*The three signals continue to slowly move inwards and the radiation centered around the signals' origins is moving with the signals on the same path. Anti-matter radiation levels are still high, although Liberte is still reparing itself. The three signals are in a different area of the system than were the transport was. There seems to be a new, strong com. signal, connecting the origins of the signals together. The signals paths seem to be converging on a single location, the planet placed between that location and Jean's fleet. Something's coming his planet's way.*

( Out of Character: Wow, holidays are hectic, i have not been around for a while. I apologize. Once The new year comes around i will be able to re-commit to thew RP again. Anyway, without explaining my holiday stories, i need a quick update. Is Raze still doing that job? Or, because of my absence, has that been taken care of? Is there anything else crucial i need to know before i fix myself back into the storyline? )

Com link to planet surface. *one is established.* Josephine. Code panzer plot. *She gives the signals to her people and the approaching item is hit by a gigantic surface to space lazor cannon. Anti matter is neutrilized by equal parts matter and the energy is met and dispersed. Nothing remains of the approaching object. Liberte springs back to life and begins charging energy weapons. It setill does not move. No outside change can be seen.*

(I hope you're still on the job. the fight she got out of the corporate grunts was just boring.)

Out of character: Yes, you're still on the job. But you'll only get paid for that job if that's the only one Raze does.

Back to game:

*One of the signals dissappears when the cannon destroys its origin. However, the other two have a different origin and detonate on their own, releasing large amounts of anti-matter radiation in the blast, again interfering with enemy sensors. On the Corporate Pride, Arcturus sends a transmission to Lawrence.*
Arcturus: "Lawrence, I detonated two modified IACS-class torpedoes on your side of the system. Use the released radiation as cover to sneak up on their planet. I would appreciate it if you could lower their shields for us, but beware of a planetary cannon in possession of the enemy, they used it to destroy one of the three torpedoes. We should move quickly and attack before the cannon has time to power up again."
*The transmission ends and Arcturus' fleet moves further inward.*
Arcturus: "Malder, order the Anti-Matter Accelerator ship to fire on the enemy."
Malder: "That will give away our position."
Arcturus: "No, it will give away the Accelerator ship's position. And deactivate the second shield ship. We only need one right now."
*The long barrel of the AMA-class vessel powers up and fills itself with a large quantity of anti-matter. Shortly after that, the anti-matter moves through the barrel, the electromagnetic rings accelerating it, until it is finally ejected out with amazing speed. The anti-matter impacts on Liberte, ripping through shields and severely damaging it. The repair process is interrupted and ceases because of the attack. The Accelerator ship is visible and prepares itself to fire again.*

Lawrence: Very well. We should be safe from the planetary cannon if we approach from the far side of the planet.
*Lawrence's ships perform a microjump into range of the first planet in the system, they deploy gravity wells and all fire their main anti-matter cannons into the planet, the shields flash and flicker under the impact. The ships then turn sideways, into a defensive V shape and open fire with their incredible mass of turbolasers*

Out of character-I also will be unable to post for the next few days, I should be back on Wednesday, but that might only be briefly. Tacitacial can command Lawrence's ships for the time being, but I would preffer that they be used as artillery, and not engage in any close combat.

*The main guns of Paris turn to lawrences fleet. The fully charged guns (sorry eli, I forgot what you named them.) let loose and rip through anything in their way. a good portion but not nearly all of Lawrences ships are damaged or destroyed.*

*Arcturus' fleet is now within firing range. The fleet decloaks and opens full fire on the enemy ships whilst they are distracted by Lawrence's vessels. Lawrence's vessels retreat behind the corporate fleet whilst Arcturus' ships engage the enemy fleet. The HACS-class ships fire their main guns into two enemy capital ships, ripping through their shields and inflicting severe damage to them, if not crippling them. The carrier launches its many fighter squadrons and the battleship and Chaos-class Sun Crusher engage the enemy fighters, so far with succes. The Corporate Pride's main cannon fires a sustained beam at Paris, greatly draining its shields. Arcturus' fleet is moving closer to the enemy fleet whilst Lawrence's ships fly towards Arcturus' fleet under cover fire from the corporate ships.*

