I may not be able to post today, since I have something to do around the time I would normally post. I ask that all of you try to refrain from posting so that, if I have to post tomorrow, I don't have as much to respond to. Thanks.
@twin: feel free to hit the Preston Cole with large amounts of damage, we need to wrap the trial up and I had a plan for a bit of a cutscene with the Preston Cole that will significantly shorten the fight. Although the regular vord should have been helping protect the queen this entire time, I really am not goign to complain, but I'd like to be able to go for a total KO this time around since the croach and keepers (in addition to a number of other vord) will be gone next round provided the Preston Cole takes enough damage (but not killed)
As the Preston Cole shudders from the fighting going on, he stumbles, and drops the nether spire, which tumbles out into the abyss... Well gorilla. I guess I didn't really need it though.
The nether spire is caught by amp, because at this point, he really deserves a spoil.
Hank unloads the Emerald Nova into the vord.
Waiting for serpent to post again so as to see whether or not Astria will be joining in on the combat operandi.
So where are we going?
The alchemiter cave.
There's a handful of things I need to make. Why are we bringing Tricky?
To help us make them.
Don't worry, it'll make more sense once we get there. Why do you need me?
I figured now is the perfect time to tell you about some things.
If you are to be my head general, you'll need to know the state of affairs. Very well then.
How much do you know? That you are piono further ahead in your timeline than the one I've been working with. The OP King is somehow involved in that. Beyond that, I'm in the dark.
Very well, the OP King has sent me into a simulation of sorts.
Using a one-use hexahedron to create a temporary replica of the Trifecta.
Specifically for the purpose of training me up, shaping my skill, and obtaining information and power.
Within this alternate Trifecta, several things were made different.
I did not act with backup, but I already knew all that was to transpire, and as such needed no backup.
I was able to interfere in numerous events, claim both the Emerald Nova and the Deudly Magnum,
and use the black monolith there to create the very mini-hexahedron used to start the simulation in the first place.
In that simulation, I was able to discover a bit more about Tricky's power, and use it to make Rapture. Wait, I though you acted without backup.
Tricky has disappeared several times, as you're aware. Yes?
Well, he made several trips to the simulation. Ah.
Phobos shoots a glance at Tricky, who just cackles madly again.
Only one thing really affected things out here, serpent. What about her?
One of the two of her is from the simulation.
One of Tricky's rampages somehow launched her incipisphere out of the simulation and into the real Paradox Space.
I'm not sure which of her came from the simulation, although I suspect that it was the one that has joined Eric. Is there anything else you did?
Yes, a lot.
I came out of the simulation about the time that the Trifecta coalesced.
I used that time to test out some of the knowledge I had obtained, and using it, I was able to set up the boss vortex for my past self. Why did you do that?
It was a test to see if the simulation had worked properly, the boss vortex summoned the simulated versions. By now all of them but Kurak, who is still trapped in the void somewhere, have dissipated and dissolved. I assume that time period is when you set up the contacts?
Yes. I needed to have everything ready, and as you are aware, I had you contact my past self, after which point I was able to thread everything through him. Under my supervision.
Yes, and I thank you for that. You came back to Godcraft, but you didn't stay.
Yes, I came back because I remembered having interfered in the fight with Scratch.
I decided to use it to get some more accurate knowledge of events as they were transpiring. I see.
In essence, I was able to use it to obtain very thorough knowledge of most of the happenings before the massive battle. The test-run of the fleet?
Yes.
I also made trips to various places in the Trifecta, facilitating the future growth of Project Nexus. So, did it work?
I don't know, I am avoiding time travel for the most part.
Time loops are not worth the headache they cause.
Or, most of the time they aren't.
Either way, I've eliminated all of the major threats to the power of Project Nexus. How have you done that?
I've unleashed the greatest terrors I can find into the Void.
Project Nexus is the only organization currently strong enough to fight them off without unacceptable losses.
Really, its a miracle that twinbuilder is still alive. Twinbuilder is in the void?
Yes, me and the OP King passed him on the way to a quick chat with Binary. Ah, that brings me to my only big question. What are you going to do about Binary?
Nothing. Why not? If I am to be your military adviser, I have to know these things.
Because Binary is not a true threat.
As much power as he thinks he has, he can't achieve what he believes he can. What if he takes control of the update terminal?
THE update terminal?
That's why I'm not concerned. There's more than one actually.
As far as I can tell, there are at least three.
There's the one twinbuilder possesses, the one that TT2000 once used, and a third that was used when twinbuilder's update terminal crashed, allowing a few minor, but still relevant events to happen. That terminal was also used to solidify the true origins of Godcraft by fseftr, who as of yet does not realize the true nature of the computer she used to run her forum game.
