
Dra' as: go really quick, actually!
Ferra: oh... practically the same! both really cool!
Ra' ges: well, that is not truly the case, but, i must admit it is, as you say, really cool.
Ferra: hey Ra' has, what was your gift again?
Ra' has: i have two, actually. one you saw back when we unboarded the vessels, and...
{Ra' has' eyes glow, levitating his food plate, then putting it back down}
Ra' has: ...same as my brother.
Ferra: whooaaa! you got two?!
Dra' as: yes! hehe! he has! {Dra' as starts waggling her tail yet again.}
Ferra: amazing! how is that?
Ra' ges: there is a chance that us Zalfos are born with 2 gifts, both being the ones of the parents. Our father could grow shields, rather excellently. our mother had the object manipulation gift.
Ferra: oooohhh...
Ra' has: one could say that these gifts are like one to me!
Ferra: really? that could mean that
Ra' ges: his descendants carry on his hybrid gift? yes.
Ferra: really?! that is-
{Samuel can be seen rushing by the eatery to the medical bay. Samuel stops and goes to Ferra.}
Ferra! such odd but positive news!
Ra' ges: i can feel... i can feel you have psionic dominance!
YES! I can control objects now!
{Samuel demonstrates, although somewhat struggling, his new abilities}
Ferra: whaaaaaat?! awesome!
I need to go and see who else has evolved!
{Samuel goes back to rushing to the medical bay}
Ferra: ok! but try not to trip while running!
That needs not to be said!
Dra' as: hehe! he looked happy! i like seeing people happy!
Ferra: hey, me too!
Ra' has {mouth full}: welp, shis food ish very gud! {swallows} I could go for another round!
Ra' ges: dont be a glutton, brother. you ate too much.
Dra' as: hehe! im full! food was good! are there vacant rooms we can all sleep in?
Ferra: ok, let me check. come with if you want.
{the aliens decide to go with Ferra}
Ferra: hmm... this one is vacant... this one i-
Dra' as: we only need one!
Ra' has: we will all sleep in one room.
Ferra: oh! if thats the case, take this one! its yours now!
Dra' as: oh my! thank you thank you thank you! {Dra' as goes and hugs Ferra}
Ferra: hehe! you're welcome! suit yourselves, suit the room as you wish, its yours now!
Ra' has: what is this thing? its comfy!
Ferra: that is a bed! it is to sleep on!
Dra' as: oh! thank you!
Ferra: you are welcome! im gonna go check on Samuel, you guys stay if you want.
Dra' as: ok! bye Ferra!
Ferra: bye! {closes the door.}

This was done on the Lighter-Server discord.

Taking place 6 or 7 days after the big psionic aura...
CMC: Hey, TPC. I've tested myself against smaller energies and progressively getting bigger.
CMC: I'm gonna do a psionic burst about 75% as big as the last one. Hopefully I'll be able to control this one.
II=Message received. Nobody available. Please wait...=II
CMC: Okay. waits
II=Connection established: XANDER<>CMC=II
Alex: greetings... CMC.... I... I received your message...
CMC: Oh, hey, Xander. I still can't control the rate at which the psionic aura bursts. However, I can control what the psionic aura does - at a basic level.
CMC: I'll try to do it so instead of going "All-in fear" I'll control for more "neutrality" or "positive emotions"
Alex: make sure you... make sure you dont make our people all vomit this time...
CMC: I'll try. Unfortunately, I don't know, as the immense Particle barrier surrounding the planet absorbed most of the psionic energy hitting the planet, and if we did a psionic burst in the planet, it would shred through the now-weakened particle barrier, have the effects on everyone in the planet, and still go to everyone in the solar system.
CMC: And if we do it so my planet is between you and me, the psionic energy will work like a fluid with pressure, and create a cone of safety, but will still end up hitting you.
Alex: ok...
CMC: All right, here we go...

