To Dr G: *his vision is flooded with memories of his greatest failures and trauma, including Roro, in order to break the mind-control* please, please work, everything is splitting apart. They need all of the help they can get, Doctor, please wake up

I'll share later a number of a page that proves that might not be right , but at least not wrong

Archeus

COMMAND My offer was rejected by villains of this story. Well, let me prove that was a wrong move: I project an image of a snake into Keth's mind, which appears to lie there seemingly disinterested in anything, including the growing LIE that Keth spins. Snake-Keth: "I'm sssorry for the intrusssion, but the place Behind the Ssscreen is a mess right now - lotsss of blaming and finger-pointing, that kind of thing - and all i want is little bit of ressst. You, on the other hand, have this Nice Little LIE you made there - a little world there everyone matter and belong, your nurturing side praised and appreciated. But..I wonder what would you need say to yourself to truly believe that you matter. Cause if it's a love for Voxotaur or what he meant to you, don't bother. This is my final gift to you , my TRUTH - to say how we put your cravings for submission, need for Vox's touch and maybe even love inside you , like tinkerer puts new part inside tinker box.

Archeus

((again, I'm gonna work with Lee for what I want to do)) I grab the back of the bull patron's and make out with him while I let him apply the changes to both our bodies. We wanna lock our slutty brains from other nasty patrons joining 'cuz we want these toys all to ourselves!! When we're done we both take the shortest way to the 2nd floor where we can get all that juicy zorc cum in us! It can be the tunnels, or the elevator shafts, but we wanna get there ASAP!!

Quazy Danny

Fuck you, would you prefer I try to kill the monsters instead of making them feel bad for doing bad selfish things? Rude posts like this will do it.

Crowbar

I stop and erase any illusions affecting the ARMS/Gastro. (Specifically, Retronicus and Crowbar) I then interrupt mid-sentence, and tell Gastro: "Ignore them. They’re just throwing a tantrum over things they don’t understand. Listen, I’m sure you’re more than sick of our shit at this point. So lets just focus on the task at hand and finish this up."

Rick

Open the Ghoul-Gate!!!!

((We can bring him back with Keth if we need to.))

WorgenRouge

If Sydan flies off I think he'll be defenseless, Truthsayer is faster than a speeding bullet, no matter how fast or how far he travels Sydan will be in danger, and the farther away from his friends the less we can help him.

Austin Wonderer

*I dispel any negative illusions cast on Gastro* Gastro… I… a lot of us patrons, are feeling sad, angry, confused… a little hurt by what you just did. I was rooting for you and Jack, and I don’t understand why this had to happen. He just turned over a new leaf, he was going to fight for the good side. But, Jack didn’t die just for you to fall into despair. Don’t make his death pointless. He wanted you happy and strong. Please don't forget that.

RexFurry

[EDIT, Again: I just realized that Wings' request, the whole reason I changed things here, might not actually work. He's only an in-universe drone, he may not actually have the power to prevent the patrons from doing anything. In that case, I'd like to stick with the original request I am so sorry.] (Alright, take three here. Less spiteful this time, mostly the same idea, and absolutely better this way. BC, please change my command to the following:) Gastro/Arms: Hey, I know that this is going to sound insane, but can you try to convince the Truthsayer into freeing the Eye and the Fingers? Normally that would be impossible, but between his mind being muddled by the Zorc virus and his recent obsession with the feelings of love, there might be something of an opportunity here. I would do it myself, but we’re being blocked from communicating with him right now. Freeing them would probably be the best way to fix Harvey, and just the delay would also give Keth a little more time to pull off his Houdini act. I want to end this too, but I don’t know if you can safely free them by just killing the Truthsayer and I don’t want to see anyone else get dragged down by this guy.

Synclonic

I gotta ask for clarification here, is your intention to prevent people from talking directly with the Truthsayer? Or is it just about preventing illusions?

Synclonic

Seeing as how the traitors have teamed up, I think the good guys should too. I'd love to help create a happy ending that our boys deserve. On a side note, would it really be right to tell Keth to love whoever we say to? He's in love with us so even if we leave him with our "representative" it wouldn't be the same thing. Using the eyes to grab a person's consciousness from the past seems like an interesting idea, but I wonder if it's possible? If it is I kind of want to do that with Jack, his death was so sudden so I'm trying to grasp at any possibility to bring him back somehow.

