[20:10] I start with whoever's here [20:10] party spawns on Battery (or in fighters nearby) in Creator space [20:10] Defiler fleet is taking out the remaining escorts [20:10] gimme a moment to finish putting my laundry away. [20:11] and then I'll wake up [20:12] * FireFalcon does a barrel roll? [20:12] FF drives into Battery [20:12] I'm ON it. [20:13] But ok. [20:13] * NATO rolls the barrel [20:13] * Trump_Card uses mechanic kit to repair something [20:13] Trump repairs his sex drive [20:14] XD [20:14] * Grue forgets who he was copiloting [20:14] * NATO upgrades his sex driver [20:14] FF, wasn't it? [20:14] :D [20:14] Trump [20:14] oh [20:14] no wait [20:14] FF [20:14] KF was with Trump [20:14] see, thought so [20:14] * Grue watches his radar screen equivalent [20:14] area cleared [20:14] Defilers are recovering anything of value [20:14] * FireFalcon teleports onto Battery, leaving Moo alone. >.> [20:14] you may return to base [20:14] * Grue nabs the pilots seat? [20:14] * Trump_Card follows FF [20:14] "Speaking of, what'd you find?" [20:15] [comm] Still working on that. [20:15] anyone not on board lands, I guess :P [20:15] Jump! [20:15] * Grue lands, then [20:16] still folding here :P [20:16] I have a surprising number of tshirts [20:17] Just wear the same one for a week. <_< [20:17] and apart from the one I was wearing today, and my two lightweight walking shirts, and my shirt with the flashing panel (don't ask), they were all washed today [20:17] That should cut down on your laundry. [20:17] Rip your shirts to pieces like the Hulk. [20:17] FF enters portal [20:17] unlike you, personal hygiene matters to me :) [20:17] Pfft. [20:17] Trump LIVES in his chair. [20:18] :P [20:18] FF arrives at... hell I don't know, somewhere. Excal I guess [20:19] :o [20:19] well, unlike trump, I have one of those... watchacallums? [20:19] boobs? [20:19] * FireFalcon sends a probe to FMA capital (SP02) [20:19] nope [20:19] not them [20:19] Lives? [20:19] Moobs? [20:19] SP02 empty. [20:19] Moo boobs? [20:19] that's the one, trump :) [20:19] no, lives [20:20] k [20:20] * FireFalcon checks data we stole from that station. [20:20] heavily encrypted [20:20] Excal and the Defiler CS are working on breaking it [20:20] * Trump_Card uses Gunbot to... Oh wait.. Nevermind. [20:21] * penguin_ has joined #cfirc [20:21] "so, what are we here for again? do we even have a clue?" [20:21] "Nope." [20:21] * penguin has quit IRC (Quit: Peng timeout) [20:21] "hmm" [20:21] * penguin_ has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer) [20:21] * penguin has joined #cfirc [20:21] * ChanServ sets mode: +h penguin [20:21] [comm, Kurt] Well.. thaks for saving us all. [20:21] "Again?" [20:21] [comm] Again. [20:21] "Right." [20:21] "What is it with us and saving people?" [20:21] [comm] Though our fleets are so badly attritted I don't know how we can possibly protect the entire galaxy. [20:21] "It pays good." [20:22] "We're the goodish guys?" [20:22] "Well, you know, who the hell would attack now?" [20:22] [comm] Also, Pandora and her fleet are MIA. [20:22] (Pandora is who again?) [20:22] [comm] But there's nothing left in the Harbinger galaxy for them to harvest. [20:22] controller AI for Prometheus [20:22] "And the most we can hope for is that she was somewhat raped on her arrival. [20:22] " [20:22] x.x [20:23] "So what do we do now?" [20:23] "I..." [20:23] [comm] We're sending probes to check. [20:24] * FireFalcon starts sending dropships full of construction drones to SP02 planets. >.> [20:24] so, harbys are all dead? [20:24] Bscly. [20:24] effectively [20:24] * Trump_Card looks for random spare parts and other random things [20:24] Pandora used her erad on their galaxy. [20:24] the friendly ones still have a decent population left [20:24] And their fleet was beat up somewhat badly as well. [20:24] Trump finds two pieces of hull plating, a flashlight, and a badger [20:24] So they're in no position to backstab us. [20:25] * Trump_Card takes [20:25] * Trump_Card gives FF the badger [20:25] * FireFalcon pets it like an evil villan? [20:25] I'm still mostly worried about the red bloody/shadowy stuff. [20:26] oh yeah [20:26] It'll be back. [20:26] Someday. [20:26] [comm] About that. [20:26] a winnar is me [20:26] "Fury, I