GAUNE

The General Assembly of the United Nations of Earth (GAUNE) is the second largest company on Earth, a conglomerate that controls the Americas and the UKI. Everything else is owned by UNEGA. Though it began in 2090, it did not take its current name or own every company in its circle of influence until the Great Purchasings of 2142.

Economically, GAUNE is the lesser company compared to UNEGA but not by too much. They’re based in Toronto and one could say they allow a greater gap between the rich and poor in their arena. They’re also a bit more outwardly militaristic than UNEGA and are more likely to try a hostile takeover of their assets. GAUNE totals about 8 Billion people.

Companies and Countries under GAUNE include:

* B&L
	+ UKI
		- Scotland
			* Scotland Military
				+ Achnacarry
		- England
		- Wales
* NYSE
* NASDAQ
	+ Unocal
		- Consortium Buyers LLC
			* The Unbuyable Consortium
		- Vagrant Eradication Militia
			* Charity Co.
	+ Skunkworks
		- Skunkforce
* Nabisco
* NAW
	+ Texark
		- Ballard Heights
* WYCo
	+ NWS
* Xerox
	+ Uniquity XL
	+ IBC

## Behind the Scenes

NYSE and NASDAQ are real stock exchanges. Unocal was a real oil company once. Skunkworks is the name of Lockheed Martin's experimental division. Texark is a reference to A Canticle for Liebowitz. Xerox is a real company. Ballard Heights is named for J.G. Ballard. WYCo is a reference to Weyland Yutani from the Alien series.
The Arbitrator

There once were two towns that were always at odds with each other. Every year, they would meet up and spend three whole days complaining to and about each other, which would create enough ill feeling once again to last for a whole year, until they would meet up again.

One day, a young queen passed by as they were preparing for their annual three day argument. She heard about this, thought about it and then made a royal decree - for the three days, music could be played and songs sung, but no-one was allowed to speak. For two days, the people from the two separate towns tried to annoy each other with songs and music, but on the third day they gave up and just sang and danced together.
Eolh

Eolh Team or X Team was Valhalla's 21st Team, recruited over the course of the year 2231. Their names were Xibalba, Xavier, Xylo and Xodaba. Unfortunately, a mission lead them to The Black Crag along with Y Team and Ziu All three teams were hacked while on the site and were subsequently slaughtered by C Team and their runes retired in memoriam.
Com Stockins

Com Stockins was a Zaibatsu security driver in the Barsoom Colony on Mars.

## Spoilers

He was assigned to Rover 1 and was sent by Mishka to catch V Team when they departed the colony for Aureum Chaos. Varg managed to knock him out of the rover and under its wheels. Though unharmed, Stockins was severely embarrassed and never heard the end of it from his fellow security personnel.

## Behind the Scenes

Com Stockins's name is a conflation of Anthony Comstock and Slim Pickens, the former inspiring his facial hair and the latter his attitude.
Keratin Welding

Keratin welding is a means to harden hair and lock it in place. It consists of a one time treatment of electro-keratin gel that coats the hair. Once that gel is in place (it doesn't wash out) the hair can be welded in place by means of a removable weld clip. The weld clip activates the locking polymers in the gel and turns the hair hard, and bonds strands together. Once welded, it looks and acts roughly like slicked back wet hair.

Welding is favored by many Achnacarry soldiers and Valkyries with long hair to turn their hair solid and ungrabbable.

Abu Simbel

Abu Simbel is a base of The Amoeba. It has 5 teams of 3 each. It uses Arabic letters for team names. Its crew is the most diplomatic and delicate. They have the most advanced technology of all the bases and would rather solve problems with nonviolent trickery and complex schemes than go to all out war, though they still excel at warfare. They work mostly in Africa and the Middle East, and are located underwater in a base where Abu Simbel sat before it was moved. They have a bit of Egyptian mythology in their design and mentality.
Kvitøya

Kvitøya is an island in the Svalbarð archipelago near the north pole. It is home to Valhalla and many walruses, including Umberto. The only notable landmark on the island other than Valhalla is Andréeneset point, just south of the ravine. It’s a slab of rock with a smaller slab of rock sitting on it.

Kvitøya is depicted in the upper right corner of this map:
Borknagar

Borknagar is a name given to members of Berkanan team when they are inducted after the death of the previous member of that name. Subsidiary B Team members always have yellow armor, termite/boomerang Tikaris, and use obsidian black avatars online.