Cid

#3 I guess

WorgenRouge

NOT A DIALOGUE OR COMMAND. Also I’m sorry for a long piece of text. Amazing storytelling, BC! I’m always not sure what predictions will come true. Especially bad ones. Please, keep surprising us with your story and art! And now back to practical matters…it’s now or never. It’s a relief that we escaped some edgy situation there with Sydan and Gastro. Though who would’ve thought it would be so bitter. Poor, poor Jack. Even seeing Sydan out of Voice’s reach doesn’t help the matter. And it won’t get better, because you could only place so much trust on beings with mind-corrosive presence. As for this week’s command I’ll let you lot decide instead of me from the next list. (Now I have to warn you that I will try use at least one of them so choose carefully.): 1) Alarm Truthsayer of incoming threat from Zorc King or Voxotaur. Maybe adding all their locations and everything we know about them so far. 2) The moment Sydan/Heart gets self-counscious enough for a coherent thought, I’ll proceed to do next: Either by playing on his gratitude or by bombarding his senses, I’m going to convince him to grant Zorc King a Piece of Infinity. Why, both him and Voxotaur, our old ally. (Before we move on to #3, I want to explain why it is a very BAD idea) 2.1) While I’m unsure of how it’s possible (most certainly because the Being in question is lending its powers or forced to do so) I’m quite sure that adding Heart power to Voxotaur’s collection will surely make him pop like a balloon. All because of immeasurable power. (If it will not be the case..) 2.2) Even the extensions of Heart’s infinity are treated as The Heart itself. We chose not to grant its powers to anybody in fear that Truthsayer would have advantage at hacking the Heart that way. But now I want to play that wild card. Giving them both its pieces will resolve in Heart = Zorc King and Heart = Voxotaur. The moment all three ( or at least Voxotaur) are linked, Heart becomes the bearer of two conflicting diseases. We have three possible outcomes here: Heart’s new predatory essence will either engulf source of zorc virus or Voxotaur’s will be brought back to it’s old form. Or Sydan/Heart will go mad from the process. In any way that won’t be pleasant for all parties. (If it will not be the case…) 2.3) Pieces of Infinity are unstable outside its Heart’s host. Whoever possess it will slowly, but surely mutate into something unstable and alien altogether. After the body might even be unsuitable for hosting us. 3) I slide into the Truthsayer’s body to test some things and join his ranks temporarily. The creation of a new separate drone.

Archeus

[I just first of all want to say sorry about Jack. I didn't think this would happen. Secondly I want to thank BC for all his hard work. The comics been amazing and I hope you are doing alright there in Italy]

Muku

As the Winged Drone: I'll act as support, clearing the Truthsayers mind and blocking any outside atemts of intrusion or interference with our mind sence or otherwise [locking other patreons out, except for those already in here, like Vox did only this is probably just going to be temporary] and warn him about the Zork king/ Shydan and the potential cure. We might not be able to heal the hole but we can rebuild. [rebuild only if it's possible, the main focus is keeping things clear of mind. Also Muku use the ball of Zork virus for the Jack minions]

Chuck: For the love of God you useless skeleton himbo, move your ass and blast Keth with goo and out of this battlefield before Gastro murders him

AnotherMeekOne

As the Gorilla Drone: "You killed him once, can your heart bare to kill him again" I modify the Zork virus in the bubble to not be affected by the Zork King, then spatter goops of it that turn into Jack's to fight Gastro and the others. Relaying the info on the heart and the warning about not getting to close the Zork king so that we can make our escape.

Muku

((THIS WALL OF TEXT IS FOR THE PATRONS (and BC if he wants) DETAILING MY DREAM TO MAKE A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PATRONS IN THE STORY)) So I've been dreaming of making the Voxotaur an intermediary between us and the monsters for a long time. For them to listen to what we want to do and decide whether the monsters would like it or not. I know its possible, if I got a hold of a body with the power of the FINGERS and VOICE at least. But like the idiot I was, I entered subject 9 with the intent of saving our monster friends, instead of being selfish and doing this dream. So ever since, for the past few months I've been stuck doing the right thing, rather than doing the FUN thing I've been meaning to try. So I've been asking other people to try and help out, joining vessels and working towards this goal )'cuz it sounds pretty good!) It SEEMS possible to convert a vessel into a conscious person, if you restore its mind to what it used to be, or if you give it sentience, a personality and memories. We can't be sure the VOICE can just make an empty body be sentient, but we wouldnt have to if we join his powers with the EYES, and peer into the past, grab the mind of people who get absorbed or killed, and bring it into an empty body made by the FINGERS. And from there, we can mold the personality, maneurisms and the memories of the person we make, so we can ensure they help the monsters and they use their powers to HELP the people of this world, rather than do what the VOICE or FINGERS did. PLUS, on top of it all, we get to give Keth a representation of us, that will stay with him after the screen closes and the story finishes. We can leave something in this universe that will keep it safe and interesting. There's A LOT more details to this plan of mine, and thats why I need help from other people. EVEN IF i grabbed a vessel with all of these powers, I'm still restrained by a command only 6 lines long.

