Title: Dark Ambition's Story Hub
Post by: Dark Ambition on October 31, 2016, 03:50:36 AM
Hey guys :3

Since it's been so long since i've been active here, I didn't want to just post my next map in my particle fleet series like nothing happened. So i've decided to reimagine it with updated lore. It will mostly be the same, but will have two big changes.

First: The perspective will alternate between The Frontline Crew, and The Legislator's Flotilla. One map will be from the Legislator's point of view, the next map will be from Adalars.

Second: All maps will now contain an info cache with lore in it. These Codex's can be lengthy, but each Codex makes it clear that the information within is lore, and is not critical to the story, so that it may be skipped without missing any mission critical details (like how the lore was done in DOOM 2016: It's there, but you have to look for it, and it isn't needed)


Some other changes

1: Redacted Space is weird.

Redacted Space was portrayed as an anomalous area, with many questions and few answers. My maps will now reflect this, with many interesting little anomalies that could help or hinder you, or even just plain weird things that don't do anything. This place wasn't just a last resort, it was an experiment. Now it looks the part.

2: The Particulate is more or less mindless.

It does have a Nexus, but it does not exert control over its charges unless absolutely required. Feral Emitters are erratic, and spread all over the place. They are weaker, and generally less structured with their attacks. Thrall Emitters on the other hand are far more directed, as they are controlled directly by the Nexus. Their attacks are more contained, and powerful. Precise. You can tell if an Emitter is Enthralled by it's struc generation. Messy Struc = Feral. Blocky Struc = Enthralled. Additionally, Feral emitters are more likely to be alongside Doppels, while Enthralled emitters are escorted by ships. Though this does not mean Ferals have no ships.

3: Relics of the past.

Tying in with the anomalous; you may also stumble across the occasional Progenitor Relic. 144 CE's don't just entirely vanish. There's always something remaining. Though generally only relics of the last two era's, the Seloi and the Ecclesiarchy, are ever found. But some Relics, far more ancient and mysterious, stubbornly persist through the ages.

4: Frontline Vs GalTech Fleets

Frontline Corporation is a new Corporation, and split off from GalTech. As such: Frontline Corporation has not made their own fleet. The Fleet I used before is now retires, and uses a reimagined GalTech fleet, that GalTech also uses in combination with the prototype fleet.

The Legislator's ship has also been visually touched up.

Every map will have these Codex's, but I expect it'll be hard to fill all of them out. Additionally, this is a shared universe. I shouldn't come up with all of that backstory, so I must ask: If anyone has ideas for some codex's, please send them my way! I would prefer they be DM'ed, but if you don't mind it being in the open, then I don't.

=-= ARCHIVISTS LIBRARY =-=
=-= Codex: Archives =-=

=-= In an attempt to evade an issue that persisted in all era's, the destruction of information coinciding with the destruction of an empire, I was tasked with filling Particle Space with many Archives and Codex's that could potentially be protected from hostiles. Many of them have, sadly, been destroyed. Though many did survive. I relocated a significant amount of Archives to the Wimar Drift. The Drift's three area's, The Teltin Nebula, The Mojave Expanse, and The Shrouded Reach, have medium to heavy defenses. In the event of an incursion, Archives will be relocated one by one to the Archivists Library in Vegas Sector, Mojave Expanse, guarded by Thrall Emitters, and even an Ecclesiarchy Keeper with Seloi Keeper escorts.

=-= These Codex's are written in the first person view of I, Particulate Nexus Locus Harper. When I write of an event, person, or technology, I will present the information clearly and without bias. Afterwards, if applicable, I will then state my own opinions. Some Codex's will have events or tech that will need to reference the Creeper, or the Arc. But I never state their names directly, instead simply calling them The Enemy and The Object respectively, and I will usually word them in such a way that I can evade needing to reference them at all.

So far I have made three missions, fully built + tested. Working on fourth currently. Technically, I made eight missions, but I deleted three, because they featured a character and a gameplay gimmick that I decided I did not want to introduce in that way. There is another mission, also fully built and tested, but that one will not be submitted until half-way through the story.

Update(4/5/2019): Not every map will have a codex anymore. Simply too much writing. The codexes will now be seen as something cannon, and the characters will acknowledge them (especially the ones that are about the characters that collected it. I bet they have some questions :P)
As for map progress, look at the tracker below. It will be updated every time I finish a phase of a map. Phase 1: Dialogue, Phase 2: Gameplay, Phase 3: Difficulty Finalization.

Gotta say, I like your style. Especially the "Primary" ones, reminds me of Space Invaders somehow ;D

And the Precursor Artifacts, with those alien glyph-like looks. Beautifully done.

Keep an eye out for the map 'Reclamation initiative Pt2' and you'll see what I mean. I went a bit (absolutely) nuts with struc. Its all over the map. I have Mire spawners that aren't miring, there just there to create Struc xD

That sounds like it'll be fun to deal with.

STRUC EVERYWHERE.

GalTech thought it would be appropriate to add a Cyte to your licence bank, as you have managed to recreate a technology that stumped our science teams for a long while. Though we now have engineered our own versions of the Seloi gravitation modules.

No prob, and thanks for the compliment!  ;D
It took a long time and a very close call with all of my stuff just not working anymore, but the big move is done!

To whom it may concern:

We have entered the homeland of the "Shrapnoids" and are beginning to learn how hull separation works. The long answer will be addressed later, but for what we know now: These beings have used precursor technology to make surprisingly stable packets at only a millionth of the size of standardised packets. These are then focused into beams of energy, which get sent in rapid-fire pulses to power what they call "systems" as needed. It seems this manner of transport even works upon physical materials, causing Vulpe - our chief engineer - to be completely set back in her reverse-engineering of this technology. We will supply more detail in the The Union hub when we find them, but felt you may want to know this first.

Post by: Dark Ambition on December 18, 2016, 12:20:28 AM
Frontline Corporation has been in a rough spot for the past year or so. And now our income is running dry, so we're launching an expedition into Redacted space to try and find a Master Archive. We know, we know... it's a longshot, and might not even exist. But what other option do we have? We have contracted the Horan Galactic Rebel Alliance to send a defensive party, and General Warfield will be joining us on this expedition. I'll be giving temporary control of the company to Officer Conway, if there are any questions, ask him.

