I think it is more likely to be a psychic effect, so she will end up making a Plasmid to do it. We had (part of) a whole discussion on it.
Arc 3: Home Rick-provement: Amortycan Grickfitti.

Summer slowly woke up due to the current. The strange green fluid that… She had been floating in? It was draining away and a harness she didn't remember putting on was holding her up.
At least this mess seemed to not stick or stain anything. Not that it mattered THAT much, this outfit was a mess and unsalvageable BEFORE it began melting into her skin.
Sluggishly, she looked at her… Perfectly fine hands. Hell, old marks and scars and stuff were fixed too, AND her nails looked fabulous! Almost like they were recently through a mani-pedi!
Grandpa really COULD do anything!
Then the world was warm hugs. "Oh baby! I was so WORRIED about you two!"
Her mom pulled back, carefully helping her step out of the strange device. "Dad said you will be hungry and a bit out of it mentally for another hour or so, but you are fully healed and mostly back to normal."
Summer stumbled slightly. Mostly? No, more important. "Is Morty alright?" The melting flesh, the burned bones, the frantic whimpers and tears…
Mom carefully led her to a table she didn't remember, helping her into a chair. "He's out of danger, but Dad wants to make sure there isn't any mental damage before letting him out of his healing pod."
Huh. She blinked at an odd sight of a neighbor working on another big mechanical tube thing over in the corner. "Ms. Bellum? What are YOU doing here!?"
Mom paused as Ms. Bellum turned around… Oh. Damn. The sexier-than-remembered 'old' woman blinked. "Ms. Bellum?"
Mom also looked shocked. "Oh my… You know Dad, you DO look like that athletic older woman two blocks over near the bus station. Better health and amazing hair, but… Huh."
Wait. "Dad? You mean she is Grandpa!?"
Mom pushed some amazing smelling cheddar cheese eggs and caramelized peaches onto her plate. "Basically, our Grandpa… Didn't make it out of the explosion. This version of Dad saw we were in trouble and came to save us."
The draw of food helped her refocus. "Huh. Well, turning into that onion was still stranger. Thanks Grandpa, for fixing me and helping Morty."
An unusually warm smile crossed her Grandpa's face. "Anytime sweetie. Just make sure to eat a lot, you had to recover from some pretty heavy injuries and need the calories."
Considering how hard it was to eat while being treated? Oh yeah!
She dug into the feast of food, pulling bacon and the gravy closer for round two once this dish was clean.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Sarah sighed. THERE was the stupid name drawback. 'Sarah Bellum.' Just lovely. A pun.
Adam was snickering. <<Honestly it's less offensive than being Sarah BoobMonster or something. Isn't this drawback based on that guy, Principle Vagina? You could have been Sarah DickFarter or worse.>>
She was NOT going to encourage more pun related conversation. "Right, while Summer gets some food into her we need to go over your conversation with Morty Beth. Here's the words I need you to say while he is hooked up to my sensors."
Little Beth blinked as she examined the word phrases. "Analysis Mode? Administrative Lockdown? What ARE these things?"
Cheat codes for lazy Ricks to 'fix' Mortys in the field without consequences. "Some are embedded codes to deactivate or modify decoy families or clones, others are implanted commands to ensure proper medical care, a few are protective measures against mental hazards that we could run into while exploring. Even I had those before I fixed myself."
And not just because she was a mutated clone. MOST Ricks had some triggers set up to ensure memory deadening and other messed up methods to handle sadness without actually addressing the real issues.
Cleaning those out had been a bitch AND emotionally draining. "Not all of these will apply, and none of them are able to activate from the way I wrote the list, but just to be safe? Only read the words there in that order. My scanners will detect if those restrictions and alterations are applied to our Morty and I can disable them safely."
More like do minor brain surgery and use Plasmids to repair the damage. Sigh. Without 'Enhance Self' this would be SO much harder.
As Beth went to talk to the half awake Morty, Sarah sat near Summer. "So champ, here's the plan for today! Because this house isn't built for the damaging environment we are currently enduring, I'm going to have to replace this place with a new setup. Something safe and able to give all of us time to recover and make sure there are no long term side effects."
The girl rolled her eyes even as she drank deep of her orange juice. "Just give me more closet space this time. LAST time when the house blew up you promised to help out and forgot entirely during the rebuild."
More like that Rick probably didn't bother to modify the default repair module settings. "Nothing else? I can make your room bigger, change your personal bathroom layout, add a minor ship dock for your ride…"
Her eyes lit up! "Oh my god! I get my OWN ship!? I've had my learner's permit FOREVER and Mom never has time to let me borrow the car!"
Sarah chuckled as she pushed the bagels and cheese spreads closer to the ravenous child. "All the family members will have a basic ship, for emergencies like this where escape is needed. I'm also going to be adding some emergency portal connections in the basement to mostly safe destinations if the dimension ever comes under risk."
And THERE was the pout. "So I can't take joy rides or anything? Lame."
Sarah chuckled. "Oh come on Summer! How often do I follow the rules to begin with? That's just what I told your mom so she won't argue so much about me installing the thing." Her eyes narrowed. "That said, if your ship leaves orbit it WILL be considered an emergency and you WILL be tracked so we can recover you later. A bit of planetary flight and fun is one thing, but there is some real danger out there that can cause problems before I could get involved."
