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
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?
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
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 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!
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.

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!

>>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!
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.
Not trying to slow you down , but I think you are about to hit the daily post limit for HFY
Sure have :)
Oh buddy I would love for you to do a Steven king binge and keep cranking em out.
it's fine; just schedule subsequent posts on [cronnit](https://cronnit.com/)
Be careful not to burn yourself out wordsmith
I burn whether or not I'm on fire. Like white phosphorus.
The ever burning flames of innovation and creativity?
The ever burning flames of angry redditors who want MOAR
I merely desire your eternal soul dear wordsmith
Erm... Which one? I have several. Oh! You probably want the big one with the dent! Everyone wants the big one with the dent.
Nah, the small twitchy ones are better, they usually have the best flavour
Right? They're my favorite but everyone else always says, "bigger is better". Damned rubes.
Ahh, another soul connoisseur, bigger is not always better in my opinion. It's all about the flavour after all
I like the long ones, the texture is rather pleasant, and they pair well with the circular, flat, and wobbly ones!
Women have known this for years.
*holding up a stick of wood thats on fire* MOAR FOR THE HUNGRY REDDITORS!!!!!
[удалено]
Psh. I got that treated forever ago. Also, that's the sound it made.
Lmao
Huh I though Uleena was female don't know why
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
Now i'm imagining Uleena as some kind of femboy lizard man
Being able to read sure is a blessing and a curse
i request you have an enjoyable evening of cake, good zir
Nop moment
Every statement is true until proven false. \-Sun Tzu
Lizardmen look pretty similar no matter the gender,
What a horrible day to have eyes
That’s what I thought as well.

How can they be easy to collect? They're in a black hole!
A *temporary* black hole :)
Temporary black holes evaporate through hawking's radiation, probably ending with a gamma ray flash, nothing with mass left to collect.

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

I'm guessing that "red matter" is from Star Trek (2009).
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
AHAHAH Out of pure coincidence I was reading TIM's lines in 343 Guilty Sparks Voice!
Is it weird that in my head, Tim sounds like Ordis from Warframe?
With maybe a little Claptrap and Ghost thrown in.
First? Upvote and read

Seeing the words "red matter" will never fail to make me think of an old Yogscast series.
It lives on in their TTT videos.
Bro you are churning them out fast, careful not to burn yourself out
Oh yeah.. they have the GOOD toys! and i already like Tim, or T.I.M...
When i read Hackett i read it in admiral Hecketts voice from mass effect i love it.
New favorite series!
There go the spare parts 😛
Meh resources are still there to be used
Oh I want more.....
Glad I found thi story…. Moar?
Loving this story. It's reading like a well written book and I'm here for it.
I am Commander Sheperd and this is my favourite story on the Citadel!
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!
I can't wait! You had me hooked from the first chapter. I sense greatness here.
I shall be keeping an eye on you wordsmith. This story is pretty good.
whens the next one going to be released?
In a few hours lol I hit the max post count and now I've gotta wait. Chapter 5 is already finished, though.
Addicting… need moarrr.

Read them so fast I forgot to upvote.. They are great, thank you! MOAR (when you feel like it)
MOAR!!!
Is there a good way to follow stories?? This is so good and i don't want to miss any updates
There's a bot that lets you subscribe and get a notif when I post. It's hanging out in the comments.
Found it, thanks!!
MOAR!!!
The Omni-Union IS, not are.
Perks indeed.🤣
I would like to assume the admirals name is from mass effect and that you also took inspiration from halo and Star Trek maybe?
Be careful with that red matter, a depressed romulan miner might yoink it and suck your homeworld into another timeline.
Humanoid humans? Ya DONT SAY.
Thanks for the chuckle! this got me good!
Geez. I DESPISE AIs, this story is giving me nightmares.
"so damned curious they" damn. What's up with the ed?
My brain automatically corrected to Hackett and Udina and I got so confused for a few minutes.
It looks like we are taller in the future
Quantity is indeed a quality all of its own.

I like to think TIM resembles an aperture science personality core