Borknagars thus far include:

1. Duc Nguyen, joined in 2207 from the ranks of the old Ares Corporation. Died in 2210 when a genetically engineered brain eating insect crawled into his ear.
2. Mitchell Festre from New York, joined in 2211 and died in 2219 of shock upon seeing what the Vile Baron, a serial killer, did to his 7th victim.
3. Xylo Unger of Cherbourg joined in 2219 and died in 2221, vaporized in a dispersion field (not on a mission).
4. Picks from Algeria joined in 2221 and died in 2227, hanged and decapitated by Antiseq extremists. Her head was never found.
5. Sly Keats of Luna joined in 2227 and died in 2229, eaten by piranhas on a mission in the Amazon to assassinate a woman whose musical releases drove people insane.
6. John Dane Fetching, current Borknagar from the Isle of Man joined in 2229.

## Behind the Scenes

Borknagar is named after a Norwegian experimental metal band.
Kyryll

The Kyryll, or "Carrier Odyn" is Sasha's flagship. The Kyryll is a walking aircraft carrier designed for travel in the African jungle.

When Sasha rose through the ranks of the Kinshasa army, he was inspired upon taking Moukala by a young soldier who commented that if he could seize Moukala with only an army of children and microwaves, he would be able to take the entire region with only one carrier. He called for reinforcements and ensured Kinshasa would send a carrier. They send the Liwanga.

With the Liwanga expecting a hostile force, they allowed Sasha and his team aboard. Sasha immediately killed their captain and seized the ship for himself. Converting the crew to Christianity, he prevented further dissent and only had to execute four of the most loyal Kinshasa fighters.

## Spoilers

In 2230, Sasha's forced managed to steal a Mjölnir device from Udachnaya. Sasha had the device mounted on the Kyryll and began destroying armored UNEGA outposts along the Congo river. Shortly after, Mishka apparently managed to steal another Mjölnir device from Valhalla. Sasha ordered it mounted on the Kyryll as well but was unaware it was a dummy device containing Balder. Balder's intel after his escape with Vibeke lead to Sasha and the Kyryll's downfall when Valhalla came in full force to defeat them.

The Kyryll has a sister ship called the Danyl, which Balder's intel did not register. The Kyryll suffered a gentler fate than the Danyl after the events of 2230 when it was repaired and reinducted into the Kinshasa army.

## Behind the Scenes

The Kyryll is named for a monk in Tarkovsky's "Andrei Rublev." The shape of the Kyryll's deck resembles a Russian Cross.
Iwo Donatsu

Iwo Donatsu is a toroid shaped rare-sulfur-isotope mine balloon floating in the atmosphere of Venus.

## Spoilers

Wulfgar sets up his base of operations there after the events of Valhalla. Dr. Mowat attends to his wounds there.

## Behind the Scenes

Iwo Donatsu is Japense for "Sulfur Donut."

The theory of a floating balloon in the atmosphere of Venus is being developed at NASA/JPL.
June MacRae

June MacRae is the mother of Violet MacRae, and wife of Nelson MacRae. She was born June Starling in Glasgow. June had a violent streak in her youth and was very much like her daughter, but unlike Violet she chose to be recalibrated before her adulthood tests.

June Starling's Family Tree: (Middle names appear beneath boxes)

## Behind the Scenes

The name "Starling" is a reference to The Silence of the Lambs.

The idea that June was once more like her daughter but got reclaibrated was the headcanon of sky-fi-fangirl on tumblr, who mentioned it to the author. Bach immediately deemed it canonical.
Expansion Missiles

Expansion missiles are missiles that use ITT to be stored as compact bodies little larger than their fuel and explosive payload. The typical expansion missile is one centimeter and 2mm in diameter before deployment, and about five centimeters long and one centimeter in diameter once launched. They are comparable to small grenades in explosive delivery, but have a habit of embedding themselves inside the object they're fired at before detonating. Thus the blast is often internal, and damage to a human body is inevitably fatal.

See also: Expansion round.
Hellhammer

Hellhammer is the head of Haglaz team. A large and imposing man with a deep voice, he's among the smartest Valkyries and is an astounding inventor. His name was originally Tyrone Sledge, and he was born in the City of Bone (Called Annaba in 2015, no relation to the book).

His Tikari is a fly/knife, his armor is dark grey, and his avatar is a hellish hammer.
Israeli Crateria

After centuries of war, the region formerly known as Israel and Palestine, along with much of the surrounding middle east, has found peace at last in the form of a crater riddled landscape not unlike Luna. A few people and a few structures remain, including the Dome of the Rock, in which lives a single lonely hermit. Gehenna and Opeth are from the region.

