I AM TRIANGLES

[Togeyosh]

Dang, you guys suggested some pretty impressive commands already! I don't think I have anything to contribute for now...

...Reading that entry makes me think of Tower of Heaven. Am I alone here with that thought?

>Triangles: Good! There's someone else who you can find, and perhaps he's not evil too!

[Wandering One]

Mr. Triangles, maybe the person who left that message is still around! You should look around.

...

Wait, haven't you heard that "we must act now" stuff before somewhere?

You know I'm actually really surprised nobody made the obvious joke that the journal belongs to Mindfang

>Triangles, whoever wrote that second note seems really sad and scared! You should find them and help them out!

You aren't sure what to make of that JOURNAL entry, but it seems that whoever wrote that NOTE is in some kind of trouble! You need to find and help this person!

You feel a little conflicted about this decision, though. You really want to help this person, but you remember that you have a job to do. Thankfully, the NOTE seems to confirm that CIRCLES passed by here recently, as the author of the NOTE remembers seeing someone matching his description. At least you're on the right track. You'll just have to hope that the path to CIRCLES and the path to the author continue to overlap.

Circles wants me to pass on a message. Go to the "Capsule Room" on the "Special Projects Floor".

BITTAGE: Whoa, TRIANGLES, are you okay? You look upset again.

BITTAGE: What's wrong? You can tell me if something's wrong, y'know? You said you had a headache before, but I think it's more than that.

BITTAGE: ...I see. So you're having strange thoughts that don't make sense, and they're upsetting you?

BITTAGE: Y'know, maybe it's just a weird coincidence, or maybe it's FATE or something, I dunno, but whoever wrote that NOTE said that they were hearing VOICES in their head.

BITTAGE: I'm thinking the two of you are having the same problem. Now I bet if we can find this person, they could help you sort this out.

BITTAGE: Whoever we're looking for said they were going to try to find the rest of the entries for this JOURNAL. So all we have to do is follow the trail of JOURNAL entries, and it should lead us right to 'em!

BITTAGE: Don't worry buddy, we'll get you fixed up. Don't worry about a thing.

> Dump MEMORIES 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Short-cut time. Record Red. Record Spherical creature. Merge. Merge with teleport. Find circles.

You just got a great idea.

First, you DELETE the GREEN ICE STORAGE SIGN, STEAM, BONDED ELECTRIC TELE-HANDS, A GREEN ICICLE FALLING, and TELEKINESIS from your MEMORY BANK to make some room. Then you RECORD the ideas of RED and SPHERICAL CREATURE from the JOURNAL, and after that you RECORD TELEPORT again. Finding CIRCLES will be so easy! You'll just merge RED and SPHERICAL CREATURE to get a description of CIRCLES, and then MERGE that with TELEPORT to get a MEMORY that will take you right to him. So simple!

You MERGE the first two MEMORIES, which gets you... a RED, SPHERICAL CREATURE. Huh. You've never seen CIRCLES before, but you're fairly certain he doesn't look like that.

You don't think that worked.

> Record THE TOWER.

> Merge TELEPORT with THE TOWER

Okay, okay, you can still salvage this idea. You RECORD the idea of the TOWER from the JOURNAL, and MERGE that with TELEPORT to create TELEPORT TO TOWER.

One thing from the JOURNAL entry that really interested you was the TOWER that this M. human mentioned. There's apparently something SECRET hidden at the top of this TOWER, and you're curious to find out what.

You decide to not use the MEMORY just yet, though. You have more important things to attend to.

Namely, dealing with this BIOWEAPON that you've brought with you.






BITTAGE seems to think that she'll be out for a while, but you wonder if there's any way you can wake her up sooner? You really want to talk to her.

You didn't fail to notice that the NOTE included the same words that you've been hearing the DRONES say over and over.

“We must act now, for everything is ready.”

The BIOWEAPON said that too. She said a lot more than that, actually.

You feel like they're trying to tell you something. You need to find out what it is.

Oh man so many new readers I'm really glad you're all enjoying it

...Reading that entry makes me think of Tower of Heaven. Am I alone here with that thought?

No, you aren't alone with that thought:

The most impressive feature is of course the great TOWER that extends well past the cloud line, seemingly dividing the sky in half.

I saw the traveller make his way toward the monolith,
that thin gash amidst the clouds;
an open seam between heaven and earth
that eluded the eye of God.

Or perhaps it had not; perhaps it beckoned
from one realm to the other, wedded and ruled as one;

For look how clean it splits the horizon twain,

A tower of heaven.

-Journal of an unknown traveller

(I love that game, if it wasn't obvious )

journal quest time?
JOURNAL QUEST TIME
YAY JOURNAL QUESTS

OH YES YOU BET IT'S JOURNAL QUEST TIME

So yeah, if it wasn't obvious, you'll be able to give Circles's message to whoever wrote the note on the back of the journal. You just gotta find 'em first.

In addition to IAT now having 300+ images, it looks like this thread now has more than 100k views Milestones everywhere! Thanks guys!