She gulped. "Ah. I understand Grandpa."
Good girl. "That's my grandkid! Now, just before waking up I made a few alterations for your own safety."
And Summer's eyes got suspicious RIGHT quick. "You didn't make me able to turn into a car like Morty, did you? Or something equally as odd?"
Shit, forgot about that. And it wasn't really a car, more a species transformation into a creature that heavily RESEMBLED earth vehicles… Damn it Rick had been badly drunk that day. "No. Nothing like that."
A display popped up with her treatment features. "As part of your recovery, I ensured that you are stronger mentally, that your body will treat any attempts to alter or change itself as methods to improve yourself rather than allow injury or mutations, and that in general you are stronger, more resilient, and hopefully better able to avoid danger."
She pointed at her chest. "However, I DID include a device synced to your mind. Say or think 'menu' while wishing to see your hologram."
Summer seemed… More than a bit overwhelmed. "Uh… Menu?" Nothing happened. "Menu." THAT time her eyes flashed as false data was fed to her mind directly, creating the illusion of holographic displays. Good.
Sarah grinned! "Right, this is sort of like your new phone, messaging device, hacking equipment, and emergency beacon and portal targeting designator. If you are hurt it is able to apply basic medical treatment, if kidnapped we can find you, and if trapped it is able to put you in a coma like state and preserve you until we get you out without forcing you to spend eternity trapped somewhere. And other stuff."
Since only Sarah will be leaving this Jump, these command nodes could really take advantage of some of the more strange tech features available in this reality. "It also has a small storage space, only a few dozen meters or so cubed, some of which is reserved for storing your body during an emergency after you are put into a medical stasis and…"
She waved her off. "Yeah yeah, Grandpa. It's a phone, I totally get it. Oh, I can make the windows visible to other people?"
And now hundreds of virtual panels were flashing and closing as his brilliant grandkid explored the help options, all the menu sub categories, had several pages open to the attached database Adam had set up, a holographic keyboard and mouse, and more. Rock music began thumping in the background, which made little Beth roll her eyes in the corner before Sarah limited the sound damping field around the breakfast table.
Damn, that was quick.
She frowned. "How come I can't get a signal? And the internet seems to be down, even if I can still get interdimensional cable."
Sarah winced. Nope, not addressing that right now. "Some local technical issues. How about we just hook you up to a nearly one way feed from other dimensions for THEIR internet? Easy enough to have it translated automatically and set up a multidimensional search engine."
She grinned! "Thanks Grandpa! Even if I can't post comments or whatever, at least I can watch cat videos or something until stuff gets fixed!"
Yeah, the poor kid clearly didn't know how big the followup attack on this planet had been. "After we get Morty awake, the four of us are going to be finishing the design for a new house… So start thinking about cool features you want, alright kiddo?"
Summer waved him off. "Yeah yeah, I got this." She paused, looking at her nails. And pulling her hair forward, seeing how it wasn't shriveled and burnt away anymore. "And… Thanks for coming home Grandpa."
Always. "Anytime, sweetie."
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Morty blinked… And was… The impact? No, something… A failsafe?
It was all confusing. And someone was talking?
"...nd Glorf33. Subject Decon Testing Mode Alpha. Open Binary Access Hatch. Deflect Mental Construct. Organ Access Modules 03. Suspend Primary Simulation. Convert Subject State: Test. Flood Cognizant…"
Oh. Was that Mom? Wasn't he supposed to warn her about something?
"...ble Back Indexing. Forward Indention Index Subtables. Break Concealment Zones 4. Conspire Codes: 3884. Destabilize Encoding Matrix Subroutines 4 and 8. Enable Yongf Mode. Attend Subject, Rise for your Master…Really? What the hell Dad. Sigh. Onto the next page."
If she was here, then he must have told her. If ANY of them were still alive, he had made it in time.
"...trapolate Every Process. By my Ricks Combined… Bullshit. How many of these stupid phrases are from old television shows? Hey Sarah, are these even real!?"
"Hopefully not, that's why we are checking."
Was that Ms. Bellum? Maybe the emergency destructive cascade HADN'T gone off!
With a peaceful mind, he fell back into half slumber as his mother's voice continued a rambling but comforting litany of random words and mild complaints about something or other.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Thankfully, after a bathroom break, Summer seemed more than happy to stay with her Mom and Morty while they ensured the boy wasn't mentally compromised. 'Enhance Self' would have eventually fixed those issues ANYWAY, but it was better and emotionally easier to do it now rather than let mental scars tear into place without warning.
For now though. "Right, what's the plan?"
Adam hummed, still examining the design for a new, NOT contaminated home to move the kids over to instead of this mess. <<Grab a psionic sample from your kids and grandkids.>>
Oh, for some customised psionic crystal creation? Expensive for most Ricks, but Sarah had both the Warehouse, Adam, AND lots of toxic material outside to build with. Score!
Easy enough to get started too. "Hey Beth, I know Morty isn't fully recovered yet but could you drink that 'Enhance Self' Tonic I gave you earlier anyway? I'm going to need an hour or two for your psionic field to stabilize before I can collect a recording."
Beth paused. "Oh, that? Yeah, I drank that while you were still looting the lab."
Wait, WHAT!? "But! I hadn't… What if it had been something dangerous! Don't… Don't just trust random stuff a Rick gives you!"
