Selyna seems lost for a bit but nods and continues: "I hope
Rynza will find Shyr suitable for her cocoon and rituals ...it
will be interesting to see how that goes!"
Ormidor looks his clawed hands covered in scales and shos them
to Rokarr "You mean these? We developed scales in our hands
making them harsher than the rest of our body that is covered in
skin as a mean to hunt prey ...I never considered that to be
peculiar though, heh."
-~-

Myrsa doesn't respond for a few seconds as she tries to think of
what these memories mean.. "This is the closest to a modern
miracle any Draconian would hope for ...but the memories don't
sound very coherent. You said blind and alone? So it has still
memories of the cave ..unfortunate." she reaches her head with
her hand, being in pain after the major stasis spell she used
earlier...
In the meantime, while still despicably harsh, the voice of the
Dragon is more understandable now {{{"RESSHHPEKHHT? PFEH! I
AMHSs A LIZSHAARD ANDH YOU ARHHE AN ANT.. BOTHhh SSHMALL
..ARRHOGAHNTthh ...MORRRTALSSHH! ...HSSHALSO ...MY NAMEhhsS ISH

Myranda looks at the spilled Mythrafal with a calm smile in her
face "It's for our dead ..so that they can join in our
celebration through our memory." she then looks back up to
Kilysa "I'll have my daughter contact the shrubs ..I mean you,
once she takes a look on the shrubs ...oy, that Mythrafal was
really good Thiror."
Alina: "Damn right it was ...my head declared war on itself."
Thiror: "Well, planets aen't revoived e'eryday... ..chee's!"

Rokarr to Selyna: “Oh yes Shyr is more than suitable, forgive me
for not explaining, Onikohei is the ritual in which a Formic
Queen chooses her mate, yes it will be interesting to watch.”
Rokarr to Ormidor: “Yes indeed, so what do Ghashyr think of
Formic’s?
Tegedar stopped eating feeling very funny as if he was becoming
detached from his body, thick fluid was building up under his
shell. He was the first of all Krith to hatch from his egg, all
the other ruling Krith didn’t hatch until after most of the
drone Krith hatched.
He stood up slowly, as he stood a little bit of steam was coming
off of his body, as if there was dry ice in his shell.
(well I rolled some d-20’s & the dice have spoken, lol)

Zagara: “Talmyr, perhaps we should continue this at a later
time, this dragon keeps speaking to me in rather harsh
frequencies.”
Zagara to Re’ni: “It matters not, ill address you as Re’Ni & you
will address me as Zagara, now what do you know of your
ancestors? & of your noble lineage? It is my understanding that
a royal Dragon should conduct itself with more elegance.”
-_

As all the Spawning shrubs were shooting plumes of nutrient rich
mist into Remelax’s atmosphere all ships except Kilysa’s
returned to the Hive Carrier in orbit.
Kilysa: “I see, it is respect to those who have fallen. Haha,
yes she can visit or meet with Rynza & have her send me a
message. Myranda, Alina, Thiror, & Rosdax, my friends farewell
for now, I wish very much to see you again.”
After her goodbyes Kilysa’s ship returned to the Hive carrier.
The Hive Carrier warped towards Nuzeikurga.

Selyna seems fascinated with all that alien-talk and closes up
to Rokarr while still holding her goblet filled with
Nyrnsangor(its smell is rather strong, but sweet) "Ah, a mate
you say? Well, Shyr is indeed suitable for that; 23 billion
flavours of suitable, heh!" she laughs and sips from her goblet.
As soon as Tegedar started having steam coming of his body, most
of the Ghashyr close to him started looking. The Ghashyr maiden
who was sitting next to Tegedar suddenly stopped eating and
turned to him with a worried look "Are you feeling well, noble
guest from the stars?".
Govis: "My god, is he going to blow up?"
(He will blow up, isn't he? Btw, I love using a virtual dice for
some RPs ..especially military ones)
-~-
-~-
The Talmyr almost loses her mind and speaks in a loud harsh
voice using the mask "WHAT?? IT SPEAKS TO YOU?" she suddenly
realises it and continues in a normal tone "Pardon me fellow
Talmyr, I was overwhelmed by the news. ...and yes, it would be
better if we stop."
The dragon gasps and loud mocking laugh sounds are all over
Zagara's mind {{{"HAHAHAHAHA! NOBLE LINEAGZHHHEE? ELEGHHHANSS?
YOU TALK LIKE GHASHHYR, ANT! FULL OF QUESSTHHIONSSHH ANDH
REASSHHONLESSS PRIDHHHE. BVVUT I SSSHALL TELL YOU WHATHH I KNOW.
I KNOW... *the Dragon takes a deep breath as if ready to reveal
a big secret* ...A LOT!! HAHAHAHA!"}}}
-~-
-~-
The Formic Queen and the Ghashyr exchanged warm wishes and hopes
to see each other again Alina even gave Kilysa a small necklase
shaped as a ghashyr with feather; "For Luck" she said.
A few moments later the crew smiled and waved at the spaceship
as it was leaving the atmosphere in the Remelaxian sunset;
having gained Remelax back but also winning a friend in that big
weird insectoid alien scientist called Kilysa.

