A small colony ship with 1,000 people aboard just left the system, and are beginning the countdown to go to a nearby star to found a colony after it was discovered that it had a suitable habitat. (As in M class not the O class my people currently have, and this is a new account so...)
10...9...8...7...6...4...3...2...1... the new hyper drive (What form of FTL propulsion do they use here?) activated and carried them to the star desgnated J2L-789 10.7 lys from the home system of Waterhelper.

(It would be nice if someone could RP the small outpost on the M class planet.)
"We are arriving at our destination sir." announced sensor oficer Saul Kenneth
"Good drop to sublight speeds."
"Yes, Sir."
As they got out they saw the planet they wanted to begin their new lives... along with a small outpost and a ship with vastly more supperior technology.

The Vergri was orbitting over the R&R facility that the third fleet had set up on a appropriate world that was out of the way and had the right climate when a largish colonial type ship appeared.


This is the Vergri, battleship of the Theao navy. We must ask what your purpose is in visiting this system.

Captain Geral Fell

"Ummm..." he stammers "This is the colonial ship Aqua III (the one after two failed FTL ships) We have come to tr to settle this planet, but i assume that it has already been taken." he thinks...
"If we make a enemy here we will most surely be wiped out. I at least hope we can make allies or at least some relations."

"Ummm..." he stammers "This is the colonial ship Aqua III (the one after two failed FTL ships) We have come to tr to settle this planet, but i assume that it has already been taken." he thinks...
"If we make a enemy here we will most surely be wiped out. I at least hope we can make allies or at least some relations."

The Vergri sent out another message that went as follows.
We would be interested in talking this over. If you are willing to talk, please send a shuttle carrying someone empowered to make executive decisions to the co-ordinates* inclosed in the transmission.

Captain Geral Fell

ooc: * The landing site is about a klick away from the R&R facility.

"We will come down AquaIII out."
"What do the rules say about first contact with a advanced race?"
*the crew starts looking through various data pads*
"Found it! It said that the captain along with the first officer will act in place of a diplomat or another government official."
"Then lets go down shall we." The captain and the first officer depart for the shuttle N3C-0003-1 .(the Aqua III has 2 shuttles and its serial number is N3C-0003)
The shuttle descended and landed. The two officers then departed from the shuttle craft.

As the shuttle landed, a vehicle with a boxy type design rolled up. Rolling down the window, the driver called over, "Want a ride?"

ooc: Assuming your people are human/humanoid

yea sure im more or less near human (I have no imagination)

Once the two diplomats, or whatever they were had gotten settled on the rather unyielding seats, the truck took off toward the R&R compound.

as they approached the R&R building they marveled at it's size ans beauty.
"the only build that come close to this is the capital building"( with the small but growing cities surrounding it)
"Yea I agree i wonder what their capital must be like"

Secret IC: Coming out of Hyperspace, Cloaked, was a Cassiopeian Spy Droid, a Satellite Droid used for Spying on other Nations. It was near a Mal'junka Class Star System (one with a Earth Like or Tar'ria Class Planet.) and it had seen something that the Cassiopeians wouldn't like. a Theao Starship and a unknown ship orbiting the Planet. Now the Cassiopeians would Ignore this if the Planet was many light years from The Ten Systems Region. But the System was close to The Territory claimed by The Empire...Too Close

Darkkaan, Cassiopeia Galaxy.

And The Cassiopeians were not just Mad, they were Pissed! Aliens near their Territory in the Milky Way was not liked by the Grand Counsil, or by Galactic Empress Cas'rai Gon'dor'ri, who was called The 'Gunboat diplomat' (like everyone else in The Cassiopeian Empire.) And she wanted the Alien Ship, even if they attacked The Theao Starship, Blasted to nothing. The Best one to to it would be General Chimaera.

The Aliens were not going to be near The Ten systems Region for long.

"Actually, this is the only real building on the planet." The driver replied with a chuckle at what they'd do if they actually got a chance to see the capital.


Meanwhile in Orbit

The Vergri's sensors picked up that was common with hyperspace rifts, thought as it was only a small rift, it was logged and left alone.

