Fiction talk:Andromeda War/The Darkest Hour

 *Everyone was called to Alcanti to discuss the Grox situation. The various factions who had come to gether were guided to a tactical chamber deep inside the imeprial palace. There, Uriel, Larnus and Tarsus were waiting.* [22:54]  *Tyraz materialized within the chamber in his usual fashion, with black energy manifesting in some corner of the room and forming into his own body. He stepped out from the darkness and nodded at the Draconis.* [22:54]  Tyraz - I hope I am not late, my lords. [22:55]  *the three of them were looking at a tactical holographic map, the room was guarded by Blood Dragons standing at the walls* [22:55]  General Kamaska - *Walks through the door and looks around the room.* Hmm. Impressive. *Approaches holo-map.* [22:55]  Uriel - You are not late. [22:55]  The Divinarium's delegation emerged from a shimmering gateway: Iovera, Ma'fest, Andorrus and Matheoward. [22:56]  Iovera - Greetings, allies and ...friends. [22:56]  Tyraz - Greetings, miss Iovera. It is...nice to see you...again. [22:57]  *Several DCP offocils and Kilnok teleport from the subatomic level and up* [22:57]  Larnus - Uriel, while you and the other highlords were relaxing, we have been encountering bigger problems. [22:57]  Matheoward looked at Tyraz and smirked. [22:57]  General Kamaska - *Stares intently at holo-map.* [22:58]  Kilnok - Tyraz (I bet they have met), Iovera. It's been some time. [22:58]  Tyraz - Ah Kilnok, indeed it has. I am honoured you remember me. [22:58]  Tarsus - These Grox. Their void-damned plague is spreading... [22:59] <LotG> Tyraz - I know. I was there when I lost a planet to them. [22:59] <Shalonar> Matheoward - General and warlord of the DCP, it is an honour to meet you. I believe my mentor knew you in person. [22:59] <Atamolos> General Kamaska - *Looks up.* Indeed. The plague is spreading rather quickly. [22:59] <Wormy> Kilnok - Indeed, we fought together. [23:00] <Shalonar> Iovera - The plague is deadly. I was present during one of the battles... [23:00] <Wormy> Kilnok - If his training was as good as his skills, I'm sure you are too. [23:00] <Monet> Uriel - *nods* Kilnok. While I am honoured that a man of your reputation graces my halls, we have a deteriorating problem. [23:01] <Shalonar> Matheoward - *looks at his hammer* I have inherited my teacher's weapon. *swings it* And may our enemies beware! [23:01] <Wormy> DCP Official - You may or may not be aware. But the Mechovirus is also in the Milky Way, it almost wiped out the Jovar and seems to be capable of assimilating individuals without injection. [23:02] <Atamolos> Kamaska - I'm sorry to interrupt your introductions, but we have much more pressing matters to attend to. [23:02] <Shalonar> Matheoward - Problem? Problem? There is no problem that can't be solved with our guns. *laughs* [23:02] <Shalonar> Ma'fest - Heretic barbarian brute... [23:02] <Monet> Tarsus - If the academny's predictions are correct, Andromeda could fall completely to the plague as it spreads exponentially. So far there is no effective way to coutner it. [23:02] <LotG> Tyraz - The virus has claimed many Zazane lives, and it has meant that my own Kordalu have betrayed me. So long as the Grox remain active, we have traitors here in Andromeda as well as a virus. [23:03] <Shalonar> Andorrus - And, professor? Are we here to make amends and await death? [23:03] <Shalonar> *our death [23:03] <Monet> Tarsus - You are all lucky we may have found a potential answer. [23:04] <LotG> Tyraz - Potential answer? What do you mean, lord Tarsus? [23:04] <Atamolos> Kamaska - It may be necessary to- *Looks up with surprise* poential answer? [23:04] <Shalonar> Andorrus - Hm... yes, yes. Tell me more. I am intrigued... [23:05] <Monet> *Tarsus works the console and several transalted records appear, the words float in the middle of the room* [23:06] <Monet> Tarsus - Apaprently there is an artificial material that could solve our problems. The problem is, we cannot find a way to synthesise it. [23:06] <Atamolos> Kamaska - What is it, exactly? [23:07] <LotG> Tyraz - Perhaps DCP science could help with the science effort. [23:08] <Monet> Uriel - According to the records, not even the Four could create large enough samples. [23:09] <Atamolos> Kamaska - Quantity is sometimes a luxury we cannot afford. We must do the best that we can. [23:09] <Wormy> DCP - We are anaylising the samples now. [23:10] <Wormy> (Nobody knows how) [23:10] <Atamolos> Kamaska - *Downloads to small handheld device.