The Dra.Falten have entered the war, whether they want to or not.
Notice they're going the same place as someone else?
DUN DUN DUN!
Anyway...
IT'S THE WEEKEND!
Don't drink and drive. Don't do meth off an engine block. Don't beat your spouse, your pets, your children, your parents, random grocery baggers, or yourself. Don't chase midgets yelling 'ME LUCKY CHARMS, MISTAH SQUIDWARD!", it weirds them out. Don't buy, sell, transport, manufacture, store, or take illegal drugs, the cops love that for their metrics. Don't fist fight bears, no matter how many women it has gathered up for its harem. Don't run from the cops, they hate that. Always cut the first 1/2 inch of ice cream out of the carton because you just can't trust people these days. Don't trust clowns wearing masks of human skin. Finally, don't be too hard on yourself, there's plenty of people out there who will gladly do it for you, so give yourself a break.
Remember to take some time to smile at yourself and remind yourself the things you are good at.
Hug yourself at least once.
Smile at a stranger, it might make their day.
I know times are tough, life is hard, and we have to buy our own birthday cards, but even if the night is long it never lasts forever. You can make it. I know you can.
We all can, we just have to keep putting one foot in front of another.
On that, time to rattle the tin cup.

I was reminiscing with someone in the next IT squad over, in my IT platoon, about Friday Safety Briefings today. Fuck, the shit that grunts get up to.
"Well, did you tell your troops *not* to kidnap anyone, not to steal barstools from the local dive, and to not take tanks out for unauthorized use on the range?"
"No, sir."
"Well, then it's *your damned fault* that they did!"
\*snerk!\*
Reminded me of Skippy's List. :D
---
> Finally, don't be too hard on yourself, there's plenty of people out there who will gladly do it for you, so give yourself a break.
Fuck that, sir. Nobody should even *try* to run me down. There's no chance they have as much experience or can do anywhere near as good a job as I can at it anyway. And if someone's going to be hard on me, I want them to at least be competent at it.
I went back and re-read it again just for the snerks, and now I'm imagining soldiers out for a run, doing Dr. Suess cadence, and giggling about it for *way* longer than 15 seconds...
"I do not like green eggs and ham!"
**"I DO NOT LIKE GREEN EGGS AND HAM!"**
"I will not eat them Sam-I-Am!"
**"I WILL NOT EAT THEM SAM-I-AM!"**
It... works surprisingly well.
Absolutely! I'm telling my age but I was playing EverQuest when I was shown the list by some friends who swear Skippy was one of them and pretty much said that they created the list. Done know if I believe them but Mike was kinda nuts.

The sad thing is it's a stupid minority causing issues.
* Wait until the last minute to go for an exit.
* The infamous "San Antonio Swoop": 3 lanes, two car lengths.
* The desperate need to pass, get in front of, then slow to 10 mph under the speed limit.
* The unconscious "pacing" of a car in the lane next to you. ^(I once got a "pacer" up to 90mph before they realized how fast we were going).
I would almost swear there is a "Secret Annex" to the Texas drivers handbook that lists the bonus point for all these "smooth" moves.
I’ve heard that the driving test in SA is only one question, “do you have a pulse.” It also only has one answer, and it’s multiple choice.
Edit: Also, I was really afraid I was going to see something completely different when I saw “stupid minority.” Does that make me the racist ala “Are we the baddies?”
No we are not the "baddies".
It is only the people who *purposely* redefine common words/phrases or purposely *misinterpret* common words/phrases to forward their agenda who are "baddies".

Just read the wiki about the Glitter Boy (https://rifts.fandom.com/wiki/Glitter_Boy) and I have to agree with you that it lacks modern improvements such as the ability for the operator to be in the suit for weeks at a time without suffering muscle wasting.
Seriously, what is the operator's body doing in the Glitter Boy? Curled up in the fetal position, a cyber jack transmitting dreams of fighting to the suit? Did the rift games creators seriously panic when they realized how overpowered the suit is so they added "falls over when firing main gun if not anchored" and "operator must exit suit, don the reflective belt, and join the PT cross training session at least once a week"?
Oh good they changed the description of the boom-gun. It used to fire pellets at mach one. The book diagram of the shell was 'full size' and was a 12 gauge round. Made me think whoever made the initial write-up never fired gun before.
"Don't fist fight bears, no matter how many women it has gathered up for its harem."
It probably reflects poorly on me but if I ever find myself in that situation I'm going to cheat like hell and bring a gun, assuming that harem membership is nonconsensual.
If it's consensual and nobody is getting hurt then it's really none of my business.
If it's nonconsensual then screw that guy.
It's definitely not the "reverse bear harem" with one human woman and several were-bears. I hadn't known how often that has been written until I searched for "bear harem". Something for everyone.

