New arrivals..

[BIos_Reaper]

Space... A near infinite void, filled to a degree with stars, some of which possessed orbiting bodies of planetary material, with the possibility of sentient life to develop present via a myriad of different methodologies. But life in particular, cannot be defined as something alive, for to the mind of one aware of every molecule within their bodies, all organic life may seem a pointless mutation.

Alas, moving away from this theoretical material, and shifting our attention toward a seemingly barren planet, a planet rich enough in mineral to garner the attention of an interstellar mining corporation, but not vivacious enough to merit the approach of a colonization vessel.. Though, something else, appeared attracted to it.

At precisely 09:00 hours, an enormous spatial-anomaly had been detected, the sensors of the mining platform orbiting the planet had been utterly fried, and moments later the station dropped out of contact completely.

The sole transmission managed before complete comm-blackout and the right-after transmission of an emergency distress call, was a single, highly pixel-laid image of a vessel completely unknown in any part of the galaxy. A long, slender and quite obviously a very powerful vessel as the mining platform had been able to fend off marauders in the past.

Shifting our attention towards the scene, the platform does not appear to be in good-shape, and what lay nearby was an even more terrifying sight. A massive ship, duly noticeable a dreadnought class, no guessing how big it was as it nearly dwarfed the mining platform, lay moored next to it somehow, completely unfazed by the gravitic pull of the planet below.. A mystery.. Will you be the one to solve it?

(My first attempt at an rp, anyone wishing to join may join, but I advice against attacking the ship still.)

Nearlight Technology, or FTL drive tech for the majority of the galaxy?

[Nelle Kozera]

The Timeless Undiscovery a nearlight vessel that had just entered the system when the light of the large vessel had reached it. The X-Ray spectrographic analysis came back more or less inconclusive. The reptilian humanoid on the bridge was the only inhabitant of the massive vessel for the moment. There was a gas giant on the edge of the system, the owner of the vessel planed to use the giant as a means of aerobraking to slow the vessel. He was still traveling at 70% the speed of light and was slowing down but the planet would provide the need friction to slow the vessel to a more acceptable level. The blue gas giant had been in Harper's line of sight for months now, he had intended to use it from the start.

--

From an external perspective a large ship had dipped into the gravity well of the planet on an intercept course. When the vessel contacted the atmosphere there was no visible heating of the hull. It was apperent that the hull in and of it self was a massive heat sink, Something under the skin of the hull was sucking the heat of friction away from the surface of the ship. Even though the ship it self was experiencing any stress from heating there was still a long trial of ionized gas in it's wake as it tore through the planets gaseous atmosphere. The streak of red standing out against the blue background of the hydrogen atmosphere of the world. The arch trailed around half the planets diameter before the ship left the worlds atmosphere the aerobraking had worked as it should have. The ship was moving much slower now but still hypersonic at any rate.

---

"So, what have we hear..." The bridge of the vessel was overly large for one person to be manning the entire vessel's the bridge was tiled with ceramic tiles. The reptile was sitting in on of the many chairs that circled the 3D holodisplay of the system. He was slowing down again he was 500,000 kilometers from the ship and it was closing at 40 kilometers a second. He would be in spiting distance in under 5 hours........

[BIos_Reaper]

(Neither, the technology used by my species is FTL but not standard drive technology, worm-hole generation is the accepted method of travel, so no planetary body is needed for slow-down and because of the nature of the vessel present, most sensors will not be able to penetrate it's outer-hull, though it uses high-efficiency ion particle drives as propulsion, non-heat emitting drives as well as an inertial sphere core, so it moves without being largely detectable.)

The approach of vessels seemed to garner little activity from the ship, moored somehow close to the seemingly disemboweled mining-platform which looked like it had been partially deconstructed at the molecular-level, judging by it's lack of exterior armor. Other than remaining silent, the massive dreadnought did not budge, it did not attempt to communicate, nor did it attempt to engage the incoming vessels, it merely stood still and watched.

