Sterbelicht - One Sacrifice At A Time Against The Galaxy (40K)
Well. That's on the docket then.

I wonder which systems the Orks are in. If it is in like Eschich then we can do some cooking
I have considered that, but I'm not sure it's a great idea to send an expeditionary force at least a sub-sector away from home and deep into the territory of people we were just fighting a war with and we just took one of their biggest sources of manpower and psykers and destroyed at least 2 Battlefleets of ships. This isn't the kind of thing anyone would handle lightly.
I'm willing to do this kind of thing with the BAC b/c we have no bad blood with them and they at least pay lip service to honor and chivalry. The Free Duchy I'm a bit more hesitant to do.
[X] A...Ceasefire?
I'm guessing this will set off a series of Sub-Turns again.
@zack omega24 had a good idea with offering up the Anti-Ork Ecology Cleansing Methods in negotiations. I'd prefer to only give up stuff that improves the lives of all citizens rather than military technology, materiel or territory that could be used against us but I suspect Cooky is going to give us choices that make us grit our teeth.
Hive Food Production, Nutri-paste would be good, maybe Improved Servitors (only works with vat-grown I assume) could create an incentive to stop servitorizing the menials but might also lead to increased military production. Almost anything might be twisted to inhuman bullshit though...

[X] A...Ceasefire?
.... not sure how these would go but ominous and not as I hoped.
First some sounds like doing a supernova or the like.
second one seems like HiveMind
and... yah no humanity at all. Hell no.
that makes sense and something I saw coming.
I mean, aren't Alphas the one the Imperium did their best to kill off and rare? I think they would be more thrown against the enemies on the other fronts more then anything. Also we haven't really shown our hand with Psyker stuff, we have done 'small' stuff like breaking a shield generator on Voxx Primus, which may not have gotten back to them, but other then that we haven't done much in Space that would require an Alpha Escort.
.... what? Am I missing something here? I got Alpha Plus was a big fucking deal since that's on par with the Emperor and Magnus and Alpha is just below that but its that much of a threat? just a single Alpha Psyker? I heard some of needing an Space Marine chapter to deal with it, able to kill off an army and able to toss a battleship or two. Reason enough to kill on sight before they get boosted by chaos or just sacrifice that Psyker to Big E... is this because at the current size of things that a Single Alpha Psyker is enough to wreck our shit throughly?
Oh right, the only the ones who know are on Voxx primus or dead. We didn't use it on the Dutchy fleet here...yah I think they would need a few battles to figure out what is happening first and maybe panicking as they think we have Beta and Alpha Pykers to pull off that shit.
Oh shit would the Chamleon be able to avoid the Array scan? damn that's good, wasn't sure where it stood in that but glad to see our stealth ship doing work. hmmm maybe we should do a stealth Psy-ship later on when we do some more Psy-tech and use that for offense when we can instead of relying on the Chamleons for deployment.
Also a baker's dozen suns popping off is terrifying. and if this was an actual faction and novel or codex on this, the memes about the Federation and the choirs would explode with so many sun and star memes and jokes.
HUH!? The highest we ever had was gamma and that was it? I knew you said we did well with taking below Gamma and punching up but I thought.... okay checked the ranking and the top three without going into the Pluses, is Gamma, Beta, and Alpha. So Highest being a Gamma is fine and we are able to make the below Gamma useful and strong through choirs... I would have thought we had a beta or such but it wasn't felt much because of how we group pyskyer in fives and spread out the burden.
Be careful Nurgle didn't sneak any plants from his garden.... or any weird plants that could make exotic and weird drugs and make a pleasure cult.... or find any strange seeds that like off but been there according to some plan... or if the plants start attacking you when they detect blood.
Yah, from what I remember about the limited sources I've heard/read about those type, it requires data and setting up right to activate the weapon or to make it actually able to kill a world. You mess that up and it'll fail or make just a big explosion instead of killing the planet.... or the one that seems like like a contact type of bomb and breathing on it would set it off.Depends on the bomb used. Most require a specific set if circumstances so narrow that it would be 100% safe to use them as battering rams. Others get looked at funny and explode. No way to tell which these ones are.
...well, there is one way.
Blowing up the ship normally resolves one of them and stalls the other as the you have to shift through the wreckage to find it.