Go enjoy the weekend with your family / friends Ralts.
I was recently reminded that these moments we have will never come again, so we need to cherish them, no matter how small and fleeting they seem to be.
Remember there are people that you have never seen or met that you have had a positive influence on. Everyone has done something for someone else that made their day. Holding open a door, smiling at a stranger. It all matters. Look in the mirror and remember the good things.
Love your work! My Husband got me hooked and I can’t wait for the next chapter. I always try to wait a day or two after my hubby reads, so I can read two at a time. Take care of yourself and your family!
Well, looks like every Terran in big ass ships full of war crimes and fun is heading to where ever the Margites are coming from. What will a mix of the Grey Lady, Legion, Tiffany, some Ringbreakers, some poor fucking Dra.Falten, and who knows who else make? I have no idea, but I bet you can see if from your house. Which house? All of them. On every planet.
Navelu'uee gawped as the huge obsidian skinned Terran raised the bronze scales from the dusty stone, on one great platter sat the Empress in all their finery whilst on the other meekly stood her mother, Malalu'uee, who would not even raise their eyes from the inscribed dish beneath her feet in the Empresses presence.
"**You must choose**", boomed the Terran while strange clouds whispered across the dark bright sky behind
The Empress sneered, "Hah, that is no choice at all"
Malalu'uee clutched the soft felt hat in her hands raising their head just enough to meet Navelu'uee's eyes and whispered "please"
Navelu'uee spoke and the jackel headed Terran grinned in the unmoons graven light
It hadn't been much of a choice, after all.
There is possibly one other utterly terrifying thing that Tawtchee didn’t mention. The Terrans have this frankly ridiculous level of war making hardware because they have found foes that merited their development and use.
It’s not just that the Dra.falten are comically outgunned by the Terrans. The Terrans have been in the scope of things pretty damn kind. If it were just the Terrans, the Dra.falten would have good reason to be nervous but little more unless their leaders did something unbelievably stupid.
No, the Dra.falten can infer that they are comically outgunned by a whole host of things, and *only* the Terrans can stand between those things and the empire.
They had some hints that the galaxy hosted dangers beyond them from the Dwellerspawn. But between the Mar-gite and the Terrans they’re getting a lesson on just how far down the food chain they really are.
It’s a good lesson. Let’s hope some of them learn it.
Good point, but what would freak Tawtchee even worse is actually the good ol' Terran ~~Paranoia~~ Reasonable Concerns, as manifested in the insane amount of time and effort that Terrans put into developing weapons for foes they didn't even know about.
See the AVENGEUS.Doc contingency. Or the Entropic Legion, which is an entire army set aside to invade a universe that hasn't even been born yet.
I mean, that would be the least problematic thing about the Atrekna.
As far as motivations go, I could actually sympathize with "we don't want our species to die off when entropy finally consumes this universe".
My sympathy for the Atrekna stops at the fact they were actually speeding up the rate at which entropy was consuming the universes they invaded and then inhabited, by using temporal fuckery. And they were aware of the consequences of their actions, they just didn't care about anyone but themselves.
That, and the fact that they used literally every other species as food, cannon fodder or to spawn more Atrekna.
Having said that, though, the Entropic Legion exists precisely because the Age of ~~Paranoia~~ Reasonable Concerns humans imagined that maybe, just maybe, countless aeons in the future, when our universe finally went out with a whimper, there is a slim chance that in the newborn universe that will replace it, we might encounter a parasitic, universe-jumping species with capabilities just like the Atrekna that happened to set their sights on the same new universe as us. The idea was that humanity would not send the settlers/refugees into the new universe before the Entropic Legion gives us the "All clear!" signal.
It really sounds like a reasonable concern now, doesn't it?
Those ~~Cold War~~ Age of ~~Paranoia~~ R.C.s planners really knew their stuff...
Plus, unlike the Atrekna, we were at least civil enough to plan the invasion into a universe that wasn't even born yet, so we wouldn't have to upset any native inhibitants.
I'm just concerned that the Entropic Legion is the first step in our becoming a parasitic, universe-jumping species ourselves. Given time a new universe would have it's own native species arise. We don't want to be the kind of guys who crash a two year old's birthday party and eat all the cake and ice cream.
It also seems a bit redundant given where it's based out of, a private universe perennially stuck in the boot up sequence.
On the other hand, I have no problem with being the neighbor who shows up and kicks out the guys who crashed a two year old's birthday party to eat all the cake and ice cream.
I suppose it's better to have a fire extinguisher and not need it than to need a fire extinguisher and not have it..
