Welcome back to Death Among the Stars Quest!

So some bad news. The prepwork I had done for the crunch concerning ships and resources either got corrupted or I somehow fucking forgot to save it. I know you folks are going to be pissed that the number game isn't up to speed but I didn't want to delay the thread again.

First order of business is to end this fight. The matriarch is dead and so her forces should lose morale almost utterly. Most will surrender and the few that dont will be in such small number that they will either try to kamikaze or will be a few hold outs on the planets' surface.

First things first, broadcast an image of the dead matriarch across our territory BUT don't let anyone else but the ahkam forces and our own people see it, let the rest of the galaxy think we're still fighting or that the ahkam are winning.

Elemental Event - The Arc Surge begins to fade
>The unusual increase of Arc energy galaxy wide has begun to fade in strength with the death of the Ahkam Matriarch Quantac'Vrix. While still present and providing an increase to Arc wielders and technology is is steadily declining in strength from the torrent it once was.

Current Research:
>Necrotic Drive: Slow, Unpredictable - A project attempting to use Necrotic energy to create an FTL capable engine
>Advanced Mental Reading: Medium - Experiments into remote thought scanning technology
>Elemental Disruption Experiments: Medium, Very Dangerous - An extremely dangerous experiment into testing the interactions of elemental and quasiphasic energies
>Quasiphasic Armor: Medium - Inspired by the infantry based Specter Armor to scale the technology for spaceships
>Zaeen Reconstruction: Slow - The process of Reconstructing the Zaeen Behemoth will allow the further creation of similar Reconstructed bioships
>Solar Engine: Slow - Think Tanks believe they can replicate the Sunscale's Solar-based FTL if given time
>Solar Agriculture: Fast - With the aid of Solar-empowered Armatocere the Think Tanks hope to improve their methods of agriculture and biomass generation
>Orbital Shields: Slow - With the fragility of orbital superstructures the Think Tanks propose more measures to defend them
>Psionics: Medium, possibly dangerous - The incident with the Advanced Mental Reading lab has inspired several Think Tanks to begin researching psionics by focusing on telekinesis gained from sources other than Necrotic energy
>Floral Necrotic Experiments: Unknown, Dangerous - A project proposed by a Think Tank, who worked on the original Necrotic experiments on the living that lead to the Immortals, has grown intrigued with the Armatocere Necrotic initiates and requests their aid in experimenting with Necrotic energies and floral organisms

>>1926378
Research returns!

>>1926378
Ongoing and Joint projects:
>Elemental Experiments: Ongoing, possibly Dangerous - A long-standing research goal of the Think Tanks into the various elemental energies
>Blackscale Cloning projects: Ongoing, possibly Dangerous - Efforts to create loyal clones of the Sunscale and Blackscale
>Anti-Wraith Technology: Ongoing - A joint project between the Armada and Armatocere to develop defenses against the Sun-Eater Wraiths
>Sub-Space Experiments: Ongoing, Dangerous - Risky experimentation in the nature of Sub-Space and dimensional energies
>Arc Experiments: Unknown, Unpredictable - Think Tanks are taking advantage of the Arc Surge to explore previously ignored avenues of research
>FTL Interdiction: Fast - A recently completed long-term project of the Mindvines this data contains all the Armada needs to design and replicate the technology. By utilizing a mix of gravitational manipulation and reality anchor technology a field of what the Mindvines have called "Null Grav" that heavily hampers almost all tested FTL methods, effectively negating escape by traditional FTL travel.
>Reconstructed intelligence: Unknown - Less of an experiment and more of a study and observation into investigating the cause and effects of the development of intelligence and personality within Reconstructed

With Jadyk sealed within his chrysalis and the events of the Ahkam Invasion winding down the Think Tanks have begun returning to their temporarily suspended projects. They are eager to have results for you upon your reawakening, hoping to progress with current projects and begin new research in the wake of these recent events.

Research unlocked:
>Arc Rips: Unknown, Possibly Dangerous - The mysterious tears in reality upon which Nekris and the unknown entities were able to escape from the Arc itself have mostly sealed but some rifts still linger much to the delight of the Think Tanks

>Ahkam Matriarch Dissection: Medium - Think Tanks that long wished to study an Ahkam Matriarch are excited to study the corpse of Quantac'Vrix and already begin discussing Reconstruction

>>1926396
Just to clarify, where is nekris? Is he in the chrysalis too?

>>1926398
Pretty sure hes just chillen with Eiton and the other Generals who helped us fight. He is going to get so scolded when we wake up.

>>1926396
Ok so the first corse of action is to broadcast to all akham forces we are engaged in the footage of us killing there God of gods the matriarch. If this doesn't make each and everyone of them surrender I'll be surprised

We are going to have so many snakes on our side

>>1926396
You are not Lich-Lord Jadyk of the Wormstar, leader of the New Necrotic Armada.

<First Necromancer, control of the Armada falls to you, by order of Lord Jadyk himself>

With a sigh Jor nods as he enters a large empty chamber within the Necromancers Spire of Iti'a'Ropku, "I know, I know. I'm about to call a family meeting," Jor says as the Deep Rot gives a mental note of confirmation before following the humans command.

Lacking his newly forged armor Jor stood alone in the lightless chamber with Desolation gripped in his flesh and blood hand, his thoughts rapidly shifting between topics but one constant thought rises to the surface. In the darkness he could easily see the memory that Eiton had shared with him, of Jadyk slaying the Matriarch and consuming the Arc before retreating into his chrysalis.

His reverie was interrupted as lights suddenly fills the chamber as holograms flickered into being before him, illuminating the featureless chamber. Commander Rethak nods to Jor in greeting from where his hologram materialized next to the human who returns the gesture. Dominator Valresko, his mind one more separated from the Deep Rot, was the next to appear along with holograms of Agona, Tlacex, and Muic. They nod to the Necromancer but say nothing as Predators Eiton and Nekris appear as well with the Voidknights Lorgul and Jareth.

Necromancer Jor gives a short respectful bow to the undead Generals, "Thank you for answering my summons, my friends."

Lorgul nods, his normally jovial mood replaced with a calm stoicism for the moment, "Of course, First Necromancer."

"I want to start by saying how proud and happy I am concerning the Ahkam Invasion," Jor looks to Muic, the Punisher's form Reforged and different from the last time he had seen her, "I am glad to see you healed and well, Muic. I fear Bastion would have suffered if you weren't there to defend its people."

Muic salutes with a fist against her chest and bows her head, "Bastion is my home as much as Horizon's Drop. I am only regretful I was injured so gravely to begin with," she lifts her head to look to Nekris, "Although, my return is not as momentous as the Arcwalkers," she says with a hint of amusement to her voice.

Nekris, with his eyes shining with Arclight even through the hologram, bows his head, "My return was only made possible by Jadyk and Eiton," he pauses and looks to Rethak, "And the Arcdancer that once went by the name of Orvca and does so once more. She regained her memories of her life and wishes to speak with you soon, Commander."

The Osjiic Immmortal nods, "Of course. I am excited to speak with her as well."

"We are all excited by the return of our sister and brother," came the voice of Valresko, the others turning to him, "But there still remains the issue of the invaders."

>cont

>>1926487
Jor gives a nod, "Very much so. There is still much to do and tend to, my friends," he says.

Holoscreen flicker to life before them, showing the sector map with Bastion and Urdir highlighted. Data streams by constantly, showing reports of the invaders and defenders, "The Ahkam invasion is broken for now, but we must attend to the stragglers and captives, along with those already infesting the surface of our planets," the human quasi-dead says to the Reconstructed council. He keeps his mind free of the doubts and fears that any number of the undead may find it distasteful that leadership of the Armada has fallen to him for the moment.

