Because Cerebrate Anon called me out on it...

TG QUEST!!!

Last thread: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/21814831/

When last we left the Command Crew, they'd listened in on the Jovians, gotten an Observer blown up by something on the Moon, and learned that the entire inner half of the Sol System is under hilariously heavy jamming. In addition, they found the hidden BONUS HERO, Jack Archer, in orbit around Jupiter, and recovered him. They also salvaged a MYSTERIOUS CANNON from the space wreckage of a battleground between the Void Engineers and New Chaos.

But as the dawn of a new day is upon them... what will be their next move?

Day 33
>>
>>21875783
Continue capturing communications from the Jovian Federation.

Have 1 of the remaining 9 Protoss Observers we outfitted with special precautions that was snooping around in the ship graveyards warp to Venus. There isn't any fighting there, right?
By getting in that close, it can hopefully get some more information about the fighting in the Inner Planets.

Also, does Black Ops have any presence in the Outer System, at Jupiter's orbit and beyond?

Does Cpl. Jurgovich know of any Black Ops tricks or codes that they use when they're lurking about in a system?
>>
>>21875783

Move a grid of 25 observers spread as a very large shared array telescope to Pluto orbit, see what they can see and how far in, we need to know what the native canon is before we do anything, and/or any crossovers involved.
>>
>>21875842
You don't detect any Black Ops ships around Jupiter, no. Jurgovich can't think of anything like that that would help you right now. He does think that the Black Ops probably went straight for whatever their objective was.

>>21875844
The best the array can do is observe Mars, which has sporadic fighting around it between the Void Engineers and New Chaos. There appears to be a network of colonies there, but they have all long since been abandoned, and most have been ruined by the fighting.
>>
>>21875925

Can we determine what canon said colonies are from? If necessary, dedicate 25 additional observers to the array.
>>

>>21875925
The Observers are able to get a count on ship signatures around Mars. New Chaos has approximately one hundred ships there while the Void Engineers have half that. However, signals from the planet indicate the Void Engineers have a significant groundside presence, though it doesn't seem like New Chaos or anyone else does.
>>
>>21875954
There are no real identifying marks or styles on the colonies that make them stand apart.
>>
>>21875954
The person in the previous thread who said that the presence of the UEFA was evidence for this being an SRW Canon is wrong; the UEFA is the Canonical Earth Government of Martian Successor Nadesico. So far, all evidence points to this being a pure Nadesico Canon, probably post-movie due to the presence of Knight One.
>>
>>21875991

Might be, but I don't want to rule anything out yet, we need more intel.

Given that even visual observation is being interfered with, I think we might want to take a small risk and move a shared array into towards Earth, warping it in opposite the gas giants orbits and seeing when they can see Earth.
>>
>>21875968
Are we able to ID those ships of New Chaos?

Also, do we have enough sensor resolution that we could acquire transporter coordinate locks on those ships?
>>

>>21876018
Nope and nope.

You have enough resolution to tell that of those 100 ships, half are frigates, a quarter are cruisers, and a quarter are battleships. The Void Engineer ships are almost uniformly frigates, but they have a small number of extremely large ships supporting them, cylindrical vessels about 15km long.
>>
>>21876012
We know the locals can pierce the cloak on our Observers, so we need to stay the fuck away from Earth and the Moon.

Opening up communications with the Jupiter Federation might be the easiest way to find out what's going on, but we have to deal with their ridiculous society-wide fascination with Gekiganger III and hot-blooded mecha action to solve social ills.
>>
>>21876012
How close?
>>
>>21876153

Where did I ever say we'd be going in closer than even the asteroid belt?

I suggest you re-read my plan, at worst we'd be closing to opposite Jupiter.
>>
>>21876150
What about getting an Observer into Venus orbit? Is there evidence of much fighting there?
>>
>>21876166

Opposite the next closest gas giant, until either we get to Jupiter or we can see Luna/Earth.
>>
Rolled 49, 22, 60, 20 = 151

>>21876172
Not much, no.

>>21876224
Your deploy your array towards Earth...
>>
>>21876392
Your Observers get to Jupiter and still cannot pierce the jamming around Earth and the Moon, though they can get a good view of the space stations and Mars from here. Your recon teams look over the data and quickly deduce that with the tools at your disposal, breaking through the jamming fields is impossible at long range. To find out what's going on around Earth, you'd have to at least be near the moon, and from the moon, Mars.

That being said, from this position, the Observers can manage to track the ship signals around Earth and the Moon. Even if they cannot get precise data on them, this will allow you to track the movements of the fleets.
>>
>>21876497

What can we hear right now? Any encryptions we can't break?
>>
>>21876497
We're still quite a distance away from the system, holding steady at 2.5 LY.
Perhaps we should get closer, and have the Hercules and Spirit begin resourcing operations to build up a stockpile of RU's for when the fighting starts.

We also need to keep an eye on the clock; as soon as the Hiigaran Fighter project is finished (which it should in an hour or two), we need to begin analysis of the Mysterious Cannon.

Finally, we might want to communicate, or hack into, the Jovian Federation to get information on this Canon.

I think we should have the Aurors attempt to scry on the location of the TSAB Recon Team. Have the Oncoming Storm warp out to another position 2.5 LY from Earth, far away from the task force, then have the Aurors attempt the scrying. Have them ready to cut the connection if New Chaos or the Void Engineers tries to backtrack them, and be ready to activate the ship's Psi Shield.

>>21876595
The only transmissions active on Mars that you can detect right now are Void Engineers and you can't break their encryption just yet. In space, there are both New Chaos and Void Engineers transmissions, both of which are secure.

>>21876739
You attempt the scrying...
>>
>>21876806

What about Earth and the Moon, you said we could get signals from them.
>>
>>21876806
Your Aurors get a brief glimpse of several TSAB operatives hunkering around a crashed ship on Earth before they feel the psychic presence of something far greater than themselves. Having the Psi-Shield ready is what saves them, the device activating quick enough to allow the Aurors to break the connection without incident.
>>
>>21876821
I said signals, not transmissions. You know where ships are massing, even if you can't get an accurate number or type count.
>>
>>21876838

Oh boy.

Did we get any information on where this ship is?

Looks like its time for a rescue mission.
>>
>>21876838
Were the Aurors able to tell anything about the location, such as approximate location?

We could attempt to use a subspace transport to get VP-98 and VP-99 to the general area of the TSAB operatives.
But I would not recommend using a subspace transport back. And we know that the locals can see through our cloaks, so that idea isn't viable.
>>
>>21876838

Move the Storm on a randomwalk for at least 5 jumps, then back to the fleet.
>>
>>21876838
Have the Storm make at least 6 random jumps of at least 1 light-week each before coming back to the rest of the task force.

Also, have our Observers capturing comm-traffic off of the Jovian colonies determined if they're Jovian Federation or not?
>>
>>21877029
Yes, they're Jovian Federation. The abundance of Gekiganger references makes that abundantly clear even if the leap cannons did not.

>>21876869
>>21876899
No other information. You got a snapshot and that was it.

>>21877029
You manage this without incident.
>>
>>21877069
Have the Aurors use legilimency to insert what they saw into Vitun's mind. Ask him if that's enough for him to attempt an Interplanetary Teleport.

Also, prepare to open a comm channel to the Jovian Federation.
We've got to figure out how we're going to phrase this. Knowing their love of Gekiganger, we'll want to couch it in terms that they'll appreciate.
>>
>>21877069

Run the snapshot through our various computing resources.

Based on the timestamp on the snapshot and the positional data on the earth and sun at that particular time, we can use the length of the shadows to approximate the timezone, and thus the rough location, in which the ship crashed in.

After that based off the snapshot, run the terrain in which the TSAB operatives were seen in and cross-reference it with the possible locations in that timezone, like desert or forest.
>>
>>21877199
You manage to figure out that it's in North America, crashed in the Rocky Mountains somewhere.

