Invasion of Roche OOC [GR vs Mandos]

Alright, man. Are you and Keira gonna go investigate?

I'd say given the current events that Lusk and Keira would like to know what just happened, so I'd say yes they are going to move towards what's going down with Ali and the Republic

 

[Keira Priest]

You're forgetting the part where Keira will still probably kick Vilaz's teeth in with a good enough reason. But carry on.

Alright. Just making cause Elijah and I have found ourselves some new opponents.

[member="Keira Ticon"]

Soon™.

[member=Vahn Fett]

You and your partner interested in dueling me and Elijah?

Of course you say that after Draco has moved to the Central Hub. If you want to come get him.

I'm down for it, but I will ask [member="Jaccer Ramirez"] if he is too. Feel free to jump in.

Sorry for the delay.

I've been working on a post on and off all day. Having a hard time sitting still today.

If you want to draft up a post for whenever I finally manage to drop my, the TLDR is going to be that the four Rekali-class Fighters chase after the probe, catching up to it quickly but being unable to get a visual on where their sensors are telling them the shuttle is. They ping an Interrogation Module to try and get the ship to give away its position and identity. They get nothing from the probe, because the probe lacks a transponder. But they get a faint signal coming from elsewhere, which makes them believe that they fell for a decoy.

Interrogation Modules are fairly rare... nobody really uses them. IC, they are used by police to identify ships at port and by militaries to identify their own ships. While that could probably be manually turned off... most people wouldn't think to do so. So the "ghost signature" would be your transponder making a quick broadcast before the pilot goes "oh kark" and turns it off.

Naast'ika may or may not end up blowing up a few asteroids to help him get a clear path to the real shuttle...

And the 6 ships in Naast'ika's hanger bay will launch and start moving to intercept where the Rekali Starfighters are heading.


Outside of that... my post is mainly stuff going on inside Naast'ika. Dialog and stuff.

Getting it... to not sound stupid is proving difficult. But I'll try to drop this post as soon as I can.

 

[Mantic Dorn]

[member="Mantic Dorn"] - I shot at you.

Oh, bugger. I somehow thought it was a preperation for shooting. My bad, busy day, but I'll try to edit asap.

Taking advantage of the interrogation module is a brilliant idea I'll have to remember that one. The only thing is, would a vessel designed specifically with stealth in mind even have one? And if it did, would it be tied in to the stealth systems, and thus automatically deactivated while in those systems are in use? For an answer, I'll defer to [member=Gir Quee], as it is his design. However he decides it, I'll play along. So ping away and I'll make sure my response is in corroboration with his answer.

I've been enjoying your posts though; you seem to be handling the inner dialogue pretty well. You give the ship a personality that's not too strong, so it reads as a decent mixture between living being and soulless machine (not sure that was your intent).

I wanted to add about the interrogation module: If you suspect the ship you're trying to find is a stealth vessel, would you expect a ping back in the first place? I ask because not receiving a ping from the decoy would be a dead giveaway that this wasn't your target; but what if you're expecting the vessel to not be emitting signals of any kind? Would not receiving a ping still tip you off, or would you have expected it, and thus continue believing the decoy to be your target?

By the Force, I think we just started a philosophy discussion.

Naast'ika is fairly child-like. He doesn't... entirely get the gravity of the whole... murder... thing. Since he's grown up without ever having any real emotional connections, friends, family, exc... and has never experienced the loss of a loved one... He just doesn't get it.

And having the memories of a Sith Lord bouncing around his head doesn't help much either.

For him, it's all just a game. He just wants to play, have fun, and win.

Oh. And impress Captain Tupu and Mr. Larraq (his maker/owner).

I'm done with that section of the post. The Rekali Fighters can move surprisingly fast when they have a straightaway to work with. In the post, they had tried to ambush the probe and opened fire on where their sensors were telling them it was. They figured it was just really, really good stealth and did a scattered barrage of space in the hope of hitting... something. But when nothing hit, the squadron leader suspected something was up and pinged the Interrogator Module. At point blank, he should have gotten something back. Even just a signal bouncing off the hull (letting him know that there was a stealthed ship nearby) would have told him they were close. Instead, he got nothing.

Atm, I've got him getting a faint, scrambled and encrypted signal that "looks like Republic encryption" coming from the direction where they are... suspecting the real stealth shuttle is hiding. So... they're now racing over there. (these are very fast ships)

If somebody wants to duel, I'm not up to much in this invasion at the moment.

Works well enough for me! I'm glad you were able to resolve it.

You get to experience the full-on crazy version of Naast'ika.

Jaccer is pretty beaten up at the moment. After I get him some medical attention I should be good to go!
