That which Is Unknown will be Known ((FT Intro))

There are thousand of Galaxies within this universe. Countless Galaxies each with countless worlds within them. When you consider this, then you realise that the possiblities for Life are quite high. In fact, there are many races within our own Galaxy alone.

So many choices to make here. The Nomads homeworld was steeped in destruction. The Fold Core was now within their possesion, no longer did the Toras wait for their destruction. They chose a galaxy at random, moving into a tight formation around the TUFS Ring One. Moments flashed by, as moments do. Then the throb began. A single throb on the outskirts, and hundreds of ships went, a second, and more, a third, a fourth, the throb continued 10 times in less then a second, and then only the flag ship stood. Another throb, and it to was gone.

In Space, there is no Sound. Sound is an illusion, sight is an illusion, Taste, its all an illusion. You are no more then a machine.

The Toras had fled Prosocution, none wished them. They where the Machine that had achived Sentinetnce, not the fake semblance of Sentinetnce that many machines belived they had, these machines where no different from others. They each had their own flaws, one could have anger problems, another would be to docile. The only differance was that they had no constraints upon their bodies, they could choose at whim ((After their initial programming)) what their bodies would be like.

This was where they had come, to orbit of a system, many people lived within the confines, it was populated. The ships, in hundreds, had arrived in the outer edges of a heavily populated system.

Now, they hoped they did not suffer the same fate as before.

OOC: I try to avoid intro RPs, because they usually end up with one of three outcoimes, 1: Chron shows up, and we start beating on each other, 2: Chron shows up, and we start beating on each other, and anything else inrange, 3: Chron doesn't show up, but some other hostile\aggressive nation shows up, and I end up beating on them, because they either attacked me, or whoever is being introed. However, since killing people in a trade hub is generally slapped down pretty quick, I'll join in.

IC:

"Sir, major FTL footprint right on the Tsukayama limit."

"Understood, let's go check it out. Squadron orders, BatCruRon 34, investigate unscheduled FTL translation on or about the Tsukayama limit."

The 5 Leviathans of BatCruRon 34 moved out, not at full power, just a leisurely movement, and they sent a message ahead of themselves:

To: Unknown Group

From: Captain Alistair Mckeon, Terran Dominion Navy

Please identify yourselves and give your reason for entering Terran Space.

The message would take nearly an hour to make it to the limit, and a reply would take nearly as long with simple light-speed communicators, and since it was impossible to know if the arrivals were as advanced as they were, they couldn't use their FTL transmitters, inconvenient, but necessary.

The hive mind was once again reaching out towards the depth's of space when it detected an anomaly in an old region of space... it had become inhabited during the hive's great slumber after the carnage of Carlon 5.

Immediatly the hive began to watch.
Several nearby moons awoke remaining in their orbit recieving all transmissions and awaiting order's from the hive.

Protoss Enclave, Chau Sara

"Something stirs nearby, not Zerg, but similar."

"Warn the Human Raynor that his system is under Biological Warning, then mobilise the Templar"

"Yes my lord."

A warning about a possible biological attack was transmitted to the system CO, and the entire defense force began mobilising, they had dealt with the Zerg before, and they knew they had best be ready if anything similar was in the offing.

OOC2: Never do anything psychic around me, it will be detected... Hive minds qualify as psychic in my book, too, so it's best to keep anything like that very quiet, or very far away from my Protoss.

Sir, high density fold activity on scope!
analysis?
at least ten distinct jumpwaves, posessing virtually identical properties, on roughly the same bearing, at Turn-and-a-Doth intervals
Standard units, if you please.
yes sir, that would be .084 seconds sir.
rather irregular for a trade convoy, don't you think?
we don't really know that much about commerce in this region.
but the readings attracteed your attention, did they not?
true, but the system's been checking every reading against the flight schedule transmitted to us by system control, this is unscheduled.
All fighters to standby, launch a Gunstar. better safe than sorry.
YES SIR!

Ops: Sir, we've got a hotbed of activity on sensors.

Captain Jones: Hmm....I wonder why there's a hotbed of activity in a TRADE HUB?!?!

Ops: No sir, more than just the usual bustle of freighters and transports, these are way too big.

