As much as Ves didn't want to believe that the Vandals and Swordmaidens would turn their backs on their comrades, he was too paranoid to dismiss the possibility.- laylag14510hReplied to Gregory_Halye
There’s at least one Mormon family famously like that. Was it the… Duggers? I can’t quite recall. The oldest son slept with three of his young sisters and the parents keep choosing him over them.
His design philosophy compelled him to see mechs as something more than just commodities. It forced him to care for his mechs even if he wanted to wash his hands off them. Just like a parent seeing their children growing up and leaving the nest, they still couldn't help but care for their sons and daughters even after they went bad and committed murder or something. - laylag14511hReplied to GamerNationTecno
How reliable
The Swordmaidens on the other hand sustained more severe damage. Many of the mechs that got caught up in the bewildering abilities of the wild gods couldn't be used anymore and needed to be scrapped as well. - laylag1451dReplied to Gregory_Halye
I’ll be honest. I, a native English speaker, got this wrong for the longest time. Even now, I think it’s wack.
Ves received his own assignment as well. Captain Byrd tasked him with pouring over the sensor readings sent back by their scouts in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy mechs. - laylag1451dCommented
Ves dropped the ball on this one. He could have saved them weeks of effort.
The god crystals could only interact with spirituality! - laylag1454dCommented
They commented on it! Yes!
In the meantime, Lieutenant Dise stood at the side watching Ves talk to Qilanxo as if he held a normal conversation. - laylag1454dCommented
I want to see people comment on how Ves can apparently understand the lizard’s roars. XD
He exited the chamber with firm destinations in mind. While he still remained in this strangely perceptive state, he wanted to approach the possible candidates instead of letting them come to Qilanxo. They'd only be wasting their time if they brought her more unworthy mech pilots. - laylag1454dCommentedCh 826 Qualities of a Beast Rider

I like this lady
"This 'wrinkly butt' of mine doesn't trust you to stay putt in camp. I'd feel much more reassured if you remain under my thumb. Besides, if first impressions have taken an awful turn, I am not above resorting to intimidation in order to force the locals into a dialogue. An aggressive boor like you speaks the same language as the primitives we might encounter if the initial meeting goes sour." - laylag1456dCommented
I agree. I think the paranoia Ves shows is as much a flaw of his madness as his risk-taking.
"You are way too paranoid, you know. I think if we ever end up in a situation like that, we're screwed anyway." - laylag1456dReplied to DemiLich
People release their bowels when they die.
Ves contemplated sitting down somewhere far away from the body, which started reeking, but changed his mind when he stared at it. He never received permission to investigate the corpses of the acolytes caught in the previous ambush. - laylag14522dReplied to DemiLich
Stop reading into it too much. This is a real thing in astronomy. They’re tiny failed stars that only glow a little bit in a brown color. That’s all.
The ultimate expression of losers among stars were two binary dwarfs spinning together in a single binary star system. The only redeeming factor between such a system was that if the two dwarfs merged together, a normal star might result. - laylag14525dCommented
Nephis: … Why’d you bail?
It was Nephis. - laylag14526dCommented
That line slaps.
A moment later, Nephis attacked again, her beautiful face cold and indifferent like an alabaster mask. Only the flames in her eyes moved, burning furiously, white as the empty void of the godless heavens above their heads. - laylag14526dCommented
Oh thank god!
Considering the time the members of the cohort had spent traversing the harrowing desert, the Spell sent them back to the exact moment they had entered the Seed of Nightmare. - laylag14527dReplied to Jaeven
We know they don’t like being in the lantern… Maybe Sunny can find out why first hand.
However, Sunny was not Ascended anymore. His Transcendent soul was full of frighteningly potent essence now, and could passively replenish it with spirit essence when in the embrace of shadows, to boot. Just as important was the fact… that he had Soul Weave. - laylag14527dReplied to Cha0sKami
It’s a surprise tool that will help us later!
Now that he completed his first important side project, he directed his spare attention to his second side project, and arguably his most important. In his obsessive rush to design and fabricate his ultracompact batteries, he left his original goal of figuring out stealth tech in the corner like a neglected child. - laylag14528dCommented
Ewww!
His enhanced sight plainly told him that the compartment was packed with dark-robed cultists! - laylag14528dCommented
Ohh?!
An inspired idea flitted across his mind. If his senses lacked the sensitivity to spot the hidden presence, then why not try to leverage the strength of his Spirituality to enhance its capabilities?
