OOC: Closed thread, no comments here please, anything not done by me or people specifically invited will be deleted. This thread's purpose is to simply have one place where I can do whatever tech research posts need to be done for Menelmacar, and related RP.

Also, unless otherwise stated, everything in this thread is to be considered 'Ridiculously Secret' - thusly, you don't ICly know about it.

Tag posts will be permitted, as will bumps.

Menelmacari Prefecture of Science
Imperial Research Directive 38743982
To the Provost, Department of Energy Storage and Transmission

Please immediately commence the following reverse-engineering project:

You are to requisition the wreckage of the Raider grav-sleds used by the Fallen, which were destroyed by the cruiser Din-Sûl ("Silent Wind") several weeks ago outside of Vinyatirion at the same time when the Archon Mieka was apprehended. The wreckage is currently being held by the Prefecture of Defense in Storage Facility 13-F in Silharthad; you have the clearance of the Elentári herself to remove and examine the debris.

Once the wreckage is in hand, please commence research on the Fallen 'dark lance' and 'disintegrator' weapon systems. Any subsidiary technologies which can also be developed from this research - more advanced materials and superconductors, energy storage, exotic matter, etc. - would also be very helpful.

You are also authorized to enlist the aid of the Tor Yvresse craftworld in this matter.

~Lord Celebrimbor nos Fëanor
Prefect of Science

Directive Ends

OOC: This project will take approximately four to five weeks, real-time, to complete. Any help from Tor Yvresse would be appreciated, and will reduce completion time accordingly.

tag for memory

TAG, and about the Dark Matter devices and Dark Eldar weaponry, we have some....information. The former goverment of Ma'El the Betrayer experimented with that kind of weaponry some time ago, the results of the experiments are still in our hands. He even used some of those weapons in the civil war, at least several ships fired Dark Lances, of course most of them were obliterated by your own fleet, but...

Make it:

OOC: Good point...

IC:

Celebrimbor's comm beeped - incoming call. He picked up.

"Yes?"

"Milord, I got your directive..." It was the provost. "Didn't the Aelosians do some similar research? We were thinking of liaising with them on this matter."

Celebrimbor nodded. "That's right, Ma'El's fleet had some... they all got blown up, though. You're right, though, they might have some prototypes and data available. All right, go ahead, but make sure they know this is to be kept under wraps. Actually, I'll send the communiqué myself."

"Yes, milord."

To whom it may concern, in the government of Aelosia:

Menelmacar is currently conducting research into exotic matter weaponry and any ancillary, related technologies. We know some of these weapons were deployed in your recent civil war, and we are wondering if you could provide us any related data you have. It would be greatly appreciated.

May Eru guide your hand.

The 5th Dockyard of the R&D facility in the Craftworld of Aelosia...

Several mechanics were gathered around a huge cylinder with the form of an oversized lascannon, sparks were flying all over the place, as some technicians were trying to dismount the piece from its base, an oversized platform of a destroyed vessel. By the looking of the remaining hulk, the platform belonged to the prow of a destroyed Aelosian Hemlock Class Destroyer.

Nearby, a tall elf clad in a exquisite white wraithbone armor with the appearance of a high-ranking officer was looking to some blueprints, trying to explain the details to several elven scientists.
"They called them Dark Lances. It's a device similar to the pulsar lances that we use in our cruisers, but it fired some kind of Dark Matter energy, the same kind of energy that we use in our ortillery devices and in the Aelos Last Wishes. The entire thing was developed by the researchers of Ma'El, using Dark Eldar technology. The punch of the lasgun is nearly indetectable, thanks to the use of Dark Matter, otherwise, is just an oversized version of our lances", said the Admiral, looking at the weapon with interest.

"But a weapon like that would need huge quantities of energy, and they mounted these weapons in Destroyers. The smaller Dark Matter Cannon that we have created can be mounted only in a VoidStalker Flagship!, and when it fires it drain the power of the holofields of the Battleship, there's no way a small escort ship can create that kind of firepower", said one of the scientists, pointing at some details in the blueprints.

