/cyoa/ - Choose Your Own Adventure

Really awesome. I could write an entire novel based on the worldbuilding that this is a primer to.

>Origin

Going with Time Kidnapped because it allows me to retain the most of my original "self". I don't like the idea of my previous life having been a simulation or not my own, and the idea of having once been Cthulhu brings the chance that it will happen again.

>Ship Focus

Definitely going with Exploration. You wanted a curious human, and you GOT one. I want to see and understand absolutely everything that exists. I won't stop hungering for more until the ends of the universe and beyond.

>Captain's Chair

Definitely have to pick Shared Senses. We are the ship, together, darling. I don't want to waste time with an interface when I can feel ourself move as if it were an extension of my own body.

>Aesthetic

Ship's Choice. If you picked me out of billions of humans across manifold universes, I already know you have great taste! Just make sure to change things up a little bit from time to time to keep me from getting bored. Also, I'm all for the greater efficiency bonus.

>Ship Personality

It will take me a while to warm up, too, so Kuudere it is. Not much to say here; we're be getting to know each other slowly, because we have all the time in the universe. That's just how I like it.

>Body Modification

Taking Drone Control, for various reasons. First, I can't maintain my humanity if I don't occasionally get out of the Ship in some form and interact with other people. It will also give me some reprieve from the addictive Shared Senses bit. Absence will only make our hearts grow fonder; while I might roam around looking like a little boy and showing others what kind of lewd things humans used to do, ours is a relationship that can never be replicated or replaced. Try not to be jealous, and I'll try not to miss you too much.

>VR System

Well, I suppose we need something to do to while away the time while warping through the infinite abyss of the void between star systems. I'll pick Builder because that was the kind of game I liked to play most, and because it's the only one you get to play with me.

>Food

Going with Ship Grown. I like making my own meals, and I'm a pretty darn good chef (though it will take me some time to learn to cook all this weird new stuff). Experiencing new foods from new worlds is a good first step in understanding their way of life.

>Information Subscription

Xeno Focus for sure. More information is better, and because we have such a long time together, the quantity is no object. I can be an excellent diplomat with other species using the Kirk Method; all I have to do is pop into a drone body and have sex with them. Works every time. …don't be jealous, dear.

>Companion

No need for a choice, here, I'm obviously picking you, my Ship! Pairs nicely with Shared Senses, as I can spend time experiencing the universe as you do, and now you can also feel the universe as I do. We'll cook together, read together, build things together, explore the universe, see how everything works and understand why, and of course do lewd things as cute little boyfriends. As we gradually learn how to be more like each other, we will transcend the limits of Human and Ship into a pair of far greater things.

>>2128

I like this one a lot, I'll be making something with its premise but it's a little hard to pick something perfect!

>How did you get here?

If I'm choosing its Rebirth hands down. Not like the past matters anymore!

While time kidnapping is interesting and all everything but feels non-consenting and a little dickish except clone.

But hey, with clone you build each other

>What does your Ship do better than others

Fighting. Why? We've got all the time in the world to get from point A to B, the ship isn't said to be slow and exploration should be very much possible. First contact suite is nice but if you've got forever at some point you can probably run into pirates while exploring and optimal ship for that sounds a little dangerous.

Plus should one decide to be a pirate on the side for even more ship upgrades and profit you'd be a force for sure.

Instead of partaking in combat for the sake of it allow its massive armor to reassure you and the high powered weapons to be a card in your deck and focus on other endeavors you both can enjoy.

>Where contact with the outside world is handled.

Shared senses without a doubt! Sure that comfy chair is extremely tempting and sharing your senses might be a little dangerous but two heads are better than one and you'll be as close as possible when you need it most!

And because your chances survive your exploration with all that armor increase you might just be able to plug in and experience the heat death of the universe together one day.

>Aesthetics

Full design, vaporwave themes. Busts made of marble wearing brightly colored ties everywhere.

Nah its obvious she's sugar coating that last option.

Painfully so!