"I should have known after all its probobly one of those large empires like in the old sci-fi movies we keep pulling from the rubble.:
"Yea" *they both laugh*
"well i guess we are here." *they hop out of the truck*

"Not at all." The driver replied as he left.

Meanwhile a man and woman dressed in form fitting silver suits with blue trim were waiting to meet the visitors. The woman had deep red hair that fell to mid-back, while the man had electric blue hair cut short.

(my officers are wearing the formal cloths you see on riker and picard in star trek: TNG)
"OK..." *they hop back in."
...later at the building...
''Thank you driver.'' said the captain as he hopped out yet again. seeing the two greeters they walked over to greet them.
"Good... morning, its morning right? Anyway my name is captain lak'na"
"I am Commander tach a pleasure to meat you." It was obvious that he was attracted the the woman. *the captain jabs him in the stomach* "stop staring and focus on the mission for all you know she could be married" whispered the captain.
"Sorry, sir."

The woman smiled and commented, "I don't think we're quite compatible, you see, I'm not human."

The man smiled at his companion's comment and spoke, "My name is Commander Fei, and she is Sargent Ramius. Incidentally, she is an AS."

ooc: She looks completely human

The Astrosleuth, an Explorer Class ship cruised through T-Space.

“Captain, I am picking up chatter in the radio spectrum from Realspace.”

Captain Doyle looked up from the astronavigation reports he was reading using his Neurolink. “Play the message.”

The Comm Officer relayed the information through the holo-emitter and a view of the system in question appeared. A small window formed showing each craft along with several technical details the scanners picked up.

"This is the Vergri, battleship of the Theao navy. We must ask what your purpose is in visiting this system."

"Ummm..." he stammers "This is the colonial ship Aqua III. We have come to try to settle this planet, but I assume that it has already been taken."

"We would be interested in talking this over. If you are willing to talk, please send a shuttle carrying someone empowered to make executive decisions to the co-ordinates* enclosed in the transmission."

"We will come down, Aqua III out."

“Well, it seems things are finally working out without anyone trying to kill anyone else. We should stick around for a little bit to be sure.”

“Yes Sir.”

Several minutes later the Astronavigation computer signaled an anomaly alert. The AI quickly analyzed the data from the sensors.

“Captain, I have picked up a Hyperspacial Anomaly that appears to be artificial in origin. My Mass Detectors and Gravitational Sensors have picked up an object that emerged from the anomaly. The Energy Signature is consistent with some sort of active cloaking device. The Dimensional Sensor Array is picking the signature of Hyper-Emitted Ions indicating the object in question did originate from within the Hyperspace Rift I detected.”

“What is it doing?”

“It appears to be some sort of scout craft. I am not detecting any sign of organic life but it is relaying data somewhere. I am trying to get a fix on the destination of the transmission.”

“Keep an eye on it and trace that transmission. I want to know where they are sending that signal. One of those ships belongs to Theao. The other is obviously a colony ship like they said so it would be unarmed. I don’t like the feel of this. Relay the sensors through the Space Minus Transmitter so Command will know what is going on if anything happens. Keep the ship in T-Space so we are undetected.

“Yes Captain.”



OOC:

If I am not welcome in this RP just tell me so and I will delete the post. I have limited internet connection so please be patient, I will answer.

OOC: lol that is funny, and yea you can join i don't care but if theres a war i'll probobly get occupie or something. Oh and wats AS?

IC: Well thats wierd. thought the commaner.
"So, this is a milatary bace, what if someone monitored our transmissions earlier and will attack us?"

OOC edit: why do you have a cloak you have battledroid from SW so I assume you have SW technology. When they used a cloak on the star destroyer and asteroids i the Thrawn Trilogy they couldn't see out. Could you clarify this.

The Terran Battlecruiser Stuttgart wsa cruising along with a small Squadron of Heavy Cruisers and Destroyers when it noticed a sudden peak in activity in an out of the way system. There ws no reason for anyone to be thre, and it was deemed right and proper to investigate whatever was going on...

