ooc: hi, just something i want laid out hopefully anyone who comes to meet me will be peaceful i am not a new RP'er i have doen thins before i just felt like starting anew.

Raven swan through the warp probing searching for a new place to call home, his people have been hunted almost to extinction the few million left, fleeing from the onslaught of the young ones Raven and his kind,, the Crystlinicans were prised reasources to the youngones of the old space their hard crystal bodies and natural weaponry and FTL capabilites a very worthy prise indeed

Raven felt his body quiver and shake as they reutnred to normal space in a new system detecting a intelligent races nearby he seent a message into space

Greetings, race of young." he spoke on all frequencies he knew his mind flickering thorugh them seeking a reply "We are the Crystlinicans we need help we have been hunted pursued to almost extinction, please we need help" he wondered... his mind swimming through his massive body if they could understand him he gasp and shook with happyness as the rest of his species arrived in this galaxy 100 small 200 meters fighter bodies 200 larger battle bodies each 1k long and 1 large crystal City hold what was left of his race they sat in space drinking in from a nearby sun wating for a reply

"Blarg! I'm hit!"

"Break! Break!"

"...aces of young..."

"I've got a lock."

"Knight Three, Fox Two!"

"...we need help..."

"Archer Seven, Fox One!"

"Hard left! Break!"

"...please, we need help..."

"Missile shot trashed."

"...Captain, this is Vancouver. We've received an odd transmission. It seems to be on all channels. Your presence is requested on the bridge."

"I've been noticing noise on the channel out here too. Training is canceled until further notice. All units RTB ASAP."


When Captain Wilson arrived on the bridge, he was still in his flight suit. The patch on his shoulder showed that he was once in charge of a squadron of FA-01 Goshawks before being given a ship. VFA-012, the Hornets. Now the Hornets were assigned to the science vessel Vancouver, the very vessel that he commanded now.

Vancouver was on a mission to find new sources of a rare crystalline ore known as Hermium. Hermium was the primary material required for Vancouver's FTL drives, the Project Hermes hyperspace gates, and the powerful Hermium Wavefront bombs. It was in high demand, and new sources were always needed.


"Good morning, Sir. The strange transmission is playing in a loop at the comms station. You might want to listen to it."

"Very well."

Wilson made it a point to listen several times before setting the headset back onto the console.

"An odd name, but if they need help we ought to do what we can. We're the good guys here, after all." mused the captain.

"Sir?"

"Send a reply."




Greetings, Crystlinicans. This is the science vessel Vancouver of the Bryn Shanderan navy. What is the nature of your emergency?

*bumple*

There was ejoicing throught out the gathering when they recived a reply, homing in onto the location the braodcasted again, still going towards the whole galaxy but a second more direct one was sent to them

Young ones, we are a race of old. Hunted to almost extiction by that of the Re'kis for our bodies our homes our lives, we fled the galaxy in a exodus 35billion strong we were... only 6 million of us left we came to restart and seek help we. are. the. Crystlinicans"

The massive fleet "home one" set a course for the scince ship entering the warpnet they sailed through tales of joy being sung between them as they headed for the source of the reply.

---

minuetes later...

The fleet emerged from the warp in a massive pillar of light, which of course for anyone within 21 lightyears would of detected the huge burst of stella radiation, the cityship came first them came the rest they sat in space wait... to anyone who just came it would look like a massive cluster of Space crystals.

"Holy shitcock!" was all the captain could say as he witnessed the huge mass of crystalline entities arrive.

"Comms, get me the Nicolaus Copernicus. She should be nearby."

A message was sent to the New Havenic science vessel requesting her presence. The Nicolaus Copernicus was a Galileo class science vessel, a sister ship to the Vancouver. The New Havenites, however, were generally better with strange phenomena like these crystalline creatures than their Shanderan counterparts.

the fkeet formed a perimiter around the city ship the small fighter bodies gracefully arcing through space while the larger battle bodies sat in space around the city ship...waiting...watching

Raven spoke to the ship in the system "are you the vancouver of the Bryn ?

