More Futurisitic Fun Than You Really Wanted, part I of V

[P3nT4gR4m]

Every mass is different. Sometimes Payne will just sit there, for hours on end, just stare at us all, never say a word. Other times he climbs up on the pulpit, stamps his foot on the book and screams at us. Sometimes it's not even words he's saying, he's just screaming, like he's talking in tongues. We all listen. Cos, even when you can't make out the words, you know he's still telling the truth up there.

You gave the armor a look without falling into the "look" of any other common sci-fi armors.  Great stuff.
Nice and menacing on Pixie/payne/nessies too.

[P3nT4gR4m]

Thanks, man! I'm still trying to get the armour right but the more I sketch the more it's coming together.

Kick-ass, Jenne!

Listen, dregs!  Listen, lost!  Listen, wanderers, and heroes!  Listen repressed warriors, listen brave philosophers, listen questioners and brawlers!  Listen!

We are humankind.  Your Gods, whichever wrong path you follow, saw fit to throw to us ill conceived tests.  Tens of thousands of years of triumphs.  We fought beast and we mastered them.  We survived the breath of titans and the rumbling of deeply sleeping ancients.  We grasped the infinity of the sky; we've played with it.  We even fight one another, with sword and gun, with rhetoric and invention.  And still we triumph.

But there is something else.

There is a thing above mankind.  Finally, for all the suffering incurred by our own greatness we are rewarded.  We are given this because there is nothing else!

It is stronger than us.  We are a frail specimen and even as such adapted to overcome.  It can crush us even as we augment ourselves with steel flesh, for what is the servo but an extention of ourselves.

It is more relentless than us.  With a singularity of purpose it hunts.  It thinks as one and alone, together, a synchronicity and a capacity for individual thought both.

It is smarter than us.  Because it watches us, learning our brutality and ingenuity.  It improves while we grow stagnant.

This is a gift, humanity!  It is not a test like our many forgotten undertakings.  It is a gift because it is the End.

And we can kill it.

Payne, it just occured to me - Templar Samson, Operator Sams.  Was that intentional?  Because the idea of the naive Operator's brother being a ridiculous badass is pretty awesome.

Not his brother, just someone taken by his myth.

I'm all dried up for now, but this was the most fun I've ever had online.

It's my humble opinion that, regardless of when Roger decides what bits to play with and possibly publish, there's no reason at all to stop at that point.  This has been amazing, and every last one of you who's pitched in has given me a happy.

This.  If you're all out, come back later.  Pent is having a field day with this, and I'll be sending him the first panelized stuff this week.

The more the merrier.

I think I have a few more conversations in me.  I think the trouble I'm having now is, the world is built, which is what we've been doing thus far.  The rest would be moving forward with it, having some kind of narrative?

Because I have ideas as to where I could go with my part, but I don't want to bring it anywhere it's going to fuck up anyone's work.

Just write.  I'll put them into panels in the order that makes sense, which will not be chronological as posted.

That answers something I was wondering about too. Cool.