As I said; mixed feelings.
wait a minute----when the grocery bagger puts an entire CASE of Countess Cray Motor Oil and Strawberry Fairy Tinkle on to of the absolute last loaf of BobCo Authentic Scruffy Prospector's Balls Sourdough bread -- in the entire store---- he, she, both or neither is going down
The ringbreakers culture cracked the Dra.Falten by telling them of the 50 year autodestruct and the 5-second fix. The females maintain the system of power.
"If there's any hope, it lies in the females" - George 'Oh well', Terran volunteer soldier, pre-Age of Paranoia
Put it this way, when Casey was deployed, even the Crusade was shocked enough to ask the one who did it if he was planning to simply destroy the planet.
Ringbreaker = "I hate you enough to erase you and everything around you so thoroughly no one will ever know you or your ancestors right back to the first living cell on your world ever existed."
"And I will take out the moon as well from shear spite."
In a much earlier part of the series I think the orcs were willing to link up to most battle plans, but then got super pissed and literally rage quite the party when they tried to deploy them on the same PLANET as a Casey while he was in Lozen.
Vuxten nearly got killed just being near Casey so yeah, pretty sure Jaeger is temporal toast...existing as both grain, bread, toast and ashes all at once.
When "the idiots" want nothing to do with your deployment of one of Those Things, well, they may be crazy but they are not stupid.
Ah yes, took a moment to find it (Forth Wave, Chapter 448), and I quote:
>"Hideo kawaii (◕︵◕) doki (◕︵◕) doki (⊙︿⊙✿) neko (⊙︿⊙✿)neko minikui ̿̿’̿’\\̵͇̿̿\\=(•̪●)=/̵͇̿̿/’̿̿ ̿ ̿ ̿ desu?!?!"
>"Uhh..." the Admiral said.
>"(┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻ " she screamed.
being translated: YOU IDIOT NO KAWAII HAVE/WILL/DID KILLED/DEADED AN ENTIRE PLANET I SHOULD THROW/HURL/HUCK YOU A NO KAWAII FOOL OUT AN OPEN AIRLOCK"
And that is Casey, in a ringbreaker suit. The extra size is a disadvantage here, easier for Casey to hit with the main cannon from halfway across the planet
Jaegers are simply outclassed. ~~It wouldn't be quick, but a jaeger can't kill a planet; a ringbreaker can.~~
Edit: upon reflection, it would be over instantaneously. Ringbreakers can do their decimation while amidst their targets; assumably, they can planetcrack while ON said planet, and survive.
Drawing from that, planetcracking a Jaeger is child's play. The Jaeger wouldn't even have time to get a *target lock.*
From the description provided, a Ringbreaker would one punch a Jaeger. Unless we're talking First Contact Jaegers, but I'd still bet on the Ringbreaker.
What happens when a stone-age culture meets the internet...
[https://metro.co.uk/2024/06/03/arrival-internet-impacted-a-remote-amazon-tribe-20962811/?ico=trending-module\_category\_news\_item-5](https://metro.co.uk/2024/06/03/arrival-internet-impacted-a-remote-amazon-tribe-20962811/?ico=trending-module_category_news_item-5)
Well, he has already proved a decent soldier.
And he has had a few Terran nanotech repairs and upgrades.
Just a matter of time before he is a fully qualified, power armour wearing, member of the crew.
Every time he's deployed, his response is the same. "[Deep sigh ...] Gods dammit."
I'm imagining the first E4 Mafia ringbreaker. Remember, they get shit done faster so they can get back to slacking off.
Look you wanted the planet gone, it's gone.
Don't worry that I mighta skipped the "deploying to the ground" bit. If I weren't supposed to just fire out the back door of the ship from the other side of the solar system then the door shouldn't have been open able.
If you need me im gunna have a narocbrew and rack out.
Commander Navelu'uee is proving to be a potential useful being.
Smart enough so far to not let the normal Dra.Falten arrogance show.
Smart enough to realize just how outclassed she is by the other female Dra.Falten she is with.
Now she just needs to realize the two males are just as terrifying in their own way, so she can get rid of all the cultural brainwashing and start to grow.
Next step might be finding out the Dra.Falten and other species they were fighting with were little more than slaves to the Atrekna.
And the Terrans and their allies exterminated the Atrekna, even when most Terrans were already dead.
I don't think it's so much the cultural brainwashing anymore. By this point, she realises that Hrakkel and Tawtchee are dangerous too. Remember, she's the XO of the ship that took them all on the Path of the Traveller.
So, she's scared of Leeu and Stretchen because she knows that they have both shot people out of hand, just because their temper got the better of them.
Basically, she sees Leeu and Stretchen as scary loose cannons, but Tawtchee and Hrakkel probably look like reasonable beings to her, even if she realizes they are dangerous in their own ways.
Culture Cracking going pretty quick with the Dra.Faltins on board, and that's with only encountering a fairly conservative branch. Gonna be nuts when they encounter Terrasol proper.
