"Space is large... Large, empty and dangerous."

"To survive, nations must band together, unite against the threats that plague us all."

"It is to this ends that we have founded CAGE, the Coalition of Advanced Galactic Empire. An alliance built on the principle of mutual economic benefit, cooperative research, and the eradication of those who threaten us. We may even oppose the threat ESUS poses to all who do not bow to them."

"It is not easy to survive in space, and cooperation is critical. Be you with us... or against us?"



-OOC-
Welcome to CAGE, the so-called Anti-ESUS. No, we won't be declaring war on ESUS. At least... not yet...

Open to all non-ESUS nations who exhibit decent RPing skills. I'll be making a board for CAGE if we get enough people.

Everyone who joins will get help with technology and fleet development. ^_^

Presently, if you want in, just reply here.

"We of Jangle Jangle Ridge would be quite happy and willing to join this alliance. We find that most nations, once in space, simply attempt to grab at everything they can and hoard it. That is why we've moved most of our citzens into Nebulas, to keep hidden. Please reply to our request as soon as possible." The head of Tarenteor, green-haired national leader, dissapeared from the screen, as it blanked out.

"We welcome you into CAGE."

"The president of Western Might, along with the rest of the government, can see the logic in joining such an alliance. That is why have all agreed to this communication. Such an alliance would have our full support in any emergancy."

James Green, head of the Localized Space and ground defence commitee.

OOC: Hey, another Jan 03 nation. But, what tech bracket is the alliance, Mekanta? Is FLT allowed?

-OOC-

Coalition of Advanced Galactic Nations

FTL is more than allowed. It's a necessity. But I'd accept developing Future Techers to help them gain a foothold.


-IC-

"We welcome you... Both of you...

The United Federation of Germanische Zustande notes that this "CAGE" is going against its purpose. By planning to war with the ESUS, it is not uniting the galaxy. We also note that this alliance would be better off uniting with the ESUS and AoN to fight the impending Shivan threat. All members, be forewarned that the founder of this organization, Neo-Menkata, will lead you to certain war in the name of genocide. They fight against all opposing views, and all those who stand up against their so-called ideals. We cannot speak for these bodies, but I am sure that, should CAGE try anything, the ESUS and AoN would respond, and would defeat any liberal, socialist, attempt at rule of the galaxy.

High Council
UFGZ

ooc: Government point of view... and official statement...

"Should we be surprised at these threats? You only prove the point against you. To speak of ones genocidal intentions when your own alliance is more guilty than I mearly shows hippocricy. Our Mekantan 'brothers' know of that. The nation of Central Facehuggeria knows of that. Corpsac knows of that."

"We have no plans to war against ESUS should your imperialistic alliance threaten us first. Your comments not included."

"We have learned to embrace the inferiority of the organics. After all, we were defeated before when we attempted to better the galaxy. Perhaps ESUS nations never deviate from thier nefarious ways, but Neo-Mekanta's intentions have always been just. As opposed to those who claim to fight the Shivans but constantly seek to fufil thier own selfish needs."

"We have turned our backs on the Shivans. Thier stupidity has damned them..."

Is FLT allowed?

OOC = Yes, of course you can have fork lift trucks if you want :p

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist... I'm childish I know.

IC

qaleghnes!

The Klingon Empire takes a dim view of dishonourable conflicts. We wish you success and an honourable death on your quest to stop them! We cannot join you, however, as we are too small and internally unstable to wage war against anyone but ourselves.

Qapla' Balth je', my friends!

"We are primarily defensive. Worry not. We can assist you in getting on your feet. Should any assault you, the full wrath of Minagoroshi shall be upon them."

Rest assured, Menkata, we see right through you. We know what you plan, and this Facade will not last long... The Universe shall see you for what you truly are...

The Royal Dictatorship of Marak wishes to join your alliance, and hopes to establish trade and a technological exchange with all CAGE nations.

OOC: *Takes careful note and compares CAGE recruitment to Hammer of Light recruitment.* Looks like the ESUS may actually get a competent foe now. :P

All Members of CAGE, leave this terrible organization, and join the United Space Federation.

ooc: please see thread...

Hmm. I'm pulling my membership.

and the eradication of those who threaten us. We may even oppose the threat ESUS poses to all who do not bow to them."