The fond exasperation paused her rant. "Dad, you earned my trust by showing up to help. By the care you showed my children, that you normally only seemed to tolerate at best. That was more than enough."
She looked away, swigging from her flask out of habit. "Yeah well… Thanks, honey." Psionic scans recorded and sent.
Adam hummed. <<Seed psionic crystal formations will be established in three minutes, accelerated growth stabilized in an hour, reserves built up around a half hour after that.>>
So they would have personalized psionic crystal shards for construction after less than two hours? Damn that was quality shit. "Right, what about mine?"
Data streamed. The glowing blue crystals were already stockpiling high. <<As soon as we [[Harvested]] the first psionic fragment, I saw it was basically a psionic form of Materia. It was added to the material generation systems within minutes… Just didn't have any stable psionic field frameworks from the family to start THEIR variations yet.>>
Seeing confusion, she grinned at her family. "My personal system is WAY beyond what most Ricks have to work with. I can talk to him directly and he works with me like a partner, it's how I was able to escape the… Situation… From before I came here."
Summer blinked. "Like how your car can sass and stuff?"
Uh. "Maybe. One second."
[[Harvest.]]
Yep, there was a mind in there. In that crappy body, built from near garbage. Yeah, Sarah could do better than that. "Apparently, yes. I'm building her a MUCH better body though… In fact, she's going to be our new home. No reason to force our future house to blow up with planets when things go wrong, if the whole place can just leave WITH us."
Adam hummed. <<Storing her away for now, having 'Research' design some software patches to secure some built in security flaws, enhance her mental stability, and improve her ability to interface with materials and systems remotely.>>
Sarah began using visible holograms from her own chest portal orb/command node. "An outer layer of Silicon Bronze because of it's non-magnetic and corrosive resistant properties, yet still able to easily conduct heat… A few converters to ensure that heat doesn't reach levels that will damage the hull… Barriers to prevent heat being leached from the lower hull…"
The defensive fields would ensure the needed aerodynamic shapes during flight, so no need to require this new 'spaceship' to follow standard conventions. "Seven thorium orbs for basic power, a few material converters and energy to mass transformers for raw material collection. Some material synthesisers and automated construction factories… Wait, no. Better have a protective layer here, along with some signal diffusers and false reaction emitters."
Sarah reshaped it so the one directional heat transfer would get converted into power, as would vibrations like sound or impact. That energy would be fed through some explosive ablative capacitors, ones that would easily pop off if overloaded and prevent surges of power from making it within the Beryllium Copper shell (NOTHING would be magnetic if she could avoid it), a layer of impact absorbing fluid cells and dispersal material, ANOTHER protective shell of reinforced materials… And there we go!
She grinned. "Right, a plant farm orb and a backup, to automatically grow and harvest food for our needs… Hmm. Some automated repair robots and farmer bots with mental restrictions to prevent the creation of life and I could easily set up some automated animal and plant/animal hybrid farms…"
It would be a small box like the one for the circuit breakers. A grid of orbs, providing power, mass, plant matter, ingredients. "It would require around a year to reach stable production rates, and would only power, feed, and provide drinkable water for around two planets around the size of Earth with this design… Not sure how much of the generated material would be used, I personally use so much of the rare and exotic stuff that it throws all the numbers off."
Right, robotic design would take up a month or so before the two farm orb designs could be finished and put into production. "I can probably make a few hundred of these boxes and store them somewhere with accelerated time to get them fully functional… Too bad I can't risk that level of plan acceleration for my personal projects, but the dangers of infinite consumption nanomachines that endeavour to reach optimum efficiency is too tricky to try."
When Rick accessed one of the accelerated worlds, it had life spawn nearly without warning… Giving an unvouched species access to one of THESE orbs? No.
Sarah was pulled from her thoughts half way through designing the internal ship design full of automation and lots of light generating plants and environmentally purifying moss subspecies when her daughter tapped something. "It's lovely Dad, but… It's not home."
Beth moved her schematic closer to the ship, using her daughter's command node holograms. Apparently Summer found out how to allow others to interact with her system with a guest account… Kids and electronics, seriously.
Her little Beth pointed at her design. "I changed my room a bit, gave Morty and Summer more space, and I approve of the escape space vehicles… But I still want it to look like home. Not just… A defensive war machine like that."
Sarah blinked. "I'm… what? No, your design is perfect! I have no problem with it. No, my work isn't supposed to be your house."
Morty was still being treated, but both Beth and Summer blinked. ""What?""
She nodded, expanding the schematic. "All this is going to be underground. A safety bunker and supply resource so that your home won't need local water, electricity, clean air, garbage disposal methods, sewage lines, and so forth."
Sarah pulled up more data. "Not every dimension is safe for us to interact with, and I don't want to risk some strange additive to the local water supply or something, like how some Earth's add fluoride or Korkle jam to their waters. Sure, the locals are used to it… But even if both of the kids can safely drink near anything now after my treatments, I want you to be able to trust the home's water and food supply without issue."
Back to the new ship. "This design can harvest material from below to dig into the ground, land the house there, and ensure any intercepted power, water, sewage, gas, and other pipes and lines are marked, connected to, and monitored. It will cause an outage when we land, and certainly not work when we LEAVE, but it SHOULD ensure no dips or spikes in the local resource network when our home moves about."
