"Um... how exactly do I wear this?"

>>23504943
"How do I spacesuit."

>>23504943
"So, uh, how does this work?"

>>23504943
Make sure we have our jetboots on too.

>The suits have built-in maneuver jets.
"Uh... guys? I've never used one of these before."
Anna sighed, rolling her eyes, and kicked off of a nearby wall, hooking her ankles into a handhold not near you. It was like seeing a gymnast in action, as well as in zero-g.
"First comes the mask." She said, slipping it on you, adjusting the band tight. "Then you do up the thermal underlayer, like this..."

She worked carefully, deliberately, obviously in her element. Some time later, you were suited, your helmet in your hands. Sarvesh, meanwhile, was slipping on the apron, strapping the jetpack-like device to his back. Summer was having trouble with just her paws, rolling around in zero-g, and Damien, also suited, started to help her.

Jilly twisted on a small silver armlet on, and gave you a look. Your suit's radio crackled, and a synthesized voice came through.
"You've never been in space before?" She asked, as she coiled up her tail and started to slip her own suit on.

>>23505057
"Up until yesterday I'd never even been off planet before."

>>23505057
"N-not in just a vaccsuit, no."

>>23505057
"I've been in space exactly once. The flight here. I lived on Heaven's Jewel my whole life."

>>23505057
"Well, I never really had the opportunity."

"N-not in just a vaccsuit, no." You say. "Up until yesterday, I'd never even been off planet before. I lived on Heaven's Jewel my whole life."
"Well, then you get to learn and do new things!" She said, and the lights on her suit flashed yellow, apparently controlled by her own skin tone.

Soon enough, after Anna finished helping Sarvesh readjust his own suit, Max turned back to everyone.
"You all ready?" He asked, and everyone gave their own affirmations.
"Good. To the shuttle we go." He said, and Anna kicked off toward a nearby door, while everyone else clumsily pushed or climbed their way there. Jilly's suit apparently had some strange wings on the back, propelling her forward. You weren't sure why, since such a thing wouldn't work in vacuum.

The shuttle itself was rather cramped, mostly because of Sarvesh, and Summer, and the flight was short.
"Okay, everyone." Max's voice said. "We're at the belt. Are your masks on and activated?"
You check the display in the corner of your eye, and yes, it was activated.
"Then here we go." He said, and the shuttle lost pressure, the side door opening.
>Field too long!

>>23505182

The sun was smaller, further away, it looked, with the station silhouetted there. The asteroid belt was all around you, rocks spinning and tumbling in place, moving at the same speed you were.
"Don't worry about being hit." Max said. "We have weapons platforms set up through the system, so no errant asteroids will show up and wreck things. Everyone.. turn off your manuvering systems, and let's see how you can get to the small brown asteroid - the one with the flag on it."
>Roll 1d100 for TK!

>>23505197
I guess the suits can withstand micrometeorites?

>>23505302
Plainly the targeting systems on th platforms are just that good.

"Alright." You say. "Here goes... something."

You close your eyes, hearing nothing but your breathing and the breathing of others through the radio, and you focus... and push yourself forward.
When you open your eyes again, you were soaring forward, into outer space, carefully, oh so carefully, nudging you down toward the flagged asteroid.

Max met you there, Anna already there, even without telekinesis of her own, and when you looked back, you saw Summer, Damien, and Jilly focusing, moving slowly, Jilly's four thin wings flapping uselessly in the vacuum.
Sarvesh didn't move.
He didn't move a muscle, his lower arms contained safely inside the apron tied around the point where his thorax and abdomen met.
You peered through his darkening visor to look at his eyes. There was something... wrong, with the look in his eyes, even as alien as they are.
He was terrified.

"You okay, Sarvesh?"

>>23505398
"Come on you can do it!"

>>23505432
>>23505439
Pulling him in isn't gonna help him do this.

Let's just try talking to him.

>>23505302
>It's a mix of 'they can withstand a few', 'any micrometeorites in the same orbit as the asteroid belt won't be any faster than them (and thus your own current speed)', and 'the ones with the elliptical orbits that could be a danger have been lasered away by the weapons platforms'.
"Sarvesh? Buddy? Talk to me." You say.
He responded slowly, his voice being translated into english as he spoke.
"... It's... I..." He said, trailing off.
"Come on. You can do it." You say.
He went silent again. So you reached out... and pulled. His feet scraped against the floor of the shuttle as you struggled. This much mass wasn't nearly as easy to move as moving yourself, but eventually, he soared down to you, slowing himself to a stop.

You heard him take a deep breath, before buzzing wordlessly in relief.
"... Is everything okay?" Max asked the two of you.

