In the Multiverse of Earth Bet very few things ever go right for one Taylor Hebert, a Father that has shut down emotionally when his wife and her mother was killed then a sister turned betrayer by trauma and outside Influence.
But worst of all is the Locker most Taylor Hebert goes through a locker event, a metal coffin filled with rotting garbage and human waste where her flesh was eaten by bugs and rats. She screamed for help for her mother, father, her betrayer, anyone just someone to get her out of this place.
Here is when so many timelines divide, in some she gains the power to control all Arthropods in a three block radius or summoned to another dimension.
This time she gains access to the Celestial Forge, a Omiversal force of Nature that collects all information and powers related to the production of anything, from food to interdimensional Space ships.
But this Sliver of the Celestial Forge has been altered ever so slightly, a soul plucked from the Aether which normally would get a Forge all their own but this time to Forge decided to conduct an experiment all its own.

Taylor banged her bleeding hand against the locker door, her hand bleeding from the rusted metal door and bugs digging into her flesh.Her voice is gone from the hours of screaming in her locker and each hit against the door slowly loses strength till all she can do is tap against the door with her fingernail. Then all she knows is blackness and the feeling of her insides slowly being eaten from the inside.
Suddenly her body was pulled forward by a robotic hand into the hallway and began to scan her over, locating the various wounds and taking pictures of the wounds.
The robot around 4 '6 with bug shaped lenses popped into reality and ripped the door of its henges and if anyone was there to see it as by now the girl had been inside her locker for over twelve hours.
Ever so carefully they picked up the girl and made their way through the school using its advanced sensors. It locates the nearest area with large amounts of computers.
Entering the room it pulls a handheld device from nowhere and begins to disassemble the room down to the studs then moves to three other rooms including a chemistry lab.
With four rooms worth of materials the Entity decides its name as Soma uses the build gun to make a floating stretcher with a rocket at the back, stopping for a moment Soma builds a radio unit.
"Hello! I am Soma, I apologize for the intrusion but my master is in dire need of medical assistance so please keep your roof clear." On repeat on various official radio channels for the Brockton General Hospital and the EMTs.
Loading its charge onto the stretcher and strapping her down then ignites the rocket while it holds on for dear life.
While flying it connects to the local internet to find some information it needs to understand the world it finds itself in.
While streaking across the sky Soma looks out at the city below it, the divide in quality is just as evident at night as during the day. The coast which should be filled with ships unloading cargo was instead dark and the shapes of rusted hulls and beached ships blocked the port, while each section of the city showed its own story. The areas downtown still filled with people and cops could be seen patrolling and a couple were
heading for the Hospital.
Then the rocket engines begin to pitters out and a pair of small wings then deploy allowing the craft to glide towards the Hospital, keeping its eyes on the Hospital a bright light suddenly appears and makes its way at speed toward the flying stretcher.
With surprising speed a young woman approaches Soma with suspicion but flies near the craft with a radio in her hand and flashing a series of numbers for a channel.
Soma gives her a thumbs up (or the closest with its three fingers) "Hello! I'm Soma. My Master is in need of medical assistance. Can you provide it?" Some say with surprising levity but with a small hit of hardness.
Victoria Dallon the superhero keeps her distance but answers, "I'm sorry I can't but my sister can, but you have to answer some questions. She is at the hospital now, so don't fly away from me and I'll escort you." As the hospital had called the PRT to the hospital who was on their way and allowed Victoria to help with the situation.
"Okay!" And soma maneuvers the stretcher to head for the roof which Soma could see is being filled with medical personnel and Panacea Victoria Sister.
Upon touching down the craft it was swarmed with personnel who move Taylor to another stretcher then ran into the hospital below, before they left Soma tries to follow who is then stopped by Victoria so he yells out her name and her address for them to fit her father.
Soma then turns to Victoria, "Thank you for the assistance, I need to follow." They then try to follow once again continuing to be non violent.
"I can't let you enter yet ju-" it then gave her a dirty look and stepped back and grabbed its stretcher, Victoria then backed away thinking an attack was about to happen.