Military men will make bets on anything and very much thinking we are xenos that just attacked humanity because its what Xenos do, no other reason needed. Also shows the universal accepted nature of shit talking, threats, and boasts. Oh right, Memtics are a thing and good on them for doing that because anything else, you can't be too careful in 40k. Just funny it is one of the times that it would be fine and we don't do that.
Huh, that was fast all things considered, I guess the communications wasn't too long or had much else but still.
Ohhh, they are that surprised by seeing its a human instead of a Xenos considering the near total lack of any information about us. Assuming Chaos Corruption because of it but then finding none... So they jump to either advanced tech to pretend to be human, probably just alongside AI, or Traitors to humanity. To be fair, it makes sense to them as our actions did cause several other systems to fall or just the latest systems lost but this time it was to humans who just wanted more clay.
Or just how the Imperium believes itself the rightful ruler of all mankind and any human polities not are to be brought into the fold or destroyed and if you refused to join you were a traitor.
Oh, right the actor and Kil'Drabi are with the SBG's. So this is local Star Mechanicus Magi speaking. I do like how it masks as both sides know the Main fleet is out of the way for now but both have different context and knowledge for that. The Dutchy fleet don't know the reason why its like this and how it might just be because they know its exterminatus are on board and the Glimmering Federation was holding back because of it but they will not if they go through with this use those weapons... of course most of them didn't know about it and how they were gonna kill off the entire Hive World when they found out their forces were still fighting.
Still all things considered I don't really see how-
Wait a Minute.... holy shit did this man really did a coup or arrest of the captains who would exterminatus the Hive World. I guess there is a sharp divide in the factions in the Dutchy and what is allowed. I guess with confirmation of no chaos influence and its humans... it is mostly recoverable as opposed to needing to kill off the Hive World which is what was planned but never told to the other captains or admirals. Part of the problem with masking the true mission and how it is viewed.
Still I'm surprised this happened as, yes for all the memes of the Imperium and the like, there are some who would oppose exterminatusing a world when it is recoverable, I just don't think this will go well back home... Wait, Hold up. This entire mission was just to Deny the Hiveworld to us.. so is this all just to slow us down and throw this fleet away and when we moved away it looked like a chance to free or contest the Hiveworld to keep fighting? Something seems off about this whole thing.
.... Ahhh did we start a rebellion from that little reveal? I wonder what the knowledge the Dutchy Mechanicus have AI in a single will do once we let them know that bit. Still weird how us saying 'use words instead of killing yourselves in spite' worked, though it was only because of it being an Iconoclast Reformist Admiral pushing for making an attempt to talk to us and the Dutchy needing a a breather for right now. especially after losing the two battlefleets and risking losing another two in this attempt that got cut short. At the very least the dutchy is desperate enough for it.
I would go for Ceasefire. we have a better idea of how to do things now with our learning experience from Voxx and an idea of the capability of the Dutchy. We already know that as we did with the Office of Propaganda and make a Diplomacy Corps to handle Diplomatic actions so that doesn't take up too much as well. I just view it as worth it in the long run and hides how vulnerable we were here.
Oh, and Commodore Lista-34.a doesn't have to die in a heroic last stand, small miracles.
Fog of war is a hella of a thing.
THAT"S WHY! So we have a Iconoclastic Reformist Admiral here who would look upon us favorably for what we said in the message while needing to deal with other fronts and having diplomacy actually be possible.... to a degree. Neither side, us nor the Dutchy, truly believe it will last long after what we did but at the least it'll buy a few decades of peace to sort out the other problems. Also seems like the Orks are moving moves. there would just that desperate to close a front and take things seriously in talking and meaning it... for a time.
Oh I was thinking that out of all of our first diplomacy actions it was with an Imperium Dogmatic breakaway, wasn't expecting that. it was more the unlikely ones, chaos doesn't count because they seethe at our very existence and wouldn't go with it earnestly.
I mean, we did get 5 5 dice roll to avoid the Null-Nets, its just back in our favor after the whiplash of luck. Still surprised by that.
I think the mission itself was also something else. As said, the Admiral wasn't told of this at all and was under the impression it was an evac mission or contesting to hold the world longer, given he was an Iconoclast reformist, this might have been done to get him killed in all of this and showed the Dutchy Leadership didn't give a shit about the people.
Add in we can be talked with and at least stalled for a time and aren't doing warcrimes on the people of the planets we took and there are bigger problems I think the Admiral is just done with this whole mission.