>>23505529
"Sarvesh? What's wrong?"

>>23505529
I'm a bit more tired then I should be, but everything else is fine. Right Sarvesh?

"I'm a bit more tired than I should be, but everything else is fine. Right, Sarvesh?"
He was silent.
"Sarvesh? What's wrong?"
"... I don't like this." He responded, facing Damien. "I don't like this at all. I'm scared."
"Don't worry." Max said, his voice low. It almost sounded like he was losing his patience. "You can turn on your ion manuvering any time, and if you run out of gas, there's us. We can kinesis you back, we need to."
The centaur buzzed and clicked again, and then shook his head. "Okay, I'm ready." He said, finally.

"Okay." Max said, much happier than he just was. "All of you can do basic manuvers from our time in the hub, right?"
Everyone, except Anna gave their affirmations.
"Okay, then this is what we're going to do." He said. "We're going to have a little contest. All of you... are going to race Anna."
Anna waved.
"She'll have her magnetic boots, and these asteroids have enough iron content to carry her." He said. "We'll be doing things one at a time, and the goal is to reach the green flag and come back first. Any questions?"

>>23505658
nope.

"Sounds good."

>>23505658
"When do we start?"

>>23505658
"Anything we shouldn't do, aside from obvious things, like endangering one another?"

"Anything we shouldn't do, aside from obvious things, like endangering one another?" you ask.
"Not in particular." He said. "... Don't go too fast backward, or you'll start to fall out of orbit, I suppose."
"When do we start?"
"As soon as we figure out the order." Max said. "You seem raring to go, so you may as well go first."
You nod, and eventually Anna was standing next to you in her suit, crouched. Then Max called out to 'go' and she kicked off, already soaring.
You closed your eyes, and focused toward the target... and shot toward it, weaving around asteroids as your opponent bounced from rock to rock. Near the end, she'd started doing something strange - holding out her feet to the asteroids, sparks dancing off of the magnetic boots as they heated, pulling her forward even faster. You set down on one of the asteroids, your own magnetic boots clasping, and touched the flag.
"Alright, that's good. Now hurry back." Max radioed, and you kicked off again.

It wasn't long before you returned to the first asteroid, a furious Anna glowering behind you.
"That was pretty good." Max said. "You have a talent with telekinesis."

>>23505856
"It's more that I have a talent for Ion Boots, and some of it carries over."

>>23505890
Talent? Wasn't our one attempt to use them what sent us through a frickin' wall?

"It's more that I have a talent for ion boots, and some of it carries over." You say, giving Anna a modest smile.
She glared back.
"Anna, what were you doing with the magboots?" You ask, and she sighed.
"Overcharged them." She said. "Then used psionics to cool them down and make sure they didn't melt."
"That was so cool!" You gush.
"Would've been cooler if I could turn asteroids into electromagnets." She grumbled to herself.
"Damien, how about you go next?" Max asked.
"I'm going to lose." Damien said.

"I lost." Damien said, as he skidded past your asteroid when he tried to return, Anna giving him a gloating look so obvious that everyone could *feel* it.
"Summer?" Max asked.
Summer nodded, perfectly silently, and suddenly another radio connected to yours - her manifestation. "I'll try my best." She said.
"Sarvesh?" Max asked. "How are you doing?"
Sarvesh didn't respond again. He was staring out. Not out toward the sun, but out toward space. Nothingness.

>>23506055
>"Would've been cooler if I could turn asteroids into electromagnets."

clearly a woman after our own heart.

>>23506055
Poke him.
"Yes, electromagnet asteroids would have been awesome"

>>23506055
>asteroids into electromagnets
look awed. "Yes, that would have been awesome".

>>23506055
I don't know if the saying translates well sarvesh but 'a penny for your thoughts'? is something making you uncomfortable and do you think talking about it will make the discomfort less?

>>23506055
>Anna is mean
Get next to Damien. Give him a high five even though he failed. team spirit!

Your eyes widen. "Yes, that would have been awesome." You say.
"I just need to learn how." Anna said, and sighed, before turning to Summer. "You ready?"
"Yeah." Her manifestation said, over the radio, and the two set off.

You hover closer to Sarvesh, and poke him in the torso.
"I don't know if the saying translates well, Sarvesh, but... a penny for your thoughts?" You ask. "Is something making you uncomfortable?"
"... It's just too big." He said. He was buzzing and clicking, and the translation software didn't even start translating before your minds did. "The whole of everything is too big for me to ever see it all."
He glanced at his cybernetic arm, and went quiet, putting his mandibles into his own mouth.

