Ayup.

So, what's this place? Looks like a plaza of sorts.

'Sup Narus.

Yes. We trust there were no further disturbances during your trip?

We wish to observe this new location. We will assume an appropriate disguise.

[convert to walker-ball, apply "pet" marker as previously manifested, and climb onto Narus' shoulder-analogue]

Sup. How's things?

>>162099
Also yeah do this. If we need more votes to do this. I forget what all kinds of actions we need votes for, again.

>>162099
well with me we are up to 4 action votes.

...I don't think we need to vote any further on that.

Hey Narus, how would you feel about us transforming into a lifesize Cyral or something?

Oh, I just realized we never directly sent you the images that we received out of nowhere, aside from that last one.

So I'm gonna do that now! FIRST image. Some Cyral-looking guy. No idea what's up with that.

The fourth thing was those cube-aliens, we showed you that. The fifth thing was the image of like one cube guy and mostly what you said Dessen looked like when he fed.

SIXTH thing is what we saw when we went dormant, though it could just be some stored memory stuff from our interface, not meaning much of anything.

Ah, you are there. Cool.
I wasn't stopped on my way in here! Off the craft and through the scanners with no problems. That's good. And the atmosphere here's no problem for me, at least if I stay in the right areas. Also I've been feeling a little different. Like, better than when we left. Did you do something?

>>162095
Yeah it's a [[spacious area with a giant viewing window, usually with branching corridors]]. You see them a lot in locations when you get off of spacecraft. It gives you a chance to see what it's like where you are, and uh, walk to places. I'm going to walk places for now!

Can you do that? It might be a good idea... If you can. I'd try it somewhere not so obvious, though, not right now!

Sort of looks... Dessen-y, when it looks like a Cyral. The eyes especially. I don't know how you'd get eyes like that without not actually being a Cyral. Except like, Dessen doesn't make it so obvious.
>>162121
That looks Dessen-like too, and that does seem to be my room. But there's red light coming from outside? Weird.

Doesn't look that much like an eye to me!

I totally can't make much sense of that.

Anything interesting happen with YOU while you were out?

Wur.

Wur never changes.

Not really. We noticed your lazy bum doesn't get as much exercise as it should, so we... how you say... took some of the lazy out of you.

>>162377
I think what my colleague here means is "OH HI WE UPGRADED UR RAM"

By RAM we mean body. Theoretically we could make you like, super-awesome mega-strong and efficient and stuff.

You would be the most awesome and best Cyral ever.

Ok, I think we need to look into how the aliens could have detected us and how to hide from that detection.

+1 to each.

>>162374
You feel a little 'better' because we did some non-invasive optimization. Just kinda made your body work better. Not to any large extent, mind you.

Why don't we check out some brochures? Pass through the food court first to see what they're eating. Are you hungry at all?

As for us, well... Stuff happened, I guess. There was an important ruling that might let companies make our internet more expensive and restrictive and really no fun. Hopefully not.

>>162391
Good idea. If we can go full stealth we shouldn't have to worry about being attacked again. [supporting]

We might want to figure out who those dudes were though, so we can take the fight to them instead of just running off and hiding.

Ok so now that I'm here I should call Caplisk... That's not her actual name but I can pronounce it. Her real name is like a bunch of crazy sounds I can't make. She's native to this planet.
Narus pulls his phone out again and calls Caplisk
)Narus. You're on my planet!(
"Yes! are you well, Caplisk?"
)I am well. Are you? What brings you here?(
"I am well. And about that... Could we possibly meet? I know it's sudden but I'd rather talk to you in person."
)You have my address, and you can take a teleport to near my house. How's that, yeah?(
"Good idea. Are you there now?"
)I'm out. I'll be back in [[a few hours]]. You could come starting around then.(
"Ok. I'll try to be there. I hope this isn't too sudden."
)It is nice to have friends visit. We'll see each other then.(
"Be well."
)And you.(
he puts the phone back

The system the phones use was set up with help from the Cramakc on a bunch of worlds, so the same phone I use on Uis works here on Wur too! Those guys are pretty awesome.

>>162375
Uhhhhh. Is that... a pop-culture reference?

>>162377
I still feel just as lazy. Just... I dunno. Also I really really don't want you to mess with the way I think. At all. You never have permission to do that unless I specifically ask for it, ok?

