KhreRiovtRex

Wow Pexil....great log. Now....she's either going to melt and give in to your charms, look at you deadpan and laugh, or.....she might just kill you. I'll be taking wagers at 10 til the hour! Seriously though, great job!

RES Talon Mission Briefing 514005.01 Season 19 As the stinger fled the battle as ordered to seek safe haven and protect the secrets of the stealth ship, they have been aided up by the timely arrival of the StoneReaver. The huge mining ship used its cutting laser to take out the final two ships that had been harassing Stinger. However, before both ships had moved fully into the nebula, an extremely large and powerful blast was picked up not so distant battle left behind. StoneReaver has suggested they move into cover and affect repairs. KhreRiovtRex -> BEGIN SIM KhreRiovtRex -> BEGIN SIM KhreRiovtRex -> BEGIN SIM ACTION: StoneReaver moves deeper into the nebula.

The Stinger has been given orders if things get back, to cloak and leave the area, it must be preserved over the fate of either the Talon or the Terronix.

There are several other specialized weapon systems and something that might be related to inter-warp weaponry. There is still much that remains a mystery to us. Some of the components utilized to create several systems are very rare and can be traced to specific systems, many of which are in the Othan's sector. We can na definitively say that they created it, but it is a high possibility, given the specialized materials and trace minerals.

RES Talon Mission Briefing 51404.03 - Season 19 The Talon, Terronix and the Stinger continue on towards the homeworld and are about a week from home, however......and uneasy feeling is felt by all, as there is little doubt that the enemy will try to waylay us yet, to prevent our presenting our prize as proof of their treachery.

RES Talon Mission Briefing 51403.27 - Season 19 The crews of the Talon and Stinger and Terronix have set course toward the homeworld, hoping that the evidence they have collected and protected will help stave off a potential coup or even a potential civil war breaking out within the Empire. It is crucial to na only get this evidence back, but then the hard part.....to convince the powers that be. Hope also rides on the Firehawk, to protect and deliver the StoneReaver and her crew as well.

RES Talon Mission Briefing 51402.20 - Season 19 As the Talon leads the captured "Stinger" back to ch'Rihan as evidence (and a prize) along with its Enarrain ensconced hrrau the br'tehh, in an attempt to bypass the Othan patrols and the ambushes assuredly awaiting them if they took a more direct route home, have taken an extreme arc, similar to the one they first took to get to this sector, bypassing the entire Markomen Sector, and hoping to eventually put into one of the more remote settlements in the Jubel or Samnar Sectors. Possibilities are either Hybera, or if they push farther towards Samnar, putting in at Ossec. Hopefully, the Othan Tal Shiar won't suspect they'd go this far out, knowing how badly they want to get their proof home to implicate the corruption and treason running rampant with the Othans.......