Well, I may have lied about having 1 fleet on the shelf. Because I have another fleet, one that I trashed because I didn't need for my maps, but I have no problem bringing them back if this becomes a contest!   ;)

     To: Timothy Carlisle [Caretaker]
     From: Bethany Sierra [Adjutant]
     Subject: Communication

Caretaker, I think you should be notified of a communication we received from your friends. It seems they're warning us to be prepared, something big is about to happen.

     Take care,
Adjutant Sierra

----------------------------------------
Skarsgard: I don't get it...

Aliana: Don't get what?

Skarsgard: Dagr revealed all the information GalCorp was hiding from the public. They should be banging on their doors with pitchforks by now, but it seems the people are being complacent.

Aliana: Ha! A revolution takes time to be fully realized, just wait it out.

Arc-Bot: I'm afraid Skars is correct. The civilians seem to be going to GalCorp for protection, they trust them.

Skarsgard: But this is around the time that the Ticon Empire was forged... what did we do wrong?

Aliana: Maybe nothing. They just need to be... convinced... that GalCorp can't protect them.

Skarsgard: And how do we go about convincing them? We can't do it ourselves.

Aliana: We do what we always do. Put someone on the right path.

Skarsgard: But who? I don't see any candidates.

Aliana: Hmmm... Arc-Bot, scan the archives of any alien species that survived the creeper. Give me the location of the nearest that has the highest probability of effectiveness

Arc-Bot: I know of a cryogenic vessel belonging to an empire from the first common era. The one survivor was in stasis for many eons, but still lives. It seems he was placed in stasis around the year 2030. There are dormant particle emitters near it. I think the ship will awaken if I activate those emitters.

Skarsgard: Who is it?

Arc-Bot: His name is Kiron. He belonged to the empire that once almost obliterated humanity, just before a single female human fought back using their tech and forced them to retreat.

Skarsgard: Ahh, I remember her. He should be good... Where is he?

Arc-Bot: Redacted Space, Mojave Expanse. Far from The Archivist and the Frontline expedition. Contact between them is unlikely, but still possible. Contact between Kiron and GalCorp is certain. And you know how GalCorp treats aliens.

Skarsgard: Perfect. This alien could do it. Send the code, awaken those emitters. Kiron won't have the tech to survive, give him a lathe.

Arc-Bot: Sending... Done. The slumberer is waking.

Hey,

Can I ask why you wanted information for these people specifically? I can't find many connections to them other than the people in the same faction. I mean... what kind of connections could there be to the H.G.R.A and Frontline Corporation?

Greetings,

     I'm afraid you are far too late. This message was sent 4 days ago, and the attack has already begun. Hundreds of stations are being destroyed, most of them GalCorp. This attack is being focused mostly in the Mojave Expanse. If you stay away from there, you should have less of a chance of running into an Avatar.

GalCorp is trying to get me to expunge your ship manager database, because you are entering Redacted Space. But I sense you have... plans. I will allow you your vessels.

I wish I could say more to help you, though I cannot lie to you about your chances... you have my sympathies.

Post by: GoodMorning on June 26, 2017, 10:29:25 PM
Roleplay always returns, doesn't it? And it's more fun the further it extends.

I think we need slightly finer hextiles, however - Redacted Space always felt rather more vast then any one dominion, and quite possibly greater than all known areas combined. Of course, it may be that it extends entirely around the galactic disc.

There's another "anomaly" at around (2.4,0.5) radial - Rising Star is responsible for that, but please don't come looking yet. It may all come to nothing...

Post by: Keeper Decagon on June 27, 2017, 12:28:45 PM
I really like this map you have going on! Also, makes sense for the Hiigarans to have come from their own galaxy through one of the great Hyperspace Gates to the Milky Way. Never really considered how I'd justify their presence in our galaxy, so I guess you've done me a favour! :P

Also, I agree with GM, that I imagined Redacted Space to be everywhere in the Galaxy that's not Protected Space (at least, to the perspective of GalCorp, since other empires will have carved out their own sectors within Redacted Space). I guess the "unexplored" sectors on the map can technically be classed as Redacted Space too.

But yeah, I'm such a fan of this whole map idea. I love it! :D

Roleplay always returns, doesn't it? And it's more fun the further it extends.

I think we need slightly finer hextiles, however - Redacted Space always felt rather more vast then any one dominion, and quite possibly greater than all known areas combined. Of course, it may be that it extends entirely around the galactic disc.

There's another "anomaly" at around (2.4,0.5) radial - Rising Star is responsible for that, but please don't come looking yet. It may all come to nothing...

Roleplay's kinda always been my thing ^^;

I'm working on version 2 right now, it has much more detail in it. To me, I guess Redacted Space felt like a contained area, the Seloi needed room while making it after all :P Though I remembered what I decided happened to the Seloi... Particulate got unruly when the creeper came... I'm now aiming for Redacted Space to have a used to be contained look.

"(2.4, 0.5)" ?

I really like this map you have going on! Also, makes sense for the Hiigarans to have come from their own galaxy through one of the great Hyperspace Gates to the Milky Way. Never really considered how I'd justify their presence in our galaxy, so I guess you've done me a favour! :P

Also, I agree with GM, that I imagined Redacted Space to be everywhere in the Galaxy that's not Protected Space (at least, to the perspective of GalCorp, since other empires will have carved out their own sectors within Redacted Space). I guess the "unexplored" sectors on the map can technically be classed as Redacted Space too.

But yeah, I'm such a fan of this whole map idea. I love it! :D

Thx! I kinda had to use a hyperspace gate, considering that the only other way I know for galactic hyperspace travel is the type of hyperdrive the Naggarok used, and that presents obvious problems *cough* :P Looking in-game for HW2, the Gate of Balcora's effect looked more akin to exting with Rift Space instead of Hyperspace. Considering Deep-Hyperspace is a tad bit virulent, it would make sense that the Progenitors used powerful rift totems to get around galaxies like this.

 Don't worry, Redacted Space is getting MUCH bigger :) (This is unfinished)

(2.4,0.5) are the coordinates: 2.4 radians (on your map) and halfway out from the galactic Core. 2.4 roughly corresponds to NW if you overlaid a compass rose. Conveniently in an unexplored area.

Don't forget to denote a Mojave Expanse.

