Kraia: yes yes yes yes i am so ready for this, stars remember me!!!! does anyone know what time it starts at???
Larimar: Both the Sudoxe's and Pelekys' sites say "Starting Soon" so preparations are underway.
FormulatedFoundry: You all saw the short where Kaizoku and Grim pointed out that the Storlayacas are changing colour, right??? That's not something Odazaen do, is it?
Larimar: No, the color of Odazaen remains the same, as does all Hyttan tech. As far as I know, there isn't a paint that can permanently adhere to any Hyttan material. Or a dye. Not even dirt lingers on them. I know some have speculated that this has something to do with the self-healing properties of the material, but I don't know if that's more than hearsay.
If that is the case, and the Storlayacas actually are changing color of their own volition, and to match the pigmentation of their pilots, and especially with how they seem to be very particular about who they choose to be their pilots, that makes for a lot of interesting implications.
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: lk wat
xengret: The Storlayacas are alive. Or aware in some way.
Dauph34: That is a very interesting development if that is the case the Storlayacas themselves seem so interesting I cant wait to see what Bathorys will be like if it will differ from the others because so far they have been as identical to the others as the Odazaen are to themselves
linger857: i myself am quite excited to see bathory going undercover kukuku she very much looked necupole in the short with the sudoxe crew
Kraia: her as a blonde does something to me
[ID: a animated image of an animal rolling down a hill]
and the way the hand was just glaring at averral the entire time she was flirting with bathory!??!?! saints anoint me!!!
FormulatedFoundry: And what did you think of Bathory and the Hand's duel, round two?
[ID: a cartoon rendering of a smirking face]
Kraia: [ID: several animated images of people in various states of distress]
your smut fill in after that fade to black certainly didn't help matters!!!!! and then xengret's edits of that short???? i need to be hospitalized!!!!!
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: wat
FormulatedFoundry: Head over to the Midas Touch board and you'll see!
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: k thank
Kraia: "i'm not thinking of her at all" okay just put me in the ground already!!! when I tell you i've had that short on repeat????
FormulatedFoundry: The way the Hand just flipped and pinned Bathory like that??? Now THAT'S an implication I'm going to be dwelling on!!
ALERT: Broadcast starting "Gold and Ghost" Click Here
Dauph34: This is so exciting I cant wait to see how both crews will pull this off together
linger857: kukuku bathory looks very very different like that i would have never guessed she was no necupole
FormulatedFoundry: That height difference between her and the Hand when she's in those heels though…
[ID: an animated image of a cartoon creature tumbling end over end]
Kraia: "you still smell the same"??????
[ID: a crudely rendered drawing of a person being blasted through the torso with a beam of hearts and sparkles]
xengret: She's familiar with her scent. Good to know.
Dauph34: Oh how interesting do the Sudoxe often operate with a mobile command center?
Larimar: Yes, they usually have their ship somewhere stealthing close by so that they can extend the range of the command center's scanners.
Kraia: oh bathory is absolutely not having any of averral's flirting! the hand was right about not needing to think of averral at all!!!!
FormulatedFoundry: That is such a look for her, though. Averral is so hot!
Kraia: "you'll end up with teeth around your neck" please i would love to have your teeth around my neck!!!!
linger857: two minutes until we see our destination kukuku the necupole dont know whats coming for them
FormulatedFoundry: Okay but the thought of Bathory digging a subdermal communicator out of herself is doing something for me. Like she can't stand the thought of having anything of another woman in her (who isn't the woman she wants, that is)?????
Dauph34: Are Necupole ships generally not that good
Larimar: As Averral said, they tend to be style over substance. Design wise, they look spectacular, but their performance always leaves a lot lacking. I do know there is a popular aftermarket industry where mechanics will gut Necupole ships in order to replace all their parts with ones that actually work.
xengret: The Aaur Niikaschlde Centre is fancier than I expected.
linger857: fancy fancy in there kukuku the necupole know how to decorate a space
Kraia: shot her down again! averral is relentless, but bathory does not care at all!!!!
FormulatedFoundry: SHE SPEAKS NECUPOLE TOO!??!??! Beautiful and powerful and intelligent and speaking multiple languages?!??
Kraia: guess that makes her a… cunning linguist???
[ID: an animated image of a cartoon beast winking]
FormulatedFoundry: PLEASE. That is absolutely going in my idea folder!
linger857: uh oh incoming
xengret: Now we'll see her in action.
Dauph34: How interesting the Storlayacas has been found for some time then I wonder how many else there are out there just sitting around in someones warehouse
Kraia: wow, that suit looks incredible! i know she's technically the enemy here, but that yara can get it!
FormulatedFoundry: Oh Bathory is SMOOTH. I can tell you with no uncertainty that THAT line would have worked on me too!
