The Great Exodus

Parlim

OOC: I'm tired of playing as a modern nation; gonna give future-tech a try.

Port Pepsi, Parlim

The black smog dimmed the sky. Polution truly was an issue nowadays, though not one Parlimians would be concerned with much longer, at least not on this rock.

Crowds gathered around the massive colony ships. Everyone was carrying everything they owned, and even the poor were afforded a seat. New military craft wizzed around at high altitudes, watching for anyone who would try to disrupt the planned exodus. The last twenty years were invested in this move, and they would let no one jepordize it.

Days later, the crowds had completely disapated into the massive ships. The entire population, some ten million people. The ships sat lifeless for several hours, until a rumbling eminated from them. With little warning, a massive storm of fire engulf the city and the series of colony ships lifted into the air.

They would fly out of Sol together, in search of an area of space to call their own. Meanwhile, all of the people leaving would help man the heavily-armed colony ships.

Some background on the colony ships:

They are massive Noah's Arks, with DNA samples for hundreds of animals native to Parlim so they can be cloned at a later date. Though the weapons loadouts are classified, I can say that they have a whole lot of guns. The number of people each can carry is classified (as is most of the project, if you haven't figured that out). They are gigantic, and they have to be. Biggest things ever built by Parlimian engineers. Plans were created twenty years ago to meet with the Exodus operation. Construction followed shortly. They all carry a huge amount of food, minerals for construction and other important things.

where is your home planet, in relation to the solar system, and are you flying towards it or away from it. I could rp the next part if you want me to!

OOC: First, sorry if this seems hasty. I was in quite a hurry when I wrote it, but you get the jist. Second, Bump.

IC: The planet we are leaving is (NS) Earth, heading in the general direction out of the Sol System. We have no particular planet or system in mind, but we do hope to find a system where we can spread out our 1.79 billion people.

okay then however, I wouldn't stray to far away from the solar system! Or you might bump into us!

A fleet (24) of warships approach the colony ships, but stay out of weapons range. A transmission is sent out:

"Greetings to you, Citizens of Parlim. We are overjoyed to witness the Exodus of another nation. On behalf of the Colonists of New Exodus and our Commander, Michael Haase, we wish you the best of luck in your journey. If you would allow us the honor, we would gladly provide escort for you as far as the Kuiper Belt."

Though out of range, the massive armada of colony ships tilt their equally numerous weapons at the incoming fleet. On board the lead Colony Ship, the "New Horizon", President Jackson Maverick stood on the bridge. Finally, the silence was broken.

"We're recieving a message. Odd freqency. I've adjusted it so we can hear it, and respond."

"Put it through"

The message played over the bridge's loudspeakers, "Greetings to you, Citizens of Parlim. We are overjoyed to witness the Exodus of another nation. On behalf of the Colonists of New Exodus and our Commander, Michael Haase, we wish you the best of luck in your journey. If you would allow us the honor, we would gladly provide escort for you as far as the Kuiper Belt."

Everyone sighed with relief. The weapons systems froze, and sank back into their housings.

"Respond with the following message, 'Thank you for the offer. We accept your escort. Do you know of any uninhabitted system nearby? We are a bit uncertain of our FTL (Faster than Light) drives and wish we could be spared too long a trip."

OOC: Sure, Federal Union. Just making sure you didn't want to blow away my colonists. ;) Thanks Warhaven. I'm sure, though, that with all the guns on all the colony ships (and there are a lot of colony ships, over five hundred) and the escorts, we'll be fine against attack for a while.

mean wile approaching the convoy unknowingly the star ship UFS Enterprise – E was making its way towards the convoy at high warp …

Captain bastidas sat in his chair sighing a bit saying “again with the back log missions of exploration..” his operations officer was scanning the near by space when he discovered the convoy on sensors he said excitedly “sir were detecting a large convoy of ships they seem to be civilian and military …” rob stood up and said “ hmm set a Crouse to intercept them we could use a first contact now “ with that the helms officer taped a few buttons and the ships dropped out of warp right beside the convoy a few officers were walking about the bridge working inconspicuously on systems the enterprise – E glided over a bit

OOC: Heh.

"Sir, we've detected another ship. It has considerable weapons systems. They look beam-based."

Jack sighed, "Let's hope they don't want to kill us. Open a channel."

"Yes sir. Channel open."

"Greetings! I'm am President Jackson Maverick of the Parlimian Exodus Convoy. May I inquire as to your purpose?"

the captain nodded and cut the channel he said to the helms officer who was monitoring star charts to set a course for the system the helms men nodded and casually taped a few buttons the Enterprise it self jumped to warp and transmitted the coordinate to the convoy of the system rob sat back smiling feeling good about helping these people mean wile others around him casually worked 2 crewmen discussing normal business a yeoman walked up to rob and handed him a report he smiled and said "thank you " he started reading the report as the yeomen walked away the tactical officer was humming the helms men was sitting back yawning a bit rob finished his report and put it on the near by empty seat he sat back and waited .

