A Hero: A Puella Magi Magica Madoka/Doctor Who crossover MK2

Sayaka has this Martyr complex that's going to make training her extremely difficult. Things will go south, one way or the other.

Here's some more:
============================

“FA-SCI-NA-TING.”

Sec reviewed the scans from the souls taken from the Grief Seeds, as well as measurements of Grief Seeds themselves.

The readings form the Grief Seeds were nearly identical, clearly due to mass production. The material was a mystery, but it seemed to be a processing unit, as well as some form of data storage. There were gaps in the information, places in the data that simply didn’t make sense.

For example, how could witches create their barriers? There had to be some mechanism for the generation of a bubble universe, yet Sec couldn't find any indication of one.

As for the Soul Gems, the superficial scan of Homura’s own had concluded that the gem was a storage crystal, and not much else. Clearly the more complex mechanisms were held in the surrounding structure, which the Incubator recycled into the next Soul Gem.

Following that theory, it meant that every Soul Gem had once been a Grief seed, just like every Grief Seed was once a Soul Gem.
Here the theory moved into shaky ground. Familiars, born from witches, could separate themselves from them and become witches themselves, who also gave Grief Seeds on death…

But of course! That was how the Incubator produced new Soul Gems to add to the system: rather than produce new frameworks to replace lost units or fit an expanding population, the witches themselves would produce new frameworks, using devoured humans as raw materials (Just what those raw materials were stumped Sec. He didn’t like being stumped.). The five people a familiar kills to become a witch must provide it with the energy needed to jump start the device, bringing forth a new witch, almost identical to the old one.

The Incubators, or their masters in this “Coalition”, couldn’t have made more than a few frameworks themselves, after that, the system would supply itself. There must have been two of them per region: one to give to a girl doomed to become the first witch, and a second, given after the original witch had produced enough familiars, to hunt those witches, and give the Incubators the materials needed to expand.

He inspected the sphere of an empty Grief Seed through the disembodied vision of a jury-rigged electron microscope. His casing’s systems monitored the security feeds from the outside and the satellite imagery of Sayaka Miki’s household, as well as the current location of Kyouko Sakura, where Homura was currently located.

He wondered if the visual appearance of Soul Gems and Grief Seeds varied from region to region.

This was his element. He may be the last Dalek, alone, shot by his own people and dropped into an alien universe, but as long as he had his laboratory, his research his science, he didn’t care.

He was about to order Jast to obtain a quantum circuit interface, when he remembered that Jast wasn’t by his side, watching closely. Jast wasn’t even in the same universe, and was most likely dead.

In fact, there wasn’t anyone in the warehouse. Only him, and a mish-mash of electronics and computers to keep him company.

He was alone.

-Has that ever happened to you, Sec-san?-

Yes. It has.

He quickly banished that line of thought, shifting his focus into crafting as adequate a quantum circuit interface with what he had, what he could buy, and what he could fabricate.

He checked the surveillance feed, Homura would arrive in a matter of minutes. He readied the equipment necessary for making a quantum circuit interface, putting an online order for the missing material, sending an outraged letter to the companies that had failed to deliver, and settled down to wait.

He idly hovered towards the one computer which hadn’t been cannibalized. He had done research into human media, most of which he didn’t find interesting. There seemed to be a large amount of electronic games, with an emphasis on storytelling and graphics, none of which he could be bother with.

One, however, had caught his attention. It was supposedly ludicrously complex, generating an entire world at random, populating it with unique inhabitants and keeping track of their health, relationships, and history through long periods. Sec was actually intrigued by those claims, so he acquired it from the developer’s website and installed it on the computer.

Having nothing better to do, he decided to try it out.
==========================

You have no points for guessing what happens next.

I've decided to cut this chapter in half, since it is getting LOOOOONG. Unfortunately, this means that some of the things I've posted here will not be finished until the next chapter.

Also, I need a proper, corny, "The [NOUN] of [SCARY NOUN]" name for this one.

Oh, god... He's not... he is. I love him wanting to ask Jast and remembering he's not there and is dead. Kinda... sad.

Am I missing something, or did Sec just install Dwarf Fortress?

You missed nothing.

Edit: And yes, he did.

Sounds more like the Sims, personally.

Oh god A Dalek with the Lava leaver. That world will burn.

And I'm feeling sorry for Sec again. I thought I told you to quit doing that,

How long until Sec has a fortress made out of pure adamantine barring the far side of a portal to the Abyss?

Please, this is Dalek Sec we're talking about.

