More News from Deep Space

[Autumn Sel]

In response to your sickeningly stupid questions and comments, I have been instructed by the glorious Issa Rix to inform you thus;

Humanity never has, and never will invade Rixia. That you could even think it possible is a clear indication of Human folly. I would also suggest, privately, that you cease the burning and inhalation of various human plant products, along with the oral, nasal and intravenous administration of chemicals, synthetic or otherwise which you Humans, particularly the squad known as 'Slipshod Research and Mining', seem to be so fond of. Additionally, the discontinuation of the consumption of fermented vegetable products may also benefit your health, or what will be left of it when our glorious Unity embarks on a Second Ascension Crusade.

The one known as Death3D, our Ascension has been thoroughly documented on the primitive DataNet analogue known as 'The Internet', however, I will deign to answer your question in the hopes of turning more Humans to our illustrious course. When a chosen Rixian passes through the Holy Alephs, he or she may undergo a radical change in their physical structure, becoming...stronger, faster, enlightened. Eventually, one may Ascend, becoming a being constructed purely of energy, what you would call a non-corporeal entity.

To even speak of your foul Human religions would be dire heresy. I must purge the impure thoughts from my mind with repeated Olerco exercises, bleeding the thought of rank Humanity from my mind with my Jata blade. I will be strong the next time I enter combat.

That is the Ascension. That is our goal. Victory is the only way forward.

Does "Ascension" involve going through the bluish swirling thing known as an aleph? Is this bluish swirling thing also found inside a toilet bowl? If so, no thanks, go ascend some other species.

[Autumn Sel]

Humanity has demostrated it is too volatile and bloodthirsty to Ascend as a whole. Perhaps individual, remarkable Humans will be allowed into our hallowed Belief. But, for you, and others like you, you will never experience the elation of Ascension.

No, you only have a brilliant and radiant death to aspire to. We will deliver. For the Unity.

You know what’s funny? I don’t recall your precious little gray queenie.. ever ascend.. so if your queen didn’t ascent then why are you hoping to?

I mean .. your "brothers" ascended and left all technology (i may be wrong) and you behind with no help whatsoever, to die or somehow survive. This proves you 'dudes' cannot ascend. Also your religion is based on a technological code that is supposed to help you master that technology left behind. Its not a Bible nor some religious text. Ascension is not a religious fact, is a purely technological/biological one.. maybe if you could do some research and see what gene mutates in contact with the radiation from an aleph you would stop all this crap. But hey .. everyone needs a cause to fight for eh? .. at least we, the humans, have a damn good one and will wipe out whoever sent that asteroid to our Earth..

[ImANewbie]

So we humans are bloodthirsty? HAH, which species constructed the cleansing fleet to wipe out whoever was "a threat to the ascension"? How many harmless planets have you aliens wiped out so far?

[Myotis]

Hehh... typical!

Everybody jumping at each others throats instead of trying to work together to solve a problem. Of course, what should I expect...

At least I am not out of a job.

[Barrager]

Clearly the issue is straying from what truly needs to be worked out. We have an unknown party which has sparked mystery, fear, and denial from all parties. Each of you, though clearly desiring the other's throat, should also investigate one priority out of the many that have arisen. Is there a new threat in this solar system or is this entire thing an elaborate hoax. It will benefit all factions to know if this attack was truly alien, or that it was simply a hoax and used technology and tactics known to be our own.

If your parties can agree to rule out it being an alien race, with no bias then the Human race in general stands a much higher chance of surviving. If this force has been proven to actually exist, it is in our best interest to focus our attention against a faction that intends to make no friends whatsoever.

[rojomojo915]

The only problem i see with your plan barr, and btw it is a great idea, is that it doesnt seem like any of these guys are willing to trust each other. So they all could investigate different priorities, but for all we know, one of these guys is the cause of this in the first place. If that were the case, this would help them cover it up much better and place the blame onto somone else.

QUOTE (Autumn Sel @ Oct 4 2007, 02:42 AM) You are lucky, Captain Johnson, that you are merely a pawn for the larger machinations of the so-called Iron Coalition. If you were an actual warrior instead of a mere spokesperson, you would have the pleasure of feeling my blessed craft of death rend both your flesh and your pathethic metal in combat.

The Rixian Unity do not falter. Nor do we kowtow to your backwards Human idiocy. We are coming.

Ascension, my brothers.

The Iron Coalition is the finest military establishment in the galaxy, no man that is a member of it is a "mere spokesman". I was promoted up the ranks as any other man, via battle.
You aliens seem too wrapped up in your own false religion, that you cannot even attack us.

You are all talk and no action. It has been a long time since you were last in battle, you grow weaker by the day.
You are nothing but scholars and pious freaks, the scum of the universe, seeking out and destroying those who are defenceless, those who are brave enough to stand up to your false beliefs and deluded aspirations.

We are neither primitive nor defenceless, we will fight back.

The Iron Coalition does not fear paper tigers such as yourselves.

I'm completely unconcerned about whether it actually is an existing faction. This has been our ways for decades and stands little point in trying to change. I'm merely asking for common ground in which we can stand on a single ruling. Is it an alien race or is it one of us? if we can rule out the possibility of a new force within the vicinity of our solar system then this story is nothing but a distraction to cause fear and divert attention from whatever true plan they have. Very well execute as well.


If it's a hoax: Someone is trying to divert attention elsewhere, any where, just not them the biggest question is how would this scene mask them more then if it had not happened. whoever benefits most by having other factions fight eachother and go one wild goose chases for an elusive faction would be the #1 suspect.

If it is real: an entirely different situation, this situation is simple. it was no ones fault and we have an un-welcomed guest within our home.


The Facts: Patrol Crew was largely composed of green pilots. Attacking force voluntarily revealed itself. The situation was planned and coordinated as an Ambush and there is little proof to refute such evidence. The UC's (Unidentified Crafts) could have chosen to remain hidden. The possibilities of this attack being a fluke was next to null too. There had to be reconnaissance of some sort to succeed so well in efficiently destroying a patrol force of 7 ships. Finally inconclusion the message. this is the most reasonable bit of evidence I have for disproving the whole event as being real.

An alien race has the element of surprise. So they decide to blow that cover by ambushing a patrol? and to top it off they decide to play a message that clearly states we're going to take the entire Human race on and to top it off encroach on the 2 other races currently trying to dominate our sector, thus making it pretty clear that any form of diplomacy would be wasted effort. I could honestly believe this as being the real deal until the message on repeat was played. An Alien race may be foreign but they cannot be this strategically inferior. They blow their entire cover to kill a small force of ships and do a sloppy job of it at that. Sure the Ambushing ships could have been green as well, but this was clearly an ordered attack by whomever was high in command, otherwise there would be no need to send a broadcast of this message. Secondly if they truly wanted to remain veiled they would have atleast taken measures to dispose of the debris.

My ruling of the whole thing is that this is a hoax. That there is no actual new force out there, someone simply wanted us o think there is. Until there is further evidence of the this "alien" race, my interpretation of this whole scenario plays out as trickery, rather than malice