*The fighter crews of Paris (thank you for not including "the") fly at the Lawrences ships to clean up the mess. Thier limeted numbers is shown to be made up for with the superior speed they more through the fighter forces, taking several down along their path. The allied force seems to be concentrating on engaging the corperates.* Engeneering teams. I want those sheilds charged. *Smaller guns scatters around the hull of the ship fight off any forces that come too near, with only some success. Liberte, largly ignorned since the cannon fire gains a jolt to it's repair sequences curtisy of its owners close realationship to electricity. it will not be fighting immediatly but the process has started.*

*Several Mosquito squadrons led by Elite-fighters from the carrier fly towards the enemy fighters from Paris and engage them to cover the retreat of Lawrence's vessels. Some Wasp and Elite-fighters fly towards Lawrence's ships to escort them. The remaining fighters stay near the capital ships at the front to help fight off enemy fighter attacks. An Elite-fighter wing is dispatched from the Corporate Pride to attack Liberte. One of the shield transports flies towards Lawrence's forces and create a shield around his ships, protecting them from enemy fire whilst they take up a position behind Arcturus' fleet. The battleship and Chaos-class Sun Crusher move closer to the front, but still remain behind the HACS-class cruisers and the Corporate Pride. The Apocalyps-class cruiser, accompanied by some Wasp-fighters and with the other shield transport attached to its hull, starts accelerating and moving towards the planet.*

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!!!

*LeChuck's transport pulls into Tortuga. Zanzibar is waiting for them. LeChuck had changed out of his state clothes for his normal swashbuckling attire. He stepped off the transport with Zeus, the latter having to duck to get out of the exit. LeChuck stopped in front of Zanzibar with a grin.*
"Zanz, meet Zeus."

((The names were Redemption and Plague I believe. Also you are still equiped with a bunch of the BOTS Eli left behind.))

*Eli sits in the library pouring over old books. Every once in awhile he would finish one and float another one to him. He read virtually every book Lawrence had on the Avaters when a particularly large blast hit the ship.* Redemption. If I don't reconvert the shields this ship could be torn apart. They better start using them gravity wells. Those are the only things that could redirect a hit by Redemption.

*As Raze heads back to his ship he finds Lion laying forlorn the steps in an almost drunken fashion. As soon as Raze came into Lion's view, he straightened up and 'looked alive' as a soldier would say.*
Raze: Lets go.
Lion: Uh-- so... you gonna fill me in.
*Raze looks down at the disc and as he enters his vessel drops the breifcase to one side practically ignoring Lion. He sits himself down and prepares to take off back into space.*
Raze: Take a look at this disc. Memorize any co-ordinates or potentially important information then kill the disc.
*Lion grabs the disc out of the air just after Raze throws it to him. Lion nods and gets right to business, he can tell that Raze is in one of his 'moods'.*
*Raze calmly thinks over his plans, though, he was left with litle information about this signal or who he was going up against... he somehow had an idea of what he would need to prepare for.*
How will i get around, or through, these shields? I have to get on the inside in order to dismantel them. At least, that would be the easiest route.
*Raze thought about this Josephine who he knew nothing about except that she was an immortal like himself. He thought and thought as he waited for Lion to process the information on the disk. It was not long before he heard Lion's voice and a click of a few buttons.*
Lion: Lets get busy.
Raze: I hate it when you say that.
Lion: 'Tis why i say it wee grasshopper.
Raze: Fuck off.
*With that, the ship went into autopilot and headed for the edges of the desired system.*
This is a big payout, which means, big trouble. It should be fun.

Merry Christmas Everybody!

Zanzibar looked up at the beast of the man standing before him. "Welcome Zeus, please follow me and LeChuck." Zanzibar said turning around and signalling LeChuck over. "Now I know your one for dramatic entrances... but isn't this a little bit overkill. I mean, this guy is the size of Mortis. He is arguably human."

