OOC: Sorry Benden, that's why I left the ending open to you. And as for the Rock: it's only a rock!

Payback watches as ships begin to flee the system, their mission accomplished, but with losses heavier than expected. The renegades put up a solid fight (OOC: I'm not gonna bother with numbers: I may be a math person, but I am so I confused I'm chasing my own tail over here!) and lost a good half of their fleet, possibly more, but also significantly weakened the Zachit.

Of course we will honor our committment. We thank you profusely for your aid here, now we will be obliged to use our forces in your spearhead. Whenever you see fit to strike, we will be there.

The fleet was 3/4s complete with fase weapons now, and the scientists has just discovered flimsiplast armor. It would aid with the survivability of ships in the Strand, but resources were tied up in battle now, so equipping will probably never happen.

OOC: Benden, we'll say you transferred control to another ship right before your ship exploded.
OOC: Also, it seems NO ONE looked at the map. I stated before, the map is different from standard EVO. Although the Renegades ARE damages with a major planet destroyed, they have about 7 other systems. I'll take into account that planets that border the rock were damaged by incoming fleets, but still.
OOC: I'm not ready to end this story yet either, so it'll probably go well into the fifth page, since I want a little more to happen. I dont care what exactly, just SOMETHING. Also, I'm going to probably stop posting for the UE. Asriel, you can post for the advancement of the cruiser. I'll post for the UE if anyone attacks them, ok?

We hear that you have some technologies that we dont have. I say we work together to increase each other's power so we can both fight more effectively. Shield regenerators and maneuverability upgrades are included with this message. Can we have your fase weapons?

Message to Miranu
From: Azdgari
Your actions were understood at the time, however a merc. group that was working for us had several ships destroyed at your power. All we ask is that you replace them. We don't want to fight you any more than you want to fight us, but we will if we dont get compensation in the form of.. 10 Laziras, 15 Aradas, 2 CW's, and enough SAD's w/ launchers to fill all of the ships' cargo space. We'll pay you for all of it, but we'll only pay the construction price, not retail. If you refuse, you know in your soul that the Azdgari could steal them without much difficulty.
End

OOC: Miranu, I'll let you build them all in 2-3 posts.

The Azdgari fleet moves back to their home-system, to protect their um.. project.

From: United Earth
I know we have fought for, what seems like, forever, but we both need to use good sense and realize that our war is at a stale-mate. We would both benefit from a cease-fire. We'll send you our stats for the Blaze Cannon if you accept. I know they're not as powerful as your neutron weaponry, but if you utilize our cooling techniques we use on the blaze, and put it on your neutron, you will be able to get a higher firing rate. We'll expect the final plans whenever you finish.

REDchigh leans back, and prays that the Voinians will accept.

The UE cruiser is advancing as planned.

The Council
an Arada belonging to ESPilot arrives in Gadzair, and hails them immediately. The Council is seconds from deploying the defense fleet to run it off, when the captain mentions the Azdgari. The Arada is allowed clearence, and taken to a room with solid white walls, white ceiling, even a perfectly white floor. There is a one foot square gray patch on the wall. A voice comes from it-
"I am the last surviving co-founder of the Council, Oiseau. I always knew that the Azdgari were the biggest threat against our rules. Tell me everything you know."
"Well The Azdgari have allied all the renegade factions in the Galaxy, giving them...."
"What?! A Strand creating an Alliance?! This will not be tolerated well by the other members... Oh.. you're not finished. Continue."
"..Giving the renegade factions their technology..."
Oiseau makes a muffled remark, but lets the pilot finish.
"to make them powerful, all the while muttering about a new ship class, which is guessed to be extremely powerful by their amount of secrecy. They've also been mentioning something about an attack on a station, but we dont have a clue as to what they're talking about.. we're thinking outpost Terapin."
"Possible Terapin, but we dont have time to worry about that. The strands are not allowed to create any new ship classes, nor are they allowed to ally. The strands Fight each other, with each other's military prospering, and their economy and populations growing along with the war effort. The strands fight, but without any total obliteration. Seems the Azdgari are breaking several codes.. the penalty for breaking any council code is death. You say the leader is Skradz'Na? He'll have to be.. taken.... to teach the Azdgari a lesson.
You're excused now, but keep us up to date.
Oh, by the way, 3M credits have been deposited into your galactic bank account."