Aah, such contradiction. You will crush all who threaten you and you twist the intentions of those not with you as a threat to all. I find this amusing. Anyhow, good luck in your endeavor, Neo-Mekanta, however misguided and misinformed you may be.

Yours,
Emperor Raziel of Penguenia

"We may even oppose the threat ESUS poses to all who do not bow to them."


The ESUS, as a whole, has never sought to crush 'all those who do not bow down to them', unlessby that you are reffering to those who initiate hostilities against a member state. It is a purly economic and mutual defence alliance.

Member states are, however, free to persue their own, individual agendas, including the initiaton of war, in which case they forfit the right to ESUS assistance in such a conflict.

Of course, we know that you know this; we simply seek to inform prospective members of your new alliance as to what the ESUS is, as you seem to feel that the ESUS will be a likly opponent in the future.

"Alliance, or members?"

"We feel the nation of Kanuckistan to behave honorably and well, but you are unfortunately in the minority. To associate yourselves with nations such as Mekanta, Corpsac, and Central Facehuggeria. Why stoop to that level?"

"Evil surrounds you, yet you don't seem to realize it. ESUS is not inately a threat, but many of your members make it so..."

"Central Facehuggeria. We have analyzed Mekanta's data on thier intelligence services. More than capable of making fake evidence of attacks, calling the ESUS constitution into play and bringing all of ESUS against a sole foe of thier nation."

"Mekanta. Guilty of enslaving an entire race. Over seven million souls held in unholy service to the Steel Imperium. Guilty of murdering over twelve to twenty seven million Ferans for nothing more than the enjoyment of the act."

"Corpsac, known to despise the alliance known as the AoN. Likely to commit acts of genocide against them."

"These three factors is all it takes for your entire alliance to be compromised. Is that really what you want to be associated with?"

"We want peace with ESUS, but those three nations are likely to make that impossible."

Formal Message from the Foreign Minister of the UFGZ:

To all prospective or member nations of the CAGE, do not cage youself in with the beast known as Neo-Menkata. Do not be fooled by lies, deceit, and deception. Be aware of those who would use you as pawns in a game of death...

I am not saying to trust my word completely, However I implore you to search these "truths" out for yourself. Do not trust words at face value from disreputable nations.

"Ironic that you tell people to beware lies and deciet, when you're lying and decieving."

"Despite Neo-Mekanta rarely exibiting a sence of humor except when mocking those who have made the mistake of angering us, we find it funny, really."

"No nation is innocent. We simply do not hide our deciet when we are being decietful."


-OOC-
Translation: It's pretty damn obvious when Neo-Mekanta is going to stab you in the back. None of those signs have been shown.

From the Chancellor's Desk:

Oh, This is precious. Give me ONE example of lying and deceitfullness on the part of the UFGZ. Neo-Menkata must not continue to spread lies about the ESUS and AoN. If Neo-Menkata does not cease in this campaign of lies and deception, they will wreak havoc upon those nations gullible enough to believe their stories. Neo-Menkata must end its bloviating, for they have nothing honorable to speak of themselves about.

With Great Concern,
The Chancellor of the Federation

EDIT: Damn, it reverted me to being logged in on Mekanta.

Sorry about that little SNAFU. The problem with juggling two competing nations. No, I just HAD to go for the challenge... <_<"

-IC-
In a surprising display of a sense of sentient humor, Neo-Mekanta actually begins mocking GZ.

(OOC: Signs that Neo-Mekanta is... changing...?)

"'Oooooh... You not trust Mekantas. Me Oog of Germanische Zustande say Neo-Mekanta bad. But me no think good, so me spew stuff saying Neo-Mekanta bad. But me no realize Neo-Mekanta pure compared to so called 'good' nations.'"

"Pfft..."

(OOC: That "Pfft" would have to sound pretty strange with Neo-Mekanta's whole Omnivoice thing... A billion voices going "Pfft" at once...)

"You claim to be so much higher, but you insult the intelligence of nations by telling them not to join this alliance. Leave which alliance to join up to the nation."

"This is your last warning. Cease communications on this topic. You are trying the Unifications patience..."

"... Silly apes..."

((OOC: I seem to remember CAGE existing far before this. In fact, I think I was a member.

Oh, and what's this ESUS thing, anyway?))

