Brockton's Celestial Forge (Worm/Jumpchain)

Tetra now has a human form, more evidence for the "Apeiron fixing Case 53s" theories.
Lol, yeah. In everyone else's POV, Tetra just made a jump from nonverbal, contact-lethal animal to verbal nonstandard human body that can be safely touched. Most C53s would literally kill and maim for those kind of adjustments, three quality of life solutions in one patch. Let alone all the other improvements.

Far from the actual reality of things, but we've seen over and over that Earth-Bet natives are rather clingy with their preconceptions.

Really though, I'm hoping that we get to see Tetra flex for the S9 stomp or next EB fight. The amount of buffs that just got stacked on top of her innate life fiber bullshit is going to make her next excursion something out of Dragon Ball.
 
94.1 Interlude Aisha

...

The outfit was mostly black with red highlights. In terms of coverage… Joe's arms were at least fully concealed. The fabric extended from his gloves, up his arms, over his shoulder and finished in a high collar. Tetra glowing and very animated eyes sat on the lapels. It was just that the lapels didn't sit on anything.

Joe's entire chest was exposed. Black fabric extended down his back with portions crossing over to connect to his pants at the hips. His really tight pants that sat about as low as possible without being indecent. They also had three angular cutouts on the outside of his thighs, exposing even more skin, though the design looked more like vents than anything else. The outfit concluded with a pair of chunky heeled motorcycle boots on his feet.

The red highlights of the outfit were glowing brightly in the aftermath of the transformation. She could see the same effect on his hair, which had gotten spikier and sported multiple red strands rather than the single lock he'd had since Friday morning. The entire outfit looked like someone had decided to apply the logic of female video game armor to biker gear, but somehow it worked. Trust the combined design powers of Joe and Garment to allow someone to stand half naked in a tight red and black costume and somehow looked badass instead of ridiculous.

...

Suddenly that "stupid sexy Apeiron" meme from the Media section needs updating ... and Bakuda will need a pacemaker if she sees it; whether because she'll overload from the sexy, be furious she's overloading from the sexy, or rage that she got / will get punted again by a man wearing half of nothing no matter how good it looks --- or possibly all 3 --- is unknown at this time.

Meanwhile some C53 in a permanent exotic physics breaker state is probably lamenting that even Apeiron couldn't make her safe to touch.
 
Man even absent the beautifying and stylish powers that Kamui form sounds kinda cool.

Although thinking about the case 53 theory mistakes people might make, seeing the progression of Joe's other form one might conclude that not only can Joe make C53s look more human he can also exaggerate or emphasise the extreme power expression but slot it behind a changer or breaker state.

But anyways that was a really cool chapter and I hope we get to see Aisha practicing her painting skills.
 
Aisha grew up fast, yo. From impulsive bratty tween to… whatever this is in basically a week, real-time. Hope she keeps it up because this is pretty much the best version of her I've seen.

In other news… can we get some perspective on how Apeiron is planning to present the absolute beat-down he's about to deliver to the S9 to the world? Because if nothing else, claiming the bounties on Jack and anyone else that they actually kill will get him a chance to talk to the protectorate that they can't deny.
Also, I really hope Survey has a media management plan in place for when Piggot tries to turn "Apeiron removes the threat of the S9!" into "Apeiron murdered the S9 in their sleep! Are you next?"

Plus, she had every thinker on the planet shitting themselves in fear whenever she wanted to skip a line or avoid an annoying person on the street.

AISHA QUESTION:
Given the emphasis on anti-Simurgh protection, how protected is Aisha's mind?

Does Psi-Operative conditioning automatically include Occlumency mental shields?

I ask because I was wondering if E88's Victor wants to seek out Lethe and steal a second dose of Alchemy knowledge. There's no way Victor hasn't become obsessed with Lethe, which is ironic as trying hunt down a S-rank Stranger with global-wide memory effects is an exercise in futility.

Thanks for the chapter Lord.

I love how Aisha is basically the Head of the "Is this Normal" department of the Celestial Forge.

I would love to see how other people would react if somehow a painting of the members of the Celestial Forge get leaked.

In their super secret hideout, that has a forest a beach and a volcano, or maybe the computer world. With it looking like a university.

Psi-Ops conditioning should give access to the Solace ability from XCom 2, which is more or less an "Anti-Master" field that prevents things from mentally influencing you directly. Thing's like Survey being beautiful in Cape mode would still get through, but if someone like Mama Mathers or Jacobine Swiper were trying to do their shit on you, you'd be protected.
 
However, there are actually a couple of perks that are super likely. As it stands, 3 constellations only have 1 perk left.
When did he roll the kinesis/stasis (Deadspace) toolkit?
As an aside: I was gonna ask about the gravity tech as well, but the Dead Space wiki is a mess and does not have the article in question on it - it's description is impressive though, "manipulating the graviton like the electron [of electricity]." There was an in game article on it in Dead Space 2, approximate to where you first pick up the stasis module.

I dont think that Dead Space is on the list.

For reasons I have no idea about. May be because there were perk(s) that just straight up give you/allow you to build Marker?

No, I've gone over that document multiple times - the only perk directly relating to the Markers themselves only deactivates nearby undead, and it wasn't in Forge V1 anyways.
 
A nice little transition chapter, and I'm very happy everything went well with Tetra, but now we focus on the next important thing:



Alright, folks! Get your bets in! With a large 800-point roll coming in hot next chapter, what are some rolls you think/hope are going to pop up? I'm hoping for either Truth or Erudition myself. Would love to see Joe knocking on the door or seeing the reactions to having a new spaceship to play with!
Personally I'm hopping for Truth. Not just because of Alchemy but also synergies. Because guess what Truth is "I am One. I am All. Or perhaps the World, or The Universe..." etc etc. Aka He's basically the Akashic Records/the Root. True Magic anyone?

Its almost guarantied that Joe will remember living 10 years in FMA world, to balance whole losing a limb price not sticking because perk acquired post-jump.
No way it works for getting True Magic tho.
BTW True Magic perk (not in the any version of the Forge) cost whopping 1000CP and only gets you novice skill (but guarantied to work in any multiverse).