-Commander Saraine, Dark Angels Flagship Fallen Angel )

On the Angel's Lair's large engineering deck,repair crews were still fixing up the damage of the Battle of The Rock.
Yet in one of the undamaged engineering bays,Commander Saraine,assisted by several young engineers,was fiddling with the casing of a SAD.
Saraine had alwas been an engineering genius,especially when it came to upgrades,and this was no different.
He was trying to figure out a way to easily improve the speed and accuracy of the humble SAD.
When he'd finished,it would be known as the Hunt-And-Kill module,or HAK.
It would also glow a deep blue,shot through with sparks of cyan,in flight.

Saraine had also decided on a new colour scheme for the Dark Angels;blue and black.
For instance,at this moment,juniour Azdgari technicians were swarming over the hull of the few remaining Aradas(3),painting their main bodies black and their serrated fins a dark blue.CWs were already this colour,but with new high-reflectiveity paint,they would look glossier,

The leader of Battle Group White Rage, stepped into his brand new Crescent Fighter after his was severly damaged at the battle of the rock. He drove off to give it a test drive and came straight back. All groups were stationed around Outpost Zachit, unless they were going out for frequnt patrols. All the groups were going to be assigned planets soon but not untill all the groups were repaired. All the leaders of the battle groups were debating on which system they got, except of course for Silver Falcon, being that OV was the leader of the Zachit, he immeditaly got Outpost Zachit

ESPilot was now in the Miranu system. Having taken a short leave, he'd made his way up there, and asked a Crescent Warship's captain (also a friend of his) if he could use the long-range comm. He then sent a message to the Fallen Angel.

{Message to Saraine, captain of the Fallen Angel, leader of the Dark Angels}{Class B Standard encryption}
Saraine, old friend; WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! Allying with the Azdgari, treacherous, lowlife scum, who are themselves allied with the Renegades, even more treacherous, lowlife scum. As a fellow bounty hunter and mercenary, I advise highly against it. The Azdgari are tricky, and willing to backstab you on a moment's notice. Also, in allying with the Azdgari, you ally with the Renegades, who are now allies with the Azdgari. Although I can't control your actions, I suggest you disband from the Azdgari. They've been up to something lately, some grand master scheme of conquest, and they aren't exactly known for sharing wealth with others, even amongst themselves. But, do what you will. Just don't come crying to me when you're blown to pieces.

They hardly seem treacherous to me;in fact they seem quite nice.
As for the Azdgari master plan,I'll admit I don't know all of it yet.
But I never liked the Zidagar;why should we, as Strandless, care for their Outpost Terapin?

Payback grimaces. His fleets in adjacent systems to the Rock suffered some minor losses, due to fleets jumping through them. Overall, his losses were minimal compared to those incurred by the Zachit, thanks to the stolen fase technology. He focuses all his resources into rebuilding the Renegade fleet back to its original form. Of course, with the flimsiplast armor developed, all ships coming off the production lines will have that extra layer of armor. Flimsiplast armor is not as much absorbative as it is reflective. A couple of hits with phase weapons in approximately the same space will bun it away, but it is easy and cheap to replace and a couple hits per a few square meters makes Renegade ships that much tougher.

Zachit patrol groups started to increase around the systems for extra precautions.

The Zachit were closer and closer to being ready. Some groups like group Titan, were so badly hit that the remaining Titan members joined other groups for the time being.

"Any word from the azdgari?" OV questioned.

"Not one blasted thing yet" the officer replied.

"If they don't respond soon send another message" OV said and walked off

Anyway, just popping in to tell y'all I am going to be away for a couple days, and will not be accessing the 'net during that time period. I am authorizing any mod to do what they will with my renegades until I arrive back here. I'll probably be back to check in late Sunday night, EST.

"What the hell's happeneing?" said the UE patroller. He watched in fear as it began to spew out a steady stream of a white substance of some sort. It slammed against the ship, and the fighter was blasted into a billion pieces. The giant penis turned towards Earth, and fired an amazing two-minute barrage of the substance. The destruction on Earth was unbelieveable, and 9 months later there was a large influx of children being born. The ship hypered out, but sent one last message to Earth: "YOU HAVE BEEN JIZZED ON BY THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!"
