Fiction:Krickan Union Rises Unfinished Story RPs

The Confederate Border
Overview= ... Dialogue= The Hector, along with about a hundred other ships, where off to establish new deep-space colonies.

However, little did the DEF fleet captain Orus know he was to run into a very hostile people.

"Sir, ships ahead." A crewman said somewhat nervously.

"Slow out of hyperspace." Orus ordered.

"That goes for the fleet, too." He added.

The ships exited the blue swirl that was hyperspace, back into a somewhat star-filled region of space.

The fleet had a variety of colony, supply, and military ships. All with a paint job slightly different to the military. Using a eggshell colour rather then a grey. Urus did not have much time to admire his rather large fleet before he could see little metallic specks of light; ships, in the distance.

Upon closer inspection from the sensors, these ships where about three hundred strong and comprised of frigates, battlecrusiers, and carriers mainly.

The Fleet Captain was taken slightly off by surprise when he saw the ships assume a aggressive attack formation and advance toWards his fleet. He shook it off.

"Open a Hailing frequency." He said in his trademark even voice. One trained over years for diplomatic use with new life. The comms crackled to life, and Urus took in a breath;

"This is Fleet Captain Urus of the Drodo Empire." He started. He continued;

"We mean you no harm. Please respond." There was a pause. But the viewscreen shimmered to life as a older man in uniform appeared on the screen.

"You have violated Corporate Policy 022bca! You have illegally entered the Watchta Subsector, along with that, you have entered a area where military operations are about to take place!" Shouted the admiral in a very displeased manner. The NCKU Battle ship replies. The screen shimmers to life and shows a NCKU Admiral in a seemingly displeased mood. The admiral shouts "You have violated Corporate Policy 022bca! You have illegally entered the Watchta Subsector, along with that, you have entered a area where military operations are about to take place!"

Urus sighed, and kept his growing frustration for the man on the screen in the back of his mind;

"I apologise," he responded in his even tone. He continued;

"Shall we exit?"

"Raise shields." Urus subtly mumbled to the ops crewman, before looking back patently.

The admiral looked ready to burst;

"NO! There will be NO apologies and NO forgiveness for this blatant violation! You WILL cease and desist, and be taken in as of the New Corporate Krickan Union. ALL SHIPS, DIVERGE ON THEIR POSITION!"

Urus stared at the arrogant and possibly insane man on his viewscreen, read his emotions, and countered in a patronising tone purposely to infuriate him;

"I'm afraid that's not possible, my dear friend." He made a movement to signal to close comms;

"Tell the group one to fire at will, group two will evacuate the colony ships." The Fleet Captain ordered

Group One, comprised of the fleet's largest battleships, opened fire with powerful turbolasers, railguns, and powerful antimatter missiles. While the NCKU missile boats flanked and fired Ion and the highly experimental Quantum Displacement Cannon rounds.

The Drodo ships managed to protect against the weaponry, but not at the expence of lowered shield power. The Missile boats where soon annilated by the Drodo counterfire at close range.

"Looks as though you'll need to change tactics, admiral..." Urus said to himself. But as he did, NCKU Destroyers made hit and run attacks, Warping in, firing a barrage, and then Warping away for others to attack. Urus was taken off guard to see several battlecrusiers fall. However, he also noticed that until now, they where focusing on Group One, now, the remaining colony ships still unevacuated where getting harassed by the hit-and-runners. Urus thought for a moment, at this rate, his people would only be destroyed by the unpredicable assaults by the NCKU. His eyes lit up;

"A Ha!" He exclaimed, he looked over to his ops officer;

"Ensign, can you reconfigure long-range sensors to look for ships in Warp, and there predicted destinations?" The ensign nodded, and mumbled to himself reminding himself of the process;

"Done, sir!" He exclaimed, The Fleet Captain nodded. as the sensors where suddenly covered in green blips denoting the predicted ambush areas.

"Transmit this to all ships in the fleet!" Urus ordered.

Before long, Group One ships barraged areas where the NCKU ships where predicted to ambush. One ambush group emerged, only to be blasted away in seconds by relentless turbolaser and antimatter missile barrages. A second fell. However, the scans wheren't perfect as some ambushes appeared in different places and took Drodo ships off-guard. However, the NCKU were losing ships faster. Urus ordered the Hector to open fire on a frigate coming out of Warp, destroying it. He asked over the din;

"Are the colony ships through?"

"Yes sir!" A crewmember responded;

"Good! Open comms." The Fleet Captain ordered. The comms crackled to life and the incredibly infuriated admiral appeared on the viewscreen. Urus composed himself and a sly smile came across his face;

"I'm afraid I must depart now, Admiral." The NCKU admiral, although red in the face with anger, said nothing. Urus continued;

"I thank you for your time. I leave you with one last thing..." He gave the order to fire an ammonia missile, normally used in the first stages of terraformation to build the foundation of an atmosphere, could also be used as a deadly bioweapon. The missile, targeted for the Admiral's ship, fired away, and pierced the hull, filling the ship with ammonia gas.

"Now, we leave..." Urus said, and started into hyperspace with the last of the fleet;

"...And the confederacy falls." The NCKU Admiral responded snappily as the gas seeped into the bridge of his ship. Luckily for him and his crew, his species was of a Cyanide/Silicon composition, therefore the ammonia, while not lethal, made it very difficult to get a gulp of air.

"Imperialistic *cough* scum! Gah!" The Admiral shouted;

Urus simply gave a patronising, condesending smile, and said;

"Don't aggravate the Imperium."

The Hector and the rest of Group One fell out of sensor range.

The Admiral grumbles as the ammonia is cleared up, many of his crew where sent to sickbay for oxygen deprevation and minor injuries from the insuing chaos. He called in replacement ships to make up for his losses. Soon the ships arrived, and a genocidal assault was to begin.

The Drodo Retaliate
Overview= ... Dialogue= The plans where set. Urus had the control of a good fraction of the First and Third combat army, and was ready to make a simultaneous assault on all conquered CUS worlds.

"Commence the assualt." He commanded the fleet. Soon after that, Like thousands of bolts of lightning, the fleet's ships went there own separate ways toWards the designated systems

Reports already came in to the commander, there were wins and losses. But, all and all, he took the NCKU Naval Forces completely off guard, causing a smirk to grow on his face.

Three massive dagger-shaped vessels appeared, guns blazing, annilating every NCKU ship in sight.

"Deploy the ground army!" The commander of the flotilla commanded, and quickly the dropships, drop-pods, and corvettes desended into the atmosphere.

On the planet, Police and Ground Military Forces are mobilized, and tanks, artillery, and gunships are dispatched. They also begin to kill off the citizens and captured Urikaw on the planet, in order to prevent them from being captured by Drodo Forces.

The Drodo themselves started to deploy artillery and scan the area,Armoured vehicles, including Goliath walkers and Tanks, engaged bunkers along the countryside to the city.

Scout squads where dispatched to find artillery positions and transmit the coordinates back. Shortly after this, Several NCKU emplacments where destroyed by artillery, making the way clearer for infantry to advance.

While the armoured vehicles distracted the main force, the highly trained Drodoian Marines flanked around to engage in urban combat. This called the Police and Ground NCKU units were caught off guard by the Drodo units, and begin to get quickly dispatched.

The Drodo established a evac point, and protected the smallish town square with machine gun emplacments, landmines, and a shield generator NCKU Ground Units try to retake the town square, but fail then fall back.The Civilians where starting to be evacuated as the marines held fast against the NCKU. "Come on!" A marine yelled to a Urikaw family, before promptly gunning down two NCKU troopers.

The Urikaw familly, along with a few NCKU Citizens get onto the dropship. They are injured, with the Urikaw Familly suffering severe bruising, and the NCKU Citizens suffering gunshot wounds.

Another NCKU citizen tries to get onto the drop ship, but is shot by a NCKU Soldier, the citizen falls and does not get back up. The young marine took a shot to the shoulder, but simply growled and shot down the man who fired at and the citizen.

"THE CITY'S CLEARED, LET'S MOVE!" The Drodo captain yells over the din. The Marines and civilians then fall back into the dropships, and watch as the city is atomized by orbital bombardment. The NCKU Citizens on the gunship grip their wounds as the look out and see their city destroyed by the bombardment.

