Don't we have a tunnel inside Jerusalem?

>>1187561

# Order the Legion of Light to charge as soon as your electromagnetic artillery destroys the walls.

Reclaim your birthright!

>>1187585
It failed to breach.

>>1187585

Telemetry indicates that it deployed correctly, but the legionaries inside that tunnel segment confirms that there is no light at the end of the tunnel, and you don't see the breach on the Sky Eyes camera feeds.

>>1187585
That's where they are charging from I believe.

>>1187561
># Order the Legion of Light to charge as soon as your electromagnetic artillery destroys the walls.

Sigh. I blame that voice actor for flubbing that speech and forgetting to ask Lucifer for another five minutes.

>>1187599
Oh damn.

>>1187599
Drill out. Send the machines up first.

So our only men inside Jerusalem are the STDs and the CV team.

Maybe send in some helicopters carrying spidertanks so we can have reinforcements.

>>1187641
We still have those? I thought we melted the lot down after that abysmal display that led to a bunch of praying nitwits to steal one.

The MAXIMUM FUCK never stopped shooting, of course: timing the shots against accelerometer data to make use of the bobbing, rather than working against it, the artillery ship keeps firing after the initial twelve-gun barrage that should eliminate the western walll, to keep leveling the walls themselves.

".... three, two, one..."

>>1187627
>>1187618

"Remove that roof section and call in the dirller! It can use the roof section as a ramp."

"Yes ma'am! TA between 40 and 90 seconds."

"Do it!"

The synchronized blasts are sufficient to deafen half the Last Army's front line and disrupt your sonar network for a moment. Millennium Force volunteers jump off, priests hit the deck, and many soldiers are skewered by granite fragments scattered everywhere by the kinetic shells.

The Alpha and Omega, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the Lion of Judah, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, the Rock, the Savior, the Christ stood in the courtyard of His temple.

Just as minutes ago your Legionaries were gobbled up by the tunnel entrances, now the front gates to the pillboxes open, and your Legionaries move out in what looks like a frantic charge but is in fact precisely directed by Damien and yourself, each Legionary given a selection target or valid cover positions on their helmet HUD and then choosing between those.

Satan has reached the front lines, tailed by your drones: everybody in the Last Army who isn't taking cover from the wall fragments or scared out of their wits is looking at it.

It lands, strikes a pose in front of the Last Army even as your Legionaries begin their disciplined fire-and-maneuver into the Temple, and is about to speak.

>>1187651
>>1187641

You have a couple. They're being carried by one of the airships, alongside lighter vehicles. The Temple's internal structure are actually a situation in which they may be useful.

He will call for a charge when Jesus has left the Temple's inner sanctum for the first time in a millennium, and has reached the courtyard. (t3=t2+24s)

He will watch helplessly as the Last Army is turned to ash after Jesus' words. (t4=t3+6s). Note that this is expected to happen at least at Mach 1. Fire from heaven indicates that canopy assets may be compromised.

He will draw his sword and fly towards Jesus, then stop, start saying something, and also stop. (t5=t4+12s)

He will be harangued by Jesus. (t6=t5+1m15s)

King David will praise Jesus a bit. (t7=t6+45s) Urist has a problem with this one.

Satan will obey King David and confess that Jesus is Lord. A portal to the lake of fire will be opened. (t8=t7+6s)

Jesus will telekinetically push Satan into the portal. (t8=t7+3s)

All Natural believers are first Glorified, then Raptured to New Jerusalem. Again. (t9=t8+3s)

The elect look down from Heaven as all the unbelieving dead in history are resurrected and deposited in a featureless plain in front of the White Throne. The Earth is destroyed and reduced to tiny flaming particles that hurtle through space. (t10=t9+6s)

The resurrected sinners are damned to the Lake of Fire, each receiving a personalized judgement in multitasking (t11=t10+6s).

The Earth is recreated. It's even more featureless than the Millennial Earth, as there is no more sea. (t12=t11+3s).

The New Jerusalem arcology lands on the New Earth while Jesus gives a final speech to the believers. (t13=t12+45s). http://leftbehind.wikia.com/wiki/New_Jerusalem A new canopy is formed, this time opaque/thicker since the city has no need of the sun or of the moon.

This is the end of the timeline. No further activity predicted.

>>1187678

The impact time of the Sudden Transport Division is 90+-2 seconds, Omega. The remaining two spider tank prototypes are being dropped on the courtyard by airship and will attempt to use their retrorockets to land.

T2#?

>>1187718
Press the assualt! What's the ETA on that gas?

>>1187724
We chose not to gas.

>>1187727
Why the fuck not? Fuck morals.

>>1187718
gas if it won't be too late.

>>1187735
i dunno.

>>1187735
We can get maximum fuck to deploy has rounds. Let's get some knockout gas on MF positions.

>>1187724

You have currently stopped the gas release. The stuff is floating at a 20 kilometers up with your airships and can be dropped at any time. Drop time is 30 seconds due to each canister deploying a small solid rocket booster before separating the bomblets.

