>>25071670
"Well, I could show you my ship if you want."

>>25071670
<Hello, engines!>

>>25071670

"Thank you for showing me around."

have a look at the terminals and maybe have a peek at what the technician is watching.

>>25071670
"I can think of somewhere~"
Be gentle with the clothing removal, Devourer is still sleeping in our pocket.

>>25071670
"That was a lovely tour. The question is, though, where do *you* want to go?"

>>25071762
Too fast.

>>25071752
>You can't really peek at a personacom, because of the way they project directly into the user's eye. Unless you used technopathy.

<Hello, Engines!> You call.

They were tired, you felt. They'd been working in rhythm. <Sorry, girl.> One of them said. <We'd like to stop and chat, but we need to concentrate...> It trailed off.

"That was a lovely tour." You say, and peek at the terminal- they were all generating incredible amounts of power- easily enough for a city. No wonder having this station function was so expensive.
"The question is, though, where do *you* want to go?"
"Me?" Luna asked, as the technician tried to ignore you leaning over his shoulder so that you could look at the terminal. "I'm fine going anywhere~"

>>25071779
I don't mean strip instantly, the spoiler is a warning for later because it seems like people have forgotten about him.

>>25071816
<Sorry, engines! Keep up the good work!>

That's just not good. They should really turn off the gravity generators if there's no one in a room. Send the station head a message about this. We wouldn't want them to burn out.

>>25071816

"if you're interested, I made my own exosuit, a high power laser and my very own ship. I can give you a tour of them if you want!"

>>25071816
Quickly search the station for an empty secluded room, or take her to Surya, keep it on the downlow though.

>>25071816
"Weeeeeell, last time I saw you, I didn't have a ship. So I could show you around that, if you'd like."

>>25071816
"Then follow me!"
Show her Surya. It's ours and lockable and comfortable.

>>25071898
Give her but a little pinch on the way.

Rolled 88

>>25071816
as we walk we do the high pressure bubble thing wrapped just around her and see if it works.

"learned this trick earlier today, mind if I practice holding it on you?"

>>25071920
I was thinking about that. If we can get the secondary bubble thick/dense enough, it'd be like a shield and stop any projectiles, or slow them down enough so that they wouldn't matter.

>>25071919
She doesn't really have a butt you know.

>>25071946
A rub then?

>>25071953
I would say a nice "butt" slap is in order

>>25071946
>>25071919
>Her 'butt' is all tail, and isn't even butt-shaped, sadly.

<Sorry, Engines! Keep up the good work!>
<As you ask.>
"Weeeeelll, last time I saw you, I didn't have a ship." You say. "So I could show you around that, if you'd like."
"Oh, alright, then." Luna said, and followed you, slithering alongside you.
"And I learned this trick earlier today." You say, and with some telekinetic force, wrap more pressure around Luna. "Mind if I practice holding it on you?"
She giggled. "Well, don't you need a lot of focus for this?" She asked. "It does make me more comfortable, but what would happen if, say, you got... distracted?"
She fluttered an eyelash.

Surya's hangar was still rather cramped, with Delta sitting next to the second Surya, his drones hissing as they sheared off parts. Apparently he couldn't uncreate anything, and had to cut it apart in order to get it out of the hangar.

>>25071943
Wouldn't it be easier and a lot more effective to just make a normal TK shield than use two bubbles of TK to crush air into a sort of barrier?

>>25071976
"Something...terrible would happen, if I lost my concentration. We would be...forced together, by some indescribable force."

>>25071976
"well if I get distracted here you go back to normal pressure, but in the vacum of space where I was practicing I assume you'd get a nasty surprise"

"that guy in the wheelchair is Delta he's, got an odd personality and a really scarily good knack for creating things."

>>25071976
"I can hold it and multitask fairly easily. You'd have to be *very* distracting."
Do your best, Luna!

>>25071976
Alex could probably help Delta with that, and telling Delta that might get him to wander off for a while. Also, I like the suggestion of arranging to have the gravity generators turned off in rooms where nobody's around.

Meanwhile: "Actually, Luna, one of the researchers told me recently that I should learn to control my psionics even with outside distractions; he was worried I relied on the isolation chambers too much. So I really should practice."

>>25071976

"That's Delta, he's very reasonable, if a little unsocial." call out a greeting to Delta, doesn't matter if he won't respond.

>I'm unsure about this fling.
>but I'll follow along since people think it would help.

>>25071976
"Why don't you come on board?"
As we open the entrance ramp.

>>25072026
>>25072023

Both of these: do say that we've been told we need to practice with distractions, but say that we've gotten pretty good at holding it subconsciously so it'd take one hell of a distraction to pop the bubble. "And it wouldn't do any harm, anyway; it would just relieve some pressure."

>>25072026
>Meanwhile: "Actually, Luna, one of the researchers told me recently that I should learn to control my psionics even with outside distractions; he was worried I relied on the isolation chambers too much. So I really should practice."
"So I really should practise. While distracted."

>>25072049
>"And it wouldn't do any harm, anyway; it would just relieve some pressure."

Heather, master of the double-entendre.

>>25071976
Do *not* forget to lock Surya's door, and to check the access list and temporarily prevent anyone but Heather from unlocking it.

>>25072049
This works.

>>25072092
Yeah, let's avoid any particularly embarrassing interruptions, please.

>>25072092
Even Heather because Manifest!Heathers exist

>>25072099
I don't want to have to replace the hull because we had to black sphere it.

I hope this won't be bad for our friendship with Jilly.

>>25072112
I am very worried about this.

"I can hold it and multitask fairly easily." You say. "You'd have to be *very* distracting."
"I see." She said. "That's good, then."
"That's Delta. He's very reasonable, if a little unsocial. Hello, Delta!"
Delta didn't respond.
"And one of the researchers told me I should learn to control my psionics even with outside distractions." You say, and with a command, opened the entrance ramp. "So I really should practice. While distracted. And it wouldn't do any harm, anyway; It would just relieve some pressure."
"I see~. Relieving pressure is never usually a bad thing." Luna said, as you walked into Surya.
"Why don't you come on board?" You ask.
"I will, then." Luna said. "Doesn't look like there's any way we can get the ship out of the hangar right now, but... I have another idea how we can keep busy..."