The Restored Extra Solar Union of Systems (ESUS) is a Mutual Trade, Defence and Technological Exchange Alliance. See the link in The Mindset's signature for the alliance website.

-OOC-

Damn! Is that old CAGE gone or will I have to switch?

Eh. ESUS is another Future Tech alliance. Essentially, I'm trying to create CAGE to counter ESUS's growth. The idea of me and a couple ESUS members now that the Shivans, mortal enemy of ESUS, are dying.

Care to bring balance to the universe? I've seen your RPing. Very nice. ^_^

((OOC: I would, but there're two things that keep me out of it.
#1: Tech sharing - I'm a corporation. If everyone has what I sell, I'm boned.
#2: Automagfreek - He tells me what to do, military-wise. If I was to join an alliance, it would be pointless, because I couldn't attack without AMF's permission. Plus, the more alliances I'm in, the more of a chance it'll conflict with his web of alliances, which I trust more than my own.

Sorry about that. It's just the downside to being a corporation, I guess. :( ))

ooc: so, you're like the borg essentially?

ic:

Look! Lo, Neo-Menkata has not shown ONE incidence of lying, cheating, or other deceitfulness on the part of the UFGZ. Because they CANNOT! And, to cover up their lack of evidence, they begin to mock those who expose the truth! Surely thou seest through their web of lies? Paythee will not fall into that trap which they have so readily sprung, and now attempt to keep the well-meaning from removing the trap. As has been states before, do not listen to either at face value, but look for yourselves, O nations of space! This is our final transmission, for we want not another war, though we doubt this nation that takes away the individual would precipitate war, for fear of their eve of destruction. Fare thee well, all of you, may your footsteps be ever guided.

"You have no evidence either. You lie to cover your own lack of proof."

"But it is useless. You apes lack logic. And you had been warned before."

"Minagoroshi is being prepared for dispatch to your space."

"Unless you are prepared to face one of the most powerful forces in the universe, we suggest you appologize NOW."

"Our patience is at its end. This is your last warning."

"We tire of your presence, and do not wish to have to anihilate you. But continue this foolishness and we will eradicate your government down to the families of your leaders."


-OOC-
And now you see that Neo-Mekanta, despite not being the largest nation, is dangerous simply because of its raw unpredictability and power.

Presently, the only nation expected to have any reliable defences against Minagoroshi is Central Facehuggeria. Well, and Kanuckistan just because he's FREAKIN' KANUCKISTAN. (Damn Battleplates and thier neigh impenitrable shields. LoL)

And so it is revealed. You see now the true face of Neo-Menkata. We will not back down to any reviled creatures who ascribe to such twisted ideas as you. You have just now threatened the Federation, and as such, we take your action as a precipitation of war. DO YOUR WORST. You cannot win. Freedom and democracy, tolerance and honesty, shall overcome.

ooc: lol... wanted to do that... at war with Shivans, some alien race that's attacking ECF, and now Neo-Menkata... Heh heh... I am so thankful for the FSS Reagan and allies...

I want to make this clear:

I am not going to war because I want to, but because my government is so opposed to this kind of stuff ICly. I do think that my people would take great offense and understand it to be a declaration of war...

-OOC-
Heh. So your actions are dictated by IC "character" behavior too, ne? ^_^

Same way. It's always a lot more fun to stick to character for wars. Neo-Mekanta's motivation:

Surprisingly, the Will of Neo-Mekanta has mellowed out a lot ever since he created his "daughter" Minagoroshi. But it's still got something of a hair trigger. But hey, at least it didn't say anything about wiping out your entire race. Neo-Mekanta still lacks the ability to lie.

It's intentions in creating CAGE are actually good, and it honestly sees ESUS as a threat to the galaxy. It sees that Organics will rarely accept the superiority of Machines, and has learned to accept that.

Eh, but I digress. It'll be fun to cross swords with you. ^_^

Well, I might attack some outlying world of yours... could you give me a name?

-OOC-
Neo-Mekanta doesn't have worlds. They're nomadic. They just consume resources and go. And attacking the Unification Worldfleet is suicide unless you have a LOT of resources at your disposal. Your best bet is to try to find one of thier resource wings and try picking that off before they hit thier Triad Nodes and recall back to safety... or recall reinforcements to thier location.