Rokarr laughs with Selyna: “yes im sure it is.”
Rokarr started thinking she would taste a little of the
Nyrnsangor when she noticed Tegedar. She immediately stands up &
motions for everyone to give him some space While responding to
Govis.
“Everyone give Tegedar some space.”
“No he wont blow up he’s starting his 2nd cocoon stage.”
Tegedar backs away alittle while speaking with the Ghashyr
maiden: “No no, its happening already.”
After a few tense moments organic sap like fluid started
covering his body, his shell started opening in various areas as
a grey creep like material started shooting out like spider webs
to the ground & started solidifying creating a shell with roots
on the bottom digging into the floor. After a few minutes a
rather large cocoon was sitting were Tegedar was. Steam was
coming off of it for a few moments before stopping, its size
suggested that whatever he would become would be much larger
then what he was.

Rokarr walks over to the cocoon examining it. "This is very
different from usual cocoons & larger then I expected."
(He will blow up, isn't he? Btw, I love using a virtual dice for
some RPs ..especially military ones)
(no not blow up, I didn’t roll that badly, lol, nice I use my
own dice some times.)

Zagara: “Not to worry, im sure all of this is very surprising.”
Zagara stops a moment & looks back toward the halls: “Something
has happened, we should probably head back Talmyr.”
Zagara to Re’Ni: “Well dragon, we shall leave for now, take
care, we will contact you again in one form or another.”

Kilysa put the necklace on: “Thank you Alina.”
A few moments later the crew smiled and waved at the spaceship
as it was leaving the atmosphere in the Remelaxian sunset;
having gained Remelax back but also winning a friend in that big

A few days later Kilysa Arives in Nuzeikurga space, Kilysa heads
to Rith’Zerlon an organic forge world were Taknul has been
working on new advancements for the Swarm.

"Do as Queen Rokarr says" Selyna gets up from her sit and tells
the rest of the Ghashyr to move away from Tegedar. Govis orders
the waiters to bring a few medics to stand by for any case.
The Ghashyr maiden along with the rest of the Ghashyr close to
Tegedar are rather shocked and take a defensive position as the
large cocoon forms...
Rysannox walks up to Rokarr rather worried: "What is happening
Lady Rokarr? Pherhaps we should contact Talmyr Zagara
immediately."
(ok, I want to see what will come out of the cocoon...)
-~-

The dragon seems dissapointed by Zagara {{{"PHERHHAPSSHH,
PHERHHHAPSHH NOT"}}}
Myrsa without a second thought sedates the dragon and fall to
her knees, tremendously exhausted she takes her mask off. "I
think so as well... ..Let's head inside." The two Empresses
rush into the halls to examine what happened.
-~-
(Information about the powers of the mechanism*(cannot be used
until some time passes by): "The firestorms were caused by an
ancient Ghashyr weapon of mass destruction located hidden far
inside the ground beneath the north-west that used Remelax and
its atmosphere as two opposite poles, thus the area between the
two acts as a magnetic field, while the device constantly
releases miniscule particles in random radioactive patterns that
get to the aforementioned "magnetic field" (How it works: They
are stopped by the upper parts of the atmosphere and forced to
go down, while when they reach the lowest parts of the
atmosphere - breathable air - they are forced to go up again
until they all are fissioned) and get compressed by the two
"poles" (The planet and its atmosphere) therefore causing
multiple small nuclear reactions - the firestorms - before
vanishing. It is unknown what is the source that powers this
machine, but it propably is powered by the heat of the core of a
planet.")

