[quote who="Orodum" reply="398" id="2340936"] Quoting eoncommander, reply 390 woohoo! a new part! now for some constructive criticism this is just a personal thing, but i really didnt like the hull points and dps and stats taken directly from the game. i understand it makes it much easier, but you're writing about real frigging combat. your characters can talk like it. the first half of the story was a little annoying, because
[quote who="Orodum" reply="149" id="2340661"]I'm afraid thou hath the phrase wrong. 'Tis "A creature, when backed into a corner, will fight all the harder, for it sees no escape". The last ditch stand, when it drops all pretense and simply does its best to harm that which forces it into said corner. Now, I only wished to know where mine comunication device had ended up, but since thou seems to take such offense at the question, I shall ask another.&n
[quote who="Orodum" reply="396" id="2340693"]"X O" is an acronym for the Executive Officer. when used without the space (as it's supposed to) it forms it's a problem I've worked around by using "exec" instead [/quote] But where did the quote come from?

For Creature be that which the Traders named us when they forced exile upon us. And there can be no recompense for such an insult from those not of the Unity.

[quote who="Orodum" reply="143" id="2340254"]I am one of many names, none of which true. For now, you may call me Tialdari. I have travelled the stars, from the frontlines to the homeworlds. I have witnessed the destruction of fleets, and their creation. The devices I be using were recovered from a Trader fleet destroyed in battle. However, I be unsure as to the ultimate location of the device on thy end. Where art thee? [/quote]</p
[quote who="eoncommander" reply="392" id="2339820"] TOC stands for the Trade Order Council. TEC is the military force that has taken control of the Trade Order to combat the Vasari threat. TOC is like the supreme court. The Trade Order still exists, it's just "ruled" by the TEC. I hope I explained that well. that was exactly what i was talking about. when the TEC took over, i assumed they abolished the TOC. but obviously you had a different take. thanks for explaining.<b
[quote who="Orodum" reply="141" id="2339365"][quote who="C.I." reply="139" id="2339326"] There is no avoidance on my part. If you are as powerful as you believe you are, my mind should be an open book. it already is to any of the Unity, which means you are not of the Unity. Which means you are a Silent One. Which means you have no psionic power. Which means you are dead to us. [/quote] Barzul! Be yea blind as well as ignorant? I speak to yea through a trader device
[quote who="eoncommander" reply="138" id="2339286"]what do you think of the new high coalescence - haiti, the unity tells me he calls himself - personally? have you met him? in my search i have little time to concentrate on other matters. has there been any new news from trader space?

[quote who="Orodum" reply="137" id="2339182"]Once again, a subtley of speech escapes notice. Thus my distaste for these... trader filth devices that allow communication at range without access to the mind. I said The Coalescence, as in a single individual. The power of many will always overcome the power of one. Which is why our ships are crewed by thousands, rather than by one. Need I burn it onto a pennant? Or need we loose the demons of the min

[quote who="JuleTron" reply="124" id="2337162"] Men? Why should I think of men? They are useful, after a fashion, for the succession of the race and the manning of the more miniscule psionic tasks, but in general, what is their purpose? They are only here to allow us to breed. That reminds me. What do you do to TEC POWs? Is the Unity participating in the search for Earth? [/quote] Trader Prisoners of War? Well, when we collect some, we will search