"How shall we deal with them, my friends?" he questions, looking to them for advice.

>Write-in

>>1926496
Show them their false goddess is dead. Give them a chance to surrender. IF they fail to do so? Eliminate the with prejudice.

>>1926496
Broadcast the footage of the matriarchs dead body to all akham in our systems, demand that they lay down there weapons and surrender.
Gather them up and put a spike or caller on all of them

>>1926496
Broadcast matriarch death. Kiĺl any who don't surrender or try to flee. We dont want the rest of the galaxy to know what happened here until we can manipulate what they learn.

>>1926496
Show them the battle(minus the parts that are irrelavent to them) and the Matriarchs corpse. Tell them that their supposed god is dead and no aid is coming for them. They may live and serve in the Armada or they may die and serve in it.

>>1926513
This.
Their God is dead, this fight as ended. Now they will bow or will join their fake god in undeath.

>>1926496
Also secure the matriarch corpse and jadyk on rucor it should be easy enough to land somewhere secure and isolated.

We could potentially get 10's of thousands of prisoners from this battle.
Where are we going to put them?
How will we get them to assimilate to to our culture? With so many all at once it would be difficult
I suggest we set a planet aside just for them for now until we can get them worked out

>>1926496
Seems to be
>Broadcast footage of the Matriarchs corpse to the Ahkam forces still in the Bastion and Urdir systems
>Demand their surrender
>Eliminate those that don't surrender or attempt escape

Sound good?

>>1926544
Sounds good to me.

>>1926544

>>1926544
Yeppers

>>1926536
We have penal fleets for processing. But a larger installation dedicated to.processing might be advised

>>1926521
This submit or be destroyed.

We want to clean this up quick and move on the offensive while they are still reeling from the matriarch death

Rolan. Tura or East are all.prime targets but I assume the Osjiic will move against Tura shortly

>>1926544
Jor taps his chin with a Reconstructed claw in thought before running the hand across his bald scalp, "It won't be pretty, but we need to capture as many of the Ahkam as we can. The serpents and their soldiers. We've already seen dissent among their ranks just from broadcasting Vle'Karak's speech of defecting to the Armada. Rebroadcast that in addition to the Matriarchs corpse, it will spread despair among them before we demand their surrender."

Lorgul scoffs, "Surrender? They should be eliminated for daring to attack the Armada."

Agona gives a short nod, "The Lavafather wishes the serpents to be punished as well, although he will defer to whatever decision we, you make, First Necromancer."

"I have no intention of letting them escape if they do not surrender," the human says in a firm voice, not willing to show weakness before this council of Generals, "Those that do not surrender peacefully and attempt to escape will be dealt with harshly to serve as a warning to the others."

"Even if only a fraction surrender to us, there will be thousands of captives. Legion's Home was damaged in the invasion so we will need another location to keep them locked up," Commander Rethak says.

Jareth speaks up, "We could convert the old slave quarters and cells of Kanda into prisons, it would be simple enough to do. Or, even closer in Bastion are the kilometers of tunnels and empty mines in the protoplanet."

Jor nods, "Very well, I will consider those options, thank you Jareth," he turns his gaze to where Valreskos image stands next to Agona's, "When they attempt to escape the system, I will leave their capture and/or destruction up to you two. You have more experience in these matters."

He presses a finger against his temple for a moment as he communicates with the Deep Rot through his symbiot, "Begin the broadcast."

Roll me 2d100 best of first 3 please

Rolled 48, 1 = 49 (2d100)

>>1926587

Rolled 33, 58 = 91 (2d100)

>>1926587

Fucking why? Last thread and now this?

Rolled 96, 42 = 138 (2d100)

>>1926587

>>1926628
>>1926602
So it looks like we convince almost all of the enemy to surrender, but all of the ones that dont get away while flipping us off.

Rolled 93, 69 = 162 (2d100)

>>1926587
Even with bad rolls I can't imagine many would not surrender.
This is quite literally the single most demoralizing thing that can happen to them.
There matriarch. There God just got killed at the hight of an ark surge at the most powerful she could be ever.

>>1926496
>the human quasi-dead
Is jor not well? I know he is changing because of the necrotic power but quasi-dead sounds rather forbidding

>>1926673
I think that term is used for Necromancers and Voidsingers. The Commander was called that a few times before his Immortality

>>1926673
I'd prefer it if he stayed human for a long time, as a bridge between the living in the Armada and the Reconstructed. Its good to have some living in the highest echelons of our group.

>>1926673
>>1926677
>>1926678
Would you prefer holy half dead?

And since the trial in Ruscovs tomb I would say Jor is barely human any more other than in appearance

>>1926587
Across the Bastion and Urdir systems the Armadas vessels target the Ahkam ships but with more than just their weaponry. Hailing frequencies are sent to their ships in addition to a general broadcast along their compromised comm lines, captured technicians implanted with Control Worms allowing the message to carry unhindered through their fleets.

The image of Vle'Karak appears along with Dne'tec and Cve'jok, the serpents beginning their proclamation of their defection and new loyalty to the Armada. A repeat of the early broadcast that had wrecked havoc upon their numbers before the Matriarch's arrival Jor knew the Nru'joks submission to Tlacex would air next, before the final footage of the slain Matriarch.

As the broadcast was sent out Valresko and Agona keep a keen watch over their foes as Armada ships closed in. Even Jareth provides his own aid, the Voidknight considered one of the best pilots among the Armada, by guiding flights of strikecraft.

Even as the three Generals focus on the strategy their images remained in the chamber. Jor clears his throat, drawing their attention, "We must discuss what we should do concerning the Matriarch corpse and Jadyk during his...vacation," he says, drawing chuckles from the Generals.

Nekris nods, his mandibles clicking together before he spoke, "The Bastion system is ideal. Between the facilities on Rukor and the protoplanet, the Matriarch can be Reconstructed as we see fit. The Fury has returned to Rukors waters to heal as it is."

As the broadcast continues Valresko snarls quietly to himself, several of the Generals looking to him briefly before he waves them off. In both Urdir and Bastion a handful of Storm Gates began to billow around ships still capable of escape, the Ahkam using the fading energies of the Arc Surge to project the supernatural clouds faster than they should be capable. Even so, Armada ships launch their attack upon those attempting escape but leave the injured and motionless unharassed for the moment.

"Where shall we take Lord Jadyk?" Illuminator Tlacex asks, speaking up for the first time during the meeting, "Vyi'a'Rthun is heavily fortified and the ructu would find it to be a great honor I am sure."

"The Lavafather offers to guard Jadyk himself upon Bastion should we agree to it," Muic says while letting Agona handle the fleets. The newly Reforged Punisher standing on the side of the Lavafathers mountain prison as she communed with her siblings.

"We could try bringing him home to Iti'a'Ropku although I am unsure if he can be moved at all right now," Rethak suggests.

As Nru'joks defeat was broadcast there came in hails and distress signals from various Ahkam ships. Many were only crewed by the serpents slaves but they send out their surrenders, the ships with working weapon systems deactivating them. Most were crewed by esat, the Deep Rot coming to the conclusion that much of the invaders fleet had been drawn from the nearby homeworld of the insectoid species.

>cont

>>1926826
Although there were of course a large number of the other races such as kosda and epikor who send out their messages of surrender. There were heavily damaged and decaying ships desperately calling for aid as their vessels fall apart around them, more than one captain or newly promoted officers asking for mercy for them and their crews.

