Don't worry, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Rule number of Vegas love. Unless you find a buried nuke in Vegas, in which case you get that thing out as fast as you fucking can since we don't need a New Vegas.

Yet.

I sure hope nobody finds that one. Took me forever to hide it under that one casino.

That's what my dad shoved into the suit case then... I was wondering what the fuck the giant thing he's using as punching bag was actually...

[mattmanganon]

So... Can anyone bring me up to speed on what is happening in the IC?

@mattmanganon

...The events that have transpired IC bear a level of significant detail that cannot by adequately summarized without cogent active collaboration from everyone that was involved. I suggest everyone chips in with the events they themselves are most intimately involved with until we have a loose puzzle piece collage of the overall setting.

As for me: The lost Ennedi homeworld has been miraculously rediscovered after being lost for eighty million years, with remarkably intact planetary infrastructure and a starbase. It is being hailed as the greatest archeological find in the galaxy in over 200,000 years. The Straylight Institute recently formed the Ennedi Restoration Committee (henceforth E.R.C.) between itself, the Federation of Sol, the Ryukyuan Empire, and the seventh mercenary division of the GNT. The E.R.C. raced to Enned in order to secure the system before scavengers, raiders, and other forces arrived to loot the place. While establishing control over the area, an Azu ship dropped in uninvited and attempted to land, with the captain issuing a threat to Straylight that they would glass half the planet's surface along with all the GNT personnel there if their vessel was attacked or otherwise interfered with. SI's ship responded by performing an emergency FTL jump to position itself between the Azu vessel and the planet, and the Federation has launched an attack on the Azu ship. Meanwhile, on the ground the clandestine Fourth Division of the GNT has intentionally reactivated long-dormant automated defenses in an isolated district that are dismantling several infantry teams of the Seventh division, and in response to the Azu's presence a capital ship belonging to the Fourth division has entered the system as well with an unknown agenda.

@mattmanganon

I have no idea either, but I'll give you an update on what I've done. You can totally just not read this, unless you really, really want to make contact with 1960's America.

So, a Kraikiran nestship ended up in Rissan space and attacked Space New York... I mean Foundation 1. A bunch of civilians and soldiers were abducted, and instead of nuking the ship, the Commander of Foundation 1 ordered all nearby ships to go after the nestship, disable it, and get back the abductees. They've boarded it, and the Commander is irrationally asking an alien for answers with a pistol pointed at his head. Because, you know, aliens all speak his language.

Meanwhile, back on their homeworld, the Rissan version of the Greensboro sit-ins is happening.

[Forsythe]

The Faira explored past the two systems they knew of and made contact with the SAAIL (with whom they signed a defense treaty) and the Synnsik, who are being talked to at the moment. They also sent a probe to another system that I believe nobody capitalized on yet, so that's a way to contact us if you so desire.

[darkwolf687]

The New Hierarchy is just sort of waking up from a very long sleep with a very nasty hang over and being like "Wha- How many years have passed? 100 million? Eh, that oughta be enough..."

[Murtox]

the UNR had contact with extraterrestrials and avoided a WW3 because of that , they are currently making new ships and developing a FTL drive

[Apollo26]

The Nül have discovered some long dormant space-blood-parasite-demon-cosmic horror thing, and are about to go crash the party in the Enned system.....beacuse.....reasons

[Queen Raidne]

Eastwing is sending a ship to Ennedi to jump on the bandwagon to try and force their way onto the galactic stage, since they're half-convinced nobody takes them seriously.* They're also going to make contact with the Fourth everyone cupcakes for reasons. But that ship is still a day or two out.

Meanwhile, there's a ship that's just made contact with Durandal's civilization, and another doing the same at Clock's civilization. Oh, and President Penelope Kate's frustrated at her nation's inane focus on ship-building rather than, you know, repairing the power infrastructure in their capital city.

_{*Hey, I wouldn't take a race that dampens their weapon power because they've added so much extra stuff to make the lasers pretty seriously either.}
