The Mech Touch

‘ve invited you here to mediate your differences with Ketis. ”

”That Swordmaiden gal? Pah! She doesn ’t belong in a Vandal workshop! She doesn ’t belong in any workshop at all! I don ’t mean no disrespect, but putting her in charge over us is a big fat mistake! ”

”I disagree. ” Ves smiled.
”And I intend to convince you of that fact. ”

”With what? Siccing her on me? If you dare to do something to me, the mech technicians will riot, I will guarantee you! ”

The chiefs weren ’t stupid and they already formented some rumors.
All of this laid the groundwork for a riot in the event something truly bad happened to one of their own.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

Ves didn ’t care.

”Ketis, please restrain this fellow. ”

A form the chief hadn ’t noticed sprung from the wall and roughly grabbed hold of the chief ’s hazard suit.
She proficiently restrained the older man with the help of her heavy combat armor.

The chief stood no chance.

”What ’s the meaning of this?! The mech technicians won ’t stand for this!? ”

”I ’m not going to hurt you, chief.
I only want to bring you along to a little field trip.
Let ’s go. ”

Ves, Ketis and her restrained prisoner exited the office and walked across the camp to board a fast transport.
A regular transit channel already emerged where fast transports went back and forth between the camp and Qilanxo ’s holding chamber every half hour.

Once the fast transport arrived at the holding chamber, the three went past the security checkpoint without any fuss due to Ves and walked all the way up to Qilanxo.

Currently, the two candidate beast riders set up a rotation where they spent at least six hours in Qlianxo ’s company.
Their superiors relieved most of their former duties in order to make time for these lengthy bonding sessions.

Mostly, these sessions consisted of Captain Orfan or Lieutenant Dise regaling the curious sacred god of their many exploits among the stars.
Qilanxo eagerly listened to any stories that took place on very different worlds and star systems.

Right now, Lieutenant Dise regaled the beast with some of the many sights she witnessed roaming through the frontier with the Swordmaidens.
She quickly halted when she noted the newcomers.

”Mr.
Larkinson! Ketis! Who is this? ”

”Just a chump that needs a lesson. ” Ketis grinned back.

”What are you doing?! Why are you taking me to this animal! I don ’t want to be here! This is illegal! ”

Despite all the yelling and moaning, nobody stepped forward to stop them because of Ves.
Anything he got involved in usually helped out the Vandals.
Though they didn ’t understand why he brought an unwilling person to the holding chamber, they didn ’t particularly see the need to intervene.

”This is my good friend Qilanxo.
She ’s a sacred god and our newest ally. ” Ves regaled the chief.
”She ’s also the reason why I can ’t preside over the workshops anymore.
Researching the man-beast connection and trying to replicate this feat takes up all of my time. ”

”What does that have to do with bringing me to this beast?! ”

”Don ’t address Qilanxo like she ’s a herd animal.
She ’s a sacred god! Even if the title is false, she is still an infinitely greater organism than a little stain like you. ”

”We ’re humans! We ’re better than beasts! ”

”In my perspective, you ’re a cockroach in front of her. ” Ves coolly stated.
”You aren ’t even worthy of standing before this sacred god. ”

”What are you doing.
Wait! Don ’t bring me closer! Ahhhh! ”

When Ves commanded Ketis to bring the chief closer, she roughly dragged him forward and threw him into Qilanxo ’s waiting maw.
Ketis threw him with enough forward momentum to fly between the gap of Qilanxo ’s massive razor sharp teeth, but not enough to cause him to slide down through the sacred god ’s throat.

The chief panicked.
There was something very frightening and traumatic about being thrown inside the maw of a giant exobeast.
The man practically broke down as fears of being chewed into half by Qilanxo ’s teeth or being swallowed down into her stomach, never to return occupied his thoughts.

Ves let the chief stew inside Qilanxo ’s maw for a single minute before speaking up.
”That ’s enough, Qilanxo.
Please bring the poor man out. ”

Qilanxo lazily lidded an eye towards Ves, as if she resented that he brought her a meal but didn ’t allow her to gulp it down.
Nevertheless, her massive tongue lifted up and out of her widening maw.

With a light flick, her tongue threw the unstable chief against the ground, forcing his wet and saliva-ridden hazard suit to absorb the impact.

His helmet had already unfolded in order to protect them against the highly potent substances inside Qilanxo ’s spit.

”Ketis, please bring the chief to decontamination to clean up his hazard suit.
We ’ll be returning to camp as soon as that ’s done. ”

”Okay. ”

Ketis roughly lifted up the prone and insensiate chief and carried him towards decontamination.

As for Ves, he looked at Qilanxo and bowed lightly.
”Thanks for your cooperation. ”

The beast let out a disgruntled-sounding roar to Ves.

”There are five more people who need to be taught a lesson.
As long as you cooperate, I ’ll make it up to you.
I think I can persuade the Vandals to hunt down a wild god and have you eat its flesh.
How does that sound like? ”

Qilanxo roared out a light approval.

”You like that? And you want to have the first pick of what to eat? Why so? ”

She released several roars, each of which contained complex meanings.

”You want to eat its murky crystal? ” Ves frowned.
Though the Vandals didn ’t know the value of these strange crystal growths, they knew it was important somehow.
”What purpose does that serve? ”

She roared again, but this time Ves widened his eyes.

”Is that true?! ”

In the meantime, Lieutenant Dise stood at the side watching Ves talk to Qilanxo as if he held a normal conversation.

For some reason, she felt very inadequate.