>Fade to black!

Some time later, you were in the cockpit, relaxed, like you'd just been through the best massage in your life. Your pants were hanging from a hook nearby, and Luna's teeth ground shut again, the tongues- and other, transgenetic appendages- sliding back inside her tail. You'd learned something; Nagala saliva wasn't sticky.
"How's that for relieving pressure?" Luna asked, and gave you a kiss on the cheek.

>>25072112
Just awkward. We just never clarify what happened with her mom.

>>25072112
It'll be embarrassing for Jilly (or perhaps for Heather), but I seriously doubt it'll affect their friendship.

Also, it's perfect material to help keep Jilly from snooping around in Heather's mind if we don't want her to: just start picturing Luna and Heather together...

Oh, this is going to be *fun*.

>>25072131
"Incredible. But, I shouldn't be having all the fun, here; what do you do when you want to get...distracted?"

(cue second fade to black)

>>25072112
She could have just asked us not to because it would be too awkward, and she knows we would have listened because she's a mind reader.

>>25072131
"That was... wow..."

>>25072156
>"Incredible. But, I shouldn't be having all the fun, here; what do you do when you want to get...distracted?"

Not the best wording, but something like this, yes; wouldn't want Luna to miss out on the fun.

>>25072131
High 5
"I can see why you're ambassador."

>>25072112
Jilly's response to realising what her mom had planned last thread was less "oh god our friendship is over forever!" and more "aww, mom, not again..."

Something about the way she reacted tells me this isn't the first of Jilly's friends her mom has seduced.

>>25072112
She can fucking read our mind as well oh my godddddd

>>25072132
She's telepathic; we won't have to.

>>25072131
that was interesting. and as an added bonus I can now use that to stop jilly from poking around in here(tap side of skull) without permission..."

>>25072131
"You certainly are a master of interspecies... negotiations."

>>25072131

"and here I thought psionics were magic, i don't think my muscles will work properly for a moment."

does she go after all of Jilly's friends?

>>25072156
How do you drive a Nagala to distraction, anyway?

>>25072183
Well, Robin didn't help, and Heather wasn't really being seduced.....as it was counter-attack seduction as well lol......who seduced who?

>>25072188
Naw.

>>25072209
It was more a case of two horny xenophiles colliding.

>>25072209
Max seduced Anna.

>>25072209

>I don't know who is seducing who anymore

Robin came to take a peek, I just know it. Damn lightning reflexes.

>>25072131
So, did we manage to maintain the bubble the whole time?

Also, let's definitely return the favor.

>>25072239
yeahno.

"That was..." You say, for a moment. "Wow."
She kissed your other cheek. "It was, yes."
"... I can see why you're an ambassador."
She just started laughing. "Well, I do have some ambassador-y work I need to do." She said, still holding you within her coils. "No matter how fun it would be to stay here and distract you all day, I do have a reason for being here. I'd best get going... But..."

>>25072156
>>25072173
From Luna's comments last thread, I get the feeling it was fun for her too, because she likes the "taste".

>>25072239
Wildcard!

>>25072131
Wait, what happened, normal massage or post sexy times massage?

>>25072208
Not sure. Maybe we should ask Alex for tips.

>>25072188
that's the biggest mood-killer I've ever heard

>>25072256
Naked tongue massage.

>>25072252
>From Luna's comments last thread, I get the feeling it was fun for her too, because she likes the "taste".

Ah, fair enough. As long as it wasn't one-sided, then.

>>25072257
Worth it just for the look on his face.

>>25072250
"...Yeah, I need to do more training as well."

>>25072250

"But?"

>>25072188

Jilly would never do that, intentionally.

>>25072250
"Aww, I was hoping you'd show me where Nagala erogenous zones are."

>>25072256
>tongues- and other, transgenetic appendages- sliding back inside her tail
She had her dick(s) out, bro.

>>25072250
"But?"

And did we get sufficiently distracted to lose baryokinesis?

>>25072250
Reply with a peck of our own

"But~?"

>>25072270
I'm just waiting for the situation when Jilly and Heather meet for the first time after this.

>"Please Heather, promise me you'll try to never think about it in my presence..."
>"..."
>"Aww, come on Heather."
>"I can't help it!"

>>25072252

she said it was a delicacy she doesn't get to enjoy often.

>Human sexual fluids as fine quality, Nagala drinks.

>>25072278
Oh my, I almost missed that.

>>25072287
Quick, nobody think of a pink elephant!

>>25072287
"I wouldn't have if you didn't bring it up!"

>>25072293
Heather is a fine vintage.

>>25072250
>"but what?"

"well I have little to do today so I'll just check up all over the surya, we got blown up the other day and I want to be sure that it didn't damage anything; and a ship like this always needs tuning..."

>>25072239
speaking of anna, I wonder how this goes down if SHE finds out...

>>25072284
Yes, this.

>>25072237
Yeah, it was the LHC: the Luna-Heather-Collider.

>>25072311
>speaking of anna, I wonder how this goes down if SHE finds out...

Well, she might be a little unhappy about it, but she can hardly bitch at Heather for having a fling with someone while single because their relationship ended after Anna cheated on her.

>>25072311
Relationship is off till she gets herself settled, at which point it might be back on, this is as far as I can remember, the terms of their relationship.

>>25072131
>Fade to black!

The phrase that launched a thousand smutbins.

>>25072311
I don't think she'd care all that much. She didn't react particularly badly when Heather fucked Damien despite being very attracted to her, so a one-night stand with no chance of going anywhere shouldn't faze her.

>>25072258
Yeah, we're definitely going to use it but let's not bring it up with Luna right now. Perhaps later, because she'll find it funny, but not now.

>>25072278
>Tentacle Dicks
>Plural
Heather has lived the hentai dream.

>>25072351
Beyond just "didn't react particularly badly", she grilled Heather for details.

>>25072270
>Jilly would never do that, intentionally.