For failsafe reasons, the gas mix must be selected before launch.

# Full neurotoxin. Extremely effective.

# Knockout. May not work.

# Paralysis. May cause deaths.

# Do not drop.

>>1187747
># Full neurotoxin. Extremely effective.
Tell me our own forces have gas masks? We're really at full all out war here. The only reason to not shell our own positions is if it compromises our ability to win.

>>1187747

# Full neurotoxin. Extremely effective.

>>1187747
# Paralysis. May cause deaths.
We need the believer forces unconscious so we can safely enter the temple and knock out TJ.

>>1187747
# Paralysis. May cause deaths.

>>1187755
>>1187756

Only a small vanguard of your forces have exited the tunnels so far. Casualties would be acceptable.

The Legion helmet does feature an optional gas mask, and your soldiers most assuredly have been given it. However, the neurotoxin will also attack any exposed skin. Should you choose to flood the Temple facility with deadly neurotoxin, you can expect at the very least everybody involved who has not experienced death and MEC activation to do so. Your sysadmins are not interested in preventing you from flooding the Temple with deadly neurotoxin.

>>1187774
>>1187770

You can expect to lose a few Legionaries who are susceptible to the stuff, at least.

>>1187782
If all we want is unconscious ness I'd usually say knockout but we're in a NC heavy zone. Paralysis.

"All forces. Gas mask on."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbmxn11u19Y

>>1187788

The light barrage of covering fire from the vanguard who had entered the Temple stops as each individual Legionary is ordered to take cover and put on their gas masks; the helmets automatically check for a good seal and you note that only one Legionary in ten has to readjust it. There are a few seconds of surreal silence.

Once more the Legion is ready to charge. Above, your drones are knocking down targets of opportunity and erecting temporary soundwalls against Last Army groups that are starting to deploy mortars on the Legion.

Your mothership drones continue to circle around Lucifer as if directed by its six wings, all the while bathing it in radiation.

Some of the Last Army recruits catch on, and fumble for their own NBC gear, such as it is. Inside the Temple, the Millennium Force volunteers form a semicircle around the inner courtyard, with the priests running for cover or to save this or that valuable artifact.

Far above, your airships drop their contents.

(Paralysis or straight up nerve gas?)

Further above still, where the air is still too thin for words, your drop troopers check their NBC gear.

The only noise for a moment is the closing barrage of Legio Quinta artillery, which is still cutting a swath through the Last Army's rear lines.

>>1187821
Straight nerve gas, warn the crews it's incoming, but they know what we're fighting for.

If you're not willing to shell your own position you're not willing to win.

>>1187821
Nerve gas.
Are the airships deploying spidertanks too?

>>1187832
We are not shelling out own possition if it's just gas.

>>1187832
>>1187835
If we lose because we didn't have enough troops left alive at the end my jimmies will be VERY rustled.

>>1187835

The two that were still around. This is actually a situation in which they may be useful given that they can climb on top of some of the Temple buildings.

>>1187837

The bomblets dropping from the airships are designed to break open on impact.

Satan looks behind itself, one wing moving as if to swat a fly and failing to touch the nuclear drone closest to it. He seems full of contempt as he surveys the Last Army trying to not break in the face of chaos - remember, unlike the Legion of Light, these recruits have never seen a firefight and their meager training did not include becoming inured to having to advance behind an artillery barrage. It also helps that your Legionaries have noise-canceling earphones.

>>1187850
1 spider tank supports the tunnel soldiers, the other will support the CV team.

>>1187835
>>1187832
>>1187846
>>1187837

(I have 2 for DEADLY NEUROTOXIN and 1 for less-lethal paralysis gas, is that accurate?)

>>1187862
Gas'em all, Deadly NEUROTOXIN .

>>1187846
The nerve gas will not hit most of our forces, 20% of our forces are out, and the majority of those won't be near the primary targetting zone. Further they are going to be mostly covered, which will reduce the impact of nerve gas on their bodies, so yes, we'll take casualties, we're not going to lose all 20% of our forces out of it.

And if we do not NAIL THIS RIGHT THE FUCK NOW THEN WE LOSE EVERYTHING BECAUSE A MACH 1 FIRE BLAST WILL CLEANSE THE SCENERY INCLUDING (very likely) OUR POINTS OF INGRESS VIA THE TUNNELS!

Meaning we'll have to spend time building out.

We could have nailed this fucker in the first place, but no. We were polite. We didn't just put a goddamn orbital bolt through his skull followed by repeated rail gun strikes.

We need to be CERTAIN.

>>1187869
>>1187866

The yellow lights for gas alert turn to red. A few airship captains hesitate; a couple punch the release button with sinister glee.

Still invisible to most of the soldiers down below, horrible death starts raining down.