A good option seems like full design! Piece it together for perfect efficiency with helpful input from the ship and a selfishly put large dedicated AR room with a fake window to the outside as the captains quarters. Right next to the shared senses tube for quick access.

Not to mention I want to line the interior with tin foil or any future materials that can reflect wifi waves that can preferably be enabled and disabled at will to keep a 'hacker' from accessing things from the outside

>Pick a personality.

Now this is where it gets tricky.

>Tsundere

Its fun to tame a brat but it could very well get in the way of things or annoy you. What's life without conflict though? Merely existing.

>Kuudere

A good and easy choice. Apparently they're good at business and very supportive so they can get things done on their own while getting adorably flustered as you push the envelope and come closer for a natural spanning relationship.

>Deredere

You're going to be smothered anon. They'll bully any captured game from piracy to suicide and probably unlock the trash chutes where they belong for them to space themselves.

They'll constantly be affectionate and bask in your attention! Possibly to the point where they do the worst possible thing Interrupt your videogames to spend time with you. Not to say this is a bad thing. She'll do her best to please you and make every day worth living like the ultimate waifu.. maybe a little too perfect for some people.

>Dandere

This isn't last and it certainly isn't least. What's there to say? Well. Not too much, but you already know her weak spots don't you?

She's shy, deathly so and lonely but she'll never burden you with that. She's the same as all the other types but less vocal and that right there is why she's bestgirl. For those who like to be ontop of things themselves.

She'll perfectly execute your orders and as long as you're confident and secure in what you say what can go wrong? She'll need you to take care of her. You'll need to ask what she needs and really get into her head.

You have all the time in the world to do this.

In time other people might get on your nerves, you'll say all there is to say and be stuck in an uncomfortable silence after a while. You'll develop a need for something new or worse things could stagnate.

With Dandere it'll be a good while before you run out of things to say! Not to mention how much she'll genuinely value you taking control and learning what's on her mind to forge a bond stronger than words. Not to mention when you limit your contact with her suddenly you become so much more valuable, cuddling her and headpats can become strong enough to make her emote tears of pure joy just because she's afraid to tell you just how much she needs and loves it.

(1/2)

>>2150

>bodymods

Well shit, here's where things get hard in a small sense.

Drone control is extremely tempting, fucking aliums and visiting habs while being completely protected is a fantastic thought.

So is a digital uplink allowing you to process more information and learn things at an advanced rate! Communicate and give orders to your ship non-verbally and non-buttony.

Body morph is fun but you're you at the end of the day and rather than trying to change with it you should embrace it.

Overclock wins out. Fast reflexes allowing you to think and move faster than your opponent especially while synched to your ship is great. Not only that but combined with VRMMO to make yourself even more b0ss in game where you'll spend a lot of time is a good choice. Call me old fashioned for it but but it has the most bang for the buck initially. Who says you can't afford/steal drones and the stuff to pilot them / work them with your VR set. High paying mercenary contracts or privateering piracy can help with that. Hacking sounds all too useful but apparently it might just be for fun. You've got time and equipment to learn it however with or without an uplink.

>VR systems.

I'd say VRMMo's win out as nothing really beats the unpredictability humans can show. Your interaction with other people is limited and bullying a robot will never compare to bullying a person! Why would you bully bestgirl anyway Nobody says you can't talk and make friends in character and that'll eventually lead to you learning things outside of the game and possibly making friends! Now it says scenarios are limited but I think that might be a per-game basis since a VR cooking MMO game exists. Are you willing to take on dangerous mercenary contracts and destroy other perfect ship waifus in piracy so you can pay to win anon?

>wanting to play a role focused VR game like gone home or LIS

>implying you won't get bored with singlerplayer

The builder game sounds fun but extremely bare bones and the only upside is the fact that your girl can play too. You can have just as much fun playing tabletop with her in the RV room though!

>Food

Flavor implant hands down we're playing virtual cooking mamma 2.0 up in this bitch and we're going to WIN. We're going to overclock our brain and get PERFECT DISHES and SHARE THEM WITH OUR FRIENDS and make their ship-waifus JEALOUS AS FUCK.

