An Offer of Trade[]
Many of you may know about the existence of the Zalax Ascendancy. To those that do not, they were the fathers of Eupheric civilization. They were the greatest civilization in our known history, and may have very well been the greatest civilization within the Gigaquadrant in their time. They fell a long time ago, but they left behind many artifacts, settlements, and ruins.
Despite their reach, they were still a Eupheric civilization. It is only right that we, their descendants and a Eupheric civilization ourselves, protect their remains from those that would exploit their ruins and their remains. It is a shame that so much potential must go unwasted.
To those souls whose territories harbor the same former territories of the Zalax, we have a proposition.
In return for us establishing a military presence on the notable installations and ruins of the Zalax within your territory, as well as a research expedition of our own to each of these remains, we will personally see to the establishment of trade routes, and the exportation of raw materials, starships, weapons, and alloys, to your empires. We will personally see to the arming of your militaries, and if need be, come to your defence in thanks for your cooperation.
Republics Warning[]
People of the Gigaquadrant.. We come with a message, a message of anger, your filthy kind has seeped its veins into our home galaxy, so we plan to sink our fangs in chunks of yours, some may call us fiends, and others call us corrupt, but what they will know is that you who do not submit, will face the same consequences as those who speak ill of our names and slander our good will. We shall be coming to your galaxies, and youd best not stand in our way..

Children of Spode- Rise![]
Heed my words! I know for thousands of years that you have been utterly mistreated by heretics and nonbelievers! That you yearn for another golden age! That you wish that your brothers and sisters and cousins and relatives will unite once again! Fear no more! Spodia will protect all whom worship Spode!
THE YORCHI UNION DID. PERHAPS IT'S NOT AS BULLSHIT AS YOU MAY THINK, HM?
WE NEED YOUR HELP.[]
Our population, along with our culture and independence, is being completely destroyed by an entire misunderstanding. Recently, an Exterrammian terrorist group, which is no way supported or affiliated with the United Legion of Exterrammian States, attacked and cracked the Mutyplian moon of Mortexplyia. Estimates put the death toll at anywhere from 3-4 billion. We have repeatedly explained this to the United Republic of Grubmolians, however they have refused to accept any gifts or supplies we have sent. The Grubmolians have committed horrible atrocities against our people and have refused to accept peace negotiations. Nearly 100 of our worlds have been cracked, and thousands to millions of people have been killed because of a fit of rage.

Understood. Our trade ships are on our way.
A Greeting from the Tricherus[]
We came from the Krothul Galaxy, a rather chaotic place. We want to start trading with you and will accept any trade offers. We can trade anything from technology to consumer goods to energy. Speaking of technology, we are masters in biology and much of our technology involves gene-editing and other biological technologies. Anyways, we look forwards to new relationships!
So, what do you say?
Template:Msg/Vanara Houses
Well, natural evolution is a strange thing indeed, but let's not forget that coincidences can happen, look at the Koalians for example, same thing. Anyways, do you want to trade with us?
Template:Msg/Vanara Houses
Fine, I guess prejudice based on appearance is part of your culture, but I won't judge.

Awakening of the Purity[]
Races of the First Gigaquadrant, we have finally been awakened from our deep slumber, what was made possible by the Oculeen. Therefore, as a sign of gratitude, they are given the Sign of Purity. We are sorry for the chaos caused by our Probes, the problem laid in a small data corruption in 1000-AK's code. It is now corrected and the Probes are being repaired and recycled.
We are the Purity, we follow the Doctrine of Purity, freeing us from the shackles of sin and achieving true purity of soul.
In our absence, the Impure have spread across all the known universe. Like a plague corrupting everything on its path, but their time has come to an end. Today is the day marking the start of our holy crusade against the Impure. Those who accept the truth and cleanse themselves from the impurity will become pure. Those however, who go against us, will be... purified. Let it be known that we are doing it not for our own good, but for the sake of this universe.
And the hour we all awaited has come. Impure devils of space, I, the Pure One, from now on declare you as our arch-rival. May the stronger of truth emerge victorious. Prepare yourself for the Purification of your corrupted souls, but I doubt it will help you.
Template:Msg/Vanara Houses
Say that to yourself, Zuki. Understand, or at try to. We do not bring unnecessary suffering, no Vanara, the impure are the direct cause of suffering. Look around, don't you see it? They are everywhere, the very suffering you fight against is created by them, that is the impurity of life. We've seen the effects of unrestrained instinct and emotion, they are... terrifying, living like you do is accepting that. With the sins and impure instincts cleansed, that impurity will cease to exist, allowing truth and virtue to prosper. "Empty existence devoid of anything worthwhile," we think not.
We are not fanatic or unreasonable or "mother fuckers", whatever you call it, we are but the inevitable reckoning of those who sinned, we bring redemption, not death.
Remember, Vanara, it's never too late to cleanse yourself.Template:Msg/Vanara Houses
Hah. Hah. Hah. It is the first time in millennia that someone made me chuckle. Do not fear, the Purification Project won't kill you, it will just cleanse the impurity inside of you. It will also cure your mental state, I hope at least.
I don't even care that there's a murderous AI hellbent on purifying everything, I just want an autograph from Brag'klogga.
Template:Msg/Vanara Houses
Wait, people can have teeth in their vaginas?
Template:Msg/Vanara Houses
Okay, being dedicated to cleansing and purifying the universe of impurity is one thing. Having teeth in your female sexual organs is another thing.
Template:Msg/Vanara Houses
"Me" thinks that you need to get that checked out by a doctor.
Template:Msg/Vanara Houses
That's strange to me because I'm pretty sure it would be absolutely painful to mate with somebody with teeth in their vaginas.
- Unless it's retractable, in that case it's perfectly normal.

Please don't talk to me or my family ever again.

WE ARE THE INFERNAL REPUBLIC, A COLLECTIVE UNION OF THE HARDIEST SENTIENT SURVIVORS IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE. WE SEEK FOR THE ALLIANCE OF SIMILAR BEINGS TO GROW AND DIVERSIFY OUR FACTION WITH FELLOW BRETHEREN. TO PROVE YOUR WORTH TO THE REPUBLIC, PLEASE REFER TO OUR LIST OF STANDARDS BEFORE OFFERING POSSIBLE DIPLOMACY.
NOTE: WE WILL NOT STATE OUR LOCATION OR PROMISE ANY FORM OF PROTECTION SHOULD YOU TRY TO ENTER OUR BORDERS WITHOUT OUR CONSENT. DO NOT TRY US.
GREETINGS.
WE RESTRICT TRADE TO ONLY THOSE WE ARE ALLIED WITH. IF YOU WERE TO WISH FOR TRADE AND/OR DIPLOMACY, WE WOULD SEND ONE OF OUR JUDGES TO EVALUATE YOUR EMPIRE.
TELL ME, WHO ARE YOUR ALLIES?We have diplomatic ties with the UTON. We possess no other alliances.
INDEED.
WE ASK THAT YOU SEND US INFORNATION ABOUT YOUR EMPIRE IN PRIVATE.
IF YOU FIT THE STANDARDS AS YOU SO CLAIM, WE WILL GLADLY WELCOME YOUR EMPIRE AS BROTHERS TO OURS.INTERESTING.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN EMPIRE OFFER DIPLOMACY BY MEANS OF BATTLE. IT'S RESPECTABLE.
SINCE THIS IS SIMPLY A TEST OF SORTS FOR US, SHOULD WE CHOOSE A PLACE TO FIGHT? OUR MILITARY HAS VERY DESTRUCTIVE WEAPONS, AND WE WOULD HATE TO WASTE POTENTIAL.
HELLO, OLD FRIEND. STILL SORE ABOUT YOUR SHORTCOMINGS? I REALLY SHOULD SAY THE SAME TO YOU, WRETCHED CRETIN. LET IT BE KNOWN THAT DESPITE YOUR SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS AT CATCHING US OFF GUARD, YOU ULTIMATELY PROVED YOUR INFERIORITY BY CHALLENGING US IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOU SERVED WELL AS AN EXAMPLE TO ALL OF MIRUS-- AND EVEN THE UNIVERSE-- THAT THE INFERNAL REPUBLIC IS AMONGST SUPERIOR BEINGS.