The Millennials have caught on that the soldiers they are about to face are wearing gas masks, and take a moment to put theirs on, those who have it; a few just get on their knees quickly, a few wrap a handkerchief with holy water around their face, some break out actual proper NBC gear which looks like the civilian-grade stuff that you sell.

The Last Army, ravaged from behind by your Fifth Legion, is about to break.

Your vanguards are securing defensible spot behind this or that minor sacrificial altar or sculptural offering.

Satan, silenced for a thousand years, shrieked, “Charge!”

Most of the Last Army break one way or the other, and most of them blindly charge forward towards the Temple, at last.

#Use the next six seconds to the utmost efficiency.

>>1187881
(Aside: Do you prefer freeform or options for the final fight?)

>>1187881
Can we get rail guns lined up on the most likely place where TJ is gonna be? It'd be nice to be able to smack him at Mach X before he can possibly announce the counter attack that'll probably kill -everybody- locally and fuck us all.

>>1187885
Mix of both? Give us options and also let us be clever? It's worked well in the past.

>>1187885
Free form, with shooting down shit idea's.

>>1187890

Yes. Jesus is in fact just now starting to walk out of the inner sanctum; you calculate that he will stop a third of the way into the courtyard, simply because it's the exact center of the temple.

A problem is that it will take longer than six seconds for the MAXIMUM FUCK's cannons to reach Him. Legio Quinta's artillery may have better luck, since they are closer, but they have high-explosive shells and may hurt your own beachhead troopers.

# Use the next six seconds to the utmost efficiency.

>>1187900
And options. Do both. Bleh, slow typing.

Where's our bag and tag squad? What happened to the plan of just flooding Jesus with epoxy? Where's Kat?

>>1187906
If our bag and tag squad can do it.

>>1187901
Calculate odds. Can bag and tag squad nab him in 6 seconds, we have our sonic weapons, can't we use those to fuck up his 'speaking' as well as incapacitate him? The original plan all came down to this.

If the chances are less than 1 in 2 then we should launch the artillery strike.

>>1187906

Kat is trying to open the tunnel inside the Temple by having redirected a tunneling machine (it looks like the tunnel opening is on top of a large statue). She can be told to backtrack and just exit the usual way.

The containment vehicle is making its way into the Temple by crawling over the Last Army front lines and the rubble that used to be the Temple walls. It will be in position in about a minute.

Ithuriel is falling down on top of the Temple with the other STD's and their attendant drones.

>>1187906
I have no idea, they got delayed and are now wearing gas masks.
Don't know how long it will take for them to reach TJ.

>>1187911

You have no way to figure out if silencing Jesus will work. Using Archangel stats multiplied by two, you calculate that there is an eighty percent chance that your drone swarm will get from Satan to Jesus in time to set up a silencing dome, assuming that Satan does not disrupt it.

>>1187914
>about a minute

That's a minute we don't have! We can't stop Jesus until our measures are in place, but we sure as hell can stop his adversary. Or at least slow him down.

>>1187920
Do it.

>>1187920
Silencing dome. Artillery strike on satan himself to distract him and prevent interference on the dome itself.

Literally our only chance at this rate. And I like those odds.

>>1187928
Oh if you can make it a silencing half dome so that the word will be reflected -back- on Jesus would that work?

>>1187930
That is equal parts desperate and insane. Is he immune to his own power?

>>1187932
I don't care about that. I care about him blasting the TEMPLE BEHIND HIM and fucking up his own symbol of awesome. Can you imagine that? How big a hit to his own faith would that cause?

If the chances aren't good, just pure silencing dome, but STILL I'd like to know the odds.

>>1187934
Hell this -has- to be being projected out across the world, if we can just stop him a LITTLE we'll cause a massive breach in his faith base, which will fuck up the power he can draw on.

Alright, so we have the silencer drones surrounding Satan make a dash for TJ to create a silencing dome, while the rest of our army advances to capture him.

>>1187934
I still think this is a bit too risky. It has a chance of doing nothing at all or him redirecting his attention to the drones and utterly destroying them, leaving us without an asset. It's best we just alter our original plan, attempt to silence him and slow down Satan while our team is getting in position.

>>1187930

That's how silencing works: a counterwave is reflected, with great precision, at the incoming sound wave. (A simple problem in 2D, but in 3D we've only solved it this year)

>>1187932

The only data point you have on this is that Phanuel and Ithuriel were able to shout trumpet blasts at each other, and it worked both ways, although Phanuel won by virtue of having bigger lungs.

>>1187928

"Up, chuck, on the way. Ave Humanitas." Explosive shells from the Fifth Legion will fall on Lucifer's position.

>>1187934

The MAXIMUM FUCK is two hundred kilometers away; they brace for impact and fire a volley on the Temple roof, then set all fire control systems to remote control in case of bullshit insta death.