It is enough to attempt a teleport. Do you want to try?
>>
>>21877345

As in teleport a team in or teleport the agents out?
>>
>>21877376
http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateMagic/spells/interplanetaryTeleport.html

Teleport down.
>>
>>21877345

I'm voting no, for now. We don't want to provoke the locals and the less known by the VE and NC, the better. I think we need more intel before we move, and when we do, it needs to be for the TSAB operatives AND our primary objective at once, where we then GTFO.
>>
>>21877345
Not just yet. There are preparations we need to do, and the possibility that there are anti-teleportation wards of some kind around the planet; otherwise, why hasn't New Chaos simply invaded with Warp Teleportation?

No, we need to be careful about this.

Ready Vitun with a set of Psi Armor from Tosh, as well as VP-99 and VP-98.

However, it is probably better to talk with the Jovian Federation first and ask why there hasn't been a teleported invasion.
>>
>>21877383

Those agents are stranded behind lines. I'd advocate sending in some of our robotic assets to establish contact and try to get them back safety. Say a HK-50 model and some YVHs.
>>
>>21877401
Getting out without destroying these enemy fleets will mean a greater problem when we try to close the open door. We can't depend on the Great Crusade Task Force because the TSAB containment lines will only hold out for another day, then the New Chaos and Void Engineer forces will break out of the warzone and start rampaging through our sector and into TSAB controlled space.

We are not only on a timer, but we need to destroy as many NC and VE ships here to weaken them and prevent their escape into the rest of the sector.

>>21877496
Sending the droids is all fine and good, but that leaves them without a way to get back to our task force. Vitun is the only one capable of casting Interplanetary Teleport, and using the subspace transport to attempt to beam out an entire team risks their transport signatures getting disrupted. With that many people, a subspace transport is too risky.
>>
>>21877585

I wonder if we can beam one of these things down.

http://homeworld.wikia.com/wiki/Spectre-class_Cloaked_Fighter

Then they can extract themselves.
>>
>>21877688
Not going to work.

First, that's a Homeworld 1 design, not available to our Homeworld 2 shipyard.
Second, it's a space fighter. It has only room for the pilot, and it's not designed to escape a gravity well.
Third, Earth and the Moon are capable of piercing cloaking systems in some fashion, and use area-effect space-time weaponry. This would just get them killed.
>>
>>21877739

I see. Then at least we should inform the TSAB that we found the location of their crashed ship with surviving agent but that we were unable to mount rescue operations. With the location, they might move in themselves.
>>
>>21877404
"Jovian Federation, this is Task Force 38 of the Transpace Guard. We are on the trail of two fleets guilty of crimes in several galaxies. We have tracked them to this star system. Judging from our sensor scans, they are currently in conflict over Earth.
"We are requesting your cooperation in apprehending these criminals and bringing them to justice."

Knowing the Jovian's love of Gekigangar, posing as space cops trying to bring galactic criminals to justice should make them willing to at least listen to us.
>>
>>21877766
>With the location, they might move in themselves.
They already told us that they had to pull everything they had back to their defensive line, which will be breached, according to their optimistic projections, sometime on Day 34, one day from now.

They don't have the resources to mount a rescue.

Also, the fact that the TSAB Recon Team has been here for the past week means that they likely have FAR more intel on this Canon, the course of the fighting between the Void Engineers and New Chaos, and the location of the STOB component than we currently have.

Also, further scrying attempts are dangerous as there is something large and powerful that nearly got to our Aurors and we only escaped because of our Psi Shield.
>>
>>21877778
>guilty of crimes in several galaxies
We should be put up a list of their crimes if we can. And not the "interference in the affairs of a sovereign civilization" or stuff that violates the Prime Directive.

I'm talking about the butchering of defenseless civilian scientists and researchers, the things that they've done to the Cardassians, the death camps of New Syracuse.
If the TSAB has any video footage of worlds devastated by Void Engineer and New Chaos incursions in the warzone, all the better.

We can also include the crime of detonating a Weapon of Mass Destruction, resulting in the escape of many criminal entities that began terrorizing neighboring planets.

Alluding to the similarities between New Chaos and the Kyo'akk Empire (villains of the Gekiganger III series) might also work.

There is a pause before a response.

"Task Force 38, we are not familiar with your organization, but to hear that these two invaders are criminals is no surprise! They've been fighting on our doorstep for month, going so far as to attempt several invasions we barely repelled! If that were not enough, we found spies infiltrating our cities, attempting to sway us from the path of Justice and set up cults dedicated to their foul gods! What sort of cooperation do you require to bring these monsters to justice? And how do we know you are not in league with them? We've dealt with their trickery before!"
>>
>>21878090

Not sure what we should share, I'm thinking TSAB allies needing rescue, and that there's a component they're fighting over, maybe, and that we'd need cooperation to destroy what we can.
>>
>>21878090
Answering this correctly, is going to be hard.
This is just a suggestion of what to say, because we need to make sure that it's right, and fits in with their societal expectations (of a 70's giant robot show full of hot-blooded shounen action).

"You can help us is by assisting us in contacting the UEFA. A fellow inter-galactic police agency, the TSAB, sent a forward recon team to trail these two fleets, as well as a third fleet. Their ship was shot down over Earth, and we believe them to still be alive. We wish to have assistance in rescuing them.
"As for not being in league with the fighting parties, there is only one way to truly show our dedication, our passion, and our love for Justice! One champion of ours, versus one champion of yours, in single one-on-one combat. Let our burning hot blood answer for us!"
>>

Or, we could have Elaine talk to them. Pure as the driven snow, she is.

"...Besides, we can't contact them, there's heavy jamming."

"You want a duel? Wonderful suggestion! Send your champion to these coordinates."

A string of coordinates follows.

Char or Crowe?

This will be a combat by giant robot.

While we appreciate the idea of burning justice and ignoring those who do not see it, we cannot in good conscience see you and the UEFA fighting.

At least not in these circumstances.

If you can provide us with UEFA communications protocols, though, we can attempt to establish a command circuit and set up a coordinated attack.

As for the duel, in what manner of contest is it, we don't want to sent a martial arts champion to a mecha battle, after all.
>>
>>21878514
"Okay. Char, Crowe, Lt. Yamada. One of you is going to have to take the role of being a hot-blooded mech pilot who gains an understanding of their foe through the medium of exchanging physical blows. This is the going to be full of terrible, hammy acting, and scripts taped to the insides of your cockpits.
"So! Who wants a first crack at this?"

I wonder if char would take umbrage against us dressing him in Neo-Zeon dress uniform and presenting him as the field commander for our Mobile Forces.

>>21878639
Char might, but we have Lt Quattro Bajeena. I'm sure he wouldn't have any objections.
>>
>>21878514
Alright, so, let's go to the coordinates.
Not the entire task force; I'm thinking just a pair of Al'Kesh, the Rodger Young, and a Repair Frigate. We don't want the Storm getting into sensor range of the sporadic VE and NC patrols in the Jovian region until we're ready to tear them apart.

We'll want to be ready for whatever type of conflict they want, whether it's mecha fight or boxing match. And Lyla and Elaine on hand to be ready to heal damage.
>>
>>21878577
"Heh. I'll let my coin decide that. Let's see what fate has to say about such a battle..." Crowe says, pulling out a 1G coin. Char looks at him, nonplussed.

"Saying stuff like that, I think Crowe's got this one," Char says.

"Hey, shut up! Don't lump me in with-" Crowe begins to say.

"Yeah, definitely Crowe. He's getting angry, that's hotblooded, right?" Yamada asks.

Crowe looks down, defeated. "Fine. Screw the coin toss, I'll go start prepping Brasta."

>>21878805
Wait, wait. First, we've got to take the Brasta, and put some appropriate SPACE COPS paraphernalia on it.
The Black and White color scheme is fine for a police mech, because Black and White is the standard police colors for Japan, and therefore would be the standard that Super Robot shows like Gekiganger would use.
So add a pair of red and blue police lights on the shoulders of the Brasta, and maybe some big ostentious TG symbol on the Brasta's shield, like a police logo.
And make sure that everyone has a TG badge that looks like a police identification. All officers must have a small notebook and pen, with the TG symbol on the front.

