> DS: Go grab Huerme. Having another gun on the battle field is bound to help. Plus it gets you away from the captain.

>Captain Cookie: Florida Man Eats Local Cult Leaders Arm, Fights Police, Escapes On Lawnmower

Almond said that the sacrifices can either be (preferably)Alive or dead, right? We can possibly get huerme out before almond opens the portal, and plunges the shitstick into the bowels of hell!

> Closest person that isn't G.Cookie: Get Huermes.

> Almond: Can you sacrifice the freshly killed cultists?

> Everyone that isn't G.Cookie: Be on guard for any more cultists, Also try to keep as far away from the leader as reasonable.

You lean back in your chair and stretch out your arms. Oh, wow, it's already 4 in the morning. You'll never quite understand how this game manages to suck you in so well...


You save the game as it returns to the main menu and turn off your computer, time to head to bed.

this is the best possible ending for Me

> Look for mods to re-add Lithids, Water Physics, Fortuna Patron, Fortuna Planet biomes, and a paper plate species.

Wow, cool ending to the tut. now then
>START NEW GAME!!!!!!!

>You sleep for what seems like forever, it’s a pleasant sleep though. No nasty dreams, this time of year you don’t even have to worry about overheating or going cold from too much or too little cover. All in all, a very restful night.

>After getting some quick breakfast you hop back onto your computer to see what you’ve missed out on. Seems your chat group has been busy and you’ve gotten a new video notification. Putting the chat aside for the time being, you load up the video.

>Seems like a new save file for the sun god run has started making rounds in the community. Must be a big breakthrough or something. The sun god run is a strange thing, no one’s ever beaten it and a huge part of the fanbase is still trying to even this far out in the game's release. You’ve tried the run once or twice, but like everyone else you’ve failed.

You spend a few minutes watching the video, apparently some new kid “You” is trying the sun god run on their first playthrough of the game, not the best decision but hey they have some guts at least, and have actually discovered something that could help end the run. Something about a white snake like character “Sunny” or something, you stop paying attention a little ways in. These videos are always clickbait anyway. You may as well open up your group chat and see how they're doing...

QueenMinty: Guys holy shit, have you seen this? There’s been like, a breakthrough on the sun god run apparently??

QueenMinty: Like holy shit??

AbsoluteTrash: Minty what the fuck?

AbsoluteTrash: A: Everyone knows about that shit already

AbsoluteTrash: B: That video isn’t even the right one?? Like damn it’s 2017 those memes are older than Hemeras’.

AbsoluteTrash: And C: **I** WAS THE ONE WHO SHARED THE SAVE FILE. Like, seriously.

BaronCrisps: Oh, fuck me. I clicked on it.

BaronCrisps: When am I going to learn to not trust Mintys’ links...

AbsoluteTrash: R I P.

QueenMinty:Lmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao

QueenMinty: rly tho.

AbsoluteTrash: Ok but no seriously though, this junk could actually be a huge breakthrough. And it all came from some new kid who’s never even played the game. Like what the heck right? Here we all are, trying to figure out this nonsense gamemode for-freaking-ever, and this kid “You” comes along and just makes a breakthrough his first go round.

AbsoluteTrash: Oh and to make this even more terrible, it turns out that the breakthrough was through SHEER LUCK. LIKE WHAT THE HECK?

CopperDraws: To be fair...that’s about 90% of this game……

CopperDraws: Bullshit luck.

YandereHelios: He’s not wrong.

AbsoluteTrash: Ok I’ll concede that much. But come on! The best progress we’ve made was that one dude who spent their entire universe breeding a max luck geck! And even then that didn’t work! This. Could be. IT. THE BIG ONE.

QueenMinty: k, but like. How many of us actually care anymore? The sun god run is unwinnable.We may as well just like, spend time playing the fuggin’ game trashy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

FightRobot1: Ok ok ok ok ok okokookokokokok. BUT.

AbsoluteTrash: Protip: Stay outta group for a while. Nothing good happening there.

Thou: I….I saw.

AbsoluteTrash: Good.

AbsoluteTrash: So what’s up man, how’s the game going and junk? You were playing until death o clock last night.

AbsoluteTrash: Game that good?

Thou: Eh, kind of weird. I ran into some of the dev AI.

AbsoluteTrash: Gross. Did they give you that nonsense about “Oh you are the worst type of person blah blah blah” That crap?

Thou: Not this time. I just saw two of them through culture god powers, and then Cookie was disguised as one of my crew members. Sobek, of course.

