Elui turned to Amenon:

Alas, such warfare amongst the younger races...If only they all knew that peace was better in the long run we would have no need of war.

A lesson we learned all to late perhaps, as the Laminari. When we built monsters that lurk on roads long ago deserted.

Amenon wondered on the words of wisdom from Elui. "But not all of us are unified and willful enough to abandon a world for a nomadic life and as long as that is the case there are innocent citzens hat must be protected from the evils of the universe. As much as we do not want to war is sometimes forced upon us."

Not everything is hopeless younger one. Look at our civilization and how it flourishes in peace, hidden from other eyes, impossible it seemed that 'gods from the sky' could come down and eat with you as equals correct?

Laminad brought us this peace, and it will spread through the galaxies like a vine from our ships.

Hope is something that defies possibility. And Peace is the product of Hope.

By becoming the image of peaceful gods, and having them follow in your tracks :p

IC: The admiral received the call. The asteroid field was set, as were the devices. He looked out his window as several freighters pulled past, to head into the nebula. Minutes later, the flagship, two destroyers, and six cruisers led the freighters in. Appearing on the other side after two hours of travel, the admiral gave the word. The devices were set, as were the bouys and scout drones. The admiral watched as the hologram mirrored external events around his ship. He watched the blips as the devices were positioned, angled to perfection by drones. Suddenly, a massive blip appeared. He knew what it was. He knew what it could do. As the devices were finished being positioned, he ordered the fleet to pull out of the way. The devices were activated, the lights upon them glowing a wonderful blue as energy surged through them. The fleet moved out to a safe distance, and the devices were out of reach from the monstrosity...

lol how would you know if these "youger races" would even care about your ideals of peace? there will always be conflict, and always a reason for war. You can't have auniverse filled with peace. You aren't even considering the many many variables that could lead to war or useless fighting or heck, killing off entire species. There is, and will be, no peace.
And darkknight, I'm not attacking your planet. You actually attacked me. lol i'm not the one who charged weapons first. all i did was turn off the screen. XD

IC: "Target the larger ships with the beam cannons. Ignore the ones with their sides to us. They'll have to face us directly if they want to attack." commanded Reverana.
"Affirmative. Changing targets." replied the enigeer. The beam turrets stopped and went for the ships at the sides.
"Gunnery Control, power-up the photon wave. Commence plasma core distortion." The ship began to arc with energy and a blue filter of liquid-like energy began to cover the super destroy as the plasma core's energy began to back up. All firing stopped and the Neptune super destroyer sat there motionless. Now the ship wasn't even visible, as the filter covered every inch of the vessel.

OOC: What do you use to power your ships? electricity? cause the result of my actions will require this info. XD

Oh, your in for it now! >:D

IC: The admiral watched as a large, large portal ripped open in the nebula. Suddenly, a massive amount of asteroids of varying size move through. Suddenly, all sight was blotted out as the rocks covered the selected area. With glimpses of blue between the rocks, the devices roared, their fury silent in the void of space. cords, with blue chevroned tips, grappled onto rocks, pulling them in, and spinning them. The devices roar to their loudest, the rocks becoming blurs in their three peiced inner rings, a glorious blue halo circling the rocks. Within moments of the activation, rocks began to be shot into the fog. Nothing was heard, yet the action of watching the devices grab rocks with their multiple grappling cords, spiining them to insane speeds, and blasting them into the distance like bullets was amazing. The admiral smiled. The first smile in several days, as he watched his glorious creations, things thought of by his own mind, begin the assault on the object. Knowing the general size of the object, and the supposed reach of the object, he knew that they were over 5 times that distance, and far enough away that if it did try to move towards the launchers, that they would run out of rocks before then, be pulled back, and the fleet would withdraw in unable to destroy or disable the object. But for now, he laughed his cunning laugh as he thought of the power his new tools gave him.

OOC: Elenai, your up! :D

er... they are being sent to the biological station that the Luminari used to own, yet abondoned it to the control of an insane Kraken. Hopefully, it won't register the asteroids as an attack, and leave most (if not the first wave) alone :p Either way, this will be quite the atteck >:3 yay next step into a chapter! :D)

OOC: Don't forget, even though my race is decently high advanced, they are still being ruled by one ruler (the emperor), so, they can make it look like anything realy, they could even say that you ambushed us and destroyed half the fleet etc.)