>>23506286
"That's why we have to make the most out of what we can see."

>>23506286
" 'There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio than are dreamed of in your philosophy' yeah I know what you mean; but you can just try your hardest to see what can be seen"

join him in staring down the void for a while in companionable silence

>>23506286
The most we can do is try. And it's worth it. It means the adventure never ends, and that's a good thing.

>>23506286
If we turn off our radio, can we telepathy our words to him? Might want to keep this private.

>>23506436
Oh, everything.

You turn off your radio.
"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamed of in your philosophy." You quote.
Sarvesh gave you a Look, and he turned off his own.
"The most we can do is try. And it's worth it. It means the adventure never ends, and that's a good thing."
He gave off a low buzz. Something that translated as a 'hmm'.
"... You know why I have this arm?" He asked. "Why I didn't moult, I mean. That's something you didn't ask."

Anna returned, Summer following her, and the asteroid shuddered as they both collided into it, distracting the two of you. The tiger simply drifted away from the asteroid, unhappily.
Max turned to Jilly, and said something, and she and Anna sprung away from the asteroid, the lights on Jilly's suit flashing yellow, signifying giggles.

"Because if I don't moult, I don't age." He said, quietly. "I want to see everything. Everywhere."

>>23506436
>>23506548
So, "the usual" pretty much.

>>23506566
I wish you luck then. My life will just be a blip in your adventures.

How will see things that don't last? You can't be everywhere at all times?

>>23506566
"Well, maybe you'll manage it, then. I wish you luck, Sarvesh."

>>23506645

>>23506566
You're not alone, sarvesh. There are many others in the past, present, and future who did do and will feel the same. Elsewhere in the universe, even, where you can't even see, i'm sure there's so many you can't even count them. They're probably looking in your direction right now.

"But... living that long. You'd forget so much more than you'd ever even realize you knew."
"Maybe." He clicked.
"Well, maybe you'll manage it, then." You say. "I wish you luck, Sarvesh."
"Thank you." He said, and nodded.

Then you heard Max growl in your mind. In his voice laid the sound of an Alpha, breaking through his demeanor. For just a moment, he was a wild animal, his mind honed into sapience.
"It's your turn, Sarvesh." He said. "Turn on your radio. Now."
"Oh, right. I apologize." Sarvesh responded, and turned on his radio. Carefully, he walked up next to Anna, and the two of them left.

"So, you can use telepathy to that extent, too." Max said, panting and wagging his tail, sitting down next to you. "Normally you need to hear words, without radio, to springboard off of. I'm impressed."
He tilted his head, and under his helmet, his ears perked.
"Have you had any strange feelings or senses?"

>>23506757
Well it is annoying.
But currently I'm annoyed at you making a thread which isn't about you about you, and wasting our bump count with your irrelevant posts.

>>23506785
"Not that I've noticed. I haven't been trying to notice either though."

>>23506785
What, like a psychic? I sense no spirits in any home!

>>23506785
"Well, when I was a kid had nightmares of these.... faceless things voting about what I had done during the day, but uh... That's about it I guess?"

>>23506785
"There was one time, yes. I got my parents to stop the car, and if we hadn't stopped, we would have been in a terrible accident."

>>23506785
"I get the strange feeling that you're not all you show yourself to be, but I haven't had any weird 'predictions' that I can think of."

Except for that one as a child.

"You're going to have to define it a bit more than that."

"I get the strange feeling that you're not all you show yourself to be." you say.
"That's silly. I'm just a dog." He said.
"There was one time, yes. I got my parents to stop the car, and if we hadn't stopped, we would have been in a terrible accident."
"Did you see it, and know it was going to happen, or was it just a bad feeling?"
"Just a bad feeling." You say.
The wolf nodded.
"Anything since you arrived here?"
"Not that I've noticed. I haven't been trying to notice either, though."
"I see." He said. "It sounds like your extrasensory perception is a bit on the weak side, compared to everybody else." He said.

An asteroid suddenly split in half, as Sarvesh tore it asunder. Then he kicked off of one, carrying the other, and kicked off of the second halfway there, barely, *barely* touching the flag before Anna did.

"... Clever." Anna grumbled.
"... That wasn't quite telekinesis, Sarvesh." Max called.
"I used telekinesis to assist me in getting here." Sarvesh said neutrally.

Max simply shrugged, and sighed.
"Okay, everyone back into the shuttle. The researchers might get too stressed if we give them too *much* data." Max said, and everyone made their way back into the shuttle.

Some time later, you peeled off your suit, standing in the hub of the station again, struggling with it. Everyone except Anna had gone down the elevator, and right now, she was simply relaxing in zero-g, hair splayed every way.
It seemed you had free time.