HAH, yah and if Ceasefire goes through we will have a reason to a Diplomacy corps similar to the Office of Propaganda and subversion. Just do an action to start it and the Corps just keeps up the maintenance of it. If not we can still do it to start stuff with the Black Ash Clan and the Ashan Familes.
I'm guessing just upping the tithe for the remaining planets in the Dutchy to make up the difference. Having a Hive World just made it easier to get from one place to recruit from or at least go to refill the ranks and not worrying about how that would impact a world.
I'm guessing with the constant pressure they managed grind them to dust along with using the Null-Nets and Flyssa.... I really hope they don't have an even worst/bigger variants of those things that was held up by them, the Orks, or Dark Eldar.... I think we should invest in some more psy-tech and regular tech and then an expansion of the fleet. We already doubled the SAG's we had.... Oh right more songs we'll be able to make.
OH SHIT, right ahhhhhh Hey QM what would the Lamenters feel about this? they... gonna be alright with the ceasefire? or are they all in on the crusade mentality right now?
Oh they did this but also need time to gather another fleet and deal with another front. at the very least they have us stop our seemingly expansion as they didn't know how many other Fleets we could call up. From their perspective we did that once they started to escalate with planet killing weapons and said we would put everything into stopping them. they don't know what's behind Echish. Fog of war and all that.
Even one turn will be enough if we get our SBG's back in place and build more or do some upgrades and songs. I would guess one or two and we'll be watching the maps.
I mean... it really feel like that he did this so we would kill ourselves on the fleet or do mass bloodshed, so the fact we talked and postponed it was irk him like nothing else.
Really, this is what we have used Diplomacy for the entire time and how the culture we crafted views it as. We really need to tone it down all little.
huh, a larger amount then I thought and a lot of neutrals... at the very least it will be easy to relocate the people considering the Howling Gate is ready and with the departure of the dutchy loyalists that reduces the amount of people even more to what we have to move and the like.
Problem is we still need around five or six turns for more worlds to be ready.
Yup, we are gonna want to do that not just for the Dutchy but to be able to do stuff with the Ashan families and Black Ash Clan or even Shipbuilder Alliance. We have options there and at this point its better to just make an Office or Corps for Diplomacy so we freed up actions later on.
again, I'm leery about going straight into that considering we will just be recovering. I'd rather not go into this thinking a 'we'll be home by christmas' thing. I'd like to spend an action getting the info we can about the Black Ash Clan as of now and how things are going, make contact with them and use soft power. I think we need to slow roll things instead of doing we tried to do after the 621 war, we need time for these sorts of things.
I think offering to make parts or repair the Knights they had will be a good thing to use and offer. Just need to figure out how to deal with the Matriarchy part considering they think the Emperor is the Empress. and we already dealt with a Rose cult already.
"That's a surpise tool that will help us later"
also that is something the Dutchy doesn't know about, I'd say we save it for when we need to cause chaos or division.
We might have, similar to how instead of killing a world that the Orks controlled via asteroids we sent out a broadcast seeking any survivors and there was a good amount of them, we just went and did it. We asked and made the attempt. a lot just don't bother with it and it worked out for us this time.
Ahhh so a split in the council, family, etc. One part did it without letting the other know or making a power play and such. yup, based on the dice we have Dogmatics, Iconoclast Reformist and three other factions. probably at each other's throats every other time and the like.That assumes they are monolithic, knew about this, ordered it, condone it, etc. etc. etc.
Like, I showed you that there are (at least) five different factions with pull and power in the Duchy. Assume that carries upwards.
hmmmm, it is tempting but we should keep it for now unless we need to leverage it during the talks. having the option is good though.
I'm sorry I think that was wrong, 4 years? after all that happened there? did it die down over the centuries?
makes sense, just a minor thing considering the galaxy at large.
holy shit the Irrita know their stuff and are experts. Maybe try to get them in the Fedeation during the short break.... maybe. still that is impressive.
I mean we are somewhat guilty in that we were subverting and staged a revolution and invaded them. this was mostly for population and clay. I guess a first strike would make sense in context and we could frame it that way after the scouts started coming our way. either way it should be fun to watch.