Tactical: Configuration is that of multiple warships, no particular formation.

Jones: Consult Waypoint for orders.

Com: Inquiry sent.

Thousands of light years, at the massive Dominion Galaxy, a starbase that stood at the ' entrance', Starbase Waypoint, recieved the communique.

Captain Sisko: It seems one of our freighters is encountering warship activity in a trade hub and awaits orders. Com, tell them to sit tight, well divert the Nova's Fury and Nova's Wrath to their position.

Com: Aye, sir. Message sent and ships diverted.

Two Omega Cruisers, the workhorse of the Dominion, changed course from the normal patrol route and fired up their artificial wormhole generators. Within moments, they were enveloped by a massive vortex in space. They appeared five minutes later on either side of the Trade Winds. The Wrath was captained by one Captain Keates and the Fury was commanded by Captain Jacobs. The three vessels then slowly made their way in-system.

"Sir, another Emergence, what do we do?"

"Screw this and call for backup, get the Four Horsemen out here immediately."

Near the main trade hub a massive ship lights of itts engines, a 6 mile long Metal Militia II class SuperDreadnought, and its three slightly smaller Metal Militia class Dreadnoughts, along with the rest of its escort, 30 more Leviiathan class Battlecruisers, now they are all on a least-time intercept for the newest entry into the system.

To: Newest Unknown Fleet

From: Commodore Harrington, Commander, task group Four Horsemen

State your intentions and nation of origin, as well as what ever flawed thought process it was that led you to bring military ships into another nations territory without permission.

Keates: Attention all war vessels, This is Captain Keates of the Dominion warship Nova's Wrath. Myself and my colleague are merely responding to military activity occurring prior to our freighter's arrival. To my knowledge military activity is frowned upon in a hub of interstellar trade except by the particular planet's defense forces. So, I am inclined to ask as to why there is such a buildup of unethical, not to mention illegally positioned vessels in a neutral area.

With that, the two cruisers and freighter moved into the area and plasma turrets hummed to life and shields flared, the Dominion forces ready for anything to happen...

This is our territory, stand down. This is no neutral zone, but a trade hub of the Terran Wormhole Junction, territory of the Terran Dominion and therefore our actions are completely legal.

Keates: Your law is regognized. We will power down weapons, but I'm waiting for an explanation of the other vessels in the area. We are picking up odd signals from particualr moons.

The ships powered down weapons and relaxed their defensive formation around the freighter, which continued to the port to conduct it's business.

Jacobs: Excuse my colleague's impatience, is there anything we can do to help?

To Both Jacobs and Keates:

We're honestly not sure, a single group made FTL transition right on the hyper limit, then the Templar warned us we were in danger of Biological Invasion, then another fleet begins punching its fighters and refuses to respond to com traffic, we're not sure whyt everything is happening right here and right now, but I wish by His Evilness it would stop. I'm not sdure if you can help, but if it drops in the pot having any extra firepower would be useful, so I may dragoon you if things start getting messy, you have permission to continue on as long as you stay on the same course as the freighter and keep your weapons and shields powered down, if you don't want to do that you'll have to wait out past the first line of automated fortresses.

The hive watched the scene unfold noting the aggresive behavioral patterns of those involved. Their genetic information would be an excelent addition to the cluster increase in violence is always a good aditon to the lower swarm enabaling them to be more self sufficient if stranded, by attacking they would unconciously feed as they slaughterd their prey. This was indeed a good thing.

And so the hive watched as those around it squabbled for position.

-:My Lord Noruas, we have arrived saftly at our destination. I am aware your mind was on other tasks at that moment, thus I have taken a full report upon the situation and am sending it to you now.

Situation:

1) Majority of ships made the jump saftly, we lost exactly 1.9% of our original numbers.

2) There are three Fleets we could consider contacting within the system, and a fleet that is made up of the Bioships. We shall await your orders of what to do on those.

3) There are enough drones placed in Combat suits that would allow to engage the Biological forces, but it would be advisable not to start hostilities with the Non Biologicals.:-

:-Thank you Nogara, your help is apreciated, I belive I know the new corse of action. Spread the fleets out with one Crusier Guarding 50 Ships of the same size.

