[20:14] k [20:15] * Trump_Card builds a gunbot replacement to stand in for KF while he is gone. :P [20:15] Trump builds a screwdriver instead [20:15] ship arrives at Explorer fleet [20:15] they are building a giant torpedo [20:16] "Fury. What's this thing FTL in?" [20:16] "Trans-D?" [20:16] E1, what about that thing I built last RPG? [20:16] [Fury] Both. We use trans-D for extragalactic because I don't know how to resolve jump coordinates at that range. [20:16] Trump - it explodes [20:16] "*groan*" [20:16] Aw. [20:17] "Can you derive what the Explorers use? [20:17] piss [20:17] Not trans-D. [20:17] [Fury] Not really. [20:17] "Fuck." [20:17] (what difference does it make?) [20:18] Explorers open a portal and fire torpedo into it [20:18] "should we be like ... stoping this" [20:18] "Kay." [20:18] "No." [20:18] "Fury, make a copy of yourself and leave it inactive. Have it activate when we turn this ship over to them." [20:18] [Fury] Uh, ok. [20:18] Might as well. [20:19] Right. [20:19] * FireFalcon opens comms [20:19] "My BC?" [20:19] * Trump_Card checks ship armoury again for any explorer weapons [20:19] [comm] Why do you want it back? [20:20] Trump finds none [20:20] * FireFalcon removes NewGun from this ship's armory. [20:20] "2 Reasons." [20:20] oh, in typical stupid naming, it has been christened "Multipulse" [20:20] "One, I'm having second thoughts. I really liked that BC." [20:20] Better than "Killer" [20:20] "Also, I didn't know we were going to be ripped off when the trade was intiated." [20:21] [comm] We cannot risk any race having that level of technology before they are ready for it. [20:21] "Oh?" [20:21] "We already have it." [20:21] * Trump_Card takes blueprints on how to access the Explorer sensor network [20:21] "Now, turn my fucking Battery over." [20:22] Trump recieves bacon [20:22] Explorers return Battery [20:22] * Trump_Card discards bacon and tries again [20:22] Trump recieves bacon [20:23] * Trump_Card stops pressing the receive bacon button [20:23] * NATO atempts [20:23] NATO succeeds [20:23] Hummmmmmmm bacon [20:23] Ha ha, Nato didn't get bacon. [20:23] "So, any other reasons?" [20:23] [comm] Well. We did once. [20:23] "Because that's pretty bullshit." [20:23] [comm] That race created the Revenants. [20:24] [comm] They then erected a massive barrier shield around their galaxy that prevents any energy beings from entering. [20:24] [comm] We cannot correct our own mistake. [20:24] "So you assume we'd start murdering other races en masse?" [20:24] "And do we seem like the kind of race that would make a mistake like that?" [20:25] "Do you really want to ask that question" [20:25] [comm] You, personally? We think you could handle it. Your entire race, and its allies? No. [20:25] "No?" [20:25] [comm] No. [20:25] "Not after being humbled repeatedly by the Creators and their peers?" [20:25] "Then what if we said we wouldn't give it to the rest of our race?" [20:26] [comm] We believe that you would not willingly turn it over, but you wouldn't have to do it willingly. [20:26] [comm] ... One moment. [20:26] GM toilet break. [20:26] no. [20:26] dramatic pause. [20:27] *gasp*? [20:27] Dun dun dunnnnn [20:27] This isn't lost. [20:27] I do not watch lost [20:27] no but its lost on us [20:27] :p [20:27] [comm] It appears the AI/Revenant hybrids got a single ship out to that races' galaxy. This would be bad for all parties. [20:27] "We can guess the next sentence. Coords." [20:28] [comm] If you can shut down one of the shield generators, we will assist you. [20:28] * NATO reloads [20:28] [comm] One of your friends has expressed a desire to join you on this adventure as well. [20:28] Kurtfleet arrives with impeccable timing [20:28] "We