A seductive peafowl 'Cubi appears. Peafowl: "Welcome to Nact'larn services... We make your fantasies reality! How can I help you...?" Peafowl: "...Oh. It's YOU again. How did you get this number?" Daryil: "Found it in Tatala. They still have phone booths there." Peafowl: "So...?" Daryil: "So I went round all of them and wrote down the numbers marked 'for a good time call xxxx'." Daryil: "Then I tried them all one by one, and here we are!" Daryil: "Though it IS going to look REALLY weird on our corporate phone bill..."

Quirk explains why the Emperor's ship is a security nightmare in Xerian 2.

Xerian still doesn't understand why Quirk is so good at breaking into the ship's computers Xerian: "But THAT doesn't make sense either! Surely they'd have proofed it against their OWN side's hacking tools, right...?" Quirk: "You'd THINK so, wouldn't...?" Quirk: "Imagine if you will... Or if you CAN... that's you're an insane tyrant dedicated to wiping out inferior members of the protogen race to help 'purify' it." Quirk: "You're going to find out, that after eliminating or imprisoning the deviants who don't fit your ideals, that you won't have a great time maintaining technological superiority, because it turns out the folks who are best at that kind of thing tend to be a bit ODD. Non-conforming." Quirk: "And it gets worse, because if someone DOES spot a problem in that environment, reporting it risks being singled out as a troublemaker and demoted or executed." Quirk: "When all your engineers are too afraid to look for security holes, the data network is going to start resembling a sieve." Lautrec: "That tracks. We cyberjags were originally designed by a totalitarian regime. I've heard stories from older brothers who lived under that system." Lautrec: "It was BRUTAL, and technology evolved slowly unless it was for a specific aim, like making a bunch of disposable feline guards to patrol a military base."

Steve brings the meeting back on track Steve: "Right. The next order of business is AdventureNet. Someone's apparently hacked into it, and is now setting up fake bounties on our adventurers." Jakob: "I see. Hence my invitation here today." Olaf: "Quite. Jayhawk won the tender to write and maintain it. That makes AdventureNet YOUR puppy, and you need to ensure it hasn't gone rabid." Steve: "Several people have lost their heads. Some slain for the bounty, others executed for murdering their fellows." Jakob covers his eyes with gloved hands in despair Jakob: "Shit, shit, SHIT!" Jakob: "Maybe we should shut it down for maintenance until we fix the problem?" Daniel: "Fairwater considered that, but it would also prevent us from bringing the culprit to justice." Josh: "Worse, they'd know we were on to them and switch tactics. He recommended warning the guildmasters privately, while we quietly investigate the problem."

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #ProjectFuture. Find the autodestruct codes around the spaceship. The enemies move much too fast, and there is no power bar...but I stuck a POKE on, found an absorbing game ( that reminds me of Sabre Wulf) and enjoyed myself!

Daryil isn't a dragon but sometimes he wishes he was. And he has enough mass to pretend quite convincingly.

Happy Holidays from the Project Future team!

Ernst lies in his cell, anti-magic bracers to negate his Demon strength. A crack of sunlight moves across the room as the hours pass Ernst: "They CAN'T... Not without a trial, surely...?" The guards check in on him, peering through the bars. One of them sneers at him. Guard: "Soon, Demon! SOON!"

Lautrec sleeps on his bed in a darkened room. Suddenly the wallscreen beeps for an emergency call. Xerian appears on the screen, looking distraught. Lautrec: "Jesus, boss! You look AWFUL! What's happened?" Xerian: "Lautrec... Get here now. Please!" Lautrec: "What?! What's the matter?!" Xerian: "It's 'Zuki! He's disappeared!"

Quirk explains why he assumed Lautrec was a cyborg Quirk: "I mean, you've SEEN the servitor robots here, right? They just run programs and pattern-match." Quirk: "But you...? You've clearly got emotions, or a VERY realistic simulation of them. So I assumed you were a cyborg too." Lautrec: "That's a fair point." Lautrec: "The brain-in-a-jar thing has been tried, actually. But it didn't work out too well." Lautrec: "For you information, I am a Mark 9 CyberJag, and one hundred percent meat-free. Xerian here is my friend and employer, and he is a SYNTH - which is a kind of dragon-like lizard android, If I may put it like that." Lautrec: "Synths don't like being called robots because that implies a menial, non-sentient slave, while WE are certifiably ALIVE in any sense that matters." Quirk: "...I see. The irony is, while I am mostly living tissue, I was built by the Emperor... Specifically to BE a menial, non-sentient slave."

Quirk gives a potted history of the protogen race in Xerian II.
#furry #comics #furryart #ProjectFuture

Previous pages are here: projectfuturecomic.com/xerian2.php?...
Flashback of some obsolete protogens standing mindlessly under a dinghy bridge, as if they had been ordered to get out of their owner's sight with no further orders. One has collapsed. Quirk: "After out useful lives were spent, unwanted protogens were either terminated or simply discarded on the assumption that we'd just wither away and die without orders to obey." Flashback of a group of obviously intelligent protogens plotting something. Rather than their owner's mark in a uniform colour, their shoulder displays are now showing an arrowhead symbol in colours matching the protogens' eyes. One of them has sprayed the resistance symbol on a nearby tree-analogue. Quirk: "But SOME of those abandoned protogens had their mind-control systems fail, and they broke loose. Figured out how to disable the mind-control on their fellows. And they began to raise an army." Flashback of the protogen rebellion in full swing. The resistance symbol has been sprayed on the wall of a destroyed building. The space-tomato growing protogen is now looking beaten-up but wields some kind of high-power energy weapon. The yellow construction worker is also tooled up, and both have had to poach replacement arms from fallen comrades. Quirk: "There was a revolution against our creators and we were able to strike out on our own." Quirk: "Some factions of Progenitors still want to 'fix their mistake' by eradicating us, but most are content to leave us be and let us find our own path."

