(Reminder to everyone: at least one-liner your placeholders so that if you can't get them in time something happens)
Did I grab anything interesting during the loose object frenzy, like futuristic office supplies?
"I remember worlds where gods bothered to torture rather than erase. If you could deliver on idle threats, you would've done so by now. It would be easiest to just leave and let the Curse of Repetition take its toll on invocation of you and yours."
I suppose we're going to just straight up attack them now that arm theft is involved, since I assume that's negotiations breakdown. Better clear the ground...
Invert the element of the fire environmental effect, causing it to explode into water. Hope they have floodproofi~ng! ☆
I take a look of my surroundings and simply gather a headache while doing so.
"... Alright, this is too chaotic, I'll be putting this voting station on what to do with P2. Should we release the Fire elementals or not? Just call your vote, the voting machine will do the counting and we'll see how to go about this mess..."
I swiftly Adding a Voting machine for what to do with P2, giving my vote of releasing the Fire Elementals.
I then notice the environmental hazard that had gone off due to the Nuclear Railgun and promptly set up an Environmental Barrier over my entities and I before it gets anymore worse.
40/40 Archailect, summon abeyed until appropriate time (large object)
Vote for releasing the fire elementals. Oh, and contain that flood of water/fire/whatever I just inverted before it gets too nasty. How? Kitten-shaped freeze grenade!

Objection! JOE stated that his defenses on the Elemental Control Devices were protected from Attackers who Didnt notice. Arnold noticed and is on JOE's team, a non-attacker. He retroactively stole some of the devices, and steals some more this round.
Arnold, listening in closely on P2's various statements, contemplates for a moment or two. He then remembers his training, and with the flick of the wrist a scroll is in his hand and read. A portal opens, and he marches through.
He returns a moment later, followed by several other observation golems and agents of various Imperial higher-ups. A few Undead set up a quick seating area for each of the agents, plus room for an equal number of representatives to accompany P2 to the Peace Meeting. The area is entirely fireproof, of course.
P2 prolly doesnt actualyl need to sit beut whatevre
After formalities are gone over and then set aside, and these important world leaders get down to business.
As a show of faith, the Mageling Hoarde is ordered to release all fire elementals.
"Apologies. From where we come from, Elementals aren't sentient in and of themselves: They aren't individuals. They're merely exist as extentions of the wills of the planes that birthed them. A collective, or hivemind. Like ants, in a way. We were unaware of the fact that these were sentient. We'll defend our previous actions under self defense, but from here on out we'll take into account that your elementals are just as sapient as we are."
Then begin the questions.
"To begin with, what are your grievances with the tenuously unified Anti-Godmodder Alliance? And with the alleged leaders of this... void? We're mostly new here, so forgive us for our ignorance."
"You claim the Godmodder plans to create a utopia within the void. We are curious to hear your take on what a Utopia may be, and whether there is any way we could help you achieve said Utopia, if it would indeed work."
"Thirdly, how did you come to ally yourself with the Godmodder? What makes you think you can trust them? Would you be willing to ally yourselves with us instead if it would prove to be more beneficial to your cause?"
"Finally, is there not a way that we could resolve our conflict with words instead of war? If you value the lives of your people, and understand them to be equal to our people, you understand that every life lost is valuable, and we should do all we can to save as many as we can."
I warp P2 a peace offering "This is a fairly basic communicator, I would like to aid in the negotiations, but I have a mistake I am guilty of that I must correct. Press the button, and I will speak through it. Simply have it brought to those who are in charge of the elemental controller. I will try to talk them into simply releasing your men. In exchange I will try to offer, if you will willingly give such, your promise of a few days, at least, of swearing to not attack us if we do not assault you. This is simply so they will be willing to deal with it, instead of being jerks, and slave drivers, to your people. I will now leave, but know that I will aid in negotiations as soon as I can, physically aiding once I physically return, though I ask a turn or two to get them to return you your men. I am not, after all, a miracle worker... in that way at least."
A spiral of energy suddenly engulfs me, and once it is gone, I too have vanished.
Within the Trial building.
