Zeta 2 game starting!

[AMF]

Only if someone can dig up the old MOO2 files for me....

but, really, Zeta is not supposed to be a copy of MOO2...it's got it's *own* storyline...at least, it does in my head...even if we never get there...

So, do we get the robot and the annoying music from MOO2 to go with the name change?

Zeta Knights Beginnings (2-3) Stardate 2400.2

The first Scout ship, the powerful "Searcher" rised up on a plume of fire and smoke. It was much faster than the slow colony ship and it was armed with the newest weapon designs, much more powerful than the swords and bows that the police force was using.
It was stunning to see these beam weapons in use, disentigrating objects far away.
The technology had been known for a long time but there hadn't been any need to implement it until now.
But in space bows wouldn't be of much use, so the beam weapons where constructed and fitted to the scout ship.
This ship alone could burn the entire homeplanet to ashes, so the captain was carefully selected, still Knight Templar Ruatha felt some fear deep inside for what he had been involved in letting loose in the universe.
But as always, the Purpose and the Meaning came above all else.

The glow in sky started to fade as the "Searcher" immediatly headed for the nearest wormhole, what would it find on the other side? New territories to colonize? The Purpose? The Meaning? Aliens?
Soon the answer would come, but the months ahead until the wormhole jump, would be nervebristling anticipation to say the least.

Within the confines of a temple, one equipped with the latest technology, a mass of people occupied a large room. The inhabitants of the room were working at a great pace, trying to make the progress of the launch of the new colony ship suceed. They did, for it began it's journey after loading the precious cargo of civilians.

Grand Master Sabin was also at work on a different project already. He felt in his heart that it was critical to create ships meant for war. He knew that insufficient defense can be the downfall of his people, so he worked through many nights. The design was complete for the Escort MK.I. It featured weaponry that was based upon primarily on beam weapons. However, it also had a Capital Missle Launcher, which gave it extra firepower over anything it encountered.

The rub was, however, that it seemed to lack any defensive power. If it ever got hit by an enemy attack, it's fragile frame would be crushed, even under the weakest of starship weapons.

This would be rectified, but only after some research has been made for economic and scientific matters...

The first scattering of dust settled over the world. As the invisible particles hit the cratered and pitted surface of the planet, they immediately activated. Within hours, the initial building blocks and structures of millions of drones had taken shape. Within a day, the first was activated. In this incarnation, it took the form of a humanoid female, but gray, metallic, and exuding a *purpose* no human could fathom. The drone opened it's "eyes" and looked out upon the Throne World, and saw the Structure in the distance. And, directly above, there lay the other Five and, in all it's glory, the Nexus. If the Drone could think of *itself* and if time had meaning to it, it would marvel at the fact that, after all these Millennia, the Plan was finally set in motion...

Stardate 2400.1

The automated door opened of the prefab colony module, and first council adviser Yeeliaa entered the room.

Mother I've got the daily report for you, It wasn't really her biological mother but THE MOTHER, High Priestess of the council of Nine.

How many deaths today she asked softly.
Since their landing on this planet, people died every day in shuttle accidents because of the hard winds in the upper atmosphere, with an average of 240 kph and an top speed of 360 kphs.
So sad enough the death account was starting to get ussual bussines everyday

128 was the direct answer of Yeeliaa, factual and punctual as always.
21 children, 58 women of which 17 pregnant the rest men.

Thanks, please go away now, I'll see you in an hour at the briefing, was the only thing the Priestess could say and she went for a look out of the window, up in the deadly atmosphere.
And she shivered, and itwasn't of cold.

Darned.
The first system I enter has alien presence.
Statisticly this means there are over 200 players in this game!!!
I have a frigate with armour, point defence and level 3 weapons, he seems to have nothing!
Should I glass him or not?
Direct contact isn't allowed, can't talk by mail.

I'll write up a story later and decide what to do, but I'm a bit disappointed at the proximity of players!

Stardate 2400.4

4 months now, the live on this planet for 4 months Xerieel, the High Priestess thought.
She was looking down on the planet from the 'New Hope'. This shipyard was orbitting the planet for 2 years now, it was transported and constructed earlier prior to their arrivel, but only in service for 4 months now.
As soon as they arrived they started the production of another, but smaller, Colony ship.

Xerieel looked to her right and she could still see the 'Rebirth' accelerate into space. It was heading to the second planet of this system, which was also an gas planet with an oxygen atmosphere.

She turned around to go back to her shuttle and Home, because despite of all the deaths the Last few months. The planet below was home now, their Last Hope and home...........
