[IC] Void of the Stars: A sci-Fi Nation Roleplay

[Sukui]

Right before the huge vessel impacts the shield, however, a bright streak of light penetrates through the Forbidden and strikes Retsukuu, which the other ships have failed to think about and do. The spacecraft returns back to its normal colors before being ultimately destroyed by the impact, exploding in a violent fury that nearly envelops a hemisphere of the spherical shield. Retsukuu is blown off for a moment, before regaining her balance, and smashes her fist into the shield, which looks useless for a moment until the shield begins to crack.

Immortal Caliber
"Prepare releasing beta-test #2194!"

"But Sir Odometus, i find no purpose using the dimensional sphere generator! It's still experimental!"

"No doubts, please!"

Men and women scrambled towards one of the bays, ready to release such a simple contraption that has not been realized to create a massive innovation in the works for ages. The contraption, with still some parts from the attempts at making it expand, was lifted towards the airlock, with telekinetics keeping it in the air. The first door opens, where they release it on the ground before the airlock closes. As the second hatch opens, the device floats off to space, where it is pushed by one small cargo ship towards her.

[darkwolf687]

Watching the cracks form in the shield, the Argutus sighs "I tire of her" He said, raising his hand. His eyes began to glow orange as he did, and a moment later a kinetic force hit against Retsukuu, trying to knock her backwards from the shield. He hoped that a force roughly equivalent of that required to move a truck at fourty miles per hour suddenly acting upon her would be enough to unbalance the forces acting upon her and thus send her hurtling backwarss. "Once this minor inconvenience is dealt with we can finish this up" He scowled as he said that, then used another force upon her, trying to force her towards the approaching cargo ship. He turned his head towards the Makudan "Next time you build a super weapon, would you kindly add a kill switch in case if goes like this one?"

[Sukui]

Retsukuu, although feeling the force push against her, resisted with even a small fraction of her strength as she begins to smash open a hole in the shield. As the cargo ship moves closer in range, it fires the device through its pressure shot bay. Seemingly not noticing the octahedral contraption slowly moving towards her, she continues to widen the shield's hole, but not before the device activates and creates a dimensional sphere that traps her inside the unknown-natured universe of the ball. Maybe...

But again, only seemingly did she notice.

Vanishing just right before it activates, she reappears next to a pilot in a small, single-crew ship, and secretly hijacks it. The ship heads off somewhere...

As the Triarian spoke out, the Supreme Admiral simply responded: "We immediately regret this decision."

[null123]

With Retsukuu's failure to penetrate Faust's shield Faust heads back down to the diplomats. The Equestrians are still in a dream like state however.
"She will hide, but I will find her eventually. As for your questions regarding my origins I am unsure. For a majority of my life and when I came into being I was in a state of sleep. When I awoke I assisted certain civilizations and help them achieve goals. One of those Civilizations was the Aetherii." said Faust.

[Sukui]

"That's a good hundred trillion credits and a lifetime's worth of work down the fiery hole, all used only for the purpose of a traitor's intention of making a moon become a giant space wrecking ball, and interrupting a meeting that would have still went on anyways."
Idera commented on the complete destruction of the Forbidden, noting that all the actions made in the vessel's short lifetime had all been in vain.

She herself have been a longtime friend of Odometus, back from childhood as neighbors within the upper-class districts of the Capital. From the days both of them were inducted into the Aeternal Council, it has been a rare sight to see them without the two being together. Some even had suspicions of an already developing personal relationship inbetween, but the truth was that not even once have they thought of each other as a possible mate. Both of them laughed at that fact, mostly because they had little plans to live with even other people... yet. While she has shown to be lazy in normal situations, she is fairly insightful in all occasions and, just like Odometus, has a sense of serious action in the midst of crisis without keeping her humor shut.

Cut to the scene of disaster. Heping jejue - or something like that, continued to plunge towards its sun as it finally gives in to its gravity. Without proper action soon, the planet may soon become an arid desert. Any further and it's a dead piece of molten rock. More would make it become nothing but ionized matter within the solar corona. Something had to be definitely done to stop it from going in deeper, but luckily it would take an entire week before the effects become noticeable, and another week more before everything goes up in flames. There was another copy of the Forbidden's telekinetic amplifier within the Immortal Caliber, and if the proper math could be applied, may restore the planet back in orbit. This was supposed to be quite easy, but because that amplifier only gave a nudge even with skilled telekinetics and not really a move like Retsukuu did, the force would be too weak to even stop the acceleration of the planet, so everything was left for Faust.

"Give it a nudge, boys and girls. That'll make the job easier for that person down there." Odometus commanded throughout the dorm speakers. Another round of scrambling went through, and made the planet move enough to slow down-- but not go back into orbit.