Alf's Black Book

Alf kept his nuclear intel in a handwritten black book near the top of his library.

Alf was always obsessed with nuclear weaponry. Treating the subject with a religious sense of awe, he carefully logged each bit of information he ever came across concerning the state of the nuclear weapons across the globe. He calculated which had gone defunct, which remained potent, which were likeliest to launch. He detailed each base, each warhead type, he even studied and copied down the subatomic particles in all the detail Valfar shared with him.

The Black Book was thus a sort of sacred text within a hobby. It held no place of honor nor did Alf spend an inordinate amount of time working on it, but it held some of his finest artwork in depicting maps, a curiously intricate cypher of handwriting so bad it could be considered a work unto itself, and even drawings, dozens of them, depicting the mushroom clouds and cores and aftermaths of famous tests, and of those two dropped in the war.

## Spoilers

Alf knew when the bomb burst in Prešov that the world wouldn't last a great deal longer. But he watched the endless angles and satellite images and read the reports with a sense of contentment. He lived to see the beginning of the end, and it would end in nuclear flames. Though he couldn't foresee that he would die within hours of the book's theft at the hands of Valknut team, he died with a sense of deep closure and gratitude.
Marduk

Marduk is a member of M Team. He was born Elton Veland in Norge. His Tikari is a moth/shuriken. His armor is vermillion, and his avatar is the Mothman.

## Behind the Scenes

Marduk is named for the Swedish Black Metal band Marduk. His real last name, Veland, is a reference to Morten Veland, a Norwegian musician from Gothic Metal bands Tristania, Mortemia, and Sirenia.
Nanotech

Nanotech has mostly medical applications, cellular level repair and such. It’s also used for installation of nervous hardware like links. No self replicating nanotech exists and it’s prohibited by law. Some underground doctors have dabbled in it but as the means to create viable nanotech is easy to track and hard to forge, it’s very uncommon those police departments get a call.

The machinery used to manufacture circuitry could also be considered nanotech, but again it’s simply very small machinery, not tiny self contained robots as are commonly meant.

Genetically engineered organic nanoforms are more common. After the post-antibiotic age most medical outlets began using electronic antibiotics.

The implant mechanics of Transcription bubbles can be considered a form of nanotech.
Mannaz

**Mannaz** Team or "M Team" is Valhalla's 15th team. It consists of Mishka, Marduk, Motoko and Mortiis.

## Spoilers

After the events of Valhalla, Mannaz Team refilled with Morten and Molotov.

After the events of Ragnarök, Mannaz Team continued to expand with Marko, Moloko, Marvin, Margot, Magorian, Mary, Mace, Mist, Marcus, Mason, Massive, Mork, Mindy, Massif and Madrid.
ITT

Integrated Telescopic Technology (ITT) is a mechanism allowing extremely strong metals to telescope into themselves seamlessly. Thus an expansion round can take up only a fraction of the space it takes up once fired, and a Tikari can have small wings in flight that telescope into large blades when compacted.
Events

This is a list of events in the Valhalla universe. Each event contains major **SPOILERS.**

Actually the names of the events have spoilers too. Spoilers everywhere! Auuughhh! Spoilers!!!

Gossamer

The first screenplay draft of Valhalla was called "Gossamer" and covered the material from the start of Ragnarök to the end of Guðsríki. It was intended as a spy film, but Hollywood ignored it and Bach decided to try it as a novel. It expanded into what is now the Valhalla trilogy.

The main character was still named Violet and several plot events remain, but many of the details and larger concepts were added when the script was adapted into novel form. These include:

* The walruses were originally penguins
* The BIRP was an SR-71
* The story took place in the 1970s.
Adulthood tests

Adulthood tests or Maturity Tests are a long series of tests and brain and body scans that constitute the common barrier to adulthood in UNEGA owned countries and companies. Some are math and logic puzzles, but these are fairly simple as math and advanced logic are assumed to be taken care of by the link or brain software.

Most of the testing is home-ec and health focused. It tests skills for everyday living, and the subject's maturity level to make sure they’re developed enough to function independently, handle things like driving a pogo (if they chose to learn to do so), having sex responsibly, entering politics, eating healthily, and above all choosing more advanced education.

