"Elmangochlakht"
"Verify"
"I have walked the sands of Paranid Prime and gazed upon the scorched skies, i leave into a sea of darknes guided by the light of Pontifex Maximus illuminated until i return to where i began"
"Confirmed, Hail Priest Emporor Xaar"

"Bah" I Cursed
"Xaar...Emporor...Light...Three...And...Heresy"I muttered
"They all seem...so... meaningles....Pointles superstition. "

My monologue was cut short by a subtle 'Ping'.
Alerted I raised from the cold metal chair to hear it again.
Followed by a faint voice beheind the door.

"Priest Duke Elmangochlakht" The voice muffled
"Bah Just the door" I Groaned
"Priest Duke Elmangochlakht" The voice repeated
"What!?" I Shouted!
"Captain Nalshackht requests you on the bridge" The voice said with shaken confidence.

Throwing open the door with my hands I shunted the young crewman out of my way, I grunted continuing to stride down the regal coridoor i approached the doors to the bridge.
Before i could arrive i was greeted by Captain Nalshackht he fumbled towards me regretting the news he was to deliver.

"Priest Duke Elmangochlakht"
"Spare me your pathetic pleasantries, WHY! have you disturbed me?! " I Exclaimed
"Priest Duke... We.."He Stuttered
"We have lost contact with Dukes Glory"
"What Argon Prime?, that sector is in the heart of our territory." I uttered curiosly
"Yes sir, that is why..."
"Enough!" Forcing my way past him i approached the bridge.

I entered the bridge the crew turned silent and the 'Lower Duke' turned to me nervously. Ignoring his grovelling greeting i continued my approach to Centeral Command, taking my seat in the heart of the ship i glanced at the navigator

Ready the jumpdrive I Asserted and turned my head to the Captain who was making his way towards me
"Alert the Crew!" Again turning my head i faced the gunnery chief.
"Ready Weapons!"
"Jumpdrive is ready sir!"Stated the Navigator.
"Set a course for Duke's Glory""

The Jumppdrive purred as the Ship Computer stated the countdown. An erratic fizzing occured, the sound was all around us, the fizz rose into a scream, a sound it was like the wail of a thousand dying spaceflies. The lower Duke collapsed onto the floor he screamed in pain and confessed his sins to the Xaar as though he had been tortured for a week, the captain after him sunk to his knees letting out a roar of strength as though he had been boiling his rage for a thousand years waiting to let it out.

"100%... Jumping..." Stated a drowned system.

I was thrown from my chair by the bizzare force of the jump, i was knocked unconsious, an unpleasent experience i haad previously managed to advoid.

While i lay on the deck i could hear in my dream the sounds of my crewmates crying out hollow confessions to tempt the pain to stop. It was while was like this that i had timme to reflect my actions...

"Prologue" Part 2

Priest Duke's Log;
Holy Stardate: 752 (Exact Date Unknown)
ITC "Sanctum Of Heretics"
___

It was the holy stardate 742, the argon had just reunited with their brothers the terrans. I cant tell them apart all i wish to know is that double the numbers means double the threat.

My company the 'Independant Trade Union' was at its height our super complex had been finished and we were fully self sustained we no longer had to snivel to the Empire or pester Argon. I reveled in my power.

We were now ready to declare a formal wa..

Screams filled my thoughts..And a sharp pain arose on my skull plate i thought i had broken the 4th joint of my Left arm, Confused, shaken and extremely angry I awoke to the sound of panic,screams,and the apothacary who had been desperately trying to wake me up.

"What in Xaars name just happened?!" I Hissed trying to get on my feet
"Priest Duke?! thank the light tha..." Exclaimed the apothacary
"spare me your superstition! Report!"
"Forgive me Priest Duke I..."
"Oh! Get out of my way!" I demanded Bludgeoning the apothacary over as i regained my feet.

What i saw then can only be described as fear incarnate, a great tide of crystaline ships with a purple glow.

"No! it Can't Be" i cried falling into my chair and sinking in sorrow

The K'haak Horde was upon us, we should have saw it coming, we should have prepared, we should have..
Again my chain of thought was broken but by something more significant than a faint 'Ping'.

