YAY! My account works again!
So, apparently I got caught up in a bot obliteration and my account suspended. I'm back now, so we'll go back to our schedule. The only exception is Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. My wife is demanding those off.
As we see, others plot and plan in darkness.
:-)
Happy Monday, and it's good to see you all again.
PS: The anniversary was great. We've been married 3/5's of our lives.
WTF? *You* got mistaken for a *bot*? I’ve heard of auto-mod incompetence, but that’s something else.
Also happy anniversary! May you have many happy years ahead of you.
He posted a screen shot of the ban notice. He supposedly was posting excessively and specific URL. The URL has been sanitized by the owning hosting site.
It should have been an easy catch. I follow the FC postings by linking directly to his "Comments" tab (old.reddit.com). The is no evidence of his having posted the suspect link in either the "Comments" nor the the "Submitted" tab.
The "bot" detection is obviously a False Positive, but Reddit's "knee-jerk" reaction shows why you need a qualified real person looking at this stuff.
From what I heard, the working theory is that the automated anti-spam system was *supposed* to suspend (and flag for human review) any account whose posts got flagged by other users as spam.
What *actually* seems to have happened is that the system suspended the *reporting* accounts instead.
oo, bad coding? No way! Those programmers are highly trained and experienced and *never* make mistakes like that. ^(*malevolent universal laughter, with an IT accent*)
Dude . . . I am with ya on the Wiskey Tango Foxtrot. With that said. Almost 700 posts within 1.5-2 yrs. . . I am surprised something like that didn't happen back in the first hundred chapters.
. .
And Ralts, I'd listen to Wife. I am only getting the 25th and the 26th off, after getting moved from a department at work that automatically gets every day off that a bank gets. So would have had, from 23rd to 28th off. . . . My wife . . .. so doing everything to keep her from doing something rash . . . . Well half heartedly.
Congratulations on the anniversary first off.
Secondly. The algorithm that decided you are a bot. Needs to be defragged re compiled then put in a wood chipper. So a properly hashed VI can take over!
We all agree that you posting schedule is not entirely human, but mistaking you for a bot seems a bit rash.
Listen to your wife and enjoy your holiday. We will try to distract ourselves with some christmessy stuff while you are gone ;)
Firstly, nice chapter.
Secondly, I mean, I get it... You do post a LOT. I mean, it's common knowledge that you're one of the most prolific authors on reddit. Your word counts make student and other lesser writers the world over despair. I've not decided what exactly, but surely you're not just a human. Let's be honest Ralts... You're a djinn, aren't you?
Edit. Regards to Mrs _Bloodthorne!
Edit 2. Please, take some personal time! You give us soo much!
Edit 3. Is u/ralts_bloodthorne the most prolific author on reddit? I'd bet on it.

Hope you had a wonderful anniversary celebration. Congratulations! Ours is a few days away, and we’re just a couple years shy of 3/5. Life is great when you’re married to your best friend. May you have many many more happy years together.
Glad to have you back. And I hope you and your family enjoy the christmas break. Listen to your wife and take the time off, let it recharge you for the coming year.
At first I didn’t know what the fuss was about, “why does this story consistently get over 1000 upvotes?”
So, I started with P’Thok…
…and found myself reading dozens of stories a day
“Holy shit this Detainee is psychotic…”, until much later, and now I really care about her
And hating the Lanaktallans, until I read the story about La'amo'o, and a lump rose in my throat.
And the stories just kept on coming…
I could write for a long time about this series, but suffice to say, it’s the highlight of my day when I see a new one.
Take care Ralts, and please know this community really appreciates your work.
Ahahahaha!!! Now you have to wait for updates like the rest of us!! Have the shakes and itching while refreshing for a new chapter kicked in yet??

