There is now about 1/2 of a gigaton's worth of matter/antimatter bombs planted on DS3. That is going to be one fuck-hell of an internal explosion.

You DO realize the consequences of your action, don't you? Think what happened to Afghanistan after 9/11.

[Destructionator XV]

The beauty of it is you can't prove it was me in universe. Any evidence will be long gone.

Yes, but just like in the real world, superpower nations like the Empire doesn't need evidences; all they need are excuses. "A'millan Star Empire is producing WMD and such."

[Destructionator XV]

And then we nuke you right back. EDIT: and complaing about WMDs when your turbolasers have more firepower than that with each shot isn't going to get you much sympathy in the Senate.

I want more action in the game. Right now, it is too slow moving. But fear not, those bombs aren't big enough to destroy the death star, just enough to do some serious internal damage to that section of it.

And my plan to continue here is far more interesting than the bombs themselves...

[Destructionator XV]

The deed is done. The Death Star, because it is so huge, took relativly little damage, but this will not go unnoticed by anyone for any amount of time. News will spread instantly.

Any character shielded people on the Death Star can be outside the death radius, or you can have them killed or wounded - that is up to you.

Also note that a chunk of debris fell to Earth, which could potentially destroy a planetside city as well.

The game is afoot. And remember, no one in universe really knows what happened. They just know there were Zerg, who do look fake to any experts who could examine the security footage which would be on the news too, and then suddenly a bomb went off. No one knows how that bomb got there or who set it off.

Let the hell be broken loose.

Anyway guys, I just posted a rehash on Phoenix War I. Whaddya' think?

Anyway, since the A'millan bombing (oh, IC, Darth Kreshna hasn't known yet, but we will discover it, I assure you ), I guess this STGOD is getting a new, more exciting focus: war on terrorism.

[Ra]

Summon the talking heads, government bigwigs, Halliburton, the Information Minister, and Ann Coulter, STAT!

Oh, and I have dibs on the Information Minister. He's the new Goa'uld spokeman, and he's even been Snaked!

[Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman]

I guess Allen will play a bigger role on that matter; he plays as the central government of Galactic Empire in Coruscant, while I'm just in charge of the Milky Way. In case he decides for Iraq... I mean, A'millan invasion, then I'll do his bidding. See, my role is more like Boazanian Prince Heinel (Prince Zardos in American version) of Voltes Five!

Oh, and Adam, that cute, anime-ish face has been recorded on security cam, so Imperial intelligence will identify her photo as the terrorist suspect.

[Ra]

This is a point I brought up in a PM to Kresh, regarding his concerns that the Zerg would become Guardian Mk. II's. We felt it should be posted publically, just to give everyone a heads up.

Even then, they will not be as powerful as the Guardians. Ra didn't have access to all of their technology (most of it being destroyed or outright rotted away after the ashes of war cleared), and the Zerg won't be able to simply go to their Hives and click "research" stuff.

It'll take extreme amounts of time for the Zerg to successfully field hydras with Shog-level bioarmor, or Mutalisks with biolasers and Guardian bioarmor. In many cases, integration of such things would require genetic modification on part of the Zerg breed in question.

Thing of how many times Darth Wong pointed out the extreme difficulty of a lesser-advanced civilization "reverse-engineering" Imperial technology, or even the actual impossibility of it (within a reasonable amount of time) in the case of the ST Federation. For the Zerg, reverse-engineering Guardian technology will be extremely difficult, and will take much time (in fact, I suggest you mention this fact to DesertFly). The Zerg are, for the most part, creatures with dog-level intelligence, led by some uber-powerful psychic. The Guardians were fucking fallen angels, in a sense, supernatural creatures we can't begin to comprehend.

We need to all remember that, and make sure that outside of help from the Tais Guardian, any integration will take some time, and mainly consist of extremely powerful and extremely rare "prototype" Zerg. Like, say, the odd biolaser-armed Mutas, or a really powerful breed of Ultralisk with Guardian armor and a few other goodies.

[Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman]

Oh, just a note: it still takes time (and should, considering suspension of disbelief) for the Empire to discover that the A'millan is actually the one behind the bombing, so relax. I ain't gonna' bring the OOC bias (divination?) to IC.

[Destructionator XV]

Post press releases n0w so I can get back to my continuing plot against you all!

Would'nt the fact your ambassador upped sticks beforehand kinda give it away?

Edit: I might be lucky and be able to get online tommrow, but don't get your hopes up

[Destructionator XV]

My plot is far more insiduous. You will see in due time...

See? It was not too insidious after all. The good news is that I heard A'millan have a lot of mineral-rich planets, so expect Kreshnaburton to finance the attack on Iraq... I mean, A'millan Star Empire!

[Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman]

I can't; the game time dictates that I should meet Flotsam first (who'll arrive in 5 mintues) before making any statement.

[Ra]

I'm stuck waiting for Kerrigan/DesertFly, so if y'all were wondering about my lack of posting as of late, that's why. Maybe I'll think up something else for Meryetre to wax poetic about tomorrow.

[Narsil]

I'm stuck waiting for... something... to happen. Y'know, DesertFly might as well invade the Commonwealth... it's fortified enough to cause a great many Zerg casualties... but it'll really be something like ten thousand in an army of one million. Hit the Commonwealth with a Zerg Rush... only for them to do something drastic and psychological-warfareish... like play Spice Girls songs over the Psychic Network.

[Destructionator XV]

DesertFly might as well invade the Commonwealth...

What possible motivation would he have for that though? These Zerg are more than just bloodlusting monsters; they aren't going to throw their lives away for nothing.

Well the Commonwealth has some effective bioweapons (mostly nonlethal, but in enough doses...) and they're not getting any weaker while they're building up their strength, and the infrastructure can't age except via relying on entropy. Hit them while they're not ready.

[Destructionator XV]

Do they even know of your existence in universe?

unrelated note to self: "I would not say such things if I were you!"

[DesertFly]

Do they even know of your existence in universe?

Well, if they're in any of the freely (and not so freely) available information services accessible on the DSIII, then the Zerg as a whole know of them, although Namtaru himself might not, and the Zerg are occupied enough with other matters that they're pretty much ignoring anyone who isn't either a direct threat (like the splinter Brood) or is of interest in some way (like Ra now.)


Also, sorry I've been keeping you up Ra and just generally not posting. I just started a new, nine hours a day, five am job, and I've been bushed lately. I'll try to respond to everyone who's waiting for me.

[Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman]

There ain't; the Empire hasn't known about them, let alone publishing a public information.

[DesertFly]

Pah, Kerrigan's identity and existance was supposed to be a secret! Oh well, I'll assume that everyone just has this weird idea that the Zerg should be run by a queen.

*grumble, grumble*

[Ra]

KAN: Oh my god... did your guys find the Beast?

DF: In my own defense, I've never had any of the IC characters know or state Kerrigan's actual name, only the vague intelligence that the Broods are ran by some Queen. Otherwise, Ra & co. know nothing about the Zerg political structure, not even about the Cerebrates.

Oh, and that reminds me: like the Protoss, it will take some time for the Goa'uld and others to realize that only "dark" energies (for simplicirty in-game, we'll say Dark Side of the Force energies suffice) will permenantly kill Cerebrates, so if war breaks out, which I hope it doesn't for awhile, you could resurrect Cerebrates as much as you like.

That also, I think, means that KAN himself would be unable to kill Cerebrates, because he abandoned the Dark Side for the Phoenix Force, which is neither "dark" nor "light", but neutral, AFAIK.

And finally, don't feel the need to apologize about your being tired after work. I know exactly where you're coming from, considering that I myself have a 9-hour job that leaves me little free time.

If anyone else was bothering to watch, they probably noticed my sharp decrease in posting back around March, for that very same reason; a new job.