IC: Now also the larger ships started to move apart from eachother and started forming a ring around the thinest part of the ship, constantly changing speed in order to not get hit while the fighters kept slicing through the hull
Then, suddenly a certain stationary base started having massive energy spikes, the same as would be seen in a wormhole, and now the energy signature of yet another ship could be seen (Kamica's ship ^^)
"Man all combat posts, deploy fighters, hail the lead ship" Kamica yelled the orders, he then said to Mapai "Enter combat mode" and suddenly his seat was raised into a cockpit control unit (same as in fighter craft), fighters started swarming out from the ship while the wormhole behind it started to collapse
"This is fleet leader rank 5 Ikai nolar, we are currently engaging the unknown vessle that has entered our system with ranged weaponry and has refused to leave the system"
"This is battleship captain rank 1 Kamica Anera, understood we will help to engage, I will join the current circle formation" "Negative battleship captain, you are to find the generator of these materialization units, your prototype AI is best for that" "Understood" He turned off the screen and started giving orders again "Start fighter scanning grid, try to find where the energy for the materialization of the weaponry comes from"

OOC: Our ships are powered by a fusion generator, in other words, yes mostly electricity, though EMP won't be working, becouse it has a shield against that (else my ships would fail with every solar flare..) and... how thick is your outer hull armor btw?

OOC: Silly Var...this monstrosity was built as a trade fortress, with a living AI...of course it will register environmental threats against the trade route. :p

On a side note, how did you create a portal?

IC:

Environmental Alert: Registered: Comet Field inbound...calculating...calculating...

Trajectory set. Arboreal Intelligence - AI controls authorized.

Targets located, and locked.


Send forth my hands...the kraken shall abate this hail of nature's arrows...

The AI's cold eyes glowed in the depths of the core, thrusting his hand forward with an air of a frozen, robotic countenance...and he watched as his monstrous body of cellulose began its defense...against what he thought was a strange occurrence of nature.

My body of bio-steel, grow and be under my command. Cells of iron, obey the mind that wills you.

The deep reverberation of his voice echoed throughout the vast heart of the monstrosity, and with his command, the manual cellular controls were activated...he was ready for the first wave with shield in hand.

_________

Outside of the moon sized sphere of destructive tenancy, large spherical gates opened all across the surface, like docking bays, and tiny vines of tempered bio-steel came spindling out like strands cast from a spider.

They wrapped around each other and formed hundreds of tight, cellulose-iron muscular tentacles, wrapped in a pulse shield glove, floating there in the silence of space ready to engage the onslaught of weaker rocks.

The first asteroid came within range...

CONTACT!

The AI shouted as a cellulose vine-like tentacle caught the fast flung asteroid in its flexible, tentalic grip, and whipped it back around, using its own momentum in space to hurtle it back with increased speed into the chasm of space, barely missing the device that threw it.

The next asteroid came, and the next, locked on, and in targeted range, their set trajectories calculated and planned for the in the advanced interfaces deep beneath the surface of "The Kraken", soon they were hurtled back with expert speed, and aimlessly thrown into space, one asteroid came barreling forth towards one of the ring devices, and in an explosion of blue and scarlet, it was broken to pieces, and caught in the orbit to adorn the Kraken's Girdle.

I AM THE KRAKEN! The AI yelled in the ancient Laminari tongue his booming, echoing, deep robotic voice blasting into space on all channels and frequencies, wrapped in a sinister delight of cold, hard, patronizing laughter of cynical doom.

IC: "Sir, they are trying to scan us." Hmm, good luck with that. Our hull disperses any scanning techniques. The only way to disable this ship is by coming on board. Reverana smiled. "Are we ready?" asked Reverana
"Yes sir." came the reply.
"Fire." THe super destroyer finished it's buildup and released it in one large blast. A large blue energy bubble shot outwards from the ship, enveloping all ships around it. Like a super nova, the blast fried the systems and left them sitting there. A large cloud was left in the blast's radius, and Reverana spoke another command. "Launch all ships!" Fighters began swarming out of the dokcing bays and flew through the cloud. The transports activated and flew out at a slower pace, with 10 fighters as escort. THe super destroyer began firing again, the rail guns tearing apart some of the disabled fighters as the rest swarmed around. The beam turrets still didn't reacivate.
"Report."
"All ships in close proximity were hit by the wave. They have been disabled. A new ship also jumped in. It's their reenforcements."
"Hmmm." Reverana looked at the 3-d map, seeing th new ship coming towards the circle and then stopping. "Have some ships retrieve the disabled ships. and have the rail guns take out the enemy fighters. Get some bombers out there too."

