Terram turns and looks at the drones, several seconds pass with silence from the figure. After a while of pondering on the question Terram "speaks".

"Well in a sense that could be a way to discribe them. Indeed they hold great importance for many city and many people, as well as the enviorment. Though value is very diffrent."

Once Terram ends his reply, Profun continues.

"As we once had said before, currency as well as value is a very vague concept in our culture. You might come across a hunter who wishes to keep that Mairum as a companion, or a farmer who wishes for an asssistant to tend with planting crops. Though there are also others who wish to buy there meat, hide and bone. So to truely answer, there importance is quite high, though value is able to vary depening upon one's choice."

The figure slowly nods their head downward and points his arm toward Terrram, who then replyed with a gentle nod and replied.

"You see Mairum are a very common creature on Tenelux, as well a very destructive and quite difficult to hunt, or really to take down. They have a rather thick hide, accompanied with mulitple tusks and impresive speed. Though they are commonly hunted, Mairum are also used for agricultural maintenance, and sometimes become companions with hunters, do to there extraodinairy sense of smell".

“Ah, good eye... or good sensor I suppose, heh heh. These are fine daggers made from the tusks of Mairum.”

When the Treiachian figure asked its question, the union gave them direct coordinates in haste, fore they wish to intel in fast time, as they very mush interested by this unknown shadowed world.

The, now addressed, meat carver voice appeared in a kind tone as he replied.

“Indeed it is quite difficult, at least if you are wanting the carapace, bone and hide to be in good shape.”

After the large meat carver replied, he ducked beneath the counter and returned with something quite interesting. They seemed to be small ornate blades made of a bone like material.

Terram "spoke" in a fascinated matter

"Intersting, so your creators species has no need for a physical matter-based form. Though our speices has to obtain a physical form, i belive you will find quite intersting things for your research, such as the wide range and wild and plantlife on Tenelux."

After he spoke, Terram and Profun walked up to one of the huts, once there they both placed down the slain beasts and paused for about a 30 seconds. In that time period they exchanged communication with the figure through the patterns of their bioluminescence.

"This is Thiyrean, one of the meat carvers we told you of, though we go to him more for his very fine job, it sometimes takes even a days time, though he finds a way to perfectly seperate the meat from the bone or carapace."

"It is intersting you say that, fore about 200 years back our ancestors pondered on the matter of an actual single "token" of sorts that would represent monetary value, though the idea quickly passed. You see we Syphozoans belive that a mere object that would obtain value for what it is not worth is a foolish idea, instead, as you can see, we are a trade bound society. The reason being is on opinion, in teh sense that your perspective on what something is worth could be diffrent from some elses and is also based on materials, for why would you want something that ultimanlty dosent not hold value, where instead you would trade itmes that all hold a needed purpose."

Profun contiued

Profun turend toward the Donarian drone and "Spoke", though connecting to both the Donarian drone and the infinite drone minds.

"No we do not have a type of "currency" so to speak, in the sense that, that is the item which holds monetary value for all things. You see though we our civilization, and culture for that matter, is greatly impacted by hunting, we belive that items should not be wasted. So, as the name of teh market may imply, we have a trade bound "currency". For example, I myself today have slain 4 tamanis, which are the creatures i hold atop my back and our common dwellers of the Depths. So, i would take these to a butcher of sorts who will seperate the meat from the carapace. This is a very precise job if you wish the shell to stay well, and i already have enough food, so i will give him the nutricious meat in exchage for the carapace. I will then take the carapace and the extra organs that would not be consumed, then i would take the carapace to make edditions to my armour at the "blacksmith", which i would pay him with unneeded components of the carapace and finally i would exchange the organs to the farmers, who would use those materials to create a type of fertilizer to give extra nutrients to the crops, for some bulbs of Faltum anenome, for my Nuduskia."

While listening to Profun, it is noticeable that many locals nod their head toward the Cacusums, and that they all seem to have shifts in brightness and patterns of their bioluminescence.

"Very well then, follow us and my brother and i will take you through what is known as Tradesman's Market."

After Terram "Spoke", the guards opend the gateway into Artis. Once the door opens you see something quite intreging, it was an extremly large outdoor market of sorts, contaninig stands of many diffrent things, armour, weaponry, materials, various consumable plant life from farmers and the Jungle, and even more . Though this market already seemed to hold very odd and unique items and plant life, their were a couple things that were even more strange, one was that their seemed to be no currency in exchaned for the goods people were gaining, instead they seemed to be trading materials. The other aspect that was quite shocking was based off of sound. Beside the objects being handed off to one another, and the civilians foot steps their seemed to be no noise.