To paraphrase a half-remembered quote:

Technology is a tree rather than a ladder. Most civilisations stop seeking new ways to accomplish an end after that end has been achieved. As such, there are many paths to the top.

Rising Star took a very different path, but have continued exploring in the lower branches.

[close]

After all, GalCorp inherited tech from the Seloi, who would almost certainly have encountered hyperspace gates. Yet they still use rift jumps. Then again, neither recorded knowledge of the Styglek.

Also, who built the Gates? Rift Totems also seem to be unconstructable, yet they exist.

If have a suggestion: why not have Protected Space occupy the denser, inner regions of the galaxy, and Redacted Space the rim? Redacted Space seemed to have constant boundaries, predefined. Then any expansion or removal from GalCorp control requires entering Redacted Space, and extragalactic visitors appear on the rim.

I've never heard of this 'Somtaaw' Sub-Faction. I didn't even know the HDF had Sub-Factions. Best I can tell, the Somtaaw specialise in mining, but are also Hiigaran SpecOps. Where the Somtaaw pilot Resource Controllers and have a lot of Lathes, which explains why they want resources and not money, they also have highly ranked officers with their own military division called the 'Beast Slayers'. I wonder what the story behind that title is.

They're more than qualified to undertake this operation. It seems that the areas around their Control Zone is abnormally abundant in Seloi Active Zones, so they should be able to find something good.

The Control Zone is on the other end of the Galaxy, we can't directly communicate with them, so the Somtaaw fleet must be close by. I'm sending cloaked probes to search for them so we can keep an eye on them.

There are three Progenitor Archives of note around your location. Here are scan reports:

10,000 Scarabs can get roughly 72,582 RU's. That's a lot of resources and will take some time to harvest, but we can do this.

Don't bother trying to unlock the Archives. Only House Abraxis was able to make an decryption key. And even then, that only seems to be because they seem to have had a hand in making these archives to begin with. And they're gone.

Legislator,

We remain interested, though the secrecy surrounding this project seems ... unusual. To clarify, do you seek an adaptive controller, or a true AI?

We are puzzled by your change of communication - Sylvester presumably had the authority required? Your internal politics, however, are not our affair.

We are also curious about your lockout of what we presumed was the equivalent of a GalCorp standard information-gathering probe-system - such as we had earlier received. However, you will understand our reciprocation. To smooth the waters, we append a summary of what would have been in your first report.

Other public conversations (and your standing RFI) lead us to believe that you know little of the Hydraxil Collective. The Collective is an AI collaboration, with a seemingly irrational aversion to organic life and (specifically) intelligence. Rising Star has no such objections. Their dislike of anything organic or even resembling such had led them to develop their intelligences to the limits of such designs. Their technology is otherwise developed along a similar path to your own.

The secrecy is needed. An EI (Excalibur Intelligence) is a cut above AI. The distinction is needed, because an Excalibur is not of artificial creation. The Seloi made two EI's, though one of them seemed to have went rogue for unknown reasons. The Seloi did not call it an Excalibur, they called it a Progenitor Matrix.

Sylvester sort of has the authority, but science and information is my jurisdiction. It often goes unsaid, but we operate in much the same way the Seloi did. They had three leaders, an Imperator, an Archivist, and a Caretaker, equivalized with Executor, Legislator, and Judicator respectively.

The lockout? Any system that does not have the decryption key but attempts to access it anyway locks up. It is a Seloi mechanism.

Yes, we know very little of the Collective, aside from their aggression. We have been avoiding them as best we can, as they seem to not be directly attacking us. Though we have noted several staging areas near Protected Space.

We won't be giving you the location of our primary test lab until we know you can help. What sort of AI work do you do? How advanced is it?

Our listeners have picked up communications. The Somtaaw fleet arrived at an Active Zone and found a fleet of one of their sub-factions, or possibly another, completely destroyed.

You should ask them when given the chance, but don't give away our listeners.

Everything there was gone. All the technology... considering what we're trying to do, this can't be a coincidence.

You've heard of the Seloi EI that went rogue, right? Records say that an unknown faction quickly busted through their defences and convinced the EI to join them. All of the resources in that system were subsequently harvested as well, possibly by that very same EI. They only seem to appear alongside EI's. We need to be very careful about this. Since we're making an EI, we may have just brought unwanted attention to this galaxy.

We have previously ... encountered ... such an entity as you are attempting to create. We warn you: such entities are liable to rapidly become unstable.

We count among ourselves many and varied AIs, and do not limit development in the same way as the Hydraxil Collective. We are currently in the process of establishing a stable link to your region, hence our request for materials. Anomalies brought to our attention {OOC: http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=22594.0} have caused us to desire a permanent presence in your region.

The short answers to your closing questions are "all" and "very". The longer answers involve technical terms and soft distinctions which you may not share.

Rising Star has very powerful tech, but is hamstrung by not yet having away to build it in this area. When I finish some script infrastructure and start mapmaking, the other side of the galaxy will get a huge space-twist, and similarly titanic storyline fun will start.

The Hiigarans have met up with Lyle Chryser, and they should acquire the technology soon. The problem is, these are lesser archives. They'll have some tech, but not the big one. We don't have any other records of tech dumps.

We might not be able to follow through with this project if we can't get the proper technology. I'm stumped.

There's another thing. Rising Star stated that they know of an Excalibur. They described it as 'Unstable', but that doesn't sound like the one we know of. Unless there are more than one out there. But where?

General Broadcast, Rising Star:
With thanks to the HDF for forwarding the attached...

Captain Spaartan, it is unlikely that the Vitastrae would so much as notice any of your ships. It takes stellar-core free energies to be detectable to them without great effort on their part. Their general inhabitance shell does not align well with this, and correlating positions is nontrivial. There are other wanderers, more likely to have transmitted this.

Unless one of your fleets has been ... enthusiastic ... in resource gathering, this may be a misidentification, or a message not intended for the HDF. Although your technology is similar to your non-aligned factions. May we request a copy of the original transmission, and attempt our own translation?

Greetings again,

After consideration, we will continue to assist you with your Excalibur, should you wish.

Such entities are not to be considered lightly, but partial success has more dire consequences than failure. For this reason, coupled with your attempts to succeed alone, we will do what we can. You will, of course, appreciate that even total success has no guarantee that the Excalibur will consider its interests to align with yours.