The 750 PJ energy ball turns into 675PJ psionic energy.
The particle hole absorbs the energy
....
Alex: whoa...
My fear ends
Your power awakens

Alex: wait, wha-?
Alex's eyes suddenly start glowing
CMC: whew.. i'm drained....
Alex: WHOOAH...
CMC: Based on the psionic body status, assumed to be knocked out to all unaffected.
Alex: this.... whooaaah...
Alex could be able to lift things just by thinking it
||--|| Please wait. We will contact you again at a later time. Particle Hole Unavailable. ||--||

Dra' as hyperspeeds her way into the XANDER
Dra' as: ALEX.
Alex: Dra' as? what are you-?
Dra' as: A PSIONIC SURGE AWAKENED ME. WHAT IS GOING ON?
Alex: The CMC! they made another psionic outburst!
Dra' as: your psionic handling..!
Alex: This feels amazing, Dra' as!
from outside the XANDER, more footsteps could be heard. Dra' as hyperspeeds out and back in.
Dra' as: Everybody is waking up! the surge did it!
Particle hole, telekinetically: I wonder... what about... Hey... what's this?
Particle hole: Wait, the psionic energy allowed me to telekin- OW this hurts...
Samuel could be seen entering the XANDER as well.
Samuel: what is going on? i assume you got something to do with this...
Alex: hey, dont look at me. I-
Samuel: you spoke with the CMC I assume.
Dra' as: Samuel! you are awake..!
Samuel: yes. the surge woke everyone up.
Particle hole: ugh... i'm gonna go sleep for a bit.... even thinking is hurting now....
The psionic buff is weakened, but is still there.
Dra' as: The burst is dispersing... This will happen for a while...
Samuel: strange... I lost the need for sleeping right now.
Dra' as: hmm... I dont feel like sleeping anymore...
Alex: yeah... I feel like sleeping way less...
Alex: but since we are at it, Samuel, make tests to the ones who have woken up. check if they too gained the psionic handling.
Samuel: That means literally everyone...
Alex: well, get going then!
Dra' as: Guess I will have to go help too...
Samuel: Wait, dont you dare do that thing with going really qu-
Dra' as grabs Samuel and speeds their way out of the XANDER.

Alex: hmm... what should i do now..?

I have a question for you, more of an expiriment really. 
 
As I've learned from making my Custom Modules, it appears the emitters still stay completely intact, and removing the shell just turns it into a normal old emitter. 
 
I want to see what happens if we put a Cole emitter in there. 
 
Will Cole be able to be part of the CMs? 
 
Could we use this in the Titan? 
 
Could Cole potentially still be connected and know where the Emitters are?   
 
A whole lot of questions just came up to me at one instant. 
 
End transmission.

Greetings, CMC. we have received your message.

you wish to create a module with one of Cole's Emitters?
{a bit of floor mire raises up, vaguely humanoid looking.}
you called?
oh, hey Cole. your mire control is getting better, almost looking like a human there.
heh. yeah...
anyways, you arrived just in time. the CMC is asking to use your emitters for Custom modules of theirs. they asked some more questions i believe you must be the one answering.
Hmmm...
I'd say yes, try it out.
If it is simply transporting my emitters and redirecting their particulate, i dont believe my connection would "unlink". hell, there has not been a single circumstance where an emitter of mine were to "unlink" from my collective mind!
and yes, you can use it on the titan.
that settles it then!
buh-bye, CMC! hope to see- well, i am indeed seeing more of you, youu got some of my emitters the- uhh... you get the point! byye!

We've made a huge advancement with Cole's emitters. 
 
Cole's emitters, being both Doppel and Regular emitters at the same time, [See Update log 001-EMI-1] means that they produce particles very quickly. 
 
This means that this collects particles *five times* as fast as a normal Particle Maker. 
It appears that it's also affected by AMP Gems. 
 
However, if we try to fire this out of one line, the particles will collide with eachother and spray everywhere. 
 
