Okay (even though I don't believe in phycics (sp?)). Captain Carnotaur goes to Oasa and hails him, asking if he would allow him to join the Voinians and keep Daedalus off his back.

To Carnotour:
You don't know that I plan on attacking the Agdzari. I might change my mind anyway so don't make too many assumptions.
Also I don't know how you say I always win. We both lost at F-25. I lost every ship I owned defending the fake dreadnaught and the captive. My empire is in ruins, although I am trying to rebuild the North Tip which you don't know about. My biggest victory was defending the Dreadnaught and I lost everything doing it.

In orbit, impatiently waiting for that lazy bum Rooster to read the boards and reply, Oasa receives a hail from Carno. "Ah, you are just the man I am looking for. We shall have a three man conference as soon as Rooster shows up. Oasa's planet provided the extra motivation for an amazed Carno to hang around for a while...

This is my last post for the night. Also, Carnotaur, don't think that I am out to get you. I am not going to suddenly make a fleet appear out of thin air to destroy you. I was kind of hoping you would join the Corocians, but it is up to you and Oasa.
--------------------
While Daedalus was busy seeing to the defenses of Voinia and managing to scrape up 5 cruisers and 8 frigates, Apollo's Wing landed at F-25. A mysterious black cloaked figure left the ship and entered the base. No one was with him. A few hours later, shuttles bearing North Tip Renegade markings entered the system and also proceeded to the base. Following these, small miranu transports, (the small green ones) also landed on the planet. However these ships landed on the otherside at a different compound.

You sure did sound like you would a few posts back when you called me "Carnotaur the hated".
-------------------
Carnotaur goes over to Oasas ship in an Arada and tells Oasa that he wants the confrence done on one of his Igazras. He also states if he joins Oasa, he expects an apology from Daedalus for threatening to kill him when he acted under orders of the Azdgari Empire. Carnotaur furthurmore states that, if he does join Oasa, that Oasa and Daedalus must protect him from any vengeful Corocians. What does Oasa reply?
-------------------
Meanwhile, Intimidator decides that his first major act as president of the Azdgari Empire is too rebuild it into a major galaxy power. To do this he must aquire more planets. Intimidator starts to assemble a fleet of 100 Miranu Heavy Frieghters to be loaded up with supplies, colonists, soldiers, and the like to go out and colonize the Diurdir system, Grooz system, Gadzair system, and set up a station in Terapin and Apert systems.
Meanwhile Intimidator starts to work on building up the Azdgari fleet. With help from data transmitted by Carnotaur, Intimidator modifies the Azdgari warship to make its standard form a better fighting machine than even the Igazra. He also works out a deal between them and the Zachit so that the Azdgari could install Pursuit missiles on all their ships.
P.S. Just a note here, Intimidators actions are limited to Azdgari Empire space. Intimidator will not involve himself or the Azdgari Empire in any war with the Corocians.

On F-25, many traders and trader fleets came and went from the system. Suddenly F-25 had a big demand for metal and equipment. A shipyard was being constructed in orbit and many factories were nearing completion on on F-25's surface. Cities were becoming more numerous as Humans and Miranus came to live on the Earth like planet.
More scientist were arriving at the research facility and rumors were escaping of a new weapon. Some joked that it was found in the still famous Starwars movie.
2 fixed guns now guarded the entrance point into the system.

I was just thinking. We have a really good story here. I would be willing to compile it into a story and maybe even a plug-in.
I look forward to the BIG battle this weekend. Purhaps it should be the final battle and the end of the story. Tell me what you think. I don't see how it could progress much beyond this weekend, but we will see. If it is the end of the story we should allow character deaths.
-------------------
On F-25: Sir, we have made the breakthrough! By applying enough energy to bring the element Einsteinium to two ionization levels, the ionized atoms can be easily stabalized into short bursts. The burst would weaken slightly while passing through shields but enough of them would temporarily disable all systems on a ship. A constant stream would keep a ship disabled including shields for as long as the stream continued.
A black cloaked figure nods his approval at these words. "Excellent, see how light and compact you can make these systems. Prepare 50 of them for installation on warship turrets. You can install two of them on my ship.
-------------------
Meanwhile, on Voinia, Daedalus was able to bring the defense fleet up to 15 cruisers and 25 frigates.

