The Ringing of a Forge of Stars [Warhammer 40k/ Celestial forge V3||OC...ish]

[Rockinalice]

Oh, I understand completely, and agree wholeheartedly. The problem is that, in 40k, you are NEVER going to be able to outpunch everyone, and at the end of the day the infantry scale is what's truly important, as no battle in the setting that wasn't explicitly in deep space has ever been won without boots on the ground. it is also, incidentally, the part about 40k that most needs help. if you can bolster the people, you bolster the Imperium as a whole.

as god as the spaceships are, they mean NOTHING when you are being boarded by the warp horrors that got past the shield, or managed to get you off of it.

besides, they realistically only have one proper ship right now, and even Satori would have trouble trying to build a new one from scratch straight off.

Its even wrorse when you consider the Neron when based on Lore are near the top when it comes to Technology in the forge not the TOP but they are up their (they have a MAP of the galaxy that when manipulated effect the actual galaxy) and the can given even a chance shut down the Impeller field these are tbe people that where able to put up a fight with the Old Ones and managed to fight and capture the C'tan who are a part of the physical universe and can pull the stuff the impeller field does easily

They arent a match for high-end Time lord tech and anything in the same teir but they are still a big THREAT and will be for a long time

It would suck if we got the THIEF'S attention because that would not go well for us he managed to stay alive for the War in Heaven and the 60 million years after with most Powers wanting his head

This all depends on which version of the Necron are being used

Also if any of Original eldar are still alive

 

[Slayer 10321]

Hmmm...welp, the planets fucked (and everyone on it). So either Satori (and co.) flee the planet after grabbing everyone they can (I hope he only saves Van Saar since I like them and they mesh well with Satori) or he repulses the Admech fleet(s) and takes over Necromunda before going ham with the tech uplift.

Either way, shit just got real.

 

[Trek]

Um, no. This is the result of the Mechanicus knowing there was an undamaged, uncorrupted and above all complete STC on planet. This was going to happen the moment they got a whiff of it.

Click to shrink...

Like Ryune said, they came because of the STC, not because of what Satori did. Yes he has tech that they don't know about, but that is peanuts compared to the completed STC.

The world of 40k is too vast and grand to just revolve around a Forger, at least all of the factions like people seem to think. Satori has barely started to make any waves to warrant notice. What people really want is the STC. Satori being himself isn't even enough for them.

Click to shrink...

Lets not forget the reason they know there is a complete STC here, which is the direct reason they came, it all traces back to mcs carelessness and reckless actions, if mc was not careless they would not have found out.

You are underestimating v3 forger, if mc didn't go out reveal to much to so many people he would be able to take on all the factions single handendly in a few years.

All of mcs companions are also complete assholes, handing out mcs tech without his approval, stong arming him into choices which are bad for him, etc.

They don't strong arm Sat into choices that are bad for him, they strong arm him into choices that they think is best. And it usually is, but everyone makes mistakes sometimes, even the fucking reality warping mana-robot construct thing that is Rico, Thoth, and Mio, who shares some of Sat's perks.

Its not that they are making bad decisions on purpose. And that just makes this story more believable and lets me suspend my disbelief longer and easier.

Plus you gotta admit it makes for some good plot, my plot fetish needs feeding after all and this story overflows it.

These are not their choices to make, even if they think they know better its simply not relevant, its not their tech, its not their powers and as such they have no right to decide or strong arm mc into choices.

If mc made mistakes that would be one thing, but letting Rico, Thoth, and Mio strong-arm choices for him and then suffering from their mistakes? What a toxic relationship.