"Priest Duke 3 Destroyers are on an intercept course"
"Then take us in!, Ready the Gauss cannons!, Charge the Photon Pulse Cannons, Load the flak cannons!, And mayy the light guide us to Victory!."
"But Priest Duke they outnum.."
Enough! where is captain Nalshackht I need someone with too little a spine to argue!
"The captain is dead killed himself, as did the lower duke during the jump charge that Unholy sound drove them both insane." Shouted the gunnery Chief Desperately trying to raise the weapon systems.

I can hardly say i was saddened, i considered them both a waste of paranid skin, grovelling and snivvelling is not the way of the paranid.

"Priest Duke they are upon us!" Screamed the navigator panicking through the tactical display map.

"Hold fire!" I Said calmly
"WHAT!? Exclaimed the gunnery chief"
"I said hold fire!, You will obey orders!"
"Ye..Yes Priest duke" Uttered the gunnery chief

Damn.. He almost showed a backbone, there is still ti...

The ship was struck by one of the beam weapons from the lead Destroyer, i had never encountered a K'haak capitol ship i had no idea of their capabiiliities they move faster, they strike harder, and they are so small to hit. but honestly my thoughts were ' i must have i one of these ships'

Priest Duke!! i request permission to fire! Pleaded the Gunnery chief
Gah, Fire!!! I exclaiimed confusedly

The hull lit up spewing our hate Upon our foes. i could see we were no match but blinded by my arrogance iroared at the crew to keep firing. Our improved gaus cannons could hit harder than their Kyon beams but took a while to hit at close rtange, and the Photon cannons were starting to loose power when...

"Hail Heretics and take heed this is the carrier Pontifex Ultaris""
"What? get a lock on tha...."

Before i could finish the skies of Argon Prime lit up with the holy ships of Pontifex Maximus Paranidia jumping into the sector

"The smooth lines belie the steel beeneath"
"You too...Brother"

The gunnery chief was alienated by the scene unfolding before him gazed at me with a expression bordering respect and extreme terror.

"Ready to jump" Exclaimed a voice i cared not to put a face to

Loking into the eyes of my brother down the screen i muttered

"Excecute"

And without haste we entered light speed, Crippled with fear i fell back into my chair my body shaking and my pride shattered i drifted into the depths of silence

Okay this is the end of the prologue the rest will be my actual gameplay throughout (though that is a story of previous gameplay it is not recent)

Feel free to join in in futue

and feedback is greatly appreciated

[lordmuck]

MORE!!!!

Ease up on the blue though (not that you used a lot)... oh my eyes ..MY EYES!!! rofl, Ill try get this post moved /deleted so your story will not be separated by this comment once you continue

[Captain CAVEMAN!!!]

Thank you very much

i dont want it remooved good comments inspire me to keep going

but this is end of the fiction so i am working on the DiD bit now so it will take longer to write

Also wil change the blue to a more eye friendly colour (looked better in the preview box)

[lordmuck]

ye it was just the dark blue that was EYEritating rofl (fine bad joke), also up some vids perhaps put some "subtitled" conversations with the characters in the story (aint seen that done yet ..unless I skipped it), pics also.

I say this because you can describe a picture with 100% detail to a person but he will imagine it differently and as this is based on something existing unlike some story book about a group of people who cant be seen and so on yet we area all viewing the X-verse, if you know what I mean ( I suck at explaining).

so you can write about the action or particular moments while also showing them too pic/vid...

[Captain CAVEMAN!!!]

Bear in mind that that is just the prologue not actual gamerplay yet i am writing the actual beginning up now and dont worry there will be plenty of screenshots

"The Beginning of the end"

Priest Duke's Log;
Holy Stardate: 752 (Exact Date Unknown)

But a husk of what it once was the 'Sanctum Of Heretics' Emerged from the Avares West Gate. Holes blown clean through the hull and corpses littering the hallways. the ship entered visual range of the HQ, it was like an oasis in the arid deserts of Paranid Prime.

"Status Report!" I Demanded down the intercom
"Heavy Casualties 15 missing 32 injured 76 Claimed by the void." Reported the head Apothacary

Slumping back into my chair i lowered my head in shame. Sounding wounded the communications officer called.

"Priest Duke headquaters hails us!"
"Patch it through" I Commanded a slight ange building in my tone
"Priest Du.."
"I Demand to know, Where are the fleets why did none respond!?I interupted
"But Priest duke you never requested a fleet"
Wha...
He is right sir.. you never requested anything Stated The Navigator
I..I..I must restI declared completely enstranged.