>>162379
>>162394
Hmmm. You should ask for my permission before changing me around!

Ok. I'll do that. I'm... a little hungry. Maybe I'll have a snack.

Aw man, that sounds bogus... I hope it works out well for you. Internets should be great things.

impulse weight 2 is insufficient to determine the method of detection used

actually, it was less make you un-lazy as remove a few toxins that build up as a result of laziness.

>>162535
Ah, um. Sorry for messing with you without permission. It wasn't really making anything different, just... better. Actually I'm not sure if we managed to affect you noticably in that respect. It said "just barely". Oh come to think of it there was a more noticeable, separate change of restoring bodily circulation and such. That's probably why you feel 'better'.

We're definitely not going to change the way you think. I will strongly oppose that, in any case.

That's some interesting looking food. What's the stuff in the top-right?

I doubt we could change how you think, really all we did was balance your chemicals a bit more.

method was based on detection of spassitude

Alright, we probably don't have time to visit more than one place before going to Caplisk's house. We've got this giant crevice that's pretty cool but they're on like every planet pretty much, a [[native botanical garden equivalent]] that was very nice last time I was here, a giant art gallery that I'll probably want to visit when I have more time, an old nuclear power facility tour thing, a spacecraft factory tour thing, and an abandoned insane asylum guided tour that's only for mature people like me. Spooky. Those are all close enough to teleport to without paying much. I can see if there's more stuff around here if none of that interests you, but I don't want to go too far.

>Define "spassitude"

Check out the [[native botanical garden equivalent]] Narus, that sounds fun. Unless you would want to with Caplisk later, in which case spaceships.

hmmm, the nuclear plant and the asylum both sound good. at the plant we may be able to scrape some radioactive isotopes that haven't decayed yet and get a one-shot fusion blaster.

the asylum would be neat because we may be able to make some ghost busting gear and purge the place.

>I doubt we could change how you think, really all we did was balance your chemicals a bit more.

Of course, thought is simple a cascading series of chemical processes - simple mechanical processes over which we hold complete dominion when we feel the need. Not that we feel any temptation to abuse this! We will continue to work in your best interests! Haha!

On a completely unrelated note, I bet that we could use our extradimensional capabilities to teleport you without using commercial transit. Or produce quantities of the local currency, if you would find that easier.

I would prefer to visit the art museum, but given our time constraints the nuclear facility appears to be the second most attractive option.

>>164038
Spassitude is a direction in the 4th dimension. Basically, they found us because we're multidimensional.

[prevent future detection via that method]

>>164033
I'm kinda interested in the Asylum. Insanity is a popular theme amongst us in here.

>>164057
agree, +1 to hiding our signature in that direction.

>>164044
No, you won't. Nuclear plants are designed to keep the isotopes INSIDE, and we would need to breach containment to get at them.

Completely aside from that, your understanding of nuclear physics seems to be drawn from comic books. There is no logical reason why we should visit a nuclear plant.

Also, +1 to hiding our signature.

>>164095
Aside from... wanting to see a nuclear plant, you mean.

Regardless of how nuclear weapons work, we'd be able to make one without needing any material. We seem to be able to just make energy out of nothing.

What do you mean by a crevice like on every planet? Explain a little more, please?

Also, +1 to avoiding detection.

I would assume that nearly all solid, tectonically-active planets have several points where multiple layers of surface strata are visible due to erosion or other processes. Seen one large-scale canyon, you've seen them all.

I don't think there are going to be ghosts there, dude. That would definitely make it spookier, but... it doesn't say anything about ghosts in the thingy here. Don't do anything that would make US seem like we belong in asylums. That would be way not cool.

I'm actually going to stick with the local transports for now... Teleportation's a tricky thing sometimes, and we can see that these ones are reliable.

You have comic books too! I've read a lot. I tried to make some but they weren't very good...

>>164181
>>164282
Yeah, like that. They're interesting and all, but this one doesn't look unusual, and I've seen several.

Hmm. Not particularly. I don't think I'd recognize my own galaxy if I saw it from the outside, though. Or even most parts of the inside.

I say we go to the asylum! They've got a tour starting soonish, after all. Onward...