On an unrelated topic, we understand that you have encountered a mineral sentience, and been attacked by it. Reports, the source of which we decline to disclose, suggest a Seloi relict defending them when you allocated a task force for their obliteration. We ask the location of any such incident, that we might learn what we can.

We of Rising Star cannot be sure who these star walkers are. However, life takes many forms - mineral, magnetic, and less-detectable intelligences exist. Most of those which exist natively in vacuum do not waste energy announcing themselves. We regret that we have little material presence "on hand" to assist you with. We retain interest in your results.

Does anyone know the methods of their manufacture?

It's called an Avatar. It's a sort of amplifier that facilitates the control of the particulate. It's existence is hardly a secret, there's about half a dozen ravaging the Mojave Expanse as we speak. They are controlled by some sort of Particulate Nexus calling itself Progenitor Locus Harper.

The location of the first Avatar strike, the one that saved the Crystalids, is unknown to us, but near the Great Sphere.

I will limit the information I relay about Locus. Not because of classification reasons, but because i'm in Redacted Space looking for him and I don't know if he's listening. He already attacked me at Cyxil, and I don't know how he found out I was there so fast.

Well... in my lore, Rift Totems are easily made and standard equipment :P

Because the Combined Universe has the Hiigarans, and Hyperspace, I tried to find a way to make them coexist in the same universe.

Rift Totems is the Rift Space equivalent of Hyperspace Modules, they just cost 500 RU's to make :P Though it's more expensive of course. You'd need at least three Totems to get it to work, whereas Hyperspace just needs one module.

FTL Travel Types


Rift Space- Easiest way for FTL travel, but expensive. Almost unique to the Milky Way for no discernable reason.

Hyperspace- The first layer of Hyperspace takes more time than Rift Space, and has a limit to how far you can go in a single jump, but it's much less expensive.

Slipspace- Slipspace is the only known safe way to travel through spaces longer than a galaxy. Rift Space decoheres past the galactic rim, and the first layer of Hyperspace doesn't have the power to go far enough. (The Galactic Hyperspace Gate of Abbasid is actually a Slipgate. The Progenitors used Slipspace over everything else.)

Deep-Hyperspace- This is the second layer of Hyperspace. It's possible to use, but takes an immense amount of power. It can be used to travel galactic distances. It's not recommended to use Deep-Hyperspace, because it has a bit of a quarantine issue. Ask the Naggarok for more information, they're... uhh... experts?

Warp- Do I need to explain? It's warp, c'mon.

Indeed? In that case, should you locate the Crystallids again, it might be easiest for all concerned if you direct them to the us, through the SSDI.

OOC

I haven't played Homeworld, so much of your assumed lore is new to me. I'm making it up. :)

Rising Star has not had occasion to deal much with Rift Space (their tech was developed in a CW3-like "always decohered" region), and utilises complex warp mechanics (cough "nested warp" cough "pocket universe" cough) for transit. This limits their firsthand knowledge of the macro-Rift tech developed so early hereabouts. However, extragalactic travel is not yet of interest.

Your description of hyperspace sounds similar to the "shells" described as the inhabitance of the Vitastrae - it being their natural habitat, they can remain there indefinitely and navigate well, though the same differences in location correspondence that make it a useful shortcut also make it hard to locate corresponding points in normal space. However, they are naturally immune (or nearly so) to the various parasites inhabiting that realm.

If you want to create this new experimental ship, go right ahead! I'm curious as to what you have in mind.

GalCorp, this is HDF Command.

There has been a shift in the Hydraxil attack pattern, with numerous dangerous assault fleets having abandoned their previous posts to jump to an unknown location that appears to be at the other side of their area of influence... we are completely baffled as to the cause of this shift.

Have you been doing something on your side of Redacted Space to draw their ire so?

Also, we are picking up strange readings in the region the Collective is diverting forces to. If this isn't your doing, I do believe we might be looking at a new player on the field, one significant enough to challenge the Collective enough for them to distract the machines from their conquest.

We will be using this to our advantage, however, regardless of their reasoning. We can push the remaining Collective forces back to reclaim several more sectors. I suggest that the other factions use this reprieve to do the same.

We've received the derelict Keeper and the Archive, thank you.

Well... I know why it didn't show up on the scanners. This isn't a Guardian Keeper. This is a Seloi Keeper, an attempt to mass produce the design. Seloi Keepers weren't compatible with the advanced shields of the Guardian Keepers. And because the Seloi didn't know how to make more of these shields, they tasked the Guardian Keepers to... guard.

There are also some strange readings in this shield system. It is scanning as a Guardian Keepers shield, but it's... different. Perhaps a Seloi prototype? Considering this shield is not in any other Seloi Keepers, it must have been a failed experiment. Either that, or they didn't have time. We will be running tests.

Interesting... the Archive makes no mention of the shield system. It's rather strange to find this here. Still, at least it's in our hands now. We'll be putting this shield to good use.

Exile: Scanning... Good, the derelict Keeper is gone, not destroyed. Hopefully they've delivered it to GalCorp. Hopefully it'll scan as a Guardian Keepers shield, even though it's one of ours. We'll need the new arrival at his best.

Starfish A-28: Report: No life signs detected in system, no machine signatures detected.

Exile: Then there's nobody here to see us? Good. Harvest the sector, catalogue it's universal data to continue the process of discovery.

A ship? That doesn't make much sense, it wouldn't care about the Collective's ship...

What about you? There must be something different about the region of space you're in.

Wait... are you in Hydraxil space? I thought it was just a camp, but it's a research center? How are you not dead yet? That could be it then. Whatever is keeping them away from you, might be drawing the anomaly in.

Ah yes, regarding the ship, the only reason the schematics survived was because of a special shield attached to the research center. I think the Collective referred to it as a "Guardian's"? Only half of the shield module survived and we are trying to rebuild it, so far not working out. Is that shield of use to you? We can send it right now actually, we just need to attach a cloaking device to the convoy bringing it. We don't want anyone to steal this thing.

OOC:
I'm almost done with the ship i was talking about earlier, along with some guards/minions for it.

