Kraia: but that was way too real! the panic on grim and kaizoku's faces while they held those raiders off??? how stone cold the hand got??? the way augury wasn't as twitchy as she normally is?? i think this was an actual attack!


Larimar: I would have to agree with you in that regard, especially with the subsequent short released with Bathory in their medbay. I have worked as a nurse before, and from what I could tell, she was legitimately showing signs of sustaining heavy injury.


Dauph34: I do know that the Kith are prone to engaging in dangerous activities but is this normal for them the sudden attack from that raider ship that was unexpected and all will that be a regular happenstance in these broadcasts I do hope not because I did find it to be quite distressing


semad: ahahah not me that was great i wish that they did get got thats the wohle reason i watch these things in the firts place ahah


FormulatedFoundry: No Dauph34, while being part of the Kith of the Void does come with a certain degree of danger, crews getting attacked and killed randomly aren't a normal thing. This was clearly some kind of fluke, a wrong place at the wrong time kind of thing, so I don't believe it will be happening again. The crew of the Pelekys are going to be way more paranoid now, with how they almost lost Bathory on screen - and potentially off it too.


semad: that was to obad i would have liked it id thse did end up in a death that would have bene great ahaha


violetAXE: So let me get this straight. You're PAYING money to watch all this, and you're doing that in the hopes of watching people die on screen? Why?


xengret: No taste.


semad: ahah the best taste you menba you see a kith die on the srbreen it emans tha tehey did that for real ont the fake sutff stoyr nonesense that goes on all thelk time with whem the death id true amd thats what i pay to waych


Dauph34: I dont mean to offend but that sounds like a horrible way to spend ones time waiting for people strangers that are entertaining you to expire


semad: not an waste of tiem or money i get wha ti like and that is these new meat kith gettitn klled eary os that i dont waste moreon the susbscripiton for the long haul of it al ahaha


violetAXE: That's… not a perspective I expected to encounter.


semad: ahah cone on yuo just ogtt ao get into the whole thing ofn it like what if these people on the pelekys got killde owuldnt that be so cocol to see come on voiletaxe oyou knwo you wanan see ll tehsese pepoele get killed you would love it i jsut know it


violetAXE: No. I very much do not want to see anyone on the Pelekys get killed, thank you very much. I am very attached to them all.


Kraia: right??!! i just don'd understand these snuffers at all!! i wish we could get them banned!


semad: ahah im a payign cutsonmer amd im ont brekaing any rules so thgye cant do anythin to boot be ahah i am plyaign nice enojoying what iu enjyo so when thye od get killled i wil have what u awnt and i move om ahah


xXx_GR4V3_xXx: snuffer?


Larimar: Someone who enjoys watching Kith crews be killed. "Snuff" is an archaic genre where actors were killed for real, instead of pretend, and that's where the term originated from.

Just ignore them. Until they break the rules, they have every right to be here.


xXx_GR4V3_xXx: thank


semad: ahah thats right ya gott alibe with me here wiating for ya pelelkys peoiple to get got aha


FormulatedFoundry: What do you think that thing that was giving off the Storlayacas signal was? I think I need to start looking into Hyttan technology some more, because I can't even begin to guess what that box thing could have been!


Larimar: I agree. It seemed to be portable, whatever its function was, so it could be a piece from a Storlayacas itself? After all, Bathory herself had a piece of Yarula, so perhaps this is a piece from whatever Grim's Storlayacas is named.


Kraia: oh yeah, that might be what this is! maybe because it's bigger is the reason it's giving off a signal? because bathory's piece just seemed to be a random chunk. this looks like a device?


linger857: astute astute perhaps a control module perhaps a power source but tied in all the same to give off a signal the program could track


semad: ahaha whta if its a bumb and ti will blow then al up wehn they fidn it thta would bethe best for me ahahahahaha


violetAXE: I think this is just going to end up pushing the Program even harder. It seemes to be as compelled to find the Storlayacas as much as the rest of them, and though it comes off as a little sinister, a little caught up in its own adjenda, I think the Program is growing a soft spot for the rest of the crew of the Pelekys, and it's going to do all in its power to make up for this mistake.