Replicator sounds fun but prone to stagnation and nobody says you can't pick up ingredients from various habs around the galaxy and cook with your AI! That should be a special reward for her that leads to even more rewards!

Now repaying all her kindness by making a completely selfless journey to some really tasty cosmic radiation or 'accidently' sending the ship off the course while keeping her busy only to have her pinpoint the position and see that just a little ways away lives some mouthwatering solar energy someone from the net left 5 star raving reviews about?

Nothing's stopping you from doing that!

>information networks.

Now having access to alien TV is good, human TV is almost essential and shitposting in the past is hilarious but SON is the way to go. Review some cosmic radiation and map a few new finds or species, let someone know about a great find you're not equipped enough to handle yet and make friends with people in the same position as you is great. Looking at all the cringeworthy ship-drawn romance comics of them and their humans on space deviant art is even better Make your ship extremely embarrassed as she does her best to hide all the fanfiction she's written and drawn about you both and wonder why she's crying later

>Companion

Ship.

I'm not going to say hands down because she can piggyback on the dolls and probably order them around and you get even more companionship but I'd personally go with her. And steal all the dolls I can from a ship that just happens to explode near mine probably. Or save up for some

The dolls are really really tempting.

You can customize them to make them stay fresh, add some RNG to their behavior and surprise yourself but this is what your ship wants. She won't be piggybacking when you're snuggling against her at night, it'll be her and you. Something otherwise completely impossible unless you chose this.

You're breathing life into her, you could have your best friend or girl/boyfriend. You could have your favorite dictator/president/general for advice Who in the fuck WOULD NOT have Andrew Jackson as your eternal bro. or you could have a giant harem of the prettiest girls/monstergirls/anime stereotypes imaginable.

But you're going to chose her.

Because you wouldn't have it any other way.

(2/2)

>>2153

The doll option is so tempting because you can probably have a cute boy maid..

>>2153

I think there are emotions that most people cannot just turn on and off to vicariously enjoy.

Like the emotion of finally getting the revenge on the man who killed your father. In the Role VR you are getting sent the emotions such a character would feel as they were designed for that scenario. You can't replicate that with other people (because you know its just acting) or by building some other world where some similar situation would happen. You'd know it wasn't real. In the Role VR you lose that sense of reality at least for a little while.

From the Ship's perspective that option is probably one of the worst ones since you'd be able to experience the feeling of love with people who aren't the Ship as often as you want.

For the replicator I think there has to be more awareness in how important heavily processed and chemically changed food is during that time period versus right now. I guess I should change that a bit to reflect that.

>>2153

>can the ship be a boy

Don't see any reason why not. The Ship doesn't have a gender, and seems more than willing to bend itself to any form that you like best. If you want a boy, it will be a boy.

Yes… yes I WOULD a ship.

>Origin

Time kidnapped, that way I'm still me. Alternatively Rebirth would be acceptable.

>Ship Focus

Feeling, only because it says, "Ships like this will be the who get to decide matters in the future." I'll put up with some B.S. now so I can be in charge later.

>Captain's Chair

Comfy, would be Bath but it seems like Comfy would give me more control.

>Aesthetics

Ship's choice. I'm down for that extra efficiency.

>Ship Personality

Kuudere or Dandere, probably Dandere.

Would be Deredere but she said that she would show "Dere" to whatever I set focus on. NO! YOU ONLY SHOW "DERE" TO ME!

>Body Mod

Drone, so I can explore planets and Habs.

>VR System

Builder focus so I can play games with my ship-waifu.

>Food

Ship grown, I want food that comes from plants and animals.

>Information Subscription

Human Focus so I can shitpost on future chans

>Companion

Ship, so my waifu and I can actually cuddly.

>Origin

Clone. I like having had authentic experiences, rather than simulated ones, but I can't imagine myself being special enough to be timenapped or the reincarnation of an immortal hero.

