Once More, With Feeling

[Ivan2006]

Venture Industries accept the contract. The materials will be sold at a very reduced price,but in exchange,Venture Industries asks for a exclusive contract [Monopoly in that region]

exclusive mining rights in Muyama-Thiostea

you already have the regional monopoly in my contract

The Prototype for the assault ship, the Seolh, has been completed and is now undergoing trials.

[meta]With access to fast Graphene processors, new applications are being considered, including increased precision of psionic equipment. While research on psionic object manipulation is still continuing, additional resources are allocated for technology-assisted psionic communication and similar projects.[/meta]

Concepts of new ships have been made, but are not yet released to the public.

The ICBII welcomes the NR.

[Message to Venture industries]
In response to your requests:
1.We are not a security company, We are a sovereign empire.
2.Why would we pay you for materials only for you to take 15% away?
3.Silver and Tellurium mining are large industries in our economy, Why would we destroy them to give that position to some small foreign company?

Clearly this contract was not meant to be, We are formally withdrawing our contract request.

-From: Hierarch Taylan-
I'm know that you already know about the massive derelict in the system designated JH-875-I, near the tan colored nebula. We've nicknamed it Hell's Eye.

And i'm sure that you're just as puzzled as we are. We have no idea what we're looking at, and for all we know, this could be an issue of galactic extinction if this thing is dangerous. I ask a proposition.

We would like to jointly research and study the derelict, and share any insights with each other.

[ENCRYOTED MESSAGE TO DOMINION OF NEOROME]
We find this agreeable.

Thus far, we have discovered little; the Great Derelict seems to be the remains of a ringworld, built by peoples unknown. A defense systems appears active - should anyone scan the Derelict with targeting systems, it will respond... forcefully - and that the materials used may as well be invulnerable to any modern weapon or cutting system.

We have taken small samples of the material for testing; we are also setting up a permanent settlement, both for scientific purposes and as a shipyard, and are exploring the interior of the Derelict.

We have a carrier present for support operations; we can house your personnel and equipment there, or you may send a research vessel and/or military vessel (support only, please?) to house your own teams. Secure datalinks will be established on site.

To Shadowcat:

Its a shame,but im sure that a "Sovereign Empire" can mine his own resources.

OCC: The resources would be free,and 15% was the payment,dumbass.

[Shadowcatbot]

OOC: Your contract implied you would take 15% of what you mined for orders. Not my fault you didn't engrish correctly. And to be honest the way your demands sounded Im pretty certain any real nation would only accept such terms if they were desperate.

[Meta]With concepts finalized, development of plasma shielding has begun. The device is expected to be very complicated and will take quite a while to create a working prototype.

A simple software change in the Fusion Coil Splicer has yielded a 5% increase in net power output. This update is being pushed out to all active units.

The science cruiser Gluon has been dispatched to the derelict ringworld, with the frigate Gatekeeper guarding it. Both are equipped with prototype Fusion Coil Splicers, that can fire for very extended periods of time but must be kept at cryogenic temperatures to do so.
[/Meta]

NR has begun colonizing a vibrant world, the twin of the second planet. A massive defense network is already present around the planet, and all ships except for authorized NR ships are denied access to the world.

SO im sorry for being rude with you,Shadowcat.

The Pctyyliiv region of the Strigiforme Empire is currently in rebellion. This region is primarily composed of humans who did not manage to gain their freedom, and several smaller ethnic groups indigenous to the region. They have armed several large civilian vessels, and taken 2 minor supply depots with additional arms, munitions, and some spare shielding units.

The Strigiforme have dispatched 4 fleets to suppress the insurrection, with additional forces being contemplated by the Council and Leader.

[Error]

[Meta] Despite rebellions within the Union, the Terran Navy is using civilian vessels with TN crews to evacuate the rebels from Strigiforme territory, being careful to avoid being ID'd. [/meta]

Riots, demonstrations, and even open rebellions have broken out on a number of Union worlds; many are calling for the Terrans' centralized government to relinquish control, but a small-but-vocal number are calling for the Union to 'repatriate' all of the newly splintered nations and corporations. Naval and Army forces are deploying to counter these riots and uprisings.