We've got to play up that we're the Space Police here to apprehend or blow up criminals.

I was going to bring up time, but with Elysium, it's really cut down to just 40 minutes, and a lot of that is the spin up and spin down of the transpace drive getting there and back.

They will, of course, remain far outside the designated combat area and observe.

As a veritable flood of explanations, excuses, and apologies hits, him, the pilot shouts exasperatedly over the comm-link.

"ENOUGH!" he roars. "OK, OK! I get it! Just get over here and fight already! As befitting a true warrior of JUSTICE, I will let you have the first attack!"

Crowe pilots the Brasta forward, arming weapons.

Crowe fires his rifle on automatic, letting the stream of projectiles wear at the massive enemy's armor while he zooms closer. The Tetsujin pilot roars as his robot raises a metal claw.

"IRON HAND OF JUSTICE, GO! ROCKET PUNCH!" the pilot shouts as the enormous claw detaches from the arm and blasts towards the Brasta. The agile mech darts out of the way, continuing to pepper the Tetsujin with fire.

"What?! How could I miss?! YOU STUPID PILE OF JUNK!!!"

"How can you hope to touch me with so much anger in your heart?!" Crowe berates the pilot as he swings around and launches a pair of explosive rounds into the mech's knee joints. "A true ally of justice doesn't mistake blind rage for ferocity!"

"Tha- Be silent! I will show you true justice!" the pilot says, turning. Energy begins to build up over his chest. "Graviton BEEEEEEEAM!"

The fight goes on like that for a long while, pilots trading challenges while Crowe continually dodges each of the Tetsujin's attacks.

"Stop flying around and fight me like a man!!!" the pilot finally yells, exasperated.

"OK... You asked for it!" Crowe shouts, switching around the configuration of his rifle while charging in.

A pair of nets launch from the Brasta's hips, enveloping the giant mecha as lightning courses over it.

"Th...This is..." the pilot sputters, trying to raise one of the mech's iron claws.

"Your end!" Crowe counters. "BRASTA SUPER SPIKE SPECIAL! IMPALING EEEEEEEND!"

His rifle suddenly emits a brilliant spike of energy, turning the gun into a lance as the Brasta crashes into the Tetsujin. The energy lance breaks through the Tetsujin's side just as the net on one side broke, allowing the enemy robot to smash a fist into the side of the Brasta.

A choking gasp is heard from the pilot of the other mech.

"You're not dying," Crowe says.

"Your life support is fine and I didn't hit your pilot block. You're not dying," Crowe repeats.

"I'm... I'm sorry... Ms. Sayoko..." the pilot goes on. "I... I really would've liked to have gone to the beach with you..."

"You... are... not... dying..." Crowe says, putting a slow emphasis on each word.

"I'm not?" the pilot asks, sounding puzzled. "Oh, I'm not. Good fight, then! And since I'm not dead, this must be a rival battle! And if you're my rival, then that must mean either you're one of the good guys, or a villain who will later BECOME a good guy! Either way, trial passed."

Also, I think we need to come up with a way of broaching the Black Ops matter. Their fleet is still somewhere in this system; we want a good explanation for them.

>Jupiter
There are approximately 30 New Chaos ships and 20 Void Engineer ships fighting around Jupiter.

New Chaos:
6 Star Destroyers splashed with Chaos markings everywhere.
14 Klingon Birds of Prey.
8 5km long ships fitting the profile of Chaos/New Chaos warships
2 6km long ships fitting the profile of Chaos/New Chaos warships.

Void Engineers:
18 'Flying Saucer'-like craft, each about 100m in radius.
2 10km long battleships that look very utilitarian and somewhat blocky, but glimmering with lights.
>>
>>21881013
From your estimates, each craft with carrying capacity has approximately a half-strength complement of fighters with it. That'd be the ISDs and the two 10km Void ships. You count at least 100 fightercraft from the ISDs and at least quadruple that number from the VEs.
>>
>>21881013

What's their disposition and relative formation?
>>
>>21881013
Are the Klingon Birds of Prey using their cloaking devices at all?
During their conflicts, do our Observers see any evidence of offensive transporter usage?
>>
>>21881013
Are they in two big fleets, or are they split up into smaller groups?
>>
>>21881062
They seem very angry and their relatives are clustered around them.

That is to say, Most of the ships are in 'knife-fight' range, with only the Chaos and VE battleships hanging back and exchanging fire from long range.

The Birds of Prey are making use of their cloaking devices, yes. Your Observers cannot detect any offensive transporter usage.
>>
>>21881225

Tentative assault plan for our assets, this is just a first draft:

Armorfleet transits in around 100 AU out, and then warps to pluto, where the prober deploys combat probes to scan down the New Chaos battleships, once he has a lock, the fleet will fleetwarp to the battleship and engage it. As it does so, the rest of our fleet will warp on top of the other one, and engage it. The Nocturne will put fighter-bombers on the Armorfleet target to up the DPS on it and provide remote reps for fleet it's with.

Thoughts?
>>
>>21881225

What kind of distances are we talking about for 'knife-fight'? Since for space combat that can be really far apart.
>>
>>21881297
The ships are within 200km of each other.

And with that, I have to be off. I'll pick this up tomorrow at the usual time.

>>21881225

This is my proposed battleplan. From what I understand, we have the general close ranged fight with the BBs hanging back.

I propose having our first strike group engage the VE BBs. The numerical disadvantage implies that those are the most dangerous. We move in and engage at close range with most of our fleet. If we choose to only selectively engage VE ships, I expect the NC forces to press their advantage and stay on the field, likely revealing their Birds of Prey as well. The smaller VE craft should be unable to fallback in good order, lest they be overrun and destroyed by pursuing NC forces.

Once complete, phase 2 can begin. I've chosen the NC fleet to be destroyed last as their ships have capabilities that we are at least, familiar with. Our TIE/D fighter wing can warp into close proximity with the Imperial Vessels. Their fightercraft will take time to return to their motherships and in that lull, we can make use of the Trench Run Defence to assault their BBs with nigh impunity.

Strike Force A will at this point, begin targetting the Birds of Prey that have shown themselves, begin probing for them and attacking the smaller ships previously engaged in close combat, delaying their return to aid their motherships.
>>
>>21881508

You are expecting unmodified pre-Vong anti-ISD tactics to work?

Are you high?

Also, we're not touching the VE because they might still be reasoned with, we're hitting NC first because of that.
>>
>>21881508
By New Chaos and VE Battleships, I specifically mean the unidentified ones, IE the 2 10kms, and the 5&6kms. The ISDs are in that morass at the center, along with the 18 Saucers and the BoPs.
>>
>>21881523

Considering that it was a flaw of the design itself, I fail to see why it would not work. The empire commisioned new ships instead of retrofitting the ISDs with better anti-starfighter capabilities.

>>21881536

Ah, that would make things a little different.
>>
>>21881013
>6 Star Destroyers
>14 Klingon Birds of Prey
Considering their numbers, we can attempt to take them over. We have many slicer droids and Salvage Corvettes, and as soon as we have computer control, we can turn off gravity and depressurize the entire ships, clearing them of enemy personnel.
We will need to set up psionic storms to prevent telepathic communication of our attack methods to the main New Chaos fleet.

Using the Hiigaran Scout's EMP ability should also allow us to take down many of the defenses on enemy ships, allowing us to get boarders into critical areas.

As for the Chaos warships, they can't be captured and sanitized in a timely manner. Simply destroy them.

During boarding operations, the third thing that boarders should do after securing the bridge/central computer and the engine room, is to dump a canteen of Holy Water into the ship's water tanks. As soon as that is done, turn the atmosphere back on, and pump the ship's humidity up to 95%.

