Brockton's Celestial Forge (Worm/Jumpchain)

As the others mentioned, it's Europa and the eezo should've made things very obvious that it was space travel. Funny thing - you only need a hundred kilos of eezo to make something spaceworthy, so you can only imagine what kind of absurdly massive spacecraft Aisha has in mind to need fifty tons of it. In Mass Effect, that amount would easily be the kind they would be a planetary budget...
Maybe it's just me, but I'd find it entertaining if someone got some of these versions of unobtainium mixed up... Say, they thought they'd got Element Zero, and in fact they'd got handwavium...

Even more fun? If their spacedrive still worked...

(BTW - I'm pretty sure Ezzo isn't (stabalised) Neutronium. I really don't know what it is.)

Maybe she decided to bring Brockton Bay along for the ride.

Hmm. Pretty sure she'd need to use something like a Spindizzy drive for that... (There's a good reason those novels are called 'Cities in Flight'...)

Some sort of exotic, probably non-baryonic, atom-equivalent (possibly smart-matter/picotech) made out of exotic particles; neutrons, and other conventional nucleons, are probably not involved at all.
The stuff is suspiciously stable...

I vaguelly recall someone saying it got energy by (controlled/localised) 'collapse of the false vacuum'. If that's in fact the case, it's more than a little terrifyng...

I think that that would produce localized spacetime operating under different physical laws which would then require energy to modify back to standard or else have it spread throughout the universes spacetime at light speed releasing energy as it went. I'm not sure how one would go about disposing of depleted spacetime.

Crystallise it and sell it to the next sucker to use in their engine/base their entire culture around…
 
A thought came to my head
Joe can manipulate memories
Is he able to restore them too?

If you are thinking about case 53, Joe know he shouldn't try to restore their memories due to his passenger warning.

He even said so to Weld.

Am I the only one who thinks Armsmaster is nowhere near as enlightened and humbled as he's pretending to be?

Half the interlude is taking shots at Piggot and enjoying her downfall (including staying on the sidelines to let her eat more crap for the both of them) while also pretending to be above it now.

The above is just one example. Oh, I'm totally doing the right thing for the right reasons. That conveniently also helps my PR while leaving Piggot with the problems.

Cut the guy some slack. It's not like he's been able to do more (he's injured)... and honestly Piggot deserve everthing they are sending her way.
 
You know... Aisha should set herself up as 'Isekai Girl', having a power that lets people recall a more pleasant life in another world, before they were 'reincarnated' (born) on Earth Bet. I'm sure the Celestial Forge could help her fake that up, somehow.

That would allow her to give people vague memories of another world, with clearer memories of useful skills, like science, engineering, medicine, law, all stuff that might open up new life opportunities for them. Of course, she (allegedly) has to be careful, because it strains her, so she can't do it, too much.

Why? Someone who gives people new skills and memories (and benefits to some extent from this themselves), couldn't be the Stranger cape, Lethe, could they?
 
Can Joe summon servants?

With his growing abilities, he's not far off from creating a pseudo-Holy Grail or that device Chaldea has to summon them

He and the cat should get a servant once he rolls the fate extra perk and and short of having a simulacrum of a servant from their history on the blades Emiya projects if he's summoned from would probably be the closest to the any actual servant he could have.

Not how it works when that perk is rolled Tybalt becomes a servant with a full budget in the servant builder.

For the summoning servant in general it has been said in wog Joe could make a grail for it but it would be a lot of research and work and Joe wouldn't be keen on the morality of it involving the Homunculus core.
 
Why ? The member of the forge already outstrip servants in power.

Hell, Joe himself IS a servant.
Pretty sure Joe could build servants, and set them up so they could be summoned. Several different ways. Including strange Isakai stuff. I'm... unclear why he might want to, though.

Genuinely not being sarcastic when I say that I hope we get to see him leave the workshop before the end of the year. I left the thread for a good six months or so and he's not left a single time. Everything just feels like it's slowing down, and I'm not really sure why. Out of curiosity I did some idle note-taking in chapter 92 and of the 12k words in the chapter, around 2200 (nearly 20% of the entire chapter) is entirely related to a throwaway perk that gave him a Sabaton song.

I miss the earlier chapters where he actually went around talking to people, to be honest. As it stands he's basically spent the last year in the workshop.
 

In 13H (time of my post)

Should happen very soon. We have one interlude (or will it be a prelude ?) before we get back to Joe.

And then the next item on the agenda is Garment auction, Bakuda's code cracking and the S9 spanking. All of those should lead to Joe hauling his (sexy) ass out of his workshop.

But yeah, pacing. A poor horse we've beaten to death.

Hmmm, Does having a passenger equate to making a contract with them to have powers?

Nah, Kyubey is at least nice enough to ask for consent before pushing trauma power on you. Hence contract. Leonine contract (and faustian rebellion), but contract none the less.

The passengers are push trauma powers first, ask consent never. That's not even a contract, that's just parasitic actions.
