Lonevoinian types in the com code(314-998) to contact Buba. "I have a delivery to Zachit Station. 400K Credits in it for you, to be paid on return. Note: If the Zacha catch you with this, they will rip you limb from limb and have your planet destroyed. And if you do it quickly enough, you get a bonus. Deal?"

The Person who misspells "Voinian" knows not of the 50 gigaton nuke coming at their cranium.


To Thunder: Affirmative. Kev (captain of one of my escorts) has picked up a Battlegroup of renegade Laziras over by Groned on his long-range sensors. I'll take 'em out. Oh, and if you have any specific missions, I'm listening. Over and out.

My Crescent Warships jump into the Groned system, and find 6 Laziras on a raid.
"Looks like we caught 'em by surprise. Launch all Crescent Fighters. Kev, take a Warship and cut off their escape route. Jam their transmissions. Fighters, engage!"

The Laziras are harrassed by the Fighters and the SAD modules. Then the Gunslinger and two Warships fly in, and bombards the Laziras with turrets. They try to escape but are met by Kev, who hits them head on. Battle results:

4 Destroyed Crescent Fighters
2 Destroyed R. Laziras
3 Disabled R. Laziras (one got away)
1 Heavily damaged Crescent Warship

The Gunslinger boards the three disabled Laziras and collects 480,000 credits, some Dispy Rockets, and one of the Laziras as an escort. The fleet warps back to Kayia for repairs.

Then, when Rooster was nearing the Nifal system, all the ships cloaked (except for the two Helians and the fake Wind Thief), and Lonevoinian moved back towards the protostar.

"Deal.." said Buba, glad to be back in the swing of things. "Where should I pick up the delivery?"

"Voina, just outside Nov6's palace. One of my men will meet you there tomorrow. Don't be late. And don't be caught."

Buba ended the transmission and readied his Miranu Gunship, Dark Shadow.
-------
A day later Buba was in his final hyperspace jump to Voina. As the ship began to leave hyperspace Buba took the controls and manuevered through the heavy traffic around Voina. He began to request his landing permission and was accepted.

"Dock in bay 45 Section 3A"

As Buba's ship suken beneath the atmosphere he saw an unusual sight on one of the docks. A Zachit Arada. Luckily, Buba's landing spot was miles from the Zachit; however, Buba began to realize how tough this mission would be. As he docked his ship he made sure his security system was up 100% before leaving for Nov6's Palace. Reaching the palace Buba saw the contact and walked over, casually, as not to draw supspission, incase the Zachit was around.

Contact: "You got a lighter?"
Buba: "Yes, but it's out of lighter fluid. Would you like a match?" He showed the contact a box of matches having the Voinian Crest upon it and the two got down to buisiness.
Contact: "Alright, you think your ship can carry 50 tons of cargo?"
Buba: "Yea, I had it outfitted for large cargo runs such as this one. But it's fast, so don't worry about me getting caught."
Contact: "You better not. We are having your ship moved to a private section (Bay 2 Section 1A). You'll need an access code to get in. Your ship should be ready with the cargo in less than 2 hours. One of our loaders will contact you when it is ready. If anyone asks why your ship was moved tell them it was for inspection. You got it?"
Buba: "Yes... sounds pretty simple."
Contact: "I'm just getting started. Once you take off you'll need get to Zacha as fast as you can. Beware of any enemy ships around and try to take care of them. Either disable them or confuse them. I hope you have a Cloaking Device?"
Buba: "Sure do."
Contact: "Alright, along the run you should run into a few fleets of Voinian ships. These are there to help wipe out any followers. Hopefully you won't need them."
Buba: "Okay. What happens if my ship gets damaged?"
Contact: "Jettison the cargo and hope for the best. We've put a small detonator on the cargo incase you need to jettison. Activate it and destroy all evidence."
Buba: "Okay okay... I got it. How am I suppose to land?"
Contact: "Since your a Miranu ship it shouldn't be too hard. We have dug up an old Zacha Landing Code and Transponder. This should keep you out of harms way from most Miranu and Zachit ships; however, others are on the lookout and will not be so easily fooled."
Buba: "Okay, I got it. Anything else?"
Contact: "No... Except when you land someone should contact you right away and tell you where to unload the cargo."
Buba: "Thanks. I'm off"

Buba headed off towards the Bar to wait for his ship to be loaded with the cargo. It seemed like this run was going to be a little harder than he thought.

Just a few questions:
1-What kind of ship is the Wind Thief?
2-Is Rooster part of the Kayan Alliance? If he isn't what government is he with?
3-What kind of escort ships does Rooster have? In other words, what type of ship are they?
4-What missions have been done in this galaxy? In other words, which missions and changes to the galaxy have been done and which ones have not been done? I'm making a new map for the Red Horizon and I need to know this first.

:Quote From Carno:
Once back on the station, Carnotaur thanked all of the pilots (Lonevoinian, Daedalus - who was now awake, Captain LoneIgadzra, and the brave pilots of all the other ships) greatfully and they payed them all 1 million credits, except for Lonevoinian which he gave 1.5 million to (to help repair his ship). Then, Carnotaur went back to the hospital on Freeport where Rene and Intimidator were recovering...