>>21881225
We'll have the EVE Fleet warp in on top of the Chaos battleships, and as soon as they orient themselves to face the EVE Fleet, the rest of the Task Force jumps in at a perpendicular angle to the EVE Fleet's angle of attack, catching the New Chaos ships in a pincer attack.
The NC Star Destroyers and Birds of Prey will have to disengage and show their backs to the VE fleet as they attempt to reinforce their capital ships. This will open them up to boarding actions and Salvage Corvette attacks.
>>
Alright, I have a plan. A crazy plan.

We have replicators and a bunch of things in our database with gravitics. I propose we replicate large gravitic emitters. and then place them in a line. Thousands of kilometers long. Each one set to slingshot a projectile from one to the next. Then we place this accelerator in the Oort cloud.

It will be a bitch to aim, but it is nearly impossible to detect, dodge, or stop relativistic mass projectiles.

I want us to create a giant gun and then go about solving all of our problems with it.
>>
>>21881615

Except both sides have precogs and good sensors, you derp.
>>
>>21881615
We went over this already.
We can't create large scale gravitics like that without a Schlock Mercenary military fabber. And we haven't been able to acquire one or go to attempt to acquire a Tausennigan Ob'enn Thunderhead-class superfortress with the necessary military fabbers even though we have a plan that could work, because we haven't had the time or the ability to put it into motion.

Also, both sides have sensors that can detect FTL objects.
>>
Alright, I've read through the Void Engineer sourcebook, and there are some items for concern.
The Void Engineers do have their own version of a Reality Emitter. It differs slightly in its operation, but the effect can be said to be the same as something approaching our Mk III Reality Emitter.

They do have access to teleportation technology, but it's the teleporter pad type of technology that BLU Engineer uses; unless they reverse engineered a Klingon transporter (which they very well could have), they aren't capable of transporter shenanigans.

Their weapons, while powerful, aren't too different than what we field. High power lasers, disintegrators, and magic-fueled laser cannons are what they had as their normal arsenal. Don't be surprised if they've gotten better weapons.
If they were able to reverse-engineer the TSAB's prized Intelligent Devices, then we're in real trouble.

As for defenses, they have personal shields and a form of force field that is capable of killing a person on contact (but does not affect machines).

As for the New Chaos ships, they have void shields and AT Fields, Plasma Reactors, S2 and S3 Organs.
If we're feeling not nice, we can force a Bird of Prey to eject its warp core, then blow it up, causing a subspace tear, similar to one caused by a Son'aa subspace weapon. This subspace tear will be drawn to the Warp-dependent machinery of the New Chaos ships like a homing torpedo, and cause absolute havoc.
But causing tears in space-time is generally frowned upon.
>>
We really need to capitalize on our resources and what we just acquired.
The Jovian Federation has a boson gun, their Leap Cannon. It's capable of teleporting missiles right through shields and teleport interdictors and anywhere inside a target vessel. The main limit of the gun is that its range is limited by the sensors that it uses. Normally, they still would be using sub-light sensor arrays, but by working with us, we can feed them boson jump targeting data from our Protoss Observers anywhere in the system. By working the Jovian's Leap Cannon into our plan, we acquire a way to engage in teleporting bomb tactics without bringing down our own shields.

Also, we intercepted one of their communications saying that they need another 40 hours before they can get their Leap Cannon online.
I'm sure that with the help of Egon, Mustadio, Data, BLU Engineer, The Three Guru's, Slippy, and a Starfleet Engineering Team, we could cut that time down dramatically.
>>
What we also need to do is find a way for Darius and the Knights Inductor to face New Chaos in combat. It should strike the fear of God(-Emperor) in them to see True Astartes fighting New Chaos' pathetic attempt at replicating His glorious work. New Chaos believes the Emperor dead and gone? AH! So long as a single one of His Angels live, His Dream and Will live on!
>>
>>21885823
The God-Emperor literally lives on inside the New Chaos gods.
As do Gork, Mork, and the Eldar deities.
At least read the source fic.
>>
>>21883519
Mordin, an R2, and an R9 droid may help as well. Cossack is occupied with getting Metal Man Mk. II ready of course, and Lazarus is a medical doctor.
>>
>>21888482
We got other reasons to wanting kill them then being 'traitors to mankind'.

Well I haven't read the fic (but I have read a part of the anti-fic the doorstop)and I am not sure if this would effect anything but from reading the composition of NC's forces. I guess that the non-native ships are simply battle thralls who have been indoctrinated to the point of fanaticism. Destroying their battleships are going to cause a greater effect of the battle between the smaller ships when taking the VE's out due to morale.

Oh yea, don't forget Mechagodzilla, he did quite well in the last space battle.
>>
Speaking of Space Battles, did we ever get more Anti-Frigate destroyers after all of our Gallente Navy Catalysts got blown up? EVE's latest expansion will give us access to four new Destroyers, if we want to send Looters or someone to grab them.

http://www.eveonline.com/retribution/new-destroyers/

Also, we grabbed a Tengu from the Black-Ops fleet after it's Capsuleer bailed, right? I couldn't find out what happened to it after we nabbed it. If we still have it, we might want to put someone in it and set it up as either a fleet Shield Bonus monstrosity for the non-armor tanking ships, or a gigantic Point Defense Rocket whore.

Another thing, have we considered Stealth Bombers, or, since we lack those at short notice, refitting a couple dozen Abaddons with EMP Smartbombs and heavy EMP armor defense and setting them for tactical Smartbomb spamming? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlZ0EcsneSg

I'd like to have the crew of the Indie prepare a few proton Torpedos with the yield turned down significantly.

We'll attempt to teleport these into the bridge and backup bridges of a few of the Star Destroyers, THIS TIME making sure to have the timer long enough that we can disarm our own damn weapon if it doesn't disapear.

We'll use our Mass Produced Tie fighters to harass the smaller New Chaos ships, while targeting their bigger ships using the wave Canons on our R-types and our large guns.

The Armor Fleet will be sucking up bullets to prevent any of our important ships from being damaged.

>needs tweaking before use
>>
>>21892881
I'd like to change that from Proton or Photon Torpedoes, to bandoliers of dialed down photon grenades, which are specifically designed to stun.

Also, I suggest we wait until the Hiigaran Fighters project is done, so that we can use the Soulchipped Scouts with their EMP ability to disable enemy ships.
>>
>>21892881
We might also be able to control the transporters from outside the transporter room, so that even if the photon grenades come back and go off, they don't do anything. Or maybe have Holograms and Droids operate the transporter controls.

We'll need the Gallente ships keeping the Indefatigable safe, and the Al'Kesh bombers.

>>21892881

>>
>>21893549
>waiting for the Hiigaran Fighters to finish
But we wanted to try to figure out how to talk with the UEFA on Earth in the meantime.
>>
>>21893595
Indeed. But I'm sure OP will...wait, OP, what are you rolling for?
>>
>>21893549
In the time that you wait, New Chaos has lost its 6 Star Destroyers and 2 Birds of Prey to the Void Engineers, along with all of their fightercraft. The Void Engineers have lost 8 of their Flying Saucers and sustained moderate damage to their battleships, as well as losing a quarter of their fighters. The New Chaos warships have suffered damage, but appear to be regenerating it, grotesque biological growths stretching over any area with battle-damage.

The battle is still going, though several times the battlefield has shifted as vessels attempt to flee and regroup only to be pursued, or as both sides temporarily halt to regroup and repair.
>>
We could have an armored transmitter relay just come out of warp over the Moon and crash on the surface, then attempt to open communication with Lunar City.

Or we make a big, obvious transmitter come out of warp just beyond the UEFA's defense perimeter.
>>
>>21893731
All of the New Chaos warships? If they're doing that, they're tainted and we're better off annihilating them.
>>
>>21893731
>lost all 6 Star Destroyers
Damn, there goes Grand Theft Star Destroyer.
But we could still try to capture those Birds of Prey.
The New Chaos warships need to be destroyed, though.
>>
>>21893759
Yes, all of the NC warships, meaning NOT the Birds of Prey.
>>
>>21893731
Well, fuck. Let's just blast the crap out of the remaining NC ships. Same plan as before.
>>
>>21893910
Right, but first, let's try to get the TSAB operatives out.
And for that we need to talk with the UEFA.
>>
>>21893974

First we clear Jupiter, freeing up some Jovians to help us.