Jilly is never intentionally invasive, but she's pretty casual about mind-reading. For instance, last thread she read Heather's mind to find out what Heather meant about an "important conversation".

>>25072356
"Aww yeah, after this your daughter will totally avoid infringing on my personal space, score!"

Not even Sarvesh could be so spaghetti

>>25072387
Mood killer, do not say.

>>25072280
>Yeah, the baryokinetic bubble fell instantly.

>>25072375
>That kind of mindreading is of a sort that even non-psions can feel and ward it away. It's more like knocking at the door instead of trying to pick the lock.

"But~" You ask, and kiss her back on the cheek.
"But this was fun." She said, and ran a hand through your hair. "We shouldn't do this much more, though."
She gave you another smile, and a kiss on the forehead. "Then again, 'shouldn't' doesn't mean 'won't'."
And then you disengaged the locks, and she slithered back down the gangplank, out of the hangar.

>>25072375
It gets even funnier/ more horrifying for Jilly when you realise that she can actually feel memories with all her senses, as we can conclude from her finding out about sex via Heather's mind.

>>25072395
First thing we should do, having read back a couple of posts, is put our pants back on, since they're apparently on a hanger.

Beyond that, I dunno, did we have any plans for the rest of the day? I think we should go see Robin, she'll probably want to bug us for details about this, and it will be a good opportunity to get talking and maybe get the number of her dead clone girlfriend from her while we're hanging out.

>>25072395
Gather up our shit, get dressed.

<How's things going, Surya? Need any new parts?> Small-talk with ship aw yeah.

>>25072395

"see you around Luna, if anyone asks, I'll be out in a minute, maybe longer."

how about we try to long distance telepath something?
we're pretty relaxed so that should help.

>>25072395
<Yes, nagala tongues are awesome.>
to Prometheus.

>>25072395
Let's go do some more light powers.

Try and get ourselves solar powered.

>>25072395
I wonder how the tentacle monster in our pocket felt about being there...

>>25072395
>Yeah, the baryokinetic bubble fell instantly.

Clearly we need more practice.

>>25072425
>First thing we should do, having read back a couple of posts, is put our pants back on, since they're apparently on a hanger.

Eh, if we really do have some work to do on Surya, it can be pants-optional. But if we're wandering off, pants would be good.

>>25072438
Can't telepath Alex.

>>25072440
Sounds fun, let's try it.

>>25072429

>cont.

or longer sustained telepathy, just chat with Surya or maybe one of the weapon spheres outside of the station.

>>25072441
...well, this is awkward. We should find out.

>>25072451
Actually, if we want to practice long-distance telepathy, a good way to do it would be to start a conversation with someone and then have them start traveling away from the station. Or vice versa.

>>25072395
<Well Robin, that all worked out better than expected...>

You gather your belongings again, and get dressed again, though you can't seem to find your underclothes. Your bra was under the control panel, but your swimsuit bottom was nowhere to be found. You eventually manifest a pair, and get dressed. In your pocket was a small fuzzy creature- Devourer was a mole, now, it looked, or something similar to it. You pulled him out for a moment to give him a look.
<... I'm sorry for intruding on your mind.> Devourer said. From the connection, you got the impression that he could... feel... things.

>>25072425
Lets bask in the Luna drool for a bit, I bet it smells like pie.

>>25072398
That raises an interesting point: she can't read Alex's mind, so this might be the first time she really feels what it's like to be on the receiving end of Nagala sex.

>>25072490
"Uehehehehehe"

>>25072490
<Don't worry about it, I'm sorry too, I kind of forgot you were in there while I was... uh... distracted.>

>>25072490
Oh, don't worry, I'm sure that Luna took them. Or perhaps ate them.

<I'm sorry too, Devourer; I thought you were resting.>

>>25072490
<Hmm. I'm not happy...but I suppose you learnt a bit more about emotions and such, right?>

>>25072490

"Was that on accident or are you Interested in... things like that?"

>>25072490
<So, what have we learned about tentacles today?>

>>25072493
Interesting point. On the one hand she won't want to see it, and on the other hand she will. What's the telepathic equivalent of peeking through your fingers?

>>25072518
MY OWN CLONE!

>>25072511
She's probably waiting for the optimal moment to troll Jilly. Say for example when she's leaving, and she can pull them out and tell Jilly she's going to miss her, but at least she's got a momento from her visit.

>>25072537
><So, what have we learned about tentacles today?>

Eh-heh. Yes.

>>25072507
No, we didn't "forget"; let's not be rude to him.

>>25072556
We did forget though. If we'd remembered he was in there, we probably would've moved him somewhere less awkward.

>>25072490
<I guess I was even more distracted than I thought, since I didn't notice you poking around in there. Learn anything interesting?>

>>25072518

>>25072544

wasn't steering it towards that, was trying to find out if we need to talk to Devy about it.

>>25072568
We didn't forget, no:
>>25071762

>>25072490
<Well, you did come from a part of me, and I gave you your initial ability to experience empathy. Stands to reason you'd be horny.>

>>25072571
More like we thought he was sleeping.

>>25072581
>"You see, Devy, when a woman and a transgened Nagala like each other's hot bodies very much, then the transgened Nagala gives the woman a full body naked tongue massage and tentacle molestation. It's a perfectly natural part of life."

>>25072604
Yeah, exactly.

>>25072597
Too much.

>>25072571
Just right.

>>25072585
Oh right, didn't see that.

>>25072571
This.

>>25072511
><I'm sorry too, Devourer; I thought you were resting.>
>>25072571
><I guess I was even more distracted than I thought, since I didn't notice you poking around in there. Learn anything interesting?>

Both of these.

<I guess I was even more distracted than I thought, since I didn't notice you poking around in there. Learn anything interesting?>
<... Many, many things.> Devourer said. <Things I'm not sure I was meant to know. I now understand why Theta does what he does.>

You reach out to Robin.
<Well, Robin, that all worked out better than expected...>
<Hahaha, the look on your face when she thought it was y-... Wait. Better?> Robin asked.

