You call the army to march back south.


You join forces with the soldiers besieging Consiert. A war council gathers, and two thoughts on fighting emerge - one calls for the entire army to move south and take a defensive position, other to march north and attack King of Gon before he can enter or approach the city of Consiert, and give the defense hope.

A) The first idea is better! Once we have the higher ground, Gon will have to surrender!
B) The second idea is better! Once we destroy the King of Gon, no one will stop us!
C) We ought to first try and persuade the defenders of Consiert to surrender, giving us an advantage!

You delve deeper into your memorybanks and cybernetic interface, interacting with your brain via datapad.


You can recall the overall memories of your chilldhood, teenage and young adult years. Yet there are specific blocks that are simply... missing.

You're neither a cyberneticist nor a psychiatrist, but you can assume its mental trauma or damage to your circuitry, either of which should be impossible in such an advanced mind-machine interface like yours.

A) Run the diagnostics once again just to be sure.
B) Keep that in mind for later.
C) Try to remember what you've apparently forgotten.

You return to your quarters, undress and lay down on the bed, plugging the datapad into your neck socket.


Your flesh has been designed from scratch to be impervious to imperfections and ugly marks.

Your mind has been designed to operate alongside a biochip and wetware computer to ensure that whatever your flesh is unable to solve or remember, the artificial memory banks and microprocessors will.

You theoretically need no food, but nutrient sludge and liquid vitamins do keep your body healthy and operating at maximum capacity. Speaking of food; you leave the bedroom for a moment to plug your feed-tube into the food delivery system. The hissing of the sludge being pumped into your stomach sounds so alien every time you feed.

Returning to your bedroom, you view your memories in the back of your head; your childhood on the agrarian planet Delta Taurii IIa as a farming drone, your flight from it and placement on the Las Palmas Manufacturing Station during your teen years, and then forced conscription into Delta Taurii System Defense Forces, where you spent most of your time moving ammunition and rations from one ship to another onboard the orbital dockyard.

Everything is in perfect order. No memory blockades or losses, no internal or external problems, no illnesses or troubling changes in your organic components.

And yet...

A) Delve deeper into the complex network of flesh and electronics.
B) Time to learn more about the station's secrets, if there's any.
C) I can pass time by checking out the Captain Zirconius series.

Playerlist:

You accept the arms and men of the southern cities. From there, you march a bit more northernly.


An opportunity for the combined forces to test their skills! A young nobleman, not willing to listen to offer of surrender and good treatment, is challenging the 'vile invaders from the filthy east'.

He has two thousand men, half militia, half well-trained axemen and archers. However, only a handful of horsemen, definitely his bodyguards. You therefore apply the same flanking attack you did before, as the enemy cannot counter it.

5*

Be it difference in dialects, untested chain of command or simply arguments between commanders from two kingdoms, its obvious that the initial stage of battle could've went better.

Still, the enemy is massacred and only a handful have escaped! The young nobleman's body was recovered after he perished during a last-ditch charge that failed just miserably.


Little towns and farming hamlets surrender to your combined army, until you finally reach the walled city of Consiert, one of the biggest in Kingdom of Gon. Its governor refused to surrender, and the towers and walls are bristling with archers. No doubt hundreds or maybe thousands more defenders are within the city itself.

Further north, lies the central territory of Gon, with its capital of Gunnieva.

A) Let's split our forces, leaving some of it to besiege Consiert.
B) Let's besiege the city. We have supplies and access to more - they do not!
C) Maybe we can take the city using less honorable methods?
D) Maybe our new allies can help? Surely they have friends inside that would listen to reason?
E) This is not the city we're looking for - let's bypass it!

Playerlist:

We totally don't have resources or skilled bolds to play with magic. Exploring more stuff would be good, in the meanwhile.

AC

You try to fix the discos.

6

Your attempt to fix the discos worked splendidly! Electronic and synth music starts playing, and inspecting the command console power flow made you realize that there's a way to bypass the neon lights, allowing you to disconnect them from the main power conduit of the bar hall.

You jury-rig the bypass, and the main hall is flooded with white and light blue lights. The neons are still busted, their shattered curves looming over the bar like a specter, and the station corridors are still on auxiliary reds, but at least the main venue is again in working condition.

You make a mental note not to tinker further with the power system, lest the bypass itself also fails.

What now?

A) Got some time to read on bartending lore!
B) Got to kill the time by exploring the station!
C) Got some time to explore myself!
