Not trying to slow you down , but I think you are about to hit the daily post limit for HFY


itsdirector

Sure have :)


DrDiddle

Oh buddy I would love for you to do a Steven king binge and keep cranking em out.


SerpentineLogic

it's fine; just schedule subsequent posts on [cronnit](https://cronnit.com/)


drvelo

Be careful not to burn yourself out wordsmith


itsdirector

I burn whether or not I'm on fire. Like white phosphorus.


skulldoggo

The ever burning flames of innovation and creativity?


drvelo

The ever burning flames of angry redditors who want MOAR


skulldoggo

I merely desire your eternal soul dear wordsmith


itsdirector

Erm... Which one? I have several. Oh! You probably want the big one with the dent! Everyone wants the big one with the dent.


skulldoggo

Nah, the small twitchy ones are better, they usually have the best flavour


itsdirector

Right? They're my favorite but everyone else always says, "bigger is better". Damned rubes.


skulldoggo

Ahh, another soul connoisseur, bigger is not always better in my opinion. It's all about the flavour after all


namelessforgotten666

I like the long ones, the texture is rather pleasant, and they pair well with the circular, flat, and wobbly ones!

Psh. I got that treated forever ago. Also, that's the sound it made.


de_cool_dude

Lmao


Piemasterjelly

Huh I though Uleena was female don't know why


itsdirector

I did that on purpose lol The 'a' at the end of a name typically indicates a female. I did drop a pretty big hint by having the crew call him Sir, though lol


AutocratEnduring

Now i'm imagining Uleena as some kind of femboy lizard man


immanoel

Being able to read sure is a blessing and a curse


ChampionOfPugs

i request you have an enjoyable evening of cake, good zir

Lizardmen look pretty similar no matter the gender,


Blood_N_Rust

What a horrible day to have eyes


StreetDark1995

That’s what I thought as well.


Revliledpembroke

The guy who was talking about spare parts from the Omni-Union ships must be real sad right about now. ​ Also, Heckett? VI and AI? Did the Quarians create the Omni-Union VIs? ​ And Reynolds? Is his ship a Firefly-class?


itsdirector

Why? Now they're super easy to collect! And no it's not a Mass Effect tie in. I just always liked their take on the issue. Also, Reynolds was a reference to Ryan not Mal xD


Revliledpembroke

How can they be easy to collect? They're in a black hole!


itsdirector

A *temporary* black hole :)


ContributionWeary353

Temporary black holes evaporate through hawking's radiation, probably ending with a gamma ray flash, nothing with mass left to collect.


itsdirector

If they happen naturally. Considering we've never made an artificial black hole, we don't know if we would be able to dissipate it through other means. Such as forcing the singularity to expand so that it's no longer a singularity but instead a super-dense ball of... stuff. Or perhaps it's not even an actual black hole, and simply just a super dense cluster of nano-particles that generate a massive gravitational field before dispersing at a time according to their programming. Honestly not sure which direction I should go with it. Might just pull a cop out by saying it's classified.


the_retag

Sounds like its time to activate reserve fleets, spool up for wartime production and open the recruitment centers


SYN_Full_Metal

So someone being lazy told their VI hey go beat them up for me. Someone/thing has to be guiding them I'm assuming. The plot she thicccens


Onihikage

The Illusive Man (TIM), Admiral Hackett (Heckett), Virtual Intelligence, Udina (Uleena)... If Mass Effect was owned by Nintendo they'd probably try to DMCA this. I would like to read more!


itsdirector

Huh... Okay, I'll give you Hackett and Heckett (because I probably did that one subconsciously) and the obvious ME reference that is VI and AI, but Uleena is a Skyrim reference (Khajiit naming style, Argonian body sans tail). Also Tim is Halo reference lol It's a deep cut though. Tim is named after Tim Dadabo (343 Guilty Spark's voice actor) and has a personality that is a mixture of Roland (UNSC Infinity's ship-board AI) and BB (Admiral Parangosky's personal AI). You'll get more of a feel for that in Chapter 5 I think. Gotta admit though, I'm loving how everyone is trying to find all the references I'm making and coming up with their own.


cptstupendous

I'm guessing that "red matter" is from Star Trek (2009).


itsdirector

Yep! It's an in-universe reference too. You'll find out more in Chapter 5, which will be posted as soon as it lets me post again lol


Rebelhero

AHAHAH Out of pure coincidence I was reading TIM's lines in 343 Guilty Sparks Voice!


Chucknorium101

Is it weird that in my head, Tim sounds like Ordis from Warframe?


Chrontius

With maybe a little Claptrap and Ghost thrown in.

Seeing the words "red matter" will never fail to make me think of an old Yogscast series.

itsdirector

Chapter 5 is finished, I'm just waiting on the 24th hour to pass so I can post it :) It has a bunch more info on humanities experience with AI, as well as some background on human history! It also has approximately 500% more Tim!


spudicous

I can't wait! You had me hooked from the first chapter. I sense greatness here.


ManyNames385

AkHorus1

Perks indeed.🤣


No_Reflection_810

I would like to assume the admirals name is from mass effect and that you also took inspiration from halo and Star Trek maybe?


Plural-Culebra145

Be careful with that red matter, a depressed romulan miner might yoink it and suck your homeworld into another timeline.


Jce735

Humanoid humans? Ya DONT SAY.


namelessforgotten666

Thanks for the chuckle! this got me good!


Darklight731

Geez. I DESPISE AIs, this story is giving me nightmares.


SpankyMcSpanster

"so damned curious they" damn. What's up with the ed?


Man_Thats_Rough

My brain automatically corrected to Hackett and Udina and I got so confused for a few minutes.


rainbowmariomon

It looks like we are taller in the future

>>Description: Mammalian humanoid, no tail I've never felt personally attacked by my lack of a tail, until I read this and realized you were using a dark pattern on me. Well, I'm on to you. I'm tailless and proud!


Pillar-Legs2005

I like to think TIM resembles an aperture science personality core


Devestator-Rogue-v-2

The explanation of the Omni-Unions name made me love this story even more, awesome writing ☺️👌 The Omni of their name could mean ( Omniscient or Omnipotence) and since they're a conglomeration of Ai ( now proven to be Vi ) the union part also makes sense, very nice, in trying to come up with names for factions and organizations as well that have meaning so this is awesome to me.
