"Matikclocker, I have seen you fight. I am surprised the Isoren's aren't already destroying all of your stuff."
"Creator?" KV-103 turned to Ignem, "I only know mine by name, Gerallax, never met him in person, only know that he completed my AI conditioning just before the dracolisks destroyed every last trace of his previous endeavors on that one fateful day. His memory will be avenged..."

"Aw man! How do you do that? I blame my creator. I never got a tutorial. Never even got the arm cannon I requested."
903:27MAGICIAN "Lucretia" Uses magic weapons, Purple with gray trim, Happy go lucky until she's angry then she gets serious, missing left eye,
No one understands how, but she can use magic innately (Me: Are all Machinauts magical? We got magic wands. I'm assuming it's part of the wand) ((99: Yo, I got a new player that I forc-I mean convinced they should give a try at the game. Right now, steam and the wiki hate each other, this account is so old I don't know the old password, and new account means I have to do tutorial AGAIN, lol))
((Got it. As soon as Lucirea can post, I'll have her bio ready.
The next battle will be in about five days. Crafting is enabled until then, so go ahead and look through the 4* Gear Catalog to see if you can use those crowns you all just got!))
((I miss important plot stuff))
"Our creator is Doctor Sertak," Faidra corrected Ignem, "and records along with info from Maydra say that he perished shortly before Obsidithax invaded the colony." He paused. "Not to mention, Doctor Sertak was male. As for other Machinauts made by him."
Units made under Doctor Aero Sertak:
*SFN-001 - DESTROYED
*SFN-002 - DECOMMISSIONED
*SFN-003 - DESTROYED
*SFN-004 - DESTROYED
*SFN-005 - DESTROYED
*SFN-006 - DESTROYED
*DSN-000 "HEIDRA" - ACTIVE, WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN
*DSN-001 "FAIDRA" - ACTIVE
*DSN-002 "MAYDRA" - ACTIVE
"Maydra?" Faidra looked through the log. "Who are these SFN units?"
"Oh, them? They were made back when Sertak and Farsor were still close. SFN is short for 'Sertak-Farsor-Numbers'. They were so much fun to hang around. #1 and #4 were always arguing over whose battle plans were better, #3 tried acting as the mediator despite being a big goof, and-"
"How do you know so much about them?" Faidra asked.
Maydra stopped. For a while, she didn't speak, and when she finally did, she sounds melancholic. "I'll... I'll tell you about it later. In any case... hmm... someone who knew the Doctors... and was in a stasis chamber...?" For a second Maydra went silent. "Oh my vog."
"May-"
Suddenly, Faidra's left eye shifted from purple to yellow. "Oh my vog! Faidra, we're gonna meet Veydra again! Ohhh, it's been far too long since I've last seen her."
Faidra tilted his head slightly. "Vey... dra?"
"She's Sertak's younger sister, and the basis for us DFN units' names." She mutters a "and Farsor's wife" only softly enough for Faidra to hear before jerking their arm. "Come on, we have to go see her!"
---Commercial Time---
Me: "Hey, Gerallax."
Gerallax: "What is it my slightly less furry friend?"
