Depths of Space (IC, OPEN, FT)

[Harndar]

After an hour or so, a dropship was sent to the ship.

The dropship, lands in the ship and was greeted by Master Yon along with a squad of marines. "Hello I'm Master Yon of medical staff and please forgive us for the marines but, we have to follow protocol". Yon said respectfully.

The scientist exits the pod with her own pair of guards,"Well, we all have to protocols, don't we?"

Master Yon relaxes , "yes we do and follow me to the medical lab". Master Yon leads the scientist and her guards to the medical lab with a sample of the tea ready for her.

"Nice to meet you Runsa" and Yon activities the computer the information for the tea is listed, if you have a datapad or something that has information about human biology on please on this pad, he motions to the pad while the marines stay in a defensive stance around them.

Runsa takes out her own pad and jots down the human biology, the major organs, health, and more. Once done she gave the data pad back.

Yon takes the pad, "thank you" and he analyses the information. "Mmmmmm, we are somewhat similar in biology, but just to be sure". Yon transfers the information to their computers. "Start the holo" he said and a holographic projection of the human body is displayed in the enter of the room along side a Vryr'yks body . "Runsa you should see this since your knowledge would benefit here".

Eris stared in fascinated rapture at Gawain. Her son. Their son. He was...beautiful, in every way. From every possible angle, through every possible lens, he was perfect and Eris knew she would go to the ends of the world for him, if she needed to. He gazed up at her through his intelligent, emerald eyes his face so innocent and etched with curiosity that it brought a tear to Eris’ eye. Khronos appeared beside her and her heart swelled further as she turned to receive the kiss, arms looping around Khronos as they both stared at their son, together. He rocked back and forth slightly in his cradle and it struck Eris then just how quickly he was learning. When she’d first let go of him long enough to put him in there, he had been so terrified that she had hastily picked him back up and cradled him herself. Now, he loved the rocking motion and Eris alway kept half an eye on him to make sure he wasn’t going to somehow tip it over.

“He’s perfect.” She replied to Khronos, leaning her head against his body and feeling the steady in-out of his breathing, “Absolutely perfect.”





Euphemia punched in the key code and the door hissed open, swirling the hem of her royal purple dress as it did so. It looked ridiculous on her, but formality demanded she wore it when she was speaking with nobles from other houses, much though she detested it. She lightly stepped inside and saw Lyson was already here. She grimaced to herself as she checked her watch. Five minutes late.

“Sorry about that.” She shot Lyson an apologetic smile, “The meeting overran quite spectacularly.”

She perched on the edge of her bed, one leg crossed daintily over the other, hands laced over the raised knee. Lyson had been coming on quite well in the months since the marriage. She supposed it was mostly because of the pills-it was almost a cultural dream come true for the Taari to no longer need their envirosuits. But she also felt that there was more to it than that. Lyson wanted to heal. He knew he had a problem and was prepared to deal with it, and all Euphemia was really doing was giving him an example that Xenos weren’t all bad to help keep his original preconceptions down. Her smile turned from apologetic to warm as the thought crossed her mind.

“So, how are you doing today?” She asked him brightly.

[Theyra]

"Please do, if you do now mind."

One moment, Yon activates the comm function on his wristguard. Captain Yryln, the tea is safe for humans but, if their don't drink it when they are calm or it may cause health problems and we should include the non calming version as well".

"Okay, Yon, we will contact the Council and trade should start soon" and Yryln closes the link.

"Rusna, as a precaution if you people have trouble with tea, my team will work on a version of the tea that's more human-friendly"."Something like a medium of the two version, retaining some of its calming effect so it won't cause health problems and has a appealing favor"."Yon hands Runsa a datapad of the possible heath problems that the tea can cause and ways to treat it along. "I will have the captain contact your government when it is ready and if you have no more questions than you are free to leave".