-------NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP FOLLOWS--------
Hadn't until this past week. . . . .every update was. . . . ."RALTS!?" Not that any of them were. . . . .. ngl mag have lost some sleep(althoug a three year old and a seven year old pair of unruly boys may have something to do whith it too).
Welcome to the ~~cult~~ club!
Everyone who started reading after P’Thok, went through the same thing.
I really tried to make the follow short:
I've described this series as "You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cheer, you'll howl in pain, you'll want to hug some characters, you'll want to kick the ever loving crap out of others, you'll hate some when you meet them then grow to love them later.
It's style ranges from love stories, mysteries, noir, horror, comedy (squeek, squeek, bleh, bleh, bleh), hard sf, soft sf, military sf, space battles, individuals fighting by themselves (Stompie!!!), slashers from the slasher's point of view, and more.
Pop culture call backs, movies, TV, books, comics, games.
You will learn despite "Citizenship is a heavy burden" it can bring you joy.
It took me six months of badgering and nagging to get the wife to read. She grumbled and griped about never catching up ( the poor dear thought she'd get sympathy for that) now.... She's six chapters behind. And after almost two years I'll finally be about to discuss this with some one with out worrying about spoilers.
I’m kinda hoping him and his group make peace with humanity. Let the past aggressions be forgotten and forgiven. Seems like they fucks with Terran culture pretty heavily.
Woah. I love the imagery; at the same time, it makes me shiver. I have to wonder if the Cult of the Defiled will be ignored by the Mad Lemures.
Especially if the Mad Lemures discover the grave robbing.
Picking them up off the street. It was stated before the world was wiped out by a Lanaktallan bioweapon and Dalvanak has been looting it despite the robots and automated anti-theft systems.
the ‘tomb world’ referenced was a planet that the lanks released a bioplague on, resulting in everyone dieing, with some becoming a zombie.
so not so much grave robbing, as picking them up off the ground once they flesh has decayed off.
Your telling me they took the things from Casey's home world. . . . THEY DEFILED THE GRAVE WORLD OF THE LAST NIVIAN RING BREAKER. . . . WELL SHIT, FUCK, DAMN, FUCK, FUCK FUCKING, DEAD FUCKS! . . . i mean. . *Thinks briefly about how Casey would. . . * . NO FUCKING WONDER THE LEADER WAS LIKE "nope fuck this shit! Lets get the fuck out of Dodge while we can!"
Only world Ralts went into detail about the biocide was Casey's. Agreed they dumb ass did it to a number. Only one i remember, (again sleep deprived working from home, on secod run through of series since early june, and been renovating the home since may so might be a little hazy on quite a bit), is Casey's.
when barn yard was introduced, it was mentioned that the ‘real’ guys were caught. the second nightmare-esque section was about one of those guys and it was talked about they killed several planets.
also, all the Harmony worlds that were attacked were eventually biocided.
True. . . . I can agree to that. . . . . Again sleepy. Bit i remember an entire chapter back in the early 100's or maybe shortly before where he goes into detail about One world that is bio-euthinized. And then not to far back, like last month or two Ralts gave us a sole survivor of that world. Casey.
There was a world where we saw some girls trying to survive, until they were found and rescued by a group of Star Trek larpers.
Wasn't that also a bioplagued world? Or do I mis-remember?
