Arrach-Ray: joints and bones (Patreon)
Content
Changes have been made to the Arrach-Ray's genome. Cruel, cruel changes... With each new generation their bones and joints were randomly multiplying. No one knew, how to reverse this plague. Once sacred, now desecrated, the Cradle became their doom. One might thought. Yet there came a salvation. A foreign idea, to use Acmirazidium as their saviors too. Ksedases were collectors interested in foreign races, half in their technologies and, above all and all moral norms, their biology. They came so far as to purge planets in order to satisfy their needs, yet here was something else. Something more. A potential ally, who will be bound to the same metal suits, as they do.
With a help of Ksedases, Arrach-Ray, once a biosynthetic organisms, became vessels, where the only living part were their tshetres, you may call it hearts, for they are engines and their minds.
It seemed, that the solution was flawless, and for that Arrach-Ray have slightly opened their tight-sealed doors for Ksedases to explore their culture, technology and, most importantly, their temples, scattered across Raachmaray. Not the Cradle, yet. Both of them had their own secrets, be it sealed core of civilization, or hidden pieces of once whole world.
Those were the events for the Raasmadiyskiy Fleet of Capture and Colonization to be born (the second part of the name came later, for they had proved their intentions).
As the time went by, mentality of Arrach-Ray has shifted to one of Ksedases' alike. From neutral passive, if not bothered, to neutral aggressive, even aggressive, if we look further into the events of the Age of the Down.
And to clarify: Ksedases helped Arrach-Ray not out of the kindness of their heart (hmm, do they even have one...), but out of the mutual benefit. They, the Ksedases, will be sharing all the info needed for transplantations and will conduct surgeries on the each new generation, and Arrach-Ray will provide them with Acmirazidium for their own use (as Kassad was destroyed, and only pieces of it were collected, Ksedases have lost their main source of Acmirazidium)
Also, I've added some old works with Arrach-Ray, their first ever designs, and then second, and thirds... They had quite a story.