 

[Rockinalice]

There are very few worlds when based on lore in science fiction+fantasy that are more dangerous then warhammer worlds the few i have off the top of my head are

Doctor who- during any Time war or when Time Lords are not time locked or when they haven't stabilized the multiverse and Banished magic (place could kill a full powered forge individual if gaurds are down

Vampire Hunter D- this place if you dont have protection from all forms of cognition,conceptual defenses from the beginning you are probably Dead and the tech is just as high as the Whoverse while their are a ton of beings at the level of Chaos Gods, most Vampires are basically Primarch but are also perpetual, and the high-end are galaxy to universal+ on average

These places are insane in lore

 

[ATP]

They could gave STC to Sister and then giving them to Mechanicus,BUT... Mechanicus would kill them anyway.
So - hide with Sisters.If they let Sisters go,Mechanicus would catch and torture them.And then torture SI&friends.
What to do...well,i belive in author.Maybe let Tyranid fleet come at the same time ?

P.S Harry is wizard now? then,after defeating Vodemort he could take all 6 sisters as his harem.Inquisitors had that kind of things,right?

 

[Engineseer]

Let's us not forget people
There not only 1 but 2 STCs here
The complete one and the one that Vaar SAR hides

The Mechanicus will 100% get an STC .... which one however is in debate

 

[Slider Zero]

I see I opened up a bit of a shitstorm here with this chapter. let's get around to addressing some of this mess, shall we?

Ya this is kinda the problem with humanity's. 40k in general it's such a massive thing that showing new tech off like this gets a battle fleet from one of humanity factions on your ass let alone the aliens who would show up to mess with your day. Unless your the emperor or one of his sons he literal has no hope of hanging things with out being declared a heretic. So he has to start his own faction who uses magic and other tech to just no sell anything current mankind tech can do while handing out STCs every one like candy or the emperors own custodies show up and tell everyone to fuck off Big E ones this man on terra right fucking now.

still nice chapter even if I think Big E might be directing these sisters how else would they find them.

Click to shrink...

I honestly thought he would know better than to leave the entrance of his warehouse undefended. Especially after those bodies found in the hanger. This is 40k, everywhere is dangerous....

Click to shrink...

That end was ominous.... He really needs better warehouse security.

Click to shrink...

Warehouse security was considered by general agreement to be sufficient due to both remoteness of location and harshness of environment...and up until this chapter, IT. WORKED. That Arikia's team found them was a combination of sheer luck and an outright miracle at the same time.

as for the bodies in the Hangar, that is a separate issue and will be addressed as more info comes in.

Dude may as well have given the cores to chaos on a platter.

Remember that he need high grade ontological protection so that chaos doesn't instantly delete him.

The sisters lack any such protection, they can and will most likely brute force posses them.

It was nice knowing you sisters, have fun with chaos.

Click to shrink...

I will be frank here. Satori drew attention because of circumstances unique to him. The Sisters of Battle are hands-down the most Pious of the various factions of the Imperium, and are highly unlikely to fall to Chaos. this is not as automatic as you are making it appear.

Besides, this was Mio's work. do you really think for one second that a Techpriest who has faced chaos directly would conveniently forget adding in appropriate protections?

He is going to upgrade his warehouse security next, now that it got infiltrated once.
It will also be fun to see how he is going to deal with the Mechanicus, since he has absolutely nothing to fear from them. They can't find him in the wastes, or if they can they can't bombard it from orbit for fear of damaging the STC. Thus they are limited to sending assault squads after him at which point he can just teleport a continent away and open the door to the warehouse over there.
There is literally nothing to fear here.

Click to shrink...

the Adeptus Mechanicus is anything BUT stupid. they will have taken this sort of thing into account in their preparations.
Also, it is worth noting that just because the Mechanicus cannot directly harm them doesn't mean that they can inflict harm on the Mechanicus in turn. something to think about.

Its even wrorse when you consider the Neron when based on Lore are near the top when it comes to Technology in the forge not the TOP but they are up their (they have a MAP of the galaxy that when manipulated effect the actual galaxy) and the can given even a chance shut down the Impeller field these are tbe people that where able to put up a fight with the Old Ones and managed to fight and capture the C'tan who are a part of the physical universe and can pull the stuff the impeller field does easily

They arent a match for high-end Time lord tech and anything in the same teir but they are still a big THREAT and will be for a long time

This all depends on which version of the Necron are being used

Click to shrink...

the Necrons are currently not a factor at this point in time. Possibilities on what could happen should they get involved are speculation at this point.

that being said...

