OOC: Making a few assumptions about the present state of technology, and making some guesses :p.

The Duke Atredies looked down at the rather large bunch of papers in his hand, the Scientist accross from him Blinked, nervously.

"Those papers are my most recent theory, its rather abstract at the moment,"

"Why?" The Duke disliked this scientists inability to show proper respect to his superiors, however he had to live with it, he wanted this mans brains, not his obiedience, he already had a fleets obiedience.

The Scientist snorted, "Applicable Energy research is a out two decades behind theoretical, bunch of air-heads"

"Indeed, give me an abstract of this then,"

The Scientist looked up, eagerness showing on his face, "Umm right where to begin, Ok, well the papers discuss two things, however I will give you a bit of background information as well, its always better to understand.."

"Yes, yes just get on with it,"

"Right, yes. First we begin with String Theory, this was proven quite a while back, theoretically, it was recently proven experimentally. This paper deals mainly with the unpacking of strings from around each other, which releases energy, similar to that of breaking bonds for chemical energy, and breaking nuclei for Nuclear energy. The energy released is a couple of orders of magnitude greater than nuclear, even with the inefficienies I put in, it is after all a New field. However I extrapolated this theory furhter, providing some base work for what I Forsee as the next level of energy, which is bluntly the unpacking of the dimensions associated with String theory. You see the most of the dimensions are actually packed up very small and tightly..."

"Thank you, THANK you," The Duke said, intresting surely, but rather useless at the moment, two decades ahead, well a lot of government funding was getting diverted to other more important areas....

"You might be intrested in the magnitude of energy released by this unpacking," the Scientist broke into the Dukes Reverie, he turned further irriated, "Its enough to destroy a small planet,"

The Duke Gaped. The Scientist Smiled.

"Very well, I think you've proven your ability to think outside the box, your very creative you know, you're hired for this rather, unique, job,"

It was the Scientists turn to gape....
 
Regarding Communications: Once a Faction has contact with another Faction, they will always have open comms channels.

Also, shouldn't I have 2 bonus EP this turn? One from the late update, and one from tech?
I'm waaaiiiiting... :p

Seriously, everyone, I'm now back from my little vacation at a cabin in Nowhere, Southern Norway. Looks like nothing's happened. Due to the late update, all my stories were somewhat wasted, so you'll be getting reruns.

It's on GeoCities, not CFC, because it's a rather big file.

DIE VAKKRA DIE! Time to move the huge fleet of Destroyers. (Bigger than Kal'thzar's, even. :D)

What is it with you people and reading skills? I've slowed it down twice from the first version. I can read the text aloud in the time it takes to display on the screen.
</scorn>

How slow do you want it? I can specify time intervals for each block of text.


@Kal'thzar: Only by 6 to 5, that's not much...
 
can you put in a slideshow effect? Click for next bit of text etc?
No, I can not, for the simple reason that the "movie" is an animated gif. In simple terms, a picture. An image.
Philistines. :p

Try it. You'll be surprised. It's only *measures* 400KB; the last page of this thread downloads as 200KB to my computer. So it should have the same loading time as two pages of a NES.

And if you're on a dial-up, how do you view worldmaps? :p
 
Maybe he doesn't? O_o (yeah reaaaallyy useful post...)

btw darwin, ignore the order set I sent to you, I will make a new one with some rather important changes.
 
Tuesday.

FTXCL. My orders are in.
 
to: 51st Air survivors.
from: ZIB

just reminding you that we have a deal at work.
we are very pleased by the progress of our trade route deals and would like to offer a small incentive for a rapid conclussion.

will you accept BioTech 3 for 2 EP?
you can pay me back over two years if needed.
 
story post (? ;))

it was with a grave and tired heart that his highness heard the news for his dear friend, Senior Grenadier Alpha, of the Trinitev Conclave.
"a vile attack has occured! peace was broken by a beligerent faction, he said.
those #$%#% Jaenar!
they have no respect for the governship of another faction!
why did they attack us?

i cannot answer that, my friend, and all i can offer you are my condolences.
we shall send some of our illustrious SoundSystem Crews to your people.
that should help thier morale greatly.

