TRANSMISSION BEGINS:
*Image and Video files attached, playing video*

A video of a massive city of 50 million people plays, the citizens in the foreground look happy and healthy, and in the background aircraft weave in between the skyscrapers, and massive transports can be seen in the background. Suddenly the scene changes. Piles of corpses can be seen in the streets, with troops in respirators and hazmat suits patrolling the streets. One of the troops collapses and twitches. People can be seen writhing on the ground, covered in sores.

The eternal Imperium of Ankhmet would like to make a request to all who will hear it.

A picture of a humanoid shape, seven feet tall, comprised entirely of light flickers on screen for a few seconds.



The Imperium is dying. After a campaign heading out into an unexplored arm of the galaxy we have been struck by disaster. During a routine plague bombing a civilian transport escaped and made it to an Ankhmeti border Hive City. Unfortunately, the transport carried a strain of our most deadly viral agent. Within a day hundreds were infected. In two days only ten people had died. Within a week the entire population was under crackdown, and troops deployed. We had to blaze bomb the surface of the planet in an attempt to prevent escape. But roughly ninety ships escaped. They split up and all went into the different sectors of the Imperium. 90% of all worlds are infected. The capital city is deserted, our Gods have left us. Ra, Horus and Semerkhet all left for their higher plane of existence, and took all their artifacts. Across the galaxy all artifacts created by the gods no longer work.

The agent is extremely contagious, and has a 97% mortality rate. Within ten hours of infection, the virus can destroy most of the lymph nodes, and cripple the immune system. It then overwhelms all major organs.

Help.

( I am speaking for my other nation)

The Dominion Axis is sad to hear what has happened. We can help you. However in payment we want a none Aggerssion Pact with you. If you accept we can have our ships there in two hours with a possible cure.

<Hyperspace communication...>

TO: To whom it may concern.
FR: The Foreign Office, Draconic Order
SU: Relief issue

Because of the nature of the incident, the fact that the plague incident was a direct action of the government of Ankhmet against its own people, and therefore have brought their own death. The Dominion of the Draconic Order will thereby do nothing to help or hinder any relief efforts to the incompetent government mentioned.

Mean while the USS Ulysses a galaxy class star ship was gliding slowly in the night as the message came in,

The operations officer was taping his console, rather quickly as he saw a message . he looked over to the captain and said “sir we have an incoming transmission “, the captain peaked a brow and said ”on screen! , or audio ..” the ops officer tapped his console several times starting to play the message…

The Capitan sighed and looked a bit shocked, looking over to helm ”wares that transmission coming from!?”, the helms men looked over quickly “195,mark 145, mark 182” the captain sat back in his chair sighing as his crew worked quietly around him, he said” set a course to that system maxim warp!, CO to CMO prepare for a medical situation”, he took a breath and said “engage!” with that the galaxy class ship rushed in to warp, toward the distress call. About 2 hours passed before the ship dropped out of warp.

Helm “sir we have dropped out of warp in the system “ the captain looked over a bit tense saying “ get us to the affected planet full impulse!” the large 642 m ship rushed in to the system its engines rumbling slowly towards the affected planet.

The captain taped on a comm. panel saying > This is the federation star ship Ulysses, we have heard your distress call and are ready to assist you in any way possible we have some medical facilities aboard we could help you synthesize a cure for this plague please respond.”

It is said that if you continually use dishonourable methods to defeat your prey, the Black Warrior will eventually bring the same fate upon you. And in this instance, he has surpassed himself with some most delicious irony.

I hope you relish in the consequences of your own disgrace. It is, after all, your own doing. The Black Warrior wins all battles. I fear for the soul of the warrior who dies in disgrace.

Due to your lack of security and preperation for these incidents the Shadow Realm sees no reason in assisting you in your plight. Though the only thing we will do is obliterate any of your vessils that enter our sovergn space.

*the image of the warrior made of light appears on screen*

The new faithful will live long after you are gone and dust. I am Ra. I am all. I am the death of my people, and their rebirth. It is a shame that my people must die out again, but it matters not. I have created this second Ankhmeti Dynasty, I will create a third. Perhaps they will have an instinctive hatred of you?