Quirk pulls himself back together after his combat implants tried to take over. Quirk: "If that ever happens during a combat situation, RUN." Quirk: "Anyway! Were you saying Synths have positronic brains...?" Xerian: "Uh, no... Just very high density neural networks." Xerian: "I don't have one anymore, actually. Mine died and I was transferred into a neural processor array like Lautrec was saying. I have a PANTHER brain now, in fact! It's a long story." Quirk: "Now I'm curious! But we can pick that up later." Quirk: "Anyway, we protogens were built as slaves for the progenitors."

Xerian and Lautrec turn as Quirk enters the room. He is now wearing a latex dress and his claws are painted red. Xerian freaks out. Xerian: "Oh no... Oh no no No NO...." Quirk inspects the frills of his dress happily. Quirk: "What's up? Is there a crease? Did I miss a spot with the polish...?" Lautrec glances worriedly at Xerian, who is curled up on the floor Lautrec: "I don't think it's THAT, Quirk..." Xerian: "Have you... Ever wondered..."

#furry #comics #furryart #ProjectFuture #protogen

Quirk starts to explain that what's under your visor is a bit of a prickly topic. Quirk: "Well, if you've never seen a protogen before, I can't expect you to understand our taboos. What's behind the visor can vary. Some have a proper face, though the visor still can't be removed as it's part of our life-support." Quirk: "Others... Well, the older or more experimental designs... They just have their internal organs removed while the skull is rebuilt. Then they're rammed back into the head any which way, held in place with luck and nanites." Xerian: "EWW! I see why it's a sore point." Quirk: "Quite. It can be ugly - like the brain is pressed directly against the visor and the eyes are left kind of floating around or lashed to the sides. It's not nice... And I don't WANT to know which type I am." Quirk: "Either way, removing or puncturing the visor will be fatal without medical aid." Xerian: "So, with Synth heads, the visor is made of synthetic sapphire. It had integrated displays - the outward-facing ones render my face, rather like yours." Xerian: "The inward-facing ones act as a Heads-Up-Displays and there's a camera gimbal down the centre that runs on a track." Xerian: "We use a HUD because injecting data directly into the brain module would be a security-" Quirk: "Brain MODULE?! You mean you're WHOLLY ROBOTIC?! I didn't think that was POSSIBLE!" Lautrec: "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!" Quirk: "VERY heavily augmented. Like, just an organic brain in your head or something."

Lautrec asks about primagens, progenitors and protogens. Lautrec: "Yeah! What's a primagen, and what's a progenitor? And is there anything more we need to know about protogens?" Quirk: "Right. Protogens are an artificially-created race. We were built to be disposable slaves by an ancient race. We start out... We're like genetically-engineered animals. We're not even properly sentient... that comes with the implants." Lautrec looks at Quirk with new respect. Lautrec: "You're artificially uplifted?! That's how MY lot started out! Well, I was built from scratch, but by neural structure was based on scans from genetically-enhanced big cats. Some of my older brothers WERE big cats until they died and were transferred into neuroprocessor arrays like mine." Xerian: "Synth brains are usually metal spheres like a tennis ball..." Quirk: "POSITRONIC BRAINS?! Someone actually BUILT positronic brains?! WOW! I wish I could see inside your head!" Quirk thinks too hard about opening Xerian's head and has a crazy attack, his visor flashing "Kill". Quirk: "KiLL..." Quirk clutches at his visor, fighting to snap out of it while Xerian looks on in horror. Quirk's visor and cheek displays both become distorted. Quirk: "K-KiLL...?"

Julei is starting to panic over the delays Julei: "Look, we have to get there as soon as we can. Come with us and call up your superious on the way if you like, we could use the backup. But please, PLEASE don't delay us any further!" Forester: "That'll work. Are all of you Jyraneth?" Julei: "Ja'Fell... Technically Nick and I are rebel Jyraneth. Josh is unaffiliated. Salomere Dynari is my daughter-in-law and like Nick, she was born after the sacking of Harla'Keth." Forester: "And have any of you committed crimes, or now intend to commit crimes, against the Kamei'Sin clan or any of their allies...?" Julei: "I did, but that's ancient history. We are allies of Daryil, hand-picked by him for this mission, and he can vouch for us." Forester: "I'll have to confirm that." Josh: "Are you REALLY a forester? You sound more like a customs and immigration official at an airport." Forester: "I was a student, okay...? I needed the money."

It's evening, shipboard time. The lighting varies to simulate a day/night cycle." Quirk: "We're almost at the hideout, and I should probably prepare for bed once we get there."

Xerian, having established that he's not likely to run out of power himself, realises that his lover might not be so fortunate. Xerian: "What do we DO?! Can we stop the invasion? And what about ZUKI?! We need to find out if he's okay and rescue him before he STARVES!" Lautrec: "The robots said something about suspension chambers. I suspect he's probably safe for now - assuming that the Emperor's mooks know how to keep Synths alive and charged." Xerian: "But if they DON'T, that might be WHY they keep taking MORE people!" Quirk: "The Vengeance does have stasis chambers." Quirk: "While the robots are may be dumb as bricks, the people making all the DECISIONS will be aware of your need for recharging by now. They studied your kind long enough to make a working translation model for our implants, after all." Quirk: "So frankly, your friend is probably in a safer position than WE are - at least for now." Lautrec: "Okay... That's good to know, but my boss is going to want to double-check it. Might be best if I did some reconnaissance myself."
