Highly incorrect. The Azdgari captured those vessels. The time problem will be changed as I edit it. Also, this all didn't happen at once. Every was doing a bunch of stuff and so I made Carnotaur do all that while all of YOU were at killing each other WITHOUT waiting for me!!

Carnotaur then finds Buba brings him up to speed on what he has been doing. He also tells Buba that he is now willing to help the Corocian Alliance (Now that all the stuff he was doing for the Azdgari Empire is now all finished).

Then, he and Buba decide to work on a war plan for attacks against Daedalus and Oasa.

I think Roostersw needs to do some moderating. That is controlling Buba's character. Also, I don't think that Agdzari could capture pretty much he entire Igadra fleet. 70 ships is a lot of ships. I could see maybe 10.
Our fighting lasted for maybe a weak. Not enough time to break away from the Igadzra, severely hurt the Zidagar, capture the Igadzra fleet and build 140 Agdzari Warships. If you do have those warships, the Agdzari systems would be completely undefended.

Grrrrrrr...

The Azdgari broke away from the Igadzra FAR BEFORE ALL THAT!

Okay, I edit it again.....

Yes a guess I did control your character. If you didn't agree I probably would have found a friendly asteroid that happened to be floating by. It is up to you if you want to die or not.

Hey, Daedalus, is it just me or did YOU control Buba's character?

P.S. If you DID get sucked into a black hole, chances are you would both die. However, if the black hole is large enough, you might be able to survive. You see, the larger the black hole, the weaker it gets. Anyway, scientists have also theorized that black holes lead to white holes which spew out matter sucked up through a black hole, though this theory has not been proven. If it is true, Buba and Daedalus might end up in another galaxy, which wouldn't be good for the storyline, trust me. But then again, the question is: How would you get back? And also, scientists have only "Theorized" about White Holes.

Damn you Daedulus. I wanted to kill you once and foreall. Oh well, lets just say we did that little tractor beam thingy. Now I head off to places unknown with Rooster and Miranu.

------------------
"I'll get the brute squad!"
"I'm on the brute squad."

MODERATION: Carnotaur needs to cut down on his allocation of planets and the mass of the fleet going to Corocia. Please present it anew instead of merely editing. As long as Buba agrees, i see no reason to revoke the black hole post (i can see a black hole forming from the subspace disruption...nice touch!).

CONTINUATION: Soon, the Daemon Gara under Buba's command lands at Liat (the Corocian capitol). Rooster proudly replaces his Voinian prison suit with a Red and Black Corocian uniform. Buba then remembers to replace his Commander's insignia which he had been using with his rightful Lieutenant. Rooster: "Heh. And now to continue the chain of deranking with--" Buba also realizes why Rooster stops. Buba: "With Miranu." Rooster: "There's no way we can go back now. We'll have to make a deal. Buba, contact Minister Corrusa and make plans for a possible ransom. Miranu may be a bridge officer, but he's still important to me." Soon Intimidator jumps in for the scheduled conference among the Corocian's allies. Rooster, Buba, Carnotaur, and Intimidator were scheduled to attend. There was still no word from Carnotaur. The three went in to the conference room and began to speak about the situation.....

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

The Malcontent, by itself, could feasibly take over half the galaxy. With a fleet, maybe the entire galaxy. That was Oasa's intent as he brought the Malcontent out of sequestration and into hyperspace, with a course laid in for Voina. First Corocia would fall, then Sol. The Renegades would surely reunite at this point, and Carno would finally be destroyed. Carnotaur the hated. One hundred and twelve years ago, on this date, Intimidator has wronged Oasa's parents in a bloody feud. Now revenge would be had, revenge upon the man who halved the Voinan empire's sphere of control. Finally he would pay, at the cost of Carno's entire empire. He would see the galaxy crumble around him, and his homeworld destroyed. Yes, this would be the fate of Carnotaur.

The Corocians had christened a new flagship, the C.W.S. Zodiac. It was an enlarged Crescent Warship, red and white like the corocian flag. It sat in docking among the C.W.S. Daemon Gara and A.E.S. Intimidator.

Just setting in the background, Intimidator or Buba should start the meeting now.

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

Buba gets the Minister on the Comm link: "What is it?" says the Minister in a rather nasty tone. Buba: "I'm calling to set-up a ransom price for the safe return of Miranu to us." The Minister pauses for a brief moment: "Why is he so important to you?" Buba: "That is none of your concern. Return him or we shall have to get him forefully." Comm: "Haha! I'de like to see you try. Nevertheless we shall return Miranu to you under one condition." Buba: "And what might that be?" Comm: "Return Mihal and Romit to us." Buba: "Very well, our forces shall leave your planets as soon as Miranu is returned safely to Earth in the Sol System. And don't try anything." Comm: "I can't promise anything. Good-day Buba." The comm connection goes dead.

------------------
"I'll get the brute squad!"
"I'm on the brute squad."

I will not revoke that, however Oasa will need to confirm that is what he wishes. The meeting over after a brief drink of Saalian with Intimidator and thanks upon his fleet coming to help, Rooster went to the astrometrics lab to think. He pulled up the space maps, and noticed the section of land owned by Daedalus up north that was issued to the Oasan Empire. With the Miranu in between, they mustn't have a large mass of forces, and definately not an easy reinforcement. I shall suggest this to General Dvorik and Intimidator. He seems overly proud as he leaves the lab....

Apollo's Arrow enters Voinia after many dreary days in hyperspace. After orbiting the Malcontent twice as the crew watched in awe, the Ship finally landed on the War Planet. Many workers and supply ships were seen still making additions to the planet. Daedalus disembarked and made his way to the war room deep inside the crust.

