Mekanta requesting Resource Assistance (ESUS and Allies)

"The Steel Imperium is still trying to recover from the devestating attacks on our territories (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=350762) executed by, we believe, Neo-Mekanta."

"Our fleet is almost completely destroyed, and without our territories we have no way of recovering resources to rebuild it."

"That is why we turn to our allies for help, and offer you technology in exchange for resources. Our friends in ESUS know what we offer, and those other allies are welcome to ask. Let us just say, that we are offering the Reflex Cannon technology in exchange for help..."

(OOC: woohooo, first offer)

The Black Empire is willing to offer three of our uninhabited solar systems for your nation to mine, as well as transporting the asteroids and planets (in pieces) to wherever you require them.

We've committed several million slaves to the synthesis plants as well as the recyclers. You will have those resources! Even if we have to enslave a billion more people!

On a side note, are there any nations out there that want to get rid of their excess population?

(Basically, two million slaves have been fed into recyclers right off the bat, their body's resources being broken down by disassemblers and turned into basic oxygen, hydrogen, etc. Another four million slaves are working in the manufacturing facilities to turn their recycled friends and family into resources for you.)

"We thank the close ally nation of CorpSac for it's generous offer. Our construction facilities in the Nexus remain fully intact, so we must decline your offer of production assistance."

"To all nations that assisted us, we have sent data on the Reflex Cannon, including the Reflex Warhead and Yamato Cannon."

Having visited Mekantan territory via the trans-spatial gate to deliver resources and goods to Mekanta in the past, Captain Ellen Rawlings, in command of the first freighter group arrived to Mekantan space using the recently developed E.M.I.D drive since the gates did not open to Mekanta due probably ot damage sustained during conflict.. As the ships appeared practically out of nowhere the lead freighter "Bull" opened hailing frecuency..

Attention Mekanta, this if Freighter Group 1 from Argheraal, Captain Ellen Rawlings in command with resources, processed ores and minerals, and gases.. tell us where you want them unloaded.. Rooster as follows:

The "Bull" Monolith heavy freighter carrying 30,000,000 tons of processed ores and minerals.
The "Orpheus" Monolith heavy freighter carrying 30,000,000 tons of processed ores and minerals.
The "Elephant" Monolith heavy freighter carrying 30,000,000 tons of processed ores and minerals.
The "Carthago" Heavy freighter carrying 2,000,000 tons of electronics.
The "Bulldog" Heavy freighter carrying 2,000,000 tons of electronics.
and 3 "Zeus" Super Tankers carrying 10,000,000 litters of gases each.

Meanwhile at Esus HQ, Jennifer Bonham talks with Unit 1...

"There's this System, Iota CB, a small sytem with an F2 type star, three planets about the size of venus and mars with no athmosphere and two gas giants, President Steel has authorized me to offer the system to you for mining of whatever you need.. also i was instructed to offer our help in mining said system and carry the stuff to Mekanta.."

-Mekantan "Deadspace"

A huge transport decloaks in front of the Argheraal ships, opening several bays.

"We shall take the shipment from here. We appologize for the transpace gate no longer operating. It was sabotaged by Mekantan units to prevent easy access to your space when we were attacked. We expect to have it online within three Tazuras."

Smaller drone transports run between the gigantic Mekantan transport and the Argeraal ships, ferrying materials to the Mekantan ship and Reflex Cannon components to the Argeraal ships. Once this is completed, the massive transport decloaks again.

"We thank you again for your assistance."


-ESUS HQ
Unit One nods. "Thank you for the offer of the system. We will not trouble you for assistance with mining. Our systems are quite- What the Abyss do you think you're doing!?"

Without warning aside from Unit One's exclaimation, Unit Two leaps. "Boobies!!" He gropes the Argeraal representitive from behind and runs off, Unit One obviously furious.

"EXECUTE HIM!!" He shouts, pointing at Unit Two as Unit Three runs after the other part of its Triumvirate. "I'm terribly sorry, Representitive Bonham. As I was saying, we should have no trouble mining and transporting materials."

-Mekantan "Deadspace"

Capt. Rawlings noded as she watched the drones unload the freighter's load.. Dont worry about it, we understand that the gates had to be deactivated, by whatever means, a second freighter group like this one should be comming in about two days, to deliver more goods. Also, Ambassador Bonham is relaying information of a system donated by our Government to yours for mining resources.. excuse me for a second..

Capt. Rawlings turned to a side screen as Cargo Master Isenson reported the last of the cargo gone over to the Mekantan transport, also, that the Reflex Cannon components were secured in cargo bay three..

Well, it is time to go.. glad to be able to help.. Helm, back to Argheraal space.. Comm, signal the group for departure..

