(Actually it was quite of smart of you to do so, I tried in
paper with calculations while I was constructing the puzzle.
Congratulations, that's exactly where the source is - now you
can understand why I used the word "angles" so many times and I
insisted on it. Have Kilysa do the calculations to find the
hypothetical 90 degrees angle and you can start digging.)
Alina to Sivtress: "Yes, it is the very definition of fun!"
Myranda rolls her eyes.
Myranda to Tegedar: "It's not exactly our 'inside-out' we still
have a layer of skin that protects our inner organs from
exposure"
Alina to Tarakith: "In more ways than you can imagine!" *winks
at Thiror*
Myranda facepalms.

Thirty Azgorlanor-class warships bearing the 'two battling
dragons' of House Valxaryen come near the Formics.
Martax-Admiral Molitor Arvanen engages communications with the
Formic Queen: "Salutations, I am Martax-Admiral Molitor of House
Arvanen, appointed head of the Throne Fleet. I presume you're
the species known as the Formics and that amongst you is your
most honourable Queen Zagara, Talmyr of the Formics? Before I
can welcome you and lead you to the Unburnt One, Talmyr Myrsa of
House Valxaryen, I have to demand your password..."

(Sweet, I bet your like "finally", yes i see now what you meant
by angles now, i was thinking of something like tremors moving
underground which is why the harvesters dug the first Trench. Ok
ill she shall return)
( its funny, I didnt mean for this to happen but, Kilysa is
actually gaining various titles since she is the one responsible
for awakening the psionic gene in the Chrymerions which in turn
was one of the causes of the chain reaction that changed the
Galactic map & other items. Her name is just destined to have
titles with it. )
The Krith pick up on Myranda's reactions to Alina's answers.
Sivtress still practices her smile.
Rynza starts talking to Myranda psionically: "Dont be alarmed
its me Rynza, I didnt want to embarrass you, but we were
concerned for a moment seeing your eyes almost spin for a moment
& we wanted to check & see if your ok. You can just speak in
your mind I will know what your wanting to say."
Tegedar: "Ah forgive me, I had the idea of nothing but jelly
covering your body, but yes skin makes more sense."
Tarakith's wings fold out as she mimics Alina's wink: "what does
this eye motion mean? & I was thinking if you had wings as I &
my cousins that you being light & flexible may help you fly
faster"
Valgorr slowly mimics Myranda's facepalm: "Such a strange
movement"
XerKhon: "What is your culture like?"
-------------------
-------------------
Zagara: "Greetings Martax-Admiral Molitor, Yes we are Formics &
I am Swarm Queen Zagara, & I believe the code your seeking is
"Somandraqish"

(It wasn't terribly easy, so I expected a small delay to its
solution.)
(if you play your cards right she may gain another title, or
knoweledge...)
Myranda tries to speak inside her mind but various thoughts come
across and form sentences of their own (No, I'm perfectly fine -
And now Rokarr's niece is reading my mind - damn, my daughter
hasn't called me for days - err I'm not that fond of smiling for
no good reason and what I did was a facial expression of
dissaproval ..I'm less than social when it comes to my
relationships with others, unlike Alina - I miss Lyr - I'm not
good at this Rynza...)
Myranda shakes her head a bit and responds to Tegedar: "Erm, yes
of course, my paladin propably meant that our skin has a rather
soft feel in contrast to your exosceletons ..we aren't made
literaly out of jelly."
Alina to Tarakith: "It's a secret signal towards a friend, short
of like a nod"
Thiror: "When you wink at someone it can mean a lot of things,
in this case it was a hint to me regarding my knoweledge of
Alina's flexibility ...errr, which I observed during an
incident we had while hunting the Remelaxian Fire Ants and
nothing else that happened prior to that, Captain Myranda."
Myranda makes a rather dissaproving morphasm "I really don't
care what you two do in your spare time lieutenant. However I
demand your professionalism."
Thiror: "Yes of course, captain... and Honourable Tarakith, I
guess it would indeed help in aviation to be light and flexible
..that's why most avian species of Shyr share these two
attributes. Can you fly?"
Myranda to Valgorr: "It's another sign of dissaproval. For
example; It's what frustrated captains do when their crewmembers
can't stay serious for a single moment..."
Alina to XerKhon: "Well, we have dances and parties and
competitions and.."
Myranda: "Well, yes, all of these are correct, but our culture
is quite vast so we better start with the main ideals of our
society which are 'love, family and honour' ..besides,
Frontierers' culture is quite different from other Colonial
Ghashyr cultures and definitely different from Shyrite,
homeworlder culture."
-

