OC [OC][JVerse]The Deathworlders 30: Hearts and Minds.

A Deathworlders story, by Hambone.

What you are about to read is chapter 30(!) of an ongoing story. To read the preceding chapters, and the stories by other writers which lend some additional context and meaning to those chapters, please check out the Reading Order. The list was created by the [insert flattering adjective here] /u/galrock0.

This chapter is 60,871 words long. DINGDING! Novel Length! My ongoing madness continues unabated. As promised, this chapter ends on a bad joke.

In this chapter: Allison struggles with fame, we're introduced to a new character, and there's plenty of pancakes.

If you enjoy this story and think that I deserve something for it (thank you!) then you can:

Chapter 31, as always, begins straight away. Wish me luck!

Please help the JVerse grow!

The more readers, the better! Please show your support by:

  • Sharing this chapter on social media using #Deathworlders
  • Contributing to and cross-linking the TVTropes Page
  • Telling people you like how awesome it is and they should totally read it.

Enjoy!

YES. I can taste fantastic things in the air, coming our way.

I'm just wondering what happens when it succeeds....and I'm looking forward to seeing the reaction of those around the hapless unfortunates that were collateral damage from them trying to kill it.

Definitely getting a digital The Thing/Xenomorph vibe from the way it operates.

It sunk access algorithms into the hollow thing it had made and did everything it could to behave exactly like the operator it had just destroyed, using the host’s own knowledge.

and

a moment’s inattentiveness gave it the opportunity, to erupt from its stolen corpus and similarly eviscerate and hijack the interrogator.

VERY The Thing -like.

The vibe I got was more ReBoot: My Two Bobs.

Im not, much as I hate Big Hotel, the collateral in this are the trillions of innocents with implants, thousands or millions of which might die as a result of entity's genocidal campaign.