Well warp in our Armorfleet on the least damaged Chaos Capital Ship, and pound it. Drone ship will stay at long range and provide support. Our fighters are to engage the Birds of Prey.

All other ships, excepting the Defiant class, will engage the second least damaged Chaos battleship, from their optimal ranges, minus the Erebus, which will be waiting for a cyno if we need it. No need to play the DD card until we need to.

Double check beforehand that our Damnations, Phoboses and Devoters all have their cynos and fuel available, as well as the Gallente fleet`s cyno ships.
>>
>>21894012
No. The Birds of Prey can be captured, if the proper preparations are taken.

Also, contacting the UEFA is done during the time we're waiting for the Hiigaran Fighters project.
So we're not going to the fight right now.
>>
>>21894101

FUCK.

THAT.

We are not TOUCHING Chaos ships with a ten-AU long pole of solid plot-armorium.

They die, screaming.

It`s like you WANT us to fail or something.
>>
>>21894101
You've got 15 minutes to figure out how to contact the UEFA before I move to the battle. Please realize that time will move in game even when planning. You aren't drawing from a limitless supply of time here.
>>
>>21894152

We could try the observer broadcasting method again, but I'm not sure if it would work.
>>
>>21894152
Send a photon torpedo with its warhead replaced with a communication package to Earth. Have it warp to high Earth orbit, and have it transmit on the UEFA's frequencies.

"UEFA, we need to talk concerning your current situation. Please meet us at the Jovian Federation's border."
>>
>>21894260
While it's cheaper to use a photon torpedo, using a Protoss Observer would be better since its technology is markedly different from what New Chaos and the Void Engineers use.
>>
>>21894260
>>21894299
The Observer is better, and we should reference a location from the Nadesico anime series, since it's less likely for uninvited guests to arrive.
"Meet us where the Nadesico fought the Kannazuki of the Lizards."
>>
>>21894130

I share the same sentiments. Birds of Prey would be really spiffy, but there could be Chaos taint on those ships. We may not have all the time in the world to purify them either.
>>
>>21894299
>>21894260
In addition, according to what I know and can find out, photon torpedoes don't use warp drives and have a max range of 300,000km.

Do you want to try and send an Observer to do the same thing?
>>
>>21894352
Might as well.

We should see if the protoss are willing to help us restock our supply of those.
>>
>>21894352
Actually, photon torpedoes don't have their own warp drives but are designed to use a hand-off system. The ship that fires the torpedo hands-off a warp field onto the torpedo.
However, >>21894299
points out that an Observer would be better.
>>
>>21894369
Or give us the blueprints. Hell, all we really need is a SC2 Nexus and then we can just make all their buildings.
>>
>>21894424
No SC2 era buildings. At most, they'll have the Brood War era tech tree.
>>
>>21894387
Well, regardless of that, it says max range 300,000km.

I guess you're going with the Observer then.

You send out your message, though you have no idea when or if you'll hear back from them.
>>
>>21894603
Send an Observer to the requested meeting place to wait for the UEFA.

After the Hiigaran Fighters project is completed, create a dozen Soulchipped Scouts with the EMP ability, and begin research on the Mysterious Cannon.

When we attack the NC and VE fleets, will the Jovian Federation join us?
Also, did the VE ever shoot at the Jovians first? Have they attempted to invade the Jovian colonies?
>>
>>21894603
So what now?
>>
>>21894903
You don't know. You could try asking them.

Research now allocated to the Mysterious Cannon.
>>
>>21894920
Ask the Jovians these questions and do these things: >>21894903
>>
>>21894903
"What do you mean, join you?"

"The Void Engineers did not shoot at us at first, but when a scout team of ours attempted to make it to Earth, they were intercepted and turned back with a warning. We tried again with a covert team and they were destroyed."
>>
>>21894938

Is the Shipyard free?

If so, have it start pumping out more TIE/Ds
>>
>>21895141
"We mean will you want to allocate any forces to assist in the battle against the transgressors. This is you native solar system, you do have the right to participate, and we would be grateful for your assistance, of course."

"I see. So the Void Engineers have not invaded any where? Only fought the Nu Chaos forces?"
>>
>>21895141

Do you have any idea if there is any connection between the UEFA and the Void Engineers? It seems odd that the Void Engineers would blockade Earth without first tangling with the UEFA.
>>
>>21895141

While our fleet is well equipped, any support you can spare would be appreciated. We'll give you tactical vectors and known capabilities of the enemy warships as soon as we have finalized our operational plan.
>>
>>21895158
Orders given.

>>21895232
"Certainly, we will send some of our best heroes to aid you!"

"They have not invaded, no, just blockaded the inner system from us."

"A connection with the UEFA and the Void Engineers?! Of course! The cowardly UEFA must be in league with the Void Engineers to protect their home while they cook up some new scheme! Some sort of trickery or treachery must be afoot... It all makes sense now!"
>>
>>21895141
"While our fleet is quite capable, we are still outnumbered. Any military assistance you could lend us would be appreciated."

The VE could simply be preventing anyone from getting to Earth, where the STOB Component is located, and the UEFA's own boson guns keep the VE's away.

Also, have the Spirit and the Hercules warp to Alpha Centauri to build up a reserve of RU's. Take the Hiigaran Fleet as an escort.
>>
>>21895360

Not necessarily, it could simply be that the UEFA is too powerful for the VE to strike at until they destroy the New Chaos fleets.

That's the problem with these multiple faction fights, there's too many possibilities and not enough time to reach the proper conclusion.
>>
>>21895416
Send a scout there first. It might be being used as a base.
>>
>>21895360
>>21895360
>"A connection with the UEFA and the Void Engineers?!
Great going there, chief. You just HAD to open your big mouth.

"We can't be sure of that. The UEFA could simply be trapped by the Coid Engineers even as the Void Engineers are kept at bay by the UEFA's distortion fields and graviton weapons."
>>
>>21895360
"Oh, no, highly unlikely. The VE would probably not have had time nor need to make such a pact with the UEFA."
>>
>>21895460
>send a scout
The Indefatigable has the best cloaks in the task force, and its subspace transports can still be used at that distance.
So have it cloak and check the Alpha Centauri system ahead of the Spirit and Hercules.
>>
>>21895460
You send a scout and Alpha Centauri is currently devoid of ships. Your Hiigarans set up shop there, but won't be available for a few hours while they transit there, harvest, and transit back.
>>
>>21895484
>>21895507
"So you say... Hmmm. Still... best to be cautious."
>>
>>21895537
Make sure that they make a few wings of Hiigaran Soulchipped Scouts.
And about another 100 TIE-D/C's.
we don't want to make too many because we will need RU's available for fleet repairs.

We'll begin the attack as soon as they return. That'll also give the UEFA time to contact us.

Have Vitun and VP-98 prepare for their interplanetary teleport in case the UEFA doesn't respond.
>>
>>21895620
So you're going to wait until late afternoon to begin the fight?
>>
>>21895665

No, we should have a wing or two of scouts, and just start pumping out TIE/Ds to replace losses. We should check on the Rendevous, send a second observer on an in and out to the one we sent to communicate with the UEFA to determine what happened, and then begin our attack.
>>
>>21895665
Do we already have a wing of Soulchipped Hiigaran Scouts with the task force? Is the Hercules with the task force or the Spirit at Alpha Centauri?

Also, ask the Jovians if the New Chaos forces used their own teleportation technology in their fights, and if the UEFA had recently developed some kind of defense against boson jumps, since NC doesn't appear to be engaging in Warp teleportation attacks against the Earth and the Moon.
>>
>>21895747
Both are at Alpha Centauri as requested.

