Mac waits for more delegates to arrive at the conference.

What conference? Can I come?

The conference of all opposed to the rje. Come to Palshife if you oppose them and get a chance.

Mr. Moose arrives on Palshife and walks to the Five Star Hotel (*****) that the metting is at. I take the tubrolift up and begin to devoure the orderves but Mac stops me, saying "We want to look good in front of the PRBC." (is that right I can't remember you guys keep changing you name) I wipe cheese of my face and smile.

See if I get a chance? Okay, whatever.
A huge shadow casts over the Palshife Hotel/Casino. Everyone looks up. It's Spacey's RB Dreadnaught and his RB Destroyer Fleet called the P-Feds. (taken from my Plug-In.)
Spacey and his fleet fly overhead slowly. Spacey waves out a small window. It looks like him anyway; can't see exactly.
Spacey walks through the front doors and is greeted by the waiters and waitresses. "Wine? Tea?" they say. "Uh huh... no," he says in response.
"Greeting Mac. And hello MM," Spacey bows to each of them just as Japanese humans from Earth do. "So, where's the big shabang?"
Shade's Blue Suede Cat Descends on Palshife like the giant,glowing Lava Lamp™ it resembles. Flanked by a large honour guard,Magistrate K'Sarragh enters the hotel,saying hi to everybody already there.

Cap'n Redeye arrives in his Tacit Blue along with the Fifth Fleet. He lands, then asks, "Where's the Dr Pepper?"

Insano retreats and just manages to get away from Spacey. He now has virtually no fleet, only the flagship. He then sets course for Evildrome to visit some old friends...
When he arrives and gets off the ship, several pirates greet him without pointing a blaster at him! Insano was somewhat friendly with them as half of his crew are x-pirates. Insano describes to them the previous battle and they give Insano a little "something" that will help him in the battle. Along with about 100 various pirate capital ships for basic defense.
The mission to the council room on Palshife had gone quite well. The pirats had planted explosive Pepsi charges in strategic locations that were invisible to anyone who didn't know they were there. On his ship, the pirate demolitions expert viewed the council room through a security cam he had rigged earlier to be displayed on his ship. As soon as everyone is seaten in the room, he presses the big red button that makes all the Pepsi cans explode.

But it's a good thing that those 'people' were electronical components. The DP/RB members were not dumb. They had one of their most trusted mechanical technicians rig up some 'dummies' that were electrical. Spacey and the others escape from the reckage. No one knows where they are!

A large vat of Dr pepper appears out of nowhere.
"This meeting has now begun!"

"Everyone's here? Good. Wait, I don't think Skyblade has arrived yet. We can't very well start without the President of the DPR. But maybe we can lay some groundwork. The first thing is, we all need to ally against the rje and launch some kind of cohesive attack against them. Suggestions, or ideas for what everyone would like to hit?"
At this point, the Pepsi bombs go off, as expected, destroying the simulacrum of the meeting. Mac reaches under the table and touches the little red button there, causing a giant hrung to collapse on Evildrome, killing everyone there but Insano.