OOC: the large blue wave had so much energy built up from the power core, that it was able to go through the hull and cook all of the electronics. I'll assume the pilots were knocked out by the force of the wave, and that most of the cruisers weren't hit, noting that the fighters were much closer.

Very nice... The graphics on that was awesome! :p I could imagine every detail! It was like a movie almost ^^ (I figured my attack wouldn't work. But... I have to wonder. With the barrage of over 50 rocks at a time, wouldn't some get through?)

IC: The admiral's eyes narrowed as he saw the quick response of the object. "Impressive" he whispered, as he watched it's counter-assault. Turning to a panel on the wall, he clicked it. Giving orders, and returning to the show. Soon, all of the drones from the flagship (150), the two desroyers (200 total), and the 6 cruisers (90 total) whipped past his screen, into the fray.(A total of 440 drones :D) The Drone HUBs on the respective ships roared to ever growing caution as it projected the enviroment around the drones, calculating each position, and the best course of action to evade it. The drones swept into the field, evading the rocks drifting, being launched, and repelled, as the worked closer and closer to the object. As they neared, a massive barrage of rocks came hurtling towards the object as all 50-ish devices sent a planned assault on the object. (some would likely be able to get through, right?) A few grazed the object, but the drones split off, a few groups following the rocks to get better scans, the rest making their attack, as missiles and lasers were sent ramming into the materials of the object. The admiral, making sure the few drones left out of the battle, got a recorded video of the battle, close enough so that they could see the object, but far enough away to not be hit by it's tentecles. Various angles were applied, watching the movements made by the objects, itself playing catch with the devices, as well as the performace of the devices in their first battle. As the data was collected, he sent the order ti gave the devices up the scale of the attack to maximum capacity. He smiled a sly smile once more... "Lets see how you like this..."

So it was not from nature's bow that these darts were thus launched?

More prizes for my girdle...Laminad sends such gifts to me.

My servants shall make them feel the bite of their steel. All in good time.


The AI waved his hand and let some of the tentacles split from their muscular bindings, forming tiny spinnerets of bio-steel, barely noticeable on any scan. They formed a tightly knit, pulse-shield tempered net, and swooped across the field, trapping drones, and rocks alike. they were pulled close to the object's hull as an array of cannons peaked from the plant encrusted surface, and blasted away into the net of captured metal and rock.

While the AI was initiating this tactic, he sent another gathering of spindled vines, sneaking under the radar towards one of the cruisers that barreled towards him. And like a locust caught in the web, it ensnared itself right into the vines, and in the blink of a second the vines wrapped around each other again, and clenched themselves around the ship like a viral weed swallowing the stone in its path, thousands of thick, iron hard ropes of cellulose engulfed the ship and squeezed the comparatively thin hull in half. Fire and atmosphere bursting forth from its wreckage like blood from a fist clenched heart.

The engulfing tentacles reformed themselves back into a large tentacle and swept across the void, crushing drones in its path, like a foul hand clearing a chess board of pieces.

The AI sent forth a loud cry in his depraved enjoyment.

ARRAGH!

Ever onward, the bio-steel crust that encased the true monstrosity beneath, began to heal itself, like some ghastly vegetative skin, where the bombard of the missles and lasers could not reach, or had ceased in their focus.

OOC: Another awesome feature of being an advanced moon-sized biological construct :p Repairs are 'second nature'. *giggles*

The admiral frowned at this change in events. During the ensueing chaos, his drones managed to gather more in-depth scans of the object, reveling more of it's core functions. The drones that escaped the net continued to scan the surface of the object, and had nearly completed it when they were destroyed. The remaining drones around the fleet pulled the devices back in, leaving whatever rocks remained to drift towards the object. Watching the slaughter of the crew on the cruiser, it had happened far too quickly for the crew to evacuate. Just over 200 lives had been lost in that counterattack alone. The fleet withdrew, their project a relative success, and warped out from the nebula, returning with their findings.