Aboard the Copernicus, the sensors operator was practically falling asleep while he scanned the local vicinity. With the labs hogging most of the sensor bandwidth, the only things to scan for potential threats with was the standard gravitic sensors and the tachyon sensors, and even those had severe bandwidth issues. In order to compensate for the lack of sensor coverage for tactical purposes, the flight deck had launched several sensor probes to cover the gaps. The feeds from the probes was shipped directly to the tactical station, so the Sensor Officer's presence at this point was merely to fill the station in case the probes caught wind of approaching ships.

Suddenly, the tachyon pressure sensors began to register a weak signal. The Sensor Officer woke out of his funk and slid the curtain away from the rear compartment door. "Possible FTL signature, this is no drill!" He kept watching it as the ship went into Combat Standby Alert and full bandwidth was returned to the sensors station. As the bandwidth returned, the signal began to exceed normal FTL limits. "Tachyon Pressure readings are off the standard scale! Ares save us!" As suddenly as the signal appeared and reached its peak, it vanished... leaving behind a normal background pattern.

"What happened?" Captain Terry Holcomb asked from the bridge. While he suspected a sensor malfunction, it was just as likely that it was a completely new and unexplored phenomena.

"I don't know... one minute, it was the strongest signal ever registered by the system!" The Sensor Officer replied. "Then as soon as it had appeared, it was gone!"

"Could it have been a massive fleet passing through the area?" Captain Holcomb asked.

"Negative, sir," The Sensor Officer replied as he replayed the event on his screen. "I would have detected a major return flow filling in the gap behind the fleet as it passed through our area. I think we actually got hit by the trailing wave."

"A trailing wave did that?!" Captain Holcomb responded. "Get the Vancouver on the line, we are going to have to compare notes with this one!" Just as the communications officer began to dial in the Vancouver's FTL comm. frequency, the FTL radio receiver began to signal an incoming message.

"Captain, incoming message from the Vancouver... its from Captain Wilson personally!"

"Put him through!"

While they waited for the youngling's response they began playing their original messae again many people abord the City Chip " New Horizion" were hoping that these people would be friendly Ravens thoughts mirrored the same this as he sent the transmission again looping it

"Greetings, race of young,We are the Crystlinicans we need help we have been hunted pursued to almost extinction, please we need help"

"Sir, we're getting another message from the Crystlinicans. They're asking if we're 'the Vancouver of the Bryn'."

"Send them a confirmation."


Meanwhile, Captain Wilson was busy with Captain Holcomb.


"Terry, you'll shit bricks when you see it. Take a look at this video from our external cameras."

In the image was the Crystlinicans, millions of them.

"Oh my god! It's full of geodes!" came the New Havenic captain's shocked reply.

"It gets better. The geodudes are talking to us."

"lolwut?"

"My communications officer is talking to rocks."

"You've got to be fucking with me."

"Get your coat and see for yourself, Terry."

ooC: hey Crystlinica ....... how do rocks talk?

ooc: good question first, they arnt rocks tey are senitent crystals a factbook is being made 2. They talk via a sorta mind phsic stuff were they can sorta "see" radio wavesand push their thought "words" into them.

"We are the Crystlinicans we need help we have been hunted pursued to almost extinction, please we need help" said a voice coming through the radio.

"Get a fix on that signal and prepare to hyperjump," ordered King Lanakan.

The bridge was busy as the signal was being fixed of a location. The two pilots turned the carrier towards the position of the hyperspace jump. 20 Crusiers, 10 assault carrier's and numerous destoryers and frigates alongside 10 transport carriers started to make the hyperjump. ETA: 1 Day

"This is King Lanakan of the Lynion Guardian Fleet Alpha. We have heard your distress call and are coming to aid you. We'll be with you within a few hours," replied Lanakan to the distress call.

He watched as 10 battle assault carrier's joined them in the hyperjump.

...sworn defender of Coredia, freedom and the right to eat ice cream. It is a Defender-class Star Destroyer, one of the workhorses of the Coredian Navy and it was out on deep space patrol, as many Defenders are. Not that Captain Gunther Bismark wouldn't go boldly to where no man has gone before, it's just that he feels that's a real-life cliche to have a starship with that name with a similar mission to a ship from a holovid. At least there aren't any civilians on board, but sometimes one couldn't tell with the cadets on board.