"Don't want to hear it SONG, I am aware I messed up last time I was here, I am here to make amends. It shouldn't even be as hard as you would think, I.E. it is improbable, instead of impossible. Among other descriptors I can go by, I am somewhat of a magical engineer," I say as suddenly my battle armor is replaced by green dragonscale robes, "And there are at least two mistakes which appear to be the magical equivalent of accidentally swapping two pipes, I will have to make sure, but I believe I can clean this up, along with my mess." With that, I start to dissolve into raw Magic, "Sorry, I am going to the neighboring dimension, the magical dimensional imprint of this place. All of the magic whatever gods made this place did is within that dimension. Keep the little one safe until I see if I can manage what I think I can."
Within the Magic dimension corresponding with the Trial room.
I appear within the flowing magical dimension underlying the Trials, and take a look around. I see the magic attached to the viewing window, and see the ruptures I had caused along it. I proceed to float towards it, before putting a small amount of energy into fixing the ruptures.
The window in the real world suddenly has a thin film over the cracks, stopping the wind from leaking in a bit.
"Looks like my power, even with reality warping, can't replace a god's. Good thing my plan was in no way predicated on that, as otherwise I would be out of options." I say before searching after the magic sections I am after.

You seem to have run into a singular problem, Smirk.
You haven't actually arrived back in the Trials room yet. The vulnerabilities that were created by the Nameless exploding the first time were patched up in part when you restored the Nameless, and further by whoever the Wanderer was.
While you actually know the "location" now, you're probably going to have to try harder than that to get in again, even WITH my help.
You also seem to have little to no understanding of how this realm works. While I myself don't know much, I can tell you that simply dissolving into magic will NOT allow you to see the inner workings. There's more at play here than just mere magic.
Charge 9/40
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Brass Golems' walking terrain becomes too uneven for them to walk through without trouble. It isn't long before they each trip due to uneven terrain, one by one, their armor becoming chipped and providing less defense than they should.
With the fire hopefully not affecting my entities and me, I take out a LARGE gauze of burn heal and begin to treat my Clone entities from the damage that the radiation fire caused.
(Orders!)
Lunar sworn takes my place and bodyguards the Lunar Matriarch.
Lunar Priest continues to heal the Lunar Matriarch.
The Matriarch continues her work on healing up the weakest entity.
Cloning Barrack produces another commando, engineer, and trooper this turn.
The troopers and commando don't do much this turn.
The engineer take some time to fix the small damage on the barracks.
25/40
FABBER makes more of the drones.
Aron starts trying to figure out how to produce mithril so we can magic-proof some members of our burgeoning militia. jason sees if he can improve the repair efficiancy of the drones- maybe letting them repair structural stability as well as health? james helps wherever he's needed, and steffan tries to find a way to modify all the mines from our minelayer to be useful, instead of auto-summoning fire elementals. set them to templar world, summoning a single guard/random member/ occasionally, a single brick from a wall, maybe?
I do my second action from my prior post if it hasn't been done, and otherwise heal up the facilities structural stability a fair bit.
24/40
hm... ok, I have an idea mr.fire person. what if I seperate their minds from Most of their bodies, and put them down in some lower-strength bodies? you can take them home, they can probably regenerate from the plane itself,and TOG (the guy who controls the magelings controlling their bodies) gets to keep his... bodyguards. what says you?
If fire-guy agrees, I do the thing, plucking their minds out and putting them in smaller flame bodies with defensive cores made of scraps of old guard drones, just going the extra mile to be nice....
otherwise, I shrug, then note that "If- a flash, and a vise of solid nitrogen clams shut on his shoulder-you're the kind of person - a movement of my hand, and the vise Twists, ice crystals flaking off it and the flames dimming in the cold air- who has trouble regenerating- the vise contracts, snapping off his arm- lost limbs, - and a dozen and seven more threads of glowing cyan twine rocket forwards, encircling the cut-off arm in a net, or a web- I tried to find out- threads poke out from sides of the cyan twine, filling the gaps of the net and hardly letting any light out, spinning lightly to stop precision infiltration- in advance, -and then it changes and the threads collapse in on themselves as if whatever held them up has vanished, like an empty bag- So really, This is your fault."
