linger857: kukuku they have already met good good straight into the action
Kraia: okay hello?!!?! the way the hand is just immediately ready to start swinging on her queen's behalf?!?
[ID: an animated image from a lacertus cartoon, depicting a love struck beast swooning]
Larimar: Augury knows that their next acquisition is destined for the Hand, a fact that the Queen knew as well. Interesting implication there, as it's both of the people who have Storlayacas who have brought this up. Is it possible that Augury's "visions" are actually the product of the Storlayacas themselves?
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: teh armourrs rlly cool
Kraia: jumping ships in transit?!?! oh this is already going to be good!
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: wtha ar they puttin in the walls
Larimar: Something that will no doubt be explained over the course of this video.
They're using stealth tech to mask their electronic signatures. I suppose we'll see how that fares against the security measures in place of wherever it is they are set to steal from.
linger857: many crates much cover kukuku they have done their research into the layout of this place
Kraia: did you see how fast the queen's hand had that door open?!?! nimble fingers, be still my heart!
[ID: an animated image of the character Sun-dappled-trees-along-the-river-bend - an orange and tan baithaizan - from the movie "Seek and Sought", clutching their hands against their chest and sighting dreamily]
Larimar: They're robbing a museum, Zymeth by the look of the architecture. A bold move for their first crime. They're either fools who have bitten off more than they can chew, or they actually have the skills to pull off this heist.
Kraia: that moonlight is pink, i wonder what world this is on?
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: pink???? all light the samn here
Larimar: Some of us are able to perceive color - how light waves bounce off of objects, interacting with values beyond light and dark.
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: wierd butok
Kraia: okay but what is this tension between bathory and the queen's hand???? splitting up the team, mixing the two factions, that could be a good thing or a bad thing! i guess we'll see how well they all play along now
Larimar: Augury possesses psionic capabilities beyond those known, it seems. Projecting images in another's mind. Zymeth are only able to transmit language, as far as I am aware.
linger857: koleopteran send feelings usgaisjan send object not the same not the same
Kraia: maybe augury's from a new race then? one that hasn't made contact with the rest of the galaxy???
Larimar: That certainly seems to be the implication.
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: big cart, they'r gon steel alot huh?
linger857: a heist of course one must take all that one can kukuku
Larimar: So Kaizoku's arm is more than just for show. She was able to get through the security measures on that display in no time.
As this is a Zymeth museum they're stealing from, that speaks highly to this crew's technical prowess.
Kraia: hitting a big risk right out of the gate to show how skilled they are is a smart move, in that case!
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: does museun have mechs??
Larimar: Those who have the funding do. Although, if it were an Odazaen, it would most likely be put on the front lines of whatever conflict those that found it worked for. Having anything Hyttan not in use is surprising, but with the way they've implied that these Storlayacas only respond to specific people, and that this one will only respond to the Queen's Hand in particular, then that would be grounds for it to remain on display instead of being on the field of battle.
Kraia: please tell me it's not just me who is seeing the tension between bathory and the queen's hand??? there is for sure something bubbling under the surface here, right?!?
comment deleted
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: wow rude
Kraia: i look away for one moment! what was that about?
Larimar: Someone proving that there should be mandatory etiquette courses if one wants to engage with others on a social level.
linger857: baithaiz found augury interesting interesting very interesting
Larimar: I did hear something about a Baithaiz colony that had been hosting a tournament to find a pilot for a mech they had. It was attacked, I believe? Let me see if I can track down the article.
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: uh oh guard
linger857: a cape that will camouflage kukuku a handy tool for a heist
Kraia: stars and saints you all saw that right!?!?! the way they were lingering together?!?! bathory had an arm around the queen's hand's waist and the way the hand was holding her like she was going to kiss bathory@!???
[ID: the image of a pair of eyes peering intently x58]
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: ya taht was blatanat
Kraia: [ID: several animated images from an assortment of media properties all showing characters in various states of excitement]
linger857: kukuku a merciful break for kraia let us see what the others are up to
Kraia: oh i am never going to be okay about this!!! if bathory and the queen's hand actually become a thing I am going to ascend into the astral plane without any extra assistance!!!! i'm already relaying them so hard!!!
queen kaizoku is so hot though, look at that strut???? i'd bow before her throne!!!
Larimar: Stealing right from under those guards' noses. She is a bold one.
linger857: kukuku very poor work ethic for zymeth guards not seeing the things they are set to protect be taken from under their watch many people fired in the aftermath i bet i bet
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: woah thats a bunch of stoeln goods
FormulatedFoundry: Oh whoops, missed the start of this, what's happened so far?
