This roleplay is being hosted by myself and Superior Kunivas.

 

This is the sign-up thread (and yes, we are still accepting new players!), whereas the actual RP thread is here: http://kh13.com/forum/topic/93574-ashes-of-a-fallen-empire-rp/ .  Note: we are currently only accepting new players for the Seraphim Order or New Empire.

 

A year has passed since the fall of the Korbenic Empire.  A war had been waged between the empire and its rebels, promoted by surrounding territories free from the empire’s reign.  The late emperor, Korben, sought to create a world filled with law, rule, and justice, but at the cost of so many lives.  Those deemed inferior were slaughtered or experimented upon, and magic by birth was considered a curse rather than a blessing.  Elves and those possessing magic were raided and slaughtered, or brought into the imperial labs for experimentation.  The world had already been faltering, and it only plummeted further at the development of tanzynite: a chemical substance produced by imperial labs that had the power to sustain one’s life, augment their abilities or create them, or, in some cases of prolonged use, kill.  The dawn of the Korbenic Era was one filled with oppression, blood, and poverty; the world cried for this tyrant to reach his demise, a calling to which was answered.

 

Eclaire Tonnerre, ex-general of the Empire, organized and orchestrated the Order of Lux to battle the Korbenic Empire.  She was a brave warrior who fought for true peace and justice, wishing to recreate the government into a republic rather than an empire.  Unfortunately her army was weakened during the war, and traitors lived within her midst that she was not privy to.  Now she resides with a smaller group than before, her kingdom and order being taken over a rebellion follower, Yevgeni Malachite.  While the empire had indeed fallen, a new world power came to take its place.  Oryx, a god of power, seized the Korbenic Empire and sits upon what once was Korben’s throne, his rule hardly any better than that of the late empire.  The war, however, has left the world in ashes, a state worse than it had been before.  Langerdon, a city once flourished, now is trying to recover from the war that devastated them a year ago, though they are not succeeding well.

You may choose a character from either the New Empire or Yevgeni’s rebellion called The Seraphim Order.  There are many races available for you to choose from, though I request that no new divine deities are created to prevent power-creep from occurring.  Your world is a dying one filled with chaos after a devastating war, and, while technology was once at its prime in this futuristic era, very little of it is left in working order after the damage that had been done.

 

1: No Godmodding/Meta-Gaming.  This includes controlling another person’s character under ANY circumstances.

2: All KH13 RPing rules are in effect here.

3: There is no character limit, but I would request that you only take as many characters that you feel you can properly handle.

4: If any rules are broken, you will be given a warning.  Should you break them again, and under the same violation, you will be asked to leave the RP.

5: Feel free to contribute to the story. This is an RP, after all. : )  However, I would ask that you do not dominate the entire plot or massively change the direction in which all players are going without prior approval.  A good example of this would be to make a character use unearthly powers to just terrorize and distract all characters, making their initial goals impossible.  This is destructive behavior, and in doing so I will issue you a warning.  There’s a difference between contributing to a plot and dominating one.

6: Keep everything PG-13, including violence, romance, language, and all that good stuff.  This includes themes as well as explicit content.  If it’s something that you won’t see in a PG-13 movie because it’s considered inappropriate in content or visualization, don’t do it.

7: For non-human races, you can pick practically anything you please.  Be creative!  However, please be mindful of over-powered characters.  I’m no longer accepting any new divine deities, as we already have plenty.

8: You may choose from the tanzynite list provided should your character desire them.  However, you may request custom tanzynites be made via PM and I shall evaluate them.

9: Auto-hitting and mass slaughter are highly restricted here.  Auto-hitting is when your character lands a strike in combat without prior approval from the other player or RP host.  Mass slaughter cannot be done on a whim, only if asked for and we shall evaluate.
To ensure that you’ve read the rules, please state your favorite color below your character sheet.

10: For those of you who will be continuing with the same characters from Tainted Blood, please copy-paste your character sheet with a revised biography reflecting what happened over the past year, as well as their role in Tainted Blood.  I will be more lenient toward existing characters pertaining weapon limits, magic, et cetera, but any new characters must strictly abide by the rules.

To show that you've read the rules, please state your favorite color below your character sheet.

