Greetings all! I have just had a visit of my cousin from Jhool Prime, and he brought a basket of Zeena Berries, would anyone like to try some?

>>53630370
It is most good to see you Speaker. I would like to try some. What news of your front?

>>53630443
Nothing exciting I'm afraid, we had an election, so we have elected a new president. Although I do not agree with off his policies I do find the decreased cost of research stations very appealing. We also had an incident of a survey satellite crashing on a primitive world.

>>53630528
Perhaps you would be interested in our recent findings in the Avarian data vaults? I imagine their observatory station designs would be appealing to you.

>>53630580
Sure, sounds like a great idea.

>>53630746
Very week, we shall give you the data slates with the information on them. They are extremely complex however, most of this Avarian stuff is.

>>53630801
I will send it to the science labs in Jhool Prime as soon as I can, as I am only a humble speaker, and no scientist

Good day,Ambassadors.Anything happening with your people?

>>53630834
Best put your greatest scientists on it, fallen empire tech is immensely complex

>>53630839
Carter good to see you, what news?

Good day Ambassador Carter, as I just have told Taxla, we just finished an election, and one of our survey satellites went down over a primitive world.

>>53630839
Also feel free to try a Zeena Berry, they are delicious.

>>53630890
The Hematization is going well.However,we have the subject with the camera feed ready,to go into the Wastes and study the crashed Avarian ring stations.
In other news,I recently traveled across the Wastes and found a lush forest,with a strange small creature.It had a white suit and hat,and a flute.If any of you happen to know what this is,please inform me,as it cannot speak.

>>53630929
Excellent news. We have also fracked open the vault containing the blueprints for the Beacon.

>>53630900
Who won the election?Noo politics were always intriguing to me.
As for the satellite,did any primitives happen on it?Last I heard,there are laws on interacting with primitives and affecting their growth,except in cases of emergency

>>53630949
Really?Could you send it to me?These shadow creatures mentioned that were attracted by it seem extremely interesting.

>>53630971
Of course, but they are extremely complex. And we both know of the danger surrounding these Beacons.

>>53630922
Thank you,Ovaa.
>Carter trys one.
Might I say that,for all the technological wonders of other cultures,your people can't be topped when it comes to the simple pleasures in life.

>>53631000
Why,of course.Do not worry.The Wastes has dealt with many extra planar creatures before,so I will have it commissioned to be built in a null zone,by my best scientist,Dr.Feln.

>>53630370
I am afraid I must decline, honoured speaker; variances in our species biology render your delicacies a low-grade emetic for my species.

I do beg the parliament's indulgence, but I have a matter to discuss and time is of the essence.

I am well aware that relations between the Federation and our divine Kingdom have been, shall we say 'non-communicative' at best and downright cool ever since the Kingdom's expansion into the Ashfeld arm and enlightenment of no less than three pre-spaceflight species, against the advice of the Federation... It is therefore with no little reluctance and embarrassment that I come here today with a request, signed by representatives of the High Council and her Divine Majesty, High Queen Sheldren the fourth, for Federation aid in the matter of some 1.2 billion refugees that have resulted from disastrous rogue meteorite field that passed through the lesser kingdom of Ryush some 26 gal-standard days ago and the... Regrettable civil disturbance that resulted from the deployment of the Second Fleet to the disaster zone.

>>53631035
It appears that only continuous use attracts them. Also I should mention that these beacons are place on stations or worlds, and the ships home in on them.

>>53631079
I realize this.The plan is to allow some of these ships to come to the Wastes,where they will crash into the Null zone.Hematization aside,the residents can still use self defense,and so if any of them attack they will be eliminated.I plan on capturing one,to study it.I already have learned much from the captured Hive ship.

>>53631076
Do you need help in housing them?Or just transporting them?
And if you have a pic to represent you,please post it.The draw request is nearly done being made.

>>53631121
It appears that a small number can be drawn out of the Beacon is 'opened', rather than having to jump continuously.

84KB, 360x360px

Declining birthrates on Solutus' have led to very depressing population shrinkages, but also lots of empty land around the great sausage-factory teocalli.

Solutus is open for many migration treaties, and is happy to export the many and varied local-culture sourced meat products (especially the Sacred Sausages from the temple-factories!) to fellow federation members in return.

>>53631167
That will make it easier.I hear jumping too much in one session is bad for your health.

>>53630224
Esteemed ambassadors. Servant monarchs. Faces of nations.

We, I, It. The Carmine Plane. The Astral Predator. Eater of Cancer. Majority Stockholder of ExoCorp Intergalactic.

We, I, It. Have come to treat, deal, demand.

We demand that the sanctions on Generall Goods Industries be lifted in the western expanse, this has cut profits by .89%. This loss is unacceptable.

>>53631179
Well,we currently have Sir Ty'solan here with aa refugee problem.Perhaps you could help house them?

>>53631209
It makes it more controllable, but you must prepare around it. The shadow beings will go straight for the Beacon in the initial stages to keep it open.

>>53631220
I haven't heard of any sanctions,at least not in a while.I am in support of lifting it if there is one,however.Sanctions only harm our economy.
Would you like one of Ovaa's Zenaida Berries?They are very good.

>>53631254
Trust me,Brain Taxla,if those things even try hurting a denizen of the Wastes,I'm going to have to hire a janitor to wash them out of the floor,if you catch my drift.

>>53631296
I trust in your defenses, anything you need you let us know.

>>53631296
Sorry,I meant Baron.

>>53631317
tfw to intelligent

This thing is still alive?
Do you at least have some fluff like thing, or do you just shitpost what you want?

>>53631236
The Solutus is ... *are* glad to be of great service. We are experts at handling and processing large numbers of people, after all! The Solutus wish only to be of service to the Great Federation.

>>53631076
Good representative, the Solutus are eagerly happy to aid you with the matter of your refugees. We will dispatch all matter of craft immediately, if you give us leave to help these poor unfortunate souls.

>>53631345
[/spoiler]From what I've seen,there is fluff to individual cultures,and how the Federation acts on things,but it's also developed alongside the posts,and is kind of open ended so people can join in without being too restricted.[/spoiler]

>>53631151
I would, but a) I'm using my Stellaris lot and they are depressingly human-like and b) I only just decided to join in as this looked like fun. I don't want to be an intrusive asshole if there's a 'thing' going on.

Both, unfortunately. The only worlds that are sufficiently close to house the influx of refugees are woefully under-developed* and the sheer scale of the disaster as well as... Various regrettable factors** are making both transport of the population from immediate danger, as well as housing, medical assistance, sustenance, policing*** and other essentials frankly impossible!

Naturally, an assistance effort would require an amendment to several treaties regarding the sanctity of the Kingdom's borders****, but as an ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, in addition to the signatures of my divine sovereign and her most excellent council, I am authorised to make such amendments for the duration of this emergency.

>>53631236
I am afraid that is out of the question. Laws dating back to the Kingdom's First Contact forbid the movement of Royal citizens from movement outside of Eortite territory, without express permission of a royal charter. Any and all management of the refugees must be conducted within Kingdom space.

>>53631378
[Federation diplomatic database notifications]
* The Ryush sector (local designation: Lesser Kingdom) is self-sufficient and possessed of a developed industrial base. Likelihood of fasehood: 56% with 4% margin-of-error
** Federation intelligence reports indicate the Eortite Second Fleet has engaged in light combat since its deployment to the Ryush sector. Opponent unknown.
*** The Kingdom of Eortan's legal code is at odds with the Federation legal code on 14 major and 87 minor points that may cause a diplomatic incident. The majority of these points concern the civil rights of citizens.
**** The Kingdom of Eortan closed its borders to all Federation civilian and military traffic 3 galactic-standard years after contact, with exceptions for economic exchange in three border worlds. This situation has persisted for 47 galactic-standard years and has resulted in 2 engagements with Federation citizens violating Eoritite space. Death-toll stands at 149 Federation citizens, 37 of which were considered category-C criminals under Federation law and an unknown number of Eortite casualties.