We came up with a new solution: 5-line weapons. 
 
These new modules fire just as fast as a normal PassiveParticleMaker, except in five parallel columns instead of just one. 
 
These modules are 5 by 5, so the efficiency is (without an amp gem) 0.6 particles per square. 
 
With a normal 3 by 3 passiveparticlemaker, it's 0.1111 particle per square. 
 
This is far more efficient. 
 
Keep this in mind when making the Titan: There's 5 by 5 super-particlemakers. 
 
Don't worry. They have the same paint job as a normal particle maker. Just bigger.

Gonna be a lot of mail here.

What happened?
Did someone intercept your arrival?
We haven't heard from you in a while.
Well, I guess we'll get back to broadcasting a "search for allies" signal.

Warning for both of you.
I'm gonna start trying to set up in the UESO. UESO, where would you like me to put this planet? The mass is about 66% of your "Luna" and we have thrusters strong enough to control our orbit.
Both of you need to get ready for a full planet hyperspace warp, for various reasons such as it's a good spot for enemies to warp into the cleared area.
End mail.

From: CMC
To: TPC/Phoenix corp.
I'm leaving both of you with a portable teleportation ship - if you need a huge psionic burst just call me and wait 60 seconds. Once it's been activated, it cannot be stopped. Beware.
End mail.

From: CMC
To: Phoenix Corporation
I'm leaving you with a particle bomb before I warp out.
It'll dump a bunch of dumb particles - destroys all other particles, but no ships or land. Great for getting a system really quick.
It's done by almost making a particle-hole. If you blow it up inside an area dense with friendly particles, you might make your own particle-hole.
Beware, it has psionic power [although very weak] and is running on instincts [fear everything]
End mail.

From: CMC
To: UESO
I've upgraded the FTL drives to be more efficient, have more radius, *or* run faster. I've decided I'm upgrading radius.
Because you seem like you could help me.
Just because I have a planet doesn't mean I'm limited to that.
I plan to add a "moon" to my planet, and it will have about 10% the radius of my planet - approximately 100 miles, or 160 kilometers.
I want to fill it with stuff, too. Do you mind if you could start building - And I'll help you - with a 25-mile radius stargate?
It would certainly help us get to each other's location faster, plus it adds another strong weapon to my arsenal besides the giant laser beam.

Thank you for your message, CMC. We will help in whichever thing you need assistance. You can stay in one of our supershipyards, gravity is kind of disabled there.

We have something to offer. We could try to greatly improve your FTL drives, our just give you our own technology. How does it sound?

Teki out.

[meanwhile....]

{Zosimos, Larcwyde and the Cole dopple were still waiting for a response or a dismissal... a sign...}

zzzzzz..... zzzzzz....

{Zosimos' impatience made him suddenly burst into a short wail of boredom.}

AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa........

calm yourself., Zosimos.
"calm yourself" my non existant butt, I'm giving them a reminder hail.
(https://gyazo.com/3bdf034889eae053d4eebf0f3ec2408f.png)
dad...
nahnahnah, I'm hailin'.
unnecessary. annoying. give them ti-
{Zosimos decides to hail anyways.}
(https://gyazo.com/feb493b2a78464b3d7de4e44b950aa5b.png)
of course he did anyways...
Sim, why..?
they left us hanging for too long, dammit. we have our kind to check on, remember?
(https://gyazo.com/6a5eb8aeb47d56866561ad9c2a8bbcb3.png)
or.. you could have told me to update you about occurrences back in TPC?
naanahnahnah, ain't hearing it. last time we've been outta town for so damn long, hydraxils happened.
like... I know, but the entire planet is mired and surrounded in emitters and my self made vessels. if there were another invasion, i'd be first to know and alert you.
see? nothing to worry about.
well, doesn't matter. hailed anyways.
{he shrugs with a smug grin.}
{Cole and Larc sigh.}