That tech edge is DEFINITELY not something to scoff at. Effectiveness versus Valk core and Impeller-level bullshit is strictly TBD at this time.

Hmmm...welp, the planets fucked (and everyone on it). So either Satori (and co.) flee the planet after grabbing everyone they can (I hope he only saves Van Saar since I like them and they mesh well with Satori) or he repulses the Admech fleet(s) and takes over Necromunda before going ham with the tech uplift.

It's a bit more complex than that, but yes, Shit just got real. VERY Real.

okay, what?

Did you even read the Interlude?

The AdMech found out about the STC from intelligence reports obtained via moles in the Sororitas. They were unaware of anything unusual until that moment. There were no "reckless actions" or "carelessness" to get caught up on, ore else Van Saar would have gotten rolled a LONG time ago.

also, as for plan Turtle...WELCOME TO WARHAMMER 40K.

There was no way possible for Satori to stay below radar completely, if for no other reason then that shit WILL happen around him one way or another and force him to react in some manner or another that will tip the hand juuust enough to garner curiosity. to put it plainly:

PEACE WAS NEVER AN OPTION.

as to the whole issue with Mio allowing the cores to be kept by the Sisters: she CREATED the damned things, they are legitimately hers to hand out as she sees fit...and aside from personally trained, hand-picked people, this was just about the best option that could have popped up for potential users.

Adding 'Nids to this Clusterfuck is a bit much, don't you think?

and it is as our Engineseer says: there are a minimum of two STCs on planet, possibly a third and fragments of others as well. the Mechanicus is not going to regret the decision either way unless somehow Van Saar gets its STC snatched out from under them at the last second...which is unlilely for Satori to do because he doesn't know where it is.

I will add that there is nothing in lore stating that the Van Saar STC is in any way incomplete, just damaged and leaking radiation. Make of that as you will.

and yes, Harry is a full mage now, in the Nanoha style, which means lots of firepower. Harem options for Harry remain undecided in all regards.

Canonically there is an entire hive world's worth of genestealers on necromunda depending on the timeline, they are based/were based in hive secundus the second largest hive city on necromunda, brought/created by a rogue biologis tech priest

So massive nid forces can be involved

Chaos invasion can also happen

Necrons might suddenly show up, mainly in the form either the Infinite or the Diviner

Eldar might be there cause they Eldar

Dark Eldar too

and with so much potential fun, orks might as well be an guaranteed guest

And where did Mio learn to make the cores, where did she get that power, form mc. Its mcs design, mcs tech no two ways about it. Lets not forget what Mio is, she is a companion, she serves the mc first thats her entire purpose as a companion the forge gave mc. When you purchase a fiat-backed companion, especially from a jumpdoc like 40k the purchase better be fullproof otherwise whats the point of paying so much cp for it.

In fact its the same for all of the forge given companions, why would you want a core with a AI thats not loyal to you, why would you want a perk powered assistant when they constantly strong-arm you and don't hold loyalty to you first? This is why the forge only gives out loyal assistants otherwise your AIs would turn on you, your battleships would blow you apart and your sentiment companions would betray you because you pulled them from their worlds.


Plan pure turtle may never have been an option but better securing and more paranoid restrictions would have saved mc a hell of a lot of trouble.

There was never a good option to hand out cores anyway, they never should have been made much less given to anyone, giving them to the sisters was a bad option from a hand of other worse options.

Click to shrink...

Aside from the Genestealers, who are already on planet, nearly every other faction is nowhere near in range of Necromunda at this time to make any form of major difference in what's about to go down.

The Eldar are keeping out for the precise reason that having that much Imperial firepower in one spot means that somewhere else is left hanging.

Chaos is not planned to make a move at this time.