Rokarr continues inspecting the cocoon while talking to
Rysannox: “It is Tegedar’s final metamorphosis, he will be an
adult soon, my mother knows, she is on her way.”
The Krith gather around the cocoon inspecting it as well.
“Auntie Rokarr, this is what our final cocoon will look like?”
Rokarr: “I think so younglings.”
Zagara, Myrsa, & Rynza walk upon the scene. Zagara walked up
next to Rokarr & touched the cocoon. Rynza joined the other
Krith.
Zagara: “His metamoric state is normal, this must be from the
Chrymerion dna, It seems my calculations were a bit off, the
younglings are advancing more quickly than I anticipated. Let’s
get Tegedar to the ship.”
Zagara’s soldier drones walked up picking up the cocoon, trying
not to destroy the floor underneath the cocoon more than
necessary & swiftly carried it back to the battleship.
(ok, I want to see what will come out of the cocoon...)
( :-P don’t worry you’ll see what all the Krith will look like)

Kilysa landed the Hive Carrier on one of the landing ports of
Rith’Zerlon. The Hive Carrier’s tentacles made a temporary bond
with the wood surface of the planet enabling it to recharge
several times faster than usual.
Kilysa & Taknul greeted each other in traditional Formic fashion
by facing each other & transferring memories they wanted to
share.
Taknul: “Kilysa, im surprised you would risk so much to help
these creatures, mother will be officially assigning planets to
each of us to establish & grow our broods now that we are large
enough to start re-forging our Dynasty. You will certainly
endure penalties for this, even more so then Rokarr for her
actions.”
Kilysa: “Yes I know, but I could not let them have the device,
many worlds have fallen because of it, but there is a chance for
me to help them restore their home, something we were never able
to do. But I need your help, we need to study & learn from the
device, see if we can create something that can counteract its
function.”
Taknul placed her hands together deep in thought for a few
minutes: “Very well, I will help you, but the swarm comes first,
& since this will be risky for me as well I have conditions,
first we will see what new drones we can develop from the
creatures we’ve found on our new worlds & from the new Remelax
samples, Also I’ve developed some new tree strains so we need to
see what new vessel designs & modifications we can develop.
Fulfil these & I will help you as much as I can.”
Kilysa: “I would like to bring M'dRyyl in to help, vessel design
& modification is her specialty, plus I believe her experience
with metal technology will be a great help, also it may be ideal
to invite a Ghashyr since it is their ancestor’s technology.”
Kilysa was assertive with her request but Taknul was not going
to go outside her comfort zone.
Taknul: “M’dRyyl is welcome, but not any Ghashyr, only those in
the swarm are allowed in my territory, now lets us tend to our
new drones while M’dRyyl is on her way."
Kilysa sends a message to M'dRyyl & then reviews the new
potential Formics with Taknul.

