Andromedan Orbiting Operations Center (and offworld adventures)

[Baron Tredegar]

"I think I'll save any questions for after I'm unbound."

Baree: "So, it's just humans and a few other supernaturals you're up against?"

"Humans with powers, a few supernaturals.... one of our allies may worship some form of the dragons that bound us in the first place...."

Kazan: "Dragons that bound you, huh? If you run into those beings again, I heard rumor that there's a supposed King of Dragons who has a magical backdoor to control any dragon species - apparently he doesn't use it both because of some ethics thing and supposedly because it's an adaptation of a spell you had that has a similar fatigue problem."

"Fatigue problem?"

Kazan: "Any of the five Architects can completely puppet an entire group of beings, but it drains so hard that afterwards they have to sleep an hour for every second of control. This supposed King of Dragons got it down to four hours for every full minute, but only in respect to groups of dragons. If you find this king and get in good with him, maybe you can put the fear in these binding dragons and put them back in their rightful place."

Fascinating, do you happen to recall his name?

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Fascinating, do you happen to recall his name?

Baree: "Sadly, I don't. Supposedly the Architects personally raised him...."

Kurt's eyes went wide.

"Ahrakas.... it couldn't be HIM.... could it?"

Kazan: "What do you mean?"

"There's a dragon we met that kept claiming he was the god of dragons.... and kept claiming he was an equal to us.... it would be a little too easy for this supposed king to be him... but it's a possibility."

Baree and Kazan started laughing.

Baree: "He claims he's an equal to you?"

"He in fact kept saying we don't know how much power he has."

Kazan laughed harder.

Kazan: "If he has something over one of you five, it's not power. No, he might have accepted the five of you and the five of you accepted him, but it wasn't by him displaying anywhere near equal power. You five made him."

I have a feeling it might really be him. You dont reckon he has some kind of amnesia though?

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

I have a feeling it might really be him. You dont reckon he has some kind of amnesia though?

"Hard to say. I don't think it's true amnesia, more the fact that he'd forget since we've been bound for so utterly long. Kind of like how mortals collectively forget past horrors within a generation or two."

Baree: "Maybe wait to ask until after the war."

"Maybe. Ahrakas, you think they need more time to prep, or are we ready for Mandalore?"

I think we are ready.

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

I think we are ready.

Kazan: "For the freedom of all existence, I hope you succeed."

"Thanks."

Kurt opened a portal to the Imperial Palace. He and his hound stepped through, the hound getting more than a few stares.

*Cosmos looks at him* Cosmos:”Glad you could join us”

 

[Universe]

*Cosmos was more awake than ever and was refreshing his memory on spells*

 

[Universe]

Cosmos:”Oh forgot about that spell oh that’s why stupid stamina drain”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

*Cosmos looks at him* Cosmos:”Glad you could join us”

*Cosmos was more awake than ever and was refreshing his memory on spells*

Kurt looked at Cosmos. The full-grown hound next to him might have brought back some bad memories.

"We're basically ready for this war. We go on the High Imperator's signal."

Kurt noted the unease of Chaugnar Faugn, Yig, and Shudde M'ell.

"Oh, the hound's there to go after any leaders who barricade themselves in their fortresses."

Cosmos:”Oh forgot about that spell oh that’s why stupid stamina drain”

"You know, we were just talking about a spell with massive stamina drain right before we left my realm."

Cosmos:”Oh really how interesting”

 

[Universe]

*he was wearing something that caught Kurt’s attention It was a crown made of Cosmic Diamond*

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”Oh really how interesting”

"Apparently all five of the Architects have a spell that allows us to puppet groups of beings, with that as the main restriction. Like, really extreme levels of fatigue, like a day for six seconds of control. Someone made a specialized version of the spell befitting their own role."

*he was wearing something that caught Kurt’s attention It was a crown made of Cosmic Diamond*

"You know, we have been mostly surrounded by the royalty... I was wondering when someone started wearing the implements of such."

Cosmos:”As the king of all of the Dragons it was about time I’d got recognized I think I’ve said too much although it was kind of obvious”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”As the king of all of the Dragons it was about time I’d got recognized I think I’ve said too much although it was kind of obvious”

"It was. I'm also pretty sure you're the one with the specialized spell. Got any memories of being raised by us? We would have unfortunately been cut off from those by the binding."

Cosmos:”I believe I do actually”

 

[Universe]

Cosmos:”Lets see ummm wow there are a lot of memories in here”

 

[Universe]

Cosmos:”I remember the first time we met I punched one of you in the face by accident”

"Don't know which one of us it would have been, but it would not surprise me if you had quite the left hook as a young'un."

 

[Universe]

"Don't know which one of us it would have been, but it would not surprise me if you had quite the left hook as a young'un."

Cosmos:”I’m quite proud of it myself”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”I’m quite proud of it myself”

"You should be."

Kurt took a deep breath.

"Anyways.... we're about ready to launch."

Kurt felt something. He took out the egg that Tyrim had given him a long time ago.

".....hm? The AI core's just hatched...."

-----------

Across the universe, the Architects all took out the respective eggs they'd been given.

On Thulcan.....

"Guys? The AI core Tyrim gave me has matured...."

On Fumalsamakah....

"Hold on, I was given an AI core and it looks like it's ready...."

On Mars/Barsoom.....

"Raiden, our AI core that I was given has matured...."

On R'lyeh......

"The AI core I was given has grown into being usable for a ship. I'm going to need to go install it."

-------------

Ahrakas and Cosmos received a telepathic message.

"I felt something strange.... I think those AI cores are ready to be installed in the kids' respective scout ships. I'm cluing Tyrim in and he should have the main carrier ready momentarily."

Cosmos:”Ok good to know”

 

[Universe]

*Cosmos powers up to full power* Cosmos:”Time to show them who they’re messing with”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”Ok good to know”

Cosmos, Firuthi, and Ahrakas could hear a brief bit of mental static, followed by a statement.

"Hey check it out, the radio on the Asgard has psychic frequency options!"

There was a pause.

"Anyways, gonna park this thing near the Imperial Palace. Let's hope I don't have to do the Kessel Run, eh?"