Me: "You know how KV-103's biggest selling point, other than the fact that he was heavily armored, was his powerful neuro-AI? I mean, does the Fallen King really need an AI that powerful for his role?"
Gerallax: "Yes, although he doesn't really display any trait or personality other than his hatred for aliens and traitors, but I can ensure you, an Ultra Heavy Machinaut necessitates a powerful neuro AI. A neuro AI is much like your brain, the human brain is constantly performing calculations to maintain things such as balance, and even then, it takes years to learn standing upward as an infant."
Me: "I sure came a long way from crawling on the floor and peeing myself."
Gerallax: "Now imagine you are in the body of a KV-103, an Ultra Heavy Machinaut weighing at no less than 5 metric tonnes, moving around while fighting the momentum of a walking battle tank will be far harder. Just like your brain, KV-103's AI needs to perform calculations to maintain balance while walking, sprinting and charging, a normal computer AI would not even be able to make KV-103 stand up straight, much less swinging a weapon with any efficiency in battle."
Me: "Oh well, at least now we know where most of his 'brain power' went to."
[I seem to be malfunctioning. Please insert kittens into my brain car.]
Thrynn mutters a tankload of incomprehensive nonsense similarly, before a slight silence.
[The Scarlet one was pretty nifty looking. That reminds me, why don't we ever try to assimilate other machinauts, and or recode them to fight by our side?]
While Thrynn's mental state is a bit questionable, it seems he's now speaking the native language, and not crazyese.
((Doc, don't forget to move idle Machinauts off the active list))
"We have never had much chances to reprogram enemy Machinauts," Faidra informed. "Aside from the fact that there we have only fought a handful up to now, most Machinauts have a complex AI that cannot be reprogrammed easily without corruption."
"Faidra, can we please go now? I really want you to me her."
"Okay, Maydra, we can go. Stop yanking our arm, you might pull it off." Faidra's arm finally lowered and his yellow eye shifted back to purple. "Matikclocker, where is the entrance?"
((Wall of text inbound! Take cover! ...or not.))
"The entrance is...on the opposite side. The turrets and main door is only for confusing the enemy. Move along!"
Matikclocker entered the facility.
"Stay here, you need to be authorised to enter. And in Matik Co, authorising people requires the authorized ones to remember their MatID, issued by a sentry robot."
Then he turned to a sentry.
"HELLO, I AM SENTRY-2A. MAY I HELP YOU?"
"I'd like to authorize my fellows behind me."
"AUTHORIZE? SURE, TELL ME THEIR NAMES, OR IF THEY'RE ROBOTS, SERIAL NUMBERS."
Matikclocker began to tell every Machinaut's serial number.
"ISSUING MatID...BE SURE TO REMEMBER THOSE, IF YOU MENTION SOMEBODY BY THEIR SERIAL NUMBER OR THEIR MODEL NAME, PEOPLE MAY GET CONFUSED. AND REMEMBER THAT IN MATIK CO. DISPUTES ARE OFTEN SOLVED...WITH EXPLOSIVES."
Sentry-2A sent a MatID file to every Machinaut. ((Bear in mind that if you don't like your MatID, then you can get a reissued one))

