Hey post all OOC here please.

Deleted the original post and C&Ped it here:

OOC: I'm a bit confused. What exactly happened? A nuclear explosion? Has the Emperor taken over the minds of all the people of the Infinite Crucible?

Ok here is quick answer, class is starting in a few minutes.

So, no nukes have gone off. The massive explosion was caused by explosive spores within the body the Emperor had consumed. It was very close to a nuclear explosion though, and enable him to get just enough spores out to infest a single person.

Basically in that post, The Emperor infested a few key people, namely the President and ordered the vast majority of the northern region to be called to the shores to defend against the inevitable invasion of the Consortium and Automagfreek. This was a ploy, however, as it doomed the nation. The northern legion served the sole purpose of defending the northern line against the horrors of the Northlands, and the Wood.

With nothing to hold them back, billions of horrors poured out from the north, and all contact with the nation was lost. This is not "the end" merely a new beginning.

This is not the full story, but the rest is for those who come to the nation to discover.

You do realize that AMF's devil abominations and government and military are much more freakier and powerful than that fungus lord, and that they will brutally crush his fungus-puppets without much effort, TIC?

Repost:

OCC, Fallen Races: My apologies, I thought you were a 'Consortium' nation. Can you give me the link to what I've missed?

Maybe so, but Infinite Crucible isn't really a threat to the Consortium anymore (well, besides legions of fungus zombies). AMF might not even have to invade. And of course, one must remember that the things are contagious...

Ok... first.

I have not done this to win any war against AMF, or anyone for that matter. If I had really wanted to RP to win a war I would have had their armies fight mine first, and then throw wave after wave of horrors at them. As you can see however, I have obliterated my entire nation, why? A. I am still finding an RP style I like and B. its fun.

Second, there are things in my nation now that are far worse than The Emperor. They, however, have yet to make themselves known. Also I dont have a legion of puppets, he only inhabits a few people at a time. Anymore and rival personas would arise. Also if I had millions of "fungus zombies" it would be a complete god mode. Considering you must completely obliterate their body with thermite flame weapons, and they can do any number of nasty things including infecting you from hundreds of yards away, I dont see it as good RP form to have a lot of them

I dont know, but I really got an angry, or something along those lines, vibe from your post.

Personally I think it would be very cool for an invasion to come. They would likely grab a good portion of territory for themselves as well.

Edit: When is say "horrors" or "beasts" or any other number of vile nouns, I dont mean fungus zombies. I am just using it, so I dont give away any surprises of what is lurking in the shadows at this time.

I wasn't being angry. Will the nation of TIC become evil in the future soon enough?

All right, time to rock.

I can actually RP some of those "Worse Than the Emperor" things if you like... Slivers are Evil and Slivers are Sly and if you get eaten then no one will cry. . .

Feh. If your entire nation is overrun by fungus things, this means we're going to have to use a lot of incendiaries to burn the infestation out.

Don't you read anything my friend? He said there's very little in the way of Fungus Critters, it's mostly other more bizarre shit.

I'm considering getting involved. Maybe I'll send a unit over to get slaughtered by things out of the Northlands.

You're supposed to kill the things from up north, not get klilled by them...

I will eventually become evil due to this, but for a good while it is really going to be more anarchy than actual evil regime.

Anyone can send anything they want over.

Also, thanks for the offer on the Slivers, but no thanks. I am hammering out the details of the northland creatures, and am trying to avoid more popular mythos.

You're supposed to kill the things from up north, not get klilled by them...
Sez you. It's fun to lose men like that. Like in the Romandeos conflict, where I lost all the elite covops teams I sent in, although they did manage to infect the population with Generation Disease and kill thousands. Not to mention take down most of the police department in the capital. Should be leading up to a nice little war soon.

Mini take it slow with the slivers. I want this whole RP to develope at a slower speed, with the horrors of the land slowly revealed. I dont want to have to throw a horde of beasts at your invasion force right away.

I figured they'd mill about rather pointlessly for awhile, trying to figure out exactly what is going on..

Plus, not even freaky critters can move south that fast on foot...

Other than that, ok.

About a week has passed since the attack started. The vast majority of the nation is in ruins, the speed at which they struck was unreal, but they cant move that fast anymore. Milling around is fine for right now.

I hope my post is ok. You haven't really given details about what to expect when I get there (like any good storyteller you're waiting for the right moment) so I'm extrapolating a little. I'm assuming that the northern settlements of your nation would be deserted, or at least the inhabitants hiding?

