The Virus

[Error]

The two Commonwealth ships, prepping to jump to hyperspace, caught flashes of the EE/NeoRome battle on sensor probes, and altered course to coem in behind the EE vessels.
Exiting hyperspace, they unleashed a full nuclear barrage into the EE fleet, and began evasive manuvers.

[Ivan2006]

The nuclear attack was evaded by the Typhoon-class ships (They are ESCORT carriers, after all. In fact, they are more agile than an average fighter), making them target NeoRoman ships or just fly off into space while the EES Yana used its plasma and laser weapons to shoot down the incoming warheads.
Only three missiles hit the EE vessels, but were blocked by their shields. (seriously, you think nukes/thermonukes are still gonna be instakill weapons in something about a thousand years from RL? Nope.)

GGM Saxon: Sir, those are Commonwealth ships. Should we shoot them down?
SGM Kintobor: Yes, take them down and then focus on the Neoroman forces. They obviously didn´t listen to our demands and the operational capability of the Virus-fighting teams is essential.

Four of the eight Typhoon-class ships turned around and engaged tactical cloak, making any sensor reading useless by randomizing the path signals take, making their signature and position readings change randomly.
They then moved around the Commonwealth ships and fired their Wave Motion Guns.

The Commonwealth cruisers, though small, had more than enough shield power to take the EE attack. They returned it by releasing drones and unloading flak into local space.
Markus directed the fight from the Ascension. "Give me tac-scans of those 'phoons and self-destruct those nukes. I want those drones hitting anything not NeoRoman or Commonwealth."

The Nighthawk began random laser strikes, firing low-power lasers in random directions, several hundred times per second. With any luck at all, the EE ships would be designated long enough for a plamsa beam to hit.

[Ivan2006]

OOC: Sorry, but who is your Marcus? Definetly not the researcher-guy, that one is on the ship being boarded by the EE...

[Error]

OOC: Markus Error, Prime minister of the Futurecraft Commonwealth.

[Ivan2006]

OOC: Oh.
BIC: The EES Yana turned around, now facing one of the Commonwealth ships.
It timed it´s attack with the four Typhoon-class vessels and fired all of their main weapons (6 Wave Motion Guns and 1 MAC in total) simultaniously at one of the commonwealth cruisers.

[Error]

The Nighthawk's shields took the hits, but collapsed. The commander initiated an abandon ship order, and set all the systems to automatic. The ship began firing at anything not identified as friendly, meaning it attempted to track the hundreds of randomized sensor signatures.

[Professor Fenway]

OOC: Obviously you haven't been reading Iv. First of all, NeoRome's core is BLUE, not red. I showed this as Omega warped to a blue NeoRome and was attacked, while we warped to a red NeoRome and were taken custody. Second, All of the prisoners are already on the CAPITAL, Antioch, on the planet itself, essentially the most highly fortified area on the planet. You can't just jump in and take them like that. Third, you are in an ALTERNATE FUCKING UNIVERSE! Think about it. Let's say Kintober somehow got to the alternate universe, Da?

BIC:

Several alarms went off just as Markus entered the interrogation chamber. An intercom spoke up. "Hierarch Fenway, several EE ships just jumped into orbit, the lead flagship appears to be carrying Ivan Kintober!"

Fenway stood up. "Have we checked with the EE?" He asked.

"Yes sir, Ivan's still at Mobius."

"*!" He turned to Markus. "Did you order this?" Markus shook his head. "Well, it's your mess. Come with me, we're going to the Ragnarov." Fenway got up and exited with several guards. Markus followed.

//5000 KM Above the Surface//
Several NeoRoman ships were already engaging the fleet, quickly responding to the demise of the unprepared ships. The Ragnarov was among it, with explicit orders not to destroy the dreadnought, only disable. The captain, replacing Fenway until he arrived, turned around as a sensor result piped up.

"Sir, their shields are only occupying six quantum states!" Said the sensor operator.

"Six?"The captain asked. "There's 18 states! This should be easy." He turned on the intercom. "Tune the Fusion Coil splicers to 20,000 Gigahertz and fire on the escort ships!" Several red-pulse lasers shot out of the Ragnarov. They impacted the nearest escort ship. The shields completely collapsed around the beam pulse. The ship exploded. Each escort ship was taken down as the beams pierced their shields and destroyed them, until only the Halberd was left. The ships ceased fire. Fenway, shortly followed by Markus, marched up to the bridge and submitted a communication to the Halberd. The Ragnarov stood by.

