    Pegasus' gun: You print an Everest. You never chose to install this gun, and never will. But you always have, and always will. Every turn, you do not shoot. But you chose to shoot. It has shot. It will shoot. The gun has killed thousands, millions, an ocean of blood and violence laid at your doorstep. And yet it is pristine, fresh with oil from the post-print assembly, a decorative weapon unfit to actually use that is responsible for every murder ever. Including yours. Your eye twitches. You stare into the open barrel, and within that inky black, you see yourself holding the gun to the head of another you, rifling spiralling around you, leading you towards a future you'll never reach, but you will arrive at.
    You print an Everest.

    Thinking about the paracausality of the Pegasus just a little bit more, I've realised that what the Ushabti Omnigun does is erase/ignore/omit/bypass _every single causal event_ involved in the gun's use except for:
    1. Pilot decides on a target.
    2. Target gets hurt.
    The gun does not get aimed. It does not fire. A projectile does not travel.
    Based on the gun's flavour text, it even skips the causal prerequisites of _being invented yet_ and (of course) _physically existing on the mech._

    I had a Goblin Frame called Error Data Not Found, it was such an issue for my DM because I took my pilot gear which was a Camo Cloth, curled into a 'fetal position' and sat silently hacking the ENTIRE campaign. The NHP inside who gave itself the name Echo, was so hell bent on just annoying the enemy I didn't even have to 'cycle it.' The only time I ever took damage was in my Everest, the rest of the campaign I spent hiding stunning enemies, unloading their weapons, forcing them to hallucinate, and even made a Lancer Pilot so paranoid he blew itself up.

    A neat way to look at Paracausality or Paracausal tech is "Things that alter the relation between cause and effect." Easiest example would be the blink gates, as they make the effect of traveling through space near instantaneous. Cause: entering blinkspace. Effect: shortening travel between a and b to a near instant speed.
    The Ushabti "gun" is Paracausal because due to it not being a gun it still transports the artillery of a weapon that may not exist presently. In this instance it unleashes an effect before any meaningful cause can occur. Meaning that black hole looking thing on the back of a pegasus may be more akin to a 1 way temporal or transdimensional portal, which is why it isn't a gun.

      When a human shoots a target with a pistol, they must first predict where the shot will land then squeeze the trigger, setting off a chain of events that terminate in hitting the target. When the ushabti performs the same task, it starts by hitting the target and then works the rest out through [redacted].

    my "who/what is HORUS?" theory is that it's every one of those theories. since they communicate largely via omninet, there's just NHPs and alien horrors working together with "regular human" hackers and they mostly blend together thanks to internet-anonymity and perhaps a culture of not caring about someone's origins / (non-)biology

    how the pegasus guns work for me: it hits the enemy. And because you hit that enemy, it means you fired the gun correctly, and pressed the trigger at the right time. Effect becomes cause.
    Also i think the biggest narrative hurdle with Horus is that well.. rules say you can just choose a horus license, lore says you cannot. You are chosen for it. But why and by who? no one knows. And it may be better no one knows you got your hands on horus tech either, since some think to get access to a horus license you have to kill it's previous owner...

If the analogy was taken to heart then one must also repeatedly jam sharp bits into soft bits everytime happiness in the task is achieved.

He manages to push the rock all the way up and it stays there... and he is now left with nothing to do. No obective, noting at all to strive for... and thus the only thing he CAN do at this point, is to push the boulder back down sooner or later. Because as pointless as it is, it's the only thing he can to do to keep busy for eternity.

If he has achieved the unachievable then there are bigger things for him to worry about then what he will do next. Like if some Spartan who looks like a ghost comes to use him to prop up a door. If he could stop pushing the boulder he not only would but he would be attempting yet another escape (which would make it like his fifth or sixth one at that point. Wonder if Hades would ask for Zeus' help at that point. Replace the first murderer in the burning ring that lights the underworld with Sisyphus so he physically can't escape. Hope he's happy being on fire, bet people take great joy when that happens. One simply has to imagine Sisyphus happy as he's used as kindling). So he would be abandoning his literal metaphorical punishment for his metaphorical literal hobby that earned the punishment.

    Basically, it means that something doesn’t obey the laws of physics. For example, Guardians can jump in mid-air, without having anything to push on.
    they can summon fireballs from nothing, batter you to death with a staff made from lightning, or generate lightning with their bare hands. that's not even touching on their other abilities and gear.

      Step 1: regardless if you're attached to a buddy or not, lock on to a target with your first tech attach.
      Step 2: invade the locked on target to add damage on top of whatever silly hax you pull.