Larimar: The Program being maliciously compliant. I will admit, I did enjoy that.
Kraia: sharp is so sweet with her crew, i love that about her. this whole thing with saint hit them all hard!
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: mech fihtg wud be cool
FormulatedFoundry: I'm with you, Larimar, I'm really enjoying how antagonistic the Program is getting with everyone, not gonna lie. I hope we get to see more of that going forward!
Dauph34: None of the necupole attendants have spotted Bathory or Averral so far that is a good thing I would hate for them to be interrupted before they get the chance to get to their targets that would be a bad thing indeed
xengret: Hard to tell necupole apart. A sea of gold.
Larimar: Bathory is quite skilled at mingling in a crowd. She has clearly had experience in this type of environment before. I wonder if she was a diplomat alongside her parents?
FormulatedFoundry: Great, drunks have Averral pinned. Necupole parties aren't that different from the rest of the galaxy, it seems!
Dauph34: But what luck is that not one of the necupole who is selling the Storlayacas among that drunken crowd
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: ya luckt
Larimar: And that's an interesting tidbit - Augury cannot foresee the present. I wonder how far back or forward in time events have to be for her to see them?
Kraia: oh that was so smart, standing in the way of passers by enough that vadna would call her over, especially since bathory brought up the mech!
FormulatedFoundry: I think Larimar is right and that Bathory's had some kind of training in these kinds of social situations. Maybe she was even a spy??? Oh, but THAT could be a fun concept to play with!!
Larimar: So this Storlayacas has been uncovered for more than a century? If she's taking a Necupole century, then that would be just a little over a Cycle.
FormulatedFoundry: And the one the Zymeth had was in their possession for twice as long in that museum, but no mention of when that one was uncovered.
Kraia: and from what we saw in the short, the one kaizoku has was in deupazing possession, but no idea how long they had that.
Dauph34: Oh good Averral was able to get out of that mess it was a stroke of luck that she just so happened to be where one of the people Bathory needed to find was I think things are going to turn out alright for them with this heist oh this is so exciting I cant wait to see how they will be able to pull this off
Kraia: i am a simple woman, if Bathory leaned in to whisper to me like that, i would have folded so fast!!
FormulatedFoundry: Yeah, me too whoops!
linger857: kukuku that woman is quite drunk i wonder if all necupole parties are big drinky drinky time
FormulatedFoundry: Leading her right to the Storlayacas too, she doesn't know what's about to happen!
Kraia: yes yes yes there it goes opening itself up to her!!! wow, what a jump!!
Dauph34: Good thing Averral is ready the way is about to be opened before them I don't see those internal defences being a match for a Storlayacas
xengret: Guards are nothing to that.
Kraia: and there goes averral!!!
FormulatedFoundry: And here comes the other mechs to cover them!!! Those turrets don't stand a chance!!!
Larimar: Dematted, fantastic, there's no way the Necupole authorities will be able to get them now.
ALERT: Broadcast ending "Gold and Ghost"

Kraia: by all the stars and all the saints that was such a rush!!! they really pulled it off!!! i'm heading over to the general board because i need to go off about this whole thing!!!
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:
- Off-topic comments will be transferred to appropriate boards, or deleted if they have no place here
- Solicitations will be deleted
- Derogatory/inflammatory comments will be deleted
- Harassment will be deleted
Dauph34: That was incredibly thrilling I am so glad I was able to watch this broadcast live now the Sudoxe have the ship they need to track down the Shareholder and get their revenge for Saint and the Pelekys have another Storlayacas to add to their arsenal only the one destined for General Grim left I wonder where it could be does anyone know when they will be uploading the conclusion to their part
Larimar: The Sudoxe generally don't have a set schedule, so your safest bet is to make sure you have notifications activated for when they upload new content.
But to bring the conversation back to the topic at hand, the Pelekys now have one Storlayacas left to find, and I am hoping that after this, more of the mysteries that surround the crew will be revealed.
FormulatedFoundry: Right?! Like who or WHAT Augury actually is! There's more to her than meets the eye, I am positive of that! Where do her powers come from? Her visions? Is she peering into timelines herself, or is something (someone??) giving her visions? All we really know about her is that Grim and Bathory rescued her, and she had a Storlayacas.
Kraia: maybe we'll be getting more backstory stuff in the future? but for now we've got another storlayacas!!! i can't believe how effortlessly bathory moved through that type of setting! that has to come from her past as the daughter of diplomats. and where did she learn a necupole language??? saints anoint me, that was so hot when she just started fluently speaking to that woman at the bar!!!
[ID: an animated image of a time lapse of a frozen dessert melting in a patch of sunlight]
FormulatedFoundry: Kraia, we have to head over to the Midas Touch board after this because we NEED to go over their moments from this!!!
But! Back on the topic of general discussion!
