The Forge of Babel (Temporarily closed, accepting rare materials)

Dumb

Soundbust11 noticing the satisfactory from you,Dasha #2 toss her cup of coffee at the smoky figure,which seems more surprised by the action than actually affected by it "Looks like the demo is over,you can stop now smoky boy" "...stop?...." "yes,or i won't give you the cup of cocoa" "......" the smoky figure dropped its blade,which hovers about one inch from the floor,it then accepted a cup of hot cocoa from Dasha #2 and happily sit on top of the blade,sipping the cup of cocoa. "So.....how do you want the blades to be packed?" asked by Dasha #1 as she is eating a bag of chips quietly

Soundbust11

Dumb
The woman turns her attention back to #1
...Packed? You mean transported?
...Also, will they all be sentient?

Dumb

Soundbust11 Dasha #2 impatiently wait as the discussion carries on "if theres nothing for me here,ima go do my stuff then" "sure thing,cya when i get my next deal" "remember,its my next deal" ".....fine". Meanwhile,the smoky figure seemed puzzled by the vocabulary "sen..tient?" "oh,shes asking if the other blades can form smoky boys like you here" "....correct,other blades....sentient...." "hmm.....well then we probably can't just wrap all the blades in one bundle and toss it up your transport
......mind if you just let the blades walk up to your transport instead?"

Soundbust11

Dumb
...I suppose that's acceptable, though there is one complication.
To smokey boy. Do you... get along well with the other blades?

Dumb

Soundbust11 "....?" "ahh,for that matter,although every 'smoky boy' here
is technically smart enough to comprehend what we say,they do not have any 'default' personality before communicating and 'growing up' with anything,so getting along together shouldn't be much of a problem"

Soundbust11

Dumb
Excellent. One person will be wielding 8 after all. Said very matter-of-factly.
When will the full batch be finished?

Dumb

Soundbust11 "well all the long blades had been finished when we even contacr you,and just now,with the time spent chatting and demonstrating,the shorter blades are also finished,the full batch is presumably located in the hanger right now,assuming other Dasha's intel is correct"

Soundbust11

Dumb
Perfect, I do beleive everything is in order then. If you could deliver the blades to our freighter that would be excellent.
The woman offers her hand. You've been an exceptional service, and you're likely to hear from us again. Hopefully in less secrecy.

Dumb

Soundbust11 Dasha accept the handshake,but her smile seemed to be abit too playful for such official exchange "nah,just tell the blades to walk up the freighter,i won't dare interfere or influence any sentient tool that we had made for our customers" and with the next blinking of your eyes,you found yourself in the hanger,with a bunch of smoky figures, 40 figures to be exact,but 10 of them seemed to be shorter than others,all are facing you,awaiting orders......

Dumb

Soundbust11

Dumb as the signal of the freighter prolongs in its hanger,Dasha decide to take a look at whats happening,only to find a weird parade of shadowy figures marching around in non-uniform pattern while the visitor just stand there without any movement ".....hello?" Dasha attempts to ask the visitor about whats going on,but whatever happened must've shut down the visitor's senses,as no respond came through as Dasha tries every method to stimulate her senses....... after a while,Dasha give up on hailing the visitor,and turns to stop the anomalous parade while also refining their vocabulary.....

Soundbust11

Dumb
The figures are organised and marched onto the Unknowable Tradesman. While taking off, the shields remain on in case of debris-related incidents. As it prepares its FTL, a signal exits the ship at considerable speeds, before both disappear.

Soundbust11

Dumb
(is this important, or you just saying "where tf u at?"?)

Dumb

Soundbust11 (the latter)

Dumb

Dasha yawned as she watch her first customer departs "....well let see what i can do while waiting for the next deal then....." she once again entered her own pocket dimension,leaving the forge in complete silence......

Dumb

The Forge of Babel has disappeared......well not exactly "disappeared" disappeared,but in the system where the forge could be found,the forge,along with planet "Zaneroto",is no longer situated there,while all other planets and planetoids in the same system are reduced into patches of dust……

Soundbust11

@Dumb
Just as it had left not too long ago, the VSA Unknowable Tradesman Switches back into the system. Still clad in its unceremonious Black and Grey, the hulking slab of Pack-Steel slowly advances into the system.

//Transmission Start//
"VSA Unknowable Tradesman to the Forge of Babel, hello again. High command was very pleased with the results last time, and have already deemed it necessary to order the next batch. Not quite as much as last time, but with a few newer materials to play with."

The scan data of the system comes in

"Uhh... Did something happen here?"
//Transmission End//

Dumb

Soundbust11 as if its a coincidence,a wooden board just happened to float towards the ship's main bridge and perfectly stick onto the window,words begin to magically seeps out of the wooden board,forming message...or rather,the response
Thank you for visiting the Forge of Babel once again,its been a pleasure to serve. In regards to some......recent event, our location has moved to the outer rim of the Redford Republic Capital System, don't worry,our stance remains independent and if you wanted to trade anonymously, we suggest you approach while carrying this board, which prohibits inquisition of your origin by the Redford Republic

Soundbust11

Dumb
"Um... okay? You there, dispatch a drone to retrieve the board. Chart a course for the Redford Republic. High command will not wait forever."

The colossal trading vessel switches out once again.

Dumb

Soundbust11 @BattleCruiserCommander soon, they arrive at the Redford Capital system, in contrast to the blazing traffic between the inner planets, the furthest planet, which bizzarely able to maintain a habitable biosphere with how far they are from the system's sun, along with its partially malformed moon, is almost neglected as if it's emitting some bad aura of sorts

BattleCruiserCommander

Dumb Large defensive forces mount from Redford's large defensive fleet, as they now head to the intruders of their system.