Shit has come up. Unlikly to be any good to you guys for a while. Won't bore you with details. Try to spend a couple days not killing Jean for me

ok, shit has passed and to make a long story short I still have a father. Thank you for not doing anything at all much as you would have if I said nothing

Out of character: I thus take it we can continue the battle? And you don't have to worry, none of us would kill another person's character. We're all reasonable people.

And merry christmas to all, a bit late probably, but it's still Christmas where I am. Not for long though.

Back to the game:

*The battleship and Chaos-class Sun Crusher have begun concentrating their fire on a small area of enemy fighters in an attempt to clear it. Numerous Mosquito fighter wings from the carrier break through the temporary breach with their speed and fly through the enemy ranks and between the enemy ships, causing confusion. A few wings of Wasp fighters, supported with Beetle bombers follow the Mosquito's under cover fire from the battleship and Sun Crusher. Lawrence's damaged fleet has taken up a position behind Arcturus' fleet and is turning around to support the corporate assault with some artillery fire. The Elite-fighter wings dispatched to attack Liberte are still battling with the machine whilst the Anti-Matter Accelerator prepares itself to fire again.*

*Liberte grabs hold of two fighters in its hands and crushes them. While they are still exploding panals move revealing gattling guns in the chestplate. They open fire on the appraoching fighters. Jeans fighter ships are faster than normal but immortal they are not. They take damage and 2 losses before sweeping across damaged ships and attacking the back end of the attackers.*

(I apriciate holding off. I just could not have thought about a game the way things were looking.)

*A wing of Mosquito-fighters from the carrier fly towards Liberte to pester it and support the Elite-fighters. The Anti-Matter Accelerator fires at Liberte again, inflicting severe damage. The Chaos-class Sun Crusher falls back to Lawrence's ships and engages the enemy fighters at the rear. The battleship stays near the front and the Wasp- and Beetle-fighter wings follow the Mosquito-fighters that broke through a little earlier. The Beetle-fighters fly past the enemy capital ships with support from the Wasp-fighters until they reach the rear of the enemy ships where the engines are. The Corperate Pride launches two disruptor torpedoes at the two enemy capital ships which were hit earlier in the battle by the main cannons of the HACS-class cruisers.*

(sorry holidays are hectic.)

*Raze finds himself approaching the edges of the system and can see some comotion in the distance.*
Raze: Steer far from the battle, this is a beautiful distraction.
*The ship co-ordinates itself appropriately as Raze gets up and gears up for entry.*
Lion: The sheild is unpenetrable.
Raze: Nothing is unpenetrable.
Lion: I fear... this one is.
Raze: Cannons?
Lion: Online.
*Raze sits back into his tall-back chair and looks upon the desired planet.*
Raze: I have an idea.
Lion: No!
Raze: What?
Lion: Your ideas suck. Lemme think for a minute.
*Raze looks over at the briefcase, then at Lion, then at his control board.*
Raze: Bloody hell, you take far too long for my liking. Aim both cannons at one direct spot. Tell me the co-oridantes before shooting.
Lion: You better not be-
Raze: Do it.
*As Lion ships around the back room the cannons begin to lift out of vessel.*
Raze: Maximum heat.
*Lion turnes up a dial and the metal cannons heat up so quickly that the outer layers are a molted red.*
Lion: Co-oridantes at your leisure.
Raze: Fire.
*With that slight word the cannons shoot a fine beam - appearing like a laser - towards the sheild. The heat of beam is almost unbearable to the Raze and Lion who it safely in the vessel.*
Lion: Nothing.
Raze: Kepp at it.
Lion: We are losing power.
Raze: Keep at it. When i give the command we will try and squeeze through before the sheild regenerates.
Lion: Christ... thats your idea?
Raze: Just do as i say.

(So, can i get a few details on this planet... as of now, it seems i am going in blind folded. Any important information i need to know?)

(The planet has current, clean technology and abundant natural resources. There are mostly small towns and agricutural settlements. There has been fighting as of late so some evidence will be around. Feel free to assume you're within a city of the girl just so things can move along.)