Some things like sexual maturity and some sectors of education include physical scans and brainscans to see that one has very literally matured and is no longer developing. A very smart child might pass everything mental at 11 but would not be able to pass the test until they were physically mature. Such a child might accept a “pass-minus” in order to pursue advanced education early, and then test into the other maturities later in life.

Much of the testing is to determine what the subject would enjoy doing, be good at, and so on. Some is like the MMPI, and there is a Verhoeven Violent Predilection Test (Which Violet barely passes, and doesn’t pass at full marks that would allow her to be a police officer).

One can take the tests ad infinitum, and can also accept half passes, such as a pass minus the right to drink alcohol without an absorption implant if one has a dependency prone physiology, or a pass minus the right to handle firearms if one doesn’t mark low enough on the VVPS. Violet was thus a pass-minus rather than a full adult. This is rare as most people will have themselves reprogrammed to pass fully, and somewhat stigmatized though it’s easy enough to keep secret provided one doesn’t try to do what they’re not allowed to.

If one ranks too highly on the VVPS, they may be subject to neurorecalibration.

Being “mostly” mature is very uncommon and manifests the first sign of Violet’s more intense individuality and assertive nature, she’d rather be who she is than be someone slightly different who’s allowed to follow in her father’s footsteps.

There are many subsequent tests such as the license to drive a pogo and the right to have children. The first adulthood tests were primarily concerned with childbearing, but by 2190 adulthood tests were no longer concerned with childbirth licensing, that was delayed for a second set of tests to be applied separately for after attaining adulthood. They no longer have any particularly political or antireligious biases.

The results of the adulthood tests, when successful, are the first reports a person receives on their own rather than being received by their parents.
Geki

The Geki are two (or possibly more) black cloaked figures that cause fear in anyone near them, and are rumored to destroy people with controlled fire. They enforce The Treaty.

## Spoilers

### Valhalla

The Geki visited Valhalla to question V Team regarding the Siege of Udachnaya.

### Ragnarök

This article contains some of the most severe spoilers on the entire wiki. If you have not finished all three books you are **strongly** advised not to read further.

When the Geki took Veikko to their citadel located deep within the Rocky Mountains, he learned that the fear they inspire is caused by a Farnesene Pulse and their fire attack is based on an implant.

Using anger to subvert their fear, he managed to kill one of them and steal her fire implant. He let the citadel burn and escaped.

Later when he attempted to use the implant, the other Geki appeared and burned him half to death. Varg then flew into the arcology atrium with the BIRP and cut the remaining Geki in half, saving Veikko briefly only to kill him moments later.

### Guðsríki

The first Geki were Jessica and Andrew Geki, who slaughtered a church in Puma County in revenge for the death of their baby. Hundreds of years later when GAUNE and UNEGA needed to quash religious rebellions, they resurrected the name for their super-warriors.

Over time, Geki included Maggie, Varg, and Nelson MacRae. The latter two relocated to Luna after the events of 2233.

## Behind the Scenes

The name Geki derives from Star Wars and Japanese Cinema. A "Jidaigeki" is the Japanese term for a period epic. George Lucas took the first half of the name "Jidai" for his heroes. Bach took the latter half of the name "Geki" for these characters.

Though the image of black cloaked characters is ancient and well used by among others, the Nazgul, the Sith and grim reaper, the Geki in Valhalla were most directly based on the twin treaty enforcers from the Night Watch series.
Cody

Cody Sparks was a pastor in Puma County in 2006. His son was Ryan Sparks.

Shortly after June 6th, 2006, Cody and his son visited Jessica knowing her baby had been born on 6/6/06. As a result, he believed the child to be the antichrist, and proceeded to smash the child to death. Jessica and her husband would later murder the father and son at their church.
Hetfield

Hetfield is a member of Haglaz team. He is covered in burn scars. His name was originally James Cartman, and he comes from San Francisco. His Tikari is a fly/knife, his armor is red black and white tartan, and his avatar is a torch.

## Behind the Scenes

Hetfield is named after Metallica's lead singer. The fire references relate to an incident in which said singer caught on fire on stage.
Lethean River Company

The Lethean River Company was a pharmaceutical manufacturer that V Team hunted during their Project Nepenthe. They manufactured the memory drug that had caused brain death in nearly half of its users. They used the Yakuza to distribute the drug, and worked with Hokkaido Joe as their contact within them.