Sarah continued utilizing the massive town size structure. "I'm using some psionic shenanigans, the same tricks that allow me to hide stupid amounts of mechanical weaponry and tools inside my fairly thin arms and body, to compress this space down to the footprint of our home when we land somewhere. But on worlds like this one? Where there ARE no neighbors and we have lots of space to work with? Yeah."
The scale showed Beth and the kids next to the enormous lower hull. "THAT mess will be able to safely land in acid, plasma, liquid or solidified gas near absolute zero, a stellar corona, even on Canadian soil without issue! And that is BEFORE the protective fields and anti-portal shimmer and so on and so forth. With the material redirection grid coating this mess, at full defensive defcon the house would laugh off most situations."
The top metal plates retracted, showing Beth's new home rising up and the panels flipping over to show a perfectly mowed lawn with biologically enhanced grass. "All the comforts and history of home, but it can be safely packed away and taken with us when needed!"
Summer frowned. "I didn't get ALL of that, but what was that about there being no neighbors?"
Fuck. "Basically, once we are in space with the house it can fully expand without damaging nearby property." The non-existent nearby property.
Beth gave her a knowing eye roll. So she was bad at the emotional stuff! How the hell was she supposed to tell the child that most of the world was gone!?
Thankfully, the woman was a genius. "Summer sweetie, you know how dangerous home is becoming even BEFORE those people started trying to hunt down your Grandpa and Morty. Sarah here helped us move the home to a temporary planet with lots of valuable but dangerous material outside so we can get everything fixed up and healed before finding a new place to live."
Damn, his daughter was a genius.
Summer grumbled. "Fine, I guess. Bruce Chutback wasn't exactly boyfriend material in the end anyway and it was hard to keep my friends close when those aliens blew up the football field. You know what? Fine!"
She stood tall! "I'm going to go to RULE high school this time! A new world, a new Summer! Boo-yah!"
Sarah winced. "Ah. School. Really not worth it."
Beth sighed, moving the schematics she was examining off to the side. "Dad, we talked about this."
She waved it off. "No, no, I mean... How do I put this." Don't mention that most Ricks don't think schooling is worth it because the kids die so often and have to be replaced. "Would you agree that even at the top of their fields, your children won't learn about galactic history? Or truely advanced material? Most Earth's barely reach the moon, and half the time it is due to me leaving my notes somewhere when high or passed out."
She took a cleansing breath and huffed from her nose. "Dad."
Sarah held her hands up! "I'm not saying don't let the kids socialize or anything! I… Well, even if the topics WERE important to their futures, I don't trust public school systems to teach to the highest levels. It gets worse based on location and ethnicity and species bias and a dozen other things. Not to mention some classes like language and history can be vastly different from dimension to dimension."
Her daughter paused… And sighed. "And what would you suggest? Don't think I missed you taking a sip from your flask earlier. I won't accept one of those 'brilliant' ideas you sometimes find at the bottom of one."
Ohh, snarky! Heh. "No, this isn't my normal mind warping juice. I improved my body to easily handle alcohol and other stimulants in a non-damaging and mentally stable way… This stuff is strictly for taste now." Which was MUCH better with never having hangovers again.
Beth blinked. "Wait, really? Give me that."
The woman sniffed the drink. "Huh." And took a sip. "Damn, that is amazing!"
Because Adam is a champ and picked it since Beth was nearby. "Homemade Sangria. A red wine mixed with orange juice, brandy, some granulated sugar to take the edge off, some apple, orange, blueberries and strawberries… And some seltzer."
He handed her a glass and she poured more liquid into the thing than the flask should be able to hold. "Huh. And it comes out chilled too?"
His daughter took a swig. "No really, I may need some of this for uh. Future comparisons. To other drinks you may or may not be having."
Seeing young Summer pout Sarah grinned and filled a separate glass. "Your mom probably won't let you have the real stuff until you are older than seventeen, but try some Virgin Cranberry Basil Sangria. Still pretty tasty."
His granddaughter snagged the chilled glass… And froze, before trying to look calm and reserved. "Well, I suppose I should TRY a bit, if just to spare your feelings Grandpa."
Sarah couldn't get a word in before Summer was drinking it down though. "Oh… Yeah, this makes lemonade seem pretty pathetic. Can I get one of those special flasks, but just for stuff like this?"
Huh? Sure, no problem. <Adam, one of the non-alcoholic prototypes? Thanks.> "Here you go."
Right! "So my plan here…"
Beth was distracted by how Adam kept changing the alcoholic drinks from the flask as she refilled the thing, ensuring each new flavor complimented the last one and the alcoholic quality and content and varieties worked seamlessly through the process.
Well. Uh. "My plan…"
Summer was crunching on the ice in her drink refill, while Morty was half asleep as his body was being enhanced by the Tonics.
So no one was really paying attention.
Beth also MIGHT be drinking a bit heavily, as the only one besides Sarah to know that everyone else here had actually died rather than this world being a new planet entirely. Crud.
Oh well. "I'll bring it up later. Maybe we should all get some sleep." And when Beth finally was put in her bed, Sarah could easily embed her command node for personal use. And apply the other Tonics, since that would be easy enough to do and keep her little girl safe.
As for the school replacement plan, Sarah personally thought the kids would be alright educationally with a few Tonics containing technical data covering topics being collected by Adam… Though she would probably have to wait until Beth woke up to get permission first. Best be safe.
