    Okay, couple of things I need to point out: One, it is considered to be bad form to post on old topics without a valid reason for doing so (meaning actually constructive or additive content, like an Omake or similar). General rule of thumb is that any topic that has lain dormant for around 30...

    The fix for that is already in the works, though actually pushing it though that is going to have some issues as well due to other issues and potentially politics. You know how it goes. In the end, Earth Bet...can survive, but the state it will survive in is up to question if you assume that...

    The generals are correct. You are off on some of the particulars, though. Houston Local PRT had certain members under orders from RCB to play games, and they won stupid prizes. RCB tried to claim the Package as Tinkertech to deny the Military any leverage, and failed to do so when Satori...

    That which the world had never seen before, the writings of a dreamer, the one named Slider. It has been over a year since the iwork was last seen. Now, aided by those who seek the return of the legend, the mighty Author has gathered his will again, and so the next chapter shall take place…...

    Yeah, I am going to retroactively say whatever on the necro. I get it, it's been a while, I apologize. Life is happening and being a bitch. As for the actual reply...apologies for taking so long to respond. So, Short answer in both Doylist and Watsonian D: Most of this was either planned or...

    Not going to quote people because I'm lazy. With respect to the Narrative: I have been informed by many close to me (and my editor(s) that I was slipping due to doing the unthinkable and trying to give legit respect to Worm where it was due. Biggest problem there is that, surprise surprise...

    Alright, this is part three of this chapter. I’m thinking there may be one more part to this before I finally move on from it. Also, slight rating bump because someone is a perv. Fair warning. - = | | | | | | | | | | = - Sometimes, all it took was a single pebble in a stream to create a...

    Call this a late addition if you wish. Anyway, here is an invite link to the Celestial Forge discord specifically my small little domain thereof. I am often available for questions and comments here if you wish to discuss anything regarding my writing or the plot. It is also home to some of...

    While Satori is not going to go overkill, he is very much going to start trying to break the back of this fucking invasion ASAP. Which makes it very fortunate that said back is actively focusing on him. Yeah, Lung is in for a Bad Time until he manages to escalate enough to burn them out...the...

    Surprise. Had some stuff going on IRL which delayed this, as well as other issues. You can thank Fourmyle and Xolsis for this getting out, as they were silently poking me to get moving the whole time. In a good way. Anyway, apologies for the wait. Behold, the Battle of Brockton Bay, as...

    Oh, it's going to get worse, especially if you understand the implications of just how large this attack actually was, and the number of Aliens running about. Remember, Anya was standing on a pile of 30 Chryssalids and got faced with another fifty just for her alone. Feel free to extrapolate...

    ...whoops. Forgot about that part. To be specific: The Ehtereals have insane psionic talent, to the point that the highest tier of Psi power, Void Rift, is exclusive to them alone in XCom EU/EW (until the final mission with the Volunteer, who is for plot reason as strong psionically as the...

    Depends on who you ask and what you are willing to qualify, which is why I said maybe three. One has already appeared in the story, as it's the one that is onboard the Speranza, which for reasons is not utilized. As for the other two...supposedly Trayzn the Infinite has one, being a packrat, and...

    So, the Van Saar STC is...special in that canonically we aren't exactly sure whats in that STC, only that it is far, far more complete than almost any other known STC in the setting. Only the (maybe) three known complete STC in the setting truly outstrip it. I have gone with one of the potential...

    Okay, this took forever and a year, mostly due to me rewriting multiple parts of it several times to work better. This is about as good as it’s getting without me tearing the whole thing apart again, and I am trying to avoid doing just that to prevent another delay, so here you go. - = | | | |...

    So, minor heads-up. I have updated the perks listing informational with the relevant perks up through the last dump (Chapter 29.) Those of you who were browsing through at the appropriate time may have seen me do something stupid and screw up the post, because Accordions and open spoiler tags...

    Key word here being if. Assuming that Android tech appears, there is no reason why Satori would not pursue it as a means of advancement. As for Super Soldiers...well, do remember that most super soldier programs are meant as wonderweapon-style "cahnge the fate of the conflict" deals and not...

    Umm okaywut. First and foremost, spacing. Return exists, and is intended to make reading things easier for people so they don't have to go through the insianity of dealing with a giant text block. Second, that stream of consciousness is hard as hell to piece through, and that was at a glance...

    *looks at settings chart* You missed a few, though admittedly the elements being used are few and far between for personal and storytelling reasons. As a side note: Please, do not be afraid to ask questions. The worst I am going to tell you is a non-answer for plot reasons.

    They are, however, currently the most dangerous, with maybe two exceptions who are deliberately not making themselves known. Also worth noting is that this is the raider attack meant to throw Earth's defenses (read: Satori) off-balance and buy time for the main fleet to arrive and wreck shop...
