[ooc] Will be making new ship tonight after classes [/ooc]

[flapjack]

*flapjack watches as his helm officer carefully flew the ships into orbit, small repair ships and repair teams quickly crawling all over the ship and fixing the damages. Tough it costed him 15000cr these repairs would certainly be needed, in addition he had sent his orders to the shipyard for the construction of a new ship, the fleet carrier "Empty skies"*


good, that means 130,000cr+85,000cr+85,000cr-15,000cr=285,000cr for me, without the mission bonus of at least 65,000cr. If we can buy new ships here, i'll buy:

10 turrent mounts (all used)
24 external mounts (16 used)
24 additional mounts (11 used, 6 shield mounts, 6 external mounts)

OK.
I was kinda waiting to be DMed though and then probably return to Ankaa to spend some credits. When will I get my 95K for a job well done? A lot of mission rewards include "+bonus if..." so what do we have to do for that, and, err, am I entitled to that bonus?

I was thinking of doing the federation mission (post #669) and then I'll probably be heading for the 2nd system.
If AK wants me along on his next mission, just let him say the word and shower me with gold, for Bogg isn't the shiny medal type of guy.

(AK, if you want the help of my cruiser and that of my yet to build ships, just make me an offer I can't refuse. )

Tempting. Very tempting. Since you don't seem to have any money, how about "raw materials" or a position of power perhaps? :gollum:

Cid: Helm, set a course to the first system, we'll clear that area out first.
Helm: Yes, Commander
No1: Sir, do you think we need support?
Cid: We may do, Kosaga... but we have hardly any raw materials and hardly any credits left. What am I going to offer Captain Bogg in order for his help?
No1: We could persuade him with a position of power

*Cid, at this point, was drinking a cup of coffee, which was now being splurted onto the veiwscreen in front of him.*

Cid: What? Give him power? Ye gods, man, get some sense into you! I would prefer to go it alone than offer power to a pirate. No, our other solution is to offer troops... but you know Shraanian troopers, they are not nice to leaders that are not from our worlds.
No1: So what shall we do with Bogg, sir?
Cid: He has done his part, he has got what he wanted, let him be for now. However, we'll keep in touch with him ready for when we do need his help, as I beleive we have earned each other's trust for the time being. Send him a message saying we may contact him in the future for support.
Comms: Yes, sir!

[ooc] I know this post is lacking... but i'm currently working on a starcraft Fan fic and RPing eats into my writing time. [/ooc]

*Wo2 ship was hit hard and his sister ship quickly moves to cover them. leanig the Sci vessles open.*

Wo2: "Damn that hurt... Damage report?"

EO: 'Not as bad as it could have been. Our extra power to shields held mosty, the Nil'Numeruone has moved in to block and line of attack."

Wo2: "Were still ok. Tell them to get back to sci vessels NOW."

Wo2: "Good, keep me updated. Now then, WO get me targeting soultions on the Sensor systems of that beast and realy them to the Nil'Numeruone, have them fire with all there weapons at that spot. SO link our SATs with his targets. Were gonna poke this beast in the eye.

I'll be writing my (additional) reply tonight, after I get back.

[Fluffie]

and i can't reply untill lady hawk gives me a reply to that email....

[Bakan]

/me wants to reply badly, but can't until the mighty and kind and benevolant Lady Hawk DM's him, thus he can finish his missions, earn money, spend it on better ships, beat more missions, earn more money, buy better ships with Harem's built in, save my planet, kick ass, chew bubblegum, and stand over the graves of my enemies and urinate on them, beat more missions, show everyone who is the boss.......... *Goes into random rambling...*

[flapjack]

hmm, bakan, we could just assume that, since 2 days have passed, we've both been fixed and our ships approved, if our ships would then not be approved, well, that's a simple edit i suppose and that way we can at least be at the planet and possibly even deploying marines ASAP

you and pk have mana complete your 1st mission (with some excelent posting from pk i may add )

you are now back at HARKUN where you are refitting and refuling your ships. ready to begin the mission to get GAR AI - Sar ai's son anf your life long friend - see prev posts

I probably can't sign up for any mission until I return to Ankaa, but if there won't be any other missions, I'd probably take the Federation one. I'm not sure what Mormon cruiser or King frigates do, but I'm pretty sure I'll like them better than a Fluffguard commandcarrier with 6 Kama attack destroyers.

there will be other missions as and when i see fit :gollum:

[Fluffie]

Nothing comes though, the Captain gets a hold on himself quite easily... Seeing the man he just woke up is obviously waiting for a reason for this disturbance, Solo quickly throws a swift and slightly mocking (both Solo and Fluffie didn't feel the need for salutes...) salute, before speaking.

