Sampa Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Vesper faction, already in ruins, launches a last ditch attempt to protect others from harm activates a heavy graviton bomb to try and contain the shockwave by creating a new black hole where the original used to be. the situation stabilizes, and we begin to constantly patrol and keep watch over the black hole.

InterCity Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 sorry, I couldn't resist:Vesper faction, while you were creating a black hole, we captured your rear with out space cruiser fleet. All your base are belong to us. Sincerely yours, Tau Ceti Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus then declares war on the Tau Ceti Empire.And as we are allies, I come as well, armed with 3 VSC-Ms with maximum yield warheads, and the 011 defense barrier Mk2; added basic adaptability.

Xannari Ferrows Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Psst"Hmm?"Hey, you're one of the engineers that assisted with the installation."Yeah, I was."Mind if we talked over here for a bit? I've got something I need your help with."I would, but I've been told to keep watc-"Wink"Well, you don't have to convince me.""This is the room for spare armaments, fuselages, and hull armour. Why are we here?"This is where I hid a little slip of paper with valuable information on it. Take a look."...My god. Are these blueprints?"Indeed. I want to build a ship, but I'm no expert in design."These are by far the most sophisticated blueprints I've ever seen! I'm not sure I'd be much help."Well, you can try. Even if we can't build this exactly, undoubtedly we can make something strong."I suppose. I'll have to go check with the commander to make sure thi-"Wink and smile"Or I could stay here."

Xannari Ferrows Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hears a slight whirring, which gets her to pick up her head and scan the area thoroughly.Did you hear something?"I did not. Did you?"I could have sworn I heard a whirring sound, like how a joint moves."Oh, that must be the automated camera. They're set up throughout the whole base."Camera!? ...Up there? Fires energy discharge at itI need to seal the doors... Can I borrow your solderer?"Sure."​Proceeds to solder the doors closed.​ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampa Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Security, apprehend Xannari and the engineer. I want no harm done to either of them, they have not done anything wrong (other than shooting the bloody security cameras).Contacts Xannari's personal com: "Xannari, I have sent security to pick you up and take you to my office, by force if necessary. I am asking you as a friend, I know you have not done anything wrong, but we need to talk. If you agree to meet with me on by your own will, I will call off security. If you do not comply...They have orders to stun you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xannari Ferrows Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 ...Keep going. We can't stop this.Over the comm: I'm sorry, but I can't allow myself to stop this, and I know you'd not allow it if you saw the blueprints. If your security officers attempts to intervene, I will use the 011 defense perimeter. I hope it shall not have to come to that...Keep going. I've got the hull plating fitted, so we just need to piece it together. Are you ready with the console work?"Yes. I'll have to do a bit of further integral adapting to make it fit depending on the internal hull configuration, but it wont be long."Great. See to it. We have to get this done within 1.3 centicycles.

Sampa Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Xannari, you don't know that. Think back to when we were dealing with that unstable galactic core, you suggested an off the wall move. a move that know one in their right mind would have agreed to. But I saw hope from it as I was considering the very same thing. Don't destroy the alliance we have forged over something so small as a blueprint. All I care about is, trust. You had gone behind my back and moved to speak with my men secretly. I would have allowed you to speak with them if you had asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xannari Ferrows Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 You agreed for some reason I do not understand myself, but I assume you must have known it was the only option. I only asked to know if you were on my side or not, I would've done it regardless. This is greater... No, FAR greater then the previous situation. When they come, I need to be ready.

I am not ready to call it quits on our alliance, and I hope you feel the same. Take my engineer as a token of good faith. Whatever you are up to, good luck.