The Generals look to Jor, the once plump former-miner feeling the gravity of the decisions that must be made that day.

Where shall the Matriarchs corpse be taken for study and Reconstruction?
>Rukor
>Bastion Protoplanet
>Other (write-in)

Where shall they attempt to secure and protect Jadyk during his transformation?

Although I'm guessing with the powers we will have when we wake up we can make him whatever we want

>>1926831
"Bring the Matriarch to the protoplanet. If we're imprisoning her subjects there, it will serve as a reminder of Jadyk's strength," Jor says while rubbing at his chin with a finger, "I would feel safer with Jadyk being home here in Iti'a'Ropku. I'm hoping we can move his chrysalis into a ship to transport him."

With his decision made Jor notices that the broadcast was waiting for him. He gives a nod to the Generals, "If you'll excuse me," he says and they give their own nods as their holograms grow indistinct.

Once more he speaks but this time his voice rings throughout Bastion and Urdir over the Ahkam airwaves as footage of Jadyk, Ruscuv, and Tlacex dueling the Matriarch is broadcast as well, "You have seen the children and champions of your false god proclaim their loyalty to us, the New Necrotic Armada. You have seen the devastation we have unleashed upon your forces, even as the Ahkam serpents are bolstered by the Arc itself."

The footage changes momentarily to show the damage that Muic, Tlacex and Ruscuv had inflicted in their raid of the Tura system. It switches over to show a various scenes of the devastation and destroyed Ahkam ships that had been in the now failed invasion. The footage switches back to a far off shot of the Matriarch high in Rukors atmosphere where she was engulfed in a growing Arc storm, marked by a beacon of Necrotic flame.

"Your invasion has failed. The Matriarch Quantac'Vrix has been slain at the hands of Lich-Lord Jadyk."

The image changes to show the now withered form of the Matriarch, her armor ruined and scales withered, several wings torn from her form. The angle does not show the mound of meat and bone that was Jadyk within his chrysalis.

"You have seen that even an honored champion of the Dynasties, Vle'Karak the Butcher, has seen the strength of this Armada and agreed to join us. Vle'Karak and the other Ahkam that have already joined us were given an offer. An offer to serve in life, or to serve in undeath.

"This offer I extend to every soldier and child of the slain Matriarch. Surrender yourselves, your weapons and your ships to the Armada and you will keep your lives. Refuse, or attempt escape, and you will join your Matriarch in death," As he spoke and his message is carried across the systems Valresko, Jareth and Agona launch their attacks against those that attempt to flee but to their anger and frustration they watch as several Storm Gates fade, their attacks passing through the lingering clouds harmlessly.

>>1927267
"The Matriarch Quantac'Vrix attempted to use the Arc Surge in her plot for revenge against us, against those that refused to bow to her whims and allow their worlds to be despoiled and their kin turned into weapons for her vanity. Through her death our Armada grows in strength. It can become so much stronger though, if you were to join us of your own will.

"For that is the way of the New Necrotic Armada. Those that attempt to harm us are broken and knocked down, but through the Armada and the teachings of Jadyk and the Wormstar, our enemies have become honored friends and stalwart allies. The way of the Armada is not subjugation and persecution as it is with the Dynasties, it is of rebirth and reforging, of strengthening yourselves by joining and bringing this strength to enrich the lives of friends and allies.

"I myself was brought screaming and struggling into the fold of the Armada, a reluctant recruit," Jor says suddenly, surprising Rethak and the other Generals, "But now, I have come to see the true path of the Armada. There are those that would call us heretics and abominations for our belief that all can be equal, despite their might or power or race. But our path is the path of Salvation and Redemption. Heed my pleas and surrender yourselves, be you Ahkam or Epikor or Kosda or Esat or Tyrre or whatever you may be, and you shall have a place among us, among our Armada."

His voice fades from the broadcast that continues to show the withered form of the Matriarch and her grim wounds.

Jor turns his attention to the holoscreen displays, worried that his proclamation was ignored or spurred them toward desperation but as several moments pass, several more warships manage to escape while others are crippled and stranded.

Finally, when Jor believes that he has failed, the Deep Rot alerts him to a hail sent toward a battleship near Rukor, the first of many that begin pouring in.

With a motion of his hand a holoscreen flickers into being before him and a green-scaled, young male Ahkam regards Jor through the connection. Their tongue flickers out several times before they speak, "I am Vil'cva. I had never wished to launch this assault upon your Armada. My servants did not deserve their deaths, nor do I wish to doom them to your undeath," they fall silent for a moment then bow their head, their bladed tail reaching up to touch the horns that curl from above their eyes, "I surrender myself and all those under my command to the mercy of the New Necrotic Armada. My mother is slain, along with many of my siblings, and I have no desire to join them."

Jor was nearly stunned by the message but he holds himself together, giving a polite bow of his head in return, "Thank you Vil'cva, I pray to the Wormstar that your surviving siblings will share your pragmatism."

The serpent gives a short nod before the connection is severed and the holograms of the others resolidify.

>cont

>>1927276
Valresko was the first to speak, "That went better than I thought."

Agona grumbles as another Ahkam battlecruiser escapes before her ships could close in on them, "I must agree, but it is a shame so many have managed to flee our grasp."

Tlacex laughs, "Do not fear, my siblings in undeath. More and more are calling out their surrender. We have much to tend to now."

The Illuminator was correct as more hails are received, from uninjured to heavily damaged warships, they call out their surrender and plead for the mercy of the Armada. While there were many soldiers to process and rescue, a portion unlikely to survive as their ships deteriorate even further in the deadly vacuum of space, the Deep Rot confirms over the next hour a number of Ahkam serpents who send in their own messages.

Current surrendered Ahkam:

Very sorry about this folks, but due to some shit happening irl I must delay the rest of the thread until tomorrow or later tonight. I feel sobad about this, I'm sorry

>>1927280
It's ok man

>>1927280
All good Grave. Hope everything's ok

>>1926602
Boy, wouldn't be a DATS thread without someone immediately rolling a critfail.

>>1927280
This was a short but fulfilling run. All dem new recruits and citizens, we're finally gonna start filling out our Legion and cities.

>>1927514
Or the curse rearing its ugly head

>>1927537
Check the population of civilians and legionnaires. Bout to get even bigger

First thing we do after we wake up and scold/hug Nekris is personally visit the Old Armada general we met a few days before the battle. He seemed like a guy with a sensitive ego and personally visiting and showing out might(without showing of,like bringing a fleet) may sooth his ego.

>>1928533
Who can we send that won't offend him? We can't go ourselves, we are in a crystal.
Any underlying we send would offend him
If we explain why we can't go ourselves it will offend him because it would make us seem grandiose

I fucking missed it. wormstar damn it.

so three things.
one is talk with the old general. like>>1928533 said hes a sensitive bastard but I think hes someone who we should try to start of nice with but lay down the law. we are bigger, we are stronger, we are better. you will do as we say or you will be forcefully consumed/reconstructed.

2. any spare generals, I personally think one of the punishers and void knights and maybe nekris take the day to be down loaded into an "AI" file. don't want to go through the whole nekris bullshit again.

and lastly from the last thread I'm in favour of the ship list he put together. I will try to find it and post here.

as a closing point I found where all our luck and nat 100 goes. a quest called artificer quest. in 8 threads they rolled 7 nat 100's and 1 nat one.....that was negated due to fate point.

