Hello? Can anybody hear me?
All across the known Universe a weak signal is repeating, being caught by remote listening satellites and retransmitted on all television and radio frequencies. A desperate plea for help
"Hello? Hello? Is this thing working? Can anybody hear me? This is Joajns Walcank. I live in New Francisco in the Regulus system. Salm is pushing us to no end! He's declared martial law, executing anybody who questions him, he even confiscated our pots and pans to make weapons! The war machine has grown exponentially, I doubt more than 25% of the population isn't working on the fleet in some way. Send help, please!"
OOC: This is a small thing, I don't wan massive fleets, or even large battleships. Preferrably a small marine squad or something.

Onboard the Bellona I, the crew is going about their normal routine. On the bridge, the admiral is gazing out the front viewport over the massive stretch of spacecraft ahead of him, that eventually fades into the void of space, outlined by the glow of distand stars and galaxies.
The crew around him is performing their methodical duties, when the communications officer called up from his post.
"Sir, we're picking up a repeating transmission from an unidentifiable source. It sounds like a distress call," he said.
The admiral turned and briskly made his way to the comms officer's console.
"Let's hear it," the admiral responded, and the officer punched a few keys on the control board. The transmission played itself over a speaker and the admiral contimplated the information.
"Pinpoint where this transmission is coming from and assess the situation. Quickly."
"Aye, sir." the comms officer responded, and the crew jumped into action. The admiral went back to staring into the void.

OOC: I don't understand how this could be a small thing with over 600 million people. What is going on, anyways? Is Joajns Walcank the former leader of New Francisco or just someone calling for help?

-- On the flight deck of the Eastern Division's ASF Fighter, the Omega Prime wing leader, pilot Am-at'ol Speermius intercepts a stange message coming from the glittering stars overhead. He relays the message to Flight Control on board the USS Northern Star.
General Blixenstraat receives the message and plays it.
Then he laughs.
"Suckers," he says, and goes about his work. --

Do you know what's been going on with the Klonor Empire recently? The revolution? The assasination? This dude is just some random citizen who is being repressed and asking to be rescued. I'm wanting some special forces unit to come in and try to rescue him and his family, or something like that

OOC: Ah, just confused slightly with the "Klonor3" part. And no, I wasn't aware of what has been going on. But I have to log off now anyways so I can't deal with it at this moment.
I use each of the numbered klonors (Klonor2,3,&4) to represent one colonised system (Deneb, Regulus, Epsilon Pegasi).
This thread should explain what's been going on recently