((Sad as it was, it was the death he wanted. I think maybe he could’ve lived a full live and done some good, won’t argue with that, but he was also ready and wanting to move on too. He even got to say his final goodbye. I think this is the right ending for him. ))

WorgenRouge

Gastro:I'm Sorry to put this on you Right now but the Truthsayer & The Traitors are targeting Sydan & The HEART I Beg of you please End This Don't even give him the chance to Act Obliterate him! Save Your Pack! Save the World! Also avoid the arm Holding Keth. I Don't know if him and the void Could survive a Hit from the ARM'S. Also I'd like to apologize for Jack I'm sure thinks could have gone differently but not all of the voices are on your side. If only we could all work together nobody would have had to suffer I Beg You for Forgiveness Gastro as a Loyal member of your pack"

Gastro: Take heed Gastro, within the Tome's pages contains the key to this WORLD's salvation. Ready yourself for the worst, you'll stumble across many atrocities Jack was forced to commit. ARMS: Hello. Um know this must be little off-putting for a Patron to appear before you in this form, ARMS. Most of us do apologize for the rude awakening. Quick question! Do your powers completely destroy the SOUL too, or just the BODY? ((Fortify Jack's Tome to be indestructible so that not even Gastro or ANY outside forces can easily rid/deface it.))

Fe5ter

Some passing thoughts as I was reading this amazing update. I'm glad we get to see the amazing Duke again even if he is a fake. I really had hoped he would've joined our monster gang. I'm still holding out hope that the Duke is alive because if you don't see a character die then they're not dead. That Monilius and Zorc King interaction was surprisingly arousing. I hope there's more in the next update. I need someone like Bido in my life, that dude is funny as shit. Seeing as how we've interacted with ghosts maybe there's a chance that Jack becomes a ghost. He may not have a physical body anymore, but I'd love to talk with him some more. A reason why this probably won't happen is that it would undermine the moment that Gastro had and Jacks final message. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Cid

I replace Arms entire reality with an illusion, a perverted fantasy. Perception of time itself seems to slow down to a crawl in the real world, seconds in reality become days in fantasy, minutes feel like weeks or even years. The illusion mentally links Arms, Heart, Truthsayer and Void together; all four can see and feel everything that happens in this fantasy as if it was real, but none can control it. Arms is given a sexy avatar like Hearts, except his is more beefy and hunky (Truthsayer and Void get an avatar too). In this fantasy the eldritch beings are all stuck in a pleasure paradise together, powerless to do anything besides participate in an endless hedonism driven orgy - always horny, love-drunk (n' booze drunk), passionate, extremely kinky, mindbogglingly pleasurable, but inescapably tender and loving.

Retronicus

Woof. Noooooo, Gastro why didn't you try to rescue Jack, you were supposed to fight for him ;_;

RexFurry

Wow... that was... heartbreaking. I did not expect Jack to die, I really didn't want him to either. I wanted him to live so that he could finally be happy again with Gastro, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. The worst part is that we're the ones who killed him and that just makes it even sadder. I don't know if there is any chance to bring him back, but R.I.P. Jack, you deserve it. *I disable all the Truthsayers senses and enter his mind so we can speak 1 on 1* Truthsayer: Why do you have to cause so much needless suffering? I cannot comprehend why you hate us so much; all the other beings love us. What did we do to you that made you want to destroy everything? We accept you for who you are faults and all, but that isn't good enough for you apparently. Seeing you destroyed will bring me a great deal of heartache, so much potential just wasted. But you really leave us with no other choice, I hope the hatred that fuels you is finer company than what we have to offer. I was contemplating whether or not to speak to the ghosts but I really need to find out why the Truthsayer is like this. (Sigh) Why did Jack have to die? :( EDIT: I want to enter as the suit Voxotaur from the time with Jack, suit Voxotaur is life (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Cid

Too many patrons are trying to take hold of the story, I'd like to put power back to those in it. Instead of trying to play hero, we should be working with them in a more supportive role

Yoked Coder

I haven't tried to do anything in awhile since I'm so lost on what I could do but I should at least try. If possible I'd like to trick Monilius's motor senses on balance to make their arm move backwards and stab Sydan/HEART with the cure, if they are not close enough, throwing it at them, preventing any attempts to destroy the cure.