Of the many, many fortressess he shall make, ten will die for stupid reasons five minutes fifty seconds in, five will explode, three will fall to beasts, two to catsplosions, another five to tantrums, sixteen will spontaneously combust, seven will fall into a magma pipe, eight will drown in carp-infested water, nine will drown in magma, he'll have one fortress so devoted to killing elves they'll stave, three will be killed by elephants and none of them will see their first wave of inmigrants.

By the time Homura comes back, he'll be drowning in murderous RAEG. The only question is as to what he'll be raging at.

On the other hand, it would function as a fascinating, though obviously frustrating, simulator of the difficulties of building a civilization on a Deathworld.

And once he gets tips from other players, ohh ho ho...

69 fortresses in several minutes? That's got to be a record. And he will be RAEGING at everything in existance.

It is very depressing how well Sec will be able to relate to the game. Not that he would realize it until someone called him on it.

If it was the Doctor, our favorite Time Lord may want to reconsider just how many uncomfortably accurate observations he can get away with.

Huh. It's been a long time since anything has given me a full body shudder.

Oh, god. That cannot turn out good. Though I think that he is good enough to create an successful fortress. Just not in the time it would take Homura to get there.

You should keep an update on how Sec is doing on fortressing. Like a captains log.

Agreed, I would LOVE to see Sec's reactions and such to Dwarf Fortress. Ix, maybe you should start a fic or something where this Sec reviews video games and such?

Seconded (or thirded?)

Agreed as well. That would be... incredibly amusing.

Hah, Sec getting ideas on how to kill stuff from Dwarf Fortress would be funny as hell. Before, he killed just to kill, but now he'll know how to kill people in absurd fashions!

Oh dear lord. I've never played DF, but if half the things I've heard about it are true... actually, I don't know what to expect. Except that it will be awesome and terrifying, probably.

On a completely unrelated note Ix, every time you bring up the Coalition even in passing I want you to hurry up and get to the good Doctor telling them exactly what he thinks of screwing around with mankind.

And followed up by him saying, "Oh, no kindness this time. No mercy, no second or first chance. Your civilization's time is now measured in days... because I want to draw out the suffering as long as possible while helping those girls."

I want to see him building VIP rooms rigged to flood with magma. If anyone could make that work in real life, Sec can.

No, Sec has shown himself to be good with genetic engineering, so the full potential of Dwarf Fortress-inspired Sec can be summed up in one word. Carp.

Oh... God. I can already see the carp armies rising from the rivers and streams... murdering us all... horribly...

This is probably the only time an Alien installing a video game has scared me.

Attempt #1

I have succesfully integrated the human computer's external interface to my sistems and have and reviewed the games instructions.

I have selected an area with a dificulty worthy of a Dalek Supreme, chosen my supplies and am now in the proces of-WHERE DID THAT LAVA COME FROM??!!

Attempt #2

This Fortress has been relocated into a colder climate. I am now in the process of digging a-SWIM YOU PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR AN INTELLIGENCE!! SWIM!!

Attempt #3

WHERE DID THREE MILLION CATS COME FROM?! HOW CAN THEY FIT INTO A CAGE!? AND WHY DO THE HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS A THERMOBARIC BOMB!? EXPLAIN!! EXPLAIN!!! EXPLAAAIIIINNNN!!!!!

Attempt #4

[INTELLIGIBLE SOUNDS OF INTENSE RAGE]

Attempt #5

HOW CAN A CREATURE LIKE THAT EVEN EXIST, LET ALONE SLAUGHTER THESE INCOMPETENTS?!

Attempt #6

Fortress has been succesfull, although the denzien's ability to ignore fire is disturbing. This is likely some sort of programing erro- NO! YOU ARE NOT THIRSTY!! YOU DO NOT REQUIRE ALCOHOL!! OBEY!! OBEEEYYY!!!

And so on...

Loved the updates within the last 24 hours

Now, my favourite nickname for Sec is 'Mr. I’m-gonna-kill-you-with-a-fucking-plunger' - though at the rate the awesomeness is flowing from this story I'm almost prepared to bet withing 3 updates there'll be a new favourite nickname.

A fic on Sec reviewing games and such? Considering how the other thread Ix made on Dalek reaction to human pop culture went, I would hope it'll be more successful if Ix does go for it.

Oh, and I'm with Darth Artemis on this one: ETA on The Doctor arriving in the city? Within 2 chapters?
No hurry though, there's more than enough fun right now without throwing in the Doctor at this point