The Dropships soon returned to the Drodo battleships. Not much was said along the journey. During the Drodo Invasion, The same scene played out on many worlds as litterally billions of lives where changed forever.

The NCKU Navy tries to re-secure the CUS planets where the Drodo fleets are, however, they are beaten back and retreat then regroup at the CUS planets they still control.

The Drodo Navy then sets off for the Drodo held world, so they can transport the Refugees.

A very strong odor permiated the large room where the refugees were being stored on one ship, Seris walks into the room, ready to continue his patrol.

He was ready to make another circuit around the room when he heard someone say something. He turned and saw a CUS Citizen, sitting in a corner saying "Where are we going to go now, here are you going to take us?"

Seris's antennae stood up a little taller through his helmet as he heard the words. He turned around, lowering his rifle a little

"Uh, You're going to be sent to a Drodo world to be taken care of by our government. We have a prefab settlement ready for you at the location, I believe."

The CUS citizen looks away and says "Government...government...government. Government is the reason I'm here in the first place, government is the reason my species almost got eradicated, government is the reason why soldiers barged into homes and raped and killed families. How can I trust you, how do I know you are not lying to me, and whether or not I'm just getting transported into another fascist freak show."

Seris took a deep breath

"If we planned to enslave and kill you all, why didn't we when we liberated your worlds?" He said.

Seris shook his head, 'too aggressive', he thought

"Look, my people aren't like the NCKU, we aren't dictators." He said.

The citizen's eyes narrow as he looks down and says "Again, how can I trust YOU. You are a soldier, a arm of the government, thus there is a chance you are just feeding me propaganda about your own. I don't know your government system, I don't know your politics, I don't know who your leader is, and I don't even know who the fuck you are. All I know is that you are slightly better then the NCKU in my eyes at the moment, partially because you have not blowtorched my face off or slowly cut off my limbs for "Impeding the great rebirth."

Seris nodded, his argument was valid.

"So... These, uh, people, the NCKU, what did they do?" Seris asked, while he was talking to this man, he might as well learn some about his enemy, he was probably going to be fighting them for a few more weeks.

The citizen's eyes widen and he looks directly toWards the soldier's eyes, and he mutters "They are not people, they are fucking savages. They came into our empire, and destroyed our armed forces in a day. They killed all of our leaders, and then moved on to us. He pauses for a moment and says "Mass scale genocide, bodies piled up along every street and in every city, the air was ripe with death as they burned the piles. The survivors faced torture of unimaginable cruelty, from being forced to drink sulfuric acid to being beaten and violated with metal rods." The citizen pulls up his pants sleeve on his right leg, which shows a massive dark spot and says "I was electrocuted with copper wires, I felt the electricity surge throughout my body, as I was paralyzed and helpless. The skin on my leg began to burn up and smoke, before they laughed and threw me on the ground."

Seris widened his eyes. In all of his life, he'd never think he'd have to go against such monsters

"Dear lord..." Seris muttered.

The citizen continues with "They spare no mercy against their own species either. They treat them almost as badly as they treat us." The citizen looks down and says "I was walking down the street, and saw a female NCKU citizen, probably 35-40. A Population Control Officer grabbed her and threw her into a alley, then he followed her inside." The citizen begins to tear up and says "I think I don't need to....explain the details as to what happened with her."

Seris shook his head, he did not want to hear anymore. He desperatly tried to find an excuse to leave. He checked his watch, but it was still his shift.

He went to the mess before his shift, so he was full. He sighed, and looked at his watch again.

"Uh, looks like my shift's over." He lied, he started walking toWards the exit of the cargo bay.

The citizen just looks away, and turns toWards the wall, facing it, he begins to weep quietly.

As soon as the door shut, be took a deep sigh to clear his mind.

Seris had an overwhelming amount of images in his head, from the man's worn-out, haunted eyes, to his tales of horrible oppression. He looked around to find his friend, Greten, looking over reports on a datapad.

"Hey Greten, i-its your shift." Seris said unevenly.

He looked up,

"Still yours for a few more minutes new-guy." He said.

"Uh, the First Officer needs to speak to me, actually." Seris responded.

Greten rolled his eyes and nodded.

Seris hastily passed him the rifle he was carrying and went to the armoury to take off his armour.

He cautiously walked through the corridors to his quarters, where he sat down and took it in. After a few minutes, his Marine training finally kicked in, "Stay emotionally detached from your/others actions." was one of the big rules. He decided to take the advice of his training, and took a deep breath.

I just need some shut-eye..." The young soldier concluded.

At that, he took off his uniform and got into his bed, his sleep far from undisturbed.