Admiral Molitor: "Affirmative, I welcome your greatness, Unburnt
One and Talmyr of the Formics, Zagara, to the system of Taurgha
Talmyrengal - the Imperial Heart - and the planet that gave
birth to our species, Shyr. Follow the main ship with the green
light on its tail, it'll lead you to the landing point in the
capital of 'Datha en Valxes' which is located in the continent
of Urva, the slightly arid mass of land in the southern
hemisphere shaped like a tooth, which you can see from up here."
-Admiral Molitor transmits landing data to the Formic ship.
After reaching the ancient city of Datha the Formics can witness
from their spaceship the fire-fountains and the red banners of
House Valxaryen adorning the Highest of towers and buildings, as
well as myriads of Ghashyr commoners on the ground and balconies
that have gathered to watch the event of the century. The Formic
spaceship is led to land in a wide plaza, high above the ground
and meant for spaceships. A few meters away from the landing
point, on a large bridge with statues of old Emperors, stands a
delegation of the highest Ghashyr officials headed by Steward
Rysannox Galgatyen - before them their respective guards all
clad in heavy Arsazezyn armour, bearing the banners of the
dignitaries' Houses and Offices. Behind the delegation rises in
all its majesty the most massive building-complex in all of
Datha; the Mourning Halls - quite different in style from the
sand-coloured buildings of Datha, its colours range from grey to
black and many frescos depicting various scenes of Ghashyr
history can be seen in its large windows.

(if you play your cards right she may gain another title, or
knoweledge...)
(lol, & so it begins :-P )
Rynza: "alright thats good, ah I see I will let the others know,
not to worry Myranda, if it makes you feel better Formics never
speak in a audible sense in our society & most of the time we
dont speak face to face. We will be sure to respect your minds
privacy."
Rynza gives Myranda a brief smile.
Tegedar: "Im guessing that Ghashyr dont need to molt, & your
skin just grows & stretches with you through your growth
cycles."
Sivtress: "Tegedar I dont think molting is something to discuss
with others"
Tarakith: "ah I see, secret signal, could be a nod or hint."
Some of the Krith snif the air briefly.
Sivtress: "based on the pheromones your giving off im guessing
both of you are mates?"
Tarakith starts fluttering her wings & hovering in the air,
Sivtress & Rynza join her for a few moments then all 3 stop &
fold their wings back into their skeleton shell.
Valgorr: "hmmm interesting"
XerKhon to Alina: "Dances, im not familiar with this word."
XerKhon to Myranda: "It seems somewhat similar, although all in
the Swarm are family & our hierarchy is less complex then
Ghashyr "
-----------
-----------
Zagara: " Thank you Admiral, Ill follow in a Battle ship
instead, these Hive carriers are a bit too large to land in a
city"
One of the middle Hive Carriers opens one of its side ports as a
battleship comes forth & follows the main ship into the strange
planet as, Zagara converts the landing data transmitted & shares
it with her daughters.
The Formics look upon Datha admiring the architecture & the
fire-fountains. As the battleship lands 4 Energy Harvesters &
various other types of formics crawl out of their chambers & out
of the ship standing on either side looking at the creatures
several meters away. Next one port on the ships left side opens
Zagara & her daughters walk out accompanied by 3 Hive Guardians,
12 Soldier Drones, 3 Siege Drones, & 3 Havok Drones. They stop a
moment looking around at the statues & design of the plaza & the
Morning Halls behind the Ghashyr officials. Zagara & her group
walk towards the Ghashyr officials.
Zagara projected an aura of calm & peace.
Zagara: "Greeting noble dignitaries Shyr, I am Swarm Queen
Zagara, as you would say Talmyr of the Formics."