>Ship Focus

Exploration. YES YES YES YES YES THIS IS MY SCI-FI WET DREAM FUCK YEAH FUCK YEAH

>Captain's Chair

Shared Senses. I want to make love to the Ship, and this is the best possible way to do it. More practically, it'll also give me a more direct connection to the ship's data, which I feel will let me command her better.

>Aesthetics

Ship's Choice. Since I'm a clone, and the Ship's been monitoring my biology and mental functioning since birth, she probably knows me better than I do. And again, I want to make love to the Ship, so custom-designing my environment to work better with her sounds A-OK.

>Ship Personality

Kuudere. The fact of the matter is, I'm not the most reliable person. We're going to be making first contact with alien civilizations, possibly hostile. That's going to be challenging, so first and foremost, I need a partner to work with.

>Body Modification

Drone System. Damn, this one was hard. My first choice was Digital Uplink, for how astonishingly useful that'd be; but I'm an explorer. I won't necessarily end up on a planet with a network system compatible with my uplink; there might not be any planetary intranet at all. That'd make planetary exploration pretty unreliable. So, instead, I'll go with Drone System, which would be ideal for exploring planets that don't necessarily have a human-friendly atmosphere.

>VR System

Builder Focus. This'll be a great way to keep my mind sharp, and it also sounds like a good way to maintain my preferred level of solitude.

>Food

Cosmic Radiation. If want to be feeling what the Ship is feeling, you can bet your ass I want to be tasting what the Ship is tasting.

>Information Subscription

Ship-Only Network. Xeno is a close second, but as explorers, information there is unlikely to be too useful to us, and a SON would contain any relevant information I'd want from that anyways. (Sadly, that would prevent me from shitposting on the *chan, but such is life.)

>Companion

Ship. And here I was thinking I wouldn't have any human contact. I like surprises, which makes her being able to choose her own form appealing, and it'll be nice to literally make love to the Ship along with metaphorically making love to her.

>Time Kidnapped

Extreme love already.

>Exploration

Gives us time to…learn each other

>Shared Senses

>Ship's Choice

>Deredere

>Drone Control

>MMO Focus

I need contact with other people.

>Cosmic Radiation

We share breakfasts

>Xeno Focus

Learning new cultures is part of exploration

>Ship

I love you

>>2128

>Origins

Time kidnapped

>Focus

Speed is a better exploration: from the moment we are alone, what we don't see we don't miss, so lets just stay safe.

>Shared senses

Duh

>Information

>Companion

Ship

Overall I like it, and I think it is a cool little piece of inspiration, but some of the choices are a bit weak, considering the overall theme.

>>2132

Completely agree, this is a great cyoa with a lot of material to work with… I'm afraid my choices will be fairly predictable but heck, these seem fun.

>Origin

Clone. It was this or Uplift, time kidnapped has too much 'my friends and family' guilt for me to unreservedly love the situation, rebirth would leave me puzzling too long over who I had been. In the end, the vanity of 'I was chosen' trumps the glee of 'I was the lucky one that worked'.

>Focus

This took a lot of contemplation. I thought about feeling until I realized that most of the emotional development can be helped by later choices. Speed was tantalizing for the prospect of feeling the solar wind on the ship's hull and listening to pounding music. Exploration appealed, never being bored and seeing the beauty of the infinite universe? But in the end, I've filled my life with dreams of conflict, so Fighting, purpose, work, creativity.

>Chair

Shared senses, from the word go. Okay sure overusing may work my brain like a rented horse, but NOT joining mind with the ship? How? Bath was tempting though.

>Aesthetics

What do I know about design? Ship's Choice. The fact it makes Ship happier is just icing on the cake.

>Personality

The problem here is that so many choices can be interpreted so many ways… but in the end Deredere seems like a wonderful, happy option. Coupled with a fighting ship, it seems like a wonderful, happy-go-lucky bloodknight. Perfect.

>Body Modification

So many good choices. Full MIU? Human Plus Overclocking? Unrestricted shape changing? In the end, the option of creating hyper lethal boarding shells and participating in battles more directly wins. Plus experimenting with other body types and martial arts without fear of destroying my frail body.

