I wouldn't rule out communicating with any one you like...I would send copies of your communications to Gamer, though!

also, some roleplaying...

From the Reconstructed ship logs of Captain Vehg Qkoll'huk

Xeno terms translated into Human standard/English
Deleted text reconstructed for your viewing pleasure


Captain Vehg, log 6760...

Got a mission today. I guess they were tired of sending me to blow up freighters carrying baby diapers and bicycle wheels.

I'm taking a shot of my favorite drink to "celebrate"-Black Market Human Red Wine, gentically altered to comply with the Xeno digestive system-I'm told it tastes the same to us as to them, but I cant really imagine a Human would enjoy it as I do. If your wondering, it's highly illegal. Heresy, yes-anyone less than a captain caught with a bottle would likely be sent out an airlock...but still, I'm getting on in years, and what do I have to fear from superiors anymore? What could they do to me that I have not already inflicted to myself?

Aye, it's starting now. The hum of my warp engines, a familiar sound...both comforting and haunting. A life spent destroying the unending hordes of Humans had convinced me only of one thing-this is surely Hell, and the next place I go I surely must be reborn into paradise. Or a lower circle of Hell...

Off to battle we go. My latest first mate seems excited. I hope he lives long enough to know not to be. Soon the dying will begin, as always. Perhaps I will die this time. And the silence would be a relief...thundering guns and roaring blood...a tidal wave of black...computer, erase that last part....Captain Vehg, logging out...

TIUOMS Midway
Captain's Log
Captain Argatson, TIUOMS Midway, 3rd fleet

Command has given us our orders. we are to patrol REDACTED. Command believes that REDACTED forces will attempt to take REDACTED. I've put the crews to full alert and am REDACTED. I have located another ship, the REDACTED. She's patrolling nearby systems and looks to be en route to REDACTED. I've attempted to establish a liason with her captain in case additional support becomes necessary. I am currently hoping for a somewhat medium scale engagement. I've worked out some new theories and tactics involving a Carrier's natural strengths, and I want to test these against actual enemies. I had planned to use these against the low grade piracy in the REDACTED system, but if an enemy vessel does engage it will be a much better field test.

Hell, if I do a good job with this some of the Admiralty might actually take a serious look at the tactics I've proposed for carrier engagements.


Thought for the Day: An open mind is like a fortress with its gate unbarred and unguarded.

Milo Termo
Omnitech Inc
The Bismarck: A battleship fitted with long range nuclear fusion missiles. (Bitches) It runs on anti-matter reactors. Also features MAC (Magnetic Acceleration Cannons) to shoot molten lumps weighing over a tonne at enemy ships. *Stick that in your shield and smoke it.) Dual layer shielding; Energy shields for lasers and traditional weaponry and iron debris clouds for eliminating missiles and absorbing any electro-arc attacks. Also has auto-turret lasers for close quarter combat and electro-arc deployers for frying the shit out of stuff that gets too close. Also equipped with extensive radar jamming technology. Increased drives for added speed and maneuverability.

Background: Milo Termo personally owns Termo industries (Think Kuat Drive Yards from star wars), as well as being the majority holder in Omnitech Inc. He is a tactical genius prone to cynicism. Is not ashamed of sacrificing his own minions to survive. His ultimate goals is to save humainty from the myriad horrors of space. (I realize he is conflicted, that is the point.)
