OOC: This is a future tech RP.

My nation is sending several ships out to explore and look for new, undiscovered planets. Geneticon is looking for allies to join with them in the search for these new systems. We want 2-3 more RPers in this... please post here if you want to join, specifying what you have for an exploration fleet.

When (if) we find the planets we will divide them fairly among us...

I don't want anybody being very hostile in this RP, we're not looking for war, but rather for adventure and exploration.

Info about my fleet can be found at my Storefront (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=470405).

IC:

The Revelation roared across the reaches of space. Vice-Admiral Jonas Horath gazed around the bridge of his wonderful Retribution Class Battleship.

'Tis a beautiful day to travel the stars...

"Sir, we've received a message from the capital!"

"Send it through Lieutenant."

"Yes sir."

Message from Genesis:

Direct Message from President Johnson
"It is a wonderful day when another part of our fleet is operational. Thank you for your service. Now I ask you to go and make your country proud. We have provided you with the ships, now take them and make a name for us. Discover some wonderful things, explore the reaches of the universe. Claim lands in the name of Geneticon. Above all, stay safe."

Jonas shifted the way he was standing, and thrust his hands into his pockets. He walked over to the communications center and grabbed a transmitter.

"To all members of this Naval Force, we are transmitting the message from President Johnson now on this channel, pay attention... we're off to explore the stars."

Horath dropped the piece of equipment and walked back to the main part of the bridge. He took his seat in the Admiral's chair and spun around to look at the Com officer.

"Jenkins, send a transmission on all frequencies, whoever wants to join our operation in peace may. Let's make some friends here in space. Besides, it will be safer to explore in numbers, and with allies."

"Yes sir."

OOC: I don't think so...

And... let's have some RPing please... instead of just tagging. This RP will die with all the OOC stuff... if it doesn't stop.

OOC: I'll join ya. If you dont mind.

IC: The Explorer II slid across the black space and had at least nine other ships with it. While traveling this black, empty void the captain, Captain Josh Cort, was interrupted in his meditation by a beep of his communicator...BEEP...BEEP....

"Argh...what is it Commander?"

"Sir we just picked up a message on the long distance senors, Sir," replied Commander Kert.

"Alright, I will be at the bridge in few minutes." signed the captain. Well at least we finally ended this dull voyage. Thought the captain.

"Let me listen to the message, Commander," commanded the captain as he walked on to the bridge.

"Aye Sir."

"Hmmm, well send a message back to the source saying that we would gladly join the eploration," grunted the captain as he sat in his big captains chair, playing with his consol.

"Aye Sir."

Captain Lawrence N. Stanton of the "Scion" (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y293/jeudesprit/trinity/gilmoreredux.jpg) leaned foward as he gripped the back of the command chair...first his left then his right foot slowly lifting and circling behind him. He was tired, he was bored, and his back was killing him.... When would this damn survey end?

"Communication wave, non-Trinity or allied source, coming through sir."

Wincing as he pulled himself erect: " Feed the translation to my office. Have the XO join me there. Ops, you have the deck. "

*****

"Well, another show the flag mission," said Lt. Commander Morris. "Do you think Fleet Com expects results?"

"We're re-fitting the fleet because of one of these "Flag" missions as you call it," replied Captain Stanton. "Besides, we're going to jump sectors and get ahead of the great mapping survey. Just the thing we need, I think, to keep the crews sharp."

Pressing a tab on his desk, Stanton ordered:

"Commo, recall the Alans, Porter, Orgdu and Hakashi (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y293/jeudesprit/trinity/Bandoredux.png). Tell them it is a blue order and we will be meeting in two days at the co-ordinates that Nav will give you.

"Send the following message back to the Revelation:

Greetings, this is Captain Lawrence N. Stanton commanding Survey Taskforce 23 of the Federation of Trinity Prime. We request to join with your taskforce in our explorations. All details as to fleet speeds and necessary equipment for joint teams should be made clear at a meeting. Face to face if possible, by tight secure transmission if necessary.

This is a large, cruel and cold universe. It is always more welcoming with allies and maybe friends. May we seek our needs together."

(OOC: Here is my NS Information Page (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=469103).

Might I also suggest an out of character discussion thread linked here?

OOC: I'll make an OOC thread and post the link here.

Can you post specifics in the OOC thread or give us a link to the specifications of your fleet Erabia. Thanks.

Also, although thankfully nothing has come up yet, I'd like to keep it that way, please keep language to a minimum. If you want to curse, please mask it.

Thanks... :)

IC:

"Sir, we have multiple transmissions coming in!"

The Vice-Admiral turned in his chair.

"Send them through boy."

The messages played. Jonas rubbed his chin with his left hand... thoughtfully.