[Ivan2006]

Sorry, but I thought the information/evidence of the NeoRoman forces was corrupted by the virus.
If the researchers with Marcus are actually in another universe than the EE forces, every post since my ships attacked the NeoRoman forces is kinda obsolete.
Also, I didn´t know what "blue core" and "red core" meant.
I thought it meant some kind of reactor status, as NeoRome is essentially a giant fusion reactor with people living on top.
Now, what does "blue" and "red" actually mean?

[Vinyl]

Blue and red are areas the of the visible light spectrum. I assume the alternative reality's change was the designers of the fusion core picked red instead of blue?

[Professor Fenway]

OOC: Just fixed that. Alternate universes. The new one has a LOT of quantum states, so the core (And most of the pulse weapons that are normally blue). Red means alternate, blue means normal. I'll say that Ivan somehow got his forces to your place through the same anomaly from the Lyat system.

[Ivan2006]

Makes sense.
So there is an anomaly in the Lyat system that can make ships get into another universe?

[Prototype]

Omega brought the Bruiser frigate closer to the station, but noticed that the temperature regulation systems were malfunctioning, which was strange considering that the thermostat was working perfectly.

"Bloody virus"

Omega was no longer vulnerable, but the crew of the station still were.

Omega hailed the primerion, explaining that the ship was infected, and that the crew on board may not be able to purge the virus, for the ships were designed so that no foreign action could alter the internal computer systems, so the only option was annihilation.

Omega explained his immunity to the virus and pretty much everything else, and told the Primerion that if they fired at him, he would survive rather easily, though the crew were sceptical with this, they agreed to fire, in order to prevent the station becoming contaminated.


Omega stood in the airlock, he had moved the ship well away from the station, and was preparing to bail out of the craft before the Primerion fired.

3...
2...
1...

An intense flash of blue light, as the bruiser was ripped apart by the Primerion's blast.

Omega activated the thruster unit, and began making his way to the station

[Crash Override]

Spoiler:

Hope: "Well, I´ve been working on Project MEALSTROM.
It´s basically a giant de-engineering and adaption project that was responsible for most of the EE´s successes in psionic engineering.
It was launched over 80 Years ago as a joint-effort project of the Overland and the United Federation, two of the six nations that later turned into the EE.
After piece returned to Mobius, the project was continued, leading to the development of psionic scanners, manipulators and weapons as well as prototypes of generators, energy weapons and FTL drives.
We are currently working on a special form of cloak that does not hide but change the readings.
Early versions that just make the readings useless were already used in the Typhoon-class.
I was the leading computer expert and worked alongside several other great scientists from other sciences who I learned quite a bit from.
For example, did you know that the Chaos Emeralds actually create Huon Energy?
We found that out when we researched on one of our "test subjects".
No, not alive beings, that´s just how we call the machines we are de-engineering.
Anyway, that particular test subject is the one we´re getting the most information out of.
In it, there were some circular letters we had never seen before.
It had some kind of energy generator that appeared to work just like a Chaos Emerald.
After deciphering the writings, we found out that whatever ancient civilization that artifact is from called that form of energy "Huon".
Ever heard of it? The legends say it once was the most powerful form of energy there was.
Until the great Cuuyth war. According to the legends, several large factions from across the multiverse united and fought off the Old Strigiforme Empire and its allies.
It is believed the ancestors of the Mobians and Overlanders were some of them who were seperated and stranded on Mobius.
But of course, that is just some fairy tale, altough the similarities on the database of the... machine were fascinating."
Suddenly a guard came in and took Hope to Fenway.


Soon after the interview:
Several EE Typhoon-class escort carriers and a Halberd-class dreadnaught engaged the NeoRome fleet, knocking out their shields and then unleashing several boarding pods onto the ship holding the prisoners while destroying the rest.
The total robots sent onto the ship were:
10 Metal Sally Commando robots
50 Metal Tails Recon robots
50 Metal Sonic close combat robots
300 SWATbot Mk.II generic battle robots
commanded by an E-123 Omega.

-Thats awesome. We developed something similar. Its a diferent form of scrambler that actively modifiy the readings to match the reading of...nah,other materials,to simulate that nothing is there. After all,we have a conjuction of diferent "cloacks". Temperature,quantum states and etc,etc,etc.
Normally,i´m the shadow that you call "Who´s there?" . If you want a help with something,call me. *He smiled a little inocent when he fitted some Metal sonics knocking guards and generic robots figthing*

-Why the hell is a metal hedgehog there? *He was a little confuse and lost*

[Professor Fenway]

OOC: That's outdated lightspeed. No robots invaded the ground facility. Please check stuff.
