A small angry planet [OCC/OPEN!]

[Danceria]

So now we're making the Sol System a literal MAD station?

If that's what it takes to prevent the death of humanity, probably!

Not like it's a new scenario for them. Also, we need to sic the Dyne on those falling meteor dudenicks. I assume the Antarctic visitors are in no mood to negotiate other than "consume".

If that's what it takes to prevent the death of humanity, probably!

So egotistical. Why must you strive so hard to preserve yourselves when it means the needless suffering of so many others?

Oh, wow, I'm playing the Elders from XCOM 2.

The Ensari really effing hate the Erel for destroying one of their last Quantium planets. Once the Ensari find it, they will be sooooo frantic and will try to get humanity to be allies with them, so that humans will be given Ensari tech to make space capable ships(and help the Ensari shut the Erel up).

Random Fact: Ensari Starfire Class Battlecarriers are essentially mobile fighter factories. Given the necessary resources, they can churn out hundreds of drone fighters out of their assembly lines in the middle of battle. Luckily, only the Lunaven remains of that class.

Still: even though the government will proudly boast that Elystimar kicked your ass and kicked it hard, it was only because we became Humans. The plucky little primitives you poked one too many times (piecemeal tech, anyone?). Nevertheless, the Ensari are seen as the boogeymen. The image of a moon ship moments before an entire subcontinent is reduced to slag burns deep within the collective mind of the Empire.

Try not to kill us, though I wouldn't put it past you.

Also, person who plays the Dyne, I assume our two factions would at least know of each others existence?

Sure, sounds good. I'm kind of overwhelmed by all the new stuff right now, but I will have a post up soon.

Nah. There are good reasons the Ascended lands in Antarctica versus, say, New York.

Assuming you're the Dyne dude, I'm going to have a Hive-Minded crewmember act as an intermediary between you and the Non-Hived, cool?

The Erel might be the incident to bring the old enemies together.

"Radiation poisoning" and "lack of vulnerable ecosystems".

You're here to radiation poison, or because you thrive in cold climates?

More like the actions the Ascended need to take to serve their goal of preserving Earth have the byproduct of extensive radiation poisoning. And it would be poor form to cause mass casualties amidst the Potentials.

The "Potentials" being Humanity...and you're here to make Earth doesn't blow up until Humans realize their "Potential"?

More or less. And to ensure that other races don't extinguish that potential in their quest for green rocks.

Well, if anybody has realised that the Veselar are only targeting Quantium-laden worlds (which they undoubtedly will have) and knows that this planet is the only Quantium deposit left, I would think that the only logical conclusions would be 'The Erel is already here.' or 'The Erel hasn't arrived yet.'. The logical thing to do would be to look for the craft, though with a whole Solar System to scour... I don't know, depends what scanning technology you all have (or how well you know how the Veselar's modus operandi; since they can't transport singularities at FTL speeds, they pretty much always show up somewhere with easily-accessible material, like Kuiper Belts).

I dread to think of what humanity could be "potential" of, even being more important than the Phlebtonium/Quanitium...

I'll probably develop my spacefaring and space combat tech in an Aurora4x-style manner. It's the system I'm most familiar with.

On the surface side, perhaps we should invest more in disposable orbital defences from trucks and such...

So, the Great Game begins.

The conference in Bouvetøya is the Commonwealth's way of squeezing itself into the great game. It will certainly be interested in co-operation with the Dnye, if they show up, and regular diplomatic contact can't be a bad thing, even with hostile entities.

We'd love to show up, but we have the friggin Soviets calling monopoly on communications so...
wat do?

Put it this way: if you honour the Soviet's ban on Earth-extraterrestrial communications that does not go through Mir, what do you think that will do to the amount of trust and goodwill that US or China-aligned and neutral nations on Earth would have towards you?

Not very...and ICBMS aren't exactly fast...
And a poked Dyne can eat a planet/pant...

Antarctic aliens unhappy at resource exploitation by "lesser" races?

Drill, baby, drill!

Or... er, we will once we find out what it is.

Well, Dnye isn't exactly a Hive-Mind, its more of a huge, singular organism, but I guess a separate seed of Dnye could have, somehow, grown inside a crewmember and take them over?

Ooh, I really want to go

[Plzen]

Another quick IC post up.

[Skav-Kar]

Is this still accepting applications for alien nations?

[Labstoska]

I'd prefer more Human nations however you can still app as an alien one.

Also sorry about my small hiatus, I've been spending time with my family across the holiday, hopefully I'll be able to get my China app up tomorrow.

Never fear China will come to your aid, mainly because your the only Humans with advanced technology, soon the imperial people's guard will destroy the Xenos threat!

We shall give our Earthly comrades cheap fusion power and quantum computers if they so like.

That and influence politics in third world nations.
