@LordRoustabout and everyone. Here is another PHO omake from the
PHO Blacksmithery thread. Come join in, we got a thread on the works there.
On this work, I have noticed something.
@Bailey Matutine I KNEW IT. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO KEPT DEVOLVING THE THREAD TO DEGENERACY, DIDN'T YOU!?
Ahem. Continue on.
Survey stared at statistics that one of her subroutines put up.
Morale of the city is low. Extremely low. People are moving out in droves, and there was an uptick of depression in the most-affected area of the city.
The PR for Celestial Forge was…mixed. There was the usual awe and shock at the existence of a team behind Apeiron. There were as many negative comments as well for the amount of collateral and the destruction wrought. People were uncertain, and there were hints of movements that the PRT will be trying to spin it to their end.
This could not stand.
First, she needs to increase the masses' morale. But how? She used her physical body's eyes to look around. Survey has seen many humans do it in search of inspiration.
Her eyes slowly settled on an unassuming post-it note on the fridge…

♦ Topic: List of Things that the Celestial Forge are no longer allowed to do or contemplate
In: Boards ► Places ► America ► Brockton Bay
All_I_Survey (Original Poster) (Verified Celestial Forge) (Verified Cape)
Posted On Apr 21st 2011:
Good afternoon everyone. In an effort to lighten the hearts of everyone in Brockton Bay, I will post the list of things that the members of Apeiron's group, the Celestial Forge, are no longer allowed to do in base or outside. I am mostly the one updating this, while others chimed in from time to time.
1. Apeiron is no longer allowed to make sleeping pills. Half didn't want to consume them on account of them being too beautiful, thereby exacerbating their issues, while the other continuously consumed them into a coma.
2. Do not goad Fleet and Matrix into fighting with their mechs. Training Area 1 is still under repairs, Lethe.
3. Do not replace the contents of Aima's blood bottle with blood-colored juice. She's still angry at you, Lethe.
4. "The Road" is not an acceptable excuse to pull pranks, Fleet. Especially on me.
5. EVERYONE is forbidden from changing the coffee onsite with decaf. As well as outside.
6. Heat-resistant is NOT equal to lava-resistant.
7. ^^^ Seconded.
8. ^^^ Thirded.
9. Everyone is now forbidden from adding frivolous rules that only serve to emphasize certain rules.
10. Do not use Apeiron as a summoning catalyst for your gacha games. No, I don't care how "he always gives the best results!".
11. Do not ask if 'wearing' Garment is pleasurable for her. No, sexual and love lives are off limits.
12. You're just mad that Dadpeiron passed you over.
13. Fleet is now forbidden from posting in the List.
14. Apeiron, you are not allowed to even think about summoning Satan. I am not convinced you would fail.
15. Matrix, you no longer have permission to remake rooms. I couldn't get to bed because you thought it needed to be remade for the 20th time!
16. Do not try to convince the Tinkers of our team into making the best sexual aid they can make for male and female use.
17. No, Matrix is not a "Gundam" and Fleet piloting his mech does not mean they have a illicit relationship.
18. Do not take off your necklaces. Those are the only things that protect you from Thinkers up to Simurgh.
19. Do not try to see if the stealth generator can heat a cup of coffee. Our base would've been revealed to the world if I hadn't taken it off.
20. Do not try to use the matter-fabricator in order to "make a bigger halberd than Armsmaster's then say to him that "mine is bigger than yours.""
21. Apeiron: Survey is no longer allowed to examine the magical sources. I do not want you bluescreening again. (...Acknowledged.)
22. Apeiron: Lethe, please do not tamper with the geases I have. I am enforced to follow them.
23. For that matter, do not try to have Apeiron enter with a geas with you just to have him make something for you. Just ask.
24. However, if it's a matter of getting him to relax...you have the permission of the entire Celestial Forge to force him into that contract.
25. Nanobots are NOT "super tiny legos". I will have you respect them! - Matrix.
More to come soon.

Alright, miss Survey, this is a great list, very funny, but I have a few questions:
1. What did Apeiron mean when he said you bluescreened?
2. Why do you bluescreen when you look at magic?
3. Why do you have access to magic?
4. Are you aware of how immensely concerning numbers 14 and 18 are, especially without any context beyond a single sentence?
5. What is your opinion on the trolley problem?

You know there is a lot of context that can be gleamed from that list when compared to Apeiron's various feats. And while the content of some of these revelations are a bit disquieting they none the less bring some much needed light on the subject. For we can now say with honest certainty that all the insane, illogical, and confounding events that Apeiron has preformed is that A Wizard Did It.

Second: Why can Apeiron summon Satan and would the result be worse than an Endbringer?
Third: Oh behalf of the whole Protectorate, can we have some anti-Simurgh necklaces?
Fourth: Where in Brockton Bay is the lava and how can I go see it.
Fifth: Can Apeiron do actual magic, or is it just like Myrddin with his weird powers?
Sixth: Can you post a video of the fight in Training Area 1?
Seventh: Am I legally allowed to ask you for [Redacted by moderators]?
Mod note: First off, you're a Ward and thus underage, so no. Second off, read their rules.

