The Battle of Rapture

UNSO-1701
April 19, 2189
All times in Zulu / Expanse Standard Time

• 0000 - PACT's First Fleet, comprised of Joint Task Forces 11, 12, 14, and 15, arrives in the Rapture system from Horizon via Widowmaker (ed note: placeholder name) and sets course for the Choson catapult station with JTF 14 in the van and all other task forces in line astern.

• 0300 - First Fleet picket destroyers detect a ZOCU task force approaching from the Choson catapult and report this to the fleet commander (Admiral Michael Konde, USN) aboard the supercarrier Ronald Reagan as 'Group Alpha'.

• 0700 - Group Alpha engages First Fleet's leading elements slightly more than halfway between Jump Zone Widowmaker and JZ Choson; losses are estimated at approximately five vessels destroyed (each side) and ten damaged (each side). Group Alpha then commences a tactical withdrawal toward the concentration of cosmic debris designated Asteroid Field 1, approximately equidistant from the Choson, Kanon, and Erebus catapult stations. Admiral Konde detaches JTF 14 to secure JZ Choson and the catapult there and orders pursuit of Group Alpha.

• 1200 - JTF 14 arrives at and secures JZ Choson, and commences boarding operations to secure the catapult there.

• 1400 - First Fleet pickets detect large concentrations of ZOCU vessels and a large, unknown signature approximately equidistant from the Kanon and Erebus catapults. The pickets are engaged and destroyed by mobile suit forces before they can relay their report to Admiral Konde.

• 1500 - First Fleet catches up to Group Alpha near AF1 and re-engages. Enemy ships continue to fight, but withdraw toward JZ Kanon at the first opportunity once damage is sustained. Konde chooses to order First Fleet to remain in place and secure spatial dominance within the sensor shadow afforded by the asteroid field. Combat continues, abating slowly.

• 1600 - Group Alpha has by this time either withdrawn to JZ Kanon or been destroyed. First Fleet has established itself along the starward edge of the asteroid field and begun temporary repairs. The ZOCU forces and unknown energy signature remain undetected as Konde temporarily abandons his pursuit of the enemy and focuses on reordering his formation.

• 1607 - A massive energy signature is detected midway between JZ Kanon and JZ Erebus.

• 1610 - An enormous beam strikes out toward First Fleet from the location of the signature and narrowly misses, instead superheating and detonating many of the asteroids First Fleet has hidden itself behind and sending kiloton-weight asteroid remnants into the midst of Konde's formation. Konde immediately orders the fleet to open fire on the incoming asteroids, but a number of escorts are damaged or lost outright to impacts.

<IXJac> Maybe it's time to find Uncle before your various misdeeds here catch up with you. Mari is totally unimpressed with Chinese Heaven. Next stop, Valhalla!

[00:41:46] <IXJac> You realize you're never going to go anywhere near the Egyptian afterlife, right Norse? I mean, what a nightmare to run. I'd just sit back and say, "OK, write as much as you want for the next four hours. Then I'll come back and give you some XP."

<Beta-chan> This is the day half the chantry couldn't figure out any of the puzzles and therefore decided to crash through the door with a Soviet armoured train

<Ezekiel> Well, unlike MJ's simple monotasking processor, us humans can actually converse about multiple things at a time
<MJ12> Shut the fuck up Ezekiel I will have you know that I have a quad-core processor and can think about four things at a time D:<

[11:39:26] <Koffee_away> MJ12 speech reminds me of this
[11:39:27] <Koffee_away> "Who cares about Derek Zoolander anyway? The man has only one look, for Christ's sake! Blue Steel? Ferrari? Le Tigra? They're the same face! Doesn't anybody notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! I invented the piano key necktie, I invented it! What have you done, Derek? You've done nothing! NOTHIIIING! And I will be a monkey's uncle if I let you ruin this for me, because if you can't get the job done, then I will! "

<IXJac> To the VA there's only one explanation for this inconsistency - Drug Addled Peyote Binge

>Investigating a chaos cult in an underhive. While searching, you find a man larger than the biggest space marine laying there with what looks to be a pike-mounted lasweapon that's way too big to carry laying next to him.

"That's right, children of the Inquisition, who rescued me from that dank, inescapable pit. Listen to me.
Forget what the liars and charlatans in the Ecclesiarchy have told you.
Forget what your indoctrination in the Imperial Guard has told you.
Forget everything your rotten Inquisitor and his rotten Inquisitor Lords have told you.
Gather 'round, and I shall tell you the truth of the heresy of the traitor Horus, of the Age of Strife, and of the Emperor.

Who is also huge."

[13:04:18] <IXJac> Did I ever tell you about the dead baby rule?
[13:04:45] <IXJac> Well, there's a certain amount of acceptable collateral damage based on target. legally.
[13:05:30] <IXJac> So we'd list targets as "He's a 10 baby target." IE, if he were in a school surrounded by ten cooing babies - we'd bomb him.
[13:05:48] <IXJac> We thought it was all very funny
[13:05:54] <IXJac> We were such evil people.
[13:05:57] <Shrike> that's so awesomely immoral
[13:05:58] <IXJac> >:D
[13:06:06] <Shrike> gold star
[13:07:03] <IXJac> Of course in PRACTICE we were never allowed to exercise our legal limits. Politicians have no sense of the rules of war. :P

<Kerrus> The biggest thing I have with SD's is the lack of mechancially being able to accrue resources or other shiny stuff, and that 'status quo is god' mentality, however realistic the latter is
<Kerrus> The status quo is god thing typically manifests as 'all the big nations and small nations are at peace, there was a big war but the PCs just missed it, any attempt at stirring up trouble is met with the iron fist of big NPC #1, players can't change anything,any technological development fails, players can't challenge the big NPCs, and Zeronet quits DMing the moment any of the players try to challenge that.

<Shrike> Haraway is a villain in the same way Iran is
<Shrike> It's got some grievances but is also a raging douche

<FBH_> has anyone else read Seeds of Earth?
<FBH_> It's interesting so far but I can't help noticing that 1: there's like one female character and 2: all the AIs are evil so far save one
<Koffee_> hey FBH
<Koffee_> can I point out something
<Koffee_> I just noticed in your Mirland game there has been two males show up
<Koffee_> and one of them is a evil noble
<Koffee_> and the other is a demon

<FBH_> So that's why for instance it seems like every video game set in the modern day or near future now is set in one single giant shared universe
