I was told they'd infested the atlantic so i figured it was the entire atlantic. Also, if it's a ripper that far out they're most likely feral and not amongst the swarm so they honetly wouldn't know. there's also the issue of genestealers but that's a whole nother can of 'nids

I forget if i said it or not, but there are actually remnants of half-completed avianry buildings left in japan that kinda formed together and burrowed underground, and tyranid study is actually as simple as fishing... literally... just sit out on a dock over the atlantic with big enough bait and you'll probably catch a ripper or something.

HCL V: insert witty title here

@Letter Bee

Fine by me, i've kinda left somewhat so mons're good to change hands once more

To add to matt's point, study of the Acianry (xel'rath's faction) is actually surprisingly difficult due to their physical structre causing mild disintegration upon contact with matter as well as most of them being able to eat most forms of communication (radio wave emissions, deep space hailing, etc.) so scanning is pointless...

@thewizardguy

First off, the avianry actually have a greater rate of disintegration than xel'rath, as a base they're an improvement of xel'rath in most fields with the distinct difference being that they have far lesser control over energy without tools (hence why they actually need 'guns' to fire pewpew beams of doom rather than just spewing them out like xel'rath) however, their main weakness currently is that every single Avianry has a 'cap' on how much energy they can store within them at one time, making it actually viable to simply overload them.

Secondly, before you bitch at the fortress not giving a fuck about your storms and monsters, keep in mind that every brick of said fortress has similar qualities as the avianry themselves however are vastly decreased for the most part in terms of individual use, however, there's ALOT of bricks there and a storm isn't even going to put the energy core over a 1% charge increase. This thing is built to tank sustained fire from WMD's HENCE WHY I'M NOT MAKING ANOTHER ONE.

Part of the reason i gave xel'rath an adversion to expanding was to, frankly, balance him because he can get blantantly overpowered if he was smart and just kind of rolled over the planet the right way.

EDIT: there's also an issue that if i didn't make his faction this potent from the get-go i was worried someone would just nuke it to death. I still don't trust people to not meta game after all the times I've tried doing something sneaky that no one should know about, and then they learn about it ooc, and their characters come to cluster fuck it to death (matt might know what I'm talking about from our experience in other rps)

While Alucard's storms and monsters were cute they proved little match to the type of material xel'rath's fortress was made up of, the typhoon seemed to be swallowed up more so than battering against the fortress along with any creature attempting to board it as though it had stepped into a black hole. The mark of invitation, however, was not missed so The great, towering hulk of a flying landmass still puttered along it's course while xel'rath parted from the fortress to see what sort of creature would take the time to summon a city-leveling storm just as a mark of invitation. Upon arrival xel'rath's presence provided a mix of comfort and fear as Alucard's supernatural aura was automatically devoured whenever coming near the creature of (ironically) light. It's voice was like any other to xel'rath, simply a voice charged with energy which was like snack cakes to the surprisingly short bird-man-thing when compared to Nim which towered over his surroundings. "I was simply drifting through the cosmos and happened upon this planet. It holds many different forms of living being that i was keen to study, however something more interesting has come to mind, in these creations here so i'm taking some time to divulge in my want for creation rather than destruction, and what brings you here creature? I'm assuming that one such as yourself could entertain it's fleeting existance by building an empire much like these 'goa'uld' did, or is there a reason you've decided to destroy this one in particular?" Xel'rath asks with a casual tone, Alucard's normal intimidation lost on the creature before him as much as his power over it as he could feel himself being sucked into it the more his aura lingered over it, weakening him simply via nature of his being even if it was obviously non-hostile at the moment.

If it's an energy based attack, it is completely useless. Also, your forcefields are useless against the obliteration cannons

Multiverse Rising: Reborn

@Flamelord

Just going to let you think on the weaponry that could earn the label "matter obliteration cannon" and also think on what that would do to most attacking forces

Multiverse Rising: Reborn

@Flamelord

sorry. i mostly picked japan cause i figured all the land was taken, but turns out hawaii wasn't... so i wanted to move... i talked about it with matt in a private chat an he oked it

Multiverse Rising: Reborn

HOLY SHIT MY INTERNET'S BEEN HATING ME THIS WEEKEND

@Flamelord@thewizardguy

Nim couldn't help but enjoy the fact that the creature before him was essentially attempting to bargain for land that was no it's own, but his retort was cut short by a packet burst of information striking him. "it appears this land was deemed unsatisfactory to the creator." Nim states, simply walking away and completely ignoring the creatures now that they were no longer necessary to be interacted with. It took roughly five minutes for him to return and the fortress launch procedures to commence, a great palace of light rising into the sky before slowly hovering over the Atlantic, headed away from japan and towards another island chain in a much more advantageous position; Hawaii. This passing, of course left remnants of the fortress in the soil which burrowed deep so as to continue to monitor the island, the goa'uld slowly regaining communication with the away squad that was left completely ignored by the creature they'd been sent to apprehend.

A while later, Alucard finds himself rather suddenly sensing an intruder in his space... or more correctly, he sensed the lack of anything in a swathe of land in his space which was rather disconcerting and slightly pants browning i'm sure.