"This is all getting worse. The 'big brother' of our Council's head snapped, the 'big sis' was actually a big diss after all, and everything's left to Faust now. We need two for this Aeternal Council soon."

[Keyguyperson]

Peace Talks
The humans of the group got word of the hrorrific problem via neural transmitter. Dmitri shocked, but Fergus and Emily gave annoyed sighs instead of the open-mouthed expression worn by Dmitri.
"Not another problem!" Exclaimed Emily "Gah, have the tractatori do something about it!"
"With the tractatori we have in range, all we can do is give the planet a nudge." Said the Dolphin, more trained in logistics than the rest.
"Then we'll have them do that." Said Fergus. He sent a message ordring the tractatori to speed up the planet. Seconds later, the whole world noticable hopped to the side and sped up, carrying the orbitals and ships with it.

"Okay... we're still completely screwed." Said the Empress "We just have a few more days before the plantet hits the corona. Sure, we have a few stations there, but they have specially designed shields. The shields on this planet are only for defense against weapons and physical impacts."

Sazkarjhia Colonization Fleet 004: Fleetmaster Sayar Tin'yum

The old sailor looked ahead of the view screen aboard the Marku-Class Red Breeze, watching in the endless expanse of space as the fleet lazily drifted in orbit above Trimubelo III. The yellowish-colored planet had been his home for the last 10-15 years, ever since he first spotted it for SCF 003. It was a simpler time, before Sazkarjhit involvement in intergalactic fairs was heavy, and war wasn't on the horizon. When he was just a Naval Marshal captaining his frigate, the Shadow of Mazdabar, and looking for a planet to settle.

Things were different, times have changed.

His communications officer reported that she had received orders from SCNOSE High Command, she printed them and brought them to Fleetmaster Tin'yum, who scrutinized them before handing them back.

"Order all ships to mobilize on that vector and set distance. Make sure that the colony ships and civilian ships stay towards the center of the fleet. They're the most important and if we run into pirates we have to protect them at all costs. Load all cannons and prepare for an engagement just in case. And make sure that countermeasures are armed." Sayar ordered.

"Aye, sir." the young communications officer replied.

Tin'yum turned to his head engineer. "Raise engine output to 105% and arm the Translight for an FTL jump."

"Aye, sir." he replied gruffly.

The fleetmaster sat inside of his chair, buckling in as the Translight Outersystem Engine roared to life. Blue tunnels of light formed around the ship, and they flung forward.

[null123]

Peace Talks
Faust once again jumped into the black void. She slowed down the Forbidden, and teleported it far away, somewhere in the deep black void. The next step was simple, she could move entire universes if she willed it, it was nothing to move a planet back into its proper orbit. After the correct adjustments the planet was realigned, with a few of the inhabitants suffering a bit of nausea. Faust appeared back before the diplomats.
"Simple really, although I have no clear where Restuuku dissappeared to, likely off to hide." said Faust.
The Citadel
The construction of the massive station thats was to head the Pact's Governance, Military, and Research departments was finally completed. With it being finished the following nations have been invited to open embassies on the Government Wing of the station, lodging would be provided from the two civilian wings.
-AIF
-Zonasese Powers
-Makudan
-Triarian Collective

[darkwolf687]

Peace talks

"If I convinced my superiors she was worth the trouble, finding her would be easy. Convincing is not so easy" The Argutus said with a small smile "My hurriedly compiled profile suggests otherwise, Faust. She does not seem the one to hide. With the power to destabilize a planet passing through her tissues, all thrust into the hands of a being who had not known such power... The changes to her psyche must have been traumatic... Given that, she didn't hide nor flee, that would imply she was afraid, but I theorise instead that she is too deluded to be afraid. I hit her with enough force to cut the cords of the vast majority of organic beings and she survived, but she is still flesh and bone. I think she went to repair herself rather than out of fear. Regardless of injury, she survived what equates to several tonnes hitting her at 40 of the humans miles per hour, that is not a good omen. Should I face her again, I shall attempt to apply an outwards force from the center of her body..."

