Endian

Endian watched with a frown as the Leviathan screeched and struggled, before at last slumping over dead. It seemed that Shizuka had been successful in finishing off the beast, and with the Leviathan dead the hold that its powers held on the environment of the sector itself began to wane. That meant that the Contender could pull itself out of the sectors poisonous waters that much quicker, and soon they were back in a more calming shade of blue rather than disturbing red.

"Get this thing off the deck," she directed, gesturing for crewmembers to begin cleaning off the acid that had landed on the ship thus far from the water and the things blood, more of them moving to retrieve Shizuka from the hole she had cut in the beast before they got to work removing Leviathan from the vessel itself. They didn't need that thing curled around their ship and dragging them down, not with the damage that they already had.

While they did that, she was able to take stock of their situation. Graf was still functional, but Marquis was down. They were currently the lowest in terms of territory, but they had the most units left in the field as far as she was aware. Now was the time to push, and see if they could turn this around somehow. She was in the process of doing so when Hibiki's message came in, the Commander nodding even if she was surprised by it. Honestly she hadn't expected Hibiki to succeed in what she had set out to do, and to hear that they had the treasure that they had lost previously was quite the good news.

"Acknowledged," she replied smoothly as she activated her comms. "There will be-"

She cut herself off as radar returns came up, pinging a fleet headed towards their Machina comrade, who was currently a bit disabled at the moment. "Unit Hibiki, you have incoming hostiles," she snapped off before turning to a general channel. "All units, divert to Sector Gamma immediately. Expect hostile action."

Noting that Grafdakka was moving for his throne, Endian went for her own transport, open top transport vehicles appearing from the hangars of the Contender alongside hovering interceptors and gunships. Naval guns reoriented as targeting solutions were brought up, and they were ready by the time that Endian had boarded her own transport, drones hovering nearby. She was not the only one prepped, and she made sure that Graf was ready and Shizuka was also ready to come along before taking her next action.

"Execute." With those words the naval guns barked, throwing high powered shells towards the dwarven fleet. Even if they didn't hit anything it would serve to cast disarray into their ranks, something to be taken advantage of as the interceptors roared ahead, moving to clear a path for the transports and gunships as they followed behind. Graf's throne would also launch off, casting him towards the dwarven fleet, while in the meanwhile the Contender followed behind them. One way or another, this fight would end.

Tartys

A sigh escaped as the Angel let her tiredness slip out, the energy from the beginning of this battle already starting to wear away now that things seemed to be nearing their conclusion. A quick slap to her cheek arrested that downward motion though, the angel not allowing herself to grow too fatigued. The battle was not over just yet, and until she had quit the battlefield she had to give it her all. Her duty to Heaven demanded no less.

But what could she do? Her forces were mostly intact but Omega was basically done, even if he had been ferried off for medical attention as quickly as their forces could manage. But things did not look too good. In territory they equaled the demons, but still had a significant resource disadvantage. It was a difficult problem to overcome. At least the Leviathan seemed like it had been vanquished, and their meteor was still on track to fall and hit the ground.

After a moment she made up her mind. They might be at a disadvantage but they weren't out of this just yet. "Let's move out," she called to the units who were with her before taking off towards Gamma Sector, where Dorafraki's fleet waited. It was a quick trip all told, and soon enough her units had linked up with the Dwarven fleet. "I hope you don't mind me adding my forces," she called as she drew near the dwarf, eyeing the Machina down below in the water. "Omega has been critically wounded, but the remaining demon commanders have been dispatched from this battle. They should pose us no more problems." Now they just had to handle the Machina.

IF

Pausing to listen to what their host had to say, IF frowned as the seriousness of the situation began to sink in. This was all that was left of her world? Just this room? How was something like that possible? Then again, given that she was here it probably wasn't that unbelievable. And on the heels of that her request, to stop the person who had done this and fix things, before other worlds ended up like this one.

A sigh escaped as she took it all in. "Geez, it's like a situation out of a roleplaying game or something," she noted aloud in a manner that totally wasn't treading on the fourth wall in any way at all. This was a common scenario in fictional media after all, the gathering of heroes, the grave threat to the world, that sort of thing. It all fit too well.