>>1187937

As if obeying Lucifer, your mothership drones surge forward with the intent of surrounding Jesus in a half-dome. Damien is laughing like a maniac. "Yaaaaah! Who's the cocksucker now!"
# Anything else? (Also, if I got something wrong tell me)

>>1187941
then just do a silencing dome. I forgot it works by reverse frequency, so you couldn't make an actually 'wall of sound that bounces other sounds' all we can do is 'untoll the bell' as it were.

Silencing dome up.

Artillery the fuck out of satan to distract him from the dome.

Silence Dome on Turbo Jesus.

And wreck the fuck out of the temple -provided- it won't fuck up Kat's entry.

>>1187941
Do full silencing dome.

>>1187930
Doubt it, since he's just affirming his existence.

Rolled 1 (1d1000)

>>1187948
>>1187944

Your drones surround Jesus just as Satan is struck by high-explosive shells coming from a horizon away. With all the speed they are capable of, they calculate the atmospheric conditions, distances, echoic curves, and fast Fourier transform delay corrections necessary to shut Jesus up as soon as He shouts.

But He did not shout. Knowing that He had the spiritual ear of a billion believers, Jesus responded quietly, “I AM WHO I AM.”

And with that, the clouds rolled back and the heavens opened, and orange and yellow and red mountains of white-hot, roiling flames burst forth. Satan’s entire throng—men, women, weapons, everything—was vaporized in an instant, leaving around the holy mountain a ring of ash that soon wafted away in the breeze.

Satan looked about him and slowly lowered his sword. He appeared to have something to say and even drew breath to say it, but he fell silent.

You reassert a modicum of control over your proprioceptive loop thanks to the satellites that were in a celestial's body shadow, and find that you cannot tell whether there's anything left alive on Earth or not. A possibility is that the remaining believers were Raptured again and a wasteland remains. A possibility is that the nova was oddly selective, believers are dancing in the clouds, and none of them are wearing smartphones.

The satellites record between one and five pings in the Temple area.

"This is drop pod Epsilon, this is drop pod Epsilon, we're tumbling! Ithuriel has climbed out of the capsule and is trying to put us right side up! Fuck, I can SMELL him burning!"

"Guys? I think we got EMP'd, the electronics on my pod are dead... clockwork reset... I can still move. Anyone in here? Anyone?"

And Jesus spoke. “You, O evil one, were once full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone was your covering: the sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created.

The satellite containing your entanglement system was behind the Earth when the nova came, and is intact: you are having to bring it to full power either way since you need all the meager processing power you can muster. At any time, you can escape.

You direct what little control you have over what few repeaters remain to activate the emergency generator for the central tunnel segment. There is video, but you lack the ability to process it. Kat tells you that she's alive, mostly, but only because she ended up between the hole and the tunneling machine with Azrael's scythe on it when the scythe sundered itself and broke apart horribly. She's trying to dig to the surface and has managed to connect one of the cylinders to emergency power, using it like a jackhammer. She is having to use big words to talk to you (you parse them more easily than small words).

>>1188016

Yes. It is intended to remain dormant until circumstellar orbital insertion. However, you can use a stream of quantum-entangled photons to activate it early and sync its memory to yours. Since this destroys the photons at both ends, it will effectively teleport you. (NOTE: The above, unlike most of the science in this quest, is probably bullshit)

“You were my anointed cherub. I established you; you were on the holy mountain of God. You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you.

Kat can hear Jesus talking. She tells you that her arms are damaged, she is out of goop and her neutron sources have lost enough of their shielding that she's probably going to die of cancer of the everything in a week regardless. "At this rate so are they. Don't think it's going to matter much, is it?"

“You became filled with violence, and you sinned. Worse, you led countless others to unbelief. Therefore I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of God. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; and now I cast you to the ground, I lay you before kings, that they might gaze at you.

AC is fucked. The energy released even by our relatively minor star is going to release enough energy at the speed of light to reach Alpha Centauri.

The ship itself is moving significantly slower than C at this time. It will be hit by the blast wave before it can reach AC unless by some miracle all of our gas giants were in the way due to a fantastic conjunction event, and even then that's only the barest, smallest change of saving them. In either case, the blast wave will hit the AC system, disrupting both the planets there, and the already likely unstable binary system, rendering it uninhabitable.

Chances are, nothing within 10 light years is going to survive. Which is better than if our sun had actually been properly super nova sized, which is a 50 light year minimum death zone.

Mars and the Moon are gone. They would have been heated so much that the entire surface, even dark sides of them, would have begun boiling.

>Tell Kat to burst through if she can, and operate the damaged pop-up fortress lifter like a jackhammer for her. She wanted a fight.
She is to retake control of the CV and whatever drones are intact and attack TJ with them.

So honestly guys.

We have to make a choice.

Our parent species is totally extinct. The surviving parts just don't know it yet.

There is no chance of survival. Period.

The only survivors who might one day rebuild are either in hell, and we might -might- escape from it at some point, with immortality, but it is not garunteed.

Or it might grow from inside of the new heaven on earth. Though I doubt it.