A Miscarys-class Battleship rips Remelax's atmosphere while
crossing the sky and lands close to the Martael spaceship, out
of it emerge two hundred well-armed troops bearing the 'Mating
Dragons' standard of House Valxaryen and a Ghashyr-drawn
carriage. Myranda standing a few hundred meters away calmly
picks up the banner of House Martael she earlier had left next
to her ship and along with her crew moves towards the Shyrites.
One of the guards shouts "Stop where you are Zemralsyn, in the
name of the Unburnt One, the Talmyr! We're contacting Imperial
Business in behalf of Lord Samael, seed of the dragon and
Special Envoy of her Greatness ...Tell us where Lady Kilysa is
and make way."
Myranda keeps walking towards the Valxaryens with the banner in
her hands "We're in our home, so I will make way and answer
questions if only I wish so. What do you want here, Shyryen?"
A cackling, loud laugh sounds from within the carriage and an
old, slim Ghashyr aristocrat clad in red robes with an extremely
posh expression on his face gets out of it. "Pardon me, oh great
and most venerated lady of the frontiers for not addressing you
properly... ...SURROUND THOSE IDIOTS!" the lord walks up to
Myranda with firesword in hand and all guards following him,
forming a circle around the small group that now has taken a
defensive stance. Samael looks Myranda directly "You are over
your head paladin. I gave you an order for you to follow like a
good slaveling... ...now tell me where the Ant is."
Myranda seems nervous and angry at the same time as do her
crewmembers: "I told you Valx, I won't answer ...only my Lord
may answer if he wishes." She suddenly leaves a holographic
device in the ground and opens it. The big and slightly fat
silhouette of the Lord of the Frontiers appears before Lord
Samael eating in a table, he suddenly stops eating and addresses
the Valxaryen lord "Ugh, Lord Samael ...the destroyer of
appetites. I assume you came in Remelax to meet Kilysa and take
whatever she found back to Shyr..."
Samael lowers his firesword "That is correct, Lord Ator..."
Ator makes a snarky grin and stands up "Well, unless you also
came for vacations in our beautiful hold, I have to inform you
that I allowed Kilysa -as is permitted by law- to take the
device ...she is probably in her homeworld as we speak!"
The Valxaryen seems clueless for a second and then his
expression becomes similar to that of a wild animal ready to
burst out of rage "YOU DID WHAT? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! HERESY!
When the Talmyr learns of this she will bring her wrath to all
of you traitorous worms!"
The frontierer king laughs and suddenly stops, looking the
Valxaryen as if he was prey "Listen here arrogant bastard and
listen well; Tell your Talmyr that House Martael will not forget
easily that our planets were kept uninhabitable in purpose by
your wretched kin. And while we do not seek war, if she wishes
war she will have it and many Houses will rally to our cause...
...I for one cherish the idea of an Arganraxel restoration."
The atmosphere seems frozen as the two lords exchange words.
Lord Samel: "Is this your final say?"
Ator: "I'd wish to say more, but I'll let you imagine..."
The Valxaryen Lord full of rage made a signal to his troops to
go back inside their ship "The Talmyr will be displeased by this
recent turn of events". In a few moments the large Shyrite
battleship was lost in the stars.
Lord Ator, evidently worried, turns to Myranda: "Admiral, you
must report in the Lyr High Command immediately and assume your
duties ...we have to prepare in the event of a Valxaryen
attack. In the meantime I will inform the Arganraxels and the
Belaryons to be cautious."
Myranda: "As you command, your majesty!"
As the hologram of Lord ator vanishes in thin air the
five-member crew heads in complete silence towards their ship.
Soon, Remelax remains once again silent and serene, as it was
for aces.
---
Back in Shyr, Ghashyr and Formics alike seem to be concerned
with the trasformation of Tegedar and are clueless about what
happened in Remelax.
Rysannox seems relieved by Rokarr's explanation: "Ah, so it is
something normal ...for once I worried he would cause an
explosion."
Myrsa after watching the Formics taking away the cocoon
approaches Zagara: "Is your kin well?" suddenly a repetitive
sound comes from Myrsa's communication device "Excuse me, fellow
Talmyr... I have to respond." She walks away from the Formic
Empress and opens it "What is it Lord Samael?"
Lord Samael: "Your greatness, I tried to contact you, but I was
unable to do so... Kilysa found the device in Remelax and I
personally went there to retreive it..."
The talmyr excited interrupts the old lord: "That is great
knews! Do you have the device?"
Samael seems fearful and ashamed as he speaks: "My lady...
..unburnt one ...Kilysa ...Kilysa left for the Formic homeworld
with the device, Lord Ator permitted her to do so."
Myrsa removes her crown dramaticaly and remains silent for a few
seconds... "If this is some kind of joke, everyone responsible
shall pay with their blood ...WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE LEFT WITH
IT? SHE GAVE A PROMISE! THAT TRAITOROUS COLONIAL TOO... I will
handle this matter directly, you are dismissed."
Myrsa shuts down the communication device and rushes with an
angry look towards Zagara: "Talmyr, I was just informed that
your daughter left with the findings from Remelax and headed
towards your homeworld. What is the meaning of this?"

Rokarr: “Explosion, does that happen sometimes after feeding?"
Myrsa after watching the Formics taking away the cocoon

Zagara was about to explain but then stopped seeing Myrsa needed
to handle something, mechanical devices are so strange. She
started using her powers to gauge Tegedar’s condition but then
stopped when hearing Myrsa’s angry tone.
Myrsa shuts down the communication device and rushes with an
angry look towards Zagara: "Talmyr, I was just informed that
your daughter left with the findings from Remelax and headed
towards your homeworld. What is the meaning of this?"
The rim around Zagara’s eyes turned from a calm blue to a cold
red, she search psioncally for Kilysa but could not find her:
“Who dares accuse one of my brood to commit such an
un-honourable action, show me what evidence there is of this, or
perhaps one of your subjects has the device, she would never
leave suddenly without cause. I want to know what really
happened on Remelax.”
Rokarr & the Krith feel tense: “Auntie Rokarr whats going on.” /
“Something bad has happened, stay on guard, & when grandmother
or myself tells you get to the ship quickly