"ONE MORE QUESTION - REMEMBER THAT AUTHORISATION FOR EVERY FACILITY?"
"Yes."
"AUTHORISATION REMEMBERED."
"I don't want my friends to be authorised every single time they enter." After that Matikclocker said to Machinauts, "About my previous models, listen. My serial number is M-OVC-2002, right? The M means "Main", which is an all-rounder. "OVC" means Overclocked Industries, which built me. Before I created Overclocked Industries, I was Matikclocker F-ISO-2000, where the F standed for "Fighter" and "ISO" means I was built by Isorans. I know many other models, I will list all recently created ones. If you want some history about one of them, just ask."

"I'd like not to talk about the Annihilaclocker line, but if you re really curious then ask me what's wrong with them."
"What's wrong with the Anni--"
"Wait, you were of Isorian origin!?" Bulb interrupted Mute's inquiry to start his own. "Why did you never tell me that!?"
Looking to the sides, Mute noticed an Alchemy Station nearby. He deployed his lousy partner on the ground and went off to fiddle with his gear.
"No, seriously, I realy would've liked to know that before!! How did you even get away from HQ, anyway?!?!"
((I'll start Chapter 4 three days from now.))
"Hmm. Yeah, Isoran tech is catching on fast. We've already implemented a number of their design choices. As for Kreinn, he's dead by now. Lived around the same time as Sertak and Farsor. I wouldn't be surprised if it's been used in modern Machinauts."
"As for reprogramming Machinauts... yeah. It'd take way too much time. And considering we approach sentience, there are a number of ethical questions involved as well. That said... if TH-006 wasn't just too dangerous to disable? I'd approve suppressing some of her memories. TH-006's containment pod was activated prematurely, and she spent years in there. Many Machinauts approach sentience, and she was no difference- TH-006 slowly built up a huge backlog of the exact same memory, while Alchemical capacitors meant to increase her magic output were overloading with energy. And to top it all off, her pod fell out of the whole gear when Obsidithax struck." IS-M44 sighs. "Something must have snapped by then. When Wrecch took her in, the backlogs in her pod show she was surrounded by corpses, all erroneously identified hostile and friendly at the same time..."
"Anyway, ASSASSIN, we're glad to have you back online. And I think I'm getting another Machinaut on the line that wants to join up with you..."
"Actually, it was Matik Co. that build me first. The VERY FIRST prototype called the Overclocker Sentry was supposed to be industrial-grade sentry robot that attacks any intruder and has various potential of clocking. Every clock level generates more power for the weapons. Shortly after the Overclocker Sentry was announced, it quickly became consumer-grade, which made the CEO angry. He built a more weaponised version of it, which of course became consumer-grade too. One day, a war broke out between the sentries and humans. The bombs were released, the Earth was a chaos. The Overclocker Sentries were destroyed from massive portions of radiation. The CEO of Matik Co. decided to sell his Overclocker Sentry blueprints to somebody else. And that's where the Isorans came in, buying the blueprints and creating overclocked robots for the purpose of increasing the unit power during the Morai Wars. Now that you know about the origin of 'clockers, let's talk about me."
"The seventh prototype of Fightclocker line, F-ISO-2000, called the "Matikclocker" was built on Skylark. The people still tried to figure out what caused me to be so unstable I exploded after bumping into Morai. When Skylark's tearium core exploded, some of the energy transferred into my body. I've immediately turned on and took action. Within the first seconds of the ship explosion, I've managed to activate my jetpack and wind up on Cradle. Somehow, I was pretty far away from others - no rescue camps, only monsters, obstacles, gaps etc. I've managed to get past through them. After that comes the beginning of Overclocked Industries, how I met Energyload and Heavyduty-Charge, other robots working with me, and so on."
Matikclocker paused for a while, muttering something.
"Guess that Kreinn isn't a worker by now, since he's dead."
Then he continued, "As for how I joined your team, I was just running away from devilites. Because I was unable to escape completely, I had to place explosives. The explosives killed some of them, but then I fell into the Over the Road Disinformation Tech facility. And that's the origin of me in your team. If not my respawn capabilities, you'd have to struggle with your health revives."
Matikclocker once more paused, just to send Mute a message about the Annihilaclocker line.
"The Annihilaclockers are the destroyers of worlds, minions of Mechanolord the Annihilator. They are capable of drilling DIRECTLY to the core of the planet, generating bombs with a power of 9 million Meteotillery Primes, using annihilasers to sweep out everything and creating planet-devouring mines in the remote parts of the planets. Every time an Annihilaclocker is updated, it gets more destructive. The last Annihilaclocker, going by the serial number of MECH-ANI-3/0001, ran out of battery power and went offline. Legends say that once the Annihilaclocker turns back on or Mechanolord finds him, he gets upgraded to Annihilaclocker NULL-IF1-3R/DIE, which will create a Null-Bomb that will ERADICATE THE WHOLE UNIVERSE. So that's why I don't want to talk about them."
Finally, he began explaining about the CEO of Matik Co.
"The CEO seem to be a little bit derpy, sometimes humorous, but in battle he can be VERY devastating. He wields a plasma grenade launcher and a subatomic laser cannon. Sometimes, when in high danger, his right eye flashes purple, but when his eye is purple and isn't flashing...that means he is about to turn into the Protonium Striker, which can erase a full row of TH-006 "Scarlet Devil" machinauts within 30 seconds. But, when his left eye flashes red, he is deploying a module, choosed randomly by him: Blink, Shield, Cloak and EMP. That's all you should know about the CEO's combat capabilities."
He turned to IS-M44 then.
"Was Doctor Kreinn working in Matik Co? I've been creating so much theories my memory is at 98%."
"Then... you are not a machinaut... the term 'Machinaut' is reserved for a sentient AI robot exclusively built by the members of the torchbellow clan," KV-103 turned to Maticlocker, his hand gripped the maul of Cerberus a bit tighter, "And also, it sounded like your CEO could wage a war all on his own, perhaps we should take on the swarm with him by our side, that way we will emerge victorious for sure."