The whole freighter group moves slowly.. after some 5 km of travel they suddenly wink out of existence, in less time it takes to blink.. they are there, then they are not.. not a ripple of gravity, or radiation.. or anything.. nothing..

-ESUS HQ

Very well 1, if you need help in anyway we could provide to help you rebuild, just let us know.. As she was saying this she is startled as Unit 1 shouts and she suddenly feels hands groping her for a brief moment.. EEEEEEEK!!!

She quickly stands to see Unit 2 running away.. She throws a stainless steel ashtray at his retreating form.. she cannot stop laughing.. Turn him into a lamp!! or some other sort of electrodomestic!!! She turns to Unit 1.. and here i was thinking you had him under control.. Very well, we will be sending a patrol once in awhile just to check how things go in Iota CB and to help if needed..

It is good for us, the UFGZ, to see that this nation who so blatantly attacked us while their own people were slaughtered, is reduced to smouldering worlds, great drifting wreakages of once-powerful ships.

Though you destroy the Great Monolith that comemmorated the deaths of valiant millions, we feel obligated to aid you in some small way. Maybe this will prevent war between us.

The Federation will send a convoy loaded with prefabricated shelters, various construction materials, automated construction bots, and foodstuffs. Please transmit the coordinates at which the freighters will unload their cargo.

Sincerely,

The Federation High Council

ooc: So... Do you have a ship named the SDF-1? Or how about a Fleet Commander by the name of Dolza...
Mekanta
26-08-2004, 17:26
-OOC-
Actually, a Mekantan-ization of Dolza's name would be "Dolxah" but I don't have one... yet...

But yeah, I do have a lot of Robotech based stuff. The Reflex Technologies, Spacefold, Protoculture. Particle Beams are from Master of Orion, same with the Stellar Converter (altered so as to be a Reflex Weapon) and some other toys I have. Granted, I change a lot of stuff so it has some more backing to it.

The Mekantan race though is a hidious miss-matching of traits from various races from two sci-fi universes I've made. The name and basic psychology from one. The physical form and psionics from another. The ship designs from a third race. ^_^

"We have no need of your assistance."

"What lies do you speak of? Mekanta has not attacked you. Our remaining two fleets are currently on defensive lockdown."

"We will accept help from no group that lies of attacks. Keep your assistance, ape."

Dana rapped on the slightly ajar door. A hoarse voice replied from within. "What."

She slowly pushed the door open and stuck her head in. "Yohanne, I know what happened at Normandeicht is hard to understand, but there has been an interesting new development."

She fully opened the door and made her way to the plush chairs in front of the Chanceller's desk. She pulled one over next to his side and sat down.

"The Mekantans are denying the attack. They say that their fleet hasn't left their homesystem since they were attacked by Neo-Mekanta."

-------------

We transmit to you now the sensor data from the attack at Normandeicht, as well as images of the damage to the facilities and the Monolith. Mekantan vessels targeted facilities of physcological importantce, and then fled the system.

Though you attacked us, we offer our support to a nation who has suffered enourmous casualties and destruction. Please accept whatever we can offer. We wish only to help.

Sorry my replies are taking a long time. Working on Mekanta's new post-reconstruction fleet. ^_^

My race is completely my work. Haven't played Halo. My tech is a miss-match of Robotechnology, Master of Orion tech, and my own creations. And my ships (my new designs) are the same style used as another race I created for a project.

The People were rioting because of the attack on Normandeicht, mainly because there had been no counter-attack. Well, no matter the cost, they would get their wish. However, it would mean just another front in the many wars the Federation was already fighting.

The Chanceller deeply regretted his decision, but retaliation had to be made. Every one of those freighters that the Federation had sent carried the primitive temporal erasure devices that the Federation had been testing. The freighters would come as close to the Mekantan fleet as possible, and then activate the erasure weapons. It was hoped that as much damage as possible could be done in a first strike.

If the Mekantans hadn't attacked the Federation, then this would indeed be a terrible, terrible wrong.

A particle beam streaks by one of the GZ ships as the Mekantan vessel closes, more ships flaring onto sensors as they drop cloaking devices and also close in on the GZ vessels.

No less than 13 Strikeships surround the GZ transports, weapons quite obviously charged, with more undoubtably cloaked nearby...

"Leave now."

ic: Another lone Federal freighter Folded into the location of the previous freighter. Knowing that there was no time, as the ship was still slightly removed from the STC, the freighter activated its Temporal Erasure wave. By the time that the Freighter had fully defolded, the wave had spread nearly 4 light-seconds away. The freighter continued to generate the Wave, but when it attempted to fold away, its power reserves were all but drained. The freighter was dead in the water.