(Solo: ) "Sir, we have a new mission. We are to stop a convoy with a new type of fuel from reaching... TAU CETI..."

(Fluff: ) "Tau Ceti... Crap... Better make this fast before they get too close... You have a plan?"

(Solo, shaking his head: ) "Nope, not at all."

(Fluff, probably having one of the few bright moments mankind has when they wake up: ) "No problem, I do. Prepare the entire fleet for immidiate launch. Quickly aqcuire us some...... KIPIRE uniforms and a nerve-gas that kills very, very swiftly."

(Solo, one eyebrow raised: ) "Nerve...gas? Isn't that a bit too..."

(Fluff, his face turning slightly agitated: ) "Just do it! And get our SO to plot a course that will intercept them, preferably somewhere in deep space, far away from anyone."

(Solo, raising his shoulders ever so slightly and then shrugging: ) "Whatever you say, Captain."

And with that, the No1 quickly dashes off. The Captain quickly gets dressed, hearing the "wake up ye sleeping bastards!" alarm sound as he struggles with the belt on his trousers. Realising something, he makes his way to the wall, pressing a button - opening an intercomm link to the bridge.

(Fluff: ) "EO, you there?"

(EO, after a few seconds: ) "Aye Sir. Good morning. What can I do for ye?"

(Fluffie: ) "I want you to make our ships look like KIPIRE ships, preferably Iosi ones if you can do that. You don't have much time, but get working on it..."

(EO, although unseen by Fluffie nods, already guessing that the Captain planned another wicked plan: ) "Understood."


- Some time later, Fluffie is fully dressed and has just entered the COMMAND BRIDGE of the BEBOP - his own FTL Scout somewhere in the big Battlecarrier's hangars... -


"Good morning lads, status report?"

EO: Sir, we're about finished to go - just waiting for Mr. Solo to come back with his... erh... groceries, sir. Our repaint shouldn't take much longer either, sir.

SO (not really paying much attention to what he says, as he is working furiously, along with the Helm, on the course to intercept the FEDERATION convoy): Working on the course, shouldn't be long.. I think..

Comms: Ships reporting nearly done - they are just like us waiting for their Engineering to finish the disguise...

"Very well. EO, get some men working to rig our communications array to jam other ships' signals, we'll need that later."

EO: I'll put some lads on it, no sweat Captain.

Fluffie nods and sits down in the big, comfortable leather Captain's chair, somewhere in the centre of the bridge. Looking around, he sees his crew preparing for an ambush they do not yet know the details of... But he would give them the details soon enough. He just needed his No1 to return with the 'groceries'.

Just as he thought about him, Mr Solo re-appeared on the bridge. Nodding to Fluffie, Solo smiled.

Solo: Got it all sir, we're about to finish loading the uniforms and the gas is already secured in the ARMOURY.

"Nicely done... Now, Helm as soon as you're done with our course, have Comms inform the rest of our fleet... Then we'll jump out. Now... Let me outline the plan..."


--- Some time passes as Fluffie tells them the plan, just like in the e-mail. Everyone is getting in their uniform if needed and other preperations are made... ---


Well, the ships jump out... If everything goes right... And to know that, how about some DM-ing miss Hawk?

WC: "Captain. Nial squadrons report three impulse drives destroyed."

*At that moment, the view of the concordat was lit up, as three explosions ripped through its port side. They died away almost immeditly, and the concordat started turning, slowly, before regaining its stability from the explosions.*

Doc: "Sir. The medlabs are full! What the hell are you doing up there?"

*Crazy frowned at this bit of news and quickly checked the causalties*

"The med bays are full from 75 causalties? On a ship with over 3000 personal on board, you don't have enough room in the medbays for 75 dead and wounded? Damn. I'll have to shout at someone for that bit of overlooking. All right Doc. Use the flight bays. But make sure you have the wounded moved out before the fighters come home"

*Crazy shook his head as he turned back towards the fight. The concordat opened fire once again, this time the brunt of the attack was at the other Captain's ships, which he had positioned between the carrier and the chrono ship. Brave, but an overal foolish act*

"Helm. Make sure you keep us out of weapons range of that concordat, for the momet at least. WC, all fighters are to continue as is. That concordat surely won't last much longer (or so I hope)"

