| TINY LORE MOTHERFUCKERS!
| | Moved all the 'lorebits' to Discussion for cleanup, so this page is clear for people to add interesting lorebits that don't cause internal cringebustion. |

| |"Nagasaki, this is Theseus, what's our plan?"
| |
| "Straight run at the planet, dumping missiles all the way. So, the good news is that there was
| |
| nothing at the jump point other than 2 reconsats, which we obviously burned. The bad news is
| |
| that one of those ships is a battlewagon."
| |
| "Shit."
| |
| "Exactly. We shoulda expected it, being as this is a pretty big SoM colony, but Intel hoped
| |
| all of them were committed to the front."
| |
| "So, one... what, heavy cruiser? Battleship? and a converted merchie? At least that gives us
| |
| their strategy."
| |
| "Use the warship as the shield for the merchantmen while trying to flush it's tubes at us, before
| |
| we get into range and slag it. Think it has a beam engine, or just tubes?"
| |
| "Dunno. Most don't have lasers, but we're WAY out of effective energy range. Doesn't matter, though,
| |
| once we get any sort of missile hit on it, it's gone."
| |
| "Cool, so the merch... one sec."

| "JESUS, they're dumping missiles!"
| |
| "Yeah. Nothing from the planet yet, just those 2 generating a cloud. They're probably trying
| |
| to empty the merchant, then it'll break off. Thoughts on dodging?" | |
| "Waste of time, they'll just re-target the missiles unless we go WAY off course, and that'll cost
| |
| us more than a day."
| |
| "Agree. So, we just ride in, slash their cloud up with our PD, and nail them with missiles in
| |
| a driveby."
| |
| "Looks best, but I don't like high rvelocity engagements."
| |
| "Shoulda joined the marines, then."
| |
| "~snort~ Aanyway, we're slaved to your control, fire whenever you're ready."

| |
| | |
| "Theseus, you ready?"
| |
| "Yeah, all systems green on our end. Ready for jump."
| |
| "Roger that. Feels good to take the war to the enemy."
| |
| "How bad do you think it'll be? Hesperus is a key world."
| |
| "Shouldn't be that bad, most of their ships are trying to push our core systems."
| |
| "But they're gonna have something."
| |
| "Undoubtedly. Jumping now, wait 30 seconds, then follow us through.

| "And that's both of them. All stations, rig for jump."
| |
| "Weapons here, fire control disconnected, autoloaders disabled, capacitors drained,
| |
| ready for jump."
| |
| "Life support here, manual disconnect sealed and system offline. Cryopods sealed and in manual
| |
| control, ready for jump."
| |
| "Engineering here, reactor shutdown enabled, cyanspace core at 90% and awaiting final commit,
| |
| ready for jump."
| |
| "Propulsion here, main drive offline, pre-startup checklist complete, ready for jump."
| |
| "All stations report ready for jump, sir."
| |
| "Very well. Triggering jump autosequence and main computer shutdown."

| |
| "THANK you. Life support?"
| |
| "Everything's coming up green here, but Blomberg missed his can."
| |
| "Hah. Have him get a mop. Weapons?"
| |
| "Point defenses are enabled, just need engineering to get me more power for them. Everything
| |
| else is green. Looks like the 'saki and Iwo found something to shoot at, though."
| |
| "Awesome. How bad?"
| |
| "Looks like 2 ships and a planetary defense grid. Missiles are away, and they're heading out
| |
| to match us, but both were in low orbit, so we lucked out there."
| |
| "Great. Propulsion?"
| |
| "Main drive's up, and engineering's fully up now as well."
| |
| "Very well, give us a 1g course to match with the Iwo Jima and match helm control to keep
| |
| us in their PD shadow. Weapons, turn over missile control to the Nagasaki once we're in formation."
| |
| "Aye, sir." "You got it!"