Thou: Apparently my mods destabilized some sort of limbo god trap or something? Some like, limbo god concept that must have been left in but got cut pre release or something. Idk. I’ve just been spending the last few minutes adding more mods. You can never go wrong with more mods.

Thou: Except when you do.

Thou: Then it's the "Deactivate mods until something works" game.

AbsoluteTrash: Oh shit yeah yeah I know this one,

AbsoluteTrash: Growth or something or other.

AbsoluteTrash: Eventually got cut because man the devs are awful.

AbsoluteTrash: Remember back when that was just a running joke? “Oh man yeah the devs are terrible haha lmao” but now it's just like, yeah. We get it. They’re awful. Its like hanging out with Nike too long, just gets old.

Thou: Pretty much.

Thou: So, wait, you know about this cut god?

AbsoluteTrash: Wouldn’t you like to know.

AbsoluteTrash: ;)

Thou: Seriously? You’re gonna pull this “You gotta pay for that info” on me trashy?

AbsoluteTrash: Hey I gotta get my jollies somehow. :,>

AbsoluteTrash: So what’cha got for me? I normally want sun god info but you don’t care about that soooooooo, drop me some mad info on your modded run?

>She always does this, the moment you want info on something it's a hostage situation. At least she’s being lenient and not asking for sun god run info, she knows you don’t care about that much.

You start typing up a response as you download new mods and update some old ones.

Spoiler

Thou: Alright, so quickest recap:

Thou: Randomized my starting crew, ended up with the Vasikos ship of course because dealing with crew size limits in the tutorial is totally dumb. Ended up with a pretty...interesting crew.

Thou: We had a quelan cosplayer, a gigne devil summoner, an ocquintas gunner, a pagepoh hand model who was like, apparently also a spy? A tegyp financial officer, an itzel trashmaster, a notail captain, oh and job. His job was just..

Thou: “Job”.

AbsoluteTrash: Fuckin, lmao.

AbsoluteTrash: Of COURSE it was.

Thou: And that’s just the starting crew. We eventually got an abomination oomn, a cuppa geneticist, a really cute robot, and another notail who wasn’t even on the crew. He just sort of stowed away on the ship.

Thou: Anyway, game started out pretty normal I guess, our first planet was the kuppa homeplanet, which consisted of half the crew taking a factory tour and the other half buying things. We ended up buying a robot crew member, and when we left we “convinced” a really sassy kuppa to join the crew.

AbsoluteTrash: “convinced”

AbsoluteTrash: L M A O

Thou: Anyway, the planet was super uneventful. We then moved on to some random planet that...actually, I dont think it was even in the dex? I’m just gonna call it cult planet.

Thou: Cult planet almost got one of our crew members killed. Oh and our resident devil summoner mixed a bunch of potions together and forced an oomn to drink it.

Thou: It turned them into an abomination boss monster. With the [Misfortune] trait.

Thou: We just BARELY talked it out of killing us and somehow we made it a crew member? It was insane.

Thou: Then we fought a bunch of cultists, found some notail dude and got the hell out of dodge.

Thou: And then we got to fortuna, everyone made their wish and...oh

Thou: Our captain, the fucking FLORIDA MAN, wished for immortality.

AbsoluteTrash: L

AbsoluteTrash: M

AbsoluteTrash: A

AbsoluteTrash: O

AbsoluteTrash: Oh man that’s good shit right there.

AbsoluteTrash: Alright, I think that warrants…..one question.

Athena As A Patron

Show Content

Spoiler

Powers
Athena is a very strict about being a patron and if there’s one thing Athena hates it’s luck. If you ever roll the lowest possible number Athena will cancel the roll and reroll. The negative side to this is Athena will reroll if you get the highest possible number as well.

Athena will require she makes and controls the leader of your crew. Due to this she will give it extra points and this leader will only have 1 negative trait. You are allowed to give Athena more characters to control but she only requires the leader.



Pros
- Athena will stop being your patron the moment you ask as she is neither clingy nor wishes the player ill will. She honors herself as being drama free as possible.

- Athena sees the player as an equal.

- Athena commonly comes up with well thought up plans and actions as she refuses to fight a battle she does not believe she can win. She knows when to respectfully retreat.


Cons
- Athena requires she controls your ship leader and as such if you and Athena disagree on an issue the leader of the crew will not support the crew’s (Your) actions.

- Athena is hard to befriend and is rather cold about protecting what she sees as pixels. Athena feels as if she is a player, not a character. As such she will sacrifice crew without a thought if she feels it’s right.

- Athena refuses to stop controlling the crew’s leader until you befriend her. Befriending her is a long and tedious task as she prides herself in being emotionless at times.