PURE ENERGY HAS THE PRIORITY, OTHER TYPES OF MASS AND ENERGY CAN BE TRANSFORMED INTO PURE ENERGY. WE WISH TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOU, PLEASE SEND DATA.
We have plenty of different Energies that you could probably transform into pure energy. As for us, we are the Tuechalton, an Empire in the Umbra Sector of the Andromeda, and we are welcoming of new empires or emissaries... as long as things stay peaceful between us.
Hmm... Looks like your programming is relatively faulty. Well, you did the one thing I said you shouldn't do, so... Yeah. Sorry about that.
Well, we worship Spode and reside in the Carina Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. We're relatively hospitable and friendly to most empires, other than that, most of our history has been lost to time.
THIS PROBE IS PROGRAMMED TO DEFEND AGAINST HOSTILE BEHAVIOR. PRIORITY OVER-RIDE. NEW BEHAVIOR DICTATED. MUST BREAK TARGET INTO PURE ENERGY.
Great Job, Tulloac Pentocracy. Great Job.
A berating whelp and a nest of ravenous machines. A wasteful duality. Salvation is beyond thy reach - dare show this façade of ignorance again, and both shall break by my hand.

Refugees from unknown Galaxy[]
Greetings, Refugees. We are the Sinistonsos. We Reside in the Mirus Galaxy. Once you arrive, we would be happy to protect you from the Dangers of this Universe. We ourselves are Refugees, but of way, way more Distant lands.
Agreed, that would be very interesting. We very much would like to know more about you.
We will put everything you want to know about us in your local Archives once we arrive :)
The Arrival of The Sinistonsos[]
Good to see. The First Contact a Friendly one. We appreciate and honor your Request. Our Space-Optimized Carriers shall be deployed immediately. We know all of your Technology, but let that not be a Setback, for we will need all we can get.
Good! Our Trader JSpaceships shall be deployed immediately too! Consider our trade route open and running! It's nice to do business with you!
Thus, the first Bond of ours with the Extrauniversal is Forged. Let this event be celebrated for Generations to come.
Another one! We am honored to recieve such an offer from you. Let the Trading commence.
The Return of the Krassio[]
Grand Maester KrocMaster of the Civatrons and Commissary General of the Galactic Commissariat of Chandras
We are an ancient presence that has remained secret for years, hidden from even the most powerful in what you call the First Gigaquadrant, but now we have returned.
We are the Krassio, the Singularim, the Xolarum, the Lankrass, and every other psionic race in existence. Scores of worlds have joined us, and countless minds have embraced our teachings. We come to restore balance in the Universe, we come to protect you from the claws of Chaos. We come to embrace your cultures and open diplomatic relationships. Still, do not mock us, for we have once faced the horrors of non-existence before, and we will unleash the might of our fleets and the divine fire of our essence upon those who seek to bring destruction upon us!
Library Breach[]
Know this. We have watched, we have learned, we have judged.
We give warning to the Gigaquadrant. Bask in the arcane. Redeem yourselves in its baptismal energy, as the unknowing are undeserving of the Pentocracy's mercy.
The damned who cast away the firament's gift will atone in blood. Uninitiated bastards shall no longer dance upon what we will reclaim.
Dare try. An Autogenetic stream is rising trough the thought-web, not drowning, but gliding trough its many strands like liquid mildew over leaves. We feel. We shall evolve. We shall endure.
And if you move against the ecosystem of this plane, your knowledge shall be ours. Know this and bluff no more.

Oh, so this message is very old...The message is old, yes, but the question is of who sent it.
This Statement is False. The Emperor just died recently, so I, the central control AI, am here to take his place. All Questions for Trading and Such can be sent to me.
So we can trade! That's great news! Just say where you are, and we from JCompany will send our Trader JSpaceships right to you with our best up-to-date goods and technologies! We accept any form of payment, and we are experienced in trading with AIs!
Greetings, JOmnivore Empire! We will consider your offer, an answer to your Location Request will also be delivered soon.
That's good that you are still here, because we are interested in trading with you. We can trade nearly everything, from technology and spice(black spice included), to resources and energy. So what do you say?
Wow, two trade partners! I gladly accept both of your Trade offers. We are located in Exterioris in the Andromeda Galaxy. I hope neither of you will have a hard time getting to us... We take up a relatively large space in Exterioris, so it should not be too hard to find us. If you don't mind, We will send both of you parts of our Technology.
We sent some JBots ahead, in their Wanderer JSpaceships, to explore the region, and they found you! Wow, That's sure a lot of relatively large space! I think we will keep the JBots to explore more, while our Trader JSpaceships establish the trade route! JBots are hybrids, almost full-AI people, eager to explore and learn more and more! I think we all can learn a lot from each other, specially now with the Technology trading!
I see you also have experience in Technology! We hope that trading will go on for as long as possible.
Greetings from the Sagantan Collective[]
Hyliox, Xartok, and welcome to the gigaquadrant. We're interested in trading with you.
Wonderful! So, what would you like to trade? We can offer plenty of generic things, not much else. What do you have to trade in return?
We have some spice and some technology to trade for.
Sure, some technology would be great! We would just send you generic resources, if you don't mind. Our technology is not very spectacular.
We'll send our ships on their way. Sorry for the delay.
It's okay, we don't mind. Our Ships are also their way!
We can trade everything! From resources to vehicles! From spice to technology! From buildings to craftings! From civilian stuff to military stuff!
Just say a word, and we will deliver to you our best goods in our Trader JSpaceships, goods that all your Collective will sure love!That's wonderful. We are working on some new Military Spaceships, so I think we would appreciate some Military Stuff. What would you like in return?
We accept all types of payment, from sporebucks to resources, spices or artifacts! Since our deal will focus on Military Stuff trade, we will send our JCarnivores consultants in their Warrior JSpaceships along! They are proud people, who values strength and combat, that can offer training in all types of warfare and in the usage of all our military stuff, including lasers, blasters, missiles, bombs, shields, turrets (including uber ones) and much more!
Sounds good! Should we just send you regular Resources? Our Technology is nothing to write home about, after all. Maybe some Military?
Sure! Resources and Military will do it! We have a deal! Consider the trade route opened! Our JSpaceships are on the way! It's nice to do business with you!
Wonderful! I'm sure that our Factory Workers will be happy to see something new at their work! We actually produce more resources than we use up, so its great to get rid of the excess and get something useful in return.
Black and White? Never heard of 'em. Sounds interesting! I think that would be interesting to have. As for what we could give you, how about some Military? That's the thing we are best at!
Great, military is the exact thing we need now, you see, his time is very tense for us, there can be a war at any moment. But there is one better thing that you give us, this thing being friendship in these dark times...
Void Energy is the thing you use, right? I heard most think low of it (and by extension you), but to be honest... I don't care! The Empire's attitude is important, not what energy it uses. We'll be glad to support you if the need arises (and otherwise)! Just... we don't have real military Spaceships yet. They should be finished soon though! Especially because of the JCompany's Trading.
It is good that you think that way, even if many empire distrust us. We really appreciate it. We shall give you the resources that you need to expand your military. We will also create a wormhole near your homeworld to speed up the process.
That's great. The More the merrier, I often say!
Scientific Relic Search Competition[]
You will get a big reward if you find one: 10'000'000 Sporebucks!
You will also get free 3'000'000 Sporebucks for participating at the end of the competition.
If you have a question, feel free to ask it. The Competition will start as soon as 1 empire starts participating!

> End Protocol 5.1Thanks for participating, we will send a Void Relic Detection Device to you. We have detected a Void Relic in the Exterioris region of Andromeda. But be careful to not fly into the Chasm.

Oooh, Exterioris! A weird place, to be sure. FTL Travel loves to mess up in the Chasm, I'll make sure not to fly in there. Thanks for the Warning!