*Menwhile, over the surface of the concordat, the fighter squadrons continued to fly. Thier weapos fire filled space, as they once again turned from their attack runs, pounding at the concordat. The six nial squadrons once again targeted the concordat's engines. Their heavy neutron cannons blasting away at the ships armour and engines. Huge chunkcs of metal were ripped out of the ship as more engines gave way to the onslaught on the heavy fighters. Explosions from their attack lit them up as they streaked past the concordat, splitting up and evading any return fire from their target. As the Nials pounded at the concordat's engines, the seven jupiter squadrons opened up on the concordat's weapons with their photon cannons, plasma pulse devices, 2 phaser X's, and fusion bombs. Explosions danced across the hull of the concordat as the fighters let rip, and as the beast took punishment from the swarm of bees stinging it. The gunboats and runabouts joined the Jupiters, charging in as they broke off. The 4 Phaser G's, 2 Light disruptors and 4 Quantum torpedo's from the Gunboats were followed by 2 Phaser G's, 2 Light ion cannons, 2 Photon Cannons and 2 Photon torpedo's from the runabouts. The orange beams of the phasers slammed into the concordat's shields, while the green blasts from the disruptors and blue blasts from the ion cannons punched through the hole made by the phasers. The torpedo's followed next, slammed into the ships hull, smashing out some of the ships guns, and causing explosions to lite up the sky.*

“Signal sent to Aishlin’s ship, ma’am.” The Communications officer reported a few moments after Kali motioned for him to cut the channel.

“Incoming torpedoes!” The Sensors Officer warned, bracing himself against his console. The rest of the bridge crew momentarily followed suit, except Kali, whose image simply sat in the captain’s chair, arms crossed. Although her holographic “body” was at rest, Kali’s mind was going at lightspeed as she analyzed the incoming projectiles, their angle of approach, and various courses of action that she could take to minimize the damage to her real body, such as it was for a ship’s AI. In the course of a few seconds, she managed to narrow the choices from several thousands down to a mere handful, however, she required more information before making her final choice.

Weapons Officer, is the Pulse Phaser recharged yet? Kali asked, quickly firing the question out at the still-chastised Weapons Officer via the Mind Link.

“No ma’am.” Came the equally fast reply, and three of Kali’s options immediately were discarded. This still left a dozen too many, and once again Kali was forced to search for additional information as the torpedoes continued to close to near detonation range.

Flight Commander, are any of your satellites re-armed yet?

“No ma’am. The Blasters and Decoys are still recharging, and the Flyswatters and Hammers are still reloading. Even if they were ready to fire again, I don’t think my pilots could maneuver their satellites into position quickly enough to stop any more of those torps. You’re on your own.”

Fine. Once again, it’s up to me to save your filthy ape hides.

Her options narrowed down to only two, Kali debated each one’s merits and disadvantages for several milliseconds, and then gave the equivalent of a digital shrug and flipped a coin. With the Guardian’s incoming quantum torpedoes only a few seconds away, the shields of the Kronos suddenly flickered out. A moment later, the shields flared back to life, however, they reappeared only on the port side of the Kronos.

Momentarily seizing control of the helm from the Helmsman, Kali swung the ship around so that its port side was directly facing the incoming flock of quantum torpedoes. Normally, the ship’s power was distributed amongst several shield generators, each charged with protecting a section of the ship. Now, the entire power meant for all of the shields generators was flowing into the port shield generator only. The greatly overcharged port shields easily weathered the storm of destructive energy as the surviving quantum torpedoes fired by the Guardian plowed into them and detonated. None of the Kronos’s shield generators could function with that much power flowing through them for long, but Kali intimately knew every part that was a part of her, and just how much stress it could take. Less than a second after the quantum torpedoes detonated, the shields of the Kronos faded again, just before the port shield generator would have overloaded.

Doing a quick systems check of herself, Kali noted with satisfaction that none of the torpedoes’ energy had managed to penetrate the shields. However, she also noted that the overcharging of the port shields and the exploding torpedoes had drained a significant portion of energy from the capacitors feeding the shields. Although the port shield was the only one hit, every shield quadrant had dropped anywhere from ten to twenty percent in integrity.

Ah well . . . looks like that’s about the best I can do. Let’s make sure that beast can’t strike at us a second time.

“Aye ma’am, course set for another attack run on the Guardian’s port side. Here we go again.” The Helmsman reported a moment later, and he was shortly followed by the Weapons Officer.

“Weapons are charging and are being held as, um . . . requested, ma’am! I finally have a weapons lock and firing solution for those Disruptor weapon mounts.”

“SATs are recharged and in position, ma’am.”

Good . . . then let’s get to –

“Excuse me, Commander Kali, but I have some good news on Captain Julian.”

Oh really? Well Medical Officer, what have you managed to do with that sorry sack of flesh?