Myranda felt relieved "Thank you, your excelency"
-
Thiror to Tegedar: "That's a very accurate presumption; we are
born with our skin and it grows along."
-
Alina to Tarakith: "Yep, only it is reserved for people you feel
more relaxed with. I once winked to a general after she managed
to get our battalion out of guard duty ..and I got guard duty!"
Myranda: "Private! Don't make me order your restraintment..."
Alina: "Sorry captain, I just meant to use an understandable
example, captain."
-
Thiror to Sivtress: "Well..." *looks at Myranda*
Alina: "It's more of an ...army friendship with benefits."
Alina tries to change the subject and responds to XerKhon "Well,
a dance is when you move your body in rythm for your own
amusement - we usually do that on celebrations..."
Myranda to Xherkon: "Yes, though this is not that indicative of
our Frontierer ideals and traditions... As I was about to say;
Love stands for the love between two soulmates, be it friends,
offsprings, or a married couple and our mission to care for them
and protect them. Family stands for our duty to stand besides
our own close kin and our Lord's kin -our clan- upholding thy
name, in our case; Great House Martael. Last but not least is
Honour, our most important of values, since only through
following an honourable way of life one can find the path
towards enlightenment."
-
The Ghashyr look amazed as the Krith demonstrate their
abilities.
Thiror: " 'ery impressive!"
Myranda: "And you can fly long distances?
Alina: "Could us Ghashyr gain the ability to fly on our own,
pherhaps?"
-

Upon Zagara's introduction all the followers and guards of the
dignitaries kneel, while the dignitaries themselves bow their
heads in respect, Rysannox a middle-aged male Ghashyr wearing
the ceremonial Golden Armour of Stewards opens his arms wide and
the fire-fountains' fire takes the shape of majestic dragons
flying around the bridge and the surrounding buildings, while
the masses beneath start chanting the Reign of Light
HTML https://youtu.be/2hRYRz-K6Po?t=124
as music begins sounding
throughout the city. Rysannox makes exactly five steps to
symbolise the five steps of divine hospitality.
"By the Light in the Darkness and the Eternal Fire that burns
within our souls, the gates of the Mourning Halls shall cease
their mourning and open up for you, Guests of Gods."
The gigantic gates of the imperial palace start opening slowly
while their colour changes from black to a white crystalic, as
sunlight through lenses falls and interacts with organisms on
them.
"Welcome Talmyr Zagara of the Formics to the beating heart of
the Talmyrox, may your reign be enlightened and eternal. You
have before you Echopalad (Steward) Rysannox of House Galgatyen,
Sanqor (Lord-Attorney) Selyna of House Malqamrax, Caepatax
(Marshall) Govis of House Asunmal, Arimsyrox (Economic
Minister) Sarxaxa of House Ymbrel and the rest of the high
council of Shyr ...If you wish to follow me I'll lead you
directly to the Unburnt One."

Tarakith: “signals between trusted friends, makes sense if
you have no psionic link with them”
-
Sivtress: “ Army friends with benefits, never heard of
such a thing, how does….”
Rynza: “Sivtress, let’s not get into any private
details.”
XerKhon: “Dances, we may have to explore this one
day.”
Xherkon: “ Love, duty, & Honour”
-
Tarakith: “Yes but we will be able to fly much greater
distances when we have fully matured.”
Valgorr: “With the right genetic modifications it seems
very feasible.”
-_-_-_
Zagara & her daughters watch the fire dragons fly around the
buildings very intrigued as this capability.
Rokarr: “The gates almost seem to have organic
properties.”
Zagara & her daughters give slight bows to the dignitaries.
Zagara: “It is a pleasure to meet you Rysannox, Selyna,
Govis, Sarxaxa, & the rest of your council”
As Zagara & her unit follow the dignitaries into the heart of
Talmyrox she looks at the magnificent alien architecture &
details it holds.

Alina to Tarakith: "Well, yes, we can't talk in private through
telepathy ...so when others are around we Ghashyr use signals."
-
Myranda looks at her crew and turns to Rynza "Yes, that would be
wiser"
Alina performs a dancing move "I'm sure you'd like it too"
Myranda: "We try to abide these three as much as possible,
though sometimes they may conflict with each other..."
-
Thiror: " 'ery impressive ...and ya can fight on air as well, I
presume -quite an advantage!"
Myranda: "You surely are blessed!"
Alina: "Lovely, I'd give all of my belongings for even a day of
free flying!"

