Everytime At the Table: September's Wobble

 Yes, dear message-sender in August, I know it should be every time but hey, there was a clever reason for the title 80 years ago or so.

So Friday night, on the 2nd of September, we had a Wobbling session. Curtis and Peryton brought Professor Viggo and Daisy Adair to life in the farthest reaches of TAU Verse. Finding Alejandro, who just happened to be a leader of a band of pirates hired by the Mondroms to cause problems for a political entity known as Xylon Space, specifically a planet called Inasfar. Alejandro, was in the process of convincing his fellow pirates not to attack the Dodo just as a Xylon patrol ship entered the region. The vessel was twenty times bigger than the pirate craft and the Wobble-Boat all combined. It released a form of an electromagnetic pulse disabling all the ships around itself, then leisurely scooped them up.

The Xylon patrol ship. The "x" is the Dodo.

Inasfar is controlled by the human-like but damn-near immortal species known as the Xylons. They have been waging a millennium long war on the Skwid, and this planet is newly acquired territory. Only occupied about three centuries ago. Because of the warring between the skwids and the xylon, only about a third of the world is not radioactive wasteland. Those areas are controlled by a species of simian humanoids known as Planet Apes and very human-like Cylons (humans but stronger). While there may or may not be a link between the xylons and cylons, there is a definite link between cylons and humans. Cylons were on Earth during the bronze age, hence the Cylonic Affair of 630 BC or so. A third species known as Wasters, are basically, humans and whatnot living out in the apocalypse ravaged lands.
Xylons live on a levitating city/realm, about as big as Delaware and 500 meters deep, known as Wonderhome. The Cylons control only bits of territories with about three city-states. Two that are sketched out are Athena City and Award. The Planeters, another name for Planet Apes, control most of the continent of Junta. Meanwhile the Wasters live out in the wastes and are blamed for their mutations and ailments, greatly considered to be morally deficient by the Cylons and Xylons-- and the apes don't want any ugly human-like beings hanging out in their parts.

The nicer parts of Inasfar

Alejandro, is the brother to Cyclon XVI, known as The Dude of Athena City. He has disagreed with the predujice of the cylons towards their fellow human-like beings, the Wasters. He sent himself into exile as a protest and then ran out of money. He was searching for a sugar daddy when he and Viggo met. Being separated from his new lover during the Art Show wobble (two, three, maybe four years ago?), he fell in with pirates. Most of the pirates being Pyramid-Heads, he became a captain quickly. Being from the Q, the part of the TAU Verse where Xylons and Skwids are fighting, the Mondrom wanted him to act as their scout for their own territorial incursions there. And he was captured on the first attack of his first mission. The guy has no luck.

And next comes the trial of Ajahando (Cylonese for Alejandro).