*The functioning arm of Liberte fires disruptor missles at the charge threatening the pirate ship. An arsonal of the same are launched from Paris towards its arrgessor.*

*Raze looks at the the blue ring around the blinding light as the beam starts to weaken and calm.*
Raze: Now... move us through.
Lion: But the sheild has not been penetrated.
Bloody hell
*Raze gets right to himself. He builds up the remaining energy to pick up as much speed as possible. With one final second blast, Raze shuts off the cannons and blasts the vessel into the sheild.*
Lion: You trying to fu-... kil-.... - us.
*Raze's hearing fades in and out as he knocks around in his chair. The loud screeching sound of the ship making contact with the sheild hits an impeccable high striking his eardrums with pain. He tries to yell, but he cannot even hear himself over the comotion of the vessel's build seemingly shifting and shape. With one final bang the ship finally pushes through and the Lion slides down the corridor towards Raze's feet.*
Lion: Your lucky.
Raze: Bloody lucky i might add.
*They both put on half a smile as their powerless ship begins to float towards the planet. *
Lion: So what about landing this puppy. We are picking up speed.
Raze: Have i ever failed you?
Lion: Nearly.
Raze: Who is the best pilote you know?
Lion: if best includes craziest -
Raze: Right, me. So, let me handle the flying while you go and figure out how to shut down their shields.
Lion: I am downloading the information as we speak.
Raze: Good, now scurry off. I got everything under control.
Sort of.
*Raze begins clicking the fuel engager, trying to scavange any remains. It seems as though the fuel was burned up with the use of the cannons or upon the fiery impact with the shield. He looks around hoping for an answer. All his naviagional keys are properly coordinated, it is just a matter of getting the damn thing online.*
Back up fuel is gone too, christ.
*Raze notices some left over power sources that were being applied to the atmosphere creator inside the vessel.*
Raze: Put on your suit.
Lion: Why?
Raze: Do it.
*Raze then makes a few commands and the vessel soon chills as looses its graviational pull. Soon the power grows and the system goes back online.*
Enough to land us.
*Before long Raze is being commed to land the ship in the appropriate dock. Raze found the docking fees a little pricey.*
Raze: I will be back soon. Com me when you know to crack this thing, and when you done that. Fix up the ship and get the atmosphere system back on.
Lion: Roger.
*Raze cant help but smile this time.*

*One of the HACS-class cruisers' shields takes a firm beating from the many disruptor missiles fired and are now depleted. The disruptor missiles fired by the Corporate Pride hit their targets, severely damaging their shields. At the rear of those two ships, the Beetle-fighters fly towards their engines and each launches two AC-class torpedoes at their target whilst firing upon them with their cannons in an attempt to finish the enemy ships off.*

(Back, but I will be going away for the new year some time tomorow)

*Lusankya breaks away from the Corporate fleet and through the "line" of Jean's fighters. The gravity wells produced by the huge ship swallow projectiles and enemy ships alike, producing a wake of gravitic distortions. As Lusankya draws level with Paris it rotates along its length, opening fire with the side cannons and raking the other ship with turbolaser blasts. The cannons on the far side throw a spray of energy into any vessels trying to counterattack, gravity wells consuming their return fire. Once Lusankya is clear of the enemy fleet it continues onward, towards the other planets in the system*

(Hey guys, sorry my posting stopped so suddenly, my motherboard got fried. I was hoping that I could continue in the story. I could read everything that has gone on...which will take a very long time. Or would it be possible to get a summary of events sence the last time I was here? I will read the last few pages to get up to speed on the current events.
Also I have formulated a story for why Gattsu and Karn disappeared, and I awas hoping that I could incorperate that so that it will make a little more sence. Again sorry i disappeared on such short notice, I tried to install something manually into my cpu, lol well I'm not very good at that heh heh heh. I hope I can come back and bring Gattsu and Karn back into the fray!)

Does any one else play Dark Throne RPG here?

Don't try it bro', they just ignore you. I asked like a zillion tims wtf this topic is all about, but they don't answer xD.