I rose from my chair in deep thought, why did i not request help why did i go alone, am i going mad, what was that sound before the jump,

"AAARGH I NEED ANSWERS" I screamed without warning.

The crew on the bridge stopped and stared as i continued to march to my cabin, the Acting captain Yugrolahhn issued orders. as i began to wander into a deep chain of thought.

"Get a Hercules here NOW!, Maintenence teams to the Reactor!, All appothacary's report to Engineering, and someone shut up that damn Siren!" Commanded the Acting captain with fire in his voice.

I can respect Yugrolahhn he has a backbone he is worthy oof his third eye, he will go far.
Nearingmy cabin i attempted to open the door.

"Access Restricted hull breach detected!" Declared the fading ship computer.
"Damnation!" I Roared, pounding the door with my claws.

Slumping down outside my cabin i fell to the floor, The doctors say that I Fainted from the lowering oxygen levels aboard the ship. They were just too scared to say to me that i passed out from the stress i was under.

While i lay unconsious on the corpse littered hall I had time to reflect.

Holy stardate 742 we had just stated a Formal declaration of war upon the OTAS Consortium. We were short sighted enough to believe that the argon would just allow us to wage our own little war against the unclean biengs that were our only competition.

Otas fortified Legends home And the Argon had uped the sector patrols. My glorious flagship 'Sanctum Of Heretics' and its sister ship the 'Epitaph Of Delusion' had just been finished representing the ultimate inParanid Capability.
We had singed a contract with the Empire to construct advanced ships and to introduce the Hyperion And Aggamemnon into mass production. The Mighty Xaar Pontifex Maximus had jus....

I was awoken by a calm apothacary in a medical chamber aboard the Headquaters. I stared loked up at the apothacary not entirely shure where i was and turned my head to see the 1st Fleet assembled outside the station and an engineer reverse engineering a captured argon craft.

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5899 ... n00008.png

"Bah..." I mumbled my pride shaken and body numb
"Ahh Priest Duke you are awake.."
"Spare the pleasentries apothacary i care little for your manners."

The doors open at the far side of the room and in walked the Content acting Captain Yugrolahhn.

"The sanctum of heretics is saveable but it sustained heavy damage at the hands of the K'haak and many souls were lost to the Void" Spoke the Captain with confidence proceeding into the room with confidence and helping himself to a seat.
"Entering without adressing your priest duke is a punishable offence on any empire station, I like you Yugrolahhn, when the repairs are finished you may take the role of captain aboard the Sanctum"

The acting captain Bowed his head in respect and the apothacary stood silent unshure as what to say, Yugrolahhn turned to exit the room but paused, He turned to me and said.

"Sir if those were the Holy ships of the Holy Pontifex Himself, Did you call the Xaar ... Brother"He questioned Cautiously
"A topic for another time but you will know, in the meantime prepare the 1st fleet and regroup the 4th and 5th. tonight we prepare for war with the Xaar" I declared

He gave a swift nod and marched out of the room. I rose limply from the rigid bed the apothacary attempted to reasen with me to stay but i would hear none of it. i proceeded to my personal transport in Hanger 004.

After a mizura my schuttle came into visual range of the "Epitaph Of Delusion"
http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/1492/x3screen00009.png
And what a grand ship it is. But before I had chance to marvel at it, the ship computer began to verbalise.

"We are bieng Hailed" Stated thee ship computer
"Patch it through"
"Fighter you are out of your juristiction here turn back or you will be fired upon" Threatened The captain
"This is Priest Duke Elmangochlakht, You will open the hanger bay and prepare for my arrival" I Commanded
"Apoligies Priest Duke hanger 4 is opening, Captain Duurghalcht, out"

I activated the auto pilot to take me in to land and my Pegasus made a sharp left maneuver almost throwing me into the ship, The Fighter slithered under the underbelly of the Carrier and began to enter the hanger.
http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/2449/x3screen00010.png

My ship locked onto the docking clamps and i left as it was fed through a system of conveyors and into the main fighter storage, Entering the main corridoor on the top deck i marched towards the bridge, as i entered all rose and the Captain left his seat and offered it to me.