 

Tanzynite options (instigator):

 

Electro Bolt: "Feel like the Thunder God himself! Electro Bolt will let you fire off bolts of Electricity at will! Warning: Water and Lightning don't mix." With this chemical compound, you can fire Electricity/Lightning from your hands, be it in bursts, a constant stream or a simple jolt. Manifestation: Blue Energy courses through the users veins, along with Electricity coursing around the users body occasionally on its own or at the will of the user.

 

Satan's Touch: "Feel the heat! Satan's Touch will cause you to be able to wreathe whatever you want in Flames! Warning: Fire spreads." This chemical compound will allow you to light anything on fire with Fireballs, Flamethrowing, Fire Breath and allows you to heat anything you touch with your Body Heat. Manifestation: Severe burns on the user's body along with a visible, pulsing and glowing orange heat underneath the body of the user, Irises glow Orange too and Fire seems to be burning inside, ready to be unleashed.

 

Sting of Winter: "Feel the chill in your bones! Sting of Winter gives you Icy Powers to freeze your enemies! Multi-Purpose Capabilities Guaranteed." This chemical compound grants the ability to freeze your enemies, water and other objects. It can also be shaped into Armour and Icy Spikes can be extended from your hands to make yourself a Cryo-Weapon. Manifestation: Permafrost covers body, with the hands having Ice Burns along with small Icicles/Spikes protruding from the skin (Yes, they have blood in them) which can be extended. An Icy Mist emanates from the user and when Armoured and/or using the Icicles as weapons, more ice and burns cover the user.

 

Flash Flood: "Go with the flow! Flash Flood can wash away your enemies! Warning: Water's stronger than you may think." This chemical compound allows you to assail your enemies with Waves of Water to push them away, High-Pressure Jets to wear away at them, mildly telekinetically suspended in the air Bubbles filled with water that can either explode to shower opposition or encase opponents in it to drown them, wear down their limbs or be exploded out of them to weaken and surprise them. Manifestation: Water courses and drips down the users hands but it can be contained around the hands and manipulated for effect, mutations similar to suction cups and barnacles on an Octopus form on the hands and condensation emits from their body.

 

Cyclonic Rush: "Stand firm against the breeze! Cyclonic Rush will blow your enemies away! Warning: Wind does more than push." This chemical compound will let you blow away enemies with Gusts of Wind. It can also allow formation of Mini-Cyclones or Tornadoes to cause major damage. You can also breathe strong air currents from your mouth that can be sustained as long as you can exhale and all wind effects can cause Wind Erosion on a quickened scale, which is particularly painful to enemies. Manifestation: Wind currents circulate around users arms and hands while veins pulse with White Energy, clothing and hair is in a constant Windswept effect due to internal winds blowing.

 

Telekinesis: "Steel your mind! Telekinesis is as blunt as it gets, allowing you to pick up and throw objects with your mind!" This chemical compound allows you to use the Psychic Energy/Potential in your mind to use Psychokinesis/Telekinesis to levitate and throw objects at whim. However, it can also be used to assault the minds of Weak-Willed people, incapacitating them. You can also read minds, but to a limited extent. Manifestation: The force used is visible, but no other discernible effect is present externally on the user. Internally, brainwaves and MRI Readings are radically different from a normal brain.

 

Blinding Light: "Shine amongst the stars! Blinding Light gives you control over the Light to blind your enemies! Warning: It can also burn." This chemical compound allows you to control the Light Element of the Universe to blind, scorch or otherwise impede your enemies with what basically amounts to Pure Energy. Burning Beams can be fired straight from the hands when the power is charged up. Manifestation: Pure Energy courses through the users veins, pulsating at all times. The users hands are crackling with power while the scorching effects of the Light leave blackened burns on the some parts of the skin and visible cracks and tears in the arms produce light as the body attempts to contain it all within.

 

Smothering Darkness: "Cast your enemies into the Shadows! Smothering Darkness lets you control the Darkness and Shadows to assault your enemies! Warning: Power corrupts." This chemical compound allows you to control the Darkness Element of the Universe to smother, corrupt, hurt or otherwise make your opponent suffer with the Shadows themselves or the literal Darkness that resides in everything, including yourself. Shadow Orbs can be created and thrown to explode on impact when the power is charged up. Manifestation: Dark Purple Energy courses through the users veins, softly and slowly pulsating at all times. The users hands are swathed in Dark Mist while the corrupting effects darken the skin on the hands and arms and the skin is flaking off while Dark Tendrils are latching to the skin like parasites. Visible cracks and tears in the arms produce Darkness as the body attempts to contain it all within.

