After a bright flash in the sky, one of the scientists comes up to Phantom Zero and tells him about what's happening with the stars.
Phantom Zero: I see... So the star wasn't set to go off now?
Scientist: No, not at all, as a matter of fact it was set to go off in another million or so years... Close to the end phase of a Red Giant.
Phantom Zero: Hmmmmm... This happened in the other galaxy that we were in too right?
Scientist: Yes, quite a few stars went Supernova before their due-date.
Phantom Zero: We will look more into this later, now we have to deal with these other life forms here...
*Phantom Zero waves over a biologist*
Biologist: What is it?
*Phantom Zero stands up*
Phantom Zero: We need to find out what those humanoid things are, Sir. I will dispatch a team to take one of those things alive and bring it back here. When that happens, I need you to be ready. Got it?

I create an abandoned space ship in orbit of a gas giant in PhantomZero's Solar system. I also ended my rage of supernovas, it was drawing a lot of attention.
"I'm glad I calmed down. This abandoned ship should get some interest."

Sorry for the minimum contribution to the game, but I think I'm going to quit. I've gotten really busy over the last days and I haven't updated here in nearly a month.
(OOC: When will we be allowed to build ships? I'M BORED! Kidding, but still, my empire needs ships.) --------------- Solstice: I want...power...MORE...POWER!!!!! *causes Laser Drill to fire on Sentaria's moon*
Solstice: With another Mainframe AI in place, I WILL BECOME EVEN MORE POWERFUL!!! DRILL OPERATING AT 100% EFFICIENCY!!!
Sansar: This will ensure the security of our planet for now. Keep up the above-average work, Solstice. Your destructive enthusiasm worries me, though.

*Solstice plays a recording of early humans on Earth.*
Human 1: ...Gods?
Human 2: ...Angels?
Sentarian: Yes! We are your gods! We created you! Now, we need you to do something...
Human 2: DO WE NEED TO SACRIFICE OUR CHILDREN!? I'M STARVING!
Sentarian: Uh, that will not be necessary. We need you...to become...civilized.
Human 2: Why? We are perfectly civilized!
Sentarian: You were ready to slaughter your own kind. No, not civilized. Make culture, have language! Prepare for our arrival 13,000 years from now! We will then give you rewards for your work!
Human 1: Ooh, rewards! Like beautiful women?

I had a good laugh watching that recording. It was true though, young races are very east to corrupt. I wonder what PhantomZero's people will do once they see the abandoned ship in their system.

Sansar: All goes well for our plans. Excellent work, Solstice.
Solstice: SILENCE! I MUST FOCUS ON MY WORK!
Sansar: ...arrogant pebble.

(A little history on Solstice: Solstice was given free will after the empire's head scientist, Techmide, placed his assistant droid's brain in the AI. His assistant, a droid named "Bolt Bucket", had a mind completely of his own. How, they still don't know. Techmide was in a hurry, and had to use a rock in his desk as a brain for it. Somehow or other, the rock seemed to have a mind of its own. It controlled the droid and completed any task Techmide assigned to it. In recognition of his incredibly efficient droid, they placed the "brain" into the Mainframe AI. It named itself.)

Race: Pebble Description: We are a race of sentient pebbles. We live in free space, though we tend to combine into a planet. We have tiny boosters, which are powered by Hydrogen. In fact, we use Hydrogen as a power source.
Actually, we are a type of escaped robot. But we are essentially pebbles.
Solstice was excommunicated from the group when we discovered that he was plotting to take over the world.
Advantages: We are small and difficult to detect.
Disadvantages: We require Hydrogen for daily use, as well as
Home World: We orbit the star known as Pebbleville, a young star. We periodically gather Hydrogen to fuel ourselves.

MAJOR BUMB! I figure we need to start this up again...
Phantom Zero: Hey you!
*PZ waves over the same Engineer as last time*
Phantom Zero: Hows the dock going?
Engineer: Eh, not going to fast but not going slow... We are making progress on a few other things though.
Phantom Zero: Like what?
Engineer: Well We got a ping from what apperes to be a ship some where near the closest gas giant. We have no idea what it is! We checked it doesn't match any of the old ships we had in our record... Nonjas, Faradinians, althugh it does slightly resemble the Droid ships that Paradox had.
Phantom Zero: Hmmm, interesting, Shall we take a look at this ship?
*As Phantom Zero boards the battle ship, he waves over for Felicia to come on*
Phantom Zero: We need some one like you for this job...

As the relatively large battleship crests the upper atmosphere, Phantom Zero along with Felicia and a few nameless serfs see a derelict ship on the upper atmosphere of "New Eden". The ship seems to be split in half... Strangely though, there seems to be no body's anywhere in or around the ship. It also seems that the ship has huge growths on its hull.
Phantom Zero: Hmmm that ship seems familiar, strangely... Bring us in closer, I want a good look at its name plate.
In the wreck of what used to be a ship, there are what seems like random growths that look organic attached to scraps of metal.
Felicia: Well, I don't remember anyone saying or studying something like this... Then again I spent half my life inside the engine room of a capital battle cruiser.
Pilot: Huh... WAIT! I REMEMBER NOW! PZ, do you remember Captain Morgan, Tex, and John?
Phantom Zero: Yes, why?
Pilot: They were on this ship! Should We check to make sure their alright?
Phantom Zero: As much as I hate to say this, We can't got after them. We need to stay focused at the task at hand. And plus, if they aren't dead yet, they won't be anytime soon.
As PZ catches the name of the ship, he regretfully pulls up his holo-pad and Puts Captain Morgan, Tex, and John In MIA until further notice. As they ship turns around PZ feels like something is watching them, from the inside of the battle ship their in... They soon head towards the Gas Giant with the Derelict ship in its orbit.
The Nonjas finally finish a lunch of H2G2 proportions and settle in to business. They pop out of improbability mode directly into the atmosphere of New Eden, where it smacks PZ's communications systems with an annoying ad for their products.
Phantom Zero annoyed at the stupid advertisements radios in the Nonja ship.
Phantom Zero: "Look, You might want to get out of the atmosphere of New Eden. There is a derelict ship infested with something. As I said This is a warning. I advise you to follow it."
The message repeats to the Nonja ship so that way they know whats happening. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Derelict Ship"
Tex and John both wake up out of cryogenics at around relitively the same time, they notice that the room is flashing red with the word "ALERT" flashing with big red letters above their heads. As most military ships have the gear for battle right next to the cryotubes for instant suiting up. As they both suit up, they both look at eachother "Sir", "Ma'am" They both check up on ammo and kick the door open. A large hiss and thier out into the vacume...
As Captain Morgan kills the last "Thing" he mubles to himself, "Not again..."
Luna: Ballista Tanks are nearing mass production scale. Research progress is moving smoothly. Commerce ship has found a few habitable planets, but no potential slave species.
Sansar: Keep looking, we need a gullible humanoid civilization. Angels. Hah.

Solstice and Luna in perfect unison: Ballista Tanks are now in mass production.
Sansar: Excellent work. Is there now any question that Oldrumal and Gossol are defeated? Surely their many creations will tremble at the awesome power of the Sentarians! Be they Humans or Plordarons or Sarakons, they will all be crushed by our might! None can stop our mechanical fury!
*Commerce ship getting closer to PZ's people*
