  • OoRP question.
    When exactly will the event take place? If the same as the Morning Doms Hunt, then I'll most probably be in.

  • 10 pm Servertime... around 6 am for me. Still, will set up an alarm clock then.

  • Oops, accidental dislike.
    Yes, it will be 6 am, edited my post above. Well, at least it's not 4 am :)

  • Interlude 3

    beeeep


    Dennzio Horatius Almany awoke with headakes. 'damn cardamine ...' comprehensibly he was seeking for stupefaction last night after he analyzed the received data of Sala_ed_Deen. 'if that is right, the Sentinels have found a way to eliminate the Dom'Kavash and the humans will loose access to the Inner Core Secter. Who knows what else will come from that?'

    beeeep


    "What?"
    "Sir, the Galaxy Ranger is here." Schulz replied via intracomm.
    "Damn, so quick!" 'Ragnarok, Ragnarok, the Galaxy Ranger's glory, will rock you, rock you down from any rusty lorry ...', the old song came to Dennzio's mind. 'Damn, i hate this ear candy. But hey, it is still the fastest ship in the known galaxy and its railgun is probably the last hope for the Dom'Kavash and for us.'
    "Tell him we meet for breakfast. In 30 minutes ... in the bar." "Th-The bar? S-Sir?" "YES! THE BAR, if you knew what i know, you would never stop drinking anymore!"


    30 minutes later ...


    "Danzel, nice to see you." Dennzio started friendly.
    "Good Mornevening boss" Danzel smiled the same ritually words as if he was the same newby guy when he entered the Dark Phoenix clan years ago. "You look awful. What happened?" he continued.
    ""Boss", huh? I'll never understand you, the Galaxy Rangers ... tell me what is it, that ..." "STOP asking these questions." Danzel interrupted Dennzio Horatius and continued "You know we are not allowed to talk about some certain things."
    "Yes exactly, and tell me, how can i trust you with all your secrets?" Dennzio asked.
    "Now tell me, how i can trust you with all your secrets?" Danzel replied quickly.
    "..."
    Dennzio looked flabbergasted ... lighted a Cardamine joint, inhalated deep ... and smiled "I'm still your boss, huh? Though, you must trust me."
    "Right, and i'm the Galaxy Ranger here and you have to trust me." ... smiling ... continuing: "And now what is the "small problem" you mentioned?"
    "OK. You know that LordRayden is our best IT-specialist." Dennzio started.
    "Right. And btw. where is my son? Wait ... don't tell me, he is your "small problem"!" Danzel got nervous.
    "I'm sorry to tell you that i sent him with Lt.-Cmdr. Tucker for a special job into the Inner Core Sector, where ..."
    "The Signal!" Danzel interrupted.
    "Probably. Our technicians still have to finally confirm. But to hitchhike an encrypted message on a Dom'Setek transmission is pretty much his signature. Yes, he's really good in his job."
    "Yes, my boy ..." Danzel smiled. Then he got severe: "Tell me what happened."


    ... to be continued ...