The small group appeared in the system without any flashiness or fanfare, simply translating into realspace with a gravitic flash.

OOC: I am SW tech, but the Cassiopeians use some of their own Tech, like the Cloaking Device on the Spy Droid. The Cassiopeians made sure that they can see the enemy, but the enemy can't see them.

"Not a base, an R&R compound." Fei replied as they entered the lavish compound.

Aboard the Vergri
"Great, more people coming to bother us."
"Inform the captain, she'll decide what to do with them."

Captain Olivia Qreig looked up from her reports as she was informed of the recent developments.
"Vergri."
"Yes Captain?"
"Send a message to the our new guests asking them what their buisness here is, oh and tell the AUX3 to report in."
"Sure."

To Ships of the Terran Dominion*, we request you inform us of your purpose in this system.
In addition another signal was sent off.

ooc: AS stands for Artificial Sentient
*Assuming I remember your FT's nation's name, MM.

OOC: Technically it's the Terran Dominion of Mini Miehm, but I prefer simply the Terran Dominion.

IC:

"hmm, Theaoans... Tell them we are here to inhvestigate increased activity in this region, give no indication of any hostile intent."

Transmission to the Theao Base:

We are Battle Squadron Stuttgart, we are here to investigate the increased activity in this system. We will not attack any of your installations unless we are attacked by you first.

If your only reason is a desire to investigate then you may return to your regular duties as we have the matter well in hand.

Meanwhile, the thirty-nine ships of the AUX3 warped into the system and moved to join with the Vergri.

ooc: It's Theao, not Theaon
Also that was sent by the ship, not the R&R facuility

on the colony ship AquaIII:
"Sir there are a number of ships dropping from hyperspace."
"hail them."
"This is the Waterhelper colony ship Aqua III. If you are here to investigate the abnormal amount of activity we can give you the answer. This ship was the first FTL ship developed by our people we are currently negotiating on the planet. If you would like to open relations you can go to these coordinates or wait."
OOC: that was to TDoMM

The Sovereign Class Super Star Destroyer Battle of The Heroes, 56 light years from the Way system.

The Ship was part of a large Fleet that was Massing near the Borader of The Ten Systems Region. With General Chimaera, Morgukai Kight Rai'tri Bala'dor and Grand Admiral Mongo'ali Tam'ban'dor in charge of The Task Force that was to send a Message to the Fleets that were Massing in the Way System. The Kind of Message that turned Ships into Scrap.

already, Chimaera decided to send part of that message in the form of 78 X-wing Starfighters and 23 Misla'tor Class Torpedo Bombers to give the aliens a tase of what was to come.

OOC: if you use a entire galaxy for your forces you will win every battle. Your new so i think you should know that you should start from a small country / nation (I did i was the borg collecive of prates with a population of a billion but i havent come here in a moneth and i just go on to do the issues)

The AUX3 had taken up their assigned places in the 'near' space around the planet.

ooc: TCG is almost/over a year old(like me)

Meanwhile, the thirty-nine ships of the AUX3 warped into the system and moved to join with the Vergri.

ooc: It's Theao, not Theaon
Also that was sent by the ship, not the R&R facuility

OOC: Like I care...

IC:

Reply:

We will remain in this system until this is all sorted out, because frankly I wouldn't trust you Garritrooper pieces of scheisse to handle a first contact situation with ANYTHING. We will remain here, and if you object too strenously, we just might have to do away with your presence here altogether...

Transmission to AquaIII:

We will not soil our boots by touching a world shared by these weaklings, if you wre to give us the coordinates to your homeworld we will send a delegation there.

The 40 ships of the Terran Battle Squadron were still moving into the system at nearly 600 Gees of acceleration, and would be able to engage the Theaoan vessels if they turned hostile.

OOC: oh wait sorry i keep thinking it 2005 but he still has a galaxy

IC:
in the compound:
"So what shall we negociate?"

space:
to TDoMM
"errr... we change our mind we don't have the ability to defend out selves in the event of a attack. is there another planet or space station near by that we could cunduct negotiations after the captain returns?"

