Important: This is not an RP, I will not be accepting apps either. There are some things in this story which are not based on spiral knights so, don't start with any bullying. If you think there is anything that you like or dislike, write below the chapter if you want.
New changes to Haven: There is a cafe, a hospital, some more vendors for herbs, spices, etc. Health pills, remedy pills and other items normally dropped or found in the clockworks don't exist anymore unless they are crafted. Starvation and dehydration are new and require food or liquids in the respectable order. New crafting machines for food and water and other consumables are also found throughout the entire clockworks.
Prologue: "The year is 2099 and we are still stuck on Cradle, we haven't found anyway to open or unlock the core. We have been trying for 10 years but so far, we have had no luck. Lord Vanaduke or as some jerks call him "Lord Vanaduck" keeps resurrecting himself every week and always causes trouble. We have no luck and the knights above struggle with his constant battles."
"I should introduce myself, my name is Vaelyn. Me and all the other technicians have tried everything and the core still won't open. We have been exposed to the energy around the core for so long that it doesn't affect us anymore. We only hope that the knights above the core can find clues to help uncover how to open the core."
"During the long stay here, we often get one months worth of supplies at the start of every month and during the entire 10 years of trying to open the core, we have only lost one soul and it wasn't a pleasant way to die. The knight technician managed to get behind the broken lift and started to climb down to the core, seeing if there was anyway to open it but half-way down, he fell and we saw as he fell to his death and... urgh..."
"Vaelyn, we have detected the dark creature's outline that is inside the core but we can't tell what it looks like." Vaelyn rushed over and looked at the shape "Hm, it doesn't look like it can be anything except for a construct due to the shape but I can be.... wrong..." The technician noticed that Vaelyn fell asleep and thought "We should let Vaelyn sleep, she gets the less sleep anyways." The technician saved the picture and sent it to the Spiral HQ in Haven so they can look at it."
((OOC: The prologue here is to set the scene, the main characters are appearing in the next chapter.))
I will be watching for more story.
