Xicarph was a beautiful place with a handful of dark secrets and traditions. Everyone was anticipating the Passing of the Black Star, also known as the Festival of Tattered Fate and followed by the full solar eclipse. As the light of the Emperor snuffed out, the Imperial law held no power. Anarchy and violence were allowed until the sunlight shows again.

But this time, it was different for everyone.

At the Grand Conjunction, the ancient monster summoned a reflection of the dreaded Tyrant Star. As the reflection shatters the minds of people on the planet, the monster destroys their bodies. A party set in the mansion turns into a bloody mess. Amidst the chaos, Miranda manages to get close enough to the intricate clock mechanism that powers this planet's apocalypse and monster, while her teammates distract the monster. She sees the stone that is the source of this.

Legend says that this stone can grant wishes. To stop the madness, she has to remove the stone from the device, and as her fingers touch it, her only wish is to survive.

To this day, she's not sure what saved her from inevidable death. After the stone was removed, the clock exploded, killing few people in the room, but she was left untouched in the middle of explosion. Was that the Emperor intervention? Forfilled wish? Blind luck?

Ксикарф был прекрасным местом с горстью тёмных секретов и традиций. Все ожидали Проход Чёрной Звезды, так же известный как Фестиваль Рваной Судьбы и сопровождаемый полным солнечным затмением. Когда свет Императора гаснет, имперские законы не имеют силы. Беззаконие и насилие процветали до тех пор, пока солнечный свет снова не озарит эти места.

Но в этот раз, всё было иначе.

Во время Великого Соединения, древний монстр призвал отражение страшной Звезды-Тирана. Пока отражение разрушает умы людей на планете, монстр уничтожает их тела. Праздник, который проходил в особняке, превращается в кровавую баню. В бушующем хаосе, Миранде удаётся подобраться к замысловатому часовому механизму, который подпитывает монстра и происходящий на планете апокалипсис, пока товарищи по команде отвлекают зверя. Миранда подмечает камень, который является источником всего этого.

Легенда гласит, что этот камень может исполнять желания. Чтобы остановить безумие, она извлекла камень из устройства и как только её пальцы касаются камня, то единственное желание Миранды было желание выжить.

И по сей день, она не знает что спасло её от неминуемой смерти. После того как камень был удалён, часы взорвались, убив несколько человек в комнате, но сама Миранда осталась невредимой. Было это вмешательство Императора? Исполнившееся желание? Слепая удача?

несколько мыслей автора на тему ИИ, автор http://rodrigo-vega.deviantart.com/

618) A.W.E.: Automated work ensambler. A robot made to build robots had to be the first one on the page. It can also work on buildings, cars or whatever is needed, because when you think about current robots like mechanical arms are doing just find screwed there ensambling our goods, the only reason to make them any more anthropomorphic might be versatility.


619) Tesla walker: We have alredy abused enough in science fiction with tesla stuff... maybe tesla coils are just the quintessential futuristic or retrofuturistic mad scientist invention and they perfectly match a crazy robot.


620) Imperial guard: Inspired by 40k, I made some sort of.. imperial guard... Roman looking robot armed with a gladius, a smaller dagger and some kind of gun.


621) Tactical defender: This robot is designed to stand its ground while receiving heavy fire (thats what the shield is for, duh!). To avoid stress of the parts, reduce friction and optimize the absorption of the energy it hoover some centimetres above the ground transforming the impact of the projectile into movement... so technically it does not hold its ground at all, its not even in contact with the ground. But It is a good defender, thats for sure.


622) The Aerial: The ultimate walking tower... because we don't see many walking towers around. This defense engine carries a powerful shield generator, long range missiles, a ring of massive guns around the "hips" and smaller anti-personal guns from the knees to the ankles.


623) M-23 Suppressor: An assassination unit. First of all let me make something clear; a human shape would be the last I would think of when thinking about movement efficiency, and overall... deadlyness. Spiders, snakes... dogs! everything would make a better assassin in my opinion, but sometimes peer pressure wins the game, and with so many killer androids out there I had to make one too. I can't remember if it had any ranged weapons, but the blades are just find, the one on the right hand is motorized by the way.


624) Adan: The first one of a new breed of robots, faster, stronger, and smarter than humans.. hmnn well, thats it.


625) Infiltrator: A worm or snake like mechanical creature designed for espionage, it can slither inside ventilation ducts ... and simliar large ducts so frecuent in advanced futuristic structures whitout which hideous creatures, and nimble hereos wouldn't survive.


626) A.P: Imagine not only an artificial intelligence, but also that intelligence developing psychic powers like psychokinesis and telepathy, how could would that be. And if this powers were to be affected by the power of the brain itself, and being a compure it would be all like "bip bip, analizing atomic structure" and be super powerful? wouldn't that be awesome?