Encrypted message to Waterhelper
"we have made contact with a alien race send the new X303 cattle cruiser here please."

OOC: oh wait sorry i keep thinking it 2005 but he still has a galaxy

OOC: Don't worry about Civilian numbers, so long as he RPs with the military his NS stats would allow him it's kosher.

IC:

Pick any other system, or have a meeting on our ship if you wish. It matters not to us.

Frankly, your tin-cans have less chance of scratching the paint on any one of our craft than a pea-shooter. If you attempt to interfere in our activities or those of the peoples of the Aqua III, you'll be a set of fireworks.

At the compound
"I was wondering what forms of compensation you would consider offering in exchange for this world." Fei replied

"Well, they think they can take us? Blow them out of space!!!"

The single massive Yamato Cannon on the Leviathan let loose with its powerful blast, and the Burst Laser batteries cut loose, HALO batteries and other missiles lashed space, all targeted on the single largest ship in the Theao group. The weak Theao ships would never survive a single diffuse broadside, much less the concentrated firepower that they had focused on a single ship.

OOC: Now, unless every one of your ships is significantly more powerful than an ISD, whatever I targeted is dead.

to TDoMM
We know of no other planet, in our sensor range, can we have access to your planet data base to search for one?

On planet: (If you can't tell i like stargate and will incorporate in into my RPs)
"Well we have about a ton of this element that is good at amplifying most types of energy a hundred fold. we have a ton as we have only recently built the processing station in the asteroid belt."

In space
The X-303 came out of hyperspace along with some diplomats. They then releived the colony ship and took over negotiations (exept on the ground.)
"Sir one of the ships destroyed another!"
"Hail them!"
"What is going on!"

Reply:

We will guide you to a system. We call it Basilisk... We have a major trading outpost there. Also, you may want to leave this system for a little while, this could get messy...

on the surface
"We just got a report that you are under attack if you accept our offer we can tell them to leave thus minimizing your losses."

in space:
We are trying to get this planet for our growin' nation please don't fight.
"Raise the shields! (All shield and weapons past lasers were from a advanced ship that crashed on my planet 50 years ago they are comparable to yours but are slightly weaker and has less powerful weapons) Launch the fighter squadron!
deploy the mines! (This this was equipped with mines just in case of this probability on this mission)

IC: Coming out of Hyperspace, the Fighters and Torpedo Bombers were appearing, ready for battle. But it looked like someone started the party already, "Mini Miehm Ships, alot of them!" said Red Leader, "We better tell Chimaera about this. But first, lets attack, Lock S-foils in Attack Prosition." The Fighters and Torp Bombers soon locked their S-foils and headed for the Theao Fleet, ready To Join to Battle.

Secert Message to Mini Miehm Fleet:

Mind if we help you???

On Planet
"We'll have to run it by our techies, but that may be an option." Fei replied, "And based on numbers and known factors, it shouldn't be a long, or costly battle, for us at least." Raimus replied

In Space
As the TDoMM ships opened fire, the myrid and numerous defensive systems aboard the vessels activated. As the missiles slashed in, each was met by thousands of point-defense rounds, both of the laser and ballistic variety.

Meanwhile the ships slip apart, which made targetting them quite difficult as they refused to remain in one place. As the powerful blast slid by the Vergri the vessels returned fire, thought they were being peppered by lasers rounds, concentrating on the eight largest vessels. Each ship erupted in concentrated fire as plasma, as well as lasers, grav-cannon* rounds and missiles, both of the class one and three variety were launched.

The Vergri sent out a message into space as it's battlescreens destroyed a missile salvo..

ooc: Each of my ships is at least as defensively powerful as an ISD, and exponentially more manuverable.
Waterhelper, it is considered bad form to post other people's losses.
* Similar to a rail gun, but significantly faster.
Class one would destroy New York while class three would destroy Pluto. There is no way to destinguish which class a missile is from sensors.

((I'm just going to wait to see how this turns out))

OOC: 1 Maneuverability is no use against light speed, or near light speed weapons(lasers, yamato cannon, plasma).