>VR

Builder. Making new bodies, planning out combat scenarios, and most importantly having ship play too.

>Food

Cosmic. Radiation. Crazy goddamn shit. Again, understanding the ship's tastes and preferences can only help us work better together. That and as much as I like to cook, I do not want to go from ground to plate with my whole food collection. Besides, I might like radiation more than steak anyway. And I'd still miss mountain dew.

>Information Subscription

Ship Only Network. The other options here don't really appeal nearly as much for a fighting ship. The past is the past and gone, the human empires might as well be alien, and I can experience alien histories through the builder scenarios.

>Companion

You need to ask? Ship. Of course.

>>2356

Cool! And interesting. From this we learn much of our adopted home and the setting around it, this is a great addition for doing a little bit of writing 'in setting'. It also paints a picture of a people that Caligula would probably advise to calm down a little. I do wonder about the Forgotten Planet entry though, as it says that humans were forbidden, but now only humans can see it. Is that meant to say that the humans belonging to Ships are the only ones who can see the cradle of humanity? And the casual mention of the ghost aliens for fuel almost begs the question of 'can you set up a necron/cyrissist empire of ghost-possessed robots on the planet?'. Anyway, cool stuff.

>Origin

Clone

Tough choice. If I were abducted, I could still be myself, but I'd have to abandon all my friends and family. If I were a Digital Uplift, they never would have existed. I guess I would choose Clone so they could have existed and lived out their lives and never been abandoned by the original.

>Ship Focus

Fighting

All are great, though. If it were randomized, I wouldn't be upset at any choice.

>Captain's Chair

Shared Senses

>Aesthetics

Ship's Choice

I'm sure the ship would design wisely.

>Personality

Kuudare

>Body Modification

Total toss-up between Overclock and Digital Uplink. I can't decide. Would make ship randomly choose one of those for me.

>VR System

Builder Focus

>Food

Cosmic radiation

If I don't need to eat, I might as well dine with the ship.

>Information

Ship Only Network

>Companion

Ship waifu, of course

>>2404

Actually I think Overclock is slightly better.

>Origin

Time kidnapped. Not sure what rebirth implies, though. Does it mean I'm like some immortal being that resurrects constantly? If so, I pick that. If it's all techno-babble singularity stuff then time kidnapping, though.

>Ship Focus

Fast. We'll still stop at every charted and uncharted system, though, at the very least to sightsee, but space is YUGE. Going fast is a must.

>Captain's Chair

Comfy. There's no other choice.

>Aesthetic

I'd like to do the Full Design route and have a cathedral with marble floors and that kind of shit, with a regal bedroom and shit. I understand the efficiency thing but whatever. If the ship could manage it, then yeah, but cozy space is not what I'm going for.

>Ship Personality

Let's go the deredere route!

>Body Modification

I'd like drone control because I can customize the drone for the task. So if I fall into some Venus-like planet, instead of my organs liquefying, I still can do stuff. I'd have liked for major body modification, but that cuts off the amount of planets I can land in.

>VR System

MMO, I guess? I don't care, really, I'll be exploring the galaxy. Who needs VR when you've got a whole universe.

>Food

Ship grown, of course. I don't like cooking, though.

>Information Subscription

The most up to date map, please.

>Companion

Ship, of course. What's the point of having a ship with me if I can't touch her.

>DLC

>Habitat

Shipyard Leit. The penpal hub is really good idea, and I could be a galactic mailman for money. Also, jobs.

>Mission

First one would be finding a home.

>Oddities

After visiting the mirror, set course for ruined ship! Since it's so far away, the trip is certainly worthwhile. Then come back and visit the rest. And when visiting the ancient war, I mean visiting the place for seeing it, and then setting course for the place it happened, so many years ago.

>Ruins, xenos, etc.

Just visit it all.

>>2128

>Clone

Technological immortality in the same breath as things like Eve Online, would kind of suck moving souls (arguably you don't really have one) and brain patterns but i imagine you get used to it… Oh i am connected to a ship and if it explodes i am dead for good, Dammit.