>>21895747
"New Chaos doesn't know how to boson jump, no. We don't know if the UEFA dogs manages anything."
>>
>>21895747
And yes, you have some Scouts.
>>
>>21895819
"No, I mean if New Chaos has used their own foul teleportation methods. You said that they had gotten infiltrators into your midst; do you know if they did it via teleport insertion, or if it was done by a stealth ship.
>>
>>21895875
"We do not know."
>>
>>21895665
>>21895665
No, we're not going to wait, we're just sending off the Gathering/Production vessels while we take care of the Nu Chaos forces remaining. Complete obliteration of the clearly corrupted vessels, with major damage allowed for any untainted ships. In the case of the Birds of Prey, attempt not to compromise the entirety of it.

Strategy will be as indicated previously:

>>21894012
We'll warp in our Armorfleet on the least damaged Chaos Capital Ship, and pound it. Drone ship will stay at long range and provide support. Our fighters are to engage the Birds of Prey.

All other ships, excepting the Defiant class, will engage the second least damaged Chaos battleship, from their optimal ranges, minus the Erebus, which will be waiting for a cyno if we need it. No need to play the DD card until we need to.

Double check beforehand that our Damnations, Phoboses and Devoters all have their cynos and fuel available, as well as the Gallente fleet`s cyno ships.
>>
>>21895890
Do we still have communication with the Observer we're using to send the message to the UEFA? If its not destroyed yet, have it transmit "Knight One. Let's talk. Are you haunted by the memories of Utopia? Come talk to us where the Nadesico fished for the Kannazuki."

If its Akito, he'll know what I'm talking about. If not, then it's gibberish.
>>
>>21895978

No, that's why we're having a second do an in-and-out warp to ascertain it's status and double-check the RV before stepping off for the combat mission.
>>
>>21895929
The Birds of Prey can be quickly taken out by using The Scouts' EMP to take down their shields, then beaming a small quantity of Nethack Holy Water into the water/air purification system.
EMP's aren't as useful against battlebarges because of their partial organic nature. Better that we concentrate firepower on them. Such as a MechaGodzilla/Kiryu tag team.

After warping in, MechaGodzilla and Kiryu will launch and begin destroying weapon turrets on the MC battleships.

Have the Gallente Task Force set up remote repair chains and rotate to protect the non-replaceable ships.

Destroids get on the outside of the Storm and provide heavy fire support.

Indefatigable stay within the defense envelope of the task force.

Hiigaran Scouts use EMPs against the Birds of Prey, with Star Destroyers concentrating ion cannon fire on them.

Have the Storm be ready to put up its Psi Shield in the case of a Warp attack against te Farseers.

With 195 battleships firing capital-grade pulse lasers at close range all at once, New Chaos loses a cruiser almost immediately. A handful of seconds go by before they lose one of their 5km 'frigates' to the combined firepower of the Oncoming Storm and All Under Heaven. Another frigate detonates under the devastating wave cannons of the R-types, and two more fall to the gold and lighting ships of the Protoss.

Your fighters and bombers manage to rip apart the Birds of Prey with startling swiftness, though they manage to get in a few hits on your vessels that drain shields and damage armor.
>>
>>21896242
That's what I'm talking about.
Status of remaining New Chaos forces and behavior of Void Engineers?
>>
>>21896207
No. Don't have MechaGodzilla and Kiryu launch. The fact that they have S2 Engines may be noticable to New Chaos. We need to try and keep them as much of a surprise as possible for if/when New Chaos launches Evas and we need their AT Fields.
>>
>>21896242

That's why I said to send a second one in and out, to see if the original was ok.

I agree. It's not exactly an ace in the hole, but we shouldn't be showing all our forces in one battle.

With this unexpected opening, the Void Engineer's saucers surge forward, swarming around one of the New Chaos frigates and slowly shearing it apart with continuous energy beams that slice right through it like cutting lasers. The ship's biological components begin to regenerate, growing over the cuts, but before it can heal the damage, a chain of explosions rip apart space around the cuts, tearing apart the frigate.

Several streams of energy erupt from the Void Engineer battleships, landing on another frigate. The frigate glows and shimmers for a moment, then simply explodes.

New Chaos decides to focus its fury on the Armorfleet, a full twenty Abaddons suddenly incinerated before they can be repaired as the main guns on each vessel fire. Their secondary guns tear through the armor of many more, but the nanite-repair functions on the ships keep them in the game. Several capsuleers get podded in the crossfire, however.

Forces:
3 5km long ships fitting the profile of Chaos/New Chaos warships
1 6km long ships fitting the profile of Chaos/New Chaos warships.

>>21896396
Using the power of our scanners and science team, can we figure out how the fuck the Void Engineers blew up that second frigate?
>>
>>21896396

Armorfleet should put DPS on the frigates for now, maybe the VE will be slightly more willing to talk after.

Main fleet is to put all alpha on the Chaos battleship.

Anything out of the Jovians?

>>21896396

Oh, also, have our podded and shipless pilots reship into some of our spare Abaddons and get back in the fight.

As far as they can tell, once the frigate's shields were down they fired some sort of beam that directly converted some of the mass on the ship to energy, resulting in an explosion.

Do not engage the VE ships yet.

We should attempt to hail the VE ships right now, too.

At least they *might* be reasoned with.

To be honest, I'm not sure if NC has ever actually encountered a superior force, which explains a lot about their attitude.
But yeah, no way we can reason with them until we find the brats they call gods and kick their asses.
Since one of their intentional flaws is blind zealotry and a tendency to attack anyone who badmouths their stupid religion and stupid deities.

The remaining four New Chaos ships are torn apart despite their attempt to reestablish distance with a sudden and extreme acceleration that carries them a few thousand miles away in a manner of seconds. The Armorfleet tears apart another frigate before it can escape, and the guns on the rest of the ships are capable of handling such ranges. The remaining New Chaos cruiser turns to slag under the combined firepower of most of the fleet as another frigate goes up thanks to the Protoss and the final frigate is annihilated by the Void Engineers. However they do not go cheaply. On their way out, the New Chaos ships destroyed another 30 Abaddons, 2 Lokis, and 3 Proteuses.

The Void Engineer saucers return to orbit around the two battleships. There is a pause. Then they hail you.

Reship what we can for now, put what heavy tackle we have in our Gallente fleet into the Armorfleet to make up for the T3s lost.

Accept the hail.
Mouse, Data, Isel, UNIT, Sandmen, Deckers, and ANON; full cyber-combat readiness. Expect them to try to hack us while we talk.

The image of a graying man in a simplistic uniform comes onscreen.

"I don't know who you are or why you're here, but you're in a restricted zone," he says, gruffly. "This entire solar system is under lockdown, nothing is suppose to enter or leave. Terrible forces are at work in this place, and you risk much by traveling here.

No, you misunderstand. We are Taskforce 38, of the Transpace guard, we're simply here to remove the reality disruptions. We can guess by your reaction that you've been attacked by the Black Ops branch as well. They destroyed our sector base and nearly killed our boss.

We do have 75% of Yellowman's file, which definitely proves that SHODAN is manipulating Black Ops into doing all of this bullshit. Perhaps we can have the hacker team, Data, and various other computer-savvy members of our staff see if they can decode what we have so far.

"In over our heads? Do you know the amount of crap we've had to deal with since that detonation rocked our sector? We've fought Arch-SUEs, undone crossovers of a significant magnitude, fought against Ebon Night itself, and now we're here with almost our entire fleet to try and stop one of the most dangerous meta-aware factions in the entirety of all existences from acquiring the same thing that started this whole mess. Tell me again how we're in over our heads, Captain Franklin? Please, I would just LOVE to know."

Ok. Do you guys have a method that allows you to know if someone is telling the truth?

"The captain of that vessel employed a desperate measure to try and save the lives of his men. If he had known... but no, he couldn't have. He made the wrong call, but it's easy to see why he did it," Captain Franklin says. "That was our first encounter with New Chaos, and it set the tone for all of our explorations in this sector since."