Anyway, so he and Jedi Master Cody Quortan, recently transferred from the Hellfire, were out on a patrol that could quite well be worthy of an episode. They've just received a long-range distress call.

Greetings, race of young." he spoke on all frequencies he knew his mind flickering thorugh them seeking a reply "We are the Crystlinicans we need help we have been hunted pursued to almost extinction, please we need help"

"Well, what do you make of this, Master Jedi?" Captain Bismark asked.

"Could be anything, but it seems to me that they could indeed be in trouble." Master Quortan said. "We should check it out."

"Aye. And perhaps gain prestige. Helm, triangulate the last known direction of the distress call and prepare to jump to hyperspace on my mark!" Captain Bismark ordered.

"I got it! Somewhere in the region of the Vineyard Nebula! 32 parsecs corewards and spinward from here!" Corewards means towards the core of the galaxy, a black hole with a mass of millions of suns and spinward means in the direction of the galactic spin. The Vineyard Nebula was a glowing mass of dust, gas and new stars that looked very much like Martha's Vineyard.

"Very well. Jump!" Captain Bismark ordered.

On the bridge, starlines streaked out and the ship vanished into the blue void of hyperspace. A message was sent forth from the Star Destroyer.

Greetings, unknown friend. This is the Coredian Star Destroyer Enterprise. We have heard your distress call and will be arriving in about thirty minutes. Over and out.

ooC: hey Crystlinica ....... how do rocks talk?
That's not particularly weird. In some places of the Star Wars galaxy, there are sentient crystals that can use the Force. :p

The Copernicus dropped from hyperspace only two kilometers from the Vancouver, its sensors being flooded with the shear amount of energy permeating the local environment.

"Unbelievable," Captain Holcomb whispered as the view screen showed the massive crystalline field. "Scan for Hermium." The Sensors Officer poured over his measurements, checking for telltale sign of the valuable element.

"No trace of Hermium except for the Vancouver's hyperspace module. How the Hell did these things conduct an FTL jump of such magnitude?" The Sensors Officer replied.

"I think we're going to need a bigger boat."

ah ok... thanks ooc:

Raven rejoiced as he heard yet more replies to the hail's hurridly he sent some more messages

"Coredian Star Destroyer Enterprise, We welcome your arrival and thank you for responding in our time of need"
"King Lanakan of the Lynion Guardian Fleet Alpha, We welcome you arrival and thank you for responding in our time of need"


When the new ship arrived Raven sent a quiery from what he could tell it looked very much like the ship already here
"greetings unidentified vessel .. who are you? what are your intentions?"

The Copernicus's communications officer received the message and was shocked. "Sir, audio-only communication being received from the lead crystal!"

"On speakers." Captain Holcomb listened to the transmission before signaling to open hailing frequencies. "This is the Imperial Naval Vessel Nicolas Copernicus. We are here to assist our sister ship, the Vancouver."

"For supposedly being friendly, I don't like their tone," Commander Hodgkin said of the crystal's transmission.

"Better than getting shot at," Captain Holcomb replied. "Establish a data link between us and the Vancouver... I want as much information as possible about these crystals."

"Yes, sir."

"Coredian Star Destroyer Enterprise, We welcome your arrival and thank you for responding in our time of need"

Thirty minutes later, the Star Destroyer Enterprise dropped out of hyperspace near the area. It seems that several nations' ships have already gotten here. Open hails went out to everyone.

"Hello, everyone. This is Captain Bismark of the CSD Enterprise. I see we all have come to the same location. Pleased to meet you all. I trust introductions are available?"

He seemed to be quite a cheerful fellow. Another message was sent, this time sent to the crystal-like ship before them.

"Crystlinica vessal, what is the nature of your emergency, over?"

Revan was about to inform everyone of his and his species plight and exodus from the....

