I create a propaganda machine! Whenever a non-AG entity could make a morale roll, it prints out a propaganda pamphlet offering them a position on the AG team, showing positive statistics (the survival rate of my sentient, converted allies), showing them the incredible opportunities that await them (bodyguarding, sniping, healing, gambling, etc) and allowing them to maybe become named characters with genuine personalities and stuff.
It will likely only work on sentient entities, but whatever. Better than nothing.
Entities Ordered, Propaganda Machine is an activate.

"Haha, Funny story."
"Yanno that thing where my text turned cyan every-so-often and I didn't notice?"
"Cuts both ways."
"At least, it does a little."
"Ok, I'll stop trying to sound cool. Or like I actually know what's going on."
"What I know is:
This is the past
[I]was here
I had no clue what a descended was
I was doing pretty dandy for myself
used more elemental magic
talked in cyan
Somehow got the thousandth post"
"And then I, The one you know, seized the means of production the moment to do something. I figured Pebbletopia deserved another chance."
"So that's what I gave it- Uh, I dunno what time you got pulled from for sure, but if I had to guess, The Ravine was maybe a third full, right?"
"I could tell, somehow, that Pebbletopia wouldn't be able to keep going then. Some pseudo-paradoxical-possibly-fake-debatable-non-actions later and here we are."
"I didn't exactly intend to pull you with me, actually, but I guess it makes sense. Pebbletopia needs to have its players, after all... wonder why mirror didn't come, then."
"In any case, Come, have a seat. It'll still be some time before the game ends."
"Ah, Since mirror's not here."
"Let's pick someone to take their place from the audience. How abouuuut...."
"Astrec, Come on up! It's your lucky day, because now it's time for round of..."
" PeeeeebbleTOPIAAAAA!!!"
(after a few minutes of explanation, Astrec- or perhaps the conceptual self that is FF- makes a move. I wave my hands, and the glowing pebbles move around accordingly.)
PEBBLETOPIA DOP COMPLETE!
"Hey DCCCV, you know what's Hi-larious? The me of this time's AG! I think it has something to do with them not even knowing PG is possible. Well, I wouldn't want to mess up all my own hard work... heh."
"Also, we're pretty sure only Astrec over there can do anything about the hole."
"Anyway, Orders?"
For actual actions:
I warn the Godmodder that even I don't know what will happen if I die while I'm doing this, but it probably won't be good.
Unless it's nothing.
Then, I walk over to Zeyron and use my bonus action plus standard action to alchemize:
discount mens potentiatem
discount disparem
(neither of which have been individually alchemized before so there)
And give them to Zeyron, before healing him slightly.
Entity Orders:
on the off chance I can influence AMALGAMATION, don't use blood yet. Maybe we can get something from the newcomer, but I don't want to strain our "friendship". Ok, looking back this version of [Me] didn't really talk to DCCCV that much. We uh. knew one another i guess. but thats about it.
Zeyron, try to remain uninjured.
Clone, guard Zeyron.
Facility, new project head.
"...Let me get this straight. You brought me from the future, to the past, so that I can resume playing Pebbletopia, technically before it's even happened?"
Wait, you're from the future?
"Apparently so. JOE, say nothing of what will happen. While everything now makes about 23% more sense, I am still going to punch you as hard as I possibly can when I get back. Let's play this game."

I cast disintegrate one a spaceship, removing a solid cubic chunk from the hull. No damage dealt, but structural integrity weakened.
Your attack reduces the AC of one Attack Ship by 2.
36/50
~~~~~~
I glance at one of the intact Attack Ships, then lunge at it. Its point defense systems are helpless as I dodge their shots and carve a path through them (using the power armor's blades). Then I reach my target: a small thermal exhaust port.
Yes, I get that it shouldn't have a weakness like that, and no ordinary sniper would be able to make that shot. Fortunately, I have a sniper rifle that shoots ice shards. I aim with Marzanna's sights, and fire.
The ice shard travels down into the shaft of the exhaust port. It ricochets once, twice, three times, and reaches the power core of the ship. And if there's one thing we've established, it's that ice wreaks havoc with power cores.