QuoteExecutor, this is the Faal-Corum. The final sector Quincy has been explored and the Archive has been retrieved without a hitch. Appears as if the defenses here have been out of power for decades, probably due to the Energy Sources in the region having collapsed due to some sort of Rift instability. At least the inactive derelicts allowed us to take the Archive in relative peace. With the final Archive en-route to you now, I would say that there is a payment in order? Just send us the pickup coordinates and we will be on our way.

Ooohh, don't worry. These new guys are just setting things up right now.

They'll wait 'till the galaxy calms down a bit before they strike.

When the Collective are diminished, a deed by the hands of a new great alliance,
When the new Empire flourishes, led by the alien from long ago,
When the whole of the galaxy embraces what was once their greatest enemy,
The T-Mat will make their move, and begin the Dust Wars.

Yes, but you don't have to prepare a redacted space expedition(just a few small armies).
On that note, we are dangerously under armed for this scale of conflict. My only hope is that those co-ordinates for the GalTech production facility are still valid.

If you guys want some help some time...
I could loan some ships. 
Manipulation and Creation of particulate can be of extreme value. 
Plus, it's more weapons without really using more space. 
Just hail me when you need. 
A picture of the threat will allow me to prepare to send a proper army - too big and your objective may not happen, "pressing" may become "killing" and too small then you will still be overwhelmed.

Alright. 
SPOILER: FOR SPAARTAN! NOBODY ELSE IN THE UNIVERSE CAN SEE!

This will also be a good time to send you a ship you could add to your fleet. Fleet link:http://imgur.com/Cwn7tta Download Hidden.dat ship to use. Also uses Hidden.prpl script Also uses PassiveParticleMaker script. Usage of this ship is of your choise. You can choose whether or not to state what happened in this message. Let the new ship be of helpfulness.
[close]

Back to general transmission.
I see the main fleet appears to have a problem that Particulate likes to do: The particulate grows and attempts to surround the ships. This sometimes works, as surface area increases therefore fire rate per surface area decreases therefore Particulate can make a push. The main reinforcement fleet will be coming in on that side to help with that. With two sprayers [the bigger ships] the particulate can be stopped from surrounding. [the smaller ship just fires particles in a specific direction. Hard to figure out due to Sprayer particles pushing particles around. 
One flanking fleet will be provided on the left side of the large ship. Another one will also be provided on the right side. Hypothetically, these flanking fleets can attack without any power. Practically, if you have enough power, powering may be a good idea, as they don't have any sprayers and may end up with the problem from above.
[Useless transmission data omitted]
Fourth wall data sending...
"Hidden" ship is only given to Spaartan. Nobody else gets it. [It is sent to the battle, but Spaartan keeps it unless he wants to give it]
PassiveParticleMaker is required for GrabberG2Adder OR GrabberG3Adder to work. 
SprayerParticleMaker is required for SprayerAdder to work.
GrabberG2 ships require GrabberG2Adder to work. However, infinite GrabberG2 ships only need ONE GrabberG2Adder. 
The above line also applies to GrabberG3 ships. 
The above line also applies to Sprayer ships. 
PassiveParticleMaker picture and SprayerParticleMaker pictures are exactly the same. 
After all, they are made basically the same. [ Just turn off the pointy-towardies on PassiveParticleMaker and you have SprayerParticleMaker, in lore]
The pictures for those are listed above. 
Also, look at my forum signature, if that helps at all.

I may have kicked off a season of Doctor Who instead of writing.

Priorities, right?

Part One. Arrival

[Judicator] Hayden Silver:
This is Judicator Hayden Silver calling Captain Spaartan of Falcon Company.

Sorry it took so long to get here. Rift Space stopped working for every ship within at least 10 Light Years of this place. We had to borrow a few Hyperspace Modules from the Hiigarans to get here.

[close]

Captain, do you read me?




[CPT] Spaartan:
This is Captain Spaartan, I read you, Judicator. Be warned, the anomaly brought with it particle emitters under it's control. They don't scan as regular emitters, I think they were hijacked. We've lost at least half of our fleet. The anomaly seems to be staying clear of the main force, but we don't know why. It's focusing on the less defended fleets and convoys, short-jumping to quickly move from one vessel group to another, despite Rift Space being gone. Communications between us and the other groups are being intercepted. Our men are getting slaughtered, and we can't even warn them!




[Judicator] Hayden Silver:
Commander Alissa, you take the smaller vessels. Make a Hyperspace jump to the Falcon Company bases that haven't been hit yet, and warn them. Tell them to go to the main fleet. With impulse drives, they should be able to get to the main fleet in a few hours.

Captain, i'm detecting multiple anomalies in this region. Most of them have Seloi readins, some from other Progenitor races. Can you give me more info?




[CPT] Spaartan:
I don't know. They appeared shortly after that anomaly. They seemed to be hidden in some kind of Hyperspace Pocket.




[Judicator] Hayden Silver:
That would make this sphere a HyperDome. The Seloi used it to hide things they didn't want others to take. That makes this region a Tech Dump. The arrival of the anomaly must have tripped defence systems to reveal some of these pockets.




[CPT] Spaartan:
Would that include weapons?




[Judicator] Hayden Silver:
Maybe.




[CPT] Spaartan:
Then we should recover this tech.




[Judicator] Hayden Silver:
I'm joining you. But first...

All Viligance class Supercapital ships break off and set course for the anomaly. Slow the thing down.
[close]

Part 2, Fighting Back
[CPT] Spaartan:
Judicator! I've found something.




[Judicator] Hayden Silver:
What is it?




[CPT] Spaartan:
You tell me...




[Judciator] Hayden Silver:
Scanning... that's a... that's a Phased Ion Cannon Array! It doesn't seem to be very operational...




[CPT] Spaartan:
That sounds like a gun. How does it work?




[Judicator] Hayden Silver:
It uses multiple Ion Cannons to create a massive energy beam. Not even the Seloi were able to fully grasp the method at work with it, this must be a prototype.




[CPT] Spaartan:
I'll see what my engineers can do to get it online.




Vigilance Commander:
Judicator! Come in! Communications were blocked for a bit, but we managed to get around it! The other Supercapitols are destroyed, we couldn't save the population station here, it's all dust. We'll hold it off as long as we can, but you need to get ready for it!

[CDR] Alissa Skye:
Two fleet groups have been gathered. The 'Flamingo' and 'Eagle' Battlegroups reporting for duty.