OOC: uhg. You have a lot of tricks up your sleeves. :p But then again, with a weapon like that, I wouldn't expect anything but. :3 But, nonetheless, I think I have figured out a way to severely damage the object! >:D Oh, and your buddy there will be going public so no one goes into the nebula, never knowing if there are more of them lurking. :p I'll get my revenge... The crew's lives will not be in vain. :/

Still... well played :3

wow, Elenai. That was impressive. but I think you overdid it with the vine crushing rock, hand gripping heart, stuff. It was hard to read what was going on with all of those, I guess, metaphores. But still very good. I wonder how I would do against you. lol we do have beam cannons, and I'm surprised var hasn't used any yet. lol

OOC: I want those tentacles!!! They are the perfect melee weapons XD, and sacrid, that is part of Elenai's epicness XD, and it'll probably have some sort of defence against beam weaponry too..., such as mirrors =3)

IC: small fighter crafts started crashing into the giant ship, with their plasma wings still on (becouse they use valves(?) for the plasma to flow out), going straight through the hull, becouse of the strong design of the fighters, atleast 1000 out of 10000 survived it with minimal injuries and were able to get out, which they did after enough of the atmosphere had gotten out for them to not get sucked out, they drew their swords and ran through the corridors, looking for someone to fight or something to sabotage, further, the integrety of the shields of the battleships were severely compromised, none the less, they started to close in rapidly on the hull.

OOC: Long live turning events against someone =3)

The soldiers look at each other because of the power flickering on and off and wounder if they can radio back to hq. They try and attempt it.

As the message is sent, the radio starts clicking beeping, and making other noises. Then, they hear a very familiar rumbling...
..and a reply comes through the radio.
Sergeant: Where are you, idiots?!
As the soldiers attempt to reply, the beast roars loud enough to shake the radio's frequency. The sergeant hears the first part of the roar before it changes 'channels'.

OOC: lol DarkKnight. mirrors only reflect light. the beam weapons aren't light. they are energy that heats up metal and quickly cuts through it. If you need proof, google freespace intro. You'll see how effectivethey are. lol

they drew their swords and ran through the corridors, looking for someone to fight or something to sabotage
What? are they on my ship now? cause if they are, they're already dead. My ship has a huge differece in temperature, and I was kindof hoping you would board the ships through transports. The people who hit my hull, would probably be going very fast, and since the wave disabled their ships, I doubt that they would even be facing the same direction, as the force would knock them off course.

Amenon jerked back as a signal slammed into the small device attached to his ear allowing him to hear the translations. It was a horrible terrifying robotic voice as cold as the ice that plagues his planet. He staggered back ripping the device out of his ear as the robot replayed the message in the Ugrentien tongue. "What in the Great One's name was that!" His eyes showed true terror and his heart was pounding faster then it even had. The voice still echoed in his mind. "I AM KRAKEN!" He looked up at Elui. "What is Kraken?"

OOC: And sacrid you don't know if he was using suits or not.

I don't even see anything that says he boarded my ship. There was no mention of getting to the fighter bay (the only open spot at the moment) and no mention of suits. Now, I expect that the suits would be there cause some of them had to eject from their ships. Now, those space suits wouldn't help a bit because the temperature of my ship is easily 2000 degrees Ferenheit. Also, i found out that his species has spikes on their arms, legs and hands. how does that work with space suites?

Edit: DarkKnight, you should've mentioned them getting on. From what I read, i saw them smacking into the hull at 30 miles for hour. Nothing more.

I'd say the voice was more bestial, with a slight metallic reverberation :3 Gives an epic effect when used ^^

Also, about Sacrid's ship. Anyone trying to board would feel a sudden heat wave before any suits could adapt to the temerature.

IC: The admiral laid on his bed, his eyes closed. He felt the fluctuation as the ship exited subspace. Rising, he put his uniform back on, and set out to the bridge. After a talk with the High Councelor, and the exchenge in information and suggestions, he informed his crew that they had 3 days of leave before they had to go back to work. The crew smiled as he walked off the bridge, the admiral walking towards the hanger to take a shuttle down to the surface. Accompanied my a group of marines taking their leave, the shuttle exited the ship, flanked by the rest of the crew in other shuttles, and left the ship to go under three days of basic repairs.

OOC: Oh, Elenai, will I have a nice show for you... >:3 Your thing is going down. I am taking that nebula. >:D

Elui looked upwards, as if deep in a memory.

Kraken, it is a sea monster, or in this case...one of our ancient monstrosities, one of thousands of dark gifts that we left behind in our wake.