“Well, he’s not doing too well at the moment. He’s lost a lot of blood, and most of his body is a wreck – either broken, or bleeding. However, there is still hope. Dun dun dun . . . . We can rebuild him. We can make him stronger. Faster. Better. We can make him . . . The Six Million Credit Pirate!”

I don’t think we have six million credits to spend, doctor, nor would I prefer to spend six million credits on Julian’s pathetic hide . . . what have you got instead?

“Well . . . we do have a reprogrammed, cloned body of a Borg drone, but with most of the external Borg bits taken off.”

What?????

“It will have the strength of ten men and can regenerate wounds at twice normal healing rate as well as enhanced senses.”

Oooo . . . sounds sexy. And efficient. You mean Julian will actually have a useful body, instead of the weak sack of flesh he has now?

“You could say that . . .”

Then do it.

Down in the medical bay, the Medical Officer gives the signal, and his crew immediately springs into action now that they had been given the official go-ahead. They remove the Borg body from stasis, and wheel it out on an anti-gravity gurney to float next to Julian. Julian was now almost completely out of it due to blood loss and drugs, but some small, sensible part of him sensed that something odd was going on.

“Doctor? What’s going on?” Julian croaked, as he weakly attempted to push himself up in order to get a better look at what had just been floated into position right next to him. His eyes had begun to cloud over, and so he could only make out the outline of a body lying on a gurney next to him through the mist obscuring his sight.

“Doctor? Who’s that? Doctor!! I command you to tell me what’s going on!”

“Shhhh . . . just relax sir. I assure you you’ll feel a lot better in a few minutes.” Came the mysterious reply, and although Julian wanted to get up and beat a straight answer out of the man, he found that he couldn’t. He was too weak to. A few moments later, Julian felt himself floating away as his brain was lifted out of his body, and then Julian lost consciousness.

********************************

Julian awakened to the sound of laughter. Bitter laughter, the kind Julian was used to: the kind he had known for almost all of his life, as he sought to struggle up from the ashes of his home and strike back at the NSC butchers that had destroyed his home. The laughter had a maniacal edge to it as well: the laughter of someone who realized they no longer had anything to lose. The laughter of a madman. Getting up and onto his feet, Julian sensed someone behind him, and turned. A huddled figure, shaking with wild laughter, sat crouched on a rock outcropping not far from Julian.

“Who are you?” Julian demanded, unsure of whether he should fight or flee from this strange figure. The figure did not answer Julian’s call, but instead simply shook its head, and continued to laugh.

“Who are you!!? Answer me, d*mn you!” Julian snarled, becoming annoyed that this odd creature refused to identify itself. Again, the huddled figure simply shook its head and laughed, even louder now, if such a thing was possible.

Having by now reached the royally p*ssed off stage that was one of his trademarks, Julian stormed forward, marching directly toward the cowled form of the stranger. In a moment Julian had reached him, and with a quick jerk, pulled the cowl back, revealing the huddled figure’s face. Upon seeing the thing’s face, Julian shouted a quick curse and leapt back. In response, the figure stopped laughing, and straightened from its crouched position.

“What’s wrong, Julian? Don’t you remember me?” The figure hissed as it reached a clawed hand up to throw back the cowl and reveal the face of Nathan Hunt.

“I certainly remember you, Julian, my good friend. You released me.”

Now that the cloaked figure of Nathan Hunt was standing, Julian could see a blackened hole in his chest, the same spot where Julian had shot Hunt with the Chrono gun a future version of Hunt had given him. Hunt paused for a moment after he got onto his feet, and then he jabbed a bony finger at Julian.

“Released me from my duties as Emperor, so that I could spend the rest of my days haunting you. I really should thank you, Julian. If it wasn’t for you, I would not have been able to transcend my feeble physical body. If it wasn’t for you, Julian, I would not have been transformed, with some outside help, into the progenitor of a new race! A superior race, a race of Chrono Borg!”

With that Hunt ripped his cloak off of his body and flung it aside, revealing a chest covered with tubes and gleaming metal. As he did so, several other cloaked figures strode forward from the darkness to stand behind Hunt, silent and unmoving.

“And now, my new allies and I will destroy everything. No one will be spared from the destruction this time. But first, I need to reward you for your help, because without you, none of this would have been possible. As your reward, you get to join us Julian, you get to join with me.”

“**** you! I’ll never join you or your new friends. I killed you dead once before, and it shouldn’t be too hard to do a second time.”

Hunt simply smiled and shook his head in a mocking manner.

“Julian, Julian, my dear friend. What makes you think you have a choice?”

Hunt then began to stare at Julian’s chest for some reason, and Julian’s eyes followed his nemesis’s gaze down . . . to see that his own chest was already covered in tubes and gleaming metal.