>>25072665
<I have learned so much about Nagala tongues in the past hour...>

>>25072665
<If you have any questions, Devi, go ahead and ask them, alright?>

>>25072493
She can read Alex's mind if he takes his shield down. And if he's not doing that and taking advantage of the various ways telepathy can spice things up then... he's missing out.

>>25072665
><... Many, many things.> Devourer said. <Things I'm not sure I was meant to know. I now understand why Theta does what he does.>

<Ask, if you have any questions.>

>>25072665

<she gives the best massage ever! i feel so relaxed, she even helped Devy learn a thing or two.>

>>25072665
>>25072691
>>25072697
...and now we're giving Devourer "The Talk".

>>25072705

inadvertently of course.

>>25072665
Just <giggle> and leave it at that.

>>25072665
<Much, much better. I can see now why Alex is always so cheerful recently.>

>>25072665
<If I'm going to be blamed for it anyway I might as well do it~>

>>25072719
Yes, that. Let her wonder.

Either that, or <You might want to introduce yourself to Luna. She didn't believe me that there was a telegroper on the station. You might enjoy spending time with her.>

>>25072665
Meanwhile, how about we practice some short-and-becoming-long-distance telepathy, or some light-bending?

>>25072723
Heh, seconding.

<If you have any questions, Devi, go ahead and ask them, alright?>
<I think I got the gist of it.> Devi said.

<I have learned so much about Nagala tongues in the past hour...>
All you got was a horrified <...> from Robin back.
<I can now see why Alex is always so cheerful recently.>
<...>
The horrified ellipsis only got... louder. Then the dam broke.
<It backfired!> Robin said. <Dammit, I want to use my groping for evil, not good!>

>>25072778
<You gotta get more tactical!>

>>25072749
>or some light-bending?
definitely this trying to make holograms/illusions may help us figure out the invisibility trick we're shooting for

>>25072778
"if the road to hell is paved in good intentions, is the road to redemption paved with evil?"

>>25072778
<Hey, I was trying to set you up for a bit of fun. I thought you might enjoy it, and I know Luna would have. Boy do I know she would have. Not my fault if you didn't want to take advantage of the opportunity.>

>>25072778

<you are far to sweet to be evil, come here so can hug you~!> tease mode activate

>>25072778
<Give it up, Robin, you have no choice but to become some sort of groping super-heroine.>

>>25072778
>>25072809
>Hey, I was trying to set you up for a bit of fun. I thought you might enjoy it, and I know Luna would have.

Yeah, I'd like to tell Robin what we were trying to do; let her know what she's missing.

>>25072778
>>25072813
This, and then say this in person:
>>25072809

>>25072778
<Muahahaha! You should never have tried to use my own power against me!>

>>25072778

if we can get her talking long enough, maybe she'll let slip which other Rho she fancied.

>>25072778
Gogogo light practice, go do invisible, solar powered etc.

>>25072824
The thought process at the time was more along the lines of "apocalyptic grope-off!"

>>25072778
What does an ellipsis sound like in telepathy? In speech it's typically an accompanying facial expression.

>>25072809
Not sure if it'll help or not, but it needs saying.

>>25072861

later we should ask Serpensal if the quality of our light beam is any good for feeding him.

>>25072868
There were a pile of people trying to fix up Robin and Luna, at the time, on the theory that she needed it almost as much as Heather did.

<Give it up, robin. You have no choice but to become some sort of groping super-heroine.>
<Aw, maaan.> She said.
<I was trying to set you up for a bit of fun. I thought you might enjoy it, and I know Luna would have." You say. "Boy, do I know she would have. Not my fault if you didn't want to take advantage of the opportunity.>
<... I'd like if you didn't meddle with my business like that.> She said, more seriously.

You think about what to do... Robin's just in the cafeteria alone, munching on snacks, or you could go to one of the testing chambers to practice more light, despite the fact that you still weren't rested from the last training you did, or you could do something else...

>>25072869
Probably a sensation of the feeling behind the facial expression.

>>25072882
Eat food with Robin.
Then go practice.

>>25072882
Oops, looks like we upset Robin a little. Let's go see her and smooth things out, then perhaps once we've done so, we can get her talking and learn said clone's number.

>>25072882
Go talk to Robin in person, apologize for the well-intentioned meddling (perfect time for this line
>>25072804
), and give her a friendly ear.

>>25072882
go to the cafeteria and hug robinthen go and fiddle around in what passes for a workshop in this place...

>>25072882
<How would you like me to meddle in your business?>

>>25072882
Go see Robin in the cafeteria. Apologise for meddling, and sit and talk with her for a while.

>>25072882
Lets go hang out with Robin in the cafeteria
<Oh, I wasn't trying to hook you up with her Robin, just start off a apocalyptic groping marathon.>
<Mind if I eat with you?>

>>25072882
>>25072904
This, and perhaps explain Heather's own feelings on the matter, and that we thought the same thing might help her.

>>25072910
No. We've been down that road, and no; she explicitly said she wasn't interested.

>>25072910
No, that'll just annoy her further.

>>25072924
We can also provide details if she wishes.

>>25072882

<Sorry, I got a little carried away on that, wasn't meant to be serious.>
<want to hang out for a little bit?>

we need some more snacks and a little rest, good opportunity to maybe get a little info on the other Rho.

>>25072937
>We can also provide details if she wishes.

Heh. After we talk to her more seriously, but yes.

>>25072904
>>25072895
Yup.

You make sure you were dressed- Luna apparently broke the clasp on your bra in her... haste- or was it you that broke it? That part's blurring together. And after fixing that with the omnitool, you make your way down to the cafeteria.
<Mind if I eat with you?>
<Sure, go ahead.> She said, and you walked in.
"Hey." She said, as you sat down, and slid you some candy. "Damien had me teleport to all these places on the first station to pick up as much of this stuff as I could. Apparently he had stashes on it. Split half of them with me."

>>25072950
"You must have been popping back and forth for a while. There was tons of the stuff last I can recall."

>>25072950
"Good deal. Hey, I'm sorry if I meddled too much, I just wanted to give you an opportunity is all. I wasn't ever going to try and force anything."