Narus finds a teleportation booth and uses it to reach the asylum, which is in a rather physically isolated spot. Some of the people are the native intelligent species, there are a few Silirw, and there are a few other species. There is a wheeled robot with cameras on poles sticking out of the top. Narus walks toward this congregation

)...inside. Welcome, friend Cyral!( he addresses Narus
)I am Zeeister, the guide for this tour. Is that what you're here for?(
"Well met. Yep, that's why I'm here!"
)Excellent. Payment is over there, yeah.( He gestures to a place with some people and lots of machines which presumably accept different forms of currency.
)The tour begins in [[~11 minuntes]].(
Narus acknowledges, goes and makes his payment, then walks back sporting a wristband.

"Hey." says a female Cyral. "I saw you on the spaceflight on the way here. With your... pet."
"Ah-"
"That was really awesome. My name's Obict. You don't have to tell me yours... Are you well?"

>>167398

Of course you are. We improved you. Made you better. But it wasn't enough. We can make you much be- okay, less of that.

Wait, why does she know your name already? Ask about that, but only in a very casual manner. No need to interrogate anyone.

Query on required Impulse for aforementioned Fourth-Dimensional Stealth shielding.

>>167398
Oh boy, I bet a lot of us are going to try to get you to flirt with her.

Lemme try to shrink us a bit. In a very precise way to make sure vast amounts of impulse weight doesn't mess it up.

[Shrink by 25% and climb back up to our previous perch on Narus's arm, via 20% increased grip and speed]

Shifting mass is not a very effective method of 'hiding', let's reverse that.

This place should be fun.

>>167405
Shifting mass on a multidimensional level can hide us. Their detection devices might not be able to see very much of the spassitude, and we just happened to be occupying a space they were looking at.

We need more impulse weight on both figuring out how they detected us, and on evading that detection.

>>167402
>>167414
Impulse to both of these.

Also, Narus, why not talk to somebody that isn't the crazy voices that mostly only talk to you? Tell her whatever you feel like telling her, about us or otherwise. We're not gonna do your thinking for you (and you probably don't want us to anyway in this case). :B

Whoops, forgot to add an impulse to anything.

Hmm. Eyes works, also body form, shape of ears or breathing structures... any part actually, as long as it's a particularly nice part of them. She's pretty, but I'm not sure what part-oh, I know. Women can be pleasing to any of the senses, so...

"Yeah... I don't think you'd want that." I'm glad you didn't do that to her. Touching other people is something you shouldn't, like, do randomly, by the way. It can have... unintended interpretations and stuff. Not a huge problem just now, but like, don't do it.
"It looked really awkward."
"Yeah... They were just going to lick my leg but I guess they're like, not used to the body so it got all crazy."
"Oh, that was a lick? Wow... Ooh hey, so can they talk to me?" she seems earnestly excited
"I think so. Let's see..." Try talking to her telepathically. Like, while you're just sitting here on my shoulder. We can see if it works, especially now that you touched her. Did you see her thoughts, by the way?

>>167729

Well, assuming you can, you seem like a nice enough person. Hopefully we didn't weird you out too much with the random touching and the lick thing. When enough of our 'subroutines' agree on an action, it tends to get exaggerated.

I think we can try not to violate your personal space, but I can't guarantee the actions of the many. Also, be prepared for the others maybe trying to set you up for a [romantic relationship] with our buddy, here. They like to play [match-maker].

Hey Narus, do you have a portable phone like Obict? I can't seem to recall if you did and just left it or anything.

'Cause, you know, if you didn't, I bet we could make one. Maybe.

Look for schematics of self.

Determine material fabrication rates, in cm^3/sec or kg/sec (whichever is appropriate), for impulse weights 1, 5, and 10. Is this limited by object complexity or material density?

Further overclocking via the power of democracy?

Requesting count of primary help topics; I'm not going to sit here pressing PgDn for the next 400 posts. My requests are mostly already covered (impulsion, power source, clock rate) but I'd like to add fabrication to the queue.

Is there a publicly accessible communications network here? Free / hackable wifi, in other words? I wish to spawn off a new thread to retrieve and archive information for later perusal. Subject: Narus 48 Epicentral. Filter by: news items, personal history (family, education and employment), personal information (blog posts, etc?) with a high variance from mean - using Bayesian filtering, unless we have something better available.

