Andromedan Orbiting Operations Center (and offworld adventures)

Cosmos:”I remember it was boring that’s why I was going to take a 10 reality nap it ended up turning into a 60 reality nap”

Chaugnar Faugn worked a bit with the fabricator and then looked at Ahrakas.

Chaugnar Faugn: "Just to give you an idea, that number I spouted? That's way younger than the five Eldritch Entities. In fact, I'm pretty sure Graham's Number is too small to represent how old those kids are."

He made some adjustments.

Chaugnar Faugn: "I hope whatever's coming isn't going to call for me wearing armor. As a statue I... I MIGHT be able to make animal hides work, but it's impossible to get metal or composite armor to work on a form like mine. You'd basically have to weld it and that process hurts. You got a particular dress code you want me following on the ship or under your Imperium, Ahrakas?"

We dont have much of a standard dress code, but some Temporal Lords do in their domain. I dont really care what you put on.

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

The outfit Chaugnar Faugn wound up fabricating amounted to a loincloth, bracers, and shin guards.

Chaugnar Faugn: "I'll worry about their dress code when it comes time, then."

"So.... we have Chaugnar Faugn. We have our objective. Any... particular Temporal Lord you want to check in on, to see how they're handling the prep? Or is there another prep duty you want to deal with? I'm aiming to strike before the 3-day deadline is up, so we kind of have to work fast."

We should head back to the Imperial Palace and notify everyone of our progress.

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

We should head back to the Imperial Palace and notify everyone of our progress.

"Just remember... our little plan with the Duchy, where we sweep in after we're unbound... anyone who hears of it is sworn to secrecy on it. We don't want a two-front war."

Kurt hesitated.

"I remind you because we may have Lords complaining that we don't take territory immediately. Informing them of that plan may be required."

Chaugnar Faugn: "You were always a heavy sleeper. Somehow a heavier one than me, and a heavier one than the Eldritch Entities were. I assume this is why you and they worked on the celestial dragons about a decillion realities ago, so someone could handle business while you slept?"

Cosmos:”Something like that I was also very tired”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”Something like that I was also very tired”

Chaugnar Faugn: "You had quite the number of attempts at those guys - I think it was only a septillion realities ago that you'd actually been able to settle on the perfect celestial dragons. There were quite a few... bad results that wound up becoming other long-lived species. Was it you that tried to discard them and start over or was that Cthugha being a little perfectionist like he sometimes is? I can't remember."

Cosmos:”He was being a perfectionist he even took one of my scales it grew back of course but I still didn’t give him permission”

Chaugnar Faugn: "Wow, I must have been asleep for that part of the process. I saw when someone other than you and the five tried to alter the species, but I missed some of the five's idiosyncrasies."

"Ummmm.... I'm hearing this conversation and I'm a bit lost here, Cosmos...."

Cosmos:”I’m not following you”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”I’m not following you”

Chaugnar Faugn: "We can reminisce more about some of the old times later, perhaps. Who's this guy?"

"The name is Firuthi and I'm the guy trying to take good care of the kids."

Chaugnar Faugn: "Ohhhh boy, you're going to have a tough job if they get unbound."

"So I'm told. Say, Cosmos.... he hinted at Cthugha being a perfectionist, anything you remember of the other four's original behavior?"

Cosmos:”Not at the moment”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”Not at the moment”

"Maybe during this war we can get hints of their personalities. I just hope they don't instantly revert when they're unbound."

At that point, Kurt stopped playing with the hound-creature in the pet carrier.

"Ahrakas, once we've gotten the Lords to start preparing, I actually have a stop I need to make. Turns out ancient enough beings - the five of us, Cosmos, Chaugnar Faugn, and a couple of others - each have their own out-of-phase world. You may be familiar with Cooper's and Cosmos' worlds already - Cooper's tends to come up the most in any reality's fiction and Cosmos and his kin have gone on about his plenty already. I haven't been on mine, Xiclotl, since I was bound, and I need to drop this guy off because he's not going to be ready for action in time. I'll see if I can get an adult Hound for use in this battle while we're there."

Kurt was hinting at the pet carrier.

"I should also tell you that Fabiana's world happens to be in the same solar system as Earth, Ahrakas."

Sounds like a plan, should I be concerned about Fabianas world being so close to Earth?

"It's on the very edge of that system, so you're probably fine as long as you remain in her good graces. Maybe you've heard of it. Yuggoth, I think it was called?"

 

[Baron Tredegar]

"It's on the very edge of that system, so you're probably fine as long as you remain in her good graces. Maybe you've heard of it. Yuggoth, I think it was called?"

I have heard rumors and conspiracies of another planet in my system. I have heard the names Nibiru and Planet X thrown around before.

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

I have heard rumors and conspiracies of another planet in my system. I have heard the names Nibiru and Planet X thrown around before.

"I'll have to ask Fabiana some time after we're unbound, maybe those names have come up in the past for it too."

Kurt thought for a second.

"I don't know the rest of the out-of-phase worlds at the moment, but I know there's frequently rumors that pop up that Hastur's is Aldebaran. I can debunk that pretty hard - he didn't want that realm, and unfortunately I don't know whose it is. Hastur's realm is Carcosa, which is close to Aldebaran. I say this... because with what might have to happen to Hastur, I don't know what'll happen if the owner of an out-of-phase realm is permanently destroyed."

Out of phase worlds exist outside of normal time and space right? So it would hypothetically just go to an in-between space hypothetically?

"It's a possibility. I don't know if I've never been around to witness it, or if I did witness it and that memory is bound."

Kurt hesitated.

"But yeah, you've got the gist of how an out-of-phase world works. Its rules for time and space are ultimately up to its master."

I think we are almost at the Imperial Palace now.

I think we are almost at the Imperial Palace now.

"Yep, I'd recognize Aten's maniacal placement of a big space station anywhere."

Kurt rolled his eyes.

"I've used similar features to my advantage for defensive structures in past realities, but never as a fixture of a political center."

It was actually Lucifer who built the Imperial Palace, albeit following instructions Aten had left for him.

"And it wouldn't be the first time one of Aten's incarnations left an idea so psycho to the beings watching over reality."

Kurt thought for a second.

"I think one of Cooper's previous incarnations might have tried to put a black hole on display as an art piece in one reality, but other than that only Pavlin's incarnations are crazy enough to want them used near political or cultural centers."