>>25072950
"He must have predicted that we'd need it."

"So, if the road to hell is paved with good intentions, is the road to heaven paved with evil ones? Because your evil intentions definitely led there."

"And I'm sorry for trying to set you up. I was kinda needing that myself, and...well, I thought you might too."

>>25072950

"Yeah, he sure likes his candy, even stashed a gun in there sometime ago."

"sorry for meddling, I didn't mean to sound serious about it."

>>25072950
"Split half of it? That's surprising."

>>25072996
We weren't trying to set her up with Luna, that was not the intention.

>>25072950
"Nice, thanks. Sorry if I was meddling, I just thought it might be fun, I promise, no more trying to get you sexy nagala milf action without your permission."

>>25072994
>Hey, I'm sorry if I meddled too much, I just wanted to give you an opportunity is all.

Yeah. It's not like we threw them at each other, we just set up an opportunity for Robin to have some fun if she wanted it. Apparently she didn't, or she couldn't admit that she did.

>>25073009
Some people were trying to set up a gropocalypse, and some people were doing both that and trying to let Robin have some fun, however far she wanted to take it. So, that was at least partly the intention.

>>25073030
>gropocalypse

OK, whatever else we say, that has to make it into Heather's explanation somehow.

>>25073019
This, but also: "Partly I just wanted to set up a gropocalypse, by introducing you to someone horny enough to enjoy your groping. And partly I thought you might like the opportunity for a fling. Or maybe that was just me."

"Split half of it?" You say. "That's surprising."
"He said he was going to give me a third, but then he foresaw that I wouldn't agree to it with only a third." She said, and disintegrated a wrapper with a touch, and took a bite.
"Sorry for meddling, I didn't mean to sound serious about it." You say. "Partly I just wanted to set up a gropocolypse, by ntroducing you to someone horny enough to enjoy your groping. And partly I thought you might like the opportunity for a fling. Or maybe that was just me."
"It's fine." She said, cheeks going slightly red.. "I'm just not... ready for that kind of thing." She said. "Like, think about it this way."

She held up a candybar. "Imagine this was someone else. Imagine I lost control."
The candybar burst into smoke, and dissolved.
"I don't want to do that to anyone."

>>25072950
It's going to be entertaining if Summer comes by. <Why are you wearing manifested panties?>

>>25073102
"Y-yeah. I see what you mean."

>>25073102
...Maybe you should get some practice in with Devy-kun? He seems interested in learning, if you can get over him trying to kill you before anyway.

>>25073102
"Ah. Is that partly... Sorry."
let's try and edge that Manufacturing number of the Rho that she had the hots for

>>25073102
"You have more natural control over teleportation than most people do over breathing. I trust you to teleport me around, even though that involves disintegrating and reintegrating me every time. We all trust each other with our lives on a regular basis. You can't let that fear prevent you from living."

>>25073102
"Oh."
It seems scary, but there's a simple solution: have Alex standing over you suppressing your powers while you fuck!

>>25073102

"I see what you mean, if you ever feel the need to talk about it, my door is always open... and if I'm not to engrossed in my work" frown a little at the bit.

>should we manifest her an indestructible stress toy?
>is that even possible?

>>25073157
Nah, let's not.

>>25073165
remember that she accidentally disintegrated her vibrator, she needs practice.

"So how are you coming along in preventing that from occurring?"

>>25073201
>remember that she accidentally disintegrated her vibrator, she needs practice
Oh, right. We should make her some 'training tools'.

>>25073165
Agreed on the pep talk there.

Also:
>>25073201
Yeah, we definitely need to encourage her to practice.

>>25073102
"Not to be crude about it, but practice makes perfect."

I wonder if we can shape the blackhole material into the right general form-factor?

>>25073165
This.

>>25073102
>>25073104
Hmmm. Summer's manifestations can wander out of Summer's sight; they could probably help Robin "practice".

>>25073165
She's a lot more focused when she teleports usually. We learned ourselves how hard it is to maintain powers while... distracted.

"Y-yeah, I see what you mean." You say. "So how are you coming along in preventing that from occurring?"
"Rather well." She said, and took a bite of chocolate. "By not doing anything."
"You have more natural control over teleportation than most people do over breathing." You say. "I trust you to teleport me around, even though that involves disintegrating and reintegrating me every time. We all trust eachother with our lives on a regular basis. You can't let that fear prevent you from living."
"You do realize I've killed people with this, before, right?" Robin asked, quietly. "My teleportation wasn't what awakened first. It was the disintegration that came up first."

She looked up. "Look at your hands. The other day, in the restaraunt, I disintegrated the skin on your palms. I can't control that."

>>25073291
That was a power we'd only just developed, and which comes naturally to us. Isaac could probably manage to screw in space and maintain atmosphere. And Robin can learn to not disintegrate her partner's equipment.

>>25073324
ugh i dont care

>>25073324
"If... you do it to yourself, can you recollect it?"

>>25073324
Put a hand on hers. "Yet. Not to be crude about it, but practice makes perfect."

Also, could she reassemble that candy bar she disintegrated, since she knows how to reintegrate things?

>>25073324
Hold up a hand. "I got better."

>>25073324
"And? I set myself on fire the other day. We're all extraordinarily dangerous. We just need to learn to control it."

>>25073324
Wat. Did she actually take all the skin off our hands without us even noticing?

>>25073397
Well said. What's a little inflammation between friends?

>>25073324
>"You do realize I've killed people with this, before, right?" Robin asked, quietly. "My teleportation wasn't what awakened first. It was the disintegration that came up first."

We need to hear more about this. This is important. We came here partly to see if Robin would reveal more about her past, and here it is.

>>25073324
"You can't just avoid it forever though. I'm sure you can get it under control with a little practice. I mean, you must've... uh... done stuff before, right?"

Hopefully this can subtly lead her into talking about her relationship with Rho-clone.

>>25073399
>You noticed.

"If... you do it to yourself, can you recollect it?"
"It doesn't really work like that." Robin said. "Not for me. Look."