 

Pack-A-Punch: "Feel the power coursing through your muscles! Pack-A-Punch allows you to push boulders and punch walls! Warning: Don't strain yourself." This chemical compound increases your strength greatly, increasing Muscle Mass to 4x their normal mass, allowing for harder punches and kicks along with the ability to lift up heavy objects and even throw them. Manifestation: Bigger, evenly distributed muscles throughout the body, all veins are more pronounced and occasionally a green, glowing fluid flows through them.

 

Rocky Road: "Make the Earth tremble at your step! Rocky Road allows you to shake up the place and throw rocks! Warning: Rocks are hard." This chemical compound allows you to control the Earth Elements to shake the ground with Earthquakes, raise Rock Pillars, throw Rocks, split the ground open and toughen yourself up with Earthy Armour. Manifestation: Hands and forearms are entirely covered in a thick rock cover but still have full mobility, small stones form on the upper arm and the users voice becomes Earthy.

 

 

Tanzynite tonics:

 

Scamper Speed: This Tonic allows the user to run 2x faster than the average person, also allowing them to run for longer, but the user would be at risk of overheating like a Cheetah if they run for too long. Has no manifestation.

 

Chameleon: This Tonic allows the user to become invisible to the naked eye when they stand still for a period of time. It activates after 5 seconds of standing still. It cannot be used when moving. Manifestation is quite evident.

 

Tough Guy/Girl: This Tonic toughens the user up, allowing them to soak up a more damage than a normal person before weakening, dying etc. Has no manifestation.

Brains and Brains: This Tonic increases the users intelligence and their ability to tinker with things. Has no manifestation.

 

Houdini: This Tonic allows the user to teleport at will. Manifestation: Only appears when teleporting, all veins and irises turn red before the user disappears in a flurry of Rose Petals and Red Mist.

 

Enduring Bolt: This Tonic boosts the stamina of the user, allowing them to run longer, fight longer and exercise longer. Has no manifestation.

 

Night Piercer: This Tonic allows the user to see in the Dark of Night more effectively, works as organic Night Vision Goggles. Manifestation: Eyes glow Night Vision Green when active.

 

Animal Instinct: This Tonic allows the user to sense nearby organics, regardless of species unless they are Demons or Angels. Has no manifestation.

 

Gymnastic Expert: This Tonic grants the user enhanced flexibility and mobility, allowing them to move more fluidly, flip and slink into tight spaces. Has no manifestation.

 

Experimental Tanzynite (not for everyone--only one each available, and must receive prior approval before use):

 

 

Experimental Strength Compound - Codename "Venom": This Instigator-Class Chemical was in development by order of the Emperor himself as he wanted Super-Human enforcers with the strength to topple any opposition. It derives partially from the Pack-A-Punch Chemical in concept but strength would be increased to a far greater level than that chemical can offer and makes the subject far more bulky, but requires a Injector System/Harness mounted to the subject to keep the chemical flowing and in effect. It is also far more addictive than average compounds, with the withdrawal symptoms often being so severe that they result in death. Initial tests on human subjects often resulted in death, be it from Cardiac Arrest or their Hearts flat out exploding from the pressure and rush of bodily chemicals and the chemical itself. It was only after one Subject survived and subsequently broke out that they had enough results to make a stable compound. However, the escapee stole all research notes and all samples of the fluid, learned how to produce more and perfect it and has since sold it in the Black Market in the Criminal Underworld. Manifestation: Users are often Seven-Feet Tall, with large muscles, facial scarring, heavily pronounced veins and green glowing fluid frequently flowing through them. Behaviour is often far more aggressive but intelligence is not dampened.

