In search of the Life-Liquid
The 5 massive ships appeared near Pluto, smooth and cylindrical in appearance, shiny like chrome or stainless steel, reflecting the stars and Pluto as they drifted. The largest ship reached a length of 5 kilometres (3.1 miles).
On board they went about their business, hell-bent on finding a source...
ooc: ... life liquid? Is there some sort of pre-thread?
OOC: I doubt it. Only 18 posts... I'm considering taking another look, but I don't think so.
And as usual, I'm right.

The Confederacy of Goronkoth sent a wing of 3 Vipers and 3 Starfuries out to do some recon on the 5 ships.
A ZDF Mk III Kryptonite Cruiser strolls into the area, on an investigation into the origin and course of this 5 kilometer block of cardboard.
*The ship is the same as the one in my sig*

"Kshhkt kashan!"
"Kshhkt namashan!"
The conversation was frenzied, as their 10 mid-sized vessels appeared in an almost opposite location to the 5 others.
A signalled pulse was received by Paradigm_'s ships, confirmed and then signalled back, and the Clone Vessels rotated in cylindrical unison.
The ZDF cruiser just sits back, about half a million kilometers away, watching the scene.
On the bridge:
Commander: "What the heck are they doing?"
Officer: "I have no idea... looks like some sort of a mating ritual..."
Commander: "....?" *Thwaps*
On board they sensed the ZDF cruiser and the Goronkoth craft presence.
Led by the 3 mile behemoth, the ships eased into a high level geosync orbit of Pluto.
They waited for the others...
The head Paradite gestured quickly at the others.
"Kshhkt likalukka!"
Slowly the massive ships left the orbit of Pluto, and headed towards the inner planets.
"Kshhkt nagawazzamble!"
their 8 ships jerked out of teleportation near jupiter. immediate contact was made with The Dominion, out of fear of being considered slow. The signalled pulse was returned and the 8 chrome ships rotated into a star shape.
They waited for the Humids, who had not yet arrived. The leader was getting agitated at their lagging.
A red planet was now a few million miles away, they were ready to work on the polar regions...

I'm I the only one who finds this really funny?? I mean Life Liquid? :oops:
The infidels will never get their hands on enough Life Liquid to counteract our vast stores of Death Liquid! God be praised, we shall push back our enemies, and utterly scourge them from the face of the universe! We shall cut them into pieces like a great boa snake, and God will roast their stomachs in hell!

The leader revealed himself on the open video channels for the first time:
Anyone receiving the broadcast would see the leader speaking the following:
"Friendly Greetings all to, we bring ourselves here for the Life Liquid.
Wanting this product is great importance to us, we are seeking it out."

The 13km long Kanuckistani Battleplate, lingering in the general vacinity of Earth, replyed, "This is the Kanuckistani High Gaurd Vessel Sword of Inevitible Justice to unknown fleet; can you elaborate on the nature of substance you request? Sounds alot like water; the primary solvent in the liquid bodys covering around two thirds of the third planet in this star system."

The Paradite looked at the translator display, and smirked to himself... at last.
"Kshhhkt ishikala!" He blurted out.
The leader came closer, "Kshhkt gaazamblesha!" He ordered.
The signal directed at Kanackistan carried the message: "Confirmation of the object of our desire by you is good to receive. We come in Peace."
The sleek cylindrical ships rotated once more, turning their backs on Mars. "The Humids can do the red planet task later." Were the thoughts of the head Paradite.
And the ships headed for Earth...
The 25 pitch black Humid Category ships came out of the hyperjump off course and behind Saturn. Looking nothing like the other chrome cylindrical craft of the others.
They feared the consequences of the blunder that was just performed, surely the Dominion would have a word.
The signalled pulse came in on high strength indicating repercussions were on the way. As ordered, they headed for mars.

The Battleplate's commander responded, transmitting a map with several areas highlighted, "Areas highlighted are international waters well outside shipping lanes; no one has any claim on these areas, so you can take what you need. So long as you don't take so much that you impact the enviroment, no one should care, although you will have to purify it. Alternitivly, there are a number of water-ice comets known to be unclaimed; transmitting coordinates of several good sized ones now."

A transmission is broadcast to the unknown vessels -
{L1} If you wish to find a source of Water, we would be {L1End}
{L2} happy to escort you to the Ice Fields of the Nordlund {L2End}
{L3} system. There are enough ice comets in the Nordlund {L3End}
{L4} system to supply multiple planets with water for {L4End}
{L5} an entire year. Shall we escort you to the system? {L5End}
The messages from Kanuckistan and Foe Hammer were received and analized by the Leader.
"Thankful we are for the input. We seek non-salty liquid, fresh from your lakes, we would be grateful for some. We wish not to travel any further."
The armada entered the north eastern hemisphere of Earth, remaining at a very high altitude. A while later, about 1000 small craft poured out of the largest ship and started spreading out over the northern hemisphere...

"That is a vastly less abundant resource," came the Kanuckistani reply, "And one already claimed in it's entirity. What volume do you requior?"
We require a great deal of the life liquid, negotiating an amount we will undertake with interested parties.
The largest ship, the mothership, moved back into near space orbit over the earth. the scout shuttles retrieved data from all over the globe. The other craft remained in Earth's upper atmosphere.
A message was transmitted to Kanuckistani in their primary language:
"Leader of Kanuckistani, we seek to meet with you to discuss aquiring the liquid from you. We will enter your airspace soon and will transport our commander to your capital. Please respond."

"Life-Liquid" couldn't possibly be just water. Else they would call it that.
Obviously, they want either caffeinated beverage, or mass quantities of whiskey!

The reply again comes from the Kanuckistani Battleplate in orbit, "I'm afraid that the God-Emperor is otherwise engaged on the other side of the galaxy right now. Entry of forgine spacecraft into our airspace is also restricted. We have a refurbished, three hundred year old cargo transfer station in orbit just outside Earth's Great Equatorial Debris Belt, with facilities suited to simple diplomatic functions. Would it be acceptible for you to meet a representitive there to conduct negotiations?"
