The Io Incident [Occasionally illustrated Suggestion Game]
« on: August 17, 2013, 01:07:36 pm »


The Io system, a small, and mostly unnoticeable system on the edge of inhabited space. Home to 2 planets: a small, sparsely inhabited aquatic planet, and a barren Mercuroid. It's also home to a small orbital drydock, which serves as the primary hub for planetary communications. Peace is rudely disturbed by an incursion of Reaper ships, backed up by four unidentifiable spacecraft of unknown origin.

Though they know they can't hope to defeat them, the crew powers up the weaponry, activates the Warp Interdictors, and opens fire, hoping to buy the people below enough time to hide.


The station shudders and reals from the massed counter fire. Lasers tear through the armor like butter, obliterating the Bridge, and tearing the habitation area apart. The defensive fire dies out, and the warp interdictors fail. The raiders pass the station without so much as another glance.

What little survives from the crew gathers themselves in the dry-docks, knowing that they did what they could. There're 3 ships flight capable in the docks. However, none of them can escape without warp core, of which there's only one on the station, which was salvaged from the Warp interdictor. There's little time left to decide, as the station is rapidly pulling itself apart due to the damage it sustained.

Having a name similar to an ancient, infective autoimmune disease might have in universe implications.

You quickly power up the Icarus, and not a moment to soon. The station's dying screams are stopped abruptly when the hull finally tears apart, and the air's sucked out. The Icarus escapes unscatched, but you're not sure about the other vessels.


Hidden within the wreckage, you can observe the Reaper ships bombarding the enemies, assisted by the unknown force. Now would be the best time to leave, before they noticed you survive, or bring an antiwarp field online.

Leigh was not a happy soldier.

"I told you to take the X-2! This bucket of rust will get us killed at first opportunity. Ah, well, we are stuck with it now, lets get the hell out of here and away from Reaper space..."

Set course for Tristan where once not likely to instantly die we can consider our next move.