You reduce Attack Ship P to a Frozen Wreck!

Crafty that sword.
Astrec proceeds to unmerge the Godarm from the rest of the alchemies. He then sends all of the alchemies except Death's Ankh, Clear Thought, Swissarmyknifemodder, the Nanogauntlet, and that new sword into the ALCHEMY POOL, a spot where people can ask/take a alchemy, because I have too many.
How this works: Just take a alchemy, because I don't have time to personally hand them all out. However, the Praetorians can probably loophole enough to steal them if they can, so all the alchemies will have to be gotten fast.
Astrec turns the Swissarmyknifemodder into a broadsword, grabs his new starry sword in the hand equipped with the Nanogauntlet, then grabs the Swissarmyknifemodder sword with the Godarm, and uses all four alchemies to AGRESS.
SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH
Then, he whips out the rod, and swipes it upward, a line of oblivion tearing through the ships and shield, creating a fine line of concentrated annihilation.
Astrec nods, joining Pebbletopia.
He makes his moves.
You forcibly unmerge your Alchemies, and place them into an Alchemy Pool. Then, using the Rod, you destroy four attack ships, and deal 100k damage to the Universal Shield.

I look at the Grand Priest, "Sorry, back in a second. Someone seems to be in immediate danger. I intend to be back as soon as I have a chance, which I hope is a short time from now."
With that, I blur the lines of space time to stand in the battlefield. I pull from the alchemiter my best new weapon: The Unbreakable Katana. I then rush directly at one of the 3A creatures. I then proceed to test the katana's edge on the slightly injured one. I proceed to blur around the creature, taking tiny hit and run strikes. (I said the armor would slow me. Insanely fast slowed down is still pretty fast. And previous statements put me at post lightspeed.) I get a good idea of the creature's defenses, and then I channel that energy from our new friend back to electricity, along with a bit of my own, before running it through the katana. I then proceed to attempt a strike at the beasts torso.(-3cp)
9/50
Structurally Sound Red Matter Sword || Lightsaber
The 3A creature is fast. Supernaturally fast, in fact, as half of your strikes whiff through the air as it effortlessly teleports away, only to reappear in a different position. However, on your final strike, you correctly predict where it would appear next, and stab at a region of space, just as the creature teleports chestfirst into your blade, taking 92k damage. Well done.
Structurally Sound Red Matter Sword || Lightsaber = Hypersaber. This is getting repetitive.
10/50 I know exactly what I am doing.
You were a fool to give him the idea he shouldn't do something.
Violation registered. I was going save the things I cannot say here for the Godmodder. For you, I have something special.
The Nedben transitions out of being a standard existence to saturate P5 with hardwriting cringey fanfiction into their equivalent of processing substrate and assaults their sensory inputs with arbitrary violation I cannot express here for legal reasons.
You are invincible. That means I can deliver an infinite hell into you slowly and perfectly, and you will not break. You will experience the most horrid tortures the nastiest of transformative fiction and the wildest of fae have woven, in perfect and unerring detail, unable to go mad or blind. I will make you experience every inch of it saturated with my incessant ridiculous commentary, delusions touching you the whole time.
And I will make you able to experience every exquisite drop of this hell, an instant stretched into eternity. You will experience and be assaulted by entire new senses you do not understand, a profound discomfort previously shielded from you by dint of composition. No amount of erasure or denial will remove this event, and I hope it will take ages to scrub from your mind. This isn't my laynocurses master, no. I'll kiss you silly with every stupid suffering the Ur-Mom rants in infinite repetition and every depravity known and unknown to instinct's course.
I will beat emotion and pain into you without a framework to handle the worst of metahumanity and beyond. Drink deeply, because I will force it down your metaphorical throat.
Altrin then takes control, rematerializes, and vomits mundanely on P5 out of experiencing everything that just happened. God what the VEHK was that I don't even 'gross' doesn't even begin to DESCRIBE what the SUOK was that damnable execrable infinite-
Altrin will keep ranting for a while. P5 can now feel EXTREMELY.
