AUTOMATED MESSAGE TRANSMITTERS ONLINE

GLOBALNODE::DATA/DOOMSDAY/VACFAILURE/TOT/ABS/pw:32453536(resetting....done)/SEND

This is a warning to all ships about to enter this sector. Approximately 200 systems are absolutely inaccessible due to a massive health risk. You would do well to heed this warning.
The 200 systems area belonged to the Imperium of Ankhmet. Unfortunately, we were the victims of one of our own plagues. This plague can survive in a vacuum, in the cores of most engines and the blast of a nuclear device. No cures have been found. For this reason, Ankhmeti Hyperspace routes have been sown with Mass-Shadow devices, and we have a fleet of automated ships ('Tombships') hiding in Warpspace, ready to pounce on any ships attempting to use the Immaterium to enter Ankhmet. Defensive systems are in place on all colonies, and self destruct systems are also in place. If anybody manages to access our databases, the city they are in will explode. Our STC database has been moved to an other dimension, and so have all our museum artifacts. Looters will die.
As a final defence, most of our worlds are surrounded by minefields, and a great deal of the best realspace routes have been sown with mines.

This ominous warning brought to you by Ankhmeti Emergency and Disaster Recovery Agency.

MBB2-17 was quite a few lightyears from their borders, in unclaimed space, when it intercepted an emergency broadcast. This was one of few battleships carrying a crew on an exploration mission. MBB2-17 played the transmission to the crew, and they all stopped their work and looked around.

"That is most unfortunate," H2-9918746 said, looking over scans. "We could have rendered assistance if we had heard of this sooner. We would not be vulnerable to such an ailment."

"Indeed," H1-76 nodded. "It is also unfortunate that they even continue to threaten people even in death. We could have attempted to locate and assist any survivors had they not fortified their territory in such a manner."

"Quite so," H2-9918746 said. "Given their situation there is nothing further for us to do. MBB2-17, I believe the next star on our exploration agenda was X-11881847; do you concur?"

"Affirmative," MBB2-17 said. "I will go there now."

The ship rippled and disappeared as it entered interdimensional space, heading for a star a few hundred lightyears away.

"People of Ankhmet; hear us; once favored of Nurgle. You have displeased the Lord of Decay; you have been gifted, one and all, by his magnificent glory. Allow our PLague Marines to come and absorb this toxin; to show you, one and all that you are blessed by Nurgle. Look at you! You shall soon feel the strength of plague and disease fill and fuel you; all you need do is accept it; and the dead will rise; the living will not succumb; and you will become something as none have ever seen.

"citizens of Aukhmet, ignore this vile sorcery of the slaves of nurgle along with any of nurgles brothers and sisters: slaanesh, krone or Teznech for they are vile and shall only use you to help themselves and care nothing of you. i and the space marine core urge you to heed my warning and not conform to the ways of chaos."

REPLYING.........


CHRONOSIA:

This is Caelestis. Ankhmet's emergency control AI. All citizens of Ankhmet are long dead. The Pague was virulent, and incurable. I am all that is left. Should any of your ships enter the Imperium, they will be destroyed along with everyone else who tries. This is not a threat, or an insult, but a friendly warning.

"Ah, servants of the False Emperor! At last the weakling brood of long dead Terra show themselves; and we; the Mighty Chronosian Imperium, stand ready to crush your zealous lies. Death to the False Emperor! Death to the Weakling Imperium of Man!"

Given the nature of Ahkmetian agression towards Xenonian intrests, I should by all rights be pleased by the twist of fate that has blindsided your nation. A most pleasing irony in hindsight.

Nevertheless, we would like to look at this disease. Perhaps work on a cure to both the disease and your population being destroyed - nothing is impossible, although the normal way we deal with disease you would not likely accept, given your well shown dislike for the Xenonian Protectorate.

Any attempt to enter our borders will be met with extreme force.

The sleek black ship dropped out of atomspace, and hung there
Bloody hell, Henry. All of them dead? Cristof sent thoughtspeak to the comm officer.

Yup. That's what it says.

Oh well. Guess that means no allies for us.

Yup

Where to next?

Sector E-1039476

The ship glowed for a moment and then vanished.

Do not listen to the fools of Xenonier; they wish Exterminatus upon you. The Imperium requests that any survivors come to it; we will provide you with a new world on which to live; and rebirth the Ankhmeti race through manipulation of the survivors genetics and the formulation of a new Geneseed. We shall make you great again; Great enough to conquer anew; great enough to purge the plague and start over...
This is the will of Chaos.

But it is not the will of Caelestis.

:headbang: My world has many lives. :headbang: Life has little meaning to us, we live for advernture. To die a glorious death, doing something completely futile is completely up our street. Sure it might cost a few 100 million lives but hey they aren't doing anything else right now. Might even help realestate prices to finally come down if we can free up some space. Consider yourself invaded. :headbang: How I long to hear the sound of my own blood gushing out of my severed head.

ooc:You do realise you are attacking someone about 20 times your size?

ignore what has been said from these corupt idiots of the chaos horde, for they are ethier walking decaying carcases or just spirits trapped in their ancient armor of the old liegons. considering that the true warriors of the emporior have not gone agunst their true leader in an attempt to gain control through lies and deception than it would most likely be my word that is the most trustable."

Pah! The Chronosian Imperium respects its Emperor; Marcus De Drakan; the True Emperor; the Daemon Emperor whos wisdom and power is known across space. The Imperium will not rest till all traces of the Imperium of Man, and their Corpse God are destroyed...The Power of Chaos shall cleanse all, those borne millenia ago, before humanity was even ooze....