"Are they gone.. ?" A figure within the deep bowels of the mysterious ship asked... Though not vocally.. "Bio-molecular scans are inconclusive, the enemy might still be around, though no hull-breaches have been detected. We are alone, for now... " A mysterious voice replied. "Alert.. Unknown vessels approaching, analyzing... "

From the exterior of the vessel this action could be seen as nearing it's front, three completely solidified black spheres extended from the hull, their tops covered in armor so they could slide in and out, and receive protection when not in use, once fully extended a massive sub-space pulse was released, yet to those without the appropriate sensors the pulse would be difficult to detect...

"One vessel has largely resisted scanning, another 0.0 parsecs away has engaged breaking operations, possibility of Nearlight hyperdrive plausible, technology level unknown, suggest defensive measures upon possible hostile engagements and complete destruction of vessel drive-core."

"Confirmed.. If these vessels engage us in anyway, destroy them, we cannot have hostile forces be aware of our existence... VECTOR have it, we will find those creatures, and they will pay with their lives... "

With the conclusion the pulse-sensors retracted back into their armorcrys hide-outs, and the ship once more became silent.

[Nelle Kozera]

The passive sensor array of the Timeless Undiscovery lit up like the fourth of July, “Well, I feel violated….” The Ships persona spoke to the reptile. “…They scanned me with a sub-space scanner.” Harper laughed, anything of importance such as weapon systems or the main drive systems, though that could deduced from any optical observation was shielded from sensors, with the subspace verity in mind as it was the type used by dock officials. “It happens anytime we go into a dry dock, why wouldn’t it happen here?” The picture of the persona nodded, “Engage tackion sweep…” While the Undiscovery would almost always use passive sensors it was capable of real time imaging as well. A second vessel popped up on the holodisplay. “That wasn’t there before….” He said to himself looking at it, “…and I have never seen such a vessel before...”

The persona appeared to the right of the system readout. “That’s because until then it wasn’t, it hard to detect with the passive sensors because it gives off very little in the EM and Subspace spectrums, but once we put a bull’s eye on hull by lighting you the active sensors they became apparent.” Harper nodded, “well at any rate it looks like that ship has hidden or not I can’t tell which…” He said mentioned the ship near the gutted mining post. “Is about a notch above are class level in weaponry though I’m not sure how advanced it is…at any rate park us two light seconds from the ship.” The Timeless Undiscovery came to a halt two light second away, well within effective range of any know weapon, but no energy had been diverted to its weapon systems, and as a result they had not protruded their storage area below the smooth diamond surface of the hull.

[BIos_Reaper]

"Sub-space scanning repelled... Technology level sufficient to resist Fact-Sphere readouts, switching to Deep-Fact sensor mode... Gathering information about molecular construction and electromagnetic fields... Stand-by.. "

From the outside it would appear as if though the same sequence as commenced a mere moment ago would repeat itself, however upon closer inspection one would see the spheres that raised themselves from the nose-cone of the massive ship this time, had a bright green dot at their center.

Like a narrowing eye and the spheres seemed to "Rotate" towards the approaching unknown vessel, whereas a second later a much more subtle yet not less invasive sensor pulse was emitted, this one however would not be perceived by any sensor attuned to sub-space as it was not a sub-space pulse, but a Tachyon-burst.

Developed as a contingency for sub-space pulse resistant shield systems the Tachyon Burst reflected hyper-space particles of the very molecular structure of the metal it impacted, upon reflection those same particles would be gathered up by the Deep-fact sensor spheres and an accurate composition of the metal it had impacted on would be compiled.

By their very nature Tachyon pulses travel along any readily accessible pathway and the sub-space interference module provided an excellent conductor as the pulse tracing it's way through the shield.

The shield system used to guard the unknowns sensitive systems received a hefty degree of analysis only the sensitive systems themselves were not analyzed, but rather the shield system itself as by analyzing the electronic war-fare defenses one could determine the systems of interest by how well they were protected.

