Nothing There vs The Thing

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Weird copying things

It's not there vs It's there

Speed is equalized. Battle takes place in a facility surrounded with employees.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

>8-B

>High Regenerationn.

Uhhh. What's Thing supposed to do here exactly?

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Also, this Lobotomy Corporation verse looks Awesome. What's it about?

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

The Thing's absorption is absurd. It ignores durability and even if Nothing There regen, it can keep on absorbing whatever Nothing There regenerates.

I don't think the Thing can kill Nothing There, but it can incapacitate it.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Well, that would depend on how fast Nothing There regenerates.

 

[Abstractions]

Doesn't Regenerationn require there to be damage to the current cells? The Thing does nothing like that, it simply takes over the existing cells by assimilating them, there's no damage being done.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

It's pretty much SCP, except playable, anime, sci-fi and uh, Lobotomic.

Nothing There usually takes like a minute to come back.

@Abstractions I mean if the Thing reshapes its opponent's body even without damaging their cells it's still damage.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

If NT regens in a minute, then there's no way Thing can assimilate fast enough to incap.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Well by that I meant that eventually it'd become so big that it could just constantly absorb Nothing There's regen.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Well, that's assume 8-B AP isn't enough to just flat out vaporize a 9-B. Not like Thing knows he/she/its/they're/whateverthefuck is fighting someone that ridiculously stronger than it.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

It's 8-C in dura. Still tons weaker, but not as huge of a difference.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Ah crap. I forgot about that.

What kinda equipment do Employees have? I'm assuming they're used to dealing with otherworldly bullshit thanks to the setting. Plus, Thing's not gonna be thinking to clearly after getting splattered given how its intelligence works. It's pieces are liable to split iff and go for weaker prey after a hit like that.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Employees have swords, guns...but also swords and guns with mindhax and very rarely death hax. I don't think they can neccessarily exterminate the Thing on their own, but they can probably beat bigger incarnations of it.

There is also plenty of 9-C clerks with no hax laying around whose only goal is to be killed by Abnormalities like The Thing, so.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Well, Death Hax will work just fine, but I'm not so sure about Mindhax. Each individual cell of it is it's own sapient entity after all.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

So, how many employees are lying around? Because that's gonna limit Thing's options here if there aren't very many.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

There is like 15 per departements and 10 departements, so around 150 people.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Hrmm. I'll hold on to see what others think.

 

[Abstractions]

I'm pretty sure with employees the Thing can gather enough mass and replicate enough to the point it could physically overpower Nothing There through mass and assimilate that way.

We do know that Blair estimated it would take three years upon first contact for it to assimilate the entire world population, accounting just for people that's still approximately 4.5 billion, which is incredibly fast.

However, the Thing is unable to replicate non living things or material, this is important because we know it did not imitate or revive Copper after biting off both of his hands, indicating that the bleed out was too fast for the Thing to keep up with.

I think it's 5.5/10 for the Thing honestly, only because it would be nigh-impossible to kill the Thing once it reaches employees, they would be replicating each other and multiplying so Nothing There would be able to do exactly nothing to kill it.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

I mean, the three years thing probably was accounting for it absorbing flies and stuff abd spreading like crazy that way.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Eh, The Thing FRA.

 

[Moritzva]

That One Thing FRA

 

[Ciruno_Fortes]

On one hand.... If that is the case, NT could also just obliterate some of the Employees on its way since it has a tendency to do that, turning them into literal blood showers.

I also remember certain Employees having a sort of resistance to being turned into a Bee Spawn thing by body horror, but that might be more physical damage.

But I think one vital thing about employees is that... can't Administrator just call them into one spot and have them literally kill anything that approaches? Sure it's risky but at the same time they're drone like to the point that they'll be able to do that. That pretty much leads to either NT and Thing duking it on, or NT eradicating them, and then duking the Thing on.


It's weird to include employees imo

But I'm leaning more on a tie for both. But I agree with almost everything here honestly

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Bump.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Bump.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

So whe I go looking for Thing matches, there's nothing. When I don't, suddenly there are, like, a million.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

If this fight is happening in the facility, couldn't the Thing just equip itself with weapons that can harm/contain Nothing There? I'm leaning towards the Thing for that alone. Assimilate a few employees, then just equip itself approperatly and contain NT like it normally would be.