## Behind the Scenes

The company is named after a track from Norwegian Gothic metal band Tristania's album, "Beyond the Veil." 'Lethean' refers to the river Lethe, which erased the memory of all who drank from it in Greek mythology.
Link

~~Link is a boy from Hyrule who~~ Links are brain implant devices that let users interface with the net. Links can broadcast a low energy signal or tap into the global powered internet. They can be used to communicate, immerse ones self in cyberspace, or simple look up materials and use online programming. They normally supply the date and time to users.

The link itself appears as an antenna, usually behind the left ear of the user. The end of the antenna can be pulled out to hardwire into interfaces or other links. Inside the brain, a network of wiring extends through the cortex to read and write information.

Link signals are generally constant to the average individual. Link signs appear on most walls, things dump information into your head when you wonder about them, and so on.

Links are installed with a branching wetware system that’s implanted behind the ear. The tendrils are self guiding and find the correct brain structures then grow into them, and continue to grow as the brain develops. It’s usually done around age 3 when pre-school begins.

Links translate the binary of cyberspace into brain code so it gets delivered by wetware into the cortices responsible for sight and hearing, or into the brain’s holonomic memory so that one can “know” things from it.

As such, when someone contacts an individual by link, they hear them exactly the same way they hear their own inner monologue, and they can look up words to know them without resorting to text iterations of the words. They just wonder into their link what a word means and then they know it.

The brain hardware, or wetware, that stems from the link is a series of wires that slip into critical nuclei (as in CNS ganglions, not cell nuclei) in the brain. If one got their link ripped out it would look like a bunch of little gold wires coming out of the antenna. These work entirely on synaptic impulse. When one sees an avatar get brain code ripped out online, that means the synaptic impulses are getting translated into binary and represented as random looking code. Their brain gets sucked part-way into the net and erased from the inside out.

Ingwaz

Ingwaz is a retired rune, whose team was assembled after Mannaz but before Othala. They never lasted beyond being a Junior Team, but gained heavy combat experience in one of their earliest missions. This resulted in their permanent deaths and their faces were never found.
I Team consisted of Ivan, Isaac, Irene and iPod.
First world cold war

The First World Cold War was an escalation of tensions between the countries of Earth over a division between Christian theocracy in the west and Muslim theocracy in the east. It ended when simultaneous revolutions on both sides of the globe removed the theocratic rulers from office and banned religion altogether.

MLA

Modified Land Algae is a green moss-like substance based on Earth algae that pumps out extraordinary amounts of oxygen. Essentially a living air buffer, the substance is common throughout Martian colonies such as Barsoom. Terraforming companies are looking for ways to coat mars in the substance, but it has always failed to grow outdoors. Attempts to modify it to do so resulted in the fungal white weed.

## Behind the Scenes

MLA is not to be confused with the Modern Language Association or its popular essay format.
Bathory

Bathory is a name given to members of Berkanan team when they are inducted after the death of the previous member of that name. Subsidiary B Team members always have yellow armor, termite/boomerang Tikaris, and use obsidian black avatars online.

Bathories thus far include:

1. Elizabeth Steppe of Romania, who joined in 2207 and died of complications from a papercut in 2209.
2. Danny Hampstead, who joined in 2209 and died in 2211 when microwaved by Kastro Gump when attempting to seduce him to learn the secret behind his popular brand of hard candies (The secret was human baby brown fat).
3. Dimentia, origin unknown, who joined in 2211 and died shortly before Vibeke's arrival in 2230 when burned to death in an incinerator on a mission to destroy a spam factory.
4. Mulligan Lilt, current Bathory from Spain.

## Behind the Scenes

Bathory is named for the ultra-influential Swedish metal band Bathory. Sorry 'Liz.
Cloutier

Chuck Cloutier was an author from the 2060s. His writings had so many twists of epic proportions and unlikely poetic justices that his death at the hands of his frustrated readers was judged worthy of his own works.

