Description
A planet crackled into view, filling the window that was half of the cockpit's convex space-- pink."Inhabitable?" You say.
"93% chance that it is inhabited by intelligent life. You can ignore it though, there are more pressing matters. This universe is filled"
"It seems so."
"what do you propose we do? you are onsite" said the voice. It was your A.I.
As you awoke in your tiny flower-shaped cockpit, a backwards bud hurling through space, you remember very little other than that. This universe was supposed to be one of the blank ones, and you were to fill it.
The ship you pilot is a Seed, in many senses. It has the ability to plunge into any object, of almost any size (absolutes have not been determined), and explore the essence of it. If the ship were to leap into the heart of a galaxy, you would explore stars, black holes, quasars. If you were to leap into the heart of a star, you would explore magnetic surges, energies, nuclear forces and the churning elements. The same is true of a person, an element, or a brain. Objects can be collected from the explored regions of these bizarre forms of space, collected in the form of essence.
This Seed ship can load up pure essence of any type collected by the pilot or the A.I. and inject it, with a blast into any object, altering it. It can fire an essence into empty space, allowing it to become a world of itself, or a universe even.
Upon exploring the essence of a thing, the ship is able to assume that world as if it belonged there, altering it's structure and the pilot so that the fundamental laws of that miniature universe do not expel the intrusion. Only then can you truly explore a universe freely, when altered by it. (to be clear, whenever you enter an object, you change)
But all you can remember is that you were to fill this space with an earth-world, with a solar system to provide a space for people, presumably. You have aboard your ship just that-- Essence of Solar system and all the things within it.
You are not surrounded by empty space. Indeed there is a pink planet, likely inhabited, and billions of twinkling stars. What a disaster.
The A.I., impatient for your decision interrupts you. "Well? What shall we do?"

"I'm not sure, maybe you could search if the infection matches any known diseases?" (if the AI is infected I thought she/he would start transforming me just for kicks like it's affecting it's mind)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(ooh interesting. hmmm so the infection isn't an illness, it's more like a computer virus that opens portals and breaks the rule that your body and the a.i. normally follow, which is that they transform if going into a new world. This means something from another dimension that doesn't belong there can invade through any infection point. it's a highway for invasion. if you want to be transformed, go ahead and zoom into something or zoom out!)
"I have and it looks like it does not. but it makes sense that it is a portal, since I create entry points to zoom in or zoom out."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"maybe we should zoom in some more or would it be better if we zoom out?" (also maybe the ai starts wanting to move around outside it's normal ship body and makes a body for itself)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(hmmm this is not the plot I meant for the scenario. Do you want to start one like that?)
"I recommend not zooming at the moment" says the a.i. sounding worried.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(sure do you wish to start over on a new comment maybe I also get transformed into a female too?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(no, I mean you should make a post and play that with other people. I didn't include that in this rp because I wanted to try something unique. If you aren't in the mood for it, that's fine too, but I won't change it)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh sorry did you mean like a story post sort of like continue where introduction has ended?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
look at what other people are doing and do thou likewise
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(oh alright sorry for being stupid)
"hmm we are in quite the pickle"-i mutter more to myself-"and though our original mission appears to be compromised i suggest we land there and gather some samples and information as to not return empty hand"-i tell the AI
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The A.I. crackled, "do you want me to land now?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i nod my had-"yes and prepare my exploration gear..oh and try to land some place safe will ya?"

"Roger that" The ship dove through the atmosphere, dodging pink clouds for lack of info about them, and scooted to a halt on what looked like a sandy flat plain. There was a glimmer all around of pink, and the aroma was floral, fruity, vanilla, cinnamon, and others. A trail of white smoke cleared the nearby hill and was swept away by the wind. It seemed that this place was definitely inhabited. "I'm detecting a tampered essence" said the a.i. "I cannot decide if this was done by someone with our technology, but it seems to be..." the voice hummed behind you. "use caution in your travels. I will try and locate the issue while you are gone" it said.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"of course"-i put on the safety gear and head outside-'notify me when you locate the source of disturbance"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Will do" You notice there is a mountain range all around you, covered in a sort of purplish soil with pink and yellow plants all over it. Upon closer inspection you can tell that they are trees, bushes, flowers, etc.

(am i allowed to decide how my char will change in the world?)"too much bright colors"-i mutter strolling away from the ship in random direction

(kind of. it's really similar to the mirror one as far the rules go)

"Let's do a basic scan of the local solar system. It's help for later development. Figure out possible mining sites, potential wireless solar arrays, interesting locations for scientific research, and places for future settlements."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Do you have a propose priority on those? I can zoom out of this system if you feel it would help" 'Zoom in' or 'zoom out' were simple terms for what the ship could do. Most of the time the ship would be traveling through space-time (like any object), but on occasion it could be used to slip along the fabric of space-time, the vibrations that made up all of reality, allowing the ship to enter an object and come out the other end...
To enter an object was to zoom in, to exit is to zoom out.
As your memories began to collect from waking after the hypersleep, you remember that the A.I. doesn't always know what's best. Must a be byproduct of zooming in and out too often.

