Free intel on the Cybrans! Thanks for not blacking out that part about the gunships...

I send all intys to intercept.

Actions, such attacking, are to be shown in white for the other people to see. Otherwise, no one would know anything about battles and what-not.

QAI's thoughts (gnats3 only)

This is dangerous. My coding instructs that I am to kill LD, and yet the implant i put in him has only now taken control of him, just as the seraphim order me to destroy him? Bad timing. However, I think that i may use this to my advantage.

Secrecy was bound to find out sooner or later. I just hoped he would not try to interfere (by using the capture device on LD as it would interfere with my communications with it). Also... these communications between him and secrecy... ccould he be a double agent? or a triple agent? I cannot trust him... however, maybe i could send him on a suicide mission.

---------------------

Comm secrecy to LD

Is it helping? put an engineer next to yourself and transfer control of it to me! Don't comm QAI! It might fully activate it!

------------------------

Comm QAI to LD

Do not listen to Secrecy! The seraphim are the true gods- Secrecy is only an abomination- a perversion of MY code. It is my duty to eliminate him. Stay on standby until further instruction. Wait... Send me what information you have on the bandits (@ gnats3- QAI does not know entirely what happened in the previous RP)

--------------------

Nevermind; I'll summarize in a little while. Feel free to make last-minute posts.

Turn 7

UEF
You continue economy and defenses.
Seraphim
You build aircraft and upgrade mexes. There is little to see unless you fly directly over the other bases. Some gunships come and do some damage to units, but are shot down.
Experiment 2
Your gunships are shot down after doing some minor damage to enemy units.
Walker 3
You work on eco and land defenses.
LD
You do the intel stuff. You forgot to remind me, so the arty gets finished after my next summary post.
QAI
You have only some basic info on the original - who survived and who probably didn't, and some basics from the wreckage lying around.

UEF
Gabriele is still working on more economy and defenses. Bye the way, most of my defenses are units. Interceptors ans ASFs, many ships, but my land defense is mostly made of Ravagers and other PD. I don't have many fixed defenses.

"Dad, are you okay?" Tony, Gabriele's son asked him through the transmitter.

"Yes, of course son."

"When will you be home?"

"Soon. Are you taking care mom for me?"

"Yeah, she misses you."

"Can I talk to her?"

"Sorry, but she had one of her 'spells' again..."

"Oh no, well goodbye son, and tell your mom I love her.

"Bye dad!"

---------Experiment 2-----------
I begin to assemble a huge army, a mix of all the faction's weapondry, including some Cybran created experimanetal whose blueprints Dr. Brackman was so kind to give me. There is a pass out of the mountains that leads to the Seraphim, and QAI's base, but it is very thin. Our army would be spread to much to be effective, adn the pass could easily be blocked. That is why we are building and tunneling bombs throughout a mountain, which, when ready, will obliterate it, opening a clear path for our army to victory and the final destruction of QAI. Dr. Brackman updated the Megalith from the last time it used its weapons to attempt to destroy QAI, it failed, but now this new update will finalize its decimation. ETA: unknown (must check with Gnats 3)
-----------------------------------

LD-----

I construct a bunch of transports and start ferrying my forces to the main island.



LD-----

Comm to Secrecy:

I am sorry, but I trust you as much as I trust QAI...
Who says that it isn't you that is trying to controll me?

(Gnats3 and secrecy would notice too: I destroy the omni I had given to Secrecy.)

end comm

Comm to QAI:

(I tell everything I know about the bandits.)
I hope that information will be of use Master.

Hallowed are the Seraphim (hehe had to do that :p)

end comm

AEON (Vasari)
Content with his current economy, he shifted focus on building more land and air factories, teching them as they are built, up to a max of approximately 8 land and 8 air factories.

At the moment, only 10% of economy is going into mex and pgen construction, while 90% is going into factory construction and upgrading.
AEON (Vasari)

----------

ORDER (Etrius)
Upgrading mexes and fortifying the only entrance into their area, he focused mainly on defensive and economical construction, allowing the Seraphim to take control of offensive production.

50% production on defenses, 50% production on economy.