So are we still alive?
Okay, this has just gone over the line! You can't do that! And you can't just magically say they were holograms! I don't care if any of you died or not, just actually be in the room and send people in to rescue you! Oh, and I'm not on Evildrome. I'm in my command ship recently replenished from command along with the Kestrels. Please, void that last post.
No. You R dead. The meeting has been cancelled. PLEASE pay attention to my eariler posts, there is a huge fleet on the way towards Sol, you are all going to be in it. I intended to write them all at once, then have them all prepared to post, but since you guys are SOOOOO impatient, I';ll paste this one, the only one I have done, in now.
NOTE: the weapons from this post have been altered to fit the Wars. For those interested in the real storyline, refer to the key below:
_----SODA-WARS-----DEFINITION---------------REAL-STORY----- A&W; Turrets-------------Self-Explanatory---------BFG Turrets (Quake, we love you! :D) _ Carbo Ball--------------Ball of Carbohydrates----(url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/dl-redirect.pl?path=ev/cheats &file;=Fireball%201.1.sea.hqx")Fireball(/url)
ANOTHER NOTE: The Aurora, in my little un-released plug, is big. REEEEEEALLY big. As in, almost-fills-up-screen-in-EV big. Well, I haven't made the spin yet, so I'm not sure if I can do that. But seriously, it's about 2 miles long, and 5 miles wide. Long story 'bout how he got it. Hint: "Shuttle" found an important hyperlink, which Dragon now uses to get to his own system... Ever wonder about the history of the Zapheeds?
EVEN ANOTHER NOTE: The story uses the element that I have included in many of my chronicles: A ship flying on Zapheed status. The captain is hooked directly into the ship’s power, diverting all energy to his own body, This allows the ship to follow the commands he thinks, effectively cutting the average reaction time to 1/4 its normal speed. The catch: The pilot takes all damage that the ship would take, which has been known to cause severe emotional, mental, and physical pain. Only a chosen few have ever achieved this great status, though many have died trying. It is rumored that these “extraterrestrials” descended from the gods themselves Which does have some basis in truth, owing to the fact that the original pilots were the Arubian rulers of the past. Some say that these celestial figures interbred with mankind, and that these modern humans were, in fact, their present-day equals
====================================================================
Dragon stepped out of the hovershaft and slowly walked down the catwalk towards the small cockpit, 500 feet above the bustle of activity on the deck below. Facing the huge glass "dome," his back to the main deck and central area of the ship, he looked out across the vast expanse of stars. His mate called up from below, "All systems go for launch, sire."
Staring out into space, Dragon reviewed the ships stats, figuring its strengths and weaknesses. Two long, downward-curving wings out to each side, each covered with 342 A&W; turrets. Another two extended from below and above, carrying the Aurora's vast expanse of secondaries. And then the central part of the ship, an oblong oval, with the deadly Carbo-ball launcher below.
Finally, Dragon reached the small, egg-shaped glass bubble. Opening the hatch, he slipped into the captainÂ’s seat and stroked the controls. Sighing, he remembered the days before the Empire, the days of peace and happiness... Sitting there for a while, he relaxes back, his mind a maelstrom of thoughts.
He was brought out of his trance as the hanger bell sounds, and the blue shield surrounding the ships drew back, causing the fleet to float freely through space. Pulling the comlink down from above his head, Dragon ordered his fleet to de-activate all manual controls. They did so, in mutual understanding of what was about to happen next. After putting the mike down, he slowly unscrewed the dashboard. Pulling away the mass of wires and cabling, he came to a single, black switch installed in the wall. Looking at it, he remembered the day he found the link to Arubia, and when he was crowned their king after the battle. Slowly, as if time had stopped, he flicked the switch. Energy poured through the seat, escalating into a fury of power. Onlookers below gasped as the cockpit glowed with a cryptic blue aura. As Dragon let himself flow into the familiar stream of light, he felt himself become one with the ship, a central part of the bustle of electricity. But within that electricity, within the steel wires, there was a magic, a burning sense of wonder, that had been present since the reign of its original pilots, the Zapheed kings of days long past. Buckled tight in the seatÂ’s frame, he yanked the throttles forward and cut the mike in two. He wouldnÂ’t be needing it. Not for this last battle, the battle that would decide the fate of the Galaxy forever. The Alliance was collapsing, the RJE would soon gain control. His people needed him. With one last glance at his broken comlink, his only connection to the outside world, Dragon pushes the twin pulsators, sending the Aurora and her fleet into a battle the Universe would never forget
20 minutes later, all RJE readouts were completely packed with black ink. The commanders said it was a printer problem, but the privates feared the Prophecy, the Prophecy that a mystical force would overthrow the tyrants
Please ignore the fleet of ships that just appeared in the Torgo system, IÂ’m working on the next segment. Should be done tomorrow, at least.
Thanx for reading all this!

I tend to think I can do that just as much as you can plant bombs on Palshife without ever having been there. I suppose it could have been a giant DP cloud, but I like using HHGTTG plot devices, they're fun. Your other option was a total existance failure, but I picked the hung since there are more options for figuring out ways around it.
Originally posted by Insano: And you can't just magically say they were holograms!
That was Spacey's idea, not mine. I just thought it was a good one.
Originally posted by Insano: **Please, void that last post. **
Mac voids the post immediately before Insano's, which has no appreciable effect on the game since it was just Spacey asking a question.
Note, Insano, that this is just me having fun with the story. I don't think Evildrome is that important, and if it is, you can have it be mysteriously recolonized and I won't bat an eye at it. I think you're overreacting a bit, this is supposed to be entirely free-form, as opposed to, say, BFS III.
CD - what makes you think we all have to be in your fleet?
Rawzer decides that, since it has outlasted its usefullness, he should sell his two cloaking devices. He puts them on e-bay. They both sell to the same person, the big one for 2 x 10 to the 16th power credits, while the smaller one sells for double that. Pretty sweet deal, he thinks, until next week, when he is punched in the face by an invisible assailant. Ow.
------------------ Oy!

Nothing, actually. I just thought you'd like to be in the biggest movement to overthrow the RJE ever recorded in the history of the Empire. I see now that I was wrong, but did you read either of my last two posts? They both indicate that a rather BIG-@$$ task force of BIG-@$$ ships are headed towards Earth. Maybe I need to go back to 5th Grade literature classes...

Or maybe we think Insano will beat you off, and we'll get a shot together later. Feel free to whittle him down a bit.
About the nick - it's very common for those with long names to have them shortened a bit, and I don't really want to type out Cyber-Dragon a lot. Anything else you'd prefer? Should I go back to calling you Lyra?
Well, it's really not that big, since it only contains you. Well, at least I don't see that many Soda Wars participators on this board. Not to be rude or anything.
Spacey contacts Mac. "Mac, I need to meet you. As the founder of the Root Beer Emperial Embacy, I would like to meet you about an alliance between the RBEE (Arbee) and the DP Rebellion. I know that Skyblade is the President of the DPR, but he cannot be found here much... for some reason. ANyway, I'd like to talk to you both in private. Please meet me on Legard (from my Plug-In. Is a RBEE planet.)"
"Do we have a deal?" Spacey looks out his hotel window as he talks on the hyper-cell, the Nokia 8150.6 <--- That's my real cell, besides the .6.

"Well, since I'm the CC pres, I can't speak for the DPR, but The CC would be interested in an alliance with the RBEE. You'd supply Mug Root Beer, right? I like it better than the in-house Barg's."
"Well, Mug huh? We mainly produce Henry Weinhardt's Root Beer. But Mug is really gooood. Especially the head." "So, yes, we will provide Mug and HW RB," Spacey looks around his hotel room.