"thank you, my friend.
but i must also think of the future.
what shall become of my people?
how shall they fare? who would ensure thier survival and prosperity?
all i have left to give is my life, and that is not so expensive.

i shall, Jah Willing, provide safety to ALL of humanity.
it is our will that ALL of humanity stay peaceful in face of the single great enemy!

will you be willing to contribute from your life experience and serve under my orders?
will you head a committee that shall draw up plans for a new and unified human race?
WE WILL NOT HAVE ANOTHER HOLOCAUST HAPPEN.
HUMANITY MUST NOT destroy itself once again.

i will my friend.
i will.

a few months pass....

"your highness,
i am most pleased to offer you a first draft of the new constitution.
we shall begin this by contacting our known friends (and our "former" enemies, the Jaenar).
we shall first sign a non agression, mutual protection pact, designed to defend us against the Vile Vakkra and Scourge.
step two shall be to build a rapid response fleet.
at a future date we can also consider consolidation of the member faction under the governorship of a united humaity,
but that i fear is an utopian dream.

enclosed is a draft of the treaty.
we wish to send it and see what kind of response we shall recieve.
draft of a united MPPact said:
to: UCCT, 51st Air Survivors, Olgevs, SKYJACKs, JAENAR EMPIRE
from: ZIB

due to certain unrest within the quadrant we are attempting to formulate a COMBINED REACTION FORCE.

we shall sign a MUTUAL PROTECTION PACT,
designed to thwart ANY aggressive attacks upon our factions planets.

THIS IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW FREE MILITARY PASSAGE VS VAKKRA AND SCOURGE ATTACKS AND HOT SPOTS.

rivalries between faction are discouraged but shall be permited for now.
our greatest enemy is the ALIEN ATTACKS.

details of the treaty:
1- each faction shall contribute a fleet according to the number of systems colonized and developement status.
[e.g. - if you have 3 systems, with a DevSTat of 3,2,5, you will provide a mobile fleet that equals (3+2+5=10) TEN shares.

1a- how many EP each share will cost will be decided later.
we are thinking 0.5EP per share.

1b- composition of the fleet should be decided later aswell,
my thoughts are 1/3 carriers + fighters, 1/3 cruiser-destroyer escorts and 1/3 heavy combat ships

2- fleets will be under the JOINT command of our factions.
a SINGLE faction shall be elected each year, and will be giving it orders.
perliminary positioning will be decided later, but will probably be within the HOME FACTIONs space.

2a- upon ANY attack upon ANY faction, the president shall dispatch any units within response distance.

3- the fleets shall remain IN CONSTANT contact with thier home bases.
they will NOT break the treaty!
they shall engage only exterior threats.

4- the commanding faction can and should discuss movements of the fleets.

5- upon signing, i am willing to sieze the chair and devise a defense plan that will ensure our survival.

6- as an option we can also develop a combine research plan.

awaiting your favoured signature,

His Imperial Highness,
Ruler of the quadrant,
Haile Sellassie 14th,
Republic of Zion In Babylon

it seems a well thought out and fair deal to all factions involved.
send it out,
and may many factions sign on.
the reports of widespread violence are HIGHLY disturbing.

care to make a trade offer?
we care assure you we are more than willing to trade, and will provide luctrative conditions.

Not this year (we've sent orders with a lot of trades in already ;)) but next would certainly be up for consideration.

We admire the spirit of Your proposal but fear that the mechanics of the universe make parts of it an unviable option for us.

Refering to the Combined Fleet; with 5 years of travel time between the Skyjack Core worlds and the Zibon quadrants, how can this fleet act decisivily agains the Vakkra's ability to apparently transcend normal starlanes? Any forces we commit would be better put to use defending developed world! I would make sense for the Jaener empire and ZIB to agree to such a thing, being as they are much closer, but we cannot in good faith send our people half way across the local nets, nor ask you to do the reverse!

However a combined effort against the Scourge threat, and a combined research program interest us greatly, as your generous offer to the 51st Airbourne reflects favourably on you.

If such an alliance forms, the Conclave would be interested in becoming an Associate member; Persuing harsh diplomatic sanctions and embargos against any attackers to the alliance (unless they also border Skyjack Space in which case we might consider military action), and aiding the alliance's technological developments, but without having to commit forces to such a distance that they will likely be outdated on arrival :lol:!