Some Urikaw Rescued
Overview= ... Dialogue= A spaceship heads toWards a recently conquered Confederate Union of Secton planet, now controlled by the NCKU. The spaceship enters the atmosphere and lands at a docking port, which is still heavily damaged from the battle. Then the doors open. 2 NCKU soldiers board the ship, having been assigned to duty as a prison guard. The ship takes off, and flies half-way around the planet and lands in a docking port in the outskirts of a destroyed city. The doors of the ship open and a NCKU Soldier with a data pad stands in front of the door entrance. NCKU Soldier - You two, come here. They obey. NCKU Soldier - You will be doing security duty on Prison Transport No #201, in Docking port 5S, which is inside the city. NCKU Soldier - You will get there via APC. NCKU Soldier - NOW GO! Soldiers - Yes sir. They comply. Numerous instructors shout them to the APC, when they get to the APC they are pushed inside, and the APC sets off. The APC goes on a semi-destroyed highway, and recklessly rams burnt out cars out of the way. Outside the window you can see bulldozers pushing bodies into deep ditches, and the ditches being burned after. The APC finally makes it to the docking port, and the two soldiers are pushed out. They comply. The two soldiers are pushed and shoved, and shouted on the way to the prison ship, they then make it to the entrance of the ship. They enter. The Security Officers mean the captain of the ship near the entrence and he says "Ahh, wonderful to meet you, I suppose you will be a part of our security team, yes?" Soldier 1 - Yes. Captain - Well, well then. All the other spots are filled on our ship, so you will have to do zoo keeping. That is, prison duty, hehehe. Now, off you go to your security outpost, there you will meet a fellow security officer assigned to the area. The soldiers comply. The two soldiers walk through the various hallways, until they reach a door named "PRISONER TRANSPORT". They walk into an overcrowded prison, with cells designed for 10 people holding 30 people. The jail-cells are lined up alongside the main hallway, and in the middle of the hallway stands a security guard with a baton in his hands, he says "Hey there! You must be my new security partners!" Soldier 1 - Yes, we are. The security guard smiles and says "Well then, let me show you how we do things around here!" The security guard opens the door to one of the jail cell and shouts "YOUR FAVORITE SECURITY GUARD IS BACK! DID YOU MISS ME?" The people in the jail cell scream in horror as they try to move and crowd to the back of the cell. Soldier 2 - Oh, before you do that, I didn't catch your name. The security guard looks back with the same smile and says "My name is Rack Wassav, you can call me Pvt.Wassav though." The security guard drags out a person, and throws the person down onto the hallway floor. Soldier 2 - Well my name is Ufo'Talla, but most mortals call me "The Judge." The security guard looks up and says "How charming!" The person on the floor is too weak to stand up, the person just cowers. Judge - Would you like to know why I am called that? Pvt.Wassav - Sure, sure. Let me just BASH THIS MOTHERFUCKER's HEAD IN! The security guard raises his baton. Judge - Ku, Shield them. A transparent shield suddenly appears over all of the slaves, not just in this cell, but in the entire room. Pvt.Wassav brings down his baton, and straight toWards the prisoner's head. The baton bounces off the shield. Pvt.Wassav - Wha-what the? The Judge's voice changes. Judge - Turn around and gaze at your destruction mortal. Pvt.Wassav slowly turns around in the other direction. He sees two entirely different beings from before, both beautiful, though the one that identified as Ufo'Talla was not prevented by this from evoking the greatest terror. The Judge held a pair of scales in his hand Pvt.Wassav stares in awe at the two, his baton slowly slips out of his hand and falls to the floor. Judge - Let us ask the scales what they think of you. Pvt.Wassav falls to his knees and says "Please...PLEASE, NO!” The scale on the right tilts down, with seemingly no weight being put on it. Judge - Interesting, the scales judge you as having been coerced by fear. Pvt.Wassav is now on the verge of going on a mental breakdown he says "They watch us...every minute of every hour every day. If we don't act like we enjoy it, they will detain us for...’Not beleiving in the great rebirth’". Judge - I see. The Judge looks at the scales for a while. Judge - Ku, I've marked the ones that wouldn't have done any differently without the threats. Leave only those unshielded. Ku - Done. Now Glow your glow. A shield surrounds several of the guards in the room. The Judge steps outside the cell, and into the center. Pvt.Wassav looks around as he cowers on the floor of the room trying to get a grip on what is going on. Judge - Those of you who have been marked have been deemed by my scales to be genocidal maniacs. I have decided to sentence you to be painfully burnt to death. Do you have any objections? The guards that were selected scream in horror, except for one, who reaches for his radio. The Judge begins to grow brighter slowly, he glows with greater and greater intensity; the unshielded begin to feel a burning sensation. The security guard that was reaching for his radio drops the radio due to the pain, and goes down to his knees. The others scream in pain. The security guard that had the radio crawls toWards it, he looks up and says "Go....burn...in a pit..." The glow grew in intensity enough that the unshielded guards burst into flames. The guard reaching for the radio, now on fire, quickly grabs it and says "ARGHHAAA! INTRUDERS IN THE PRISON HOLD, ARGHH, HELP! AGHHHH!" The radio the melted. Alarms around the ship sound, and NCKU Army Personnel enter the ship. The horrified crew of the ship, Except for the still shielded guards, quickly evacuate, except for the captain who stays in the bridge. NCKU Troops storm the prison.. The NCKU Troops surround the two. NCKU Trooper - GET ON THE GROUND NOW! DO IT NOW. The Judge pulls out his scales. They tip wildly in the leftWard direction. Judge - Ku, shield them. Ku obeys without questioning; knowing Ufo has something in mind. The NCKU Troopers open fire wildly on the two with their Semi-Automatic Rifles. Ku teleports the antimatter pulses outside the ship. Ufo crushes the soldier's guns, disabling them. The NCKU Troopers stand in confusion, not knowing how their guns got crushed. Judge - You have been sentenced to be painfully crushed to death. The NCKU Troopers scream in horror, with one of them saying "NOO!” Judge - Ku, shrink the shields. The Shields which surround the soldiers begin moving inWard. As the shields move inWard, they begin to crush the soldiers alive. The soldiers scream in agony, as their power suits close in on their occupants. The Shields move in more and more, the screams become deafened as the first soldier dies, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then still more, then finally the last, as he is crushed into a soft mixture of flesh and blood. Pvt.Wassav stares in horror as he says "By the gods..you...you crushed them!" Judge - Were they not among the agents of your persecution? Pvt.Wassav - Yes...they...they were.... I just never believed I would see one of them...die...let alone a squad... Ku - I'm going to commandeer the ship and take these guys back to the planet Cleansy named after me, you go ahead and talk to this guard. Judge - Alright. The shields around the guards are lowered. The Judge approached the guard. Pvt.Wassav crawls back slowly in fear. Judge - Calm down. I won't kill you. Pvt.Wassav stops crawling back, but still cowers on the floor. The Judge kneels down and puts his hand on the guard's shoulder. Pvt.Wassav turns his head toWard the Judge. Judge - However, your coercion was by fear. It takes mind control or something similar to absolve you completely. Pvt.Wassav begins to tear up and says "Oh please, Oh please, Oh please..." Judge - You are not fully responsible, as you were under threat of death. However, you were still obligated to say no. Pvt.Wassav - Bu-But, I would have died if I said no! Judge - Yes, and that reduces your punishment to this. The Judge violently hits him in the head, knocking him out. He does the same to the rest of the living guards. Meanwhile, Ku-Rokti approached the bridge. The captain turns around, and smiles, he says "Oh, look who has arrived, hm?” Ku-Rokti - Such as you call me the trainer, Mortal. Two Security Guards are in the room, they look at Ku-Rokti with shock, they quickly draw their weapons, although they have a sense of confliction to them. The captain chuckles and says "I'm not a mortal, I'm a vital piece in the machine of the Great Rebirth!" Ku-Rokti - No, no, I know a mortal when I see one. The fleshyness, the boring, energyless soul, the irritating confidence that they have any hope in a fight against you... The captain says "Heheh, and I know an annoyance when I see one! A person who blocks the path of the Great Rebirth! Guards, open fire on this worthless excuse of a..a...whatever the hell he is." The Guards point their guns, but don't shoot. Ku-Rokti runs over and takes the gun from the first guard and shoots the second. The captain appears agitated, and shouts “GO ON! SHOOT HIM! *Points* SHOOT HIM! HIM!" One of the guards lowers his weapon and says "No." The captain appears outraged, he shouts "WHAT! ONCE I ADD THIS TO YOUR REPORT, YOU ARE GOING TO SUFFER THE WRATH OF THE GREAT REBIRTH! *Points at the other guard.* YOU, SHOOT HIM. The other guard lowers his weapon as well, but says nothing. The captain's eyes widen in anger, he shouts "TRAITOR! YOU ARE BOTH TRAITORS, YOU WILL BURN IN THE PITS OF HELL ALONG WITH HIM!" Ku-Rokti - I assure you, I am not the sort of thing that tends to die at all. The captain steps back away from the three. Ku-Rokti - May I take this one? One of the guards says nothing, while the other one says "Yes, you may." Ku-Rokti rips the captain's heart out and crushes it. The captain looks at Ku with shock, he looks down at the hole where his heart used to be, he looks back at Ku. His eyes then roll back to his head, and he falls onto the floor, dead. Ku-Rokti - Do you know how to drive this thing? The security guard rubs the back of his helmet and says "Uhmm...no..." Ku-Rokti - Okay, is there anyone on our side that might...? Ku-Rokti - I'll fly us back to Cleansy's place. The security guard looks at Ku-Rokti with confusion, he says "Cleansy?" Ku-Rokti - Friend of mine. The security guard retorts with "Right..." Ku-Rokti - Just hold on. Ku drives the ship back to the planet that the Cleanser had named after him. The Pvt.Wassav slowly comes to, he is still in the same spot when he was knocked out. He squints his eyes and tries to regain focus on his surroundings. He noticed several aliens in the room with him. "He's awake," one said, pointing at him. They both came toWards him, along with the Judge, who stepped into view Pvt.Wassav begins to panic a bit and says "Where...Where...Where am I?" Judge - The Aeoneonatrix home world. Pvt.Wassav has a confused face and says "Aeoneonatrix?" Judge - An empire of mortals whose main species was originally raised to sapience by a friend of mine. Pvt.Wassav - Oh... Judge - You seem... Uncomprehending… I suppose most are, regardless, I