From the depths of space a BORG cube dropped out of Transwarp having picked up unusual movement at the far edges of BORG space. the Cube moved over towards the ships, all of them previously un encountered and began scanning them all. Anyone on the ships who was paying attention to space would have seen the Green scanning beams cascading over the ships in the territory picking up knowledge such as: Propulsion types and speed, weapons capabilities sheild types and frequencies and how many life signs were on each ship. As it scanned, It altered its own weapons and sheilds to match enemy signatures so as to be impervious to current signatures.

The sensor's on all the other ships in the area started going crazy, a huge energy spike was welling up nearby. A massive vessel at least 40 kilometers long began to phase in from Immaterium space. the vessel looked more like a giant cathedral than a ship, scans would indicate at least 2,000 lance gun batteries on either side of the ship and 5 broadsides on each side, each broadside fired a torpedo about the size of a skyscraper. It had a pair of fins on the back of it. The ship itself was blood red and had a symbol of a drop with wings on the fins. On the bridge, Brother Captain Maximillian of the Adeptus Astartes stood towering over the regular crew. He was a space marine, standing over 7 feet tall clad in his blood red power armor and white cloak he ruled the ship and the marine companiy aboard. They had been travelling through warp space from their homeworld of Baal for a month, a month in the warp was a year in real space, he frowned as the sensors beeped he noticed the other vessels in this area of space. "Who are these beings that dared to approach most holy Terra?" he said, his voice deep and commanding, "Hail them." The comm officer hurried to comply, "channel open brother captain!" "This is Brother Captain Maximillian of the Blood Angels of the Adeptus Astartes, guardians of the Imperium of Man, identify yourselves and your reason for daring to approach holy terra, or be destroyed."

"We've reiceved message from a ship. They want to know why we approaching 'the ancient holy terra'. They are threatening destruction They're big, but not big enough to take on all of us, plus our escorts."

"The 'Ancient Holy Terra'? Earth? Alright, inform them we are not approaching their Terra, but are moving in the opposite direction of it. Secondly, we will not stand up to threats."

"Message sent. Sir, another vessel has just scanned us. It's pretty damn big, but could still be overwhelmed through sheer numbers. I'm not quite sure what it wants, but it looks hostile."

"Damn it. Are there so many people out there with nothing better to do than try to destroy us? I really don't like this. Inform the rest of the convoy to go weapons hot. Power up the FLT and enter the coordinates to the system pointed out to us by Captain. Inform our escorts that we will be jumping shortly, and ask if they can provide cover. Also, try your best to mask our trail. I highly doubt they'll want to attack us once we've set up a perimiter."

The convoy jumped, leaving the possible enemy behind. They did not persue.

(OOC: That basically means I've ignored Sanguinis for two reasons, one, he's playing the Warhammer Universe and I'm not and because of the god-mod that is his ship (no offence, but torpedos the size of skyscrapers? Not feasible. Warhaven, I really don't want to RP a war right now, so please don't try.)

OOC- Meh, ah well I tried, plus um the size of the torpedoes is feasible for Warhammer I guess, so screw it all, ah well. :cool:

The New Exodus fleet moved quickly to form a hemisphere around the colony vessels, and began charging their weapons. "Parlim Exodus Fleet, we will cover your jump to FTL. If the unidentified vessels follow, so will ours. The best of luck to you." He then ordered his comm. officers to begin jamming the sensors of the unidentified craft in the hopes it would impede pursuit.

The fleet of Colony ships dropped out of FTL inside the targeted system. Everyone lasped momentarily, distracted by the odd "pop" caused by jumping in and out.

The computer automatically began scanning the system and Jackson, unphased by the "pop" Stood up and said, "We've found our Horizon."

"Sir, the computer's finished scanning."

"Put up the results."

(OOC: I'll post the system overview later.)

OOC: Actually I am not trying to do a war. the computers I am at, I can only currently use in the morning. I was merly scanning you for future knowledge of the collective. My space spans several Light years in several parts of space. You happened to wander across a very small part of it. I picked it up, wandered out there, and scanned everybody. I wouldn't start a war with you anyway. The BORG seek perfection, humans detract from perfection. On top of that, The Fedral Union wanted to do some sort of an RP with me so I want to offically *find* his space so that when he is ready and Telegrams me with the details, There won't be any problem when he is ready.

IC: the scanners picked up the energy trail of these new people. The cube tracked them down to their new coordinates, opened up a transwarp conduit in space, and flew to their new location. Upon finding a complete new section of space, the Collective called back the cube to BORG territory section 5. Someday, the Collective would send a probe out to scan and map this new section of space.