The Captain looks at you curiously.

"You... knew about that and you haven't figured it out? Do you really think a basic Space-Time Oscillation Bomb could've caused all this?"

>>21897236
"Look, are you talking about the New Chaos forces using a Suzumiyaverse as a transit hub to gain access to the rest of the Meta? If its about that, the Great Crusade should already be setting up a minefield to close it off, and the Data Integration Thought Entity has already been warned.
"Or are you talking about the rogue AI that's trying to merge cyberspace and reality into one nightmarish whole?"

So New Chaos managed to somehow affect the deployment of the STOB?
>>
>>21897273
Well, that's the only thing we know of that can cause multi-dimensional damage and nobody tells us shit.

Hell, there was a massive reality disruption from a SUEgod who was turning everything into Furry Dickgirls? Were we informed what was there? Nope. It was stuck in a damn box for whoever has to deal with it later.

Guess who got to deal with it? Guess what happened when we tried to find out what was in it? We were informed that for some reason, all information on it was erased or doctored in a way we were flying blind.


Now, could you please explain to us what the hell is going on here?
>>
>>21897273
"No, of course it wasn't JUST a simple S.T.O.B. But you guys have NOT been making friends, you know.
"The TSAB is mad as Hell with you guys constantly baiting New Chaos ships into attacking their Dimensional Navy, and the detonation caused the Great Crusade to show up after apparently staying away due to a treaty for the past 100 years or so."
>>
>>21897321
>>21897323

"We've been doing no such 'baiting," the Captain decrees, frowning. "The only conflict we've had with the TSAB have been when their agents attempt to cross our blockade. They seem to focus mainly on New Chaos, a fact we are thankful for."

The Captain pauses. "...but if they are mad at us for starting this mess, they have that right. But only by maintaining this blockade can we hope to atone! New Chaos, nor any other faction cannot be allowed to get their hands on what is on Earth!"

The Captain seems to think for a moment.

"I cannot tell you everything, but... maybe I can tell you enough to make you understand."

>>21897323
"And then there's the Shin-Ra, who've just been thrust into the nightmare of an unstable sector where they don't even have spaceships. Then there's the Universal Union, that's using the weakened dimensional barriers to go on an invasion streak. We've already had to fend off one Combine invasion.
"Just be glad that this hasn't affected the Timeline Wars. Do you have ANY idea what would have happened if you violated the Tannhauser Conventions?
"And yes, we've lost hundreds of our people because of the after-effects of that one captain's mistake."

I'm pretty sure that the TSAB said that VE ships would lead their own ships into the paths of NC ships when we talked about it with Celeste, and that VE ships were also attacking her defense line.
MetaOP, is that correct? Or am I misremembering?

"The vessel carrying the STOB was not a combat ship, it was a simple exploration vessel collecting artifacts of interest to our research teams. We had just arrived in this sector of space-time and were eager to begin charting and studying it. That fated vessel had traced a curious energy tremor to a ruined planet with that device on it. But we were not the only ones who had been following that signal. Shortly after recovering the device and identifying it, a grotesque ship arrived in the system. Calling itself the "Stiletto", they claimed to serve New Chaos and demanded the artifacts. Our ship refused and tried to flee, but soon found itself in a fight for survival. Determined not to allow these demonic beings who PULSED with paradox to lay hands on his cargo or crew, the captain ordered the STOB to be detonated on a dialed-down setting, hoping to destroy the New Chaos warship in a single stroke. But something happened that surprised even our greatest analysts."

"The STOB somehow resonated with the other artifacts on board the ship, and combined with the altered settings managed to breach the very barriers between worlds, but that was not all. After careful study of just how the change had happened, our scientists determined that the altered STOB had managed to rewrite reality itself in several places, tapping into a dimension we had only theorized before, a place..."

It's entirely possible the captain just doesn't know about it, which would suggest at least it isn't standard practice.

Captain Franklin cuts himself off before going further, clearing his throat before continuing.

"We sent out several teams to scout the altered worlds, encountering New Chaos and others repeatedly along the way. As the encounters slowly escalated to full on war, we determined a curious pattern. Several areas of time-space had been altered for easy rearrangement... each cluster of worlds almost having what amounts to a 'reset button' embedded into it. Again and again we found these areas, too many to be coincidence, studied them, and drew an unexpected conclusion."

"Each 'reset button' was a unique example of how to alter reality. Each 'reset button' was not only a way to restore an area to some form of normalcy, but also provided a piece of a greater puzzle. When taken together, our scientists began to see a sort of blueprint one might use to affect reality on a grand scale... or to put it bluntly, each of those 'buttons' was intentional put there to guide any researcher studying them towards a deep enough understanding of reality to replicate the effect that caused all this. We learned that... and were afraid."

"To be able to change the world...no, all worlds. Irrevocably. What a fearsome power... What a terrible burden. We put together enough pieces of the puzzle to know that this knowledge must be kept safe from those who would abuse it at all costs. A STOB is the primary component for this device, yes... but there are others. Others that must not fall into the hands of any that would use them! That is why we keep the blockade, and that is why we cannot allow anyone to pass! No one with the knowledge to craft or use the device must make it to the Earth's surface! No risks can be taken, no exceptions made! Not with everything that exists on the line! Do you understand now? Do you understand why we cannot let you deeper into Sol?"

"I'm not sure what you've been told, Captain Franklin, but as far as the TSAB has told us, Void Engineer ships have lured Dimensional Navy patrols into fights with New Chaos fleets. And now I hear that some of your compatriots are even attempting to breach the TSAB containment line keeping the fighting in this warzone from spilling into TSAB-controlled space.
"And the Meta, is what we call it, Captain. I'm not sure if you're ready to see what we see when we look at you.

"They already HAVE! That's why they fight us so relentlessly! New Chaos has always been extremely careful not to attack anything it cannot destroy easily before, always mindful of their limited numbers... just as we were mindful of our limited numbers. What would drive them to sacrifice so much of their vaunted armies? What would cause we last exiles of Earth to take up arms against them? And even more terrifying, they are not the only ones! They are only the first to arrive, there have been indications that others have reached the same conclusions. By your own words, there's an AI out there that probably wants to use this for its own ends. We've tracked enough subtle space-time probes to know this system is under heavy watch.

And yet you seem so resistant to working with us to do it. Are you so afraid of us even getting a glimpse of something we most likely already know? We're not some unknowing savant, we understand exactly what we're fighting for.

As for the device, would it happen to match something like this?

"Unfortunately, then, Captain, I have to inform you that you've most likely already failed. Kane already got to Earth. Our best estimates with his Chronosphere are that he arrived a month ago, possibly more. And if he could get to the surface, Ahriman is not far behind.

Sounds like another day on the job for us, then.

Then he's had a month and a half to much around on the surface with no-one to stop him. You know how dangerous this is, so I won't try and convince you.

There's two factions down there. Both of which are some of the worst possible people to get their hands on a weapon like this. Because they will use it. Without a second thought. They will use it to try and assume some short sighted goal at the expense of every other being in creation. And both of them have a head start on us right now. So we are going to send a team down there. And we are going to stop them.

If it comes down to it, just break through the fleet, don't try to take all of them on at once. You'll be slaughtered and the chaos will allow God knows what else to sneak through to the surface. Not to mention the brave men and women you'd be killing whose only crime was defending a creation they wanted to see more of."

What's the fastest ship we have, and how much weight can we strip off of it. It looks like we'll be needing a proper blockade runner soon.

I'm thinking we strip a ship down to engines and a stealth system. The crew wears environment suits so we can take out the life support system. The weapon systems will be more or less useless. And we only need enough armor to get through reentry, and only enough fuel for a one way trip.
>>
>>21898133
To break through the blockade, we need to utilize Vitun, Elysium, and Thinking With Gates.
Vitun uses an Interplanetary Teleport to arrive on Earth's surface. He then creates a Gate to Elysium.
Troops enter Elysium from the Gate in the All Under Heaven's hangar bay, go through Elysium, then exit through the Gate on Earth.