She pulled back her sleeves, and grabbed her own arm. It burst into smoke for a moment, whirled... and came back into place, reforming into her arm again. "I can't be disintegrated for long. Kinda cool, though."
Her arm pamfed again.

"Well... Not to be crude about it, but practice makes perfect."
"Practice on what? Or who? I've already pamfed a few hundred dollars worth of equipment." Robin said. "Frustrating as hell."

"And? I set myself on fire the other day. We're all extraordinarily dangerous. We just need to learn to control it."
"I just want to pull a Lambda." She said. "The doctors say that you need the right genes for it, so I could get all those transgened out. Maybe it'd help the scientists find out what genes do what with psionics."

how is lambda?

>>25073461
"Well, if that's what you really want, then I won't argue, but have you talked to the advisers about setting up some tests to try and help you get your powers under better control. That's kind of what they're there for."

>>25073461

"that sounds dangerous in it's own right."

"do you want to talk about the first time your disintegration manifested? it might help."

>>25073461
"Practice on Devourer. If he lets you, that is."

>>25073461
>"Practice on what? Or who? I've already pamfed a few hundred dollars worth of equipment." Robin said. "Frustrating as hell."

Manifest some "equipment" for her. "That's an easily solved problem. Or you could always wander off with one of Summer's independent manifestations."

>>25073461
>"I just want to pull a Lambda." She said. "The doctors say that you need the right genes for it, so I could get all those transgened out. Maybe it'd help the scientists find out what genes do what with psionics."

"If that's really what you want. Though, if Jilly and I can work together to give psionic powers to anyone, which Manus thinks we can, I'm not so sure about the genes being a strict requirement. But just remember, you've saved lives with your powers, too."

>>25073529
This, making it very clear we meant the disintegration bit and not the sex.

>>25073525
>"do you want to talk about the first time your disintegration manifested? it might help."

This too.

>>25073529

he tried to eat her, twice.

I doubt she'll want to.

>>25073461
Manifest some new equipment for her.
"You really want to just... get rid of it?"

>>25073547

Devourer still needs a ton of rest before,

we should feed him something while we're in the cafeteria.

>>25073461
>"Practice on what? Or who? I've already pamfed a few hundred dollars worth of equipment." Robin said.

"Well, Summer or I could manifest up as much stuff as you want to practice on."

>>25073554
And we all tried to kill him. Bygones.

>>25073525
>"do you want to talk about the first time your disintegration manifested? it might help."

Yeah.

>>25073584
True, we should.

>>25073558
>>25073547
>Manifest some "equipment" for her. "That's an easily solved problem.

Or if manifestations don't behave the same way, it's not like we're not ludicrously wealthy. Though someone might blink at an entire pallet of toys being delivered.

>>25073461
"You're asking what you can use for practice in a place full of people that can make literally anything?"

>>25073461

just had a thought, Delta needs to get rid of some of his stuff right?

voila, perfect practice material.

>>25073592
Or in Summer's case, people.

>>25073632
Good thinking.

>>25073632
I doubt Robin will want to spend time around Delta, he seems to creep her out.

>>25073638
Not Delta, just his stuff.

>>25073547
>"If that's really what you want. Though, if Jilly and I can work together to give psionic powers to anyone, which Manus thinks we can, I'm not so sure about the genes being a strict requirement. But just remember, you've saved lives with your powers, too."

This seems like a reasonable response to her very serious thinking.

"That sounds dangerous in it's own right." You say.
"I have my progenitor's gene sequence. Her real one was on the data Alex stole. All of ours was, except for Sigma's. They can just look at the differences between hers and mine, and slowly change me back. I'd lose my reflexes, and it'd be like wading in molasses, but I'd be okay."
"Well, Summer and I could manifest up as much stuff as you want to practice on."
"I'll take it, but it won't help." She said.
"Do you want to talk about the first time your disintegration manifested? It might help."
"Alright, then." She said. "I was getting frustrated, the security were trying to corral all us Rhos into our beds for the night, and then one sec hit me. So I touched him, and pamf. Half of his torso disintegrated. That's it to the story. Few hours later, we were all unconscious, and when I came to, I was the only Rho left."

>>25073679
"...I'm sorry, Robin, I know it isn't easy for you. But, if you... if you ever want to talk about it, or about... her, you know I'll listen, right?"

>>25073679
>"Alright, then." She said. "I was getting frustrated, the security were trying to corral all us Rhos into our beds for the night, and then one sec hit me. So I touched him, and pamf. Half of his torso disintegrated. That's it to the story. Few hours later, we were all unconscious, and when I came to, I was the only Rho left."

"Do you really feel guilty about disintegrating someone who hit you? Or do you feel guilty because you manifested psionic powers and those assholes killed the other Rhos because of it?"

Survivor guilt.

>>25073679
"That's... Wow, those bastards."
Hug the loli

>>25073679
Wait, didn't she say she tried to hide her powers to protect the other Rhos but they somehow knew anyway? If that was the first time she used a power then she didn't get a chance.

>>25073679

the girl needs a hug, whether she knows it or not.

>>25073679
hug her hard NOW

>>25073712
They were probably herding them to their beds because they knew.

>>25073712
Yeah, that fits right in with
>>25073701
as well. It wasn't the disintegration, it was that she thinks she got the other Rhos killed. And yet if one of the others manifested powers first, she wouldn't be here. She shouldn't blame herself for the disgusting actions of those who cloned her.

>>25073701
>"Do you really feel guilty about disintegrating someone who hit you? Or do you feel guilty because you manifested psionic powers and those assholes killed the other Rhos because of it?"

That sounds like the real problem here, yeah.

>>25073712
>Wait, didn't she say she tried to hide her powers to protect the other Rhos but they somehow knew anyway? If that was the first time she used a power then she didn't get a chance.

Do you happen to have the reference for her saying that?

>>25073701
>"Do you really feel guilty about disintegrating someone who hit you? Or do you feel guilty because you manifested psionic powers and those assholes killed the other Rhos because of it?"

Aieee.

>>25073679
Use knowing on Robins disintegration, can she ever control it completely so she doesn't disintegrate things during sexy times?