"Let's just do it individually please. More likely to develop a detailed analysis than that. Let's start by scanning this planet."

"ah, okay" it said. it was a nasally, kind of feminine, kind of masculine voice. Sometimes it drifted toward deeper tones, other times higher than humanly possible (which was quite irritating). "It shouldn't take long. I'll send out the scatter-back beam now. Powering down auxillary functions" suddenly there was a hiss and the planet was center, right at the tip of your big toes. A bizarre high pitched buzzing began and then a 3d image of the planet began to be constructed at your hip, moveable like a balloon, although it wouldn't drift if you moved it with your hand.

I move it for a good look.

The planet in your hands seemed to be covered with oceans and clouds of pink. There were deep purple soils, yellow patches, and huge golden stretches of forest. It was dotted with cities, but the population appeared to be smaller than earth's by a factor of a thousand. There was also a high level of industry in some parts, while almost none in most. You could see lightning strikes happening in some places, and even the lightning was a decided pink, only it was closer to red in hue.

"Interesting. Deploy the probes for planetary analysis, but make sure not to disturb the planet's inhabitants."

Rapid bursts fire until twenty comet-like balls swish around the planet, zipping down into the atmosphere. "We are getting images" says the A.I. You notice a screen appears to your left, and another to your right. they float through the air like jellyfish. One shows images of a fisherwoman working to haul in some kind of dolphin creature. The other image shows women working in a factory, talking. Data begins streaming: it appears that if there are males on the planet, they are difficult to detect.

"Give me a report on local politics, population, genetics, society, culture, and language once you're done. I need to know where I should go first."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"They appear to be in a strange form of democratic communism. There is no money as far as I can tell. though I see there is trading going on in secret on occasion... They are just over 100 million world wide. genetics is...unknown. would have to get a sample. Society seems to be divided in a complex structure, similar to on earth. they have a fairly uniform culture, however, and only four languages have been detected, with one called McFabin being the main one spoken. If you would like to find a location to visit first, I have a list of attractions..."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Show me the list and the kinds of locals there are in that area."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"The city of Mewsha is the capital of the senate, and the current executive head, called the Sheway, is residing there. The city has people mostly who speak McFabin and there are some that are trained primarily in engineering and working with their minds, while another group is mostly working with their hands and they are simultaneously students. it appears that schooling last for a very long time here in this city. the others seem to be cultivators of the land, animals and plants of this area, though that appears to be mostly in the sewers and rooftops. interesting. I can show you other areas if you wish"

"What kind of people are they? Cat like, reptile like or what?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"They seem to be very much like humans, but all female."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(No TG please)
"Strange. We need a low key area though."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(you don't have to by any means. just...don't zoom in on the planet's essence...or that is a guarantee. but you can avoid it pretty easily. I'm not wanting any of the TF's to be something people get off on-- I want it to be a fun rp rather than someone using me to get off, you know?)
"There is a monastery in the southern hemisphere. They appear to hold the seat of religion for the world. The world curiously only has one religion. I'm getting the impression that this world is not actually naturally built, but somehow tampered"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(I'm okay with many tfs, cactus tf, suit of armor tf, bara, muscle growth, mind change, I'm okay with, but getting breasts or female characteristics and it just ruins it for me. I just don't see myself like that.)
"It is. This is one strange world. Most likely diagnosis, an uplifted planet by some older civilization. Best to go to the next world. We might get in trouble or something."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(what is bara? also that's totally fine. this place, this planet is going to be awkward for you, but You won't have to be tg'd ever)
"We could leave as quickly as we arrived" crackled the a.i.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(It's a term for muscular men)
"Very well, let's go to the next planet on the list."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"There doesn't appear to be a list. we have some exploring to do" says the A.I. The probes re-enter the ship and you are soon out of orbit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Do you have a map of local solar system?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"We only just arrived. I have detected three other planets. Two of them are gas giants and one of them is closer to the local star, but seemingly uninhabited. I have other data suggesting that this system, this planet, has been infected. Maybe we should leave immediately" chirped the a.i.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Very well. To the closest solar system with life."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Two options: one we could fly near the speed of light to the nearest star system, or we could zoom out. That would be risky considering we have knowledge of an infection and tampering. As well as the fact that this universe is not supposed to have any objects in it. However, it would save us a lot of time"

"Prepare to enter stasis, this will take a while" echoed the voice. You notice the cabin began to shut and a bed began to form, transforming from the chairs and furniture cloistered around you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I nod as I go to sleep in the bed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The bed closes around you and your dreams are very strange as you cool down further and further. Oddly, just as quickly as you doze off, you feel you are waking up again. "We are now around the star system number 01010111. I have been searching for a long time for one with life and this one seems to have it. we are in orbit around an unnamed planet. "