* I'm sure this will be useful in the future. [23:10] <Wormy> DCP - We have our ways. [23:10] <Shalonar> Iovera - I'm sorry, I am not exactly adept at Andromedan history. Does it mean the Mechovirus is as old as the ancient Andromedans? [23:10] <Monet> Tarsus - *nods begrudgeingly* [23:10] <Atamolos> Kamaska - *Looks up at the mention of ancients* [23:10] <LotG> Tyraz - What about the Grox? They created it? [23:11] <Atamolos> Kamaska - The Grox are billions of years old. It is quite a possibility. [23:12] <Monet> Tarsus - Of these records are correct, there might be a solution: A specific rogue planet could be the answer to what we need. [23:13] <Atamolos> Kamaska - I'm glad to have come, but I must report this information to Federation High Command. *Teleports back to ship* [23:13] <Atamolos> I have to go. Bye. [23:13] == Atamolos [adaf3493@gateway/web/qwebirc/irc.wikia.com/ip.173.175.52.147] has quit [Quit: Wikia webchat: http://irc.wikia.com/] [23:13] <LotG> Tyraz - Rogue planet? How would that provide any answers? Surely no life exists on them. [23:13] <Shalonar> Andorrus - Do we have any information about this planet? Geographic data or anything else? [23:14] <Monet> Tarsus - Not true, lord breek. I have seen evidence that life can flourish, just in a different way. [23:14] <Shalonar> Andorrus - Ah, I am sorry for not introducing myself. My name is Andorrus Anarath, Supreme Autarch of the Divinarium, Her Holiness' first advisor. [23:16] <Shalonar> Iovera - Are you talking about... the natural laws being broken? My people know full well about such things [23:16] <Shalonar>. [23:16] <Monet> Tarsus - Deeper study into ancient archives have given us some idea of where to look. There are indicators of what this planet is like, but I am sceptical of the truth. [23:17] <LotG> Tyraz - If it is truth, it should be easy enough. We have many fleets and soldiers. Finding the potential cure would be easy. [23:18] <Monet> Tarsus - *sighs* Forgive me for sounding highly doubtful. But we -are-pinning our hopes on records made millions of years ago. [23:18] <Shalonar> Andorrus - Do we have any samples of a cure? [23:19] <LotG> Tyraz - My people are many millions of years old. Have we failed you yet, Uriel? [23:19] <Monet> Uriel - We're not even sure if this planet still exists. [23:20] <Monet> Tarsus - Then there is this... *after activating the console a voice record plays* | AI - It seems like the entire planet has turned against us, as there is some kind of eldritch will behind the every creature, every tree, every lifeform. Nevertheless, I must find the liquid. I must find the cure. [23:20] <LotG> Tyraz - What? Whose voice is that? [23:21] <Monet> Tarsus - Their name is lost to history, but whoever they were, they were on the same goal as us. [23:22] <LotG> Tyraz - Its only a few millions years. A planet wouldn't have disappeared since then. [23:22] <Shalonar> Iovera - There must be essence present on this world. If it is alive, then who knows how old it might be. [23:23] <Monet> Tyraz - I never like uncertainties. We were able to recover a potential locatino from the records. [23:23] <Monet> Tarsus* [23:26] <Wormy> DCP - Analysis of the substance has been inconclusive. It may not be ordinary atomic matter, butr how it targets the Mechovirus and doesn't affect the body we cannot determine. It may well be, essence in solid form. [23:26] <Monet> Tarsus - For all we know the planet could have diverted course, plunged into a star, bathed itself in a gamma ray burst, wandered into the great barrier (arachdemon's wall) or swallowed by a singularity. [23:26] <Shalonar> Andorrus - ...Location? Tell us more please. [23:27] <Shalonar> Iovera - Essence in solid form?. [23:27] <Shalonar> *?... [23:29] <Wormy> DCP - If the substance is essence, or essence-influenced, then a whole world of it could be sensed by a powerful psionic. [23:32] <Shalonar> Iovera stepped forth. [23:32] <Shalonar> Iovera - I... I