assume you have no desire to go back to your old empire? Pvt.Wassave - No. The NCKU has turned into a monster, they promised us security and stability for our race and empire, and to make sure a genocide is never committed against us again. But instead they turn into a Compulsory Consumerist Terror State, where the citizens are treated like cattle, and people live in eternal fear. Judge - Would you like to stay here in this one? You don't have to answer that right away, feel free to look around. We took your ship to bring the Urikaw on board here so that they could have a chance to continue their existence here, but it seems the NCKU had more victims than I had assumed. Pvt.Wassav - Well, I could look around to see if I would agree with things such as culture and etc. Perhaps I can walk around a major city? Judge - You're in the capitol right now, I'll let you look around. Pvt.Wassav rubs his head again and stands up, he says "Ok, so...is there a door I need to go to, or do you teleport me or something?” Judge - The door is over there. Pvt.Wassav looks toWards the door and says "Oh." he walks toWards it, and he opens it. Judge - Oh, mind if I send a guide for you? Pvt.Wassav turns around and says "Umm, sure." The Judge closes his eyes for a moment, and then re-opens them. "Frozic should be here shortly." Pvt.Wassav nods and says "Ok." Frozic arrives. Pvt.Wassav turns toWards Frozic and says "Hello, nice to meet you." Frozic - Hello. Pvt.Wassav - So, you are supposed to be my guide? Frozic - Yes. Pvt.Wassav says "Right then, let's do this then.” he then opens the door and walks outside onto the sidewalk. Frozic - Don't worry, we don't bite. Pvt.Wassav stands outside in the sidewalk, he looks around at his surroundings. Pvt.Wassav looks around and says "Wow...this city, it looks so nice." Frozic - Indeed. Come into my car and I'll show you around. Pvt.Wassav complies, and gets into the car. Frozic gives him a tour of most of the city, until there is only one stop left. Pvt.Wassav looks outside and says "Where are we headed?" Frozic - The temple, where I work. Pvt.Wassav - Oh, well, are we going to go inside it? Forzic - Yes. Frozic drives the car to the local temple, parks, gets out, and invites Wassav out with him. Pvt.Wassav steps out of the car, and follows Frozic. They go inside the temple. Pvt.Wassav turns to Frozic and says "So, since this is a temple, it must be connected to some sort of religion. What is your religion based on?" Frozic - The Cleanser, The entity that brought our race to sapience. Pvt.Wassav - Interesting. Can you tell me more about the Cleanser? Frozic - The Cleanser is, as I said, the one who brought my race to sapience. The people of our race are his servants. We dedicate our souls to him as soon as we are old enough to do so, usually around age 3-5. I, in particular, owe my life to him. Pvt.Wassav - How do you owe your life to him? Frozic - Do you know how our names work? My empire I mean, do you know our naming convention? Pvt.Wassav - No. Frozic - Our names are all common use words in our language. Usually, there are three words. The first name, and two put together to make the surname. Traditionally, only the words in the surname are translated, with the first names being transliterated instead when rendered in other languages. By the way, our first name is not always given at birth. Because it's meant to describe us accurately, it is usually given later on in life, though I got mine not long after birth. Anyways, an example of this is my name. Frozic just happens to be our word for cold. Hence, when a person speaking our native language hears my name, they hear "Cold Mightywind." Other Examples include "Adventurer Wildlight" and "Freedom Freeflight." Now the answer to your question lies in the reason I am called "cold." I assume you want to know why? Pvt.Wassav - Yes. Frozic - Well, though it's not true anymore, when I was a hatchling, I was indeed quite cold, so much so that I was not expected to live. Pvt.Wassav - That must have been unfortunate, how did you survive? Frozic - The Cleanser saved me. He healed my ailment. Pvt.Wassave - That's interesting. Frozic - I owe him my life. As a result, I ended up trying to pay my debt to him. I'm currently the head of faith for the entire empire actually. Pvt.Wassave - The ENTIRE empire? Wow, that's pretty amazing. Frozic - Yes. There’re almost no services here actually, and the Cleanser usually accepts private prayer, so there's really not much to do besides manage the charity work we do here. Pvt.Wassav - Oh, ok. Frozic - That's not to say I do nothing, of course. The Charity work is often highly important, and does take some work to manage. I still find time to be a part time naval captain though. Pvt.Wassav - I was wondering, since you are a naval captain after all, do you have some insight into NCKU/Aeon relations? I'm asking this because the NCKU is already into a War with the Drodo Empire, and I fear that the NCKU may not be able to hold out against TWO combatants. Frozic - Well I WAS the person responsible for first contact with Secton, to I'd imagine you are not very well liked. Pvt.Wassav - I can imagine. I do not even know how many Urikaw were killed in the invasion and cleansing. Frozic - We managed to rescue a good deal of them. We have enough to continue the species as an Aeoneonatrix member race. None the less, the number is likely in the billions. Pvt.Wassav looks down and put's his hand to his forehead, he says "By the gods..." Frozic - Tell me, what is this "Great rebirth" they speak of? Pvt.Wassav - It's supposed to be philosophy which says that, in order for our species to survive, we need to conquer everyone in our home sector. It also says that after we control our home sector, we need to expand to the other sectors, and neutralize our threats. However, a part of it that they don't tell the average citizen is much darker. The government believes that Galak is some sort of prophet, and that he came from a god named Fisiva, who supposedly created the universe. Fisiva ordered Galak to spread the wisdom of violence, and to unlock the secret on unlocking and unleashing your inner savagery. So, they are trying to figure out a way to make Galak's Violence and Savagery split from his body, and become an entity in itself. However, I do not know what they plan to do after they separate his Violence and Savagry from his body. I hear rumors that billions are supposed to die to appese Fisiva, and prove that Galak completed his goal. But I cannot be completely sure on that, the information that comes after the separation part is restricted to the highest members of government I believe. Frozic - Do you know if this Fisiva is real? Pvt.Wassav - I am almost certain he is not. Galak is clinically insane by your standards, and made that up himself. However, I do know that separating personalities and emotional characteristics is possible. Frozic - So there is a danger of this seperation actually happening, and a being of pure violence being spawned? Pvt.Wassav - Yes, and with Pure Violence comes Incoherence. I believe. Frozic - And how hard would this being be to kill? Pvt.Wassav - I do not know. Nobody knows. Supposedly it is beyond rational thought on what he can do. He can make left be forWards, and make the sky be the ground in his local area according to legend. Remember, he is the pure being of Violence and Incoherence. That is legend, of course. Frozic - I don't know of any instance of such a thing happening. I don't suspect it is possible. Pvt.Wassav shrugs and says "I'm not sure about that. I'm not sure about anything anymore in matter of fact. All I know is that our government is crazy, and they seem to be determined." Frozic - Indeed. I do wonder, who are the Gods you referred to earlier? Pvt.Wassav - Oh, that's the religion of the forefathers. The citizens in the Krickan union followed it before the sky fell. It follows that the universe was not created by one god, but by a council of gods, each one representing one aspect of this universe. It's illegal to follow now...of course. Frozic - No, it is not, I think you mean it was illegal for you to follow up until a very short time ago. Pvt.Wassav - Yes. It is illegal in the NCKU, it supposedly "Contradicts the Great Rebirth" or something. But I can follow it here, right? Frozic - Yes, though you will be rare indeed for not following ours, it is still legal, even if just because no one ever thought to make a law against it. Pvt.Wassav - Right... "Anyways," Frozic said, quickly changing the subject, "Would you like to see where you'll be staying the next few days? We'll have to register you first, though.” Pvt.Wassav notices his quick change of subject, but ignores it and says "Sure." Frozic drives them over to the registration office. Frozic - Go ahead and get in line. Pvt.Wassav nods, and walks toWards the line. Pvt.Wassav waits in line. A Urikaw gets behind him in line. Urikaw - Wait... What are YOU doing here? Pvt.Wassav looks at the Urikaw with a face full of shame, he says "I...I...I defected...I escaped." "I see," the Urikaw says with an angry face. The Urikaw rolls up his sleeves to reveal several bruises. Pvt.Wassav can't stand to look at them, and looks away. "I know they kind of meld together," he says, "but there are eleven. You personally account for nine of them." Pvt.Wassav - ... The Urikaw continued to look at him angrily. Pvt.Wassav - I'm sorry. Urikaw - I don't believe you. Why are the Aeoneonatrix even letting you come here? Pvt.Wassav - I don't know...they should have killed me... Urikaw - I agree. I don't know what got into them. Pvt.Wassav looks away. The line slowly moves forWard. Eventually, Wassav gets to the front. Pvt.Wassav - hello. Receptionist - Hello. let's see, first, give me your name. Pvt.Wassave - My name is Rack Wassav... Urikaw - I'll keep a note of that. Receptionist - I see, now what is your genetic medium? Rack Wassav - DNA. Receptionist - Alright, put your finger into the left-most tube there. She pointed to a row of tubes on the desk to Wassev's right. Rack Wassav put's his finger into the left-most tube. Receptionist - Do you have any conditions rendering it unsafe for you to bleed? Rack Wassav - No... Receptionist - Good. Wassav feels a prick on his finger as the machine takes a blood sample and scans the DNA therein. Receptionist - Alright then, we have you in our database. You may go on now to your temporary accommodations. Wassav nods and says "Thank you." he then walks off toWards his room. Wassav walks back to Frozic. Frozic - Alright then, let me take you to your room upstairs. Wassav - Alright. Frozic takes him to the elevator. Wassav presses the button to call the elevator. They go up to the 3ed floor and Frozic shows him to the room he'll be staying in. Wassav looks inside. The place is small. It has a large bed with a television seated in front of it, and a dining room with two seats. There is also a door to the left leading to a bathroom. Wassav - Oh...this is very nice. Wassav walks inside. Frozic - Thank you. You'll be allowed to stay here until a committee finishes deciding if you qualify as an escaped slave. Most likely, they will decide that you do, which will mean you get a free, fully furnished house and some money. Wassav nods. Wassav - Well, it would be best that you leave...I need to set up the room. Frozic - Okay.