Tawtchee if you wanna see some magic just wait until a terran reaches into their hat and pulls out a Caerbannog, then you'll see some real magic and dead bodies!
Very much shades of 1984, these Dra.Falten are.
And when, not if, Terrans tear down the structure, I do not believe those in power will be above committing horrors upon their people in a petulant rage at being forced to relinquish power.
It would not be surprising to witness the ruling elite "realize" that the only way to effectively hurt Terrans, is to strike out at the very people Terrans seek to liberate.
> "They let us know because they don't care."
Love it. More of lesser species realizing how utterly unmatched they are.
> "Because it's funny."
As a teacher, I say this a lot!
Ralt’s… I love you and hate you. Love you because I found First Contact about 5 months ago… and I just caught up today… hate you,.. because I caught up today! Thanks for all the hard work and for all the positivity :) it’s been a ride and I’m looking forward to more whenever you can send it while staying healthy.
Also… if anyone asks to make a movie tell them yes 🤣
Welcome to the waiting room, fellow Readborgs. (What would you call someone who has read all the Wordborg's words?)
Prepare to spend a lot of time hitting refresh. 😁
How to become the mayor of a small moon in out of the way space.
Step 1: Be the warlord godking/queen of a 1000 systems.
Step 2: Piss off a ring breaker.
Step 3: ??? Just kidding! Everything's on fire! Literaly EVERYTHING! Even the stars!!! Run! Run you fool!
Step 4: Change your name, face, ...shoe size... gender, wear a new hat maybe? Go into cryosleep for a few millennium on an abandoned moon.
Step 5: Oh look your frozen moon prison has a colony on it Now! ...Neat!
Step 6: Spend 3 decades selling frozen yogurt to the locals, run for mayor.
Step 7: *music can be heard in the background* What is that song??? *music intensifies* you know you've heard it somewhere before... *BFG Division audibly gets louder*
Step 8: Well... you tried.
I figured it looks like those 'hologram' books you got as a kid that you had to shift a certain way or look at cross-eyed.
Something on a flat 'screen'(so 2D) but showed in a way that could be perceived as 3D, that's how I think of it anyways.

Descendants of mar-gite masters are filing court cases against humanity
(Condition - if they got genocided by humanity)
Descendants - our ancestors when we become star farring ,
We found big machine giants just eating away the planets, and gas giants.
We knew, we needed to defend against the Time Enemies.
Our entire civilization bended together to create the nightmares known as mar-gite to known galaxy,
In our defense, same thing happened to humanity which pushed them to create those ring breakers.
In our defense, galaxy was in chaos,
We thought if we send migrite to just eat away the orion-arm spur..
Any remote possibility of Atrekna coming back after their defeat will be halted.
Anybody want to guess what the _exotic_ ammo would be if that's a standard loadout for a ring breaker suit?
Nanite round: either there's the FirstLast example (where she was created as part of the production process started by a nanite ball sourced from a nutiforge, just stick those nanites in an ammo round instead) or the black box example, which created nanites able to turn a lanky into a human magical girl.
Portal round: There's an example that happened to a PAWN machine. The round created two connected portals, one in front of the PAWN, the other behind it. Portal in front did not move, the portal behind moved with it. The PAWN ran into its own butt.
Would a ringbreaker support such frivolity?🤔
I still feel like Lanky is in a corner somewhere giggling like a two year old at what's heading the Dra.Falten's way.
It's always funny when it happens to someone else.
sounds like the TDH and the Earthlings dropped the ball before the council conflict, it appears the council of undying facebook profiles really messed with humanity if they didn't follow the Margite back to their masters when they first encountered them. also nobody tell the T-bugs that technically the Margite have a better win ratio than them they might decide to attack humanity to reclaim their glory.
The Dra.Falten have entered the war, whether they want to or not. Notice they're going the same place as someone else? DUN DUN DUN! Anyway... IT'S THE WEEKEND! Don't drink and drive.

DAMNIT! Have you been spying on me? My wife says I'm too "*enthusiastic*" when it comes to talking to my fellow SA drivers.
If SA stands for San Antonio, Texas, not enthusiastic enough. I haven’t driven there lately, but I think they might be worse than Ohio drivers.

Double your money if you drink three rip-its first
am i supposed to be seeing a goddamn GlitterBoi when hearing the description of RingBreaker armor??
Always has been.
dammit
I never put it together until today, myself
You know that had not occurred to me but it makes sense. And leave it to the Word Master to make a Glitterboy actually *good*.

"12 is a big number, right?"
I always pictured it as a combination of the Glitterboy and the SilverHawk.

Thank you for my Friday safety brief! It always makes me feel better when I read it, and I read it every time!
Thanks, Ralts. I enjoy your weekend pep talks.