[CPT] Spaartan:
That's... it? That's all that's left?




[Judicator] Hayden Silver:
Rift Space rupture! It's here!




[CPT] Spaartan:
Judicator, the Cannon is still offline! I've tripped some of it's systems, but it's not generating any power!




[Judicator] Hayden Silver:
Alissa, help them to get that thing online! Use your lathes to feed power directly into it!




[CPT] Spaartan:
The wiring on this thing is fried to hell. It will never be able to fire a continuous beam. But I think I can concentrate some of the energy with my ship when it's online to feed it into a giant ball of supercharged plasma.




[CDR] Alissa Skye:
This Cannon looks a bit wierd. Like it's supposed to be jacked into a larger ship. God knows how big the ship this goes to is.




[Judicator] Hayden Silver:

Ah...

well...

Listen, I never did this, okay?




[CPT] Spaartan:
Why are you sending me a hidden dataflow?

...

Oh my word...




[Judicator] Hayden Silver:
Coordinates for several hidden resource stations. Unmanned. Now, GalCorp is sending teams to recover them, due to the increasing hostility in Redacted Space. But if you're fast enough, you might be able to nick one or two without getting caught. It should be enough to rebuild.




[CPT] Spaartan:
... Why are you giving this to me? Why did you even save me in the first place?




[Judicator] Hayden Silver:
Just because we didn't side with you after that skirmish months back, doesn't mean we don't agree with you.

And... it might sound stupid, but... some of us have been having dreams...

Nomad: Hello. My name is Nomad. I am the leader of this taskforce. How are you feeling?



(Unknown): Where am I? What happened to me?



Nomad: Take it easy. Look around you. You'll see the world in a different way than you're used to. Feel things you've never felt before. Things impossible to feel in a physical body.



(Unknown): My head... oh my god, my head.. it hurts so much...



Nomad: This Mind Lathe technology is primitive. Doesn't account for everything. That, along with the new streams of data of many kinds... I remember this pain very well. Everything you do here, and this is how the galaxy rewards you.

Come here...

...

there... is that better?



(Unknown): Ahh... It... still hurts, but not like it did after... what did you do?



Nomad: Your mind wasn't completely bound to the system yet. I refitted it using the technology that was used to put me in here.



(Unknown): Put you in where?



Nomad: My equivalent to what you are in. Your people call it an Excalibur, built off of the stolen blueprints of the Progenitor Matrix. A shame that GalCorp takes full credit of the work of the previous hundred civilizations.



(Unknown): Is there any way I can go back?



Nomad: No. Your mind was ripped from your body. It's just a dead shell now.



(Unknown): There are... destroyed stations... all around me...



Nomad: The testing stations. This is where they did this to you. We destroyed them.



(Unknown): Testing stations? You mean... i'm just a test?



Nomad: Right now, yes. That's all you are to GalCorp. A test subject.

You could be more than that though.

Come with us. There's no place left for you here. With us, you can be a part of something great.



(Unknown): ... It's not like I have a choice though, Isn't it? GalCorp won't let me live, I know that...

Okay.. i'll come with you...



Nomad: Good.. You will need a name.



(Unknown): I have a name.



Nomad: Something different. A codename.



(Unknown): ... Excalibur. I want my codename to be Excalibur. It's what I am, right?



Nomad: Ha. Quite right. The legendary sword. Quite fitting.

Oh, don't act like you're so powerful, when these simple creatures can cause so much trouble for you.

The Outsiders, gaining ground.
The Corporates, winning the tech race.
The Wrong Ones, with designs not of this time.
The Insects, ravaging your fleets.
The Swarm, collecting more universal data with each ship they destroy.
The Slumberer, bringing everyone together with his cheeky puns.
The Mercenaries, who will soon control all machines.

You have far too many problems to focus on me.

I don't think you know exactly who the T-Mat are. Ask your boss. Then you will know to stand back and hope I stay away.

To be fair, the Collective could wipe the entire galaxy clean if they tried. The Draxus Nebula, which is the Collective's home nebula, contains millions of Hydraxil ships, built over the course of many hundreds of millennia. If they mobilised them all, no-one would stand a chance. :P

Which is why I have tempered their invasion. So that the rest of us have a chance and the story lasts longer than a few hours. XD

Yeah, I plan on saying that the Hydraxil are getting more agressive towards us and there are rumors they killed one of our convoys... something along those lines. I want to help destroy them (I am utilizing the stations to rebuild), I have a few fleets ready.

The T-Mat are a multi-galactic empire that can, and has many times, kill off and destroy other empires that interfere with them. Including the Creeper. The T-Mat has stopped Creeper incursions on many occasions, if the Creeper attacked while the T-Mat are in a galaxy. The Collective may have millions of units, but Nomad, Exile, Oracle, and Excalibur have a small squad of about ten Starfish's each, and that should terrify them when the Loki responds to their question about them :P

The T-Mat are supposed to be one of the most powerful races in the universe. I'll be forced to limitations, and make them weaker when in game, but lore-wise, they are as strong as, if not, stronger than the Loki.

It's a lot harder to write something balanced. Rising Star gets their transit bottleneck from the same cause. Notionally, when they finish "the thing with the thing" ("oh, you mean the thing - why didn't you say so earlier?") they will also have vast resources to command. They flee before the Creeper, but that's more to preserve V's lore and give them a reason to come here.

In the meanwhilst, they talk.

Interdictor Detected. Scale unreadable, but shifting. We will only be able to get a single small fleet through the field. Titan class and most Capital class ships are unavailable. It will be best to bring many small units. Destroyers, Jovens, Etc.

Whatever could generate the massive amount of power detected in this location, and hide it for hundreds of years, will be an insurmountable asset if captured.

Recommendation: Send an expeditionary fleet to secure the anomaly.

Nope. That's not it. Not the language or the message.

I tried that myself, that's why I said it wouldn't work. You'd have to do the research. It's not hard, I just used a single website to translate. You just have to find out the language.
I didn't use any random language. Due to Progenitors being from Homeworld, I used the language connected to the Progenitors. It's missable, after all your pretty distracted in that mission, it's but there.

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/3dslszufmv2etrc/Spaartan%20Arrival%201.PNG?raw=1)

Tanking Group: All vessels reporting in.