The post was great, it suited the mood of thread perfectly. I will post later tonight, but not for a few hours as I am going to be busy.

I can actually picture this being quite a successful horror film if it was made into a script, I hope this however develops a lot more slowly and stays as either individuals or small squads that way scope for argument will be almost nill, apart from arguing over who gets it first *cackles*

No such luck, the freaky Sliver Swarm is already on site, though since they're not human, nor use technology, they may not count...

I'm starting to like this thread more and more. Novacom, I hope you don't mind if its only my Inquisitor you found and not some monster. The chances of us meeting up like that aren't great, but still possible.

To Infinite Crucible, I'd like a bit more info on the Inquisitor I'm looking for. She was stationed up north at last contact. Is she still alive? Still sane? What has she seen? What's her story? TG me these general ideas, when you get the chance, I want to keep the storyline within your parameters.

Just a note to everyone, no bodies will be found. You may find blood or even some organs, but not heads and definetly no whole bodies.

Damien and TOWSNBN entering the scene, along with the Emperor and several other 'horros' as TIC describes it...seems to be one interesting plot.

What of the cadaver you just posted up? is she to suddenly vanish into thin air or if something is to happen in order for her corpse to be dismembered let me know and I'll change my post accordingly.

Xirnium I was actually hoping for the inquisitor and Rey to link up, safety in numbers after all.

Just a note I only have 27 men, COmmander Rey Anatos along with Squad A B and C each with 8 men in and 2 Enforcer Mechnicians 1 of which is a fully qualified chemist.

Mini, Pray tell what is a Silver Swarm? precisely how many have you just lost, I think you made a typo with 1,00 :P

Mini, Pray tell what is a Silver Swarm? precisely how many have you just lost, I think you made a typo with 1,00 :P

Sliers are creatures from the card game Magic: The Gathering, they have a hive mind and generally share different powers through their hive link, some make othe slivers stronger, some make them harder to kill, some give the ability to fly, and so on, the powers are generally only shared within a limited area, you can find every sliver EXCEPT for the 3 I've created at this site: http://cards.mtgnews.com/Search?T=sliver%5D

nd yes, it was supposed to be 1,000 not 1,00.

SO they're similar to the Silithids out of WoW I take it?

Looks really interesting, Though I don't think the Silvers will cause too much trouble, apart from the 27 I have on the ground thre are 20 on the transport (which is a Prototype upgrade to my Parridigram Transport, which can carry Mobile suits and launch them as well), 4 Pilots, 4 Mechnicians, 8 Pilots for the 4 prototype Vindicators onboard (note that their are 2 pilots so in case a pilot is lost I have spare, Vindicators are one manned units but 2 other people could squeeze in the cockpit if nessacery but not recommended), as well as 3 other crew which can also act as Mechnicians as well as an Archivist from my Great Archives, the only other thing on the Transport os Rey's Nocturne, another Prototype unit. The Parridigram is their to act as a resupply point and once it receives supplies it will descend down at pre-arranged times at a pre-arranged place to deliver supllies.

Basically laying out what I have OOCly so I can use this as a refernce and also no-one can go "WTF3gg13 J00z G0dzm0dz z3y app3ar3d 0L1 0f th1n a1r"

F**k the hyiadius, I'm jumping back into this.

So, I'm guessing there is a sort of truce between the AKA and the Consortium for now?

Not sure on that deatil, what I do know however is that there is peace between Novacom and the consortium since the treaty I signed before the Father reared his head still stands, the atack of the Minister was overlooked as on the way back to Novan hostile signals were detected, they were later confimred as belonging to units of Rebel Admiral Kukonois' Blood Guard.

F**k the hyiadius, I'm jumping back into this.

So, I'm guessing there is a sort of truce between the AKA and the Consortium for now?

No... there is not. My nation was preparing for invasion when it fell to pieces at the hands of some other evil.

Edit: About the woman, she is not dead, just very very close to it. She is basically right outside of the town hall, and if cared for, may survive to tell you of some things.

I know, the "horrors from the north", but is this a joint cleansing effort?

I know, the "horrors from the north", but is this a joint cleansing effort?

No, no, no. A joint cleansing effort would require massive armies, and this is more of a small scale RP. At least for the moment.

Roger that.