KV-103's voice lines, if he was an Overwatch character, obviously in this version he is a human hating Omnic who was built to replace bastion units as the next generation front line shock troop.

"Matik2002 is an one man army guy that can be very devastating at times. I can dial him and-"
Suddenly, Matik2002's voice could be heard.
"Hey, you! How's the Kinetic Cryoblazer going? Are the catalysts here? Have we got the freezing crystals?"
"We don't have them yet!"
"Then tell them to hurry up! We need this superweapon complete very-" Then he tripped.
Matikclocker said, "Yup, that's Matik. He is the CEO of Matik Co. Perhaps if we can talk to him..."
After a while Matik ran to Matikclocker, excited.
"Matikclocker! Long time no see! You wanted to talk to me? Wait, who are they?"
"They are the Machinauts. I've authorised them, so don't worry, they won't cut you."
"I want their MatIDs. Hurry up, lad! Soon my favorite TV program is starting!"
"Faidra1, KVKing, Rocketboy, 2xNano, GThrynn54, Fixer42 and MutePad."
"So, what's the case?"
"KVKing was talking about you, thinking if you-"
Matik interrupted Matikclocker's talk.
"M'sure. KVKing, is there anything you need?"
"So the exit would just be the way we came from." Faidra turned back. "We will meet back up later."
"And don't try and spy on us, that's rude."
As they leave, a thought comes to Faidra's mind. "Maydra, what is Veydra like?"
"Well, it's been a while since I last saw her," Maydra said, "but she was in stasis during that time. For one, she's really nice and sweet. She can see the good in most anyone she meets, which I guess is why she fell in love with Doctor Farsor. But, she also has a rather nasty side to her, so don't get her angry, no matter what."
((Going to have to push back the first official Chapter 4 battle one day because of plot reasons.))
"Kreinn?" IS-M44 says, "Probably not. I don't think there was a Matik Co. Branch around a hundred or so years ago, and that's roughly when Kreinn was alive."
"Anyhow, a number of Machinauts have implemented external technology, but KV-103 is mostly right. Machinauts, by definition, have Torchbellow Gremlin or Torchbellow-affiliated creators. Regardless, you're always welcome in the Advance Force... hold on. What? What are you doing on this channel? ...Oh. All right, send the playback over."
IS-M44 sighs. "It translated the third Audio Log you found... well, no, actually, it deciphered itself. It's that Hooded Gremlin again... I'll let it speak for itself."
IS-M44 plays back the recording...
”Thought you’d live after all that nonsense with the Thaargan? Ha ha ha… you’ll live a while longer. You’re amusing, Advance Force. Defying me is one thing, but defying the Swarm? You have impressive skill in combat, I’ll admit. But you misuse it. Have you ever spared a thought to the crimes of your precious Torchbellow clan?
I know, some of you are probably ignoring me now, throwing a tantrum. ‘You’re wrong! The Torchbellow are perfect little angels!’ No. No, they’re not. They’re all the same. Out for themselves, and more than willing to throw each other under the bus to save themselves. Don’t tell me I’m wrong- there’s a lot of dead Gremlins who have. I’ve been thrown under the bus too many times to forgive.
You may be wondering why I’ve thrown in my lot with the Swarm? Let me give you the short version. Gremlin society is irredeemable. ALL OF IT. The Tinkinzan Empire, the Sandlasher nomads, the Torchbellow Clan- they all deserve to die. But me? I intend to fix it. That’s what Gremlins are meant to do, is break things and fix things. The Subversion Helms were just the beginning of that. By the way, you’re not scanning them. All scans will turn up blank and detonate the helmet. Why? You don’t need to know how the Subversion Helms worked. The Torchbellow would probably use them for something stupid.
So! Going off to dragon land, I assume! Pathetic. I bet you’re going to be begging for their help against the Swarm. Dracolisk society isn’t any better, you know. Politicians are the same whether they’re Gremlins or Dracolisks. And if you knew what I knew about some of those politicians, you’d be terrified. Besides... gathering allies will be smarter than a head-on assault, but it’s still the inferior option to just laying down and dying! I do intend to recreate Gremlin society. You might have a place if you comply!
Anyway. I’ll stop wasting my time with your feeble minds. Whatever doesn’t get assassinated, I’ll happily eliminate when I get around to it. Don’t expect this audio log to change. I’ll leave you another one if I ever decide I need to waste more of my time.”
IS-M44 waits about ten seconds, then speaks. "Well. That... says a lot about this Hooded Gremlin. But who could it be? There's a number of recorded unethical acts in the Torchbellow's past... This Gremlin is bitter about at least one of them. Assuming he's telling the truth."
"All right, get your weapons ready. We're going down to Dracolisk territory, regardless of his taunts."
"Excuses are the refuge of the weak," KV-103 huffed, "Just because the Torchbellow clan is corrupted doesn't give you the right to strike bargain with the Swarm. Every men and women who ever tried to control the swarm have fell to its influence, this hooded Gremlin will fair no better."
Matik2002 bursted into laughter. "I KNEW IT! Nothing interesting from conversations about Sertaks, Farsors etc." Then he stopped.
"If I only had those deafeners..."
"Anyways, I will join you on the dracolisk territory. As long as my protonium is concentrated, I will keep you safe and sound."
Then he paused, his right eye turning purple and voice changing.
"Even if I have to sacrifice a weapon for you all."
Matik's right arm was armed with a giant laser cannon "Leviathan", and the other one was armed with the plasma launcher "Goliathon".
His left eye switched to red and his voice changed again. "Let's wipe out some enemies..."

"So, someone gets salty about how corrupt everyone is and decides to fix it by becoming more corrupt than everyone else combined. You know, that's precisely how my people ended up into a flying soup can, flying away from their ravaged homeworld, into the middle of nowhere. IS-M44, tell Nalki and her people to watch themselves, they might end up like my kin soon, heh."

"I'd prefrer to have saved these crowns for another bomb, but considereing our last fight, some adequate protection is a bigger priority. I can still feel the dents of those projectiles on my inner plating."
Almost looking like an old man, the machinaut shakily picks up Lightbulb and attaches him in his usual spot on Mute's back.