The Attack on Ku-Rokti
Overview= ... Dialogue= At Ku-Rokti, Lingur Wildlight had already established a defensive fleet in preparation for the NCKU's attack, which they had announced on the Universal discussion board.

The Guardians were primed to fire and the hounds were ready to battle at any moment.

Lingur - Any sign of them?

Guardians, though they had faster than light capabilities, were functionally more like space stations. They orbited the planet in a massive defensive grid, ready to fire on command. Hounds, on the other hand, were more traditional fighters, with more maneuvering capabilities, but not without firepower.

1,000 NCKU ships stand ready orbiting around a NCKU outer world, the fleet captain in his battle ship looks over recon photos taken by fighters, and is slowly turning Irate. "THESE ARE SHIT!" he exclames, as he throws the photos across the bridge. "How can I possibly set up a good strategy if the images are blurred or just show a laser beam heading toWards the recorder!"

"Bu-but sir, those were the only ones we managed to salvage, the rest of the recon team got destroyed!" Said a crew member.

The fleet captain sits down and says "Ugh, we will just have to wing this then. It's too late to cancel the attack now, we have invested money into getting these ships ready."

The fleet captain grabs his transmitter and says "Fleet, we have encountered some technical difficulties, so we will just have to settle with Strategy B. I'm sure you know it, as it is practiced almost every month. If you don't know it...well...kill yourself I guess."

The captain looks out into space for a short moment, then talks back into the transmitter again and says "Ok, we will Warp into the attack zone on my mark. On the count of 4... 1...2...3..4. GO, WarP NOW AND ASSEMBLE INTO POSITIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE."

The ships simultaneously Warp out of the NCKU system, and speed toWards Ku-Rokti.

Lingur grips his captain’s chair. "Any sign of them?"

The NCKU fleets Warps out into Aeon space near Ku-Rokti. They Warp on the complete wrong side of the planet, right infront of the guardian grid. The Missileboats quickly try to get a flank on them while the Frigates try to catch up to them. The destroyers try to find the proper Warp zones and the Battleships and cruisers are left out in the open.

The fleet captain shouts out and says "OH WHAT THE FUCK, NO, NO, NO!"

Lingur sees them come into view.

The NCKU MissileBoats Warp to the left flank of Lingur's fleet, they are also a far distance from his fleet. They begin to fire concentrated Quantum Disruption Beams at the Aeon fleet, while the frigates guard the MissileBoats.

The Missile boats, realizing that the Aeon fleet is all around the planet, regroup with the main fleet. They then go farther back and begin to fire Quantum Disruption Beams directly at the fleet's front, with the frigates guarding them.

The frigates then support the missile boats by firing their Ion Cannons at the front of the fleet as well.

Hounds spring to life and begin targeting and firing energy missiles at the NCKU ship’s shields.

The plasma shields of the NCKU ships easily take the blunt of the plasma missiles, except for a frigate which did not put up it's shields in time. The frigate gets hit in the bridge, and quickly begins to move away from the battle, clearly out of control.

The fleet captain grits his teeth and says "Fisav damnit, try to send a rescue & salvage crew over there.”

A single hound peruses the frigate.

The Aeoneonatrix ships begin firing Quantum torpedoes at the NCKU ship’s plasma shields.

The quantum missiles hit the plasma shields hard, and they struggle to keep them online.

The fleet captain get's a bit anxious and says "Battleships, cruisers, begin all out frontal assault and get those Anti-Missile turrets online. Destroyers go behind the enemy line and perform hit and go attacks."

The battleships and cruisers fire all of their cannons (Ion/QD), Turrets (Plasma laser), and missiles (Antimatter) at the Aeon hounds and guardians.

Fighters and bombers are dispatched, and begin to harras the Aeon line, and frontal hit and go attacks. They also attempt to draw fire.

The Guardians fire powerful missiles upon the enemy ships as they approach.

The fighters attempt to dodge and shoot the missiles, but quite a few are destroyed in the process. While the guardians are focused on the fighters, the Destroyers Warp in behind them, and begin to perform hit and go attacks by Warping in and out of the area behind them.

Lingur orders the hounds stationed elsewhere on the planet to move behind the NCKU ships for a sneak attack.

The cruisers and battleships of the main fleet sWarm continue their all-out frontal assault on the Aeon line, oblivious of the hounds.

The hounds gather behind the main fleet, far enough away as to be unlikely to appear on radar.

The large group of ships that had gathered behind the enemy fleet suddenly moved toWard the fleet from behind, firing at the enemy ships.

The main NCKU sWarm is taken completely off guard, and several cruisers, MissileBoats, Frigates, and Battleships get critically hit. They either explode, stop moving, or go out of control.

The fleet captain's eyes widen and says "Shit, we won't be able to maintain this for much longer!"

The fleet captain shouts "One last Antimatter Missile barrage, then we are OUT OF HERE."

The ships in the main sWarm fire their barrage, as several ships explode due to damage. The sWarm of Antimatter Missiles head toWards the Aeon line.

Lingur - FIRE AT THOSE MISSILES!

The missiles come under a barrage of Aeon fire, and several get destroyed. However, a few slip past the Aeon line and enter the planet's atmosphere.

Lingur - Oh no... NO!

The Antimatter missiles fly downWards through the planet's atmosphere, until they hit the ground, the majority of them hit some cities.

An antimatter missile crashes right into the center of the city, and creates a bright light, it blinds anyone looking in the general direction.

Right after that, a shock wave reverberates throughout the city, causing windows to shatter and the ground to shake.

High-speed winds followed by a massive explosion follow, causing buildings to fall over and cars to be thrown like toys. Citizens try to flee but end up getting thrown against a wall and then vaporized. Light posts and traffic lights snap like twigs as the massive force of the winds causes them to fall over. Sooner then later, the entire city is enveloped in the explosion, and is soon completely vaporized.

This happens in all 7 cities that are hit, 392 Million People die. However, the capital city and nearby cities are spared.

The fleet captain see's the massive explosions on the planet from his battleship, he smiles and says "Let's get out of here boys, we have spilled enough blood today.".

At that, he orders his fleet to Warp out of the system, and they all do. The fleet took heavy losses, with 720 ships lost.

Lingur flies into a rage and nearly commands his fleet to follow.

But Callanni calms him down.

Lingur - GO AFTER THEM--

Callanni places her hand on Lingur's shoulder.

"We could never survive a battle with them on their turf. We need to come up with a better plan."

Lingur sighs.

"You're right Callanni," he says.

Callanni continues stroking his shoulder.

Lingur Purrs, then gets back in his seat.

Lingur - Awesh, land the ship.

Awesh - Yes, sir.

The Aeons Meet the New Dawn Movement
Overview= ... Dialogue= Five New Dawn Movement destroyers make their patrols along the New Dawn Movement Territories outer-worlds. The lead admiral of the fleet looks boringly at his contact screen, as it just shows green, and nothing else. He sits back and says "Hhnggugh. There has been no activity here for a few hours, and the last contacts we saw were incompetent as hell, perhaps we should just head back to base?"

Suddenly a large fleet came into view.

The lead admiral's head jolts up, as his contact's screen bursts to life, showing a high amount of black dots. The admiral looks forWard and says "The...the hell? These don't look like NCKU ships." He grabs his communicator and flicks it on, he then directs it toWards the lead ship and says "Hello? Hello? This is Admiral Tizaz Fir of the New Dawn Movement Militia Navy, what is your intentions and why do you come here?" The ships in the fleet look different from the normal NCKU white and red, with a crudely painted on blue and yellow paint scheme.

???? - You have attacked our planet and slaughtered our people. Surrender now NCKU, and no one will be hurt.

The admiral has a confused look on his face, as he looks at his tags to make sure he is NDM. He confirms that and says "Err...we are not NCKU, we are from the New Dawn Movement Militia Navy, we are a resistance group that captured a few planets a few months ago. You have the wrong people."