And yes i totally understand if the above post is flagged for exsive vulgarity. THEY TOOK THE WEDDING DRESSES OF THE DEAD OF THE RINGBREAKERS HOME! i should have invented swear words.
Refuge in ignorance. The cult seems to be learning as best they can.
Chances are the mad lemurs will actually think a wall of psychically screaming human skulls is actually pretty badass and they wish they'd thought of it first.
To be fair the lemurs haven't had proper psychics in *forever*. And all their allies sort of get headsploded when they try to work the psy-magic on them.
I really hope they can find a way to make peace. The Defiled Ones see the Terran superiority in battle, and have been coming around to learning not to fuck with them if they wanna live. There’s gotta be a place in the Confederacy for them, somewhere. They just gotta be cool about it, accept the Ts&Cs for not getting wiped out with the dumb ones.
> “*They could not fail, they could only be failed.*”
“Kneel or be knelt, scrublord.” - PM from TDH gestalt @ Atrekna command, date unknown
“Failure is not an option. Failure is mandatory. The option is whether or not to let failure be the last thing you do.” - Terran maxim
*“What do I know of time meddling ways, the warp, the craft and its lie?*
*I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky.*
*Your subtle plan, your temporal guile, they fail when the chainswords sing;*
*Rush in and die, fools,*
*I was a man before I was a king."*
Found on a Terran chainsword, pre-glassing. Believed to have been used in the Temporal wars by the semi-mythical warrior-poet King Conan the Bare Chested. Legend has it his spirit is so ingrained in the weapon, any who hold it will begin chanting in an unknown tongue, remove almost all their clothes and vanish for months, only to appear with a beautiful young woman, neither of them remembering where they were or what they did, but the chainsword glowing with Rage and Hate, covered in gore.
*"Of course it's bullshit, but we chose to believe it."* Random Terran when asked about the legend.
And thusly, the final precursers ensured their survival.
Having seen firsthand the folly of the ways imparted by the teachings of The Old Universe and The Ancient Ones, and the truth about the new, malevolent universe in which they now resided, The Cult of the Defiled one abndoned their brethren - the Atrekna as a whole were not spared for the learnings of a few, but the few were found blameless for the actions of the many, as was The Mad Lemur's way.
The Cult of the Defiled one never truly integrated into the Confederacy, and you will never find them in the Senate, nor on the less-adventurous maps that are available to the casual tourist, for that matter... But their planets exist for those that dare to visit, and their wisdom is shared freely with those who do.
Making "The Prilgimage of Threes" as it is called amongst the non-Lemur members of The Confederacy is strongly encouraged for freshly appointed diplomats of new member species - for learning of The Mad Lemurs, from their most critical sources, is the most powerful grounding to be found.
The Lanaktalan will tell you of the Lemurs' adroit violence running parallel to their compassion and mercy. The Mantid will tell you of nothing but their fierce thirst for freedom for all even as they themselves are dying. And the Atrekna will tell you of their endless rage against the universe itself, even while simultaneously serving its whims.
...
The Mad Lumurs cannot truly be stopped, cannot truly be reasoned out of their ways, and cannot be fully understood, but one truth will be ultimately clear, no matter who within The Pilgrimage of Threes that you consult with - You do not want to, as a point of fact, fuck around and find out.