2 ISDs suck defensively.

3 Grav-Cannon... Where have I heard that before??? Other than on my own ships, nowhere of course... Tell me, do you use Anti-Matter to accelerate small slugs to fractional C velocities with the aforementioned cannon?

4 I suggest we create a new thread for this battle so we don't clutter Waterhelpers thread.

IC:

Lasers lashed space on both sides, crumbling bulkheads and shattering armor, but that didn't last very long as the TD Squadron rolled ship onto their sides, presenting the impenetrable stress bands of their Gravitic Wedges towards the enemy, literally nothing could penetrate them. Their fire was forced to slacken to just missile batteries while they rolled, but once they dropped back to level on the other broadside, they unleashed their batteries again, setting out plasma gatlings, gatling lasers, HALO missiles, KEWs, Warp Torpedoes, capable of dragging large portions of the enemy into hyperspace when they detonated. All of their fire was still targeted on the lead enemy vessel, so their splitting up had only weakened their defenses, instead of making it more difficult to hit them.

OOC2: Almost forgot, you never actually had to deal with the impeller wedge before, did you? Well, I've got a tech thread somewhere. I'll post it when I find it, long and short is, Singularities and Vong Dovin Basals are the onl;y weapons that really work against it, period. http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=444151 Should be in one of the last posts on the first page. Ship registries are only semi-complete, as I need to add my various lighter classes of Cruiser(Strike, Heavy) and my Destroyers.

OOC: I suggest we create a new thread for this battle so we don't clutter Waterhelpers thread.


OOC: I second it.

((Well i don't care its not like i can do anything besides have my shields up until this is over))

OOC: Well, I can get you out of there... But there will be a price...

The fact that the enemy was soley tossing missiles presented a decreased threat, as none of the ships had left the maximum over lap of point-defences, PDs could handle a large numbers of missiles before being overwhelmed. The lasers and plasma rounds presented the largest threat as they had to be either avoided, difficult with the large number of weapon fire flying throught the cosmos, or dealt with by the shields.

As the Vergri had both the greatest defensive systems as well as being quite manuverable, the bombardment was having less of an effect than intended, thought the battlescreen operators were having problems predicting the OPP for the screens which meant the shields were taking any number of direct hits.

ooc: 1: When dealing with distances of at least 1 light-minute, and FTL sensors, manuverability is an issue/useful as heck.

2: Hence, the AT LEAST as defensive

3: You have heard of it in John Ringo's novels(As I know you draw some inspiration from some of the same sources I do) and no, I don't use AM as the method of propulsion for the slugs in my grav-cannons.

4: I don't mind either way.

5: Incidently, the link doesn't mention anything about Impeller Wedges(thought in the IC part you called them Gravity Wedges).

6: Lastly, because of university schedualling, will be unable to get computer acess for most of tomorrow/wensday.

((well that's the answer to everything all my ships are holding at the edge of the system with a mine shield holding around them as a secondary defence against weapon fire, but besides that my colony ship is retreating and is out of the crossfire. Also if any missile just happens to slip through the defences i see no point in continuing negotiations as i don't have the supplies to clean up the planet. so i hope we can find a *peaceful* solution to the problem))

OOC:

1: We are currently at about 1.3 light minutes, 1.5 is the maximum range of my missiles. You have about 80 seconds to detect, acquire, lock, and destroy the missiles. Dodging is even orse, since you have only 80 seconds to kill your forward velocity, and then generate enough velocity on a different heading to avoid the shot. Plasma Gatlings fire at 6 shots per second, Gatling Lasers slightly slower, Yamato fire every minute or so, Burst Lasers fire every second. I think there's a Graser in there somewhere too, and if you read Honorvers, you know just how bad those are to screw with.

3: Yes. I'lll even let you meet Iron Mike a little later... Like in this post... I love Warp Recall Boarding Actions.

5: Sorry about that, I meant to change the title for that tech... It's the Variable Phase Gravitic Shielding.