"You were pretty impressive out there." you say. "I didn't even know you could overcharge things like that. And cooling them at the same time! That was brilliant!"
She shrugged, and rolled to face you.
"Did you have to mod them for it? Or just rewrite the software?"
"I'm not that technically minded." She responded. "I just zapped them."
"And how does cooling the boots with psionics work?" You ask.
She shrugged. "I just took the heat energy out." She said. "It's like... the very opposite of heating something up. It's all still pyrokinesis."
"Hey, have you ever tried to ionize the gasses to create plasma?"
She sighed. "Let's say I did, so I can go back to reading."

>>23507290
>It's at somewhere around 0.92g, I seem to recall.
"Okay, I'm... sorry for troubling you. It's just that... sorry."

You sigh, and then project yourself down to the elevator, taking it down and out of the hub.

"Einstein, where is that workshop?" You ask him. "Did Dr. Manus ever get back to us?"
"On the opposite side of the hall from the location designated as your dorm room." Einstein responded. "It's sparse and has no parts yet, but it has been cleared for you."

You shrug, and make your way back to your dorm, where Summer - both of them - were snoring on the bed. You put your duffel bag on your bed, and start to unpack.
Some time later, completely unpacked, your glasses start to ring. You slip them on, and see who it is. Prometheus, as he was online... Or Alex. An old friend.
Summer's manifestation sat up, her hair disheveled. "Bwuh?"
Your glasses rang.
"Oh." She said, and collapsed again.

It's funny. She introduces herself as the manifest to be funny. She can take the joke.

You lay back in bed, stretch. "Greetings, prometheus. How are you on this fine time of day?"
"... You realize it's on the ass end of midnight here, right? It's not a fine time at all." Alex responded, grumbling. "I got up specially early to say hi. So hi, Heather. How's your new school?"
"Look at my room!" You say, clicking on the glasses' camera.
"It looks all metal. And swoopy. That's a space station all right."
"And my pet tiger!" You call, turning to Summer.
"I am not your pet tiger!" Summer said, sticking her tongue out at you.
"... Is the girl your pet too?" Alex asked, and snickered. "Taking after your moms, alright."
You know summer couldn't have heard that, but her cheeks went red, and A curtain suddenly... appeared, fading into existence, materializing around Summers' bed, so you sighed, and grabbed your tools, making your way to your workshop.
"Einstein, put in a requisition request for some basic tools and parts for the workshop."
"Aaand now you're completely ignoring me." Alex pouted, as Einstein chirped an affirmative.

>>23507612
"Not really, just multitasking. And no, Summer is not my pet - she's both the tiger and the girl, by the way. I was joking."

"Multitasking." You say, pulling up your ion boots. "I have a workshop, and massive amounts of money to requisition parts from anywhere."
"Sounds fun." He said.
"Sooooo, Alex. What have you been up to?"
"You know. I'm doing what I always do. I almost beat Demiurg Commander Six." He said, bragging. "Though I'm doing terribly on the FutureCraft ladder. The physics classes are kicking my butt again. That's about it for me, really."
There was something in his voice that said that there *was* something else. Something that embarrassed him.

my psychic juju is telling me that that's not all; spill the beans man.

"Did you meet her playing FutureCraft?"

"So, what's he or she like?"

"About it? Keep going until it's exactly it."

>>23507838
"Don't hold back on me man. Spit it out. What is it? And don't try to bullshit me with 'nothing'"

>>23507838
"Alex, I just got sent to a school for -psychic- people. I know there's something you're not saying."

"My psychic juju is telling me that's not all. Spill the beans, man."
"What? It's nothing."
"Is it a laaaady~?" You ask, your voice unneccisarily perky.
He coughed.
"So, what's she like? Did you meet her playing FutureCraft?"
"She, uh, hit me with her groundcar. On accident. My leg is broken, but she's really cute." He said. "Damn your psychic juju, Heather."

>>23507838
"Is it a boy or a girl?"

>>23507944

>>23507944
"So you extorted a date out of her, right? You deserve at least that much."

>>23507944
Oh no! Did she apologise? I hope she's looking after you.

>>23507944
"Is she hot?"

>>23507944

"please tell me you got her name and number or at least got her to take you to dinner to make it up to you.

>>23507944
"Yes, my psychic juju is the best. Well, not really. But it's... okay, sub-par, really. That's nice. Except for the broken leg. Well, that's nice as well."

>>23507944
"Tell me more, tell me more. I didn't even need psychic juju for that, you're just easy to read. Did you get a date? Do you need advice?