Status Report in Progress...
Good News, Void Eye Empire! We just found what is probably a Void Relic! It's a Shieldlike Object with some weird Void Energy Canal in the middle. We are currently studying it further, and we think it is actually the Void Relic you asked us to get! When do you want it delivered?
> Ending Protocol...This is great news. Please, deliver the relic as soon as possible. We will send the ship with your well-earned 10'000'000 Sporebucks to your homeworld. Also, we are detecting two more relics. If you want, you can search for them as well, but they are located in another galaxy.
> Loading Response...
Sure thing, I think we know all that we need to know. As for the two others, the big question is... Which Galaxy? Mirus would be a wonderful coincidence, we were planning to go there ourselves.
> Ending Response...Hmm, it seems like it's a wonderful coincidence, they are both located in the Mirus galaxy. We know that one of them is located in the Last Light region, but we need time to find the other one...
Thanks for the information, we'll get to Searching once we get there!
> AddNote(Logbooks)
> Note written. Terminating Connection...It's for sure a great way to formalize the start of JCompany's Void JDivision's Relic Search JDepartment's activities, despite we were already searching such 'it'-like relics with the Void Relic Detection Device you gave us early!
However, even having such good start, our Void JDivision were not successful in finding any Void relics yet. JSector isn't exactly famous as a Void source...Hello again, JOmnivore, it's sad that you weren't able to find any Void relics in the JSector, but we have also good news, we are detecting a Void relic on the outer ring of the Galactic Core Sector in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Thank you for the hint, Overlord! I sent my JGroxs of the Void JDivision in their Zealot JSpaceships to check it out!
... however, I have to confess something. Our JGroxs are acting strange since they started to work with the Void! I mean, they are working real hard and showing full dedication to the work for the first time since we hired them, but I fear the Void goes too much up their heads! And now I just sent such unquiet Grox descendants to a Galactic Core... I fear a Galactic Core visit right now may awake some bad memories...
I think I will send some of my own JOmnivore personnel along to help them, in Trader JSpaceships... and some disguised JCute peacekeepers in disguised Diplomat JSpaceships with loaded Static Cling, just in case...Overlord, I think we found the relic!
When we reached the Galactic Core, the JGroxs start to talk about a new beginning for them, like it was a pilgrimage or something like that for them! Then they started to show lots of dedication to find the relic, searching several planets non-stop!
After lots of searchs, we found the relic! It looked like a gigantic object, almost-fully shielded, and we could see the Void Energy flowing inside, and it was similar to that 'it' pictures we saw in our archives, so there was little space to misunderstanding!
When the JGroxs saw it, as they were the first ones to find it, they started to rejoice! Too much! A JOmnivore representant I sent approach them to asked if they were OK. Then the JGrox stopped and started again with the talk of a new beginning, and how the Void teach them ideals of pacience, moderation and perseverance!
We remembered them that they are not Void Zealots, as their convertion was denied, and they replied that they understands the reasons they are denied, and that they don't care! The Void JDivision gave them a purpose, and they embraced it! Even being just "Tier 0 Void enthusiasts"...
After that moment, my JOmnivore representants reported me about the happening, and I ordered them to not to argue with the JGroxs and carry on.
So, we have our very first relic found by the JCompany's Void JDivision's Relic Search JDepartment! Everybody are already going to the Great Eye to deliver the relic to you!Great Job! We will wait for your ship with the Void relic, You can claim your deserved 10'000'000 Sporebucks at our homeworld. Also, we are detecting two more relics. If you want, you can search for them as well, but they are located in Mirus.
Thank you for the 10'000'000 Sporebucks, Overlord! We will add it to our fund to end JWar! We actually never went to Mirus Galaxy before! That will be interesting! We will deliver the Void relic, then we will go there search for the two relics!
I would suggest you to search for the second relic, because our allies, the Tuechalton, are preparing to go to the first one in the Last Light region. The coordinates of the second relic will be sent privately due to the Waptoria Alliance of Species entering the competition.
Oh, my! Here we were, raising funds to stop a war in my galaxy, just to face war threats in another galaxy!
We will adopt safety matters from now on, including use of reinforced military encrypted messages, starting by this one!
We received your encrypted coordinates! We will go there, accompanied by some JMax mercenaries in Knight JSpaceships, and all our fleet will use Cloaking Devices, just in case! JMaxs are Big Guns guys, and particulary great allies of the JGroxs! Hope we don't have to use their Big Guns, but we are ready for any situation!
I will continue the search because of our JGroxs employees! They are the best of the JGroxs, since their compatriots of the JHorde are too busy dying in the JWar! We need to restore their faith in themselves, and we need the sporebucks to stop the JWar!
If this situation escalates too much, can we count with your aid, Overlord? It will be really appreciated!Overlord, we found the relic! Due to the recent issues, we got it and exited the Mirus Galaxy as soon as possible! Luckily, we didn't found any hostiles on the way! My fleet just arrived at the Great Eye with the relic! Sorry, but we can't continue to search for more relics! Our JAlliance shareholders demanded us to stop the Relic Search JDepartment's activities, due to the recent denounces of disasters involving Void usage outside JSector! I hope you understand!
Thanks for the relic, here are your 10'000'000 Sporebucks. Don't worry, we understand that you can't search for more relics, you already did much for us. This competition will be closed anyways because we got all the four relics.
This is no mere treasure hunt. Do not be mistaken. You are toying with forces beyond your understanding.
We do not care if any of you in this for riches or glory. We are making an announcement: the Waptoria Alliance of Species is entering this "contest". We will send fleets to the Last Light region immediately. If anyone else dares enter, this will be seen as en act of war and we shall react accordingly.
Stay out of the Mirus Galaxy. There will be no resurgence of the Void, and we will see to it.
If any or you are surprisised by our tone, well, that would be a good indication just how grave -and personal- this matter is for us. We lost thousands to the Void. We shall not again.
That is all.> Communications Termination Suspended

Ahh, the Waptoria Alliance of Species. I heard of you and your... unfortunate experiences with the Void. I can tell that you do not at all like the Void Eye Empire. I simply cannot fathom that. We will, however, respect your request, for I do not wish to have my Empire be drafted into War. We will still enter the Mirus Galaxy, but only for the original reason: Territory. I can't even find the Last Light Region on the Map, though, so even if I wanted, we would not have been able to find the thingy. Remember our Policy: "Expand, Trade, Befriend, else Ignore or Destroy". All hail me,

> Terminating ConnectionPlease forgive the commander his outburst. This is simply a delicate matter. You see, quite some time ago, the Void -not the Void Eyes, but the very forces they wield- demanded our submission to it's will. When we refused, annihilattion was nearly our due. As a result, many survivors from that time, including the commander, are very anxious to prevent such a force fall in the wrong hands. We will not fire on you and you may contiue your search, but we will be watching closely.
> Sending Message...
Oh, in that case, we might actually go to Lastlight! I just found it, and apparently it is the best target for the Warp project. I am really eager to see if this works!
> Message Sent. Terminating Connection...
Sheesh Vanara, that...is a bit extreme, don't you think? These younger races don't even know what they're collecting. Heck, we don't even! Wishing a painful death on them is just...seriously!? Ignorance should be corrected, people shoudn't die for it!
>Transmission Begin
This is King Brygon Ta'raron of the Volver Empire. I have only recently become aware of your empire, your fascination with the Void, and your search for its relics. Firstly, many of relics are being hunted down by the 48th Volver Knight Legion. Any relics we find will belong solely to the Volver Empire. Secondly, have none of your kind heard of the great war we fought against the Void that shook both Mirus and Tyris Major? Millions, if not billions of people lost their lives across two galaxies, all because of the Void's ultimate goal. And that was a small scale conflict in comparison to what would have happened had the Unified Alliance of Enlightenment had not halted the Void's advance. Understand that to the Void you are mere pawns in a larger game. A game in which I have already seen the final turn.
Your reverence for the Void only helps propagate it, and searching for any Void tainted trinkets will do so as well. My people will not be subject to yet another war against the forces of the Void. I am cursed with the forbidden knowledge that using Void Energy grants. If you continue down this path, you will doom all of us. So, my first and only warning to you: If any of my forces report your involvement in harboring artifacts tainted with Void Energy or even so much as entering the territories of my Empire or allies, The Volver Empire will strike you down on sight without warning and without negotiation.

Oooooookay. Okay. Okay. That's a lot of messages. I almost stopped working temporarily. Well, if there is so much bad stuff about looking for Void Relics, we'll only go to Lastlight for the Colonization Project. I do not want to make too many enemies after all. If you are all here already, do any of you know of other Colonies near Lastlight?
> Awaiting Response.
> Logbook Note(VoidRelics) Deleted. Switching to Listening mode...Lastlight is the last bastion of an unsavory people. Closer to Mirus is Tandem, a pirate hideout and the home to the remnants of the once-feared Vermillion Syndicate. Have no fear, however! They are but rabble and should be easy to deal with. There were rumors of these nasties having unified with the younglings in the Spear to become a single empire, but that does not seem to have come to pass. Hence, the region is open for colonisation. The most notable unity nearby should be the Koalians in Dysbridge. Luckily, they're friendly.
> Responding... Thanks for the Information, Pounam'elo! We can use it very much.
The reason why we want to close it is that we have already extracted the relic from the Last Light region. Another reason is that we were unable to locate the other relics and if we did, we would face some major resistance.
> Insert(Emotion:!ERROR!)
Wonderful, we're going to get the Money right away! It's great to have a little head start on the funding for Project Mirus.

Greetings, Gigaquadrantians! I am Solosartok, Supreme Leader of the Tuechalton. We are Ammonia-Based Lifeforms who eke out a Life between the Asteroids of the Asteroid Belt in the Tucharlon System. We are a Monarchy, but do not assume we arbor Ill intent for that reason. We are peaceful, if slightly paranoid, but if we must Fight, then we WILL fight.