As the Formics and the welcoming delegation enter the Mourning
Halls the doors close behind them and all sounds and sunlight
are lost, giving their way to an imposing silence and low
lighting from rare blue Paxyen crystals that reflects in the
greyish Arsaz(metal) floor - in the left and right infront of
them lies a long hall with giant engraved columns and frescos in
the walls with cold colours depicting the first 100 Taggaren
Emperors of the past in their moments of greatness. In the end
of the long hall there is a large dome with an azure fire
fountain and in the middle of it rises the titan sculpture of
"Azgor Tal", the personification of the one true Light. Rysannox
bows and utters "Most great power of Light, enlighten us all"
Selyna, Sarxaxa and most of the dignitaries do the same
...Govis and a small group turn towards the left where the
statue of a gigantic burning dragon is placed and kneel while
chanting silently "Fireborn, Firetorn, Fire will forever burn"
Selyna looks down on them with disdain as they do.
All dignitaries then enter the massive Throne room; The roof (a
dome) above depicts engravings and sculptures of Ghashyr
fighting the forces of darkness -portrayed by various demons-,
the leading figure in the top of the dome instead of a weapon
holds a torch with a very bright blueish light that enlightens
the gigantic room. Above the ground hover the Arsazezyn models
of all the planets that are, or once were, part of the empire.
In the right and left 'waterfalls' of azure fire are sprouted
out of Dragons' and demons' sculptures' mouths and fall in small
bottomless pits.
In the end of the room there is a stair with 50 steps that lead
to the Imperial throne where the Empress sits wearing her
imperial armour and laurel, the whole Mourning Guard clad in
their black armour standing besides her, while another 50 steps
right above the Imperial throne stands the Firetongued Throne; a
rather simple metal throne covered in gigantic flames that
'lick' the wall in the back, in which the emblem of House
Valxaryen is engraved - two dragons bonding.
The Empress rises from her throne and all Ghashyr kneel and bow
their heads, Rysannox adresses his liege: "Myr of Myres, Unburnt
One and seed of the Dragon, may your reign be eternal. Your
divine greatness, I bring before you your honoured guests;
Zagara, Talmyr of the Formics and her kin"
Empress: "I am Myrsa XIX of House Valxaryen, Talmyr Talmyroxen
Ghaen Shyryen, Lady of all Ghashyr and this hall. I welcome you
to my humble home."

Tarakith: "It makes me think ive stories of the Elder seasons of
our own history before Formics awakened to psionic beings"
-_
Rynza & Sivtress look at each other a moment as they speak
secretly:
Rynza: "Sivtress thats not something to discuss with strangers"
Sivtress: "I know I was just curious, ive never heard of friends
doing that, I thought only mates did"
Rynza: "For us yes because we form permanent links with our
mates, but not all beings do & their ways are different"
-_
The Krith watch Alina taking note of her dance moves with
curious looks on their faces.
Tegedar: "Interesting, you said this is used in celebrations &
ceremonies, is it synchronized or follow specific patterns."
-_
XerKhon to Myranda: " Formic's believe that such things while in
one sense have a permanent aspect to them, in another they tend
to change depending on circumstance."
-_
Tarakith: "Our grandmother & aunts are good at it, but we have
not practiced flying & fighting nearly enough yet."
Sivtress: "Blessed, what does this word mean?"
Rynza: "We've never thought of flying as being that special,
since Ghashyr can travel through space developing mechanical
wings should be quite simple."
-_
-_
-_
As they walked the Havoc & Siege drones sniffed at the Ghashyr
close to them as if they were trying to figure out if these new
creatures were food or not.
Zagara, Rokarr, & Kilysa study the engraved columns depicting
past Taggaren Emperors, viewing the fire fountain the Titan
sculpture the Formic Queens speak among-est themselves as to not
disturb the dignitaries as they prayed & chanted.
Kilysa: "I suppose this is the most powerful Ghashyr that ever
lived"
Rokarr: "I was thinking that, but that reference that Rysannox
just used, power of light, Ator said something similar, I think
this is a deity of some sort perhaps similar to ours."
Kilysa: "It would seem that not all Ghashyr follow the same
deity, seems very strange."
-_
After entering the Throne room the Queens spoke openly for all
to hear.
Kilysa: "Those engravings above must be important battle of your
history, what sort of evil looking creatures are those?"
Rokarr: "This must be the planets in there empire"
-_
At the end of the room Kilysa was tempted to fly up the stairs
but she decided not to knowing that mother & her sister would
not approve.
Zagara & her daughters bow slightly for a moment as the Ghashyr
Empress rose from her throne.
Zagara: "Greetings Myrsa, thank you for having us as guests, I
am Swarm Queen Zagara, & these are my daughters Rokarr & Kilysa.
I believe you've already spoken to Kilysa, I hope her crash was
not a disturbance."