But that wasn't going to stop her, not when she had been called and Charmeine obviously needed their help. A bunch of the others had already agreed, from the mundane people to the more colorfully decorated ones. "Well I guess I can't turn away from something like this," she noted as she glanced around before nodding to their host. "I'll do what I can to help you out too." It looked like she was going to be on another adventure.



Ulith

Well well, weren't things interesting here?

Honestly a laser barrage or what have you wasn't too unusual with what she had to deal with in Selector matches, and she was able to ignore it without batting an eye. Instead she was more interested in what their hostess had to say, and how she would be convincing those more reluctant to play along with whatever she had in mind.

To her interest and a smirk, Zuriel provided. Some sort of small shimmering item appeared, one that she claimed was the core of a world with infinite power inside. It seemed more than enough to pull in those who had their doubts as well, aside from that unfortunate Robotnik fellow who got lit on fire by the lasers, but even he came around eventually. It seemed that power would ultimately be the lever that brought those involved to working with her.

Not that Ulith cared about power in the slightest. Her dreams, her desires, they could be granted without absolute power like what was being offered. No, so long as she could interact with people, she'd always have her fun.

As a result, while noting the appearance of new individuals to the events here, she nodded towards Zuriel. "Like I said, I don't have anything better to do. Where do we start?"
I'm actually working on a post right now, so how about that timing.
Masae Kanegawa

Just another day at Purple Crown Academy, as anyone would tell you.

Okay, maybe that wasn't quite the truth. For one it was a Saturday, meaning that there was plenty of time to kick back, relax, and unwind after all the schoolwork and the stress of the previous week. That was something that Masae could appreciate, and she was already looking forward to it. Maybe a bit of strategy gaming? Or she could work on that book she'd been meaning to finish. Either way, there was plenty for her (and people like her) to do.

Oh, and there was the stuff that had happened in Deep Ground Online recently, practically dominating the rumor mill of the Academy, but she did her best to try and ignore it. that wasn't her life anymore, not after everything that had happened, so she did her best to pretend like it didn't exist. She found that it made things simpler for her.

At the moment though she was currently ensconced within the sound booth in the gymnasium, seated in front of the computer set up as the monitors glowed and caught against her glasses. Various screens scrolled, text flying past as she worked and let various clicks and beeps fill the room itself.

"Seriously, what happened here," she muttered to herself in disbelief. This system had gotten seriously messed up, with junk files, programming messing up the system and making it slow if not outright unusable. All she knew was that it was connected to someone commandeering the school speaker system to blare out their music some time ago, though she didn't know why they hadn't fixed it up until this point. Maybe they just hadn't seen the problem until now.

She got to work though, picking out affected areas and getting to work in tracking down the source of the areas. Quickly it became apparent that the problem wasn't just the initial error, but the fact that someone had messed up in trying to fix it which led to this jumbled calamity of errors. It was probably a teacher, and somehow she wasn't surprised. In her experience technology seemed to have an almost pathological hatred for those in the teaching profession, not working even when there was no legitimate reason for it to not function besides something ridiculously specific. Then again, most teachers only seemed to know the basics of how certain devices functioned, so perhaps it was to be expected. Even if she would admit that she might be a tad bit unfair to them given the situation.

Eventually she narrowed it down to a single spot and activated troubleshooting software, following along as she angled in on the solution. A few changes of settings, an altered command line or two, and just like that everything was back to normal. A more relieved sigh filled the air as she sat back, simply relaxing from the job well done as she enjoyed her success. A warm feeling suffused her, as she let herself stretch a bit.

But she couldn't be certain that she had actually succeeded yet, and straightening up once more she quickly scrolled through a list of options before activating the internal speakers of the booth to make sure that it was working. Activating it, she was soon greeted with the sound of music, cellos thrumming away in duet. She enjoyed it, yet cut the music after a few seconds and went on to put the computer into sleep mode. She had confirmed that it worked, so her job was done here.

Picking up her bag, she slipped her stuff into it and headed out, quickly making her way through the halls and towards the exit. She could report her success later if someone didn't discover it by then. Right now she wanted to enjoy the weekend that she had left, and that would not involve sticking around here. She'd swing by her apartment, maybe see if Aderyn was in right now, and then on to some place a bit more interesting. Easy.