Continuation: Daedalus woke up crumpled on the floor of his room.
He heard a banging on the door and he opened it. A very mad looking roostersw with a bunch of security guards were standing in front of him.
Roostersw spoke: "I want you! for questioning."
The guards rushed in and grabbed Daedalus.
A few hours later daedalus was hand cuffed and seated in front of Roostersw who was holding a picture of the infamous Renegade Daedalus.
Roostersw: Do you know who this is?
Daedalus's face turned white and he muttered yes, looking slightly embarrased. He hung his head and responded: "Its my brother, Daedalus, the infamous renegade, my parents always said I looked like him. He used to pick on me when I was a kid. He would beat me up when my parents weren't home. I hated him, he said he would kill me if I told." Daedalus looked up with a flicker of anger and a trace of hope in his eyes, "Did you kill him?"
Rooster replies...

------------------
----------------------
Give them shell! give them solid shot! Damn them, give them anything!

Carno, I said id given you an AW earlier, but never sent it. keep the disabled one, as I need the active one back ASAP.

Anyway:
My fleet of 10 AW's meets with the 10 Zidaras and release fighters. Phase bursts diminish shields on the smaller craft. (NOTE: Remember, I gave the order to disable, so my ships will not destroy the Zidaras, just disable them.)
I wait for a counter-post.

I talked to warhead, he wants to join as my 2nd in command. I am willing to give him a small fleet, but I just want to make sure this is ok with everyone.

Rooster, Is there a way to get more capital ships? The limit said 20, but as an emperor I thought that I would have resources to build more. The same for the other gov leaders.

Your Welcome, Carno. I accept the million and my personal ship hypers out.

As for my fleets, they remain the same.

<Secret message:Encoded secure>
<To: Nova6, Captain Carnotaur>
Message: I would like a few cloaking devices. I will pay 100,000 each. I need 3. Secret Mission. Steal Zidagar tech. Over.
<-End->
Do not read if you are my enemy, you dont know this:
I send the 'Classified' AW and my Arada to rendezvous with the damaged AW and perform repairs, and then go on to recieve cloaks if my offer is accepted.

------------------
Is the answer to this question 'no'?

Buba finishes up his ale and heads for his ship. Entering the security code the door to the bay opens with a swoosh and Buba stepped inside. Seeing his ship ready he walked over to it and boarded. The engines whined as the Dark Shadow rose up into the air and headed towards space. Buba quickly entered the vectors for the hyperspace route and the ship lurched foward.

Arada Pilot: Cloaking devices cost at least 1 million each.
To everyone, cloaking devices are not to be thrown around, they are hard to come by. The only government that actually owns any production facilities are the Voinians, it cost 1 million credits to produce a single cloaking device. You can probably buy them from Nova6 but it would be expensive.

How about this, can I be in the process of building a cloaking facility?

MODERATION: Carno, i'm trying to be nice here but you are still ignoring my notices about waiting for action and not controlling other players. My ship has entered the Nifal system, but is not moving towards any of your ships or engaged in battle with any of your ships. You have simply rephrased the post in which you forgot to allow action at four places, and you still are not allowing it in just as many. You're next action may only include what you do until i react! I have been slightly preoccupied with Darkstream but that is no excuse for this, and i'm afraid i can't sympathise with how much you've had to type.

NOTE: Yes, cloaks are difficult to acquire, but any of the main players may have one (one, literally). The only condition is that if the enemy sees you and then you turn on your cloak, they will know you're there somewhere and will do particle scans.

CONTINUATION: Aeshek: "Nothing here sir. I'll proceed to Nifal." Rooster nodded and the ship entered hyperspace.

Carno, i will be here so you won't have to wait for my reactions.

------------------
It is not fear that will destroy you, but the absence of it.

OK Carno, but are you sure that is something to do. In order to have the facility on your base it will cost you 5mil building expense. Since they are a cheap kind it cost 800,000 to build a single device. You would be making only 200,000. Forgive me for being picky but like I said, cloaks are not something to be toyed with. Carno You are down to about 10 million from the 20 million that Nova gave you. This is due to repairs, cloaking facility, several cloaking devices, and building of your base. This is to be un desputed.

------------------
----------------------
Give them shell! give them solid shot! Damn them, give them anything!

(This message has been edited by daedalus (edited 01-23-2001).)

I second that moderation. Just remember that each player comes into the game with 1 cloaking device anyway, and a large factory like Carno's is necessary to construct them.

------------------
It is not fear that will destroy you, but the absence of it.

Just a few questions (again, since no one listened to my first ones):
1-What kind of ship is the Wind Thief?
2-Is Rooster part of the Kayan Alliance? If he isn't what government is he with?
3-What kind of escort ships does Rooster have? In other words, what type of ship are they?
4-What missions have been done in this galaxy? In other words, which missions and changes to the galaxy have been done and which ones have not been done? I'm making a new map for the Red Horizon and I need to know this first.

To Rooster, concerning waiting for your actions: Good. I'm getting pretty annoyed about waiting for you.

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

When the Zodiac entered the system, it started to move towards the fake Wind Thief. Then, the three Azdgari Warships and two Voinian frigates hyperspaced into the system directly behind the Zodiac, and immediately opened fire. Then, the fake Wind Thief also moved around to the position of the three warships and two frigates also trying to help them chase the Zodiac into the correct position.