Raven cried out in alarm anyone scanning would of picked up energy surges from the Crystlinican vessels not noticable before on thier almost perfect geometrical shapes gun sights and turrets were being brought out and charge Bright yellow balls of energy forming at the tips of them emitting enough energy to eclipse a sun or two....

Raven hissed over the comms to the aliens gather
"Theycome! they found us!"

---

On bored the Avenger class Harvester Admiral Whietd stood abord his 5km flagship commanding the last of the Czermler Empire he hunted the last of their mortal enemies and power source the crystlinicans.

His fleet.. no His empire he thought... as it made the transition to realspace immediatly sighting the Crystlinicans they decended upon them the DOver and Rost twin 3km warships and over 1000 ships ranging from small fighters to 660m frigates moved to engage the Crystlinicans balls of blue energy dampening light began acculmulation at their guns they had spent decades hunting the Crystlinicans so their weapons would have little or no effect on nyone else.

---

Raven screamed to the ships under his command "FIRE" the darkness of space was illuminated by hundred of thousands of balls of yellow and blue energy criss crossing through space ranging from small bolts to large almost frigate sized bolts from the city ship.. only seconds into the battle Crystlinicans floated through spacedisabled or knocked unconsiours or simply unable to fight while wreckage of the Czermler drone frigates and fighters littered the area.

Raven sent messages to the Other ships
"please... zZzz<static> helps us zZXZ<static> the rest of the message obsucred by the battle

"Jump between the enemy and our new allies." Captain Bismark growled as he saw the enemy fleet bear down upon the crystal-people's ships. "Once we do, fire off several warning shots at them."

"Yes, sir!"

In an instant, the Star Destroyer's FTL folded space around the warship, making a brilliant flash that appeared between the two fleets. Almost immediately, fire flared all over the shields, but it was almost like a pretty light show. The Star Destroyer then lit off with a series of powerful turbolaser and beamlaser strikes that crossed the bows of the enemy fleet. Warning shots all. The next ones clearly won't misss.

"Shields are holding well, sir. The enemy's weapons seem to be optimized towards the Crystalinicans, and they're not even making a noticable dent in our ship."

"I see. Send off a message."

"Incoming fleet! This is the Coredian Star Destroyer Enterprise! Crystalinica is now under the protection of the Imperial Republic of Coredia! What is the meaning of this unprovoked assault?!"

OOC: You're not bad, new one, but your sentences need more work. Each one looks like a runon sentence and it's hard on the eyes. The key to being a good RPer begins with good grammar. For example, see how I structure my sentences. Each trail of thought ends with a period, like so. And begins with a capital letter. You also need to proofread your spelling more often. Use Microsoft Word or something similar and say your sentences out loud to check if they make sense. Do this, and you'll be taking the first step in a larger world.

Admiral Whietd studied the alien message.. he also noticed his guns wernt having any effect..
"all ships break off" he ordered the drone frigates and fighters backed away retreating to their hangers.

"Attention intervening ships, these are the property of the Czermler Empire, you have no right to them they are OURS, you risk war with us be careful for the next time we meet you will not be so lucky."

With that the Czermler Empire fleet jumped out not wanting to lose any more ships.

---

Reven sighed he wanted to be happy but he couldnt so many of his brothers and sisters were floating lifelessly around the battlefeild, he knew they would be okay but they would never truly recover...
he "talked" to the intervening ship
"Thank you very much, we are indebted to you thank you for helping, they.. they have hunted us for many a cycle for our bodies our minds to fuel their conquest it was only through the combined might of us and the Unbound ones that we managed to cripple them to weaken them but that intern left us shattered, our numbers dimished the unbound ones became bound with us to live... ever since then we have been fleeing from them remnants of the Czermler Empire "

OOC: I fixed your grammar mistakes. I sense you are either young or new to English, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt. But learn from my corrections. Understand that each sentence is a thought. Know that each sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a period. Questions end in ? And exclamations end with ! And if you need more help, pick up a book on English grammar. Got it?

IC:
"I see. Well, it appears we've arrived at the right time." The Captain of the Enterprise replied to the crystal being as the last of the enemy retreated. "Do you require any assistance at this time? A place to settle, perhaps?"