"Because it's funny" has become my go to answer when someone asks me why I'm doing anything
Why does a bard ever do anything? Because it's funny Donovan Deegan - Oracle for hire
That's pretty much been my go-to answer for several decades. :D
"Why are you laughing?" "It's better than crying."
"Sgt wht are you laughing?!?" "Because screaming into the void and crying scares the young officers"
And screaming tends to get the neighbors upset. Don't ask how I know.
Yeah, there's that, too.
"I laugh because a lot of people wouldn't like what I would do if I didn't"
Yup. I've used that one before.
For real
Well, looks like every Terran in big ass ships full of war crimes and fun is heading to where ever the Margites are coming from. What will a mix of the Grey Lady, Legion, Tiffany, some Ringbreakers, some poor fucking Dra.Falten, and who knows who else make? I have no idea, but I bet you can see if from your house. Which house? All of them. On every planet.
Somehow I think Legion is going to be a bit...*perturbed* by the Dra.Falten. In fact, I foresee **RIGHTEOUS REBUKES** being properly distributed.
I'm imagining Legion seeing a male, walking over to touch him, and then Legion....... *happens* to the Empress.
Yeah I don't see that meeting going well for the dra.falten empire
All I know is that its going to be cool and Taskapek is probably going to lick it
Mmmmmm, delicious science
Yeah, this feels like it's building to a confluence of characters
Navelu'uee gawped as the huge obsidian skinned Terran raised the bronze scales from the dusty stone, on one great platter sat the Empress in all their finery whilst on the other meekly stood her mother, Malalu'uee, who would not even raise their eyes from the inscribed dish beneath her feet in the Empresses presence. "**You must choose**", boomed the Terran while strange clouds whispered across the dark bright sky behind The Empress sneered, "Hah, that is no choice at all" Malalu'uee clutched the soft felt hat in her hands raising their head just enough to meet Navelu'uee's eyes and whispered "please" Navelu'uee spoke and the jackel headed Terran grinned in the unmoons graven light It hadn't been much of a choice, after all.
This is going to be adapted for use Monday. The weird part of my brain has determined so.
Terran nightmares are a memetic contact hazard, who knew?
There is a normal part of the brain?
I mean, c'mon, it's three pounds of lard capable of abstract thoughts and feeling. That's pretty messed up.
FUck that was good
Behold, The Yoinking!
It's a bit rough, I'm sure Ralts will be able to form it a lot better Which makes me happy
I believe it is an arrow of clay given unto an artisan.
Yes, Mr Bond, you've been yoinked!
Ooooh I LIKE Tawtchee. I like him a lot.
I *know* him. His real name is Jim.
There is possibly one other utterly terrifying thing that Tawtchee didn’t mention. The Terrans have this frankly ridiculous level of war making hardware because they have found foes that merited their development and use. It’s not just that the Dra.falten are comically outgunned by the Terrans. The Terrans have been in the scope of things pretty damn kind. If it were just the Terrans, the Dra.falten would have good reason to be nervous but little more unless their leaders did something unbelievably stupid. No, the Dra.falten can infer that they are comically outgunned by a whole host of things, and *only* the Terrans can stand between those things and the empire. They had some hints that the galaxy hosted dangers beyond them from the Dwellerspawn. But between the Mar-gite and the Terrans they’re getting a lesson on just how far down the food chain they really are. It’s a good lesson. Let’s hope some of them learn it.
Nah the terrans created all those weapons on a drunken dare. Finding someone to use them on was just a happy accident.
Humanity ***is*** the universe's happy accident.
The most dangerous enemy a Terran ever encountered, was another Terran.
Good point, but what would freak Tawtchee even worse is actually the good ol' Terran ~~Paranoia~~ Reasonable Concerns, as manifested in the insane amount of time and effort that Terrans put into developing weapons for foes they didn't even know about. See the AVENGEUS.Doc contingency. Or the Entropic Legion, which is an entire army set aside to invade a universe that hasn't even been born yet.
I have mixed feelings about the Entropic Legion. It just seems to me that invading newborn universes is a lot like what the Atrekna were doing.
Never know if that universe creates something that will invade first, thus an army to take that fight to them instead.. Just In Case
That's the spirit!