"Unknown appears moderate in terms of threat assessment, weapons are unknown but appear to be of mass-driver variety, possibility of advanced electronic war-fare present, should ship present threat the armament of main driver will commence and destruction of ships guidance and propulsion modules will begin and complete... "

Looking through one of the deep-fact census spheres felt like peering with the eyes of a god at an insect below. Since arrival in this unknown galaxy things had not gone according to plan, for one now they had been discovered, but at least it appeared the unknown had no idea, who or what they were... For now.

(Umm, could you explain your text a little better? Because it seems another ship other than mine has appeared o.o? Oh, and if you think this in anyway comes off as being unfair I'll modify the post! Sorry for the delay too <.<)

[Nelle Kozera]

The Tachyon scan had upset the shielding systems in place to a minuet degree but a measureable one at that. But there nature was still reveled to the scan. The shielding system in place was a series of atomic thick slabs of neutron star material laced with sub quantum nanofilaments. The nanofilaments themselves where composed of an ultra heavy isotope of mercury, with an atomic weight in excess of six hundred. The entire construct was cooled to absolute zero and rendered the entire mass a slurry of atoms. A low current was being pumped through each of the layers, but each layer had a different charge the first one, with the outermost layer of the shields being subjected to a mezyon field. The net effect of the shield system was it scatters the scanning wave across multiple universes. Sub-space fields where completely membrane shifted out of the local universe. But it could also be used to portray false signatures as well, which the ones that shielded the weapons systems as well. They gave of the signatures mass drives, rail guns where common on commercial vessels. The 3.5 Km structure that seemed like a large rail gun mount would pass for one useless one was able to detect the inconsistencies in the data patterns but had to be looking for those patterns to find them, whatever the main weapon it was not mass-driver at all, none of the ships weapons where. The only weapon that could be seen was the multi-terawatt razor. (Gamma ray laser) Mounted under the nose of the ship on a gimbaled mount allow 225 degrees of movement.

“Flux detected in the shielding systems, they match what is to be expected to be seen from a Tachyon scan…” Harper nodded, “Are own Tachyon scan is complete, compiling raw data.” The persona spoke….

One vessel has largely resisted scanning, another 0.0 parsecs away has engaged breaking operations

(My post was based on this, i thought it meant there was another ship in the system)

[BIos_Reaper]

The Dreadnought remained silent. It's previous Tachyon and Deep-Pulse scans largely repelled, the on-board AI core intellect decided that attempting to further scan the in-coming vessel without direct access of it's mother frame would be a waste of time and effort.

"The alien ship appears decently progressed, markings are unknown, the ship may belong to an armada, or it may be an independantly owned vessel. Judging from how well it's systems are shielded, it's weapon systems may be capable of harming this shell, recomend accessing it's central main-frame upon close encounters... "

"Yokaro... Recomendation accepted, for now we await and see what transpires, but upon any hostile acts, or upon detecting the enemy initiate PD-mode and annihilate them all, we cannot have them interfere with our mission."

The sensor-spheres withdrew into their armored carapaces, however the ships optics were locked on, watching the ships movements, calculating it's trajectory and anticipating it's arrival at the gutted-out mining platform... ETA...

[Nelle Kozera]

“What do you think Ariel?” Harper asked his ship’s persona. “Well…” She said seemingly thinking over it. “I think we do what we intended to do in the first place, though I think it would more expectable to find out what happened then book It to the next star system.” She said, “Of course it’s up to you in the end what we do…” Harper nodded, “Alright, they seemed quite interested in what is on board this ship, you think there is a possibility of them being able to hack core computer systems?” He asked, “It is possible…and a real threat if it happens…should we take the necessary precautions?” He nodded, “Switch to elector optic connections, cut network ties with the commutation systems and route it through a non-networked hub, activate network cut points ship wide…” These where not the standard precautions in anyway, but Harper had been hacked before and was enough to have him paranoid anytime he came within real time communication range of anything. The Timeless Undiscovery accelerated to ten G’s. Closing the distance fairly quickly between the mining platform, and the unknown vessel. The nearlight vessel positioned it on the opposite of the platform to the vessel, using it as a shield should the vessel become hostile.