Good 2 b bak.

Don't actually play WoW, so I'm not sure what you're talking about, I'm a FFXI man myself.

Xirnium I was actually hoping for the inquisitor and Rey to link up, safety in numbers after all.

That'd be great, I'd like to tag along for the moment. Certainly safer for my Inquisitor to be near some serious backup then all alone in Infinite Crucible, though he can definitely look after himself if he needs to.

I also hope his abilities aren't godmodding. Basically, Inquisitors are highly trained and heavily armed soldiers often used in espionage or special operations missions. They are all veterans, usually over 30, though this one is in his late 40s. They are extremely agile and have great athletic ability. Of course they are experts in warfare.

However, these atributes aren't really much more then a normal exceptionally fit soldiers'. Where they excel, what really sets them apart, is in their mental training, which they undergo at the Synod of the Inquisiton in Holy Xirnium. Inquisitors are very smart, with extreme perceptiveness and perfect memories. They can do great caluclations in their mind and can even control what are involuntary systems for us, like heartbeat, their internal biochemistry, etc. There are a couple of other tricks they know but this will do for now.

Hehe great, I was hoping to develop the character of some of my nations Aces, I wouldn't put Enforcers down as disposable soldiers though :P They're an Elite, Known for their efficiency Professionalism and Cool heads under fire. Partly the reason why they were assigned instead of regular army troops. the presence of Prototype Vindicator is definetly for some serious backup firepower, and also because I want to slowly have them replace the Hijir as my main combat unit (which I've used for quite a while now actually) so this way if someone asks when did you suddenly get rid of the Hijir and bring in these almost obscenly superior unit I can point to here and a few other places. I hope the presence of them isn;t Godmodding either.

It makes things easier having someone else tagging along, after all your inquisitor could see things my Enforcers and Rey couldn't and vice versa. Don't worry I don't think them a god mod, however though Enforcers wear a specialised type of gas mask, it isn't big or bulky like Kraven's or Raven's it's meant to be subtle, and Rey himself has undergone a lot of training himself they've been affected by the phermones but not very much. Enforcers undergo pretty tough training Regimes, something I'm slowly implementing into my Standard mainline forces.

Perfectly fine with me. He is going to need every trick in the book to get out of some things in the hellish land you now inhabit.

You've done a really good job with setting the scene, I only hope I'm not overdoing things are doing injustices to what will be a great RP.

I hope me bringing in Viginias, and her prophecies into this, Basically she spent her entire life Making Prophecies they were preserved in either song, painting, scuplture, epic poetry or stories. Her predictions have been unfailingly accurate though near the end of her life her propheices back a little vague and not as detailed as before, The Crushing Nocture or as it's form would be once transltaed from Novan would be Nocture of the Crushed (slight difference I know) is one of those slightly less detailed ones.

Mind if I drop a few Halo force guys in to help you?

Feel free for them to make an apperance, I don't mind. Though please, tell me what are these Halo Force Guys?

Just remember though I have a transport touching down very shortly which is supplying my men make sure they don't get squased by it or land on top of it and end up going for a trip in the clouds :P

Velkyan Special Forces unit. Think Delta Force, highly classified and very highly trained men. They are used for peacekeeping, intel gathering, drop zone clearence (as seen in the Kraven Conflict), and other tasks. They are fairly well-armed, and some sqauds carry battle suits. Usually, they drop-pod or dropship in with a few vehicles, like a HMGPV (PMT Humvee) as well.

Well I have no problem with it, just remember however that my Transport directly above the Town square so drop-podding or drop shipping what have to be in some other place a bit farther out from there.

Your Halo guys sound like my Enforcers except my Enforcers are a little more public and used in battle a lot more. Perhaps it would be advisable to keep the Vehicles in reserve though, having them in straight off the bat may move things forward faster than needed. Atmosphere is building up nicely :D

Yeah. If things really get hot I'll chute in a Helix or two.

I'd like to see those horrors get past a 70mm Autocannon.:D


BTW, I'm out of the Kraven Conflict, there's way too much OOC bickering for me. MM, AN, AMF, and KC, set your clocks accrodingly.

The Vindicators and the Nocturne's DDBC (Prototype highly Experimental Laser Weapon it has a decent rate of fire but only about a hundred shots per enermy cartidge it has a few others bugs as well, DDBC stands for Damocles Derivative Battle Cannon) would make quick work of anything really, but it builds more atmosphere for help being delayed or not immediatly available.