 

Experimental Strength Compound - Codename "TN-1" (Taken by Scrap's planned character backstory.) : This Instigator-Class Chemical is currently in the testing phases under the eye of the man who escaped Venom Testing with the compound and is currently trying to improve it and remove its addictive qualities while at the same time creating a "Super-Venom". initial tests made have shown promise, a more permanent transformation of grotesque proportions, with subjects growing to 10 Feet in height, their muscles expanding massively and their strength great enough to blast through a platoon of enemies while shrugging off bullets. As it is in testing phases, there are problems. While the subject is bulletproof and insanely strong, they are not invincible as the full effect takes 10 minutes or more to take effect and usage damages the Memory Centres of the Brain, causing Memory Loss and Brain Damage. Intelligence is dampened as the user roars and is reduced to Hulk Speak and is very single minded, but usually makes up for it in brute strength and it does not require the Harness from Venom. Manifestation: Gargantuan Muscle Growth, greatly pronounced veins with the same green glowing fluid flowing, covered in a green and black mist, eyes glow white-green and temperament is greatly compromised.

 

Experimental DNA Bonding Compound - Demonic DNA - Codename: "Devil's Blood" (Taken by Mystics Apprentice.): In an attempt to harness the great power Elder Demons, or "Devils" as they are nicknamed, the Emperor captured an Elder Demon and took a sample of its DNA to his scientists to bond it to subjects in order to give his Guards more power, maybe even himself if successful. The bonding process was initially a disaster, Subjects being literally torn apart as the Devil Cells destroyed their Cells, making it impossible to create a Viable Life Form. However, in a last gambit, they attempted to create another cell to stabilize the Devil Cell into co-operating with the Subject's Cells and merging with them, called "GENOCELL". This artificial cell was mixed into the compound and injected into their last subjects, creating what they wanted, giving the Subjects the Powers, physiology and ability of the Elder Demons, slightly filtered down due to the Artificial Hybrid nature. Unfortunately, only one was left and they escaped due to an oversight that the Survivor has since corrected: GENOCELL was hastily made and thus was not perfected and eventually deteriorated, leaving many of them to be torn apart like the rest, while the survivor was able to fix the Artificial Cell and survive in the Criminal Underworld as a Super-Villain alongside many others, including the Venom Survivor. Manifestation: Demonic Wings, Talons, Demonic Energy crackles unstably and their power is but a shadow of a True Elder Demon. Their skin is scaly, red and their eyes completely yellow and glowing, small horns protrude from their head.

Is Oryx omniscient?

 

Otherwise it's passable that he simply fooled the god thingy and simply doesn't mention it.

Well...he isn't omniscient, but he can see through the eyes of his subjects and read their minds, with varying degrees of time taken to be able to build up his influence in them, could be hours, could be days.

 

one thing for sure though, the moment Dorian stepped into that meeting room, saturated with Oryx's power, you really think he came back the same as before? there is a good bit of Oryx's influence (THink of it like an infection) on him by now

There's also the possibility that Dorian hadn't decided to rat them out until after the fact.  It might've just been convenient to inform a Messiah spy for a pouch of gold. ; )

He definitely gave out the information after exiting lying to himself that he will not sell it. Or it could be a state of mind where his thoughts are difficult to read.

 

 

If i say yes Dorian will probably be an overpowered plot device.

 

If i say no then I'd be probably killing him off.

 

What if orient developed some sort of one use drug that counteracts this?

If you say no then Dex will pay him regular visits...with money, to buy him into Oryx's side.

 

Oryx won't kill Dorian off until Dorian really screws the pooch with them.

 

A drug huh? well, Dorian doesn't know about the infection, no one knows they are infected, and its almost impossible to detect. So I dunno about a drug.

Also, if you don't want Oryx reading Dorian's mind he cannot.  It's a general rule that's pretty much at the discretion of the other player so that it was fair to everyone.  It's just that it works in an interesting way when Oryx can read minds and thus most of us accept it, plus it fits well with Oryx's character and dominance of the empire.  I'm sorry; I should've mentioned that earlier.  Regarding your two choices, though, I think you could go with either, though I like the idea of the former and decides to sell out the information later, or has learned that Oryx can read minds.  Maybe he's received training to protect his mind?

1st: holy crap, you okay? Completely understand, and please take it easy.2nd: definitely allied with the North, possibly a werewolf. I'm juggling with several different character ideas for North character. If I do a werewolf character, it will either be a Stark (if that's alright with you) or something more like Bigby Wolf from Fables/The Wolf Among Us (a werewolf from the other direction). Also toying with an adaptation of a Wolfbrother from Wheel of Time or a Kitsune.

Arya Stark plz Just keep in mind if you decide to do that, and I very much encourage the idea I like it a lot, that Stark's last name is actually Red, opposed to Stark. And any other variations on the werewolf concept are also welcome. And thanks for the concern, but I can function mostly fine.