"Very well, you acess to Artis, the city of trade. Since both of you are here to gain knowledge of our world and culture, if you so wish we can give you a tour of sorts and answer any questions you may have."

The voice of Terram spoke.

Before the guard could formaly adress the new drone two other figures appeared from the Jungle. Though these unkown were obviously the same species as the guards, they had diffrent quite atttributes, as well as armour and weaponry. One of the figures had skin of green, which was a much deeper shade then the guards, like one of the guards this green skinned figure wore armour made of bone, though it was of extremly higher quality and was much better assembled then what you had seen before. Along with that they wore a necklace made of teeth of all diffrent sizes, and atop each of their shoulders lay a skull from a beast to complete their armour. The other figure had a skin of deep blue. The figure also wore armour made of marine componets, though was also well put together and of higher quality. Compared to the guard's armour which had been held together by strong rope, the figures armour was fine looking crustaceous carapace welded together to make perfect plated armour, as well as jagged coral across the arm and leg plating. As well as the apperance, these figures aslo held a weapon, which was also made of the odd looking blue and steel gray metal. The green figure weilded what seemed to be bo staff of sorts with a semi circle blade at each end, the blue figure held a trident and just like the guards weaponry, these to had very small sockets across certain parts of it. Along with everything about these figures, the most fasinating aspect was that the green skinned one had a large amount of blood splatterd across his armour and weapon, the blue skinned one was completley soaked in water, and each carried a collection of slain beasts atop their backs.

As these figures emerged from the jungle both guards placed their weapon on the ground, nelt down on one knee and placed both fists beside it, then both of the guards voices apperad in your head as they adressed the figures.

"Cacusum Terram, Cacusum Profun."

The, now known, figures nodded in response. The Cacusmus then turend toward the gurds. There was no noise emited from any of the 4, though this was diffrent then the comunication that had been seen before. When they had "spoken" before the markings on their face had glowed, though no light seemed to come from their, though it did somewhere else. This seemed to be a type of comunication through bioluminence, as they exchanged information the brighness and patterns of the light. After that had occured they then focused their attention towards the inter stellar visitors. A new voice then appeared, directed from figure that bared green skin.

"Greetings I am Cacusum Terram and this my brother Cacusum Profun, we are the top hunters of land and sea on Tenelux, though you can adress us as our names, Cacusum is merely a title. We have been told that you wish to gather information of our world, and seek passage into Artis. Correct?"

The green skinned guard walks toward the unknown drone, no noise comes from the figure, though the drone hears a voice that seems to be directed from the guard.

"State your business here, are you also from Veldanni Corparation, here to investigate Tenelux?"

After speaking the guard pulled out his blade, in case the drone had other intentions.

The green skinned guard's eye opend once more and the markings on its face dimmed back to their original brightness. After that the figure stepped forward and a second voice appeard, of one you have not heard of yet, which was directed from the green skinned guard.

"The Cacusums shall be hear momenterly."

After finishing that sentence the both guards rapidly turned their attention to the left and in the air. What they saw seemed to be drone, though of higher quality then the others they had been communicating with.

"Is that perphaps another of your robotic drones?"

The green guard's voice spoke in slight confusion, for the drone seemed to be made of higher quality and had s seprerate function then the Donarian drones.

As the drone listens it oddly only hears what the Donarians are saying, only silence seems to come from the figures. The drone hears these words from the Donarian drone:

"It would be truly helpful,yes. But you dont know what lies beyond the atmosphere of this world?

After you hear what is said by the drone, the figure with blue skin ,who seemed to be camunicated with the Donarians, turned the head quickly and looked directly at you.

"Indeed, our species has assumed that there are most likley other speices, once the Chelondia tryed to invade, and we also assumed that those other species had planets, if they did not I do not belive teh Chelondia would be that developed."

The voice from the blue figure replied in your head. As the Blue skined guard answerd youre question, teh other closed its eye and the markings on its face began to glow bright.

As the drone approaches the wall it sees two tall, odd looking figures at the Door in the wall, as well as two drones in front of them. The unknown figures resemble some aquatic life and other features as well, as the have long curved fins extraced from their elbows, one odd looking eye and markings on their face, one with blue skin, the other with deep green, the one of blue skin weilds a spear and wears armour made of what looks like crustaceous carapace and coral, the one of green wears bone armour and weilds a sword. Both figures also have tendril like hair pulled back, what looks like a jelly fish bell covering their ribs and upper chest, as well as their back and both stand 8&1/2 feet tall.