Larimar: We're of the same mind in that regard. The Program was made to find the Storlayacas, and the organics of the Pelekys have been chosen by the Storlayacas, so I think its more loyal to them than its letting on.

FormulatedFoundry: This has gotta be a prank, right?!? There's no way they're actually going to be going into Bernetigan space??!


Larimar: That flight path seems legitimate, and they've updated the main site with their route and departure time.


semad: ahahah yesyeysyeysyeyeesyesyes thatas the kind of tihng i like ot se ah yeh they for definitey going ot die heer ahahah


violetAXE: They're doing this for real, I just know it. They've got to get their last Storlayacas, and if it's out there in Bernetigan space, then they're going to be pulled there too. But I've got faith in them! Grim's an incredible pilot! If anyone can get them through that space safely, it's her!


Kraia: you're right, there's no way they're going to let the bernetigan stop them! they've almost almost got all the storlayacas now, so there's no way they can fail here!


semad: ahahah oh teyhre gonign to fail fore sure get maed into bnerentengn bofroe teh weeks otu ahahah this osogingn to beso good ahahaha clalling int others ot jumopn thebandwaogn wihle tis fresh


FormulatedFoundry: Looks like they've got a new thread for live updates on this mission, so at least we'll be able to track their progress? This is going to be nerveracking, I just know it!

Larimar: Alright, they're underway now. Less than a week until they reach their destination.


Kraia: this is going to be the longest week of my life!!! at least one bright spot, however! did you see how downright flirty bathory and the hand were being??? i feel like that's the only thing that's going to get me through this whole mess!!!


linger857: kukuku the way you have been effervescing in the midas touch board i almost expected you to be bored of it by now but foolish foolish me you love for these two knows no end


Kraia: it really doesn't!!!! i know they're going to make it out of this! with the way bathory swore herself to the hand!??!? she's going to do everything in her power to make sure they make it out of this alive!!!


violetAXE: Absolutely! They all will!


epidote: The odds of that happening are slim to none. No one makes it out of Bernetigan space alive.

[external link - Stellar Querist: The Inescapable Menace of the Bernetigan!]


Larimar: The odds are actually quite high, for those quick and stealthy enough. As you would know, if you paid any attention to the systems the Pelekys is outfitted with.

And the Stellar Querist is notorious for its false information. Those statistics are both wrong and out of date. Survivability while passing through Bernetigan space is actually quite high.

[external link - Border Fleet Cyclical Report]


Dauph34: That is reassuring to read I do admit I was quite worried but looking at this report and the stealth systems that the Pelekys has as well as their engines leads me to believe that their chances for survival are actually quite high This crew has shown themselves to be quite intelligent so I know they wouldnt have thrown themselves into such a mission without ample preparations and theyve clearly taken the as from what I can tell they are flying much faster than normal and thats not including the slingshot boost they acquired by rocketing out of the galactic core


epidote: You're going to be sadly mistaken about their chances, just wait and see.


semad: ahaha you tlel them ahahahah hte plekeys are al gongin ot be ded befoer teh week isout


violetAXE: Come the end of the week, the only ones who are going to be disappointed are going to be you.


Kraia: you tell them!!!

FormulatedFoundry: And you're old enough to have a financial account, so you should know better by now.

ANYWAY, moving my screaming over to the Midas Touch board, but so far everything is going well with their progress. No slowdown, which is a good thing. Hopefully they can maintain speed enough by avoiding any debris.


Larimar: Thank you, Enammbhra. That was a bit much.


Mod!Enammbhra: Some people never really grow up, alas!


FormulatedFoundry: Alright, day number two, so far so good!