We do need to get our faction more on this and holding back, lest this snowball in the future when they take the peace treaty as time to prepare more revolutions and fleet build up. I think we should attempt it with a brain drain via the helping of any Mechanicus who want to invent travel to our territory and the like.
it'll be interesting and at the very least we should have enough time for our SBG's to get back so it fufills that function. We should at least attempt to try diplomacy.
Ah, so even the Irrita can't pull that off. What would it take to start to fix the Forge?For the Node. The Forge is too toxic.
It only goes to 6, but I like the way you think! *rolls up more factions*
Oh no, QM is making even more faction to make it seem just like the Imperium.
[X] A...Ceasefire?
There's also the Mashan High Temple. We could do some diplomacy with them and see if they would like to help us overhaul our education system since it is kinda lacking.
I don't think of it as a "we'll be home by Christmas" kind of thing. It will be a commitment, the question is how big of one it will be. We know that the BAC had only 5 worlds before their current war and currently have about 2 SBGs worth of ships in theater with their ground forces mostly consisting of Knights. Even sending just 1 SBG and 10 SAGs could be a big boon for their war effort against the Hegemony and would likely be a good way to ease relations.
Plus again, the Croaf are noted to use Abhuman or Xenos slaves, and the sooner we get there the sooner we could try cutting a deal where they send those slaves to us instead of just purging them for being "unclean".
TBF, Node 17c was just a hostile world with the atmosphere just being acidic. Fix that then the planet is A-OK
Playtime - [Canon]
PLAYTIME
"All clear, advance!"
The call went out as the Federation troops of the Droman 1st's elite recon unit poured into the hallway, past the smoldering corpses of the re-deceased that were recently returned to rest. They were some of the best, and taken from the 1st Cradle Assault Unit no less. A unit most storied and decorated, who led the charge in many of the Federation's first engagements from fighting the Slaanesh-corrupted nobles on Droma III when the Candle Keepers only had Cradle Station all the way to the siege of Luteus Prism when they finally purged the Archwan Sub-Sector of the Ork ravagers. Now, they're here on Saget after having been reformed and consolidated into the 1st Droman System Army Group centuries ago. While the Neumidian 1st has been covering itself in glory throughout the campaign against Neon while the Droman 1st hadn't seen as much action as they used to during those early days, to Lt. Ryker the Droman 1st, and the 1st Cradle Assault Unit in particular, were still the best damn infantry in the whole Sector and by the Star-Child he was going to prove it.
5 hours ago the Celestial Choir attached to Saget picked up a lot of psychic bullshit he can't even pretend to think he understands coming deep from enemy lines beneath a gigantic Mausoleum that was already bombed to smithereens. Whatever was happening here sure as Hell wasn't good and estimated to be a last ditch effort to pull something off before reinforcements arrived to crush the Nurglite Cultists and their undead monstrosities here for good under a tide of steel and promethium. Which is why Command sent us in, several platoons of the best troops they had available to get air-dropped in and make our way through the catacombs to get to the source of what the Choir picked up.
After making our way through those damned tunnels where occasionally it was like the walls were coming alive and trying to rend us apart, we made it to the lower levels of the Mausoleum where we found out what it was that the Rotheads were planning: Daemon Summoning rituals. Some of them various teams managed to stop, others weren't so lucky and had to fight against various Daemons such as chanting, bloated walkers with poisoned blades, giant rotting flies that could rip a man's head off, and giggling green imps with sharp claws. And that's on top of the hordes of Poxwalkers and the wild-eyed cultists in rag caked in filth and excrement and armed with whatever old autoguns, and the occasional lasgun, they can find.
As they jogged through the foul miasma that permeated the once hallowed halls while the echoes of gunfire and the tortured moans of the damned bounced off the walls, Rykers team made their way to their objective.
"P-873, where's our target?" He called out to the Vox-operator in the squad who was getting orders while looking at the dataslate with what floorplans we managed to get for the Mausoleum.
"Just around the bend, sir. Can't miss it".
And true enough, right around the corner where the hallway opened up, where the ceiling was only half a meter over us and the walls wide enough for only 3 men side-by-side could fit, it was now large enough that you could fit an Armiger Knight in here. Several corridors like the one we came from on either side of the chamber, and at the end was a set of slightly ajar large doors with an eerie glow coming from the other side and a pair of giant statues of cloaked figures with swords standing vigil.