“Open a line.” The AI nodded, access the com system through a one way trapdoor firewall, the persona could send it information, but it couldn’t receive information from the com system. “This is the Timeless Undiscovery, you seem to have been here longer than I have, would mind sharing what happened here?” Harper was broadcasting on all, neutrino, RF, Subspace, and EM bands.

[BIos_Reaper]

"Receiving multi-layered communication messages from unknown vessel, format is unknown, one identified, electromagnetic transmissions mixed in with tachyon and pulse signals.. Response?"

"Send a standard greeting, let's see what they want.. - Acknowledged.. "

A burst of coded transmissions emitted from the ship. In a format that would probably be unknown to the unknowns vessel, just because the Dreadnought had sensors relying on tachyon and sub-space pulses, didn't mean it's communication system used those same methods, in-fact it used machine language of all things, but not one easily understood by most machines.

The code appeared to be encrypted, as it constantly changed and was made up of three numbers but each number was consecutively either longer or shorter than the first or middle one, it appeared to be a form of trinary communication, which would probably give the idea of the opposing Dreadnought being fully automated, which given the truth, wasn't far from the truth.

[Nelle Kozera]

Harper frowned, “Numbers, really…?” About a second passed by as he looked as the scrolling numbers before he noticed the pattern. “Ariel is this computer code?” The ship’s persona appeared again near the edge of the holographic map of the system. “It could be a standard greeting, seeing that aside from atoms numbers would be a universal codex for communication…” He nodded listening to this, he had similar thoughts, “But without the proper decrypting code, or syntax logic it could be days before we can translate this…” Harper nodded, using brute force calculations would work, but it was far less efficient the having some point of reference. “Let’s try something not so language based, send them a standard hand shake protocol would you.” Ariel nodded, “I sent it along the same bands that they sent the number pattern.” She said before disappearing, “It’s possible that the ship could be automated….” She mused, “It is possible, but I doubt it…” The large nearlight engines had near ultra violet glow about them as they idled. “While we are here we might as well take a look at what is around, launch half a dozen probes towards that large asteroid field we passed on way into this station, if there are metals worth harvesting we might as well take a look.

From an external view point, one of the smaller hanger doors opened six, nearly identical looking probes each one looking like a giant squid launched from the Undiscovery heading for the systems asteroid belt.

“Harper…” The reptile turned his attention the system which had zoomed out to encompass several light days. “Another vessel is entering the system, from the blue shift I’m getting off of it, it is another nearlight vessel it’s direction would put it from out of the litho system.” Harper sighed, “Do we know who it is…?” Ariel nodded, “Yes, Ferros…” Harper growled, “As soon as he is within a day of this system plot a course for intercept….”

[BIos_Reaper]

"In-coming message, standard hand-shaking protocol pattern, binary reply, insufficient reference points to decrypt our message most probably, our code may be to advanced but from the speed of the reply it appears they understand the basics of advanced computation communication... Actions?"

Within the total brain-projection system it would appear as if one were floating in space, with a 400° degree field-of-vision all around and infinite methods of data acquisition available it was somewhat like being a god, but to a machine mind the concept of "Godhood" did not exist.

"Send them a binary code transmission, steady stream. Request a sample of their language for adaptation so that we may commence visual and verbal communication, I'd rather speed up this first-encounter than to drag it along uneccesarily, but keep our fact-spheres open and our drone squadrons ready, I´d rather not be surprised by the enemy again.. "

A male, same age and similar in looks but covered entirely in numeric codes with others being brighter lit and more solid with bright green eyes(think modified cortana)appeared within the cyber-space of the Dw'Emers bridge control womb.

"As you wish, I will send the message brother, are we expecting a fight? I am picking up the trail of another slower-than-FTL vessel approaching, suggest we affirm weather or not they are related to the unknown vessel." Y2 smiled, Y1 giggled, knowing his response by their constant communication between two related units. "Very well, sending now"

The Undiscovery would receive a steady-stream binary code transmission that would translate to the following "Greetings undetermined vessel, we are the Ohm of the Ayelid galaxy and we have come here for the purpose of peace, exploration and data acquisition.