>>1928560
I said when WHEN we wake up. It would be better if we waited and went ourselves then send another underling.

>>1928634
Oh sorry, but we need to tell him something
We don't know how long we will be out of commission, and if we do nothing now he will be offended

I say we send jor to lay down the law like in this post >>1928629
Sending the active head of the armada shows we respect him, but laying down the law shows we are no nonsense

>>1928940
I nominate Jor and Ruscuv to send.

>
and lastly from the last thread I'm in favour of the ship list he put together. I will try to find it and post here.

Did you mean threadly income ship build of something like 120 orders of the listed fleet build thing

>>1928940
But he is old necrotic Armada and we don't know if his God is actually dead so sending Jor might have catastrophic consequences

If you want to put the fear Jaydk into him. Send Valresko

>>1929046
Don't send anyone. Tell him that now that the battle is done we require him to come to us.
He is a small fish and we are the leviathan.

We need to scout and be prepared to intervene in civil wars on the akham planets near us. Surviving akham and loyalists are going to go to town on their own if they so much as smell a fart in their general direction after this

>>1929060
He is still a member of the Old Armada and deserves a modicum of respect. We dont have to walk on egg shells, but its still polite. Left unchecked, his undead will almost certainly give us a bad name.

>>1929077
>>1928629
We should send Ruscuv.

Yeah yeah I know it seems crazy, she his not the diplomative sort, but remember, she is from the Old Armada, the guy seemed to have a big ego and to despise the newcomer on the galactic game, but if we send someone of the Good Old Armade he will maybe be more inclined to listen to us.

The fact she could kick the living shit out of him if he do anything stupid don't hurt either.

What was the wording used after our duel
"I will follow you, for now"

Secondly we have little to no control over Ruscov.

Thirdly I don't think she really gives a shit about the living and is still trying to figure out Jaydks new obsession with attaining as many pets in the universe as possible

Am I implying Jaydk is the crazy cat lady of the Armada.... perhaps

>>1929113
Ruscuv have clearly seen our power while fighting the Matriarch, and she can probably feel that right now we are becoming something REALLY nasty.

She won't betray us now, especially for a secondary member of the Old Armada she could probably eat for breakfeast.
The other guy seems to be powerfull, but not the like of us of even big insect lady.

>>1929113
We did put a bit of our essence in her when she was being regenerated, and she has been shown to respect us. She may make a good medium between our blooming new philosophy and the mind set of the Old Armada.

>>1927280
Okay resuming thread for a while. Won't be able to do a full allnight run but I have a few hours I think.

Seems to be some discussion for contacting Zekrul or sending a diplomat to meet with him.
How do you wish to proceed?
>Have Jor contact him and explain the situation
>Send a General to speak with him in person
>Wait for Jadyk to emerge

>>1929278
>>Wait for Jadyk to emerge

I think he'd be more offended with us sending a living minion than being delayed a bit longer

>>1929278
>Wait for Jadyk to emerge
He can wait for a bit. Jadyk shouldn't be indisposed for too long...I hope.

Everything going all right now Graves?

I am against the idea but at the same time I want to see how this pans out

With the general thought being sending Ruscuv. Just to make sure though

Guy is cold but more importantly chill, he will know when to calm down the discussion if he see it get out of hands.

>>1929377
Hmmmm. I think it might be nice if we sent a witness/someone a bit less boisterous then Ruscov to go with her. How about Red-Leaf-Stains? She could sue some field work and the opportunity to travel the stars.
>Send Ruscuv with another General (Red-Leaf-Strains)

>>1929413
*whoops. Meant >Send someone else entirely

Remember guys,if anybody supports an idea that someone else proposed,just comment so. It will help keep the thread going.

>>1929377
Send her with Valresko


Red isn't a general else I would support.

He can mitigate any "let's fight to see who's strongest" urges our latest blood knight might have

>>1929412

It has the bonus benefit of having an example of the value of the living there. Although he isn't living anymore, he once was and was useful so the point stands

>Send Ruscuv with Valresko

The holograms had faded as the Generals turned to the tasks of processing the new captives and crushing pockets of lingering resistance. This had left Jor alone to look over the display of holoscreens while discussing with the Deep Rot their next actions. The memory of Jadyk telling him of the ancient undead Zekrul returns to him as he looks over the placement of the Armadas forces and sees the small stealth fleet still within their claimed system.

A few minutes later after a mental summons was sent through the Deep Rot two holograms flicker into being. Valresko had returned to overseeing subduing the remaining Ahkam warship, giving a polite nod of his head to the human, "First Necromancer."

The other was the larger form of Ruscuv, the Lich missing the earlier meeting while distracted overseeing the subjugation of a particularly unruly Ahkam serpent. She gives a bow, the tendrils hanging by her complex array of mandibles coiling lazily, "Hello Jor, you have something to discuss?"

Running a hand across his scalp the human nods, "Yes, thank you both. About a week or so ago Lord Jadyk discovered that another survivor of the Old Armada has risen to power," he waves a hand and a holoscreen shows footage of the burning undead, "A Zekrul who once served the Charred God. You may remember them Ruscuv."

The pincer of her tail clicks several times as she regards the image, "Vaguely. A minor player on the Undying Court if I recall correctly," she glances to Valresko then Jor with a shrug, "I rarely paid much attention to the politics of the Court."

"Either way, contact was made and from what Jadyk told me, this Zekrul was defeated and entombed much like he was. They have already completely subjugated the populace of the Confederate colony that accidentally released him and appears to be using cloning much like the rogue Necromancer and the Immortal in Refuge were," more holoscreens appear showing the spy footage that the stealthcraft and Eyegore were able to uncover, "He's taken over much of the system and is in the process of rapidly building starships. Recent intel gained just today show that his first corvettes have been completed."

A video shows a somewhat crude, but functional corvette rising up from a construction pylon located on the moon as Ruscuv chuckles, "They do appear industrious at least."

Jor continues, "The issue is that they have already proclaimed themselves head of the "New Necrotic Armada" upon believing himself to be the only survivor."

"Well clearly he can't call himself that unless he joins us," Ruscuv says with disdain, "We're the Armada now and we should ensure he knows it."

The human chuckles and nods, "Obviously. Zekrul appeared insulted when Jadyk was not able to arrive in person due to the Ahkam invasion, and clearly he is still not in a state where he can. Even the Harbingers have gone silent."

Valresko speaks for the first time since his hologram reappeared, "And am I to intuit that is why you contacted us, First Necromancer?"

"Yes. If you two don't mind a short trip, I would like to send you both to ensure he doesn't start a war with the Confeds or someone else by using our name. Also to keep him appeased. Jadyk seems interested in either taking him into the fold of the Armada or at least keeping him under control," Jor says, "I know I am not Jadyk so I am sure it must be strange receiving orders or missions from me, but I believe you two are my best choices. He will fear both of your strengths.

"Most of all he should respect you for being one of the heroes of the old Armada, Ruscuv. Jadyk told me of how your name made the champions of the other factions back down out of fear of your wrath," he says with a polite bow to the Lich.

She was silent for a moment and glances at Valresko before nodding, "Very well, I suppose it will be nice to see an old war-buddy like that. Are you sure you do not need my aid with the Ahkam?"

"Should an emergency arise you will be the first I recall," he says, the Lich giving an approving click of her mandible array.

"Very well, I will prepare to leave shortly," she gives a short bow to both Jor and the Dominator, "I do look forward to working with you, Valresko."

The Solar undead returns the gesture, "As do I, Lich-Lord Ruscuv."