This is an automated message. The planet you have contacted is uninhabited, or has less than 5% population surviving. The planetary population was wiped out by plague. As a result, planetary defenses are active. Any attempt to land will be met with a barrage from the planetary guns, and *10* squadrons of *drone fighters*. This is nothing personal, but an attempt to safeguard Ankhmeti cultural sites and technology for the time when the Tombships return. If any crew land on the planet, the DCU (Drone Combat Unit) command centre will deploy all forces. If the encryption on our central computer databases is broken, an instant self destruct will be enacted. There will be no countdown, and no warning, just oblivion. To make contact with the Ankhmeti Emergency AI please hail the governor. You will be contacted by out emergency AI system. The same goes for all Ankhmeti worlds.

If you are here seeking our STC database, it has been removed to our Q-Space facility. Access is impossible.

OOC: I hope you're not actually RPing a god, because... well, you could add another word onto 'god' to make it something else, if you were.

ooc:The leader of Ankhmet isn't a God, he's just horribly powerful with strings attached. He only has power within the borders of the Imperium, and even then he can't "OMG MEGA GODZOR KILLZ YOOR FLEETZORZ!". He's ascended to a higher plane of existence, and got some nifty powers into the deal. Think of the Gods in Black and White, but with some differences. Ra isn't just a hand.

Massive energy swells at a single point in space near the planet of the Hive City.... followed shortly by the apature of a wormhole forming from nowhere in space. Mysteriously being stabalized by some unknown source..... moments later a vessel emerges from the wormhole, markings show name and hull number... TRSS Thor, BSG-23..... The ship weihts in at 35,200,000 metric tons, is 3060 meters in length, 1,200 meters accross her beam, and 650 meters in height.... Scans indicate the presence of almost 8,500 life forms aboard....

As the vessel drifts to a stop over the planet, the wormhole rapidly collapses onitself, dissappearing from existance....

A transmission ensues....

Eternal Imperium of Ankhmet, this is Vice Admiral Horus Mitar, commanding officer of the TRSS Thor, representing the Constitutional Republic of Tekania, all of her protectorate systems, and the GEDRA... We have received your message, and are carrying medical staff to assist in the elimination of this plague of yours... The Thor will be standing by for receipt of your message....(Message ends)

I am Caelestis.

The citizens are all dead. There is nothing which can be done here. There is one thing that would help the last Ankhmeti citizen alive. Out of almost 1.5 billion citizens, only one (not counting the Gods) has survived. I can inhabit this body. But the body must be removed fromt he planet. There is a small orbital station in a geosynchronous orbit above the Palace of Ra. Scan the station. You should detect a lifesign, a lifesign which is human, with some striking genetic differences. Please retrieve this body and transport it onto your craft. Do not worry. the station is sterile. It has been cloaked since a genetic engineering company produced this body for me. I only decloaked it once I saw all lifesigns die.

A sleek silver transport ship flew towards the planet. The words "GadgetCorp Stelvan Alpha-Class" were written on its side in radiant white paint, and could be easily read, despite the darkness of the void. Inside the command deck, monitering agents were at work, scans of the planet showing up on their consoles. "We are nearing the planet, sir," said a squid-like being, covered completely by a white biohazardous suit. The captain nodded, as he watched the Imperium planet come ever closer. The sound of an automatic sliding door alerted him that the attendant had come back with his coffee. "Here's your coffee, captain Verge," she said, walking to him. Unfortunately, at that moment, unforseen turbulence rocked the ship, sending the attendant flying into a console, inadvertantly activating the hypersace vortex drive. The ship disappeared in a flash of light, the only sound was as if a hundred people had all said "Birvip." Luckily, because no hyperspacial coordinates had been set, the jump did not last, the craft just appearing much closer to the planet, beginning to circle in an orbit.

"Sir," says the Comm officer, turning to Vice Admiral Mitar... We are receiving an automated message... wait, sir, another message, patching it through....."

"Can we get a transporter lock, Lieutenant Monroe?" asks VADM Mitar...

"Hold on sir, trying...." responds LT Monroe, the ships science officer....

OOC: You may want to revise that, the Thor is not on the surface, it is in orbit.....

ooc:I truly hate the script writers of Stargate. Stealing Egyptian stuff so that whenever you use Egyptian names everyone's like: 'Like in Stargate!'

OOC: Similar, though I have some loose Stargate type technologies.... All my ships are named after Gods..... but that is not in refference to StarGate, since I use Greek, Norse, Babylonian, Assyrian, and Hindi gods....

(Odin, Thor, Loki, Freyre:Norse)
(Kali, Ganesha, Shiva :Hindi)
(Orion, Pegasus, Chronos, Zeus, Poseidon, Aphrodite :Greek)
(Aruru, Anshar, Tiamat : Babylonian/Assyrian)
