In fact, the Cradle rose from underneath a sizeable layer of earth, upon which had grown a respectable forest.
300 years is a long time, but not, I think, that long. At least, not without some outside intervention. Which also brings up the question of why it got abandoned in the first place. No more power source or something? |

Either that, or a systemic wipe from collective memory as they hated the Belka for the war. I used this as a basis for the Belka marginalization concepts as well as portaryals of racism in my works. Or so I think.

Perfectly fine thankyou. Been good for my internets

I can say one thing though... If that was Graham at the end I am going to ask you politely to reconsider his rank of admiral... Quote:
Well I guess it works in a weird round about way.......... Tweaking the story line to have Carim be the major sponsor behind RF6 would be one way to have Hayate indebeted to her while not deviating too far from canon as Carim is already one of the major backers along with Chrono and a few others that I can't remember from ep 11 or so of Strikers.. Although I am literally a hands width away from yelling out DOES NOT COMPUTE By all means continue...... Just as long as it doesn't get too weird.. Quote:

I don't think I actually commented on that plan, but you have to admit that at the beginning the flak that it got was due to a lack of detail in the suggestion (how she would be getting to such a point that genki nanoha becomes emo nanoha..) Once you had laid out the framework as to how it actually happened I didn't really have a major problem with it. Plus as you've no doubt noticed Ark's only a guest to the thread, only commenting on things that catch his eye among the things that fly around in here. If you really want him to comment on it, you'll have a better chance by pm so he actually knows it's there.. For all that we know, he never saw the thing. All I can say to you and Kagerou is to not give a damm about us/the thread and just write it. Who knows, the naysayers might actually like the thing. |

...Or the king ordered the cradle to be buried since it was an instrument of war, also a lost logia... And i think the belkans were quite fed up with both war and lost logias No one said that the war that destroyed belka didn't affect anyone else, perhaps other civilizations were also severely affected by the war (innocent bystanders, collateral damage), hence only little information would be left of ancient belka...

Kha's got the idea fine but aside from short memories, wouldn't the tech available to them at least let them record something? It does smell of greater hands at work to keep the information secret, something like the brains or their predecessors might have done.

Nothing new for the OC thread, but I whipped up the start to a new fic idea that struck me today with just CC's. It's in the FF thread if anyone's interested, not much point posting it here since it's not really relevant. Oh and Aaron, you might want to stay away from this one.... the idea that I had isn't the most pleasant for Hayate.. |

I'm afraid I'll actually have to give Kha & co. supporting/cameo/minor roles in this... simply because I'm not familliar with them I will say this though: Kha's appearence in DT will be brief. But the effects are not insignificant.... ....let's just say that it kills all NxF and leave it at that. Quote:
Anyway, let's just agree to drop the matter. (From the writer standpoint, I understand COMPLETELY the possibilities. Just saying that for the record.) Regards the Cradle, my take on it: Al-Hazard spanned all over the place. Belkans found the Cradle, rebuilt it, refitted the OS to speak Belkan, and used it in a first strike on Mid. (Presumably.) However, things went wrong and the Cradle made a controlled crash landing (lol oxymoron) and was then hidden by the Belkans in preparation for incase shit hit the fan an eventually was forgotten. Senario 2: fleeing from some sorta fuckup, te Cradle deposits Belkan refugees in what later becomes the Belkan SAR. Once done, the command crew crash land the Cradle into a promising location, and then hide it with eath and stuff; the idea is that should the refugees be opressed the Cradle will rise. Belkans are not opressed by Mids, the cradle is left alone and forgotten.

Makes sense after taking into account New Belka being part of Midchilda society, and then with the now vanished Old English Brittanica race made by USB, plus the various protocultures of European-descent X and I have been throwing around. Quote:
This was exactly what I thought of Vivio's last stand during the "Planet Belk" days. Returning to a piece of the drawing board on Seven Swords, plus making a few adjustments for new data: "Lost logia rampage" could be stemming from a crucial event where a Lost Logia was activated. I'm sure the cocoon of a Necron Star God, according to Lowe's brilliant work in that area, looks like a mighty weapon of war, something the vanquished Alhazredians called the "Eye of God". Activating that brought the Wanderer (an OC-created Star God for CrosyS) into the Nanohaverse for the first time. Only then did the AB realize that the Pariah gene, and the many Monoliths scattered throughout Megiddo, were all part of a long-coming plan by the Wanderer and his kind. The Belka fought back, using whatever arsenal they had, even invoking Hammerdown Policy of nuking whole planets to pieces just to stop the Necronic advance. That alone when done in enough excess, especially if the Pariahs played up the Ancient Belka's tendencies to go overboard in purification, would be enough to swear everyone off conventionals. And so the war drags out... And Seven Swords progresses... In the end, the Belka won, at great cost. Having lured Wanderer to Capitalis Belka, Vivio and the last of the truely badass cleric-knights stood against the crush of the Pariah and their Necron allies as the Imperial Guard evacuated any civilian stragglers into the Cradle. The potent trap was laid at their feet, with themselves as bait. The Cradle was to do Vivio's last command, to make a blind warp towards a refuge planet, then teleport its precious cargo to safety. She chose Midchilda, the home planet of the Lord she could not have, the world her family had fought for generations, and yet was the world she died fighting for. While we shall leave the details of that last stand to another time, what happened on Midchilda was: Cradle made the warp jump successfully, but ended up several strata underground, with the brunt of its armor and shields taking the sudden impact of teleporting into bedrock. It then performed its second command with the last of its mana reserves, and teleported all refugees packed into the transport chamber onto the desert surface. After that, self-protection systems, including signal camoflage, kicked in and the Cradle sealed itself into history. As such, not only does no one know where the Cradle is exactly, the Cradle thus ended up several soil strata below ground! A perfectly elegant answer, if I do say so myself. The only problem then arises from whether Capitalis Belka was on another planet in the first place. Quote:

As for other evacuees, those who had Ancient Belka skills either died out over the years, or were erased from the face of the world having been picked up by Celestial Being. Quote:
Let's just quote from Tales of the Past here: "Destroying such a magical artefact will release a lot of arcane energy at once." ~Jaina Proudmoore Let's just say Kha found that out the hard way while fighting Clotho... So if it were Vivio...

Question, since I know no German:
Would it be a safe assumption that there have been no significant linguistic shifts in the Belka language from the time of Ancient Belka to present day? I'm basing this on the "Belka" German spoken by the automated systems on the Cradle. |
