This track goes out to all my consangs in the Yuulden-Yang Sovereignty. Don’t know what the hells is happening over your skies, but it looks like the Fifth Guild War just started right on top of you. Of course, with the Nether conveniently down, things aren’t so easy to verify.
What a shame, huh? You lucky half-strands might be the first ones off to the Big Empty. Maybe the rest of us will be seeing you all real soon when the rest of the punches start falling.

No. Keep Zein where she is–Cas, listen, I don’t care what happened with her in the paths. Look–just look at this. Do you see this? Connect your Ansible to Sunrise and take a peek out from her eyes. You see this?
This isn’t a few thousand dead–we’re talking somewhere north of… a million. Mazza’s Junction–Nu-Scarrowbur… Does any of this look like collateral damage to you? Or does it look like the aftermath leftover from the Guild Wars?
Yes. ...

What? The hypertube ruptured? [Stifled groan] Where… where are they… How the hells did they manage to jack a lightrail? The Nether’s down! Traffic grid’s infested with mem-cons! And what’s the point of rupturing it? The Sovereignty will notice immediately and pocket–agh!
You know what, no questioning anything anymore. Let’s just assume these–uh–consangs of ours here have a few sequences missing–

The Stormtree “Fulgerhund” is assigned a mixed Porter/Breaker designation in most Knots. Though lightly armored and absent numerous defensive and offensive systems present in modern golems, it continues to be a mainstay of both Stormtree forces and Fallwalkers.
Autonomously jocked through the Nether in most cases, the volatile power system connected to twin microfusion reactors is more a feature than a bug. Likewise, the pace at which it can accrue Rend is another layer...

There is a difference between wars and the Trials.
I cannot speak quite so much about the former, though I have glimpsed its true face from angles and moments. War is encompassing–too much for a single individual to bear as we are now. Even should they be a Godclad. I’m sure you have read Osjon Thousand’s treatise, “Total Domain Warfare.”
Quite excellently written, if I might applaud a former opponent.
To put it simply, there are too ...

Widen the quarantine. Pocket the entire Yuulden-Yang Sovereignty. Tell Voidwatch to delay as long as they can–I’m jumping over now.
Abrel Greatling? Daughter of Uthred Greatling? [Sound of head striking and denting steel] Who else knows? Well, you and trainee Kitzuhada keep those memories to yourself now. I know Uthred–the man’s a half-strand; this isn’t just going to end up...

“Yeah? Hello? What you want? I’m playing Stormjumpers—nuclear detonations? ‘Clad on ‘Clad—dammit, the Fallwalkers again—Highflame? Stormtree cadres. Open battle in the district of Nu-Scarrowbur? Plot to assassinate—okay–okay, slow down.
Loop the district. In fact, loop the surrounding ones too. No one in or out. Put the Warrens back under lockdown. And somebody cast Voidwatch. I need them to distract the Guild while I figure out how to settle this mess.

Aegis, this is Sunrise. I confirm Rupture containment—the Heaven remains unfallen. Reality is stabilizing.
Negative. I do not see the Stillborn. Reflections are collapsing over reach other—shunting spaces through the stretch of the affected regions. I’m widening my drones; we might be able to.

The Agnosi lied to us… Keep lying to us… I saw the truth. I saw it when my Daemon came to me. It didn’t–it was so hurt–all those lives inside screaming.

Good evening, everyone
This poll is just to gauge what everyone might primarily be most interested in down the line other than just advanced chapters. This is to set some expectations and so I can think about how to best deliver you more interesting or engaging content.
Presently, 10-11 is still underway, though slightly delayed. 10-12 should go up a few hours after it, returning us to usual schedule. The Shattered Weaveress is approximately 45% completed, which, though a bit disa...
