Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

"Any information we could glean would be worthwhile, considering our lack of knowlage on the cultists themselves. Give me leave, and I will try and get information out of the most willing of their number. And remember, in addition to my many talents, I am also an accomplished telepath."
Jen props her feet up on Jimmy's chair. "So, basically we have the keys to open up the cage on another corrupt angel, a load of uncooperative religious freaks, no offense Kruppe, and not a clue whether or not any of them actually know anything? Nice. Real good."

Jack scratches his jaw thoughtfully.
"This /20000 being. He's as old as /10000, but is still a subordinate? Cass, how DO angels establish their hierarchy? From what we've seen, their leadership isn't absolute. There are contests and betrayals. And for at least as long as they've been exposed to our dimension, they form individuality"
"The angels have a draw to them that we've seen people follow. They formed a goddamn army based on a cult of personality. All the angels seem to draw followers. Letting /20000 run free may be a mistake, but before he was locked away, even after he was locked away, /20000 shared this trait for attracting followers. Would they have tried to free him? Even futilely?"
"Would /2000 have allies? Surely someone would have been near him while he was caged. Or before he was locked away."

"Ahem! Bros, if I may?" Jayce says, "I think we're really over-thinking this shit, dudes. What are we doin' right now? We got a butt-load of prisoners sittn' under us that have just about zero brostage value and are maybe actually spies, bombs, or spies and bombs. Also there is the creepy super asshole bad-guys maybe watching us right now, or planning something mad brolicious. Or both! And our only lead is the mystical techno STD that kid picked up fingering the pope."
Jayce pets his pussy in a moment of thought.
"Yeah, I say we bum rush that place like a panty raid gone violent. Worst case, the bad guys attack us. Best case, we out maneuver them and pull a quarter-back sneak on their asses with some doomsday code from another dimension."
"Joseph is correct. Cultists reticent. Like not to retrieve information out of them, presuming they knew anything which is, again, unlikely. Saw how enemy sent them in. Conscripts. Know nothing. Suggestions of torture... unsettling. Inhuman, and proven to give poor information. Disgusted at the notion. Same for mind ripping, with no offense to Jimothy's abilities. There are methods we should not pursue. Inhuman methods. /20000? Hrm." Dusty's fingers drum on the table top. "Too potentially useful to squander. Recommend following the... beacon. Believe we are capable of handling hostility."

Mike winces at Jayce. "Despite his use of language, I have to agree with the shapeshifter, and with Dusty that we can handle them."
we're not friggin torturing people >
maybe act a little aggressive at the robot cultists, but other than that
Let me tell you about video games. Let me tell you about Homestuck
so.. both?
"While on topic: access to Cultist prison restricted. Too many complaints of troops taunting prisoners. Will only allow guards, doctors and their escorts down below. Guard will be cycled every week to reduce... incidents of poor judgment that accompany long tenures as wards."
She shrugs. Formation of cults around Angels a human phenomenon, unattached to the Angels themselves. It is uncertain if /20000 would have any allies, alive or otherwise. I could only access so much of MAIN's memory even when I was more wholly connected - I am largely in the dark now.

"iffin I might ask, why are we holdin on to them folk anyways? Seems to me if we let em go they might be mighty thankful"
-They have bases across the planet, including the one in Paris where most of these guys came from.
-They believe angels are the saviors of the planet, and will uplift humanity blah blah blah
-They practice meditation and peaceful living to better prepare themselves for incorporation.
-None of them know shit about /2000 or the like. Most of them refer to the various shells by angelic names, not task numbers.
-They believe you to be fighting to keep humanity from achieving peace and salvation.

"To answer your question, Nolan, we choose not to let these cultists go because many of them are in need of a psychologist, not to mention that they are extremely likely to reenter the enemy ranks."
Dusty flexes the fingers on his kevlar gloves, the faint scritch scritch underlying his voice. "/20000 appeared to have a spiritual leader, of sorts, on his side at one point. Cobalt named him as The Pope. The existence of other allies is plausible."

"Okay, so the summary is," Ash begins and holds up an index finger, "one, we know the virus can be weaponized, but we don't know how to do it properly." She holds up another finger. "Two, we know where the creator of the virus is, but we don't know if it's good, evil or something in between." Third finger. "Three, Cobalt knows just as much, if not more, than the cultists, so there's no point interrogating them and making them more pissed at us. We're trying to convince them that we're the better option, remember?" Fourth finger. "And finally, assaulting the Angels directly would most likely end very badly for us. At best, very badly for both sides. So!"
She pauses and puts her hands on the table, leaning forward.
"Unless we can find some way to get the upper hand, any fight we get into will probably be more bloody than we'd like. As much as I distrust how...conveniently the virus got to us, I have to admit it's the best option we have right now. We should search the place where slash-twenty-thousand is locked up, but we should do it very carefully. With any luck, now that Dusty and Cobalt are infected, they may be able to communicate with it remotely like Henry can with Cassandra. Then we may not have to actually release it. Kind of unlikely, I know, but it's worth a shot, right?"
WORDS!
except for the ones that, you know, shoot at us