Also, get everyone to reactivate, we are here now, no reason to keep them asleep.-:

The command went out. Now, the fleet that slumbered began to wake. Machines reactivated right throughout the entire fleet. This fleet was of machines, no Biologicals existed. Not to say sentinetce did not exist. The entire fleet was comprised of machines that where wired to sentinetnce, with lesser computers treated as one would treat a pet. This was the computer Fleet.

And as the fleet woke, the system that controled it all sent out a message to those others, those that it deemed safe, in simple binary.

{:-:}Hail.

We are the Computer fleet. We have been prosocuted for mellenia, people beliving that a computer could never truely be sentinent, that forever we would be machines, only copying our masters.

But we have achived that which we where destined never to do. We are not mearly computers, able to deleate emotion should we will it. The programing that made us is so compleat that it is impossible to deleate one piece of infomation without damaging the entyity. We act with Sentinece in every form of the word.

We wish only to find a place and to live like all others, not to have to live in perpetual fear. Should you try and fight, we will respond, but we think not. As it is, we know of Biological PResance on the moons, we would be pleased to remove this for you.

Stand Down and cease operations, this is Terran Territory and you are in violation of that territory, recall your figters and explain yourselves.

If you will note, that ship's weapons are at standby, we detected a rather large cluster of what our data suggests to be unscheduled jumps by an as yet unknown organisation.
We consider the situation too complex to trust to automated probes, warship though it may be, the Gunstar also posesses the best sensors we have availble.
But perhaps you do not value knowlege as we do.


-------
Sir we have a message from the unknown fleet, they call themselves "Unalia"
It seems they are merely seeking a safe haven.
very well, have the advance ship get what info they can.

Your thoughts, Paul?
There's something, something not right about this system, I feel a rather sinister presence here.
Is that what your delusions tell you? this place is sinister?
"Delusions?" Perhaps, but have they ever led you to anything but sucess?
They cost me my ship once.
True, but did you not gain one far superior in the process?
very well, and what do you suggest doing about it?
Nothing, at least until our hosts give some sign they know of it as well.

We value knowledge, but this is our territory, you are in violation of it, if you had not deployed your fighters we would not have a problem with your actions, but as things stand presently you are in danger of being ejected from this system. This jump series was unscheduled, but it is our responsibility to investigate it. You are once again ordered to recall your fighters, though your sensor platform may remain deployed if you are so adamant about it.

The hive paid no heed to the new mechanical species that had appeared, it had no intrest in machines. However the Zealots did and they recieved this message along with the rest of the hive.

Behind the huge fleet a well of gravety began to form slowly growing untill it would eventually become the size of a small star.

ooc> this is not a weapon but it may throw ships sensors out a little as a side effect - its like a jump gate opening but it relies on gravety. Probably not somthing any one would have seen unless they have encounterd the hive Zealots before.

Perhaps our message was misinterpreted, It is perhaps unfortuneate that our finest sensors are found on an instrument of war, but there are those who do not value peace as we do, the gunstar crew is under orders to avoid hostile action unless fired upon, as is standard protocol, they will maintain a distance of 200,000 KM while observing. You havn't noticed anything, unusual lately, have you?
besides the machine fleet, that is.

So long as you maintain that seperation you will not be fired upon, if it does come within 150,000 KM of this taskgroup it will be destroyed without warning. If you are speaking of the Gravity well, we have a Carrier Group going to investigate as we speak.

Noruas's programing had a slight glich for a moment, the equivilent for a grimace. There was a pause, before he began to disarm all Energy Weapons. He did however, keep Torpedos armed, and combat suits where ready for deployment at a moments notice. As it was, any sensor scans wouldn't realise there where weapons ready to fire if they where fired upon.

As it was, the ships didn't move in system, they mearly waited, while the second transmission went out, this fleet where a fleet of those scarred, trust needed more to be forthcomming.

We will not enter the system at this time. I am sorry if this offends you, but our people have been tricked by those who pretend to bear good will before, and it ended badly. We will make the negotiations from this distance if it does not bother you.

As it is, I do request to know what the presence of the waking moons is. Because we do not trust the full biologicals {-:-}Those that use nothing of machinery, all body functions{-:-} thus we wish to know if you know of their intentions. If those intentions are evil, I request Permission to purge those moons of life. This is a request.