Oasa, roostersw has escaped me. I rammed him out of hyperspace but had to rely on him to escape a blackhole. I wish to speak to you about the future. I watched an empire rise and fall within months. My mistake was, I expanded too fast. You have a powerful weapon but it cannot be many places at once. I have no fleet left except for 50 freighters after the attack from the UE. I agree with your plan to attack but not destroy sol. Their shipyards and resources will be useful as the voinian worlds are virtually stripped of resources from the Malcontent. Take precautions in protecting the Malcontent from small units getting on the surface.

I still have control over the North Tip pirates and they already have a fleet, but they will need it to take over some planets that they have lost. We will have to gain the respect of the South Tip pirates. I will go to the North Tip to strengthen our Igadzra alliance and attack the Adzgardi. I have a little score to settle with their president. Send me credits and I will send you ships when I can. I need to fund a project on F-25.

If you have nothing to add I will be leaving shortly.

Four days, later, the cloaked* Malcontent enters Voina. Oasa sends a hail to the planet, asking about the status of his prisoners. The Voinan on duty was confused by the lack of ships which could have caused the transmission, but after Oasa entered his 728 digit authentication key, it was sorted out. Still confused, the comm officer passed Oasa's commlink onto the commanding officer of Voina.

"Sir, rooster managed to get away. Apparently our stripsearch didn't find the commchip he used to radio his location to the Corocians. Daedalus took off in pursuit of rooster; I do not know where he went. All is not lost, however, we still have Miranu in captivity. He will be of some use, I presume. But I must ask you, where is your comm signal originating from? There's no ship visible in Voina, and my sensors aren't picking up a thing!"

"That is dire news you bring, V'lk. But you are right; there is still hope, for I am in command of the Malcontent, a planet converted to a warship! With this superweapon, we will surely conquer the galaxy. Nevermind me, send up Miranu in a Blockade Runner and prepare a 20 cruiser fleet. My location right now is 23 degrees, mark 7. Be careful not to hit me. When the B.R. is in range, I will pick him up with a tractor beam. I shall proceed to Corocia with the hostage and the fleet. Good day."

V'lk stood at his station, flabbergasted. But suddenly, remembering the consequences for lazy officers, he began to carry out his orders. Two days later, Oasa was ready.

---

A week later, on Corocia, a distraught junior officer yelled out, "We have 20 incoming Voinans! Wait, twenty one! Something decloaked! Twenty are cruisers, but the 21st... look at this sir! I think it's a planet!"

"Hail them. What are their intentions?!"

Oasa, from deep inside the Malcontent's core, broadcast, "This is the Malcontent, known to you as the planet of Cthlus. I am armed with 24,698 neutron turrets. I could destroy you within minutes. But I have no such intention of doing so. Put Rooster on the comm channel... NOW! I wish to discuss something of the greatest importance with him."

*latent cloaking, allows comm/scans/etc but not weapons firing, doesn't drain fuel.

bah... stupid posting one minute before me...

revised timeline:
oasa talks to daedalus, puts him in command of voina as he goes off. f25 can wait; you are needed to protect the homeworld.

------------------
(url="http://"http://www.bigfurrydeal.com") bigfurrydeal! (/url)

Let's just say that my last post and this one occured while during your big post while the Malcontent was still in Voinia. Keep the timeline.
-------------

Oasa, I have no fleet with which to defend with. However, I will still remain on Voinia and control the north tip from here. Good luck with your conquest.
Daedalus returns to his quarters and is not seen leaving them until after the Apollo's Arrow is seen blasting off for F-25.

Strange, thought a Voinian on watch as he covered his eyes from the sun's reflection of the silvery hull. I wonder why he would send his ship hame without him.

Where is everyone?
Is the server down for you?

Uuggghhhhh!!!!!!!

I've just about had it! Now Daedalus is going to try to kill the Azdgari and me and he'll never stop!!!!! Grrrrrr!!!!!! Just because a blow up a bunch of Renegade ships doesn't mean that Daedalus or Oasa has to mess up the storyline with all this "Carnotaur the hated" stuff!! Its getting really annoying having someone thirsty for revenge who never seems to LOOSE after you with an OVERLY BIG fleet!!! (Turncoats and CWs would be SLAUGHTERED by Carnotaurs upgraded Azdgari warships!!)

And PLEASE!! Try to get the characters straight!! Intimidator does not fight anymore!! He is a president and cannot put himself in danger like that! Carnotaur does all the working now!!!

--------------------
Ummm, was my post about Carnotaur expanding the Azdgari Empire revoked? Or just my part about giving the Corocians a bunch of ships.
--------------------

Carnotaur then decides the only way to save his skin is to simply join Oasa, although he would kind of hate fighting Buba and Rooster. Ah well, maybe he could make a deal with Oasa.... Hmmmmm...

Carnotaur decides to visit Oasa, seeing that Daedalus hates his guts and Carnotaur hates his guts.

Carnotaur goes in his ship, the A.E.S. Carnotaur, along with two of his personel captured Igazras. Carnotaur travels through Igadzra space and then eventually ends up in Voinia where he hopes to find Oasa, but NOT Daedalus. Carnotaur has his Igazras mask their weapons signatures and then deactivates the weapons on his ship. He wants Oasa to think that all his ships weapons are deactivated, but he doesn't want to be caught unprepared with Daedalus around.

Carnotaur hails Oasa asking for a private meeting...

(If Oasa is NOT in Voinia, well, Carnotaur goes to wheerever Oasa is an then hails him)

I'm in orbit around Corocia now. Imagine I sent you a psychic message to go there.
