Silence is golden, therefore I must steal it.

But when you called it out, the silence was broken. Does that mean it vanished, or that it's yours now? And if it's yours, does that mean you cannot answer for fear of losing it again? Questions questions...

By claiming that silence I established a connection between it and stole it for myself.
by breaking said silence I ensured nobody could ever get that particular silence back thus ensuring my ownership forever.

It was and now forever will be, mine.

Is it physically possible to kill tge lurker in the angles or even just give it the boot from our reality?

Would such outcomes be limited to use of the godzilla threshold?

To be honest, I believe we're well-past Godzilla treshold at this point. See: M23.
(Oh, of course, the M23 team decided against rampant callous genocide, but it was very well considered. Meaning they've passed the threshold, and so has, by extension, ER(verse) as a whole.)

Wouldn't the godzilla threshold in this case be tearing a hole into the lurkers reality and banging pots and pans together until the lurkers natural predator comes to shut us up?

what does M23 have to do with the godzilla threshold?

Id like to get something less specific than closest weapon or myself.

Target nearest object in X direction would be nice, but id settle for knowing nearest armor and nearest other life form.

i wonder what happens if you buy two pocket dimensions and put the anchor for each inside the dimension projected by the other?

do you get trapped outside normal spacetime and become the doomed god of two cubic miles of artificial sub-realities?

Is this the bag of holding/portable hole question with a different hat?

I mean, you have the generator that creates the dimension... and you have the little interface thing that moves the gates spatial coordinates to your position within your original reality.
but what happens if you activate the interface thingy whilst inside a second dimension?
provided you havent already destroyed reality, does it cause the gateway to jump into the second dimension and thereby cut off direct access to the original?
what happens if you move the generator into its own or another sub-reality?

All these questions and more

if we tricked the lurker in the angles into entering a pocket dimension and then immediately collapse it would that "fix" our origin tech?

Of course not.

If we have given them real freedom, then they a free to sell themselves back into slavery if they so choose.

I know what piecewise would probably say: "Sounds like something you should experiment with"

If I can't fix him up without a Med roll

Don't you mean WITH a Med roll? Unless it's a covert way to kill him through bad Aux rolls.

Highly experimental and a great deal is
undocumented and will require user experimentation.

yup, sounds about right.

You think i could get the team fund to buy one of them?