The gangers are a good catch, but most of them are not going to push that hard against veteran Skitarii, let alone whatever else has come out of the vaults for this operation.

as for the Orks..they COULD show up, sure, but that is very much unlikely.

I think it's time to get out of there. Well, as soon as the spacecraft is ready. Satori's tech is good, but not "1 ship VS 1 fleet" good.

And before you say something silly like "but that's not the point", I will note that several other CF authors are literally hate-writing simply as a take that to BCF and the...less than appealing direction that story has taken.

Are you truly surprised about what is happening? The MC has been a pretty dumb guy from the very beginning. And as W40k Si stories are as rare as they are, we read them anyway. For now at least. Let's stop our criticism, no matter how justified it feels. No one cares anyway and as some say, we can simply stop reading the story if we don't like it.

As for the Sisters of Battle being pious, so what? They are still naive pawns of a religious institution which makes the Catholic church during it's darkest time look good. The only way to save this would be to take them with them, ergo the Sisters leaving the imperial church behind. As for chaos taking over forcefully, let's not forget that it can simply attempt to play the long game and breake them as it did so many others. I wouldn't be surprised though, if the cores could detect the influence of chaos and kill them before that happens ore simply refuse to work.

[Ghost in a Wall]

You know, I was thinking- and aside from the Sisters discovering Satori's base of operations (which really isn't that big a deal- they can just move it... to literally anywhere that uses a door, then cloak the door/bury it). Aside from the Sisters, I'm not too concerned bout the Mechanicus due to the whole "ASTARTE GARRISON" on planet. That's going to cause some.... Conflicts to say the least. At least until all the paperwork is filed.

I mean, in a way, he already solved the whole "Genestealer" issue the moment the Mechanicus showed up. They are going to find out about the infection as they strip the city down for that STC, and probably get the Garrison in on the action. Satori can just sit and watch the fireworks with Harry as they bail- right now, they just need to survive 60~ hours before they can escape. That's less then 3 days, and is probably going to end up with a blind FTL jump that will leave the Imperium going "OH FUCK, IT'S NOT WARP BASED FTL"

It's worse than just not Warp based, in terms of disparity of capabilities; it can be used within the Warp Terminus of the system.

That is, the ship can go FTL without leaving planetary orbit. (You can technically launch from grounded state into FTL if you don't much care about how this impacts those left behind you...)

The only chance at capturing the ship they have is when it's launching. After that, between the likely stealth systems and FTL capabilities, it's functionally impossible for any IoM vessel to ever successfully engage it in combat.

And that's while ignoring the sheer unadulterated Fuckery of a spacecraft with both a Valkyrie and Unison Core. Even if they could force an engagement, that little Not!Normandy has FTL sensors and weapons. On top of this, the ship has an Impeller Field. Impeller Fields in their canon source can pull Tai Chi / Judo redirect moves with laser weapons fire. Literally turn Lance Batteries against the very ships that use them.

And heaven help the Mechanicus if that Valkyrie Core figures out how to use Impeller Field Wave Motion effects... because nothing else will.

Where those choices lead is a different story. He may well have made all the optimal choices but still ended up wherever you want the plot to go, the diffrcne would have been in that he would have been smart yet still failed, in this he was not smart and then failed.

If I could write stories I would, but damm have I tried so many times I just dont have talent for it y'know?

Except you WERE criticizing the direction AND the setup. You seem to want omniscient mcs or something which tends to make for a boring story. The setup part CLEARLY is in such a way that states that COMPANIONS AREN'T BRAINDEAD TOOLS. In addition there is no barrier for Mio and the forge, it's better to say Mio and Satori both have identical copies of the forge and a mindlink.

Turtling is something you do when you want to hunker down for a few months in a city or some place not easily detected, not a few weeks in the middle of nowhere where fortifications would stand out. In addition the door was locked as mentioned in a previous chapter, and any additional defense would be suspicious.

I was criticizing the mc, not the author. Whereas the author was critising me instead of my argument. That's the difference. I don't want a omniscient mc, I just dont want a stupid mc.

