exatreide Posted February 16, 2003 Author Posted February 16, 2003 Nope, Dune depended on many resources, Spice was just the most presious. :)
hilamobster13 Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 no, i beleive that the spice is the only relevant mineral on dune. without it, dune would fall. ol' frank made a book series out of it, and this is its fansite. apperantly that formula works well in stories, wouldn't you say so?

exatreide Posted February 18, 2003 Author Posted February 18, 2003 O'Ryan was slightly angerd at the scientists call, he had set his com on busy, but the scientist didnt care, interupting O'Ryan in a very...compromising situation in the Red Lights Level of Julius.O'Ryan had quickly dressed and headed towards the nearest transport, Which he took to the scientists research facility in the fomer black sea, for a emergency research meeting. He docked, and quickly passed through the air lock whare he was greated by docter Vorf."Velcome to der research facilty Mizzter president""This better be inportent, i was in a very inportent meeting with my secretary of agriculture."Da it is missta president. If you vould fallow me."O'ryan fallolwed the scienitist through several security doors before ariving in a large white room. florest lights shined down on them, several scientists stood agaisnt the walls smiling. A lone table stood in the middle of the room, with what looked like a belt in it."Diss is vaht are veresarch has goon too mizzta preizdent.""That? is what we spent so much time researching? 20,000 workers? 5,000 slaves, for a belt? it took this long to develop a belt? how long for the bikini?" O'ryan asked"Its not a ordinary belt mizta prezident. Alow me to vut it on." he walked over to the belt, picked it up, and tied it around his waist."shoot me mizta prezident."He didnt have to tell him twice, O'ryan noded smiling."Sure!" He said and whipped out his side arm.He fired a shot at the scienitists head.Nothing.He fired again, Nothing He still stood there.He poped out the clip, Yea they were live shells. He fired again.He kept firing, Every time he did, a small gleme sourunded the scientist.He emptied a full clip into him, and he just stood there smiling."Its da omega partical, It protects whatever it is inside it, we can put it on da ships, and da marines to protect them from bullets, only slow objects like da butterknife or da razor to penitrat it. alow us to show you da better presintation."He walked over towards the wall and pressed a button. The wall raised up to show a perfectly clear sea. In the distence bobed a old Submarine. The first utha subs were almost useless besides scoting roles, and they had been rotated out of survicea long time ago."its a autha class sub, mizzta prezident." Like he needed to be told, "its armor is very thin, can not take a single torpedo impact with out being destroyed. vatch this test mizzta president.8 torpedos could be made out racing towards the sub. They impacted at the exact same moment, in a blinding white flash. As it dimmed. O'ryan couldnt belive his eyes. It was still there! it took 6 direct hits from heavy torpedos and it was still there! think what it would do to the agimomnon, or the colonies!"very inpressive mizzta prezident.""Yes it is." He mumbled, He couldnt find his voice to express his shock and amazmeent.His com unit blinked, a class one military emergency."Whare is your nearest secure com?" He asked the scientist."Over der." He said pointing to a row of computers behind the president.O'Ryan ran over to them and imputed his security code. He face of Vice Admiral Tolkins Stared at him, eyes set in stone."Mr president, They gassed the egytion coloney, we were only able to evacuate 10,000 people in the time. The Gas was musterd gas and a very lethel strain of anthrax sir, they are all dead sir."He slammed his hand down on the desk."NUKE THE BASTERDS, KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM, I DONT WANT ANY THING LEFT AT ALL OF THE MUTANTS, NOTHING, KILL EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF THEM!" He said in a fit of unparalled rage."Yes sir." He general said saluting.