1.)Hello, GUMMI DREADNOUGHT? The Nobody Dreadnought level in KH2? The Heartless Pirate Ship? The dozens of large warships all over the Nobody Dreadought?I know what I'm doing >.>2.) Duels aren't gone you can have them. I tend to focus on the big stuff, not ruining duels -.-3.) Kaipora will have Ryonne heading there, as well as, hopefully, Neena and Henry, heading their way while Kusanagi keeps the hive ships busy.Don't count the Rebellion out just yet.

 Ryonne can take one, maybe two on a good day with surprise. He is a duelist at heart, and confronting multiple strong opponents like that isn't his strong suit at all. As for Neena and Henry, I doubt they'll get there in time. First they have to deal with Ariana, then Ciriel actually has to convince them to join. 

Hmm . . . .  I just thought of something after reading your last post.  I'm not sure that Messiah could've necessarily caught wind of the attack on Kaipora.  It was a rather small meeting which commenced that even discussed the attack on Kaipora, and Isaac is choosing a very discreet strategy to infiltrate the city.  Either Messiah has *very* good intel and has internal spies, or the Empire has very loud soldiers.  Either way, I suppose it's possible.  I just find it really unlikely that Messiah learned of the potential attack unless there was an information leak, which I kind of doubt.

On the topic of Intel going a bit too freely, I think it's worth noting that Venas probably shouldn't know about Messiah. It's possible that he had spies, but if he did, then why would the king show up with absolutely no idea what the Seraphim looked like, what happened to Eclaire, etc. Having spies within the Empire at Hylvania is possible, but I'm pretty sure they're a little occupied not getting mauled by a werewolf to communicate. That leaves the potential for an intercepted communication, but I'm pretty sure if Messiah was able to keep secret this long, then their comm channels couldn't be so easily hacked, and if it could by the Venas land and it's tech, then why didn't they do it before? I'm just thinking, when Jynn first showed up, he knew nothing, and suddenly he knows that Messiah is a thing, despite that not even being common knowledge within the Empire yet.I hate to go on about Game of Thrones, but it's really influenced me and my writing/characters recently, and it really drove home to me that not everybody knows everything, and how much of the stuff the characters in our games know that are actually probably well-kept secrets. If we're going to make Intel as free as we have right now, we should make mention of the hackers or spies that get it. Incredibly skilled hackers and spies I might add.Also, @Kuni when are you postinggggg

And on the subject of mind reading it would fit Dorian's slippery character that cant be read.

I was actually kind of thinking the same thing.  I mean, I don't want to say that Jynn *couldn't* learn of this information, but Messiah has been kept a secret for over a year and it's unlikely that its name is even breathed (unless THEY have an information leak, which they don't).  I also am a little miffed that he sensed darkness within Yevgeni.  He's very discreet about his tampering with necromancy, and he's also very secretive about the attacks on imperials.  If he does do it for the Order he claims it was a necessity or in error, and if he doesn't either he or a small secret group of troops does it.  I sincerely don't think Jynn could know that Yevgeni is up to anything ill; it is far from common knowledge.

 

I don't know; I don't want to ask KHDude to edit the post, but at the same time the amount of knowledge that Jynn has is rather unfathomable and kind of disrupts things.

RIghty then, Oryx won't read Dorian's mind, but can he see through the mans eyes? that takes much less influcence buildup necessary to do so.

It'd be possible but would he know a messiah spy who was sitting at Dorians back while they exchanged information?

 

It's pretty common to do it that way so neither would know the others face in case they got caught. And if it were Messiah you could justify the caution.

 

 

 

And I agree with Emerald that information like this should not leek so often. I will try to justify that as well as try to sew any plot holes that may occur if at all possible.

The second deuce looked into Ol' Yella's eyes:

Glorious.  =P

. . . . . . . .

NO!!!  Dorian, you traitor!!!

 

That's a fine idea; thank you.

 

An information seller can make a fine character in this game.  There's nothing quite like a man who is on all sides just to make a profit, but I fear for his safety when he confronts a leader willing to lose an asset to close the gaps made by the asset.

I understand your viewpoint, but the way I read it was more along the lines of moral darkness rather than his tampering with necromancy if the post was on the 7th of January.  I admit, though, that darkness in many a way is being exuded by Kaspar, that rascallike soul, and in no small part to his night-time activities of disturbing rigor mortis victims.