We hereby request a sample of your native language so that we may commence visual and verbal communication to speed up our process of encounter, we await your reply, but be warned, any act of hostility will be punished sevirely, we do not take kindly to unprovoked assaults.

As a side-matter we have detected the approach of another vessel whose engine signature matches the type of which you make use of, are you affiliated with it in any way?"

With that, communication ended, and a response prompt was requested..

[Nelle Kozera]

“Send them a language sample, along with proper grammar and syntax rules.” Once the data exchange was complete he opened a new line. “This is the Timeless Undiscovery and no the nearlight vessel is not part of my group, but I do know of him. That ship is the Gnostic Sunrise, it belongs to a Sharron Ferrors he holds a grudge against me for a trade disagreement about thirteen years back, and prefers the shot first ask questions later method to politics and trade.” His map of the system showed that Gnostic Sunrise was 4 days away from the Undiscovery’s current location. Though he was too far out to get any meaningful reading aside from speed. “Off of the unpleasantness of Mr.Ferrors, anything you are willing to share about this platform that seems to be oh so masterfully gutted…” Harper asked before muting his end of the mic, “Ariel, have drone reevaluate that asteroid it just passed, it seems to have a very high water ice concentration, if it does we can re-plate the hull.” Most nearlight vessels have 2-5 meters of diamond laced ice on their outer hulls to act as an abrasive coating to protect against micrometeorites and light ship to ship fire. The Diamond laced coating on the Undiscovery was only an inch thick, and hadn’t been augmented in many years, scans would have shown the Sunrise as having 6 meters of the diamond laced ice on its hull. Harper moved back to the mic again, “And let me be the first to welcome you to the Triangulum galaxy.”

[BIos_Reaper]

"Receiving communication protocols, linguistics translated, grammar and syntax rule application analyzed. Language translation completed... Initiating visual and verbal communication procedures... "

On the main screens of the Timeless Undiscovery an image would appear of a strange leopard-like creature in his summer coat.

His facial features were far too perfect to be natural, not a single misshapen edge in his entire facial anatomy but that wasn't all...

His cheeks were seemingly made of metal, white colored metal with blue LED lights adorning it in a specific pattern. His ears too were the same, only not covered, but made entirely of metal with what looked like vent ports built-in.

Same deal went for his shoulders which were covered in robotic looking exo armor-parts seemingly etched into his very flesh. His eyes held an unnatural, electronic bright green glow like a pair of high-input optical sensors.

"Greetings unknown vessel. This is the Dw'Emer, deep-space strategic reconnaissance dreadnought of the Ohm Assembly, VECTOR. This unit is J6-411/A-100 Delta. Acronymic naming; Deltan J. Greetings to you and your kind, biotic. We come in peace... I did not just say that did I? Curses, too many old Dwemer movies... "

With that his ears lowered and he got on an obviously embarrassed look...

[Nelle Kozera]

Harper looked at the seemingly to perfect being for a moment before it clicked, ‘He’s an artificial life form, and from the looks of it alien to boot…’ Normally if there were more than few people on a vessel there would a artificial subspace telepathic network that run across the entire ship, but seeing as he was the only person on this vessel there was little need for one but there was still one in effect because it allowed him to communicated with the sub persona of the ship from anywhere and not just terminals our through secondary speaker systems. ‘You really think so? You know he could be some far removed faction that is obsessed with the ascetics of the body….’ Ariel said he voice coming across in his mind, he liked this mode of communication because it was far faster. ‘Really wouldn’t matter now would it, weather they had been far removed or not, they would still be alien to us, in which it’s safer to call them aliens that it would be to call them one of our own, that would arrogant of so many levels.’

The reptile had seemed to take a moment to think over what the person that had called himself Deltan had said before he began speaking. “Well, weather it is a cliché or not it better to hear that than having someone say that your vessel is about to be impounded, so I’ll take what I can get.” Harper eyes, he had eight of them, two main ones that seemed to be organic and eight smaller ones, these where each black as coal, each was a different type of sensor thermal, X-ray est.