“Noooooo . . .” Julian screamed as he leapt towards the once-again cackling figure of Nathan Hunt.





Suddenly, there was a brilliant flash, and Julian snapped out of his nightmare. Looking around wildly, Julian discovered that he was in a medical bay of some sort, and several people were standing over him, working on him. The person who appeared to be in charged leaned down so Julian could see his face, but for the moment Julian couldn’t recognize him. “Welcome back, captain. How are you – urk!”

The Kronos’s Chief Medical Officer was cut off from his speech as Julian’s hands lashed out, wrapping themselves around the man’s throat. Unfortunately for the medical officer, Julian’s strength was now tenfold, although he didn’t know that. Unfortunately for the medical officer, his throat wasn’t meant for such sudden stresses, and it was crushed like an eggshell under the full force of Julian’s new grip.

Julian failed to notice this, however, as he leapt off of the medical gurney and dashed with blinding speed over to a nearby wall, the doctor still in tow. Upon reaching the wall, Julian slammed the doctor up against it, and held him there. Holding the doctor’s body in place would, however, prove to be unnecessary due to the fact that it was now sunk into the bulkhead wall by several centimeters.

“What have you done to me!??” Julian snarled, before realizing that he was interrogating a corpse. Releasing his grip on the dead doctor, Julian stepped back, and stared in wonderment at the bizarre sight of a doctor pressed half of the way into a wall.

“What the h*ll!!!?”

Welcome back, that certainly is an improvement. Now if we could just improve your attitude . . .

What the h*ck have you idiots done to me?

“Umm . . . ah, sir . . .” One of the junior medical officers spoke up, obviously a bit anxious to find out if he would soon join the Chief Medical Officer as a wall ornament.

YES!??

“Your original, ah, body was a bit . . . broken up. So we, ah, gave you a new one. A better one.”

A . . . BETTER . . . one?

“Umm . . . yes. You see we, ah, had a cloned Borg body onboard and we thought you might like tenfold strength and advanced regeneration abilities, along with a few other nice things.”

Oh you did, did you? WELL PUT ME BACK IN MY OLD BODY, D*MNIT!!

I’m afraid they can’t do that, Julian.

Oh, and why’s that?

“Because we, ah, burned . . . your old, lifeless body.”

You WHAT!!?

“Incinerated, is more like it.”

You little twerp . . . I’m going to rip your head off.

Julian began to menacingly walk towards the junior officer, intending to take his time and make the little nuisance sweat. Instead, Julian was across the room and in the junior officer’s face in a couple of seconds.

Hmm . . . that’s interesting.

Julian stopped in front of the junior officer, thought for a moment, and then whirled. He ran at full speed towards the wall and then up it. Julian was able to walk on the ceiling for a moment before falling back down to the floor, so great was his speed by the time he reached the wall.

Hahah . . . well, I suppose not everything is as bad as I thought.

There, you see? Stupid little human . . . how typical of you not to ever appreciate what you have. Just like you never appreciate me or my brilliance.

Oh shut up, heehee.

Julian’s merriment was cut short, however, as he noticed his reflection in one of the Medical Bay’s mirrors. The face that gazed back out at him was not his own. Instead of piercing blue eyes and brown hair, the reflection was bald, with metallic grey eyes.

Well . . . I certainly look a bit different. I doubt anyone would recognize me now.

“We, ah, are working on a program of plastic surgery and contact lenses for you, sir. The program would have been ready after an hour or two with the Chief Medical officer, but now it might take a bit, ah, longer.”

Good . . . too bad about the Chief, I suppose. Oh well. From now on, you are the Chief Medical Officer.

“M-me, sir? Are you sure that is, ah, wise?”

You’ll be fine . . . but only if you get that program done within the next twenty-four hours, savvy?

“P-perfectly well, ah, sir.”

Good. Be sure to clean up the mess as well.

Julian indicated the remains of the Chief Medical Officer, still affixed into the bulkhead, and then he turned to go.

As for me, I’m headed up to the bridge to finish this battle with the Guardian.

You sure you want to command in that?

Upon hearing Kali’s comment, Julian looked down to find that he was dressed in a somewhat flimsy medical gown. Julian scowled, and replied.

Well, apparently I’ll be stopping off to my Ready Room first for a change of clothes. Until then, you still have command.

Good. I doubt this thing will be able to take much more abuse . . . they simply weren’t built to last back in the day.

I see. Then how do you explain the fact that the thing is possibly millions of years old, and is still operational?

It’s operational for the moment, yes. But not much longer . . . even machine luck doesn’t last forever.