As Ruscuvs hologram fades as she returns to her Palanquin Valresko looks to Jor, "You are indeed not Jadyk," he pauses and the human tenses uncertainly, "But you have proven your worth so far, First Necromancer. I must assume I am being sent not just to intimidate this Zekrul with the Solar am I?"

Jor was silent and Valresko nods, "Very well. I shall keep Jadyk's sister Lich under control and ensure this Zekrul does not overstep himself," he salutes and bows his head, "To Death and through it to Eternity. Good luck, First Necromancer."

Bowing the Necromancer gives a smile, "Thank you Valresko. Good luck to you as well, may the Wormstar guide you."

Before the hologram fades Valresko hesitates before speaking, "I only ask that you keep watch over the Blackscale. They are unbound by Spike nor Symbiot. They very nearly worship Jadyk but they are full of their own plots and designs."

"Of course, Valresko. They are my cousins in Necromancy now," he says with a chuckle as the hologram fades.

>Dominator Valresko and Lich Ruscuv have been deployed to contact Zekrul

>>1929649
Ok, so when do we roll to see how many prisoners we got and what tech we get to research?

>>1929649
The Deep Rot sends word to Jor as a holoscreen is projected for him and displays several issues that he must tend to. With a sigh he looks over them quickly, the Symbiot attached to his spine letting him absorb the information faster than he could actually read.

Attention needed:
>The Armatocere Warleader and Sapling Slrrt wish to speak with Jadyk or a General
>Blackscale Guir in the Urdir system sends an urgent note asking for Jadyk's attention
>The Smugglers are attempting to contact Jor concerning their route and the complications encountered on Veraga
>The Ructu council of elders on Rukor wish to speak
>The ships sent to investigate the world of Nest with the Armatocere arrived and await commands.

What should Jor tend to first?

>>1929695
Soon

>>1929706
>Blackscale Guir in the Urdir system sends an urgent note asking for Jadyk's attention
This first.

>The ships sent to investigate the world of Nest with the Armatocere arrived and await commands.
Not an emergency.
>The Ructu council of elders on Rukor wish to speak
They can try to start rebuilding any damage their planet received while they wait.
>The Armatocere Warleader and Sapling Slrrt wish to speak with Jadyk or a General
I doubt a few dozen minutes will make a difference if there ships are needed elsewhere.
>The Smugglers are attempting to contact Jor concerning their route and the complications encountered on Veraga
If they could make the call and not a request for help, then they can wait in line a bit longer.
>Blackscale Guir in the Urdir system sends an urgent note asking for Jadyk's attention
The key word is "Urgent".

>>1929706
>>Blackscale Guir in the Urdir system sends an urgent note asking for Jadyk's attention

>>1929713
Agreed

>>1929713
Yep blackscale first

>>1929706
Blackscales
Then armotocere
Then Rukor

>>1929760

>>1929706
Jor frowns at the timing of the Blackscales message coming so soon after Valresko's warning. With a thought to the Deep Rot a connection is established and after a few moments as the time dilation was attuned a holoscreen appears before him.

Guir stood in one of the science labs where they made the alterations and tampered with the Sunscale genome. His look of concern turns to surprise then suspicion at seeing the human, "Where is Jadyk?" he demands suddenly.

Jor holds back his sigh of exasperation, instead bowing politely to the lizard, "Greetings Necromancer Guir. Lord Jadyk is indisposed following the battle with the Matriarch Ahkam."

Hissing in concern they tilt their head slightly, "Is he unharmed? The Reconstructed spoke with his voice then went silent."

"At the moment he appears unharmed but he is occupied with attuning to the Arc after stealing it from the Matriarch. Much like he did when he gained the Solar he is having to take a bit to himself," Jor says, the Blackscale muttering some short prayer to the Wormstar at the news.

Clearing their throat he nods, "I am glad he survived. Not even the Sunscale will fight with a Matriarch if they can avoid it," he says while tapping his chin with a wicked claw as he thinks to himself with whispered mumblings.

"You said there was some urgent matter?" Jor asks, trying to hide his impatience for the peculiar reptilian.

Guir blinks as if remembering Jor was there then gives a quick bob of his head, "Yes. Jor, you are a Necromancer yes?"

"First Necromacer, yes."

"Hm, First Necromancer, of course," they wave a hand dismissively before continuing, "Have you slept recently?"

Taken aback Jor ponders for a moment then shakes his head, "I have not. The invasion kept my attention. I thought us Necromancers don't sleep often?"

"We don't but when we do..." he trails off then points a claw to the screen, "I did hear Valresko say you have had the visions we are."

Jor was silent a moment as he recalls his most recent dreams, "Dreams of Green, of scales, rot and eyes," he looks to the lizard intently, "Do you have an idea what it could be?"

Bobbing their head quickly the Blackscale reaches off screen and lifts scrolltube covered in Sunscale sigils and runes, "I thought it was familiar so I went and looked through some of our records we moved off our ship. The Sunscale histories from before the old Armada mention something about a Curse of the Green."

>cont

>>1929782
They growl in annoyance as they pull a scroll of vast age from the tube, eyes scanning over it quickly, "Why must they be so vague..." finally they shrug and look back to Jor, "It does not say what it is, only listing it among calamities from before the Mother and Father sundered the homeworld to bring the Sunscale into the stars. Curse of the Green, the Screaming Stones, the Tragedy of the Wayward Scout, the Blighting of the Divers, the Broken Debt and Betrayed Prince," they wave a hand dismissively again, "As you can see, my orthodox ancestors loved giving grand names to tragic events."

Jor rubs his chin with a finger, "I am curious about learning more about the Sunscale but this Curse of the Green, there is no info?"

Guir shakes his head, hissing faintly, "Sadly no. There may be more info on the Pestilence or among the other Cabals. I've already asked my sister and brother to ask our cousin Cabals if they have any inclination. My concern is that among some of the clones we have in stasis have had similar visions to our dreams recorded by the Think Tanks in charge of their programming. I do not think it a coincidence and I am...fearful of the implications now that I am the only one of my Cabal here with Valresko missing," Jor could tell it took some effort to admit his fear to a human even if he was Jadyk's favored disciple, "I am grateful that there are still some of his Solar Arbiters here but..."

"What would you suggest?" Jor asks.

Guir was silent for a few moments then gives a shrug as he rolls up the ancient scroll carefully and replaces it in the tube, "I honestly cannot say. It was a dream that convinced us to go to the world that Lord Jadyk discovered us, and your dream that inspired Iti'a'Ropku, so clearly dreams have importance to us Necromancers. This is why I wished to consult Lord Jadyk."

How should Jor proceed with these concerns?
>Write-in

>>1929785
Keep the clones isolated.VERY isolated. The "Curse" could be a kind of disease and it could spread in any manner of ways, via air,water,waste,the mind,even space itself. The Blackscales should also be given frequent check ups and psychological examinations for any abnormalities. This dream will eventually come true and when it does I would hope the nightmare that it will be will not last long.

>>1929785
Kill the clones
All of them

>>1929812
This and should anything go wrong resort to this>>1929815

Besides the clones where merely a stepping stone towards the wormscale project we don't actually need them any more so perhaps we should.just... have the black scales "process" them as they make terrible reconstructed.. can we put that one poor sunscale talon to rest?

>>1929826
Also what are the awoken workers and divers doing?

