Be seated, all of you,” Faetalis started, as she took her seat at her desk, and motioned to the sofas for company, “There’s much to discuss,” Faetalis looked sternly ahead, “The first matter is that of the Anzelgard - Scapegoat of the Nyll Empire. Due to the sudden decrease of the bauxite ore, they’ve sent an envoy to do an inspection. As such, we’re going to need to come to a decision: shall we annex Anzelgard and bring her into our protection and possession, or shall we allow Anzelgard to be damned and crushed under the booted heel of her queen’s father?

Either way, we shall be forced to take arms against the Nyll Empire, and make this place a proper stronghold,” Faetalis says, “To that effort, I’ve formed a blueprint,” she extended her hand, and summoned blueprints to each of her Overseers, and spread out her own, “which will bring you to a new position with new responsibilities, and grander freedoms that you currently possess.

Faetalis stood up, “Infinifactorium. In the hallowed halls of Infactorium, you are Overseers of your Super Being’s Factory. Now, you shall become Supervisors of your own Factory; these two Floors under your direct command and desires. However, you will have these objectives above all else...

Stepping from behind the desk, Faetalis removed the barrier that separated her “Overseers” from her “Super Being”. As “Supervisors”, she wanted to display that they stood on even ground in the room with her, as she explained to them how the floors were to be arranged, how they were to support each other in the ascending path, and how they were to, above all else, do their level best, and never fear failure.

Once it was all said and done, Faetalis would reach into her chest, and remove their elevator keys from her core. “These are Soulbound Keys. Artifacts, handcrafted by me, personally,” she says, “To take them into your possession shall link your soul and mine. If I bleed, you shall know. If you bleed, I shall know. Here, we are equals.

Faetalis extended her right hand, and the five keys fell on chains that were attached to her fingertips. “Accept them, for I believe you are worthy of them.
....writer's block.
Look at Gamma being cute in the form of the creature I hate the most in life. XD

Officially, I can get started on the next cycle, now! After work... God, adulting.
@Stern Algorithm

S'all good. I meant to ping the other day, but life's hectic with work and an upcoming vacation. Glad to see yer still here, though. XD
I swear, Mae and her Staff are pretty much exactly what I imagine the Madolche monsters to be like in the Duel Spirit World.
@The Irish Tree

Oh snap, I thought a timeskip happened. Uuuuuuh I'll make some edits within the next few days I guess?

Edits are made! I replaced basically the dungeon layout stuff with a tidbit about some new Cyber Skeletons that Tungsten has created. I also made their unit schematics in my CS if y'all wanna give that a glance over.


A timeskip did happen, yes. But, only once. I probably could have done a better job with illustrating that, Infinifactorium is what Faetalis was doing over the timeskip, and not that a new one had taken place.

For that, I do apologize. It's been hell at work, with one of my most recent shifts being 11 hours and 27 minutes from noon to 11:27 PM. So, I was just trying to get my own thoughts on paper, while giving y'all something to think about.

As soon as the reveal is made, you are free to go absolutely wild, though. Within reason, of course, lol

I absolutely appreciate the effort, though. I'm glad you put that much stock into your two floors. Helps me stay inspired to do this.

Infinifactorium is a successor design to Infactorium, but the actual factory will remain the same. So, the Gorging Trough, for instance, won't be scraped, but instead extended into this new section under Mae's direct control and design; in essence, Mae, as with the others, will be ascended from just Overseers of their Factory to Supervisors of two full floors, and obtain the title: [Miniboss], as opposed to [Elite Mob].

As for expectations? I have none, beyond be creative with your characters and your space. Circling back to Mae, she could use her new space for farming, and create an unique day and night cycle to raise Darkness-touched plants and animals, or use the depth and pressure to invent new cooking styles and modifications to the buffs and debuffs over her food.

The possibilities are endless. But, I have no desire to levy expectations on any of you, so you aren't pressured to preform. Just work within a reasonable limitations, as the additions are new, and not yet known to any of you, until the new cycle. Faetalis has been working in secret on this by just telling Gammatron what she needs dug out, and telling Tungsten how to construct the elevator; you'll be getting your keys in the next GM post.
It would seem depression and writer's block go hand-in-hand (so cute XD - not >:T ), but I've broken both of them for the time beings. A very expository post, but nevertheless, I think everyone will kinda like what I'm aiming for. It's still the first story beat from the source material, but I'm taking it in a direction of actively refining the Guild Hall, instead of JUST possessing territory, and giving everyone a lot more room to grow outside of their factories.

So, I think, I can safely say, I'm back in the saddle.