It'd be possible but would he know a messiah spy who was sitting at Dorians back while they exchanged information?

 

It's pretty common to do it that way so neither would know the others face in case they got caught. And if it were Messiah you could justify the caution.

 

 

 

And I agree with Emerald that information like this should not leek so often. I will try to justify that as well as try to sew any plot holes that may occur if at all possible.

 

Kinda fits actually, MEssiah found out about Hylvania and Kaipora attack, and intercepted Oryx's attacks, that would make him very cautious, and the first person he'd think sold them out would be Dorian, since he wasn't affiliated with them and he attended the meeting. Makes snese

 

If he looked through Dorian's eyes during the exchange...yes, he would find out.

Wrong interpretation.

 

If the spy and Dorian were sitting back to back in a way that they couldn't see each other then that would eliminate the danger entirely. Furthermore it would cause suspicion among the Oryx party since there'd be no proof. In fact if the seeing through his eyes thing yielded no evidence he could say someone else did it who knew about it to frame him.

A very good point.

 

If Dorian finds out Oryx can see through his eyes, he can definitely do this. Yes. Specially if they give information i nthe form of papers and messages and whatnot, since Oryx can hear what you say and what you hear also when he sees through your eyes.

It can be labeled as standard procedure since plenty of info trades happen like that IRL

Indeed they are, so no problem there.

 

Go for it. I guess.

Also I forgot to mention, but I was a little peeved that Ryonne's outburst went ignored. I understand a lot is happening, but the barest acknowledgement that it happened would be enough, especially since this is intended to be an integral part of Ryonne's plotline.

I'llllllll possssssssttt soooooooooooooonnn.....

Glorious.  =P

 

 

An information seller can make a fine character in this game.  There's nothing quite like a man who is on all sides just to make a profit, but I fear for his safety when he confronts a leader willing to lose an asset to close the gaps made by the asset.

You're probably right.  I was covering my bases by discussing both forms of his darkness, just in case.  His darkness of morality is not common knowledge, either.  He's incredibly discreet about his attacks on imperials, unless of course he has an excuse and can put it to the Order's name.  If people are referring to the Godolvia attack in assuming his dark moral I could slightly see the point, though funnily enough I was never going to actually have him blatantly attack Godolvia like that. : P  I'm still kind of thinking that attack shouldn't have been him, which means we've got another party to worry about.

Sorry, I honestly have been more focused on trying to salvage every imaginable plan I have where was the outburst? I'll go and edit something in.Also, Hylvania is clearly in full swing...but the MAJORITY of the Imperials were sent to Kaipora. Anyone could notice an army led by some of the most powerful warriors of the Empire with FOUR Taken hive ships heading in the direction of Kaipora.

Oh-h-h, gotcha.  I had not known that his perturbed sense of morality was not common knowledge, though this makes sense to me now.

 

I wonder what abysmal acts Kaspar can do with this altered overall moral system.  Imagine an undead army attacking a New Empire town or city from within, chanting the name of Oryx as it creates mayhem.  That would be a death's knell to Oryx's popularity unless he halts it mid-action, given the lack of accrued knowledge of necromancy in this world.  Necromancers can create all sorts of chaos given there's a cemetery around, sort of like Harris from Heroes Reborn with his clones.

The ship to Kaipora is actually still stationed within the imperial base and hasn't taken off yet, and their plan is to, well, Isaac has a plan to be very discreet.  One thing is that they're planning to stop a far ways away from Kaipora, but it is possible that Eclaire's meeting is of a slightly different timeline that Isaac.  He could be preparing his army, while Eclaire's party is jumped ahead an hour or so where he's en route.  Either way it's fine; we can leave it as-is. : )

That would work...for literally a few seconds before the taken defense forces start defending against the zombie assault. Might just make things awkward. As the zombies wee shouting for Oryx but oryxs army took them out and restored control.That and to do that you would have to get through Tolan and Mary. They would not stand for this. Regardless of yev's orders.And as mystics said the ships for the kaipora attack are still in the empire base. They are there to strike at Isaac's orders pretty much. He just neess to give a signal. Be it magical or simply a radio communication and tbe ships and Dex will come.But the arrival or Messiah's ships would kinda put a debt in it.