"You don't seem to be familiar with the design of the Hemlock Class Destroyer, the Hemlock is notable for its simplicity of design. It consists of a powerful pulsar lance, highly efficient drives, and little else. Dux Admiral D'nan once described the Hemlock as …more of a mobile gun than a proper starship. With the power needed for the stellar drives and the pulsar lance, even considering advanced Eldar engine technology, the Hemlock cannot generate a stable interior environment for much more than the crew members needed for steering the ship and firing the pulsar. However, we still need to know how they mounted a Dark Matter generator linked to the gun, unless they displaced the solar sails, but that would make the ship impossible to move, and all the remaining hulks in orbit has their sails destroyed. The Menelmacari aimed to that zone first, to reduce the movement capabilities of the ships", said the officer, raising his left brow.

"Dux Admiral Lórindel, Sire, a message has just arrived, it's kind of urgent, from the Menelmacari, here is it", interrumpted a messenger, a page dressed with the blazon of the Lórindel House, holding in his hand a little holorecording.

"Speaking of the devil", said the Admiral, interrumpting the analysis of the blueprints for a moment, inserting the disk in a holo proyector, reading the message from Lord Celembrimbor.

"Isn't that guy the one who forged the rings, or it's just a coincidence?", said one of the scientist, chuckling.

"Looks like him, as far as I know, Lady Sirithil is the widow of Feänor himself. However, I thought that Celembrimbor was killed when Sauron sacked Eregion in the Second Age, looks like he managed to survive, but that's not the issue now", said the Admiral, the head of the R&D deparment of the Aelosian Navy. "But by Örome!, How they know that we're trying to rebuild that technology?, that data is high classified, noone knows about our Dark Matter studies except for Tor Yvresse. Damn palantíris...Send him a message, containing the blueprints that we have found and holoproyections of the hulks that we have been studying in the orbit of the Craftworld. Don't hide anything, we will cooperate with their investigations, for now. Some things shouldn't be shared, the hidden power behind this weaponry is fearsome indeed. A really powerful Dark Matter device could create a black hole, destroy a planet, or erase an entire fleet from the face of the universe. Tell him that we need some of their specialists to come here to start further investigation, because we can't move the hulks".

"Looks like him, as far as I know, Lady Sirithil is the mother of Feänor himself. However, Celembrimbor was killed when Sauron sacked Eregion in the Second Age, but that's not the issue now", said the Admiral, the head of the R&D deparment of the Aelosian Navy.
OOC: Couple of corrections...

Celebrimbor wasn't killed in my timeline, Sauron beat him within an inch of his life and left him for dead, but he survived. And Siri was Fëanor's wife, not his mother. :)

IC post pending.

I'll edit it. But I thought that Feänor's wife was called Nerdanel...

Vely interesting... *tag*

very.. hard to follow..

I suspect that that you'll find her mysterious dissapearance and name changing antics in the Menelmacari history books somewhere.

'Interesting the Lady Sirithil wishes to invesitigate the Dark Lances, hmm well that should be something we can help them with. Yes open a channel to Lord Celebrimbor nos Fëanor' Telgorthrind had considered the matter at great length, now he had reached a decision.

'Sir greetings, the Council has recieved your request and we send our agreement on the matter, the Dark Lance and other Fallen technology is based upon the same Principles as our own technology. We in fact employ our own version of the weapon, known as a Bright Lance so we would be happy to help you in this regards, still it is only fair to inform you that our aid cannot come freely, we have a technological interest of our own, and think you may be able to help us in this matter.'

'Still we would need further details of your plans for the Dark Lance Technology, simply put is your aim to intergrate the basic premis into existing Menelmacar Technology or to use it in conjunction with the recent knowledge w passed on in regards to Wraithbone? As this will likely effect any persons we send, to backwards engineer it to existing Menelmacar Technology will require a greater number of Experts of this path, to intergrate with the wraithbone, standard followers of the Path should suffice.'

High Lord Celembrimbor nos Curufin nos Fëanor:

I send this message in response to your request about joining our investigation about the Dark Lances technology used by our dark cousins.

I'm annexing info about the vessels that we have found using that technology. Several of the hulks floating around our craftworld had Dark Lances cannons as part of their weaponry. Of course most of them remains in a deplorable state, but we have salvaged what we could.

In this moment some of our operatives are engaging Manmen Dark Eldar troops over the airspace of Silmessë. We hope to capture one of their vessels intact to conduct a better research in this matter. I already send the blueprints that our own technicians used to adapt Dark Lances to our vessels in the Ma'El age. Also I included some information about our own Dark Matter Cannons mounted in our Flagships. If you have any questions please ask me.

I wait your answer. It's needlesly to say that all this information is highly classified and that I hope your discretion about this matter.

Dux Admiral Haralis Lörindel.