scanned that sh- nvm." [20:26] [comm] It would appear that the fluid is a way of them spreading; when energized, it can create the things. [20:26] "So yeah. Procreation. Called it." [20:26] [comm] So apparently they had some kind of infinitely effective cooling on our drives. [20:27] [comm] But even that in sims isn't enough to get us that far. [20:27] :o [20:27] [comm] However, we did get one thing out of it. [20:27] "yay?" [20:27] "A gun?" [20:28] [comm] They have the technology to map trans-d space to ours much more effectively than we can [20:28] "They used quantum level hax." [20:28] [comm] This gives us a massive max range boost on the things. [20:28] "Aww, I was hoping for some good news." [20:28] "...And you want us to steal it." [20:28] "Or, hope to god here, did they leave a copy of it?" [20:28] [comm] No, we already have it. It's being sent to you as we speak. [20:28] "Awesome." [20:28] "Oh, it IS good news. Excellent." [20:28] range boost on "things"? [20:28] * NATO clicks and wurrs to life [20:29] ProbeNATO! [20:29] FTL, CS [20:29] Drone [20:29] [comm] Essentially, we no longer need command ship scale engines to do intergalactic travel. [20:29] :P [20:29] "That's... pretty damn good, isn't it?" [20:29] same thing >_> [20:29] DroNATO? [20:29] [comm] Now we can't go EVERYWHERE and there's a much longer travel time involved in doing that. [20:29] [comm] I don't supposed you feel like testing it. [20:29] -d [20:29] Of course we do! [20:30] "I should've guessed". [20:30] Where's my command ship! :o [20:30] "Where to?" [20:30] "...Actualy, I have to drop the kiddies off." [20:30] "So, yes, good idea." [20:30] CS - badly damaged and in for repairs. [20:30] good enough for me [20:30] * FireFalcon jumps to K space [20:30] Battery then? [20:30] Spoilers: We get lost in the middle of the universe. [20:30] FF enters portal [20:30] yes. [20:30] or this is a way of bringing in a new enemy. [20:30] and e1 is gonna pin it on us :P [20:30] [comm] One last thing. I should warn you, the problem of not getting precise locks still exists. [20:30] "..." [20:30] Lost it is. [20:30] :) [20:31] "How bad?" [20:31] <@Trump_Card> Spoilers: We get lost in the middle of the universe. [20:31] Battery arrives at K space [20:31] <_< [20:31] [Fury] Extrapolating from these drive plans, uh, we could end up a few light years off if we head to the nearest unexplored galaxy. [20:31] "Only a few?" [20:31] * NATO sets up some kind of perma conection to some kinda becon in known space [20:31] [Fury] Well consider how BIG the things are. [20:31] * FireFalcon teleports the students off board [20:31] NATO - max comm range [20:32] students arrive on planet [20:32] ? [20:32] "So... when you said a few, you meant "a very long way", yes? [20:32] "And if that one kid who passed asks where we've/you've been, ignore him. >.>" [20:32] *" [20:32] him/her [20:32] It. [20:32] * CS gives students their degrees. Hope you all grow up to be people someday! [20:32] Yes. [20:32] * FireFalcon slaps CS [20:32] lol FF and CS being teachers. [20:32] CS is.... I dunno. [20:33] [Fury] I can't possibly see how we'd get that far off course. [20:33] "CS, what would those students say if they knew about your mum?" [20:33] "But it's possible?" [20:33] (the degrees are made of cyanide! its a test!) [20:33] "They prolly know, Moo.' [20:33] [Fury] Not within our max operable range. [20:33] "True." [20:33] [Fury] Upgrades complete. [20:33] "Well, good." [20:33] "Are we going to do this, then?" [20:33] Well lets give it a hop going.... *spins a gun on the table* [20:33] "Where do you intend us to jump to then?" [20:33] "one sec" [20:34] * NATO finishes torrents [20:34] "ok" [20:34] * CS points the direction the gun is. "THAT WAY!" [20:34] ... [20:34] * FireFalcon punches CS in the neck [20:34] FF breaks hand :o [20:34] "Don't order my ship around. :o" [20:34] * NATO rolls a 40K scater dice [20:34] NATO rolls critical failure [20:34] o_o [20:34] So yes./ [20:34] Where to? [20:34] XD [20:35] that way. -----> [20:35] Well [20:35] "where do we want to go today?" [20:35] the result won't change depending on where you go if where you wind up is unexplored :P [20:35] "Home." [20:35] * FireFalcon jumps to SP01 [20:35] Oh. [20:35] CS. [20:35] We