Anger could fuel a lot of things: decisions; needs; means; wars. Justified Anger compounded that fuel - enriched it - and Faetalis was marching by the fuel just that, as she returned to Infactorium, and slammed into her seat. Her return did not go unnoticed - the denizens of Hivehill took notice of her first, as she entered the tunnels to the elevator; a veritable maze she had Gammatron dig out with an central meeting point for the elevator shaft, and seemingly countless of false ends that were stationed with Soldier Ants.

Cyberskeleton could sense her virus data trying to breach theirs like an Aura of Terror, as she rose up; bypassing each of the layers in between the bottom and top floors that would serve as one of the ten floors combat floors of Infactorium’s successor:

Infinifactorium

A work-in-progress that would function like your standard Dungeon, staffed by her Overseers and their own unique tastes.

It was broken into 6 Sections:

A-F1 and A-F2: Gammatron could staff to her general style and liking; though, Faetalis would suggest employing a mixture of her Soldier Ants and Drone Ants to defend the first floor and the maze, while she, herself, and her best units would defend the second floor in the first Miniboss fight.

If Gammatron were to fall and her <Elevator Key: B Section> be obtained, they would gain access to the next two floors.

B-F1 and B-F2: Tungsten would staff these two floors with set-up much like Gammatron, as Faetalis would suggest; employing Sentry Cyberskeletons and Soldier Cyberskeleton to pick at and off numbers, while Tungsten, himself, and a squadron of BIGs awaited the survivors.

If Tungsten were to fall, his <Elevator Key: C Section> would be rewarded.

C-F1 and C-F2: Levia would shine here; above the heated geothermal reactors of the B Section, and below the ever-working forges of the D Section and kitchens of the E Sections is where her Slimes would best feed and breed and grow into the threats to soften their prey up for the Queen of DoT (Dead on Trash) upon her throne.

If Levia were to fall, her <Elevator Key: D Section> would be rewarded.

D-F2 and D-F1: Cormac would hold down the fort here with an assembly of Soldier Cyberskeletons and Soldier Ants, now adorned in his handiwork, and geared to the teeth to present a much grander challenge to the intruders; those that reached him with face the Titan’s Might of Mór Brionnú and solo the giant in his molten element.

If Cormac were to fall, his <Elevator Key: E Section> would be rewarded.

E-F1 and E-F2: Mae would be stationed here, with the Gorging Trough divided into two sections, and defended by Mae and her Kitchen Staff upon the second and her Wait Staff upon the first. Tables lined with food - rich with Buffs; laden with Debuffs; lovingly crafted by the Head Chef herself to facilitate the demise of those that made it so far.

If Mae were to fall, her <Elevator Key: F Section> would be rewarded.

And, that would open the elevator to the Final Section: Faetalis’s Domain. A boss fight in three phases:

First: MinMaxine in a replication of the Overseers that she oversaw as the Supervisor, employing patterned combat moves from each of the Overseers from the floors below. At 10% HP, MinMaxine would retreat, and Faetalis would step out.

Second: Faetalis would take on the party in an almost insulting manner, unconcerned by their very presence before her own. However, if taken to 25% HP, Faetalis wii incit as DPS Check as she readies a Tank Buster; upon success, she will TPK, while failure will result in a retreat.

Third: This final phase will see MinMaxine and Faetalis as a tag-team, in which MinMaxine takes on the form of her Supreme Being, and offers healing magic and ranged support while Faetalis takes on an aggressive role.

If MinMaxine is taken down first, Faetalis will enter the Eldritch Machina Form by invoking a Super Tier Magic.

If Faetalis goes down first, MinMaxine will sacrifice herself, and merge with Faetalis to revive her in the form of The Fleshen Colossus.

Depending on the form she is defeated in, Faetalis will drop Legendary Components for Magic Gear in her Eldritch Machina Form or Physical Gear in her Fleshen Colossus Form.

Either form would drop her <Main Office Key> and allow, in YGGDRASIL Online, the claim to Infactorium to transfer to the victorious party’s leader.

However, she never intended to allow that to happen...

This was the plan she had formed over the week of thinking, revising, and scheming. The only hitch was that MinMaxine had yet to awaken from her [Comatose] affliction, and remained in her [Dormant] state at 1 HP.

Morosely, Faetalis stroked the sleeping slime, before she steeled herself. It was time to plan the annexation of Anzelgard. Either by violence or by peace, the ruined kingdom would come under her control, and be her first targeted assault against the Nyll Empire.

That meant, it was time for an Emergency Meeting.
