The Lost Fleet

Cosmicdestroyer

From the Nemesis, com devices start speaking a single message, from the voice of the Admiral: “ Greeting, fellow space faring civilizations. We are here to trade. We would like a single editor, for our own research. Whichever side gives us this, our Navy shall attack the opposing side."

We are ready to bargain.

So I'm really sorry for the delay on this, but I just ran into MASSIVE amounts of writer's block concerning where this event was supposed to go. To that end, I'm just gonna wrap the entity part of this up preemptively. Overall, I think we as a RP group have passed the age of gods and entities, and Contemplator just doesn't really fit into the greater story of the galaxy anymore without me godmodding something awful.

I've done some messed up shit, but that's one thing I try to stay well away from. Therefore...

Without further response, the Hedron turns and vanishes back into the rift, dragging the Lost Fleet with it as the rift seals behind the fleet, leaving drifting wreckage and stunned observers....and the blasted remains of one Old Imperial dataship.

...a few minutes after the ships had left, a quite large Ascendnat Dawn fleet entered the area through several hyperspace rifts, which had apparently been prepared while the battle was still raging...
Now faced with the emptyness and the other present fleets, the Dawn fleet stood there idly for a while, scanning the area, eventually detecting the dataship...
In response to this a message was broadcasted to all present fleets...
/Broadcast Start/
"All present fleets stand back from the data ship, this is High Imperium property, any approach to the proximity of the vessel will be considered a hostile action!"
/Broadcast End/
...the present AD fleet had almost three fourths the size of the Imperium fleet that just vanished so abruptly, amongst several Jericho, Storm and Prophet class dreadnoughts, a large amount of cruisers and countless smaller craft, two extremely bulky and heavy looking ships stood at the far end of the fleet, about the size of dreadnought, their entire front covered by a broad metallic shield...
[some visuals coming later]

Cosmicdestroyer CRCKI Transmission: Greetings! We can send a person to negotiate trade. We have no information about 'editors', we do not know what they are.

The large gravitational Anomaly remains, but appears to have stopped its pull on the fleets, despite a visible distortion of light in the area it resides..

---Thisz is CETA, Any attempt to retreive the dataship will be crushed, the dataship has been evaluated as threat level 8, and must be destroyed, move your ships from the immediate vicinity or face collateral damage.---

RedAndCosmoteer

LeftHandofGod but I just ran into MASSIVE amounts of writer's block concerning where this event was supposed to go.

It was supposed to go this way:

Alternate Imperium invades forumverse

but whatever this is fine too

CRCKI Transmission: Christ, fine! Do not open fire or you'll have a big problem!

...after a while a transmission returned from the AD fleet, the man speaking was...astoundingly calm...
/Transmission Start/
"So what you´re saying is that you´d destroy any force that would attempt to grab the data from this ship? Am I correct?"
/Transmission End/
...the fleet stood there idly as it was already a decent distance away from the field to begin with...

Mojowuq9 CRCKI likes christ?

wow

Mojowuq9

RedAndCosmoteer He's a nice dude, according to the Bible. Remember that the CRCKI is a bit childish in their beliefs.

Transmission:

"Please place your representative in a shuttle and have the shuttle travel to the exact mid point between our 2 flagships. We shall do the same. Your shuttle may be armed, but it may not be an assault shuttle."

A shuttle detaches from the nemesis, and travels toward the meeting point.

Mojowuq9

Cosmicdestroyer A small shuttle is Graviton-flinged into the area, at the midpoint. We sent Data Monk Sarah.

Cosmicdestroyer

Mojowuq9
As soon as the 2 shuttles are within range, an audio- only transmission is sent.

"Do you have any technology that can change the the molecular structure of a given element?"

Mojowuq9

Cosmicdestroyer No, we do not.

RedAndCosmoteer

Cosmicdestroyer molecular structure of a given element

(Something about this seems... off... 🤔)

...as the transmission from the dataship went outwards a few moments later another transmission was sent from the AD fleet towards the EL...
/Transmission Start/
"Well it appears some of the information has escaped and then been intercepted by these "Bloodmonger" ships over there, what will you do next?"
/Transmission End/
...whoever spoke seemed to be somewhat amused about that fact, though despite his attitude several of the mid-sized ships activated their weapon systems and started changing their spinal axis, now pointing towards the Bloodmonger ships...
Then another transmission went out...
/Transmission Start/
The information you have just received is a potential threat to this galaxy, it would be adivsed to remove it from your datacaches for your own "safety" if you know hat I mean."
/Transmission End/

Cosmicdestroyer

Mojowuq9
After some hesitation, another audio only transmission is sent from the Blood Monger shuttle.

"How advanced are your 3D printers?"

The transmission ends with harsh static.

Mojowuq9

Cosmicdestroyer The Bloodchurch remnants, which are integrated with us could 3D-print soul templates for souldroids.

17 mercurial class cruisers exit a hyper-spatial tunnel, their forwards velocity causing them to travel forwards a bit, allowing space for the next ship to exit the hyper spatial tunnel. the sheer size of the ship causes the tunnel to collapse, but the ship gets through safely.(It is the ship in my profile pic, can be found here: https://i.imgur.com/nQvfWZq.jpg)

The 28 million credit Supremacy class mega dreadnought, the Ultimatium.
A transmition exits the Supremacy, and travels towards Drakador_Chaos 's ships.

"Is that to be perceived as a threat? For your safety, you better hope not. We have a much larger task force in FTL right now."

A transmition exits the nemesis, and heads towards Mojowuq9 's ships.

"How much do you wish for some of this 'bloodchurch'?"

---That isz correct, do not make any attempt to retreive the dataszhip, any attempt to retreive the dataszhip will be crushed.---

Small ships are detaching from the formation now, and hang in space below the main EL subformation.

---All combatantsz are hereby warned that any interferencze will be szeen asz an act of war.---

The ships fire their thrusters and begin to speed toward the dataship.

---All who perpetrate an act of war againszt the Ever Legion will be Desztroyed, regardlessz of threat level.---

...the fleet stands by idly, doing...nothing?
/Transmission Start/
"Well it appears we are fine with that, as long as nobody else gets the data, feel free to desintegrate the craft as much as it pleases you."
/Transmission End/