>>1929815
This NOW

We can make more later, and we don't really stand to gain much by keeping them.
It was a dead end project from the beginning

>>1929826
>>1929826
To be fair to the Blackscale, the Sunscale Reconstructed was a prototype. They just haven't been practicing since they've been so busy with the Wormscale Project and then meeting up with the other Cabal.

>>1929841
They're keeping on doing their thing. They would be getting restless but the Narcotikelp and pheromones pumped into the chamber are keeping them docile and content. The Workers have made huts for them all and appear content to keep building stuff.

>>1929854
Do we have any research into the nature of dreams?
I know we can influence them with dreamstone but can we detect if dreams are affected by anything else?

>>1929854
Can they practice with some of their existing reanimated sunscale?

Random idea

If it's a plague we could try to foster and weaponize it (queue horror movie intro title)

They have planned that but haven't had the time (mostly because I kinda forgot about that plan of theirs, oops)

>>1929894
You have not actually. Could have a vote to add that to the ongoing projects since that would involve experimenting over time.

>>1929919
Yeah, like the inability to control it. Imagine a bioweapon, now imagine that you didnt need physical contact to spread it. If we cant control how it spreads and how far, plagues get tabled indefinitely.

Jor was silent as he pondered before he answers, gripping his semi-sentient staff in one hand, "I would isolate the clones and put them under heavy guard, including the ones still in stasis. Have the Deep Rot create some more Reconstructed to stand guard over them. If they start to act up, I would suggest disposing of them immediately. Kill the Warbloods for your Knights if you must but do not awaken any, I saw the report of the attempts," he says with a faint chuckle that is joined by the lizards gurgling laugh.

Guir bobs his head, "I had similar thoughts, glad to see I have support. I shall keep them on ice until my siblings return and we can begin the process of Reconstructing the clones," he pauses as he looks offscreen as there is a clatter of metal and he shakes his head, "Honestly, between us, my siblings and I could use the practice."

Jor nods with a smile, "You and your siblings are always welcome to visit or join us here in the Necromancers Spire of Iti'a'Ropku. My students would love to meet the other Necromancers of the Armada."

"Hm, I did enjoy my visit to the city. That native, Red Vine Springs, appeared formidable," he says and Jor takes a moment to realize who he meant.

"Ah, yes. Red-Leaf-Strains is a close friend and my second-in-command when instructing the apprentices. She has become an integral part in the Armada," Jor says, "If you would like, I can send some of my Necromancers to assist you."

The lizard frowns for a moment in thought. The Deep Rot mentally contacts Jor, saying the hidden empathic sensors in the Blackscales lab reported a spike of suspicion and then acceptance.

Finally Guir bobs his head, "If you can spare them, I will not turn them away. It is rare that we work with Necromancers of other races. Most are too prideful to share glory," he says with a scoff.

"Do not fear, Guir. My Necromancers work well with others. I shall send one of my prized students, a vorh who has a natural talent for Reconstruction," Jor says, already sending a mental thought through the Deep Rot for the Necromancers to mobilize as the Blackscale nods, "Was there anything else you required? I know Jadyk is very excited to see the results of your Wormscale project and I wish to help in what ways I can."

"You have been...very accommodating, First Necromancer. The aid is appreciated," he says with a bow of his head before speaking in the Wormtongue, "May the Wormstar guide you, Brother."

Jor gives a polite bow of his own, repeating the phrase in the same language, "May the Wormstar guide you, Brother."

As the holoscreen flickers out Jor pauses a moment in thought before contacting the Deep Rot.

>>1933145
Personally,i'd like it if he appeared in his normal form(with a few tweaks, such as green no longer being his ambient color), but at times there are things that hint at the full might underneath the surface: change in voice, sudden increase in pressure, sudden and slow warpage of his form that is quickly fixed. The simpleness of the form only makes people more nervous because of the difference between it and his apparent strength.

Thats why i'd prefer something simple. Ghul looked a tad skeletal and he was all Void. Im not saying that we cant have a bit extra or maybe even multiple forms, but the standard "walking and talking" form should be something simple, yet distinct. Not some many angled, many dimensional "thing" , though your image is closer to what I was thinking(still just a wee bit too eldritch)

But we should look a bit Eldritch, we are abomination.

What if we model our new form after the young races under Jadyk's protection, like the Stonestar and Ructu and Plainstriders? So we might have an external exoskeleton and scales layered on top of unliving muscle with a second skeleton underneath. Jadyk's head and face could be humanoid, but with external mandibles. A second set of eyes, or maybe just a glowing third eye that ripples with the energies he contains. He could retain his tall stature, but be more filled out because of the muscle, and he could have a second set of arms. Maybe even include a tail?

I mean, shit, Jadyk is going to be as close to true divinity as any mortal has ever witnessed first-hand.

Of course. I just think it would be nice if he had a mortal-ish form,similar to his current one(with a few differences) and an unsealed one, in which he lets takes his "true form". Yours seems even closer to what I was thinking of.
I just like to imagine him appearing in person in the Confederacy Legislative building because they want to yell at him or something, he strolls up in a simple skelly form, they start lambasting him, we calmly tell them why they are full of shit, and when they start slinging threats and insults towards our people, then we show our form and have the entire building/ everything in a 100 mile radius(including minds) reverberate with just how sick of their shit we are.
We are Abomination and Salvation but we are The Conquering Worm. We started from next to nothing and,through our own persistence, achieved Transcendence. We must not forget from whence we came: a simple corpse(with a KAWAII DESU NE worm)

>>1933877
This is kiiiiinda what I was thinking, though broader and with less detail than I'd wanted. But, quick sketch, so fuck it.

Also, I thought that maybe Jadyk's new form could incorporate all of the various elements that make up the Armada; not just the powers of Arc, Void, Necrotic and Solar, but even those things used by our allies and friends. So, his new form includes Dirge crystals emerging from various points on his body, while his shoulders have 'natural' pauldrons that evoke gnarled roots and branches or the massive antlers or Catoblas, and he could wear a ceremonial ceramic armor and obsidian to represent the close relationship with Bastion and the Lavafather.

My idea is that because we are abomination we should always look a bit eldritch, we are already limiting it but it can only be hidden in part.

>>1934312
Huh. Neat.

>>1934183
Oh damn that's pretty sweet. While I'm still debating with myself about Jadyk's upgrades and if any of it is cosmetic, this could easily be one of his many forms from the Old Armada.

Also looks like a fusion of Nekris and Valresko, who were in turn each inspired partially but General Grievous

Looking at the prisoners list and don't see the rogue necromancer that Jor and the Commander took down in Refuge.

Did he get Reconstructed or just forgotten?

>>1941158
Did you read the archives too? He was turned into weapons for jor.

Thread resuming in a few.

>>1941158
The rogue Necromancer Martin Graim is currently a prisoner and somehow he fell off the list when I was updating it or I somehow forgot to add him to it.

I was sort of waiting for the Invasion to wrap up before addressing him proper.

>>1941391
The Caretaker that was in charge of Ruscuvs reanimation and took Jors arm as the catalyst for it was used as the sacrifice for the creation of Desolation. The ritual also utilized the fossilized Talon skull he gained from the Masked in his own challenge, topping the staff itself.

The remains of the human Immortal that unlocked Graim's potential and set the Refuge Crisis into motion were used in the same ritual to craft himself a set of powered armor for the next time he has to get his hands dirty.

>>1941422
After the holoscreen of the Blackscale Necromancer flickered out Jor was silent in the darkness of the chamber for a few minutes before a thought as another hologram is projected before him that he stares at while waiting. Moments later a hologram of Commander Rethak appears beside him.

