Novum Paradigma

[Vinyl]

NPNN: Recent projects to design and create reactors appropriate for use in the new Novum starships have been pushed back due to the involvement of lead Novum scientist, Dr. Linn Kelly. Our only hope is that the threat of The Virus will be enough to further her involvement in its remedy.

Novum Paradigma walks out the metaphorical door of sanity.

NPNN: In a stunning move, the current empress of Novum Paradigma, Veronika Monroe, shot and killed the current leaders of the 7 colonies in Novum space. It is unclear of her motive, but it is clear that public outrage will not ensue due to Novum's law against public protest which results in immediate execution of the protesters.

NPNN: Today, another shocking development happened. Novum Paradigma firing squads killed 240 shipyard workers who were protesting against the anti-protesting law. In other news, do you have what it takes to become part of the Novum Paradigma Navy? More on that later at 25:00 and 27:00.

NPNN: Later today, another group of protesters were killed. With a death toll of approximately 800, the group was burned using a concoction of multiple different explosive and flammable elements. There were no survivors.

NPNN: Yesterday, Tyth was wiped of organic life during the uprising of the previously classified NPM artificial intelligence. During a transmission from the AI to the Empress, the AI stated it would like to assist the rest of Novum. We are waiting on further word from either side.

NeoRome condemns the acts of Novum killing their own people and the firebombing of their own planet. NeoRome will step in if any more civilian deaths accrue.

Darkstar Security CO. offers a trade opportunity

We will deliver the new "Supercharger" class Plasma reactors,designed specially for your ships.
Very easy to mantain,they are made exactly for your ships. Over that,they are not so modular,but some changes can be made to accomodate it in your newer ships.

In exchange,i want the Penetrator class schematic.

Or 4 Penetrator frigates.

Deal?

Novum accepts the offer and will provide the schematics for the Penetrator-Class Frigate.

Sending in 4 Flapjacks with 7 Reactors each.

Using a magnetic field to confine a plasma in the shape of a torus. Achieving a stable plasma equilibrium requires magnetic field lines that move around the torus in a helical shape.
So be very cautious with anything magnetic.

Well, it's probably a good thing then that I design my interiors the way I do...

I am now weeping, the psychological trauma that you have imposed upon me with your clever insult has left me so mentally scarred that I fear that I will never again be able to have any form ofcomposed cognition after this message. I must bid this forum and its community adiue, for I am now unable to conjure thoughts to form sentences. Goodbye. Goooooooobyyyyyyyye!

Yes.

Yes.

The good bye would probably sound more like that of an Aperture Science turret.

All communication with Novum has been severed for the past 24 standard hours. A small expeditionary force is en-route to identify the situation.