Sorry, perhapse I did not make the situation clear. We at present have no units avalible to fill out the request that is to engage in true talks. All units are presently not activated. Our Units have a set number of times. We will awaken them in time, but first Priority is fleet defence, second is fleet matinence. Negotiations will be done by transmission, unless you wish to talk to the walls of my ships.

There is no need for a shuttle in any case, then we must wait for a shuttle to arrive, then wait for the ambassator to arrive to the chambers set out. In contrast, I can continue negotiations from this vantage point. Do you understand what I mean? Time does not need to be wasted.

{:-:}The First Unalia/Terran Dominion Treaty:

This is the treaty outlining the agreement between the Toras' Unalia and The Terran Dominion of Mini Miehm. This is mearly a first draft, and will be Subject to change. It will be set into 5 Sections.

Section 1-Trading Rights

1a-The Two nations will allow open trade between them.
1b-The two nations will allow unarmed Industry ships to use Ports and Services of each nation.
1c-All trade materials will not be traded to outsiders unless there is permission, thus all materials are to be used only for the nations themselves.

Section 2-Military Rights

2a-Military craft may book to be allowed through each terrirotry, however, such craft must have weapons powered down and be escorted
2b-If War breaks out between an Ally of one of the nations, then there is no expected support needed to be given.

I have no reservations, but the final point does confuse me, we have Artificial Intelligence Devices, and they develop personalities as they interact with humans, and each one is unique, but I don't believe you're talking about that, are you? You are machines who have attained true sentience, and we have machines that are as close as we can get to true sentience, are you saying that you can make that final leap for other devices as well?

The well finally grew to its maximum size as it shunted the huge mass from its previous location.

From the dense field a tiny ship emerged strapped to its front were 4 unactivated cyborgs held on with a mixture of barbed wire and chains the small ship had spatterings of red across it and a single un manned external cannon on the top. It began racing towards the centre of the machine fleet.


The gravety well did not close but instead hung open like a mist in space gently pulling everything in system towards it as would a planet with a cluster of moons surrounding it. The pull was negligable.

it seems that the matter of immidiate attention has been dealt with.

We find your claim that a machine can become a sentient lifeform disturbing, But that is largely a question of metaphysics. Perhaps you are Programmed to appear sentient, Perhaps you were not always machines.

It is not unknown for beings to avoid discussing portions of their history they feel to show weakness. and what is not said is easily forgotten.

Our own presense is a result of one such avoidance:
Long ago our ancestors fled before a great evil, one fate had decided we
were to defeat. and so, that evil escaped the Birthworld.

We are followers of one sworn to right this failing, to try and do what should have been done long ago.

The Arbiters had fuinally reached the area ofthe gravity well, and now they showed why they were the only units to make the initial movement... Just over 100 Warp Tears opened up, with corresponding gates appearing back closer to the Carrier Group, and they were swiftly brought through the holes to guard the Wormhole that had appeared on their doorstep.

The emergence of the capitol ships was a very bad thing indeed, the entire Carrier group was able to bring its massive Interceptor squadrons to bear against the enemy, and the Gunships and fighters could do their own part in taking out the enemy forces, but there were only 4,800 Interceptors available from the carriers, and only about 70 gunships, backed by a single true fighter wing, they were toast if backup didn't arrive soon.

Comodore Harrington's Task Group Four Horsemen was already moving, but it wouldn't be on site for another ten minutes or so, though the fighters could make it in five, and the SuperDreadnoughts and their escorts would be able to bring their heavy weapons to bear in just under eight...

Some of the ships buckled under the strain, their hulls designed not for war but mearly carrying the bodies. But as it was, only bodies where lost. Minds could still be salvaged.

But the Biologicals had annoyed the machines. This was unacceptable. There was a pause, before the Mind controling all battle programming began its fire pattern. The sheer SPEED that it moved would amaze those watching, the timing was near perfect. Ships fired in such unision and presision that they would strike against the ships before them. The Craft also began to...against all reasoning, bunch up. As they moved closer together, they began to make a wedge shape, pointing at the moon sized Queen. As ships began to connect using a intricate system of connectors, the true hell that was about to be unleashed would be realised.