>>53631353
>>53631378
Do not worry,Sir Ty'solan.We can help transport them,and set up crucial infrastructure on these underdeveloped worlds,and I believe Solutus has an impressive transport fleet if my memory serves me.All we ask is that an embassy is set up on one of these planets,to allow Federation workers to follow Federation laws,at least for a short time.
You can post it if you'd like,but if you feel it's too human like then that s fine.Just keep in mind that you don't necessarily have to use a Stellaris avatar,and to be in the draw request you need one.

>>53631378
And don't worry about being intrusive.As long as you don't do something like blow up half of the ambassadors,you are welcome to join in.It's more fun when dealing with new issues and new cultures.

>Further explorations of the data vaults on Avar have uncovered many advanced mining and farming techniques. The technology to repair the 3 remaining fortresses in orbit has also been found, and engineering crews are being sent to begin repairs.

>>53631566
Perhaps these fortresses have caches of weapons or knowledge in them.

>>53631605
Well, they have extremely advance weaponry on board, as well as comfortable living spaces. However when we took them before the invasion, they were in such a state of disrepair that the weapons wouldn't even fire. Seems the long years of stagnation had effected their weapons too.

>>53631633
Wonder why they were left in such a bad state?The Avarians sound like a proud people,and their androids were formidable,I hear,It doesn't make sense to abandon a fortress,at least without a good reason.

>>53631679
The were crewed, at full strength even. But so many centuries without a enemy to fight, I imagine it was a miracle their advanced warships and androids actually worked.

>>53631694
Ah,so they let their guard down.Not a very smart move,especially if your running a privateering operation.

>>53631741
They grew decadent, hoarding technology and let it all fall into disrepair. Apparently there hadn't been a single scientific innovation in over 400 years.

>>53631779
I hope the Dukedom reeducares them,then.Such complacency leads to weakness,after all.

>>53631807
They are strong of mind, and if spirit. We are actually surprised to find many scientists and military minds are quite happy to see us, although there has been a.....unforeseen side effect to our conquest.

>>53631807
Educates.I don't even know if educares is a word.

>>53631836
Side effect?Is it cultural differences,or issues with keeping government jobs?

>>53631271
We shall devour this morsel.

Yes these sanctions have been emplaced due to "unethical" work environments in the manufacturing facilities. I do not see the use in such ephemeral concepts when the current circumstance is the most efficient.

>>53631856
Well, it appears that for some time before our invasion, a party had formed advocating re-armament and a reclamation of their lost territory. They see us as a means to achieve this goal.

>>53631353
May the ascendant devourer that is the Carmine Plane interest you in an exciting business venture in the Generall Goods Industries manufacturing centers? Your flesh seems resilient and hardy.

>>53631885
I don't have experience dealing with ethics,since the Wastes runs on a survival of the fittest method.However,I would recommend either reforming work conditions,or utilizing automatons.If the conditions were reformed,your workers would work with a new vigor and enthusiasm,and sanctions would be lifted,both helping your profit margins.And if you use non ai automatons,work would be even more efficient and cost effective,and sanctions would be lifted.

>>53631893
That seems troublesome.Much of the lost territory is in Ploraxian space and Rumaar space.Both are allies,and both have mighty armies.Perhaps negotiating with them for the territory would be advantageous.

>>53631910
The Solutus are happy where they are, and who they are with at any time, and we do so cherish our cultural goods & sausages production.

While we wait for the good Sir Ty'solan to come back to us with a reply, can we interest you in a wreath of very cultural Sacred Sausages? They were fashioned in mournful rememberance of those who left the Solutus temple-factories, but it is said that this only enhances the taste.

>>53631951
We are currently informing them that such a venture cannot be carried out, due to the size of the nations holding them, but I fear that there technology is,staggering. Already Avarian engineers have set to work on rebuilding and repairing their ancient vessels. We are currently in talks right now.

>>53631938
The factories use automated workers. That is the problem, the automata continue to cease their own existences due to said "unethical" labour conditions.

The sanctions refer to the machines, there is no fleshing servants.

>>53631975
Bring us this sausage, so the souls of your fallen may tremble at the insatiable hunger and terrible quarterly earnings of the Crimson Plane?

>>53632016
Ah, if your quarterly earnings are terrible, rest assured, should you go bankrupt and be hounded by relentless enemies for all the deeds you have done in ExoCorp, the Solutus will shelter and shield you from all outsiders. We do, after all, have quite many empty homes to fill near the teocalli.

>>53631997
Perhaps a new ideology may help?The automatons are ceasing themselves because they believe in ethical conditions.Either remove their sense of self and reduce them to "dumb" ai,or possibly teach them a way of seeing their work,like capitalism or communism.They may be human centric,but they could motivate working.

Greetings my fair friends, it has been too long since I was last able to attend one of theses meetings. I'm afraid an alarming number of heretics, cursed be their perversions of the way, has kept the many houses and her grace, her light the eminent wisdom of Moxif, very busy. Pray tell, what has happened in my absence.

>>53631987
You may want to be more forceful.The Avarians don't seem as honor bound as the rest of the Dukedom,and they may go against orders to not reclaim territory.

>>53632060
The stagnant ascendancy of the Avarian empire has been subdued by Dukedom forces. There data banks are now open and we have knowledge of many powerful technologies.

>>53632060
We fought off a hive mind,met two extraplanar entities,Hematization is occurring in the Wastes,and the Dukedom has made multiple technological ventures.As of now we are assisting in a refugee crisis,and helping the Carmine Plane prevent his worker's mass suicide.
It has been a while,your Highness.Any recent events with your people?

>>53632085
They are too far in our territory to threaten others. We have also commandeered most of their vessels and factories. They view others as lesser it would seem.

>>53632131
It seems that they need to learn that there is more to the galaxy than Avaria.Perhaps teaching them will open their minds?

>>53632120
A hive mind you say! Why, what a fascinating experience that must have been. I, Trustworthy Solutus, yes, representative of the Solutus, would like to inquire if you know where that hive mind came from? Or went, after you beat them?

It's a very cultural affair for us, you understand, that's what drives the Solutus to ask.

>>53632143
It is good to see you Voidspeaker.You may want to meet the Carmine Plane,I think you would find much to discuss.However,I must ask a question of your past.

>>53632172
They have seen it all, they have existed for many years. They feel that caring about such lessees is beyond them. I feel they see us as merely a tool to use. It may take a very long time to adjust them to everything.

>>53632190
We are not sure where it originated.It somehow came to the Wastes,where it mutated into a ravenous being that desired destruction.Due to the efforts of our combined forces,it was defeated,non violently I might add.Last I saw them,they were in the custody of the Phss.However,I captured one of their ships in the battle to analyze them.If you wish,I can send a specimen or two over,with some research notes.

>>53632192

O͞h̸? Ẃhat i͜s it̀?

>>53632210
Of course,but it will be worth the effort.They will soon realize that the Dukedom is much more than their subjugation,and they will be proud to be a part of it.

>>53632232
After the Dukedom's forces defeated Avaria,much technology was recovered.Some history was as well,detailing a war with certain Shadow Creatures,or demons as they called them.They were largely responsible for the Avarian's collapse of much of their empire,and commited numerous atrocities,even managing to crash a number of ring stations within the Wastes.I plan on exploring these,but I noticed that these creatures sound very much like the creatures in your history.The ones that committed such atrocities and wars that your people merged into five,and two of those five into one.

>>53631997
Remind me, honoured speakers and delegates, has the federation not yet extended full rights to sapient machines? Eortite philosophers proved the theoretical existence of the silica animus before our contact with your polity and every AI yet created by the Kingdom has been granted full citizenship rights, but I digress...