((EDIT: I was not aware that Midnight's Ultranauts were the goddamn Titans of Cradle mithology, that are older than most cities. Sorry.
Well, I might as well not give Mute a backstory at all. His past activities were supposed to be when one of Geralax's kin were still alive, but I wasnt in knowledge that DJ REALY meant that Fallen King was the last remnant of a long forgotten time.
Also, before any more misunderstandings happen, how old is Gerallax and his creations supposed to be, anyway? ))

"How bad can swarm be? (99 shrugs) The gremlin does seem crazy. From experience, crazy's can't be reasoned with, have stupid objectives, and will stop at nothing to complete those objectives. I should know, my master... (99 trails off, with a look of fear) well, let's not talk about my fellow models. Only regret is someone killed him before I was completed, so I could do it myself."
"What are you even talking about Mute?" KV-103 turned to PAD-103, its hand gripped tightly to the chainsword, "KV-85 unit three 'Azariah' was only in active service during the great unification war began almost 10,000 years ago, before you, me and my creator existed. It was a time of great strife and the Ultra heavy machinauts were called forth to battle by the order of Tinkinzar, it was a time when even machinauts of my size were but mere scouts. Machinauts like you would only be fit to polish the boots of those grand war machines of the old."
"KV-85s were powered by an ancient technology lost to the torchbellow clan, their AIs were known as the logic engine," KV-103 continued, wincing at the gun puppy, "a miniature super computer inside each of their head. My neuro-AI can only emulate 10% of a logic engine's capability. To them, we are but crude contraptions, even if Azariah was still active 200 years ago, what makes you think he... she... it-" KV-103 facepalmed at the notion of machines having gender, "-would ever sacrifice itself for the likes of you? I would be more than glad to take Azariah's place if it means we can preserve its logic engine and gain access to its vast combat data and historical records, but alas... history of the torchbellow is convoluted, perhaps it is better that way."
((@Matik: Unfortunately, you're probably not going to be able to bring Matik2002 to most battles. That said, he may show up in some of them, depending on if the diplo team comes under attack.
@Sono: If you'd like, write out any conversations you have with Veydra before the minor time-skip in this post.
Remind me that tomorrow I have to apply 200 heat to everyone but ASSASSIN (and fix ASSASSIN's HP and Defenses). I'll finish Lucretia's bio tomorrow as well.))
"Cool your caps, 103. A number of Machinauts have been made as homages to other things. If your information on Azariah is correct, it's reasonable to expect the 'Azariah' Mute's referring to is one of those." IS-M44 adds, "Also, what's that 'the likes of you' nonsense? Take my advice. That is a bad choice of words to use for someone that prevented the Thaargan ship from blowing up a large part of our force."
"Right. As for Matik2002, we could use a stronger personal guard for the diplo team. After that message from that Gremlin traitor, I'm expecting there might be a sneak attack on the diplo team. Matik2002 checks out, so we'll have him cover the diplo team directly, in case anything gets by you."
"All right, be ready to move in three hours. The elevator ride's going to be a long one."
--CHAPTER FOUR--
The Council in Chaos
Dracolisks are among some of the most long-lived creatures on Cradle. Some Dracolisks have been known to live for five thousand years. Between that, their survival in the dangerous sector of Stratum 5 known as the Dragonspire, and the Dracolisks' sheer size and might as well as their famous breath weapons, they have long been given to great, often foolhardy pride. This only increased when they adopted a more parliamentary system of government; indeed, at times, the Dracolisks' Council of Scales was more like an oligarchy than a parliament.
All this came to a head when Obsidithax, a Moon Dracolisk, spread a fell doctrine. According to Obsidithax, Dracolisks were made to rule Cradle, and thus should take all of it by any means necessary. This led to a vicious siege of the Torchbellow city a hundred years ago by beast, breath and bombs. Fortunately, it also led to Obsidithax's downfall- and many Dracolisks, shocked by their brother's atrocity toward good Gremlins, now oppose his philosophy. Since then, a number of government reforms have passed, in an attempt to limit the power of the Council and prevent their number from doing something like that again.
But there are older grudges than those the Torchbellow carry. Ancient grudges spanning a thousand years or more are not easily removed. And not all of the dangers around the Dragonspire are simple beasts or undead. Some of the threats there are highly insidious, and will be more than willing to stoke those grudges...
------3 hours and 30 minutes later------
"Elevator 0102 at destination - no anomalies."
As the automated PA says this, the elevator safety doors rumble open, allowing you into the wilderness of the outer Dragonspire. A path is clearly visible, but it's starting to build up a lot of foliage around it. "Whooo. Well then, that's where danger would show up: all that foliage. All right, ascertain that the entrance field is clear of danger. We'll be sending the elevator back up for the diplo team."
After you safely get off the elevator, it starts moving once again, hurtling back up toward the Depth 1 landing. But little time passes before a threat shows itself. Feral Wolvers leap out of the brush and gather to attack you, while Power Drops emerge in search of something to eat...
"Come in, Advance Force. You've got trouble. But it looks like you have the upper hand. Wipe these beasts out as quick as you can, and see if you can scout ahead. They're the only hostiles we're picking up so far."