have friends?" [20:28] Or do we now go looking for random NPCs that live inside stars and near 4 massive black holes, etc? [20:28] FF recieves coordinates [20:29] Also bacon? [20:29] * FireFalcon uploads Fury into Battery and orders a jump. [20:29] no, that's just you [20:29] <_< [20:29] party (and Britt I guess) transfers to Battery [20:29] * FireFalcon comms Kurt [20:29] [comm, Explorers] We will wait outside the shield for you. Good luck. [20:29] [comm, Kurt] Yo. [20:29] "So, when are you two tying the knot?" [20:29] [comm] Did yesterday. [20:29] "HA!" [20:29] "Aha." [20:30] Right. Jump. [20:30] "..." [20:30] "I'll never undertand you fleshy types" [20:30] Battery + Kurtfleet enters portal (:P) [20:30] * FireFalcon removes NATO's carbines [20:30] :( [20:30] Wait... How did the revs get to the first galaxy we met them in if they couldn't leave their galaxy? [20:31] ok, F key fixed [20:31] * NATO beats T_C with flange [20:31] Trump - they came from this one [20:31] fleet arrives outside galactic shield [20:31] [Fury] Apparently we can't FTL through it. Will resume once on the other side. [20:31] [Fury] It'll only affect energy beings. None of us are ascended, we should be god. [20:31] +o [20:32] rofl @ god [20:32] "I AM god." [20:32] Right. [20:32] "So, can you find a generator?" [20:32] fleet passes through shield [20:32] [Fury] Yeah. Heading there now [20:32] fleet jumps [20:32] * Trump_Card is glad he isn't a half ascended being any more. :P [20:32] Kurt teleports aboard [20:33] [Kurt] I'm going to leave my fleet out of the way. From what the Explorers told me these guys' ships will be far more powerful than us and I don't want to die uselessly quite yet. [20:33] "More powerful..." [20:33] So what was that giant torp they were building? [20:33] * ArmouredFish has joined #cfirc [20:33] * ChanServ sets mode: +o ArmouredFish [20:33] AF! [20:34] "So long as they don't have Defiler-grade armor, their systems are vulernable." [20:34] modified erad to wipe out Revenants [20:34] NATO! [20:34] [Kurt] Apparently they're better. [20:34] "Groan." [20:34] "better enough to want to steal?" [20:34] fleet arrives. Kurtfleet (commanded by Cara) cloaks and moves away [20:34] Damnit AI's, stop making better technology. [20:34] this race is human(oid) [20:34] "Scan." [20:35] [Fury] Shield gen on surface. Seems unguarded. [20:35] * NATO smiles electronicalty [20:35] "Seems." [20:35] "Right. Slug the fucker." [20:35] [Fury] Probably generic overconfidence. Firing. [20:35] "Indeed." [20:35] "Rapefleet decloaks...Yeah." [20:35] Kurtfleet provides torpedo assistance. [20:35] [Fury] Shield generator badly damaged, but survived. [20:35] [Fury] It's transmitting. Jamming. [20:35] "Slug it a second time." [20:36] * NATO uses fury sanners to do close scans of tech of shield generator [20:36] [Fury] Firing again. [20:36] as it blows up 洵 [20:36] "Inhibs up." [20:36] [Fury] Generator offline. [20:36] "Lets hope they... belay." [20:36] [Fury] Activating. [20:36] [Fury] Aaand deactivating. [20:36] * NATO scans for source [20:36] "Cloak and we'll wait for the Explorers." [20:36] the Champion arrives [20:36] :P [20:37] /r/ sourse! [20:37] "What now." [20:37] [comm, Champion] We disassembled the rest of our vessels to return this one to full capacity. [20:37] "Orgy." [20:37] [comm] From here we need you to move towards this *coords* system. It contains a weapon we can use to wipe out this race, the Revenants, and I think that AI too. [20:38] "Why do we need to wipe this race out." [20:38] [comm] They created the Revenants and use them as a weapon. Do I need to explain this more? [20:38] "Right." [20:38] [Fury] Incoming unidentified cruiser. [20:38] "Hey... Can you host