ALIVE. GOD- (starts swearing in all languages known to man, while punching a table)
Sim. Sim. Sim? Sim! SIM. CALM DOWN DAMMIT. (Slaps sim) Your erratic behaviour willn't bring Samson back. We need to think, not throw a tantrum.

... right. But we dont have to worry about the broken screen, it heals itself.

yes, but that is wasted energy, you know?
oh for crying out loud, our mothership has reactors. Healing screens is the smallest energy consumer compared to a square metre of hull.

if these guys are coming, we need to prepare ourselves. Perhaps call that Decagon guy for help.

good idea, Cole. It seems to be the most logical thing to do. After all, who knows how big their fleet might be? I mean, look at Exile's ships! They are MASSIVE.
Good thing that they brought attention to our shipyard's limits. (Currently being upgraded). Anyways, connect the mothership to the Beacon. We need to send a message to Decagon.

There's been an outbreak.

You know how to deal with it. Good luck.

Right. Larcwyde, Zosimos, i'm afraid we're going to have to cut this interaction short.

Continue with your work, i'll be back to pick up the Progenitor when I can.

Farewell.

This is Fleet Commander Decagon, reading you loud and clear.

Damn machines have been terrorizing everyone in their way for months now, and we cannot sit idly by whilst they prepare to hit yet another one of our allies. Unfortunately, the majority of our forces are pre-disposed with other assignments crucial in holding the tide against the Hydraxil threat...

Actually, scratch that, I might have an idea. There is a growing taskforce of new friendlies that have recently been freed from subjugation. I will see to it that they are immediately routed to the sectors under your jurisdiction, so as to prevent the Hydraxil Collective invading without opposition.

Do not worry about payment, we have no need for merged vessels or credits of any kind. Instead, we tend to trade in units of raw materials, which we call Resource Units. If you have any RU's to spare, I'm sure my Resource Appropriations Officer will be able to establish a trade route with you.

Fleet Command, out.

-------------------------------

Fleet Commander Decagon: I'm sure this task won't be too difficult for you, Halmiir?

Cmd Halmiir: I can handle this. Three Nodes and twelve Motherships have already gathered for the jump to hyperspace.

Fleet Commander Decagon: Good. Though don't be surprised if the locals get spooked at the sight of you.

Cmd Halmiir: That would only become a problem if they start shooting first.

Fleet Commander Decagon: Transmit our HDF signatures the moment you drop out of hyperspace, they should recognize that as friendlies. Good luck, Commander.

-----------------------------------

*Mere hours later, the new defenders arrive at the Tierra Prima sectors.*

Cmd Halmiir: Attention, Tierra Prima forces. This is Commander Halmiir of the Hydraxil Cooperative, here to defend you from the wrath of the Collective on behalf of the Hiigara Defence Force. Worry not, though we may look like the Collective, we have been freed from the Prime Construct's grasp and now actively seek to protect others from the same fate that befell us.

My Partner Zosimos is unavailable at the moment, so i will be the one speaking for now.

resource units huh? We are on a strict need of those right now for both building and feeding our civilians.(disclaimer: not building our civilians. Their homes. Just in case you may take that literally, which would be a logical assumption.) Although we are on a shortage of RUs, the farming of anti-particulate-related structures is blooming! Not to mention that Project A-P is nearly done, so our understanding of anti-particulate will exponentially increase. If it suffices, we will trade anti-emitters in exchange for RUs.
Do you consider this proposition fair?

it is a pleasure to meet you, Halmiir. Perhaps you will be the first outsider to test our ship merging shipyard?

Greetings friends, I am Resource Appropriations Officer Michael S'jet. Fleet Command said to answer this call, and rightly so.

We have been capturing a wide variety of Particulate structures over the course of our campaign, and have been studying them for months now. I'm sure I can wrench some Emitters, Doppel and Ship Constructors, and Stunner Reactors from the clutches of the egghead kiiths for trade. Much as people don't want to admit it, we are in dire need for RU's to keep our frontline fleets at combat readiness. We usually get shipments through the Abbasid Gate, the hyperspace gate that led us to this galaxy, though there have been some issues back home that can cause delays. This, as you can imagine, results in shortages during the constant fighting with Hydraxil fleets throughout this region.

Therefore, I propose the establishment of a hyperlane, a sort of hyperspace highway that makes shipment of materials easier for both of us. A scout vessel will be deployed as soon as we can reach an agreement on this.

Also, as a gesture of goodwill, Fleet Command has authorized the transfer of all the research we have collected on the particulate structures we have captured. I'm sure that will be a great boon to your own research.

I think we can arrange a trade of resources. 
Where are you located? I'll begin going to your location for the resource swap immediately.
My energy signature will be strong, at least particles seem to stop then continue once my energy signature appears. 
Being my planet is composed of selfregrowing ship hull, I think an exchange of Crystal and Anti Particle would be best. What do you say... A rate of 1 anti particle per Crystal hull? 
 
I can also turn emitters into ship weapons, so that may be of use.

Greetings S'jet. It is a pleasure to meet you.


uhh... a hyperlane?
(yes, sim.) But how do we get to build such thing? We are not yet familiarized with such construct.

a trade of information seems most logical. Through recent experimentation, we have developed a lathe reconfiguration which allows for a chance to convert emitters into anti-emitters. Perhaps giving you the reconfig.
code as a trade proves to be most benefitial.

..yeah. that. ...we will be waiting for your response.

Sending mail to: Tierra Prima Collective 
Hello! I believe I'm at the correct coordinates. I've already loaded the inside of the planet with particles, so ships will be invisible. 
My planet should have a bunch of shards orbitting the planet: This appears to be because the natural crystal growth is from the crystals launching out smaller crystals then going back to the original planet using gravity. A smart use of increasing surface area for more growth, if I say so myself.
I'm sending out a few hammers with some crystal. I'll let you try it out and see if you want to try using it for a ship hull. 
[DATA SENT] 
That's how we turn it into a ship hull. Before that, it seems to react like normal metallic land, with all types of particles bouncing off of it. 
Oh, you were worried about me warping in too close? No, the warp in is way too expensive and difficult to get a precise warp for a constantly changing, moving, planet with people on it. 
No, we simply warped in closeby and we have huge planetary engines, potentially even enough to destroy an asteroid belt or drill a hole straight through a planet. 
Lastly: I believe you wanted to study a particulate hole? Those are particularly hard to make. If you can get 25000 particulate into a single unit of space, one is created, though. Even with your powers of controlling Particulate, Particulate holes are.... sort-of particulate, but may not react in the same way as a particle. I'd suggest you keep it locked up well, as Particulate holes are, being sentient, quite rebellious and will try to escape to space. 
Try not to keep any humans around it, unless you completely trust them. At 100,000 Particulate, the particle hole can control any human being within an AU, and at a million particulate, if a human that the hole likes touches it, then the human will gain full control over the particle hole. I used to be human myself - but I liked the particle hole, and it liked me, so we merged.