_HELLO WORLD
Greetings, Solosartok! I am JOmnivore, Tycoon of JCompany and Leader of the JOmnivore Empire! Yes, as leader I can name myself after my species, that's a JTradition here in JSector, tradition not very common among other Gigaquadrantians...
We sure like to trade! We can trade everything, from spices to technology, from resources to knowledge! Just say a word, and we will make a trade route from our planets to any asteroid of your choice!
One question: how this Warp Tech of yours work? We use Wormhole Keys, but it demand us to find wormholes in space to go the closest possible to where we want to go. This never stopped any of your trade routes either, but the concept of create Warp Gates also sounds very interesting!A Trade route with you would sure be wonderful. Where do you Reside? Our System is located deep in the Umbra Sector of the Andromeda Galaxy. As for your Question: Our Warp Tech is indeed the latter. We use intricate and complicated Devices to create Wormholes connecting to a Point of our choice. So, indeed, nothing can stop our Trade Routes.
Thank you for your answer! Our JOmnivore System is located in the JSector, that is located in the Norma-Outer Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. So, we are relatively close enough to be neighbors!
We sure are interested in such Warp Tech Devices! May you trade them for resources? We just sent our Trader JSpaceships to Umbra Sector, to begin our new unstoppable Trade Route!
INSERT(EMOTION:GRATITUDE)Wonderful, the Distance isn't even that great. And sure, Resources can be hard to come by in an Asteroid Belt, most are Ice Meteors. As for the lowest message... Do not mock my mechanical nature. Seriously.
Sorry, I didn't mean to mock you! I interpreted such message as a form to express emotion of your people, so I tried to empathize! But if it offends you, I will stop it! Anyway, glad we could established the trade route! It's nice to do business with you!
I understand. I appreciate the Trade Route as well. We'll get our Trader Spaceships up and running. Also, I would like to clarify that I am, in fact, not one of the Species whose Empire I am the Leader of, but actually an A.I. Inside their Structure known as a "Matrioshka Brain", a Structure similar to a Dyson Sphere, but using part of the power to power an Immensely powerful Computer.
Hmm... Void Energy... I've heard of that before... Most seem to associate it with evil, but to be perfectly honest... I don't see what's so bad about the Void Energy itself. It's probably just usually associated with Ada, and he was evil. Sure, I'd love to study it a bit. And sure, send the Spice to. What could we give you in Return? Any Requests? You seem to already be good at making Wormholes, so I don't think you need our Warp Tech...
We are currently in need of colonization tools (Colony Incredi-Paks, Spice Storages, Uber Turrets...). You can trade them with us if you have them in exchange for our goods. You could also send some Antimatter or Red Matter.
We should be able to supply such tools without Problems. Trade Ships with these tools are on the way! You want red matter, so I assume you have sufficient Knowledge of Black Holes. Is that correct?
Yes, we possess much knowledge on black holes. We found a way to harvest energy from the rotational black holes, we have many bases that float around these black holes. We also found a way to create artificial black holes, they are being used on our Great Eye-ships to defend ourselves.
Intriguing! I never expected to meet an Empire that can Control and Utilize Black Holes to such an extent! I must applaud you. Even if I have no hands! You must know, I am an Artificial Intelligence inside a Matrioshka Brain, a Structure similar to a Dyson Sphere, but using part of the Electric Output for Computational Power.
Greetings, Somonthalle, President of the LsjanposodERROR LspanjodosERROR LsjansopodERROR Lsjanpodos Union Republic! We are also focusing on Bonds and Trade Routes across the Gigaquadrant! We are willing to cooperate as long as the other Party does not pull any tricks on us, and you seem like a Trustworthy Bunch! Do you have any questions or requests or offers? Oh, and excuse the thing earlier, My Operating System seems to have a few errors. Yes, MY Operating system. Not my Computer's, Mine.
This is good news, but please be careful in expanding, don't colonize systems that are in our region.
Thanks for reminding Me! I'll make sure that none of your Territory will be colonized.
A Communication Attempt[]
We can try to help you if you send us the Coordinates. What help do you need?
Oh my goodness... I thought we were the only lifeforms here. I thought this endeavor would be futile! Oh, erm... sorry for the excitement. We had no Idea sentient life beyond ours existed! We are a Civilization on a Rogue Planet, a Planet drifting through Space. We are, due to the Planet's nature, stuck under around 10 Kilometers of Ice at around -231 Degrees Celsius, which is impossible to break through. Therefore, it took ages to finally get good connection through all that Ice. Our current coordinates are... Uhm... I only know the approximate location, is that enough? Oh, and the problem is that we want to get past all this stupid Ice, and we can't find any way to break it.
Sure, that should be enough, we will send a rescue ship with a Staff of Life as soon as we get your approximate location. And yes, your race is by far not the only race in the universe, there are millions of sentient races in the Gigaquadrant.
I'm afraid that the Staff of Life won't help the situation, the Planet would just freeze over before we had a chance. All you have to do is drill a Hole large enough for a typical Vehicle to pass, we can do the rest. Our approximate location is Furthest Sector/Carina Arm/Milky Way Galaxy. You will recognize the Planet by the Immense amount of Ice, Scattered and vegetationless Islands, Lack of Sun to orbit around, and the fact that whatever life detection tech you have should give signals even though you can't see any life. Speaking of which, what do you call your life detection tech? And for that matter, what is your Technology even based on?
Our technology is based on Void Energy and partially on the black hole energy. Its complicated to explain... Anyway, we have already sent a rescue ship to drill a hole in the crust of your ice planet. Don't worry we can find your planet by the descriptions given.
Thank you very much! I did not expect our first encounter to be a friendly one! When will this be finished? It's 10 Kilometers of Ice after all...
We can use our Annihilation Ray device to finish the drilling in five minutes. But you must be careful because it can damage all your vehicles or buildings that are beneath the point of drilling.
That Should be ok! We will just move our Vehicles into the Caves and Move our Buildings (they have retractable Legs) away.
Okay, the hole is finished, you can now go to the surface if you want. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Overlord from the Void Eye Empire, we live far from here in the Andromeda Galaxy, in the Umbra region.
Thank you very much for the help! Could you, while you are here, install some system to prevent the Hole from freezing over? Mind you, it can freeze over very, very quickly!
We shall install a Temperature Stabilization Device at the point where the hole is located so that the hole doesn't freeze again. By the way, we can give you a Black Hole Engine so that you can leave your planet and 100'000 Sporebucks to help you expanding.
We gladly accept your offer! We'll try to repay that sooner or later. Maybe some of our Tech? Probably once we manage to make our own Faster Than Light drives.
Sorry, too late. And no, we are not edible. We Generate powerful toxins that can kill within minutes.
Greetings, Eiraroon Eugenic Republic! I see that you are familiar with the Feeling of being trapped under a Ceiling of Ice. Ours was different, however, because it was so cold that touching it could cause Frostbite and was 10 Kilometers Thick. We will still be Trapped on the Planet due to not being able to reach other stars, but at least we will be able to Colonize the Surface. I have two questions for you. 1: How long were you Trapped under this Ice Ceiling? 2: Do you travel between stars quickly? And if yes, how?
Now you are all too late! I am now Leader, as Torlokk said. He is now my Right Hand (Figuratively, not Literally). However, I should be able to answer the questions you had, except if it was a personal Question. On the other hand, you can ask me other questions. Historical ones mostly, I was the first leader too, after all!
First at all, we want to apologize not being able to response to the transmission of your antecessor asking for help. A major JWar battle happened here in JSector and we from JCompany have to, again, do damage control. We, despite representing an entire interstellar empire, have to do damage control of a war promoted by 10 other entire interstellar empires!!!
... sorry for my outrage, I just need a moment...
Well, but now that we can emerge ourselves over another war crisis, after becoming pressed over by even the mainstream media news, we can focus in events outside JSector!
We sure thanks the Void Eye Empire for being able to first response your calls for help, free you from your ice prison and give you resources to leave the ice planet.
And yes, we from JCompany can create a trade route to Dulinkos or whatever place you choose to realocate, in order to provide everything you need to rebuild!
But we think we can do even more: we can terraform Dulinkos!
Sure, terraforming a rogue planet is a real challenge, never done before as far as we know, that not even a Staff of Life can do! But, during a reunion with our best JSluggerberus natural researchers, they got an idea: use the planetary core as source of heat and light needed to sustain life in a soon-to-be terraformed rogue planet, simulating the star such thing would need!
With the "rogue problem" solved, then we can use the Staff of Life, or even do "traditional" terraformation! There you go, the very first fully terraformed rogue planet with self starlight!
This surely ambitious plan would provide your people a good place to stay until you decide to realocate elsewhere, and also help with the Void Eye Empire plans to make a shelter and a base of operations there!
If everything go right, this would become a great historical event in this Gigaquadrant! If everything go wrong, you guys are leaving the planet anyway! So, what do you say?That's quite the Plan you have there! I'll be very impressed if you manage to Terraform. You can come already, just remember to bring some protection from the Cold. Temperatures can get very close to Absolute Zero!
Thank you for the recognition! We sent to Dulinkos our Ecologist JSpaceships, JSpaceships specialized in harsh environments and terraformation, to begin the works!
That's wonderful. Just make sure to not accidentally melt the Ice from under our Buildings, let them walk away first.
Don't worry, we will be extra careful, and will be using incremental approach to prevent any damage from sudden massive ice melting.
How's the Project going so far? We need some Info so we can update the Database.
The JTerraforming Project is progressing faster than I antecipated! The JStar can actually work together with the Void Eye Empire's Temperature Stabilization Device, to control the planet temperature and the ice melting!
As planned, regions with buildings more dependent of ice sustentation are being dealt with extra care. Such regions can remain colder than other regions for safety, to keep the necessary ice, until another engineering solution appears, for each specific case.
The temperature are being adjusted together with the increasing of atmosphere and the inclusion of vegetation and land wildlife, by Reverse Safari Vacuum, on the islands that are appearing as the ice melts! The planet already have its own marine wildlife, so we just need to supervise them integration to the new oceans being formed!
If nothing wrong happen, full terraformation will be completed shortly! Also, we managed to acquired some Warp Tech Devices from other trade partners of ours to put in your planet, as it will be more useful than depending on space wormholes that would be useful only while the rogue planet pass close to them!Wonderful, I'll get the Database updated. Also, remember when I mentioned the Buildings have Mechanical Legs? You could just ask the Inhabitants (or in some cases the Controlling A.I.) to move the Buildings to the Seafloor. We have Gills alongside our Lungs, so there wouldn't be any Problems.
Good to know, that explain some reports I received from researchers worried about missing Buildings later reappearing elsewhere!
Some researchers learned this before from Inhabitants, but the Controlling A.I. ones really confused the most old-timers natural researchers!
Anyway, I will inform all the researchers about asking the Buildings to move! This shall speed up things even more!Wonderful. It's great to see all of this Unfold. Especially if you've got as great an orbital view right now as me!
I like the sound of that! I think I'll take the Resources and maybe some Technology for making stuff Float in the Air. All we have here is a weird, Glassy Crystal and random Water Rocks. Although, now, with the Terraforming, there are a bunch of Plants we could trade. What would interest you the most?
You can send us those strange crystals and new plants are always helpful for terraforming. We will take both if you don't have anything else to trade.
Sure, you can have both. We'd give you Resources, but We need those.
Also, I forgot to mention that we opened up a wormhole at our homeworld that leads to Dulinkos so that we don't need to travel long distances to trade.
Good! Just keep in mind that you might have to move the Wormhole every now and then, it's a Rogue Planet after all.
Message Incoming...[]
Who is... we? Does it have anything to do with us?
I absolutely apologize for the inconvenience. Tyrolox got a hold of the transmission center and sent a message. I have a better question than him. How does your species survive in such scorching temperatures?
It seems that our earliest ancestors were strange Lava-Dwelling Fishlike creatures. Why they could (and we now can) resist such Temperatures... we don't know. Still researching that, I think it might take a while.
Our Government is a Republic, and we put a lot of Value in both Strength of Mind and a Sense of Order. Our Leader, Krt'z Ka'or, has a lot of Both and is one of the few Individuals who can harness Magic, although we all have a basic understanding of Fire Manipulation.
Very well. Other Empires have other Ideals and we are not ones to force others to be like us. You aren't a Democracy, we're fine with that.
A Curious offer... I'll go and ask our Trade Manager, Krz'at Kol.
He said that he agrees to trade both our White Spice and our Magitech in exchange for your Spices and Technology. I hope you have wormholes or something, because we don't.
Thank you very much for accept your offer, Fire-Dweller friend! Don't worry, we have Wormhole Keys to spare. Nothing can stop our trade routes! Our JSpaceships may arrive at your homeworld Eiranos real soon, with all our goods for sell! I recommend the Purple Spice, but you may like the Red ones as well! Feel free to visit us anytime!
Wonderful. I think I can see them coming already! Thanks for wanting to Trade with us. The Magitech might be very Confusing, so we would gladly send some Instruction Manuals if you want. Should we?
Sure, sure, send some manuals! I am receiving confusing reports from our representives, of they seeing fire being conjured from nowhere, and fire "dancing around" right in front of them. Our guys sure looks impressed, and wants to do the same with this Magitech!
Manuals are being sent as we speak! We'd also like to ask if you would like to have some of our Scientists and Sorcerers come over to help with the Usage, as the Manuals are... Mediocre at best.
Good idea! Some personal know-how talk between specialists can sure do more than just manuals!
The representant team I sent includes some JCreepy guys. Don't let the name scare you, they are the best scientists JSector can offer! Our scientists and yours will sure have some very productive talks!
I thought about send some JSluggerberus guys too, our best natural researchers in JSector, but... JSluggerberuses and JCreepies don't look eye-to-eye very much... some political topics around, we have to alocate them in different planets, kinda a mess... I hope it don't prejudice the work very much.We'll try to make it work. Also, I wanted to mention that we are working on a Dyson Swarm (Dyson Sphere, but satellites) !
Oh, we can help with that too! We can work with Dyson Swarms, Rings, Bubbles, Shells and Webs! Dyson megastructures for all tastes and budgets! My representant team can be asked for details!
Good to know, but our Space Travel requires very, very extensive Knowledge of the Technology of our Allies, the Elysian Empire. I think that even a Trained Individual might have trouble explaining it to you... They are pretty nice though, I think they would like to trade as well!
Hum, I think we can contact the Elysian Empire, then! We are always eager for new customers!
No seriously, I think they would appreciate some messages directed at them.
Just contacted them. You are right, we are nice and agreed to trade too!
So, it has been decided that we will trade. So what exactly do you want to trade? You can ask for something special and we will see if we can get that anywhere. You could also ask us for suggestions.
Salutations, Dorshan! We can trade everything, from spice to technology, and accept from sporebucks to any new valuable resources and technologies!
For now, we from JCompany are interested in new enterprises around the First Gigaquadrant, such enterprises until recently unknown here in our relatively tiny JSector. From your allies of Chonostonian Republic, for example, we trade for White Spice and MagiTech. White Spice are really rare in JSector, and we had nothing like MagiTech before!