Companions can be live and varied, they just have to be loyal to the mc otherwise the forge would never hand them out.

Mio is a companion, the connection to the forge is not equivalent, an assistant form the forge handed to the forge user does not own the forge. Just like companions dont have the same level of connection to jumpchain as the jumper.

Having a locked door is nothing, less than nothing in terms of security in 40k, it does not have to be overt security it can be hidden but it does have to exist, otherwise, you end up in a less than favorable situation like mc experienced first hand.

Anyway, this discussion is now moot anyway as the author does not want any more of it, so lets not keep dragging it out, you have your view, I have mine, and thats that.

From what setting?

Loosely based off of the Technology from Thunder Force, with guidance from the Generic Space Opera Doc, which matches the concept. it IS experimental, though.

...you just don't get it. it's NOT. THAT. SIMPLE. no matter how hard you try to wank the capabilities of chaos to make it look like a bad call.

besides, they have to actually get the damned cores first. and I will remind you of the capabilities of a Valkyrie...

I am perfectly fine with them getting the cores. I just wish the MC gives them something that prevents them from becoming target number one for chaos sorcerers everywhere. A single delta level psyker almost killed the MC and Chaos has people even above alpha level.

And you are the one that has been showing the chaos gods constantly manipulating things around the MC to kill them, why wouldn't the same happen to sisters.


I mean they literally have no weapons on their cores and even their armour is not integrated, the only way they stop a chaos librarian is through maybe the impeller field and that requires years of training.

Cant take the criticism so attack my character? You can't take criticism, now I get that, you are being pretty pathetic, y'know?

The story's direction is irrelevant to the conversation, the discussion is about if the choices the group made and mc made were logical and if there were other easily available better choices. Where those choices lead is a different story. He may well have made all the optimal choices but still ended up wherever you want the plot to go, the diffrcne would have been in that he would have been smart yet still failed, in this he was not smart and then failed.

If I could write stories I would, but damm have I tried so many times I just dont have talent for it y'know?

So go ahead, I'll wait, show me where this new holy direction in which mc does not want to gain power and have security goes.

Yes Trek, he's the pathetic one. The one that has been trying to convey to you that he doesn't want to make his character's sociopaths who never make mistakes. Who tries to inject some good and humanity in that fucked up world instead of simply wallowing in depression while giving up his morals like you and others want him to. While you have been first one up to try and scream as loud as you can on every CF story, including mine, to try and get it changed into what you want. Remember when you lost your shit about Mia not killing a pregnant teen? The teen who has gone on to become a very good friend that has grown beyond her trauma and past. Should thank you for that though.

Just like you have given Aeon inspiration to spite you in bringing hope into Warhammer, you helped me realize who Mia truly was on the inside because of your screaming vitriol. That she was a good but flawed person who had a big heart.

More than that, I realized that I don't have to listen to the loud ones like you, instead just let what comes to me come to me. So thanks for screaming and hollering. It did wonders for my spiteful writings.

So ignoring all the hubaloo and controversy of the latest chapter (I'm fine with everything the authors been doing), I have a question about some potential perk interactions that when I thought about them, made me curious.

When you eventually gain the Bloody Roar perk, will that resonate with the Arknights perk and let you turn into a Were-Kitsune? Would it give you another tail, signifying that you are evolving into a Nine-Tailed Fox (like Amaterasu/Tamamo and Kurama to name some examples)? Considering you gained Chakra recently, it writes it's own jokes.

Another resonance/synergy would be the Strike Witches perk. If you gain that, would it let you shapeshift back into baseline (in appearance only) Human (since the Kitsune form could merge with your Familiar transformation) and allow you to walk around in Imperial society without needing any flimsy disguises (that get destroyed during your inevitable calamities)? This would solve the conundrum posed in the earlier chapters since you wouldn't basically be amputating yourself for the benefit of xenophobic assholes. Also would the perk give you another Tail?