Okay joking set aside.
In any event I can't wait to see what else is added to that list as time goes on (whether linearly or nonlinearly). Might I suggest that you break that list up into sections one that effects the entire Celestial Forge and then sections dedicated to each member for rules specifically for them?

@FalconOwlShrike, regarding your questions:
1. I assumed he meant that was a metaphor for me falling unconscious.
2. Because it is very complex.
5. I believe I know what you are implying here, and no, I am not an artificial intelligence.
Regarding the anti-simurgh necklaces, unfortunately they are extremely time-intensive, resource intensive, and has to be bio-locked in order to have any effectiveness. Not to mention, trust between the tinker and the recipient. I trust Apeiron with my life, and thus I received one.
@Clockblocker:
1. Garment is a vaunted ally, but is still a rogue. She cared for us all, in one way or another. The doors of Celestial Forge is always open for her.
4. In our base.
6. I am currently getting permission. One moment.
@Robinonboardwalk
That can be done when the amount of rules for specific member has reached a certain number.

According to number 22, "geases" seem like things that force him to follow them. I'm assuming those are the contracts that he oh so favors? If so, then that's one hell of a way to make sure you dont get cheated out in a contract.
What are geases, anyway?
►ErieDigger
Replied On Apr 21st 2011:
@Sothoth Traditionally, a geas is a magically imposed obligation or prohibition, placed on a person by some sort of higher power. Be it a fairy, a god, or some monster. Most modern things tend to have them be one-sided, but historically even the ones that weren't 'on the pain of death' tended to have more of a beneficial effect on whoever had one cast upon them. You can think of it as the spell trying to keep the person alive and able to do whatever it was they were forced to do. Increased strength, speed, other abilities, and so on. Usually the breaking the geas isn't fatal or even really harmful aside from the sudden lack of protection that they provided. IE: The hero doesn't die from eating the thing he said he'd never eat, he dies from the sudden lack of incredible strength when he has to fight later that night.
Pronounced with a Hard G, and e like in bed. Gesh.
We can infer from this, though, that yeah your theory regarding Contracts might be right, and in fact might be the same thing. Following his contracts might actually be making him stronger.

I'm now very curious, where a base can be that it needs a stealth generator? Under water? In the skies?
And how can a cup of coffee compromise that? Apetech doesn't seem like something easy to break. Boil and spill onto a lens or something like that?
>Do not try to use the matter-fabricator in order to "make a bigger halberd than Armsmaster's then say to him that "mine is bigger than yours.""
Uber and Leet kind of overused that, even if it haven't been used against Armsmaster yet.
Can we request a "mine out-swiss yours" instead? I bet it will be fun to see!

The base could be just hiding among the buildings? With stranger-tech to make it so that it looks just like the rest. Though, due to the size of the Celestial Forge, I think their base being in the skies is the most plausible theory yet.
Glory Girl and any fliers out there, mind doing a flyby in the skies for a bit?
Also, @twoplustwoisfish, I assume that it was in the spirit of the rule that NO sexual aids are allowed to be asked of the tinkers.

I love how no one even comments on this and I was only half joking about staring into the abyss.
Me thinks Dadpeiron should not let his children look into potential cognito hazards even if they aren't readily apparent as such. Trying to make sense of metaphysics is a challenge and a half, working that out for an omniversal level scale is an exercise in frustration and insanity.

@Wharf_Worker, based on the context, either it's an inside joke that made its way through the screening process (I assume there was one) or Fleet legitimately sees Apeiron as a father figure.
Not to mention...it seems that he is a single dad.
Cue the squealing of multitudes of fangirls and lonely housewives at the fact that the most badass and handsome cape is a competent single dad whose children love him.
Family-chart maybe?

If the cause of the post was Fleet seeing Apeiron as a father figure I very much doubt he would have referred to Apeiron as a Dadperion in this post. As I understand Fleet is an author of that line. More likely it was meant to highlight some issue between Survey(OP) and Aperion.
There is not enough context at all. But with how Apeiron 'hovers' over Undersiders, it might have easily meant that Survey did not got something, because Apeiron is caring for those 'kids'. As result: Dadpeiron passed you over. Likely our goddess did not get some form of romantical attention, based on the line above that.
Of course it also might have meant that Survey sees Apeiron as a parental figure and seeks approval, but got sidelined because of certain villainous girlfriend getting a shiny new carapace. It might mean that Apeiron sees Survey as someone to care for, but not touch, despite Survey's wishes. Or it was simply a reference to Apeiron's overall attitude towards his team with Survey not getting something the team got.

Look at 24. It seems like Apeiron is a workaholic? It's cute to see his teammates be so worried for him. On the other hand, that's probably the reason why "3 day old" tech is a thing.
...The forcing part is concerning, however.

Do you think they're meaning it like forcing him through actual force or through social pressure? You can sort of read it either way but the implications are terrorfying.
But hey at least he had someone to check over his work for him, and I think Matrix his fellow Tinker(?) could help him from accidentally blowing up the city.

There was no way this could result in something bad happening. Not like Fleet and his damnable Road.