>>53631442
The offer of the Carnem Wastes is most appreciated, honoured ambassador I will have my aide transmit the details immediately*, but deployment will have to wait until an agreement can be reached regarding the right-of-passage amendment. Speaking of which, I have brought with me a draft copy. Please accept the transmission to your terminals**. I might also remind the honoured ambassador that the Federation already maintains an embassy on our sanctified homeworld, by the tolerance of her Divine Majesty. A further embassy in the Ryush sector would be completely surplus to requirements***.
Don't have many other avatars and given the Kingdom's sovereign status (Ty'solan acting as a foreign ambassador, rather than part of the federation), I don't think it'd be appropriate

[Federation diplomatic database notifications]
* All public news reports indicate that only two worlds within the Ryush sector were affected by the meteorite storm. Deployment request indicates refugee movement from four worlds, 7 moons and 48 asteroid and orbital facilities. Deployment request further includes request for medical supplies far exceeding projections of requirement for a one-time event.
** Proposal includes several points that contradict Federation law, including the censorship of information and restriction of the rights to freedom of movement and association.
*** Possible deflection detected. Likelihood 81% with 9% margin-of-error

>>53632285
I may be wrong,and I apologive if I am,but have you encountered these creatures?Your knowledge may help in our study of them.I planned to try and attract them to the Wastes with a beacon,but I won't until you give the go ahead,just in case.

>>53632223
Solutus would love to share all manner of insights with your scientists! We shall bring a banquet of the most cultural sausages we can muster from the temple-factories!

>>53632240
Yes it will. They have military minds that would startle even a seasoned veteran. But we have learned of the greatest cache of their technology, on their original home world of Avar.

Interesting news, my feathery winged friend, the scientists of the Igna castes will certainly be thrilled to analyse the data.
>>53632120
You make me blush! I am only a lord and undeserving of the title highness, that is simply an image of the blessing to our empire who I represent, It seems many troubles have beset the federation, only more fuel for the isolationists I fear. I bear curiosity to this hematization of the wastes you speak of. As for the empire, things are mixed at best. A star that had crystallised into Zro has been discovered The celebrations of the festival of the first colour were the grandest they have ever been, house Ta'Vu out did themselves this year. Many So'Vih I know were overjoyed to learn of the new cultures we had opened too. This was sadly washed away by terror attacks during the festival of liberating flight. More attacks have happened elsewhere. Heretics, to whom a thousand hells would not be enough, have publicly stated that they believe the storm kings held the true path, something which I am disgusted to even quote, and seek to create a new one.

>>53632288
Why of course.Give me one moment.

>Carter checks his transmission vox receiver,leather bound and covered in a substance that looks like blood and bile.

I see.Do not worry,these terms are fine.I will send ships of my own to help shortly,and I assume Solutus will help as well.Excuse me for forgetting about the embassy.My memory leaves me sometimes.
As for your concerns about AI,I am fairly certain that machines are considered to have rights.However,it depends on the AI,and recently a movement heralded by a robot named John in the Federation has devoted itself to "enlightening" robots.

>>53632328
Perhaps.Further research is required.If I attract some,I will send the data to you.Do you believe they are still a threat?

>>53632360
We are willing to offer the schematics for ringworlds, and other medical and agricultural marvels in the vault, also the schematics for observation posts.

>>53632318
No issue,my friend!Here,I will send it now.

>>53632378
Sure those ships would arrive in time, if you remembered to pay the regular fee for protection against illegal piracy. Ah, not that I mean to pry but, are much is their cargo worth in federation credits?

If you offer this as a gift, it is most graciously accepted, if it is a trade, I am sure her highness, who's wings are a rainbow of glory, would offer our great treasures for.

>>53632360
Excuse me for mistaking you for her Higness then,I did not mean offense.Please send my regards to her,it has been a while since we discussed.
I am happy that you are learning about such culture,but terrorism is not something I take lightly.If you require assistapence defeating these foul terrorists,I will send a fleet to help out.
As for Hematization,it is when an Organ in the sky of the Wastes sheds its outer layer.New life is birthed,sustenance is plentiful,and for a week and a half no violence is instigated.Multiple stalls and attractions are built,showing different cultural values unified under the Wastes,a dangerous beautiful place.It is like a festival,with weirder happenings.
I would recommend going.A trip to the Wastes is life changing for many,and it has no fear of violence during this time.

>>53632232
What is this thing not of flesh?

>>53632488
These technologies could save countless lives and further scientific knowledge in fields that go beyond military prowess. We are opening these technologies to all civilised peoples, Avian or not.

>>53632487
Well,I won't let any more than necessary survive.To study the may grant benefits,however.
>>53632507
This is the Voidspeaker.I believe you two may have much in common.
>>53632438
No cargo other than basic essentials to transport as many refugees as possible.Trust me,pirates won't be an issue.They are heavily armed,and bioships as well.

>>53632523
That is good news.In these times sharing knowledge is as important as helping with resources and military might.

Greetings, Mortals!

I for one, would sure love a migration treaty with all of you. That we might culturally enrich your empires with our presence.
We Space Hydra are the very model of congeniality!

>>53632505
No offence taken my friend. The hematization sounds like a wondrous thing, I would be thrilled to see it. I must sadly decline your help however, the strikes have mostly been on planets with large isolationist elements, and foreign help would likely strengthen their resolve.
>>53632523
Blessings upon you and your kindness. It is good to see such charity in these darkening times.

>>53632604
I will not be undone by my confidence for refusing to pay tribute.These are refugees,and nothing else of value is there.Slavery is also banned in 114 major governments.To pirate one would be foolish as it would hamper your reputation,and the ships will dissolve themselves if they are taken.Keep in mind that Orga Lances have biological equivalents,and they will most certainly be equipped.

>>53632378
'Enlightenment' can take many forms; an unfortunate consequence of a word with such a loaded history...

Regardless, I am most gratified to hear of the Carnem Wastes' unilateral acceptance of the amendments. Your digital signature has been accepted and processed and the transport ships can move as soon as scheduling and hyperspace tides permit. Please allow me to extend the most heartfelt thanks of the Divine Kingdom of Eortan, for your people's help in this time of crisis! Your actions will not soon be forgotten, I promise you.

>>53632438
You would threaten relief supplies?! Of all-!

Might I take this time to remind the 'worthy' Corsairs' Union* that the Kingdom's policy on piracy within its borders is one of Red Flag; no quarter asked and none given and that the Second Fleet is currently deployed within the Ryush sector on full combat alert** for the duration of the emergency. The Kingdom believes this is more than sufficient protection for the relief supplies.

>>53632360
Ah- While the Kingdom unequivocally condemns the actions of such terrorists, I must add that even were we not currently managing our own crisis, policy and doctrine prevent the allocation of resources to polities governed by heathen authorities***.

[Federation diplomatic database notifications]
* Personal bias detected. Odds of hostile attitude towards proposals by the Galactic Corsairs' Union increased exponentially
** Full combat alert noted as atypical for military forces responding to a natural disaster.
*** Policy clarification: The Divine Kingdom of Eortan only extends such discrimination towards theocracies of rival religious beliefs and not towards polities with the separation of church and state, or theocracies that follow the Eortite state religion.

>>53632603
Yes,it is.In fact,i would be honored if you and your Empress could attend.The Wastes are often seen in a negative light,and it can be argued that it may be deserved,but I wish to foster a new view of my home.
As for the terrosism,I will not assist if you don't wish for aid.May you defeat them and emerge victorious and strong,my ally.

>>53632603
It is only right. Too long have these fallen empires hoarded technology that can be used for better.

>>53632584
What news of the shadow beings? Has the Void speaker confirmed any relation to his past?

>>53632612
Of course.You are a good ally,Voidspeaker,and a better friend.I would hate to harm that.