Alina: "I don't know much about our history as my captain does,
but you Formics remind me too of old tales about the God-Kings
my mother used to scare me ...she once told me that if I lied,
the ghost of Torax Taggaren would know it and speak to her in
her mind"
Myranda: "As if an emperor's ghost would care if you lied about
stealing biscuits"
Alina: "Well, it scared me then captain ...and ghosts could
exist, I had.."
Myranda: "Oh please private, not this again about your
paranormal experiences on Sizur Minor"
Alina: "Ok..." Alina seems quite grumpy.
-
Alina to Tegedar: "Sometimes the last, sometimes the former,
sometimes both ..it really depends on the dance! Would you like
to dance?"
-
Myranda to XerKhon: "Well, certainly, some try to balance them
out, some put the one ideal over the other ...it's rather
complicated"
-
Thiror: "If oy weh' ya oy'be train'n e'ery dai ..it moss' be
lamar rejuvanat'n!"
Myranda: "It means you're gifted. Me and my crew are amazed by
your capability to fly on your own ...Thiror, I know you're
excited, but please speak in a more comprehensive accent, no one
in here is from Lampad"
Thiror: "Oy'll.. err-I will do as commanded cap'n."
Alina: " We can fly through mechanical means, yes. But having
natural wings? ...we'd be like dragons!"
-~-
-~-
-~-
Govis seems rather annoyed by the Havoc & Siege drones sniffing
them, he gets infront of the dignitaries thinking that being the
most imposing of the Ghashyr he would cause the drones to stop
acting in such a way.
-
Rysannox: "Dear visitors, above our heads is the 'Eternal battle
of the forces of Light and Darkness' made by ancient sculptor
Xerys Armaryn on the orders of Emperor Naridax IV Taggaren, the
evil looking creatures and their minions are the
personifications of Darkness; the one demon holding a half-eaten
Ghashyr is Bulimia for example, while the figure on the top
holding the Torch is Prophet Marlach - may his light never go
out" he then turns to Rakorr "That is correct."
One of the lesser dignitaries that had chanted to the dragon
statue looks at a particular part of the giant scene were a few
Ghashyr slay a dragon and he mutters very silently "Saints
forgive us..."
-
The Ghashyr all rise with a move of Myrsa's hand.
Myrsa: "It's good to finally meet you Talmyr Zagara and your
other daughter, Rokarr ...and of course to see again Kilysa, in
person this time. Your daughter's crash and the introduction of
your species provides many opportunities in my opinion, but I
would lie if I said it hasn't caused controversy amongst my kind
...may I suggest a group walk in the gardens, so we could
discuss about the future of our peoples' relationship?

Sivtress to Alina & Myranda: "Ghosts, what are ghosts?"
-_
Tegedar looks at his cousins for a moment: "Dance yes, ill try
it, I believe I remember the sequence you demonstrated."
-_
XerKhon to Myranda: "Yes indeed"
-_
The Krith look at Thiror a moment trying to decipher what he was
saying.
Sivtress to Myranda: "Ah I see, thank you for your compliment."
Rynza to Thiror: "Ah yes we nearly forgot to ask you all about
the worlds your from, whats planet Lampad like?"
Tarakith to Alina: "It is feasible that Ghashyr could bind their
dna with these dragons you speak of & take on some if not all
their abilities."
-_
-_
-_
Govis moving away triggered the Siege & Havoc drones primal
hunting instinct, a deep rumble from the Siege drones & a deep
hiss like sound from the Havoc drones could be heard as they
were about to charge at Govis thinking he was potential prey
trying to get away but Zagara instantly had them go back in
formation & no longer bothering the dignitaries.
Kilysa: "Ah I see, Formic's are so use to sharing memories &
thoughts we havent really considered creating such magnificent
art forms."
-_
Kilysa: "Hello Myrsa."
Rokarr: "Greetings"
Zagara: "Ah I see, well im sure we can solve such, Yes a walk is
most welcome."