Julian snorted, and then headed out of the Medical Bay towards the turbolift at a light jog. For anyone else, it would have been a full-blown run, but since no one had to keep up with him, Julian doubted anyone would mind. Except of course anyone he ran into, and subsequently ran over, but that was another matter entirely.

Meanwhile on the bridge, Kali continued to command the ship in Julian’s absence.

“Another wave of quantum torpedoes just launched from the Guardian, ma’am” The Science Officer reported as the viewscreen displayed another wave of the brilliant blue orbs detach from the hulking form of the Guardian.

Another wave . . . how many torpedoes does that d*mn thing have? Oh well, same orders as before, everyone: shoot down those torpedoes with the Pulse Phasers, Flyswatter SATs, and Decoy SATs. Focus the remainder of our firepower against the Guardian’s port shields, only this time, Weapons Officer, add in our remaining Quantum Torpedoes to the mix of Blaster and Hammer fire. Give me whatever power you can to continue charging the Chrono weapons, Chief Engineer.

“Aye ma’am!”

Orders

Weapons Officer – Fire Quantum Torpedoes at the Guardian, use Pulse Phaser to shoot down incoming torpedoes.
Flight Commander – Use the Flyswatter & Decoy Satellites to destroy as many torpedoes from the Guardian as possible. Focus the Blaster satellites’ phaser 4’s against the Guardian’s port shields, as well as the Hammer satellites’ remaining cruise missiles.

Helm, IGNITION!

suddonly, the Astea's Vengeange raced forward at the Guardian, following it's own weaponsfire closeby, the energy of the shields crackling due to the amount of extra power that is being sent trough them... seconds before they would hit the Guardian's shields, the Phased Reflex cannon was fired, so that the bneam would exit the shieldingsphere at exactly the same time as the shields would hit eachother. As soon as the beam was fired, all energy from weapons got diverted to righthandside shielding and propulsion, as the Astea's Vengeance made a sharp turn to the left, and barely avoided impacting with the behemoth vehicle.

Fire sprouted in several locations around the ship, outside aswell as inside, and some rather heavy damage was sustained, but somehow, the shields seemed to hold out. covered in a ball of blue and green energystorms, The Astea's Vengeance seemed to be a ball of holy fire, manouvering around the Guardian towards it's rear at an incredible pace, comming to a halt a few clicks behind the Guardian, turning, and refocussing it's shields. Repairteams had been set out near the most likely locations of trouble, so they were quick enough to minimise the effects, but the doctor was in for a long night... the entire bridge seemed to die out for a second as they saw the Phased Reflex beam embedding itself into the Guardian ship, and not a breath was drawn.... did it work? did the bashingattack get us trough the shields enough for the Phased Reflex Cannon to hit the Guardian full force? only time could tell (or the DM ofc) seconds seemed like centuries as the bridgecrew locked it's eyes at the vieuwscreen, ignoring the tiny explosions and small fires around them... the damagecontrolteam was on it already

Comms: "We're receiving a message from the Amodyte, lieutenant. They've finished loading up the Kylithium into our cargobay and captain Killer thanks us for our support and says he might venture to contact us again in the future."
WO: "Very well. We'll inform the captain right away. Contact him on the internal commsystem."
Comms: "Yes Ma'am, commline open, you can speak now."
WO: "Captain? This is lieutenant Muller speaking."

* After some initial silence, there's the sound of high heels clicking against the floor: *click* *clack* *click* *clack* *click* *clack*

No1: "The captain is a little tied up right now. What is it, Sarah?"
WO: "We've finished loading up on Kylithium and captain Killer has expressed his gratituide and informs us he may be contacting us again in the future."

* In the background there's the enthusiastic rattling of chains.

No1: "Excuse me for a second."

* Again there's the sound of high heels: *click* *clack* *click* *clack* *click* *clack* and then a there's a different sound: *wssssjh* ending in a loud thunderclap followed by a muffled cry. Again there's the sound of high heels, only more rapdily this time: *clickclack* *clickclack* *clickclack*

No1: "Right. So the Kylithium is aboard the ship? Make sure it's safely stored in the armoured cargopods. We don't want any accidents happening to it and provide the arms master with her sample."
WO: "Yes, commander."
No1: "Have you yet found anything useful on the Mantis shipwrecks?"
WO: "No, not yet."
WO: "Right, keep looking, if you don't find anything, set a course back to Ankaa. Furthermore, I want you to use the longe range comm system to send a message to Major Tomm at Ankaa Control. Tell him we'll gladly take mission 1, system 2 (post #669)."
WO: "Another one of these missions?"
No1: "We need the money and there's a high reward for it. Now, if that'll be all, Sarah, the captain and I do not wish to be disturbed for at least another 2 hours."
WO: "Yes commander, understood!"

