Scottsigler:

'''Orbital Station Four''' was the largest Quyth orbital station ever built.

An accident in its molten core management caused tectonic activity so severe that it killed all residents. One billion, two hundred and three million, twelve thousand, seven hundred and eighty-six sentients died.

==Architect==
OS4 was designed by Zantal'ah. At the time, Zantal'ah was a [[Heptan]]. Her design and subsequent mismanagement are blamed as the cause of the molten core disaster. For this tragedy, she was renamed "Zantal'ah the Apocalypse]].

==Descriptions==

'''From ''THE DETECTIVE''''':
* Fred was just finishing when an older man with a bulging chin and a filthy apron came by his table.

'''From ''THE MVP''''':
* The man looked the same. More gray at the temples, maybe, and the gut was a little bigger, but there was no mistaking Mister Sam, the cook who had taken Quentin in and given him a better life.

==Family==

Yantath

[[File:Yanath.png|thumb|400px|Yantath as depicted in Torkathen field iconography]]

'''Yantath''' was the central harvest deity of the Torkathen, revered as both provider and protector. He was believed to ensure not only the growth of crops, but their safety from blight, rot, disease, and the restless dead. Where Yantath was honored, the land endured.

His absence is most keenly felt in the slow corruption of once-stable fields, where crops fail without cause and the boundary between the living and the dead has begun to weaken.

==Cultural Origin==
Yantath was worshipped among the semi-nomadic Torkathen, who balanced seasonal farming with migratory herding. These clans relied on narrow windows of fertility in otherwise harsh terrain, making successful harvests a matter of survival rather than surplus.

Yantath was not seen as generous—he was seen as vigilant. His role was to hold back the many forces that sought to claim the harvest before it could feed the living.

The Torkathen believed survival depended not on abundance, but on keeping what little they had from being taken.

==Beliefs & Doctrine==
Followers of Yantath believed that the world constantly pressed against the boundary of decay. Rot, disease, and undeath were not anomalies, but ever-present threats held at bay through proper reverence.

Core beliefs included:
* All growth invites corruption
* The dead hunger for what the living cultivate
* A clean harvest requires constant vigilance

Yantath did not grant abundance—he preserved viability.

==Rituals & Worship==
Ritual practice focused on protection rather than growth.

Common rites included:
* Burning diseased crops at the edge of fields
* Night watches during the final weeks before harvest
* Burial of animal bones at field boundaries to “anchor” the living soil
* Silent offerings of first-cut grain, never spoken over

Harvest festivals were subdued affairs, marked more by relief than celebration.

==Iconography==
Yantath was most often depicted as a tall, gaunt figure wrapped in layered cloth, his face obscured or featureless.

Common symbols included:
* A bound sheaf of grain tied with dark cord
* Blackened sickles
* Rows of upright stakes marking field perimeters

His imagery emphasized containment and boundary, not fertility.

==Known Myths==
* '''The First Rot''' — Yantath is said to have driven a creeping blight into the earth, binding it beneath the soil so crops could grow above it.
* '''The Watching Season''' — In early eras, Yantath walked the fields at night. Any farmer who saw him and spoke would lose their entire harvest.
* '''The Quiet Bargain''' — Some stories claim Yantath demanded a portion of every harvest be left unclaimed, not for himself, but to keep other forces satisfied.

==Disappearance==
Yantath’s disappearance was not marked by a single event, but by a gradual failure of protections.

Early signs included:
* Crops rotting in isolated patches
* Livestock refusing to graze near certain fields
* Reports of movement in harvested rows at night

Within a generation, entire regions reported simultaneous blight and unexplained reanimation of the dead.

Some of the oldest Torkathen accounts claim Yantath did not fade, weaken, or die. They insist he simply stopped.

No warning. No sign. No final demand.

One season, the boundaries held. The next, they did not.

No consensus exists as to whether Yantath abandoned the world, was destroyed, or was overcome by the very forces he once restrained.

==Legacy==
Yantath remains one of the most widely invoked names among rural populations, despite the belief that he no longer answers.

His legacy persists in:
* Field-boundary rituals still practiced out of habit
* Sayings such as “Watch the rows, or Yantath won’t”
* Abandoned farmlands where no crops will take root

In some regions, it is whispered that Yantath did not vanish—but failed.

{{TOCleft}}

[[The Crypt Book 2: Voidstrike]] is the second in a [[The Crypt (novel series) | five-book series]].