???? - A resistance group?

The admiral says "Yes, we are a resistance group. We captured around 20 planets in this sector a few months ago. We are the New Dawn Movement, the biggest resistance group in the NCKU."

???? - I see.

The admiral has a tense nervous feeling, as he can sense the tension in the air between the two groups.

???? - This is Lingur Wildlight of the Aeoneonatrix Empire, could you direct us to their planets so that we may retaliate against them for their attack?

The admiral shakes his head and says "I'm sorry...but that would be suicide. The only reason why we got these planets is because we took over their Corporate Planetary Legislatures in a storm takeover. The evil that is the NCKU Armed Forces are relentless past these territories, you would not survive, I can guarantee you." He stops for a moment, and says "However, we can arrange a political meeting between our leaders and you.You seem like you could give us some help, because we really need it."

Lingur - We are all too happy to give you the help you need.

The admiral smiles a bit and says "Thank you. Now, do you want to have that meeting with our Head of State? If you don't, I understand, and you can leave. But if you do, that is wonderful news and I will inform her."

Lingur - Of course.

Lingur - Just let me land my ship and I'll meet with her.

The admiral smiles, and taps a few buttons on his communicator, sending a message to the Head of State herself. After a few minutes, he get's a approval notice, and says "Ok, just land on planet Vizicz, and we will take it all from there."

Lingur - Alright.

The admiral says "Right, just follow the coordinates I've just sent you, and you will be there."

Lingur - Alright

Lingur follows the coordinates.

Soon Lingur arrives at planet Vizicz, it looks grey and barren, as if it has been used extensively before and is now on it's last legs.

A frigate approaches Lingur's ship and says "Land at docking bay 5202-Sf"

Lingur - Alright.

Lingur lands at the docking port, and exits his drop-ship. When he walks out, he sees a decrepid bording area, and then suddenly, 5 White Enforcers in Blue and Orange armor approach Lingur, electro-staffs drawn.

Lingur - What is this?

The White Enforcers stop a few inches from Lingur and the lead unit says "Need not fret, we are no longer loyal the NCKU government."

Another one of them says "We will take you to the Head of State." The third one says "Please relinquish all weapons accept for low-power pistols." The last White Enforcer says "Please, follow us."

Lingur hands over his blaster with an irritated face.

The lead White Enforcer says "Thank you. Now once again, please, follow us. We will take you to the drop ship which will take you to the Head of State."

Lingur - Fine.

The group of White Enforcers lead Lingur into a drop ship waiting outside of the Docking Port. The group get's in and flies toWards the Government Center. After a few minutes, the drop ship arrives at the Government Center and lands. The group get's out and the drop-ship takes off, heading toWards a unknown location.

Lingur grumbles to himself "We need to start carrying a trained diplomat on the ship."

The lead White Enforcer says "Follow us, the Head of State's Office is not far from here."

Lingur - Okay.

While on the way to the office. One of the White Enforcers begins to stare deeply at Lingur, his cold white eyes unwavering from his position.

Lingur - Umm... Are you undressing me with your eyes or something?

The White Enforcer calmly says "I know how to kill you in so many ways....So.Many.Ways. We were giving specific training on how to kill Aeoneonatrix, and trust me, I know how to break you right here right now. So many urges...so many murderous urges...But don't worry, I can control myself."

Lingur - I'm sure they do.

The White Enforcers eyes go bloodshot for a few moments, but then turns back to normal, he stops staring at Lingur and continues to walk with the group. Soon enough, the group is at the doors to the office,.

The lead White Enforecer says "We have arrived, I hope you have a pleasant time at the meeting. We'll be watching." Before he opens the door for Lingur.

Lingur walks in.

The office is worn down, and there are half torn down NCKU propaganda posters all over the place. In the middle of the office there is a wooden table, with a beautifully made meal, consisting of Wav Meat and Ilas Fruit. The chairs at the table also seem to be handcrafted. Clafshi notices Lingur enter her office and stands up from behind her desk and says in a calm voice "Hello, Lingur, nice of you to come. I've prepared a meal for you and handcrafted some chairs for this occasion. The old chairs seemed a bit...cold, so I discarded of them." She smiles and says "Once again, welcome!"

Lingur - Thank you, what did you prepare for me?

Clafshi smiles and says "Oh, it's Wav Meat mixed with IIas Fruit. I picked the fruit myself but had to order the Wav Meat, since most wildlife is...dead around here."

Lingur - I'm an herbivore.

Clafshi frowns and says "Oh..I did not know that. I'm terribly sorry."

Lingur - *sigh* It's fine. I'll just let you have the meat.

Clafshi says "Oh, ok. Now, you wanted to have a meeting with me, yes? What do you want to talk about?"

Lingur - Coordinating a joint attack, not necessarily a frontal assault mind you, on the NCKU.

Clafshi - A frontal assault would be suicidal, however, a covert joint attack may work.

Lingur - Indeed. Tell me, does that paint on your ships come off?

On Clafshi's desk, there's a picture of Galak, it seems to have been taken a few years ago. Clafshi looks at Lingur and says "Yes, it does. We did not get enough time to prime it, it should come off with a nice buffering."

Lingur - Excellent.

Clafshi - Now, why do you ask that? br>

Lingur - Err... Because I was asking if they could be used in a covert operation. I'm sorry, I assumed you spoke Military-badass-double-meaning-talk.

Clafshi smiles at the remark and says "No, I'm not a military person, I'm a leader. Even though I may not be the best one, I seem to have been good enough so far. Anyways, that would work great. We could take our paint off and leave the NCKU paint that was painted over on, so we can easily bring them into NCKU territory."

Lingur - Right, now, what would we load them with? *Takes a bite out of the fruit*

Clafshi - We could have our White Enforcers on them, and deploy them into the targeted NCKU planet, where they can cause some real chaos. However, we only have 100 of them, since those were the only ones that defected. They are quite valuable."

Lingur - Heh, I had something more explosive in mind. And because you are not in the Military, I will explain that that means I want to put a bomb in.

Clafshi - Sounds nice, could you please elaborate?

Lingur - We get someone or something expendable, have it drive a ship full of explosives onto one of their planets or stations.

Lingur - Expendable things that can drive ships are in short supply though, can an AI drive one of those ships?

Clafshi - Certainly! We have tons of AI modules that were in surplus Warehouses when we took over.

Lingur - And their programming will not cause them to betray us?

Clafshi - I would not believe so, they are quite easy to program.

Lingur - I see.

Lingur - By the way, may I ask about that picture on your desk?

Clafshi looks at the desk, then back at Lingur. She says "Oh, it's nothing to worry about, I can assure you."

Lingur - Well you won't mind telling me then.

Clafshi sighs, and a wave of slight sadness goes over her face, she says "That's...that's Galak...”

Lingur - The NCKU's leader?

Clafshi - Yes.

Lingur takes on a somewhat accusitory tone, "Why are you in a picture with him?"

Clafshi looks away and says "I'd rather not say."

Lingur - I insist.

Clafshi looks down and says "He's...He's my brother."

Lingur - I see.

Lingur - Would you be willing to kill him to bring down the NCKU?

Clafshi - Yes, of course...he's too far gone now to be saved. Killing him would be a act of mercy...you know, he was not always the cold-hearted tyrant he is now.

Lingur - I'm vaguely aWare of the old Krickan Union.

Lingur - Still, elaborate.

Clafshi - After the Tyranny destroyed the New Federal Vilerg Council, which destroyed the Krickan Union, Galak escaped from his old prison and survived. He soon found me, and told me he wanted to bring the Krickan Union back to it's former glory, so he started a corporation on the wasteland planets of our former territories.

Clafshi - He wished to soon unite the planets once more with the power of that corporation, and bring up a small-government utopia, just what our forefathers wanted. However, some thing went...Wrong.

Lingur - What?

Clafshi begins to tear up at this point, she says "Galak visited a former industrial world, and was going to give a speech on why the citizens should trust in the corporation. But, on his way on the planet, he contracted Severe Mercury Poisoning from getting to close to a former Industrial Waste Depository. He fell ill, and quickly came back to me, where I tended to him.