They became...too powerful...to silence, or to shut down...And soon they wrapped themselves in the nebulae, like squids hiding in their ink...

They wrap themselves in 'girdles' of wreckage, prized trophies of their victories. Ever onward devising new weapons in their bio-steel forges, and new tactics for obtaining them. The bigger the girdle, the more dangerous the foe.

This "Kraken" must be a newly uncovered, and recently victorious "Trade Fortress", as once we called them..."Path Guardians", "Shield Moons", other such names...

But now they are insane constructs of cellular-steel, like evil trees, rending the world with their roots, floating amidst orbiting halos of ancient ships, and cold debris.

This one appears to be bolder than the others. Perhaps it is more ambitious than we had anticipated.


____

Meanwhile:

____

Deep in his though the AI now named "Kraken", was gleefully scanning his new girdle.

Ah, the subtle hand, and the iron fist have served me well, and soon I shall obtain my other prizes...

He continued to scan, his eyes gazed at a large screen showing every region of space around him.

What is this? A bonus amongst my spoils...

He raised his hand and watched with thoughtfulness as three tentacles left their holdings, and ensnared a part of the broken cruiser that he had crushed.

It is still intact...I shall study this magnificent thing.

The tentacles drew the dead wreckage close, and into his storage docks. His servants surrounding it and tearing it apart piece by piece, sorting it, and throwing the scrap metal into the Recycling forge.

The AI began to laugh with devilish joy, over a magnificent new find.

ahaha...

OOC: >:3

His servants are lesser AI's he has forged over time. Every Monstrosity, is full of them, and of varying sorts.

oh god... what have you found now? D: ... aww hell..... -.- (think I know at least 3 things of what it could be. but... wait! I just remembered! The cruisers don't have Drone hubs! They just store 15 each, while a nearby ship controls them! :D So I don't have to worry about that one... :p)

IC: The transports landed, and stepping out, the admiral looked up at the blue sky outside the military hanger. Walking across the hanger, he sighed. He hoped his new plan would work. He couldn't afford to lose so much to one thing. And he needed to claim the nebula. Not because his empire was low of resources, but because they were always in search of a surplus of resources. A goodbye from the marines, a salute, and the marines got into a van to be dropped off at their homes. He was waved to his limo, and taken to his office, to sort out some paperwork. Actually, a lot of paperwork. He had lost over 200 people on that cruiser. He was going to have a painful, stressful 3 days. He just hoped he would be able to get some peace sometime and relax. But in the meantime, as he waited in his limo, heading to the HQ of BlackSun Corps, he closed his eyes, and waited. Unaware, was he, of the truck that was headed his way across the bridge... A horn. A scream, screeches, the slamming of brakes as the magnetic hover gear switched to reverse, the motors screeching to bring various vehicles to a halt. The roar of an engine, by the time he opened his eyes, it was too late. His eyes widened to horror....

OOC: Lol, a admiral that survived an encounter with the Kraken gets killed by a simple truck XD,
Fine, they did not enter your ship, instead, some ejected, most didn't and died imediatly, those who did survive, had one thruster burst, a transmitter and a limited supply of oxigen, they all tried to get to to safety, the fighters still did crash and go through the hull though >.<)

IC: Many fighters were lost, though nobody had time to mourn yet, the battleships were just a few meters removed from touching the hostiles hull, contact, throughout the enemy ship, an eerie sound could be heard of scratching, bending and ripping metal (or whatever material you use), like a giant inside-out circular saw, the ships cept going further into the surface of the ship, material flowing out, against their shields being either destroyed or bounced off.

OOC: Whahahahahahaha!!!)

OOC: Have you forgotten that my hull is strong? Not to mention that it's 20 FEET THICK? If any of your pilots hit my ship, they probably did so at easily 20 mph. They are broken, and in pain. And not to mention, they'd bounce. lol

MY Vultarans don't REQUIRE 2000 degree heat. But they prefer it. The normal temperature for them is about 500 degrees. It's only the extreme cold that would get to them, but since they generate so much heat, they can take lower temperatures than humans. lol The only reason they prefer to live at 2000 degrees is because of their planet's temperature. Their atmosphere alone would kill any of the other players who visited my planet. lol

IC: "Do we have power for the cannons?" asked Reverana.
"Yes, sir. just got it back." came the reply. The hull of the ship glowed with weapons.
"Aim for the front cruiser and do a sweep to the back. I don't car how fast it goes." The beam weapons fires, a long line of energy aimed towards the front of the ship, and quickly dragged to the rear. Any and all fighters attacking the hull were eradicated. "Computer, activate the Emergency Repairation holograms." The holograms suddenly appeared on the ship. A completely different race appeared on the ship. "Computer, control holograms. Code 6JY. Repair the hull."
The computer compied, and the holograms dissapeared. only to reappear outside and begin repairing the hull. the odd metal materialized from storage and the ERH began working. The railguns started to pick off the stranded pilots in one or two shots.

