Tiberian Dawn - Act on Instinct
We lie in wait for the perfect opportunity to strike. The Hyperspace monster continues to be a nuisance. The defenders of Tarandus Prime is called into action once more.
Their relentless is about to be punished.
All defenders are focused in taking down the enemy ships, one by one.
One cruiser down! And the other retreats.
Assault Shuttles technology is proposed. With a little luck, we might capture and scrap the enemy ships for technology.
Ion Drive research initiated. This will facilitate rapid reinforcing of the front line. Cutting most travel time by half.
The next step of power research is to develop Anti-Matter.
This is a good project. We will use Anti-Matter accordingly.
Magistrate Chug reports that the final phase of Fellowship terraforming will complete in one and a half year. The delay is due to the Star Base construction that takes priority during war times.
The signal is given! Strike!
The next generation mentats with an accompanying Skyway fighter is sent through the wormhole to regroup with the Tarandus fleet.
Onward, my fighters!
The Klackons can only muster a missile base to protect their Capital.
It is not enough.
Now, the grinding begins...
Our preliminary assault will focus on taking out one defense platform at a time and retreating before the missiles can hit us.
Additional fighters from Sol Prime is sent periodically to reinforce the frontline.
It seems the Klackons have spent a considerable sum to smuggle resources to rebuild their star base within a month - no matter. Their credits will run dry eventually...
Still, the Fighter Garrison pose a considerable threat, and continues to wipe our waves of our Assault Shuttles. Better the shuttles than our prized Cruisers, I guess...
We will expand our horizons with some recon missions.
The stripping of Klackon defense is bearing fruit. Until...
Uh..milord, we've received a strange signals from the Space Beyond.
What is it?
A small fleet is approaching Kholdan system. Unknown configuration.
Inform the fleet to be ready.
It seems broadening our horizon always yields some ugly race out there in the galaxy. But there's always our faithful allies to count on...
Years of peace and trade have kept relations very warm in this cold, uncaring galaxy. Since the 'liberation' of Ras Colony, our races have been very close.
An Alliance will be...profitable. Of course. With this, the people will believe in our cause. I'll sign it gladly.
Good...hope they both kill each other.
Just a lone fighter? This shouldn't be a problem.
Kholdan Prime finally cracked under pressure. The siege claims a Skyway destroyer, but nothing to be worried about.
Yeah, but can you walk the talk, cripple? Still, they make good trading partners...
While the going is good, I've decided to develop Irra III. Huge and Rich. With proper terraforming, this will be a super factory.
Claim it in the name of the Hivemind.
Sir. You've received a formal invitation to the Galactic Council meeting. Its first.
Hmm. This could be a trap, but ready my shuttle.
Ahh...this should be interesting.
The Gnolams abstained (6 votes) - So many votes! Perhaps they're not as weak as I thought!
The Alkaris abstained (5 votes) - Hmm. Did not expect that...
The Trilarians voted us (4 votes) - My ally will never let me down.
The Mrrshans abstain (3 votes) - Who are they?
The Elerians abstain (3 votes) - Ha!
The Klackons abstain (1 vote) - I'll make sure you won't attend the next Council meeting, insect.
The Silicoids voted for themselves (8 votes) - So, they're the most influential in the galaxy?
Of course, I'll vote for myself.
Hm. Perhaps I should look into diplomatic relations more...if this Silicoid continues to be my rival candidate, I should be able to influence the council easily to my side.
The scouts at Izar system discovers a great prize!
Development of Zortium Armor continues.
Irra III, awaiting Klackon workforce.
Meanwhile, in the Hivemind Weapons R&D...
No, doctor..it's too large. When I look at this design, I want it to be cheap, fast, and available at the quickest notice. They're not the backbone, they simply exist to deliver the butthurt. Perhaps smaller...
I see...how about this?
Hm. Much better. Begin mass productions of these Frigates.
The last Klackon colony defenses claimed another Skyway fighter, and the attacks have to be stopped for now.
The alien fleet approaches.
Scan complete. I'm reading a lot of alien techs. Mentat, get your Ass-Shuttles ready for capture. The Authority will be pleased if we can scrap these techs. Peace through power, brothers!
Acknowledged, Skyway Leader. Commence attack!
Fuck, we're barely denting this guy. This is impossible!
Assault shuttles docked and...oh god.
Capture's impossible! All guns on target. Fire!
We're doing all we can, Mentat. Hold on...
My engine's disabled. I can't jump out!
Almost there brothers! Finish it!
Too late - reactor's going crit-
Shit, we just lost a cruiser!
Finish the job, squad!
Enemy down! Yeah, scratch one alien. Wait, it's going critical it's...
Fuuuuuuuu-
Shit. 3 didn't survive the explosion. Command, Kholdan defense successful. Casualty report: Mentat and Skyway-3.
Ugh. What are these fighters? And where do they come from? And 5 marines repelling 15?!
Sure, let me send upload you the credit authorization...
goatse.jpg ....upload complete.
So be it.
We'll be ready for you. Don't let the Silicoids rape you first before we get there...
How worrying. The Silicoids are far ahead of us.
Ah. They don't need to eat...they would make decent slaves.
Hm. Sure, always happy to help a cripple. These fuel cells will extend our fleet range. Thank you. We also secured both trade and research agreements.
Just to be safe...
