Calibration (BAHHSCQ/Sanctioned)

Reader mode
*Blinks*

Nani the fuck did I just read?

I'm pretty sure this isn't a bloodborne corssover. Yet.

Its funny that she hit that same spot as Coke-kun, able to hear her Frame but ignoring it for the "Truth." Which probably isn't inaccurate in the world viewed through QA's eyes if nothing else.

"Wait. Humans found these and co-op'd them to make weapons? Oh, okay, that makes more sense. Must have found a dead shard and instead of trying to eat it they made machines Friends with them. Smart! Too bad they're dead, but I can Halp!"

On the one hand, very little happened. On the other, the reactions to everything is highly amusing! Even the frame went in on it!

Edit: The title made me beliefe that it would be the exploration of the cult bunker. That still promises to be even more extreme! *shiver*

So was I the only one to read this as "her horror guard of winged void unicorns"? Because unintentional as it was it fits the description disturbingly well.

I'm tempted to turn this into ascended fanon at some point (if you don't mind). It's a good line.

Wasn't sure I understood it right when I was reading. Towards the end of the chapter, was that Enora's frame we saw thoughts of?

It was, yep.

Can't tell if she saw the truth about QA, realized that her Frame is sentient/sapient, or she's just awake for too long and suddenly that plate of potato chips started speaking to her - what.

I suspect at least some degree of Dreamer involvement because of her reference to the great young one, but I wouldn't be surprised if a little joke went way out of hand.

No. Wait. Wrong type of advance. Enora blamed the part where she'd been awake for... 44 hours now? Something like that. Sleep was highly overrated anyway; everyone was in on it and stuff everyone did was often wrong.

So I had to double check but the Crafting Club is currently all third years since no first year students joined last year:

"Sorry about them, they've been together so long as a group they've kinda forgotten that other people exist. No firsties joined last year and it seems that Mindy is determined to keep it that way this year too, so it's just us lonely and crusty third years here right now."

and we know from the first UNHCR mission that third years are quite capable (although they are exhausted at the end) of remaining awake and actively working for 7 straight days (168 hours):

A few are sleeping, every one of them worn down from the seven days of consecutive work. Sandra leans against a stump, face pale and shadows under her eyes, but still typing rapidly into her datapad as she works on other official matters.

Unlike the Third Year cadets, she couldn't make it through the week without sleeping until the end and you saw her occasionally catching cat naps here and there. Even so, from the hours she worked, she likely got less than ten hours sleep total this week.

Even Sandra, who is a relative newbie with 113s hours of synch time at the start of the quest, can sustain 2 hours sleep per 20 awake:

"Anna's here now. I'm back to babysit. Take care. Remember your current upper limit, two hours of sleep every twenty."

So you may want to bump that hours awake figure up a lot.

I'd be thrilled if you do.

Whoops. I thought that being synced with a Core cut those times down a bunch; I didn't realize we had precedent of a week. Thanks! EDIT: Bumped the time up a bunch. E2: I'm still assuming that heavy mental exertion will exhaust one more than (frame-assisted) manual labor, though.

Yeah, Valk cores start at "bullshit" and end at "completely broken, in the overpowered sense" - things like radical sleep reduction or thinking fast when needed (eg how Anna and to a much lesser degree a lot of the other aces tend to produce book-length papers on a whim, whenever even remotely needed) seem to come very very naturally to Valkyries.

Yeah, that'd be my only complaint. Wonderful character stuff, very little actual content.
 
Huh. Interesting. So is she hearing her frame, or are only we hearing her frame? From her comment how the frames are silent and non-sentient, I assume she isn't hearing her frame talking to her. So the question is whether we're hearing the Frame trying to talk to her and her not hearing, or whether we're hearing the proverbial plate of potato chips talking to her because of sleep deprivation. If the former, that's a pretty good indication that QA-or-someone will be figuring out how to actually talk to Frames at some point, or there'd be no point to show that... Which... two different non-human mindsets? Or do the Frames have sufficiently human mindsets because of what they're bonded to?