His works include:

* Antechamber (2061)
* The Maze Series (2063-2065)
	+ The Foyer (2063)
	+ The Library (2063)
	+ The Kitchen (2064)
	+ The Basement (2064)
	+ The Vault (2065)
* The Thumb Drive Of Saluko Jones (2066)
* Automatic Death (2066)
* The Earwax Trilogy (2066-2067)
	+ Earwax (2066)
	+ Earwaxnarök (2066)
	+ Guðsearwax (2067)
* The Blue Recruit (2068)
* The Book Reviewer Who Was Found With His Lungs Ripped Out (2068)
* It Stands To Reason (2068)
* The Transhumanist Trilogy (2068-2069)
	+ H+ (2068)
	+ Mutagen (2069)
	+ The Beast of Hollington Grove (2069)
* The Tower of Babel (Unreleased due to the death of the author)

Though Cloutier's Maze Series is considered one of the grand classics of literature, his Transhumanist Trilogy proved so convoluted that a group of his fans calling themselves "The Blue Recruits" (Named for what was generally considered his last great novel) broke into his house and tied him up with a computer power cable. He was tortured for several hours as the Blue Recruits demanded explanations of his final work and its plot holes. When disappointed they gave him papercuts using the handwritten manuscript of The Tower of Babel, which one of the recruits read during the torture, concluding it was "average with some neat chases."

## Spoilers

Violet stored several of his books in partitioned memory for the trip to Mars.

## Behind the Scenes

Chuck Cloutier is named after Chuck Palahniuk and poker player T. J. Cloutier. It can be assumed Bach was watching The 2007 World Series Of Poker when the scene was written.

Arcolochalsh

Arcolochalsh is an arcology in Kyle City. Its 76th and 201st floors are massive atria, and it has a GET station on its roof. Each of its apartments also has an external pogo port. It houses about half a million people, and has a sister arcology across the Loch called Arcoakin, which is identical in design.

The 193rd floor of Arcolochalsh is home to the MacRae and Fraser families. Though it's near the top of the arcology, it's not one of the more expensive apartments, which are located on rings around the 60th and 170th floors. The ground floor also has twenty massive mansions at the rim, while the lobby and urban centers (including cyberlounges) are located closer to the center. The most affordable sectors are those closest to the 100th floor.

Arcolochalsh was built in the years from 2190-2195, shortly after Arcoakin was completed. The time was a massive population explosion due to the opening of the Isle of Skye to new construction, which had previously been prohibited to preserve the natural island.

The two arcologies are the largest buildings in Arcolochalsh, though the Skye Needle and Highland Spring tower are taller. Together the arcologies hold about half of Kyle City's population.

## Spoilers

In 2232, Violet returned to the arcology with Vibeke and Veikko to find safety from Valhalla's death sentences for her and Veikko. After VIolet and Vibeke planned and departed for Dimmuborgir, Veikko headed to the 76th floor atrium to test the Geki flame implant. It immediately summoned the remaining Geki who burned Veikko to a cinder and lit the arcology on fire. Varg flew in with the BIRP through the atrium wall, cutting the Geki in half before it could extinguish the flames. The arcology burned down over the next few hours as Geki fire can indeed melt steel beams. Thanks to the arcology's exceptional safety designs, very few were harmed in the collapse. Violence however reigned in the area after the arcology fell, with thousands entering the broken building as looters.

Localized Viral Resequncing Cream

Localized viral resequncing cream is a cosmetic invented in 2089 that cured acne almost universally by turning *Propionibacterium acnes* into a healthy substrain preventing outbreaks. Though minuscule debris and such can still cause renegade pimples, they are nearly instantly treated though with advancing cream, which basically speeds up the healing process to last an hour instead of days.

*Propionibacterium acnes* is incredibly rare as a result of a century of viral resequencing, but it’s making a minor comeback in 2230 due to the anti-seq movement, which believes topical viral resequencing causes more problems than it solves. There is a religion based in the anti-seq movement known as the “Cult of the Pustulent Macroprosopus,” which believes that because man was made in God’s image, God must therefore have some pretty bad acne. Therefore it is prohibited within the cult to cure one’s own pimples.

According to their holy book, *The Gospel According To A Dermatologist*, the face of the supreme being is supremely oily and contains ten divine zits, known as the Sephirobuncles. These swollen emanations of the holy one each have names and can be prayed to depending on diverse situations, for instance one might call upon the power of Marmak-Al-Jussohar (Roughly translated, “The zit on the nose under the glasses pads that really hurts”) to guarantee success on a school test or quiz.