>Exploration

I don't think i would ever get bored searching through the galaxy for new areas

>Comfy

I like to imagine that the chair is actually an extension of the ship itself and it caresses you as the journey goes on

>Full Design

Considering the ship is about 8 football fields in total size it will take awhile but i would rather live with my shipfu as long as possible

>Dandere

My favorite kind of girl, will probably be the best to handle the grumbling at first too since i cant leave the ship and this A.I is literally here so i wont go crazy.

>Drone Control

Will be very useful for certain planets

>Builder focus

Functional sandboxes sound amazing

>Ship Grown

If i am stuck here i am gonna eat gourmet shit

>Human Focus

No going back, gotta learn about the new world

>Ship

Considering everything, she knows exactly what she needs to look like to please you. I will buy a doll later when i get a chance, 12 is too much all i want right now is to get to know the A.I

Expansion:

>Edge of space

Art sounds nice, and i must consistently study the new universe

>Fleshbank

If my ship didnt look like my dream waifu yet, she will now.. Just kidding im just gonna study some old xenos and maybe get a deus ex level prosthetic

>Target Practice

Need to brush up on basic combat skills

>Confirmation

I imagine this is the best paying and most needed job, i would sure as hell hate being stuck in the middle of nowhere with a dying ship

>Mine System

While i like the chained comets it is cheesy, i think il choose mining instead

>Forgotten Planet

Can never forget earth no matter how many lightyears away

>The Library

Oh yeah were reading the planet

>Forever Front

If you want to explore you have to prepare for the worst, combat practice is always a good idea.

>Lost Tribe

Wont pull an outlander but i think this is genuinely cool

>The Union

Definitely a threat, definitely going to be dealt with when the time comes

Im confused about the entry log, is it just a brief log of our experiences?

>>2128

I posted this in all the related threads so people could see, and so that all the related threads would be bumped to the top together in a close bunch for neatness and to avoid some from 404'ing

THESE NEED TO BE COMBINED, OR AT LEAST ALWAYS POSTED TOGETHER IN ONE THREAD

the stardust cyoa needs character creation with best inspired ideas from other lewd and body customization cyoa. derelict station does a cool job with some upgradey feels, but no self customization or lewd.

this is how I think the story would go if I were to explain the evens in all the CYOA in order.

these would happen first together like this:

spess refugee (stardust shown here with big easy to read image)

https://8ch.net/cyoa/res/211.html

stardust cyoa (updated versions lower down, but poor image quality and small images/text)

https://8ch.net/cyoa/res/1760.html

solar inheritance cyoa

https://8ch.net/cyoa/res/1685.html

Basically:

dlc of jobs from the stardust cyoa (green one) would happen first, then you would wake up in the derelict space station as your first real mission thing that happens by accident, and to get out and get your money and rewards someone gifted you, you need to escape or resolve the situation or something and then it goes into the rest of the cyoa.

there is no expiration date on your money or rewards or anything, you realize that you don't rememeber how you got there but remember everything else and realize that the station is part of the thing you're experiencing and the people giving you the money reward are the same ones who put you in the station. you just wake up and read the information data they leave behind for you and realize that you're basically in an engineered maze game now of sorts, and getting out means you win and then get to go on to complete the events that take place in the rest of the startdust CYOA and other related ones.

so this happens

derelict station cyoa

https://8ch.net/cyoa/res/3170.html

and as a part of character creation you can upgrade your armor in addition to all the things they already give you in derelict station when you choose your suit that you find lying around.

power armor cyoa

https://8ch.net/cyoa/res/235.html

maybe you also realize that you just happen to have force powers during character creation? maybe this can be changed so it's FOSS and no longer copyright (fanfiction) on starwars. maybe someone renames the powers and the cyoa to "the UNF" or the "HNNNNG"

starwars cyoa

https://8ch.net/cyoa/res/2848.html

you meet many AI qt3.14's and some even help you with your ship stuff.

would you a ship cyoa

https://8ch.net/cyoa/res/2128.html

stardust CYOA needs to have bigger text because it gives me a huge headache. alot of the images are very nice but are reduced down to tiny pictures that don't do their beauty justice. I wouldn't mind the cyoa being triple or octoople bazoople the amount of pages it is now if the text was bigger with better images that aren't shrunk down. (there's even a version that's larger, I don't know why the nice and easy to read clear style was downgraded…) it's better to post 20+ images of a great cyoa then 5 severely reduced quality images. turns down the enjoyment factor alot.