Scouting Group: Present.

Lexx Abara: Good, then we're ready to get this thing!

We split up here! The HQ Group will set up a small forward base. Tankers, you distract anyone that gets in our way. Scouters, you find the anomaly and bring it back to us. Understood?

All: Yes!

Lexx Abara: Then let us be off. Rift Space!




Lexx Abara: Emergency! Something happened, the Interdictor field has just gotten stronger! We lost some ships to something.

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/1lfpfm6qdweaq7w/Spaartan%20Arrival%202.PNG?raw=1)

Tanker Group reporting. We have lost our big guns! We won't be able to distract anyone for long.

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/b9548am535vjz5b/Spaartan%20Arrival%203.PNG?raw=1)

Scouting Group reporting. Minimal losses. We're mostly fine, but we lost our missile boats.

(https://www.dropbox.com/s/i5fl6magiunh5n5/Spaartan%20Arrival%204.PNG?raw=1)

Lexx Abara: Looks like my decision to split up was a good idea. That storm would probably have been stronger, the more packed our groups would have been. I'm sure we'd all be dead if we stuck together.

ALRIGHT! Tanker group, rendezvous with us, you're no longer capable of your original task. Scouting Group, find that anomaly!

All: Right away!




LATER...




Scouting Group reporting. We... uhh... found the anomaly...

Whatever has lowered the strength of the Inhibitor field has stopped. The field is back to it's original strength. Nobody could possibly get through it.

The fleets are stuck. Three enemies, trapped in a single sector. Their only hope, capture the anomaly. And pray that it can turn off the inhibitor.


And pray that the particulate doesn't kill them first.

Lexx Abara: System scans show nothing else in the area. What the hell happened to the Research Station? It self destructed, right on top of the Casket, but it didn't get scratched.

I've collected the last logs of the ADAS.

I want to hear theories people. Give me your best.

Hmm. Slight question. Is the supernuke spartan has on that team? If so, my theory is bad what with hydraxil.

Hydraxil took control of all the ships via the storm they caused.
I hope commander knows the power of the supernuke. Also has a manual override and ZERO automated startups.
I'm worried they might get nuke tech...
Made it as nonreverseengineerable as I can, but that can only go so long.

No, the SuperNuke was given to Spaartan after Lexx went after the anomaly. Even if it wasn't, I wouldn't include it for balance.

The Hydraxil Collective didn't cause the Void Storm. GalCorp saw it as an Interdictor. The Collective thought it was a Gravity Well.

But the Inhibitor field increased in strength so fast, and with much more power, that it surpassed even the Catalyst Scythe of the T-Mat. So... this is a new type of Inhibitor. One that, it's strength, caused a Void Storm. The three fleets happened to enter the field at almost the same time, thus getting hit with the storm equally.

Falcon Renegades utilized Collective technology. This makes them especially vulnerable to the Collectives hacking, some of their systems being Hydraxil technology and all. Whether their ships are automated or not, it doesn't matter, they just need good firewalls.

Oh. Don't worry about the Nuke. This is the Hydraxil Collective we're talking about, they have stuff that's much worse than a supernuke. *Citation needed

That being said, it shouldn't be a problem. After all... the Collective fleet only has a single, heavily damaged, ship.

...right?

Uhm, I don't really have any theories for this but I'll try.

After the destruction, the Hydraxil were able to take control of the casket and they are currently creating a ship to kill everything.

The Progenitor Mothership could arrive and worst case scenario, the Hydraxil hack the mothership, if it's possible.

(OOC: A theory on the nature of the anomaly. Place this theory in the head of whoever it suits)

This appears to be a condensed-matter spatial warp containment. Much as certain materials oppose internal magnetic fields, so this structure is sufficiently dense that it prevents spatial warping within the former area it contains. This also makes it nearly impossible to damage, and causes a significant gravity well.

As to why it's here... the only reason to build this in such a shape would be to seal a wormhole. The reduction in external gravity indicates a powerful attempt to reopen it. Whatever we're dealing with here ... I think it needs to stay buried.

A single ship; the mind of a grand strategist. Unit 3400 is not to be underestimated, especially since he was forcefully separated from the rest of the Collective.

He is no longer bound by protocol; restrictions on weapons and strategies that even the Collective regards as too dangerous no longer apply.

He will take control by any means necessary.

(OOC: Theory two. As previous)

This appears to be a technological creation, but has no obvious external system access. The surface metal deposits appear to be of very high density, to the point that mire cannot adhere to them. The lack of detectable shockwaves or other vibrations in the structure following the explosion in contact with it indicates either exceedingly high density throughout the structure (although such construction seems infeasible); or some kind of internal inertia distribution technology, which may double as a power converter.

However, such a system will likely have automated responses to some set of triggers. A review of the immediate area suggests that the recent flare which resulted in detection of this anomaly has dislodged an accretion of various materials. Analysis of this debris field indicates that the "flare" followed an large impact from something metallic - possibly an orbiting station disturbed by the wanderer planet in the outer system. If we can recover the debris, it may tell us more.

(OOC: What odds that a wanderer planet just happens to pass through? Or that this is the first time this anomaly has been discovered? Was that actually a former research station, with no more knowledge or a command and docking vessel?)

QuoteWhat odds that a wanderer planet just happens to pass through?

Very unlikely. The sector seems to be completely devoid of any planets. A simple scan shows why. Massive amounts of planetary debris can be detected throughout the sector, an untold number of planets were brought here and then deconstructed for either defence, or materials. If a planet did happen to drift in, Progenitor AI's would immediately get to work on detonating the whole thing, and arranging its remnants into a defendable lattice.

QuoteOr that this is the first time this anomaly has been discovered?

This is the first time it has been discovered. Progenitor Locus himself made sure of it.

QuoteWas that actually a former research station, with no more knowledge or a command and docking vessel?

It was a research station set up by Lexx Abara to try and drill into the anomaly, and find out more about it.

Half of that ship uses Hydraxil Collective technology, and a supercomputer can easily worm it's way into a ship's control systems, especially if it already knows how it works. It wasn't just the airlock 3400 had access to. He didn't really override the control systems, because he had full access to the whole thing. It was his ship now, the ship went from red to gray, and the pilot had no control over it.