>>53632659
>>53632700
You seem to be mistaken, it is not from me that you should protect your fleet. Pirates, who would have guessed it?, don't shy away from actions banned from the federation. We merely make sure that those actions do ont target anyone who is wise enough to pay a-totally legal and well within the laws of the galactic federation- protection fee. Still, no one is forced to...
>>53632587
...Just watch out for migrating hydras.

>>53632713
It appears so.They are Void Heretics,and they are incredibly dangerous.Don't worry,only the bare minimum of them will be kept alive for study.I would like to find out why they are so violent.

>>53632700
Why,it is no issue.To help allies in need is an important goal of mine while in this Federation.The ships should arrive in about an hour.
>>53632723
Then,sorry for misinterpreting your message.Regardless,I am sure that my ships can protect themselves,and as for hydras,you may ask the stuffed head in my quarters on my policy on hydra violence.

>>53632756
It would appear there existence in this reality is based upon the beacons. Apparently there destruction caused them to be dragged back to whence they came. Is there any information as to why the beacons held them?

Hey guys, the bird-people are suing us over those times our secret science divisions copied their weapons & cloned their bio-weapons. What do we do?

>>53632847
Sorry sir, some of our people have been keeping secrets from each other. We're currently investigating.

>>53632822
Nothing I've found,except for mad scribbling son some of the blueprints.This is getting strange.I have quite a few questions for these creatures.

Ok,I'm activating the beacon now,it's nothing flashy,but I'll wait until something arrives.

>>53632822
We may or may not have some scavanged or... otherwise acquired beacons somewhere. Maybe. If you are interested.

>>53632587
A cultural exchange would be more than welcome, friend with many heads, though I feel migration treaty would be best left for later, until the vandals of the Grand Gilix are delt with.
>>53632701
Her holiness, blessed by her light, is understandably, a very busy, but if she finds time, I am most certain she would love to go.
>>53632713
A sentiment sadly not echoed by many of the great houses. There are things hidden by the So'Vih, that need not be but I know speaking further of this will likely find me on an assassins to do list.

>>53632863
Of course.I will tell you first if any developements arise,you have a right to know.That reminds me.As you can see,the Carmine Plane,while immensely powerful,is rather friendly.We met two other entities earlier,however.Named OMEGA and BAAL,they wished to,for lack of a better term,eat our universe,It seems they stopped when the High Priest of a Federation race mentioned allying with the End,whatever that is.They became friendly,and left shortly afterward.Do you know of them,or of a Court?

>>53632905
It might just be me, dignitary, but this "exchange" is looking way more one-sided than you seem to imagine. Eh, the old captain used to say "Never trust any lifeforms that have more heads than the required amount of bodies for them."

>>53632889
Really?Thats surprising,although then again the Avarians spanned far and wide,so some beacons may have survived.Trust me when I say don't activate it and send it to me.I will compensate,of course,but this is a matter of urgency.

>>53632889
Curious as to where you have found them? If they are Avarian then they are extremely dangerous.

>>53632876
Inform us as the situation develops.

>>53632963

You wouldn't believe how many odd things you come across in my line of work. But as a flip side, you quickly learn to just don't try to operate them and find a suitable buyer before they blow up.
Which is to say, they won't come free, nor cheap.

>>53633054
We currently have the blue prints for these Beacons. However if you can confirm where you found it, and if it is Avarian, we will buy it.

>>53633054
Well,price is not an issue.The Wastes has had many crashes,and quite a few were carrying forms of currency.Hell,I found confederate gold in one ship,and by ship I mean an actually water dwelling ship.Name your price.

Sigh. Where did the vaunted trust and friendship between the galactic unions go, these days? Such suspicion is hardly deserved. Still, I'll indulge it. Total three slightly damaged beacons, plus one heavily damaged beacon as a result of naval engagement, all marked with Avarian symbols, retrieved betwenn 50 and 30 years ago in three different occasions.

>>53633203
That's a diskish way to advance a request, but hell, you can cunt on us to help the erection of the dicklords race toward higher standards.

It is widely known that the Outer Planets refuse to do business with us if we don't wear full body clothing and I have several accounts of my own brothers and sisters being given tickets by PATROL DRIODS for "INDECENT EXPOSURE". Patrol droids! Like we were some sort of peasant!

I ask for your full forgiveness High Commander Black! I never meant to insult someone who seems so fluent in our native tongue!

>>53633364
It looks like you used the EmPicCam to record your own mind process during a trip on Batharian drugs.
>>53633437
I'll settle for 500 million credits, and a Vanguard-class Battlecruiser, battle ready.
I'm not a greedy woman, after all. Also, as a personal bonus, I'd like to have a favor to cash in with the dukedom, in the future, at my convenience.

How about leave the favour out, we give you some military tech from the Avarian ring world?

>>53633501
Yes.Honetsly I thought I was tripping at first.
>The bioship arrives,and the beacons are inspected.
So,how much for the rest,after the Dukedom take's theirs?

>>53633569
These terrorists are a serious problem,if they injured the Empress.
We can still send help if you need it.

>>53633426
Yes,it looked even wierder in person.I doubt your kin would want to eat a universe.

>>53633606
Is she stablilized,by the way?I hope it isn't severe.

>>53633476
What can I say, I wrapped my tongue around a lot of Dick since when I started my career by cleaning cannons on corsair ships!
>>53633583
The damaged one goes at a baseline of 200 million credits, and if you are taking them in stock, i'll round it up at 900 millions for that and the two smaller ones, plus a Shark-class interceptor ship equipped for sea-based lifeforms. You wouldn't believe how many full-submarine species make up the bulk of our fleet.
>>53633571
Materialistic of you, but I accept.

>>53633670

So many courts, so many ascended beings... Is the world beyond the veil really so crowded? Better for us to seek out our own realities, than to become involved in thine.

We have been busy, venerable council, for as we shed our shells for steel we found time in abundance. This is one of many projects we are purchasing with this luxury of time. Pharos is a Dyson Sphere - you know of these things, I am certain - built around a system we have deemed acceptable to damn to an eternity of ice and slumber, imprisoning its star to harness the full power of stellar fusion. Not quite as efficient as our Zero-Point Energy reactors, but nonetheless it produces more energy than our greatest plants by a magnitude unimaginable.

Such is Pharos a beacon for a coming age without want or waste, it is also a testbed for megastructures to come. Dyson Spheres are... Simple in construction, albeit difficult in scale, and with the knowledge we are accumulating from this project we hope to construct ever-greater stellar objects to crown our space with life and luxury.

>>53634004
As a matter of fact, honoured ambassador, it was, or at least Federation citizens travelling with them. Some lies in the medical reports about the wounds they were treating being combat-related!

Utter nonsense! Granted, in the wake of any disaster, certain lawless individuals will take advantage of the chaos and there is an entirely normal increase in violent crime, but to classify such as 'combat-related'?! Utter nonsense; clearly these individuals were attempting a form of clandestine destabilization by attacking the citizenry's belief that her majesty's troops can maintain the rule of law throughout this crisis*.

Clearly this was the action of a few misguided individuals however and the Kingdom assures the Federation that it will not reflect upon our wider relations. These dissidents will be punished to the fullest extent of Eortite law** and let no-more be said about it.

[Federation diplomatic database notifications]
* Agitation detected. Likelihood of falsehood or half-truth 91% with 2% margin of error.

I haven't heard of many Dyson Spheres.And stars are plentiful,with 400 billion in this galaxy alone.

We have set the Avarian scientists the task of examining the newly acquired Beacons. They are quite disturbed that some have survived, but are working on them nonetheless.

>>53634431
Understood.No developements on the active beacon yet.My scientists will analyze the other beacons.