Damn it, you had to post this RIGHT when I switch back to the "good" Mekanta. (What am I saying? They're BOTH evil...ish...)

I think that the FSS Reagan, our battleship that I am sure you are aware of, and a few hundred ships should be sufficient to attack this "resource ring."

With our new shields and weapons, we may be able to cause much damage...

OOC: Me, me pick ME!

IC: The Warmongering Dictatorship of Cam III wouild like to join this Anti-ESUS alliance, I hate the ESUS.

The UFGZ stronly reccomends against that decision...

-OOC-
Heh. I'll make sure the Rabid Nanite Uberbitch (Minagoroshi) isn't present. I'll let you see what she's capable of later.

Who knows. Mekanta might give you a hand in this war, just to lash out at thier mortal enemies. But then again... Mekanta doesn't exactly like GZ either. If they do help, it'll be kind of a "lesser of two evils" thing.

There's a Wing of the Worldfleet in an asteroid field at the Gorugathka System. Go ahead and have a probe stumble upon them. They'll destroy it and hang around gathering minerals to Triad Point back to the fleet. Not knowing your fleet is comming. ^_^

-OOC-
I hate you all. Making me have to switch puppets every time someone posts to get IC stuff done. LoL

"We will allow Cam III, but we shall watch you closely. Do not accept assistance from Mekanta, for they are a powerful force of ESUS!"

"ESUS shall be dealt with when we are in a favorable position to attack."

"Presently, it would be most wise for you to recover from your recent wars and grow in power."

"... Might we suggest shedding your mortal flesh for the superiority of machines?"

(OOC: Tell me some of you saw that comming... <_<")

we here at bob the samuri would be more than happy to join you.

(OOC: Well, you're kinda new... Eh. You show any signs of godmoding, however, and Neo-Mekanta will throw you out of CAGE and turn on you.)

"... We welcome you... cautiously..."

-OOC-

The whole thing about godmoding = kick and attack applies to everyone, BTW.

And yes, you'll get warnings before you get Minagoroshi climbing down your throats.

Question for Neo-Menkata: What exactly do you plan to do to help fledgling nations whom have just reached the frontier of space? Will you provide economic or technological aide or will you let them fend for themselves?

The USF's mission is to aid the weak, new, and defenseless... Join the USF...

What does the USF offer?

Mutual defense, Trade, new technologies... etc... we haven't worked everything out yet, we are new, but the mroe people, the faster things get done...

"Neo-Mekanta will provide assistance with anything you require to aid your development. Technology. Trade partners. Military assistance. Engineering assistance."

"It is our goal to see to it more nations become strong Space nations."

"If you seek immortality and power, shed your mortal flesh and ascend. Neo-Mekanta can help you..."

This interests the Royal Family of Marak greatly. We have long attempted to increase our power through genetic tampering, but it can only go so far. So tell us, how does one shed ones mortal flesh?

"The Unification has long studied the minds of organics, first our own race, and recently Terrans..."

"It is essentially a matter of transferring the entire mind, not to be confused with the brain, into a mechanical shell. This can be done techologically or psionically..."

"It hurts a moment... But then pain will never touch you again... Immortality, clearer thought, and greater ability will all be yours."

To all other "race/creche"...Do not merge with the Neo-Mekanta. They are a creche of death and all others who merge with it will cease existance/die!

Join/merge with ESUS, we are the collective creche of life!

We assume this would cut off the ability to feel any stimuli? We ask this because the the Royal family are hedonists at heart and this would limit their...pursuit of earthly pleasures greatly.

"Negative. Our machines are quite capable of feeling... pleasure... when the Unification grants it."

"There is a class of machine created by Neo-Mekanta, called the Simulant. It looks human, feels human, appears human by all human senses. But it is a machine... Capable of far more than a human."

"All machines made using Mekantan technology are capable of being outfitted with the ability to sense like an Organic, but a Simulant may provide you the best conversion... To allow your people to become accustomed to being free from your mortal flesh..."

This Unification you speak of, is it some form of hivemind? If we were to convert the Family would they be under your control? We are sorry for all the questions but we must think this through before we go and convert anyone.

This Unification you speak of, is it some form of hivemind? If we were to convert the Family would they be under your control? We are sorry for all the questions but we must think this through before we go and convert anyone.