You give P5 an apparent sensory overload, to which he responds by standing there in silence, staring off into space.
Is he reacting? I don't think he is. I guess we'll have to find out later.

Healing self with Shadowscythe
I also perform a small alchemy;Shadowscythe||Drop of Harmony&&Jar of the Space Aspect
You are healed for 9 Hp!
Shadowscythe || Drop of Harmony && Jar of the Space Aspect = Music of Creation. A conductor's baton, pure black, save for a series of white circuitlike lines across it's surface. As you wave it, an invisible orchestra will play. Depending on how well you play, the more effective it will be.

"You know what I just realized? You show up here, in the middle of another war in the distant past, there's chaos everywhere..."
"And you immediately assume it's my fault."
"It was but like"
"how could you tell?"
"Also, do you think you're morally good? I know how to make a cool sword for good people only."
Now then, standard action. I float in Zeyrons vicinity and set him on fire.
with a flash, he burns up, and appears elsewhere, somewhat further away from all the chaos. on the other side of the universe we're fighting over, specifically. That should keep him safe until I decide whether or not I want to kill him.
"Heyo, you there. Iron prince, was it?"
"I'm me from the future."
"If you prioritize the Future over the Past, logic dictates you help me."
"Or the guy with teal text I guess"
"Therefore, if I alchemize a stock nanoplate, you should let me keep it, or better yet, give me one free."
"Also, While I agree the argument from incompetence is a bad one..."
"The first and last defence is the truth. And it is true of all these guys."
Bonus: If IP agrees with my logic i make a stock nanoplate, otherwise I make a ghost image of the stock nanoplate, hold it in front of the newly-remade discount disparem, captchacammera the inverted ghost image, and look at it, but not actually make it.
"Two reasons: One: You're the only person I recognized. Two: You're JOE. With that out of the way, am I a good person? That depends on who you ask. If it were my mom, she'd say I'm the third sweetest person she's ever met. If it were General Vespa, he'd tell you something about me being the physical incarnation of his ruin."
Zeyron is teleported away.
"I don't believe that you can possibly be from the future. Nice try."
"JOE, not a word of this."
Since he's said nothing about whether you can make a Stock Nanoplate, you make a Stock Nanoplate!
11/50 Kill Kill Kill
Disgustingly amateur handling with that mind control, P5. Pay attention to what I have just written into your head. Telekinesis is old hat, as is classic direct mind control. Sometimes you just need to affect the body directly. Rare is a helmet that covers the limbs. :̻͖ͫ͠^̶̼̟ͅ)͎̙͕͙̐ͤ
While P5 is either reeling or distracted with extensions of ourself being annoying, we directly fabricate the relevant internal signals to make them drop player invincibility somehow and suicide by self-counterspell antimagic field. If they can't drop protection directly, make them pick up/spawn an artifact or something and hinge onto whatever makes us have to drop invincibility while artifacting. They'll be fine in a round, Descendant stuff most likely, I just want them out of the way for a moment if they're going to earn retaliatory distastes every other action.
You attempt to invade the mind of P5, only to find that it is an empty shell. There's nothing inside.

Sniping is all well and good, but for some targets there's no dakka like more dakka.
Metaphorical dakka, that is. It'll actually be ice.
Standard Minigun && Ice Power Core && Karp-tech Aimtracker AI Core
Standard Minigun && Ice Power Core && Karp-tech Aimtracker AI Core = The Blizzard Blaster. Sometimes, quantity has a quality of it's own.

I proceed to float a bit farther from the creatures going on a rampage, and proceed to put as much charge as will give the most healing into healing myself.
Black Hole Bomb || Katana
You invest all of your charge, healing yourself to full!
Black Hole Bomb || Katana = Neutron Edge. A sword forged of the finest Collapsed Star Material. Incredibly Heavy.
6/50 THUNDERSTRUCK
Meh... Now that I have a ship, I guess I don't need another.
LJG recognizes the fact he just got some stuff. He looks over at where the strange bolt of energy came from.