The Imperator's Might
Capital Dreadnought of All Remnant Fleets
The Taari Armada / Remnant

Khronos smiled down at Gawain. Gawain, their son; the future of the Taari and humans. He held his wife close to her, as she rested her head against him. Khronos was happy to be with her, and their son. He was happier in general. Life had been good after the marriage, and only seemed to be getting better. He couldn't imagine life in an envirosuit anymore, surprisingly. It never crossed his mind, the thought; though when it did, he thought it ridiculous. Khronos kissed Eris lightly on her forehead, looking at their son rock in his crib.

"Eris. You and Gawain are the two most important people in the universe to me. I will never let a thing happen to either of you. Ever.", he promised in a whisper to his wife. Khronos lightly kissed her lips again. He felt the need to reassure her constantly; to show her how much he loved her. It was a need to be sure that this was all real, because if it was a dream he didn't want to wake up. That, and the fact everything had been so wonderful was great. Their son. Crown Viceroy of the Taari Remnant; Noble of Spindle. A true idol to behold.


Lyson smiled at Euphemia as she entered, and nodded in understanding. He understood her; she understood him. He considered her a friend now, rather than a foe waiting to strike. It actually occurred to him how... idiotic it was for him to consider her an enemy. She wasn't a threat. At least, she'd proven she wasn't. But Lyson had a long way to go before he'd be comfortable with other xenos. Perhaps he'd regain his position on the Admiralty if all went well. Nonetheless, when she asked her question, Lyson blinked a few times in thought. He spoke after a moment.

"I've been... alright. It still feels odd to not need an envirosuit anymore. Euphemia, I know in previous sessions I've said this, but... I just feel so guilty for it. I apologize severely for harming you back when I was so... deluded. Still, though... I can't help but feel nervous slightly around other humans aside from you. And xenos in general still... worry me.", he said with a finish. He told the truth; and nothing but it. Lyson had agreed to it after she had gotten through to him. Lyson stared at her, keeping his smile, but it was one of sadness and happiness. Lyson felt odd near her nowadays. He wasn't sure what it was, but he shrugged it off.

"We thank you for your cooperation, you have no idea how helpful that tea would be for us."

Yon has a curious look on his face. "Do your people have anger problems or something else that the tea would help with?

No, no... Not with the calm ones anyways."

"Oh, so this disease is only contagious when the infected is angry and you said calm ones." "So the infected can live with the disease and not spread it if they are calm". "But, is there a cure or is being calm the only option for the infected?

[Harndar]

"There is no cure, sadly."

[Theyra]

"There is no cure, sadly."

"Well in that case I can arrange for some of our tea to be sent back with you and if it's possible a sample of this disease, so we can perhaps find a cure".

[Harndar]

"There is no cure, sadly."

"Well in that case I can arrange for some of our tea to be sent back with you and if it's possible a sample of this disease, so we can perhaps find a cure".

"Then when it is possible sent the sample and we will start to work on a cure and if that's it". "Yon motions to the door, I think we done here and", Yon gets on his wristguard, "I want a container of tea ready to sent back with the Harndarians".

"It will done and will be there when they leave".

"Now you should be able to see it's effects before trading starts".

[The Greater Gambia]

Kalchata Orbit

The Maug-Lai Armada continued their glassing operations against the highbreed on the planet. Large swaths of land on the planet now glowed a bright orange due to the bombardments. The planet's temperature began to rise to incredibly high levels, turning the oceans into boiling water, killing what little sea life remained. The perma frost in the polar regions began to melt, releasing extreme amounts of methane into the atmosphere. Under these conditions, nothing except the most resilient, microbial organism could survive, but the High Breed was different. Despite this, scans still showed vast amounts of the parasites on the planet, taking refuge in the deep catacombs underneath the surface.

Aboard the Carrier"Blade of Marsolis", the crew was preparing the Ventral Beam Cannon for another bombardment. Warlord Akono put the coordinates into the targeting system and gave the order to commence with firing. The target was a peninsula on the planet's southern continent. Once green with lush rainforests, now was a dark red, all life absorbed into the High Breed. Within seconds, plasma beams from the Carrier and 3 near by Battle Cruisers pierced through the atmosphere and burned the peninsula below. Plasma enveloped the peninsula, burning everything in its way. The ships stopped their firing, the newly glassed area burned brightly before cooling into a orange glow, like many areas on the rest of the planet.