Dante Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 Reply to Anglo-Francais; There is little in the way of minerals or metals here, just sand and oil below the surface. Our territory has no land in it at all, and thus mining would be pretty difficult. We propose that once the rig is built (and we thank you very much for the submarine) that we trade the oil with you (in that you may trade with other nations with it) and as a bonus recieve all the trace minerals that will emerge with it.Sincerely, Home ship Freja Caledonia .Meanwhile, the Loki Iichaba sails on, and sends another hail in the direction of the Trifoil Cross in Antarctica...Message to Trifoil Cross;Again, we request permission to build an outpost and oil rig in the waters next to your territory. This would be mutually benificial, as we would be willing to trade the oil with you.Sincerely, Home ship Freja Caledonia .URGENT Message to Atlantians;Fuel from rig MUST be collected or production will shut down. We have three posts to keep distillation going but then it must stop until you empty the tanks.Sincerely, Home ship Freja Caledonia .Modification of submarine complete in; two posts.
Anathema Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 "Premier! Premier!" an office worker yelled.Morosov turned towards him. What did those annoying office monkeys want from him now?"Yes comrade, what seems to be the problem. I'm a busy man.""The KYA have used nuclear weapons against the mutants, sir.""What? That's a bit extreme of them. It is, however, none of our business. Why would they use nuclear weapons?""Well maybe they're...""Shut up, comrade. Leave."The worker left with quick pace. Morosov was particulary agitated because earlier that day he had heard of long range scanners picking up KYA military tests in the Black Sea. But he'd find out what that was all about soon enough. Soon, the first spy satelite would be complete and launched in stationary orbit above the test site.Atlantis4,219,000Southern Russia112,500Artic19,700Poland12,300SpaceAtlantian Space Station at 2 modulesthird module at 50% rising 25 % each postSpy satelite at 66.67%, rising 33.33% each postSubmarine fleet4 guarding Atlantis capitol1 guarding Artic1 heading towards Artic1 guarding Poland1 guarding southern Russia1 heading towards southern Russia2 guarding Iraq border2 fleets under construction, 1 post remainingSurface fleet2 Guarding Atlantis2 heading towards southern Russia1 fleet under construction, 1 post remainingOil supply84,000 units, rising 9,000 per postUranium24,000 units, rising 4,000 per postMetal58,000 units, rising 12,000 per postStealth project20%, rising 20 % each post1 freighter heading towards Freja Caledonia, ETA 1 post

This was becouse of the mutant gassing of are egyption coloney killing 300,000 KYA People, Thus KYA is forced to declar Kis Shia Or Total War. No Mutant will be left on the surface of this earth from that point foward. Your assistence would be apreiated.Subject 2The Proposed trade path between are Turkish, and your South Russian Coloney we wish to begin immidently.You will construct half of it, along to this point on the map.We will construct it to this point.Torpedo and mac cannon turrets will be spaced far enough from the trade way to insure that it would not be destroyed in case of war.We sugest you do the same. It must be defended.We also sugest it be useing the ancient earth terms a 18 lane high way. With mutlipul layers for Personal, Military, And Trade.The Military Layer would be used to ferry suplies to each other in case we are at war with a third party. A KYA military section and a Atlantian section would be eqully apart and dug deep to prevent there destruction from a hostile nation.We will not begin construction of our section of the "chunnel" as it has been dubed until you agree to these terms. Do you agree?We Also sugest that we consider the possibility for a Monney that could be used in both KYA and Atlantian Territories.End Messege[/hide]--------------------------------------------------------------------Metel Suply36,000 Growing at 17,000 Per post Mineral Suply1020 growing at 630 per postFood suply29,500 growing at 2,500 per post.After Subtracting Civlian and military spendature subtract 1,500 per post.Oil Suply 115,100 Growing at 6,000 per Post + 15,000 Turkish Oil.After Subracting 6,000 Oil For Civlian SpendaturePopulation 4.77 million12 Fleet groups, 4 Fleet groups stationed along KYA boarders12 awaiting atack commands on mutant colonies-------------------------------------------------------sub fleetsClassifed locations.Two subfleets sent to reinforce Egpytion Coloney.