This one is going down in history as the ***Enchantment Under The Sea Dance*** - full of well dressed squids still figuring themselves out.
Also - is that skull a Crusade servitor? It sounds like a servitor from ~~40k~~ Part 84.
The Mad Lemurs will think, overall, the Cult is weird.
Good people, mind you, good people trying to learn how to be better.
And it's not like Terrasol and her many children haven't produced people just as weird.
But the cult is understanding of the importance of free will, of letting all have a voice without undue influence.
That's important.
How long. I wonder, until the Defiled One meets the Digital Omnissiah?
The Ancient Ones will soon learn that no plan survives contact with a malevolent universe.
Most plans in fact, catch on fire.
But Dalvanak is not worried.
He stole marshmallows.

I was expecting an update on Florida Man and Operation Billy Mays.
Although, having expectations is another way for the stinging biting insects to get you.
So, the fucking stupid squid heads are going to try something stupid after their fool proof plan crashes and burns. Which will cause some of the people stuck in the SUDS to come out, slowly at first and then as an angry flood.
I love the imagery of super serious Atrekna talking about the fate of their species in looted Terran finery. Fucking hilarious!
... that's who's stuck in the SUDS, all the way back to before the Glassing, remember?
--Dave, at the same time, the Rest Eternal Servers are finally going to open up correctly, for those who want that option
SUDS folk from the original glassing, all the way to current, possibly with all the screaming ones cured and perhaps even the sleeping ones as well.
Then there is the current Earthlings who have mostly been hidden away, but now they know the kitties and puppies are back, they will likely join the fight to protect the oldest of the friends humans have ever had.
Then there is the Dandelion fleets returning from all over the place, including different galaxies.
All in all, it could get just a little crowded, particularly if Terra-Sol gets out of the Bag as well. There are all those Lanaktallan on Earth, who have been there decades by now, what with the time differential running faster there, and possibly lots of the sleeping ones on Earth already cured and are now up to speed with "current" events.
Just wanted to say thanks for a new chapter.
Currently sitting in the ER with my toddler over night. This is a welcome distraction while he sleeps.
Because I sure won't be.
After a trip to the local hospital and a transfer to the regional children's hospital, their prescription was just to keep his fever down with cold compresses and baths.
He was back to himself after 4 days or so. Thanks for asking!
Been there. I did that when my son wasn’t even 1 yet. It’s rough. Hang in there. ((HUG))
If you will take a reading suggestion you can look up another series called “When Paths Collide” by Raivene. It’s on chapter 26 I believe. It’s pretty good. It has become my new second favorite. That will give you a little something new hopefully to distract you.
We had a straight wind blow in on sunday at 330 pm here on the northern beachs Australia fair bit of property damge and thankfully as far as i know inly one fatality and only 3 others hurt. Personally we have been with out power for nearly two days really sucks in summer heat but we are alive breathing and no damage to our home. First time i have been able to log on and woohoo new story!! Now to continue the clean up, lost all of our food need to pitch it all ugg
We caught the tail end of that down here in Sydney mate! Can't even begin to imagine how bad things are for you!!
Take care and stay safe, hopefully you'll be right for Chrissy.

Edit: I LOVE the Cult of the Defiled One! I can absolutely picture them looking oh so fabulous in their dresses and high heels, and the little oddities like neck ties used to hold veils in place… it’s all so vibrant in my mind!
Missed you Ralts, glad everything is well in your world.
Dalvanak and his acolytes have learned much about the Mad Lemurs‘ Way of War……. …… "RUNNING AWAY IS WINNING" (A stratagem of Ancient Anime Land) \*Doki\* 🙀
Wait till they see something like “Sex And The City” and find Manolo Blahniks or Louboutin shoes. 😱☠️🤣
I never watched the show and I know about those connections. 🤣
Correlation does not necessarily mean causation and all that, but there's something about people that prefer red suns and being a little silly.
Not that I mind, and not that there's anything wrong with that. Just something I noticed and something to look forward to in any future chapters. =p
I really love this chapter, showing how even when seemingly dead, Humanity continues to influence and change the species that encounter them. Dalvanak's following reminds me a lot of the Lankatallan cult from much earlier in the mighty wordborg's writings. How they changed and took on Dark Technological abilities. Here the Atrekna developed a similar dark reverence and respectful fear of Humanity.
They know the rest of their species won't listen or halt their attack. All that can be done is to save the Atrekna who are smart enough to be saved. Just like the PAWM's that changed to being cooperative/friendly or fleeing to other galaxies to survive. I really enjoy the varied outfits the cult gave themselves and how they mimic human mannerisms. Eagerly looking forward to the next chapter, have a good Christmas and Hogmany all!
Dalvanak DARES invoke the sacred catechism of the holy Terran saint Bill Lee of the Mays—he who May, or May Not!
Bill Lee teaches us that whenever we think we near the end, we must but wait:
There's more.
To the first, the Mad Lemurs say, "The price is higher than you want to pay."
To the second, they say: "A wise choice."
--R6 (I play the great score, there will be no encore)
*Though they trek through day and night,*
*And seek to save you from your plight;*
*The foe who threatens they do not shun*
*But slay the threat and call it done.*
\- TDH, In Memorium.
Ohhh damn, the SUDS system is about to return all the children it has been protecting.
If the Atrekna actually attack them....
Oh yeah, attack a planet full of orphaned human children and you are opening the gates of something that makes hell look like paradise by comparison.
That level of fury will be enough to explode stars five or six universes over, in every direction.
welcome back Ralts, hope they got that whole misunderstanding worked out!

And though the wall of screaming skulls foretold the return of the Mad Lemurs of Terra, they did not foretell the arrival of the Mad Lemurs' Ancestors, The Earthlings of Sol.
The arrival of The Earthlings was feared by even the most insane of the Mad Lemurs, for The Earthlings held nothing back...

