Threeway Picture Pong #2

The counter salvos has been launched! From Nothic's Eye we receive thus...


BIG TAM'S CRAWLING OASIS, DOCKYARD, AND DELICATESSEN 
The finest establishment to roam the desert wastes, a place of rest and relaxation (for those with the cash to afford it) where one can kick back, refill their canteen, and sun themselves on the pool deck. All sorts from across the desert mingle here, but don't make trouble! Big Tam might thrash you herself if her cyborg-baboon goons don't finish you off first. Some current visitors to Big Tam's are.... The Illustrious Warlord Boss Bellos whose parked his seaplane and taken over the first class suite.... Mandy & Mindy the news'copter twins with their heavy camera equipment setup up on the Mezzanine, pestering Big Tam for interviews... and Petor the Demolisher, with his rather dangerous cargo of explosives, who has been regulated to the lower decks.

And from the Velvet Inks this mysterious entourage has arrived...



THE PROCESSION
They come                                            Whence they came?
        They come they come
Bearers masks fluters drummers pole holders                                            They come
                               To extract?                                To take?                                                        To kill?
                                                    Thieves                                        Liars                            Murderers
Gods?
                    Do not look them in there not-eyes                    Do not!
    Give them your honey, your grain, your bullets, your cinders                    Do not refuse!
                                                                                                            They will take! Take!        Animals
              They burn as they come                                                                              Homes      Children
The land crisps and turns to ash                ash and cinders            they love the fire and finery
                            give them what they want                Give them
                                                        And hope they don't return

And now for The Nothic's Eye's new nemesis...


And for Velvet Ink's as well...

THREEWAY PICTURE PONG BEGINS! #1

Thus begins the epic threeway picture pong between me, Nothics Eye and Velvet Inks. I shall start with the images that I must answer.


VOLONI ORGANITECH INFANTRY DRONES IN ATTACK FORMATION
Taken circa 43 EG by an anonymous SmuCorp camerabot
The still photo above depicts the opening hours of the assault on the desert moon of Cinnabar by Voloni forces. After disembarking from their dropships the infantry drones quickly overrun static turret trench forces and seized the starport bastion. Allowing for the remaining invasion force to land. In the coming campaign year the Organitech based drone forces of the Voloni would prove their durability and mettle, easily outlasting the often superior but more fragile traditional thaumo-crystal tech used by the Cinnabarian defense forces. 


THE FOUR PILLARED PALACE 
A magnificent construction built in the fifth century of the purple fruitbat, by their most Imperious & Sanctimonious Majesty Octovunis the II. During the August Years it was expanded several times with lavish art galleries and steeple chapels built onto its already precariously piled top. Later on, after a century of neglect and financial squalor under the Vessi family the newly installed Fassi family used the palace for their notorious sky executions, where dissidents, traitors, and other enemies of the state where pushed off the edge. During the Argent Revolution the palace was a bastion for the royal family and army, used to position artillery for the shelling of the rest of the capitol from its elevated position. Eventually with the threat of rebel explosives placed at the pillar bases the army surrendered. Nowadays the palace is a museum and cultural center though its cavernous halls also host dangerous pro-royalist plots.

Now comes the images the others shall answer...


To Velvet Inks I give you this emerald colored scene. Deduce what it is if ye can!

People have stopped in the rain to look at a cello hanging above the street

And to Nothics Eye I present this perplexing mystery. What will you make of it!