Lord J Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 (OOC: OK, "lockdown" won't suffice for long-term. I'm wrapping up the Confederacy's part in this post until I've got more time to play it out. Probably this summer. Dang, my typing skills have suffered with my forced absence...) Q'uev shudders as he contemplates the outcome of the proceedure. To completely reconstruct this temporal universe?! But is that not what our forebears did for us?, he thinks silently to himself. In the office, Andrews' finger wavers over the button. Closing his eyes, and with a deep hiss of breath, he jabs his finger down, and alters the history of the universe...Again. With a sharp pull of firey hot pain, the entire civilization once known as the Confederacy implodes. All buildings, weather manipulations, and people suddenly disappear from the water surrounding the once American continent. Suddenly, all other members of all other factions on Earth expirience peircing headaches. But otherwise, no change is made. Except, the Confederacy is no more. The Confederacy never existed, and there is no memory of any such faction, physical or psychological.
hilamobster13 Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 (ooc: that kinda throws any trade propositions out the window now doesn't it? che.)
hilamobster13 Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 with the destruction of the confederacy, the kikai is gone. with no american confederacy, japan never fell to rise as the kikai.japan simply was destroyed as a faction.in its place lies the tao mantic. the tao mantic is a clan of mancers, or mages of the ancient taoist ways. they do not hold any homeland, they roam the universe in a single fleet of huge vessels. no engines humm, for they are pushed through space and waters alike by the tao forces. they do not eat, they gather the energy of life around them. they harvest the spirit energy (non-lethally unless they want it to be) from any living thing they can, and survive only on such. they can traverse anything in body, for they can envelop themselves with a magical shield. they must project their own life energy to uphold it, therefore it can be destroyed. a single tao warrior commands not troops, but automatons, by manipulation. he is plugged into a 5 legged suspension tank, which he also controls. a single warrior can hold up 2 dozen of the automatons with his own magical energies, and they resemble mechanical crabs with blades in place of claws. a warrior can release magical energy remotely through the automatons, in the form of a bright green beam. automatons generally fight by tearing the enemy, be it ship or man, to pieces. they are constructed by taoists, who use the tao powers to convert the scrap metal from battles and ore from the planets into useable gears and such.the tao leaders are 5 men who command from a mysterious, spherical ship at the back of the fleets. they act as one mind, and have reached such a level of ascencion that they are as one. the tao fleet, which has roamed the galaxy for a millenia, is somewhere outside jupiter at the moment.///////////////////////////the 5 ascended thought in unison.the time has come.the time for the earthplanet to be reclaimed.reclaimed by those that have known its secrets, by those who have mastered its energy.the time has come.the tao mantic has come.the tao mantic fleet was roughly 50 vessels, (the number 5 is mystical, it is uesd a lot here) each 3/4ths of a mile in length. on each vessel were 50 dropships, no more than pods with a claw at the base, and long cords reaching from the top. on each dropship were 5 tao warrior command vessels, no more than 12 feet tall, and 50 automatons. the entire population of the tao mantic rode in these vessels, aside from those that had settled on the sisters of earth 500 years ago. skuld, urd, and belldandy, the so called sisters of the earth due to the fact that they were all spawned from the same energy. the settlers cultivate the planet's magical energies and reside on the planet to live in peace, or to join their brethren on the fleet when the day comes.the tao mantic fleet rode past one of jupiter's moons.///////////////////////////////////jae walked slowly down the hall, the three tied tails of hair on her right hanging down past her shapely breasts. she was 21 years old, around 5'7".her left cheek bore the marks of a powerful mantic, a black stripe just under her eye and another rising up from her neck. the ancient, traditional taoist kimono and bottom she wore flowed well over her curves. her eyes were piercing green, her hair jet black and draping down to her waist. as she walked, she seemed to move fluidly, like her silk clothing. she held her hands together just a few inches from her chest.she turned left, opened a door in the hallway, and entered a small chamber. inside was a man, same age, 6'1", and obviously not as powerful as her. "welcome," he said. jae slipped her kimono top off slowly, revealing her flesh to him. her lips gently uttered her words seductively."ready?"she slipped down the kimono bottom.//////////////////tao mantic is approaching earth orbit, destination at 0% and rising 25% per post. resources are gathered as needed, and the tao energies exist in everything. no need to post such.numbers are subject to change for automaton force, but at moment:fleet is at 100%, 50 vessels.dropships are at 25,000.automatons are at 125,000. tao warrior command units are at 12,500.tao warriors are at 30,000.tao hiten (elite warriors like jae) are at 500.
Anathema Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 (note: the southern Russia colony will now be designated the Azerbeidzjan colony)A group of small ships had been spotted by a recon vessel, south of Iraq and outside the demilitar.

hilamobster13 Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 (revision; the tao fleetships are only near 1/2 mile in length. 3/4 is too SDF-1 like.)the tao fleet silently flew threw the vacuum of space, completely silent in its movements. the taoists dedicated to manipulating the chii (spiritual forces) chanted in unison at the back of the ships. the conglomerated 5 thought amongst themself (not a typo, sort of a pun), planning and predicting what would occour when they reached their sacred homeland, earth, terra, gaia, whatever it had been referred to through the ages. it didn't matter. the name of such a powerful planet was unimportant; what was was that the tao mantic return to the birthplace of the life energies. for he who controlled earth and her sisters, controlled the fate of those who don't.the time has come...the tao mantic glided silently through the asteroid belt.///////////////////////as jae's wet, glistening body---- oops! finish this l8r!!//////////////////////// status remains the same for numbers.oh, and id like to point out that our resources are not infinite, they are simply gathered on the fly. if there is nothing around, then we dont have anything.