But the cult is, in 2230, facing a terrible schism. It seems some followers have split off to follow Jebediah Noxzema, who claims to be the second coming of the Clearasil. The Catechism of the CotPM explains that one day the Clearasil will return and only by its alcoholic stinging grace can the face of the Lord be cleansed, thus ridding the world of evil and impurity. Jebediah Noxzema, in blasphemously claiming to be the Clearasil, challenged the cult’s leaders and was accordingly crucified on a giant facial sponge. This only encouraged the schismatics who have founded their own cult, “Noxzemanity,” which believes based on *“The Passion Of The Clearasil”*that the Clearasil has risen after three days of morning and night application, cleaning the face of God and popping the Demon Blackhead, who shall languish in the pit of Neutrogena where there is naught but fire and a great gnashing of follicles.
Borr

Borr was a mercenary who fought in the Paroxysmal Holocaust. He lead an order of three teams of eight each, with the others run by Bestla and Vili. When the holocaust ended, Borr and the others set up in a new location- the ravine on Kvitøya. He and the others treated the residents poorly to say the least.

When on a mission in Los Angeles, a young Alf killed one of Borr's men. Borr took Alf on a student. Alf killed half of Borr's team on his first night in the ravine. Borr was only made proud and as Alf grew older, Borr became infatuated with him. In time, he learned from Alf that the order could be a far better thing. When Alf dared to challenge the order, only Borr stood by his side.

Borr was killed by Vili, who was killed by Alf. In his last moments, Borr encouraged Alf to disassemble the previous order and create his own.
Farnesene Pulse

## Spoilers

The Farnesene Pulse is a gland implanted into the neck of a user which secretes Farnesene, a Sesquiterpene that causes fear in all exposed to it. The pulse gland uses a Omega Wave Field pulse to force the chemical into anyone within a user determined range.

Alpha

## Spoilers

Alpha was Valknut Team's first project of their own initiative and design. Its purpose was to observe the Orange Gang, and subsequently to take down the gang and capture Wulfgar.

### Prelude to Alpha

Valknut began by interviewing Dagaz, who had lost one of their members in attempting the same mission. Informed that Dorian had survived as long as he stuck to dead drops, V elected to use them exclusively in favor links.

### Project Alpha

The operation began when Violet headed to Achnacarry to be found by one of her former instructors, Sgt. Jack Cameron. She was invited to dinner and took the opportunity. Meanwhile, Vibeke faked Veikko's backstory, making his record that of Will Rickman, a Kyle police officer. She faked his searches for Violet and planed information appearing as him finding her in Achnacarry. He then contacted Wulfgar through a covert personal ad taken out as a reward for Violet, alive.

He then took Violet from Jack Cameron's house and headed to the Straw House pub. Violet feigned surprise and betrayal as she was turned over to the Orange Gang. Veikko was then in the gang's good graces. Violet on the other hand was taken to Wulfgar's warehouse in Jylland and tortured to death, Wulfgar eating some of her hand and neck in the process. He then killed her.

Varg switched Violet's corpse for a matching fake body. She was restarted back in Valhalla. Veikko began by observing and reporting, but given the nature of the gang's acts, they couldn't stay inactive for long. They began to act by stopping some of his small time operations, and getting some of his men arrested. Alopex monitored for global changes resulting form their actions and found none. In time, Orange Gang was reduced to a thin shadow of its former self.

Finally, V Team elected to end the gang by having half their members arrested at the opera. The remaining members launched an attack on the police force that arrested them, but Veikko made sure it was ineffective. The last members got massacred and V Team moved in to capture Wulfgar. They did so with minimal problems, Vibeke was only briefly killed.

### Aftermath

Wulfgar was imprisoned in a walrus cage, and then in a prison built specifically for him. When Mishka's Tikari detonated in an attempt to kill Vibeke, Wulfgar escaped the ravine and was picked up by his men from Iwo Donatsu. Injured and dead, he was fixed quickly as much as possible, then spent the next year still half broken and hiding.

Kyle is the first Chapter of Valhalla.

It takes place from the evening of January 3rd, 2230 through January 18th, 2230.

## Synopsis

In Kyle City in 2230, Violet and her family discuss her future. She's just passed her adulthood tests and has no ideas for a profession. Her violent predilections prevent her from following in her father's footsteps as a police officer. As the family talks, Hrothgar Kray and his men melt the family's door and assassinate Violet's parents. As they attempt to crucify her father, Violet finds she's strangely calm and capable. She attacks the men, killing Hrothgar and his henchmen. She then waits patiently for the police to arrive.

The police tell Violet about her father and the gang he was trying to take down. They don't tell her everything, leaving out the details of her father's operation, and the theft of his body. They try to console her but find her uninterested in being consoled, and more interested in picking up where her father left off in his investigation. Meanwhile, Wulfgar, Hrothgar's brother, mourns but bides his time waiting for an opportunity for revenge, rather than clumsily attacking Violet outright. With no life prospects and skills limited to killing people, Violet elects to apply for military service.