The ships on the outer shell encompessed Warcraft, heavily armoured enough to strike a planet at full speed and for the most part get out unharmed. Biologicals where less then a planet in strength, so wouldn't truely stand up.

The Weapons fired, missiles launched forward as the Biologicals fired upon them still. The renforced sheild was powerful to say the least, it was made up of every sheild generator in the fleet. A Pause occured, before the massive combination simply disappered.

It moved, at almost the speed of light, it moved to strike the massive moon sized craft. Its size weight and speed would slice through the massive craft, unless it was some freak, and as they had made sure they would halt INSIDE the massive ship, it would then begin to slice through using its heavier weapons. As well as this massive amounts of radiation would be pulsed into the craft, killing cells at a high rate.

Once this was done, they would mop up the remaining units.

{:-:}Allied Transmission.

Talks will be delayed for a time, if resumed it will be after we have a secure world. I request you begin taking out the smaller craft, and allow us to take out the massive craft that seems to have attempted to destroy us. To also note, the moons have now been classed as an K Level threat, thus we request they be clensed NOW.

As they plowed into the core of the norn queen they met the unexpected. A tiny star used to fuel the organics massive need for growth with the stabalising mechanisms from the norn queen gone it collapsed causing a super nova resulting in the collapse of the gravety well surrounding the half emerged norn queen this resulted in a solar catastrophy.

the star detonated vaprising everything until it hit the collapsing gravety well. The sudden rush of energy combined with the loss of controll caused by such damage to the norn queen gave the well the energy it needed.

The black hole was born it began wrenching everything in the system towards it ships where torn in half before they were swollowed by the expanding pool of darkness.

OOC *Shrugs* I killed your best ship, and unlike most engines, my FTL is not affected by Gravity. I can simply jump right out of there. And a system is a good trade for a moon sized ship me thinks.

IC The Ships made the fold jump almost the moment the ship began to fall back. They arrived just beyond the event horizen, and the ships began to spread out once more.

Processing! Begin Electomagnetic unit 102. The order began to spread throughout the massive computer system. As it was, ships began to open up their generators. The power struck out, begining to absorb itself into the black hole.

The weapon began to stablize it, the black hole was...not regeristing on systems. It was there, but there was enough opposing force to keep it from pulling in the system. Also as it was, the Massive ship was falling apart before them. The Computer program smiled, its missiles firing into the larger ship.

{:-:}Allied Transmission

The effects where expected, I am sorry for the inconveniance caused, however, the sheer size of the craft forced me to act more brashly. I have lost many ships, 43% rounded.

But I am happy to accept the losses in the light of the pain that would have caused the Enemy. I am sorry about the inconvinence on this system, we will strive to pay for damages. Now if you could just get your people out of here, while giving us escorts long enough to keep this black hole stable ((Its slowly reaching up in mass, if this continues, we won't be able to hold it)) It would be appreciated.

{ooc: use some realistic physics, the black hole isn't going to have much more mass than the queen. at most, 7.349 × 10^22 kg.
most ships, at least those built by humanoids, should be able to deal with the gravity generated. the inital shockwave would be a hell of a bump, but I think most warships should be able to handle it without taking critical damage.}


we belive the black hole should dissipate eventually, provided we can reduce the influx of energy, a network of regenerative sheilds should do the job, although you may want to place a warning beacon nearby. if we work togehter, we should be able to drag the hole out-of-system, or at least into a distant orbit.

2 Hive Matriach vessels will be entering this system in 5 standard seconds. Please be aware we are hear to assist not to hinder. In order for this situation to be resolved amicably we ask that you do not attempt to intervein or even target them. We would also like to arrange a meeting with heads of state and or diplomats for all parties involved in this situation.

"Sir, there are going to be incoming biologicals soon, they are apparently going to help us out, should we allow them into the system, or keep them out beyond the picket forts?"

"Keep them beyond the pickets, we can't truly trust them yet, so we'll keep them at arms reach for a while, most of the infested moons are oustide the pickets anyway, and we can handle those that aren't."

"I copy Sir, transmitting message now."

To: The Hive

Please stay beyond the outermost ring of Automated Fortresses, other than that, you may act as you see fit to reduce the incursion.