an Erad on that thing?" [20:39] er, mount [20:39] [comm] We already do. It will not be effective enough. [20:39] "...Alright." [20:39] [comm, cruiser] This is Rashaer space. Please leave immediately. [20:39] "Slug the AM plates. If torps are present, of course." [20:39] [Fury] Firing. [20:39] [Fury] Failed to penetrate armor. [20:39] "Fuck." [20:39] "Right, Jump." [20:39] * NATO scans impact [20:40] [Fury] They're inhibiting. [20:40] "Then that SF can do something about it." [20:40] * FireFalcon points at Champion [20:40] [comm, Champion] Rashaer cruiser, leave or WE will destroy YOU [20:40] [comm, cruiser] Not an option. [20:40] "I wonder how better their tech is..." [20:40] the cruiser fires on and damages the Champion's shields [20:40] "Hey, explorers, can we board it?" [20:40] the Champion powers its main beams and splits the cruiser in half [20:40] Or not/ [20:41] * NATO copys self onto Fury [20:41] "oh ... nevermind then" [20:41] * FireFalcon stops this by ejecting NATO into NATO. [20:41] [Fury] Powering FTL and heading to specified system [20:41] ow my mind [20:41] lolz. [20:41] lol [20:41] fleet jumps [20:41] * CS has joined #cfirc [20:41] * ChanServ sets mode: +o CS [20:41] CS! [20:41] just in time! [20:41] :D [20:41] * NATO aluters copy of self into some kind of AI weapon [20:42] We've met a new race. [20:42] IR happy, birthdays rock. [20:42] We had an explorer frigate! [20:42] and they're teeming with what are basically Explorer ships. [20:42] Let's jack one. >.> [20:42] * Trump_Card uses plotholes to summon levi [20:42] also, the Explorers' Champion starfort upgraded itself to full capacity [20:42] * FireFalcon waits to arrive! :P [20:43] it used to be deliberately downgraded to prevent tech theft [20:43] As was the Explorer frigate we got. [20:43] I'm waiting for CS to acknowledge [20:43] Can i get a profile of the new race? [20:43] Not really. [20:43] you just met them [20:43] like a minute ago [20:43] They're on Explorer level tech. [20:43] Explorers, only evil. [20:43] All we have is tech readings [20:43] not really anything else. [20:43] however Trump's description is pretty accurate [20:43] ok, so they aren't nice. [20:43] ;) [20:43] right now you have Battery, the Champion, and Kurt's fleet [20:43] Also: I have a gun that's better than your Combat Shotgun. [20:44] And it's... a shotgun. [20:44] My combat shotgun>? [20:44] * Trump_Card makes one for himself as well [20:44] Trump carries the CS [20:44] o_O [20:44] oh. [20:44] Gotcha. [20:44] * NATO blinks in confusion [20:44] Trump - combat shotgun is 4, multipulse is 5 [20:44] * CS plays with new headphones [20:44] ahh [20:44] Bah, [20:44] mine are failing. [20:44] I still have one slot left E1. <_< [20:44] uh, no :P [20:45] Well, these are basically travel [20:45] fleet arrives over planet [20:45] * NATO test runs combat AI copy of himself on a fake sysetm [20:45] "How the hell are we supposed to get that weapon." [20:45] they seem pretty sweet... :o [20:45] [comm, Champion] We will cover you. Move into the upper atmosphere so you have some protection from their ships. [20:45] oooh. [20:45] "Do so, Fury." [20:45] Ground assault [20:45] [comm] The weapon is a massive surface installation. [20:45] :D [20:45] CS - ground DEFENSE actually [20:45] * CS checks loadout [20:46] Lets board one of their ships. :P [20:46] * FireFalcon loads Tsunami and MultiPulse [20:46] * NATO scans location [20:46] We will when the race is all dead. [20:46] [comm] It's currently uninhabited. We assume they will send vessels here to take it back. [20:46] "And this weapon will kill ships, or just beings inhabiting them..." [20:46] NATO - the installation is roughly the size of a small city [20:46] "Latter a la Erad." [20:46] Cool [20:46] How big is the main barrel :p [20:46] [comm] We're not actually sure. [20:46] "Well shit. We better board one now..." [20:46] CS superheavy mount [20:47] cruiser, then. [20:47] [comm] If you delay we may be wiped out. [20:47] I've got a Grav Cannon, Generator, and pulse pistol, right? [20:47] "I need to get closer to tell FF" [20:47] Right... Have we moved yet? [20:47] ... no, just the grav and gen [20:47] .. [20:47] Fury is automatically descending [20:47] heeeeey thunder [20:47] do I have space for a pistol? [20:47] In before power failure. [20:47] yeah sure [20:48] In before bagged milk [20:48] 1 slot and all [20:48] Pulse Pistol! [20:48] Kurt will join you as a Juggernaut. [20:48] Or a Mop [20:48] Mops are overrated. [20:48] what be I toold up with e1 san? [20:48] 2x K Pulse Carbine [20:48] Rocket Pistol [20:48] -over + under [20:48] "Right. Deploy party in a drop pod." [20:48] can I dump those for one of these multipulse things? [20:49] * CS modifies Pulse pistol into a miniature CDC and plugs it into the Generator too [20:49] you'd have to drop either both carbines or a carbine and the pistol. [20:49] 4+4+2, multipulse is 5 [20:49] you do the math [20:49] CS cannot do this [20:49] >_> [20:49] :( [20:49] * Trump_Card takes a jugg and installs a multipulse on it [20:49] as which hardpoint? [20:49] Carbines are 4? [20:49] yes [20:49] Oh [20:49] ok [20:49] [Kurt] I have crew for 10 vehicles. Choose wisely. [20:49] I'll updrade my carbienes to dual Mutipulses :D [20:50] "Uh..." [20:50] and dump the pistol [20:50] "2 Eclipses for fire support." [20:50] "3 sledges and 3 Cents for MBTs..." [20:50] [Kurt] And I have the entire library of Coalition, Defiler, K, and Harbie vehicles. [20:50] "Oh." [20:50] "well shit. 3 Harby Heavy mechs." [20:51] * Trump_Card takes a heavy troll [20:51] that's 5 [20:51] 6 [20:51] "... 2 Spirit Breakers." [20:51] "An Arbiter, and an Archer." [20:51] :D [20:51] Bear? [20:51] Dominator. [20:51] >_> [20:51] Why the fuck do we need a transport. [20:51] Fuck the bear [20:52] And yes, Dominator rather than an Arbiter. [20:52] uh, SpiritBreakers are meant to attack defensive AA positions [20:52] I don't see how that's useful [20:52] oh. [20:52] Well... [20:52] also, Bears rape infantry [20:52] WE can do taht. [20:52] just explaining :P [20:53] [Kurt] And the ship's AI can handle fighters, so don't worry about that. [20:53] cool. [20:53] Uh. [20:53] remove the archer too, then. [20:53] so... 3 more... [20:53] An Arbiter and 2 HyperTrolls. [20:54] I'd say just 10 Dominators >_> [20:54] * Trump_Card takes a sledge and uses the 4 pulse cannons for antidark and multipulse [20:54] [Kurt] They are being assembled for transport now. [20:54] CS: a mass of any 1 unit type is raped here." [20:54] Trump - you don't want a vehicle personally [20:54] you need to fit inside buildings [20:54] Aw. [20:54] heh. [20:54] Unless it's like, 50000 Juggernauts [20:54] or some shit. [20:54] * CS joins the Anti Vehichle Detail [20:54] * Trump_Card breaks the doorway [20:54] [Kurt] We ready? [20:55] * FireFalcon is Suppression! [20:55] "Sure." [20:55] * NATO is tech surport >> [20:55] party is teleported to surface (yes, you're holding that low orbit) [20:55] * Trump_Card is mechanic [20:55] "Hell yeah motherfucker" [20:55] Right. [20:55] Go to the weapon control room, then. [20:55] the vehicles arrive around you [20:55] * NATO scans fo open ports [20:55] the door is rusted shut [20:55] NATO finds one [20:55] * FireFalcon kicks it down [20:56] * Trump_Card uses CS to blow open doors [20:56] door shatters [20:56] * NATO conects via firewall [20:56] party finds the command console [20:56] NATO catches fire [20:56] <_< [20:56] XD [20:56] * FireFalcon hooks NATO up to the Command Console [20:56] "You do this. We'll take care of hostiles." [20:56] weapon will require 30 minutes (game time) to charge. [20:56] the city area is protected by a shield which can be powered now [20:56] "ok, where do you want to blow up today?" [20:56] Keep it powered down. [20:57] Power it up when hostiles show up. [20:57] * CS puts on a birthday hat [20:57] however, in the final stages it has to shut down the shield to have enough power to finish the charge [20:57] k [20:57] * NATO looks up what this thing accualy does [20:57] and what its been used against [20:57] * Trump_Card builds 20 ZPM's and hooks them up [20:57] * FireFalcon smooths down hair and applies helmet [20:57] :P [20:57] it also has a number of small AI batteries [20:57] Trump - no [20:58] NATO: We're gonna use it to kill this entire race. [20:58] NATO - it is a massive eradicator variant, but it's far removed from the original and you can't figure out exactly what's changed [20:58] * FireFalcon twirls Staffblade and waits. [20:58] * CS sits outside on a rock [20:58] "Get some Explorers down here to help us." [20:58] [comm, Champion] Here they come! [20:58] [comm, Cara] Targetting anything in range. Weapons free, fleet. [20:59] "Explorers never sully their hands in battle unless need be." [20:59] "Fury, target what you can." [20:59] [comm, Champion] Enemy starfortress destroyed. [20:59] ... [20:59] NICE SHOT [20:59] [comm, Fury] I'm firing but I'm doing jack to anything bigger than a destroyer. [20:59] "..... this thing is massive" [20:59] "I really mean masive" [20:59] In before worldships and larger ships than that showing up. [20:59] "Right. Focus on keeping your shields up and providing fighterswarms, then." [21:00] [comm, Cara] Dropships inbound. Good luck down there. [21:00] "I'm talking not like, single galaxy here, several at a time kinda thing" [21:00] [comm, Fury] Oh, god damn, that is a command ship. [21:00] [comm, command] Surrender now and we might spare you. [21:00] party spots dropships on the horizon [21:00] "They changed it quite substancaly but nothing seems to well, lead to anything. I can only really guess when it fires" [21:00] "Go fuck yourself. [21:01] * NATO puts up shield [21:01] Uhh [21:01] [comm, command] Well now. I'm glad you'll provide target practice. [21:01] E1, stop telling Nato what to say in [21:01] Champion may want to kill that. [21:01] PM's. [21:01] :P [21:01] shield activates [21:01] "Undefeated until now." [21:01] I'm not [21:01] he's making that up [21:01] "This streak will continue." [21:02] [comm, Champion] We cannot engage a ship of that size directly, and we're too large to affect its internals. Looking for some other way to distract them. [21:02] dropships land [21:02] * Trump_Card readies weapons [21:02] a gaggle of infantry exit and begin firing on the shield [21:02] "Deconstruct a frigate and have it nuke the reactors." [21:02] * FireFalcon mows them down with Tsunami [21:02] * CS runs for cover closer to the dropships, and fires at a landed one [21:02] infantry switch to slugthrowers and fire at party [21:02] or close to landing. [21:02] * FireFalcon finds cover [21:03] CS takes out a dropship [21:03] Go me!

[21:04] [Kurt] First time I've had one of those on my side! [21:04] Melee! :o [21:04] CS breaks infantrys' face [21:04] awesome. [21:04] dropships begin sending tanks in [21:04] * NATO scans instalation for any kind of high tech sensor / boardcast system [21:04] * CS tries to hit them before they drop the tanks [21:04] NATO locates sensor+comm systems [21:04] * FireFalcon scans tanks for pilots [21:05] CS doesn't have enough range [21:05] darn.