==Synopsis==
'''Remember—what you see may not be real.'''

The P.U.V. James Keeling has two objectives: raid enemy supply lines, and capture live specimens of a flesh-eating, warmongering alien species. The first mission is suicidal. The second might be worse.

But there’s a complication. The operation unfolds in the territory of a neutral power—one whose ships escort the enemy, and whose laws forbid Keeling’s crew from firing back. A single stray artillery shell could spark a second war, one the Planetary Union will not survive.

Through it all, the crew must endure the living nightmare of serving on the Crypt. Every “dive” through transdimensional space peels back another layer of reality. Crewmembers whisper of things seen in the dark, things that shouldn’t exist. Stress compounds. Sanity frays. A crew of rejects, thieves, murderers, and cowards—the “best of the worst“—face death at every turn.

When even your bunkmate might try to kill you, who has your back?

Book II of The Crypt plunges into unknowable terror, where you can’t trust your own senses—and the ship itself may be the greatest threat of all.

[[File:floatclaw.png|thumb|right|300px|A digital rendering of a Floatclaw, a skyborne kaiju with hardened calcium carbonate claws.]]

== Description ==
Floatclaws are airborne kaiju that emerged from the same subterranean fissures as [[growl owl]]s and [[sky grazer]]s. Unlike their elder kaiju cousins—who first appeared nearly a century ago—floatclaws are a more recent phenomenon, first sighted roughly five years before the story of [[Kaiju Poo-Poo]] begins.

Roughly the size of a compact urban vehicle, Floatclaws drift lazily through the sky with unnerving grace. Their rotund, sac-like bodies remain buoyant via internal gas bladders, giving them a jellyfish-like bobbing motion as they patrol the upper air currents. Despite their soft, almost whimsical silhouettes, these creatures are far from harmless.

Each Floatclaw possesses a set of rigid, chitinous claws protruding from beneath its undercarriage. These claws—rich in calcium carbonate—are both tools and weapons, capable of snapping power lines, puncturing sheet metal, or latching onto prey and infrastructure alike. Their outer shells contain minor calcium carbonate deposits, but it's the claws themselves that act as the primary reservoir of hardened mineral mass, believed to accumulate over time from their diet.

Floatclaws feed primarily on airborne microfauna and particulate clusters, but have been known to scavenge calcium-rich biological waste—including the calcified remains of smaller skyborne organisms.

Kelythelene

2026-01-12T21:18:33Z

Scottsigler:

== Kelythelene ==
''Kelythelene'' is a volatile, naturally occurring buoyancy gas synthesized within the upper mantle bladders of ''Tammuz corpulus''. It is the primary reason the kaiju remains aloft, and is highly prized by human engineers for its explosive energy density and clean combustion profile.

=== Composition and Properties ===
* Molecular Structure: Unknown; theorized to include helium, unstable nitrogen, and trace kaiju digestive enzymes
* Color: Pale iridescent blue
* Odor: Sweet, metallic, with ozone overtones
* Phase: Gaseous at ambient pressure; compressible to liquid under 800 psi
* Buoyancy Index: 1.21x that of hydrogen (per volume)

Keluthelene is lighter than air and non-toxic in its native state but becomes **combustible when compressed or exposed to iron oxide**. It is inert while suspended in kaiju tissue due to internal pressure regulation and mucus containment.

=== Biological Source ===
''Tammuz corpulus'' creates Kelythelene via an internal metabolic loop that digests airborne toxins and prey biomass. Within the kaiju’s **mantle bladders**, volatile gases are distilled, filtered through internal sphincters, and stored until released during respiration or cloacal backdraft.

Kelythelene is occasionally expelled in small bursts when Tammuz adjusts altitude or after major digestive events.

=== Human Applications ===
Kelythelene is extracted via:
* High-altitude siphoning following Skyloaf drop events
* Gas capture from post-defecation cloacal venting
* Mantle-tap dirigible teams (high risk)

Refined Kelythelene is used for:
* Dirigible fuel (airborne harvester fleets and sky cities)
* Burn-pellets and compressed gel charges
* Generator turbines in Class-B Wasteland Outposts
* Urban furnace cores in Barrow’s End, Six-Bastion, and Upper Kray

=== Hazards ===
* Flammable when compressed above 200 psi
* Explosive in iron-rich environments or near ozone catalysts
* Hallucinogenic if inhaled in raw form (classified as a Schedule II intoxicant in Union territory)