Sorry i've been away. Actually, i believe everybody expected that i would compile the story. I'm not just raining on your idea, i've already begun and would appreciate being able to finish.
MODERATION: Too many neutrons. I'd accept 100 only if there are absolutely no other ships with the Malcontent, and 50 with only your noted fleet. Please restate your post and be realistic (i'm not being a spiteful Corocian, regulating the power based on advancements of time and your resources). And, you are approaching Earth i believe. Corocia, by religion, is a plane of existence in which the spirits live (Corocian heaven).
CONTINUATION: Rooster is already running from the lab to High Command Operations when he is called. He then stands on the Ops deck and waits for the transmission....

It is not fear that will destroy you, but the absence of it.

And then, on F-25, another cloaked figure approaches. "Hmmmm... Interesting design. I would like to have it," he says.
"Who are you!? How'd you get here!?" Asks the first cloaked figure.
"Who I am and how I got here are not important. I have a little bit of info, and money, that may make the time you spend listening to me worthwhile."
"Hmmmm, well then, what is it?"
The second cloaked figure goes to the computer consol and downloads some information. During that time the first cloaked figure notices the second ones hand. It was green, and it had long fingers. Azdgari? No. They couldn't get here without detection. Could they?
Suddenly, a design pops up on the screen. It is the miniaturized version of the new weapon. "How'd you do that?"
"How I did that is not important. What I want is. I want the weapon. In return I will give you 200 million credits. Don't ask where I got it, it's..."
"Not important. Got ya."
"Good. Now that we understand each other, here" and the cloaked figure hands the first one. The first cloaked figure then hands the second one the design of the weapon, which he calls the Ion Phase Pulse Beamer.
After getting the designs, the cloaked figure leaves. Once alone in a corridor, he looks over the designs. Then, he takes off his hood, and reveals: Captain Carnotaur. Carnotaur then leaves the base and goes out into a desert where his cloaked Igazra is landed. After getting into it, Carnotaur gets back to his other ships before anyone notices. Then, Carnotaur quickly builds a few of the Ion Phase Pulse Beamers and then installs them on his Azdgari warship and two Igazras.
"The Corocians will get a kick out of this," Carnotaur thinks to himself...

100 neutrons??? This is a friggin planet!!! I'll settle for 5,000.
---
Rooster, I have come here today to ask for an alliance. As you can see, I am quite capable of crushing you, but that is no longer my intent. I wish to destroy Intimidator's empire, and him, in it's entirety. Starting with his ship in orbit. He is a shady character, and should not be trusted. Look how many times he has crossed you! Long ago, he wronged my father and I wish revenge upon him. Will your empire join mine, and set aside its differences? I will offer miranu to you as a gesture of peace.
------------------
(url="http://"http://www.bigfurrydeal.com") bigfurrydeal! (/url)
MODERATION: Please tell me...in the 28 days that have passed since the beginning of the construction, how many neutrons of those 5,000 were built and installed per day? Your people would have to do both to 166 turrets per day in addition to the engine construction, hull, and the remaining parts of the ship...IF YOUR PEOPLE NEVER SLEPT! That's 7 turrets an hour, and one turret every 8 minutes. Hull for a moon the size to contain such an assembly would need an astronomical workforce and amount of time, in addition to the engines and the entire ship construction, screw to solder. All this during the construction of your fleets, etc. I will accept 700 turrets as long as each twenty tie into their own power source. This is final moderation and the weapons is the only part of the ship i am restricting further.
CONTINUATION: I will ask for a meeting with all included parties: Myself, You, Buba, Carno, AND Intimidator. Warsuits will be used. It will take place at the Durani Summit on Corocian Ursla. I await your reply.

It is not fear that will destroy you, but the absence of it.

roostersw, i look forward to the compilation.
-----------------
Carnotaur, I revoke your last post (I know I don't officially have the power to do this).
1.You can't control my character.
2.The meeting takes place in a top secret research facility.
I know that it is possible for rumors of a new weapon getting out, as I have posted and I can understand that the Agdzari would be interested in the weapon. I do not believe that you would have shown up at the exact time of the meeting or have that you would have been able to enter. I can see a team landing on the planet to try and steal a copy.
I would never have sold the weapon. Please remove disregard the post and think of some more creative means of obtaining it. Also since I am involved you should leave places for me to fill in the action like we have been doing throughout the whole story. In this case I did not leave a spot for anyone to enter the scene, it was to incease the depth of the story.