Your querries are wise/seeking of wisdom/seeking of knowing. Do not seek to merge with the Neo-Mekantan creche. Death will hunt you!!

"Negative. Your royal family would be Individuals like our Mekantan bretheren. Thier thoughts will remain thier own."

"But to answer your question regarding our glorious Unification... It is, indeed, what some call a 'Hivemind'. The Machines of Neo-Mekanta share all thoughts, coordinating our actions across the cosmos in perfect harmony. It will be possible for your Royal Family to experience it if they choose to listen in, or to connect the minds of your Family. But all is your own decision."


"And we remind the Sskiss... Neo-Mekanta has long mastered the art of throwing ASTEROIDS/"EGGS OF DEATH" at races..."

Very Well. With great enthusiasm we request the conversion of all six members of the royal family to be converted into Simulant forms, and that they remain complete individuals. Is there anything we should know now that they shall soon be joining the ranks of the machine?

"Yes..."

"That your nation has risen above the organic-controlled Nations of Man."

"You may send an armed fleet with your Royal Family to the Worldfleet, or we can travel to you, depending on your nation's location."

(OOC: Care to turn this into an RP to document that it's happened and just for the sake of making a new topic? ^_^)

ooc: sure why not. Be easy on me, this is my first character rp and I am bad at it


IC: The Raven, the flagship of the Marakese armada lumbered towards the Menkata worldfleet. Hundreds of drones swarmed or crawled on its surface repairing the damages brought on by warp travel. Its escort orbited around the Raven, scanning for enemy movement real or imagined. Nestled within the Raven's boarding tube sat the Marak royal family. Arch Tyrant Joseph sat next to his wife, Mara, thier children, Joseph II and Mara II both of adult age sat opposite them. None of the four said anything to the other, all contemplated what they were about to undertake. A voice spoke over the intercom " Arch Tyrant, we are nearing the Neo-Menkata world fleet," Joseph silently nodded and tightened the grip on his wife's hand and muttered " I wonder what life as a machine will be like,"

-OOC-
I meant a new thread, actually.

I'll create it.

ooc: ah I see, sorry

-OOC-
No problem. ^_^

Just made the topic.

Interesting; there have been private and government ventures of varrying sucess into the transfer of mind to machine in Kanuckistan over the centuries. Presently the method of choice involves cybernetic augmentation of the centeral nervous system and gradual replacment and expansion of jellyware aspects, effectivly allowing the individual to 'grow into' the machine aspect, often with psionic and/or biochem/nanite assistance. A fairly common procedure for mental augmentation, however, very few choose the full mind and body replacment route.

We'd be interested in knowing more about your own procedures.

OOC: Am I like the only member?!?!?! Wheres the board? Will there be a region?

ooc: Jeez calm down Cam. I'm also a member. Neo-Menkata, perhaps you should advertise all the amazing benefits and free stuff you'll give to joining nations, that'll reel em in.

-OOC-
*tentacle rapes Cam III*

I'm working on the goddamn board! Just be patient.

The closest thing there is to a region is The Unification Worldfleet. I'll help any CAGE nation who wants to become nomadic to achieve that state.

Presently, counting the estimated number of ships for a nation planning on joining, there are in excess of 30,000,000 ships in the Worldfleet. Granted, most of them are the "city" ships of the fleet, and only VERY lightly armed. But still, when that fleet is around you'd better PRAY you don't piss it off.

I can host a board, if you wish.

The Empress Nyera Keltoi of Nachturnus baydes greetings to the people of CAGE. The great empire of Nachturnus wishes to performa military alliance with the organization of CAGE. We will help you batter the ESUS, under one condition. Noone may touch the nation of Aegeus, There is an age old Feud between Aegeus and Nachturnus. we intend to settle it soon.

OOC: Sorry dudes. Also, when we attack the ESUS, I want to destroy Sarzonia.

-OOC-
Thanks mate, but it's okay. I'm setting up a crappy free board now. ^_^

http://s4.invisionfree.com/CAGE_Central/

Still under construction at the moment, but I'll get everything up soon. ^_^

The Dictatorship of Slimestoria, eager to spread to the stars above, wishes to join CAGE, if the offer is still open.

"The offer is always open. We welcome you."

Thank you for letting our small nation join such a powerful organization.