Knowing damn well to stay away from the freighters, the Mekantan ships scrambled out of range of the erasure wave, one Strikeship not making it.

Intent on capturing the vessel intact, the ships sent several waves of Akumu mechaforms to punch through the hull and board the ship.


Meanwhile, Mekanta was already making its case to ESUS for total war against GZ. Underwater Asylum be damned.

Crystal Palais
28-08-2004, 19:14
As the Germanische freighter prepared to self-destruct and erase itself, a sizeable freighter bearing Crystal Palais' markings entered via hyperspace rather near it. A miscalculation by the helmsman, to be sure, who was only beginning his active duty, but no one thought it would be a serious problem.

The Avatar aboard, the same one who had been dealing with the ESUS in previous communications, keyed up an open frequency and transmitted, "Greetings! We have heard of your plight, and have arrived in order to deliver some things that we hope may aid you..."

Naturally, that's about the point that the Atheos' temporal wave went off. Every soul aboard the freighter, with the exception of the Avatar, got a particularly sick feeling for a moment, and then their freighter's hull dematerialized, leaving a good deal of raw material floating in space - along with the bridge, the bulkheads of which sealed quite quickly and kept most of the atmosphere in. Fortunately, the freighter was automated save for the bridge, preventing any casualties. Still, it was... disorienting, to say the least.

The Avatar blinked, glancing around the bridge and then at the main holographic display, which stated the ship's status was officially 'scrap metal'. "Oh dear."

This is the official Aegean situation in relation to the temporal bomb

BIC:

A small blue ball apears in space. a few bolts of lightning crackle as the point widens into a large circular hole. there is a slight rumble of background radiation as a large garm troop transport, loaded to the brim with Aegean shock troopers slowly exits the jump hole as a group of GZ freighters sit communicating to some mekantan ships. The Aegeans are making a stop over on their way to decimate the little populated pre-FTL planet of Ner'Zuhl. The ship aproaches the Mekantan shipyard. a commsman opens a channel to the Mekantan station.

"This is Garm Troop carrier, Perdition, requesting docking and refueling. We have several hundred thousand tons of resources as well."

The mekantan station was about to answer when seven of the GZ freighters warped out, and the other violently shook. Everyone monboard was overwhelmed with a wave of nausea as a huge blue shockwave radiated from the exploding freighter. The STC disturbance detectors designed to track nachturnian ships began going off the scale.

"Temproal shockwave, Suits, Brace yourselves!"

The shockwave begins to disipate as it aproaches the Garm, but it managed to clip one engine and a small peice of the docking bay. two thousand souls screamed as they were erased from the space time continuum.

The captain of the ship was thrown from his large fluffy bed in his quarters adjacent to the bridge.

"what the hell?"

the captain raced onto the bridge, covering himself with a silken sheet as he darted through the door. all the officers on the deck were rushing about, the chatter was almost deafening

"...damage control..."

"...attack of unknown source..."

"...what was that?..."

"...losses, 2,000..."

The captain's voice boomed out over the the other sensless babble

"What is going on?"

An ensign replied

"there was a massive temporal burst from a GZ vessel, is seems to have disabled a Crystal Palais ship. Weve had 2,000 casualties, marines are sealing the broken bulkeads. we've lost power to engines 3 and 6, engine 8 is totally gone, there is a large amount of dam..."

"Inform The Headman. Send duplicate messages to The Indran ambasador and to prince Gor'Dul..."

The five kilometer long armed merchantman KCV Beer n' Ammo apeared in Mekantan space just over a half light-second away from the GZ vessels, mere moments after they first arrived.

As demands were overheard, the vessel's commander ordered a combat alert; barrier feilds and weapons quickly readied - likly unwarrented, but the Book dictated caution in such situations. The crew would watch the events to transpire befor distracting the Mekantans with a hail. But nevertheless, there something just didn't seem...

There! Six freighters departed, but the seventh remains?

And then, the GZ vessel released... something, which annialated the Mekantan ships, and swept towards the Beer n' Ammo...

Then... Nothing...




Nothing happened; to the crew's relife, the temporal weapon's shockwave disipared harmlessly against the ship's ASPEW feild, leaving an oblong hole in it's expanding horizon - their only defece not a 'tactical' system at all, but rather the reality tweaking feilds that most of Kanuckistan had long sense taken for granted.

Needless to say, they immediatly jumped a few MSK away to wait for the situation to finish resolving itself, befor delivering the compressed hydrogen slurry and assorted refined elements in their holds.

--------------

A small moon - a scant 45 kilometers across - was to be donated to the reduilding of Mekanta. Already it had suffered the ravages of a small planet-cracker, it's shattered remaines gathered and slagged wholesale for transport and later processing befor being shipped out. This was only the first delivery.
