Re: Observation Dec
The scenes and the COMs started coming in as Beth hacked her brains out and moved things around so almost every screen had different Views from the News Folks cams.
Nickerson's penthouse shot Up, Bodies on the roof...Burning SEC cars with more Bodies in the street
Wess Mansion Burning like a Lumber yard fire.. with no sign of dead outside but dozens of SEC and Fire-techs trying to beat down the Blaze.
Lady V's Villia Burning and smoking. looking like a beachhead..Bodies scattered all over SEC trying to get the fire techs in...
and Two shuttles being caught on Cams by people on the Ground..One a Cargo shuttle with one gun Bubble, the other a Yellow Felrite personal shuttle.
Two Fighters closed in..
all the COMs were being piped through..News casters , pilots and SEC..oddly enough, No ESN Coms were coming through?
Nade was almost ready to Pounce on Hack...Ori was none to happy but he knew how many guns were in this room...You Bring us here..on the pretense of Peace..and attack our planet?..how dare you!
Ori Grasps Nade's arm, she jerks it away, and he bows his head respectfully...but says, Your Highness? I think we will hear the reason....it does us no good to attack and die, this far from home..
Hack points at Ori, I knew I liked you...Now...Here is the thing..Total war..has no rules..what rules are there come from here... he pounds his chest....the attacks were set up, and Launched, before our Talks started....the next thing?..we attacked ESN enemies..that happen to be on your planet. except for the stolen shuttle..the only Felrites who were harmed..or killed... he shrugs, might be talking about dumping over a glass of soda...were those who worked with..or for..the EVOLs.Once the Bodies are counted up...you should see Nickeson, Wess, and Blankenship among the dead..
..but you still have killed out people...
Pointing at the screen, Hack says...Indeed...it could not be helped, nor...quite frankly, do i care..you see..we had alot of Humans die when the EVOLs attacked the ships that were Unarmed and Med-tech ships...This happened before , with the demons..we used to leave Med-tech ships go...not anymore...not my fault...if you push us, we push back...and we push very..very hard..
Nade looked at the screen smugly, her paw pointing at the screens with the fighters,you will have Lost all your people in this Mission...those who are dead on the ground, and Both shuttles will be blown out of the air, if they do not stand down...
Hack smiles, there is a hint of sadness,...i do not know..if any of my people died down there...but i do know , they all knew..they may not come back...all told?..we may lose up to 20 people, give or take? Not sure on the umbers because one of my people added an element..but..yeah..I think we win in the numbers thing..
Ori' fuzzy eyebrows knitted together,..you are saying...20 people did all that?
Hack shrugged, putting a hand out flat and flipping it over and back a couple times.....20...ish....now? Your Highness?..General..and Minister? take a look at those screens.....the city shot seems a bit much..I'll have to find out about that, but in the end, these were surgical strikes...
The Cats looked from one screen to another as Hack talked behind them..Imagine....My fleet....after we destroyed your ships...pounding your planet from orbit..say? two or three days of pounding...just to gibe the tortugans, Occui, Sanri and Skith a chance to catch up...then?..they will add thier weapons to the shelling of your planet...
..Once that is done?..our aircraft will fly over the surface, dropping bombs, shooting anything that moves or looks like a target...say?..two or three days of that....
he frowns,Somewhere in that time frame, we will have to pull half the ships out to Kill off the demon task force...then..once those ships return..we will start dropping the transport shuttles...In 20 hours, there will be close to 500,000 ESN troops..of many, many races...including the Cannibal Apes, the ape men, and the men from the delta Planets
His voice gets softer as he watches the Fighters close in and HAil the shuttles, But? what good is that? Your race will be knocked back to the stoneage...your people will hate our people forever..and sooner or later your planet will have to be cleansed...only the Demons win...one race , all but wiped out...
Ori Half turned as he said,I am sensing you have more to say...
Hack Nodded , his own eye glued to the screen..we brought you here, not just to save the lives, of a lot of my people, but to save your race...If you join with the AP.. you have a Member on the AP council..your trade ships have protected routes..you are free to hunt any enemies of the AP, since they will be your enemies as well....
Nade was still angry, but thoughtful,..and what does this cost us?
You pay your taxes to the AP...they aren't burdansome..they are for helping run the union...you will be asked for 2 ships to Join our fleet...by being an AP planet, your home will also be a place for ships to take shore leave, adding even more credits to your coffers..and?.. there will be patrols , Just outside your space..to help keep Demons and thier people from attacking you...if they launch and assault..we go to war with you..since , you will be one of us.
So..my people died..your enemies died..and those people in the shuttles will dies, just to seal peace?
to be honest? to gain allies...we do not eat our foes, we do not force breeding on them..the AP has banned together to help each other...I cannot speak for You, Nade. But i would rather have My people fight the darkness, with new friedns at thier side, then die fighter those who ...fight..the darkness, just because the demons haven't eaten you all yet..
..First?..let us see what your people do....