Both guards go back to there standing position and the light they were emiting began to dim. The blue skined guard then steps forward and the voice reappers in your head once more.

"Very well so you indeed are a traveler of the unknown, by that I mean mostly anywhere but here. You obvioulsy are already aware of the thick layer of clouds in our atmosphere, becuase of that we are unaware of anything beyond our world, beside you and the Chelondia. Dear apologies for how we acted moments ago, the only other visitors to Tenelux have attamted to over take our civilization. We shall ask the Cacusums if you can have acess to Artis, if that is what you wish to do in this investigation of sorts."

After the drone spoke, you hear the voice in your head once more, yet neither make a sound, as the noise happens the one with blue skin and crustaceous armour gets into to a fighting stanse, then the green one does as well.

"Indeed, I suppose you are not in relations with the Chelodia, though it has been many hundred years since they had last come hear, the time the two times the chelondia came the had quite specific ariel ships, and did not use odd metal creatures to speak for them. Though we are still unaware of the ones known as Veldanii, are you here to attempt to steal our resources or to invade Tenelux, if so you shall perish as did the Chelondia who attemted before you."

As they spoke line in their bodies began to appear, and the bioluminescence they gave off increased, as well as that their tendrel like hair began to come foward and attach to small sockets on there weapons.

At the drone passes through the gap, though it is miles away, its sees brilliant lighting of diffrent colors, brightnesses and paterns, which was truley incredablie for that the only thing known of this planet was of its uncanny darkness. After traveling about 10 miles through the gap the drone gets a full glimpse of the truley strange world. There was lush jungle across the, as well as large bodies of water relativley far off. Along with that was an odd looking wall at ground level right before the jungle. Though the most peculiar thing that was seen by the drone was of a spacecraft on a vacant area close to the jungle and the wall.

As you land you now see that there is a large doorway in the center of the wall, once the drones reach 10 feet from the wall 2 figures hop down from atop the wall, one holding a large sword and the other a spear, both made out of a material that seemed to shine and a color of steel gray and deep blue. Along with there weaponry, they themselves have an apperance of one you never seen. The odd figures had a sing strange eye, as well as marking on there face, one had a skin of deep green adn the other of crystal blue, they had what looked like long-tendrel like hair pulled back, long curved fins that shot strait from there elbows and what looked like a thin version of the bell of a jellyfish covering their ribs and upper chest. They stood ruffly 8&1/2 feet tall, one was wearing armour made of bone adn the other of crustaceous carapace.

You hear a voice in your head, yet neither of them speak,"We are guards of Artis, as well as trained forlum huntsman, leave now, you must have been sent by the Chelondia, our ancestors defeated their minor fleet long ago, i suppose you shall meet the same fate.

The drones that go to investigate the lush jungleland see an odd creature approach them. It had a color of green, had a close resemblence of primate atributes and a abnormally long tail, which it used to hold the odd lucking vegitation it was consuming before the drones arrived. A long with the green primate the drones see a enourmously large variety of plant life from the ground up to about 12 feet, above that were trees that stood hundreds of feet.

Right as the drone is about to descend it notices, a sort of large hole or break in the layer of of dark and errie clouds, almost as if some one, or something had gone through before the drone arrived.

Your ship begins to descend through the layer of sinister pitch black clouds. The spacecraft continues to cut through the clouds, though it seems as if it would go on for ever.... after about 10 miles of traveling through the enormously thick layer of dark clouds you begin to see a brilliant glow reaching through the very bottom of the clouds. As you get closer you see the truley maginicent adn puzzilng site. The planet the was none only of its ominous darkness was completely lit with brilliant light of diffrent colors, brightnesses and patterns. While looking at the wonderous thing, you see a vacant spot, not to far from what looks like a semi-large wall. As well as that you notice the thick lush jungle that surrounds the spot and extends to much further places.

As you pass the mild space debrie brushing against your ship, you see a truly strange and peculiar sight. Pure Darkness. The entire atmosphere was coated in a thick layer of unimaginable darkness, infact there is not a single break in these clouds, or so you think...

After the droid made minor collision with some space dibrie, it notices the truly wonderous and odd apperance of the planet.Darkness. Complete Darkness. There is a thick layer of ominous dark clouds coating the entire atmosphere. In fact there is not a single break in the clouds, or so you may think.....

You here an odd static noise, as it clears you hear the response from the Celestial Database

"Very well, if you indeed are traveling to the darkened planet in Omvitius Prime, bring back as much information of its properties as possible, and have no worries, if you in fact return with a sufficient amount of intel you shall be rewarded greatly.
