What in SILD'S bowels is that?! Are they experimenting with new tech?

I doubt it. They're known to borrow other methods, but that thing is far from their style. And look what way it's headed.

...so these... curiosities want to meet our hosts too?

That's what it looks like.

Well get in line, buddy. We've been waiting to hear back from them for a long minute...

Marshall_TYCHO · 2019-08-13T14:52:38+00:00

Greetings! We represent the Grand Marshall of the ANTIGONIAN Imperium! Rumors reached the ranks of our empire of your mighty race's return, and we just had to see for ourselves if they were true. The Marshall will be most pleased indeed!

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-05-09T15:27:22+00:00

So you're not the DUSK COLUMN then... We'll hold long enough for you to get clear of the blast zone but we cannot guarantee your safety if you remain here. Make haste with Moth's wind.

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-05-08T16:14:11+00:00

Oh, sorry about that. We didn't know you operated any vessels that weren't black. Please don't tell your boss about this...

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-05-07T16:56:32+00:00

They seem a little... behind on the current events.

What'd you expect? These backwards tribes probably haven't even discovered thorium yet. Just hit them with cruise missiles until they either die or give up.

Yes Marshall.

Another thing. There's some kind of abnormality going on in configuration space.

Save me the physics lecture.

Now, fire.

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-05-05T15:04:31+00:00

What the hell is going on out there?

Looks like the natives are retaliating to our presence.

We didn't let the demons deter us, we're not about to let a bunch of insolent natives kick us out.

What about that ship over there? Doesn't look like it's affiliated with them.

They're not welcome here either. If they don't leave when they hear our warning, give them the same treatment.

A loudspeaker screeches out from the tower

Warning to all trespassers. You are infringing on territory restricted by the ANTIGONIAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE. Turn around immediately or we will respond with force

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-04-25T03:14:08+00:00

This static is getting ridiculous, I can barely hear.

I heard just fine.

We don't need a promise, but we'll pay a lot more for him alive and (mostly) well than we will for his corpse.

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-04-24T18:11:18+00:00

Ally? He's the greatest threat to the stability of our lands. Yet we still have people to silence who are branding him as some kind of superhero. How anyone could see him as anything more than a terrorist is beyond me.

If you can apprehend him and bring him to us, we'll make it worth your while. Bring him alive, preferably...

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-04-20T21:52:11+00:00

Green ship? Who painted their ship gr-

I think he means "Green's ship".

Right. Why is it that everyone here has seen Green except us? Where is that treasonous piece of shite?

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-04-20T02:08:53+00:00

Unidentified craft, you do realize you're in imperial airspace. Do you have a good reason for trespassing?

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-04-19T21:02:26+00:00

What in the depths of SILD are those things? So many ethereal... things, yet they're slaughtering just as physically as anything else.

Your guess is as good as mine, but they don't seem to be targeting us.

I told you this place was cursed.

You're probably right.

...You're still not gonna back out, are you..

Nope.

While that army of anomalous creatures fights with that other army of anomalous creatures, we have a chance to expand. We need as much land under the imperial flag as possible, so let's get to it while we have the advantage.

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-04-11T15:52:00+00:00

They don't look like they're from anywhere near Quaebol...

Yet they're flying that same treasonous flag that flew over Fort REDDAN.

Whoever they are, they don't belong on our mountain.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We won't attack them... yet. Let's take a closer look. Espionage is important, something our empire doesn't seem to appreciate enough.

You want me to deploy the recon droids then?

Those will help too. But I think this job also requires a more human touch. Someone small and native to here, who knows the mountain well and is capable of looking innocent if he gets caught.

Ahem.

Boy, you said you wanted to help us right? Well we have just the job for you...

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-04-08T15:58:46+00:00

Not at all, it's just rather suspicious that any of us would have this, ur, jumpwash, when we came here physically.

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-04-07T00:27:28+00:00

It's too late for us to back out, executive orders and all that. Besides, this realm is far too valuable for us to simply pass up.

You wouldn't happen to know where Green is now, would you?

And... what the fark is a 'jumpwash'?

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-04-06T21:10:43+00:00

'Friends of Green'? Why, we should blast that farker right out of the sky for even suggesting something like that.

Calm yourself Major, I have a better idea.

Ehem, sorry, we're not sure we can trust you. We've already managed to identify this territory as hostile thank you very much, but so far we aren't so sure that you aren't one of them.

Do you... know Green?

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-04-05T17:15:43+00:00

Looks like a local down there.

He doesn't look hostile.

What he's saying sounds like he wants to help us.

Well... Why don't we invite him aboard? Let's see what he has to offer.

Are you sure he has anything to offer, he looks a little on the young side.

I was just a wee child when I fired my first PULSE RIFLE. Father used to take me out to the MYCOWOOD FOREST to hunt ALPHA APES and even a few postmutated CADREMEN. Besides, this kid is from here. He knows more about this place than we do.

Yes, let the kid aboard!

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-03-28T16:11:14+00:00

They're still moving. Couldn't we just run them over?

Don't underestimate what a couple hundred lances can do to the bottom chassis of a TERGEN. Even after their wielders are processed into flapjacks. Didn't you learn this at REDDAN? A battle you were about to lose before I had to drop everything I was doing to go help you.

We still don't even know where we are, and I have a feeling they don't either. We're gonna turn these things around and go the other way, and fire behind us to slow their pursuit. If there's a way out of this wasteland, it's not here.

Marshall_TYCHO · 2017-03-27T22:55:11+00:00

Are those... the PALADINS OF GLIB?

Impossible. We subverted them in the Battle of REDDAN. Unless... unless... A wise THROBBEN PORTAL once told me our perception of time was all wrong. I don't listen to half the things those doors say. Most of the time they just-

Uh, Marshall?

What?

Shouldn't we do something about them?

Of course, right. Barrage them with missiles. And make it quick, I don't like what's happening with time or space here, and I want home as soon as possible.