Especially since I suspect these storms would disrupt communications somewhat. Also I never got onvolved with the actual war against Kraven, merely defending Xirnium the Bickering and powergaming got on my nerves, then of course the sudden collosla overbalancing of the sides, it would have been all right if the sides were evenly matched.

Note I'm waiting for Velkya's entrance if he's getting involved before posting something else up, I dislike making 2-3 line posts, it usually looks sloppy and I take pride in my work :D

TIF could you TG me a few Storyline Ideas as well, so I can make sure the Prophecy/Nocture is fairly correct but cryptic enough to not really make much sense until quite a bit digging has been done, and even then it would take a collsal amount of time to properly understand it, perhaps it might be a case of too little too late. *cue creepy music*

So yea, Kraven, you probably wont be finding any civi's when you hit the shores. Like the SF teams, you will find almost nothing at first. Perhaps a good deal of mines, as you are landing in a fortified area, just no one is there. Maybe a few automated defenses, but not likely.

Also, the seas around my nation are incredibly rough at the moment, like hurricane rough, so take that into consideration and everything.

no problem, the Forces won't hit the shore, they deploy from super VTOL carriers, that drop assault craft, they will hit the cities, hoping over the shore defenses, as for the Hurricane, i all ready factored that in without realising, i thought rough seas would be more cinematic, 4 hours away we are just starting to hit the Chop of the waves

Well, time for me to go home, (im at my mates house, my internet went awol tonight, so I wont commit my forces until the Internet at home is back up, If i don't post in the next couple of days assume my internet has Fubard, but will try to sort it out soon, if i dont see you all in the next couple of days, Take care!

http://www.wowwiki.com/images/e/e1/Worgen.png

Would I be wrong in assuming that the picture above looks like your creatures?


And BTW how many of the things are left?

Naa, they dont really look like that. Much harrier, and much more built for quadrapedal locamotion. They are built very heavily as well. Hmm... think... yak+dog+demon and you may have a general idea.

There are three left in the town, and numerous others in the hills howling.

Ah, I thought they looked similar when you described them hehe, I'll wait for Velkya and Xirnium to post before posting again, it wouldn't do for me to get all the action :P

Though Worgen do move pretty much like you described they could rear up and pose :P Awesome scene though :D

What did I miss while I was off in Tennessee?

So, I'm not sure where to send the slivers to get them killed, any suggestions, other than the obvious "north"?

Go to the capital, that's where the fungus lord is apparently.

Go to the capital, that's where the fungus lord is apparently.

I'll do that...

Sorry for not posting much over the past few days, and over the next few. Finals are upon me with great ferocity. :p

Yea they would die if they went to the capital. The is probably the last place you want to be in my nation. :D

Hey, they're mostly expendable, and right now I feel like killing a few things before having my leaders run like hell to regroup.

Interesting, might make an interesting finale, a showdown with the emporer

Finals are upon me with great ferocity. :p

Damn, I feel your pain. I only just finished my exams yesterday. Good luck.

Damn, I feel your pain. I only just finished my exams yesterday. Good luck.

Suckers, I don't have Exams until the end of the Semester, and this is only the end of the First Quarter.

At least you don't have the grizly horrors of A2 Exams and a 7,500 word Essay (and the essay is just for one subject and contributes only 10% of the grade)

I would have thought though the heart of the northlands being the ultimate of ultimate horrors?

Man that sounds tough, but Chinese is no push over. Damn ye Ni Hao!

Also, yes there are worse things in the northlands themselves, but I dont think one could even get to them, and they are not as "story" critical as others.

Hmm, my last exam is today - last of 4. Then I'm free until Feburary at least.

Anyway, has anyone noticed my troops in the city? Its just the last three posts I've made haven't generated any responses except from SEA who asked me to join.

I have actually, remember early on I set cameras up so I kinow Psyker is there and your Raven unit, however though at present I can't realistically send out a scouting team.

Well, I'm coming to you then.

sorry, i didnt mean to godmod that last post, but i got a bitz antsy.

So is this whole thing taking place in one town? Except for mini and kraven it seems for now...

I hope that description for the PESTs were enough or do i need to elaborate.... I dont want to sound stupid er anything i just want tocover all my bases befire i screw this up and ooc shite hits thy fanith...