  • Interlude 4


    "Our technicians have gathered all available information provided by Salah_ed_Deen before the contact was lost. Some parts were missing but with the captured signal from the GR base in Styx the puzzle was nearly complete. Somehow a Coalition affiliated Virginia Class Liberty Dreadnought received the signal from Salah_ed_Deen as well and the commanding officer with call sign Ajay was so kind to provide all he got.
    All in all the following picture of the current situation in Celldra can be drawn.
    The Salah_ed_Deen went to Celldra to evaluate the results of our last mission, you know, where we have lost many good ships such as the (IOC)Osiris. The objective in that mission was to destroy the enemy's electronic warfare with a new virus. That was the reason why i sent LordRayden there, because he is the one who can best judge about the results. However, he found out, that the virus is still there, active, the electronic warfare devices don't work. Do you remember the strange lights in the north of Celldra?
    Well, they are not there anymore.
    That was the good news.
    And here is the bad one:
    While he analyzed the scanner signals, LordRayden found another radio transmission. Actually not really one signal. Because when he tried to trigger the direction from where the signal comes he had to realize that it comes from all around the Crydiss Cloud. Not only that, LordRayden had to reconfigure various devices to find out, that it was not simply ONE signal. It was ... it was a swarm of trillions of signals, emitted by ... i can't believe how stupid those aliens are ... emitted by self assembling nano robots equipped with artifial intelligence." Dennzio drank a glas of Rum and continued "You know what happened, when the humans experimented with that technology! A small planet with several million people was devastated. Where was that ... ah right, Theta Opsidiani. And we had luck that our engineers at that time were not able to equip those nanits with space drive capabilities. It is a dangerous technology! Artificial Intelligence has to get handled very carefully, it needs high moral and ethical standarts when teaching it to go the first steps. And now imagine nanits with AI and space drive capabilities teached by Savages or Warriors! I wonder how these stupid and aggressive aliens still exist ..." Dennzio sat down, shivering he grabbed for another Cardamine joint while he drank another glass of Rum.
    Dennzio's explanations let all blood leave Danzel's face ... "How can i help?" he asked after a minute.
    "You need to come with your Ragnarok, we need your Railgun. Aaannd ... contact your friends, the Dom'Kavash!" Dennzio said with frosty voice.
    "You fool, Dom'Kavash are nobody's friends and ..." "STOP THAT! I know very well about the relations between Dom'Kavash and the Galaxy Rangers."
    "H-how ... naah you are kidding" Danzel tried to smile.
    Dennzio said, obviously tired: "Am i? The first appearance of the Galaxy Rangers was shortly after our alliance with the Dom'Kavash. The GR-base was built in Styx, one of the most dangerous places for humans, but not for the Kavash, the creators of the there living Nomads. Many parts of Ragnarok's and Yggdrasil's technology is from Kavash, what explains their ridiculous high speed and firepower! You know the Galactic Law? Of course you know, your Bible! I always wondered what kind of law that is, as if it was made for a kind of super humans playing cute tiny characters in an artificial universe. So far from reality it always seemed to me. The Galactic Law was established after our alliance with the Kavash. Don't tell me, these are all just coincidences!"
    "Well ... somehow ... Boss, can you keep a secret?"


    ... to be continued ...


    Will |DP|denne keep this secret? Or will he just quit his job and make it like Shockwave and SolidNebula and move to a private moon far far away from all the mess of Sirius? If u want to know, switch in again when the next interlude is out there.


    and don't forget to vote for the best time u want to participate ;) (link)

    I do not need to explain what we have here. We need to help our allies, however, the Dom'Setek and the Sentinel are mounting a search-and-destroy operation in Celldra. They spread their fleet in Celldra system, which leaves them vulnerable for hit-and-run attacks. Not to mention, their supply lines in Venn and Pyrrdra are now vulnerable.
    The new threat is also a problem. It is a Grey Goo type weapon - or "Tiberium", as my assistant scout pilot insists. So far we know very little on that. It is unknown if that weapon is controlled by the Sentinel, but, and I quote said assistant,

    If this thing gets in the hands of Dom'Nepesh, Warriors, or even Dom'Kavash if I'm right about them, we're flakked, do you hear me? We are so flakked it's not even funny...


    Our mission for the upcoming Operation Flamestrike II is to perform simultaneous attacks at various directions.
    K-999 must attack the Dom'Setek supply lines in Venn. Act autonomously. (like always). Report anything unusual.
    K-795 must do the same in Pyrrdra.
    K-115 must keep running silent and be ready to attack any gaps we might have left.
    Finally, K-719 is not only tasked with removing or crippling Sentinel and Dom'Setek large ships scanning Celldra. It must use a new piece of equipment to perform a maneuver called "Lightning Strike" on a Sentinel station in order to recover any intel on new weapon or any orders Dom'Setek shove off to Sentinel.
    As a last word. Do not overdo it. Lest Dom'Setek will be ready for what's coming.

    Activated in Celldra system near the Repair Buoy. Clouds are viewed as high danger territory, besides, no need to bring the Seteks to our friends. Engaged passive radar search for searching battlegroups.
    First blip found and investigated, identified as Dom'Setek battlegroup; one Mothership and six cruisers. Engaged and destroyed, but they called in reinforcements, a Sentinel battlegroup. It also was engaged and destroyed and also called in another battlegroup. We managed to destroy the cruisers and heavily damage the battleship before a Dom'Setek gunboat wing chased us off.
    Headed to the target station, brought us to the teleporter range. Uncomfortably close to the station's guns. Thankfully Lightning Strike teams returned before the Baneblade lost half of its shield.
    Attached image:

    Continued patrol. Identified another blip as a Sentinel battlegroup, attacked and completely destroyed. Continued search.
    Another blip identified as a Sentinel battlegroup, attacked and wiped out.
    No more blips can be traced; Dom'Setek switched active radars off. Moving to the location of last known blip.
    Sentinel Battlegroup spotted at the location. Attacked and destroyed, but called in another Sentinel battlegroup. That battlegroup was crippled, but we didn't manage to finish the battleship off before Sentinel fighters appear.
    Returning to a repair buoy, going silent. Full report archived and ready to be sent as soon as we get out of ECM-covered area.
    Baneblade out.