## Behind the Scenes

### Notes

While most of Valhalla had two or three drafts, Kyle had well over twenty, including drafts with an introduction to the world of 2230 and drafts in which the attack on the MacRaes was not depicted, but delayed for a flashback in the final chapter.

Kyle City is depicted as a massive and dense metropolis with two arcologies. This stands in contrast to the 2005 reality of the area during which Bach visited. The area in fact has a population of under 1,000. The Skye Bridge demolished in the chapter was newly built at the time of the author's visit.

### References

Officer Lochroch's name is a play on Keystone, a popular slapstick comedy about inept police officers.

Beta

## Spoilers

Beta was a Valknut Team project to kill Sasha and Mishka in coordination with B, H, R, S and T Teams.

### Prelude to Beta

It began with a break-in attempt at Special Arsenal Seven. V Team was assigned to investigate, and found that a small force has indeed tried to steal a Mjölnir device. They were sent to Udachnaya to secure their Mjölnir devices, where they were caught in a massive and successful attempt to steal one of them.

Upon their return home, they began to suspect Mishka was behind the plots. Vibeke posed as her lover and discovered that she was indeed betraying the ravine for her brother, who was attempting to recolonize Africa.

V Team managed to set up a transfer in which Vibeke and Balder (Who was inside a fake Mjölnir system) were taken to Sasha's carrier where the latter could gather intel. The two then escaped, revealing their true nature to Mishka and Sasha. Mishka managed to destroy Vibeke's Tikari during their departure in a walking tank.

### Project Beta

Plans to take Sasha down were made and V Team made certain to volunteer to assassinate the brother and sister. B Team would run offensive ops, H would steal back the Mjölnir, R would be on hand for rescue, S would destroy the carrier, and T would steal a few tanks.

The mission was launched and largely successful. Vibeke killed Sasha and took Mishka's eye using her dead Tikari, but Mishka escaped. A brief moment of concern occurred when a second carrier unknown to the Valkyries appeared, but Violet managed to take it down single handedly and partly by mistake, killing dozens of its crew and destroying it utterly with a thermite bomb over its fuel tank.

### Aftermath

Alf made certain that Sasha's doings in Africa didn't last. V Team captured Marduk and imprisoned him with Wulfgar. Mishka however sent her Tikari on kamikaze mode to kill Vibeke, instead killing Marduk and setting Wulfgar free. Vibeke got a new Tikari in the attempt to catch him.

One of Sasha's men from the second carrier survived, smashed in a comatorium.
Contact barriers

Contact barriers are a cyberspace protocol that prevents users from manipulating another user unless they consent by making physical contact. Once two avatars touch, they can load information into the other users mind, or take them to locations online. Avatars cannot touch without both willing to do so.

The only exception to this rule occurs on the Black Crag, where for reasons unknown even to Valkyries (Prior to 2232), avatars can touch, hack and even kill each other without any safeguards.
East Coast Megalopolis

The East Coast Megalopolis consists of Boston, New York CIty, Philadelphia Baltimore and Washington D.C., and their surrounding regions and states. It is one of the largest urban regions in the world, and is barely separated from Toronto, the merger of which would make it the largest by far. It is one of the most advanced regions of GAUNE.
Death

Death is the head of D team. She tends to dress dark, and is known for her light voice. She has the ravine's only dual bug Tikari, two moths that dock in her scapulae, and can form a large Scythe, the largest Tikari weapon. Hrothgar Kray killed her parents and she had hoped for revenge, but Violet beat her to it.

Her name was Setsuko Karite, she was born in Tenkoutaigo. Her armor is black and her avatar is the grim reaper.

## Behind the Scenes

Setsuko is named for the sister Setsuko in Grave of the Fireflies, her last name means "Reaper."

Death's ankh necklace is a reference to Death from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series.
Fang freighter

The Fang Freighter is the Unspeakable Darkness's largest vessel. It is equipped with a siphon and massive storage tanks. It's nearly impossible to break into, it's newly assembled and deconstructed around its crew each time it takes flight.

## Spoilers

It was present at the Battle of Prešov to siphon and steal the Ares from the Yakuza.

It was vaporized in the nuclear blast that ended the battle.
Gullinkambi

The Gullinkambi program is a system capable of revealing hidden material in protected sites. It appears as a blue rooster icon. V Team offers it to Yoshi as payment for searching The Black Crag.
