Rivet

Head Engineer of Arkus, Arkeyan Crackler #43528

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

Hello, everyone. Seeing as the Engineering Department has a new head engineer (me, of course) I figured I should introduce myself. I am Rivet, the best Goddamn engineer this side of skylands. If you’re arkeyan and your shits broke, i’m the guy who fixes it.

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@BroiledCornaire You should visit my workshop!

Get yourself a uhh… firsthand view, of what I’ve got cooking up.

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@BroiledCornaire You ever seen an autogyro with an8-rack of guided missiles?

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@BroiledCornaire Naahhhh, the ones we got work good. Just a couple new toys for em to play with.

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

Tests are going wonderfuuulllyyyy~ 🎶

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@Arkeyan_lab If you find one, you think I can borrow it when you’re done? Still trying to reverse engineer it to make Arkeyan rift engines but I need a functioning one to see how they work to finish it.

I’ve had to scrap THREE different subordinates today alone. If these engineers don’t straighten up and start doing some actual work i’m going to start using them for parts in my own projects.

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@SceptileTwins THIS WHOLE DEPARTMENT IS FUCKING USELESS! USELESS! THEY’D GET MORE DONE IF THEY WERE MELTED INTO SLAG AND REPURPOSED AS PARTS FOR MY OWN PROJECTS! I’VE SEEN MORE PROMISING RESULTS FROM RIP-ROTORS AND THOSE THINGS ARE PATHETIC BY ARKEYAN STANDARDS

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

Dude if I get asked to fix one more fucking juggernaut I’m going to lose it. HOW DO YOU KEEP BREAKING YOUR SHIELDS SO EASILY

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@SceptileTwins NO! IM THE ONLY ONE IN THIS DAMN DEPARTMENT WHO TAKES THEIR JOB SERIOUSLY! NONE OF THESE “ENGINEERS” PUT IN ANY EFFORT! I’M THIS CLOSE TO FIRING THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT AND REFILLING IT WITH FRESH HIRES

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@Ruler_OfNone Eh, works better on some more than others. I’m not really built for combat, I just invent the shit that lets others do it better.

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

Glory to the regime.

[Conquertron @ArkeyanConquer]

Attention all residents of Skylands,

Your lives will be spared if you submit to the Arkeyan Regime. Spare us difficulty, and we will spare you your lives, it truly is that simple.

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@Ruler_OfNone Maybe so. But again, the goal isn’t subterfuge. Its pure overwhelming numbers of decoys.

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@Ruler_OfNone I assure you, you’re mistaken. See unlike other Cracklers I’m not STUPID enough to join the crowd with my fakes. I like to uhh… keep a distance, from the public. Hence why I’m talking to you through a mirror fake as well. My workshop is both my fortress and sanctuary.

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@Ruler_OfNone Oh please, the explosion is just a little bonus. The fakes don’t suicide bomb, normally the goal is to have so many out at once that you can’t possibly tell who’s who, and leave yourself open to everything else as you struggle to manage an army of identical clones ;)

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@Ruler_OfNone //ignore the extra asterisk my keyboard is bugging

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@Ruler_OfNone * a new mirror fake had snuck up behind him. Easy to avoid making noise when you float everywhere. *

Hypocrite this, hypocrite that, results are results my friend. If it works then it works. *

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@Ruler_OfNone * the body flickered like a hologram for a few seconds…

…and then fucking exploded.
It seems it was one of his mirror fakes, courtesy of him being a Crackler.
Must’ve been why he was so willing to goad an attack out of the king *

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@Ruler_OfNone Booo! No fun!

Come on, HIT ME, you coward!

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@Ruler_OfNone Hehe…
Absolutely.

[Rivet @CrackleEngineer]

@Ruler_OfNone Come onnnn! Don’t talk me out of it! Swing on me!