Humming to herself, she set off with a determined drive. The day would not wait for her, and she would not keep it waiting.
When I say 'necessary', I mean that the Goa'uld don't bring anything to the table that the other factions don't already possess, meaning that the other factions can view them as not important to an overall victory. Which is why they can feel comfortable not dealing with my faction, because I have nothing that they want. And I can't use the threat of punching them in the face because they don't believe that it's a credible threat.

Alright then, let me just check to make sure. So it's okay for me to go to another universe where sentient life never developed and colonize that to my hearts content, but I can't colonize a single planet in a universe that has other PC factions in it? Got it, makes sense.

But hey, I can't explore other peoples home universes because unless they came through one of my terminals then I don't even know that they exist. Because again, none of the individual characters have felt interested in interacting with the Goa'uld. Which was a thing in the last RP too, so I'm not sure why I'm surprised.

Basically, I can't fight because everyone is confident that they can kick my ass, I can't negotiate because no one wants to talk, they just want to enforce demands, I can't do sneaky stuff to change it because the various factions opposing mine are immune to the one area that my faction is specifically out and out good at, and my only hope for teching up is either robbing Tyranid battlefield graveyards (which seems like a bad idea just in principle) or going to another universe and getting it. Ignoring the fact that if it was that easy then the Goa'uld would have done it in the five years since arriving here and meeting the Imperium.

But of course it's all my fault. Why should I be surprised?

Hold on now, now we're just deliberately not remembering things.

I did try to negotiate at that conference, and your guys said that I'd take the territory I was given and I'd like it or else. There was no attempt at trying to reach a compromise, and no time to do so because the Tyrands decided to drop in and ruin everything before anyone could actually agree to any deals that might be presented. And Ba'al chose to not go to the second meeting as a negotiating tactic, but it seems like that won't matter because your guys don't need the Goa'uld to actually win this fight.

I have been willing to negotiate, hell, would have loved to. But you can't really negotiate when every other faction thinks that you're a group of primitives who can barely fly a spaceship and aren't worthy of being in the same room much less the same universe.

You know, I'd love to kill a Chryssalid, but given that I was under the impression all your guys lived in orbit I'm not sure where I'd even get one.

As for your other claim, nowhere in this thread was I given the impression that I have complete access to the entire multiverse as I wish. At best it would have been what was accessible by the terminals, and I didn't know where those terminals might go. The multiverse RP aspect was because different things from the multiverse were combined into this one reality. Not because I have unlimited access to infinite realities. At least, I've never been given any indication as such until this moment. Mostly because it would ruin the premise of the RP, but y'know, details.
>Steal tech

Yeah, sure. Because I can't sneak in a suitcase of potentially useful espionage equipment but I can totally sneak out the blueprints for some amazing tech you guys have, past the guys with psychic powers. Because that will totally work.

I'm not the one who's saying that my faction is weak, I've just been pushed into a position by everyone else insisting that my faction is weak. I can't cut deals or double cross, because I don't have anything other people want, or would negotiate about. the Imperium already showed that either people play things their way or they can go fuck off, and the Ethereals don't really negotiate with anyone unless they feel like it. And since this has apparently been the norm in the backstory (because the Goa'uld would totally let their enemies fight a major war and recover from it without pulling anything)

Basically, I can't actually do anything that you're suggesting that I do, and I don't see any of the other GM's chiming in to settle the dispute in a fair manner besides you pushing your faction as much as you can, and me trying to defend my capabilities. Then again, I should have known better than to argue against the GM faction.
@Flamelord Help us stop the Tyranid?


I can nuke the planet until it's uninhabitable, but somehow I feel like that isn't the answer you're looking for. And besides serving as cannon fodder, it's already been established that my military pales in comparison to the mighty Imperium (except maybe the Kull. Harder to determine there)

Srry, but I didn't sign up to be the meat shield and pretend like I'm relevant while every other faction relentlessly mocks mine, as if they aren't a civilization spanning two, if not three, galaxies.
Okay, i perfectly understand. Can't infiltrate the Imperium, can't really screw with the Ethereals due to being in orbit and not giving a fuck about anything, no friendly NPC's, no friendly PC's.

What was the point of my faction being here again, besides being a punching bag for you guys?