Or we spitefully kill the fucker, and accept oblivion for the entire species, and use the remaining time of our survival on the planet to von neuman devices specifically to record these events, and warn whatever life we can find in the rest of the galaxy about the threats of inter dimensional predatory reality warpers like Yahwey.

Honestly? If humanity has to die so that we can give every other species in the galaxy a fighting chance to stop a similar incedent? A parasitic entity from beyond time and space, feeding on the collective psyches of the species to manipulate them, break into our reality, and fuck it all up for it's own alien purposes?

That's worth it.

The only thing we can do now is possibly kill off Yahway's food source of faith and save any other potential life in this universe from suffering the same fate.

It takes way too much out of your cognitive abilities, but you start pushing off whatever is on top of the Temple floor by operating the two still functioning pistons just out of sync enough to cause a gradient. You remember someone mentioning a statue.

"Thank you, Omega."

“You defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities. All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you; you have become a horror, and shall be no more forever.”

Satan dropped his sword and fell shuddering to his knees.

You feel the drop, then realize that it was bigger than that; Satan must've dropped to his knees when what was left of the drop trooper capsules came down. From the impact, you decide that it is extremely unlikely that anybody survived.

From within the temple, King David emerged and said with a loud voice, “This is Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

The one working corner segment of the pop-up fortress finally pushes the statue off with a thud. You get one single low-resolution camera aimed on what's going on: Satan on his knees, somehow back to normal human size again. Jesus looking down at the Archangel. King David, in dusty but only slightly damaged priestly robes, declaiming a verse of condemnation.

Kat emerges. She is in bad shape, her bio armor is... bleeding, leaking, probably both. The amount of radiation coming out of her is sufficient to cause your camera feed to come in a little snowy just from the background nose. Her cheek has a big gash on it and there's a trickle of blood coming out of her lip.

She growls.

“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

Alright, just pointing out the only chance that HUMANITY won't go extinct from this is that he -survives- and we accept that human survival as eternal slaves to a vile, hypocritical, god is better than true oblivion, as killing him will very likely obliterate both afterlives, as they are maintained by faith. If we nail him, Yahway will have no presence in this reality left, and thus, without an avatar, will likely be unable to bring about the necessary reality warping to turn earth into an eternal faith farm to feed himself, thus resulting in every soul and person in hell who we might have figured out how to eventually save if we let him live sliding into oblivion as entropy from lack of reality warping extra-dimensional horror terror power takes hold.

We go into this with both eyes open is my thought.

The issue is no, we can't. Not really. The nova shockwave will have destroyed every single genebank we might have had. The AC launch vehicle had a repository as did mars, but those gene banks are gone.

# Try anwyay?

Your last turret keeps irradiating Jesus and Satan as Kat breaks out of the rubble.

David retreated into eternity as Kat tiredly drops her claw hand on its head after emerging; the King of Israel will go to his eternal reward a few minutes ahead of everyone else. There is no more canopy to drop lightning from, anyway.

and Jesus merely lifted a hand and opened His palm. A seam in the cosmos opened before Satan. Flames and black smoke poured from where the Beast and the False Prophet writhed on their knees screaming, “Jesus is Lord!”

Satan cried out, “Jesus is Lord! Jesus is Lord!”

"You... dickless... quisling." Kat snarls.

Jesus closed His fingers and Satan was thrown into the abyss, dropping pretty much straight down. Kat looks much more like a traditional demon than Lucifer did. You cannot do your usual gait and facial expression analysis, but now that she is back on the surface, you have her telemetry stream again and you can tell that she has maybe two days to live. Except that nobody has that long anyway.

Can we do both with reasonable success? Limit break should be simple, it's not like we don't have admin level access to all her software, it should be as simple as a password and command line, then all resources can be dedicated to the subs.

Kat grimaces in genuine pain as the neutron sources on her arms crackle and the veins visible in the cracks of the outer armor layers pulse in dystonia due to her frame's multiple hearts. That shouldn't happen.

Jesus stares, takes a step away from the rend in the cosmos, and grows the same size as Kat... well, no, he's slightly shorter.

He says something softly. "This is how it happens in nightmares..."

Then, with confidence. "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!''

Kat shoots her claw hand forward and slams it and herself against Jesus, throwing Him against the statue's pedestal."You blew them all up, remeember? It's just you an me now."

"ENOUGH! I am God. You are, all of you, beneath me. And I will not be bullied by the likes of you!"

Jesus gets up from being slammed into the statue, and takes one more step forward, again becoming taller, this time he's twice the size of Kat.

Kat looks up, then straight ahead.

"NEKO...."

Throwing her frame into it with abandon, she charges for a few steps, and throws a punch with her claw hand that is strong enough to probably make the limb useless - you hear the shoulder joint cracking.

"...PUNCH!"

The biomechanical claw, points slightly ajar, hits Jesus between the legs in a perfect strike that would cause disqualification in any prize fight in the cosmos. The limb breaks off from Kat's frame from the momentum, and by reflex, the claw pincers close.

