• Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Wen sighed in resignation. Before anyone else could accept the offer, he stepped up to pluck the seal from the Aos Si's hands. "I already have a lump of catonite stuck on my heart, I might as well be the first to try this." He examined the seal. It looked awfully archaic to him, pre-industrial...

    "I'm not surrendering," Wen retorted as he checked over his makeshift contraption again, "We're in foreign territory now without half of our brains. I'm just preparing contingency plans. With that done, we need to figure out whether to continue this mission, or to abort. Orbital satellites will...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    While the civilians were talking to the Aos Si leader, Wen was busy figuring out what to do in this scenario. He felt as if he lost half of his body, now partially blind, mute, and unaware all at the same time. Maintaining virtual connection was such a core part to Daqinren doctrine that not...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Reading over the biometrics, Wen quickly put two and two together. With no other external stimulation, no degradation of anyone's physical or mental space, the only perpetrator behind the breaking down of their virtual world could only be the Catonite. The bull-form felt an emotion he hasn't...

    "Jun is a civilian, pay her no mind." Wen waved off at the stupid cow while he tried to diagnose the unwanted intrusions into their virtual world. What was going on here? There wasn't any external attack detected. He ended that inquiry, instead beginning a deep analysis into the physiological...

    "How we survived is simple." Wen replied to , "They had air superiority, until they didn't. Their lightning attacks can be compared to our direct energy weapons, which can be countered by superior mobility, range, and power, which we brought to the table." He explained to Lady Nimue. "Still, you...

    "Well, that opens up many, many more questions about Outer Gods, how they think, what are they, etcetera etcetera." Wen mused, unfazed in the slightest of higher powers working against them. After all, they fended off this wave of attacks with little casualties. They will just have to do the...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    "I have a list." Wen started. "The basics, the overview first. What were those constructs? Where did they come from? Who sent them? Why did they attack us in the first place?" In virtual space, he scoured through the video records from their suits, the gunship, and orbital satellites with...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Wen's face in VR went red with embarrassment for a moment. He considered gagging the stupid, noisy cow, but decided against it, for now. He had more important matters to attend to, after all. He felt the draw of this piece of catonite exposed before him, each glowing pulse corresponding with his...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Wen glanced behind him. On his left was still an enemy. More pertinently, one of these biological constructs was directly threatening the royalty and other civilian officials. At this angle, he could allocate brainpower to shoot the one to the left, or shoot the one behind him, which risked him...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Wen would take the senior captain's advise. Instead of charging straight at the next enemy, he drew back to the front of the howdah, taking a defensive position alongside the other Aos Si guards, using the walking turtle's large body as cover as he fired a burst of gyrojet rounds at the nearest...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    With Xian taking over the target designation, Wen focused on his own ground performance. He gave a quick nod to Captain Del Valle, before he returned his virtual form to the task at hand. Staring down the enemy beast closest to him, he reprogrammed his gyrojet rounds to a delayed fuse, ensuring...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    Now that they were grounded, Wen had more reliable targeting solutions, though their rifles are obviously inadequate for dealing with the threats at hand. Still, Wen devoted some of his spare mental bandwidth to fire his rifle at the alien avians. He stepped out of the safety of the gazebo...

    "Frankenstein creatures? Really, doctor? Do you think we are so different, with sculpting of the Chongwu? An artificial creature is an artificial creature. Our current glory is atop a mountain of atrocities." As if the surprises didn't stop coming from Wen, he offered a rare hint of...

    Wen stopped the back and forth in virtual reality immediately. Both his minds focused on the unraveling situation at hand. On a 3D map in the virtual reality, fuzzy dots appeared all around them, with arcs of fire going forward: potential firing solutions, shaky and constantly changing, due to...

    "Stupid cow, if you try to stay sober for once, maybe you could actually learn something." Wen scolded, after which he focused on Hoshiko's words and contemplated, but not for long. "I'm surprised you speak of the Mother Empress is such a way," Wen commented, "The Princesses are afforded...

    "Jun is being a stupid cow, I do not take offense." Wen waved at Reina. "Yes, the Aos Si are sapient creatures, I understand that," He addressed her and Oumijia, "Which is why I am not opposed to this diplomatic mission. They are plotting and scheming as much as we are. I am sure they are...

    "I see the princess has done her homework." Wen observed. In meat space, he finished the last of his meal, satisfied that nothing in the Aos Si feast upset his stomach, and more importantly, that of the royalty. He was the first to climb onto the testudine, making sure it was safe, before he...

    "I'm not going to take advice from a stupid cow who decided to drug herself on a diplomacy mission." Wen snorted, while he simultaneously took a bite in both meat space and virtual space. "I know what you're saying, Reina, but I don't like it. I don't like the fact that this is our only choice...