Oh, and I may or may not use some of the time travel stuff at a later date. Time manipulation is well within Triangles's capabilities, but time travel makes things really complicated really quickly and I'm not sure if I want that at this point in the adventure. Maybe later, we'll see.

On that note, >Triangles: Teleport to Tower is a completely viable command and I will do it if prompted. With one exception; you must be able to provide a realistic reason for why Triangles would want to go there. Triangles has no real need or desire to go there currently, as it is out of the way of both finding Circles and this other person. But if you can convince Triangles that it's worth doing, then I'll make it happen. Regardless of what you choose, dealing with the Bioweapon will happen first. After that, we either continue down the corridor or head to the Tower.

Now that I've said that, I must warn you; going to the Tower right now would be very dangerous. It would be like going to a late-game dungeon too early in a video game, like when John tried to fight his denizen too soon in Homestuck. If you attempt to get Triangles to the Tower, it will make the current arc of IAT much more difficult. There will be direct and immediate consequences of going there, that's all I'm going to say. But I'm going to leave the option to do it with you guys.

So, do you want to play IAT in easy mode, or hard mode?

[Scowling Dragon]

Hard or Easy?

Circles "Or".

>I suggest you encase Bioweapon in a prison of some sort and lug it around with you to ensure she doesn't go berserk. Maybe a self sustaining telepathic prison?

[Dreamscythes231]

>Triangles: Remember of the capsules yo saw earlier. Remember spherical shape in journal. Remember of the concept of "comfy". Remember the concept of floating. Mix memories, make a portable pod for the Bioweapon to be put in.
>>Go follow the trails of monitors.
>> Produce Spherical creature, tame him, he might be helpful.

>????????: Can you hear us?

[ikkonoishi]

Remember the Journal, and then remember the action of you recording that memory.

Combine the Journal with recording memories to get Recording Memories in the Journal.
Now you can use the Journal as an extra memory slot.

[distainfulCatalyst]

>We wonder, this journel represents a collection of memories, albeit inefficiantly recorded. What separates this from a Memory? What happens if you treat it as such?

[Xander]

Deletee Memory 4.

[Professor zobot]

No! No going to the tower! Nothing good can come of skipping out on our quest to find Circles! Besides, TQM said we could only leave if we brought Circles back. Teleporting to the tower would be leaving, right?

Instead...

Hm... I wonder, it seems like Verror has some way of directing or domimating the will of the drones. and Trianges and Circles seem somewhat similar... What if it has some effect on the Anchor Points too?

>Triangles: "We must act now, for everything is ready."

[Eagle0600]

Bittage: Please tell Triangles that circles wants him to go to the capsule room.

+1 reader! Awesome stuff.

Additionally, has anyone else wondered what would happen if Triangles attempted to record hi MEMORY BANK?

>Triangles: Record REGENERATE again, then record BIOWEAPON. Combine to get REGENERATE(or HEAL) OTHER(or possibly just HEAL BIOWEAPON). But you might want to find a way to restrain her first.
>If you only get HEAL BIOWEAPON, you may want to repeat the process for BITTAGE to get HEAL BITTAGE. He may be a HERO, but even HEROs need healing sometimes.
>And don't teleport to the tower just yet.

[Naesr Tazam]

Clearly, THE MAN UPSTAIRS is Q., and the nuclear holocaust was the fault of 007's failure to stop Viktor Lavrentievich Zokas, alias Renard the Anarchist. That, or the Tower is the Dark Tower and THE MAN UPSTAIRS is Ol' Man Gan.

You're absolutely right, hitting up late-game content early on is a terrible idea... unless your name is Kirby, or you are otherwise a cute little reality-warping monstrosity of doom capable of turning your foe's advantages to your own.

Fuck it buck it bop it top it, ONCE MORE INTO THE FRAY.

> Triangles: Circles must have had his reasons for running... but you don't have access to him for his side of the story,
> Triangles: For that matter, TQM wasn't too happy about you getting out either.
> Triangles: TQM has proven, time and again, unstable, vitriolic, and... lonely? You think lonely is the right word for it.
> Triangles: He's still your friend.
> Triangles: TQM runs a facility full of homicidal drones - yourself included - and apparently has no problems with this.
> Triangles: You have problems with this.
> Triangles: Maybe you should help your friend help himself. Maybe you can help him be the better... whatever you all are... so he can reconcile with Circles.
> Triangles: But to do that, you need information that you don't have, information that TQM won't give you... but maybe this Q. person might.
> Triangles: All parties thus far have proven biased.
> Triangles: The SECRET may be the first step towards understanding, and through understanding to a better world, where you, Bittage, TQM, Circles, and all the drones can live together in peace and harmony.

> Triangles: Teleport to Tower.

[Scowling Dragon]

Seriously. Im a more methodical guy. It SEEMS like we are in a position of victory, with regeneration but there could be TONS of stuff like Bioweapon there. They could kick our collective buts.

>Don't teleport to the tower yet Triangles. Finish your job first.
