[@Hokum] [@CmdrAlfieq] [b]As Ernest[/b] "I'm starting to regret associating myself with you." Ernest says to Fanny May, who has basically become the captain. Against Ernest's will. Ernest Contacts the MASGC: "This is Ernest of... The Ernest. We mean you no harm, we are just informing you of Hany's Ribbon, and how it's basically guaranteed death for all of you if you stay here. I have scene it's power. It effortlessly destroyed a solar system. In case it wasn't clear, we have nothing to do with the Ribbon." Ernest continues the message: "Also, just a heads up, we are going to dock near you. That's not a request. You can fight us if you want. I have no intention to hurt you, but I am both willing to and capable of fighting whatever you have as defence should the need rise." After Ernest sends the transmission, he metaphorically turns back to Fanny May, and says "Remind me to come up with a better way to introduce myself over coms. And you should probably limit your beer intake. Being drunk in this situation does not seem like a good idea." Terminal: [quote] PATH SET SUCCESSFULLY. INITIATING TELEPORT....

[/quote] [hr] [@Hokum] [b]As Rodia[/b] The R-Core fall silent in fear as the entirety of Rodia rumbles, many lights malfunction, general earthquake stuff. This is far more alarming for them, since this isn't a planet, and therefore shouldn't be able to Earthquake. As some, but not all, of the lights come back on, the R-Core start talking. "What the heck was that?" says one. "How am I supposed to know?!" says another. A few look out the nearby windows. "That thing, whatever it is, probably has something to do with it." Sais a third, pointing towards the massive space torpedo. R-Core start gathering around windows to look in awe of the incredible spaceship. Lars flips out as the strange spaceship attacks, and Ramrod disappears from right beside him. As he talks with other officials, he figures out they are being attacked. "I must inform Rorod!" he says, as he starts running to the factory. Over at the factory, Rorod and The Head manage to make sure no new R-Core were started. Although, 10 incomplete R-Core are already started, three of which were accidentally activated before hand, and five more have been activated from being startled from the attack. There are now 8 fully active R-Core that are incomplete, and two that will wake up soon. Suddenly, Lars bursts into the Factory Head's Office. "Mr Rorod! I have grave news!" Rorod: "Yeah, I heard about the attack." Lars: "It's more than JUST an attack, Rorod! Ramrod is gone! I have no idea where he is or why he disappeared! It probably has something to do with the attack but I can't be sure." Rorod: "What." Rorod reluctantly leaves the factory to the Factory Head, and goes with Lars back to Ramrod's office. There, they attempt to hail the giant space torpedo. They send the message through several different coms systems, hoping at least one will work. "This is Rorod, executive assistant of Ramrod and acting leader of Rodia. Consearning your latest attack... What the heck, man?! What are you doing? Why are you attacking us?! And if you know where our leader, Ramrod, is, I demand to know!" [hr] [b]As Ramrod[/b] Ramrod is understandably confused from being teleported. He looks around, and is greatly disturbed by what the omminice voice is saying. "Mraoh? mraoh? Mraoh.... Mraoh mraoh mraoh?!" (Unique lifeform? Treasure? Are... are these things trying to enslave the R-Core?!) Ramrod is assuming his captors can not understand him. "Mraoh mraoh..." (I should try to communicate with these people...) Ramrod mraoh'd to himself. "Mraoh! Mraoh mraoh mraoh!" (Mraoh! I must have left the translator back at home!) No use translating that first mraoh, I would have to censor it anyway. Ramrod thinks he might be able to use his web to write on the wall to communicate with his captors. He's still thinking about that, though.
