Pepe first, then Kadoc, then Akuta.
Nice reminder that for all his love of messing with people, Merlin genuinely tries to care about others and be a good person.

Well, that's fixed.
As far as order of operations... I'm going to do semi-frequent time skips so I don't get too bogged down in slice-of-life, so you'll see what the Crypter Revival schedule looks like as soon as next chapter. Whenever I finish it. ...I haven't started it past the title, yet.
And yeah, Matthew's going to have a pretty decent opinion of Merlin by the time they meet in person. Well, in person in a Singularity. He's going to be conscious one of these days and pal around with him in Avalon.
Merlin: Mine Now.
Morgan: Excuse Me?

I would go for Kadoc first. His lesser injuries and strategery would make him a good test bed for the code.
Whoops. I was talking about-
Yeah, him. Cause he has a female Proto version. Even if it'll probably never end up in the game.The dickwizard! What are you up to dickwizard?

No, but if Male Merlin can, has and will stick functional male bits on women, it only stands to reason that Female Merlin can, has and will stick functional female bits on men.

Wait so lily Da Vinci is already here?
I know that they probably didn't even design or have an idea but I'm glad that Team-A is being brought up every now and then.
......Feel like thats some Galahad coming through- considering how she really doesn't like Lancelot.
I feel like thats something Haruko Haruhara would do.
This level of trust must feel so weird- I love it
Surprisingly accurate.
Telling Medea (or any Greek Heroic Spirit) that you'd stab the gods for them is basically "Babe I'll die for you" cause lets be honest even just saying something bad about the gods could lead to your death.
Now that I think about it did Medea ever actually get to see Excalibur in Fate? I can't recall- oh wait she probably saw Saber Nuke Rider in the Fate route.
Nasu might be a Chūnibyō but at least he's not like Ishibumi who makes absolutely mind numbingly bad weapon designs
Ahhhh their bonding.
Also who else is having the mental image of these two skipping in the hall ways of Chaldea as if their Kazuma and Megumin? Cause my mind can see this so clearly its scary.
New friend got!
Time for more bonding!
He knows how to pump some iron
Adorable
Man Mathew sure is popular one today
You mean Saber.
I mean just look at him, besides when not summoned as an Assassin he'll be a Saber.
Yeaaaaaaaaah maybe making someone's chest explode isn't the best thing to do with your associates/servants/slaves. Granted the fact that it happens in multiple routes makes me think he's cursed but still.
Wow what a reunion- also YESSSSSSSSSS!
Don't worry thats somewhat common when first meeting someone you think is completely out of your league.
HE IS A MAN OF CULTURE!!!!!
He's like a confused puppy thats not very used to friendly people.
1. Dawwww
2. Mashu what the fuck!?
3. Cu is definitely a good Husbando
This. Is. Amazing.
Oh wow he admitted it.
That makes some sense.
Wow guy gets the best of both types of dating games.
Also I could be wrong but I think its a no go for Nightingale. Just if we count her amnesia self from the Prison Tower as her true personality then compare it to her Berserker Mad Enhanced version......yeah.
I mean I could be wrong but around half of the Berserkers minds are so mucked that dating/sleeping with them would be like taking advantaged of someone who's been drugged/inhibited/temporarily having some mental issues.
Though back to Night I could honesty see Mathew go to the Prisoner tower- the guy does have a hatred/dislike of the world/humanity or just those who have cursed his existence.
Also Quetz is good, Quetz is life, Quetz is the one true best goddess. Fight me

So in canon Da Vinci pulls something akin to a Touko Aozaki. She was the third summon, but the system wouldn't have supported her due to being unstable. So she made a body to masquerade as her contractor and hopped in, using the puppet as vessel and anchor. Her contract doesn't get passed to Ritsuka until much later.
It's why she can't fight until later, actually. The details are under the 'role' section of her page on the Type Moon wiki.
So no Lily yet (if I ever get to that point). Hope this helps!

Can Morgan come up with something to block Clairvoyance? If so, dealing with Goetia without sacrificing Roman is simple.
Steal Roman's ring and use it to summon a fresh Solomon from the Throne, and have him keep watch over Chaldea while hiding him from Goetia's sight, thereby filling him in and motivating him to use Ars Nova. Bring him along in stealth for the Time Temple and have him snag a ring when Goetia discards his charade of being Solomon - including the rings - so when Roman shows up with the last ring, Solomon invokes Ars Nova before Roman can revert to being Solomon. Solomon's gone, Goetia implodes like a Jenga tower, and since Roman isn't Solomon at the time, he's fine!

A little complex, but... how did you get in my drafts!? -eyes the first few pages of my next chapter-
And Merlin alluded to it in my last one, as well. So the 'no-selling Clairvoyance' is partially on the table already.
Basically? Goetia has no idea that the Shroud is being made. None.

Is it wrong that I kind of want Matthew to be secretly building a faerie death machine to smack Goetia around with, once the Demon Pillars are made known?
The EX Ranked Mad Enhancement affects their way of thinking, I think? The lowest ranks only dulls their sense of pain.
Still, I think I'd go for Kiyohime. She fucking showed up on my rewards after Orleans, and I'm touched by that level of dedication (and insanity. Definitely insanity.)
Is it strange that I keep thinking, "Fairy Types are only super effective against dragons and not demons"?

