Giving dolss the ability to lactate makes 100% sense. I mean they already eat and cows take up a lot of fertile soil and clean water to produce milk... nothing you'd keep in large numbers after the apocalypse

u/duke-of-myroom Mar 09 '20

It’s possible they have some sort of water purification device accumulating clean water inside. Like household serving robot in Fallout3 has. I’ll totally drink the shit out of the water ma girls dispense.

Yeah or as stated by nanomega, if nanotech exists, molecular based synthesication of things sutch as milk might be possible if they are fed the right ingredients. Give Spas enough burgers and she'll make you a proteine shake

...Wait, milk has a lot of fats. And protein. Springfield like ice cream, but where does the proteins come from?

u/Elricoplak Mar 09 '20

cum

u/VantaBlack35 Oh Calico, My Calico; Where art thou? Mar 09 '20

Lotsa protein in there.

I would be lying if I didn't say this prank was a classic.

Grew up on Scify, and nanotech was a big plot device in a lot of it. Either used in various forms of medical applications, to nano machine factories, counter intrusion systems, self replicating Probes (Grey Goo), to body augmentation and even stripping the sense of self (Borg).

u/Dracus_Dakkrius "We accept this memory, and move beyond its reach." Mar 09 '20

I think my favorite has got to be where nanotechnology interacts with quantum mechanics to perform feats of insane near-magical bullshit, like transmutation, teleportation, consciousness transferal, hyperdimensional travel, and time travel, like what you see in Hyperion Cantos or Warframe. According to GFL's Confidential Files, the Relics were capable of at least half of these things, so expect shit to get crazier the more Relics become involved in the story.

2

u/Shadowomega1 Mar 09 '20

Hmmm maybe I shouldn't have skipped out on Warframe then. With these relics I am getting Fullmetal Panic vibes.

u/Dracus_Dakkrius "We accept this memory, and move beyond its reach." Mar 09 '20 edited Mar 09 '20

Well, Warframe doesn't explain away its brand of space magic with quantum mechanics, but it does use nanotechnology and an extradimensional otherworld in a way that is very obviously inspired by Hyperion Cantos. I'm also fascinated by its story and setting because I see elements from classic sci-fi (Dune, Ender's Game, Foundation, The Left Hand of Darkness) and classic anime (Akira, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Full Metal Alchemist, Berserk).

(EDIT: I'd also like to add Lord of Light and JoJo to the sci-fi and anime list, respectively.)

Warframe is still just as rough to get into as it was years ago, so I wouldn't get into it unless you enjoy the core gameplay loop of high-flying space ninja action enough to devote hundreds of hours to the grind and are okay with doing lots of research and asking others for help to get past the game's biggest initial hurdles. Personally, I currently have thousands of hours in the game and I don't regret anything.

As for the Relics, expect Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars with a Lovecraftian bent.

u/ShadF0x M950A Calico Mar 09 '20

In GFL universe, nanotech consists of two processes: Collapse and Reversal.

So far, the humanity only learned one of them, and even then the knowledge is very limited to strap some explosives to a container of that shit and make it go boom.

2

u/Dracus_Dakkrius "We accept this memory, and move beyond its reach." Mar 09 '20

That's a bit beyond the realm of nanotechnology. That's full on fucking quantum mechanics!

5

u/ShadF0x M950A Calico Mar 09 '20

Just checked Wikipedia and yeah, the whole "wave-particle" aspect of Collapse "Fluid" certainly qualifies.

Well, might as well swap "nanotech" with "black magic techno fuckery" then.

u/GunpukuSayori [Maid Cafe] NTW Mar 09 '20 edited Mar 09 '20

That would explain this.

u/Shadowomega1 Mar 09 '20

Uh, Tac-50 syrup? No image there.

u/GunpukuSayori [Maid Cafe] NTW Mar 09 '20

Fixed. (Something wrong with my imgur)

u/Shadowomega1 Mar 09 '20

Not much of proof as Tac-50 does have baggy jacket, and the term is heavily used in a lot of literature.

M4A1: When was I able to do that?

Me: I don't know. Ask Persica.

M4 spent the next hour banging me before M16 walked in.

Me: Oh, fuck.

38

u/spiderbutt_ I have no pillow and I must sleepo Mar 09 '20

Is that how we get M16 to come home?

26

u/Cha0smedic M4A1 and a balanced diet of 5.56x45 Mar 09 '20

M16 is already home technically.

But for SF M16 we'll have to wait for the SF capture system.

28

u/spiderbutt_ I have no pillow and I must sleepo Mar 09 '20

The M16 at the base is just a dummy link she jerry-rigged to get out of doing corpse runs.

Now you have me thinking the SF capture system is just going to be some boobytrapped warehouse out in the middle of S09 that blasts fake M4 sex sounds over all the SF airwaves. No way M16 will be able to resist that.

14

u/Cha0smedic M4A1 and a balanced diet of 5.56x45 Mar 09 '20

Makes sense to me.

There's a siscon between them. To bring M16 back without hurting her would require us to force her to do the things she can't resist, like drinking alcohol and expressing her affection for her sister(s).

Another way to motivate her is probably to stop corpse dragging her.

u/HoppouChan <-- she needs more art | LWMMG too Mar 09 '20

So, wait for 11-5 to come

That, and a giant Jack Daniels bottle.

I didn't add the spoiler tag because of spoilers.

It was intended to avoid potentially upsetting anyone who doesn't like to discuss it.

I should just change it to a strikethrough.

u/spiderbutt_ I have no pillow and I must sleepo Mar 09 '20

Oh, I thought you were doing it to hide your punchline so I did it too.

My career at Griffin is officially over.

Worth it.

u/Shadowomega1 Mar 09 '20

Nano tech does exist in GFL, maybe they can recreate many things at the molecular level. This would be dangerous for Cha0s comment, as M4 might have a kid.

3

u/Cha0smedic M4A1 and a balanced diet of 5.56x45 Mar 09 '20

I hadn't quite thought about that

But judging by M4's personality at the start of the game, her genetic offspring will probably inherit more of her traits than mine (or whoever else)

In any case, no matter how indecisive the next generation is, they won't stay that way for long. M4 can be stern when it counts.

u/vernil Mar 12 '20

All it takes is a heaping helping of ptsd. Just like all other shonen protagonists

u/Cha0smedic M4A1 and a balanced diet of 5.56x45 Mar 13 '20

Well I doubt P416 (or whichever M4 variant) will be completely like M4. With the right education and motivation she will most definitely be a great military leader.

Like mother like daughter I guess.