Good to see you again, things have been slow recently and we need more active players. At the end of the last era the SCA attacked Tortouga where they fought for a fair bit, then the pirates transferred them all to a far dimension, in which there were no ships, and only soldiers. Due to the massive numbers of Jovians there the SCA were pretty much owned, and Abner and Farlander died during the battle. During this time the SCA fleet returned to Earth, and captured the unoccupied Jovian and pirate ships, but once they returned to the real world the pirates were given some help to escape, and escaped Earth with what remained of the Seven Sins and their capital ship intact. Afterwards they left the system to get away from the constant harassment of the SCA and to start a new empire elsewhere.

The background info for this era (2,500) can be found a few pages back... Not sure exactly where though, so far the OWCA have conquered a small world near Jean's home system (which he is in control of). During the battle Jean fired upon the OWCA fleet and thus provoked an invasion of his system, and a huge space battle that is currently in progress. You should be able to pick up the details by reading the last page or two.
I would recommend that at least one of your characters be an ECWA commander in this era, they dont have to be if you dont want, but that side dosent seem to have anyone controlling it at the moment.

This may be my last post for a few days, I will try and get in one more tomorrow morning (it's 11:45 PM here in the UK) but I cant promise anything. If I dont post again then Tacitacial can continue controlling Lawrence's ships, I dont mind if Abner controls some things on Lusankya either.

Try reading the first post.

*Raze walks about the city heading for, what seems, the most prominent building in the city. He is assuming that the building is that of the governemtn forces and is most likeily the prime headquarter's of this 'Jean' everyone speaks so highly about in the city.*
Raze: Jean, eh?
Old Man: Aye, him in his daughter reside in there. Military faction meetings i believe are held there also.
Raze: his daughter?
Old Man: Yes, Josephine; a princess of a sort.
Raze: Wonderful.
Old Man: Hmm?
Raze: Thank you for your time, kind sire.
*Raze was nearing the building and could tell security was tight. A quick entrance would not be as simple as he hoped. It was not long after these events that Lion Commed Raze.*
Lion: Raze, my man, i am uploading a map of the headquarters and a direct route to their systems to the visual aspect of your com.
Raze: Good, i will need it.
Lion: The map will also show the direct, common patterns of local guards and floor guards. Now, the information i have managed to hack out is dated just over three weeks old, so these patterns may be old, so do not base your life on them.
Raze: Okay.
Lion: The system is laege and complex, almost too complex for me to handle, but i managed to find a mainframe port that is at the base of the system. It will have a light green label above it reading: USM 1091. Hook up the com to that i will manually take down the sheild from here.
Raze: My man, you solve everything.
Lion: It could take time, so make sure you leave yourself a nice gap. Also, the base level is not tripped in anyway, but on your map some areas, or floors, are shaded with a yellow tint. That means that they are unoccupied or offline at the time. Therefore, security is up and cameras and trips, etc are online.
Raze: Gotcha.
Lion: Be careful and com me when you are hooked up.
Raze: Aye.
*Raze walked towards the front doors and up to the guard. Slightly shielding his face so that they could not get a positive look at him.*
Raze: Excuse me.
*The guard stops Raze.*
Guard: The day has ended, sir. You will have to come back during work hours.
Raze: Oh, my apologies. I will come back early morn then. Thank you.
Guard: No problem, sir.
*Raze did not find it worth the risk attacking the guard, for a camera was right over his shaulder.*
How am i going to get in?
*Raze decides to look around and spy around back.*

Don't worry about it I still do it sometimes too.

*Eli storms past a few technicians in the control room of the shield generater. After configuring a few dials and buttons the shields jumped to life reflecting the firse of all of Jean's shots.* Sorry old friend, but I am not going to let you mess up my new home. Now you can use the gravity wells for attacking as well as defense. If you feel low on energy decrease the amount of gravity wells being projected, the shields I've given you will provide more than enough defense.

((You can take what Eli says about Jean as either to himself or to Jean it doesn't matter to me))