"no. my people deserve both their bodies and minds."
With that said, you create a vise to snap off his arm. "i see that you are willing to attack someone in the middle of a diplomatic session," he says, as he effortlessly breaks apart your device. "this is exactly what i expected from your kind."
Oh dear.
Specials:
- Each EoTB, a random enemy entity, due to impulsive "muscle" manipulation, will accidentally attack one of its allies as their EoTB action.
- Has a passive 10% chance to dodge, or rather, cause the assailant to impulsively miss.
The I Hand attacks a Brass Golem.
HP: 260,000
AC: 1
EoTB Actions:
- Attack an enemy for 15,000
Specials:
- Each EoTB, a random allied attack will hit the wrong target, but there will be a +50k boost to the damage.
- 30% chance to dodge, or rather, blink out of the enemy's attack.
The Z Hand does the same.
HP: 400,000
Attack: 80,000
Special: Element Roulette 0/2
Randomly chooses 1 out of 7 of its components and uses its effect:
"Mana": Revitalizes an ally entity, healing them by 50,000 HP and boosting their attack by 20,000 for one turn.
Strange Ball of Fire: Strikes an enemy entity for 50,000 and gives them a "Burn" status where they lose 20,000 each turn for 5 turns.
Evergrowing Seed: Creates a "Seed" entity with 10,000 HP that, when kept alive after 3 turns, becomes an "Overgrown Plant Monster" entity with 100,000 HP and 50,000 Attack.
Heartfreeze Ice: Inflicts an enemy entity with a "Heartfrozen" status which essentially freezes that entity for 2 turns.
Childish Tempest: Displaces 3 random enemy attacks, causing them to hit different targets instead and reducing each damage by 20,000.
Cosmic Storm: Spawns a "Storm Cloud" entity in between two enemy entities, reducing their hit rates by 40% and dealing 15,000 each turn. The cloud is untargetable, but only lasts for 2 turns.
Richest Soil: Buffs the Elemental Landmark's next attack to 200,000.
Element Roulette activates. If the result is offensive, the Elemental Landmark aims it at the Brass Golems. If the result is "Mana," give it to Minuono.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The sparks of electricity manipulate the Turret Controls as so that they will fire at the Brass Golems and not the Fire Elementals, unless the latter become hostile, in which case they will be fired upon.
"You couldn't have waited another turn for starting that duel, huh. Here, toss it at him if things look bleak, I'm using as much temporal energy as I can to keep it stable till you use it, and it is literally a container for a hypermassive blackhole (All charge I currently have expended). It works based on the fact he can't have infinite energy, and he has to have an equivalent energy to the object he annihilates to obliterate it as he has been. Energy=mass times the speed of light squared, and that is two heavily condensed and contained universes in a little containment unit, so he will at least be heavily depleted if you use it. You don't want anything you can't fix on the field though, as him destroying it may trigger it to go Big Bang, especially if he can't neutralize all of it. The godmodder wouldn't be dumb enough to have a warrior fight for her that she can't kill, so clearly his energy supplies are at least somewhat limited, or he has some other easy to think of weakness. As a side bonus, exploit that the full energy equation is E^2=M^2*C^4+momentum squared times C^2. Aim for light speed." That message pops into TOG's ear as my Black Hole Catcher warps straight into his hand. I am only able to do this because his duel is still not fully formed when I teleport it, but it should do something if he needs to weaken P5. Hopefully he can use what I taught him to his advantage. If not I have a back up plan once the duel is over. (My action went into teleporting the container into his hand so he can deal damage to that monster.) "Now I just want to say that I am personally all for allowing the quick and expedient return of your men... could you give me something to call you besides P2, it seems insulting to you and more formal than I like to be unless necessary. I, like Winkins, would love to hear some details of how the Godmodder actually treats those under her domain, to see if a peace accord may be drafted between us, representing those who like our current local rulers, and her. If her worlds are treated well then I do believe she is the nicest known godmodder, and so we may be willing to allow her her way if she is not cruel. it is only cruelty, and the stealing of hopes, which I cannot accept. I will attempt, once I can, to expedite the safe release of your men as a show of good will. I only have issue with people if they are cruel, and you seem personally quite kind, if slightly stressed. Please allow me a short time to see what I can do. I, after all, had no direct hand in their control device, so I will have to speak with whoever set it up, once I figure out who did, to negotiate their release. I am a relatively reasonable man, my methods for repulsing those on a warpath nonwithstanding."