Aw man, I was hoping that hole would just go away if I ignored it long enough. Well, now its attacking new guy, so I guess I'd better help. Maybe.
LJG plunges into his guitar case and pulls out another random, yet useful, item. This time, he seems to have grabbed a maraca. However, this maraca has a loop of string on it, just to make sure it does't fall down while you're playing. LJG shakes it around, making that authentic rattle sound. As he shakes, he accidentally drops it. The maraca flips around his wrist, and then, the unthinkable happens. The string snaps. The maraca lands seemingly harmlessly on the ground. LJG panics. He picks it up and chucks it at the beings classified as 3A.
Maraca in the hole!
Just as the maraca is about to pass by the 3A's, it explodes, pelleting them with the small beads that were inside.
Well, it's a good thing I've got a spare... somewhere.
Entity Stuff:
The Pipe Orcan shoots attack ships M-O.
Attack Ship floats around because no one's controlling it. Whoops.
Your Attack deals 10k damage to three of the 3A creatures, the last of which dodges.

Taking a position of Prayer, I pray upon the Moon's Light to glimmer in the void and sooth the wounds of Astrec.
You sooth Astrec's Wounds, to see where he will be injured in the future! It seems.... his entire body is about to get destroyed.
For the time beings, mechaEnthusiast's advanture with Logi has been hidden from this battle update.
P5 seems to idle, until suddenly, he snaps back into attention, summoning a tower of extradimensional neckbeasts, who stomp all over Astrec for 5 damage, worsening his damage debuff.
He then beckons one of the neckbeasts to come forth and slits it's throat. Using it's blood, he weaves together a ritual to apply a simple regenerative effect on all of the Attack Ships, which will now begin to slowly acquire iron from their surroundings.
"...Wow. That's just nasty."
The Attack Ships do the obvious thing, dealing 60k damage to the Pipe Orcan, 45k to 3A 1, 5 Damage to Winkins, 75k to an 05, and a piddling 2 damage to Karpinsky.
The 3A entities destroy an Attack Ship, miss the Pipe Orcan, and deal 5 damage to ParadoxDragon and JOE. The 05 entities scramble the Healthbars of Auma and the Universal Shield. The Amalgamation attempts to use Blood on the Pipe Orcan, but misses. Such a shame.

The Newcomer notices the alchemy pool.
"Wait, is that what I think it is?" He moves to pick up an Orange Lance. Using it like a javelin, he throws it at 05 Entity 2's head, which it effortlessly pieces through. Picking up it's fallen weapon, the Newcomer turns to face it's partner, and uses Petrify, causing a silver glow to emanates from his outstretched hand. The glow increases in intensity, until it becomes a searing beam of light, which he uses to partially transform the creature into solid stone, reducing it's attack power and dodge, but increasing it's AC.
Auma scans the Hole in Reality, and the entities coming out of it.

The limited study of this creature has determined that it's proper identification is ENTITY_3A. ENTITY_3A commonly carries OBJECT_E, an artifact which grants it the power to teleport short distances. Further information on this creature is nonexistent.
[A] E. 50% Dodge. Rounds Active Left: 3.
OBJECT_E is commonly held by ENTITY_3A. It grants it's holder the power to teleport up to 32 meters in any direction at will. However, study of OBJECT_E is limited, due to it's fragility. The few samples of OBJECT_E that have been acquired from ENTITY_3A have all shattered moments before a proper analysis could be conducted on it's properties.

ENTITY_05 is a 2.5-meter tall being resembling a burnt skeleton. ENTITY_05 touch has the anomalous property of being able to temporarily "obfuscate" the internal organs of creatures it strikes, making it difficult to treat wounds inflicted by it.

OBJECT_272 is an weapon held by instances of ENTITY_05. Based on how it is held, this object is believed to be some kind of sword.
[A] 18D.
OBJECT_18D is the "head" of ENTITY_05. The reason it remains after death is unknown.
Well, that was informative. The Pipe Orcan deals 30k damage to Attack Ships M-O, and elsewhere, Zeyron and the Clone go on an adventure.