>>25073762
I'm pretty sure it was in her after-thread interview.

"Do you really feel guilty about disintegrating someone who hit you? Or do you feel guilty because you manifested psionic powers and those assholes killed the other Rhos because of it?"
"The second one." She said. "I didn't know who I was. I'd defined myself by everyone else, and when everyone else was gone, I started... Lashing out. I couldn't be all of them, so I decided to be nobody. Wanted to see how much food they'd waste trying to feed me. Finally sent people in there, and... after they were dusted, they sent, well, Sigma, eventually."

You pull her into a hug- and hiss, as your clothes started to turn into smoke, skin from your arms scraping off. Robin put in some will, and it stopped.
"... Sorry." She said, and returned your hug.

>>25073701
Don't say "guilty", though. "terrible", or "sad", but not "guilty".

>>25073819
"Could you tell me about the other Rhos? It might help to just talk about it."

>>25073819
"What did Sigma do?"

>>25073819

"my own fault, don't worry, what did Sigma do?"

>>25073819
"See? You can control it. I trust you, with my life; I have before and odds are I will again. You're an awesome person, Robin, and you're not nobody. You weren't then, and you aren't now. If you really want to get rid of your powers, so be it, but don't do it because you feel like you don't deserve to be someone, or because you think you're going to hurt someone with them."

>>25073819
Those feels when you realize giving her telekinesis with tactile sensation is the only way she can touch someone without hurting someone

>>25073889
Except, evidently not.

>>25073849
If she wants to, yeah. We do want to find out this information eventually, and now seems like the best opportunity we're going to get.

>>25073871
Speaking of feels, this.

>>25073819
So, think we could mind link with her using clairvoyance and then share a knowing experience looking at her disintegrate ability?

>>25073923
That would be a good idea. Might give her more innate insight into it. Work with Jilly?

>>25073923
How about we just transfer what we learned when we did. That's way easier.

>>25073949
I like this

>>25073871
This for what to say.

>>25073923
This brilliant idea for what to do.

>>25073957
I think with Robin in the link she might know more of what to look for.

Maybe we could use Knowledge to learn how her disintegration works, then use the technopathy virus to make something that will change how it activates so it can only activate manually rather than subconsciously.
Or something.

>>25073971
Probably a bit beyond us right now, and I'm not sure how we could know we've gotten it right before transferring it. And in any case, her subconscious innate understanding of her own Where might go with it.

"Don't worry." You say. "What did Sigma do?"
"Told me that Armatek wanted her to talk to me, to talk me into eating." She said. "Instead, she drew a knife. Offered to kill me if I wanted."
There was a pause, and she tightened her hug.
"See? You can control it." You say. "I trust you, with my life; I have before and odds are I will again. You're an awesome person, Robin, and you're not nobody. You weren't then, and you aren't now. If you really want to get rid of your powers, so be it, but don't do it because you feel like you don't deserve to be someone, or because you think you're going to hurt someone with them."
"It's not that I don't deserve to be someone, it's just..."
She was quiet. "I can go anywhere, do anything, and yet I never really feel free."

>>25073923
>>25073949
This, and we should take a close look at her super-reflexes while we're at it. Maybe see if we can copy them.

>>25073999
"Free how? Free of worry that you'll hurt someone? Free of guilt? Free of what?"

>>25073923
>>25073949
This, so much this.

>>25073999
"Do you... want to talk about her?"

>>25073999

>damn, I can't think of anything to say.

"free in what sense?"

I don't think she needs to get rid of her powers, she just needs to somehow remove the mental response that links pleasure to DESTROY!

>>25074043
Do you think that's what she's getting at? If so, yeah, that. Hopefully she'll open up about it.

I also want to know the "free how?" question.

>>25073923
>>25073949
This seems perfect. We should offer, and see if she's willing to give it a try.

>>25074072
It's not just pleasure, it's any strong emotional response.

>>25074072
That's a disturbing thought, if true.

>>25074102
We could test that theory. Hand her something to hold, and then tell her about Luna, and that we're wearing manifested underpants.

>>25074124

not right now though.

"Free how? Free of worry that you'll hurt someone? Free of guilt? Free of what?"
"It's like I'm a bird in a cage. A robin." She said. "The cage is open, and I can fly out any time, but I never do."
"You think I could use Knowledge on your disintegrate ability, and use a mind link to let you see?"
"... That might help, I guess." She said. "Or it could make things worse. I don't know."
"Do you... want to talk about her?"
"Sigma?" Robin asked. "What happened after that was kind of... private." She said. "She did end up stabbing me after that, though. Disintegrated the blade."

>>25074124
>>25074152
No, definitely not right now. At the end of the conversation, though.

>>25074162
"No, I didn't mean Sigma." Just look at her, and wait for her to understand who we mean.

>>25074162
Haha! That's kind of funny.

Tell me about the other Rho's. They should be remembered.

>>25074162
>"It's like I'm a bird in a cage. A robin." She said. "The cage is open, and I can fly out any time, but I never do."

I'm having a hard time guessing what she means here. "Fly out?"

>>25074184
Yeah, the subtle, cautious approach seems best here. Let her realize what we're getting at and see if she wants to talk about it.

>>25074162
okay,but I'm willing to try that power of mine if you'll let me.

>>25074196
>>25074184
Put these together: "Funny, but no, I didn't mean Sigma."

>>25074228
Not yet, let's get Jilly involved so Robin can see it.

>>25074162
How about I use Knowledge to have a look, then I can tell you what I see, and if you think it will help, I can show you with telepathy?

>>25074239
>>>25074228
>Not yet, let's get Jilly involved so Robin can see it.

The deleted post this responded to said something like "let's use knowledge on her disintegration".

>>25074242
We already offered, and she said it might help.

Right now:
>>25074184
This, or
>>25074227
this.

>>25074253
It's poor form to restate deleted posts, if they're benign. Often the poster will just be rewording them or changing grammar.

>>25074203
>I'm having a hard time guessing what she means here. "Fly out?"

I'm really confused too, though I think asking about the other Rho should take priority.