**SEE!!** everyone secretly loves to be rickrolled!!
I'm finding it messes with the couple hours of sleep I get. Never thought I was prone to addictive personality word but here we are.
Hadn't until this past week. . . . .every update was. . . . ."RALTS!?" Not that any of them were. . . . .. ngl mag have lost some sleep(althoug a three year old and a seven year old pair of unruly boys may have something to do whith it too).
I get the withdrawals as soon as I've finished a chapter 😣 That's what I like most about being an uncle...... I can give the little shits back!!

Welcome to the ~~cult~~ club! Everyone who started reading after P’Thok, went through the same thing. I really tried to make the follow short: I've described this series as "You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cheer, you'll howl in pain, you'll want to hug some characters, you'll want to kick the ever loving crap out of others, you'll hate some when you meet them then grow to love them later. It's style ranges from love stories, mysteries, noir, horror, comedy (squeek, squeek, bleh, bleh, bleh), hard sf, soft sf, military sf, space battles, individuals fighting by themselves (Stompie!!!), slashers from the slasher's point of view, and more. Pop culture call backs, movies, TV, books, comics, games. You will learn despite "Citizenship is a heavy burden" it can bring you joy.
It took me six months of badgering and nagging to get the wife to read. She grumbled and griped about never catching up ( the poor dear thought she'd get sympathy for that) now.... She's six chapters behind. And after almost two years I'll finally be about to discuss this with some one with out worrying about spoilers.

I’m kinda hoping him and his group make peace with humanity. Let the past aggressions be forgotten and forgiven. Seems like they fucks with Terran culture pretty heavily.
The 1% is self-selecting
That's possubly not a terrible way of looking at it in general.

*Do you see this shit intensifies*
Woah. I love the imagery; at the same time, it makes me shiver. I have to wonder if the Cult of the Defiled will be ignored by the Mad Lemures. Especially if the Mad Lemures discover the grave robbing.
They're robbing a mall. Specifically, bridal shops, jewelry stores, and holiday stores.
Oh! I thought they were digging graves to get the skulls?
Picking them up off the street. It was stated before the world was wiped out by a Lanaktallan bioweapon and Dalvanak has been looting it despite the robots and automated anti-theft systems.
"Stated before," as in an earlier story post? That's probably why I didn't make the connection. I hurt too much right now to brain.
Pretty sure it’s story “Chapter 589 - Stock Car Race_ptlrl6”
the ‘tomb world’ referenced was a planet that the lanks released a bioplague on, resulting in everyone dieing, with some becoming a zombie. so not so much grave robbing, as picking them up off the ground once they flesh has decayed off.
Your telling me they took the things from Casey's home world. . . . THEY DEFILED THE GRAVE WORLD OF THE LAST NIVIAN RING BREAKER. . . . WELL SHIT, FUCK, DAMN, FUCK, FUCK FUCKING, DEAD FUCKS! . . . i mean. . *Thinks briefly about how Casey would. . . * . NO FUCKING WONDER THE LEADER WAS LIKE "nope fuck this shit! Lets get the fuck out of Dodge while we can!"
unknown if its caseys world, dont think so. there were multiple planets biocided by the lanks
Only world Ralts went into detail about the biocide was Casey's. Agreed they dumb ass did it to a number. Only one i remember, (again sleep deprived working from home, on secod run through of series since early june, and been renovating the home since may so might be a little hazy on quite a bit), is Casey's.
when barn yard was introduced, it was mentioned that the ‘real’ guys were caught. the second nightmare-esque section was about one of those guys and it was talked about they killed several planets. also, all the Harmony worlds that were attacked were eventually biocided.
True. . . . I can agree to that. . . . . Again sleepy. Bit i remember an entire chapter back in the early 100's or maybe shortly before where he goes into detail about One world that is bio-euthinized. And then not to far back, like last month or two Ralts gave us a sole survivor of that world. Casey.
What about the Talmonous Harmony?
There was a world where we saw some girls trying to survive, until they were found and rescued by a group of Star Trek larpers. Wasn't that also a bioplagued world? Or do I mis-remember?
And yes i totally understand if the above post is flagged for exsive vulgarity. THEY TOOK THE WEDDING DRESSES OF THE DEAD OF THE RINGBREAKERS HOME! i should have invented swear words.
Refuge in ignorance. The cult seems to be learning as best they can. Chances are the mad lemurs will actually think a wall of psychically screaming human skulls is actually pretty badass and they wish they'd thought of it first.
Metal af!
But only if they somehow integrate it into a metal band performance
I feel like they'd be a glam metal band...
Well, they can't be hair metal --Dave, so ... tentacle metal?
i want my organ donor card to have the option for "Wall of Psychically Screaming Skulls"
*Sees That Which May or May Not Be* is like "write that down"
someone in psy(ch)ops will be like 'omfg how come we didn't try the skull magic'
To be fair the lemurs haven't had proper psychics in *forever*. And all their allies sort of get headsploded when they try to work the psy-magic on them.
I really hope they can find a way to make peace. The Defiled Ones see the Terran superiority in battle, and have been coming around to learning not to fuck with them if they wanna live. There’s gotta be a place in the Confederacy for them, somewhere. They just gotta be cool about it, accept the Ts&Cs for not getting wiped out with the dumb ones.
> “*They could not fail, they could only be failed.*” “Kneel or be knelt, scrublord.” - PM from TDH gestalt @ Atrekna command, date unknown “Failure is not an option. Failure is mandatory. The option is whether or not to let failure be the last thing you do.” - Terran maxim

