Slish Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 *transmission fades in* A sleek starship glides effortlessly through the inky blackness of the Clomene system. The view slips closer to the ship and enters the bridge. Tentacled Horrors From Beyond man their stations on a normal watch shift while heading towards an unsurveyed warp point. A door slides open and a Tentacled Horror squishes onto the bridge and heads towards the captains chair. "Number One, report." "We surveyed Warp Point 41935 with some difficulty but our sensors proved superior to the complexities of the warp point. We are currently a few minutes away from 106557. The crew is warming up the Jump Survey Sensors now. We should be getting some information on it---" "Vampire, Vampire, Vampire!!!" came the shout from one of the bridge crew. "Report!" returned the captain. "We are currently tracking 48 hostile inbound missiles! Prelimary data suggests 8 missile platforms in the vicinity of Warp Point 106557!" "Evasive action! Full power on those fusion engines! Max them out and then some! Squeeze every ounce of speed you can out of them!" The weaponless ship performed a radical turn and raced away on full burn away from the missiles. The captain rubbed his chin with a slimy tentacle. Number One slides next to him, "It will take several minutes to sustain enough thrust to start to pull away from the missiles, sir. We can't generate enough speed in time to outrun them." "I know, Number One, but we have to try. Communications!" "Sir!" "Prepare the SAR drone. The War Council needs to be apprised of what happened here." "Aye, aye, sir!" "Sensors!" "Sir!" "Why didn't we pick them up sooner on our sensors?" "They must have been lying doggo, sir. We didn't get a glimmer on them until they launched their missiles. We did get close enough to get a visual on one of their ships. The sport a symbol of a "mailed fist with single claw extended to the stars" and a moniker of Obsidian, Inc." "Put all pertinent information in the SAR Drone and launch!" "Aye, aye, sir!" Several minutes later a small but high-powered drone launched and sped towards Warp Point 61656. The Search And Rescue Drone would Warp through and start broadcasting. At least the War Council will know how we died the captain thought. He watched the sensor screen and tracked the inbound missiles and wondered why they didn't put any weapons or defenses on these fast explorers. The 48 inbound missiles tracked inexoribly closer until they merged with the ship's icon. "Evasion Pattern Alpha Mike!" The ship started jinking around and actually managed to fool 8 of the missiles into missing. The eight corvettes of Obsidian, Inc recorded a large explosion and stood down from battle stations. *transmission fades out* Warlord Slish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desmodus Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 OXO House Faringian YOU have stumbled into Megachiroptera space - Do not fear for your citizens, YET - unless your actions prove otherwise, we will view this intrusion with an open mind; HOWEVER, should you decide to move further into our territories prior to the consent of our diplomatic corp, it will be perceived and treated as hostile action. We do not wish to see our newly found neighbors perish due to lack of communication. Please respond immediately so that you may avoid any unfortunate accidents - all communication channels will remain open for one standard cycle.

Slish Posted October 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 *transmission fades in* Desmodus, why are you nattering away and posturing? According to your signature block, you are not the Empire I lost my ship to. Obsidian, Inc is the Empire I need to speak to. Even if you are the Empire I need to speak to, how can I move further into your supposed territory when you blew up the only ship I had in the area? Hmmmm? Don't bother to waste me time with your incessent pratterings. Begone! *transmission fades out* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmodus Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 My Dear Friend Slish: You are absolutely correct in that you need to be communicating with a different entity. You must not have intercepted my entire communication and/or your translation capabilities are antiquated, as it was not addressed to you. No need to apologize for your misunderstanding, as all sentient beings know - different species have varying strengths and weaknesses in their native characteristics. Thank you for so flawlessly pointing out one of your diminished capacities. I agree that further communication with you is not worthy of any effort.

EternusIV Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Save the Drama for your Momma. Hey thats pretty good advice, Gary!

MadMartinB Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Eternus - I looked over the posts and while I usually ignore the paranoid rumblings I have to comment. Laserwolf's comment does not say he does not run the empire. All he mentions is that WKE attracts the strange empires. Also I find it interesting that you would know who ran the dropped empire (your earlier comments in that thread)...Oh wait you started the Phoenix Arisen.. Martin PS - since you are at war with me I feel I should respond to some of the wild commentary you are putting up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternusIV Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Gary- Just a little reminder of some of the drama you guys invented. MMB- Do you really think you can defend Norm on that deal? I can go to other sources if you like.... 'Paranoid rumblings'? No. Am I (and a lot of others) sick of your blatant deceptions? Yes. Spin away, worms....

Laserwolf Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Deception? I hardly call refusing to contact a neighbor as deception. His allowing me to find his HW with pathfinders was simply an unwise choice on his part. Note however, how I honored our border in Beulah space and did not go farther, even to this day.