"All nations begin small. It is with time and assistance they gain strength."

"If you wish, we are able to assist you to become stronger. Shedding mortal flesh, abandoning reliance on planets and joining the Worldfleet, assisting you in developing new assets."

"Ask, and we shall see how we may assist you."

Any assistance that you can provide would be most appreciated.

But, may I ask, what assistance do you speak of? I have already begun to build a space fleet, though it is still small.

"Weapons and defense technology. Production assistance."

"Soon, we will be unveiling a project that will benefit all of CAGE greatly..."

Is it some kind of new weapon?

-OOC-

Well, one is going to be called either "Giygas" or "Gyges" (personally, I'm leaning towards the first one, but I'll leave it up to a vote. ^_^)

The other will be "Ixmucane"

And there's ONE hint I'm giving you. "BIG"

Very very BIG. And open to all CAGE members regardless of being part of the Worldfleet.

Speaking of which...


Neo-Mekanta will be helping anyone who wants to abandon planets and become part of the nomadic fleet. Cheaper resources, access to Neo-Mekantan coreship factory sectors until Giygas/Gyges is complete (opps, another hint! ~_^) unless you want to make your own factories, and protection of the Worldfleet by everyone would make defence a lot easier. ^_^

Eh, but it's up to you guys. ^_^

ooc: Marak is intriuged! Tell us a little more about these world fleets

-OOC-
Eh, not much to say except it's a big nomadic fleet that consumes resources from systems it's passing through. Lots of ships. It can scatter in an emergency. Will eventually have two artifiicial worlds running around in it. Not much to say, really.

NOW STOP SPAMMING IN MY GODDAMN TOPIC!!!

How many members have we got so far?

The Empire of Earagond would like to join this "CAGE". Although we have very few ships,and none of them are suited for combat,we have advanced quickly in the ground forces department and are quite up-to-date with all new technologies.We have nanites,power suits,hovertanks, etc.
We believe that if we join this alliance we will be able to benefit and advance in our technology level even more,and for that we shall help all members of CAGE in times of need.

OOC: I've got a "good" space nation,a "nuetral" space nation,so I might as well have an "evil" space nation! :p

OOC: Sorry dudes. Also, when we attack the ESUS, I want to destroy Sarzonia.

OOC: I'm guessing that wasn't too good of an idea to say in public :D

OOC: Umm, ok, but it can't be used in an IC post because it is an OOC post. And any way, Sarzonia ignores me....

ooc: just bumping

Marak, I'm placing you second in command of this alliance. ^_^

Why you over Cam III? Because, quite frankly, I wouldn't trust Cam with string. <_<"


Earagond, consider yourself in. I'm too lazy to swap to Neo-Mekanta to make an IC post letting you in. ^_^

ooc: I'm honored to be given such a title, and oh Cam III-In your face! In your face!

OOC:This is Earagond.I'm also too lazy to log in as Earagond,and I want to raise my post count on this nation. So...Yeah. Anway,can I be commander of the ground forces?Pretty pretty please? ^_^

Well, day to day military operations will likely be handled by individual nations.

But if I get enough people to join up in the Worldfleet, it will probably be more feasable to create a unified fleet to deal with threats to the entirety of CAGE. I'm even working on two artificial planets, the factory world Gyges and the massive military depot and spaceport Ixmucane, to facilitate such a fleet.

ooc: bump and I wonder at how many active members we currently have

... What? I'm bored out of my goddamn mind. Creative-ish Bumps = Better Than A Simple "Bump"

I've got an idea... You can wreak more havoc if you need something to do... Just turn on you ESUS allies and do as much damage as possible...

-OOC-
No, Mekanta's new Grand Armada still isn't ready. And they're not the backstabbing type. Unless you're an ally they don't like. In which case (Underwater Asylum...) you're Akujin Chow.

Now out. No GZ allowed in this topic.

The Emperor Taria of the Tiu house

" A new alliance to give the greatest technolgies in the universe to the petty and the weak? what poor stuff indeed. The Jitanese Empire has been on the forefront of space technolgies for many long years, there is nothing to be gained from an alliance of this sort be you new or ancient. Such alliances inevitably lead to misfortune, either through war,or internal backstabbing. The Empire opposes this alliance mightily. I have spoken."