From behind his head extended eight frills each one with lots of surface area which was filled with blood to vent head from the nanomachines that ran across his brain preventing a heat stroke from the increase processing power, a purely optical inspect would never be able to the guess there function. He was covered in scales from head to toe, but one top of these scales ran patterns they seemed to give the hint that circuitry was imbedded into his skin, these promised that there was much more to this organic than meet the eye.

[BIos_Reaper]

"Visual scan completed, life-form appears to be in possession of integrated cybernetic systems, biology indicates coolant frills and zoom-analysis indicates many optical sensor relays... "

The androids eyes seemed to zoom in and out and adjust in brightness and intensity, not a hint of emotion displayed upon his inhumanly perfect features. "What are you, you strange life-form? In all my travels I have yet to encounter a race with technology on a level such as yours, are you part of a species or a stand-alone product of science?"

He carefully worded his sentences to avoid making it sound like he was intentionally insulting anyone or hinting at something he wasn't. (Sorry, not much to say right now)

[Nelle Kozera]

“Well either you don’t get out much, or you’re from quite far away, I’d rather hope for the latter…” Harper said, it was evident that he was sitting in a chair; it seemed too made out of leather like material. “We have only come across one other species period in my species history till now. And they where victim of circumstance, there world didn’t have the correct levels of metal needed for technological civilization.” The reptile said from his sitting position, “So I can see what you’re getting at.”

‘Oh boy this isn’t going to fun at all, with Ferros on the way this could head south quick, best to leave that for later.’ He was speaking the AI of the ship through a telepathic uplink. ‘Do you think it wise to ignore him for now, scans show that he is accelerating, he will here in few hours not days…’ The sub persona’s voice held a little concern in its voice. “Back to your early question…” There was nearly no perceptible delay in his conversion nothing more than a slight pause like someone tiring to collect their thoughts. “No, I’m not a radical off shot created by a science experiment, I’m only a little extreme for my species, but if you’re asking about implants they are common place for anyone in Triangulum.” Harper said.

[Violinist]

Not long ago, EXTREMELY far, far away...

Locked in geosynchronous orbit far above Earth, the Heart of Understanding moved silently around its world of origin. Its design was simple. The ship was a mathematically perfect, seamless sphere large enough to contain a bridge, crew quarters, mess hall, rec room and, of course, the central core. Each component of the ship orbited freely around the central core, which contained the Heart's power source. Currently, the ship was occupied only by its owners: Abel Rewanz, the ship's mage, and Aliph Stone, the ship's Navigator. From his usual perch in the bridge, Aliph could control every inch of the ship. Currently he was using this control to talk to his partner, who was sitting in his usual spot in the core. "Abel, I am incredibly fucking bored right now."

Abel, who knew the sort of things that happened when a bored Navigator was around, responded almost immediately. His voice emanated from the walls. "How would you like to go crash a first contact scenario?"

"Sounds fun," was Aliph's reply. "Punch it, Chewie."

"Stop calling me that."

The ship vanished.

---

The Heart appeared in sight of the two communicating vessels. With the three hundred and sixty degree field of vision he had from the bridge, Aliph quickly stated his summary of the situation. "That is one HUGE mother of a ship." A smooth, black orb in Aliph's hand developed complex patterns of light as he set it to analyzing the situation. The orb was a Compass, a reality-altering omnitool that was currently changing 'Humans cannot see through walls,' to 'Humans can see through walls over extreme distances with perfect detail.' When the change was done, the Compass grew quiescent once more before lighting up with a soft blue glow as Abel linked himself to Aliph through the compass. "You seeing what I'm seeing, Abel?"

"Yeah. We appear to be in a galaxy known to the locals as Triangulum. The damaged structure registers as a mining platform, and the two ships are engaged in communication. There is another approaching ship, but too far off to be anything to worry about."

Aliph smiled as he went over his options. "Reckon we should burst in on their conversation? We have the juice to divert simple data, yes?" The walls transmitted a sight. "With my current proximity to the Heart, and the abnormally strong logic resonance in the Compass, I don't doubt we could crack reality like an egg if we wanted to." To Abel's horror, Aliph seemed to be considering that option. "Nah. Let's hold off on the apocalypse for now. We'll be polite and wait for them to contact us."