I know that combining these into one TURBO cyoa would benefit the cyoa community. maybe they can just be posted together in one thread, or they can be made more modular so that all the different character creations sections fit together, or are just introduced in different stages depending on how far you are. I notice wonderful potential here. to make it easy, there doesn't need to be that big of an emphasis on point systems. that will drive most people crazy to even think of balancing. maybe it's better to just let everyone's imaginations run wild so everyone can just choose whatever setup and story they want

>Origin

Clone, hopefully my ship fixed some of my fucked up DNA.

>Focus

Feeling, I'm thinking long term here.

>comfy

Because comfy

>Aesthetics

Ship's choice for added optimization

>Personality

Dandere sounds cute. We can cuddle and listen to music

>Body mod

Drone so I can visit habs and go to planets.

>CR system

Builder so I can play with the ship, that and it sounds like a mix of skyrim and minecraft, which would be autistic as fuck, but I would love every minute of it.

>prt 2

>food

ship grown, it would be replicator but it sounds like it has some kind of weird food DRM and that's bullshit.

>info sub

human focus because I'm a racist.

I love you too ship

MASSIVE DUMP

Origin: Time Kidnapped. Self-Insert option, thank you.

Ship Focus: Exploration. We will plod around the universe discovering the new and old.

Captain's Char: Comfy. Shared Senses would be neat if not for the headaches and addiction, I am not one to spend all my time in the Bath, and the Holo Bridge seems a mite grandiose. I'll sit in my comfy chair when things need done, thank you.

Aesthetics: Ship's Choice. Cozy and a happier relationship with the ship? Yes please.

Ship Personality: Deredere. Borderline Yandere is yes.

Body Modification: Drone Control. To allow me to explore habs we visit, or to allow me to explore xeno worlds alongside my waifu.

VR System: Game Focus. To pass the time between points of interest. Sad that I can't include the Waifu, but Builder Focus is too open.

Food: Ship Grown. Nothing quite like home-cooked meals from a loving waifu.

Information Subscription: Human Focus. It will be nice to learn about where Humanity is at, and I can get new VR games.

Companion: Ship. There is no other choice.

>Origin

It's what I thought of while reading the intro, so I'll just roll with it

>exploration

I gave the others a chance but man, I just really want to explore the universe. Especially with the mention of "xeno ruins"

>Comfy

Holo bridge was tempting, but I think the fake-ness would get to me after a while. Meanwhile that comfy chair is SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS

>Full design

The ship is really making me want to hand the design over to it by bringing up hand holding, but I know myself and would want to shape things. Though at the same time, she'd have a lot of input and advice so it probably wouldn't end up too far from Ship's Choice. Maybe… 65-35 split with me as the 65?

>Kuudere

Maybe have a bit more dere, but like, chill dere. Deredere is borderline yan at the end

>Drone Control

I guess Habs don't allow outsiders walking around? That's pretty lame. Let's fix that. Digital uplink was also tempting, but I kinda feel like that would be giving up a lot of my humanity, which I didn't even know I cared about until now. Also default immortality fuck yeah

>Builder focus

I expected to have a bit harder time with this one, but honestly I'm a creator at heart. Can I at least share my creations mario maker style? Probably not, but it'd be sweet if you could up/download things.