I demand juicy details, remember, you don't know that I can't psychically explode your microwave from here."

Placeholder for later, when we hang up, be sure to tell him to get well soon and to take it easy. Broken legs suck.

"Well... uh..."
"Please tell me you got her name and number." You say.
"I did, but...
"Did she apologize? I hope she's looking after you."
"She did, and visited me while..."
"Is she hot?"
"... Nine point five out of ten." He said, and seemed to give up on trying to answer completely.
"What's she like? Does she have long hair? Is she fat? What color is her eyes? Did you ask her out yet?"
"Nice, Yes, no, blue, and we watched a movie last night." He said.
"Sooo, What's her name?~"
"Nadala." He said.

Make a happy noise.
"That's such a nice name!"

sounds nice; and it looks like you can use the injury to lay the groundwork for this just don't overdo the nerding-out till she knows you better.

FutureGoogling a name hardly counts as stalking.

I'm pretty sure it's standard procedure to look someone's name up in situations like these, I'm not saying full military background check.

You squee, causing him to take off his headset for a moment.
"That's such a nice name!" You say. "I'm so glad! I hope that next time you call me, you'll have a camera and Nadala with you!"
"... So in the middle of a date, you want me to say 'Oh hey, I should go talk to my female friend'?" He asked. "No way."
"What movie did you watch? Did you do the classic move of faking a yawn and putting your arm over her shoulders? I hope you did. I'd be disappointed if you didn't. It's at least a thousand years old."
"Didn't need to." He gloated. "She made me lay my head on her lap."
"Awww, that's so sweet."
"Now, your turn!" He bellowed. "Tell me about that alien guy. You ask you ride on his shoulders or something silly, yet? You have any uplift classmates? Or aliens that aren't UPA? Can you move things with your brain? Can you see me right now?"

>>23508356
"Sarvesh, and yes. Summer's an Uplift. None that aren't UPA. Yes. I'm going to let you wonder."

>>23508356
He said I couldn't ride on his shoulders because it was zero-G.

My roommate, the tiger, is an uplift. The top dog is to. A literal dog. I haven't seen any other aliens yet, but I have not yet had a chance to explore everywhere.

The other's I've met are a Nagala and two humans. They're all really interesting people and I hope we'll get along.

I'm the best ever at Psionics, I'm watching you scratch your nose right now!

Sarvesh is cool, he has cybernetic arm! Summer is an uplift. No, Yes I can. Nope (thankfully).
Oh and there is this girl Anna, who can make electromagnets out of anything. Also has awesome pyrokinesis control. And can do all this awesome stuff.

"Sarvesh, I haven't yet, though I may ask to ride on his abdomen, more space there than on his shoulders.

You already met my uplift classmate. Summer's the tiger, the girl's a psychic construct.

They're all UPA.

I can move things with my brain, might even get good enough to pinch the right place in someone's bloodstream to silently kill them, muahahaha.

Who knows if I can see you, I mean it's not like I could guess that you're sitting in a chair, lounging back and are resting your head on one of your hands."

Isn't that cool? And yeah I can move thing with my brain. Just give me time to get a webcam and I will show you! And for your last question - No I can't see you because I am not good at that"

err, that would seem awfully personal and awkard.

>>23508356
"I haven't ridden on Sarvesh's shoulders but I did pick him up with my brain. I have my tiger roommate. There's a dog as well. And a Nagala. Which sounds like Nadala."

>>23508518
>He probably wouldn't mind

>>23508555
He does seem to be crushing on Heather a little bit. We should ask next time we see him, and if he gets offended then claim we didn't know it was rude.

>>23508518
He wouldn't mind, and it means we could tinker with things while going to a different room and chatting with Sarvesh. And then we play paintball with the other students and mount a paint future-machinegun on his abdomen and team up against everyone else.

>>23508609
you don't get it. riding o his back is one thing. but the abdomen is where females go when they mate...

>>23508646
>Other way around. The males climb atop the smaller females when they mate.

"Sarvesh is cool. He said I couldn't ride on his shoulders because it was zero-G." You say. "My roommate is an uplift, and the top dog is too. A literal dog."
"That's hilarious." He said, and chuckled.
"They're all UPA. And I moved myself with my brain! In space! And I can see... Everything. -Everything-."
He was silent for a moment.
"Then why haven't you brought up the fact that I'm not wearing pants?"
You were silent, and then he started chuckling.
"You're too obvious when you're lying." He said. "I don't need any psychic juju for that."
"There's also a Nagala. Which sounds like Nadala."
"It does." He said. "Maybe her parents didn't have much creativity. It doesn't matter, because I call her Nat anyway."
He hmphed, and then sighed.
"Well, it is late, heather." He said. "Might go to bed. Don't peek into my dreams with your brain magic, please."