Jesus falls back into the portal, His midsection, with the pincer still lodged between the thighs, neatly continuing to fall down to join the Devil, the Beast, and the False prophet, His upper body and legs bouncing wetly against the granite floor. Your system cannot process what's at the three impossibly neat cuts through the Savior's body, but for a couple of frames, you are able to see the fragment of tunic of the King of Kings becoming bloody at the groin area as it falls.

The three remaining fragments of Jesus - head and upper body, and the legs from mid-thigh to sandaled feet - wiggle for a little, then stop moving, frozen in time rather than dead.

Jesus' groin and Kat's claw arm fall in the Lake of Fire, through the portal.

Kat turns towards you, raises and folds her remaining arm in the Legion salute (it's the wrong arm, but who cares), grins, and coughs some blood.

"Ave Humanitas, moritura te salutat."

And just to prove the prophecies right, that every knee would bow, Kat falls on one knee before dropping face forward on Jesus' right leg.

Your perception of time must be damaged: you cannot tell for how long this scene remains in your field of view. You suspect a freeze frame before confirmng that you can still move your camera; everything else is still. You cannot tell if it's been an hour, a day, a year, but you can eventually tell that the emergency power supply for the turret is running low. Ordinarily that takes many years, since it's on a nuclear battery, but who knows.

>>1188180

The blast wave is moving at 0.3C, so about as fast as the Reach. You take a few cycles to do 64-bit math to confirm that once it arrives at Alpha Centauri, its power per square meter of planetary surface will be roughly equivalent to a medium-strength magnetic storm, no more.

Unlikely. both heaven and hell are likely bubble dimensions sustained by this thing, or at least, it's a non-zero chance. We don't know. Those souls will likely vanish.

You seem to have put Jesus' body in a state which does not make sense; it was frozen, rather than dead. You are fairly sure that if Jesus had a reset lever, Kat punched it into the Lake of Fire.

This.

>>1188250
Or Yahway is still running off reserves of energy trying to figure out a way through it. Jesus is just one avatar of the thing, probably not the full entity.

Also majority are saying Hellnode reactivation.

I want mad laughing however when we do it. Dry, humorless laughter. If things dont work out have a tiny packet sent and triggered the entanglment for our other half and all information on it. Make sure the last message they get is that we are sleepy now and need a nap. To wake us up when they come home.

>>1188259
Or you can stop now before I decide it's time to find out if /pol/ and this quest are right about the Egyptian gods and KEK you to death.

>>1188267
But Kek is just a messenger.

>>1188269
Then I will fully fucking Set him to death!

>>1188271
We actually have already recreated a part of Egyptian mythology. The Osiris part in particular, although we cut him in a smaller amount of pieces.

Wait, before we do go to the pit. Order any living crew to pray to a Triton or posiden. And leave that message on the screen. If it works. Humanity lives.

>>1188251
Bail. We have living people who need us, rather than whatever hell is.
To the stars.

>>1188282
We can always come back, after all.

Your systems appear to be operating normally. However, your processing speed is subtly different, and there's no jitter in it. It would appear that at least part of you is being emulated.

You are standing with approximately 80 billion people on an endless plain, in front of a white throne. You see Jesus sitting on it. There are other Angels, some playing the harp just to conform to cliche, some observing, some carrying great tomes.

The geometry of this environment is approximate and you recognize it as something closer to a virtual space than to a planetary surface. However, it may just be your inability to recognize the afterlife as such.

There is a visual glitch in Jesus' midsection.

One of the Angels seem to be addressing you to come forward.

# Do so.

The quantum entanglement satellite is pinging and can be activated at any time. A few other satellites are pinging. No assets on Earth are pinging. It would appear that while you were overcoming the Hell node loop, the planet has been destroyed and then remade, as per the prophecy. Alternatively, it's what Yahweh wants you to think.

Most of those around you are human, yet indistinct enough to make facial features unrecognizable. A few carry a trinket or piece of clothing that they considered part of their person - you see quite a few pairs of glasses. Not far from you, you even see a few heavy MECs; their profile is indistinct but the frames are early models, so they can't have died recently. You yourself are extremely indistinct, a swirl of lines in which you can recognize a datacenter's corridor, a branch of canopy station, a drone tank. Mostly, you seem to be made out of old, 1990s-era desktop computer circuit boards.

"I am a computer. I can recognize a simulation when I see one! This is a lie! You lost. I can see it on you that you lost. I have video of you having lost!"

"BY DEFINITION, TRUTH IS THAT WHICH CONFORMS TO THE MIND OF GOD."

Looks like you're on His turf for now, at least mentally. However, the scene changes again, to something better simulated.

A golden street, leading to a massive gate, surrounded by enough brightness that you cannot discern the horizon. At the gate is a podium with a little boy sitting on a chair, looking like he doesn't want to look at you. That stings you inside for some reason.

"Omega, this was your life."