Yoked Coder

(Okay here goes nothing) I want to first grab the dragon drones shoulder and perform these alterations on both of us: lock our minds from further patron intrusions, make us deaf, and make our skin sensitive to changes in the air so we can still sence when someone is approaching us from out of sight. (You only have to add this if we make it to floor two right away) Use the voice on all the scientists, "All right boys ATTENTION! If you got any cure slather it on your cocks and stuff us with as many as you can! If you dont got any yet then work double time boys, your daddies hunger!"

Lee Evergreen

(R.i.p Jack. That was unexpected but it makes killing the Truthsayer 100x easier Keth is in the Voids little pocket space or whatever so he should be fine if we just OBLITERATE The Truthsayer. I'm not gonna leave a comman right now. I'll Do it in the morning when I wake up But I'll probably try to Help Sydan Snap outta his Daze. Try to reason with the Truthsayer while I can. Talk with the Voxotaur and Try to convince him to stop. Or Ask Gastro/The Arm's to obliterate The Truthsayer on the spot.) (Good Chapter as Always BC😊)

Poor jack. Well, if anyone was gonna die, it'd be a literal antagonist that people only spared cause he's a hot wolf guy. Thank you zorc king for finally nabbing that monilius. He's so cute, he deserves a good mind fuck. Fire off every lustful cylinder on ol monilius. Every nerve on his demonic body that can feel pleasure. I'm down for this scene

Newt

(BC, this has been incredible. I just wanted to start with that. I kind of don’t know what else to say, so I’m going with this. Sorry for a long one.) Truthsayer: "As we approach the end of things here one way or another, I wanted to toss a thought over your way. A while ago you said that your brothers had been corrupted by the influence of the apes, or us, I guess, but I don’t think you were immune to that corruption either. Where they absorbed our kindness and curiosity, I feel like you took in our rage and misery, and have suffered greatly for it. And now as the fires spread and the ship sinks, I feel the need to express some sorrow for you, whether you accept it or not. I wanted to convey this message to you under different circumstances, but I doubt that you’ll be getting the chance to ever feel love again. That said, if you ever want to learn anything more about love before it’s too late, my advice (as much as I think you won’t take it) would be to free your brothers, to not force them to drown with you." [EDIT: Please see my comment below.]

Synclonic

Keth: *I wanna help him visualize the web of lies he is trying to create. I want to make what he is thinking about creating into a 3d model hovering in front of him* "Hey, Keth, I know you should eventually learn to do it on your own, but right now your life is in danger and all that, so no harm in trying to make it easier, I hope this helps!" *I make him feel and hear a kiss on his forehead*

Hinner

I’ve never been so emotionally invested in a story before and if I want to save these characters I’m going to fucking do something about it. Please disregard my last comment Boss. To Voices and all drones: I curse you Voices, I curse you and all your drones. All 5 of your senses are silent. In the dark, gravity will not be your anchor. You will forever have such extreme vertigo that all your actions are now directed solely back to yourself, including that viral flesh orb. You are now free from this world that you so loathe. Never again will you feel the comfort or love it can offer. I know this was incredibly dramatic but I was just feeling it! Can’t wait to see whats next

( i would kindly ask you to dont. Because if you do that and i will use all my powers to make this minotaur apocalypse come true... and i will destroy the only way for you all to fix this mess. the eyes.... I mean it -_-. )

(Opinions and overall gushing: This was a nice chapter! Thank you to that one person who saved Lucas! Some folks sole intent are starting a lust apocalypse with the Locked Vox. Uh good luck? Harvey is a fat gumdrop but at least his mind is ok. Can't wait to fix him. Legion calling Keth his student gives me life, love it. A patron was trying to get him to stop calling us master and actually get angry but we've made it clear that we are mutiple entities several times. It's not fair to blame us as a whole when it's 1 or 2 guys against you. Regarding Keth calling us master that's up to him, plus we don't have an actual name besides patrons really. Everything regarding Gastro was GREAT. Overall solid chapter as always. Some of us need to stop Locked Vox now before his army even starts locking (haha) him in place sounds like a good place to start. Other than that just keep the boys safe really, Keth should be getting out soon and Sydan's getting cured. All the necessary parts will be together to beat the truthsayer me thinks)