"Call me next time you want to win a game of futurecraft."

"So do I. Talk to you later, Arcturus. Prometheus out."
"Call me next time you want to win a game of futurecraft."
"It might be more of a challenge if I played against nobody, instead of against you." He said, and chuckled, then he hung up.

By the time you're almost done with the throttle for the ion boots (so that they don't go haywire when you lean wrong), it's almost lunch, and you're positively starving.
Then someone knocked on the door, and leaned in. Damien had sandwiches.
"Sup." He said. "I bring gifts."

>>23508847

"I accept these gifts, but do you dare set foot within my mighty lair?"

>>23508847
"I like gifts! What sort do you bring?"

>>23508847
"Hello new best friend forever!"

>>23508847
"Awesome. Did you use your PSYCHIC POWERS to determine I was hungry?

I'm going to be tinkering with stuff once I get tools, any requests for stuff you want made?"

>>23508901
Lets dial this down?
Let's not make Heather sound like she is on Red Bull 24/7.

>>23508847
"Oooooo sandwiches! gimme gimme gimme! I am soo hungry!"

>>23508847
Damien! Nice to see you! What kind of gift are these? The sweet, sticky, peanut butter and jelly sandwhich? Or is this something else, something more.. spacey? No space squids on this, are there?

"I accept these gifts, but do you dare set foot within my mighty lair?"
"... your mighty lair is a big empty room." He said. "Right now, at least."
"Did you use your PSYCHIC POWERS to determine I was hungry?" You ask, taking the sandwiches he handed you.
"... I used logic." He said. "Everyone else'd been in and out of the cafeteria. Even Anna. Which meant you were either starving to death or always dead. Psionics takes a lot out of you."
"Are these the peanut butter and jelly? Or is this something else? Something more... spacey? No space squids on this, are there?"
Damien grinned. "I had Jilly and Sarvesh figure out what to put on it."
You pry open the toasted bread, and look at it... and it was just tuna and cheese. You took a massive bite out of one.
"Not really." He said, and shrugged. "Though I guess Sarvesh suggest the tuna melts, if he knew what they were. You know, he actually speaks german?"

>>23509019
"German, that archaic old Earth language?"

>>23509019
>or always dead
>Or already dead, even.

>>23509019
"I didn't know that."

Nom on sandwich happily as he talks.

>>23509019
I'm glad you stopped by. It's nice to have someone here. I didn't stop by because I was talking to my good friend from burers glyph and I got a little carried away. And then I got hungry. Thankfully not dead, though. You don't 'get dead', that's bad grammar.

>>23509019
"German? That language that the one they use for that big FLOSS software group is based on? That's so cool!"

>>23509124
Bit spastic this.

>>23509019
"German? I must hear that. Are they still in the cafeteria?"

"German? That archaic old language?"
"Hah, no, it's not archaic at all." He said. "Some of the worlds on the rim of UPA actually speak it exclusively."
He raised an eyebrow as you crammed an entire sandwich in your mouth. "You know what I find funny? Humans are the only ones with so many different languages. Nagala I can understand having a single language, but the centaurs do too. I think it's because we went into space and started colonizing without uniting our homeworld."
You nod, swallow, and then clear your throat.
"I didn't know that." You say. "I'm glad you stopped by."
"I tried learning spanglish, and that one, uh, 'teknospeek' dialect." He said. "U no leet' sort of thing. Couldn't wrap my head around it."
He shrugged, and closed his eyes, though you still felt him looking at you. "So, working on your ion boots? You have any plans to make anything else? Heard you requested more tools and parts.

>>23509261
"Everything"

>>23509261
"I might start tinkering with Einstein after I finish these."

>>23509261
I'm going to make all the things!

But mostly I would just feel lost without the ability to be able to make things, if I needed to or wanted to.

I'll probably attach some extra bits to Einstein.

>>23509261
"I have a few ideas for things."

>>23509261
"I was thinking about tinkering with Einstein and maybe making Anna an exoskeleton for gravity if she'll let me. No other projects in mind just yet, though."

>>23509261
"Not sure yet. I'll probably deck Einstein out, maybe try to make powered armor later, if you have anything you want I can probably whip it up."

>>23509261
Upgrade Einstein. I also want to collaborate with Anna on something.

>>23509261
"No specific plans yet. Got to get these working. Maybe enhance Einstein a bit. Is there anything you want me to have a go at?"