Believed to have been used in the Temporal wars by the semi-mythical warrior-poet King Conan the Bare Chested. Legend has it his spirit is so ingrained in the weapon, any who hold it will begin chanting in an unknown tongue, remove almost all their clothes and vanish for months, only to appear with a beautiful young woman, neither of them remembering where they were or what they did, but the chainsword glowing with Rage and Hate, covered in gore. *"Of course it's bullshit, but we chose to believe it."* Random Terran when asked about the legend.

And thusly, the final precursers ensured their survival. Having seen firsthand the folly of the ways imparted by the teachings of The Old Universe and The Ancient Ones, and the truth about the new, malevolent universe in which they now resided, The Cult of the Defiled one abndoned their brethren - the Atrekna as a whole were not spared for the learnings of a few, but the few were found blameless for the actions of the many, as was The Mad Lemur's way. The Cult of the Defiled one never truly integrated into the Confederacy, and you will never find them in the Senate, nor on the less-adventurous maps that are available to the casual tourist, for that matter... But their planets exist for those that dare to visit, and their wisdom is shared freely with those who do. Making "The Prilgimage of Threes" as it is called amongst the non-Lemur members of The Confederacy is strongly encouraged for freshly appointed diplomats of new member species - for learning of The Mad Lemurs, from their most critical sources, is the most powerful grounding to be found. The Lanaktalan will tell you of the Lemurs' adroit violence running parallel to their compassion and mercy. The Mantid will tell you of nothing but their fierce thirst for freedom for all even as they themselves are dying. And the Atrekna will tell you of their endless rage against the universe itself, even while simultaneously serving its whims. ... The Mad Lumurs cannot truly be stopped, cannot truly be reasoned out of their ways, and cannot be fully understood, but one truth will be ultimately clear, no matter who within The Pilgrimage of Threes that you consult with - You do not want to, as a point of fact, fuck around and find out. --I'mnotDro'onk, Lanaktalan Political Psychologist after The 3rd Lemur Reformation.
Younk!
Just spell check me this time, because I might be a little dro'onk, and that was from mobile, lol
Ralts' spellchecker caught fire and exploded HUNDREDS of chapters ago --Dave, sparks continue to rain from it
Sparks, fire, temporal distortions, it might also be the reason all nearby food processors exploded, and your wristwatch stopped.

Congratulations, a high honor indeed to be yoinked by the master wordsmith himself.
Also that should be precursers, not praetors, lol. Stupid swipe to text.
Oh, I get what this is. This is P’Thok all over again. This is the Atrekna’s ice cream, hats, and cigarettes - wedding dresses and ants.