Before he is about to order his troops to attack, P2 hesitates, and turns towards you. "my proper name is a series of crackling noises, followed by the roar of what seems to be a rocket booster, but you may call me the Second Praetorian. at the moment, we are teaching the citizens of our newly expanded lands knowledge which has been withheld from them, as well as providing infrastructure which has not been made available under the rule of their previous administrators. i swear on my honour that the godmodder does not wish excessive pain on anyone, and I do thank you for listening to me. hopefully, this conflict will be over soon."

P2 visibly relaxes as you release the Fire Elementals. "thank you. the fact that my people are barely sentient is a lie perpetuated by many. it is for this reason i have sided with the godmodder in her plans for a unified world where all are equal. i am of the belief that all citizens deserve the rights to live as they choose without the interference of others, such as emperors, wizards, gods, and other such imperialistic races. i aligned myself with the godmodder shortly after i submitted my resignation as the representative of the Plane of Fire, disgusted that our interests were not being carried out. the godmodder approached me to share her vision of days long past, when my people did not slave under the eyes of the citizens of Nihil Magna, the great void. she is the oldest being i have ever had the honour to meet, and was willing to speak to me as an ally, regarding me as an equal, something very few people are willing to do." He pauses for a moment before continuing. "thank you for hearing me out. when i agreed to work with the godmodder, i told her that my forces would support her in every endeavour. while i will not go against my oath, i will work further to reach a goal of mutual cooperation if you can convince the government of Nihil Magna to properly regulate the summoning and use of elemental peoples as a labour force, and punish those do fail to abide by these codes. unfortunately, i doubt they will listen to anything other than force. i do understand the value of every life, but so long as the High Council refuses our terms, we shall be at odds."
I warp P2 a peace offering "This is a fairly basic communicator, I would like to aid in the negotiations, but I have a mistake I am guilty of that I must correct. Press the button, and I will speak through it. Simply have it brought to those who are in charge of the elemental controller. I will try to talk them into simply releasing your men. In exchange I will try to offer, if you will willingly give such, your promise of a few days, at least, of swearing to not attack us if we do not assault you. This is simply so they will be willing to deal with it, instead of being jerks, and slave drivers, to your people.

Upon your releasing of the Sniper from his bodyguarding duties, he gives you a respectful bow. "Thanks, that was a very stressful situation."
In addition, the duel has begun.

Entities ordered. Having reached an agreement on the release of the controlled Fire Elementals, P2 and his forces leave through the portal created by Metal Gear REX's Nuclear Armament, but before he does that, he turns to look at you all. "again, i thank the majority of you all for being reasonable. it brings me hope that there may still yet be peace among us all. i sincerely hope that we never meet in less amicable circumstances."
And with that done, the Invasion of Science World has concluded. Your entities now prepare for another meeting with the godmodder.
The Guard Drones make repairs on the Facility, Steffan creates a way for Templars to portal in via Minelayer Mines each round, Aron researches Mithril and finds that this particular composition of Mithril is made from a blend of several Elements aside from Metal, including Air, Earth, and interestingly enough, a small percentage of Blood. Jason finds that the Drones are operating at their fullest capacity, and any other upgrades will compromise them. James just sits around. The Fabber creates another Guard Drone, Mistral calls more Dwarf Gekko from somewhere that I'd rather not find out, the Matriarch heals Minuono to full, the Priest heals her master for 10k, The Healer heals the Ranged for 12k, and the clone Barracks creates another batch of soldiers for our cause.

Remember the rules: nothing can leave the cube without instantly dying. bring nothing with you except your armor and arcane focus and use your wizardly power only!