"Uuugh..." Blurry vision was the first thing he saw. Then the extremely loud beeps and unclear voices. And as he tried to look around, his hearing and vision slowly returned. "nooo....." he whispered. He knew where he was. And as he tried to sit up, he was pushed back down by someone. It was a nurse, a cockatrice in appearance, who just smiled and walked off to attend to other patients. The admiral groaned, closing his eyes to think. 'How did this happen? Why me? Just... why?' Immediantly, a rush of memories of the event took control of his mind, as he saw everything flash through his mind. The truck ramming into the limo, him crawling out, something he did not remember, as well as the police and ambulances coming. He could now remember debris and fire spread across the bridge, as cars were sent on a detour so as not to touch the scene. The driver was dead. No one had been killed in a accident in a few monthes, as crimes were relatively low. Collapsing on the road, admidst the debris, he could hear the sirens, the yells and shouts. He could smell the fuel of the car, and then blackness. That was all the rush of memories showed him, and immediantly, he understood. There had been no truck at the scene. It had been an attempt on his life by those who wanted to 'free' their people from hid reign. Growling as he took a look around the room once more, he found remote and turned the screen to the news. He watched as the news stations flooded on and on about the "accident" as he watched, he looked at the scene, listened to the reports, listened to what the news tried to tell the public. And he sighed hard and long as he closed his eyes.

OOC: The fighters themselves won't go through, however the wings will, becouse the plasma goes on, even after seperation for atleast 10 seconds, and if not seperated from the hull, still for a full hour, now just accept the damage, it's not much, especially not compared to my losses, just about all the fighters gone and a battleship down.

IC: All of a sudden, while allready quite a bit through the hull, the battleships disperced again, moving away from the hull as fast as possible to evade the oncomming threat.

Now that there were holes all over the hull, faint energy signatures of internal devices could be read on the scanner grid, Kamica ordered his men to localise the one responcible for the weapons.

OOC: lol the plasma won't won't on my hull cause remember, this ship collects plasma through nebulas. That means that it would be surrounded by plasma, and since the hull itself is resistant to plasma, any energy from the plasma would be disabled on the hull because of the polorised shields. anyways, the ships systems are burried deep within the ship, so you can' get it from shooting at any holes, as small as those would be. This next part will be fun.

IC: The fighters continued to fly towards the enemy. with most of the fighters gone, the cruisers didn't have much defense. The transports had reached one of the cruisers. and the doors opened. The Shock Troopers jumper out and onto the hull. Energy blades came from their wrists and they jammed it into the hull. Not having much time in space, the troopers had to operate quickly to get in. Three troopers used their blades to cut a good sized hole into the hull and soon jumped in once the pressure shot the piece of metal off. They were in and opened a door to a room. THey quickly ran in and closed the door, soon heating their bodies, and the room.

OOC: How large are your cruisers anyway?

OOC: Plasma in nebula's is natural, this is artificial... it is specialized to be a weapon, no, your hull does not resist it =3)

IC: They were immediatly met by several sword wielding armored humanoids, hacking and punching into the first several enemy troops, the hallways weren't long, on either side you could only see for 2 meters.

OOC: You can't heat the room if there's nothing to heat ¬¬, you need a substance to heat, and your hole prevents anything from staying in the ship.
And the punch of a Koldir hurts, realy it does... not only becouse they are strong, but also becouse of the hornlike things.)

well, the heat of the sun travels to earth, so really, he would be able to heat the surroundings. Perhaps not the air since it was sucked into space, but the metal in the hallway will eat it up like a sponge to water :D You have quite the problem on your hands. >:D

