[Factions Ep. 5 - Cat D][S15 - Rishi - TT] An ugly conclusion

I don't know if you've ever had to hack the head off a gigantic monster with nought but a pocket vibroblade, but it's not a fun job. And, as for lugging the thing back myself; why would I do that, when I have staff?

Well anyway, we managed to get it all the way back to the Rishii shaman, and was he grateful? In a word: no. 

Y'see, apparently I had misinterpreted the guy's chatter. It seems the artefact we were looking for was guarded by the Maungur, rather than being the prize for killing it. What's more, while the monster preys upon the Rishii, they consider it sacred, and do nothing to harm it - slack-jawed nerf-herders that they are.

So you can imagine what happened when we turned up with its head; the Rishii blacklisted me, destroyed that artefact, and banished the Triumvirate from their territory; the Triumvirate demoted me, exiled me off to the farthest corner of the galaxy, and sent the troops in instead. I can't say I did the diplomatic corps a service that day, but dammit, I did my best! Put life and limb on the line for my people.

Ah, but there's no use crying over spilled blue milk. And things weren't always so bad. Just listen to the next one.

Really nice, so many great little details!

Love the story from your character's point of view! I feel like your walkways should be more flush with the DBG hill it's on. Looks a little off to have it floating about the tiles. Or maybe have exposed studs instead of tiles under the walkway.

Thanks. I know what you mean. Maybe I should've cantilevered some steps out of the wall instead. I'm going to chalk this up to the limitations of the category, though. If I was able to build a larger base, I would probably have had the walkway angled towards us and supported at both ends.

That story made me laugh. Looks like Mr. Bibbly, Fnabbed everything up on Rishi. Let's see if Cdr. Bannon have any luck.

Yep, I actually had this planned way before the episode came along. I wanted him to get send off to Gigor for some reason, coz I want to develop that planet, and I knew Rishi would probably be the last one I looked at in this area of the map.