Embassy

"Attention please. For the safety of Collective personal and the safety of exogen species on Equiis Pact Command Structure identified as Citadel, the Collective declines until such a time the issues of concern are no longer relevant"

[Keyguyperson]

Peace Talks
"Nobody can evade us after an injection of nanobots." Said Dmitri "This will be easy, we activate the tracking mechanism, then we toy with her cells and organs. Take away some of her powers that way, make her sick, then send a task force of starships and troops to her location. Of course, she did just de-orbit the planet, so this could be a lot more complicated than we thought. With the seeders in our borders, we cannot commit more than three heavy cruisers and a battalion of marines. This will have to be a joint effort if we are to end the threat."
The Empress shuddered, and turned to Dmitri. Just after opening her mouth, she decided that now was a bad time and returned to her normal position. She did, however, redirect half a million Abh warships each to Nova Sicily, Neu Grenze, Tsugi no bōken, Gelegenheid van de Eeuw, and Maria, along with putting in a request with the Dolphin military to move an equal number of ships to the same systems.

Seeder Threat
50 million warships have been redirected to the systems next to the Seeder border, and 10 million more are expected to arrive from Homefront Defense militias all around the Federation. Warp missiles have been fired at the enemy fleets and planets, some of them carrying dark energy payloads. The citizens of the planets have begun destroying anything they can get their hands on, indiscriminately detonating Federation constructions as fast as possible. Some people are attempting to get a hold on Seeder genetic material and send it back to the rest of the AIF, in an effort to find a way to kill the spores or create their own to counteract the terraforming process. With new probe images from the "hub" of the Seeder operations, the Federation has begun taking the Seeders more seriously and is taking action to get the upper hand.

Military Expansion/Research
The AIF has begun producing starships at the highest rate it can, and is cloning crews for them. Of course, housing is also being constructed in the event that a defect with the encoding process occurs and a clone does not wish to become a member of the military. Research has also begun on more sophisticated shielding and point defense technologies, to defend against the Seeder mines, as they tend to overwhelm the point defense systems of AIF starships. The Abh in particular have taken an interest in point defense, and have begun producing a new ship class entirely dedicated to it.

Yuanon Project
The first successful journey through Fath has been completed! Using an altered form of the warp drive specially designed for 2-dimensional operation, the ship has made it from the Milky Way to Draconian Front 15 in a singe day, outpacing even Quantum gates! What's more, no tracking devices could uncover its path due to it being in another universe during transit. The specs for the warp drive alteration, along with the locations of the different gateways (Known as Sords), have been sent to all ships using communication vessels. All transit within the Federation is planned to switch to this new system within a few months!

Embassy
The AIF has accepted the offer, and has begun transport of diplomats. Construction workers have also been sent, to build the embassy to represent all the cultures of the Federation. Needless to say, the embassy is going to end up being really big as a result.

[null123]

Research
With reports from spies that the AIF has developed a extremely fast FTL system, research has begun on how to use the final magical dimension for FTL, as the two prior tiers of the magical dimensions had been. If to be successfully developed, the drives would have comparable speeds to that of the Yuanon Drives.

Project Reality Breakers:Notes 07
"We have finally done it, has taken us a while but we finally have done it. We successfully injected Dark Energy into a being and said being lives and can use powers that can literally bend physics and reality. These powers are minor but with this breakthrough we believe we are on the right track. There is a issue that a limited number of subjects can survive the process but those who can will likely join up, with the rising sense of nationalism and all."
Military
Not wanting to be left behind by the AIF the Equestrians and Pact militaries have also begun expanding quite a lot. They have also begun preparations and have informed the AIF of plans to assist with the seeder invasion. While they don't believe them to be a big threat if they are not contained they will likely become a super huge threat. Pact forces are currently on route to those colonies under attack.
Embassy
The Pact diplomats already at the Citadel have stated that they make as big as they need, they have plenty of room on the citadel afterall.

[Sukui]

Peace Talks
With the planet now in safety, Gvasty now took his time to make an announcement.

"And now... after this.." He took a slight sob for a moment, then continued. "sequence of mishaps and tragedies, it is now safe to say that the Makudan has officially retracted their way of expansion by conquest, and has turned to the way of peaceful growth and advancement. The Makudan also will now recognize the Triarian and the Equestrian civilizations as nations, and is thus allowed to conduct peaceful procedures such as trade, tourism, immigration, and others of such."

Embassy
The Makudan has accepted the offer for the Embassy, and will send over construction ships and drones as soon as all the financial documents has been arranged and all the necessities reworked.

[darkwolf687]

Collective expansion

The Collective feels comfortable that its military and size are large enough that it is comfortably ahead of the other two, and so continues at the standard rate

Mars

The Umbrae Populus checked nobody was watching, before opening the filing cabinet. He went through the files before he found the right one, the human two dimensional drive. Once he located the algorithm for the dimension they were cutting into. After that they would be able to intercept ships using that dimension.