* Time passes and in captain Bogg's quarters, commander Speckles is gently stroking captain Bogg's bruised body.

No1: "Do you have any idea yet, where you're going to spend all those credits on?"
Bogg: "Yes I was thinking of upgrading the ship, making it more powerful."
No1: "Yes, of course, but I meant, do you have any detailed schematics yet?"
Bogg: "Yes, I've spent some of time on these."

* Bogg opens the drawer of his bedside table and produces a couple of childish, but colourful drawings. The first one shows a space battle where a big ship with many guns firing streams of hot plasma and missiles at the combined CSC, Federation, Kipire, Borg, Devoran, Alyssian, Insectid fleets and utterly destroying them. There are a lot of exlosions to be seen.
Bogg: "Look this is us, right here where it says so near the arrow pointing at us and this here, with all the multiple arrows, that's them, our enemies. They're going to die, because of our secret superior technology that I'm going to invent. It's called a Bogg-gun and it's more powerful than 100 phased reflexcannons with particle biophasers attached to it. It has unlimited shots, requires no charging time and you can put 20 on a single mount!"

* Bogg shows the next drawing. It depicts a guy standing on a pile of dead bodies waving a huge deathraygun and at his foot there appears to be a big breasted woman that is erotically holding on to his muscular leg and looking up to him. Great care has been taken to put all the different logos on all the different uniforms.
Bogg: "And this is me, standing on top of my enemies, after I've killed all of them. And here is you, holding on to my leg, admiring and loving me for the wonderful person that I am as well as my superb body and good taste in just about everything."

* Bogg moves on to the third and final drawing. There's someone with a big crown on his head and sitting on a chair. Surrounding him are several big treasure chests that are bright yellow on the inside. There are also some scantily clad women in the drawing. From the way it's drawn it's very clear that the women used to be naked at first, but some clothes were drawn over various parts of their bodies.
Bogg: "And here's when it's all over. I shall be the master of the universe. Of course, I already am, but not everybody knows that yet. But they will soon! And I shall be the richest person ever and maidens from all over the galaxy will come and offer themselves to me."

* Commander Speckles blinks a couple of times and looks at Bogg in astonishment: "How about letting me design our new ship?"

Bogg: "Ok."

OOC- Here are my new ships. My credits are: 175000 christmas bonus, 95000 credits for the mission and 9500 credits from AcidK. Anything that I have labeled with "(no cost)" are things that I have already paid for, because they already are on my ship right now.

Am I correct to understand that the phased particle phaser 8 requires 3 posts to charge and that my particle array now connects my 20 light plasma cannons, 10 gattling lasers, 5 photon cannons and tractor beam Mk X together and makes them all 50% stronger? -OOC

ooc/ very well, time to finish this mission and build the next ship. Btw LH, do those 40 shogun class fighters come free with the ship or do i actaully have to pay for them like i did, because if they're free i'll have some extra cash for the next ship i'm designing (i simply paid since it doesn't matter for the carrier and if they're free the cash would have gone into the next ship anyways)
and bakan, how did you get so much cash? you get 2*85k for Selling those 2 frigates, so have you sold them or what?/ooc

*Flapjack walks into his command bridge again and smiles as he sees his new carrier coming into position behind and to the right of them, while captain Bakan's small fleet comes into position as well, a few moments later his ship and the carrier start their drives and head towards the third planet where the target base it, expecting Bakan's ships to follow close behind his own*

[Bakan]

[ooc] Umm, was my ship approved? [/ooc]

[J-Kama-Ka-C]

*Kama sits further back in her chair, straights her uniform jacket, while continuing to watch the view screen - The Borg cube drawing ever closer.

"Yes, all interest in this system is understandable, both tactically and scientific... or raw data, whatever their motive, too bad, it's occupied.

Quite right, we want that crater moon for ourselves, just not to the extent of 'if we can't no one can', it hasn't come to that yet..."

*Still watching, if a little distantly. A small smile appears in time.

"We haven't lost any crew members yet, I don't want to have to start writing letters home to inform families of any lose. It is our duty to strive for perfection. Considering the chances, I believe we have to give this plan a try.

Science, Comms, get on it right away. What's the range on those SATs and power transferring. Can we, say, keep line of sight, while being hidden from Borg scanners, dark side of the moon perhaps. In any chase, we will be requiring the frigate to cover the point.