------------------------------Rith’Zerlon Forge
World------------------------------
The process for assimilating other insectoids can be complex. To
start this process a Formic Swarm Queen would enter a spawning
pool with a single chrysalis containing the dna of a foreign
insectoid Queen, who was usually executed beforehand. In the
spawning pool she slowly absorbs the chrysalis & its contents
while using psionic cellular manipulation to choose which
properties of the dna she wanted to add to her own & the swarms
dna. When she was finished she would calibrate the spawning pool
to automatically except the properties she except so the other
Formic Queens would go through the process much faster.
The process for adding new drones is a bit different. Foreign
insectoid drone would go through rapid mutations having formic
dna bind with its own in a spawning pool. This could happen
several times before a favourable drone is developed. After the
desired drone has been developed, dna samples are taken from the
drone & placed into chysalis’s for each Formic Queen to absorb
as dormant dna to be passed on into eggs along with all other
dormant dna sequences carried by the Queen.
Now, Formics could just mutate the foreign insectoid Queen in a
similar way, but in Zagara’s early years when she was still
perfecting all of her advancements & technologies, most of the
new Queens she spawned in this method were feral & tried to take
over causing more trouble then she wanted. So she started just
executing them. & all the ones that did not turn against her she
left in her home galaxy with her niece.
When Zagara started developing this process only 4 Formic
strains existed, Worker, Soldier, Male Formics (Renamed Hive
Guardians during the war), & Queens.
The first task Taknul & Kilysa undertook was to prepare the
Remelax’s Ant Queens dna for processing. Taknul did the honour
of cutting off the Queen ant’s head with one of her bone blades
& draining the blood evenly into several small chrysalis pods.
She stored them for Zagara’s approval.
M’dRyyl arrives just as Taknul & Kilysa started prepping 12
possible mutations. They greeted each other, but didn’t explain
the fully situation to her, only that she wanted her help in
some new ship design & with a mechanical device she found.

Myrsa not being used to be talked in that tone -especially when
she feels she's right- raises her hand up, suddenly every
Ghashyr stops talking and moving, as she moves her hand down all
leave except from the Mourning Guard paladins ...with her eyes
wide open and full of tense she remains silent, thinking that
pherhaps her brother was correct ...all this good will, all
these tries at treating foreigners as equals... ...failed? She
suddenly turns to Zagara and in a cold, clear voice... "I DARE.
There's no need of further evidence, when even that Martael
traitor admitted he gave her ownership of the device and she
took it with her ...now, why do you not contact your daughter
instead of accusing my subjects of lying ...her actions not only
broke the agreements we just signed, she destroyed the political
stability of the empire."
In many planets owned by Arganraxel sympathisers the news about
the device spread like wildfire, they even reach the far away
outpost of the Fergrangal and the ears of a bitter Valxaryen
Prince, who as soon as he learns of the current situation he
sets course for Shyr.

Rokarr was getting ready to speak after Myrsa’s statement but
Zagara raised her hand & made a swift circular motion. Rokarr &
the Krith went & stood with the Soldier, Siege, & Havok Drones a
few meters away. Zagara was silent a moment angry but calm
apparently deep in thought. These creatures have a weak empire
if a single device can bring them crumbling down, how do they
function with such fractures in organization.
“Kilysa is outside of my range currently. I would like to
interrogate this Martael but I have a feeling this will not be
possible. Honestly this is unprecedented, even Formic law states
that items found on a planet belong to the owner unless they say
otherwise. So how can we salvage our agreements? I have a
solution but I want to hear your thoughts on the matter first.”
--------------Rith’Zerlon--------------
Kilysa: “Hey Taknul do you think we could start on the Ghashyr
device now & work on the designs later.”
M’dRyyl: “Kilysa does have a point, I have a few duties I need
to get back to soon as possible.”
Taknul: “Very well.”
Kilysa’s drones deliver the device to her. Kilysa, Taknul, &
M’dRyyl went over all known information about the device. They
examine the device carefully, taking it apart taking extensive
notes on its construction & design.