And in front of those doors were a gaggle of cultists that were a bit more well-armed than the others behind crappy barricades with five times their number in Poxers.
"They're here!" one of the cultists shouted behind them before raising up a rusted chainsword. "FOR THE ROTFATH-"
He didn't get the chance to finish the battle cry before Ryker blew his head off with a las-bolt without breaking stride, The same with the rest of his squad as they fired upon the cultists while Val and Wreav scythed through the ranks of Poxers with their Hotshot's Beam modes and B-420 lit what was left ablaze with her flamer. But it was not without casualties on our end as a cultist with a Bolter blew off Nella's leg before getting a few new holes put into him in turn. Someone tried pushing the doors closed, but a plasma shot from Z-906 turned him into slag before he could.
As we rushed forward toward the inner chamber, the green light seemed to grow in intensity and the chanting heard from within reached a fever pitch before being replaced with cries of pain. As we burst in, we saw dozens of disemboweled cultists around a glowing green sigil drawn on the ground that burned with energies that just felt wrong, and centered within it was an ornate stone tomb that seemed to rot and melt into sludge before us.
"Your faith… in the Fetus-Prince…. can't save you…" wheezed out a woman kneeling on the floor, her white hair matted with filth and her vestments stained with her blood and entrails. "Just as the Corpse-Emperor… only Nurgle's embr-"
Wreav didn't give her the chance to finish before blasting her in the face.
Then there was the giggling, sounding like it was coming all around them, from in their heads. The new puddle of sludge in the center of the room started acting weird and Ryker knew shit was about to get fucked.
"Torch It!" he yelled out while tossing a plasma grenade at the bubbling ooze, with others having the same idea with incendiaries or plasma grenades or just shooting it, and B-420 was just spraying the whole thing with her flamer. But then there was what looked like a giant, flabby arm emerge from the puddle that began to pull itself out.
"Fall back outside, Now!" he barked out so they wouldn't be crowded in a relatively small chamber with whatever thing was just summoned, his squad falling back in good order while still laying down fire on the abomination with Z-906 even charging a shot and firing on the hulking mass that was emerging.
They all set up positions outside of the door, weapons ready and prayers on their lips as they prepared for whatever Warp-spawn abomination just got summoned.
"F̸̹̓̂̿̐̃̌̃̿̋ͅr̶͉̤͉̭͎̥̈́̓i̷̢̨̯̜͖̙̳͇̲̟̻͕͖̎͊̒́͗̎̊e̷̩̣̻͌̿n̵̡̡̡̡̧̡̤̗̞̝̩̗̜͕̒̈́̎̂͝d̴̨̹̻̣͇̰̠̱͉͍͔̩͠ŝ̸̡̡̟͔̞̳̖̌̌̍̽́̾̽?̴̛̮̰̍̋̉̂́̉͐̈́̍͋͠"
Then, the hulking mass barreled through the heavy stone door, leaving a melted hole in the masonry, exposing it for all to see. It was a vaguely slug-like mass of a sickly green hide that looked as if it had the consistency of sludge with a pair of big, flabby arms that looked too small for its frame. Where its stomach should have been there was a fanged maw big enough that it could gobble up an Ogryn whole. On top of its head were a dozen tentacle-like tubes spewing forth some kind of noxious gas that made everyone glad they had environmentally sealed suits. Its triclopian eyes dull and unfocused, devoid of any higher intelligence. Then it looked at us, and the corners of its mouth curled up in a hideous mockery of a joyful smile.
"̶̢̡̧̢͈̠͕̤̞͓́̈́̌̋͊̌̀͘F̶͔̝͕̿̊̄̋̿̓̀͂͝r̵̨͖̟̖̣͉̀̈́̽̃͐̇̈́͗̊̒ḯ̴̢̧̡͎̹͓̖̞̟̫̝͎̗̓̚ͅe̴͈̮͔̞̍̽̄͒͗͒̽͒͝ë̴̮͈̥́̈́̑̇e̶̠̩͎͔̽͛͐̆̂̅̓̈́̚͝͝e̵̘̥͕̰̪͖͖̼̯͙̼͛̏̀̓̀͋͋̕e̵͍͔̔̕̕͝n̷̨̲̬̦͙̥͙̙͑̅d̶̛̤̜̜͔̠͙͕̹̼̗̬͌̍̐̐͐́̉̄͌̐̚̚͠͠ͅş̷̡̜̲̙̘̑̅͋͑̈̍̍̃̃͋̚̚͝ş̷̛͔̟̪̰͈͒̈́́͊͛͐̌͊͛̂̕s̵̩̙̘̰̭̖͕̝͕͕̺̔̊̅̉ͅ.̷̧̢̤̳̤̫̺̱̦̻̑̃͑.̴͍͇̭͉͑͋̒͒͊̈́́̐͑̇̿̒̓.̷̫̹̪͇͂͜.̸̢̮̮͍̯̠͍͖̯͍̀̿̓̀̌͛̆͆͌.̵̨͈͙͇̹̳̠̫̝͚̳̖̻͂̿̑͆̈́͋̆͘"̷̝̬͍̱͕́̓͘ͅ
It was the most horrifically disgusting thing any of us had ever seen.