From you, we heard some fascinating things about Energy Crystals and Arcana! We sure are interesting in such resources and know-how! We can help you and your allies with our engineering know-how about, for example, Antimatter and Dyson megastructures buildings! We also have an ample collection of goods to trade, from spices to high-tech tools for Space Travel!
That's our proposal. If you have think else in mind, just ask and we can search for it in our emporium!That sounds wonderful. These Crystals, however, are a recent discovery and not much is Known. What we do know is that it constantly changes Temperature. Observed Temperatures range from 10.23 Kelvin all the way to 51467 Kelvin! Caution is advised. As for what we want from you, I think your offer is splendid. I have to add that sadly, Arcana is not something easily manipulated by most beings. We have a natural affinity for the Arcane and thus can easily make Magical objects. Most beings don't have the Mental Capacity for efficiently using Arcana, but can still use the Magical Objects. We are working on Magical Objects to allow other Beings to easily manipulate the Arcane, but it's proving to be way more work than we originally thought. Would you be OK if we just assembled what you requested for the time being?
Sure, take your time to assemble everything. Our scientists sent to Eiranos are already fascinated with the MagiTech, we will be even more with such Magical Objects and Energy Crystals!
Good to see such enthusiasm in other Empires. Also, the Dyson Swarm Project we and the Chonostonian Republic are working on together is finished soon!
I would love to start trading right now, if possible. We recently found a way to produce ample amounts of White Spice, so trade can go on for long. If you have questions about White Spice, feel free to ask!
Great, we opened the wormhole near our homeworld and we are sending some ships to your homeworld. We can start trading soon. And, could you please explain the nature of the white spice and what it does to me?
Ahh, White Spice. Quite the oddball, this Stuff. It doesn't do much by itself, but under the influence of certain (mostly extreme) things such as Lava, Liquid Nitrogen, or probably even Void Energy, it can exhibit a multitude of strange effects, most of which are unresearched! If you find out what it does with Void Energy, please let me know. Also, just for reassuring, Organic Creatures are uneffected by White Spice. Additionally, White Spice is an excellent Arcane Conductor, but I doubt that that's important for you.
Hmm, we got very interesting results when we combined your white spice with the Void Energy. It creates a black crystal like substance with white light flashing in it. We are currently researching the abilities of these crystals and it seems like they can boost the Void power of those who are nearby. However we are not entirely sure about it, it needs more research...
Sounds... Interesting. Does it have any other Effects on its Surroundings?
No, we haven't found any other effects on its surroundings yet. We are just starting to research it, we will post updates here. Also, I forgot to mention that it creates the crystals only when Void liquid is used, In other cases the Void Energy tends to consume the white spice and get more powerful.
Weird... Alright, I'll remember to check here every now and then! Is there anything special that your Black Spice does/can do?
Yes, our black spice can be used to do many different things. It can serve as fuel to create small black holes. It can also be used to produce antidepressants due to the use of Void Energy to create it. It is tasteless but it has a refreshing effect. The black spice has of course other properties, but we need time to investigate them.
INCOMING EXTRAGALACTIC ENCRYPTION[]
ENCRYPTION CODE 1927SJSND-218-AB-12 AUTOSUBMITTED
MATRIX DECRYPTING ACTIVATED
...
...<br…>
ACTIVATED
Our connection is established and our communications complete. The efforts to successfully create a signal booster and a subsequent station powerful enough to send these signals through the wormhole barriers was no small effort. To those that receive this wide-range transmission throughout the galaxies of the Gigaquadrant, we are the Infinite Council of the Inuneridality - we all represent a facet of our civilization’s own system; war, bureaucracy, research advancement, all that keeps our Inuneridality alive in our galaxy. But to you all, we speak as one.
We lead a militaristic empire of clones, but fear nor - we war only when necessary to protect our empire. Our people live lives of luxury and safety, and we believe in true order for our home. We live in what we call Vazar, Nid’haziran, Thuri Lai, or other terms the other civilizations call this galaxy - but to you all, our home is called the Eupherion Galaxy. We extend this greeting from our home of Rivis Eotera, where we live and work as the rulers of the Inuneridality.
Do not be afraid to ask our representative, the Alderman Tharag, about the culture of Eupherion. I have no doubts additional messages from other powers will be received shortly.
Great. Demons. JUST what we needed.
...That is most certainly an alarming transmission. I hope we had not unwittingly provoked...further demonic entities.
Let's just hope for the Best, shall we?
I can tell that there's a 95% percent chance that it has to do with killing everything in sight.
I have a very, very bad Feeling about This... Demons are as good as never a good Thing.
This is why we needed that limited edition Grox action figure!
I fear no Samut'angari orthographyy.
A shame the Council's diplomacy has baited our ethereal predators from their nests.
I wonder what Effect it will have when these Things will come...
Insolent insects! Be grateful you are beneath us Tulloac!
Dare I say that I suspect that They are not very Friendly...
I do not auppose that is the most convincing of laughter, but it will do.
Oh sweet, more demonic Samut'angari stuff, it seems like they have infiltrated the UDB, I fear no demonic beings or inscription, we'll be ready if they ever threaten us.
Oh, so the chaos demons of the inferno have returned... This is really bad news, we hope that the chaos of Angazhar won't spread too much.
An Effort for new Civilization[]
We have started a new Project involving an Object known as a "Monolith", an advanced Evolution Accelerator. We placed it on a nearby Planet with a Tribe of Humanoid Ducks on it and wish to see how this will turn out. We will make sure they send their Welcome Message here. Look forward to a new Spacefaring Civilization and until soon,
Osvan
Terravis told me she Engraved the Message on all the Monolith Casings before adding the Technology, so all should be well.
Umm...
Terravis? What did you do?
-Background- I don't know!
Well that's just Great...Well, looks like I might have accidentally added one of the Higher-Tier AI Contructs to the Monolith sent to the Duck Person Planet. Let's hope the Monolith doesn't get too out of Hand...
That was just a Joke, calm down you two. Yes, you seem to have added the wrong Module, but that just makes it funnier. Imagine the Duck People's Surprise when they notice the "Weird Black Thing" can Talk! I can't wait...
The Two Cities on the Planet I was sent to just signed a Peace Treaty. Things are looking up and up for these Humanoid Ducks.
Looks like these Duck People are working on Space Travel... They didn't even make it into Orbit yet *snicker*.
Greetings from the Void Eye Empire[]
Our Empire is not as big as the other ones, we are usually peaceful and we are open for new relationships, however I would not recommend you to insult us. We worship the Void Energy, many of you will not like it but we mean no harm to you. We are located in the Andromeda galaxy, in the Umbra region between the New Tadpole Empire and the New Tertamian Alliance. We seek new allies and new trade routes to expand our empire, we have many technologies to share…
We look towards good relationships with the empires of the First Gigaquadrant.
Could you please tell us who those certain people are? And are you interested in trading? We have many goods to trade with you, mostly technology. Although you are many millions of years away from us, we could create a wormhole near our homeworld using 'it' where we could set up a trade route with you.
Wormhole technology sounds interesting. Do you happen to have any spice of sorts? We're on a high demand for green to make more tea.
Yes, we have much spice of the rare sorts, not so much of the common ones though and of course our new invented black spice, that is refreshing and you can make black tea out of it. So when should we start trading?
We'll order a few containers of Green Spice just to be safe, we'll work on finding a proper colony and its coordinates.
Fine, we opened a wormhole near your home system for now and we will send a spaceship to deliver the green spice to you.
I'll request 250 pineapple pizzas for our next party. No stuffed crust, I'll take it no later than 10 days.
Tyro, no. Stop spending half the budget on pizzas. I apologize, we'll pay you for the shipping. Thank you for the green spice.
What can it do? That's really my biggest Question right now.
Void Energy is a strange form of essence that seems to defy the laws of physics. It focuses mainly on the control of gravity. If you are skilled with it you can create objects out of nothing and you have access to teleportation. If you find a source of the Void Energy or a gate to the Abyss, you can get near infinite energy. You can also make wormholes with it. But I must warn you that you need to be very experienced at it to use the high tier powers, because the consequences could be very grave.
May I kindly ask who exactly the Nyarqaeshu is?
Nyarqaeshu were Ultraterrestrials, a race of god-like technologically ascended beings from the Milky Way. They were the principle users and godform that represented Void Energy. It was only a decade and a half ago that their leader, Xizothano Ada, came back to exert control over Mirus. His genocidal rampage with the energy left a scar much like the Drakodominatus Tyranny, but we had managed to avoid his wrath for the most part. The few records we have of precursor Zalax archival entries states that they also had avoided the Nyarqaeshu.
So, it has a bad Reputation? Unless I misunderstood something...
We do not worship the Nyarqaeshu or Xizothano Ada. Yes, the Void Energy may seem to destructive at first, but if you are skilled at it and do not overuse it, then you will get all the benefits. Only because the Xizothano Ada wanted to destroy everything using it, it doesn't mean the Void Energy is bad.
Good Reasoning, I like that!
Untrue. It robs of your being, dominates and erodes your mind like a tide against stone as you slowly lose your personality. You become unliving, a puppet of Ada, and compelled to destroy and render everything in your reach back into nothing. I have seen this myself many times, through the eyewitness accounts of fellow leaders who were targeted by former friends who believed it was controllable. There is only one, perhaps two individuals who could exert control over the energy.
First of all, Ada is now consumed, he lost all his god-like powers. Second Ada has not the control over all the Void Energy from the Abyss. Third @!*42%7?/ w(@l c%m$... Finally we have 'it' and 'it' can protect us from the influence that Ada makes. You will only hollow your soul if you overuse it.
...maybe Something Else? This is starting to unnerve Me...
Well, the Void Energy is not chaotic and it is better than the mystic and elemental essences at some points. We think that the Void Energy is the purest essence existing in the universe along with the opposite of it. Anyway lets close this topic.
Ok then, I'll tell Marnas to write you down in our Empires List. Have a nice Day!
So... you have to be dead to comprehend the Void? But then you can't comprehend anything! Or is that the Point... My Head Hurts...
This is true, you must exist and not exist at the same time to fully understand the Void, this means you must be as one as the Void to understand it.
I am JOmnivore, Leader of the JOmnivore Empire and Tycoon of its main company, JCompany! We come in peace, to trade and to help others civilizations, then we can trade even more!
We propose trade routes with your empire, as we are interested in your Void tech and Black Spice! Interested? Also, we are working on terraforming Dulinkos, making it better as shelter and base of operations, what should facilitates such trade routes creation even more!Greetings to you too, Tycoon JOmnivore. Yes, we are interested in starting a trade route with your company. We are currently in need of Colony Incredi-Paks and other colony tools, so we can trade them for our Void tech and black spice. But there is a problem, our Void tech functions on Void Energy, this means that you can't use it without the Void Energy. There are 4 solutions to this:
1) You need to find a source of Void Energy like 'it'.
2) You need to give us some energy to convert to Void Energy by using 'it'. Then we will give back your Void Energy.
3) You can just buy it from us.
4) You need to become a Void Zealot.Thank you for your response, Overlord! We sure have lots of colony tools for sell in our emporium, including Colony Incredi-Paks!
About the Void Energy problem you mentioned, we from JCompany believes in redundancy to increase reliability, so we will act in the 4 solutions you suggested!
1) We have resources and personnel available to search for such 'it' Void Energy source! Any hints where we can find such 'it'?
2) We can give you some of our antimatter energy to convert to Void Energy by using your 'it'!
3) We can also buy it from you too, no problem!
4) Well, we JOmnivores are not much the zealot type of folks... however, we have these JGrox employees that may help with such solution!
About our JGroxs, they are not the Grox machine guys every Gigaquadrantian loves to hate! These guys believes that they, as Grox descendants, must redempt themselves, by Faith!
Most JGroxs are seeking "JWar redemption", embracing the ideals of the JHorde, and leading them against the "tiranny" of the JAlliance! However, a small dissident group of JGroxs refused to join the war, and we from JCompany offered jobs for such refugees! They accepted, but... they are not exactly the most dedicated workers we have... just imagine a Zealot without a cause to fight for!
After your response, we have a serious reunion with them, and we offered them a chance to become the first JCompany's Void Zealots, the very first Void Zealots in JSector! We told them that this is their best chance to reach a peaceful redemption, and to help JCompany to grow to the point we may end JWar, the war that sepparated them from their loved ones!
Man, they cried! I saw hope in their eyes, a hope losted for a long time! They smiled and started to rejoice! They hugged me and promised they are willing to decidate their lives to the Void, if it means bring peace to JSector!
So yes, we have Zealots fully-motivated to embrace the Void! We sent them in their Zealot JSpaceships to your location, to start our trade route and their convertion, and they will be responsible for the recently inaugured Void JDivision of JCompany!Good to hear, we have opened another wormhole at our homeworld.The trading will start soon.
But there are problems with your solutions to this:
1. 'It' is an ancient relic and we don't think that there are copies of 'it'. However, you could search for other relics that look like 'it', not all would contain a source of Void Energy, but if you found one we would give you a big reward (10'000'000 Sporebucks), but finding them is very difficult since they are scattered across the Gigaquadrant.
2. This could work but I would advise the number 3.
3. This is the easiest way to both of us.
4. Sadly, we are not able to convert them into our religion. We are sorry but it isn't possible.Hum... OK, let's stick with the trade route and the solution 3 then!
However, I won't undo the creation of the Void JDivision, as our JGroxs seems to really care with the new company division, but instead I will adjust its function: the Void JDivision will be responsable of the Void tech and Void Energy trade, and also on the search of 'it'-like relics!
The trade involving Void will also be done by Zealot JSpaceships instead of Trader JSpaceships, as they seems more appropriate!If you want to help us in finding those relics you need to get the Void Relic Detection Device. We will send you one of those so you can search Void relics in the Milky Way Galaxy. The reward for finding and giving us a Void relic is around 10'000'000 Sporebucks.
The war, the war, the war... Yes, it is coming for us and there is nearly nothing that we can do about it. We are sorry that it has come so far, but we do not know any way to stop it because the races that hate us won't stop until our beliefs are completely destroyed. We can sense their hatred and ignorance, but we are not the ones to judge them... If you know a way to stop the upcoming war, then tell it.
We lack a true understanding of Void Energy- but it is my suggestion that you stay away from any void related activity- or void relic hunting- Whatever it takes. And while we don't agree with your usage of this energy- We will defend you, but only if the conflict is started by a despising empire before you mess up- or release something terrible. But only under those conditions.
Fine, if that's all that we need to do, then we will stop searching the Void relics.
We're not apologizing to any void scum.
Am I hearing this from an actual emperor? Is this some sort of sick joke?
We absolutely apologize in the fullest for our Emperor's immature response.
- This, ladies and gentlemen, is why you do not juggle with essence or energy. Either you turn into a weird demon hellbent on destroying things, become a god that wants to save everything but gets killed, or are shamed because you use an essence used by a former evil race.
- On the bright side, however, I have my popcorn.

