[OOC Board] Eternal Galaxy: Phoenix

Maybe to non Caeles it appears maze like?
That would explain why no one has ever seen it all.

Maybe people can see it, but there's the huge maze in the way, and it's guarded ala Minotaur style. One could theoretically get through it, but it would take quite a while, especially if it's guarded with the guardian trying to attack you the whole time, making it near impossible to get through.

Or maybe...
it's hidden by an illusion.
Perhaps there's a few "levels" to it.

First challenge is to first get there.
Easier said than done.
I would think Venturia would have left at lest one sure way of getting there.
Possibly tied to the GAIA Computer...
A separate component of the GAIA Computer...
And it might be near where it is right now...
...In the Sanctuary.
Perhaps if one enters the Sanctuary through the Halls of Darkness, an alternative version is found that-
...has the GAIA Computer's Rift Gate accessible.
And the Halls of Darkness are guarded by Demonarcs.
So there's the first step.

Second up, the Illusion that is the Passages of Fate.
So the hope here is that after all of that, finding the Passages of Fate (which pretty much allows for traveling in time, see past/present/future, etc etc.) would be reward enough.
Now if you somehow break through the illusion that is in place to hide Heaven's Forge, then you would enter the next step.

Third up is the part that would resemble a labyrinth. Guarded by... illusions and various artificial entities, getting through this is more a brain bender and cannot be plowed through by brute force. Consider it a filter to keep out those not intelligent enough to be worth the Caeles' time. Of course, in the spirit of making it seem like this would still be the end of the line, there are still grand rewards to persuade one to not try and go any further.

The final part is where the Caeles live. The true Heaven's Forge. Because I never intended on any character really reaching this place... I never really thought about how it would be or what it would look like...

@Kristia

Well, I try to get on here at any opportunity. Of course, that will change soon. The job opportunities here are a lot better than the ones in the Alamogordo area. I guess this at least gives me the opportunity to get work done on the PALADIN Arc. It's hardly halfway done, even though I've been working hard on it. -.-;;

Like Sustic said, SPARTAN-IIs are really as powerful as I made them out to be, especially when partnered with an AI. It's just that The Didact is EVEN MORE powerful. XD

For example, The Didact's armor is so durable that it can shrug off a storm of armor piercing rounds as if they were foam darts. The only reason John was able to stab thriugh The Didact's eyepiece is because the kinetic energy of a SPARTAN-II's punch is roughly equivalent to getting shot by a .950 JDJ (approx. 52,450 Joules. A Barret .50 cal sniper rifle has approx. 20,195 Joules.). Even then, all of that force had to be concentrated into the very tip of a knife. 0-0

If you thought John was OP, the Didact would quickly change your mind. It always goes to show that there is always a bigger fish. There is always someone stronger or faster than you, and as powerful as they are, SPARTAN-IIs are no exception. ;p

Then again, The Didact is a hyper-advanced alien, and is one of the highest ranking members of his species. It's no wonder he is so dangerous. He took on an entire team of the best SPARTAN-IIs... Still not faster than Kelly though. :p



@Cucoo

What would happen if someone does reach The Caeles? Would they be hostile?

I would guess they would be surprised at first, considering the circumstances.

@ S1 + Mima
Suprised, yes. If you managed to reach them by your own will, then they would be slightly impressed and would give you the time of day. But that would probably be it. They still would consider anything not Caeles to be inferior to them.

And I think I sorted out the situation with Venturia herself.
First, when they found out she put in that bit of code that would generate new beings when the Phoenix Code activated, they banished her to live among her creations.
Because she had to flee back into Heaven's Forge before the second Phoenix Incident, they then banned her from doing anything more in the Galaxy as punishment.

And then there's Anankerisa...
two things probably happened. Venturia sent her to help the Venturians fight the Nihiliods. Unfortunately, Sol found her first and...he manipulated her views on "how to help."

@Cucoo

That sounds good to me.

What do you think Venturia thought when the plan backfired? :confused:




@Kristia

Check my previous post.

@s1
When her Anankerisa plan backfired?
Probably the same when the second Phoenix incident happened: "This is not as I intended..."

I did read it utsuh, but I´m busy with a school project -_-;

@Kristia

Ahh, ok.

I was just making sure because I'm using a phone. I'll admit, it might sound like a stupid reason, but it's really hard trying to type messages on this tiny phone, so I worry that nobody will see my messages. :p

I've got wide fingertips, so when I press buttons, I press one, plus one or two. XD

Anyway, I wish you luck on your project. What is it about?

It´s about the difference as a cause of violence in general

in difference, we mean everything, race, gender, social class, etcetera, that would cause violence from verbal abuse to whole wars

So today I went to interview a psychology teacher (didn´t feel ok to interview my own doctor) and I´m sending the recording to one of my teammates.

Meanwhile I´m doing a presentation for Thursday while checking what I got on my notebook

All of that and continuing my story on the side

EDIT: And I will go to bed earlier than usual

School has been taking a toll on my mind and body, work has been easier ironically, mostly because I´m dealing with kids again (I finished the office part faster than expected) and the kids had this thing to know when the big people need them calm.

So I´m going to hit the couch with what I hope are good dreams, cya ^^
