Captain Newt Preston reporting... Our ship has just had a very strange encounter with a large, dagger-shaped vessel, roughly sixteen hundered meters in length... After detecting it on long range scanners, we dropped out of warp and attempted to initate contact, but instead they opened fire... That's when things got strange... We were only a few hundered kilomteres from the vessel at most, but even at that range the shots, which we later determined were some kind of low energy plasma, were wild and sporadic, with less than five percent hitting their mark... Each shot had roughly 10% of the firepower of a standard phaser blast and only the sheer numer of shots they were firing enabled them to weaken our shields... Indeed, it had taken them some time... Upwards of a minute... to get all their turrets and batteries operational, the wepaons opening fire in clumps...<BR/><BR/>I ordered the ship backed away to twenty thousand kilometers, and almost immediately they stopped firing. We determied their weapons had a cut-off distance of a few thousand kilometers at most... After that, they began launching a large number of extremely slow, unshielded winged pods of some sort... we believe they were ment to be fighters of some kind... They were no threat whatsoever to the ship, however... It would take them hours to reach us, so to sace them the trouble, we simply dropped our shields and transported their pilots directly to the brig, followed by the cargo bay when the former ran out of room...<BR/><BR/>We then hailed them again, offering to return their pilots in exchange for their ceasefire, but apparently it wasn't to be... They didn't respond and instead the ship turned away, slowly, and seemed to be powering some kind of engine just before it completely vanished from all of our sensors...<BR/><BR/>So here we are... Returning to base ahead of schedule saddled with dozens of prisoners that aren't talking, lots of questions and little in the way of answers... Surely they could detect that our vessel was vastly superior to their own, so why did they try to attack us? I don't understand it... End log..."<BR/><BR/>The Seeker, of course, being a Nova class... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12251252.post-27891410318784993362008-09-05T21:54:00.000-05:002008-09-05T21:54:00.000-05:00Reading this, I think I know how the UFP vs. Empir...Reading this, I think I know how the UFP vs. Empire would go:<BR/><BR/>"Captain, we've boarded the Death Star by transporter after breaking through the station's magnetic shield; we've beamed boarding-parties directly into their main control-areas, and we hacked into their main computer-systems-- which seem accessible from anywhere on the station; we've jammed their defense-systems, and are currently uploading the station's data. We're fighting their remaining troops; we're outnumbered, but our phasers seem to make up for that; they seem to be quite a mismatch against their single-shot plasma-weapons, which seem to be very clumsy and random-- and it looks like their troops can't see a thing in those helmets. This is curious, since they also don't seem to provide any particular protection either.<BR/>One moment: roger that. Forget the above, we've completely taken over the station, and you may transport over at any time. Awaiting further orders."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12251252.post-46502063387215431452008-08-21T11:25:00.000-05:002008-08-21T11:25:00.000-05:00<.< >.>I can has more plz? kthxbai!<.< <BR/><BR/>>.><BR/><BR/>I can has more plz? kthxbai!Ilithi Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10300247936272572280noreply@blogger.com