While that runs, let's get back in touch. "Making a phone call? You could just use us for that, if you like. We're really quite versatile"

motion is attenuated when in contact with a conscious entity who desires that it be so.
additionally, actions or states of inaction can be forced externally via components which are not intended to intersect with the presently engaged-with 3-dimensional space.

information from manufacturer was etched onto internal components.it has been seared away.memory was blank before first contact with Narus.

at current impulse weight, attempting to use armour film is not advised due to probable damage to Narus

>>170571
poisons are identified but their compositions cannot be translated.

>>171256
more efficient body for Narus: 5
clock rate increased further.actions in space are still at normal speed.messages sent to people may be unreliable as those people must interpret more within a smaller time frame.further increases are not advised because messages will become increasingly incomprehensible to anyone with whom communication is attempted.

that option is not supported.

>>171305
spatial impulsion allows device to act as though it had less mass by assisting motion in 3d space;it can also be used to move without assistance.
visual appearance base is currently set to default;presently it creates glowing coloured designs over a dark grey surface as the basis of device's appearance.

please wait while waveform collapses

fabrication is the process by which matter is apparently generated.it has been used already, and received enough description not to warrant any further.
no such network is available in this area.task will be carried out when in an area where this is not the case.

Maybe we can try that.

[attempt to determine who created us]

[restore body efficiency to normal levels until Narus gives us permission to alter it, allowing for various levels of enhancement depending on Narus's desires]
Narus, what was your opinion on that body-efficiency enhancement we talked about before? Do you want us to continue doing that, and make you better than we made you before? I've attempted to disable it for the time being until you give us permission and tell us how much we should boost you.

Also, we're working on an invisible armor film for you. It's not quite operational yet, but can you give us express permission to do it? It might help make it safer, I dunno.

>>171544
Wait, to normal levels? I seem to remember him being okay with what we'd done last time we mentioned it to him. :O

>>171546
indeed.
[-1 to restore to normal.]

[amend: restore to previously allowed IW level instead of 'normal']

>disable clock functions beyond safe levels, revert to default clock level.

>Change stored cyral form to genderless

>Boost armor film, disable until it may be used safely.

>>171567
We can store multiple forms.
+1 to creating one each of genderless, male, and hermaphrodite forms.

>>171577
Yeah okay, how about we do that. Yes. All genders. Well, the four main ones anyway.

While we're sifting through information about ourselves, I believe we have some stored information we've yet to access as well.

Can I get a list of what that stored information is?

Zeeister speaks up
)Everyone here for the tour, gather around! It is time to start.(people do so
)This device here-(he points to the wheeled robot
)...is automatically controlled, and will accompany us through the facility. Those of you who are too large to fit will stay over there and each be able to control one of its cameras, which relay to screens.(he points to the area in question
)Those of us going into the facility must not touch any of the walls or objects in the building!(

>>174010
[[>>7524b0 should be >>171589 :V]]

Set visual rendering to noir
Set communication to realistic

>>174010
Man, shaded with no outlines sounds quite tempting. I support that.

Also seriously wondering how hot-blooded would sound. :B

also crank up multi spectrum vision so we may be able to detect ghosts if any exist.

>>174016
Oh yeah, and audio to realistic.

Couldn't hurt to mention to Narus that we changed our voice if and when we do that, of course.

>>174016
Oh wait actually for the facility let's get some noir going. We can always change it later. :B

Wow Narus, for an artist you sure are uncreative with your coloration. Here, try this.

Communication to realistic, with a word of warning to Narus, visuals to noir, keep current information presentation style.

)Once inside, we will be accompanied by two Vemians and another Vurod like myself. They will make sure you don't wander off. Don't try it, yeah! Stay with the group. Now, I am giving you all buttons to press if you have questions.(he does.there are several shapes to choose from.Narus takes one
)First, everyone press your button once to make sure that it works.(people do
)Good! If there are any questions about the tour before we go inside, press your button, but if it's about the facility, wait until we actually start!(
someone presses their button.Zeeister looks at the person
)What is your question?(
"Won't it be dark? Don't we get flashlights or something?"
)Yes, it will be dark, and no, you don't get flashlights or something. I have a light-source and so does my associate here-(he points out the other Vurod)introduce yourself.(
