"Hey Boss, are we going to do what the idiot wants?"

"Yes Navigator, we are."

"I was afraid you were going to get stuffy about duty, honor, and nobility. You're going to make us call you Captain for the rest of day."

"Yes Navigator, I am."

"In that case Captain, may I play an audio of an old Terran poem I discovered in the data archives?"

"Poetry Navigator?"

"Poetry Captain. Don't worry it's all about duty, honor, and war."

"Play away Navigator. I trust your judgement so put it over the intercom."


"Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward..."

Noted.

IH, Morgy, Tapper are up.

[Imperial Historian]

Gnaw, what are you planning? I have 4 moves to play with, I can build shellworld and hold for some points and keep twelves genie in his bottle, or I can throw some of my ships at Morgoth/D'rek, I'm unlikely to kill many of there ships though, unless they are being attacked on other worlds, so I guess it somewhat depends on what you, tatts, khell and tapper are doing, khell and tapper look like they are in the best position to hit D'rek, so that leaves us with Morgoth.

The best way for us to grab third is probably to attack khell/tapper/grab easy points, but thats a little boring, so I'm up for a strike on the big cheeses.

Twelve I'm thinking of letting you out of your bottle, are you going to be attacking us or would you throw in against one of the big cheeses. I think you already know how futile attacking me is going to be.

Tatts, have you thought about moving your dread to castor (101), and influencing 281. You are then in a position to move and hit d'rek or morgoth depending on what we decide (and you have loads of moves).

Anyway Gnaw I think my main role for this turn is either grabbing easy points, or supporting you in an attack vs Morgoth or D'rek (or Khell and Tapper), so tell me what you want to do, I can start using my materials and moves now (by either grabbing shellworld and/or building some ships) or I can stall and research gauss shields for 1 easy VP.

I know you won't want to reveal your strategy on thread, but I need to know something if I'm to support you effectively!

[twelve]

Yeah I know how futile it's going to be. That's why I'm not planning on it and try and fly through for some easy pickings on the other side.

Well, I was planning on being slick with the double hull and sentient hull. But then I went to double-check my facts. I could have sworn sentient hulls regenerated a point between each engagement round. Apparently not. So I screwed up that turn.

I can pretty much eliminate Khell if I choose to do so but I'm with you on that being boring. What say we fuck with Morgoth?

I was wondering what you were trying to do. It's morph shield which regenerates, sentient hull would be a tad overpowered if it regenerated too!

So do you want me to move in with ships which actually do some damage, or just pin things? I can send interceptors or cruisers into his hexes using my jump drive depending on your goals.

Hmmm if we take Morgoths homeworld, and Tapper and Khell take D'reks, that would leave Khell as the only person to retain his original homeworld

You going to give me any hints on where you are off too on your adventures?

[Gnaw]

Well, I can build 2 dreads and soak up damage. Or 3 cruisers. or 5 fighters. or combinations thereof.

[Imperial Historian]

Bah, I can't see an easy way to hurt morgoth. Our ships aren't strong enough to provide a credible threat.

I'd build 3 cruisers Gnaw, minimises the actions for the most firepower, we aren't going to soak up damage credibly, and you'll probably need to do at least some damage to take a world from him.

He's going to struggle to hold all his worlds, so I guess we go opportunist, and try for some of his empty worlds if he overreaches, maybe hold off your build for a little while.

I can throw in some ships to pin him if needs be later, but I think our best bet is:

Research? or build shellworld for 20 material in twelves homeworld

You have given me a cause worth fighting for. I thank you.

[Tapper]

Research Tachyon Drive.

Where ever I can reach. That's my biggest weakness. I can't go very far.

Well if you've got your heart set on shellworld you'd better grab it before D'rek does.

[Imperial Historian]

Thats actually my move, I just couldn't remember which action you need to use!