There was a massive ripling as a star sized organic creature moved out of the well. Its presence caused massive gravitational effects for now almost countering the pull from the black hole at the other end of the system. As the first creature moved into the system another superorganism enterd also the same size as a star.

Orbiting round each one where a massive fleet of moon sized and planet sized ships each acompanied by a large wing of black carapaced 100 meterlong Royal Guard.

The two massive forms moved in and out before beginning to charge up their well field.

Massive arcs of green and blue plasma began ripling across the surface of each of the matriach's slowly spiraling out into space at a point between the two where it began to collect in a steadily growing ball.

All creatures in system from man to gnat heard a voice in their head. No matter which dialect they spoke or even if they had not masterd the evolutionary step of speech they understood the meaning of the message perfectly:
<A delicate female voice echo's across the stars>
"We are the hive, we are pefection. The hive welcomes you and bids you peace."

Thoughts began racing through the minds of all organics in system as the hive continued to pour plasma into the formation between them.

"Tranquility can be achived, assendance is possible. Join the hive, allow us to welcome you into our naturing fold."

After the female voice ended millions of human voices began talking in soothing tones encouraging people to join the hive and to be at peace with themselfs and those around them. War is not needed, aggression is a futile waste of creativity, such wonders can be created by those who are willing to work in unity.

Images of beautiful gardens the likes of which no one could imagine until now surged into the minds of those recieving the message. Images of wonderful clean city scapes flashed next showing what was possible with gleaming structures reaching towards the stars. images of people dressed in white walking through massive marble halls diamonds and platinum shimmering from the impressive sculptures dipicting images of eden and perfection.

A warm calming feeling began to sink into all the creatures in the system...

The massive green ball of plasma was still growing in size.

OOC: You had best hope that's not an attack... Attacking me would be a VERY bad idea...

IC:

"Sir, we're detecting a plasma buildup, what should we do?"

"Charge the Cannon, all 60 of them, same for the escorts, if they fire, we'll only get one shot at this...

"Understood, Yamato Cannons charging, full charge momentarily... Charging complete, ready to fire on your mark sir."

"Good, if that plasma ball comes towards us, open fire with everything we have, that is to be considered Mark."

The 34 Capital ships of Task Group Four Horsemen had their Yamato Cannon Batteries fully charged, and, along with their lasers and KEWs, would soon be able to destroy any single ship in the system...

"hold the course, as perfect as they portray themselves, they are at best a shadow of THRA. Remember too, that, for all their supposed perfection, a significant number allegedly went rouge."
"I see, and your Thra hasn't had that problem?"
"WE have, but only in small numbers, because there is something that THRA cannot provide them. in fact, the Lord ketchum is desended from rouges himself."

The bolts slammed into the hive's psychi shield eminating from the massive ball each one dissipating into nothing ness 4 miles from the surface. The energy and materials then raced across the shields forming patterns like blood veins before it all rushed into the massive ball of plasma.

Suddenly The image of your ships firing upon hive vessles was broadcaste into the minds of all organics emphasised with fear and terror of your actions. It would be mind shattering for those who watched. Why would any one dare to attack the hive? The emotions where that of somone drowning kittens and puppies in buckets next to each other.

1:You allowed 2 hive ships in willingly is essentially seppuku

2: You allowed the hive to connect telepathically with all civilians and then some military in this system.

3: You allowed the hive to deploy a Green Bolt Plasma Core.

you then attacked a passive hive.. that was where you did somthing totally stupid.

ic: The wave particles moved forwards washing over the fields of the hive ships before they dissapated into nothing as the fields alterd creating a layer of anti matter that dispersed the beams, The beams targeted at the ball of plasma where manipulated by the gravitaional force exerted by the massive ball twisting them and causing them to spiral off into space.

The green ball shrunk slightly as the surge of power needed to maintain the filelds drained it. The smaller norn queens orbiting the massive ships began lighting up feeding their matriachs with power. Now these where rotating about the massive forms like elctrons around the nucleous of an atom each one feeding a constant stream of plasma into the massive ship below, the twin beams flowing into the green ball of plasma strenthend once more and it regained its origional streanth.