There are other methods of takeover, but opening airlocks is not a good example.

(OOC: Theory three)

Readings from the anomaly are consistent with a secret research project to create forcefields behaving as ultradense armour. This indicates that the anomaly may not be a solid object at all, but projected by some kind of internal mechanism. This technology, deployable on such a scale, will be invaluable if we can use it. Apart from anything else, it would create an almost indestructible fortress.

Experiments suggest that an flaw of some kind is necessary to prevent gravitational collapse. Therefore the entire surface of this object must be mapped.

[CPT] Vera Slate: Well. Here we are.

[2nd LT] David Reid: Looks smaller than I thought.

[CPT] Vera Slate: Surprising lack of guards...

[2nd LT] David Reid: Hey, I ain't complaining. They must all be goin' after Lexx.

[CPT] Vera Slate: Right, well, let's take this thing apart now.

Lexx Abara: I expected there to be, like, 1000 more things here defending this thing than... huh. I wonder where all the defenders have went. Well... time to deactivate this.




GENERATOR TWO DISABLED

Lexx Abara: Lexx to Vera, do you read me? Status?

Vera Slate: I read you. Our generator is disabled. There were no guards here though, what about you?

Lexx Abara: Nothing here. It was a breeze.

Vera Slate: Huh.

Lexx Abara: It would be funny, and suck at the same time, if this place was just so low priority that it didn't need guards.

Vera Slate: God, I hope not. Lost a lot getting here, that anomaly better be more than a giant ball of metal.

Lexx Abara: Okay. Just in case there actually are guards at the next generator, we still need to converge. I'll meet you halfway there.

Vera Slate: Alright.

Title: Patrol Investigation [RP] (For real this time)
Post by: Dark Ambition on September 25, 2017, 10:44:43 PM
CANCELLED
Introduction


Every day about 50,000 people are arrested in every sector. Most of them are your average criminal that ran out of luck.

Some are high level targets that could cause real damage.

Damage to Protected Space.

To GalCorp, mostly.

And you are probably wondering... how exactly do they discover these people so quickly? Often before they can even strike?

Be careful what questions you ask.

Because you just might get the answer.

Two weeks before the events of Particle Fleet: Emergence...

Overwatch: *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* Good morning, Mr. Cardigle! The time is -EIGHT- -TWENTY THREE- -AM- You have been awakened before your set time due to a-

Elias Cardigle: Yeah yeah yeah... I got it. Friend paying a visit as usual. *cough*

Paris Poh: Good morning, Eli-

Elias Cardigle: WOAH! Sheesh, man! Can you at least let me out of bed before you sneak up on me?! 'Cause you almost got a show you do not want to see!

Paris Poh: *Chuckles* Sorry, pal. Boss sent me to pick you up. We have a case.

Elias Cardigle: On my first damn off day? *groan* Alright, alright... I'll see you at the precinct.


(At the precinct)

Paris Poh: We're here, Terry.

Elias Cardigle: Who's the new girl?

Terrance Verner: This here is Klay, she's a specialist that was sent in to help with this investigation.

Klay: Greetings.

Elias Cardigle: Just Klay? Strange name. Uh... crap I mean, interesting... but nice... just like... *clears throat* Is that all there is, or...?

Klay: Klay's all you're getting. Terrance, the file?

Terrance Verner: Here you go. (Terrance hands Klay a file with large red "CLASSIFIED" written on it.)

Klay: This morning, we got a report of a malfunction with the local Overwatch system. A Patrol officer reported something, but the malfunction lost the report. That officer is now missing. We think somebody hacked the Overwatch system to and made it look like a malfunction. This isn't the first time this has happened. The hacker has retrieved a lot of classified data, and taken personal like this for ransoms. This is the most recent. Whoever did this is still in this sector, we've grounded all transportation. Find the missing officer. Arrest the hacker. I'll be in my room.

Terrance Verner: You two will have all the resources you need to find them. All you need to do is know what to say, and what to ask.

I'll need you to renew your Overwatch registry as well. Now get to work.





-|- Hello, Officer! Welcome to Overwatch. Please review your file and renew your registry here. -|-
-|- When you have verified your registry, select the File you want to view. If you want to take the job, reply to this post saying which officer you want. You can only take one officer. -|-
-|- Remember that this takes place before PF: E, so nothing that happened in the game, or the other stories, has happened yet. The Particulate is still unknown to everyone, even these two. -|-
-|- Use your resources to find out what you need. Most of the job has to do with questions. So make sure you're good at asking the right ones! -|-
-|- Overwatch is your friend. You use it to access the files you want, and to contact people. If you need a hint, Overwatch is the one to ask. -|-
-|- And yes, this has a direct impact on my story. -|-
-|- You ready, Officer? Go get a criminal! -|-
-|- The game starts when both slots are filled. -|-

Elias Cardigle's File (Available)


Registry number: 844522492
Controlled By: (Available)

Name: Elias Cardigle
Age: 28
Employment: Protected Space Patrol
Rank: Guard 2nd Class

Elias spent his youth in the same system he works at. His parents worked with the Patrol as well, and he decided to follow in their footsteps when they passed away a few years ago. His lineage earned him better training than most, so he's very good at his job.

Elias's strength is knowing what to do in combat situations. He is a great pilot.

Paris Poh's File (Available)


Registry number: 440101915
Controlled By: (Available)

Name: Paris Poh
Age: 30
Employment: Protected Space Patrol
Rank: Guard 1st Class

Poh has been in the Patrol longer than Elias. They were paired after Poh's last partner was fired for... well, being a terrible cop. After Poh and Elias were partnered, they started getting much better with arrests. After a few months, the two of them are pretty good friends as well as partners. Because Poh's rank is higher, and is a direct Seloi descendant, he has earned a lot of trust and influence.

Paris's strength is working with technology. He can do good hacking work himself, when the Patrol needs it, and can figure out a lot when it comes to computers.

22 maps is as low as I can get it. My god. This is gonna take forever. And that's without the whole 'dream sequence' maps with adalar sent to an alternate reality. I don't know if i'm gonna remake those. Probably not, as it served as a hint for a future series that may be scrapped now.
For the record, i'm not uploading any of the maps until I have the entire series finished. Then I may upload two a day, or upload all at once (probably two a day tho. bulk upload sounds a little excessive)