"Do not waste your respect we have little time for it, The K'haak are upon us and the Xaar Pontifex Maximus Paranidia and his Holy fleet are hunting us down, it is time we took action not snivel like the hatchlings most of you still believe yourself still too be."

To most of them the K'haak were a ghost story , noone knew what to do and the bridge fell silent.

"Bring us into formation with the rest of the fleet and Enshure the fighters are ready for combat.
"Yes, Priest Duke, Navigator!, Set a vector for the main battle group and relay orders to the flight Chief to ready the Fighters." The Captain demanded
"Yes Captain!" Said a young voice.

The ship left its vector and approached the fleet positioned in the sector.
http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/5531 ... n00011.png

The ships communication Console lit up and the Communications officers scrambled trying too enterprit them, each one looked horrified at what they saw.

"What are the messages saying I demand too know!"
"Sir the sector formerly Kingdoms End Has come under siege by the K'haak! the ships stationed there ire giving resistance but they do not stand a chance not even with the Holy light guiding them!"
"Then we have our Destination get that hercules here! we need to fuell these ships!"
"Epitaph Of Delusion to base, alert all ships that they are to dispatch to Xaars Citadel imediatley!"

After around 90 Mizuras the fleet was ready and the ships fired their jumpdrives, The light giiven from a fleet of ships jumping at once inspires the fire in a Paranid's soul, and guides him too do great things.

The ship began to countdown to jump and the young officers abooard the ship could not mask their fear of going against the K'haak Hive. I felt the Subtle vertigo of the ship being pulled into a wormhole and the ship was soon approaching The Kingdoms end sector.

As the ship entered the sector we saw the charred stations and derelict Boron ships floating in orbit, None of this the Kha'ak's doing, but ours after the booron entered the Argon Campaign we had no choice but to...

The ship was jolted violently a Kha'ak Destroyer appeared in front of us blazing its Kyon Emiters at the carrier. We could see the rest of our fleet tied in Heated battle and the destroyer was already damaged.
http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/1079 ... n00016.png

"Fire the Gaus Cannons!" I roared
"We dont have Gaus cannons this is not the sanctum! Reasoned the Captain
Then fire everything! I Demanded

The Destroyer broke right and attempted to advoid the fire, After but a few barragees the Destroer purple glow faded and it began to crumble as it burned falling into the clouds of the planet below.

"Status report?" Cried the captain
"All systems are gr.."

The ship was struck in the engines and blown of of its original vector, we were face to face with another menacing Destroyer. "The Epitaph Of Delusion" was no match for This Kha'ak. Before we could Relay firing orders the Destroyer was struck by a barrage of torpedo's

"Hades squadren Veil Of Light, We will Keep these Creatures aat bay!. Called A Zealous Pilot Down the Comm Line

The ship began to turn as the Kha'ak Destroyer Errupted into a purple flame, we proceeded deeper into the battle regrouping with the main battle force. As we got closer the sound of weapons fire became almost deafening the battle was heating up and the Kha'ak had launced another wave of Destroyers and Corvettes.

A Destroyer Tore its way out of slipspase from next to us and tore a hole straight througnh our hull.

"Hull has been Breached engines are, hol...." said the desperate Head engineer from the engine room.
"We have lost contact with the engine room!"Exclaimed a young comms operaor.
"Reactor Breach Imminent!"Cried the technical operator.
"The Destroyer is coming around for another attack! Brace For Impa..."

The Destroyer Hit us again its Kyon emitters tearing the lower Section of the ship in twain.

General Quaters All Priests abandon ship! Cried the Captain Down the intercom
Wha..? I will lot abandon this ship to the ene..
"Then you will die you fool!" The captain screamed at me.

I followed the captain down the Main Corridoor the ship was Disintegrating around me, the corridoors were crumbling and the escape pods were ahead.

When we arrived i immidiatley entered the Commanding Officers Pod, i expected the captain to follow me, Instead he helped the injured and wounded into the Medical pod.

"Get in the pod you fool the ship willl explode any second!" I tried to reason with the captain
#
He simply looked at me and gave a chuckle He hit the launch on my pods console and sent me flying into the void.
As i looked through the Porthole on the Pod i saw the Carrier crack and split the reactor emploded with the light of a thousand suns There was nothing more i could do but wait.