could try. [23:33] <LotG> Tyraz - Are you serious, Iovera? I could try myself, but... [23:33] <Monet> Tarsus - It may be our only chance... [23:33] <Wormy> DCP - We should use multiple people. [23:33] <Shalonar> "..." combo [23:33] <Wormy> To increase accuracy [23:33] <Shalonar> Dur [23:34] <Shalonar> Iovera - Give me the sample, please... [23:34] <LotG> Tyraz - I can be of some use with psychic powers. Zazane, after all, use psychic power to control their bleeding from wounds and how fast they regenerate. [23:35] <Wormy> DCP - We can devote several psychic soldiers. [23:35] <Monet> Tarsus - *nods and hands Iovera a reinforced canister containing the liquid* [23:35] <Wormy> Kilnok - I do not have essence powers, but I know someone who is powerful enough to help... The Emperor himself. [23:36] <LotG> Tyraz - Wait, you mean Lord Wormulus II? [23:36] <Wormy> Kilnbok - Aye [23:36] <Wormy> *Kilnok [23:39] <Shalonar> Iovera - Will he come here, to us? [23:40] <Wormy> Kilnok - He is coming as I speak, he should be here within hours. [23:40] <LotG> Tyraz - The Emperor himself is coming? Since when was he interested with the AGC? [23:41] <Monet> Tarsus - Our joint expedition has probably peeked his interest. [23:42] <Wormy> Kilnok - Such is our technology that I was telling the Emperor as I proposed his help. [23:42] <Wormy> And of course, tachyon drives are very fast. [23:43] <Wormy> DCP - The Mechovirus is in our galaxy too. We want it eradicated. [23:43] <LotG> Tyraz - It seems we have a common goal. [23:44] <Wormy> DCP - Only 20% of the Jovar remain. Like the Nanohorde crisis, this mechovirus is spreading by itself, assimilating some, destroying others. [23:45] <Monet> uriel - *leans on the table * I -hate- swarms... [23:46] <Shalonar> Iovera - Lord Ultanos? [23:46] <LotG> Tyraz - The Brood has fleets dedicated to keeping planetary control and assault. Would it be wise to send some if the planet does still exist? [23:47] <Monet> Uriel - *he drew his claws in slightly, scratching the table and the back of his lips curled upwards. His eyes narrowed* [23:48] <Wormy> DCP official - I think it would be wiser if we send minimal forces. [23:48] <Wormy> We cannot risk detection. [23:48] <Shalonar> Iovera - I understand. The Grox are in your home, too. [23:49] <Shalonar> Matheoward - Having forces to strike is required, but first we should know WHERE should we strike. [23:51] <Monet> Uriel - *mutters* I never had a chance... he died and I did nothing... [23:51] <LotG> Tyraz - Uriel, something you want to share? [23:52] <Wormy> Kilnbok -The Locust swarm? [23:52] <Wormy> *Kilnok [23:52] <Monet> Uriel - I watched people, cities, planets, all of it devoured by swarms of nanites. My own brother died because of them... [23:53] <Monet> larnus - Forgive Uriel, a war we suffered many years ago is still strong in his mind. *sighs* I don't think he will ever forget... [23:54] <LotG> Tyraz - I cannot say I share your sadness, I never liked my family. But if you don't man up Uriel and stop dwelling on the past, you will lose your children, your wife, comrades, and perhaps your race! [23:55] <Monet> Uriel - If it means an end to this plague than I will join the expedition. [23:56] <Monet> Personally! [23:58] <Shalonar> Matheoward - I understand you, lord Ultanos. I witnessed wars too. My darkest experience was during the Holy Shadow War... [23:58] <LotG> Tyraz - Do not bring up that war! *he draws his Firesword and points it at Matheoward* [23:59] <Shalonar> Matheoward - I saw necrotic fiends tearing my comrades turning them into more of their kind, all ruled by this... abomination. MOXIX. [23:59] <Shalonar> *Matheoward drew his hammer and met eye to eye to Tyraz* [23:59] <Wormy> Kilnok - We will not end this crisis recollecting the past. [00:00] <Shalonar> Iovera - Indeed... [00:01] <Shalonar> Ma'fest - You, two! I won't allow violence in this room, brutes. [00:01] <Monet> Uriel - *pants* KIlnok is right. How long before the emperor arrives? [00:01] <LotG> *Tyraz growls, but he withdraws his sword and looks away* Tyraz - It is Zazane way to be brutal. Better than being cowardly. [00:01] <Wormy> % minuites. He is within range to send a virtual representation. [00:01] <Wormy> *5 [00:03] <Monet> Larnus - Good. [00:04] <Wormy> *5 mins pass* [00:04] <Wormy> *Emperor Wormulus II materialises* [00:05] <Monet> Uriel - *bows* Your majesty, I welcome you to Alcanti. [00:05] <LotG> *Tyraz turns and kneels, his head down* Tyraz - Lord Wormulus II, it is an honour to meet you in the flesh. [00:05] <Wormy> Emperor - Nice to meet you all. However, you do not need to bow. [00:06] <LotG> Tyraz - Please, you deserve such respect from me and my race, especially after the events of the DCP Civil War. [00:08] <Shalonar> Iovera froze seeing the Emperor's might. [00:08] <Wormy> Emperor - The DCP acknowldges it. For now, we must all look forward to an ordered future. [00:08] <Wormy> I'm sure they've met lol [00:08] <Shalonar> Iovera - Glad to see you. Clericarch Iovera Eolania. [00:09] <Wormy> The emperor and Kilnok are surprisingly humbled and reserved like Shaolin monks [00:10] <Shalonar> *I am [00:11] <Monet> Uriel - We all know waht is at stake. Shall we proceed? [00:11] <Shalonar> Iovera - I have given all my efforts for giving my species a new life, Emperor. Radeons are no longer a dying race. [00:12] <Wormy> Emperor - *telepathically to not interupt* you have done well. To Uriel vocally - Indeed. [00:13] <Wormy> (Maybe everyone enters deep meditation to locate Nocturnia?) [00:15] <Shalonar> Yeah [00:16] <Shalonar> Iovera - *makes a vial of the mechovirus cure float in the center of the room, gazing upon it in deep thoughts. [00:16] <Wormy> Emperor - *Begins to chant a mantra and observes it objectively.* [00:17] <LotG> Tyraz - *he leans his head down and his wings wrap around himself, black energy manifesting from his body* [00:18] <Wormy> Kilnok - Closes his eyes out of respect [00:18] <Shalonar> Iovera - Eolania... dei'nar cyredrae'nai... [00:18] <Monet> *the Draconis stand back and watch, the inquisitors spring to mind within their heads* [00:18] <Wormy> Emperor - *Begins to channel his moment of "now" with the energy of the universe, seeking meaning* [00:21] <Wormy> DCP psychic soldiers - *join the fray*  "everobody begins to levitate* [00:22] <Shalonar> *A strange psychic apparition appears in the room* [00:24] == Shalonar has changed nick to ImpyKindaZZZ [00:24] <Monet> *The Draconis look at the group curiously* [00:25] <Wormy> Kilnok - *Feels a trickle of cool energy go down his spine and meet in his heated center, forming crackling energy to be released, never feeling essence inside before he is surprised* [00:25] <LotG> Tyraz - Hmm... [00:28] <ImpyKindaZZZ> *A cyan orb appears, orbitting the galaxy then vanishing in space slowly* [00:29] <ImpyKindaZZZ> After some time, the image begins to crack and shake a cyan own reemerges, taking its old place [00:30] <ImpyKindaZZZ> Suddenly, the orb was gone, replaced by pictures of huge mountains and dark forests filled with strange creatures. [00:31] <Monet> (can this be seen by everyone or only psychics?) [00:31] == Atamolos [adaf3493@gateway/web/qwebirc/irc.wikia.com/ip.173.175.52.147] has joined #illarion [00:32] == Liquid_Ink [79d2d805@gateway/web/freenode/ip.121.210.216.5] has joined #illarion [00:32] <Wormy> With beings like the Emperor, Tyraz, Iovera and Uriel it woudn't surprise me if everyone could [00:32] <Monet> Uriel's not special. he's only named after a supernatural creature. [00:33] <Monet> It's funny how he's one of the few mortals i nthe room. [00:34] <Wormy> Meh, they're all mortal in my books [00:35] <Monet> Uriel - ...Can you see anything? [00:35] <Wormy> Kilnok - Yes... And feel it too. I've felt essence hit me before, but not my own. [00:37] <Wormy> Kilnok - That looks like it's near the Archedemon wall... [00:37] <Wormy> Kilnok - But where [00:37] <Monet> Uriel - Arsac, an inwuistor, told me how anyone can become like them with hime and patience. [00:38] <Monet> time* [00:39] <Atamolos> Can I rejoin? [00:40] <ImpyKindaZZZ> full zzzzz [00:42] <Atamolos> Hello? [00:42] <Monet> Not sure. all the psychic characters have gathered in a circle. [00:43] <Atamolos> Hmm [00:48] <Monet> Maybe we can continue this later? [00:48] <Wormy> I don't mind, we shouls save this though [00:49] <Wormy> Shall I put it as hidden text on the Andromed war page? [00:50] <Monet> Yeah, that way we all know where to look.