To open, use my Duel Disk (standard focus for official duels) to conjure into being an invisible warden from another plane right in front of my opponent (who I also attempt to analyse; scanning is a free action, after all). The invisible creature immediately starts barking, and then takes a bite out of the enemy wizard.
Faithful pupper, boy-o.
Arnold sends the representatives back to their home plane/universe/dimension/timeline/slice of the big empty/whatever, but not before resupplying. Looks like he's going to be here for a while longer.
He then lights the Terror Mouse on fire.
Can't dodge DoT, boy.
The Iron God is ordered to stop hiding and make his way over to P2's party, when he returns.

the drones continue repairing the facility. steffan starts designing an amplifier for souls...whatever that means. jason uses the similarity of a certain project I have planned to coding to design the runic sequences on a certain stone. Aron plans out how to link these. james realizes oh. this means all we need is some mithril and the fabber can do the rest, probably! so he gets some mithril, somehow.
The FABBER takes the mithril from james and threads in some of its unused elemental energy controllers (IE: blood, air, earth, pretty much everything but metal, machine and vintage for raw force). metal, machine and vintage are still used for guard drone construction.
ACTION:
I steal the Godmodders marshmelows and force-feed them to all the terror animals
to fire elemental man: "...Ok, I sort of deserve that. However, I would like to note that as far as I'm aware, these things are never particularly painful or inconvenient, so from a completely alien perspective with no concept of social norms, my actions make perfect sense."

Entity Orders: Attack the Terror Dog!
~~~~~~~~~
I shoot a dozen vials of neurotoxin at the Terror Mouse. This toxin will slow the reaction time of the Terror Mouse, reducing its dodge rate.
I yell toward where I heard SONG's voice, "Okay, please inform me then in what way it would be difficult, as that will determine if I can, and therefore am willing, to try anyway. I am here to right my accidental wrong, and I will do so if at all possible, even if my death is the cost. I have made a mistake, I shall correct it. On your statement on more than magic at work, do you mean deific magic as opposed to arcanic, for if so I can work with either if necessary. I can even deal with the Eldritch magics of great old ones if required. If you instead mean a more pure form of reality warping, then I will simply have to observe it enough to understand its workings. I will do what I must, no matter the cost, to fix what has been broken, so long as it may work."
I open my channel to series of crackling noises, followed by the roar of what seems to be a rocket booster, and ask him "How do negotiations go, series of crackling noises, followed by the roar of what seems to be a rocket booster, did they relent, or need I attempt to sway them to your side. I am a bit far out, so the details I am getting of the fight are hazy to me. Also, I am sorry if I said your name in a bit of an accent, but you can only learn so much of how to speak thousands of languages in a few hours stretched to a few years. And I was reading up on enough books on the nature of magic that the instant I try to make spells I should be able to make a near perfect solution five minutes after. To put it lightly, I was busy before I got here. I hope that once I am done cleansing a small debt I incurred upon myself by mistake I will be able to aid in peace talks with much speed." With that, energy swirls around me, as I begin to put energy into storage for later use, as today seems like a day where everything will go wrong if I am not ready. 1/40
I blink at the sight at the Terror beings but shrug the feeling off. Nothing I haven't seen before.
Getting back to supporting any entities, I take a look at the REX and decided that it'll be the target of my attention. Raising my Healium Staff, a huge beam of light engulfs the REX which condenses on its form. The solid light soon congregates on the still damaged parts of the REX and starts to repair the damage done to it.
Of course, while this is magic and should probably not be as effective if you take a closer look, you can find that the light is actually clouds of nanomachines.
Eventually, the glowing soon dies off as the nanomachines use themselves to fix as much as possible.
Specials:
- Each EoTB, a random enemy entity, due to impulsive "muscle" manipulation, will accidentally attack one of its allies as their EoTB action.
- Has a passive 10% chance to dodge, or rather, cause the assailant to impulsively miss.
The I Hand claws at the Terror Chicken.
HP: 260,000
AC: 1
EoTB Actions:
- Attack an enemy for 15,000
Specials:
- Each EoTB, a random allied attack will hit the wrong target, but there will be a +50k boost to the damage.