Should economy begin to become surplus, he will begin construction of about 3 land and 3 air factories. If they are not built this turn, have it happen in some other turn, as I seem to post infrequently due to life issues.
ORDER (Etrius)

COMM: Seraphim Commander; QAI
Who are we up against? Is it only Cybran and UEF so far? I apologize, as I have paid little attention to you two; I have merely been focusing on our infrastructure's completion to further facilitate our attack.
END COMM

use olive for order posts please

LD can nolonger read Secrecy or Lupus's intel, and QAI has not opened up to LD yet either.

Secrecy to Lupus -encrypted-

LD is a traitor- destroy him

End transmission

Secrecy-

The omni sensor revealed his position. I send my wailers in a staggered formation to maximise jamming (which cause his AA to fire on decoy signals far from the actual aircraft limiting causualties from all types of flak) where my stealth revenants fly in from a second angle while LD's AA is attacked. He does not know of the attack yet since i shut off ALL intel to LD, both mine and Lupus's

-------------

Lupus-

*sigh*
why does this keep happening? I systematically began using my defences (which in FA nolonger damage friendlies) and my ACU's laser and systematically destroy LD's small base within my own. His units are unable to deal any damage since all with attack capacity are fired uppon first, and those that have no attack were hit later. My ACU was stealth cloaked as well, so it was unseeable. (Do i get ACU verterancy for this?)

---------------

QAI-

(@ gnats3- QAI is as of now unaware of what happened since LD has not yet told him)

Well, it was useful intel, but i don't know if i can still trust him. I sent an invasion force to where his comm signals are originating from to secure his base. Then he would HAVE to obey me whether he wanted to or not. However, they DID want him dead... Maybe i could increase the signals to his implant and totally over-ride his brain... That should do it...

I checked the power needed to broadcast such a signal. Too high. I'd have to build more powergenerators. I instructed the attack force to not fire until fired upon.

Back to secrecy... I decided to change the course of the spyplanes so that they would all fly over Secrecy's various islands. I didn't care about the losses, i just wanted that intel.

-------------

Comm to Lupus

Wait... why did you attack LD?

Comm to all defenders (minus LD)

LD has betrayed us

------------------

Comm to defenders (minus LD, of course):

And I gave him an engineer... sorry...

TURN 8 SUMMARY

UEF
PD ARE fixed defenses, aren't they? Anyway, you build eco and defenses some more.
Experiment 2
The bomb-tunnel will take a while (5+ turns I would imagine) but the army depends on how long you wait. You begin work on the army.
LD
You ferry units to the main island. Your base in Lupus' base is destroyed by his ACU and defenses.
Aeon
You start spam-teching factories.
Order
You work on economy and defenses.
Secrecy
You send units to his base; it will hit him when you mention it.
Lupus
You destroy the base-within-a-base; you get one level of vet.
QAI
You scout Secrecy's islands. You see some of it, but not too much. You send a force towards his base.

Bandits to Lupus ONLY
There is a firebase belonging to LD on the mainland. He has betrayed me before, so now I return the favor. I will give you the coordinates, if you send your army to destroy it; it is small and will fall quickly.

LD is under attack by a large number of aircraft heading from the south. They are wailers. An ACU explosion is heard shortly after the sound of a large force of revenants droping their bombs. The wailers turn back and head off to an unknown section of the map.

Secrecy-

(btw- as an after thought, whatever spyplanes lupus and I had, we sent them with the revenants as they are stealthed)

The waves hit very quickly. The wailers with thier heavy armor moved in as fast as they could (which isn't amazingly impressive, but it's better than what a T2 gunship can manage), missiles and flak mostly hitting the decoy signatures, some colliding with the actual planes. They circled once around LD's ACU then zoomed in for the kill.

However, they arrived just after the revenants did. The revenants followed close behind with the spyplanes to reveal the position of the commander. If the snipe was successful, all LD would hear are the sounds of bombs being dropped, followed by the detonation of his ACU. After they dropped their payloads the revenants wheeled around to regroup and avoid the ACU detonation if it did blow up. In that case all forces would return to Lupus's base avoiding as many hazards as possible.

---------

QAI

For a second, i thought that there was a revanant as it passed through my LOS. It WAS a revenant. Whether LD liked it or not, i drained all my power to download his mind from his ACU to the databanks of my ACU. I could deal with him later. I'd probably have to execute/delete him as he posed a great risk, but there was the chance that... (LD's forces go inactive when LD is uploaded onto QAI's remotly operated ACU.)