For the past few hours, countless Warlords had been calling in, pledging their loyalty to the Highest Warlord, or atleast until the High Breed was hunted down to extinction. Maug-Lai Warbands of all kinds were lining up to fight the High Breed. Some of them were already aligned with King Salog and would have joined the fight regardless, but many came only for the Legolo-Sa. Blood Hunts were always great uniters of the Maug-Lai, bringing them together to fight a common enemy or dangerous species. Despite them being calls for unity, Legolo-Sa's are also some of the most bloody parts of Maug-Lai history. As a Legolo-Sa comes to an end, and the last enemy has been killed, the once unified army usually fracture into their old alliances and turn on one another. Usually, each warlord musters all of their strength not for the last kill of the hunt, but for the first kill of "peacetime."

Salog stood at the Hologram projector, speaking to the large Maug-Lai being displayed over it. The creature was large, even for a Maug-Lai. On his back was a large Maug-Lai War Scythe. He carried a Maug-Lai Plasma SMG at his side, in case the scythe failed for some reason. He wore a black EVA suit, typical of Maug-Lai living on un-terraformed fringe worlds and Asteroid Mining Colonies. The suit obscured his face, only barely allowing sight of the Maug-Lai within it through the glowing red eyeholes. The suit was covered in Maug-Lai War paintings, blending Federation technology, and Maug-Lai culture.

"While we in the Hera Nebula Clique have no love for you or your bastardized Dynasty, we will answer the call for a Legolo-Sa. Our fleet is mobilizing as we speak and we will share some of the spoils of the nebula with you until the Hunt has come to an end." The Warlord said.

"Many thanks. As a sign of cooperation, The Armada will turn a blind eye to your more..."unsavory" activities with Dalga Drug Traffickers. While the Federation Congress will of course object and issue sanctions against us, our representatives will make sure to block any moves. I assume that you'll use the Dalga representatives you have paid off to back us as well." Salog said, the Clique Warlord puffed out steam from his suit.

"Correct, but in the future, remember to not assume things. This Legolo-Sa will not last forever." The Clique logged off, Salog gave a sigh of relief. It was irritating having to deal with the passive aggression and two faced messages from Warlords that wanted him dead. As he turned away, the Comms Analyst got another signal.

"Highest Warlord, we're receiving another message." Salog groaned.

"Tell whatever Yokel Warlord it is that we've encountered an issue that requires my attention." The Comms Analyst pressed the issue.

"It's coming from our Embassy on Jakala. It's coming from Highest War Lady Katja." Salogs ears perked up. He turned back to the Hologram projector to see the Hologram of his wife standing before him.

"So, tell this Yokel Warlord what issue was so dire?" Katja said with an annoyed tone. Salog tried to change the subject.

"Katja, what is the news from Jakala?" Katja blew out air still annoyed by her husbands previous comment.

"What do you think? Both the Federation Lord of Admirals and Lord of Generals have come by the embassy demanding for me to tell you to call off what they call "overzealous hunting trip in the Fringe". They're only concerned because thousands of Maug-Lai are resigning from the Federation Military and flocking back to whatever
Warlord they came from so that they can take part in the blood hunt."

"They'll get over it. Maybe this will push the other races to carry their own weight." Salog said.

"Have any of the Fringe Warlords refused to join the hunt?"

"And have their bloodlines be branded cowards? No one would that stupid. In fact, they've been contacting me in droves, pledging their commitment to the Blood Hunt." Salog scoffed.

"Probably just to put themselves in a good position to strike once the hunt is at an end. So far, The Hera Nebula Clique, Sons of Khaja, and the Void Pack, along with countless lesser Warlords are enroute to join the hunt."