And likely never will, at least, not until it is no longer in her possession. But the third one can't be anywhere in the same range of strength as the main one.
It isn't, but the first and second are of comparable power. Then who has TT's?
The Author. The Author?
Yes. I know because it is he who presides, and at the very least tries to control, the first tvtropes conflict.
He also used his knowledge to aid twinbuilder in dealing with the Glitch. Then why hasn't he done more?
Simple. He can't.
The update terminal provides one with no more real power than an ordinary sword does.
All it truly is is a channel of your own forces, although it is an inapt metaphor.
An ordinary sword does not control your movements.
The update terminal is a tool for the Narrative to control the user even more than it is the other way around.
The Author unwittingly locked himself into the Narrative's grasp. So he's not a threat either.
Precisely.
But he still will never let Binary abuse the other update terminal, even at great personal cost. So two birds with one stone, and not even thrown by us.
Exactly. So where's the catch?
That's why I'm worried...
I still haven't been able to find it yet.
But I am absolutely certain that it has something to do with the godmodder himself.
Suddenly, all the Terminators ever show up and exterminate the High Queen.
They then are blown into the Void, but take the Croach with them when they do.
I roll the Canvas' Eight at the Queenvord.
I make SCP-517 target the Godmodder.
"You have done terrible things. People who do terrible things have terrible things happen to them."

I start building an underground headquarters for me, the Pro-Godmodders, and the Godmodder. It will take 3 posts to complete.
PG Headquarters: 1/3
TIP: It's endgame, if you're trying to protect the godmodder, spoilers, but it's not going to work. Plus, there's currently the Vord, which everyone (including you and the PGs) needs to fight.
Remember the wiki? It's been undergoing a revival of sorts over the past month or so, mainly due to the achievement system introduced by me, obviously. However, this revival has really only been because of a couple of people editing a lot. If you want to help out on pages about you and your stuff, that would be great. If you want to archive dive and spend hours updating the wiki, I might recommend against it, but that would be better. If you don't want to do either, then consider this a reminder of it's existence as a resource of information.
I walk up to the Vord Keepers and begin to have a nice conversation with them. "Yes, hello Vord Keepers. How has your day been? Complete garbage? Fantastic. I can completely relate to that. Have you ever wondered why the sky is an endless void of static until you kill the Enderdragon? I've wondered that a lot too. Why doesn't the static ever consume you or at least engulf you? You'd think that would be a common issue with the lovely residents here. Maybe that's why you needed to kill the Enderdragon. Because TV static is awfully annoying and people want that garbage out of their house."
I record that "conversation" and put it on loop. I then implant a recording of the conversation into all of the Vord Keepers. Forcibly if need be. The recording plays on end for roughly eighty seven thousand four hundred thirty six years before the audio recorder breaks, driving the Vord's insane. By the time of 89,451 AD the Vord have been out-competed by the other indigenous life, and are pushed to the brink of extinction by lifeforms better evolved to the area, and their insanity. The starving and nearly extinct Vord Keepers are brought back in time, and then they promptly eat their past brethren, leading to their current nearly extinct state. Every other player is then sent to 89,451 AD to ensure that when they (inevitably kill) the Vords there, the loop completes successfully.
I quickly take out the Creation Pen and, going into a null time state, write an entire D&D/Generic Tabletop RPG Setting in which all the enemies are ridiculously overpowered relative to the players, the players cannot level up, death is permanent, and no NPC is friendly. Everyone wants the PCs dead for their own reasons. And then, after laying out all the tables (which are so imbalanced that it is a 1 in 998,647,230,476,403 chance that there is any loot at all), I write: "There is a portal to this setting that sucks in all Vord, throughout the omniverse, and forces the Vord to become the Player Characters, at starting level, with absolutely no gear except starting clothes. Others cannot enter this portal."
Roll for initiative, insects. You're about to be squashed.
I then roll dice in the setting, as GM. They're all weaponized dice, and they are aimed at the Vord. And they're mostly 8d8s.
In other news, has anyone else thought that DTG would make an awesome D&D setting? ((Well, maybe not D&D per se, but.))
I mention this to the Godmodder, just because.

I use the Nether Spire on the Croach! {Thank you greatly, Piono!}
All the normal chargey/+1-ey stuff!
So, I'll be away for the next couple days, on account of my robotics class ending with a competition some distance away. We even got a mention in the local paper for our mediocre crate-moving robot! Hope I don't miss anything important, TTFN.