Larimar: The crew of the Pelekys are breaking into a Zymeth museum in order to retrieve a Hyttan mech - apparently a new model called a Storlayacas - that will only accept the Queen's Red Left Hand as its pilot. Chancellor Bathory has accompanied the Queen's Hand in order to do so, while Queen Kaizoku, General Grim, and Madame Augury have been stealing smaller artifacts from the rest of the museum.
FormulatedFoundry: Oh damn, good thing Grim is quick! She had that guard down in no time! That's a lot of artifacts they're hauling!
Kraia: that's not all, bathory had the hand pinned up against a wall, using her cape to hide the pair of them from a guard on patrol!!!!
FormulatedFoundry: Did she now??? I'm definitely going to be watching the replay for this in that case!
comment moved > general
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: wht r grim n augury doin
Larimar: No doubt heading to the extraction point with the bulk of their ill gotten goods. Kaizoku has looped back to the artifact wing, clearly intent on the piece that the guards were congregated around. Grim was perhaps too quick in her subduing of that guard from the stairwell, as an alert could have drawn the others away from where Kaizoku needs to be.
Kraia: they loaded that transport they took in with stuff, maybe bombs??? a distraction would be really helpful here
yes yes yes yes back to bathory and the queen's hand!!!!
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: thats a big big big mech
Larimar: I found the article if anyone was interested. [external link - Baithaiz Clarion | Rebellion quelled on Iromay; Unidentified ship steals Hyttan mech]
FormulatedFoundry: Oh that is most definitely flirty banter!
linger857: kukuku bathory has clearly done a crime before this
Kraia: saints anoint me, the way she just twirled her in her arms like that?@!? if this is where they're starting at, i am not going to survive this relay!!!!
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: u racin???
Larimar: In the context of media, "relay" comes from the word "relationship", and it is used to denote both those who wish to see a romantic or sexual relationship between characters, as well as the characters within said relationship.
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: why???? babeis???
FormulatedFoundry: Offspring aren't generally the focus, especially not in this case, as cross-species reproduction is impossible. Some people enjoy seeing the dynamic of others being emotionally intimate, and some people enjoy seeing others be physically intimate. There are numerous races out there for whom sex is a pleasurable experience.
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: tahts rlly bizzare, thye rlly do ne aliens huh
Kraia: stars remember me, if i see these two intimate together, i don't think i'm going to survive it!!!
Larimar: Looks like you were correct, Kraia, they did indeed plant bombs to use as a distraction.
FormulatedFoundry: Kaizoku had that thing out of there quick! I wonder what's on the object she left behind?
linger857: an axe shape maybe an axe message kukuku the program here to cause amuck
FormulatedFoundry: Wow. No way would they have been able to just pop out of there if they'd tried to crash through the roof with a normal mech. Hyttan tech sure is something!
Larimar: Escaping from a facility in a larger than average Hyttan mech, only to vanish in an unknown ship. Perhaps the event on Iromay was where Augury was rescued from?
FormulatedFoundry: Good catch. I will have to check out the article once I watch this in full!
Kraia: wowowow i know most apiarians aren't into that kind of thing, but grim and kaizoku could be a real enemies to lovers relay!
but what were bathory and the queen's hand doing without helmets on in there, hello!?!?!?! the way bathory is smirking like that!?!??!
FormulatedFoundry: Especially after the way the Hand mentioned about the machine opening itself to her??? That's a double entendre if ever there was one!!!
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: dubbl wht???
Larimar: A statement that means two things at once, one meaning obvious, the other implied. [external link - Gramm'in: Double the meaning, double the fun!]
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: thank
linger857: a message from the program kukuku i like to be correct sneaky sneaky axe was a trap that laughs
Larimar: That was certainly a thrilling escapade. Shall we continue this discussion elsewhere now that the video has reached its conclusion?
Kraia: please, i'm gonna lose it!!!
PELEKYS | GENERAL
[PINNED] Mod!Enammbhra: Welcome to the general discussion board for the Pelekys. This message board is moderated, so please be aware of the following:

Larimar: I wonder where they will next be bound for in their search for the Storlayacas?
linger857: a machine so strong so big i wonder why no one has seen one before
Larimar: In regards to the story line the crew of the Pelekys have set up, the reason for that is because these Storlayacas, unlike Odazaen, will only allow the members of the Pelekys to be their pilots. As for what the reasoning is beyond the Kith narrative, I cannot say.
Kraia: but that all took place in a museum, a zymeth one, and there's no way the zymeth would be working with a bunch of what they consider to be the lesser races in order to have this be an inside job or something, so this heist for absolutely sure did happen!
Larimar: The Zymeth are arrogant enough to have a powerful mech on display, rather than use it. Were the Thalatte to possess a Storlayacas, they would do everything in their power in order to bend it to their will. Maybe there is some key necessary to control the Storlayacas, and the crew of the Pelekys happened to find it?
comment deleted
Kraia: maybe because that's slander that's been disproved???? there's literally no evidence for that at all, just propaganda!
