Ah, life. How the joy of the new and exciting slowly ebbs into determination, drive and responsibility. Not to say that things became any less fun for me. I am after all an exploratory connoisseur if you happened to forget. But after that epic battle in Elerd, how could anything seem anything less than routine?
After that fateful night things went back to normal for the scientific country of Rogwel, and since the gods decreed that we must start over, much of the week was spent regaining what we had lost but doing it better this time. I felt like an old pro taking to the fields outside of Garnedine with my peers, knowing that for once, in this brief moment, we were all equals.
The biggest change I noticed since that first glorious week were our outfits. What had been some kick ass high-octane maintenance/warrior threads were now more like night janitor uniforms. With bloomers.
Jocelyn found out the hard way.
Cleanup, aisle 4. Thank you for shopping Terrawhale, have a nice day.
I dedicated most of my time to exploring the contraptions and mechanisms of these shattered continents. I disassembled all the things that came into my hands just to see how they worked, and put the pieces back together in strange new ways. My gun began to cast an eerie blue glow, indicating that either Orcs were near or I was leaking propane. I stuck machines into every available socket. I didn't even know what half of them were for but who cares, this is science!
After a lot of scrounging Jocelyn and I crafted matching Mining Buggies and soon we were steamin' all over the place.
Low... Ride... Er...
Drives a little slower

Rides a little lower
I slowly advanced in the ranks as a mercenary, as abhorrent as that word might be to my little ears, but I felt that was the best way to get good with the Rogwel council. Soon I met with High Counselor Kianus. He is well respected in Greticos yet I suspect he's more of a figurehead.
You by chance related to Jarit?
But the most fun was trying out the new Siege Engines. Though these war machines aren't ready for actual combat yet (and neither are Elerd's) I got to test drive some of the prototypes.
First, the Suppressor, an anti-personnel machine.
And the Steam Cannon, the anti-siege-engine siege engine.
Ah, so many gears, so little time.
Till next time, Word to my Pommies!