IC: The admiral, after several requests, was given his tablet, allowing him to continue his work. Over the days, messages came in, wishing him a swift recovery. Managing to finally get a mirror, he was able to see the damage caused by the crash. Feathers were missing in places where doctors had to remove the feathers just to get shrapnel, and disinfect wounds. But overall, he was going to make a full recovery. He had a room all to himself, and being the leader of entire worlds, wasn't a surprise. The last thing the government wanted was for a person from the commonwealth to be in the same room with a grudge. Thus, gaurds were posted outside the room, swithcing one of 2 gaurds every 6 hours. He was told that once he recovered from his injuries, that he would be free to go. He had been lucky not to have broken any bones, and he figured he had made the right choice by lining the limo with nanosteel, and imroving the engine to make sure no one could tell. If the car had had a regular armour as seen in other armoured vehicles, the car would have been destroyed from the collision of the truck. (semi :p) Given his work, he began to fill out the huge amounts of paperwork required for the loss of any military personell. Letters to families, as well as KIA (Killed in Action) forms were signed, written, everything. He made sure that he got the names of everyone on the cruiser, their records, and that he wrote the letter himself, as he knew the families hated receiving faxed letters that were all the same. He knew that they would appreciate the time and effort, the pain the admiral would go through, to write his letters of sorrow to the families of the lost. Hours upon hours, he wrote, keeping it real, showing his own sadness, as recalled how quickly they were lost, unable to be saved.

OOC: I hate this section, but it provides Elenai with enough time to allow the Kraken to analyze his findings :/ To make it more real. Uhg, I hate hospitals... :/

No, Elenai, they aren't in a nebula. Sacrid's just saying that plasma based weaponry isn't as effective, since the ship is at higher temperatures, and seems to thrive in nebulas, as they mine that stuff for fuel and gases (as mine also use it for fuel, but its not plasma specifically)

Elenai, we aren't fighting in a nebula, if you even bothered to read that I am in DarkKnight's territory, which doesn't have a nebula. and also, DarkKnight hasn't used his larger ships, just fighters. if he were to use them, the battle probably wouldn't look so godmoddish.

plasma is plasma. it doesn't change that much.
if you read my post, you'd learn that they rushed down through the hallway and into another room. anyone in the hallway would've been sucked out when the hole opened.

IC: The Shock troopers were surprised by the sudden attack, but were quick to respond. Two shock troopers charged forwards at point blank range (it is close combat afterall) and knocked over the hacking soldiers. They immediately dropped to the floor in a kneeling position and the other shock troopers fired. Purple needles came from their wrist plates. The needles went through the armour and sat their, sticking out. The soldiers dropped dead after a few moments. The Vultarans then got into position along the walls. They opened every door they came to, checking quickly for enemies.

OOC: My bigger ships did attack already, you just didn't notice.... and btw, I'm fine with the needles penetrating my armor, but NEVER will a ranged creature defeat a koldir in melee fighting, that, I just can't allow, especially since the interior of my ships are designed such way that there almost never room for ranged weaponry to be effective, and that the warriors are almost always close enough to engage.)

IC: "We are not going to make this, comparing our damage to theirs, I don't think we're going to make it" Kamica heard, he had a thought, which he quickly tried to push away, but no matter what other alternatives he thought of, it kept comming back, maybe there was a race... that could use melee attacks... "I have an idea, you're not going to like it, but it's the only thing that we CAN do, lure the ship out of our territory..." "But that could take days!" "Try to convince the goverment to retract our territory from that area, we NEED support, and the only way we're going to get it, is by asking other races, which leads to... well, you know..." "How dare you! They should take your weapon and broadcast it live throughout the empire!" "I know it's not the moste liked choice, but it is our ONLY choice" "Fine, but what race do we trust enough to help us?" "I'm going to find a way, and get them, until then, decrease our territory temporarily, and lead the ship out of it" "Tss, to be listening to a lower ranking captain, fine" And with that, all ships started moving away from the local star, and looking for reactions of the giant ship, Kamica's ship on the other hand, went back to the wormhole generator, and went through it.

At the wormholeship, Kamica's ship came out again, he immediatly hailed the wormholeship for any way to communicate with that bird race they met, as they seemed quite powerfull, and send a hail on all frequencies to the entire area where Amenon and Elui's ships were with the message "This is an emergency request for help from any of you, our empire is being attacked by a massive alien vessle with superior weaponry of the inferior type, please, we'll discuss payment afterwards, please respond".

A fleet move towards Black sun space but stopping a few meters away. "We wait for other forms. Be on your guard."