Kraia: they've kept up their speed, saints anoint me! that's very good to see!


semad: ahaha thats not giong ot help them when thye get ot teh deeper pats fo bernetgan spce ahaha rheyre gojnh to be convereted sonen than leter ahaha


violetAXE: Sad to say that you're not gonna get your money's worth out of this one, bud. I may not have Augury's abilities, but I know they're going to succeed!


Larimar: In doing more research into other expeditions into Bernetigan space last night, everything I was able to find corroborates that a swift and silent ship that stops for nothing has just shy of 100% survivability.


epidote: But you're forgetting, the Pelekys does need to stop. Their whole reason for coming here is to retrieve the Storlayacas, and they're hardly going to be able to do that at FTL speeds. Mark my words, the moment they slow down to claim their prize, the Bernetigan will swoop in to have them converted. This is inevitable.


FormulatedFoundry: It really isn't. We haven't really seen what the Pelekys can get up to in a firefight, but we know the capabilities of the Storlayacas. Those things can tear through Leviathan like they're nothing, and Leviathan are as powerful as some starships!


epidote: In reviewing their past combat footage, its clear that their battles were fabricated. Storlayacas aren't real, those are merely extra parts strapped to Odazaen in order to bulk out their appearance. When they are forced to engage in actual combat, instead of the fabricated farce that their editor threw together, then you'll see that this crew is all bravado.


xXx_GR4V3_xXx: proof????


FormulatedFoundry: Wow. Hours with no response. Wonder why!

As for actual proof that the Storlayacas are real, here's links to the Zymeth museum and Necupole auction house where they were held!

xXx_GR4V3_xXx: thank


ALERT: Video uploaded "Confrontation" Click Here


FormulatedFoundry: I have to admit, when I saw tha title, I was more than a little worried, but this is wa more food for thought!


Larimar: Indeed. The Program wanted to be captured, and though it had been fit with some type of control, it disabled it seemingly without notice. Or at least it thought it had. Ever as always, Kaizoku seems to be aware of more than she lets on.


xengret: She's a smart one.


epidote: If she was smart, she wouldn't be going to Bernetigan space. If she were smart, she would send the Program in a drone to retrieve the mech she wants. If she were smart, she wouldn't be risking her crew like this.


Kraia: if you paid attention, then you'd know that the storlayacas don't respond to anyone other than who they want as their pilot, and that's clearly grim that is destined for this one! even if she did send the program in a drone - and whose to say it would even be loyal to her and actually bring it back if she sent it, when we saw with this short that the program as a mission of its own that just so happens to line up with what the crew of the pelekys is doing! - it probably wouldn't be able to get the mech up and running! so what, she should have just sent it off in a ship on its own and tow it back through bernetigan space??? and the rest of the crew has proven that they're all in this for their own reasons, and that they could leave at any time, so if they weren't all loyal to this mission, they wouldn't have stuck around!


Larimar: Precisely. This crew intends on seeing this mission through to the end. Though their motives are a mystery, they're obviously loyal to one another.


semad: ahahah and taht loauylty is giong to get them killed ni the end


violetAXE: I bet that once they have all the Storlayacas, the Program will reveal what its mission actually is!


FormulatedFoundry: I really think so too. Its got more going on, that's been proven with this stunt. But it seemed to respect Kaizoku for it, so here's hoping that it's going to stay loyal to more than just its mysterious mission once they have all the mechs!


ALERT: Video uploaded "Close Encounter" Click Here


Dauph34: Oh no that was almost too much for me to handle I feel nauseous I cant believe they came so close to a Bernetigan ship Fates be praised that they were going fast enough to be mistaken for cosmic debris and that their stealth systems were enough to mask them from detection


semad: ahah to bad thatd eb awesone iftheyd goten converterd now


Kraia: no way they're going to be caught out like that! the ship is too quick, and they can hop into subspace whenever they need, so if the worst comes to pass and they end up getting chased by a bernetigan ship, they can always duck into subspace and try again later! i would much rather them have to make a dozen attempts and come out alive every time than succeed and die!


epidote: To make more than one attempt at this would be the height of folly. They should have cut their losses and not even bothered, as they're only going to wind up dead in this space as is.


violetAXE: As a friend of mine says, wakey wakey, big mistakey!