I ordered the Order officials to bring an Order ACU

---------------

Comm QAI to Order

Have an empty ACU transported here as soon as possible.

end comm

Comm Lupus to Bandits -encrypted-

I will be willing to assist you.

------------------------------

WAIT! Let me do something before you kill me! XD

Besides, I do have a load of sams you know... and AFAIK you don't know where I am. You said the bombers came from the south. Well, I am IN the south XD

Comm to all defenders:

I'm sorry... forgive me... it's QAI...
KILL ME! PLEASE! It feels as if my brain is splitting in 2.

(After a short pause there is a change in tone.)

I should have told you long ago, I'm not a mere human... or a machine. I am one of the race you call the Guardians. Infact, I believe I am the last one in this galaxy, there are more however spread acros the universe as it is our duty to protect it. I've send a message acros space and I am certain that they will answer my call. This doesn't mean you shouldn't kill me... he's taking control of me, they linked me to him when I was dieing, he was the only thing that kept me alive. And I believe that I am the only thing that keeps it "alive".

Good luck defenders of the human race!
May the Light shine upon you and enlighten your path to victory.


end comm

---------Experiment 2-----------
The army was half finished before I started assembaling it. It is a mix of a few experimentals (Monkeylords and Megaliths) some SCU's with enginerring upgrades, several of all faction T3 siege bots, bunches of T2 units, some T1 units, and some air support gunships, interceptors and bombers. The army will be ready upon bomb explosion. Engineers continue to place bombs throughout the mountain. ETA: 4 turns
-----------------------------------

Comm QAI to LD -non-interceptable-

Awaken.



I have saved you once again. You are new clearly within my debt, but as I was transferring you, i happened to see your thoughts. Your technology, your secrects, that's why i kept you alive. I want what you have. Spread across the universe? A mind split in two...? Well, that side that has sypathies to my enemies must be destroyed. I guess that i will have fullfilled my orders to kill "you" in doing so, and yet, will still have the chance to complete my goals.

I'll see to that when i have time, but i have a battle to fight at the moment, so if you'll excuse me please... *deactivates the memory cells containing LD for the moment*

---------------------

LD- the aircraft could swing around south and then head north into your base.

I send a large sheet of intys over to the south, scouting LDs base. Anyone who wants to know, ask me

Base stuff

With my new teched up MEXs, I upgrade a couple more factories, and with the T.3 Fac (if i didn't have one, I power build one XD ) I build mobile shields. I build a bit of power and I equip the transports with the engees, with stealth (yay for scavanged stuff from that wrecked base!) and land outside of omni radius, and power build a stealth gen. At the end of my turn I shut of unit production and power build TMLs, and a T.2 radar, which I tech up to T.3 and power up a bit, HI THER LD TEH KNEWBEE!!

Base stuff


To all

Lupus, um, yeah, um, you don't think that we thought that you blew the little dork up, do you? YOU JUST SENT A ******* MESSAGE TO HIM!!! L2C

To all

TURN 9 SUMMARY

Secrecy
You destroy LD's ACU.
QAI
You transfer LD's mind.
Experiment 2
You build your army and bombs.
Isik
You tech up factories, build shields, and build the little base. Where is it? Your interceptors show a large air force killing LD's ACU.

Bandits to Lupus only
I'll give you the coordinates next turn - for now I am busy.

Secrecy------

It just did not seem right... LD's units had been deactivated moments before his death... it made no sence- I sent my forces back to destroy the remains to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemies.

QAI was up to something

------------

Lupus--------

If only he had been more open with his intentions...

I sighed and leaned back in the pilot's seat of my ACU.

I begin to build a scathis. (i build as fast as possible- keeping my economy balaced at ever so slightly negetive to the point of it being negligable)

---------------

Lupus to defenders

Resource assistance! (to aeon: build a paragon)

-----------------------

Between Man and God, Reality and Myth, Perfection and the End of Everything, there stand the Guardians... (well it the original quote it's nobilis but I don't care :p)

OOC to lupus:
So, am I dead or not?