Amenon stood up. "A Kraken. Your past does seem to be full of dark deeds and even darker ways of life." He shook his head finally getting the robotic voice out of his head, but as soon as the voice left another one came in. He stood there a moment hearing what the voice was saying. "Its.. its Kamica. Hes in need of aid." Amenon began to walk out of the ship. "Hes the Ugrentien's new ally I must help him. I urge you to do the same." He went to his communication device again. "This is Chief Amenon I need the 5th fleet mobilized with warp drive engines attached. Now!"

ROFL! XD I was just about to suiggest you could request help from me XD

IC: The message was patched through. The admiral listened, and with his decision made, hauled himself out of bed. Walking out of the hospital, many doctors and nurses tried to stop him, but to no avail. A military transport had made their entrance at the roof of the hospital, and took him up to the flagship. The crew was ready, and the admiral would be fine.

OOC:

Except he sent the request to the Chozo... -.-

Elui smiled.

Ooh..a court-corridor scrap eh? Sounds like fun.

Asame, prepare the fleet for departure.


Yes my Lord.

The AI's sweet voice echoed across the room.

Within the span of about five minutes, the ships were prepared. Camp was broken, and they were launching into the sky towards the distress coordinates.

OOC: We are a caravan, we are used to quick camp breaks and launches. We haven't arrived yet, i will arrive in epic fashion :D

Meanwhile

Ah...an interesting device you have uncovered, the technology of these lesser races will prove useful to me indeed...

Send it to the forge, and let my servants study this childish creation. And then build for me a compatible, and greater version of this 'warp drive'...


The AI grinned maleficently as he held between his cold hands...a hologram of the Chozo Warp-Drive that had been recovered from the wreckage.

OOC: Uh-Oh, looks like the Kraken learned how to swim >:3

Subspace. It's like a warp drive, but at a completely different setting. Basically, it pulls the ship through a portal, into a tunnel that is in another layer of space known as subspace. It would appear, as in the Freespace series, that it does not increase the speed of the ship, as fighters are able to move around in the tunnel, but actually warps space around it like a sphere to shorten the distance between stars to literally minutes or hours (in my case, it takes 2 hours to reach the edge of my systems, and 3 hours to reach the nebula) So... you are going to be having a bit of fun, I see. But just know, that the subspace drives do not retain the information of their travel logs. That is in the central navigation computer. So... I am going to hate tracking you down. But at least I will have figured out ow, and have the energy signiture! :p (i really hops you don't decide to have insight from this, since subspace signitures really only are 1 signal type. Anything else, and it fails due to an unstable connection)

IC: Being taken to the flagship, the admiral sits in his chair after giving the order to head to the coordinates where the distress message came from. The flagship, at its prime, heads to warp. (still subspace...) Now all that had to be done was about a 4-6 hour wait to get to the location at full speed. (rofl travel time :/ It's like another road trip! :D)

yeah, warp drive is fine.

Odd, though... The Freespace wiki claims that the drives shakes the ship from dimension to dimension before the ship is recallebrated intot he proper dimension -.- That seems unlikely, so lets stick with warping surrounding space in all directions into a sphere to shorten distances :p

IC: "They're retreating."
"Good, call back the troopers." With that, the troopers got the message and went up to the enemy soldiers that had been shot. Htey pulled out the needles and headed back to the hallway. They quickly walked through the hallway and jumped through the hole and went to their transport. The transports went back to the super destroyer with the fighter escort and all ships soon landed in the fighter bays. The bay doors closed and the room was repressurised.
"Make one last sweep of the place, and head towards the sun." The beam cannons charged again, and fired in the same sweeping motion. One of the beam turrets hit the cruiser that had been boarded and ripped it apart from the front. With that, the super destroyer turned and went towards the sun at a fast pace.

OOC: lol I see everyone is responding. I know they just WANT to fight me. XD btw, where does your territory end? and what's in it? If the sun is in it, no way am I leaving. not just yet. Also, the coordinates given would be from where the distress signal came from, not where my ship is going to be. That means you have to fly towards me too. lol
Besides, it'll take awhile before anyone even reaches the place. Warp travel isn't instant, so I assume that everyone is going to be arriving at different times. There's the responce time (getting the message and coordinates), preperation time (out of orbit, atmosphere, or just being turned the right way), and travel time in warp (caused by speed and distance).
One more thing, you won't be able to see my ship if I'm cloe enough to the sun, but you'll be able to see it on your scanners. XD