>>25074239
>>25074253

I realized I miss read something, so I deleted it, sorry for the trouble.

>it said: "Let's use Knowledge on her disintegrate"

>>25074296
I only did so because my reply made no sense without it. It would have made sense if I'd quoted the post in my reply.

"No, I didn't mean Sigma." You said, and waited.
"... Oh." Robin said. "... There's not much to it. We started as friends, became twins, then... more than that. Incest wasn't a thing, there."
She let go of you and went back to the candy. "And that's pretty much my life story. From being born in a vat to power hungry asshats to here."
"... I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean by 'Fly out'."
"I'm not sure what I mean either." Robin said. "It's just a silly metaphor."

>>25074162
Rho, someday soon, nobody will be constantly trying to murder all of us. I want to be able to move around a bit too.

>>25074329
"Why don't you tell me about her? What was she like?"

>>25074329
Is it because we can't really move about freely with a megacorp and a powerful psychic entity trying to murder us?

>>25074352
Probably a lot like Robin.

>>25074329
"Can I ask...which Rho was she?"

Or some other wording if someone can suggest something better.

>>25074329
"Well, at least things are improving, no power hungry asshats round here, that I know of... Do you want to talk about her? What was she like? Was she as pervy as you?"

>>25074329
I wonder if we should push for the other Rho's number, so Damien can go and get her, or focus on getting Rho back into shape so that when the other Rho gets here she isn't Pamfed in more ways then one.

"Come on, let's try the Knowledge trick. It can't hurt."

>>25074329

"what did you call each other? calling everyone Rho must have gotten confusing at some point."

>>25074373
>Or some other wording if someone can suggest something better.

How about. "So did she come up with a name for herself, or did you just call each other by number?"

>>25074393
That'd be interesting to know.

>>25074403
Nicely done. This.

>>25074388
>I wonder if we should push for the other Rho's number, so Damien can go and get her, or focus on getting Rho back into shape so that when the other Rho gets here she isn't Pamfed in more ways then one.

Both. Let's ask about the other Rho, and go find Jilly so we can link up and try Knowledge.

>>25074422
>Both. Let's ask about the other Rho, and go find Jilly so we can link up and try Knowledge.

Indeed, once we're done wading through the swamp of spaghetti that will be our next meeting with Jilly.

>>25074444
Bonus.

>>25074444
>inb4 we roll "badly" and share our time with luna with jilly and robin

>>25074474

that won't happen unless we try to share information instead of Jilly taking it from our head.

probably...

>>25074474
I'm all for sharing it with Robin intentionally, but not right now.

"What did you call each other?" You ask. "Calling everyone Rho must have gotten confusing at some point."
"We didn't use names." Robin said. "We were never really taught them. I was just me, and she was her. We met in the same place until we were able to recognize eachother. ArmaTek gave out these colored bands we could use so that we could discern who was who. I went all black, like my clothes. She was red black and purple. Sometimes red purple and more red."
"Do you want to talk about her? What was she like? Was she as pervy as you?"
"Hah, no, not at all." Robin said. "She was quiet, extremely so. Really introverted, and quiet. You had to drag every word out of her. It took me almost a year to discover that she was so quiet because she didn't want to offend. She cared about other people. A lot. Wouldn't hurt a fly."
"Can I ask... which Rho was she?"
"She was Rho 748." Rho 124 said.

>>25074524
Hug her again.

>>25074524
"C'mon. Why don't we go see if we can find Jilly, and the three of us can let you get to know your powers a bit better. And with any luck I can avoid giving her TMI about Luna."

Then head towards Jilly, and send the Rho number to Damien.

>>25074524
>"She was Rho 748." Rho 124 said.

Success. Damien's going to have such a surprise in store for Robin later. Or possibly now, if he saw this detail coming in our conversation.

>>25074569
>"C'mon. Why don't we go see if we can find Jilly, and the three of us can let you get to know your powers a bit better. And with any luck I can avoid giving her TMI about Luna."

This.

>>25074524
<Rho 748, Damien.>

Exhale slowly, lay our head on the cafeteria table and use Knowledge to find out what happened to the mulched Rhos.

>>25074524
Oh it's on now

>>25074606
I think we already know. They were mulched into nutrient paste and pumped into Rho 124.

>>25074569
and the colors on the band she wore

>>25074524
>Rho 748
>score!

hugs for the hug god,

we should probably have some scientists and a doctor on hand, very important.
also, send Damien Rho 748's number and ask if what we're about to try will have a backlash on Jilly or Rho.

>>25074569
Seconded.

>>25074606
Uh, they were mulched. And then the mulch was probably used as fertilizer or soylent green something.
We really don't need to see that.

>>25074524
alright I guess that's enough prying for know lets go find Jilly and see what we can do with my Knowledge. <damien I got the info on the rho you wanted to save.>

>>25074524
<748.> to Damien
"I'm sorry. For getting all depressive on you. Let's go and accidentally slip TMI on Jilly?"

>>25074605
<Her colours were red, black, purple, or red purple red>

>>25074524

send as much info as we can about Rho 748 to Damien, the color combinations, her introverted nature, all of it!

<Rho 748, Damien.> You say. <Her colours were red, black, purple, or red purple red.>
<What were Robin's colors?>
<All Black.> You responded.
"I'm sorry for getting all Depressive on you." You say. Robin looked up and sniffled, shaking her head.
"Yeah, good point." She said, and hugged you tightly.
"C'mon. Why don't we go see if we can find Jilly, and the three of us can let you get to know your powers a bit better. And with any luck I can avoid giving her TMI about Luna."
"Alright." She said, and wiped at her eyes.
<... I need Devourer for this.> Damien said. <Or I will. Can he get small enough to carry around?>

>>25074700
<Well, since he's currently resting in my pocket, I'd say so.>

>>25074700
><... I need Devourer for this.> Damien said. <Or I will. Can he get small enough to carry around?>
<he's riding in my pocket right now, so yes>

>>25074700
<Yes he can. Let me ask him if he is willing to help.>

<Hey Devi, are you willing to help out me and Damien rescue Robin's lover from death?>