For Warp Recall, think Trek Style Transporters, only without the whole "stopped by shields" issue, and with a swirling blue Gate as the physical manifestation, instead of a shiny blur.

IC:

Well, if the enemy could handle all of the fire from the squadron, directed on one enemy, then it was time to see how the dealt with a boarding action...

Deep withing the massive Leviathan, a squad of ACS TRoopers waited at the Warp Gate for the time to strike. Then the Gate opened, and a single squad of ACS from the Leviathans stepped through the Gate, and was swiftly deposited into the enemy command ship, or at least, the ship that they believed to be the enemy Flag... They would take the ship, and then turn it against its former masters, before Warping out again, to strike another ship.

The ships of the Battle Squadron were battered, but they were all still intact, a testament to their creators skill and their powerful armor. They lashed space with every weapon in the Terran and Protoss arsenals, Grasers, Lasers, Particle Disruption Cannon, Yamato Blasts, Missiles and Torpedoes of all stripes, Plasma, everything they had they concentrated on a single ship. Nothing could survibe thr fire of 40 opponents untouched for long.

message to all factions
Can we work out a PEACEFUL solution to this planet and the surrounding space.

message to all factions
Can we work out a PEACEFUL solution to this planet and the surrounding space.
We would be quite willing to work out a peaceful solution, but as we aren't the ones who initated the hostilities, it is out of our hands The Vergri sent back as it avoided another cannon barrage.

I have sent a shuttle to these coordinates along with a diplomat if you would like to conduct negotiations if not keep pounding away at each other till a all out war breaks out.

OOC:

Are you creating a new thread for this battle? I saw it mentioned but people only posted their factbooks and other like links.

As soon as I saw the firefights I would have brought in several of my ships but I will hold them in T-Space. My cincern is Theao and the Waterhelper colony ship. I will protect them if I can. I will also offer the Waterhelper assistance in gaining safe passage out of the system if they wish.


Also CG, we do not recognize your claim on the 10 planets area because in the other thread TFU legally claimed them before you even got there. This is not a place to argue the point, but an IC reference to our opinion of your claims. If you want to discuss it please use the TG feature on the boards.

OOC: I don't even know and only my colony ship needs help as its sublight is slow

"Turn that off."
"Yes sir" The captain was mad that he couldn't help because if he id he would be destroyed along with the only thing remotely capable of defending the system of waterhelper.
"record the message then boost it it should give it extra range."
''Aye Captain." (It would be nice if a fleet got the message but hey no one has too) he watched as a few stray shots repeatedly hit the ship...

Thankyou I want to be taken to the ship that is waiting on the outside of the system surrounded by a mine field. However out nation still prefers to end this peacefully if that is possible. We thank you for the assistance

Reply:

The Theaoans have been courting this conflict for some time, we fear thgat until they are destroyed this will not end, as for your exit, please simply pass through the warp gate when it appears.

In front of the Waterhelper representative, a swirling blue nimbus formed, and a second nimbus formed on the Waterhelp[er ship that he had designated, all he had to do was step through and he would be taken safely to his destination.

The Empire of Balrogga told me he wanted to post this:
I was attempting to post on the war thread but Jolt seems to be dead. Here is the post I will make for a matter of record:

As soon as the conflict broke out, aboard The Astrosleuth many alarms began to ring.

“Captain, there are more ships entering from hyperspace and they are firing upon the Theao ships.”

“Dammit, I suppose I should have expected this. Nobody wants to do anything peacefully now days. Send for reinforcements. We are not equipped to stop battles.”

“Yes Sir.”

A few minutes later:

“Captain, Command has rerouted several ships that were traveling to the N’Glok system. They should be here soon.”

Suddenly another proximity alarm went off.

“Captain, more ships are appearing. They bear the same basic signature of that drone we detected earlier. They are coming in hot.”

“I knew they would be trouble. Send word to Command of the situation. Tell them we need some ships here sooner.”

“Yes Sir. They estimate Wormhole Transfer will occur within 9.5 minutes. The N’Glok ships will arrive in four minutes”

“Take us to Realspace within 1000 meters of the colony ship. Open a Comm channel.”