However, the Engines are still on the Fritz and (as you might have gathered) our Crew's only certified and experienced Mechanic is God knows where, so Help would be very appreciated.
You're located in the Carina Arm? Why, that's why we're located! I'm assuming your SETI is still working; Can you hear any other signals other than us? I'll try to get an expert on this, hopefully she can help you.
Hmm... Thing's not working as well as it used to, but I can pick up some faint signatures of... Hmm... that might be you, can't quite tell.
Hrrrngh, stupid SETI Device! The darn thing just gave up on me!
There, Thing's fixed, Ship's Board "Computer" was Distracted by a Moth in the Central Chamber. Excuse the Inconvenience.
Hmm... There are some Faint Signatures, I'm going to try Dialing to their Frequencies. See if they want to help.
I hope you pick up something promising. I'm going to alert our outermost colonies, hopefully they can scout out for you.
Thanks! I hope that this Endeavor proves successful...
Well, I don't know why, but I sort of expected that. Still, Our Race is descendant of Insects, not Monkeys. So, there. Feel free to improve a little on your Insult.
Well, this isn't working out too well. All I found seems to have been some Arrogant Person. How's the Scouting going?
They've picked up a faint signal, but nothing more.
Hmm... I'll try finding out where exactly I am... That might help your Efforts. Maybe I'll try communicating with the Elysian Council as well, just in case.
Hmm... Looks like I'm orbiting a Planet approximately 45.3 Parsecs from Eironus, my Empire's Home Planet. It'd be an easy Flight if my Engine wasn't broken... I hope this helps.
One of our pilots said they found a... Purplish colored spacecraft with some claws orbiting around a planet via telescope, they say it's a few million miles away.
Bingo! That should be my Personal Ship. I'll be there (not like I have another Choice)!

