Forges is the 29th chapter of The Deathworlders by u/Hambone3110.
Synopsis[]
The Entity is born from Six's scrapheap of disassembled copies of Ava; Vakno procures Bedu's services to find out who fed Perfection to the Hunters; Xiù, Allison and Julian, settle into "The Box", eventually getting over their awkwardness about seeing each other naked; Simon takes Ava to the airport where she reunites with the Tisdale family who are also returning to Cimbrean; Knight and Powell give the performance report on Operation: NOVA HOUND to the SOR; Adam and Martina run into Ava at Folctha's cemetery; the SOR purchase some Gauss rifles; Kirk resolves to get Lewis some help on the Coltainer project, letting Lewis design him a ship; Adam has a talk with a very broody Jack Tisdale;
Meanwhile, Regaari is set the task of dealing with the Racing Thunder by an opposing Father; since the ship technically deserted the Perfection fleet, the Dominion required the crew to be punished. As a solution, Regaari encourages some females, including Myun, to move to Cimbrean, then "banished" the Racing Thunder there. Since the ship is now protecting the lives of a healthy Gaoian population, One-Fang is unconcerned about sending the ship there, and Cimbrean gets an extra ship in its fleet. Arriving at Cimbrean, Regaari and the shipfather, Yefrig, greet the SOR customs detachment, however Knight is displeased with Regaari since the crew are mostly implanted.
As Ava settles into her new job at ESNN, she interviews Myun, writing a piece on her experiences with Xiù. The article is published only shortly before the decision of which team will pilot BGEV-11, forcing Byron Group's hand into choosing them over the other teams for publicity purposes.
Six and a new copy of Ava are devoured by the Entity.