"Great, Narcotic makers, religious fanatics, pirates, and every yokel warlord grasping for power. I predict a lot of bloodshed due to incompetence."

"Will you be joining in? Since your a female, you only have to take part if there isn't a male to take your place." Katja scoffed at the idea.

"I know haw a Legolo-Sa works. I took part in the Blood Hunt for the Dredge Worms of the Marsolis moons, remember? Besides, like I'd leave the task of organizing you males to some lesser War Lady. My fleet is rallied here over Jakala. I'd leave immediately, but I have matters to finish here before I can leave."

"Who will be taking your place as Maug-Lai Ambassador?" Salog asked.

"Our daughter, Sindra. I figured she could use the experience. It won't be much, just navigating through the rabble. All she'll have to do is listen to the ramblings of Taani Representives about "Unity between the species in the Federation" and join a few Tagali hunts. In fact, I fear it will be rather boring for her." Suddenly, a crew member spoke on the intercom of the ship.

"Highest Warlord, a ship is coming out of FTL in the system. It's signature is unknown."

"I have to see who's entering a warzone unannounced. Hail me when you're enter the system." Salog shut off the hologram and returned to the bridge. When he returned, everything seemed the same as usual. The Armada continued glassing the planet. Salog walked up to Akono.

"What is the problem?"

"We've detected an unknown ship coming into the system. Word has definitely spread by now that this system is a warzone, who would come here?" Suddenly, within a second, the ship came out of FTL. It was Kandalla-Class Light Corvette, the smallest of the Tagali Federation's ships, or any ship of the Member species. This one was different, however. Instead of the White and blue color pallet that most ships in the Federation Navy dawned, this one was entirely black. It lacked the standard weaponry of a Kandalla Corvette as well, only armed with a MAC gun and two defense batteries.

It also lacked any naming or any designation on it. The only thing displaying its allegiance was the Tagali coat of arms on the side of the ship. The ship sped past the Maug-Lai Armada, going straight for the Federation Fleet.

"Talverian Vengeance", Tagali Federation 12th Patrol Fleet Flag ship

Rear-Admiral Tila monitored the situation. The Federation Fleet had mostly left the fighting to the Maug-Lai. To them, their mission was finished. They had helped Salog in destroying Okalar's fleet over the planet and had crippled his bases on the planet. These creatures, this "High Breed" was just a nuisance that the Maug-Lai were content with dealing with on their own. Never the less, they stayed, just in case the situation took a turn for the worst.

"Rear-Admiral, a Kandalla-Class Corvette has entered the system, its ID is heavily encrypted and their trying to hail us." Said one of the Comms Analysts.

"Answer, maybe they'd be able to tell us what we're exactly dealing with here." A hologram of the Ship's Captain appeared before her.

"Greetings, I am Commander Kamin Ol-Lagan of the Federal Intelligence Society. We've come to collect two operatives you have in your possession. We'll dipatch a shuttle to pick them up."

"Talverian Vengeance" Rec Hall

Ever since they gotten back onto the "Talverian Vengeance", Temir and Keeva had been barraged with questions from the soldiers and crew members about what they witnessed down on the surface. Some of them were simply curious as to what this new species was, not knowing of the horrors that the High Breed could unleash. Most of these naive ones were rookies. The Veterans however, were more weary. Most of them had fought Fringe Groups in the past, some made up of Aliens that had aligned with the colonials for whatever reason. Some of them were even veterans of the Maug-Lai Wars or the Yongmee First Contact Skirmishes. They dreaded another first contact conflict, and seeing 2 million Maug-Lai soldiers massacred and returned from the dead to fight their comrades in a matter of hours was worrying.

The Rec Hall had returned to normal now, the crew returned to their duties or went on to do something else. Yongmee engineers flew around to various points in the ship. Their wings creating a low hum. Temir was catching up on sleep and failing while Keeva read an old collection of Taani Folk tales on her datapad. Their activities were interrupted by Tila's voice coming over the Intercomm.