Clafshi - Day after day, his mind slipped. He soon had trouble thinking rationally, and soon forgot who I was. I had to remind him constantly about things, day after day...Then one day, he left, I did not see him for months after that.

Lingur - And the next time you saw him...

Clafshi - He was rolling tanks into our shanty town, escorted by his thugs and gunships. They began to burn it, screaming about the "Great Rebirth." I tried to reason with him, but all he did was beat me away, and threw me in a ditch while I was unconscious. When I woke up, the entire shanty town was destroyed, and all of my friends were dead.

Lingur - I see.

Lingur - If it's possible, I'd like to speak with the head of your military, if there is such a person, about this attack.

Clafshi - Fine, just....Just go.

Lingur - One more question. On the off chance the moment of truth comes, how do I know you'll be able to kill him?

Clafshi - I won't, because It would be physically impossible. He's preparing himself...preparing himself for the Great Showing, and when he's ready...I don't know what will happen.

Lingur - Though I'd like to know more about this showing, I think you know what i mean. How do I know you'll be willing to give the death order on your brother?

Clafshi - Yes, I would, purely out of Mercy.

Lingur - Mercy?

Clafshi - I know his rational self is still in there, somewhere. He is only corrupted, corrupted by insanity.

Clafshi - I also know that his rational self is being tortured, tortured everyday by his internal chaos.

Lingur - Why? Isn't it easier to believe that he's fully insane?

Clafshi - I refuse to believe that, I pray to the White Dragon that there is still a tiny shred of him left, that he is not fully lost.

Lingur - I see. Tell me, who is this "white dragon?"

Clafshi - He is the being that holds watch over our planet, Mariamar, and is waiting to be reawakened. When the Great Showing comes, Galak will attempt to reawaken the dragon. Whoever awakens the dragon programs the dragon with their ideals, if Galak got to the dragon...It would be nothing short of apocalypse.

Lingur - I see. Is this thing's existence verified?

Clafshi - Yes, it is. Millenia ago, when our forefathers came to Mariamar, they met the White Dragon. The White Dragon helped them shaped the world the way it is today, and eventually they put away, under the crust of Mariamar near the core. The only thing holding the White Dragon back now is a computer that runs on a TEXT BASIC OS Computer, the only thing is we don't know where the computer actually is on Mariamar.

Lingur - How soon is Galak likely to get it? You make it sound like it should be our most imminent priority.

Two White Enforcers appear out of nowhere, and stand next to Lingur, one of them says "We don't know. Not even we knew, nobody knows, we are not even sure if Galak himself knows sometimes." The other one says "However, when he splits his soul, and nestles it into the hands of Insanity, that is when he will awaken the White Dragon, but we don't know when that will happen either."

Clafshi looks Lingur in the eye and says "Considering NCKU tech, I really don't know. Maybe a month, maybe 5 months...we all don't know."

Lingur - I see.

Clafshi - But...if Galak reaches the White Dragon before us...the whole Katar Sector could be at risk, and I mean a tear in time, space, and reality destruction.

Clafshi - At least in the Watchta Subsector, we don't know if it would go beyond that.

Lingur - I see. I more and more want to speak to the head of your military, can you bring me to them?

Clafshi - Certainly, the head of our Militia is Vice Admiral Wizk Clank, he's about as insane as Galak, due to a certain...incident. But he means good, and is fairly smart.

Lingur - I see. I'd like to speak to him.

Clafshi - Certainly...He should be at the Government Center Security Head Quarters.

Lingur - Alright then, may I have someone lead me to him. Someone who DOESN'T look at me like a dog looks at a fresh juicy steak perhaps?

A White Enforcer plops his heavy hand on Lingur's shoulder and says in a monotone voice "I will take you to him."

Lingur - Which Is why I mentioned that part about someone who does not look like he wants to eat me.

The White Enforcer squeezes his hand and says "I.WILL.TAKE.YOU.TO.HIM." Clafshi silently says "Go with him, it will make him content."

Lingur - Alright, I guess I don't mind being food porn all that much.

Clafshi - Ok, well, it was nice seeing you Lingur. Hopefully we will see each other again.

Lingur - Indeed.

Clafshi bows slightly and says "Saf'kla Wivlak" before the White Enforcer brings him out of the office, and closes the door.

Lingur walks down the hall with the white enforcer.

Lingur - So how tasty DO I look to you?

Clafshi slumps back in her chair after the pair leave the room, and begins to weep about Galak and what happened to her dear brother.

The White Enforcer turns and says "You do not look tasty, at all. Oh, and you just broke Clafshi's heart."

Lingur - I know... but those were questions I needed to ask.

The White Enforcer says "You could have been gentler...Haha...Funny, me saying "Could have been gentler," Haha."

Lingur - I admit, I'm bad at gentle.

Lingur - But seriously, the last one eyed me up and talked about his "urges" to kill me. It was unbelievably creepy, and yet oddly flattering, but mostly creepy.

The White Enforcer looks down at Lingur and says "I don't blame him, it's not his fault, really. We were trained for 5 months on how to kill your kind, from neck breaking to liver bursting. They implanted hate into us, the hate of your kind. Some of us have not gotten over that hate, and fight the urges to kill."

Lingur - I see.

The two walk through the halls of the Government Center, until they reach the Government Center Security HQ, and they step inside.

The White Enforcer looks around and says "Wivz should be here, somewhere..."

Wivz sneaks behind the two, and comes up close behind him, he shouts "HERE I AM MOTHERFUCKER!" into Lingur's ear.

Lingur - What the hell?

The White Enforcer turns around quickly, and says "May I introduce you, this is Wivz, the mentally disturbed Vice Admiral."

Lingur - I can see that.

Lingur - Seriously though, may we get down to business?

Wivz steps back a bit, and says "I'm not mentally disturbed, I just have extra character, hehehe..." He then jolts his head to Lingur and says "Yes, Clafshi radioed me about you. You want to help me fuck the NCKU, yes?"

Lingur - Yes.

Wivz throws his hands in the air and shouts "OH, THAT'S GREAT!" before calming down, and saying "Now, please elaborate on your plans again, I want to hear them myself, please."

Lingur - Well to some extent I wanted to discuss it with you. My plan is to get that paint off of the NCKU ships you use and send them into their territory packed with explosives.

Wivz eyes narrow and says "You better give me a good fucking reason on why we should waste ships like that, if you mean using them as suicide bombers. We have few ships right now, due to them being all stolen. So tell me, What would your targets be, WHAT ARE YOUR TARGETS."

Lingur - Well I was hoping to use some of your intel to help me select a target. By the way, if you have a problem with ship supply, we'd be more than happy to send you some.

Wivz is now staring at Lingur and says "Fwoa...fwoa...fwoa..." before snapping out of it and saying "Well, there is a ship manufacturing base right outside of our borders."

Lingur - Regardless, do you want us to supply you?

Wivz is now facing the complete opposite direction and says "Well, we could use some weapons and ammunition, along with some armor and stuff. However, with the ship situation, we will just have to reverse engineer the NCKU ones. Because, they are pretty top of the line in this sector, although a bit tricky to handle."

Lingur - Alright then, we'll send you what you need. By the way, about how many ships do you have total?

Wivz is still talking to the wall and says "We have around 2,000...Against their 82,000."

Lingur - I see. Well you don't make it sound like you couldn't use our help in that department.

Wivz scowls a bit and says "Fine, we could use some ships from you. BUT DON'T FUCK IT UP. Wait...in matter of fact, I'll send you a schematic of the NCKU ships, so you can reverse engineer them, fuck yeah?"

Lingur - Fuck yeah.

Wivz rushes toWards a filing cabinet, and begins to throw papers around from it. He then takes out a group of blueprints and instructions, and hands it to Lingur.

Lingur - Thanks.

Wivz does a slight bow and says ".emoclew e'ruoY"

 Lingur - Huh?

Wivz has a slightly agitated look on his face and says "I said, You're Welcome."

Lingur - Well thank you for that too. Now, do you know of any places that could use a good bombing?

Wivz jumps up for no reason and says "Well, there is a ship manufacturing plant orbiting around planet SHI- I mean Shav, I'll give you the coordinates."

Lingur - That sounds like something you might want to take for yourself rather than destroy.