Her daughter SHOULD be fine with it though, right? After all, the doses would only contain modified memories with all sorts of basic information that would help a lot in any school system, nothing extreme!
Some mathematics, simple formulas, critical thinking skills, a few mental tricks for memorization of rote facts which should come in handy... Especially since half the school classes that Sarah knew about only BOTHERED with fact memorization most of the time.
Plus, why not add a few extras?
Maybe a bunch of engineering and biological data. And some stuff about psionics and… A few more odds and ends. Some portal science, a few memories about material sciences… Uh. A few basic dimensional databases about some species and customs and a bunch of language translation matrices.
Yeah, it should be fine.
She'd bring it up again after Beth woke up sober with her new enhancements and equipment, and after Summer crashed into slumber from this oncoming sugar high.
Thank GOODNESS 'Enhance Self' would prevent dehydration and blood sugar issues, or these women would be REALLY cranky later!
At least this mess seemed to not stick or stain anything. Not that it mattered THAT much, this outfit was a mess and unsalvageable BEFORE it began melting into her skin.
Sluggishly, she looked at her… Perfectly fine hands. Hell, old marks and scars and stuff were fixed too, AND her nails looked fabulous! Almost like they were recently through a mani-pedi!
Grandpa really COULD do anything!
Then the world was warm hugs. "Oh baby! I was so WORRIED about you two!"
Her mom pulled back, carefully helping her step out of the strange device. "Dad said you will be hungry and a bit out of it mentally for another hour or so, but you are fully healed and mostly back to normal."
Summer stumbled slightly. Mostly? No, more important. "Is Morty alright?" The melting flesh, the burned bones, the frantic whimpers and tears…
Mom carefully led her to a table she didn't remember, helping her into a chair. "He's out of danger, but Dad wants to make sure there isn't any mental damage before letting him out of his healing pod."
Huh. She blinked at an odd sight of a neighbor working on another big mechanical tube thing over in the corner. "Ms. Bellum? What are YOU doing here!?"
Mom paused as Ms. Bellum turned around… Oh. Damn. The sexier-than-remembered 'old' woman blinked. "Ms. Bellum?"
Mom also looked shocked. "Oh my… You know Dad, you DO look like that athletic older woman two blocks over near the bus station. Better health and amazing hair, but… Huh."
Wait. "Dad? You mean she is Grandpa!?"

Summer waved him off. "Yeah yeah, I got this." She paused, looking at her nails. And pulling her hair forward, seeing how it wasn't shriveled and burnt away anymore. "And… Thanks for coming home Grandpa."
Always. "Anytime, sweetie."
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Morty blinked… And was… The impact? No, something… A failsafe?
It was all confusing. And someone was talking?
"...nd Glorf33. Subject Decon Testing Mode Alpha. Open Binary Access Hatch. Deflect Mental Construct. Organ Access Modules 03. Suspend Primary Simulation. Convert Subject State: Test. Flood Cognizant…"
Oh. Was that Mom? Wasn't he supposed to warn her about something?
"...ble Back Indexing. Forward Indention Index Subtables. Break Concealment Zones 4. Conspire Codes: 3884. Destabilize Encoding Matrix Subroutines 4 and 8. Enable Yongf Mode. Attend Subject, Rise for your Master…Really? What the hell Dad. Sigh. Onto the next page."
If she was here, then he must have told her. If ANY of them were still alive, he had made it in time.
"...trapolate Every Process. By my Ricks Combined… Bullshit. How many of these stupid phrases are from old television shows? Hey Sarah, are these even real!?"
"Hopefully not, that's why we are checking."
Was that Ms. Bellum? Maybe the emergency destructive cascade HADN'T gone off!
With a peaceful mind, he fell back into half slumber as his mother's voice continued a rambling but comforting litany of random words and mild complaints about something or other.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Thankfully, after a bathroom break, Summer seemed more than happy to stay with her Mom and Morty while they ensured the boy wasn't mentally compromised. 'Enhance Self' would have eventually fixed those issues ANYWAY, but it was better and emotionally easier to do it now rather than let mental scars tear into place without warning.
For now though. "Right, what's the plan?"
Adam hummed, still examining the design for a new, NOT contaminated home to move the kids over to instead of this mess. <<Grab a psionic sample from your kids and grandkids.>>
Oh, for some customised psionic crystal creation? Expensive for most Ricks, but Sarah had both the Warehouse, Adam, AND lots of toxic material outside to build with. Score!
Easy enough to get started too. "Hey Beth, I know Morty isn't fully recovered yet but could you drink that 'Enhance Self' Tonic I gave you earlier anyway? I'm going to need an hour or two for your psionic field to stabilize before I can collect a recording."
Beth paused. "Oh, that? Yeah, I drank that while you were still looting the lab."
Wait, WHAT!? "But! I hadn't… What if it had been something dangerous! Don't… Don't just trust random stuff a Rick gives you!"
The fond exasperation paused her rant. "Dad, you earned my trust by showing up to help. By the care you showed my children, that you normally only seemed to tolerate at best. That was more than enough."
She looked away, swigging from her flask out of habit. "Yeah well… Thanks, honey." Psionic scans recorded and sent.
Adam hummed. <<Seed psionic crystal formations will be established in three minutes, accelerated growth stabilized in an hour, reserves built up around a half hour after that.>>
So they would have personalized psionic crystal shards for construction after less than two hours? Damn that was quality shit. "Right, what about mine?"