Shangri'la, El Dorado - We will station you above the crater moon, make it appear that all your scanners are directed towards the lunar surface and leave your weapons uncharged. Risky I know, but you'll have shields, more than I can say we will. If the Borg stay in character, they won't attack, without provocation, they may further believe you haven't seen them. Maintain a constant comms stream between yourselves for them to pick up on, relay information on the site and well, make something up, if you can elude to something interesting enough, we can entice the Borg ship close enough to pull this off.

Very well - Deploy the modified SATs and begin the routing power to the signal field. Weapon Officer, I suppose those heavy fusion cannons charged?"

*She pauses briefly for the reply, before deciding to make the call.

"You heard me, power them down. Transfer the energy from the cold fusion drives that is normally for powering those super weapons, redirect the energy to the SATs as well... strong and steady, eh..."

We will make this work, they will be assimilated, their biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own.

*Kama snaps her claws cheerily, with just a hint of megalomania.

"This is becoming something of a habit... Disabling the enemy and free enslaved minds and bodies. Or so the plan goes. Get to it people. No one gets left behind!"

[flapjack]

hmm, kama, need someone with a research thing aboard??

if so, i could come over after finishing this mission and claiming that third planet together with bakan

Or I could use the bonus credits to get my own and then keep my system and all the findings ;-)

Btw - Fighters listed on the hull description are indeed free.

[Planetkiller II]

ooc// The sheer cost of this upgrade is beginning to stagger me. I hope it's ok. //ooc

*PK walked slowly and deliberately down the corridors of Harkun's massive orbiting space dock. The Striker Draconis was in for repairs and a rather extreme refit. This alliance with the Aswana was paying off in more ways than one. They had agreed to do the repairs for free, and more importantly, were fitting a system to double her capabilities. Peter had no idea how it worked, something to do with 'power optimisation' but he didn't mind. They could always reverse engineer it later. Tangling with the frigate squadron had also come off very well, the bank account had swelled to extreme quantities. That was before the purchases though. PK doubted much, if anything could get through the vessel's shielding systems now. His walk came to an end outside a briefing room. He tapped the door release, and the door swung smoothly open. Inside, the rest of the command crew already sat around a large table. James, Matt, Nick, Hannah and the rest, all there.*

No1 - Glad you could join us sir.

"Oh very funny. Let's get on with it."

No1 - Sure thing. Jonas?

WO - The Striker is nearly ready to go Captain. The new weapons, though they aren't the most import upgrade, have been fitted. The extra Phaser 5 is a little less than I had hoped for, but still...

"Well, I did buy you three more Linear Drives for you to shoot at people with."

SO - Yeah, so quit your complaining.

WO - No reason for YOU to complain. YOU have three new special shielding systems, a bunch of science and sensory upgrades and new hull armour.

SO - Hmm... true. Still, we have more important things to worry about.

"Indeed we do. For one I have a few projects I want you to work on. I've sent the details to your station, you can start work when we get back. Also, I want to have a plan for when the refit is finished later today."

EO - It's that quick? These guys have good techies.

"Yeah. I want to get together with Captain Dachi and plot strategy. I guess that could wait till we're underway though. By the way Nick, are you House Aswana, you share the Captain's last name after all."

MC - Yes, we're very distantly related. However, I'd like to take this oppurtunity to grovel at your wisdom of buying an Armoury and Holo-Deck. Training and fighting will double in effectiveness, I guarantee it!

"I hope so. I intend to increase our fighting effectiveness further in the coming months too, assuming Matt's projects go well. Everything should be rearmed and repaired within a few hours, so unless anyone has anything else to add, we might as well get back to the ship."

*A few hours pass. The crew has returned to the Striker after a few good days of rest and relaxation, ready to take on the rogue Admiral Sar-Ai. Cables begin to detach from the side of the new and improved craft and the docking ring retracts mechanically. On the bridge, everyone holds their breathe, waiting to see how well the new engines perform.*

Comms - Captain Dachi's ships are signalling that they'll meet us in open space.

"Good. Helm, take us out."

*The streamlined shape of the Striker Draconis began to move sedately towards the blackness of the void...*

yes, but i might be capable of salvaging some DEVORAN tech from the base we're about to invade and we all know devoran tech is better then borg tech

[Ur_Quan]

I'm (again) confused about the way additional mounts work. I understand it's only way but is it:

A) Additional mount using equipment CANNOT be placed on anything other than additional mounts, e.g. you CANNOT put a cloaking device on a turret or shield mount.

or

B) You CANNOT put equipment that uses a particular kind (turret, shield, external) of mount on an additional mount, e.g. you CANNOT put missiles or plasma cannons on additional mounts.

[Planetkiller II]