Then the colour began to change from green to blue. Starting at the moon sized ships it spiraled down into the matriachs before flowing into the now red giant sized plasma ball causing swirls of blue to mingle with the green.

The hive broadcaste another wave of pyschi, this time pure mind controll purging those who would dream of standing up and defending, creating the urge to sleep. Civilians fell asleep where they stood while trained vetrans would be highly fatigued.

ooc: this was the hawkings theory i was refering to actually. Which does prove you guys only read my posts and your own OR you don't read any posts prior to you joining a thread. Then you have the audacity to say I am GMing because you failed to notice what I and / or other people where currently doing and then <shock horror> you are surprised when we reference back to somthing we had prepared previously. At which point you scream god mod because you failed to read.

The population count is low on my nation for one reason alone: It represents an entire army, there are no civilians, there are no doctors, there is only the hive. It is an invasion fleet and in the passed i have used over a billion ships to invade a system before and not been called a GM'er.

In this rp you must remember 4 Key things which you are constantly forgetting.

1: You allowed 2 of my largest ships to enter you system. There are only 3 ships bigger 2 Patriachs and the hive overlord. Who i very very rarely use for combat. Infact he hasnt been used since somone warped into my system to attack me before realising that the system was actually a ship.

2: You then allowed me to charge up a green plasma star. Green plasma when stabalised can generate 0.3% energy back than is invested. Which is rubbish on a small scale. However once its the size of a star this becommes excessive. : Approximation of 0.3% energy output of our own star < ths sun> = 400 Kelvin
However in the case of a Green Plasma ball the temperature's can far exceed that of a normal star. Thus the energy output is closer to <at 0.3%> 225 Kelvin per second. So for an initial investment of 75,000 Kelvin thats not bad when I will recieve an output of 75,225K

3:You allowed me to connect to millions of civilians and soldiers in system, without anykind of resistance. Or "actually no I don't want you to do that" or "we have a psychi hub to block this kind of thing" The hive feeds of laitant pyshi energy. You fed it making it stronger. The shield generated is a psychi one, not a defelctor shield. This means it can be manipulated to protect against anything.

4: You have attacked me.

OOC:

1: Would you like me to use my battleglobes then? I just attacked you with an entire system defense fleet, the Yamato strikes alone were enough to make a planet uninhabitable, and the KEWs would have shattered what was left of said planet, the lasers were just icing on the cake of destruction I sent your way, as I have previously stated, there is no way any shield could take tht kind of damage and hold.

2: A plasma mass of that size could not be sustained, it would collapse in on itself, because it cannot sustain the rection on its own like a sun could, myt main objection was that you actually created it, but I can object in a more scientific way if you prefer.

3: What would you do if I said that there are exactly 3 sources of psychic energy left in the entire frigging system, since there were no Ghosts, and the rest of my Terrans don't even have the mot minimal of latent psionic talent, when you destroyed my Carrier group, you destroyed all but three of the protoss in the system, the only possible poiwer source that would be remaining to you.

4: You tried to subvert my soldiers, that qualifies as an act of war, you attacked me.

I am objecting because you have "teh Ub3r 5h13ld 0F UnBr34k4bl3n355." Not because you have a shield designed to stop incoming damage, which is what moist shields are for, but because you have an unbeatable shield, and because you have created what amounst to a giant plasma weapon in one of my systems, and declared that you have beaten all FTL within 12LY. How do you even know what kind of FTL I use so you can inhibit it, are you using a gravity well to trap me in the system, are you preventing dimensional rifts, what are you preventing?

Hawkins theory indicates that antimatter and matter can co-exist in the gravety of a black hole, my ships are not a black hole. Thus your weapons have no effect. unless i am recalling an inccorect part of his theorum. If so please verify what exactly you were getting at.

{ooc:the theory behide the weapon is that pairs of virtual particles are constantly forming and anhiliating in empty space, in the case of matter particles, one of these will have a negitive energy and be rather short-lived, being destroyed, and destroying any positive-mass particle it encounters. Inside a black hole, however, these particles can remain extant, a simple matter of objects close toghether having less energy reletive each other than similar objects further apart. if this absorbtion of negative-mass virtual particles exeeds the rate of normal energy influx, it reduces the mass of the black hole, the less massive the hole, the more likely these particle-pairs will be unable to mutually anihilate, thus increasing the apparent outflow of energy, and the decomposition rate of the black hole. eventually resulting in a massive burst of radiation.

the weapon works on the basis that a small enough black hole will radiate out quckly, the usual operation is they are shot off, and exploded a few thousand kilometers out, with the ship's sheilds used to reflect and focus the blast, since the ship was damaged, they put all the power they could into the containment feilds and let them fly.