A few moments later, the 1000 meter Explorer Class vessel Emerged from T-Space about 1 Km away from the Waterhelper colony ship.

“Attention colony ship. We offer you protection of the Balrogga Empire. Your acceptance will not indebt you in any way. We will protect you until reinforcements arrive, which will be very soon. We will then guide you out of harms way using our shields.”

Attention Theao vessels, this is the Imperial Explorer Vessel, The Astrosleuth. We have called in a destroyer task force to help impose your jurisdiction upon your own system. We ask that all hostilities be ceased immediately.”

“Attention all hostile invaders, the Balrogga Empire has offered assistance to the Waterhelper vessel and to the Theao vessels. If they accept, firing upon them will constitute an act of aggression against The Empire. The Destroyer Task Force’s eminent arrival will secure the system against all hostile activities. If you do not wish to fight against us, cease all hostile activities and end this peacefully. You have 5 minutes to decide your fate.”

To explorer ship:
That you but there is no need because We have already reached our jump point.
to Theo, Empire of Balrogga, and TDoMM:
I wish you would have peace but we extend a invitation to open embassies at these coordinates. Also it would be nice if you gave us some of the more basic technologies to get us on our feet.

ooc: Apologies for not posting earlier, what with the computer problems/Jolt problems. Anywho, will be editing this into a proper reply as soon as I get home from Uni(sometime later today).

OOC: I think it was server wide as I couldn't get on too

OOC:

Thank you for posting for me. I had to leave school and Jolt was being it's typical ass when I was trying to post. I will give it a few hours before I post the arrival of the first group (four minutes away).

OOC: bump

OOC:

I am waiting to give the others a chance to respond to my post before I bring in the first group of ships.

It's only fair.

OOC: I've been waiting for Theao to make a reply. I cn see why yoiu'd defend a new guy like Waterhelper, but a wanker like Theao doesn't deserve any help man. Also, I've been told that I'm forbidden to fight you by my Boss.

OOC: this is boreing I hate waiting... so anyone want to open a emabassy

OOC: this is boreing I hate waiting... so anyone want to open a emabassy

OOC: Sure, I'll send a mission wherever... Just gimme some coordinates...

On Board the Vergri
The marines were teleported onto the Vergri, which was incidentally the one that the fourty ships were doing their darnest to destroy. As soon as they actually set foot on the craft, one of the AIDS activated and teleported the invading marines outward, not back to their ship of origin, but to the middle of the spatial battlefield which would leave them stranded unless they had propulsion units, and fairly long ranged ones at that.

In Space
Three of the corvettes, who'se shields had taken a beating, were ripped apart by fire that tracked across their hulls. Meanwhile the outer shields on the Vergri failed which would give an observant, and very skilled crew a chance to get a few hits in against the hull of the battleship.

The signal sent had reached the target and those that had been it's target had arrived. The AUX1 and AUX2 arrived, and rapidly moved into position taking up the other two points of a triangle around the TDoMM ships so they could pound them to bits if they continued the fight.

Transmissions
To: AquaIII
We would be glad for peace, thought at present we are busy defending ourselves from the attacks of the Terran Dominion of Mini Miehm

To: Astrosleuth
We thank you for the aid, and would be quite happy if hostilities ceased, but at present we are busy trying to avoid being destroyed by those that fired the first shot in this conflict.

ooc: I've been having a great deal of problem getting online, in the last few day, as well as when I have been able to get on, Jolt's been down 9/10 of the time.

ooc2: There's were we've been running into problems. We're opperating on different assumptions of range. You've been thinking 1.3 light minutes, I've been thinking around 30 light minutes.

OOC: Question, is this triangle arrange verticall, or horizontlly?

IC:

The fire from the enemy ships crippled one pof the destroyers, but it was still able to fight, if not move. They continued to pour their fire into the enemy, thousands of bolts of coherent light and energy lashed space with their fury, lasers, grasers, a massive Yamato Blast, plasma, and a different type of missile were all put into play. They had given up on the contact range warheads, now they switched over to standoff range laser warheads, that detonated at 30,000 kilometers, and sent stilettos of particle laser light into the enemy ships, capable of shattering bulkheads and crushing hulls withtheir energy.