"Yes, we will have a summit. Miranu will be returned to you when I arrive at Ursla. Until then, do we have a temporary peace, rooster?"
------------------
(url="http://"http://www.bigfurrydeal.com") bigfurrydeal! (/url)
Rooster: "A ceasefire is made." He turns his head to General Dvorik behind him. Dvorik nods and quickly goes to the Comm Center to issue the command. Rooster was not deceiving Oasa, but there was no promise the ceasefire would last beyond the summit's close. Rooster then boarded a shuttle to the shipyards, where he boarded his revised heavy warship, the C.W.S. Zodiac. He brought it out of the atmosphere and entered the jumpstream toward Ursla. He knew there would be a large fleet there, as Ursla is one of Corocia's major military posts. However, this wasn't his reasoning for choice of the location...he liked the view. The Zodiac pulled out of jumpstream at Ursla, and almost instantly the Intimidator , ( INSERT OASAN SHIP OF CHOICE ), and the Carnotaur pulled into the system. All four ship moved toward the planet....
------------------
It is not fear that will destroy you, but the absence of it.
Oasa, with his entire fleet and the Malcontent entered the jumpstream towards Ursla. Oasa sent a transmission to Rooster, saying "tell the fleet I'm sure you've assembled in Ursla not to attack; we come in peace."
------------------
(url="http://"http://www.bigfurrydeal.com") bigfurrydeal! (/url)
Intimidator sent an encoded message to Carnotaur (In other words, I show you but your character doesn't know). "Is the Azdgari fleet ready to decloak?"
"Yes it is, Father," Carnotaur replied.
"Good. But I still don't see why we need them."
"Because Oasa said that he hated our guts. Don't worry. I don't think we'll need 'em if your as great a politician and diplomat you say you are."
Carnotaur and Intimidator land along with the other ships. As Oasa, Rooster, Buba (or is he gone?), Carnotaur, Intimidator, and Daedalus sit down at the meeting table (all wearing warsuits), Intimidator is the first to speak.
"To state my intentions, I wish all hostilities between the Azdgari Empire, under my command, and Oasans and Corocian Alliance to be halted. I do not wish to involve the Azdgari in a long and costly war with little reason as far as I see it. I also want to remind you even though my son Carnotaur wishes to join you, Oasa, and you, Daedalus, I must tell you that he is doing this of his own choosing. The Azdgari Empire is not commanding him nor helping him in any way other than giving him a few ships. I also want to tell you, Daedalus, that you are horribly mistaken. I didn't even know Oasa till I met him in battle. I don't know what "Wrong" I did to his family. I must also remind you, that I did have a twin, who died a while ago. You see, I'm older than I look. I'm 56, and my twin, well, he never had that good health. I must state again that I deny any wrongdoing to Oasa other than attacking him as the Azdgari Empire wished at that time."
Then, Carnotaur stood up. "I highly agree with my father. Now, to state my intentions, this is what I want to do: Simply join Oasa and help him. As my father stated, when I attacked you, Oasa, I was acting under strict orders from the Azdgari government. This time, now that I am, for a while at least, independent from the Azdgari Empire, and so I have no wish to double-cross you, Oasa, or Daedalus. I beg of you to believe that I mean what I say."

Very well. But I wish for the Azdgari empire to halt its expansion, for it has no right to colonize. And I must demand the systems of Mihal and Romit be returned to the Voinan empire. Will we have peace, Rooster and Carno?
------------------
(url="http://"http://www.bigfurrydeal.com") bigfurrydeal! (/url)
Rooster: "I believe the issue here is of protecting each leader's interests. Our war began as a fight to capture animals from a Corocian planet by the Oasans. Carnotaur and Intimidator initially believed protecting the Fuzzes was a just cause. However the war has escalated into nothing either nation can control or define. The Corocian empire is far from Azdgari interests and desires only peace. With due respect i must state the following evaluation: Daedalus, a mercenary, pox upon the quadrant and it's order. Oasa, an enterpreneur, striving to build a strong economy for the Voinians by any means. These powers and the way they conduct themselves is the Corocian's quarrel. And Oasa is to go as far as build an immense instrument of destruction to destroy the Corocians if they do not desire peace. I leave Intimidator to choose the ruling of the Corocians and Oasans."