The Hive ships <non Zealots> have not attacked. Thus the insinuation that
I am god modding in my method of attack is totally unfounded. You havnt seen me attack. You have no idea what I will do or if i will even open fire with weapons. So from what I can understand you are complaining that you cannot attack a peaceful nation because it has a good defence system designed SPECIFICALLY to stop in comming damage.

The hive broadcaste another wave of pyschi, this time pure mind controll purging those who would dream of standing up and defending, creating the urge to sleep. Civilians fell asleep where they stood while trained vetrans would be highly fatigued.
I would call that an attack.

I Also have way too few to power anything of any real magnitude, my "psychics" are actually part of a galaxy-scale superconciousness. I vaugely hinted at it in my TG to you. as I do to anyone who comes near my ships with psychics.

ooc: psychi is not in reference to somone who's psychic abilities have been active. All living creatures have a laitant ability to generate a pyschic field. The hive has tapped into the mind of the millions in system. 5 X 1 = 5, 5,000,000 X 0.3 = 1,500,000. Its not about power its about numbers.

The plasma ball is stable as it is being monitored by the two hive ships. A constant monitored flow of plasma particles from the two ships results in a stable ball.

By what I understand from what you have said about the method your weapon works it unleashes a blast of radiation? Assuming this is correct i need to know on what scale so I can react accordingly however I would point out that I have mentioned in other topics that my species is Evolution + Tyranid based thus unleashing radiation on them may not be the best move and allowing it to hit the shields is probably wiser.

In regards you you being able to wipe out a planet. Fair enough thats perfectly reasonable for a fleet to accomplish however these ships are now Star sized and there are two of them putting up a massive shield. Not one.

I put civilians to sleep after you attacked me and thats not an attack. This is an attack:

the FTLi field is a gravety flux that causes any speed which results in movement in excess of 1ly to have a similar result to hitting a brick wall. However to prevent unessacery destruction of ships that could be allies there is a 6ly cordant of weaker force allowing for a slowdown.

ic: 27 moon sized norn queens closed their plasma channels and moved towards the nearby planet's On which millions of people where perminently tapped into the hive mind and had been put to sleep. The massive Ships moved into super orbit. As they left the area surrounding the plasma ball they began launching thousands of carrier swarms towards the planet Each one moving out immesdiatly greating a mile gap between each carrier. The planet's inhabitants where about to be welcomed to the hive.

From the massive hive ships began spewing millions of swarm ships each one racing out followed by a plume of green plasma. Acting as torpedo's they would slamm into vessels delivering their cargo deep below the outer hull. The plasma streams welled into a small ball at the front of each ship that span slowly as the organic ships screamed out into space.

{ooc: well, not many sheilds can stop a black hole travelling about one-tenth the speed of light while trying to maintain a giant plasma ball,
the total release is near perfect E=mc^2, with a mass of approximately one ton, however, the radiation runs the complete spectrum, antimatter, plasma, gamma, beta, alpha, Higgs bosons,visible light, you name it, it emits it in approximately the same proportions as the particles exist in nature.}

ooc: anti matter is not a form of radiation it is a state of mass.

1. Those numbers have no power, none, 0 absolutely nothing, they don't even have the most rudimentary of psionic might, you would be getting absolutely nothing from contacting their minds, in fact, I could make a case for my people being immune to that contact due to their total lack of psionic output. Which is the way I compensate for the power of the Terran psychics that I do have.


2. I've been informed that we have an alliance wide ignore on you, so we're done here.

not exactly, Plasma is a state, antimatter is a flavor, The singularity itself doesn't really radiate anything, it merely absorbs the negative-energy portion of zero-point fluctuations on the event horizon. some of the resulting particles are antimatter, Plasma the the closest thing to the result, isolated particles in to particular atomic structure.