Novacom is not a member of the AKA
Novacom Communications in addition to being heavily encrypted to the order it would take enough Super Computers to cover the world Landmassess 3 times over to decrypt
Novan, the Novacom Language is impossible to actually translate it's better than code since you need to mean what you say
On top of the Encryption Novacom Transmissions are impossible to detect
the chances of you detecting Xirnium's or Velkya's Transmissions while they are under my commander's care is also in the minus numbers as, Prophetess is masking them
Prophetess is also jamming all forms of detection and communication for any non-allied force meaning that your blind and mute as long as Prophetess is nearby and even then you won't be free of the effects until tommorow such is the extreme range


just a little information I didn't make clear earlier, not calling godmod merely uninformed, and things for me and Xirnium and perhaps one of the others is going north, Mini is heading to the Capitol and Kraven will propably be arriving in 2 days if he hasn't been butchered by these creatures yet.

Are you handling communications for all non aka members, in wich my last post would be null and void?

In which case I would be compleatly alone and unawares of the situation at hand?

Alright so let me make sure I have this straight.

Nova and Xirnium are heading north, although Xirnium may be heading to Regal's Folly
Mini Is heading towards the capital
Kraven is making land fall
Fattie and Pheonix are in the town... or around it?
Velkya is in the town...
Bear is making his way to an extraction point

After tomorro I am through exams and will be ready to post more again. Damn ye trig identities!

I'm with Nova and Xirnium.

So far Lord Gothar has elected to remain with the Novacom soldiers and the Velkyans. However, he is more then capable of acting as a lone agent, and he may decide to go to Regal's Folly later on.

Commander Anatos intends fully to stick with Lord Gothar, his orders got updated. He has no problems hanging round with the Velkyans as long as they don't end up getting one of his men killed.

Yes I'm handling Communications for non AKA as well as Xirnium and the Velkyans. Anything other than those is being blanket blocked. AFter all if your nation suffers Bermuda Triangle like conditions you learn how to protect yourself from it and subsequently how to duplicate the scrambling effects yourself.

Depending on Novacom's reply, I'll be heading with that group, wherever they go.

Xirnium just wondering who is Galdor? I thought it was Gothar :P not the first time I noticed either

Are you sure you don't want to go to the Amber Clad? It's a pretty neat aircraft, a modified carrier with bunks and all the C&C equipment you'll ever need.

In case I can't sway you, what type of ship is the Regal's Folly?

Try reading all my posts, I said we were going to swing by it on the way to the TOWN of Regal's Folly, Prophetess is a Prototype new model of Parridigram a Military Transport, this Variant can carry up to 20 Mobile Suits, and 200 Personell, it has enough Accomodation for 75 personell to live comfortably, when it has 200 personell it's fairly spartan, the Command Deck is cutting edge and sports a Holographic Projector Table as well as the full suite of advanced Jamming equipment and also a lot of COmmand & Control Equipment. Also Present is a large IXION Unit, Prophetess isn't that small, the Parridigram frame was pratically redesigned from the ground up, it's essentially an assault carrier now.

Son of a b***h. My bad.

How are you resupplying the transport with fuel?

It's running on a Tesla hybrid Battery. Like I said it's an experimental prototype, in about a week or 2 RL it's gonna swing into mass production, however minus the 4 Large Caliber Point Defence guns (roughly 90mm) and instead it'll have a much larger complient of smaller scale point defence guns

Smaller older model Cargo Parridigrams are shuttling supplies for my men to it and then returning to base.

Xirnium just wondering who is Galdor? I thought it was Gothar :P not the first time I noticed either

Woops, I'm confusing my own characters' names. Galdor is a Justice of the High Supreme Court of Xirnium, hehe, not an Inquisitor. Yep, its Gothar (sounds much cooler, doesn't it?) I'll correct it. Thanks for noticing.

I fortunatly have no such problems, my only problems is remembering to keep seperate the designs of Admiral Kukonois, and Novacom. They may have been one in the same before WW2 but afterwards Admiral Kukonois Rebelled and took with him a great force not just of soldiers but civilians and Mechnicians.

I've already got dozens of characters (many who I know almost nothing about and who still need their stories fleshed out) and the list is only expanding as I explore more and more of Xirnium. It's a total nightmare. I think I'll go make a list to consolidate who's who in Xirnium.

at least you only have to do that for one side, I have Novacom and a Rebellion to have characters names and designs for.
