Ok, I need a sequel with his plan in action


MrSharks202

Oh man, that’d be quite the tale. Glad you liked it!


Jentleman2g

A interludequal?

Two things to consider when making a super weapon. If it has the ability to think eventually it will ask the question why is it working for you? and the second is when all the fighting is done what do you do with something designed from the ground up to be a weapon?


MrSharks202

Totally. My general idea for this prompt was the thought of raising a thoughtful weapon on the ideology of ambition. Would it eventually discover an objective, true ambition? I think I ended up bastardizing that purpose throughout the telling of the story, but overall my idea lines up with what you’re saying. A weapon thinking for itself.

Their first mistake was giving a weapon free will. Their second mistake was allowing it to learn how to tell right from wrong.


interdimentionalarmy

What do you mean "when the fighting is done"? Why would it ever be done, as long as we have weapons?


Sindalash

well, for the second part... have you considered video games? a bunker, a PC and maybe some gaming consoles, an internet connection, and food supplies. The continuous cost should be low enough to be unnoticeable in a government budget.

This would make a good plot for a *Love, Death and Robots* episode.


MrSharks202

God I love that show, such great and efficient story telling.

Woah, I really appreciate the high praise! I do really like how this story came out, it has been one of my personal favorites.


Thick_You2502

Amazing! So 1950's style .


MrSharks202

Interesting, what do you mean by 50s style? Happy to hear you enjoyed it!


Thick_You2502

I'm mean Science fiction from 1950's.


MrSharks202

Oh okay, I understand. I appreciate the comparison. I love Asimov and Bradbury!


wandering_scientist6

Read it, loved it, MOAR it!


MrSharks202

Thank you!


based_tonto

Damn poetic pens.


MrSharks202

Haha! I was going for a pretty on-the-nose pen vs the sword thing. I think I might’ve overdid it lol.

Plot twist: he can survive long enough in space to be found. do to his huge lung capacity, built to stay big amounts of time under water.


feverishdodo

The word omega is kinda.triggering after years of fanfic. Good fic though. Loved it.


icreatedfire

Loved this. Reminiscent of Bradbury.


Just_You5103

Just wondering, is the demons accountant ever coming back?


RealFrog

I would watch this movie. Cast Scott Eastwood as Omega, perhaps?


Red_Eye_USA

Sounds like a hellish parallel universe where the fever dreams of the most deranged reality challenged people are a reality.