A barrage of lasbolts and plasma was unleashed upon the monster, albeit in much less of a disciplined manner than Ryker would have liked, with some of the initial shots going wide off the mark, and B-420 looking like she was shaking in her suit.
The daemon advanced, using its arms to help drag itself forward as it slithered towards us, leaving a trail of toxic mucus in its wake. It was almost heedless of the gunfire raining upon it. The scorch marks left upon its body seeming to heal almost as fast as they appear.
"Catch this you fat bastard!" S-789 shouted out before tossing a krak grenade.
"̸̨̦͉̲̞̅̌̏̔̏̃͒̒͆ͅC̸͖̫͓͕̅̅͗̐̈́a̵̞͚̟͒̽͒͐t̵̢̮̯̩̜̲͎̦͔͂̏ç̵̋̃̂́̑͛̈͛̓̈́̚͝h̵̺̝͇͕͓̯͖̠̤̯͈̟̩͛̏͂̓͠?̶̛͎͕̀͊̀̒͛̄̊̈́͝"̷̡͎̳̯̱̞̰̹̥̘̣̲̦͆̾̽̌̈́͂͠͝
The Daemon caught it in his left hand, looking at it dumbly before it exploded and blew up its arm. In response, it guffawed, then in a second a tongue that looked like the mouth of a lamprey shot out from its lower maw at S-789 and in the next it dragged him screaming into it to swallow him whole. After that B-420 seemed to somewhat snap out of the shock she was in and charged forward.
She came to a stop 6 meters before the Beast before shouting "BURN YOU KARKER!" and bathing it in holy promethium with her flamer.It didn't stop coming. It grabbed her with its remaining arm then tossed her up into the air, almost reaching the ceiling before her screaming form plummeted to the ground in a broken heap before the Daemon. It looked at her while its skin bubbled and boiled from the quickly dying fires, almost like it was expecting her to get up before quickly being disappointed that she wasn't moving anymore.
Then it took another overcharged plasma shot to the face which caused its head to reel back for a moment, before it then projectile vomited forward. We ducked and dodged, but Z-906 and Jax got covered in it and collapsed to the ground wailing as their armor and flesh melted.
Everyone was scattered about from the loose line they held before, but they still kept up their fire on the monster. It turned to go after Val and Wreav, then Ryker saw it had on its back what looked like a huge bulbous boil that was slowly getting smaller. He didn't know this would work, but they were running out of options. He turned his Lasgun's settings to Mag-Dump while he ran up behind the beast, then took aim at the spot on its back.
"Die Daemon."
His gun fired off a blast of energy, superheating the boil until it popped. For the first time the Daemon shrieked in agony, then seemed to slightly expand before it imploded, sending gore everywhere,
It took a few seconds for everyone to stop shooting where it was.
"I-is it dead?" P-873 asked, his gun shaking in his hands.
"About as dead as we can make it." Ryker said, observing the scene and his six remaining squad members.
Then they heard the telltale groans and moans of damned and their shambling footsteps.
"Alright people!" Ryker shouted out while drawing his Power Sword, "Our objective's complete, time to get the hell out of here!"
Good fucking Star-Child, this took me WAY TOO DAMN LONG to finish! I started this months ago and I just kept putting it off for a long as time. How long you may ask? All the way back when Neon collapsed and we had to deal with numerous zombie hordes on Saget!
Ugh, at least now I'm done with this. God, I really need to be more focused with this, b/c I know I could have gotten this done within a week if I actually applied myself.