Wivz - That would mean capturing the planet, friend. With the NCKU, it's either take or destroy, not capture. Unless...you have some SEVERE firepower behind you."

Wivz - When I mean take, I mean wittle scraps.

Lingur - Where did you get these 20 planets then?

Wivz - URAHH. I thought Clafshi would have told you! We stormed the Corporate Planet Legislatures, and turned the Planetary defenses against the space fleets, forcing them to fall back.

Wivz - NCKU Ground troups are fwoa...fwoa..fwoa, incompetent, so they were easy to own.

Lingur - I see.

Wivz - Now, about those coordinates.

Wivz takes out his datapad, and turns it on. It turns on to a very odd movie, and Wivz slams the "CLOSE" button on the tablet. He remarks "You saw nothing." The White Enforcer, who is standing behind Wivz says "You are morally disturbed."

Lingur - Err.

Wivz gives Lingur a contorted smile, and then looks back down on his tablet. He says "Uhh, can you give me the number to your communicator...or whatever you call it."

Lingur - Sure, 20539603

Wivaz taps a few things on his tablet, and foWards the cords to Lingur's communicator. However, Lingur's communicator begins to act a bit weird after he does that.

Lingur - Huh?

Lingur's communicator's screen begins to flicker. Even though it shows the sent coordinates on the screen, it begins to play a sexually suggestive song.

Wivz smiles and says "Woops...I think I sent you a virus."

Lingur - What the... Do you have any dea how much this thing cost me you little...

Suddenly, Lingur's communicator began ringing.

Wivz looks at Lingur and says "What's that?

Lingur - That's my girlfri... science officer.

Wivz is about to say something, but the White Enforcer slams his palm into Wivz's face, causing him to be pushed back.

Lingur - Yes hello, sure, sure, yes tonight is good, flogeberry ple-Wait, no that's just a virus in my-- No I don't listen to that sort of music. Callanni, you know that i'd never-- it was the head of the Military he-- because he's crazy. Yes, yes, thank you Callanni. I love you too. Goodbye. Oh, and tell Awesh I have no idea what "headset larking" is.

Lingur - Sorry about that.'

Wivz sits in a corner, chuckling a bit.

Lingur glares at him.

Wivz - I hope I didn't cause any troubles for you and your'e sweet sounding gi-

The White Enforcer muffles his face again, preventing him from saying what he is about to say.

Lingur - She believes me. Now, I've taken note of these coordinates. You will receive a bill for my new communicator.

The White Enforcer looks at Lingur and says nothing, but stares at him.

Wivz stands back up and says "Ok, and I will false divert it toWards Clafshi's banking account."

Lingur - Whatever. So, I'll send you the supplies you need, as well as the explosives for that attack, if you're game for it.

Wivz - Thank you, fuck yeah.

Lingur - Alright then, I'll be going.

Lingur began walking toWard the door.

Outside the door, there is a box laying outside. It has a tag on it that says "Lingur."

Lingur sees it and opens it.

Inside the box, is a brand new Military Grade Communicator, made inside the NDM Territories. There is a note beneath the communicator.

Lingur reads the note.

The note reads "Dear Lingur, I'm sorry about Wivz's behavior, although I did not expect much of him. So, here's a new communicator to make up for your property loss. Sincerely, Clafshi P.S - I double redirected the charge toWards Wivz's account."

Lingur - Well thank you.

From inside the office you can hear Wivz shout "WHAT THE FUCK." due to his bank account being charged.

Lingur smiles, and puts the communicator in his pocket and went on back to the Vengeance.

Unconventional Allies
Overview= To be added Dialouge= The War Room was dark. The sources of light being along the edges of the floor, computer screens around the edges of the large room, and a massive blue hologram of the Katar Sector reaching up to the second story of the room. Several officials; Admirals, Fleet Captains, Generals, sat around the table with papers or datapads in there hands ready to discuss phase two of the operation against the NCKU. Among them was Fleet Captain Urus, a high-ranking DEF commander that is now leading the charge against the NCKU. Within minutes the table was hot with debate, all where up from there seats, save for one Commodore, deep in thought. Finally, after half an hour of constant debate from the others, he stood up out of the dark;

"May I suggest something?" He spoke in a smooth, level voice. As if calculating each syllable. The others turned toWards him, the room was more or less silent, besides the distant humming of computer fans and the quiet chatter of personnel.

The Commodore cleared his voice, and spoke in the same calculated tone;

"I suggest we take full use of The Plague. If we deploy the missiles on the NCKU's outer worlds, then they would be left in a state of chaos trying to quarantine the undead masses." He took a pause, scanning the faces of the others, they where disturbed at least, straight out furious at worst. Urus maintained a rather concerned expression; At both the strategy's reliability, and at the Commodore's questionable methods. The Commodore continued;

"There quarantine will break, and The Plague will wreak havoc on there territory. Making movement within there territory nearly-impossible. In addition they would waste there armed forces trying to contain the outbreak." He sat back down, allowing the others to digest his plan. He knew they'd disagree at first. The Brass, anyone for that matter, rarely see the brutal efficency of his tactics.

"Before they realize that sometimes you just have to counter bad with worse to shut the enemy up." He thought.

And as the Commodore predicted, one General stood up, a disgusted look on his face;

"You can't be serious!" He continued;

"Even if we could get the clearence-" He was cut off by another;

"He has a point, it would be deadly effective-"

"But is it worth millions of innocent lives!?" The other exclaimed. Urus simply stood silent, deeply disturbed. Not only by the tactic, not only because the undead are the anathema to the Drodo and as it is believed to life itself, he was disturbed most by how efficent, how morbidly brilliant the tactic was. It was, after all, his call on what they where to do at the end of the day, and it seemed that no one else (including himself) had any other ideas. He was about to make the call when a General that left a few minutes before walked into the room with a file folder;

"Perhaps we could work toWards a more... Shall I say, civilized path before doing anything too brash?" He said with a slight accent. He slapped the folder in front of the Fleet Captain before returning to his seat. Urus carefully took the papers out of the folder to examine them, taken out of his thoughts;

"They're NCKU intellegence reports on the New Dawn Movement. I believe it may be a good move to contact them." The General said over the table.

Urus thought for a moment;

"New Dawn, eh? I heard a bit about them." He took a metal stick folded up with joints and rolled it out to a stick about two metres long. Despite its length it was surprisingly light and easy to handle. The Fleet Captain stood up and walked up to the massive holographic projection at the centre of the War-room;

"Computer, display Watchta Subsector." Urus said to nothing in particular. The large holographic display zoomed into a small part of the sector, more stars came into view as the area was populated with systems and areas of interest. a three-dimensional political map phased into view as well, colour-coding star systems and drawing rough lines around the territory. It wasn't much to look at, however. As there was one bubble of red space and star systems with the letters "NCKU" over it. Urus raised an eyebrow, panning the map around with the metal rod, but seeing no systems bearing the name and colour of this "New Dawn Movement".

"Mind telling me where it is?" Urus said slightly jokingly turning back to the others;

The other general stood up and grabbed several papers, outlining its location. Urus nodded;

"I see." He passed the papers to an officer;

"Be sure to get this information into the database." He folded the metal rod back up and tossed it onto the table;

"So I suppose its settled? We contact this New Dawn Movement and see if we can't strike a deal-" The Fleet Captain was interrupted by the Commodore, which was listening this entire time, formulating a counter-argument no doubt;

"Sir, I don't think the NCKU government will wait for us. They'll strike us down while we're trying to strike a deal with this rabble!" This soon became the subject of debate.

Back to square one. Urus thought.

"Order! Order!" The Fleet Captain yelled over the din. He wasn't a man to raise his voice, but when he did, it was sure to catch the attention of anyone and everyone.

"The way I see it, the NCKU is still reeling from the loss of the CUS worlds, they had a good part of there military there anyway." He said, leaning over the table;

"I say we prevent colladeral damage and at least Warn these people before dropping the bombs." He added. The Commodore sat back down in his chair, slightly discouraged, but more or less confident that is plan was to be initiated;

"Very well..." He responded. Urus stood up straight;

"Good."

Urus looked about the room, "All in favor?"

Most of the room agreed to the plan. Urus said one last thing before the room filed out;

"Then it is settled. We are to make an unconventional ally, indeed."