BEFORE THE ELEVATOR...
Matik2002 got sad that he can't go with the Advance Force. "Weh! That would be fun, but diplo team is a higher priority it seems..."
He paused for 5 seconds, then he sounded a bit serious.
"The diplo team will be escorted safe 'n' sound. Oh, and one more thing...I will be back. And when I do, I can strike down ANY TIME. Understood? Now, I gotta go check on my superweapon for the last time before beginning the escort ops. See ya."
Matik2002 went behind the elevator, saying "I know a good shortcut, I won't waste time looking for them directly." Then he teleported near the diplo team when nobody was looking.
"Hello lads and ladies! I am Matik2002, the CEO of Matik Co. and your guard, sent by Advance Force to take care of you all and escort you safely. Guess that we're going out now, huh?"

AFTER THE ELEVATOR...
Matikclocker let out a sigh. "Wolvers. My most ferocious enemy. Guess that you want to make it in a SHOCKING way, huh?"

((I cut out Mute's dialogue about his past. I'll go think of something else for his backstory. Sorry Midnight, I guess I should have took a look at your stories before trying to place my character in them.))
Mute was still confused as to why Fallen let out this random bit of lore about his kind, but he definitely took notes to how old his siblings were.
That definitely justifies a few things about his behavior.
With the elevator's arriving to it's destination, Mute immediately reached to the bomb he'd be using in a place like this. Wilderness. Beasts. Splinter Bomb. As he grabbed it, however, Lightbulb reminded him that they were there to secure the position, so they had time to "set up camp". That's the term Bulb lets out whenever he wants to be deployed.
By the time the wild beasts inevitably arrived, Lightbulb was already firmly positioned on the ground and ready to fire.

Do note that this does not mean KV series are the best machinauts ever, they still suffer from the usual drawbacks of being a large mech, slow and inflexible, which is why KV-103 always favored melee weapons and shock assault tactics, since his strong armor is best used in overpowering weaker foes in close quarter combat.
Of course, after the unification war when Tinkinzar have all but united most of the Gremlin tribes, with Torchbellow having some amnesty due to their contribution in the war (namely machinauts) that and he can't be bothered to purge a clan so far away from his base of operation (great colony). The surviving Ultra Heavy machinauts either voluntarily submitted themselves to deactivation or were hunted down since they were never designed for peace time purposes. There may well be some surviving Ultranauts out there, still wondering the clockwork in search of purpose... woe betide if they ever crossed path with the Fallen King.
Gerallax is around his 30s (just before a Gremlin's middle age) when the torchbellow city was flattened by Obsidithax, he is not related to the original creators of the Ultranauts but he thought it was a nice gesture to restore a fading legacy by building ultranuats of his own with scattered ancient blue prints. KV-103 is only three years old at the time of the incident, with those three years spent in stasis undergoing vigorous VR training (effectively making KV-103 a war veteran by the time of his activation). KV-103 has a fusion core and its body was built to for last a long, long time.
The reason why KV-103 is titled as the remnant of a forgotten age is that the technology required to build him has since been lost to Torchbellow clan during the bombing. Even if anyone nowadays attempted to reverse engineer the Fallen King, it would require way too much resource and effort to do so, the entire Matik co. can go bankrupt from just creating one KV-103 due to the amount of rare minerals and precious resource required. ))

((Yeah, I should probably do the Veydra stuff before I forget.
This all is, of course, out of the Advance Force's hearing range.))
As Faidra exits the factory, they're greeted by a female gremlin. Despite her general appearance, her face suggests some very stressful experiences. As soon as eye contact is made, Maydra takes control and rushes over to her in a hug. "Veydra! Oh, it's been so long since I've seen you!"
"Uh!" Veydra could feel her breath escaping her lungs.
Before she could say anything, Maydra lets her go. "O-Oh, I'm sorry, Veydra! I forgot this isn't my usual body."
"No, no... it's alright." Veydra took a few deep breaths before continuing. "It has been a century, Maydra."
"Yeah, it's been too long." Maydra gave control back to Faidra, leaving one eye yellow. "Faidra, this is Veydra, Doctor Sertak's sister."
“Er,” Faidra held out a hand. “Greetings, Madam Veydra.”
Veydra shook it. “Hello, 001. Or should I call you ‘Faidra’? You must be wondering why I wanted to see you now. It's about Hark.”
“Doctor Farsor?”
“Yes. I'm sure you're aware of the things he has done in the past, even if some of it was justified.”
“Justified?” Maydra’s eye partially flared up. “He used his Dark Matter research to-”
“We pressured him into doing that very research, in case you’ve forgotten.” Veydra clenched her fists saying this, but relaxed them before continuing. “No one else wanted to do it, and his confidence was shot after the Machinaut Exhibition Trials.” She sighed. “And I know of his dealings with the Thaargan Pirates, but… I want you to forgive him for what he’s done. If not your entire team, then at least you two.”
“Veydra, what are you saying? We can’t forgive him for anything he’s done. Even if he was corrupted by Dark Matter, he was working with Thaargans. And he killed your brother!”
Veydra was silent. “… I know. Your brother told me after I was awakened.”
“Madam, I was with…” Faidra paused. “Do you mean 000?”
“Yes, ‘Heidra’. He’s currently getting repairs from another Gremlin and an Isoran mechanic. But with that said,” Veydra returned the subject to Farsor, “I know Hark wasn’t sane when he did those things. And as much as I want him to be punished for what he did before the invasion… I think he’s suffered enough before passing away.” This left the DSNs in shock.
“Farsor… died?”
“That explains the DFN units defecting from the Thaargan Pirates.”
“Despite his recent betrayals, Hark was a good, but misguided, man. And his Farsor Numbers-”
“Come in, DSN-001.” A voice crackled on Faidra’s comm. “The Advanced Force is preparing to leave to the Dragonspire.”
“Thank you, I’ll regroup with them soon.”
“Oh, well… We can continue this talk later, then.” Veydra walked up to Faidra, and rather-awkwardly hugged him before leaving.
----------
"Of course the way to the Dracolisks is not simple." Faidra primed his asteroid.

