Server has crashed, will resume if it restores in the next 10 minutes, if not then will resume in an hour, if it is still not up then will resume on Thursday from this month.

[The_Mather1]

Ahh, I thought it was my internet again (using my old computer, for got the charger for my new one at school).

 

Did you get the encryption method?

[The_Mather1]

Server's back up.

[Leiana]

:huh: Alrighty, what did I miss after falling asleep on monday (first time ever)? I was still wiped out from my Saturday to Sunday exhaustion. Thats what I get for working/trying to behave myself on saturday and then skating my bum off on sunday. I'm planing to volenteer at the rink and get the scholarship I can get :grin: . So anyway: WHAT DID I MISS ON MONDAY??????? :unsure:

[Nexaduro]

Administrative decisions concerning the refugees and a rather interesting battle.

[Leiana]

Oooooo. Results of the battle? Note to self: Start training next session. Should I go melee (as in knifes, swords, or better yet staffs [aka. I hit people in the head with a long metal pole] ect.) or ranged (guns [yawn], bow n arrows, ect.)? Hmmmm starting to like pole idea.

[Earth]

I'm usually the mele specialist, but if you want i can make you some throing knives. Chop off a mans arm at a good distance, and they make no sound.

[Nexaduro]

Pah, as if those are the only options. Go with some possibilities, new can be as fun as old. Try and think of something completely unique, like my Blitz Array or Earth's Gravity Tech. Could be fun. :D

 

Anyways, what's the plan for those ships Jeremiah?

[Earth]

I also still have the grav cannon.. And i'm thinking of something like a "Man cannon in a can" Sort of dealie.. Also, mutant plant army anyone?

[Leiana]

Oooo! How about a deadly pole thats sharp on one end and if the user twists the other end it becomes a mace, a really long handle mace............ starts to come up with multiple plans for what to do with a metal pole

[Nexaduro]

Eh, Earth kinda made any new melee weapons redundant with his Grav-Edge weapons. I suggest you go through some Sci-fi books and Wikipedia, use that to start a thought process. We only use "soft" science here, so about anything's possible, you just have to think of a vague mechanism and how it could be practically applied. The idea for my Blitz Array came from a sort of electrified flail-gun idea to use if we had to fight the Mechos. Speaking of which, whatever happened to those guys?

[Earth]

Hmmmm... Maybe put that into.. Ah, i know! Spear that changes into a sniper rifle when a button is hit, grav edged blade for the spear and poison rounds for thee rifle!

[Nexaduro]

... #-o

[Corvus]

Oooooo. Results of the battle?

Okay, the results of the battle was that we repelled the British conquest of Europa, The Unity has sustained heavy damage, we have captured a Colony ship(Destoryer I think) and a Heavy Destroyer both of which suffered major damage, our aid from the Commonwealth either retreated or died, we picked up additional refugees, we are able to salvage wreckage from the battlefield, Echo escaped using the british attack as a distraction, and there was an unusual occurance aboard the Unity.

[Nexaduro]

Unusual? I can't think of anything happening on the Unity that could be considered unusual.

Mmmm.

Scans of Drake's AI core have revealed instabilities, similar to SUE, though less intense, more focused.

While the Drake AI has withdrawn entirely from the ship's onboard network, I have erected additional firewalls to prevent his access of any and all systems.

If the problem is not resolved before instability grows out of hand.(3 sessions, currently, may go up, may go down)

 

Please be advised that the Drake is unaware of all goings on, and thus is not aware of this.

 

 

 

In other news, the British have engaged in a face saving genocide of 6 million Commonwealth individuals and the rest (approximately 20 million) were in the process of mental reconditioning as slaves.

 

The Commonwealth has been appalled at this, but the British have been quick to point out that Commonwealth trade contacts brought the 6 million dead for use in the replicators. The Commonwealth has denied this, though it is an open secret that it is true and began calling for the Commonwealth Citizens and 'Every decent minded Brition to rise up against the Government before this atrocity could be completed in [its] fullest.'

 

The British, wary that the cabinet have become practically cut off from the common people, with already indoctrinated Commonwealth Slaves fulfilling all their needs, staged a minor coup, with the British Police from the Eden Halo storming the Houses of Parliment and arresting every member of the 'Britain First' coalition.

 

The British public is still deeply divided over the legality of this, with a dozen asteroid colonies declaring independance, forming the British Alliance. The Alliance looked quite strong on paper, taking five Destroyers and thirteen Escorts, however the five Destroyers were cut down to three Destroyers following ship mutinies against their Captains. Further issue occured during a raiding party against the supposedily undefended Wessex Colony, which, infact had one of the Heavy Destroyers with two Destroyers as escorts. The battle ended in pyrric victory for he Alliance, losing three Destroyers and six Escorts, gaining one colony. The British lost all three vessels.

 

 

The British themselves are in the process of a three month long election, in the meantime the Hardy Doctrine has been adopted:

Britian restricts activities to its own space for the present while.

Commonwealth Individuals are treated as second class citzens, but are allowed to keep their culture and heritage.

4D storage must be emptied at the earliest possible time.

 

The Commonwealth have made tacit agreement with the Hardy Doctrine.

