You decide against issueing an Edict, and also send messengers to find and invite a Sorceress over.

Some quite good profits were brought by the silverware sales to your nobles.


A report arrives from Ysirene, about the glasswork.

Just like silver, it brought good profits to the Treasury.

Three mornings later, a guard runs into the throne room and drops to his knees.

"Lady Empress, a magnificent lady worthy of worship has appeared out of thin air at the gates of capital! She is a Sorceress and she calls herself Yornantei Worldserpent!" Of course, you have her invited into the throne room.

Her entourage enters first; a trio of silver-skinned nude men with 'equipment' so big and visible that its making ladies swoon and men grit teeth with jealousy; their eyes are sparkling like gold, and wings sprout from behind their ears. Seven black-skinned goblins follow after each silver-man, playing trumpets, triangles, drums, horns and flutes. Then, surrounding a giant golden centipede, sixteen fomorians with large femurs as weapons close the entourage.

On top of the golden centipede, with eyes like rubies, sits she; Yornantei Worldserpent. She is a tall woman with flowing blue hair that has color akin to finest lapises. Her skin is tan and she wears nothing except a very thin tunic that changes colors from pink to red to gold to silver with each move and gust of wind. Her wrists and ankles are decorated with so much bracelets and precious chains she shouldn't be walking, but she easily and noiselessly slides from her centipede, which clicks and drools, staring at you.

"I am Yornantei Worldserpent." The Sorceress speaks with melodic, but comandeering voice that has this cold echo in it, making your skin crawl with fear. "Queen of the Night, Protector of the Moon, Gardener of Stars and Forger of the Sword that will End the World. I have heard that my services are required by this petty land, and thus I have arrived. Nothing concerns me but the wealth you have, and I know that you have lots of it. What do you ask of me, speak!"

You ask her whether she can create another Flying Horse so you can have a breeding pair. Yornantei scoffs.

"Firstly, it would be beneath me to copy the work of such a cheap knockoff like Sirstara. Secondly, I didn't make that horse, so I do not know what it is made of, and I'm sure Sirstara wouldn't bother to visit you again, either."

You then tell her that you do not know what you-

"Cut that crap, we all know that you guys did this many times, I'm sure the players probably remember all the rules by now."

"What... players?" The Sorceress laughs.

"A figure of speech, miss." Yornantei winks at you.

It's one unit of Econ v;

Had to see where you got those 400 posts at :V

But sure, you will be joining with SBT.

@Jason:

Soon the terminal popped up a message from Interstore Sysadmins:

Interstore does not allow trading of military-grade items for money. That is violation of UNDMF Contractor License Agreement, article 38 paragraph 3.
Your offer has been rescinded.

That's what demigods do v;

Okay, so I'm wondering: wizards supposedly are protecting humans from the perils of magic, and this statement is not directly limited to the workings of sorceresses. How do they feel about dwarven blood rituals? Or elven incantations (if that's the right word)? Is some flavor of magic goodlier than others?

Wizards protect humans from evil. Both dwarven magic and elven magic are related to forces of nature, and thus not inherently evil, even if that magic is making people blow up.

Once at the Commander's office, Petersen shook each pilot's hand.

"Very well done, pilots. You've exelled in your duty and once again, welcome in Plymouth. Get used to fighting at moment's notice; lately the Martians are concentrating on Europe. Also, your badges now."

Commander Petersen opened up a small box handed to him by one of aides, and pinned small red strips to the breast of each pilot.

Lieutenant Josephine Valle Tala receives Combat Baptism badge!
Lieutenant Jason Thrace receives Combat Baptism badge!
Lieutenant Luis Augusto dos Santos Oliveira receives Combat Baptism badge!
Lieutenant Kenneth Parley receives Combat Baptism badge!

"I must congratulate Lieutenant Tala on her triple kill during her first mission. Rarely I've seen anyone score so many dead Martians so fast. Keep it up, and after next sortie I will pin an Ace badge to your uniform."

"Because I've seen your usefulness, prowess and loyalty in combat, your files have been uploaded into UNMDF Interstore and your names were authorized by the High Command. You may now inquiry other bases for equipment replacements or spare units, as well as offer Pilots posted anywhere your own Mecha parts you no longer use. Of course, do that through the computer terminals in your quarters"

//You can now search UNMDF Interstore via quarters for random pieces of equipment being available. You can ask for them, but chances are higher if you offer some other piece in return.

"High Command will also be expanding your squad in near future, hopefully we can reach the standard number of 6 within a month. That is all. Dismissed."

I'm nervous about our money situation. We got a massive one off payment of 4 economy

Oh. Ooooh.

Weeelp, time to revert 'v.

Give me a minute.