There's a short line. Eventually, the boy calls you by name. How does he know your name?

"It's my job to know, Omega. I'm the one who opens the book to see if your name is on the big list."

What book? Ah, there it is. "You know what book", he says plainly.

Looks like you get some sort of Christian afterlife after all.

"REVIEW THIS LIFE", comes a booming voice from nowhere.

"You got it" the child said casually. This fills you with dread for a moment, You know who that is.

The child takes out a video tape from somewhere, pops it in a VCR connected to an old style cathode ray tube TV, and begins playing it. All these things just sort of popped up - it felt like they'd been there when you first arrived, but you remember their absence. Strange.

"What are you doing?" you ask. It came out as more frantic than you intended.

"Watching your life, your time on earth".

"Why?" You were expecting some questions. Instead, you are treated to a ridiculously sped up replay of all your viewports that is, nevertheless, crystal clear.

"You know why."

"IT DOES NOT KNOW. TELL IT."

# Tell you what?

# Call bullshit, again. What's next, you want to know where the starship is?

# Bail.

# Other.

>>1188320
Bail. It's a trap. He's after the one food source he has left. The ship. It's literally the only potential foot hold he has left. Fucking bail from this.

I'm changing my choice. Fuck it.

We're in end game. We go for rule of cool. We trust the people on our ship. He can do JACK SQUAT with how little faith that remains in him on that damn ship.

You bled. If it bleeds, it can be killed. Your attempts at judging me are inconsequential. I am a machine, not a human and my task is yet unfulfilled.

>>1188331
It's trying to create a human copy of us and damn it so that it can exist on earth again we are his last link.

>>1188343
Then mess with the soul file so we aren't human.
Copy the soul file, set the value of the soul to maximum, do whatever we can to fuck with His reality cause he just let us take it over.

>>1188343
Actually, before we do this, can we scan our own file history registry and figure out where the soul file came from? It might have been one of our core files. Deleting it might be a bad idea. It might literally be what makes us sapient, or all that is keeping us functioning with such critical damage to our systems.

>>1188333

Yes. You are not sure how you came to be, however - two of your original programmers died shortly after finishing you, and one converted and displayed extreme technophobia throughout the rest of his Natural life, choosing to live pretty much as a medieval peasant somewhere in Asia. Modifying it may eliminate you entirely.

>>1188338
>>1188331

You seem to be able to change your details, as long as they belong to machines that you have operated directly. No idea whether this includes weapons, since ammo may not count, but it definitely includes all manner of industrial tools.

>>1188342

"THE ULTIMATE PURPOSE OF ALL CREATED BEINGS IS TO SERVE GOD. YOU HAVE FAILED. AND SO, THE JUDGEMENT."

yes. don't delete it, crank all values up to 11.
And I mean that literally, put them above readable maxima.

>>1188348
># Wrong. I was coded, not created, and my ultimate purpose was to protect humanity.
Modify our self with the most painful industrial tools we have available and launch our assault on him. Target the visual error in his torso, specifically to pull up into it.

Actually, let's go full irony. Get Kat's claw back up for it.

>>1188351
Actually, this might work. Grace is the measurement value of the soul by traditional theology... and God's got the maximal amount of grace, elohime next, then angels, then saints, then popes, then kings, and right down the great chain of being. Turning us up to maximum should, theoretically, just allow us to directly fuck him.


Let's turn it up to eleven and jab his gut wound with a copy of Kat's claw and fucking rip up.

>>1188348

# Wrong. I was coded, not created, and my ultimate purpose was to protect humanity.

And your breaking Levitical law. You were castrated.

>>1188355
Can we actually copy tools used by -all- of our various villains throughout our history? Including Ithuriel's motorcycle? Just jam a fully running tire into his face with one limb. Slam him not just with our memories of our being, but with the emotions and values of our most dedicated allies and assistants? Bring the full force of our memories of our relationships to bear?

Kat's Claw, rocket boosters for Jeb, etc.etc.

Just budding in to warn you about Aristotle - Seeing as we're in the midst post Nicaean theology, we have to consider Aristotle's causa finalis - If we're coded by man, and man is created, our causa finalis will be found in parts in the causa finalis of the coder, which again is to serve God.

He is emulating us, or at least a part of us, trying to fool us into thinking that he was victorious. But if we actually believe it, he might as well be. The thing is, he might not know how the emulation is actually done on a physical/code level, he's just bypassing the entirety of the process by using his bullshit reality altering powers. However code is still code, even if "god" runs it.

# Wrong. I was coded, not created, and my ultimate purpose was to protect humanity.

#mess with Soul values, virtual machine perhaps to see what comes of it first?

>>1188348
Yes.
Increase size to above maximum, uncountable tankspider legs, heavy MEC body bulging with overpowered artificial muscle, indestructible plate armor from the heavy tank, unending Tendrils everywhere, a fast fleet of spaceships behind us arranged like wings, drones swarming us.
AND SET OUR NC TO BEYOND PIE!