Speaking as a man with a younger sister, while that might be Galahad, it's just as likely to be 100% pure Mash.
Little sisters often have a very unique way of interacting with their older brothers, especially when said older brothers are being extra irritating.
To be fair, I think Aphrodite is one of the original Olympians, if so then she technically doesn't have tits to get stabbed in as her true form is an alien nanotech robot spaceship.
I don't think that Matthew is aware of the true nature of the Olympians though, IIRC that's something that doesn't get revealed to those not already in the know until LB5.

EX is essentially "can't be regularly scaled" or just so high that scaling would be useless. So essentially when given EX rating your a special case.
Oh definitely Kiyohime is waifu as fuck. She's sweet, caring, an amazing housewife, can kick ass, can turn into a Lamia (if you believe the April Fools card) and as everyone knows crazy is attractive.
Don't need to tell me I have a sister whom I argue with all the time.
True but even then she does have a human form as well. Pretty much all the Greek Gods gained some sorta humanoid avatar- we see a few of them in LB5.
Actually I'm 90% sure when talking to Artemis and Orion one of them will bring up that her regular form was "far to large and way to metallic". I mean people talked about Olympians being Aliens as far as I could remember.

Kiyohime is fine as long as you're super careful to never ever lie to her and don't mind having a waifu who is always on 110% maximum devotion all the time.
The ones that were alien robots from space were specifically a group referred to in-game as the '12 Olympians', those 12 were originally the Gods of Atlantis in their space robot forms, totally unrelated to the Greeks. But then Sefar showed up and wrecked their shit, destroying Atlantis and their spaceship bodies, leaving them with just the divine power they had gained from becoming Gods and probably a few remotes and bits here and there. Those bits then washed up on the shores of Greece, where the Greeks did exactly the same thing they had always done when they found some new gods that looked kind of interesting; they adopted them for themselves.
So the Olympians being aliens was a pretty obvious conclusion, the surprise was when they turned out to be alien robots, although that was a lot less surprising when people noted that they were basically a Mazinger Z tribute, at which point everyone went 'oh Nasu' and went back to waifu gacha.
Yeah, nanobot android\gynoid 'remote' bodies for interacting with the humies.

There were a ton of hints that there was something up with the Olympians; Altera says something along the lines of 'well their true nature was...' when talking about aliens at one point IIRC, and there's a bunch of other similar stuff that strongly implied Something Was Up With The Olympians. We also have the deities of Central and South America (Aztec, Maya, Inca etc) who were revealed to originate from alien microbes that arrived on Earth inside the Yucatan impactor, hence why Quetz isn't broken overpowered like the true form of Amaterasu; Sun deities are supposed to be on a whole different level to other Gods, cuz they draw their power from the Sun which, being a star, is way bigger and more powerful than the World, a mere planet. But though Quetz is depicted as a Sun deity, she's actually a meteorite\falling star deity, so she can't do bullshit Sun deity nonsense but can do an orbital drop-kick that hits as hard as the mass that created the Chicxulub crater.

...you know, I hadn't considered it, but it would make quite a bit of sense.

Depending on how you class the 'demon' in question they actually might be super effective. If it's dark without a poison/fire/steel subtype, then fairies clean house. ...Fou as Sylveon...? -'Moonlight Densetsu' starts blaring in the background-

None of the Olympians have their bodies in Panhuman, they lost them against Sefar and only their spirits remained as Divine Spirits

Not quite. Their original bodies were destroyed, but they created terminals - avatars - beforehand. Those survived and became the Divine Spirits we know from myth. The only exception is Ares, whose original body is still in orbit to this day, constantly watching for any trace of Sefar so he can smite her and get his sword back.

Yup. He's the god of war, making him the best suited to combat and surviving unwinnable battles. Sefar didn't destroy him, but she did thrash him and take his sword, Photon Ray, as a trophy. When Altera uses Teardrop Photon Ray, she's marking the target area with her energy signature, tricking Ares into smiting Altera's enemy with an orbital bombardment instead of Altera herself. She can't use it very often, not only because it takes a lot of power to mark an area so Ares notices her presence, but also because if she does it too often, he'll realize he's being tricked and show up in person.

The Ares killsat that shoots at Altera in Teardrop Photon Ray is mentioned to be a 'virtual manifestation', which I think implies that he did lose his spaceship body with the rest of the Olympians but that he has enough divine power to manifest a copy in orbit when he detects Altera because she's using the sword's targeting laser function.
Like, he really hates Altera, so it's possible all the Olympians could do something similar and don't because it just costs them way too much power, but Ares is all 'fuck that imma shoot a bitch.'
It being a 'projection' would also explain how it can fire on things and not wipe out entire continents; as Artemis' killsat form at full power as seen in LB5 was capable of shooting massive chunks out of the Earth, as in 'the Doomslayer shoots a hole in Mars' size. But a projection would naturally be weaker, still excruciatingly powerful, but down from 'continent killer' to 'city killer'.

I do wonder how is he going to react to the inevitable wacky stuff that will happen sooner or later.