"Acknowledged," came Abel's reply. They would play the waiting game for now.

[BIos_Reaper]

(Oh wow, I wouldn't consider messing with reality, an Ohm would consider that an outright aggressive response and commence attacking your vessel.)

"Alert! Abnormal transitory energy fluctuation detected off of starboard bow. Displaying image now. " The Dw'Emer's primary Q-AI stated right before swiveling one Deep-Fact Sphere to face in the direction of the anomaly only to witness the arrival of yet another unknown vessel.

Two more Deep-Fact Spheres swiveled in the direction of the unknown and all simultaneously released a quantum pulse, a wave that would impact the opposing ship and bounce off of it's sub-atomic particles, allowing the feedback to be re-collected by the spheres and for accurate data on the vessels outer-hull composition to be compiled. After wards the Dw'Emers Deep-Fact Spheres retracted back underneath into their armored alcoves as the ship seemingly took up a more aggressive stance...

"Are the engines still not fixed? - No, the damage was greater than I previously thought, we will be here for several hours still, the enemy knows this and they WILL engage us at their earliest convenience."

"Prepare for combat, ascertain the intentions of the mathematical vessel and attempt and alert them, we cannot afford to have two other vessels ripped to shreds alongside ours, if were going down the least we can do is attempt and warn them. - Understood. "
Atop the vessel a massive weapon was unfurling, revealing twin MASSIVE rail-like barrels, rails aligned atop one another with coils aligning the insides, energy cannons or rail-cannons, impossible to tell. There was one MASSIVE such weapon on top of the ship, one on each side and one on the bottom with several others now revealing themselves as they unfurled and extended from each individual turret hidden within the ships armor.

Many tube-like weapons also extended alongside strategic areas of the ship, possible point-defense lasers. However, now that it was extending it's weapons it shimmered, and suddenly the holo-field it had been maintaining earlier fell away to reveal the ship was actually horrifically scarred, ripped armor plating and huge gouging holes and what resembled claw-marks alongside it, and it's engines looked like they'd been chewed to bits... The ship had been through a battle, but obviously not with the platform, sadly, it appeared it had been trying to defend the platform..

"This is the VECTOR Dreadnought Dw'Emer broadcasting on all frequencies. " With this the visual & verbal communication procedure Deltan J. had been continuing in hopes of sending the other ship away in time was cut off in favor of the alert message being broadcast with as much power as possible, in order to plow through whatever communication filters either had set up. "We are assuming battle configuration to avoid another incident, the Tar'Aka are arriving, suggest battle formations if you have any intention of rendering aid, if not then run, run now!!"

[Nelle Kozera]

“Wow, that ship has been through the ringer….” Harper said as he activated a rescan of that vessel. He opened a channel to the larger Ohm vessel. “As much as I would like to run, I have nowhere to go, ariel you heard sparky, full combat mode.” The shielding systems of the Timeless Undiscovery went active. The shielding that had been hiding her weapon systems had gone offline, a three point five km long Antimatter Rail gun when active. Each of the ships weapons system that had been hidden by the hull now protruded from the hull a tiny fraction. Plasma projectors, Gamma Ray razors, the ships drone system had gone to full alert. The drones acted as a first line of defense with a dynamic shielding system, all of the drones can focus their shield power onto a signal point or multiple points if. The drive core of the Undiscovery was also in full view of the Ohm sensors. It was a Zero point energy core, this ship had limitless amount of power at its disposal.

“Calculating possible firing solutions, getting data from dynamic drone network, state one shielding at maximum output. Secondary Inertia suppression shield at maximum, Antimatter rail systems fully charged.” On the hull more rail gun systems appeared, smaller versions of the main gun, each one fired an antimatter round at 77% the speed of light, each projectile the size of a baseball. The main gun fired a round the size of a tanker truck closer to 90% the speed of light but it was a not a pure antimatter round but a 50/50 Matter/antimatter weapon system.