Operatives Temir Yol-Vaneer and Kiiva La'Chakas. Please report to the Hangar Bay." The two were surprised by the sudden command but followed it anyway and made their way to the Hangar. When they got there, they were greeted by an unusual sight, at least in this day and age. by the FIS shuttle was a tall, Tagali Cyborg, a relic of the 100 year Tagali Civil War. he seemed more machine than Tagali, though. The only organic part of him visible was his head. Even then, he had a synthetic blue left eye, contrasting with his right red eye. the rest of his body was synthetic as well, made up of titanium and a variety of other metals.

On his chest was a faded out emblem of a Kelgar head with two crossed swords behind it. Under it had something written in Kandallan, the local language on the planet of Kandalla.Temir had difficulty translating it, but eventually figured it out.

"Kandal Troga Trongii, Kandallan Death Troopers. Never thought I'd meet a Augment Soldier in the Flesh, or metal that is. Especially a Outer System one." He thought. The Augment Soldier walked towards them. He spoke in a thick Kandallan accent.

"Greetings, I am Yandalle Jul-Tazane. I have been instructed to escort you to the "Archus"."The two operatives followed the Cyborg on to the shuttle. As soon as they were onboard, the shuttle departed for the Corvette. Once the Shuttle was safely in its hangar, the Corvette left as soon as it came into the system. Shortly after the Corvette left, the Tagali fleet came under fire from something on the surface. several ships were destroyed on impact, even the "Talverian Vengeance" Took a massive blow to the shields, almost causing them to give way.

"What in Kagan's name was that!?" Tila yelled.

"The High Breed has taken control of a set of Planetary Defense Batteries located on an atoll near the equator!" Yelled one of the Bridge Ensigns. This was a surprise for Tila. The "Blades of Okalar" had very little in the way heavy firepower. What they did have was quickly destroyed during the opening hours of the 1st battle of Kalchata. the crew of this installation must have been ordered elsewhere during the battle, or this base would have met the same fate. Tila wasn't going to just let them turn her fleet to slag.

"So, damn Tarlacks want to steal toys from others. Well, let's teach them a lesson in Tagali discipline. fire MAC rounds!" Two MAC rounds left the ship and began their descent towards their target. The first round collided with one of the Batteries, while the second hit a second one. The force of the two rounds completely destroyed the main island in the atoll. the collisions also caused tremors where they hit, creating a tsunami that swallowed the rest of the atoll and destroying the other batteries in the process.

"Batteries have been neutralized Ma'am. Battle Group Tagrii has been completely destroyed, as well as Battle group Tagrin. Halva and Gongu are reporting heavy casualties!"

"Order the fleet to begin scanning for any other surprises that Okalar was too dumb to use. Kill on sight!"

I've finally decided on a definition for Tarlack.

Tarlack- A lice-like creature native to Santara. usually contracted as an STD and unsanitary conditions. Once only found on the outer planet of Santara. Now it's found throughout the Todval system due to use as a biological weapon by the Outer planets during the civil war. While it used to inflict horrible pain to the infected individuals genital regions. Modern medicine has lessened these ailments, leading it to be a minor nuisance.

Sol System - Orbit Around Mars - Battle Group Sol - I.O.S. Relentless Zeal, Crown Prince Joseph Marx's Flagship - Audience Chamber - 2030 Earth Hours

Ostian Imperial Wine is known for its fruity and sweet taste. The wine was meant to be savored, not drunk rapidly. In contrast, Ostian War Wine was the most alcoholic beverage in Ostian Cuisine, few non-Ostian alcohols could complete with the alcohol content of the beverage. Traditionally, Ostian War Wine is meant to be drunk in a large mug, the drinker scooping his share of War Wine from the open barrel. It is one of the rites of passage for Ostian youth to be able to drink four mugs of War Wine and be able to stand for the rest of the night. Many non-Ostians are known to pass out just from the first mug, those who do manage to take down their third mug will quickly find friends among the Ostian patrons.