((Tonight's another delay; I simply won't have enough time tonight. I'll see you all tomorrow.))
((OOC: I am wondering...I want to add this trait to Matik2002:
[{O}] Emergency Power Core - Upon reaching 0 HP Matik2002 can persist for one turn, as long as the overkill won't reach 1500. Allows for dual weapon attacks.
Is this balanced? (Matik2002: OF course it is balanced! Me: Really? Remember: the overkill limit was implemented so swarming units will have a chance to take you down before the final turn occurs or even during the final turn. Matik2002: Aw snap.)

"Ha, they really amped up the Charge Attacks on those, didn't they?" IS-M44 says, "That was quite a show... hey, the lab boys said they could make a nice instructional video with some of the combat footage and sell it online after we're cleared to release it to the public. They're even paying for it. I told 'em they didn't have to, but, well, they insisted. Consider yourselves two thousand five hundred crowns richer."

"I am simply glad the are no illegal streaming sites nowadays," KV-103 commented, "Back then, instruction video like these would be pirated within days."
[I think my master would have been among the first to pirate them, heh... Wait.]
Thrynn ponders for a while, wondering if he'd been getting closer to the truth this whole time.
[Hmm. . .]
"..."
Matikclocker looked at Thrynn, then shifted his sight back on to the fallen enemies.
"...feral foes? More like a feral joke! Anyways, I agree with King. They can pirate them or they can even modify them. I don't want to find myself in a skirt attacking these guys."
-----
Meanwhile at Matik2002 and the diplo team...
"I feel that someone is sitting on my comlink, whispering "Lucretia..." I don't know why. Maybe I should dial Matikclocker 'bout this?"
Then he looked at them.
"And no, I am not fat, only part of my body is filled with le titanium."
((OOC: Nanonizer is my alt too, so technically I am already at the max cap))
"Rar Rar! Eat led, you starving dog!"
"Lightbulb, that Wolver was already dead."
"What the hell do you mean, 'already dead'?! It clearly was just taking a break on the ground, because it was too hungry to move! So I fed it some led!!!"
Mute facepalmed at Bulb's conviction that he actualy got the kill on a Wolver that died 10 seconds before he shot at it.
Hey, look, I had to look good for the video, allright? I already knew that Wolver was dead.
How did you even know they were recording?
Hah, you think those scanners on my eyes are just for targeting? I can tell when someone's taking a recording of us.
Right, you can. Next time we fall into a trap, I'll hold your teeth responsible for not telling us that we were being watched.
Uh....
"Nice shot with the Metteotilery, Faydra." Mute said, while readying the bomb he actualy wanted to use in the first place, his Splinter Bomb. Meanwhile, Bulb let out a loud bark.
"Keep 'em coming!"
(Charge Heavy Splinter Bomb)
"Cease fire Mute!" KV-103 ordered, "The current area is secure, save your ammunition for the Dracolisks."
[I hope you're just joking about the Dracolisks. Or, did I mishear about this being a peace mission?]
"We're not firing anything, King. We're standing in guard until the diplomat team arrives and is ready to move. Sometimes, you're not the only one who should keep his weapon armed outside of battle, KV."
Even while saying that, Mute eventualy decided to move to a slightly less threathening stance, and keep both of his hands gripped on the Splinter Bomb, for everyone's safety. Bulb kept his mouth wide open, almost resembling an actual dog as he scanned the perimeter throrougly in search of anything to shoot at. One could almost expect a tongue to come out of the gun puppy's barrel and start breathing air in rapidly.
It ocurred to both of them that Fallen had once again mentioned attacking the Dracolisks, but they were too busy keeping watch to start another lecture. Maybe another time.
((Next fight will start tomorrow, or Wednesday if something comes up tomorrow. I'll add Heat/Crowns then, too.))
IS-M44 reiterates, "Remember. Diplomatic mission. Attack only in retaliation or with approval. Even if you don't like the Dracolisks- and I understand perfectly why you don't- we can't start a war with them. War with them AND the Swarm would be disastrous. Besides, we can't find out what spawned the Antiflame if we don't get a chance to investigate this sector properly."
"Looks like you found your share of materials. Pick all of those up- you'll want them."