Data streamed. The glowing blue crystals were already stockpiling high. <<As soon as we [[Harvested]] the first psionic fragment, I saw it was basically a psionic form of Materia. It was added to the material generation systems within minutes… Just didn't have any stable psionic field frameworks from the family to start THEIR variations yet.>>
Seeing confusion, she grinned at her family. "My personal system is WAY beyond what most Ricks have to work with. I can talk to him directly and he works with me like a partner, it's how I was able to escape the… Situation… From before I came here."
Summer blinked. "Like how your car can sass and stuff?"
Uh. "Maybe. One second."
[[Harvest.]]
Yep, there was a mind in there. In that crappy body, built from near garbage. Yeah, Sarah could do better than that. "Apparently, yes. I'm building her a MUCH better body though… In fact, she's going to be our new home. No reason to force our future house to blow up with planets when things go wrong, if the whole place can just leave WITH us."
Adam hummed. <<Storing her away for now, having 'Research' design some software patches to secure some built in security flaws, enhance her mental stability, and improve her ability to interface with materials and systems remotely.>>
Sarah began using visible holograms from her own chest portal orb/command node. "An outer layer of Silicon Bronze because of it's non-magnetic and corrosive resistant properties, yet still able to easily conduct heat… A few converters to ensure that heat doesn't reach levels that will damage the hull… Barriers to prevent heat being leached from the lower hull…"
The defensive fields would ensure the needed aerodynamic shapes during flight, so no need to require this new 'spaceship' to follow standard conventions. "Seven thorium orbs for basic power, a few material converters and energy to mass transformers for raw material collection. Some material synthesisers and automated construction factories… Wait, no. Better have a protective layer here, along with some signal diffusers and false reaction emitters."
Sarah reshaped it so the one directional heat transfer would get converted into power, as would vibrations like sound or impact. That energy would be fed through some explosive ablative capacitors, ones that would easily pop off if overloaded and prevent surges of power from making it within the Beryllium Copper shell (NOTHING would be magnetic if she could avoid it), a layer of impact absorbing fluid cells and dispersal material, ANOTHER protective shell of reinforced materials… And there we go!
She grinned. "Right, a plant farm orb and a backup, to automatically grow and harvest food for our needs… Hmm. Some automated repair robots and farmer bots with mental restrictions to prevent the creation of life and I could easily set up some automated animal and plant/animal hybrid farms…"
It would be a small box like the one for the circuit breakers. A grid of orbs, providing power, mass, plant matter, ingredients. "It would require around a year to reach stable production rates, and would only power, feed, and provide drinkable water for around two planets around the size of Earth with this design… Not sure how much of the generated material would be used, I personally use so much of the rare and exotic stuff that it throws all the numbers off."
Right, robotic design would take up a month or so before the two farm orb designs could be finished and put into production. "I can probably make a few hundred of these boxes and store them somewhere with accelerated time to get them fully functional… Too bad I can't risk that level of plan acceleration for my personal projects, but the dangers of infinite consumption nanomachines that endeavour to reach optimum efficiency is too tricky to try."
When Rick accessed one of the accelerated worlds, it had life spawn nearly without warning… Giving an unvouched species access to one of THESE orbs? No.
Sarah was pulled from her thoughts half way through designing the internal ship design full of automation and lots of light generating plants and environmentally purifying moss subspecies when her daughter tapped something. "It's lovely Dad, but… It's not home."
Beth moved her schematic closer to the ship, using her daughter's command node holograms. Apparently Summer found out how to allow others to interact with her system with a guest account… Kids and electronics, seriously.
Her little Beth pointed at her design. "I changed my room a bit, gave Morty and Summer more space, and I approve of the escape space vehicles… But I still want it to look like home. Not just… A defensive war machine like that."
Sarah blinked. "I'm… what? No, your design is perfect! I have no problem with it. No, my work isn't supposed to be your house."
Morty was still being treated, but both Beth and Summer blinked. ""What?""
She nodded, expanding the schematic. "All this is going to be underground. A safety bunker and supply resource so that your home won't need local water, electricity, clean air, garbage disposal methods, sewage lines, and so forth."
Sarah pulled up more data. "Not every dimension is safe for us to interact with, and I don't want to risk some strange additive to the local water supply or something, like how some Earth's add fluoride or Korkle jam to their waters. Sure, the locals are used to it… But even if both of the kids can safely drink near anything now after my treatments, I want you to be able to trust the home's water and food supply without issue."
Back to the new ship. "This design can harvest material from below to dig into the ground, land the house there, and ensure any intercepted power, water, sewage, gas, and other pipes and lines are marked, connected to, and monitored. It will cause an outage when we land, and certainly not work when we LEAVE, but it SHOULD ensure no dips or spikes in the local resource network when our home moves about."
Sarah continued utilizing the massive town size structure. "I'm using some psionic shenanigans, the same tricks that allow me to hide stupid amounts of mechanical weaponry and tools inside my fairly thin arms and body, to compress this space down to the footprint of our home when we land somewhere. But on worlds like this one? Where there ARE no neighbors and we have lots of space to work with? Yeah."