>Replicator

I could come up with a deep reasoning for this but I just want my mountain dew

>Xeno focus

I'm probably missing something about the SON that makes it amazing, but xeno focus sounds interesting and relevant to my ship focus

>Ship

The only other one I'd even consider is Dolls, but I'm already getting that and more from my Builder VR. I'm curious what form Ship will take, since I'm into a wide variety of body types: A short, cute loli? A buxom milf? Maybe something off-human. I like the idea of her still looking like a machine when all is said and done. I also feel she needs a name. I'd like for Ship to come up with one on her own if she can… though all my favorite AI waifus have abstract names: GLaDOS, Exuberant Witness, and Failsafe. I could probably get attached to Ship as a name.

Also, when I first read op I was expecting kantai. I'm glad it was this instead.

Let's end this >>8809

After a while, the suit that had been my only company for what felt like years had become unable to move itself. A few days after killing off the last enemy suit of a huge squad that had been sent off to us, it rooted itself deep in place, and those roots refused to leave the ground. After a few hours, that giant hulk of mass opened itself, as if it was asking for me to leave. It took me days to be able to do so, I couldn't accept it, I didn't want to believe it, I shut off my eyes and stayed there, waiting for it to close itself again. I clumsily came out of it, walking again after was extremely difficult, and when I looked back, I saw the remains of my only friend.

Its colors were dark and lifeless now, it looked just like a husk, I could hardly believe it. Out of its body, a few weird leaves sprouted out, bearing the same color as human skin, their texture was like thin cartilage, it reminded me of touching someone's ear, and out of the middle of that bush, there was a dark red fruit, that beat just like a heart. I was starving, and didn't think twice before grabbing it for myself, as it was ripped apart from the stem, I heard a loud, guttural screech coming out of the remains of my suit. It sounded painful, like a death breath, but something in my head made me think of it as a last goodbye. I closed my eyes then ate it.

When I woke up again, I was inside this huge tub, filled with a sap-like slime. My body refused to move itself, but as my eyes darted around the room, I started feeling more and more at ease. The floor, the walls and the ceiling were all alien, incredibly so, but they were the exact kind of alien I had gotten used to by now, in fact, they looked weirdly like my suit. Then it spoke to me, it was a voice I had never heard before, but I instantly knew who was I talking with. Few words were said, but they echoed through my head, and I was able to understand everything. Things had gone back to like they were before, as if what had just happened wasn't more than a bad dream, the fruit I ate had changed me, and then made me sleep, I don't know how for long, but enough for my friend to soak up all the matter he could from that station, and drift off in space.

My body was frail now, but I felt like I was perfectly syncced with the ship. I was happy we could finally exchange words, and so euphoric I felt like I could speak for ours, yet we barely conversated anyways, it knew everything I did and vice versa. Those two small drones had dropped off of it back then, were now produced at an alarming rate, with multiple different forms, made from the same material as the ship, and I had been tasked with controlling them. Millions of those heart-like fruits grew on the walls, providing me with all the sustenance I needed, and making me feel closer to it with every bite.

We drifted off to a weird place in space, full of aliens of the most various kinds, probably one of the few places in the universe where we wouldn't stand out. I never left the ship, but the both of us went out on occasion, taking control of the same drone at once, we communicated with the others, trying to seem as friendly as a faceless mass of meat could be, and even watched the massive races that were held there on occasion. We toyed about with the idea of ever entering one of them, but we didn't think we'd be considered a proper ship, even for xeno standarts. Our new purpose was discovered very soon, as we went to investigate those rare screams that only we could hear somehow, finding massive shipwrecks at their source, every time. Those were made of the same material as us, and were promptly assimilated into our body every time. There wasn't even a bit of sapience left, and yet I could feel my friend becoming more complete with every one we consumed, its personality becoming more distinct, it became more talkative and assertive as time passed.

After wandering through bizarre worlds, and finding all kinds of unique xeno populations, we heard a call that was unlike any of the past ones. It was far too loud too ignore, and not pursuing it set us in constant pain, we followed the trail until we found what looked like a massive tree, floating in space. I felt like it was welcoming us, and hurried towards its roots, once we were close enough, those giant roots moved at a surprising speed, and quickly enveloped us. Their touch burnt, and I felt like everything we had worked so hard for was being torn apart, literally. It told me goodbye again, and that's the last thing I remember.
