>Dragons are forces of nature that reincarnate when killed into new bodies because their spirits are immortal

What sort of form do you suppose a dragon would assume in the age of digital technology?
>>44332146
They exist, they're called; AC-130 gunships
Think the movie PIXEL, Except entertaining.
>>44332146
Probably some sort of AI controlled jet of some type. It would outperform average jets and our AA systems would have trouble pinning it because its lack of organic pilot means it could pull maneuvers that would usually kill the occupants. Because dragons seem to run on magic we could handwave the massive stresses that shit would put on the planes body over time.
>>44332146
An outer layer of sleek, blank metal, bolts of energy arcing between each plate, great blasts of noise flowing from it's maw, each blast an amalgamation of the last thousand radio broadcasts it can trace amplified a thousandfold. It blinks across the world, fading into the atmosphere at a moments notice before reforming in a serpent-like coil of wires, hunks of metal gravitating towards it to reform into the dragon's new skin.

>Powerful leathery wings sprout from the sides of two turbo props mounted on it's back. The beast breaths deeply causing the turbines to spin up before it takes to the air leaving a trail of acrid smoke
>It's head is an array of sensor sweeps allowing it to hear on all radio frequencys as well as detect objects with radar having a version of Aegis so it can track the movement of puny fighter jets and missles
>It has a number of weapons to pick from: The missle racks that are embedded in its shoulders, a Microwave beam located on it's forehead, a GAU-8 Cannon in it's mouth, and a Tomahawk missle in it's chest that is itself partially alive
>Can spawn dragon drones from the hive in it's tail
>it feeds on crude oil and the meat of humans

The very worst bits of robotics, electronic warfare and advanced weapon tech stuffed into the body that outperforms a F-22 while being the size of a boat. Also smart. Looks wise? Seemless titanium skin, gold and glass 'flesh' and 'veins'.

I don't think GAU-8's are safe for any environment.

Skynet, brah. Skynet.
They don't take a form at all, their immortal spirit enters the internet•
>>44333314
But...but Skynet was half retarded at the best of times.
It just so happens that "Half-retarded" is still good enough to kill off the vast, vast majority of humanity.
>>44332146
Smaller and cuter to manipulate humans that will then donate money and operate machinery.
Dragons have livestreams now to gain bank account hoards.

Well dragons have yet to kill off humanity entirely, have they? Skynet = Dragons with nukes.

>digital technology
A massive, flying, information warfare platform. It's "breath weapon" takes the form of a jamming signal, rendering all electronics in the vicinity useless after being hit by it. It can shed it's scales as chaff, and uses a special brand of psionics that can interact with computer systems.
>>44332146
I jump on its back repeatedly and apply fire to it until it dies.
There's also a bigass cannon involved somewhere in all that.

Video game Dragons. They breathe Arcade Fire.

That's the plot of chrono trigger m8tI dig it
The best part should be how it comes into existence
>The Dragon of the Previous Era is remembered the day the Dance Lola pulled into port. A mighty steam vessel used to haul freight from half way around the world, her captain and her engineers noted peculuar and dangerous spikes in heat not in keeping with the fuel she was consuming and pulled into port to have the port mechanics have a look
>It was then that the harrowing sound of steel shearing apart could be heard. The Birth Cries of the Dragon of the Era being born as the steel turned black and sprouted limbs.
>The Beast lumbered onto the docks, the smoketacks billowing with every roar cuasing corrosive rain to fall around it as the sky was tinted with filth. As it moved it grew more and more as the buildings it smashed became part of it's body and the people it consumed screamed for mercy in the belly of its furnace.
>Once it had consumed the battle ship Woglendia, it's main gun now became it's tongue from which it spewed fire and death. It's brick and steel skin seemed nigh impenetrable and if it's physical violence did not kill the filth it left in its wake would do the job in a slow and painful fashion withering plants and causing skin the burn with it's touch.
>Many brave warriors lost their lives to finally put an end to the beast but so marked the end of an era....

Dragons act as Digital Monsters roaming the networks and destroying Data
Fat Neckbeards in ther basement battle them in pitched coding fights and become famous heroes by preventing the destruction of Hospital Servers and other important things
>>44340345
Nah, professional nerds in suits protect hospitals and stuff. They're the knights that rescued royalty and defended castles.
Neckbeards are the folk heroes that manage to scrape out a victory using nothing but scrap and determination, saving some little hamlet(ie furry porn booru server)

How about the form we're already familiar with? We are in a digital age but dragons as we know it are more popular than ever.

What if dragons survived into the modern age; How would they function in warfare, industry and aerospace?
>>44332146

>>44341294
Presumably they're long-lived creatures with an exotic anatomy, and as such they ignore combat entirely because it's for short-sighted and unskilled human cattle. Their long lives, substantial dietary and living space requirements, and probably heightened intelligence would instead make them more suited to (and obligated to pursue) substantial success in the corporate, financial, and/or academic worlds.