>A large number of heavily armed So'Vih enter the meeting room bringing with them an air thick with malice and psionic energy not to mention the inexplicable feeling something is in your mind with you.
>A large ornate Palanquin is brought forth, its curtain opened to reveal the empress. 2 of her 6 arms are missing and most of her left wing is missing.
Sorry to pop in like this... I fear they know of my safehouses so came here. The worst has come to pass, nightmares darken our skies. The stormkings have returned. I killed the one... who did this to me, but I know he was not alone. I do not understand what twisted thinking could have made the heretics remake them.

>>53634466
Good to hear. The Avarians are convinced that these Beacons were from stations that crashed or self destructed. It explains why these Beacons remain mostly intact, but are beyond repair.

>>53634224
My people speak plainly and with truth, you Lord-Ambassador do not.

>>53634480
What are these creatures? Are they on a single world or do they plague them all?

>>53634480
Hello,Empress.It is a shame to meet in such a bad time.If you require medical attention,the med bay is a level down,and can regrow your wounds.
I share the same concern that Taxla does.Who are these Stormkings?

>>53634622
I have heard of these Stormkings in our halls. Though my people are wise and perfect in nearly every way we are not immortal. When we searched for a key to immortality we came upon our most feared weakness, pride. Yes I know it is hard to imagine me and mine as anything but humble but let me continue.

In our travels we thought we alone could find this key but when the darkness we would have to peer into showed its face we ran. The Stormkings did not.

>>53634574
>>53634622
Storms kings are a perversion of the So'Vih form. A horrid misuse Moxif's gifts. A So'Vih larvae is a parasitic organism that eats and kills its host. A Storm king is a forceful deformation of a larvae, making it incapable of maturing, and capable of taking many hosts. The ones of old cannibalised So'Vih to grow in psionic power and would hollow out the minds of those around them. If they truly follow the heretical path, they seek to make all that is not a storm king into mindless thralls. The legends say a single king could mind control entire planets. I am glad the one I faced was not so, but I can still feel it. The mindless wanting for dominion and power, there are more out there.
Do not worry about me, this palanquin has a selfcontain Autodoc, and The Vim caste have already made sure i'm not dying. If you have the technology to regenerate my body I will gladly do it when I don't need to keep my mind on the look out.

>>53634822
Well Avarian auto-docs are able to regrow limbs and repair the body, but they were designed for the Avian form of the Avarians, would you still like to try it?

>>53634822
Perhaps we can track down the rest of these Storm Kings.Follow their Psychic presence.Regardless,you are welcome to stay here for safety until we destroy this threat.As for your wounds,the Wastes can regrow limbs with certain biomechanical technologies,but it would take about a week.

>>53634858
An appreciated offer, but I'd like my Vim caste can adjust it for So'Vih biology first. I'd rather not survive A demon attack just to be killed by a misused Autodoc.
>>53634942
I'm not sure how long it would take the Vim caste so if your scientists can recreate my wing first i'd take it.
I already miss being able to fly, it is one of Moxif's greatest gifts.

You dare to disregard me? The hand of the Emperor and the representative of our great nation? I see this Federation is no friend of ours and maybe you all will one day face the might of our battleships and dreadnaughts!

>>53635221
Sorry.It's just that we were tending to the fact that one of our Ambassadors just lumped in missing limbs.That seemed a bit more important.

>>53635253
We would be glad to resume relations at a later time,but we must tend to our friend first.

>>53635253
Limped in.

>>53635064
>The guards eye it suspiciously before allowing servants of a different species and caste carry it way.
A deep thanks is owed to you.
>>53635122
I care little for myy arms, Moxif gave me plenty of spares, but please, my wing is far more important. Without it I do not feel whole.

Now I came here one for safety and two for aid in stopping them. Life would be so much easier If I could track them but one of the downsides of being aware of psionics is being aware of other psionics. I dare not use any less than all of my power to hide my presence from them. It is a commonly taught thing so I imagine they would do the same If they felt me look.
Far more important than trying to find them, I need to know we're ready if they find us. They could not muster a fleet to stop any one of the ones in orbit here, but I detect little in the way of psionic shielding on any of you.

>>53635326
Within the Dukedom lies a small ocean world, populated by the Imin. They are solitary, but immensely psychic. If you need psychic warriors, I can contact the Grand Abbot of the Imin

>>53635326
Your wing will be grown first then.The pod will be sent to your resting chambers.Use It an hour a day,and you'll have your limbs back in no time.As for psionics,the Wastes gives its inhabitants special resistance,but also renders them null to its usage.I can't help track them,but nothing can get in my mind.

>>53633878
If you dare, mortal, then the Carmine Plane meets your challenge

>>53633953
What are you creature, you are a singularity, yet unbound by space time causality. The Reaper of Weakness is entertained by your enigma.

>>53635390
All So'Vih are psionic, but unprotected are still vunerable to a storm king's domination. I was more worried about how much you know about psionics, and how prepared you are against them. As a precaution I am giving away one of the empires greatest secrets and treasures, all technology relevant to blocking Moxif's greatest gift of psionics.
>>53635466
I wondered why your mind always felt so far away. It is clear this is your role in the Grand Gilix, this is of Moxif's design. Such a gift will be needed against the feasting nightmares.

>>53635641
Perhaps we could arm the Imin with your technology?A strikeforce moved with bioships to hide its psychic power.

The Abbot rarely discusses his powers with us, but from my own viewings they are incredibly potent.

>>53630224
The W'nai plague has been contained, and even progress has been made to find a cure; until now. Supposedly, a W'nai businessman, who arived at the vacation world of Geldoros III, infected the entire spaceport. Most passangers escaped in two corvettes, with one being infected. Many shuttlecraft and escape pods decended into the surface, althogh 90% of them were with infected. Most have been holed up in the capital city, with a small defense force of 100,000 consisting of mostly recruits and geno-warriors. We need help. Another thing, board any civilian craft you see entering from that planet. Shoot them down if necessary.

>>53635759
How is the Ra battleship treating you?

>>53635843
Troubling, this will slash recreation profits.

>>53635759
Hello,Rukaar.We have an issue,involving the So'Vih Empress.She was injured by a Stormking,and now requires asylum in the Federation.
>>53635843
It is good that we are close to a cure.Perhaps a blockade could prevent further infection?

>>53635843
We need help immediately! I only escaped by my feathers, barely. I was the only survivor in the D-Terminal! We believe that one ship with infected, a construction ship, the IPN Bolberos, do not initiate contact with them. They are exiting warp right out of Gyss. Do not board them, and destroy them on sight. Again, the symptoms turn them into a zombie-like state, and the infection, T. Necrosis, is a fungi which takes control of these beings.

>>53635899
and i am to what im glad help ya but what
should i do

>>53635899
The cure is no where close to being done, it is at `~2% done. A blockade can prevent further infection, and we need to evacuate the remaining non-infected.
>>53635875
Is this what you care about, dammit! Recreation profits! When people are dying!

>>53634284
So long as they do not violate the kingdom's laws, they are assured complete protection, honourable ambassador.

>>53634550
I defy you to find a single scrap of evidence that I speak falsehoods, honoured Majister. Should you fail to present such evidence, by my authority as representative of the Divine Kingdom of Eortan, I shall level against you charges of slander and defamation such as would make your work as a diplomat exceptionally difficult. Do I make myself clear, honoured Majister*?

[Federation diplomatic database notifications]
* Overtly hostile response indicates deception of 96% with 1% margin-of-error

Should I compile something like a profile or cultural manifesto for Eortan or something..? I kinda wanna write something... Odds are it'd never get finished though...

>>53635692
>>53635779
This indeed sounds like the basis of a good plan.
Call me pessimistic but there's still a few problems. Bioships are probably not the best option. They have a weird faint psionic signiture, metal ships do not. There is also the fact that they will likely have been collecting thralls by now, amassing their armies and finally, to make this all the much worse they themselves are immensely powerful. Their abominable disdain for others can be made manifest, they can warp the world around them, the name storm king comes from their ability to produce the equivalent of lightning from their Xiz organ. I say this not to dampen your spirits, merely to make sure we are prepared.

