Termite!
running into the small antechamber of his holiness, Appu yelled "Great news Sire. GRAET NEWS...."
startled, Haile turned about, ready for any assasin that the isolationists might throw at him.
they were a crafty lot, and even though that movement has been decimated by the huge imvestments in infrastructure and morale boosting gadgets, he still harboured a good, healthy fear of them.
what he saw was not an assasin, but his chief engineer, Ruffa the ruffian.
Ruffa was always considered a renegade beakerhead, but he has proven his worth, coming up with the SoundSystem's PA gadget (the one that allows converting hundreds of people at a time instead of tiny
groups.
in his hands he held a small black book, made of plastic.
"sire" he said, "i have unearthed this marvel! it is one of the cornerstones of our history.
you must observe this.
I will require you grant me 25 economy units within the next few years.
this is going to become my crowning achievement!
"hold it, buster. your talking about CRIPPLING our economy.
what can be THAT important?
i have found, while rummaging the old ruins, this archaic BETA TYPE TAPE.
it is believed to be an original relic from old earth, a magnetic media VIDEO, whatever that means.
i also managed to assemble a replay mechanism and have seen our past.
THE CAPTAIN, Sire, has shown us the way to defeat that most VILE threat
the Scourge? i thought you were still years from finding an antidote?
no Sire, the Vakkra!!!
observe this.
i have taken this secret copy from the "tape"
i believe i can replicate this within a few years. and some generous funding...
AHH, said the Emperor.
I SEE.
you shall have your funds, and may Jah have mercy on the Vakkra!!!
OOC to all - all "Star Blazers" rip off are now trademarked

ah, good, The Old Dominion Relays in the gates are still working. we never did have tiem to inspect and make sure the ones on the gate to your space was working.
We need to pool our Technlogical resorces to better achive victory. over the vallak scum. we have begun development of a new weapon system which shoudl even te odds, but it will take a long time and a lot of funds to compleat. untill then, we would liek to Aquier Construction lvl 5 from you. we would be willing to part with Weapons:ship lvl 3 and Weapon:Troop lvl 2 in exchange for it.

We agree to your proposal. In this time of danger, we must come together and share our knowledge to defeat a common foe.

We have no need for your advanced construction techniques. That money is better spent on strengthening our defenses should the Vakkra bring the fight to us.

From: Admiral Doherty, 51st Air Survivors
We are currently being nicely supplied by various factions. Our way of life has improved much since learning that we were not the only ones to survive the fall of the Dominion. However, it is not in our interests to give our allegiance to any who seek to revive the powerlust that led to the fall of the Dominion. If the Dominion is reestablished, we shall gladly return to our rightful place, but not until then.
I will accept your trade proposal, and share with you some of the weapons knowledge we have in exchange for advances in energy and robotics.

@Trinity, The Transfer of a robotics level would be acceptable for ship weapons 4, as for allowing your ships access to one of our systems is currently unacceptable. However if you were to inform us which system you belive to be the old capital we would investigate this matter ourselves and allow your scientists to travel on Skyjack vessals to study the ruins.
Please also note that any developments in the Nellis system (the 51st airbourne) will be monitered by us, and whilst we do not place them under our protection per say, the distances involved being very great, we would look unfavourably on any actions taken against the will of the populance.
And we also would like to make it known that the recordings you are so casually throwing around are the aftermarth of the battle of Vayin, not Oncol. I hope you are not trying to confuse these other governments.

I've been playing too much StarCraft recently. I'm making another animation, this one far bigger than the one I made for the election.
I wish I could include sound, but then it would have to be a movie, and that would cause a lot of format problems for some of you. So it'll be a silent .gif, 600 by 480 pixels.
It'll be posted tomorrow, and I have tomorrow off school, and a lot of spare time, plus spare processing power.
So... Everyone, but especially Darwin, if there are things you want to see in an "intro movie" or semi-documentary of the current situation, SPEAK UP!
Just you wait, I'm going to fight off the Vakkra... apart from raw force, I can think of FIVE ways to beat them.
@Darwin: Quite apart from my sulking (which was a joke), I intended to be able to earn something on even trades. Now that I've noticed, can I start having the bonus?