Instead a hair thin portal opens and Soma and the Stretcher disappear from the roof as the PRT arrives down below.
———
Unknown to those outside the Forges pocket space a lot of work was occurring in short succession, the stretcher was disassembled via the build gun into three drones of three sizes.
One the size of a phone, another the size of a dog and the last Soma sized, the phone was the first to leave the Forge just behind the working doctors a small portal opens.
The Drone now called S1D3R began to crawl up onto the wall and point its camera down towards Taylor, she looks worse in a different way as Panacea (Amy Dallon) uses what little extra Biomass to save her life and remove the hundreds of bugs, stds, and foreign bodies from the needles that were in that trash.
The staff were horrified at the circumstances that this girl must have found herself in, then above her bed a blue light appeared telling them to send biohazard to Winslow as she had been stuffed into a locker there.
Then above the Hospital another portal opened and two drones flew out in stealth and sunk into the various area of the Hospital near Taylor's room just in cases
————————
While Soma watched over their Charge/host the PRT and the Police were scrambling all over Brockton, in a slightly rundown neighborhood a motorcycle flashing its lights sped through traffic and swerved into a driveway with an old truck.
Jumping off her bike Miss Militia approached the house, its old she could tell probably from the late 50s, its paint peeling and stairs half rotted but a light was on in the living room.
Just as she was about to knock the door swung open with a man panic in his eyes, keys in hand, "Mr.Hebert! I assume the Police have called you I'm Miss Militia. I'll drive you to the Hospital now, please follow me."
Militia then offered her hand to the disheveled man, he took it and began to ask questions. "All the police said was she is in the hospital and a cape dropped them off." He began to speak faster and faster and panicked at the idea his daughter was dying, sending him spiraling.
She swung her leg over the bike and pulled an extra helmet from her side bag. "Your daughter is alive but she was seriously hurt but Panacea was able to heal her. But she is either being watched by a cape or is a cape herself whose identity is publicly known. Now please put on the helmet."
They then pelted into the street B lining for the Hospital passing another set of emergency vehicles, a mix of PRT Biohazard vans and Fire Department.
When they arrived they saw the scorch marks from the rocket take off and met with Dauntless who was throwing up through the slights in his helmet.
"That poor girl" he muttered to himself then moved to address the other officers, "It's on the first floor, her locker is filled with human waste wear a gas mask. I'm sending a report to HQ."
Dauntless then walked away from the school and called the Director as this situation is continuing to worsen.
Meanwhile he hazmat and for the fire department entered the school and began clearing the school then detailing the scene as many soon realized just how bad the situation was.

-Starting HUB | Satisfactorio Builder (Satisfactory-factorio Gauntlet) (100CP)
Starting HUB (100CP)
Instead of starting with a box containing only the most critical components of the HUB, you start with a prefab base in a box. Set it up anywhere, and as long as you empty it out you can move it around. This base has a craft bench, equipment workshop, a molecular analysis machine, an RTG that produces a small amount of power perpetually, and a spot for the research dropship to land. In addition, it has a rack with a few standard storage boxes and a bunk room big enough for all of you. You start with all recipes that you get from completing the HUB in-game unlocked. Respawns monthly. In addition, you can keep this and drop it at your starting location in future Jumps, if you want.
Satisfactorio Builder (0CP)
The buildy gun from Satisfactory. It can place down buildings and other artificial structures, either from parts or premade. It can deconstruct buildings and other artificial objects, either breaking them down or storing them whole. It can give orders to logistic or construction systems that you are authorized on (including the ones from this Gauntlet.) It can configure the settings of machines. It has an internal inventory that can be upgraded (to a limited extent until you leave the Gauntlet.)
Always fully charged, can be upgraded in other ways, automatically imports into similar handheld stuff, and syncs up with other inventory/storage Perks, Items, and items. If lost, stolen, or broken, it will respawn in an appropriate and safe place immediately, even during the Gauntlet.
* Builder is required to make use of the HUB, it is also a free item.