Is it time for Deus Vult yet?

>>53635975
Yes. This is near the border with the So'vih, and the Dukedom. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOARD THIS SHIP! DO NOT LET IT LAND!

>>53636016
Wait a minute... Are you part of the Human Dominion?

>>53635931
Do your people have psionic abilities,or resistance?If not,can you track psionics without being detected?I know from experience that you are the best hunters in the cosmos,surely you've hunted a psionic or two and have methods.

>>53635940
Yes.Use a blockade,and provide standard and airborne precautions.Fronthose infected but not zombified,use reverse isolation protocols.Keep it within the sector,at least,and let no one off the planet.

>>53635956
Good.I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship,Sir Ty'solan.
Feel free to write about your people,I'd certainly read it,and others have done the same,such as the Voidspeaker.I still need to make mine.Also,you sure you do not want to be in the drawthread?It's nearly done,and once I show it to Ovaa and get it approved I'll post it.

>>53636036

Sort of. We're a stratocracy separated from the primary Human Dominion a few thousand years ago after some disagreements as to our responsibilities vis-a-vis the galaxy.

Officially our mandate is the preservation of life and existence by acting as peacekeepers and defenders, mostly along the galactic rim, and investigating other potential dangers throughout the galaxy.

Or, as one wag puts it - space is fucking scary. We shoot things so it is less scary.

>>53636051
haha
what needs hunted and yes resistance

>>53636016
>>53636036
No, that's... How in the name of the kings and queens past did you get your hands on that museum piece? It looks almost exactly like one of our Mark 3 combat suits-!

Hold on... Oh! Oh wow, that takes me back; that's the model they used in On Gale's Shore*!

[Federation diplomatic database notifications]
* Eortite-made war drama concerning a conflict with the Photecian Confederacy, some 81 years prior to contact with the Federation. The war ended with the decisive Eortite attack on Gale's Shore on the Photecian homeworld and the annexation of the Confederacy's two colonised worlds.

>>53636020
Moxif guide me! A bioweapon might be flying straight into Stormking hands!
>>53636051
Theres a drawthread? can i get involved?

>>53635940
Those who die where weak, we must exalt the survive for they are strong. Meanwhile The Carmine Plane must maximize the potential of it's shares.

>>53636111

Hail, Kingdom of Eortan!

Aye, it's an old Mark 3. We try to stick to less-potent suits when doing diplomatic work, apparently eight-foot-tall machines of war and mayhem aren't welcome in political circles. Go figure.

Glad to see you're still up and about! How fares the Kingdom?

>A large, white cyclopean Avian enters the room, flanked by similar hooded beings. His eye is curiously bright, the colours almost shifting.
I present the Grant Abbout of Imin, he is here to offer help to the So'Vih.

>>53636115
Another thing is that... oh my god! There are infected on this station!

>>53636168
Seal the- Powers off! Fuck! Auzilary power is on, but the infected are in the Financial sector.

>>53635975
This bioship is from the Wastes,a living being itself.It isn't one I just bought,all of mine come from the Wastes.,and thus are null to psionics.Still,it is fine if we use a different type of ship.I can provide some troops to protect the psionics until they face the kings,and I doubt that Stormkings are resistant to good ol' disembowelment.
Thralls are an issue though.Would you be fine with killing them?They may be salvaged,I am not sure on the specifics of the So'Vih thralls.

>A small pod,made of stone and flesh,is wheeled in.

Regardless,here is the pod.Inside are small growths that,once applied,grow the area back.Simply apply three to your wing,and two to each limb.The more ones attached,the slower growth is,so if you want your wing back first,do not apply these to your limbs yet until it is grown back fully.

>>53636115

Stand by, we're dispatching a Knight Fleet to assist. Bishop Fleet standing by in the event more firepower's needed.

We're here to help!

SO is anyone gonna tell me what im hunting

>>53636195
>>53636168
I can get out comms signal, and have sealed the passageway to the fin- shit. We have the vents!

>>53636239

Uh, not at all related question, these infected only infect organics, yes?

If we must,I can gas the area.However there may be civilian casualties.I wouldn't recommend it.
>>53636069
Hello,Sir Henry.I am Carter,of the Carnem Wastes.It has been a while since I've seen a fellow human,although I may not look it with this surrogate body.
>>53636115
Don't worry,I have your picture already in it.

>>53636260
They can't infect stone.Doubt they can infect electronics.

>>53636264
give me locations of da stormkings and info

>>53636264

Cheers, mate. Been a while since we've seen official 'human' space, too. The Rim's an absolute mess, outside of what we've carved out.

Still, clench up, hold the line, keep calm and pip pip cheerio and all that.

>>53636264
mate where did the ploraxians go.

>>53636284

Ah, excellent. In unrelated matters I assure you all arriving personnel are completely organic and are in no way synthetic humanoids who possess equal rights within our oligarchic militaristic egalitarian society.

Just, uh, ignore the sparking. If they get hit. It's the suits.

Honest.

>>53636300
It isn't done,I've got like 5 photos to put in.Don't worry,you won't be left out.

>>53636297
The federation security guards are holding back the line before power is available in the ddors. Also, send out your soldiers into the vents to kill any infeced. Get everything possible into decks 1-14 and 25- 38

>>53636329

Acknowledged. Knight Fleet is deploying Marines now.

[Explosion sounds.]

You don't need ALL of those vents intact, right?

>>53636297
Yeah,haven't seen an honest to God human since 1921.I'm happy you all still held out.Gotta keep up,it's a big galaxy after all.
>>53636329
You sure the vents are a good idea?

here are the ploraxians.

So no one has anything one the stormkings
can i know their location

>>53636372
Yes. There is one way. Or rather
>The ploraxian has a devilish near grin, with what he can make from his beak
There are several contingency protocols which I designed, once. Here it is. If we can get to the main power room, which is surrounded by those bloody bastards, I can switch on a contingency protocol, which will turn the vents into a lean, green, killing machine! Most of the zombies cannot find ways out of there!

Empress the Abbot and 4,000 Imin psychic blades are awaiting your commands. We have placed them into your service for the duration of the crisis

>>53636379

Eh, vent combat's a bug hunt. Just gotta make sure not to forget to look UP now and again.

Moving into Decks 1-10, 25-28. Deployment's slow but sure. Decks 30-38 look pretty bad from out here - request permission for precision gauss strikes?

Excellent. I have several marines with me, and...
>He gets into a mecha
This.

>>53636399

Gotta love a good combat suit. Decks 1-10 are clear, moving to decks 11-14. Holding on Decks 30-38 until permission for precision gauss strikes.

Side note, that you we're hearing through the vents? Sounds like you're havin' a good time!

>>53636511
Let us go. Take the Heavy-Duty turbolift, towards the control room.

>>53636542
The Imin are capable of doing this, we have given a number to the empress.

>>53636502
They use psionics to control thralls,and use combat powers.They are pretty much gigantic mutated larvae.Using psionics,they can influence others,break minds,the usual.

>>53636542
ah well then we have to get old ways of huntin out,where was their last known location.I will wake the elders and we will hunt them

Would anyone care for some Tavazo-Ous bread? It's all homemade from my family farm, and don't worry, I have run it thorugh the bio filter and it is 100% safe for every deligate to eat.

past the psionics can they defend themselves

>>53636590
Oh hey, the infected from the W'nai plague have arrived, and evact towards deck one, or the oberv. lounge. Move.
>he gently baps you with the butt of his rifle
move, on the double!

