Against a backdrop that pinpointed a billion plus lights, each home to perhaps civilisation unseen or smouldering, capitulated rock, movement broke the freezing stillness of the void. Angled and obtrusive they blanked out the silent teachings of the stars behind. A collection of large craft, their designs universally similiar, yet all bound with subtle variation that demanded closer inspection, and acknowlegement. From within the hull of one of these starships, the largest, activity buzzed with the required attention.


Cianna allowed a moment of contemplation as the bridge around her bristled with activity. She caught her reflction, staring and intent on a reflective panel as the fleet slowly disengaged from Europan orbit, and headed to the Jovian League owned moon of Thebe. Yet this was no simple exercise, nor was it something that would be taken lightly, for now they took on another duty that the Defence Solarri relished and desired. Indeed for the passing weeks the fleets of the Serene^Union had seen activity like none before. Mobilisations for landings on the Red Planet Mars, and a forced meeting with an upcoming Five Kingdoms Fleet had seen the men and women of the most honoured Stars in more action than had previously occured so in many years.

Indeed, now they mobilised not for war or conquest, or protection even. They mobilised to assist a neighbour, and close member of the Jovian League- Der Angst.

The situation within their borders was both well documented to outsiders, but oddly closeted in ultimate outcome and effect. All that had fallen before the ears of the Aengelistoria Dominica was a request in regards to the orbital assets of Der Angst, and specifically the moon of Thebe, which was all but undefended against petty aggressors and dark, malevolent forces.

And so, they did. Elsewhere, fleets of the Serene^Union did bolster Der Angst facilities that required the attention and assistance. Yet the bulk now fortified the Jovian League headquarters of Thebe. As the massive forms of the Khristiyata class motherships congregated on this lonely rock, were they joined by the faster, firefly-like skirtings of escorts and transports. It was not a usual task, and one seldom invisioned by those of the stature to forsee what was to come. Yet it was a welcome motivation for the craft and crew. And until such time as their Jovian League counterparts could make safe their own, they would be guided by the starships of Kaenei.

Re-e-ezo-o-o-o... contact me. ASAP.
I suddenly remembered something I wanted to bug you about earlier! :D ]

The situaton at Jupiter was, at the very best, complicated.

Chaos reigned. The fleets, about three fourths of the original Jovian Fleet... Sixty vessels of varying size, with on average significant damage´, floating around... Engaging in small talk about the things they could do now... Unfortunately, there weren't all that many things they could do.

The moons. Thebe was a mess. Of course, the presence of Indiastani, Kaeneians & Konanians had meant that a good deal of damage had been prevented... And the survivors were reasonably save.

Yet, it wasn't all that good. Repairs needed to be done, a lot of them... Preparations needed to be made.

From here it was were the original call had come from, its origin a rather scared operator, asking for help, as 'Hell had been let loose'.

And the corpses, mostly, but not exclusively, Angstians in the hallways, in the quarters... Well, it was somewhat annoying.

Then, Themisto... This one, a smaller moon, basically exclusively Angstian. Here, where there was no foreign help, chaos reigned supreme.

Elvira, one of its surviving inhabitants, chuckled a little as she moved through the different sectiopns. She could hardly wait for someone to arrive, since it was kinda... Necessary, right now. She could almost feel the moon falling apart...

Well, with a bit of luck...

Europa, Ganymede, Callisto. Here, the large colonies were present... Here, the situation was somewhat more complex. And generally, a Mars- szenario was developing, with tiny fractions growing inpower... Wanting, gaining independence.

But they were secondary objectives, at least for now.

And finally, three reasonably large spacedy stations, orbiting Ganymede, Callisto & Europa.

Here, the damage was the worst. Operational? Not at all. It was years away.

However, chaos reigned... Granted, on three of them, the initial problems had been dealt with. Granted, there was still some sort of chaos, and one needed external help to do some repairs... Well, actually, a lot of repairs.

Hence, why they had called out for help from their neighbors. Waiting eagerly.

With one target, however, it was somewhat different. In orbit over Europa, one of the stations was slightly different from the others...

Here, the operator, the core reveled in an orgy of chaos and insanity.

Incidentally, it wasn't all that much destruction... And violence wasn't all that bad, either.

The people, the survivors... Were together, in crowds, joining each other, an orgy of insane lust... Celebrating the new freedom, celebrating it in ways...

It was a great feast, and they fed upon it. Hundreds of bodies, merging in lust and terror, colours, forms vanishing, insanity reigning...

It was one of the vessels nearby, a light destroyer, the Sunlight, a mere hundred meters in diameter, surprisingly sleek... Though admittedly, that large hole inside it looked somewhat nasty. Kinetics could be a pain.

"There you are... Well, it looks like Ganymede Station is working, again, surprisingly well, though they will need basic support, I think... Callisto is... Less so, I would suggest to be armed when entering... Not sure what is happening, there."

For a moment he hesitated with his transmission, but only for a moment.

"As for Europa... You wont like the news... Attempts to contact the core failed, apparently, it's... Busy. Prepare for the worst, I would guess. Of course, with Europa Station being... Well, where it is, there are certain risks involved... I would suggest acting as fast as possible. Oh, and before I forget it... My companions & myself need some sort of help, too... Our wounds wont heal without certain kinds of assistance... you have free space for a few dozen ships to do basic repairs?"