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: wow bai bai idiot
linger857: kukuku our thanks to enammbhra eternal
Mod!Enammbhra: [ID: an animated image of the character Genesis Jones - a dark brown human - from the movie "Aphelion Tamer" doing finger guns]
Kraia: yes thank you!
back on topic, the crew has three mechs now, so they're obviously going to be getting ones for bathory and grim next. i wonder if this is going to end up having a lot of tomb raiding in that case??? finding lost hyttan outposts and the like???
Larimar: That does seem to be the most potential route they are going to be taking with this. Despite what the "Enlightened" proclaim, the territories held, let alone explored by the races of the galaxy are fewer and farther between than they would like to portray. The Hyttan homeworld itself has yet to be found, and every race in the galaxy is constantly in search of Hyttan technology.
Kraia: they've got both augury and the program that seem to have some connection to finding the storlayacas, and kaizoku seemed to be able to feel that the one they were going to get was tied to the hand??? so they have some means of narrowing down the search, at the very least
FormulatedFoundry: The world they hit up was Ritroser!!! [external link - The Illuminarium: Bakiz Institute of Technical Curios and Habiliments tries to downplay damage, social media tells a different story]
The short version of all that is that (just the other day!!!) this Zymeth vacation destination was attacked by unknown assailants (article didn't mention anything Kith) who stole a whole bunch of artifacts (all of them from the "Lesser" races) and a strange Hyttan mech that has been on display for a long time! Officials tried to blame the chaos that the Pelekys' explosive escape caused on some kind of power source blowing up, but this is a vacation world, with a lot of people out and about with recording devices, even late at night, so there's a ton of footage from all kinds of angles showing that mech that never moved jumping up and vanishing into thin air while clutching something in its hands!!!!
Kraia: yes yes yes yes that is fantastic news!!!! my girls are really that spectacular!!!
Larimar: Looking into the museum's site, it seems that they've had that Storlayacas for quite some time, and that aside from it being picked up and moved around by other machines, it hadn't ever moved for them. Getting the cockpit open was all they were able to do, and when none were able to pilot it, they assumed it was broken - a concept that flies in the face of Hyttan tech as we know it - or that it was an art piece that was never meant to work.
linger857: arrogant arrogant the zymeth are it wont work for them it wont work for anyone foolish
FormulatedFoundry: I also had a look at that article about Iromay, and the images they had in that were blurry at best, but very much not an Odazaen!
[ID: a low quality image showing a mech rising out of an arena while being fired upon from forces beyond the edges of the picture]
And this looks a lot like the shape of the Pelekys itself!
[ID: a low quality image showing a dark shape that could be a space ship]
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: thts gotta b where augry come frum
Kraia: absolutely!! oh i do hope that they share how that all went down!!! this crew is really delivering on the hype!!@
FormulatedFoundry: They really are!! I have been burned before, so I am really hoping that this crew can keep up with what they've started here.
Larimar: Ah, you fell victim to the Ataxiam as well?
FormulatedFoundry: YEAH.
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: wat
Kraia: about ten cycles back a kith crew - the ataxiam - started making waves by pulling off some really daring crimes, all of them targeting necupole holdings, so people were eating it up. and by that i mean throwing a lot of money their way. it turned out that it was all a scam, that a bunch of shorter than average necupole were hired to go undercover as humans in order to join the kith so that their employer could rob themselves in order to get the insurance money. only the heists were all fake, all the goods just moved elsewhere, and any damage to their property was covered by that insurance so they were able to build bigger and better facilities. the kith caught onto it pretty quick, but not quick enough for a bunch of people to lose a lot of money to the ataxiam, as they'd set up donation links beyond just what their regular subscriptions would bring in. the kith tipped off necupole authorities, who took the company behind the ataxiam to court, and they obliterated them!
Larimar: The most shocking thing about that whole ordeal was that the Necupole courts reimbursed all those who had donated to the Ataxiam over the course of their scam.
FormulatedFoundry: Seeing that payment come through my financial institution was a shock, I can tell you that! The Necupole are serious about their money!
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: o yikes i c y u'd be wary bout fancy nue pelekys
Kraia: yeah it hurt the kith pretty bad for a bit, but they went above and beyond to get things sorted with all those affected, even beyond the cash that the necupole returned to sender. but still, people get a little worried, so it's nice to see that this crew is actually out there doing what they claim to be doing!
linger857: kukuku and also because they are very attractive yes
Kraia: so sue me that i lose my mind over beautiful women!!! can't a girl thirst in peace?!!?
linger857: fondness fondness i jest in fondness your joy brings me joy
Kraia: well good, because i am getting a lot of joy out of the pelekys, so you're gonna be hearing more out of me!!!
