INGT has reported that a small vessel, slightly larger then the Dagger of Ulric's Raiders, has been seen returning to Estovakian Space earlier today on the same heading as the small, 10 passenger vessel left on two days eariler. The returning ship was odd, not seeming to mount any weaponry, and covered in a mirrored armor. No one knows what this ship is, but the INGT did manage to capture this image:
Ulric Jorgensson was quoted as saying: "This war has forced my hand. I did not want to retrieve what I have, but I have retrieved it none the less. If the Midgardian threat is not neutralized, I shall see to it. Beware Midgardian, your Zero Hour has arrived"
It has been reported that Ulric Jorgensson, Admiral Ken Roest of Estovakia and Empress Elizabeth Brewster the 4th of the IVL have conveened a meeting. This image was captured by a INGT reporter moments before Raider personnel removed him:
It has been noted that a Mjolnir II impeded the approach of Admiral Ken Roest in his Dominion, this Vid-Scan shows the result:
Today Ananke's Emperor made a public statement:I can tolerate someone fighting for their religous beleifs, but pirating for the fun of it???
Ananke can not tolerate this.
"But sir, we have to tolerate it for now! All our weapon systems have been destroyed."
"That is why we are importing weapons as fast as we can to refit our ships."
"This is it men, prepare for it! Operation buzzard in full swing!" the captain said as the forces slowly lurched to their positions. The radio signal went out quickly:
IVL territory: do not fear us. We are simply crossing your border to set up forward defensive stations beyond your territory, and we are carring no weapons of any importance" Fell free to vapourize us if any of our ships fire a single round within your border"
Just at that, the fleet waited for any response...
It never came.
What is this!? Sir, the IVL scans have came back... They're decimated out their captain!They do not seem to exist!
The following waterfall of information that arrived from the scanners was a very disturbing amount of information.
OOC: Minor correction, but there's lots of movement in IVL territory. An entire taskforce, made up mostly of Exethalion's ships... unless they left when I wasn't paying attention.

Well, that means we must advance.
IVL flagship "Velvet Hammer" warps in just at the moment and targets the Lead ship.

What is your business here on this space? Speak or prepare to be turned to dust.
We must tell you important news! they, the beings have broken the first line of defense within our borders! they, they're unstoppable! we are literally being eaten from the inside! please, we request some type of help!

Help my remaining fleet cannot offer. As you can see even by the shape of the hull of my very own flagship, my entire fleet could use a good month of refit. Well the two remaining battlegroups anyway. My people and the other half of my fleet are long gone away from here. Safe from this war.
If you truly are in a state of extinction as you say, then I could persuade the Estovakians to harbor you.
We are currently moving every last bit of reasources we have out of the empire, and trust us, It is enough to refit those ships in no time. We will ot last long though, and the last line of defence will be attacked shortly.
We reinforced our borders not to keep people out, but to keep THEM in.

*Elizabeth winces as a chunk of super structure falls from the roof of the bridge and sparks go flying*
Enough to refit us in enough time thou say? Do you have shipyards coming that could fit my ships? We could fix ourselves right here on the spot and slowdown whatever is coming your way.
*Looks over to her 2nd in command, 1st Admiral Daniel Mackenzie*
And frankly, we are not dead yet, we could use a fight to keep our teeth sharp.
Zeron wrote:Please, do come! we still have life at hells gates, and you do know of our shipyards, where one of your grand beasts stayed for quite some time!
I recall those shipyards, very well. Give me 10 hours to gather the Alpha battlegroup here and we shall depart.
How much time till the aliens make contact with Hells Gates?
At least 100 hours untill contact. Hells gates will hold for another 30 though.
But let me tell you of what we are fighting. Operation buzzard was being used to pick up the remains of alein and other ships for our own use. Then it got bad. Some type of warphole opened up, and millions of small alien ships poured in, taking control of the program. I happen to be one of the only people to know of this, and I continued to reassure the armada that operation buzzard was fine and "in full swing" But that is not hte case anymore. They took extremly advanced technology, and somehow, created clone of ships o fast that we were overtaken. Let me put this in context: Their main battlegroup has TEN ships based on the aralonian vessel "horatio nelson" and 20 Ragnorak class war clockwerks. Rumour has it, almost any ship to have fallen in this war it slowly advancing through our territory, and we cannot stop them.
OOC NOTE: Zeron, the alien vessels copying RAN Horatio Nelson is absolutely impossible. Only 3 examples exist (Horatio Nelson, Earl Howe, Viscount Hood) and none have fallen to enemy combat.
If you must, rename them to Coercian Al'Maksur-class [Translation from Arabic: 'The Broken'] ships.