The osjiic undead gives a quick bow to the human, "First Necromancer," he says in a serious tone.

Jor turns and gives a similar bow, "Commander Rethak," he says in an equally serious tone before they both laugh at themselves and the formality, "Thank you for answering so quickly, my friend."

Nodding Rethak folds his arms across his chest, "Of course. Filling in for Jadyk must be stressful so if you need my aid, just ask."

"Nothing too important right now, I know you're busy seeing to the Urdir system and Legion's Home, but I thought I'd get your opinion on something," Jor says, his jovial mood souring as he motions to the hologram that would appear before Rethak as he stood in a private chamber of the Mirrorsoul Battleship.

"I thought Jadyk killed him," Rethak says in a cold voice as they look at the form of the rogue Necromancer Martin Graim as he floated in a med-pod somewhere deep below Iti'a'Ropku.

"They were healing from our battle with him and then Arc Surge and the invasion distracted him," Jor says as data about the humans health and mental readings are displayed, "It appears that the Symbiot implanted in him and the Think Tanks psionics cannot penetrate his dreams or mindscape. They theorize it is because he is a Necromancer not of Jadyk's influence."

"All the more reason to dispose of or Reconstruct him. I know Jadyk has an obsession with reforming the wayward and lost, giving his enemies second chances. But this Necromancer, this human," Rethak spits out disdainfully, "Has caused suffering on an untold scale. He didn't launch an attack against a military equipped civilization, he unleashed a plague upon helpless millions. They are beyond redemption."

Jor was silent a moment before he answers, "I agree with you, fully, Rethak. If I was the one who had to choose their fate, I would throw them into a Cauldron right now and be done with it. I hardly wish to even speak with them after I saw what he did, when I looked through his memories in our battle with him as I tore his control of the undead hordes from him. I saw the carnage he unleashed and no punishment either of us could conceive would be enough."

"Then what do we do?" Rethak questions simply.

What shall Jor and Rethak do concerning the rogue Necromancer for now?
>Write-in

>>1941551
He's Jadyk's little project, doing something to it in his stead wouldn't be wise. Leave it, let him rot until Jadyk returns, then bring up what we believe his fate should be then.

>>1941551
>Jadyk has plans for him, but I don't want him in Iti'a'Ropku a moment longer. I've considered having him buried in the tunnels of the moon, or in the ark temple above Rukor until he is needed, but with the battle in Bastion still needing to be cleaned up and the moon still being too close for comfort I happened on a pleasant thought. Would you mind taking him on at Legions home? Maybe as a trophy of some sort? He was captured more by the blood of your legionaries than the necromancers after all. That and though Im sure Legions Home isnt the most secure of all places with the wraiths about, and has its own repairs to deal with, I think it is quite far from any where he could cause harm to the innocent, having him surrounded by veteran warriors who would kill him sooner than let him breathe under his own power seems quite secure.

I'd want to continue to keep him in stasis of course, unless you can think of a safe way to make use of him yourself.

Maybe as a test of their ability since we got about as much info as we are going to get out of him without using a Nid on him and wasting a potential hero unit

Jor rubs at his chin with a finger for several long moments before he lets out a sigh and shakes his head, "As much as I wish I could throw him into the Cauldrons myself, it is up to Lord Jadyk to order it. I will plead my case to him once he awakens but the final say should remain up to him."

Rethak nods, "I figured as much," he says while looking at the hologram of the unconscious Necromancer before waving it away.

"I must return to overseeing this system. Just contact me should you need me again, Jor," the Immortal gives a quick salute.

"Of course, thank you Rethak," Jor says with a quick bow and the hologram of the Voidsinger flickers out.

Looking to the image of the Necromancer for some time Jor shakes his head and waves his hand, the image flickering out as he turns his attention to other matters.

As Jor turns his mind to other matters the Deep Rot sends an alert to him originating from the Eyegore in the Tura system. Waving his hand Jor has an array of holoscreens appear before him displaying footage taken by the Eyegore and its remote drones.

Much of the forces within the system had been directed toward the invasion sent after your systems, leaving a relatively minor fleet presence to stand guard. This weakness was currently being exploited as Jor watches bursts of Voidlight and radiation marking the arrival of Osjiic Empire fleets. The picket forces over Tura-Ve and Tura-Ro quickly moving to intercept the invaders but it was clear from the beginning that the once strictly controlled Ahkam forces were suffering from internal confusion and possible strife as ships were slow to action or even entirely absent from formations.

Jor watches in morbid curiosity as the Empire begins its assault with a slightly larger force, surprised they would launch such a brazen attack with the Arc Surge hardly weakened. A short message is sent along from the Voidknights who state they are already aware of the situation and monitoring it closely. They have also gone to high alert in preparation for defending against possible Imperial incursions in spite of the supposed ceasefire instigated by 13 Ascendant Blade.

Already Imperial bombers had breached the atmosphere of the worlds and began their bombardments with strikecraft assaulting the space elevator already damaged by Ruscuvs dramatic raid on Tura-Ve. The system falls into chaos and Jor can do little more than watch before turning his mind away from it. While he sympathized for those who may gladly abandon the Ahkam and join them were engaged in fighting against the invaders he knew it was not his place to order an invasion to protect potential recruits.

so just did the maths for Flagships..

We have enough Biomass to make 596
But only enough metal to make 98.2 flagships... we need to get our minning income into shape.

Currently only 4 planets have either Fingers or space elevators. these are Horizons drop [4] Rukor [1] Bastion [2] [I suggest we build on these as it will have the lease impact on general build orders and ease contruction. I should also suggest we build a hell of alot more fingers.. cause we want a firm wormstar fist on ever planet we hold.

So i suggest we make 4 flagships. 1 for each of the elements. 1 Void, 1 Solar, 1 Arc and... well for the 4th im thinking for the legion as the Punishers currently have one with Lava father [also if we havent we should share tech for building flagships with the lava father]

1 Thank the generals for their assistance, ask if they have pressing matters to turn to or if they would like they can take a moment of shore leave on our planets as thank you.

2 See if there is pressing matters they need assistance with, thank them and their people for helping to defend against the invaders. etc

I was the anon who proposed to transform it into our factory-forteress. After all, the Osjiic already pollued this planet to the core, I don't think we should be worried about the ecologic impact of our installation here.

This planet was the center of their industry in this system for a reason; we should start to build great mine, factory, etc.
The biomass needs of the population and the population themselve would dwell under great bio-dome. I think about a "cluster of bubbles" idea with one great biodomes for the population to live in and a number of smaller dome around it, who serve specialised need.

The Capital would of course be the biggest one.

The rest of the planet outside of the dome would basicly be : Mine-Factory - Exploitation - Defense System- Forteress....

If people are for it then sure, but I have a few questions first.

1 do we have undisputed control
2 has the population been moved off world or into processing plants to make them into happy little Citizens
3 are all the prisoners imprisoned

I would hate to spend alot of resources setting up the planet only to find theres some happy little insurgents with a dirty bomb ready to knock it over.

how ever if our control is even just 80% im happy to risk it and add the costs to the above build order because i agree, its going to be our industrial powerhouse and a good jumping point into osjiic territories.

>>1943561
This does sound good, maybe we could even try making lake sized cauldrons, turn it into vampire counts take over a forgeworld type vibe going.

>>1943576
I think we cleansed any resistance since a longtime. The Battle of Kanda was a life time ago, and there is not many place to hide outside of the City-forteress.

>>1943604
it was more you know.......a month, 2 months at most ago. and yes we cleared all resistance.