  • Commodore Dredd, a.k.a: LordRaydenMK was currently working on a tinker toy while being stuck in the Salah_ed_deen, heard a loud noise in the Bridge of the war vassal. "What on earth is that damned noise?" He wandered over to the Bridge in time to see Liet. Tucker hastily chucking things around everywhere. "Ah good, I've been meaning to tell him something." LordRaydenMK thought to himself. He took big steps over to Lieu. Tucker and confronted him. "What the hell have you been doing for the past few weeks aside from losing us in a damned cloud with no repair crew! No Nothing!" Tucker seemed hurt. "I.. I was... I was just...." "I DON'T CARE FOR NO BLIMMING EXCUSES! YOU GOT US INTO THIS DAMNED MESS, AND I AM HERE TO GET US OUT!" Having enough of his Bullsh*t, I quickly put him in chains and heaved him into the Safety hold where we keep some equipment. I quickly locked the door and began thinking about what I did. "See, he took us out there with no help, no repairing, no nothing. However he knows how to pilot this damned ship." I thought for another few minutes until I get to the major question upon whether I need him or not. "Nah, I can fly this damned ship on my own. Where's the Accelerator?" I pushed a lever and according to my screen, I dumped a load of food rations. Preeetty much a month's worth of food incinerated and dumped out of the Chute.


    "Oh Sh*t!"

    I guess, this thread should be here: https://swat-portal.com/forum/…-Stories-and-Fan-Fiction/


    nope, this thread is meant to be for preparation and documentation of Inner Core missions/events :) and yes, it is also one looong story in the same time :thumbsup:

  • Project "SANRAI"


    Objectives

    1. Rescue Mission

    1a. Go to the last known Position of the Salah_ed_Deen in Celldra. It is the Jumpgate to Pyrddra. The Dark Phoenix Repair Ship Taqi_ad_Deen, we were able to oblige the best Engineers from the Deep Space Engineering Corporation, will assist the Fleet and once met with the Salah_ed_Deen these Engineers will care for all necessary Repairs.
    1b. On the Way to Salah_ed_Deen engage and destroy all Alien Capital Ships and Gunboats!
    1c. Alien Fighter Wings will be ignored unless they disrupt one of our Fleet. In this case only our Fighters will engage while our Capital Ships and the Repair Ship will continue the way to the next Repair Buoy or Waypoint where we will wait for the Fighters.


    2. Destroy all SANRAI Factories!
    Explanation: our Intelligence Group found the Sources for the self assembling Nano Robots with artificial Intelligence. As you can see in the attached pictures, the Sentinel Stations were equipped with new Modules. Different Drones, set by the Salah_ed_Deen, were able to scan the Stations and so we found out, that the Point of no Return (= the time when a critical Mass of SANRAIs was created) will be the 08.01.3017 at 03:47 a.m.. We've found 3 Sentinal Stations, means the following Sub-Objectives will be repeated 3times.
    2a. Since only Railguns can damage the shield of the Sentinel Stations, our Galaxy Ranger [GR]dented_ship will assist us. Our Calculations resulted in permanent Railgun shooting of at least 10 Minutes. Once interrupted we have to start again because the Shield will regenerate immediately.
    2b. The Rest of the Fleet has to protect the Galaxy Ranger at all Costs, he will be vulnerable while taking down the Stations Shields. We expect heavy Resistance!
    2c. When the Shields are down the whole Fleet will assist in Bombing the Stations: use all Missiles and Torpedoes (yes, also Battleship Torpedoes!) you can find in your Ships. Our Calculations show, that it takes several hours to completely destroy the stations. We won't have the time for that. But a heavy Bombing of at least 10 Minutes will cause enough Damages, that all Factory Modules and SANRAIs of one Station are destroyed.


    3. Return to Weth, alive!


    The Mission will be led by the private Flagship of Dennzio Horatius Almany: |DP|bsenne. Since the Dom'Kavash are busy with internal political Problems we were not able to get more Support from them. Only a few of their military Advisors will assist on the Bridge of the |DP|bsenne.


    Good Luck out there, may the Force be with You!