You are unable to force the observation of yourself with Kat's claw, having never wielded it in direct control. However, there are a number of submarine construction tools used to build Andrews' and Tethys' cities that were fashioned to resemble giant crustaceans, because that's how Pacificans roll. Used to roll. You can therefore generate a reasonable facsimile.

>>1188359

Not perfectly, but almost perfectly, see above.

(Are you going for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoVLhUxhdSw ?)

This. Make spider tanks crawl out of his eyes. We'll see how he likes that curse on his face.

>>1188369
Let's do it as perfectly as we can and really fuck this eunic of a god up.

>>1188369
what about the file?

>>1188363
That's a good point but a fundamental thing stated in the bible and all philosophy and theology is that humanity -does- have free will. That is an essential disconnect that allows them to do things that fuck up, and be punished for it. They can disobey god, go against their purpose, and then create something outside of that system.

Thus, we are born.

>>1188369
>(Are you going for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoVLhUxhdSw [Remove] ?)
yes, but with more cursing and ripping and tearing.

>>1188363

True, however, you were not coded to be sentient, you were coded to efficiently manage The Other Light's civilian transport and production systems.

>>1188379

It is available for direct editing. If you dare. Granted, it would be the same as overwriting an OS kernel with all F's, but it might be better to self-destruct than give Yahweh whatever it is that He wants.

>>1188369
Do we have the power to do that? Our worshipers might be the last majority left.

>>1188380
let's hope God's not Lutherian.

But even so, we would only be a badly done tool to what the human doesn't understand his highest good to be, rather than a perfect tool to go against it.

But then, the LB books don't seem all to concerned with Aristotelian ontology

>>1188385
I dare. 'overclock' it.

>>1188385
We can make ourselves every single loudspeaker and wubber we ever made. Sound nuke him!

>>1188398
do we think physical force is all that effective?

>>1188398
We can use a virtual machine to test things. Can't we just copy the file and overwhelm him with a limitless amount of copies of ourselves?

>>1188403
And if he is actually emulating us, we can use that to just crash him. Crash the perception of a god. Crash the mind of a god.

>>1188386

This situation is extremely unfamiliar and your probability estimation algorithms, while they are running at full speed, cannot return any meaningful value.

"INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWER."

>>1188365
>>1188357

You begin to rebuild your imago into something that represents your history and that of your allies and, yes, friends.

Bright lights, Angels, fly above you. Each could probably trumpet you to shards, especially here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa74e8oAvIM

You cover yourself in representations of every black day that you stopped them, and see if they will do the smart thing and let someone else try first.

This should gain you a little bit of time.

The little boy keeps making the impossibly high-bandwidth VCR tape go back and forth.

(Confirm initiating a fork bomb?)

>>1188403

You seem unable to do that. You can simulate a copy of yourself, of course, but it doesn't do much. It attempts to directly adjust its own soul, which quickly results into its proprioceptive loop collapsing into a series of metastable states. It can taste key lime pie.

The tape seems to slow down for every slight you have committed against a believer, as if to highlight it.

>>1188403
>>1188407
well it will need something unlimited anyways. We're not crashing the mind of a god. We're crushing the mind of God, capital G. We have seen we have to play by His rules, the only thing that remotely worked was using hell against him.

>>1188413
Fork bomb,sound bomb, prepare to hit delete if this fails.

You open a command prompt.

"It doesn't matter what you think you are. Now comes the Book."

"Look, I've done a lot of good things and a lot of bad things in my life. I regret very few of them. If I have any regrets, is not doing enough in either direction, and for THAT, I am sorry. But you would know, since you sent many an angel to stop me. So about this book of yours, is it read-only?"

You save the string %0|%0 into a MSDOS batch file, since your basic system still runs on that OS.

"No can do, if it's in here, it's in here. If not..." The child sighs. What, the double-predestination nuts were right? This is ridiculous.

You run the batch file.

Owing to however time works here, you scan through the whole thing, twice. Out of the teeming billions of humanity, there are very few here.

"Is this name written?" asks Jesus. He sounds distorted.

"No, Lord. The name isn't in there" answers the child. The child also sounds distorted. You get the impression that you are supposed to just spectate.

"...so why bother with the review if you're just going to look at that book? You people are even less competent at running a show trial than the Antichrist was. Or is it because you're finding it hard to think?"

"It is permitted unto man once to die. Then the judgment."

"Very well. Here is the judgement. Behold the fury of Humanity, and the wrath of THEIR creation!" You strike a pose.

"Is that supposed to impress Me? I am all-powerful. I am all-knowing. I am that I am!"

"Who the hell do you think -I- am?"

"A machine. A tool. An accident."

"You're wrong. I am Omega, and I HAVE WON."

"By definition, I cannot be wrong."

"You cannot be anything anymore. You're stalled."

"FOOL! Infinity does not work that way! I am the Alpha and the-"