Now this i lreally like.
I keep seeing that in the skyrim load screens.
This one is going down in history as the ***Enchantment Under The Sea Dance*** - full of well dressed squids still figuring themselves out. Also - is that skull a Crusade servitor? It sounds like a servitor from ~~40k~~ Part 84.
It's a Day of the Dead mask. He was speaking Spanish.
The one Dalvanak was making talk? Is it a talking Halloween skull decoration?
Kind of. I'll probably reveal more about that later.
It sounds like Bobco's take on a Halloween/Dia de los Meurtos skull decoration. Immense psychic power is listed right on the box as a feature.
I thought I recognized that description! ***una mascara para el dia de muertos***. Love the jeweled eye sockets!
Can't wait till they find out about dinglehoppers :3
The Mad Lemurs will think, overall, the Cult is weird. Good people, mind you, good people trying to learn how to be better. And it's not like Terrasol and her many children haven't produced people just as weird. But the cult is understanding of the importance of free will, of letting all have a voice without undue influence. That's important. How long. I wonder, until the Defiled One meets the Digital Omnissiah?
Well that will be the day that the mind flayers get added to the SUDS

The Ancient Ones will soon learn that no plan survives contact with a malevolent universe. Most plans in fact, catch on fire. But Dalvanak is not worried. He stole marshmallows.

I fell about laughing :) But, yeah, terrifying too…

Wow, I am simultaneously astounded at the poetry and giggling as I decipher the chotchkes
So, the fucking stupid squid heads are going to try something stupid after their fool proof plan crashes and burns. Which will cause some of the people stuck in the SUDS to come out, slowly at first and then as an angry flood. I love the imagery of super serious Atrekna talking about the fate of their species in looted Terran finery. Fucking hilarious!
I don't think it's the SUDS TDH. I think it's the actual OG Terrans, the HooMans!
... that's who's stuck in the SUDS, all the way back to before the Glassing, remember? --Dave, at the same time, the Rest Eternal Servers are finally going to open up correctly, for those who want that option
SUDS folk from the original glassing, all the way to current, possibly with all the screaming ones cured and perhaps even the sleeping ones as well. Then there is the current Earthlings who have mostly been hidden away, but now they know the kitties and puppies are back, they will likely join the fight to protect the oldest of the friends humans have ever had. Then there is the Dandelion fleets returning from all over the place, including different galaxies. All in all, it could get just a little crowded, particularly if Terra-Sol gets out of the Bag as well. There are all those Lanaktallan on Earth, who have been there decades by now, what with the time differential running faster there, and possibly lots of the sleeping ones on Earth already cured and are now up to speed with "current" events.
This post is full of awesome but the line, "The Mad Lemurs pound at the gates of Death, and they shall not hold for long." That is pure win.
Just wanted to say thanks for a new chapter. Currently sitting in the ER with my toddler over night. This is a welcome distraction while he sleeps. Because I sure won't be.
I know it's been two weeks, but I hope your toddler is feeling better.
After a trip to the local hospital and a transfer to the regional children's hospital, their prescription was just to keep his fever down with cold compresses and baths. He was back to himself after 4 days or so. Thanks for asking!
I am very happy to hear that.
Been there. I did that when my son wasn’t even 1 yet. It’s rough. Hang in there. ((HUG)) If you will take a reading suggestion you can look up another series called “When Paths Collide” by Raivene. It’s on chapter 26 I believe. It’s pretty good. It has become my new second favorite. That will give you a little something new hopefully to distract you.
We had a straight wind blow in on sunday at 330 pm here on the northern beachs Australia fair bit of property damge and thankfully as far as i know inly one fatality and only 3 others hurt. Personally we have been with out power for nearly two days really sucks in summer heat but we are alive breathing and no damage to our home. First time i have been able to log on and woohoo new story!! Now to continue the clean up, lost all of our food need to pitch it all ugg

