I greet the other Voices and introduce myself. I am Gaudium, I have only just recently joined in watching over little Yulia's progress here and have merely observed while I have caught up with the events so far. I believe I understand the situation well enough to voice my opinions now.
Regarding the usage of materials, I agree with Gambio that everyone should be equipped with tech armor and plasma rifles. If Maple is able to, a plasma weapon that could be used in melee range like a sword or dagger would be good for Cheri, considering her greatest assets are her strength and body. Perhaps Martin would be able to assist.
I do not know if the tech bodysuit should go to Cheri though. Her current strength comes from Divine Grace and while it is not like most magic, it did come from a spellbook and the bodysuit has proven itself to be able to nullify passive magics like God's Light. If Cheri is able to wear the suit without it hampering her Divine Grace though, I agree that she should be given the suit with the strength upgrade. If Cheri is unable to wear the bodysuit without blocking her Divine Grace, the bodysuit should go to Isalia.
While Isalia has her resourcefulness, I think Lri is a better candidate for the rogue position. Lri has more experience with combat and was one of the Queen's most skilled ambusher. The Veil and Fishbowl should go to her. Isalia would be better in a position where she can use her expertise in detecting traps as a spotter of sorts, keeping an eye on the enemy in case they play any hidden cards.
As for the objects inside of the girls' wombs, I think it would be foolish to leave them alone. There is no telling what it could be. It could be a tracker, a remote activated bomb, or a tentacle robot ready to violate the girls whenever given the command. It would be best to deal with it first and face the repercussions of removing it, rather than waiting to see what it does when it is too late. And doing so while in the Terminal, outside of Sally's sight and reach, would be best. I have a few ideas on how they could be removed.
- As Isalia, Cheri, Lemi, and Lri experienced firsthand, a mechanical tentacle is perfectly able to fill one's holes. If Maple is able to create a hollow tentacle with a modified tip that can expand and open, it could be used to reach and enter a girl's cervix. The tip would then open and extract the object inside through the hollow tube, much like a reverse spider's ovipositor. Of course, the tentacle should be coated in an aphrodisiac to ensure there is no pain or discomfort with the removal and to make the cervix penetration as easy as possible. As a bonus, the mechanical tentacle can be kept as a toy to satisfy Yulia's incubation fetish, perhaps as a strap-on that Cheri can wear.
- If removal is too difficult for now, the best alternative is to prevent the object inside from doing anything. This option would still include a mechanical tentacle, but the tip would be replaced with a modified EMP. The EMP would have to be modified so there's no physical explosion or concussive blast, just a strong electromagnetic pulse. The tentacle would enter the girl's pussy and press against the cervix before the modified EMP releases a strong enough electromagnetic pulse that can hopefully shut down whatever is inside the girl's womb. This idea comes with a few caveats, mainly that it hinges on the object inside of the girl's womb being completely mechanical and not organic, and that the object inside does not short-circuit, as a release of sparks and electricity in the womb would most likely be a very painful experience.
- The final option is through surgical removal. While Yulia has done this before, she had Lemi and Goma on standby to heal. With Lemi's powers cut-off and Goma still missing, Yulia would have to do the healing herself. Having to concentrate on the healing spell while maintaining focus on the surgery sounds like a terrible idea and it takes only a single slip of the hand to cause serious complications. Additionally, when Yulia performed the surgery on Isalia in the past, Isalia's womb had been swollen from the parasite, which most likely made it easier to reach and cut open. I list this idea as an option as it is possible to do, but I think this idea should be avoided at all costs. Besides, the girls' bodies are too pretty to scar.
These are the best options I have currently. I welcome any of the other Voices to express their thoughts on the ideas or any ideas of their own. Regardless, Yulia, make sure to pet Maple for her hard work.
(Hello! In the future, I'll write any non-Voice comments and questions in parenthesis, just to avoid any confusion with my Voice comments and questions. I just recently found this story a few days ago and read all the way up to the current chapter. I very much like the story so far and the concept of a reader influenced story, with this being the first time I have ever posted on the CHYOA forums. Looking forward to the future!)
