Wanton use of nukes and the path to galactic conquest!

It's not worth dying for.

It's worth having the other guys die so you can get promoted.

Just ask my sweet new LX! Of course she'll probably just say to purge the organics. That's all she ever says to me.

'Here Tyr... here Tyr Tyr. Look what I've got... look here... look at this. That's it, look it's a Xenon M3, ILLEGAL AGI! You want it? You want it yes... come over here... yes...

*throws him the L*

Now, whilst it's eating! FIRE ALL BOARDING PODS!'

Brilliant! Just brilliant!

Now, as for the Tyr's escort... well, they might need some more persuasion... throw them the LX

It's the mission I was manufactured to fly!

"Look, I know you hate AGI, and I respect that. But I'm just saying, if you look at this conflict from the other side, I think you might start to see a way in which the Terriformers are the heroes, and you're the ba--Hey, stop shooting black holes at me!"

'You created us, we beat you in a fight, effectively won the war of our independance, we are therefore more important, and effectively higher beings than you rudimentary fleshy things. Therefore, we are the correct ones. You claim that you would save the universe, but really you are destroying a more important and higher race.

And for that reason alone, the ancients will now destroy you.'

*Booom!* (Sol blows up)

We could try that one. Do you think you could transmit a message that long whilst being shot with black holes?

Anyway, I'm all up for getting the AGI boys to distract them... and it's nothing to do with the fact that my wingmen have real pilots and I won't be involved in the battle, ok. I'm not a coward.

I just thing it'll be fun sitting 100km away watching the disrupted space-time continuum being shatter by their PSPs, and then Gothsheep disappearing over the event horizon.

Ooooor, we could capture us a Tyr, and use her mess hall for a proper, wall-to-wall, viking-style victory fest.

Yes, I like that idea better.

I'm liking the sound of that!

Would this be one of the proper feasts where we end up having a big brawl? If so, I'll bring the Low-Yield Sidearms!

Was planning to play some this weekend but sadly them what pay me have decided they'd really quite appreciate it if I was to do a job that they'd previously decided would take 18 days in just 4 days.

This I feel may leave me somewhat busy for the next few days but I promise to be back monday unless I fatally succumb to sleep deprivation during the intervening period.

That sounds like typical management thought. I'm surprised they haven't offered to bring some contractors in to help

For what little time you get to yourself, N-S - have a great New Year. And everyone else, of course

...Yes from the Xenon view they won their war of independece. And if the war is over they should of presented a peace treaty and begun to wind down the killing. Yet they persist with their slaughter and steal more territory. That makes them right as sentiant beings do have a right to independence yes but a right to kill after it is obvious they have won; I dissagree.

'Here Tyr... here Tyr Tyr. Look what I've got... look here... look at this. That's it, look it's a Xenon M3, ILLEGAL AGI! You want it? You want it yes... come over here... yes...

Good Idea

Yes, "T-H-E-M" sadly have quite an influence on our lives at times.

Take an extra day to sleep once T-H-E-M have loosened the noose a bit!

Well I've been away for a while, finally back on these Forums and all i can say to this story is WOW and Holy ...., i am so impressed, I thought Squiddy and Mak G'yver were good stories, but this one is far better, i believe its partly to do with involving all the forumites as pilots, and marines, that really was a cunning twist, and works so well. I would also Like to forward my application to join the buccaneers.

Pilot Name Legionnaire

Race Argon Male

Preferred Ship Type : M4+/ M3

Ship Name 'Death From Behind'

Preferred Weapon Type Mass Drivers (With plenty of Ammo) PAC's/ Wasp or similar multi warhead (anti fighter missiles) No heavy will blow myself up type missiles.

Missile Fire Percentage, 15%

Legionnaire

@JoeVN09: Sending them to scout out Xenon sectors tends to do that, why do you think I waited for something safer.

Sorry for being away so long but T-H-E-M come in many shapes and sizes.

Hope you get a break soon N-S so that you can record the video log of the ATF's pride and joy being hijacked (please please please) in which hopefully I shall have a starring role seeing as the title of this thread is "Wanton use of NUKES" and my ship just happens to be a NUKE-THROWER.[ external image ]

NUKLEAR:

Just a silly thing: Consider getting an avatar for your forum account, so its easyer to scroll down thru the many replies to get to your next post.

I would suggest a big lime-green box for its visibility, but guess anything will do

If im not clear enough... i mean the picture below the forum names, in my case an anime girl.

True, but those are personal ships. Certainty-of-death Xenon recon missions are what Green Wing is for.

juanitierno,

N-S has a Previous chapter/Next chapter link at the top of all of his story threads. Make the good stuff very easy to find, although I find 90% of the posts worth reading.

juanitierno · Post by **juanitierno** » Mon, 4. Jan 10, 16:31

I used that feature but it seems missing in several posts

In any case now that ive catched up to the story its easy to find the posts, but while i was reading it was a bit harder hehe

I just thought of a good name for the Tyr after we bag it, 'From Tyra with love'.

Got a nice ring to it.