Studies in the Tanis system are continuing, but with little progress; examination of a destroyed Derelict drone has revealed an odd plasma-beam weapon, currently under study.

The shipyard within the Derelict is being built into one of the empty spaces; what appears ro have been a massive hangar. Despite the Derelict's toughness, other metals can be adhered to it fairly easily via high-tempurature plasma welding. This information has been passed to the NeoRomans.

OOC: So 343 has employed us to write Halo 5 (because they're a shit)?

I'm going to assume that we're running multiple timelines because it would be really inconvenient to wait a month for two ships to dock. These don't really tie in with anything else, or if they do they can intersect at that point.

Dorem extended her umbilical and made contact with the Novan ship's airlock. The two unfamiliar ships docked, for the first time joining the Batii to another race. Karesh Nihen, Shihe Rahn, and the two other Alliance representatives, along with a xenobiologist that had acted as handler to the guests (NR scout crew), walked along the length of the umbilical to the airlock door where the ships met. The tube was just wide enough for four to stand shoulder-to-shoulder. Karesh Nihen placed a gel communication bead into his earpiece as they waited.

"Hakonnen." Nihen turned to face the xenobiologist.

The xenobiologist gave a gesture of acknowledgement, produced a datapad, and began speaking, "The atmosphere of the, ah, Novan ship is mostly nitrogen with a relatively small amount of oxygen, approximately twenty percent. Very similar to the atmospheric composition that we found was ideal to our human specimens. It should be enough but alert me if you feel a shortness of breath. Few toxic chemicals, not enough to be dangerous. The humans' cellular makeup is adequately different from our own, biological pathogens shouldn't be an issue. Yet."

There was a noise behind them as the linguist entered the umbilical followed by several ragged humans dressed identically, each accompanied by a batii handler. A few of them were vocal, speaking to each other or attempting to speak with their handlers, others were silent and appeared confused. The linguist made a sweeping motion with her arm and called to the group of humans. A few of them bobbed their heads. She then turned to the representatives and bowed to each one.

Rahn tilted her head at the humans.

"We're ready. Open the airlock."

===============================

Butik Space, NR contact area
Nearly simultaneously, the ships of the Butik fleet disengaged their slip-merge drives and entered realspace. The commander gave the order to charge weapons, but hold fire.

[Vinyl]

OOC: It appears so. Am disappoint.

As of yet, the investigatory team has not found any links between the attacks, despite 3 more having taken place since the initial spate.

12 more vessels have entered active service.

[Ivan2006]

The ME has made a surprise move and cancelled the signing of the mining contract with Venture and has instead signed a contract with Hexalan, stating that "they have made a much better offer severely outclassing the terms available at Vanture"

The inner airlock cycled open, allowing Lieutenant Commander Soren and his posse of scientists into the chamber. As it cycled closed behind them, the lights surrounding the outer door flickered from red to green.

"Seal achieved. Opening airlock." he reported, flipping the appropriate switched. A low whirr filled the air as the door split and retracted into the hull, showing them the unknowns' own airlock.

"And now we play the waiting game- or not." he commented as the alien lock cycled open.

He blinked, then collected himself and inclined his head.

"Greetings."

OOC @ Mercury - nah. This ties into Fen's ARK storyline. Besides, the Halo rings are puny babby constructs next to this.

I really should follow this more closely...

BIC:
Scientists have managed to produce new variants of tomato, lettuce, cabbage, onion, potato, and wheat that have very high adaptability and have managed to adapt to hot deserts and cold tundras alike, as well as in zero-gravity environments. While there is no current use for them within the TTE, they will surely become useful once colonization or terraforming of other planets and moons begins.

[meta] Technotronic scientists have begun researching gravitational repulse drives, which would allow vehicles to fly over the ground without wings, propellers or jet/rocket engines, and possibly even allow for large spacecraft to enter the atmosphere. [/meta]