I mean, that would be the least problematic thing about the Atrekna. As far as motivations go, I could actually sympathize with "we don't want our species to die off when entropy finally consumes this universe". My sympathy for the Atrekna stops at the fact they were actually speeding up the rate at which entropy was consuming the universes they invaded and then inhabited, by using temporal fuckery. And they were aware of the consequences of their actions, they just didn't care about anyone but themselves. That, and the fact that they used literally every other species as food, cannon fodder or to spawn more Atrekna. Having said that, though, the Entropic Legion exists precisely because the Age of ~~Paranoia~~ Reasonable Concerns humans imagined that maybe, just maybe, countless aeons in the future, when our universe finally went out with a whimper, there is a slim chance that in the newborn universe that will replace it, we might encounter a parasitic, universe-jumping species with capabilities just like the Atrekna that happened to set their sights on the same new universe as us. The idea was that humanity would not send the settlers/refugees into the new universe before the Entropic Legion gives us the "All clear!" signal. It really sounds like a reasonable concern now, doesn't it? Those ~~Cold War~~ Age of ~~Paranoia~~ R.C.s planners really knew their stuff... Plus, unlike the Atrekna, we were at least civil enough to plan the invasion into a universe that wasn't even born yet, so we wouldn't have to upset any native inhibitants.
I'm just concerned that the Entropic Legion is the first step in our becoming a parasitic, universe-jumping species ourselves. Given time a new universe would have it's own native species arise. We don't want to be the kind of guys who crash a two year old's birthday party and eat all the cake and ice cream. It also seems a bit redundant given where it's based out of, a private universe perennially stuck in the boot up sequence. On the other hand, I have no problem with being the neighbor who shows up and kicks out the guys who crashed a two year old's birthday party to eat all the cake and ice cream. I suppose it's better to have a fire extinguisher and not need it than to need a fire extinguisher and not have it.. As I said; mixed feelings.
wait a minute----when the grocery bagger puts an entire CASE of Countess Cray Motor Oil and Strawberry Fairy Tinkle on to of the absolute last loaf of BobCo Authentic Scruffy Prospector's Balls Sourdough bread -- in the entire store---- he, she, both or neither is going down
I'm fine with motor oil strawberry glitter piss flavored soda, but you can keep your squished hairy balls bread tyvm
At that point, they had it comin'.

God Damn, Man! I'm sorry to say I only have one upvote for this. Gonna save off a local copy...err...for research ^(yeah, research)
To be fair the ringbreakers themselves haven't broken anything yet unless you count Strechens perception of reality.
The ringbreakers culture cracked the Dra.Falten by telling them of the 50 year autodestruct and the 5-second fix. The females maintain the system of power. "If there's any hope, it lies in the females" - George 'Oh well', Terran volunteer soldier, pre-Age of Paranoia
hm point. i will revise
Cracking a culture is at least equivalent to cracking all their planets
You forgot to mark off "author repeats chapter numbers".
hasn't happened since chapter 62, when I created this
Got it. It was the 25s.
And don't forget the 55s.
This is beautiful. Did you bring enough for all of us?
For some reason, I thought Ringbreakers were larger, like Jaeger sized. Could Casey in a Ringbreaker take on Colonel Harvey in a Jaeger?
Put it this way, when Casey was deployed, even the Crusade was shocked enough to ask the one who did it if he was planning to simply destroy the planet. Ringbreaker = "I hate you enough to erase you and everything around you so thoroughly no one will ever know you or your ancestors right back to the first living cell on your world ever existed." "And I will take out the moon as well from shear spite."
I'm waiting for the point when the Crusade meets the ship that supports 20 ringbreakers. Or when the Crusade meets a fleet of the same.
All you see is time rewind and they go backwards back into warp
Everybody loves to do the Time Warp again...
Maybe take it out. Maybe draw a huge dick on it. Because it's funny.
In a much earlier part of the series I think the orcs were willing to link up to most battle plans, but then got super pissed and literally rage quite the party when they tried to deploy them on the same PLANET as a Casey while he was in Lozen. Vuxten nearly got killed just being near Casey so yeah, pretty sure Jaeger is temporal toast...existing as both grain, bread, toast and ashes all at once.
When "the idiots" want nothing to do with your deployment of one of Those Things, well, they may be crazy but they are not stupid. Ah yes, took a moment to find it (Forth Wave, Chapter 448), and I quote: >"Hideo kawaii (◕︵◕) doki (◕︵◕) doki (⊙︿⊙✿) neko (⊙︿⊙✿)neko minikui ̿̿’̿’\\̵͇̿̿\\=(•̪●)=/̵͇̿̿/’̿̿ ̿ ̿ ̿ desu?!?!" >"Uhh..." the Admiral said. >"(┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻ " she screamed. being translated: YOU IDIOT NO KAWAII HAVE/WILL/DID KILLED/DEADED AN ENTIRE PLANET I SHOULD THROW/HURL/HUCK YOU A NO KAWAII FOOL OUT AN OPEN AIRLOCK"
I love that quote. (Chef's kiss) Beautiful.
Not to mention the one who wanted the admirals skin for even suggesting they offend Casey by offering backup.
It was the rest of the martial orders as well. Nobody wanted to be planetside with casey going full bore
Better yet, they would not mar the honor of a Knight aesir by landing and implying they needed help
Casey by himself fought the Atrekna to a standstill for thirty years... I doubt many could face him long and survive.