I'm going to milk this event for all the stories it's worth. This invasion will have been the time when the Sojournership was forged in the fires of war, saw the galactic events in a new light and set itself on a new path.</melodrama>Iggy said:

It would be Domnonus, acording to our maps. and it is highly likely that it is infested with the Scorage. the people we had selected to make the journy have been prepared to die if they coudl not jump back, and were prepared to ram the gate on the other side and blow it up inorder to prevent the scorage to jump back to your system. if you do undertake such a mission, I recomend you prepare your crew and rig the gate on yourside incase something gose wrong.
.. and the oncol bit, we don't have any Idea where teh name oncol bit came from.. we are sorry, and we will coll it by the porper name.

OOC: I've been assuming the basis of Jumpgates are regions of space where jumpgate effects are possible ala the 'Alderson Drive' in the Motie series by Niven and Pournelle, if they are actual physical objects that could be destroyed then the gameplay would be very seriously compromised in my opinion :shrug:.
Also what makes you think its Dominous? the Old dominon extended for far more than our local sector...the name could merely be a coincidence...
IC: We have a fleet on its way to Dominous as we speak, we shall soon know the truth of this matter, the fleet will be instructed to take all necessay procautions.

The second worker refrained from answering that as the two of them began their shift in VA-8.
"Investigation into Vakkra Motive Systems," mouthed the first worker at a recording device. "We have located a servomotor in the leg muscle with no direct neural route to the assumed brain and are attempting to stimulate it to a response." Both of them turned to the table, checking off various security details. Had the Vakkra specimen been kept sterile? Yes. Was its temperature below the life limit for carbon-based chemistry? Yes. Was it still beheaded? Yes.

"No response." answered the second one, watching the headless Vakkra corpse and a list of readouts in turn. He typed the result up on his computer.

"-to avoid any risk of losing our discoveries. Stop being so pessimistic. First you complained it was boring, now you complain when we have to stop."

Jared Jenkins, the first dictator of the Sojournership, instituted the Amroth project, to undertake research into the field of extensive body modification and grafting. It became a realm of its own, with an embassy on Nox II. To preserve its secrets, it did not shroud itself in mystery, but instead cast itself as being merely a fairy-tale told on the space stations.
Blajat Ravinam, the second dictator of the Sojournership, closed the Amroth project, to mobilize for war. It cloaked itself, sold its machines to the military, and its people moved to Oncol III. Where better to hide?
Vakkra, the invaders of the Sojournership, provoked the Amrothians forth once again. With their knowledge of grafts, their enforced secrecy and their isolation from the outside world, they were the group least hampered by and most able to combat the alien invasion.

To: Library; Vivisection Overseer; Vakkra Project
From: Vivisection Laboratory Eight
Subject: Vakkra Motive Systems
Abstract: A Vakkra motor responded to an electric signal of frequency two hundred fourteen point seven.
Details: During research on said subject, experimentation on Vakkra specimen #14 revealed deviations within margin of error at both of the electrical frequencies 430 and 429,5, although these gave no result when repeated. It was suggested that this may be a multiple of the correct frequency, so stimulation with frequency 214,7 was attempted. Highly nonstandard measuring results and a visible movement of the specimen's leg were observed. This message was subsequently composed according to security protocol 36c.Damn it Iggy that was my idea, of course i had a rather convoluted way of acheiving it.
I would like to send observers, or at least have access to your files on the result please, if poissble we can talk about shipping the virus to Miria.
ok?

i'm sorry darwin for always sending orders very late and always promising stories and never keeping up to that promise
please NPC Harpellian Hegemony for a week - i gotta figure out how to put NESing back into my time "schedule" (not having a computer for like 2 weeks took NESing completely out of the equation) so for this week or so i will not be sending orders at all... after friday, though, i got spring break, so i will come back and i will write those damn stories! i swear i will!