Brief as it was, it was really good to see the Storlayacas in action some more! I really hope we get to see more of that in the future, especially since they seem to be changing colour to match their pilots???!!!
Larimar: I to am excited to see what is to become of that. As far as I know, nothing Hyttan changes color on its own for any reason, and no paint or dye job seems to stick to it. Part of me wonders if someone on the team, behind the scenes at least, is from one of the Hyttan institutes trying to get a discovery out there into the galaxy at large.
xXx_GR4V3_xXx: y thnk dat
Larimar: Anything to further our understanding of the Hyttan is sought after - we can use their technology, but only in obvious ways that their design telegraphs, and there could be millions of functions that we are missing because we have yet to crack their language. There are numerous institutes dedicated solely to the study of Hyttan artifacts, but they are funded by the powers that be within society, who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. Anything that could jeopardize that is to be stomped out.
About four Galactic Standard centuries ago, it was thought to be that the Hyttan themselves resembled the general body shape of the zymeth - tall and thin. But then a cache of Hyttan body armour was discovered, full suits of them, and while it didn't give us an indication of what they actually looked like, it did prove that their body shape was shorter and broader than what had been assumed, something more along the lines of the deorvirans, humans, usgaisjan, or deupazing. The Zymeth, of course, didn't want it to get out that the Hyttan more closely resembled the "Lesser" races than it did them, because they had long touted themselves to be the, if not genetic descendants, then the heirs to their legacy, and the insistence that the Hyttan looked like them was a key to that myth. As such, they actively suppressed the Hyttan research institutes from releasing that information to the general public.
And so some members of these institutes began to use social media to covertly spread their research, to the point where too many people across the galaxy knew about it for the Zymeth to be able to cover it up.
With the way the Pelekys has been drip feeding in tidbits about the Hyttan, it brings to mind the covert antics of those Hyttan institute researchers sneaking the truth in under the radar.
xengret: Cool if true.
Dauph34: Really that is a fascinating fact I had never heard of that before
Larimar: This was a thorough deep dive on the subject, if you wished for more information.

Kraia: (saints anoint me formultedfoundry, we really do!!!)
i'd heard a bit about that before, so i'm checking that video out tonight!!!
i wonder where the next storlayacas will be? no idea where augury's was, but kaizoku's was in deupazing space, while the hand's was in zymeth, and now bathory's in necupole. will grim's be in thalatte space, perhaps?
FormulatedFoundry: If it's in any of the Enlightened's territories, then I hope it is in the Thalatte's! Because the only one that's left…
[ID: an animated image of some type of cartoon beast shivering uncontrollably in fear]
linger857: it will be in thalatte no power of prophecy i have but it must be there is no alternative
Kraia: i don't even want to think about an alternative!
instead, i want to think about the look on vadna's face when bathory hopped into the storlayacas and moved the walkway out of the way so that she could break a hole in the wall so that she and averral could get out of there! that was a beautiful thing to see!
Larimar: Looks like the authorities were unable to keep this crime under wraps.
[external link - Pinnacle Gazette "LIVE: Break in at Aaur Niikaschlde Centre"]
linger857: kukuku how unfortunate for the necupole to be thwarted by lesser upon lesser
FormulatedFoundry: Oh I love to see that! Wow, looks like a rival security firm is already trying to capitalize off of this, saying that it wouldn't have happened if they'd been the ones in charge of security for the event! No word about this being a Kith operation yet.
Larimar: It's unlikely that there will be any. None of the Enlightened are keen on admitting that they were made the fool by anyone, let alone an organization that is composed almost entirely by the races they deem their inferiors.
xengret: Arrogant fools.
violetAXE: That's what makes them such satisfying targets!
Dauph34: It is truly astounding how blind they want to remain to what others in the galaxy think of them and the truth of how it's only their numbers that make them superior but time marches forward and people progress they will not be able to maintain their hold forever one day they will come crumbling down
Kraia: but until that day arrives, i am going to celebrate every time a star in their constellation is snuffed out!
and this heist is certainly worth the celebration!!
[ID: several animated images of confetti dispensing apparatuses going off]
FormulatedFoundry: Here's hoping that the Sudoxe drops their part of the wrap up to this adventure soon, as I'm really keen on seeing how they deal with the Shareholder! Hopefully that ship is going to be able to live up to Augury's prophecy and punch through the Shareholder's defences!
Larimar: If it's Sharp at the helm, it most certainly will. She's unstoppable in fighter craft that size.
Kraia: this collaboration was so cool!!! i really hope that the pelekys will be doing more of these in the future! i want to see how they play with others… especially when it comes to bathory and the hand!
linger857: kukuku so one track minded with them amused amused
Kraia: hey, i want to see what happens with the rest of the crew, and this storlayacas hunt too!!!
but i'm powerless in the face of two beautiful women in love!