 

 

Both sides now see Europa as the last salvation of Humanity, but after shocking reports (and partly fabricated) from the SI aboard the ISS Unity about the radioactive downspill of the battle that raged this month; and the potential long term effects of such, both sides have agreed to a six month truce with the Unity.

 

The British Alliance has wholy rejected the Hardy Doctrine.

 

Current strengths:

British: 1 Heavy Destroyers, 6 Destroyers and 22 Escorts.

Population: 212.8 Million (9.3% Commonwealth(20 Million), 85% British(180.9 Million), 5.7% Other(11.9 Million))

Commonwealth: 0 Heavy Destroyer, 2 Destroyers and 0 Escorts.

Population: 21.4 Million (87% Commonwealth(18.6 Million), 10% British (2.1 Million), 3% Other(0.6 Million))

British Alliance: 0 Heavy Destroyer, 0 Destroyers and 7 Escorts.

Population: 0.12 Million (100% British(0.12 Million)

Unity: 1 Heavy Destroyer, 2 Destroyers, 0 Escorts, 2 Pirahnas.

Population: 0.2125 Million (99.8% Commonwealth(0.212 Million) 0.2% Other (0.0005 Million)

 

In other other news:

The American Alpha Base has begun transmitting again. The base was thought to have been destroyed by the Russians during their invasion of the USA, however it now appears it was merely sterilised and abandoned. An American ship, dispatched after the Russians gave back Cape Canaveral, arrived recently and got in back online.

 

The Terra Blackhole has finally consumed the entire planet and has begun to evapourate.

Luna and Cruisneth will both be thrown off into space when this occurs, their locations and trajectories will determine their new resting place.

Projections show that Cruisneth has a 20% chance of entering orbit of Uranus in thirty years, 40% chance of being smashed into an astroid and 40% chance of being flung into space, leaving the solar system in forty years.

Projections show that Luna has a 10% chance of being torn apart over the next century by Mars, 20% chance of join Mars' orbit, destablising its orbit(with a 90% chance of restablishment) 20% chance of impacting on Mars, shattering both planets and a 50% chance of being flung into space, leaving the solar system in forty years.

 

The British Solar Survey has been completed, results are as follows:(populations of 10,000 or over are included, since their are literally hundreds of 1-10,000 asteroids of little consequence(These are also not included in the population figures))

Following additional study of the Alien technology the Jelly Gun's power source has been defined as a tear between dimensions, contained with an extremely high powered Thermomagnet (Which seems to be stablised by the tear, since the concept is flawed in our universe). The device seems to be extremely inefficent, firing once an hour, with the majority of the energy being used to keep the Thermomagnet stable, and electrical energy leaking into the surrounding space. This leaking makes Cloaking far less effective. The electrical energy poses no significant risk to humans, though static discharge may annoy them. Robot/Androids should be careful when handling the weapon as it may cause degradation of key systems.

Designs have also been scaled for ship-sized weapons, however these massive weapons let off considerable amounts of electrical energy and obviously pose the risk of unifying into one massive tear.

Designs for an electrical generator have also been drawn up. The effective power of the generator depends on its size, with larger generators, hence larger or more tears, producing a better efficency than singular tears. There are obvious risks of fused tears and unknown risks since we have no strong basis for understanding the mechanisms involved.

 

Additional study of Russian data files has also revealed that the Russian fleet may have withdrawn to the Blue Super Giant system to the South East of Sol(Hyperspace barings). This has been marked on the Universal Map.

Additional study of the area formerly occupied by the Swiss has turned up nothing useful.

 

Europa has been seeded and, despite minor radiation and a temperature drop of 1 Degree, due to the battle and core mining, seems to be progressing well.

 

Current resource levels are 645 kT and ship fund is 333,000.

[Seraphi]

We should use the blackhole technique to save Cruithne by making it a moon of Uranus.

[Earth]

Hmm.. If it has an atmosphere, then why not use it as a secondary Europa?

EDIT: Also, i was thinking about some stuff. We need to upgrade our equipment, but we need recources.. If it would be possible to 'create' recources using terrafoming rays, then maybe those would help?..

[Leiana]

Alrighty, at least I know what happened as i fell asleep on monday. Any casualties/did Chi get himself into trouble again? And please quit giving me ideas for a wepon for me to use, I already decided what it is, I just got to see if a) I need (them evil) techpoints and b) have the right materials. BTW: What sort of metals do we have? Also when are we on today?

 

FOR THE UNITY!!!!

@Earth

Terraforming ray?

 

@Ross:

Terra Blackhole isn't evapourated yet, more accurate projections can be made once it is...whenever that is.

[Leiana]

Anybody know what type of metals we have?

[Leiana]

Ignore previous question. All in all, I'm gonna end up with something to do.

[Earth]

Yo, Ross, I think i made the perfect weapon for you.. Called a thoughtblade. Using direct neural implants (rgo, machine connections) you could use them as a multi purpose thing. Weapon, lockpick, gun (Maybe) And other usefull things.

[Corvus]

Just so everyone knows I converted 10 of the drones into MP-Drones painted black and labeled with MP and having fake mustaches, all of which are equipped with Tranquilizers, Shield disrupting billy clubs, and Shield lapel pins, after an incident with fighting between crew members.

Also my identification puzzle is 3 degrees below zero, and I would like my puzzles reset(just a reminder)