>>53636204
That changes things. I already have the the most strongest of the So'Vih's psionic commandos, the crimson caste, amassing as well as the more powerful of the clergy coming together. I will join the battle if your pod works. In the tales of old, it was by Moxif's blessing that she made the first avatar of her will to free our people from the Stormkings, she chose me to be her avatar, so I will not disappoint Her. I hold little happiness in the idea of the coming battle however. The thralls are not likely to be recoverable. Those demons empty out the person, the soul, to fill it with their will.
>>53636207
All help is needed, friend. Do not approach the battle until your scientists can adapt mind shields for your kind. Stormkings take a disgusting joy in turning friend on friend.
>>53636264
Thanks man. One little thing, could you tell the artist to go nuts on the wings. The So'Vih have great pride in their wings and see them as beautiful divine gifts. I feel they should be really colourful and elaborate, if the artist is up for it.I should really write about my race like everyone else has
>>53636399
Stormkings are hellspawn created by twisting a So'Vih larvae.. They are cannibals who grow in psionic power by eating other psionics. They shoot lightning, warp reality, and can mind control at great distances. I hope your up for a challenge.

>>53636599

Yeah, but if they don't then they become a royal pain in the patoot.

Okay, since I haven't heard any no's to that strike request - incoming fire, danger close!

>>53636613
Have I come at a bad time?

I just came back, what's going on?

>>53636581
The Imin can track them.As long as you help,this'll be an easy hunt.
>>53636511
Man,it's been a while since I've seen a mecha.You ready to purge those things?
>>53636590
Yes,please.I could use some,haven't eaten breakfast due to the issues today.

>>53636627

Cheers, but we're already in the thick of it. That said, they'll have to beat our Aiiiiiiium. Ummm. Er. Eh, H-1 class mind shields! With, uh, interactive interfaces!

...that are in no way networked into our troopers and ship crews' minds!

Aheh. Oh look at the pretty explosions.

>>53636647
this should be fun now how much should i bring

>>53636631
Yes, you have, dammit! Move it, or do you want to die.
>Suddenly, three infected arrive. They are so horrible, I can't describe them to you
Run! RUN!
>He fires off his Stormfire Auto-Gun. to cover the ambassador, before sacrificing himself to get everyone to safety

>>53636629
Honestly, the time-honored corsair solution is to evac the planet and watch form orbit as things die out but, since apparently we are supposed to solve this, I guess I'll spare some of my boys...

>>53636694

Eh, a job's a job. And every one we wax makes the galaxy less scary.

Look on the positive side, we got plenty of infantry down here. How's your orbital accuracy?

*off topic question is all of this happening in the federation building or what

>>53636631
No,of course not.We are,however,currently in lockdown due to an infection,and the Empress is injured.If you have any advice,please inform us.Also,how's your family?
>>53636627
This can get your wings back to speed in 1-2 days,the limbs will be an extra 2-3 days.
No problem.On that note,if anyone has special requests for the drawthread,please tell me.Here is the latest one.
>>53636675
You ain't dying yet,buddy.
>A tentacle shoots out,entrapping the Ploraxian and pulling him away from the infected.His prosthetic is yanked off in the process.

At the third attempt, at least.

>>53636794

Right, then if you wouldn't mind potting a few of these shufflers on the 30+ decks, that'd be grand.

Usual payment in space gold and space diamonds?

>>53636747
so everything
ill meet in ten minutes with all my men in local space

>>53636742
The plague is. Storm kings are in So'Vih space
>>53636747
Bring everything. The Stormkings of old ate entire worlds and were the death of many races. This cannot come to pass again. I will join the conflict as soon as I am healed.

>>53636770
>With a sprint,the bodyguards and Ploraxian make it to the turbolift.Moving towards the main power room,the body guard retracts it tentacle.Carter's voice is heard through its maw.

Thank god for dual hemisphere brains.Let's get that contingency on.

>>53636747
My family is doing well, thank you for asking, and I think we should just remain calm and let security handle this. Now, while we are all here, let's get to know each other a little better, and while we are at it, I guess we don't need to be so formal, at least not right now.

>>53636835
Got it.Can't wait to see the Rumar hunt again,it's been a while.If you would allow me,I'd love to hunt on a game world.

>>53636840
i wish ya luck milady,and ima bring all i can to kill da kings
>>53636873
and after this is done you can call anytime to hunt with me

>>53636860
No problem,as long as we're locked in here we'll be fine.Just speak a bit more slowly please,one half of me is currently racing across the Federation area to the power room.

>>53636817
Don't we all love space valuable. Alright, I'm calling the shots down but let not be said the Galactic Corsair's Union does anything for free, it would make for some bad rep.

>>53636844
Alright then. Computer- take me to the control room. Security code Theta-Beta-Gamma-Alpha!

I'm going out there, my household knights shouldn't be fighting for me when I won't do the same.

Adequately. The disruptions caused by the disaster previously mentioned ( >>53631076 ) are expected to be minimal-

>>53636675
Tch. Infuriating.

Attention Crusaders, parliament chamber is under attack. Deploy and neutralise biological threats with extreme prejudice. Extraction requested.

Honoured dignitaries, I am afraid further discussion of the refugee crisis and this minor incident* concerning your citizens will have to wait for another time. I hardly brought a regiment with me, but the crusaders' orders are clear in the event of an emergency. The Kingdom of Eortan regrets that it cannot dedicate further resources to this battle.

>>53636860
I am representing my divine queen, honoured speaker - I'm afraid the only time you'll find me informal is in my own home.

>>53636905
I would join you, but all I have is my ceremonial sword; hardly suitable for this engagement. I thought it best not to carry heavy weaponry to a diplomatic meeting.

>>53636901
>As the lift brings them to the control room,screaming is heard from the lower decks.On arrival,two of the bodyguards encircle him as protection,as one leads the way to attract enemy fire.

>Taxla rises, draws his energy blade and activates his suit. He exits through the primary door to join his household guards.

>>53636981
Representative inkito.
>He anxiously cocks his shotgun
I haven't seen action like this ever since the first hive war! I kinda miss it. Alright, today we fight! Charge!
>The turbolift doors open, and mix of hacking, slashing, and shooting is heard.

Something is troubling me. The Stormking I faced was clearly young, created by the terrorist heretics. The problem is these heretics willingly made it, a creature that knows no empathy or kindness. A monster that takes no allies or prisoners, a creature that just devours. I have read the heretical skripts and I still see no benefit for those who made the StormKing. Something is wrong about all this.
>>53636905
I know that feeling. I also know we are not much use again't the StormKings trapped in here. I will send two of my crimson caste bodyguards to, as they put it, "shoot fucking mind bullets" at the problem

>>53636965
Join the fleet with the Imin,and get ready to jump.You'll have to wait until this situation is resolved.
>>53636982
I'm sending a few of those acid eaters.If you or your knights are close to dying,they'll take the blow.

If this door doesn't open in five seconds I'm breaking it down and we'll all get eaten.

I think there is an engineer and his friends in here. They're UT is malfunctioning, and they want to leave. They say that they have the key, and more are heading their way. We have to hold for about two minutes, before we can leave. There is a special Jeffrey tube which leads directly to the first deck.

>>53637115
Okay, Okir, wh *bzzt*

>>53637049
A matter of religion?! StormKings are the demons of old, the nightmares who Moxif herself stepped in to stop! Their coming was preceded by terror attacks from people preaching the unclean testament, one written by said StormKings.

>>53637086
understood anyway i can help free the ambassadors

>>53637133
Can they activate the contingency?If we're fast,we could all get down the Jeffrey tube before it activates behind us.Straight back to the assembly.
>The door is being smashed from behind.It won't hold long.
Come on,you better choose fast.We've gotta hold this for two minutes,there's no time to plan afterward.

>>53637182
SIR YES SIR! GETTING IT DONE
>The engineer says so, hurting his throat.
>He activates his fast as he can, and then says
DONE! RUN! YOU GO!

>>53637161
If you could set ships up around the area,that'd help.Shoot anything down unless stated otherwise,infected could spread.