The ACS were quickly recovered, and redeployed in a different manner. They had 72 hours worth of power, and they also had full vaccuum combat capability, and they were instead deployed to the hull of another enemy vessel in one of the newly emerging groups. They would use their powerful Gravguns and Terrawatt lasers to blow through the hull, and take the ship, whicjh would then be rammed into the nearest enemy, while they teleported away to repeat the process.

Message to all:
It seems to me other sides are misunderstanding each other you both want peace but think the other wont stop. We will be happy to mediate a settlement to this conflict at our home system while you set up embasies. If you agree to this we have one request that you only send one ship. We will wait about another hour before leaving to see if you will agree to a cease fire and negotate.

The range warheads were still well withing the range of the PDs of the ships, and were being lashed by the PDs like there was no tomorrow. As the enemy fired there massed barrage, the ships that were in the path of the onslaught decided to bend the rules, so to speak, and activated the TeDU engine to preform a slight slid to the outside of the AUX3 formation, letting the beams pass throught harmlessly, thought it did temporarily decrease the volume of fire from that direction, while AUX1 and AUX2 opened up on the ships that were threatening their breathren.

Open: All Participents
We are perfectly willing for a cease-fire to take place, as we aren't the ones who initated this conflict. That being said, if the TDoMM wish to take this to their death, so be it.

ooc: The triangle is 3-D, sort of like this http://psylux.psych.tu-dresden.de/i1/kaw/diverses%20Material/www.illusionworks.com/html/impossible_triangle.html

Also your ACS can travel over a a light minute on thrusters?

OOC: Ok, gotcha. Anything above or below my ships is useless, you know that right?

They were teleported out, they have tracking beacons, they can be teleported back just as easily.

Transmission to the Waterhelper Vessel:

We are willing to have peace, if you will mediate the truce in a way that is least onerous to us.

Ok here are the coordinates. Also We have sent up a diplomatic sector in the capital city where you may put embassies.

Then the ships jump into hyperspace back to the system of waterhelper

As the marines were teleported to the hull of another vessel, they were returned to the middle of the battlefield again. The captain of the vessel they'd attempted to board, a cruiser incidentally, chuckled at the fact that if they kept trying that, soon the marines would never again be daddies or mommies as the defensive 'porter tended to do unpleasent things to the reproductives of those who managed survive the first out-bound 'port.

ooc: I know, but most of the fire will still be broadsiding, as they aren't that much(proportionally) above/below your's.

The Terran ships fire off one last spiteful broadside, the Protoss snaredn a Warp Gate, and the entire Dominion force disappeared in a flash.

im going to do the negotaitions in another thread

After the Mini Miehmers(Unsure of correct plural of name) had left, the Theao set to work dealing with the various items. They towed those ships too damaged, while those less damaged dealt with repairs theirselves.

Meanwhile the Vergri sent out a number of messages on coded channels.

After a period, a much larger ship of Theao than was seen at the battle appeared in the Waterhelper star system, and transmitted the message asking for landing co-ordinates as well as planetary conditions(atmospheric, temperature, tectonic ect.).

((ooc: dont you have scanners for that/))

((ooc: dont you have scanners for that/))
ooc: Lazyness/and easier(likely) to get the natives to give the info.

OOC:

Drat! Everything happens while I am away. Oh well…


IC:

After four minutes a large wormhole sprung into existence and six ships emerged from the event horizon. Moments later the wormhole closed. The ships were in the center of the battlefield. Lucky the battle ceased a minute ago and nobody was shooting.

The Interceptor Class Destroyers quickly spun upon their axis looking for any hostile targets. A message was broadcast from the ships on all channels.

This is the 14th Battle Group. All ships are commanded to cease hostilities and join with the peace talks at the Waterhelper’s coordinates.

Several of the ships tracked the Cassiopeian vessels. The Astrosleuth joined the conference at the given coordinates.