"Hmm... cool. Tell them they are both welcome to join, and we will halt our ships to await their arrivals here in the Gaxlin sector. Wire an appropriate message to the ships of Trinity Prime."

"Yes sir."

Message to Trinity Prime:

Thank you for your reply... you are welcome to join us. When you meet us in Gaxlin sector, we will arrange a face-to-face holo meeting. That's always the best way to communicate in space. We assure that the transmission will be secure. We are a peaceful nation, and we welcome your friendship on this journey.

Jonas swung his chair back to face the stars.

"And Leuitanant... power up the shields... we never know if some hostiles might pick up our message by accident. Leave the weapons offline however."

"Yes sir."

(on Explorer II)

Sect Captain Corts smiled and then turned to his ensign and commander, " well boys looks like we got ourselves an adventure, lead us to the location of these fleets."

"Aye Sir."

Then in a matterof minutes all 10 ships slightly turn and start slowly heading off in the direction of the transmission, but pick up speed as they head in the direction.

A short time later:

Four Bando Class (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y293/jeudesprit/trinity/Bandoredux.png) survey cruisers emerged from semi-space in a diamond pattern around the Scion (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y293/jeudesprit/trinity/gilmoreredux.jpg). Their blue-white plasma discharges flared briefly like shooting stars in the void.

A minute later this message came through to the Revelation:

"Trinity Survey Taskforce 23 on station and ready to proceed. This is Commodore Stanton," he said with a bit of unease in his voice. "Am switching now to discrete secure transmission via line-of-sight laser communicator. Will be transmitting tac-tac-oh until reception verified. Stanton out."

As he keyed off and waited for the new link to be established, Stanton ran his hand through his hair. The contact and cooperation orders included his obligatory bump in title. Captain was good enough in service, but new guests or allies had to be impressed. Commodore sounds like he has the power to negotiate and make deals. As if....

"Message from the Scion sir."

"Put it through."

The message played over the bridge com. relay.

Jonas stood and walked over to look at the new ships that had arrived. "Tell them to join up and wait."

Message to Scion:

"Thank you for your response. Your message has been verified. Welcome to our little exploration task group. We will be leaving soon, we are just waiting for another fleet that we are expecting to see enter the system at any moment, then we will be off. Join up on our wing. When the new ships arrive, we will transmit over frequency 011-420. Out.

"Sir we are approaching the other fleet." said the ensign.

"Ok son. Slow us to half speed and let our other ships in this fleet to do the same and keep weapon systems off and shields up." ordered the captain.

"Yes sir"

"We still have 45 minutes before we get there, but send them a message to this Revelation and her captain that they can let us know how we shall be assistance to them. Let them know they can be in charge of direction of this exploritory expedition, unless they want to discuss it in more detail of what plans they had in mind, let them know that i will gladly meet with them to paln whatever out." said Cort.

"Yes sir"

"Sir, we've got a message from the Earabian fleet."

"Excellent, they've finally arrived I'm assuming?"

"No sir, a little ways out, they'll be here soon. They want to know what we want them to do, and if we want to meet."

"Ah yes." Jonas shifted in his chair, and looked up at the void holo screen. "Tell them that we will meet with them via holonet in 1 hour."

"Yes Vice-Admiral."

Message sent to Earabia and Trinity Prime:

We will meet via holonet over a secure transmission in 1 hour. The frequency number is 011-420. See you then. Vice-Admiral Jonas Horath Out.

"We will meet via holonet over a secure transmission in 1 hour. The frequency number is 011-420. See you then. Vice-Admiral Jonas Horath Out. "

Message to fleet:
" Message received. One hour. Scion out."

Stanton began reviewing the basic questions:
1) Basic fleet assignments and orders.
2) "Discovered" planetary/system division of control.
3) Fleets aggressor stance.
4) God this list could go on and on.....

"All boils down to one thing," he thought.

"How much will we trust the other?"

"Sir, we've got a message from the Earabian fleet."

"Excellent, they've finally arrived I'm assuming?"

"No sir, a little ways out, they'll be here soon. They want to know what we want them to do, and if we want to meet."

"Ah yes." Jonas shifted in his chair, and looked up at the void holo screen. "Tell them that we will meet with them via holonet in 1 hour."

"Yes Vice-Admiral."

(on Explorer II)

"Sir we got a message saying we need to communicate with them on a secure line and gave us the frequency number." said Commander Kert.

"Alright Commander, how far out are we?" asked Captain Cort.

"We are about 25 minutes out sir."

"Alright let me know when we arrived then, I will be in my Ready Room. And also let me know more about what is in their fleets, i would like to be prepared when we arrive."

"Yes sir."

Is this thread dead? I am curious on that.

I think this thread is dead, so i am taking my ships somewhere else. I will send another force this way if the thread comes back to life.
