"Let the Lord of Chaos rule."
a fun, exciting, mysterious way to rack your brains.
Published on July 7, 2009 By Fokxnim In Sins of a Solar Empire

So I just had this idea and I want to share it with all of you, and invite you all to be a part of my little game I'm starting. I am someone in the Sins universe, either TEC, Advent, or Vasari, and you ask me any questions whatsoever to find out who I am, when I am, and where I am. Let me explain more.

By who I am I mean you have to be able to tell me what race I am, what age I am (30-40 year old male would be a perfectly acceptable answer if it was the right answer, which it isnt. the point is it doesnt have to be that specific.), and, as I just mentioned, my sex.

By when I am I mean you have to be able to tell me the general status of the war during my time. Before the war, before entrenchment, after the war, when the Advent arrive, all these are as specific as you have to be. I wouldn't get more detailed because I probably wouldn't be able to answer you.

By where I am, I mean something a little more tricky than the first two. You'll have to tell me if I'm on a planet belonging to my own race, if that planet is being sieged, whether I'm being held hostage on an enemy planet, whether I'm on an enemy planet because I betrayed my own side, etc etc etc. Where I am pretty much means my whole background.

For example (and this is NOT the answer): You;d have to tell me that I am Harris Markson, middle-aged, TEC male, who was captured by the Vasari and is being held on one of their great starbases. I am put through daily painful interrogation techniques, and am on the verge of telling the Vasari all of the intricate details of the TEC's new superweapon, which will be able to blow up a planet. (something along the lines of that)

Now, how to figure me out:

You can ask me any kind of question at all. You could even ask me what my name is and my age, although I would not answer you with what you're looking for. I will provide an answer for any question no matter how dumb or irrevelant it is. I could even have a guy who thinks he's being funny ask me how I jack off, and I'll try to provide a clue to my identity in it. But I'll still answer it. It is up to all of you together, the Sins community, to try and reveal my identity. This is not supposed to be easy. My advice, start off asking general questions and make your way deeper as my answers provide insight into my life.

Another disclaimer: I am not really talking about myself. None of this is true. I am not actually living in the Sins universe. I wanted to make that perfectly clear.

Now, ask your questions!

ALSO: all characters that are created in this Mind Game will be used in Sinners (if you haven't seen it, you should check it out on the SOASE forums), and all "mini-stories" (i.e. Judgement and the History of the Spirits so far) will be incorporated into the story as well. So ask a lot of questions!

are you the typical american woman? [this is a joke, not a serious question, so don't take offence, ladies]

what is thy position among the Unity?

American? They are one of the fabled civilizations on Earth. Are you a participant in the Search? Please forgive me, I did not know. Time spins and time dilutes, worlds are lost and worlds are found again. Have you found the world? [the traditional request to someone participating in the Search for the mythical Earth.] My position, young Advent, is an Advanced Mind Controller in the One Great Army.

[if you would like to answer the question about the Search, here are the two proper responses:

Times spins worlds in and out of knowledge, for this time, the world is lost to us.

or

Times spins hardship and victory, in this time the world has been found. the world has been found.

i dont think i need to tell you which one to respond with if your answer is yes or no.]

oh, by the way, do you remember the Transcedia? (here's a hint, look left)

The Transcendia? No, we have not come across anything by that name. What is it?

on Aug 14, 2009

It is one of the great capitol ships of the Unity, which fall easily under phase missile attack.  The Transcendia in specific was a Halcyon Carrier, which fell at the battle of Ganymede to the Korigul, the Sinistra, and several other Kortul battleships and Jarrasul Evacuators.

Time spins worlds to and from our view.  As we speak, the world is spinning closer. Ever closer.

on Aug 14, 2009

Men? Why should I think of men? They are useful, after a fashion, for the succession of the race and the manning of the more miniscule psionic tasks, but in general, what is their purpose? They are only here to allow us to breed.

That reminds me. What do you do to TEC POWs?

Is the Unity participating in the search for Earth?

I was mistaken. You are not in the Search.

Battle?!? The Unity has not entered battle yet! Are you sure you are feeling right? I believe I will prescribe you a treatment right now, in fact. These fake memories are dangerous.

Trader Prisoners of War? Well, when we collect some, we will search them for a psionic resonance. if we find one, we will procure the necessary treatments and inject them. if we don't we will kill it and find another. The Unity is not wasteful, and the universe belongs only to the Unity. The High One is in agreement with us on this. All the Silent Ones must be purged.

how long until the Unity is victorious over its enemies?

on Aug 14, 2009

There is much you do not know, then, child.  For there are certain things which must be kept from even the Coelescence.  Forgive me, I assumed that you were of strong enough mind to have been among ussss...

Art thou related with any single ship recently?

Time spins mystery and accomplishment. For now, the Search continues. Time is meaningless. We will be victorious when we are victorious. We have been waiting for one thousand years, we can wait a while longer. For now, I would concentrate on the time needed to reach our enemies, not defeat them.

[before the war, obviously]

i have heard whispers and murmurs through the unity of a third species. what do you know about them?

Yes, the Atlantean fleet destroyed strange ships some time back. They appeared through a wormhole, but the phase lane connecting the two wormholes was damaged, and it will be a long time before the phase lane repairs itself. so for now, the wormhole is nothing. I cannot say what those creatures were, for they were obviously not of the Trade Order, but we have no animosity towards them, if they do not block our Reemergence.

That knowledge is for I to know and thee to but wonder.  Note I never said we are higher than the Coalesci, but instead more powerful.  Our power is quite greater than the sum of its parts, for there be an item of great power and antiquity within our possession.  The only thing that I will say unto thee is this: We are those who keep the shadows at bay.  We are those who hold back the monsters of the mind.  We are the Protectors of all that be.  I... I am become death, destroyer of worlds.

Now, thee hath failed to answer mine question.  Art thou affiliated, or otherwise related to any one ship among the fleets of the Unity?

[dammit, CI, i was fishing for that story. i want to know how they closed the wormhole. back to the character. it takes place less than 5 years before the advent invasion. that's as localized sa we can get i think. i also think the place is the middle of space. they are flying towards trader space, and may be in mostly unknown parts]

[really, orodum. quoting the bhagavad gita, or more recently, oppenheimer? had to throw that one in there?]

what do you think about the new high coalescent?

There are no beings stronger in psionic power than the Coalesci. That is why they are Coalesci. And I will not answer to you, you who pretends to hold such power but cannot even read my mind.