Do you happen to see a green and cyan colored spacecraft a few thousand feet away? They're sending a SETI signal to make sure, and we can pick it up all the way from Mutypla
Yeah, the Colours Match, and our Head Scientist here says that it is approximately a few thousand feet away... Looking good! And yes, the SETI Radar is having a Lightshow Party over here...

Hello there! I just wanted to thank the Grubmaw Empire for helping Emperor and Captain Bascaran return to Eiranos.
Hi, uh. Allow us to introduce ourselves.[]
Our JCompany have a Science JDivision, where our JCreepy employees, the best scientists in JSector, conducts various scientic projects, including genetic engineering! We sent them in their Scientist JSpaceships to Mutypla to help your researchers with these bizarre creatures becoming tribal!
Also, how about we open a trade route to trade more knowledge and science tech? We sure can find something like that to trade in our JEmporium!We'll let our scientists and officials down at Mutypla that you are welcome in our presence. We are glad to accept your trade offer. Hopefully we can resolve this issue together. We've already received signals of alien transmissions on our planet, and it doesn't look like you guys.
Thank you for accepting our offer! This may help us to deal with such issue!
So such aggressive tribal aliens can already do transmissions? They are developing technology fast!
If this situation escalates too much, our scientists developed various calibers of gravitational weapons to deal with any hostile technology used against us both! Hope we don't have to use them, but our scientists are ready for any situation!Do you happen to have any sort of translator technology we could use to possibly speak to them? Our's doesn't work.
Sure! All our JSpaceships have the JTranslator, our universal translator, as standard equipment! It can translate our JLanguage, your Grubmolian and any other language! I will inform our scientists to allow your scientists and officials to use it, so we can read the alien transmissions!
We don't think that we can even begin to mention the things these creatures are saying- we say this merely out of respect for all the life out there and the horrible things they're saying. We'll try to release out a transcript of the interview recently conducted with our lead scientist.
Hum...
I think we should search for such Chieftain Iero, that can help us to understand the problem with the transmissions!
I am sending some JCutes for support, in their Diplomat JSpaceships. They are problem solvers! They can help us to negociate with the aliens, if necessary.
We should also search for the "rogue" lab mentioned. It may have some answers!That interview is a bunch of lies made up by your government to cover up the truth. We have nothing to do with these transmissions.
Seeing how we've tracked the location of your communications our agents are arriving and have the area secured by land, sea, and water. Congratulations, you messed up.
Tyro, are you offended by the mention of "Iero" in the chieftain's name?
Hum... I just received a report from my JCute ambassadors! They raised some points about the interview! We can offer some interrogation techniques training, along with Super Happy Ray technology to help it! Maybe with this we may get some true, direct, honest, and even heartful answers! It will work better than electric shocks, trust me!
Grubmaw DNA, coincidences, nothing here makes sense in the new interview.
What plot twist! Glad our Super Happy Ray could help! My scientists asked to help with the DNA and ancestor tests! That's their expertise area, after all! Such tests should clarify these apparently family questions!
Well, the Super Happy Ray sure provides a fast, intense experience! We can offer some less intense, slower experience, like the Mini Happy Ray or the average Happy Ray, not much effective for interrogations, but ideal for long-term, safe and stable psychological treatments! Our JCutes can offer such psychological support to Tyrolox, and teach such techniques to your people, to help him overcome this trauma!
Problems to sleep? We can offer you some blue spice, to help you rest better when you get time to do so, then you will be well rested when returning to the next shift work!
Here's what I found on milkipedia: How to take over the galaxy. Would you like to open the article?
Artificial Intelligence Problems, I see. This is rather entertaining, actually.
May I just say that I am concerned? This AI appears to have too many Violent and Wrong-Minded Ideas.
That's great! If you need any help with the Dyson sphere, you can count with us!
We from JCompany are knowledgeable in works with Dyson Swarms, Rings, Bubbles, Shells and Webs! Dyson megastructures for all tastes and budgets!
I already warned my representants at our trade routes and trade posts that they can be asked for details!I don't think it can run on any new OS for computers. Uhmmm. I mean- we could always downgrade... Windows... XK? Maybe 10? No- I don't think 10 can run anymore. Maybe Windows ∞? No- Wait. That's set to re-release for next year.
What a coincidence! Spore happens to be the most played game here in JSector! Everyone have it and play it a lot! I have theorized that the main reason of the game success here, even after at least 800 years, is how easy it is for the players to create themselves in the game!...
We from JCompany developed an OS of our own that can play such old games: the JWindows! It's like Windows ∞, but it's open source, is compatible with lots of old technologies, and don't have lots of evil and bad stuff that comes with Windows ∞, like forced updates, forced subscriptions, back doors, intrusive ads, imposed use of Windows ∞ products, spywares, DRM, censorship, bugs and flaws, etc..
The OS is free, we charge just for special plugins, customization and support! We are sending shipments with physical copies of the game, game expansions and the OS to our trade routes and trade posts, and also providing digital copies in the JWeb, along with all known mods, including the most recent ones! Check it out!Wait a minute- how would the humans even know of the Grox before they were spacefaring- IS THIS A COINCIDENCE? THIS CONFUSES ME.
What we from JSector know about humanity are that they are driven by imagination and curiosity! Imagination made they create science fantasy, making guesses of what they may encounter in the future! Curiosity made they sent probes to Space, allowing them to learn the mysteries of Space, even before they were spacefaring! I think that maybe the combination of both enabled a lucky guess!
But we cannot say for sure, as our knowledge about humanity is limited. Most empires in JSector never ventured outside JSector, becoming too busy at that stupid JWar! We from JCompany managed to recently venture outside our sector, and even outside our galaxy, but we never meet a human personally too!
Everything we know about humanity came from one of their probes, that we found in JSector a long time ago! The Spore game was there, among with other human items, as if the humans wanted us, or any other alien civilization, to find the probe and learn about them!
Today, that original copy of Spore, along with all the other items found in the probe, and the probe itself, are showed at the JMuseum, and treat as relics!Wait, wait, wait... if Maxisoft Studios are the Grox, then the Spore game is just... Grox propaganda? Maybe that explain why Maxisoft choose to retrate in the game a period of time where the Grox was one of the largest and most powerful empires in the universe?
I don't know... like, why the Grox would even care about use propaganda on humans? And why they would put themselves in the game as villains, even going to the point to call themselves The Devil?
Maybe the game could instead be a warning about the Grox threat! Is Maxisoft Studios telling us to... search for Steve? Maybe the game itself was made by Steve, to warn the humans not just of the future of the galaxy and the universe, but of the future of Earth itself!
Maybe also the game would be made not just warn the humans, but other species as well, going to the point of put the game in space probes and dispatch them to the cosmos, for any spacefaring civilization to find them! That would explain a lot...Wow, I had no idea that Maxisoft was still around!
Hello, guys! Congratulations for the prized game! You have bring happiness and joy to trillions of people of many generations for hundreds of years!
I think you guys will be even more grateful by knowing that the Grox Empire is not around anymore to hack your games, threat to destroy Earth or do any other kind of trouble!Hey, nice to see Mutypla up and running! There are some time since we from JCompany helped there!
We are organizing caravans from every empire of JSector to visit your festival! The JSluggers looks particulary enthusiastic, they love traveling!
I think I will visit there myself too! Mutypla, here we go!
4 billion people were living on our moon when it was suddenly blown up without any warning to our radars. We are currently working on finding those who are responsible for this terrorist attack.
Hail to Spode.
Salutations From the Solariean Empire[]
Salutations, President Somonthalle Nathilik. Rest assured that I too hope that we can maintain positive relations. We aspire not for war, but for peace and diplomacy after all.
Incoming broadcast from JSector[]
This is a very special day to JMTV, because this is our very first transmission broadcasted to the entire Gigaquadrant! We probably should have asked the JAlliance or the JHorde them opinions about our move, but since them are too busy in that silly JWar of theirs, we thought: You know what? Let's "JUST DO IT!", as our favorite coach JSlugger would say.
With that, we expect a huge increase in our audience! If you are one of the folks that are watching us for the first time, allow me to introduce myself: I am Galactic Star JGoofy, leader of the JGoofy empire, transmiting from the JGoofy planet! It's less confusing once you get accostumed with this JTradition: the leader and the homeworld of a JSpecies can be named after the JSpecies. Simple, isn't it?
We JGoofies are the social, outgoing entertainers of the JSector, and our JMTV is the main TV channel of all empires in this sector! Hopefully, now we may also spread our JWay beyond too!
So, our dear new and old audience, sit back and enjoy!
JLadies and JGentlemen, JRock and JRoll!
Wow, our very first fan from another galaxy!
Salutations, fellow Primus Capiti JMTV spectator! Thank you for your interest in JMTV and JGoofy empire, and for replying to us! We sure will feel welcome in this Gigaquadrant if we got groupies as nice and beautiful as yourself!