Research

Not to be outdone, the Collective has began pouring resources into research for their standard drives, hoping to ensure their now threatened speed advantage is resecured and cemented
Amd perhaps not surprising given the increasing human reliance on cloning, the Collective has put a new project into effect that would turn this against them in case of war
They have also begun picking counters for the Equiis pact races

Peace Talks

"All forms of immigration and emigration denied. Tourism to and from denied. The majority of such ideals are dangerous to security" The Argutus said and turned to the human "Once she is found I will deploy of some Equitem and members of the specific Deuscidium branch to assist

[null123]

Research
To counter the Triarians counters the Pact is developing counters to the Triarians there client races and there synths. While the Triarians may be able to develop counters to some Pact races they won't be able to do so to a few as they haven't encountered them. They will also not be able to develop a effective counter to magic.

[TehAlphaGamer]

Equiis, Equiis Pact Space

SCF 004 dropped out of warp as it slowed towards the Equestrian homeworld.

"Why are we exiting warp?" the communications officer, as well as several other ship commanders, asked over intercom. Fleetmaster Tin'yum strode over to the microphone and reported, "We are stopping near Equiis for refueling and restocking. I also want to ask about catching up with recent intergalactic events, as well as asking for Pact support."

Silence, mostly in agreement, washed over the channel. Once the planet loomed into view, Sayar changed channels and sent a message.

This is Fleetmaster Sayar Tin'yum, commanding officer of Sazkarjhia Colonization Fleet 004. We are requesting to land on your planet, or at a station, for refueling and restocking. I myself wish to bring my cruiser down, I wish to speak with someone to inquire recent intergalactic activity and to ask a question regarding the Equiis Pact."

[null123]

Equiis
"We have arranged for docking at a refueling center on the moon, along with a diplomat being sent there now. Normally we charge but we doubt you have money so we will just bill your government we get the chance."

[Keyguyperson]

Peace Talks
"The Federation is always happy to allow immigration, emigration, and tourism between us and other nations." Said Dmitri, who then turned to the Triarian. "Understood, we will alert you the moment she is located."

Seeder Threat
The militia forces have arrived, and the AIF fleet has begun deeper scans of the enemy territory. They have found that they have far more ships than once thought, and everyone remembers what they did to the 1st fleet. As a result, the government has doubled the allocated ships and sent out a plea for civilian assistance, asking that any willing ship report to the front lines to be hastily refit for battle. Millions of passenger liners have voluntarily warped to the staging ground, after dropping off their passengers at the nearest transfer point. Incredibly, some of the passengers have stayed onboard to help in the fight.

Military Expansion
The Abh have completed construction of the prototype point-defense cruiser, and testing has shown it is highly effective against small targets such as fighters and missiles, along with slightly larger craft such as frigates. The Dolphins have also begun construction of a new class of warship, which is essentially just a huge shield projector with weapons tacked on. Hundreds of these ships will be deployed in large fleets, providing extremely effective plasma-based and laser-based shielding for whole fleets.

Alien Contact
One of the new species has been accepted into the Federation, but a discovery on their origins has been made. When the diplomats were shown a map of Sol, they recognized it immediately as their home system, with one of them asking "Where's the third one?", obviously referring to Earth. When the incident occurred, the AIF requested their genetic codes. They share dozens of genetic markers with the Terran species, and theoretical historians have found records of early papers on similar creatures dying off before the wheel. They have been declared a Terran species, and the name "Boskop" has been given to them instead of the fifty syllable name they had themselves, the excuse is that "Boskop" was the name given to them by the man that first theorized their existence.

[darkwolf687]

Argutus institution

"Yes, it was laughable once we realised it."
"How so
"The answer was obvious. Magic still obeys the laws of conservation, energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transferred. By utilising standard methods of energy transfer I was able to stop magical attacks... Watch" The Argutus pressed several buttons on a terminal, and a section of the wall became transparent to reveal a Selkath and a Triarian.
The Selkath spun, and launched a fireball at the Triarian, but it dissipated before it reached him. The Selkath launched a wave of water at the Triarian, but it turned to steam in the air. Then the Selkath launched a blast of pure magical energy, but it dissipated before reaching with a loud crackle
"Haha, he turned it to sound energy didn't he? Excellent"
The Selkath continued to run through magical spells, and the Triarian kept transferring them into different forms of energy. Finally, the Triarii's eyes intensified and the Selkath fell to his knees, before slowly raising and beginning to dance as the Triarian took over his mind. The two Argutus gave a small, amused smile, and the test ended
"I was wondering when we would finally produce a way to stop their magic. And the humans?"
"We rely on their lack of variation, the idea is to simply introduce a disease to their population and allow it to destroy their clones."
"I thought biological weapons were banned?"
"The universal law was never ratified, Retsukuu saw to that"
"I see..."

