“We cannot come to your aid, noble Deltas of Querious,” said the King’s men, “For there is a mythical bird in the lands of M2-XFE. They spoke to King Mittani’s hersirs and made their case: many men of PAPI had arrived to burn W6V, and the men of Delta required urgent aid. The men of Delta sent messengers to their kinsmen in the lands of Delve. It seemed that at every node or gate, there was a new PAPI HAC fleet to be found and more Monitors were in Querious that day than there were men in all of Delta Sqad. Even the nimblest ECM Ares – who were well-known for their ability to ride faster and turn quicker than all other ships – were destroyed by the instalockers and Skybreakers of PAPI. The Griffins went to assail the sensors of those same ships. The Thrashers were sent to attack those men of PAPI who were seen to wield the green persuasion-beams that would doom the iHub POS. This counter-attack went as was expected. It seems unlikely that twenty men can compete with this, but we men of Delta are a steadfast lot and we will do what we can despite our modest means.” With that, many Thrashers and Griffins were saddled, and the few men of Delta who were in the vicinity of W6V rode out to meet their attackers. Jarl Aritzia was awakened, and said, “Over a thousand men of PAPI are here to burn our iHub. Returning now to Thingul and the fate of W6V, many men of PAPI had journeyed there through many cynos. This was the kind of thing that Brave did, but after several humiliations at the hands of Delta’s fearsome Sax fleet, the men of Brave and Severance had not been seen in W6V for some time. It has previously been related that the men of Brave and Severance had attempted to burn a Raitaru in W6V, and that they had paid for their greed with many dead Gilas and Basilisks. Therefore, many of the men had been eagerly anticipating Brave’s return, as this iHub destruction was widely regarded as something sure to create many hilarious fights. The men of Delta, however, knowing Brave to be amongst the most inept of fighters, were not at all concerned by this appearance and had previously ventured out into the hills and forests of Querious and killed the iHubs that Brave had installed, leaving only a handful standing. They were planning to invade the lands of Querious yet again. Now, it had previously been known to the men of Delta Sqad that the men of Brave – having already been disgraced and humiliated by their eviction from Querious at the hands of Delta and by their eviction from the East by the men of Init – were keen to take revenge and otherwise make themselves look like a real alliance. There were not very many men at the Keepstar this day, as many of them were in the hills tending to their livestock, but there were a few able-bodied men there. Thingul leapt onto his Rifter and rode off in the direction of the W6V Keepstar. Cynos appeared in the hilltops all around, and men of TEST and Horde and NCdot began to appear upon them in great numbers. The sun grew dark, as if the depths of winter had returned, and a freezing wind picked up from the west. Suddenly, the air took on a distinct chill. On this day, Thingul was looking after one of his shielings in the hills outside W6V and things looked to be going very well: the sky was blue, the air was pleasantly cool, the sunshine was pleasantly warm and Thingul had many fine young frigates amongst his herd. He was an able farmer and an excellent poster, and was also said to have been one of the best Griffin pilots in all of Delta Sqad. There was a man called Thingul Sindacolla, a man of Delta who was held in the highest regard. This was the time of year when many new Vexors and Hurricanes were born and the shepherds of Good Post Country would accompany them to the highlands where they could graze on the fresh grasses and tend to their young. The air began to warm, the days became longer, and for the first time in the new year the sun began to shine into the deepest fjords of Delta Sqad country. It was springtime in the lands of Querious.
