"Excellent. I can see that you are building an empire for yourself. I wish to offer an acceleration."
"What kind of acceleration under what terms?"
"The acceleration: fundamental understanding beyond the scope of Spherus Magna's offerings, and by extension, knowledge and technology that is sure to present satisfactory advantages in the future. The terms: none, other than that you succeed. Xia presents a ray of hope for this world, and I do know how the populace likes to cling to hope. It is a powerful fuel... yet so small and waning as time's bitter stain turns away more and more dreamers. As such, I intend to eliminate hope altogether.
So there you have it: the acceleration, my terms, and my drive. Will you accept?"

"That sounds acceptable"
"Very well. My gifts are yours. Now, where shall we start?"
A large Bruiser wearing a Kakama speeds up to the gates, skidding to a halt. He grunted as he gazed upon the tall gates, banging on them with one of his hammers. "Open up."
A Tokilu wrapped in a thick cloak walks up to the gate. "New Xia... they always survive." His voice rumbles low yet confident as it echos the frozen plains. "This is where I start."

The Kakama-wearing Bruiser raised a brow at the new arrival, making a bit of friendly conversation. "Start? With what?"

The Kakama-wearing Bruiser raised a brow at the new arrival, making a bit of friendly conversation. "Start? With what?"
The Tokilu examines the Bruiser. "I already know everything about the old universe, Shereus Magna is a new extention challenge. Obviously I need supplies that were not trashed in the recent bot war." He turns back to the gate. "I haven't missed much, Xians are still antsy about newcomers."

He inclines his head, shifting his gaze back over to the gates. "I see. S'still hard to believe that our entire world was a...uh...'machine'. Like it was some sort've test chamber for more powerful beings." He rolled his shoulders, placing his hammer back on his belt. "Anyway, the reason I'm here is to get a few armor upgrades. Don't have anything to pay with, but perhaps they'd appreciate a mercenary of sorts."

"I see. Well, your species is quite powerful, and since you can actually use kanohi, they might consider it." The reptilian pulls out a kanoka from his cloak. "I'm going in, these Nektann don't seem to mind my presence."

Some unruly Toa have blown the dates down and used Iron to absorb the Nektann that objected.
PEW Pew pew
Two Turret Nektann a distance away rotate and blast walls of Stasis and Slow around the Toa. SOme Phantoka drones relatively nearby fly up in a ballistic trajectory, adding a floor and a roof to the makeshift prison.