Larimar: I do believe it will be some time before Kraia and FormulatedFoundry exit the Midas Touch discussion board, as their relay just came to pass.

epidote: Look, I may want to see this ship and its crew get converted by the Bernetigan, but that was absolutely uncalled for.


Mod!Enammbhra: It's honestly impressive how foolish some people are. Anyway, they've been banned and flagged, so they're not going to be watching anything Kith produced ever again. They aren't going to be happy with that, because that includes Kithpress too, and they had quite the little archive in their bookmarks!


linger857: kukuku much appreciation for all your hard work in keeping these boards in working order


Mod!Enammbhra: Always nice to hear that!


ALERT: Broadcast starting "System Entry" Click Here


Kraia: oh i am not missing this!!!


linger857: kukuku perhaps there will be more you can scream about to come from this broadcast


FormulatedFoundry: Oh believe me, it's going to take a lot for us to stop screaming!


Larimar: Incredible, a Hyttan hold of some sort. I wonder what this place used to be, to have that buried in its debris?


xengret: Grim and the Hand going over with the Program's drone. Smart. Take the tech experts.


Kraia: okay that lingering look is going to haunt me for the rest of my days!!!!


FormulatedFoundry: I'm starting up a new fanfic the moment this broadcast is done!!!


Dauph34: A space flight with no tether how horrifying I would not be able to do that


Larimar: The Program was able to open that door very easily. It lends more credence to its claim to be of Hyttan programming.


FormulatedFoundry: Oh the Storlayacas has to be in that cargo ship!


epidote: What was its purpose here? Was this nothing more than a docking bay? It almost looks too small to be one. It almost looks like a shipping container.


Kraia: a thing like the raiders stole from them!


Larimar: If that is indeed some type of recall device for a ship, then could it be that there is yet one more Storlayacas for them to find?


semad: ahaha thts not gnion ot mater when teh ebmnetegen show up adn cnvernt them


xengret: That's a lot of mechs.


semad: yeyeyeyeydyey herre comen the bernetegen finaly coneversion tiem


FormulatedFoundry: No, they're getting out of here!!! Hyttan ships never run out of fuel, and Grim's gonna fly that sucker out of here!!!


epidote: A pointless effort, as the Bernetigan will be on them in no time. The Pelekys ends here.


Kraia: yes yes yes they're up!! they're going to make it!!! subspace tear open!!!


semad: here cmoe the ebrnetengen


FormulatedFoundry: AND THEY MADE IT!!! TAKE THAT, NONBELIEVERS!!!!!


Dauph34: Oh that was thrilling but oh so stressful I fear I need to lay down my heart is pounding so hard I feel lightheaded


semad: boooooooooooooooooooooooo


Kraia: too bad, i guess you didn't get what you paid for! anyway, i'm off to the midas touch board to celebrate!!!


Larimar: I do think I will follow Dauph34's lead and have a nap.


ALERT: Broadcast starting "Taking Possession" Click Here


FormulatedFoundry: Yes, here we go, Grim's finally getting her Storlayacas!!!


Kraia: i wonder what they're going to do with all those odazaen??? sell them maybe?


Larimar: I do know that the Kith pay a handsome sum to any crew who brings any in, and that there are some crews who specialize in Odazaen retrieval. Perhaps the Pelekys will pivot to that, now that they have all their Storlayacas now?


FormulatedFoundry: Well she said they have a lot to discuss, so maybe that's what they're going to go off and do now?


Kraia: oh that was an absolutely wild ride! i knew they'd be able to make it out in the end! now they just need to get back that device that those raiders stole, and they can start down a new path! i simply cant wait!!!