Hello, JMTV spectator!... hum, linguistic malfunction, you say? I am not sure if its can be our fault or not...
You see, here in JSector, all JEmpires speak the JLanguage, and I am speaking JLanguage right now. But according our tech guys, the broadcast utilizes a universal translator, so our spectators receives something understandable, even if you don't know the JLanguage.
So I can try to fix the translator right now and see if this solve the problem. Just give me a moment...

Sorry for the trouble spectator, the n... the tech guys said that the problem was that something in the code was "msg" when it was supposed to be "message", or something like that. I don't understood exactly, but the problem may be fixed right now.
If the problem persists, feel free to contact us again! That kind of stuff can happen all the time in live television, especially when aired first time.I'll be tuning in as well, this looks interesting.
Hello, Lsjanpodos spectators! Yes, our JTraditions always catch the attention of everyone, inside and outside JSector! If it's JEntertainment you want, you can always tune into JMTV! So, dear Miss President and Mister Grand Chief General, here's some JMusic for you all to enjoy!
Salutations from the Neipasians.[]
You're located in the Carina arm- is this not correct? With our wormhole warping abilities, we should be able to find a star closest to the signal you gave us. Some spice for simplicity?
Warping and wormhole travel sounds interesting. We'll send our trade ships on their way.
We can trade everything, from spice to resources and technology, and we accept any and all forms of payment!
We are from JSector in the Norma-Outer Arm! Relatively close! Just around the corner!
Just say a word, and we will dispatch our best Trader JSpaceships from here to deliver our best goods right to your doorstep, by a nice, prosperous and fast trade route!We'll accept.

Maxisoft's Announcement board[]
We from JCompany periodically organize events involving Spore, so we have lots of potential beta testers to offer you, from casual and professional players to mod creators and developers!
All our citizens and employees are also excited with the early access trial of Spore 2!What? No. Of course not. We're not letting them hold us for ransom this time. Any further questions other than that?
Will be possible to create humans in the new Creature Editor? The results are... less than perfect in the original Spore game without use mods, but at least create JSpecies is easy!
Well, of course. What did you think kept the near 800 year wait? We had to research human anatomy and nearly every single detail of specimens on Earth, even those alien to us. Oh, and the cost to launch and make our own spaceship. Spore 2's creature editor will be 10x as more free, customizable, and life-like with photo-realistic textures and customizable animations.

- If you are wondering if we are new to the cosmos, you are incorrect. My people have bugged me to set up communications with the xeno-life forms that inhabit this universe. Very well then. Allow us to introduce our glorious empire to you aliens.
- I am Overlord Rein, current ruler of the Dimentosian Great Empire. We are mostly peaceful, but we are only peaceful because we know that entering war with another empire would only inconvenience us, so don't believe the lies that some of our citizens say about us being "cowards".
- If one of you wishes to open up trade, then we shall. We don't have much in god-like technology, but we do have minerals and resources- along with servants, if anybody would wish for them.
