u/MeepTheChangeling

Hello. I do sci-fi art and while I am not looking for this exact thing from Warhammer 40,000 specifically, it's the most clear example I can find. TLDR; I'm looking for small implants that would be roughly flush with someone's skin, spread out across the body, and be used for physically attaching power armor or other cybernetic systems to them. A visual example of what I mean is on the leftmost side of this image:

Hoping to avoid modeling this myself as it wont look as good. Mostly because I don't know a good way to make a "cup" of flesh around where those would go to sell them being attached rather than, you know, props stuck on at places. So I guess a tutorial on how to quickly and easily do that would work too.

For me its an automated message system. A way for a particular nomadic character of mine to send a goodbye message to her friends in the event she is killed or put into a situation where she faces certain death. It's called the Last Goodbye Protocol and there are laws written expressly to avoid triggering it.

See, she's a nomad, but she travels the multiverse. She's also thousands of years old and has developed something of a knack for popping into a universe for the first time in just the right place and time to become a sidekick to or a party member of that universe's chosen one(s). She's also got a heart of gold, does her best to help everyone, even her enemies, though her best is often not good enough. The fact remains she tries. And is well liked. Loved really.

So imagine what happens if a whole legion of world saving heroes suddenly hears their old friend is in mortal danger and have a magic conduit leading right to them due to the interdimentional message that was just sent. Carnage and mayhem to ensure.

Yet, she herself has no idea that would happen. Her only goal is genuinely to give a final farewell to those she loves. What's more, as a dimensional traveler she's quite hard for any given person to find. So no one's been able to tell her about what could happen if that's ever triggered.

You guys got anything like that? Something small, simple on the surface, but basically a nuclear bomb on a heart monitor?

I've been having a problem with sending messages to my dad. Just him. I can send to anyone else. He can send to me just fine. I can call him. But I cannot send texts... Most of the time. Sometimes one goes through, saying it used SMS. But most of the time it just fails and fails and fails and fails, SMS or not.

What can I do to ensure this problem isn't on my end?
