—Takanuva just looks at Roy with a frown—
@Roy: Even if our ship isn't in danger, there's a whole town of innocent villagers sitting right in the path of the castle! If that spaceship they have under the castle doesn't kill the guards should it awake, Great Beings bless that happening, then the town is directly in its sights! And I will not let innocents die if I can help it!
—Takanuva storms off over to one of the vans, then stops, looking back at the others—
@Team: Are we going to sit around like a pack of kinkanolo or are we going to save some people from dying? We are a Queen's bodyguards, and we must protect her charges, should we not?
'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.—Takanuva pauses his march and follows Six to Ruspin and Valir—
@Six and Ruspin: Didn't miss Valir say that they moved the meteor underneath the castle earlier? If that's true, then going by Asagi's assumption it was a spaceship, that means there's a dormant spaceship lying right underneath Valir's castle. We just didn't look around for it or at it because we didn't know about it, right?
@Valir: Miss, did you say that you moved the meteor underneath your fort?
'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.Six: -to Valir- That might be the best idea. Put it somewhere where any outbreaks can be contained.
In the meanwhile, we can do what you asked.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Asagi: Her majesty does have a point. Drones used to gauge areas while you're in a remote location wouldn't be the most unlikely thing in the world.
-She notably doesn't talk about the meteor's specific location since she doesn't want to appear like she's ordering around a queen in front of her own people-
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)—Takanuva takes a deep breath, and sighs. At least now the threat can be isolated from any innocent villagers—
@Valir: Thank you, Miss Valir.
—Takanuva looks at Roy—
@Roy: My duty as a Toa is to protect those who cannot protect themselves. If that ship had activated and gone on a rampage on the village, who do you think I would hold responsible? Not you, but me. I'm not angry that we discovered this, I'm angry that we hadn't done something until Six suggested it be moved to an isolated location, where even if it activated, nobody would get hurt. Can you understand why I was on edge now?

'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.Mercuria:-Sighs as she goes to check out the robot, even knowing she's only barely fit to look at this shit-
Just sod off, you self-righteous mechanized knight. Do you really think any of us were not worried about the ramifications of this event? Even if we could reach that strange supposed vehicle on foot, what would we do? Smash it to pieces? Just to protect your crush?
Let this country take care for its safety. We're making sure a war doesn't break out over this, and I don't have time for your sermonizing.
-And as she finishes this, she tries to inspect the robot they just trashed-

Valir: I do.
(She clears her throat.)
Valir: I'll send the robot to Amris, where you'll investigate it, while we move the very... Very large ship to a safer location. These... Er, "negotiations", helped. I'll tell the news that I'm not going to war, with anyone. Although I fear there will be a war. Just not of anyone this world is familiar with.
(The robot looks trashed, with a few panels here and there.)

Asagi: Understood.
-She gives a bow of respect and gratitude-
-Mercuria, being single-minded when it comes to her job, is more than ready to start taking apart that robot here and now...but after hearing it's going to be shipped, she just barely stops herself as she walks away from the wreckage-
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)—Takanuva rubs his chin, pensive—
@Six: I would think it best to do as Miss Valor said and trace back the machine to its origin. That way we destroy the source of the machines. And, I'm sorry if I stepped out of line Six. It's just...my village was lost while I was on a quest. I didn't want to lose a village like I did Ta-koro, even if it's one of strangers.
'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.Six: I can understand that, but panicing solves nothing. Only realistic way we could have destroyed it would be by planting explosives on the reactor. That necessitates going inside it. And even then doing that while it's inside a castle isn't the best idea.
If that thing woke up while we were out, there wouldn't be anything we could do unless we had access to anti-ship munitions. And there's plenty it could do to us if we try to fight it on the ground.
Next time, exercise your brain. The fearless hero gets zapped. The smart hero wins.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."—Takanuva snickers a little at Six's wisdom—
@Six: For a moment there you sounded like Turaga Vakama. Now I know what it feels like when Tahu gets scolded.
—Takanuva smiles a little—
@Six: Thank you six. I'll try to keep that in mind in the future.

@Hastur Albert: "I quit drinking cold...Again."
Will make dad jokes for friends.