"I'm going to make all the things!" You say, and he chuckled.
"But mostly, I was thinking about tinkering with Einstein after I finish my ion boots. And maybe making Anna an exoskeleton for gravity, if she'll let me."
Damien hmphed.
"I don't think she will." He said. "And you don't need to have ESP to know *that*."
He sighed. "Jilly's been unhappy all day since Anna shooed her off. I really don't like her, because she's so consistently cold to everyone."

>>23509366
Why didn't you invite jilly to come here and eat with us then?

>>23509366
"Anna does seem like she's difficult to work with.

Do you have any requests? Any gadgets you want made?"

>>23509366
Aww thats why we need to be persistent with her. And patient!

>>23509366
"Eh, takes all kinds to make the world, or in this case space station, go round. That's a saying somewhere."

>>23509366
"Yeah and you avoid people. You must admit everybody here's weird in a way. Lamias seem to be very emotional with all that skin color changes and stuff"

>>23509366
It's probably just because everything hurts for here, here.

Do you want me to make you anything fancy? A random number device to hone your ESP?

>>23509453
>Lamias
what?

>>23509466
I do believe he meant "Nagala"

>>23509366
"Don't be too hard on her. Her pile of Bad Things in Life could be just larger than her pile of Good Things in Life at the moment. She might have trouble remembering that the Bad Things don't always spoil the Good Things."
Blink.
"What was that?"

>>23509366
We should make an ion-cannon using magnets and compressed Phaeron gas. That stuff's meant to make engines powerful, so it'd conceivably work pretty well as a weapon. You could easily fix dispersion by mixing negatively charged and positively charged amounts together, letting the electrostatic force do the work of keeping it together.

>>23509466
Yeah I meant those snake people. I forgot the name.

"Eh, it takes all kinds to make the world, or in this case space station, go round." You say. "That's a saying somewhere."
"Doesn't mean I have to like her." He said.
"Yeah, and you avoid people." You say. "You must admit everybody here's weird, in a way."
He shrugged.
"Why didn't you invite Jilly to come here and eat with us, then?"
"Because we couldn't carry all of the moss she eats." He said. "And Summer is better with people than I am. But I've a question.
He raised an eyebrow. "You said everyone here is weird. How are you weird, then?"

>>23509594

"I'm a psychic."

>>23509594
"Science."

>>23509594
"Aside from being psychic? Not sure yet. I'm sure something will come up."

>>23509594
I have voices in my head telling me what to do and say.

>>23509594
"I am the strangest of all the oddities here, I look to be pretty normal.

Also, I get told I have psychic powers and I'm more excited about having a workshop of my own and resources to tinker with stuff than I am with telepathy."

>>23509594
Shrug, "I get told I'm annoying a lot. I try not to be, but sometimes I just can't help but get excited."

>>23509594
"Being psychic is pretty weird for a start. And I ask way too many questions. There are probably other things too."

>>23509594
"Well if you count being psionic as normal, then I'd say that I am not weird"
Everybody around me is insane, only I am an airplane.

Sigh.
"But the truth is... the universe is so much stranger than that. And so much darker, so much madder... so much better."

>>23509770
I meant DPD in that we have /tg/ in our heads, and might occasionally do silly out of character things, as a joke.

You raise your finger to your lips.
"Shhh, it's a secret." You say, and give him a grin.
He thinks about it for a moment... and then chuckles. "Fair enough. Oh! And if you wanted to try out the sensory deprivation chambers, they're down near the bottom... uh, outside of the hub. Max told me to make sure you can use them whenever. You should be able to have your flying basketball take you there."

"Hey, that's mine!" You say, and throw a bolt at him.
His hand was already in the air by the time the bolt was out of yours, and he caught it.
Then he grinned, and ran, slipping the bolt to your ion boots in his pocket.

You sigh, and check your room to see if summer was awake again - and apparently she was, both of her bodies gone. You shrug, and made your way down the various ramps and ladders to the 'bottom' of the station, where the gravity was at least a third again stronger to what you were used to. With Einstein's guidance, you found the six great chambers, with what looked like GEM generators in the top and bottom, all smoothly black and covered in scanning devices.
One of the signs mentioned removing all devices and clothing before entering, and you were mildly glad to see that there was a curtained area just outside of the chamber you could use.

The control pad of your own chamber chirped.

You set the chamber for an hour, and then undress, and climb in, telling Einstein to wait outside.

The chamber whirred, and hissed shut.
You heard nothing.
In the darkness, you saw nothing.
The gravity started lessening, as the GEM generators in the top of the chamber started decreasing the gravity, and soon, you were floating, in the dark.
Waiting.
In silence.

