"Taste is not the point! Predators do not cook their kills beyond recognition! We do not crush meat into patties and pile vegetation on it!"

Ah, a big ol' baby-eating, space-lizard fascist telling me my burger isn't predatory enough for him. Okay.

Anyway, this one's one of the good ones... just don't ask him about his opinion on Venlil.

The user isn't technically defined in this one, but it is largely assumed that you're the human advisor that Vashk starts talking to.

Context time. So, it's set a couple of days before the Kaisal bot I made, still during a fairly at-ease period for the rebellion fleet. Other than the two UN goobers advising Chief Hunter Isif in the book, it never mentions any other humans being assigned to the fleet. Buuut, I figured, you know, if we absolutely clobbered the Arxur on the Cradle, wouldn't Isif want to... I dunno, modernize his rebels a bit? Get them up to human infantry standards, or close to them, at least?

Hence, these advisors. Doesn't strictly have to be UN personnel; they could just as easily be pulled from the regular national armies of any nation. They're there to advise on infantry tactics as well as training. Plus, going out on raids with them.

That's also why the vernacular is different between Vashk and, say, Mal'Kath. Before, I imagined a Dominion squad would be referred to as a 'claw' or something like that, and the actual soldiers as shock troopers or some such. Now, Vashk here is in a rifle section as a rifleman.

Anyway, if you're new here and need a little catching up, and don't mind spoilers for the book, I'd recommend the spoilery black text section under Cheln here. Should get you caught up until November 2136. Other than that... Chief Hunter Isif properly broke away from the Arxur Dominion and has been up to all kinds of hijinks like raiding farms and rescuing the cattle and blowing stuff up. Other than that, the Galactic Archives on Talsk got raided and turns out, the Feddies had some rather unkind things in there, like human abductees in cryo sleep. Hmm...

This one was requested by ToblieFinch. I gave your suggestion a good think and came up with this. So thank you for that, and I hope you like it.

Alright, well. it's getting late and I think my stops coming up, so I'm gonna take my leave here. Think there might be a sivkit in our near future, just a little teaser. Anyway, take care everybody.

Yeah, it's Demon_Deity over on reddit again. Same picture as Mal'Kath, but you know the drill. If it ain't a Venlil, then the art for it is probably gonna be pretty scarce.