GASTRO: *A patron in the form of another werewolf attempts to comfort the grieving man.* I'm so sorry, mate. Sorry you ‘ad to make that choice, that we couldn’t do more. Yew did the righ’ thing- if you ‘ad been caught, the entire world woulda ended. Yew set him free, gave ‘im the peace he wanted. We're gon'a make sure his sacrifice weren’t fer nothin’. Talked wit’ Harvey, 'e's seen better days but I gave him a place in his mind to get away from it all. He’ll be alright, I’ll make sure if it. Your friends are behind yew, and I know yew can do dis. *I do my best to make sure that Gastro's sight remains functional. I also do whatever I can to protect the book, Jack’s final gift, keeping it legible and intact, indestructible.*

( Sent him over to me and I promise to end this once and for all, and no. No tricks, No backstabs. Why, simple I dont want the Voice's to win no matter what, and I'm willing for an agreement )

Xeralex

As you enter into the facility, you decide to make some more changes into Vox's body, some to turn all this against the favor of the Truthsayer once and for all. With the power of the voice, finger and eyes, you grant the body immunity to patrons harmfull illusion powers and slowly gift it with a personality and conscience of it's own: Your name is Vox, use your powers to protect the monsters, stop the Truthsayer, take all the power he owned and release all he devoured, use it all to stop him! claim the heart, Never let other patrons inside you again! And so inside this body's void Vox's slowly born, sleeping until you wake it up.

Xeralex

I blind all of Gastro's senses, specifically his sight, all he can see is a swarm of his dead lover – anguished, angry, tearing up that fucking book. Gastro : I thought you were the fucking hero, what a joke, you’re just dumb nobody. All you had to do is nothing, nothin, just wait a few minutes and Jack could have been saved. But you took the easy way out, just destroy all your problems – oh don’t wince, I’m sure you’ll have a good retort for this, some pathetic hollow justification dripping with sappy emotional bullshit. Pack killer.

Maybe I will reconsider this post later but I'm pretty steamed so black hat it is

Crowbar

*I gently part my lips from Monilius, then stay away from him and avoid contact with the syringe.* Monilius: The other patron inside this body wants to fuck your ass, so you better run. *I move over to Sydan and lock lips with him, feeling up his body and pressing mine against his* Sydan: You're really sexy when you're chubby, ya know? The Truthsayer's mind was just restored and he's looking for you. I have the power to stop him and protect you, so you should stay with me. *I want to run off to the other monsters. should the truthsayer or the drones enter my range, I'll say the command word and command their instantly infected bodies to stop*

Neth Rusiki Azhti

I'd imagine you're still in there. There at least wasn't any message mentioning you being wiped out and being brought back on the other side of the screen like the winged drone. Having said that, I'm not entirely sure what the arms power of prohibiting your regeneration will do as it still seemed like the newly entered winged drone could manipulate the body and remove the zork infection.

Xeralt

oh my god GASTROOOOO I can't believe how moved I am by this. Okay, the real question is, if the Arms give the power to destroy anything, and Gastro can also perceive time however he wants... is there a way to use that ability to get at the Zorc virus, as well? Can it destroy on a micro level? I guess consider that I'm talking to Gastro and/or the Arms when I say this. I know there are some more pressing matters going on at the moment, but this shit matters too, we've got to find a way to free the Heart from the virus's influence or Sydan is totally boned, too!

Shiny Skunk

Gastro that was amazing, you and the arms really did great. But your not done. The truthsayer is thinking of the hear and will try to go after sydan. You can't let him get away but don't try any finishing blows yet. You have to wait until Keth can escape its body.

Kageichi

Yup, kinda funny that both our heart and Heart are busted at the mo :p

PK Persona

Sorry for the long ass comment and boring plan everyone but I'm really trying to avoid Gastro killing Keth and Harvey. Everyone else is in HUGE danger too as the Patreons kinda know where they are even if blinded. I'm honestly not sure what else there is to do.

PK Persona

Okay just to be clear, is the heart function still broken for anyone else?

Crowbar

Well fuck. Coherent Voices with like 4 patreons. Not to mention Voices can probably take over Voxotaur Time body (cant remember if there is a reason he can't). Best I can do is offer a game plan to stall for Fingers virus To everyone: Okay everyone the Truthsayer has just regained concious thought and his intent is on the Heart. The only way we can gain an advantage is to stall him from finding Sydan and the Heart and giving Keth a chance to teleport out. Maybe then we can get Keth to trap the Truthsayer in the prison again and devise a new plan with Void, Arms and Heart!

PK Persona

Ah that smarts. Am I still in the drone or have I been pushed out by that attack?? :o

Heh. Funny, isn't it? You were more effective at manipulating events when you were in pieces on our side of the screen. But here, you're just one being, with one voice, susceptible to every sling and arrow these mortals can throw at you. Face it. We're the best thing that ever happened to you. Do you see?