As everyone was enjoying their soup, Joseph picked up a tablet and began typing into it. Just than a few shapes appeared behind Joseph. Joseph stood up and took a deep breath. "Now that we have had something in our mouths, I would like to begin this discussion by stating what my battlegroup contains." The holograms behind Joseph were minatures of Ostian Starships and Battlesuits, when Joseph tapped into the tablet and one of the battlesuits were enlarged. "While I could explain conventional Ostian naval strategy, I do not follow such conventional methods. What you see before you is Excalibur Industries Twenty-Three B, Coeus, Long Range Support Battlesuit. While it is not as agile when compared to the Styx, the latest production model of Ostian Battlesuits, it makes up for anti-starship firepower. That large gun it carries is a miniaturized version of our own Jager Cannon." Just than another image appeared, of a Ostian destroyer. The jager cannon is outfitted on our destroyers, it is a large railgun that can fire three different projectiles. The destructive potential of the projectile is based upon the armor of the target. Basically, the more armor the target has, the more devastating the shot. A perfect hit with the cannon will cause the target to rock backwards from the shot and induce extensive internal damage. There are cases when the projectile does pass through the target, but that is why we have ammunition of varying penetration power. The Coeus's cannon is about 1/4 the power of a Jager cannon and only has one type of ammunition. Despite this setback, they are still effective against most enemy ships. But their preferred target is capital ships."

Displeoa System - Heading Towards Lepota - Between Vryi and Lepota - 60 Hours to 61 Hours After Awakening

The Battlesuits began to engage in their own battle with the biofighters. A few were shot down by the initial barrage of the bioship, and the rest were tied up by the biofighters. In a few minutes, the eight Styx battlesuits came out of the hanger and clasped their hands together, forming a circle. They immeidatly engaged their engines, and speed quickly across the battlegroup and sped past the outer perimeter of the bio fleet encirclement. While the Styxs were fast by themselves, when they combined their engine power, they became faster, rivaling even the fastest starships.

The shields failed and the hull began taking a beating. Admiral Specht watched as his flagship exploded around him, despite this dismal situation, he was still sitting in his command chair. "Continue our barrage, we will remain undeterred. Alert security to prepare anti-boarding operations. Alert the Chief Munitions officer to prepare for our back-up."

The Undying Light, the battlecrusier which supported the Morbid Angel, began firing all its boarding pods at the unique bioships. The boarding pods passed through the Ostian shielding and exploded all along the hull, about six pods in total.

Displeoa System - Displeoa Fleet Starbase - 60 Hours to 61 Hours After Awakening

There was an inhuman scream coming from the bowels the Power Core center. A makeshift barricade was created around the control console and a dozen Ostians held they positions, rifles raised.

Just than all the doors into the power core center opened, and poured out the dozens and dozens of traitors. They painted their armors with strange symbols in blood, and used whatever to add to their macabre appearance.

"The All-Father welcomes all to his flock!" Yelled one of the traitors, who sped forward. The defenders had wide ranges of fire, but the question was is that did they have enough ammunition? Or did their swordsman ship skills were suitable for this kind of situation.

Fuerein System - Planet Fue5-X

There was a moment of silence before the Ostians responded. "You are to head to the following coordinates. Once there, you will see our Starbase. You are to dock and the Admiral will meet you shortly."

The evacuation was happening in an orderly fashion. Admiral Isla Baum was excited to be in the front-lines of this new conflict. It was better for a warrior to die in battle than old in bed. Isla Baum was fifty-seven years old, and looked forward to her death. Despite this wish, the needs of the Imperium come first. For the time being she had to use military transports to move the colonists from the planet but should these xenos prove to be cooperative...

"Admiral."

"Mmmm, yes?"

"The evacuation is 35% complete, it should be done within the week. Patrols report no highbreed activity in the system so far. But the Battle of Displeoa is ending soon according to the recent transmission. The sensor network will be completed within the hour."