The scale showed Beth and the kids next to the enormous lower hull. "THAT mess will be able to safely land in acid, plasma, liquid or solidified gas near absolute zero, a stellar corona, even on Canadian soil without issue! And that is BEFORE the protective fields and anti-portal shimmer and so on and so forth. With the material redirection grid coating this mess, at full defensive defcon the house would laugh off most situations."
The top metal plates retracted, showing Beth's new home rising up and the panels flipping over to show a perfectly mowed lawn with biologically enhanced grass. "All the comforts and history of home, but it can be safely packed away and taken with us when needed!"
Summer frowned. "I didn't get ALL of that, but what was that about there being no neighbors?"
Fuck. "Basically, once we are in space with the house it can fully expand without damaging nearby property." The non-existent nearby property.
Beth gave her a knowing eye roll. So she was bad at the emotional stuff! How the hell was she supposed to tell the child that most of the world was gone!?
Thankfully, the woman was a genius. "Summer sweetie, you know how dangerous home is becoming even BEFORE those people started trying to hunt down your Grandpa and Morty. Sarah here helped us move the home to a temporary planet with lots of valuable but dangerous material outside so we can get everything fixed up and healed before finding a new place to live."
Damn, his daughter was a genius.
Summer grumbled. "Fine, I guess. Bruce Chutback wasn't exactly boyfriend material in the end anyway and it was hard to keep my friends close when those aliens blew up the football field. You know what? Fine!"
She stood tall! "I'm going to go to RULE high school this time! A new world, a new Summer! Boo-yah!"
Sarah winced. "Ah. School. Really not worth it."
Beth sighed, moving the schematics she was examining off to the side. "Dad, we talked about this."
She waved it off. "No, no, I mean... How do I put this." Don't mention that most Ricks don't think schooling is worth it because the kids die so often and have to be replaced. "Would you agree that even at the top of their fields, your children won't learn about galactic history? Or truely advanced material? Most Earth's barely reach the moon, and half the time it is due to me leaving my notes somewhere when high or passed out."
She took a cleansing breath and huffed from her nose. "Dad."
Sarah held her hands up! "I'm not saying don't let the kids socialize or anything! I… Well, even if the topics WERE important to their futures, I don't trust public school systems to teach to the highest levels. It gets worse based on location and ethnicity and species bias and a dozen other things. Not to mention some classes like language and history can be vastly different from dimension to dimension."
Her daughter paused… And sighed. "And what would you suggest? Don't think I missed you taking a sip from your flask earlier. I won't accept one of those 'brilliant' ideas you sometimes find at the bottom of one."
Ohh, snarky! Heh. "No, this isn't my normal mind warping juice. I improved my body to easily handle alcohol and other stimulants in a non-damaging and mentally stable way… This stuff is strictly for taste now." Which was MUCH better with never having hangovers again.
Beth blinked. "Wait, really? Give me that."
The woman sniffed the drink. "Huh." And took a sip. "Damn, that is amazing!"
Because Adam is a champ and picked it since Beth was nearby. "Homemade Sangria. A red wine mixed with orange juice, brandy, some granulated sugar to take the edge off, some apple, orange, blueberries and strawberries… And some seltzer."
He handed her a glass and she poured more liquid into the thing than the flask should be able to hold. "Huh. And it comes out chilled too?"
His daughter took a swig. "No really, I may need some of this for uh. Future comparisons. To other drinks you may or may not be having."
Seeing young Summer pout Sarah grinned and filled a separate glass. "Your mom probably won't let you have the real stuff until you are older than seventeen, but try some Virgin Cranberry Basil Sangria. Still pretty tasty."
His granddaughter snagged the chilled glass… And froze, before trying to look calm and reserved. "Well, I suppose I should TRY a bit, if just to spare your feelings Grandpa."
Sarah couldn't get a word in before Summer was drinking it down though. "Oh… Yeah, this makes lemonade seem pretty pathetic. Can I get one of those special flasks, but just for stuff like this?"
Huh? Sure, no problem. <Adam, one of the non-alcoholic prototypes? Thanks.> "Here you go."
Right! "So my plan here…"
Beth was distracted by how Adam kept changing the alcoholic drinks from the flask as she refilled the thing, ensuring each new flavor complimented the last one and the alcoholic quality and content and varieties worked seamlessly through the process.
Well. Uh. "My plan…"
Summer was crunching on the ice in her drink refill, while Morty was half asleep as his body was being enhanced by the Tonics.
So no one was really paying attention.
Beth also MIGHT be drinking a bit heavily, as the only one besides Sarah to know that everyone else here had actually died rather than this world being a new planet entirely. Crud.
Oh well. "I'll bring it up later. Maybe we should all get some sleep." And when Beth finally was put in her bed, Sarah could easily embed her command node for personal use. And apply the other Tonics, since that would be easy enough to do and keep her little girl safe.
As for the school replacement plan, Sarah personally thought the kids would be alright educationally with a few Tonics containing technical data covering topics being collected by Adam… Though she would probably have to wait until Beth woke up to get permission first. Best be safe.
Her daughter SHOULD be fine with it though, right? After all, the doses would only contain modified memories with all sorts of basic information that would help a lot in any school system, nothing extreme!
Some mathematics, simple formulas, critical thinking skills, a few mental tricks for memorization of rote facts which should come in handy... Especially since half the school classes that Sarah knew about only BOTHERED with fact memorization most of the time.
Plus, why not add a few extras?