>>1943576
>>1943579
I happily endorse the idea of a lake sized cauldron but can we please put up a sort of retractable roof like covering. because I don't want any shit falling in that might hurt. so do we build it above ground or bellow?

>>1943612
Yes yes, I was not being litteral.

Sorry for disappearing last night folks, passed out hard in my chair. Woke up a few hours later with a very bad stiff neck.

We'll be continuing the thread later today since I don't have to worry about competition from HQQ today

>>1944752

>>1944752
Sorry m8, the thread are active pretty late in my timezone and I just felt assleep last night.

Going to look into the viability of a caffeine drip.

Is caffeine ok to be taken intravenously?
(Try not ruinous yourself too hard graves)

>>1943612
Supporting the idea to add lands but.. it was a month or so IRL but in game it's been less as we've had a lot of threads to cover the matriarch fight so.. gonna need grave to advise just how far along the pacification has been going

>>1943518
Supporting but... do those costs include the ship queue and flagship costs as well as the recent ship building requests can we afford them all at once?

>>1944752
I know I am one constant stream of disappointment, but thread will actually be tomorrow when I should have some actual free time

Lurkin

For the first time in several hours light not cast by holograms fill the chamber as the doorway of chitin flexes open much larger than it had to allow Jor entry. Stepping through was the large form of Red-Leaf-Strains, her staff folded neatly against the armor of her torso ready at hand, her gargoyle familiar draped loosely across her shoulders as it looked at the human with its large red eye.

Jor turns and gives a bow to the much larger Necromancer who returns the gesture, the trinkets of bone and metal woven into her braided mane jangling softly. Many were gifts from the new citizenry she helped acclimate during their migration from Kanda and those "adopted" by the Armada through other circumstances, the matronly osogo feeling compelled to help them adjust comfortably much as she had and still does with the stream of pilgrims of her own people.

"How goes the task of overseeing the Armada? Not too stressful I hope," the plainsrunner says with a squinted smile and flick of her ears.

"I do not envy Lord Jadyk, I will admit," he replies with a chuckle. With a wave of his hand a nearby brazier ignites with Necrotic flames, illuminating a corner of the darkened chamber, "How are the new Necromancers?"

"Most are adept learners. As you predicted, the ructu students are among my fastest learning. I almost envy the skill at which they guide the Necrotic," she says with pride. As they spoke they move over to the brazier, drawn to the corrosive energy as if to a comforting fire.

Jor smiles, "That is good to hear. I cannot express how much I have grown to rely on your skills with the civilians and training of the apprentices."

With a modest bow of her head Red-Leaf-Strains, "You honor me, First Necromancer Jor."

"Don't have to call me First Necromancer when we're just having a discussion, my friend," he says and the osogo gives a snort of laughter, "But back to why I called you up, Red-Leaf-Strains.

"With Lord Jadyk out of commission for the moment, it falls to the Generals and I to see to ensuring as many of the Ahkams forces surrender peacefully. Already the Deep Rot reports numbers in the thousands of surrendering soldiers. Even a few of the serpents themselves," he says with a voice of calm seriousness.

"I have been keeping an eye on the events myself. There will be many that will need my help accepting the truth of the Wormstar and Lord Jadyk," she says with a near zealot certainty.

"That you will, my friend. But first, I believe we can assist the matter of ensuring the peaceful surrender of our future converts," with a flick of his wrist a holoscreen is displayed for them, showing the image of three vast pods similar to med-pods but containing the preserved forms of slain Ahkam. The screen showed them being unloaded from the hidden passages that ran through-out Iti'a'Ropku into the main Reconstruction chamber of the Necromancers Spire several floors below them.

"I would have you join me in Reconstructing the corpses of these false gods into something befitting of their failures. They will be a sign to all that the Ahkam are nothing more than mortals like those they would enslave and a far cry from the gods they believe themselves to be," Jor says with a conviction that swells up inside him as visions of monstrous serpentine beasts fill his mind.

Red-Leaf-Strains bobs and nods her head eagerly, "Of course, Jor, I can nearly see them now. Shall I gather the eldest of our students?"

"Yes, recall Necromancer Klikli as well. Tell him that Graim won't be going anywhere. Make sure you get the twins as well, they will be invaluable. Tell them they can join Guir after they assist us," Jor says, rattling off preparations for the osogo Necromancer to make until he turns to her.

"Prepare the rituals and summon our students. I shall join you when they have all arrived and we shall commence. Until then, I must play politician," he says with a chuckle, "I will admit, the Armatocere are peculiar but they are easier to deal with than nearly any other faction I have met."

"It is my belief that the Wormstar guided you and Rethak to meet Slrrt that day. The Undead and the Floral, strange partners but effective ones so far," she pauses in thought, her ears flitting briefly then nodding firmly, "I trust them Jor. I believe Lord Jadyk does as well.

"Wormstar guide and protect you, Jor," she says before turning and departing from the chamber, leaving Jor alone standing by the brazier of green flame.

He looks into its depths for several long moments before letting it fade to nothingness and turning to a new holoscreen that showed the images of Sapling Slrrt and the cacti Warleader stationed in Bastion. He smiles jovially, "Ah, sorry for the delay in answering you, it has been a very eventful day."

"We are a patient people, have no worry, Necromancer Jor," came the droning synthetic reply.

Both Sapling and Warleader had similar blocks either hanging or embedded in their flesh that drone out with artificial voices and it takes Jor a moment to determine who it was spoke until the holoscreen subtly highlights the cacti for his convenience. Mentally thanking the Deep Rot Jor gives a bow of his head, "Thank you, Warleader. I hope everything is well on your part in the aftermath of the Ahkams attack."

"Resource expenditure was within acceptable parameters. It was regrettable our weaponry proved less effective than expected against the Matriarch but it provided much data for the Mind-Vines to process," the Warleader states.

"If you mean that weaponized, miniature star, consider the Armada impressed. I've had Think Tanks buzzing in my ear nearly all day asking that I speak to you about trading for it," he says with a wry chuckle.

"Trade of knowledge, particularly military secrets, is forbidden for those of my standing and entails a severe punishment for such a breach," the cacti says matter-of-factly through the monotonous tone.

Jor holds up his hands defensively and begins to reassure the Warleader when Sapling Slrrts synthetic voice cuts in, "I am quite qualified to initiate discussions of trade of intelligence but military secrets of such order require contact with the Parliament. I can initiate the process if that is what you wish, First Necromancer."

"Woah, hold on there," he says motioning for the pair to quiet themselves and Slrrts voice trails off with a pop of static, "I would like to wait for Lord Jadyk to return before initiating anything such as that," he hesitates with a slight grimace as there is a bit of mental static from dozens of Think Tanks calling out at him but he ignore it, "However, I believe it was you that wished to speak with me? What can I do for you, I cannot express how much I and the Armada at large appreciate and respect all the aid the Armatocere Collective has shared with us in our times of crisis."

The petals of Slrrts "face" quiver as his voice drones out, "Yes, we are thankful as well that we were able to provide aid and we wish to provide it further. We witnessed the destruction wrought by their forces and have calculated that the Armada will be taking on at least tens of thousands of prisoners and defectors. Already ships in the Yrre system are assembling shipments of food and medical supplies. They shall arrive in the Bastion system within a Horizon's Drop day," he says, his speed and tone hardly varying in a way that was a slight challenge for the human to follow.

"Your charity is much appreciated, Slrrt. We can pay in trade of metal ores if you wish, Lord Jadyk would be happy to," Jor says.