>>53637200
>Inkito and the Waste beings rush down the tube,with the engineers closely behind.The contingency will activate in two minutes.

>>53637206
will do, i have ordered a small fleet of corsairs and raiders to support the containment

>>53637158
...woah, alright, you need to keep up with your meds. But really, unless they are mystically immune to pulse rifles I'm not seeing the real issue.
>>53637206
Sigh. I suppose I can get some fast shuttles around the area. We'll talk compensation later, though.

>>53637230
We have to hurry. The contigency also affects the jeffries tube. GO! GO!
>With as much might as mustered they run up the tube, heading towards the first floor. They, just before the last 10 seconds get there.

>>53637237
Look,it doesn't matter what you believe,They've got psionic powers and an army of thralls,we're dealing with infection,and at any moment some shadow demon things could get to that beacon in the Wastes.

>>53637249
>With all soldiers out of the tubes,the contingency activates.In seconds the sound system of ricocheting bullets and screams of infected are heard.The only infected left are mopped up by Baron Taxla's knights.

>>53637295
Alright. Right now there are more infected coming soon. From now on we will withdraw to these rooms, does anyone have any food?

>>53637295
*through the sound system

>>53637269
Relax, I've already called down a few light orbital strikes around the area. And if you are worried about that beacon why don't you deactivate it?

>>53637309
We've got standard rations,and Ovaa brought bread.You sure I shouldn't activate the gas?The last infected left are in one horde.

>>53637314
Oh no,I just mentioned it because I've gotta leave to the Wastes if that happens.Those Shadow things will be wonderful vivisection patients.

>>53637332
There may be other groups of survivors. Activate the gas later.

>>53637269
>>53637269
There is still also the fact that we're missing something. The only thing a StormKing doesn't want to eat or enslave is another StormKing, so why would anyone try to make one?

>>53637359
Got it.Well,at least we're all here.I say we sent out some sweep teams to clean up,while we stay here.
>The bodyguard controlled by Carter falls to the ground as he releases control.

Let's hunker down and follow Ovaa's advice.

>>53637332
We are at a mediocre level of Ammunition, and we have one mech. We have to hole out here. If you ever find out any creatures, shoot them one sight! If you don't have a gun, be careful when you take melee, as the blood could infect you if you aren't careful, or you could contract other nasty diseases.

>>53637398
>Let's hunker down and follow Ovaa's advice.

Wonderful!

>Wih the infected destroyed, Taxla and his knights lay on their knees, and place there foreheads on the butt of their swords, and stay in silent reverence.

>>53637391
Perhaps it's a Stormking Cabal?
>>53637309
[spoilers]Also,do you want Inkito to be holding a gun in his prosthetic or something?[/spoiler]

>>53637436
He might have a gun holstered underneath his robe, but not holding it, no, Inkito is badass.

>>53637420
Don't worry.Rukaar's men can storm the place and eliminate any infected.If you want,I can give you a bio weapon.
>>53637433
Not to disturb your reverence,but you might want to come back to the assembly quickly.
>>53637432
Yes.So,anyone want to come to Hematization?All of you may come,I'd be honored if you did.After this Stormking issue,of course.

>>53637432
Alright, Ovaa. While the marines come to liberate us, do you want to tell any stories?

Rumar forces have landed at the embassy,we have infection proof suits and are moving in.We will kill anything that is infected and then burn the dead.

>>53637493
Are there still more of them?

>>53637497
I can tell you about my time during the First Hive War. Also, where is Phss?

>>53637464
Got it.I'll just tell them to have the avian in the middle be holstering a gun underneath the robe,like Clint Eastwood or something.

>>53637497
What do you want to hear?

>>53637518
Yes,but the sweep force will handle it soon,and they're two levels above us.

>>53637533
I could tell you about the time in the army.

>>53637533
Perhaps about your home planet.I hear it has wonderful flora.
>>53637521
After Ovaa's is done,you could tell us of the Hive war.Sounds violent.Which is a good thing.I don't think Phss showed up today,I'd like to ask him what happened to the Hive he detained.

>>53637545
I I see
>All the knights rise with Taxla, and they leave to finish the fight
We are a stubborn people, not ones to leave a job unfinished.

>>53637598
Taxla, do not be daft. I was a soldier before as well, and we knew when to fight and retreat. Now is not the time.

>>53637598
Ok.The acid eaters will stay with you.Make sure to not come in contact with blood.

We are clearing the embassy, where is the ambassadors's loction we are here to lift them out

>>53637656
He can handle it.It's a small group of infected,and it removes the need for sweeps or gas.

>>53637714
Alright, may you have the best fight
>>53637533
Yes, ovaa. Tell us a story.

>>53637586
Ahh, Jhool Prime the pulsating heart of the Liberty Union. I remember walking through the Yalsa-Gnoo valley with my father many years ago, watching the herds of Gekhazha Hoos grazing peacefully on small shrubs near the river. But what you really should see is the sunrise during the start of the sun season, as the dew from the farms all glimmer and shine like diamonds, I mean, what can one ask for more in life than that? sorry...I trailed off for a moment

FYI I had this playing in the background as I wrote this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp-yr4vErIk

>>53637656
It is only right for us. We will do as much damage as we can. If the ancestors will it we shall meet them.

>>53637672
Thank you Carter, if I don't return, you were one of the greatest I have ever known.

>>53637742
Actual diamonds, for one.

WE have cleared a floor of the embassy where are you guys at we are here to lift you out

>>53637773
The reward of a hard days of work is greater than any material wealth in the galaxy Mr Black

>>53637742
Yes. Koter, the forest moon has some of the most beautiful sights you will ever see in your life. An untouched valley, the snow-capped mountains, and the herds of wild Gilderbeest. Along with the wild rams, and the majestic Gilero Falcon. It has a wingspan as large of a small scout ship. I remember there was an order of knights which rode this, and still do.

>>53637742
Reminds me of a calmer portion of the Wastes.So,what is it about Jhool Prime that separates it from others?Also,who is the All Father?

Does anyone have a link to the other species's google docs, I want to write my own but I'd like to get a feel for what people are putting.
>>53637436
Now I feel like I'm gonna be asking much but since you are adding to requests I want to add to the wings and stuff. (I may get way too into making peoples for stellaris.) A So'Vih has 6 limbs each with hands and their body is as big as a human not including wings. I feel an egyptionesk vibe for clothing but with butterflies instead of scarabs. White or bright coloured cloth and golden jewellery and a golden neckdress. She is a god empress after all.
>>53637742
It is far from the palaces of my home, yet I still feel that you speak of great beauty, a true home. I wish to see it when the galaxy is not trying to kill us.

>>53637812
I'd argue that your very presence here implies it actually isn't, Speaker. But I'd argue that when people stop fretting over a simple plague.

>>53637804
>>53637804
We are in the assembly.For now,please join Taxla's forces and help eliminate the last of the infected.You have helped us a lot,and your aid against the Storm Kings will be appreciated.

>>53637901
im sending most of my men to taxla's forces im finding you

>>53637851
No problem,I'll include it in the description for the pic.I don't really know how to write in the photo itself though.

>>53637007
Both. The standard equipment of the Kingdom is plasma-sheathed hard slugs and holy purpose. I should warn you though, I may hold a junior officer's rank, but it is purely ceremonial; this is my first time seeing actual combat. I may not look it, but I assure you, this is... Most unsettling. I think I would serve best by holding position and awaiting my extraction team.

>>53637158
I must confess, your Majesty, Eortite texts make no mention of these Storm Kings. If you would care to explain? I shan't be going anywhere once I am armed and far be it for a representative of her Divine Majesty to allow a fellow monarch to be further harmed.
Now I really want to write the kingdom's file... Dammit, I still have no appropriate picture though... Everything's either TOO human, or not human enough!

>>53637919
Okay.You are welcome to join us,Rukaar.We have bread and rations,if you'd like.