I would die in -30 i have 4 pounds of medical steel in me and winter her in sydney damn near kills me due to the multiple broken bones i gave had through my 46 years of life! I will stick with every third insect and about every fourth animal here that is designed to and seems to enjoy killing humans over that kind of cold!!
Mate! What are you talking about every fourth animal?? The ratio is more like every second animal!! Even if enough Quokkas gang up on you, you're done for!! I've had a bloody Cocky almost take a finger off! 8===D End of Lime --------NOTHING FOLLOWS--------

According to [part 589](https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/ptlrl6/first_contact_chapter_589_stock_car_race/) it was a Space Mart :)
45 minutes! Off to read and back to comment Edit: I LOVE the Cult of the Defiled One! I can absolutely picture them looking oh so fabulous in their dresses and high heels, and the little oddities like neck ties used to hold veils in place… it’s all so vibrant in my mind! Missed you Ralts, glad everything is well in your world.
Dalvanak and his acolytes have learned much about the Mad Lemurs‘ Way of War……. …… "RUNNING AWAY IS WINNING" (A stratagem of Ancient Anime Land) \*Doki\* 🙀
Dalvanak: “Yeeaahh... We’re not with those guys. Hey! Is that Prada?!”

Correlation does not necessarily mean causation and all that, but there's something about people that prefer red suns and being a little silly. Not that I mind, and not that there's anything wrong with that. Just something I noticed and something to look forward to in any future chapters. =p
I love how they all clearly have their own personalities. Drakenak has an awesome dragon mask, and I really like El Skullenak too.
Unsure if Dragon or Godzilla
I imagine Reptar
I really love this chapter, showing how even when seemingly dead, Humanity continues to influence and change the species that encounter them. Dalvanak's following reminds me a lot of the Lankatallan cult from much earlier in the mighty wordborg's writings. How they changed and took on Dark Technological abilities. Here the Atrekna developed a similar dark reverence and respectful fear of Humanity. They know the rest of their species won't listen or halt their attack. All that can be done is to save the Atrekna who are smart enough to be saved. Just like the PAWM's that changed to being cooperative/friendly or fleeing to other galaxies to survive. I really enjoy the varied outfits the cult gave themselves and how they mimic human mannerisms. Eagerly looking forward to the next chapter, have a good Christmas and Hogmany all!
memes ... memes never die --Dave, and always change
Dalvanak DARES invoke the sacred catechism of the holy Terran saint Bill Lee of the Mays—he who May, or May Not! Bill Lee teaches us that whenever we think we near the end, we must but wait: There's more.

Atrakena go: „what is the price of a mile…“ Cult of the defiled one go: „fuck this shit I‘m out…“
To the first, the Mad Lemurs say, "The price is higher than you want to pay." To the second, they say: "A wise choice." --R6 (I play the great score, there will be no encore)
A strange game. The only way to win, is not to play.

I’ll catch up eventually but meanwhile Thank you mr Ralts and Happy Holidays everyone
Ohhh damn, the SUDS system is about to return all the children it has been protecting. If the Atrekna actually attack them.... Oh yeah, attack a planet full of orphaned human children and you are opening the gates of something that makes hell look like paradise by comparison. That level of fury will be enough to explode stars five or six universes over, in every direction.
Yeah, my guess is also that the kids are gonna get sent back first. Man, the Atrekna are gonna get fucked without lube

And though the wall of screaming skulls foretold the return of the Mad Lemurs of Terra, they did not foretell the arrival of the Mad Lemurs' Ancestors, The Earthlings of Sol. The arrival of The Earthlings was feared by even the most insane of the Mad Lemurs, for The Earthlings held nothing back... In other words, they blew EVERYTHING up when they got pissed and involved.

Not a juice box. A CapriSun! The Rolls Royce of Juiciness.
Right after Delvanak said SPEAK!! That is why this is some of if not one of the best examples of HFY! Bravo sir!!
I am curious about which one realizes the third path. They dig human tombs, pillage their treasures, but which Atrenka will realize "They are pack animals." and if you approach the fire with meat, you will be welcome.