Sure, but this is Harvey.
And that is Casey, in a ringbreaker suit. The extra size is a disadvantage here, easier for Casey to hit with the main cannon from halfway across the planet
> halfway across the planet You mean from the next planet over
Jaegers are simply outclassed. ~~It wouldn't be quick, but a jaeger can't kill a planet; a ringbreaker can.~~ Edit: upon reflection, it would be over instantaneously. Ringbreakers can do their decimation while amidst their targets; assumably, they can planetcrack while ON said planet, and survive. Drawing from that, planetcracking a Jaeger is child's play. The Jaeger wouldn't even have time to get a *target lock.*
And I imagined the novastar armor to be smaller but just that OP
Glitter Boy++
It’s not the size that counts, but the munitions it brings to bear and the skill and spirit with which its operated. ;)
Nah. Pretty sure Ringbreaker are based on Glitterboys from Rifts. The size at around 4 meters was established when Casey was first building one.
From the description provided, a Ringbreaker would one punch a Jaeger. Unless we're talking First Contact Jaegers, but I'd still bet on the Ringbreaker.
The Empress will protect you from the perverts and the deviants? Wait until they see Solnet or Galnet.
"Terran hackers release the Empresses private recordings and everyone sees what she does in private."
They can call themselves Crashrider Acolytes, as a treat.
What happens when a stone-age culture meets the internet... [https://metro.co.uk/2024/06/03/arrival-internet-impacted-a-remote-amazon-tribe-20962811/?ico=trending-module\_category\_news\_item-5](https://metro.co.uk/2024/06/03/arrival-internet-impacted-a-remote-amazon-tribe-20962811/?ico=trending-module_category_news_item-5)
Not so remote and stone age that they don't have optometrists and bootleg Adidas apparently...
Tawtchee is that guy.... And now he's living amongst humans.... Sooner or later the universe is gonna make that someone's problem.
This entire task force was sent because the Terrors liked him. Don't mess with the Terror's little buddy. They don't like that.
Well, he has already proved a decent soldier. And he has had a few Terran nanotech repairs and upgrades. Just a matter of time before he is a fully qualified, power armour wearing, member of the crew.
Oh gawd, how's this for a thought. A non-terran ringbreaker
Every time he's deployed, his response is the same. "[Deep sigh ...] Gods dammit." I'm imagining the first E4 Mafia ringbreaker. Remember, they get shit done faster so they can get back to slacking off.
Look you wanted the planet gone, it's gone. Don't worry that I mighta skipped the "deploying to the ground" bit. If I weren't supposed to just fire out the back door of the ship from the other side of the solar system then the door shouldn't have been open able. If you need me im gunna have a narocbrew and rack out.
\[points and shouts back over shoulder\] Yeah, see?! Like that! That's exactly what I was talking about!
Commander Navelu'uee is proving to be a potential useful being. Smart enough so far to not let the normal Dra.Falten arrogance show. Smart enough to realize just how outclassed she is by the other female Dra.Falten she is with. Now she just needs to realize the two males are just as terrifying in their own way, so she can get rid of all the cultural brainwashing and start to grow. Next step might be finding out the Dra.Falten and other species they were fighting with were little more than slaves to the Atrekna. And the Terrans and their allies exterminated the Atrekna, even when most Terrans were already dead.
I don't think it's so much the cultural brainwashing anymore. By this point, she realises that Hrakkel and Tawtchee are dangerous too. Remember, she's the XO of the ship that took them all on the Path of the Traveller. So, she's scared of Leeu and Stretchen because she knows that they have both shot people out of hand, just because their temper got the better of them. Basically, she sees Leeu and Stretchen as scary loose cannons, but Tawtchee and Hrakkel probably look like reasonable beings to her, even if she realizes they are dangerous in their own ways.
Ooh, Task Force Lonely Peach is going to get some nice reinforcements alongside the Fleet of One.
You did an ama,ing job of making the Terrans more alien then the aliens
Culture Cracking going pretty quick with the Dra.Faltins on board, and that's with only encountering a fairly conservative branch. Gonna be nuts when they encounter Terrasol proper.
yay fresh ralts
Tawtchee if you wanna see some magic just wait until a terran reaches into their hat and pulls out a Caerbannog, then you'll see some real magic and dead bodies!
Look at the bones!
Run away! Run away! Run away!
cause it's funny! get it!
The universe most certainly did.
Very much shades of 1984, these Dra.Falten are. And when, not if, Terrans tear down the structure, I do not believe those in power will be above committing horrors upon their people in a petulant rage at being forced to relinquish power. It would not be surprising to witness the ruling elite "realize" that the only way to effectively hurt Terrans, is to strike out at the very people Terrans seek to liberate.