assaulted SP01. [20:35] FF enters portal [20:35] we couldn't find your generator. [20:35] SPO1? [20:35] its still phased. [20:35] Nothing. [20:36] SDS would've picked it up. :P [20:36] phased/cloaked. [20:36] * CS leaves a message beacon for it anyways [20:36] (hey, e1, have we used a VDA at any point in the game yet?) [20:36] (Very Dangerous Array) [20:36] no [20:36] pity. [20:36] KF has brought them up many times [20:36] A what. [20:37] FF: [20:37] in essence, you launch a LOT of missiles/torpedoes/whatever [20:37] ... [20:37] Yeah. [20:37] Battery arrives at SP01. empty. [20:37] We have that. [20:37] it's called launching an entire volley. [20:37] command them to maintain position over a wide area from the ship [20:37] What IS SP01? [20:37] and use their inferior sensors to make a HUGELY detailed sensor array [20:37] Nothing, NATO. [20:37] * CS coo's softly for generator :D [20:38] it also gives you the plus side that your torpedoes are already launched :) [20:38] Yeah. [20:38] No. [20:38] ... [20:38] See. [20:38] Our sensors are so damn advanced, that'd be a waste of time. [20:38] "Why don't we test how off this thing is at long distance jumps [20:38] CS - that is disturbing [20:38] And Torps can't see cloaked craft. [20:38] well, "see" [20:38] Which sensors can. [20:39] That's a big disadvantage already. [20:39] * CS crouches down "comaaaaan! comaan boy!" *claps* [20:39] nothing happens [20:39] * FireFalcon laughs [20:39] * Trump_Card scans for rapeclowns [20:39] Trump finds them everywhere [20:39] :D [20:40] * Grue scans for snacks [20:40] * CS grumbles and keeps the thingy there [20:40] Grue finds CS [20:40] SNAKEZ [20:40] SNAKES ON A CZAR [20:40] "I think there's something wrong with these sensors." [20:40] "They say CS is a snack." [20:40] * FireFalcon waits for Fury to say something smart-assed. [20:40] ...-ed +esque [20:40] whateve [20:40] r [20:41] "I'm delicious." [20:41] Nibble on me! [20:41] * FireFalcon calls up a porn vid where CS' mother says the same thing. [20:41] * Trump_Card nibbles on a cookie CS [20:42] * everyone waits for someone to DO something [20:42] * CS ejaculates on trump_card's toungue [20:42] uhm [20:42] timing :D [20:42] I definately did something >_> [20:42] * Trump_Card presses the plot forward button [20:42] but yeah. [20:42] * FireFalcon jumps back to Excal, leaving the probe for the Generator or something [20:42] lets go back to where we got the neato stuff? [20:42] That works. [20:42] and the blood and what not. [20:42] * FireFalcon belays and jumps to where we found that BC with the red shit. [20:43] ... [20:43] "is that really a good idea?" [20:43] out of range [20:43] "Why not?" [20:43] Aww. [20:43] * FireFalcon thinks. [20:43] "What happened last time?" [20:43] Wonder if I could chase the explorers out again... [20:43] How many jumps would we have to do to get there? [20:43] Then see if I could follow. [20:43] [Fury] 7,412. [20:43] ok. [20:43] ...wooooh. [20:44] "Lets see if we can steal an Explorer ship!" [20:44] "Let's not try that, then..." [20:44] lets just go to the next door galaxy? [20:44] * FireFalcon tries CS' idea [20:44] "Good plan, CS" [20:44] [Fury] Activating drives. [20:44] Minefield. [20:44] Battery enters portal [20:44] Other side of the unknown universe [20:45] Im thinking legion of the fish comback? [20:45] No. [20:45] E1 hated them... [20:45] Granted he hated the Ascendants too... [20:45] sort of [20:45] The red fluid was made from the LotF! [20:45] they were too effective. [20:45] ROFL [20:45] From/by [20:45] mm. [20:45] needs more Space badgers. [20:46] [Fury] Arriving in 3.. 2.. 1... exiting. [20:46] [Fury] THAT IS A STAR IN FRONT OF US REVERSE THRUST [20:46] MASSIVE BATTLE [20:46] * Grue scans local space [20:46] .. [20:46] Thats what she said. [20:46] all of you, put together. [20:46] * Trump_Card gets out and pushes [20:46] * CS reverse thrusts! [20:46] "ow, ow ow owwwwwww hot!" [20:46] Moo - local system is effectively empty. [20:46] * Trump_Card also farts [20:46] [Fury] We're clear. Forward shields at 40%. [20:47] * Grue reroutes power to shield repairs? [20:47] yay. [20:47] anyways. [20:47] * NATO scans area [20:47] * FireFalcon spawns a bear in the star. [20:47] scans around! [20:47] * Trump_Card scans sector [20:47] Moo - local system is effectively empty. <--- CS [20:47] FF cannot do that [20:47] ah. [20:47] right. [20:47] Trump - your ship is not powerful enough [20:47] * Grue scans whatever can be scanned [20:47] well [20:48] * NATO drops a relay beacon [20:48] So we're extragalactic now? [20:48] Yes. [20:48] KF: apparently [20:48] * CS deploys an abundance of probes to jump around until they find something neato. [20:48] What is the range of the sensors? [20:48] We've got Battery with us... anything else? [20:48] no. [20:48] approx 25LY, Trump [20:48] KF - just that and what's on board [20:48] kk. [20:48] ... [20:49] * Trump_Card scans the maximum range of the sensors [20:49] Why the fuck do you have SotS labelled as pop, iTunes? [20:49] rofl. [20:49] * Killfrenzy makes a dropship full of condrones for now and goes to look at sensors. [20:49] Trump locates lots of empty space [20:49] SotS = ? [20:49] Starchart! [20:49] Song. [20:49] (lolz.( [20:49] CS' probes locate a small station [20:49] :o [20:49] KF: read as condoms. [20:49] "Jump!" [20:49] it appears to be inferior technology to yours, but inhabited [20:49] jump! [20:50] dropship full of condoms! :D [20:50] new species! [20:50] [Fury] Jumping. [20:50] to there we go [20:50] or something [20:50] "What's the nearest star other than the one in this system?" [20:50] irrelevant now, no? :P [20:50] Bah. [20:50] From the sensor data we're getting as we go around, begin piecing together a starchart of this place. [20:50] KF - this is automatic [20:50] o ok [20:51] party arrives [20:51] [Fury] Attempting to match comm systems. Stand by. [20:51] * FireFalcon deploys a probe [20:51] Scout it, etc [20:51] I want blueprints [20:51] :o [20:51] scan! [20:51] and yes, scan [20:51] * CS just waits [20:51] [Fury] Scanning. [20:51] [Fury] Link established. [20:51] [comm, station] Who the HELL are you? [20:51] "Not that I care...Hi!" [20:51] Something tells me that we should be friendly with these people [20:52] (Is Kurt with us?) [20:52] "I'm Jesus!" :D [20:52] * FireFalcon punches CS again [20:52] KF - no [20:52] "Try to act professional?" [20:52] "Who are YOU!" [20:52] [comm] We have no record of your ship type. [20:52] "No, we're from a few million light years that way." [20:52] "...Yes. That works." [20:52] "Hi, we're from out of town." [20:52] "We're... actually, that's a very long story. And no, you wouldn't." [20:52] [comm] I am the commander of this station, protecting Nin space. [20:52] "Yes, we're from thataway." [20:52] "...nin?" [20:52] "Nin?" [20:52] "I hate that band." [20:52] "Let's just say that we're not from around here." [20:52] [Fury] Translator can't get a match. [20:52] (*stabtrucks E1*) [20:53] "Alright." [20:53] NIN! [20:53] * FireFalcon points at CS [20:53] "He's a Defiler [20:53] * FireFalcon points at Grue "He's a human." [20:53] [comm] You have multiple species? [20:53] * FireFalcon points at KF "That's a good question as to what the fuck he is." [20:53] [Fury] Biologically, they're human. [20:53] "And I'm a Krystophoani..." [20:53] "Except me." [20:53] Did I spell taht right? [20:53] Krysta* :P [20:53] ah [20:53] Krystaphaoni [20:53] :P [20:53] and .. KF [20:53] a before o [20:53] "According to our scanners, your people are very like me." [20:54] "So, how long has this been nin space?" [20:54] [comm] How did you get here? Are you fleeing them too? [20:54] "Them?" [20:54] [comm] Several hundred years. [20:54] (oh this sounds good) [20:54] "Who?" [20:54] "Several Hundreds..." [20:54] [comm] You do not know? [20:54] "Uh, I don't know your measurement systems." [20:54] [Fury] Translator, bitch. [20:54] "But do they have ships about 1800 KM big?" [20:54] [Fury] It does numbers too. [20:54] haha [20:54] "Please be more specific, we've butted heads with multiple... thems before." [20:54] [comm] Some time ago we created an AI to serve us. [20:54] "Ah." [20:54] (bets on the red shadow people, or... pandora" [20:54] .... [20:54] "Oh boy."

[20:55] (guess not that) [20:55] "Ok, not them." [20:55] [comm] We do not name them because to do so would be to say that they deserve one. [20:55] "Do they resemble puddles of reddish yummys?" [20:55] [comm] ... not at all. [20:55] "Quiet, CS." [20:55] "Those didn't eat ships." [20:55]
