Fabulous!

So, is there anybody out there who wants to make contact with the resident telepathic clones? Whether you wanna send a ship or receive a ship is fine by me.

@TheSovereignGrave

The Fallen would love to talk to telepathic people. Please collab, I hunger for collabs.

How exactly would that even go? Like, how would they arrive on a Terminus world? And also the Simulacrum tend to live on worlds without atmospheres, so there's that little detail too.

@TheSovereignGrave

The Fallen are unique in that they appear individually in the strangest of places, and don't necessarily need oxygen or, well, pressure to survive. Then they poof again.

[Keyguyperson]

@WrongEndoftheRainbow I'd be interested in meeting the Fallen. Maybe have them drop in on the Chairman?

[Taeryn]

As long as they aint exposing no stealth ships

[WrongEndoftheRainbow]

@Keyguyperson Woo, I'll PM you a link to a google doc to collab with me in, in (english why) the PM I pitched the idea to you in. (so many in)

[MissingAxis]

If anyone wants to talk tot he Romans or EU just drop a ship by.

@duck55223

I may take you up on this soon.

[Arawak]

@TaerynI concur.

Also missingaxis did you get the message I left you yesterday?

[Taeryn]

@TaerynI concur.

@Arawak

Hmm?

Oh right you're doing the not seen thing too, sorry :p.

[Arawak]

Of course I am stealth oriented, I'm the mantid CIA with a pathological hatred of turtles.

Despite being related to mantids, spiders and fairies the Tikali seem to be a lot more egalitarian in regards to dimorphism and don't do the biting heads off thing. Look, my civization that has no qualms in talking about microwaving children alive with radiation beams has some standards okay?

-----------

Also I think a interesting arrangement can be made with the Ouroboros given their Dominion Proximity. It could actually be a interesting flashpoint conflict given the endless civil war the Ouroburos have- maybe the Silent Imperium gets a bit too involved with them?

[Willy Vereb]

@Commodore RobotWell, I don't think my ships are that noticeable but perhaps it can be explained with the Enterprise taking no effort to hide. Although their heat signature isn't that big regardless due to their efficiency of managing it. Still room temperature compared to the temperature of space is a huge difference, I suppose.

Anyways, did the Dominion ever meet humans and learn their language? I assume they don't in which case I used this translator to make it sound alien to my crew:
ookii.org/egs/uryuom
And the result is currently this:
"Uggomgyuem amyujomgyuhyuoja boaisor, yujomgyuhi iealcorh yunnojyuugori el vo hyuloja akem yum usseljumso quyuch Jenyumyuem Mubyutugyuemur Ruqu."

[Arawak]

But that's not Dominion newspeak/standard/whatever it's called, that's Uryuomoco.

Either way, the Silent Imperium's Binding Oath (The one that bound the Tikali into a endless 'war' with the Dominion) in Uryuomoco:

@Willy VerebI work under the presumption no stealth in space as a reality is ignored here. If magic can exist I can make physcists want my head.

@Commodore Robot Permission to have a Tikali craft in the same star system? On the fringes and oblivious to the anti-matter world that I presume is hidden and far closer to the local star It's not a power play thing, I just wanted to do a commentary thing along with introducing a few characters whose importance may grow depending on how the plotting ends up. It'll be a single ship on a fleet watch operation crewed by 3 Tikali- one of which a trainee, the other someone in the wrong op and the last being a hard headed officer who was recently demoted. Not really the cream of the Tikali crop to say the least.

@Arawak

Well, call me racist but for humans that never met aliens the language of one race might as well be the same as the other.
It's a good way to represent how foreign Commodore Robot's alien language is to the Enterprise crew. Also it might not even be the Dominion language just one of the other alien languages the Dominion knows and it's the closest which the Enterprise can get a barely intelligible translation for.

@Arawak

Stealth in space is very much plausible in the soft sci-fi of energy shields and warp drives. My ships are likely capable of it if they try but there had been little reason to do that for a boring exploration mission.

[Willy Vereb]

Posted.
And here we learn why it's a stupid idea to send a space cowboy like Kirk on a first contact mission.

[Legion02]

First post up! Okay who wants to meet a Seer drone!? Or wants to be seen by a Seer Drone....

Honestly, I'd like to jump into the Space Star Federation & the Chelorian Dominion OR meet the Terminus

@Legion02

I'm game, though it'd be awhile before I could get a post up. They take time, and I'm hanging out with my friends today.

But man, the Simulacrum are gonna be horrified by, like, everyone. It seems like half the nations in the RP have no problem butchering innocent civilians.

[Arawak]

The Silent Imperium tends to be selective with their targets (which often are politically, economically or militarily important individuals) unless it involves the Chelonians. Even than there's a bit of distaste for the microwaving children part just because it's so damn messy. Fried turtles just get all over the place when they go sploosh.

There are Tikali even in the Silent Imperium who believe the system of the Dominion is the problem and not the Chelonians in of themselves, though sadly the more 'racist' (speciesism I prefer) idea of the Chelonians simply being evil tends to be more common. It's hard to have empathy for a species you are told horror stories of from birth and aren't even supposed to talk to (not like there's many opportunities for that to begin with).

Like the fact the dominion deals with rebellion by blowing up planets is really outlandish to the Tikali. Even after centuries of watching Dominion activity they still just don't get it and have like, hundreds of different theories for the behavior. Some of them more accurate than others.

[Taeryn]

I mean I'm pretty sure intentionally and extensively using military force against civilian populations is a war crime over here.

But like y'all keep wiping yourselves out its fine.

[Arawak]

The existence of the Chelonians is a war crime.

Though the Asivir are pretty horrible too, sadly the ones at top would rather remain neutral with them while having some eyes and ears on them. (Legion, how would your theocracy react to UFOs in your faction's space?)

@TheSovereignGrave

The Federation frowns at even the mere idea of weapons. Granted, they use "non-weapons" to murder people if needed and pretty much they are gigantic hypocrites.
On the other hand we at least have laws of war and on the surface we try for peace. That's way better than 90% of the factions here.
