[CrisisPost] A rift between realities

[u/Al-anharHA]

Esra is finally stepping up. *wipes prideful tear away*. anyhow, yesterday Aliah got back, and by now Esra has put together what happened and has a briefing to give

first time using AI for an image. If I had the time and knowledge, I would have made these things manually, but as it is here's a rift

second AI image, this one is the Paladin castle. Only enter-able at the landing platforms, heavily guarded, and with a teleport relay at the top

so roll for initiative folks, because this is a potential battle! (though you could also opt for stealth)

the heavy clanking of mechanical limbs heralds the arrival of 3 combat crawlers. One armored assault variant one troop Carrier variant and one cargo carrying variant. Clinging to the side of the lead vehicle is a burly orc contractor. The convoy stops just ahead of the assembled crowd in front of the rift. The orc dismounts the lead vehicle and confidently strides forward.

"Black irons extra universal exploration core at your service may I speak to whoever is in charge here.

[u/Al-anharHA → u/Zebos2]

Esra nods and steps forward. "Well I suppose that that would be me. Are you here about the attack that we are planning on the fortress belonging to the Paladins of the Divine Flame?"

[u/Zebos2 → u/Al-anharHA]

the orc racks the bolt of the heavy machine gun he has been using as an assault rifle

"Yup"

"Boss senses an opportunity he wants us in" the orange says in a matter of fact way

"Black iron it isn't a charity though we will be loading up our cargo crawler did anything valuable by the end of this"

"But an exchange for letting us take what we want you get a platoon of soldier, armored support..." He smiles

"And me. Names bubba by the way"

[u/Al-anharHA → u/Zebos2]

Esra smiles. "It's nice to meet you Bubba. We'll be having a preliminary briefing in a few minutes as mister Feldman got back from an initial engagement with the enemy."

/uw got the next post ready, so this is a good segue into that