Also, we need to prepare to rescue those TSAB operatives. They've been on the planet for a while; they might have a lead on Black Ops and Kane.

Also, we should Meta-Comm to Commander Celeste, that we've been able to find evidence of some of her people, and for her to please send us a list and profile photos of the people she's lost so that we can check them against the list.

Also, contact the Jovian Federation:
"We have great news! We were able to talk with the Void Engineer captain of the fleet here, and we were able to clear up misconceptions! Apparently they were trying to keep Earth safe from New Chaos. He is on his way to talk to his superior, to get him to see the light, and that it is only through working together, in the name of JUSTICE, can we stop New Chaos."

>>21898272
Sorry, I forgot that we could do that. Then why are we having so much trouble with comms? New Chaos has Klingon, and therefore teleporter, tech in this battle, why aren't any interdiction fields up? Shouldn't the Chaos forces be using warp-fuckery to block that? For some reason, my brain is telling me we shouldn't be able to use our teleporters here.
>>
>>21898323
Comms are specifically being blocked. Subspace transports are different in the way they work.
New Chaos has Klingon tech, which still needs to drop shields to use their transporters. Warp is different and is probably blocked by VE reality emitters, like how Warp teleportation gets blocked by our Mk II and higher RE's.

Subspace transports require reconfiguring the transporters, something that the Klingon engineers would be hard-pressed to do on a good day, but that Federation engineers can do in an hour easily.
Also, it helps that the Federation was already experimenting with the technology and so they know how to use it.
The reason why it's not used versus regular transporters, even though it can punch through shields and has a range of 4 to 5 light-years, is because it's more expensive, the transports take significantly longer, and they're not as safe.

The last part we can get around because Vitun messes with luck and can ensure that it works.

Check the point we set to talk, too.

>>21898419
No, we've got stuff to do!

We need to get Vitun prepared for a possible insertion to rescue the TSAB team.
Also, we should Meta-Comm to Commander Celeste, that we've been able to find evidence of some of her people, and for her to please send us a list and profile photos of the people she's lost so that we can check them against the list.
>>
>>21898390
Thank you. This makes a lot more sense then. Would magical teleportation also work, or would that be blocked by the VE reality emitters?
>>
>>21898433
She sends you the list, you confirm some of them as being in the vision the Aurors had.

>>21898429
Nope.
>>
>>21898490

Nope as in it never left, or nope as in it went in and didn't come out?
>>
>>21898451
Depending on the size of the field, it may be blocked. We would be able to find out when Vitun tries to teleport and it fails.

>>21898490
Have our Observers and Advanced Meta-Sensors picked up the Void Engineer's Barrier Fields (their version of a Reality Emitter's field)?

If the Observers can detect a Barrier Field, the we could have one pop into Earth orbit on the opposite side of the planet from the Moon, grab a reading, then pop out to the task force.
But doing so might be construed as a hostile act by the UEFA and the Void Engineers, especially if they detect the warp jump.
Better not to risk it just yet.

What about the data feeds from the trio of Observers that we first sent near the Moon and got vaporized? Did they indicate a Barrier Field protecting the planet?

>>21898559
From past actions, they'll just vaporize it with a gravity blast cannon.

>>21898564
I'm not sure your Observers can pick up Barrier Fields.

>>21898559
You send your array to the specified place...
>>
>>21898606
And they get vaporized by a gravity blast cannon.

Before they do, they manage to send back a transmission showing large-scale mining operations in the asteroid belt being carried out by the Void Engineers. Several space-docks near the belt suggest fleet-construction operations. Then an escort ship fires on the Observers and you lose contact.

"A.N.O.N., confer with the Farseers and Darius. What is the maximum distance that a reliable Warp teleport, using the powers of the warp, can be done at the infantry scale. Compare that distance with how far the Void Engineer blockade is from Earth, and how far they're keeping New Chaos away. See if there's a match.

Could Mustadio use a synthetic diamond array and gold paint to, with the magic assistance of the Guru's and the Techno-Wizards, create a magic energy circuit to enhance the flow of a teleport spell's energy along the Federation pattern enhancer's dedicated sensor arrays to create a thaumaturgic amplification, and the adaptive communication circuitry to compensate for anti-magical interference, to boost the power of the teleport spell and get through jamming?

You know that's where a lot of the fighting is happening, and that the Void Engineers have set up colonies on the surface, don't you?

Make sure that the Observers have self-destructs (powerful ones) in case New Chaos tries to capture them and they can't warp away fast enough.
>>
>>21898768
What exactly are you trying to pick up? We can't communicate with the array once they enter the zone of interference, so we can't use them as relays.
They can't detect the VE's reality fields.
We were told that getting close to Mars will only give us sensor range to the Moon, and that we need to be at the Moon to get through the interference to Earth.
And the more recon assets you send in (and get blown up), the less likely that the Void Engineers and the UEFA are to accept our help.

Just so that they're roughly the same distance from the sun as mars would be.

For one, the fate of Franklin.

For two, just what is blowing up our observers when we send the next comms package.
>>
>>21898804
It's been a very short amount of time since Franklin left for the main VE fleet; about an hour or less.

And as for what's blowing up our Observers, it's VE patrols and large-scale gravity blast cannon batteries.

Every time you do this threatens Franklin being able to convince his commander to let us approach Earth.
>>
>>21898768
>>21898802
Franklin's fleet was tracked to Earth, it seems to have arrived half an hour ago.

No, they'll shoot us for violating the blockade they've set up. You'd basically throw everything we've done with Franklin into the shitter.
This is a stupid idea.

Now that the scavengers are back, begin scavenging some of the Void Engineer debris.

Pounding on New Chaos ships.

Beyond the blockade.

Without crossing it.

Or rescueing VE ships in trouble.

Their blockade is not just Earth but the entire system. They consider the entire system to be under lockdown, and just because their forces are concentrated on Earth as their final line of defense doesn't mean that we aren't already breaking what they consider to be part of their blockade.

Technically we already did that, now we're just trying to figure out the best thing to do next.

We're already hitting the fan, now we're just trying to stay clean.

Rolled 29, 47 = 76

They start going to work.

>>21898888
Your Observers start slowly scanning the moon.

As these actions are carried out, a tremor suddenly seems to run through space itself as the Oncoming Storm and All Under Heaven's space-time sensors go wild. Space around the Earth seems to twist and bend, continually writhing even after the tremor subsides.

"Massive temporary distortion wave coming from Earth!" a comm/scan officer calls out. "It's already dissipating, but the space-time fabric has been weakened immensely!"

"Naturally occurring rifts will begin to form in less then four hours!" another officer shouts. "The Void Engineer blockade seems to have been thrown into disarray by the event wave and have suffered light damage! Same with New Chaos, and are attempting to exploit the breaches to get past the blockade!"

And that is where we end for tonight.

The Aurors will need to re-scry on the TSAB Recon Team to confirm that they're still where we thought they were. It should be easier this time since we think we know where they are, and have names and faces to help the scrying. Also the Psi Shield needs to be ready to activate as soon as whatever tried to get our Aurors tries again; Vitun's luck will need to be used to prevent that from happening.

Also, MetaOP, did Mustadio enhance those pattern enhancers to work with Vitun's Interplanetary Teleport?
>>
>>21899049
I already said no to the pattern enhancers.

NOW I'm going to sleep.
>>
>>21899065
This is what we got Mustadio's special ability for, though.
Bah, we'll still need the pattern enhancers if we use a subspace transport anyway.
>>
>>21899080
Mustadio's special ability can't do everything.

I forgot to say. Next session Friday.

NOW I SLEEP.
>>
>>21899049
We made the TSAB wait for far too long, and now this happened.
Hopefully they're still alive, we can still get to them, and the intel they have is still valid.