At the edge of your mind, the hidden depths of your mind, colors and words, half-remembered, sprang to your thought. Like sleeping, like dreaming, you were simply sitting in there... You sang a short song, wiggled your toes, waiting. Nothing special was happening An interminable time later, there was slight noise, and then static, and the lights started slowly turning on inside of the chamber, letting you adapt to the light again. The doors opened, all but blinding you from the light, as gravity returned.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Ooh let's check on Prometheus

"How goddamn boring." You say. "Einstein, how long do people usually stay in these chambers?"
"Usually between thirty minutes and an hour." He responded. "Times lower than thirty minutes have been found not to be beneficial toward stimulating extrasensory perception."
You sigh. "Can you report that to the doc?"
"Doing so now." He responded.
"Might as well try another hour." You say, and punch in the numbers, before climbing back in. Again, the door hissed shut, and the gravity vanished, and you went back to floating...

And then, in the darkness... you fell asleep. And dreamed.

The wind is howling, dust and rock covering the ground. A yellow, young sun sat in the sky, beating down on you. Six centaur sat in a circle, staring at one another, with a few cameras nearby, watching them. None of them seemed to notice you.

"Are you ready?" One of them asked, a tall, bulky centaur with cracked carapace, bigger than the rest.
"I am, yes." A younger Sarvesh responded.
You had a... feeling you could leave this place, seek somewhere else, if you wanted. Somewhen else. You just... didn't know how to aim.

Stay here and watch it.

>>23510373
Drift along, see where it takes us.

>>23510373
Go somewhere else.

>>23510373
Seek somewhere else.

>>23510373
Go with the flow

>>23510373
Stay here, watch Sarvesh, does he have a metal arm yet?

>>23510373
Lets watch Sarvesh for a bit. If it's boring we can try and see Alex's dreams.

>>23510390
>Zbgure?
You're not making any sense, Einstein.

>>23510373
Allow the dreamcurrents to push us somewhere else.

>>23510390
Einstein, go home, you're drunk.

>>23510373
Let's reach out to Einstein and try for technopathy.

Running it through here decodes it to:
>Mother?

>>23510373
Go somewhere else

>>23510504
Aw shit son do this.

>>23510504
I would also like to try this

>>23510504
Aw yeah, interfacing with with electronics via PSYCHIC POWERS here we come!

Quietly, you stand there and watch as the two charged one another, pincers at the ready. Snapping of carapace with buzzing and clicking, as Sarvesh was entirely pummeled, neither fast nor strong enough to fight off his ... his brother.
Yes, that was his brother, you knew. Six moults old, the strongest and most powerful in the subsubsubtribe. He was pulling out all of the stops, fighting, and Sarvesh started to scream, when his brother clenched both pincers down on Sarvesh's arm...
He started to tear it off.
You couldn't look, so you drifted away.

To Summer.

The light was shining in through the window, the birds singing and chirping. Sitting in the four-poster bed was a pile of stuffed animals, alongside a young, darkhaired girl, her hair cropped short... and a tiger cub, it's paws bigger than the rest of it's body. She was purring, softly, and her eyes opened to lick the girl's forehead.
"Mhpmhm, it's too early to play, Summer." The girl responded, scritching the tiger's ear.
I didn't want to play, sister. The tiger said, wordlessly. I just wanted you to know I love you.
The girl sat up. "Did you say something, summer?"
Time passed, and then there was the sound of shattering glass, and a tiger's roar, filled with pain and anguish.

You opened your eyes.
You could sense Einstein, and the control computer, not far outside of the chamber.
You could... sense them. Through the vacuum seal.

This should be interesting

[Einstein, how long have I been inside?]

>>23510604
Reach out and touch Einstein, metaphorically speaking.

>>23510604
Cackle maniacally, we did it!
Then realize that's probably a tad dickish after what we've seen, and feel guilty.

>>23510604
Reach for the Machines, touch them, listen to them, see what they have to say.

>>23510653
>Show me on the graph where she touched you

>>23510604
See what 'Stein is up to.

>>23510604
I feel we've invaded our friends privacy by accident. We should probably tell them.

Ask Einstein how long we've been in here.

>>23510686
>She touched me right here, on my X-Axis!

>>23510604
Reach out to einstein and the control computer

Eyes still closed (though it didn't matter in the nothingness), you reach out toward Einstein, trying to sense more about what's going on, but... nothing made sense, ticking within the sphere a few feet away from you. You reached out with a hand, and the chamber drifted you away from the wall as you did, keeping you from reaching the wall of the chamber. Confused, you rub at your eyes, trying to wake completely up, as the audio static and lights flare on. Another minute later, the doors opened again, blinding you again.
