What's an Antaeus Fleet?
Why is she trying to climb up the wall?

Wait, the Antaeus Fleet is real? I thought it was just a scary story we told each other to freak sis out.

CYBERNETIC ORGANISM COLLECTIVE
It's not real.
Ships that are destroyed and come back as twisted copies of themselves? Ships that break apart to reveal another warship trapped inside like a bug in amber?
It's a ghost story. Nothing more. We just tell each other about it to scare each other. It's a ghost story. Like the IRS.

It's just a scary story to explain what happened during the Mantid War.
Something blew a hole straight through the Mantid's psyche.
I mean, just the word Antaeus is enough to get her to freak out.

CYBERNETIC ORGANISM COLLECTIVE
Yeah, you know, one of those "I know a guy who knows a guy who totally knew this Marine who ended up as part of the shipboard compliment of the Warspite."
It's just ghost stories we use to scare each other.

The Apocalyptic Game - A LitRPG
20 years ago, on an ordinary day, the world was turned into a game in which human beings were the players. Ever since then, humanity fought against the endless swarms of the NPCs, as well as against each other. Yet in the end, it was all meaningless. The pain. The suffering. The victories and the defeats. This game turned out to be nothing more than a joke, and the last of mankind was mercilessly purged. Shaw was a survivor. She was a player. She was a Warrior. Most importantly, she was the last human on Earth to die. Yet, death wouldn't be the end for her. Instead, she was given a second chance. She was brought back to ten minutes before the game started with all the memories of her 20 years of combat, and this time, she would win. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