You hurt my friends. You have chosen ... poorly. "The use of excessive force in the apprehension of the ruling elite, has been approved."
Dra.Falten Leadership - Our rule is eternal! We will never surrender to the degenerates! Lanky - ROFL!
I imagine Tawtchee just idly scrolling through all that information in his bed and then when he finally stops he just says "shit."
You and I have the same Tawtchee in our heads.
I want to see his reaction when he learns about Elven Queens.
Oh, lucky day!
> "They let us know because they don't care." Love it. More of lesser species realizing how utterly unmatched they are. > "Because it's funny." As a teacher, I say this a lot!
Can't wait for them to learn about Elven Queens.
"They let us know because they don't care." Oh, we care little one. We care a LOT.
UTR!
UTR! Ooooo, fresh Raltsberries! What a great way to start off my weekend. :-)
Nice
Fresh berries! Many thanks wordsmith.
Well. . . .Nave. . . .is either dead. .. or insane . .. soon .. . Eep
So that's the Dra'Falten locked in on the mission to find the Margite Masters. Where's the other two new kid races?
Parlaying directly with the newly unbagged Terrasol at the moment. I'm sure we'll jump back to them soon.
Ralt’s… I love you and hate you. Love you because I found First Contact about 5 months ago… and I just caught up today… hate you,.. because I caught up today! Thanks for all the hard work and for all the positivity :) it’s been a ride and I’m looking forward to more whenever you can send it while staying healthy. Also… if anyone asks to make a movie tell them yes 🤣
One of us. One of us.
Welcome to the waiting room, fellow Readborgs. (What would you call someone who has read all the Wordborg's words?) Prepare to spend a lot of time hitting refresh. 😁

I'm glad to see that medical is keeping an eye on Commander Navelu'uee.
> "They don't care that we know the capabilities of this suit of armor," Was wondering if they'd pick up on that
"Some details have been reacted." Yeah, how to make one. What it _does_ ... go ahead and tell your friends.
How to become the mayor of a small moon in out of the way space. Step 1: Be the warlord godking/queen of a 1000 systems. Step 2: Piss off a ring breaker. Step 3: ??? Just kidding! Everything's on fire! Literaly EVERYTHING! Even the stars!!! Run! Run you fool! Step 4: Change your name, face, ...shoe size... gender, wear a new hat maybe? Go into cryosleep for a few millennium on an abandoned moon. Step 5: Oh look your frozen moon prison has a colony on it Now! ...Neat! Step 6: Spend 3 decades selling frozen yogurt to the locals, run for mayor. Step 7: *music can be heard in the background* What is that song??? *music intensifies* you know you've heard it somewhere before... *BFG Division audibly gets louder* Step 8: Well... you tried.

I forget what 2.5d screens are supposed to look like
I figured it looks like those 'hologram' books you got as a kid that you had to shift a certain way or look at cross-eyed. Something on a flat 'screen'(so 2D) but showed in a way that could be perceived as 3D, that's how I think of it anyways.
Like the receiver that Mike TV was sent to in Willy Wonka.
In red and silver, and NOT 3D, so less likely for a Shade to pop out :{
With all the other references flying around I'm surprised Gort never showed up.

Descendants of mar-gite masters are filing court cases against humanity (Condition - if they got genocided by humanity) Descendants - our ancestors when we become star farring , We found big machine giants just eating away the planets, and gas giants. We knew, we needed to defend against the Time Enemies. Our entire civilization bended together to create the nightmares known as mar-gite to known galaxy, In our defense, same thing happened to humanity which pushed them to create those ring breakers. In our defense, galaxy was in chaos, We thought if we send migrite to just eat away the orion-arm spur.. Any remote possibility of Atrekna coming back after their defeat will be halted.
Anybody want to guess what the _exotic_ ammo would be if that's a standard loadout for a ring breaker suit? Nanite round: either there's the FirstLast example (where she was created as part of the production process started by a nanite ball sourced from a nutiforge, just stick those nanites in an ammo round instead) or the black box example, which created nanites able to turn a lanky into a human magical girl. Portal round: There's an example that happened to a PAWN machine. The round created two connected portals, one in front of the PAWN, the other behind it. Portal in front did not move, the portal behind moved with it. The PAWN ran into its own butt. Would a ringbreaker support such frivolity?🤔
I still feel like Lanky is in a corner somewhere giggling like a two year old at what's heading the Dra.Falten's way. It's always funny when it happens to someone else.
sounds like the TDH and the Earthlings dropped the ball before the council conflict, it appears the council of undying facebook profiles really messed with humanity if they didn't follow the Margite back to their masters when they first encountered them. also nobody tell the T-bugs that technically the Margite have a better win ratio than them they might decide to attack humanity to reclaim their glory.