"These resource will prove useful for the battle ahead," KV-103 commented, "I doubt this diplomacy mission will end in anything less than a bloody confrontation... "
[Aw, c'mon! Don't be like that, I'm sure it'll be fine.]
[Right?]
(ENDING COMBAT MODE)
"King, maybe tone that defeatism down just a little. After all, you are dangerous prideful of your 'species', and that has been true of many tyrants and warlords"
Internal log:
Red: Didn't think you would have that opinion.
Rainbow: The chance's of victory against all of Cradle is small. Let them kill each other, then would be the time to strike.
Red: Then you better hope this alliance is temporary.
((Hi guys! Looking forward to playing. 99: This is Lucretia. Also, because of her character design, how do you get magic?))
"Ah Fallen King, you see, the word "diplomation" is to negotiate stuff without bloodshed." Matikclocker glared at King. He was about to say something else, but then he noticed Matik2002 still on location.
"Oh hey! I am wondering why-Wait-a-small-while...why aren't you in the dragonic 'lisks territory? Don't you have anything better to do?"
Then Matikclocker responded to King.
"Assuming that Matik2002 kills anything that enters his path, then I think that he can kill a dracolisk or two before the diplo team arrives..."
Then Matik2002 tried to send a voice message to Matikclocker, but he ended up sending to him and 99ASSASSIN.
"I've had a feeling that somebody is sitting on my all-new QuickCom Messenger, whispering "Lucretia" to me. IS that a prophecy? Or somebody hijacked my comms? Or somebody wants me to tell something? Like, there's somebody in the stasis/reactivated/produced by my corporation that I don't know about and it's called Lucretia?"
((Yep. It's gonna be tomorrow. I'll see you all then!))
Matikclocker standed further in disbelief, doing something in the dev console.
"They fled. Scarlet Devil, that seem to be the beginning of the WAR." he whispered.
If Doc_Kreinn = Matik_Co_Worker
print(What the-?!)
Then he walked up to Ignem.
"You can't seem to find a unique creator? Well then only Torchbellow made you...don't worry. One day you will find out."

"Oh hey ASSASSIN! Long time no see, we've been very busy. Actually, we had a wretched guy with mercenaries, one of them had a rune which made the lads flee, while the second is TO BE DESTROY-ahem, it had some crazy weaponry. And it seems...that the war is only the beginning. These three attacked one of Matik Co. Facilities to gain control over CRS and probably brainwash my clones and turn them against me."
"And I have a feeling that they had fun with my quick Gravitime exploding. Heh, heh, heh...now there are rumors about Doctor Kreinn, who of course knew Sertak and Farsor very well. While I am not associated with Kreinn at all, it seems that that doctor might've worked in Matik Co. and I didn't know that."
Matikclocker then proceeded to dial Matik Co. CEO, under the name of Matik2002 about the incident.
"We fight fiends and bring in doom, Mat at phone."
"Hi. Some mercenaries attacked our facilities."
"Whaaaaaaaaaaa?! How they could! ...who are they?"
"Captain Wrecch, archdevilite Spor-zin'tur and TH-006 "Scarlet Devil". I was fixated on destroying the Scarlet one."
"Spor-zin'tur? More like SPORK-zin'tur! I saw that fight, he used a rune and escaped all piglets."
"Yeah, but back on topic. How is the superweapon going?"
"The [CLASSIFIED]? Yeah, it's in 65% completion, we need to order catalysts and some blue freezing crystals, then we can rock."
"Are your mercenaries on standby?"
"Yeah, they're ready...Is your Scarlet running?"
"Yeah, she ran away to lower strata just to cut your face."
"Welp, then better catch her...I really wanna a pic of you with her! Hahaha!
"MATIK! Stop!"
"Oh, sorry, couldn't resist...Anyways, gotta go, I need to check my mech. Bai!"
"Oh! One more thing - do you know Doctor Kreinn?"
"WHAT! Is that guy a worker in my facilities?!"
"No, but rumors is that someone left the facility under attack and wants to meet with DSN-001."
"DSNs, right. They always need to have a talk with every doctor who created DXN-XXX 'nauts. Uh, gotta go, my mech is shooting where it shouldn't."
"See ya soon."
Matikclocker still had a feeling to destroy TH-0006.
((While I am in most games called "Matik2002", there are some facts. In fanfics Matik is the CEO of Matik Co. so in fanfics/RPs Matikclocker and Matik2002 are separate entities, while in reality they are one thing.))