[Keyguyperson]

Shuroh, SISA Andal Provektkrei Av
The final elevator to the massive craft came into the bridge, it's doors opening to reveal the command crew. The other crewmembers walked around the room, some in an almost dreamlike state from the excitement. Just a few years ago, they had been using steam power to travel between continents in a few weeks, now they were about to travel between the galaxies in what was expected to be an instant with an engine that works off of what was once a crazy fringe theory. Front and center in the new group was Lahnha Latayn, someone whose entire species considered a genius. She had been picked to captain the mission, due to apparently inventing everything that made it possible. She had also suggested that the exploratory crew consist of scientist and the best soldiers, saying that it was possible that hostile life could be contacted. Everyone immediately agreed, as there was no doubt in their minds that Lahnha could possibly be wrong.
"Captain, final prep is complete. The negative mass is in position for wormhole generation. All military personnel and civilians are secured in the acceleration tractors. We're waiting for your command to cast off." Said T'Vaklian Yepar, head of the ship's engineering crew.
"Perfect! Activate bridge acceleration tractors Mr. Yepar! Miss Entayta, engage neural link!"
"Acceleration tractors engaged Captain!" Called out Yepar, and the blue glow of the tractors latched on to the crew on the bridge, who had to remain outside acceleration chambers to operate the ship.
"Neural link engaged!" Said Entayta, and the crew found that they could control the tractors, allowing them to move around the bridge.
"Initiate wormjump!"
The ship lurched as the sublight M/AM drive lit up, propelling it forward at 1g of acceleration. The crew was held in place by the tractor beams, which relieved the fears of everyone slamming against the wall at relativistic speeds. A wormhole appeared in front of the ship, a brilliant cloud of blue that engulfed the ship.

Two minutes later, in Equestrian space, a Federation-style wormhole opened. A huge starship came through, bristling with sensor arrays and primitive landing craft. The acceleration tractors on the bridge were deactivated, and the crew began trying to get a visual of the planet that they had just entered orbit above. The moment the sensors officer got a visual, his mouth dropped right open and he screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Akatii! Akatii! Ei Ophr Tleir! Tleir Inhav!" Translated, his words meant "Contact! Contact! There are lights! City lights!"
The rest of the bridge crew rushed towards his monitor as fast as they could, and he put it on the main screen for the rest to see.
"Comms! Open a channel, send a translation matrix for reference!"
The comms officer activated Lahnha's mic, which she was wearing on her head, and sent the translation matrix as ordered. The office nodded to Lahnha, telling her to begin.
"This is Captain Lahnha of the Shuroh International Space Agency, currently commanding the Starship Andal Provektkrei Av." As she was speaking, Lahnha headed for the nearest landing shuttle. After she had left the bridge, she continued. "This is our first contact with an alien species I can actually talk about without being out into an asylum, and I wish to meet with you face to face. I can feel your magical energy, it is different from ours, and it seems... fainter almost. No matter, I have come to search for someone who asked for my help. He called his species human, and his name was Fergus McClain. I first contacted him by accident while trying to speak to my best friend after they moved away. Somehow, I ended up speaking to Fergus instead. After that first conversation, he told me I had saved his species from extinction. Turns out he was about to kill his entire species, including himself. He recently told me to preserve the memory of his species, as he expected his people to destroy themselves over beliefs. His nation is the Earth Alliance, and his species human. Have you contacted them?"

Alien Contact
The other species (Called the Ethra'Hirel) has joined the Federation as well, and they too appear to be a Terran species as well! Apparently the Boskops took an interest in them for the evacuation effort, realizing that these reptilians were on the verge of evolving sentience. Turns out all they needed was a way for the mutations allowing conscious thought to stay alive throughout the generations, as most of the mutations also involved decreased law strength. Being on a Boskop spacecraft was what allowed that. The Ethra'Hirel appear to be quite militaristic, but only to protect themselves and their allies. They have been referred to by the Boskops as "Extremely loyal" and "More Noble than any other".

[TehAlphaGamer]

Equiis Station
The fleet drifted over to the refueling stations, and idled next to one another while each one had new nuclear cores installed. The rest of them that were fine docked on the station; temporary leave for the sailors while every ship would be refueled--a process that would take several hours for each ship. Red Breeze maneuvered to one of the larger docks, descending slowly towards its surface and retracting its keel-mounted sail until only a small part of it jutted from the craft's underside. A series of holes opened up, and the cruiser's retro-rockets fired, slowing its trajectory as six pedestal-like landing implements fired rockets. This continued Red Breeze reached one of the access terminals, where it hit the surface and opened hatches to connect to them.
