we already sent probes to gas giants, however they were destroyed, presumably by the pressure, before they could return any useful information.

also based on analysis of flight data recorders from our destroyed ships, we think that the crystal has no shields, it is just so tough a material that the weapons fire have no effect.
we also believe that the energy absorbed is somehow channeled straight into their weapon systems.

Such a trade can be accepted.
There wasn't much left of the crystal - most of it simply evaporated (quite strangely) but we do have about a dozen small pieces.
We can part with a few if the price is right.

We'll send a ship with the crystal to your borders, with escorts.

OOC: Is that Elunium super-crap really necessary? Ye Gods! Just say it's an advanced alloy with great properties..and not some..whole universe and beyond-in-one. Is it something it CAN'T do? :roll:

Ick..sorry for the outburt but stuff like that really irks me. .. :?

We are curently researching what a antimatter-shock would do to such a crystal.

Scans also indicate some form of non-hyperdrive FLI system.
according to what i know: the ship is made of matter
Anti matter causes an explosion big enough to eliminate earth, and possibly mars and venus.

therfore, antimatter would not be a viable option EXCEPT with unmanned drones.
Anyways, we have found a similar, apparently dormant structure inside two gas giants in the system. all scouting teams in the vessle have not returned. i have whittled it down to 3 possibilites.

a) its alive and they gots digested
b) its artificial and has poison atmosphere
c) its crew is still alive and killed the scouts
if everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.......idiot.

Auriak wrote:Great. Just so you know Eulinium is like Tiberium in that it grows and mutates but it causes no harm on its own. It is blue and transparent, and is easily manipulated by psychic energy. It is capable of absorbing energy which it uses to grow. It will not grow however if it has absorbed negative energy. Eulinium can be forced into a particular form with extreme focus (we use computers), here is a list of some of the more common forms:
Metal: More like a blue crystal in appearance, it displays metal like properties.
Liquid: can be easily pumped through a ship to provide power to systems.
Soft solid: can be carved with tools or with a mind.
Gas: Appears as a swirly blue vortex with little arcs of lightning. Can be pumped directily into machinery to provide power.

Additionally, it grants supernatural abilities to those who absorb it into their spirit-essence and is capable of making limited manipulations of the subatomic particles of nearby materials, but only when a particular harmonic frequency is emitted into it. This is a big help in synthesizing materials.

At the edge of the star system Eren Ka 307 a transport vessel will be waiting.
The NE scientific community would like a small sample of that crystal to sate their curiosity.

we have recently lost all contact with 3 gas mining platforms across our controlled region, and all gas giants in our controlled space have begun showing increased heat emission we have assumed the worst, whatever these things are, their waking up.

If they do exist in most gas giants then we have a real threat. they could hit us anywhere and any time. and with the power of their weapon systems not much would be able to stop it.

perhaps we should attempt negotiations.

why don't you use stellar-object nullifing devices to mess up those gas giants?

If your referring to the gravity cage then I'm afraid they are several orders of magnitude too small to use in such a capacity, black holes are tiny, powerful but tiny.

however we could probably attempt to implode the gas giants into stars using a gravity cage however wish to hold this as a last resort since we need the gas giants vast hydrogen reserves to fuel our stardrives.

Just what do they tech kids these days in school these days?

We will give you one sample. However there is one thing we require in return. One of our mining convoys dissapeared so we could use a shipment of Duranium alloy. The Judgment Day production must be kept on schedule.

We like to forward to you the report from our science team:

"Initial analysis of the debris yielded interesting results. The crystal structure that we thought was responsible for the seeming invulnerability of the aliens show to function exactly as our ship hull armor would do. While extremely tough and resistant, it couldn't stand up to the amount of firepower our ships brought to bear. This discovery lead us to probe further and we discovered one interesting property of the crystal.
It acts as some sort of focus and dissipator, conducting and deviding energy efficiently and effortesly. We have speculated that the crystal itself wasn't responsible for the protective field, but rather was used to focus and give it form more easily.
We managed to indentify one damaged part as the emmiter in question. Due to extensive damage and alien technology involved, work on it progresses slowly, but me and my team have the following theory.

The emitter works like our Aegis shielding, only more efficient.
The strength of the shield is proportional to the size and clarity of the crystal, pumping extra energy into the emitter has only deminishing return as the crystal gets saturated.

This defense can be penetrated by a sudden burst of energy of sufficient power, enough to destroy the underlaying crystal in one shot. Our BFB300 cannon proved that correct, but generating that much power is problematic, as evident in the canons overload.
Shifting the beam to lower frequency and higher amplitude should increase it's effectivnes - hopefully by enough so that an overload won't be necessary to breach the shielding.

another possible method to bring down the shield would be to saturate it and cause it to overload - it would require massive amounts of firepower (at least one task force worth) concetrated into a single section.
The result could either be a complete shield meltdown or a temporary overload that would bring it down for a few seconds."

We would like to have a (large) piece of the crystal armor for 95,000 tons of Titanium-Platinum-Diamond Alloy (Diaplatanium) which makes our ships nearly invulnerable and is also, in measures less than a centimeter thick, is a very efficient conductor. We will send it through Task Force 15. We need to study the crystal and find a way to replicate it, so this Alliance can better defend itself, should the time come, with the odds evened. Our chances of victory will be greater.

Agreed. We're sending a transport to meet your task force.


Note however, that the crystal is only one piece of the puzzle. We are working hard to unlock the secrets of the field emitter but the damage to it is quite extensive.

We are still in the process of indentifying other pieces and their purpose. You will be informed if we find something useful.

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. We beleive it is some sort of nanotech wonder brought about by an extinct race in our own galaxy, and it is a plot device in a story I'm writing.
I'm thinking of dumping the superbeing powers aspect though.

OOC: You should really. That thing is way over the top, having every imaginable property at the same time.. It can do everything but wash dishes! no, wait.. it can do that too.
Just another friendly advice, if you need stuff like this for your plot, you may want to work on your storywriting.