- 30% chance to dodge, or rather, blink out of the enemy's attack.
The Z Hand rams its smaller rods into the Terror Chicken.
HP: 400,000
Attack: 80,000
Special: Element Roulette 0/2
Randomly chooses 1 out of 7 of its components and uses its effect:
"Mana": Revitalizes an ally entity, healing them by 50,000 HP and boosting their attack by 20,000 for one turn.
Strange Ball of Fire: Strikes an enemy entity for 50,000 and gives them a "Burn" status where they lose 20,000 each turn for 5 turns.
Evergrowing Seed: Creates a "Seed" entity with 10,000 HP that, when kept alive after 3 turns, becomes an "Overgrown Plant Monster" entity with 100,000 HP and 50,000 Attack.
Heartfreeze Ice: Inflicts an enemy entity with a "Heartfrozen" status which essentially freezes that entity for 2 turns.
Childish Tempest: Displaces 3 random enemy attacks, causing them to hit different targets instead and reducing each damage by 20,000.
Cosmic Storm: Spawns a "Storm Cloud" entity in between two enemy entities, reducing their hit rates by 40% and dealing 15,000 each turn. The cloud is untargetable, but only lasts for 2 turns.
Richest Soil: Buffs the Elemental Landmark's next attack to 200,000.
Element Roulette activates. If the result is offensive, the Elemental Landmark aims it at the Terror Chicken. If the result is "Mana," give it to the I Hand.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Terror Ferret feels a sharp pang of pain course through its legs/whichever limb contributing to its dodge mechanism. As it turns out, being a hideous abomination might not be good for one's body.
The moment it tries to move, the pain in its limb will only cause it to trip up, making it an easier target for attacks.
Nopenopenopenope so much nope time to blast my way out of the barn and spawn an entire moon-sized computer and if I can't escape we'll just spawn an entire mooncomputer inside the barn and use spatial compression engineering to make it a nonissue

It is time for another expenditure of maximum charge. The construct I have been deciding for a while, fed by notable levels of godmodder damage and the combined power of many elements and tales long dead before she should get her claws in them. A computronium miracle surpassing the Matrix and the Moon Cell of old, and of an unrelated basis. Beyond Singularity lies Singularity again and again. Achievement of ever greater self-improvements turned not just to power of force, but power of learning. Above such toposcopic dreams is not deus ex machina, but deus est machina. But divinity is old hat and I do not wish in hate the Repetitive, so this is something wilder still than a mere saturation attack of the Unexplored-class overpantheia reigning above.
The mind of an AI above AI above AI and above that again-again begins to stir, automated systems popping up with every actualization that dances free of my piece-mind.
I would have had more grace but nope, the Barnyard demands expenditure.
A new moon rises in the sky. And that moon is the reality-affecting computer archailect I christen here and now Arcologus, for it is time to begin.
Requested specials:
-Construction facilities with REPLICATORS because sometimes I just want to make items ok
-Lots of computers with a ridiculously complex smart-AI that self-manages so we can put them on the science team for more research I guess
-Wormhole brains to make the computers faster than mundanely possible for MAXIMUM PROCESSING POWER
-Data generation: capable of spawning terrain via reality-marble to standard-reality gen-imposition
-Humanoid Interface construction: we're gonna make magic anime people up in this business
-I guess it has point defense lasers if it needs to attack or intercept things but that's not the real focus here.
-For convenience, rope all these it-does-special-stuff mechanics under one 'Data Jurisdiction' meter shared between Arcologus and all the Humanoid Interfaces, call it DJ or DC for short or whatever. It's basically just charge in the style of the work point system but representing a different sort of R&D and reality-coding shenanigans generated by Arcologus and the Interfaces.
-In the event of Arcologus dying or otherwise long-term incapacitation functionally equivalent to destruction, Data Jurisdiction is handed over to any surviving Interface(s). In the event of any Interface defecting or facing insurmountable communications separation, it gains its own Data Jurisdiction meter instead, shared among its faction/communicable-group. This works because anime people secretly possess massive processing power for the purposes of spellcasting, even before these ones are secretly humanlike aliens cyborg'd with reality.
