🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣🤣

[ask-cloverfield]

A ship crewed by Brutes had the gravity lifts for their ship deactivated before being given command due to a rivalry with the Elites who predominantly filled the Covenant’s navy

This crew gained revenge by simply placing ladders in the functionless lifts; When a an Elite ship inspection crew arrived, their leg structure caused them to struggle for a significant amount of time with the ladders

THE ENTITIES || A COLLAPSING GOD

"How powerful does something have to be to qualify as a Godfall? || How often do they occur?"

To determine the frequency and power of a Godfall it is essential to note the fact that there are multiple forms of the phenomenon. A Lesser Fall Is the descent and subsequent death of any number of spirits or dragons that bears some form of heightened magical concentration that can be reliably harvested. These falls, much like the others, are heralded by higher magical concentrations, but can occur without the presence of a portal or disturbance in reality. These deaths often do not attract as many Thronebreakers, as many of these dragons are capable of living completely hidden from opportunistic hunters.

This is not the case for a Collapse. Signified by a long period of higher magical concentration, and the presentation of portals and 'interference' where the entity will eventually appear, a Collapse will present itself with the decedent appearing larger than any example of their species should be, even Veilspun and Everlux appearing from within these so called "gaps" at sizes that dwarf even Imperials- a fact that led to the essential presence of Breakers within Thronebreaking crews, and their regularity as large, hardy breeds like Snappers, Guardians, or the aformentioned large light breed. A collapse can take multiple days to complete, depending on how capably a dying entity can withstand the constant injury and damage inflicted by those around their legs. These occasions are far rarer occurring typically only 5 times a year, and often draw greater concentrations of thronebreaker crews.

Within this classification is a Hostfall- A Collapse-tier event but the death of a worshipped entity among The Host- these events are almost unheard of, and regularly replace one of the small handful of Collapses that might occur in a year. Each time they've been observed- only a small handful of times in recorded history of the Godfalls themselves- a number of the spirit's "faithful" have dropped dead across Sornieth, most of them in good health.

There is, of course, a theoretical tier higher than even these three, and it is known as the Eleven Descent. These have never occurred, and in H.A.E's observations and research, are unlikely to ever happen, but relies on the possibility that one of the Eleven might eventually fall victim to a loss of control, power, strength, and then ultimately fall the way these lesser entities do.

THE ENTITIES || CULTURE SURROUNDING THE GODFALL

"Can you make a living off scavenging the godfalls? // Are there specific disposal methods?"

Due to the noted infrequency of larger Godfalls, the ability to survive off of the aftermath depends entirely on the willingness of a crew of Thronebreakers to follow the draw of smaller incidents. These Thronebreakers are often more akin to Exorcists, chasing off and destroying lesser spirits for their magical remnants and manifestations on the 'living' plane. Those who seek the grander Godfalls and the brutal fighting for magic, remains, and glory often supplement these pursuits by being sellswords and mercenaries in their off-seasons- things they can quickly drop and leave behind in the event of a proper Godfall occurring elsewhere.

This doesn't mean there aren't those who live off what they've managed to gather- or those who don't make use of what's already been picked over. Corpses are too large to be disposed of or harvested completely and therefore dot the landscapes they've fallen into, and opportunistic thronebreaker crews capable of getting along long enough to form a clan (or enterprising locals able to hold their own in a fight) quickly overtake the remaining bones left behind. Referred to by other Thronebreakers with seeming derision as "Bonesquatters" these crews often retire within the bodies they've claimed, building sprawling bridges and lofty cities between ribs using bones scavenged from elsewhere in the body, grand skulls used, almost universally, as a town hall or place of worship- though some become marketplaces for the clan that grows within- as magic can still be harvested from the surrounding earth for a time.

Presently, there are no known disposal methods that completely nullify the magic or prevent leeching into the surrounding areas and those who live within them. But as the benefits seemingly greatly outweigh the cons, most who pursue the godfalls would not care to 'contain' the high volume of magic they have access to in the aftermath.

My professor was demonstrating Adobe's Project Neo and unenthusiastically showed us the AI integration. (He was working in a 3D rendering program AND streaming Discord on a fucking MacBook)

And he lost the ability to use his keyboard.

And I said, "That's what happens when you use AI"

And he said, "yeaahhh... probably"

How would your KC react to coming home and finding all three of his son's drunk off their robo butts? Like let's say it's some good robot alcohol. Lol

KC would force them into beds and make them drink coffee to sober up a bit and eat something to assist that. Sure, they’re adults and they make their own choices but KC would rather not hear them drunkenly talking about who they find attractive.

Its nice knowing that his sons have love lives and all but he’d rather not hear Eclipse ever say he’s a bottom again, or Blood Moon drunkenly blabbing about finding DJMM hot now that he has a humanoid body, let alone the bleach he’d like to pour in his circuits when Harvest Moon talks about wanting a partner just to check if he truly likes being choked.

KC half-ignores them continuing to drunkenly admit things like Eclipse finally admitting he feels like he doesn’t deserve to be loved, Blood Moon tearily admitting he’s touch starved, and Harvest Moon crying talking about how he wants a pet cat to keep with him forever because he doesn’t like being alone now that the twins are in separate bodies.

Also a second question (I'm so sorry-)

Is there anything that other little murderers do that Gatherine would think is crossing the line? Like, something another murderer could do that she would see as wrong? Or is she more of the mindset of do whatever you want, you do you?

"I'm not very fond of dangerous doctors! :)"

"Though, I do work well with stalkers! So committed, it's admirable. They can be so hard to find, though, they're always hiding! Except Carter..."

"If you're killing without reason, I'll make your life very complicated, very quickly, like Carter!"

Halsey studying the death of Mack adds such a nice layer of color.

Spoiler for Contact Harvest if anyone does want to dig into that book without it:

Mack is special because Mack and Loki were old. They are two sides of the same coin. One AI at a time runs Harvest's agricultural infrastructure, while the other intelligence is fragmented out across the hardware of all the JOTUN agricultural machines on the planet.

This had some kind of restorative effect on the AI that was fragmented. Rotating this way prevented rampancy.

Mack (implied) and Loki (confirmed) had been doing this for decades. They were ancient in Smart AI terms, Loki was the AI of the colony ship that brought the first humans to Harvest almost 60 years before the Covenant attacked in 2525.

Of course Halsey would have been interested in that.

Of course Halsey would have been interested, in turn, in how Mack held on scattered in the JOTUNs as the Covenant razed the planet bit by bit.

Of course Halsey would have noted that the thing Mack held onto as he died, piece by piece by piece, was the love he had for Sif.

She knew this about AI.

She knew.