Maybe a bunch of engineering and biological data. And some stuff about psionics and… A few more odds and ends. Some portal science, a few memories about material sciences… Uh. A few basic dimensional databases about some species and customs and a bunch of language translation matrices.
Yeah, it should be fine.
She'd bring it up again after Beth woke up sober with her new enhancements and equipment, and after Summer crashed into slumber from this oncoming sugar high.
Thank GOODNESS 'Enhance Self' would prevent dehydration and blood sugar issues, or these women would be REALLY cranky later!

Honestly it's pretty easy to forget that Summer is the person most like Rick in the whole family (both intelligence wise and morally), probably why she's trusted with some of Ricks more exotic stuff (like the mind blowers).
Seriously though Sarah seems to be legitimately on her way to becoming if not the Rickest Rick then at least the best/luckiest one, no Jerry, her daughter and grandaughter are actually joining in with the science with their own designs, unlimited drinks of all varietys on demand, building her own Doom Base.
And she hasn't even used the ice cream machine yet.
Edit: Actually, if Sarah's planning on giving the kids a massive knowledge download then Summers suddenly going to become much more impressive, the only thing really holding her back before was a lack of motivation and knowledge.
Summer Unleashed could be just as scary as Evil Morty depending on what happens after this.

The Sanchez way, drinking till the alien cowboys come home after escorting the other alien bovine ladies to their home.
Beth will surely love to be able to speak Gobblykok, nothing could go wrong teaching everyone to swear in a couple hundred thousand languages.
They totally watch what they say in public all the time!

Feeling like I want you to be posting more than one chapter a day, with how short these FEEL, as well as how quickly I am reading them... But I also know that your chapter release rate is FANTASTIC and asking for more is mean.
Only a few minor typos in this chapter. The MC being called Susan instead of Sarah, Summer accidentally being called Sarah, and accidentally writing 'thighs' instead of 'this', stuff like that.
for the next arc... not sure WHAT you have planned... Maybe Stargate, Harry Potter, Naruto, StarCraft, Fable, etc...?
Kinda feel like it might be interesting to add in something like the reason all these realities are so destabilized might have something to do with Sarah's old "benefactor". Like, have her go into a jump and come across the remains(or pieces) of Celestial Forge or something. Like her old "benefactor" tried to assault/rob someone/something a little above its weight class, and they both destroyed each other and destabilized the local multiverses?

There is one that gets next to no love in fanfiction but could really use a helping hand or more.

Make a society post-scarcity? What are you talking about? If they can't go from untamed garden world with nothing but their hands to a completely self-sufficient interdimensional life-ship with a year, you are failing as a Grand-Rick.

GURPS is a system, not a setting. Also, I feel like there wouldn't be any one in specific to save or help, and for much the same reason why there are few written stories of DnD campaigns.Regarding a new setting...

A typo
Cerebellum. Part of the brain that controls balance. She took a drawback that gives her a punny nickname, usually insulting, like Principle Vagina has. Turns out, she looks like a younger version of the Sanchez family's neighbor, Mrs. Bellum, and her name is Sarah; thus, Sarah Bellum.
Sarah is going to blow the various Rick's minds. She doesn't have the genius. She'd tech count as a doofus Rick. She's also sober. But somehow she builds better stuff than they do. Then again, it's not like they are trying, and she spends most of her efforts at cleaning Rick Messes up.
I love the raw amount of info she is going to cram into the kids as basic knowledge. What's worse is that she is right. For the most part, history and the local language/books are the only things she can't preload. All the hard science stuff? She can easily have that handled.
I can't wait until kids start doing their own science. Actually, I can't wait for some other Rick and Morty to try to stop by and hide or whatnot and quickly decide that they can't blend into this world. Then again, I could see other Ricks getting competitive after seeing what Sarah has pulled off.

So in all seriousness what is stopping Sarah from gaining a superior version of ricks genius in jump considering all that she has going for her. being honest ricks genius can probably be explained as a combination of genetics+some inborn psionic trait(s)+possibly a very slight amount of magic that he denies the existence of.
So seeing how Sarah has Adam, her savant perks in genetics and robotics, and likely more experience/better knowledge of psionics and magic than legitimate ricks couldn't she collect the necessary data from prime examples of ricks inside the central finite curve (and possibly the smartest people outside of it) and then refine that data so she can create the ultimate body/form. thusly becoming the transcendental rick who posseses all of the benefits and none of the downsides of being a Rick (alchoholism, laziness, apathy, trauma, emotional baggage, lack of connection, inability to listen to others, enough pride to -if converted to a physical form- dwarf the multiverse his verse resides in, the arrogance that comes from/with that pride, etc.)?
The only downside i can see from attemting this is that there is an infinite amount of rick to scan and if it was successful then it wouldn't be fait backed.

Ah, but therein lies the rub. If she is successful, than she is able to surpass the Rick based entirely on her own merits and understandings, taking it as a part of herself that could be duplicated and spread if she is able to convert it into plasmid/tonic form. But... the research and understanding that would go into the project? She would be at minimum an equal, and more likely one that has surpassed the Rick.
How does the Rickest Rick perk work across universes or jumps I mean in the Rick and Morty jump Sarah would have been as smart as Rick but what about in a universe like the jumper how smart would Sarah be there. Also is she considered a doofus Rick and will she be made fun of by the other Rick's.
