Log: Malcolm;
A shooting star came out of the sky and landed near us today. I've sent a small scout force to check up on what is there. I can't expect them to get through unharmed, but the infantry are rather skilled, and the 50 raptors will be able to escape if something bad does happen.

I have received 10 flamethrowers and masks from facade recently and my men have shown that they are incredibly efficient at destroying Flood. He has also invited me and a few of my men to his base and discuss important matters.

to facade:
********************************************************************************
I accept your invitation and I am currently on my way, I should arrive within 3 days with a pair of my best golden armored elites. Also thank you for the flamethrowers and masks(heavily modified to suit my men), they are incredibly useful and will serve well if the time comes when we must go to battle.

EVENT: HFE
You send your scouts out immediately, into the night. Unfortunatley your team splits into two and you lose half of the squad. The other half come across the meteorite, and by the light of their torches notice that in places it is crumbling in places, enough to take pieces off by hand. You take off a piece and find the core is composed of a metal unfamiliar to you. scans of the core show that it is much different to expectations, and seems to have an interesting shape. After careful analysis, you conclude that there must be a vehicle of sorts inside this metoerite, though how it got there is anyone's guess. After your team strips off some of the rock, they find what appears to be a door with a strange writing upon it. Next to this door is a keypad, with different symbols as buttons. You decide there are two options:

Either you send a small group back to base to retrieve a research team to decipher the language, taking time and risking attack, or you just press any of the keys and see what happens, risking who knows what.

What do you do?

[Enigma]

Day 125 (continued)

So, this means I have 25 raptors and 50 Spec. Ops, right?

The raptors will leave to pick up the research team (they can operate the raptors, probably because they designed them) while the Spec Ops find any cover they can, and hide behind it.

[commandergoldeneye]

your raptors leave the temporary camp and return to the base. Meanwhile, your spec. ops take position around the meteorite/space vehicle.

At around midday your spec. ops begin to hear noises, they sound to be someone talking. After a few minutes, the sillouettes of a small group of... things appear in the distance. After a small look aroound you think you can easily sneak round them and take them out before they reach you, but you wonder if they know something that you don't.

It is too late to call back your raptors, and mcu too late to call for reinforcements from the base. What do you do?

ANNOUNCEMENT: THE FRANCHISE WARS MAP.
As interest has been shown in producing a map to use for the planet, and i believe that this would be a nice idea. If anyone would like to draw up a map, PM me a drawing of the map and/or a link to see the map which I can use to post on this thread when all entries are in. When this happens, I will open up a poll where each player can vote for the map that they think looks the best. If descriptions of each HQ are required, then the map-drawer may PM the other contestants asking them for details on positioning. The maps do not have to show detailed plans of the HQs/bases, and must be inventive to a point (e.g. include more areas than the given ones).

Log:-Prime
The first of our Space-faring Autobots has arrived. These are the most unique members of our army: those with the ability to travel the distances between the stars, and the sheer size to bring a large group of their fellow Autobots with them. These brave few are the sole reason our great war on Earth was won. These Autobots are large by even our standards. A prime example of these shuttle-bots is Sky Lynx, though he is atypical in that his robot form is lizard-like, his size is representative: url]http://www.unicron.us/tf1986/figures/skylynx.htm[/url] Averaging around 300 feet long in vehicle mode, these giants wield great physical strength and carry formidable cannons in robot mode and oftentimes in vehicle mode as well. We will need to wait for the spaceport to be constructed in order to launch a fully-loaded Shuttle-bot into space with enough equipment to establish colonies off-world. They will be strong enough to make atmospheric runs on their own power.

With securing the airways becoming a primary concern, I am sending for the Aerialbot commander Silverbolt. In addition to his leadership capabilities and expertise in aerial strategy, he is the central component of Superion, the Aerialbot combiner. When Silverbolt and the four other Aerialbots combine they form a 100 foot tall robot with incredible strength and resistance to damage.

To Malcolm
**************************************************************
It is good to hear from you again. A meteorite has landed in your area, it is strange that our sensors did not pick it up. If it survived the landing, it could be a very useful find. My first heavy transport Autobot has arrived, and can aid you in bringing it to your base. I will have him, an escort of Aerialbots, and two safety analysts on standby (if it is made of a hazardous material I cannot risk the transport). They are ready to fly out on your signal.
Till all are One,
Optimus Prime

We now have dark templars sent from Aiur. we can now face the zerg and control the Overmind in a few weeks. I shall over look the operation myself, even though our troops dont need much moral help.

I saw a falling object from a scouting report. I dont know what it was, but I must find what it is. If its more zerg, where all in trouble more than ever. I should sent a search team there, but I guess I should not, and just ask around...

((I could make a map. I will try... hope I can.))

Log:-Facade
I am glad to hear that the Arbiter has accepted my invitation....But something else attracts my attention.
Just the other day I could've sworn a rumbling sound tore across our atmosphere....It's been causing some malfunctions in our Comm-links. I have finally decided to elect my Right-Hand man. His name is Delta 0-29, or as his comrads know him...Blitz. He has shown amazing skill and warfare, and for that he shall take the first ride in the Venator with 100 Troopers at his disposal. There will be 40 Clone Troopers, 20 Tech Specialists, 10 Gunners, 2 Commanders, 6 Sergeants, and 2 Dark Troopers, 10 Ground Shock Troopers, and 10 Regular Delta Troopers. His orders are to go and inspect the farther lands to see what is going on. I have ordered him to make a 30 Min Pit stop at the Arbiter's Base to ask if he wishes to send a few Men to join us in the scourge. The Venator will also be escorted by 3 GST on Banshees.
On happier matters, I have agreed to work with Optimus Prime on the TargetMaster Technology.
Wargear for the Hunters are in process. May the Force be with Us...


To the Arbiter:
**************************************************************************
Good, good. We shall enjoy a nice meal...talk about a few things and discuss everything on my mind.
Our meeting is in just a few hours.

(Tyranidwarrior, I shall post a separate post asking a few question/concerns and you'll answer, then you ask, and so on and so forth).

End,
Facade
**************************************************************************

To Optimus Prime:
**************************************************************************
Alright, my men have begun work on Blueprints and prototypes, but I suggest some of your Tech-related men come and assist us.
I shall have them show you the Cloning tanks & Process.

By the way...Have you heard something a few days ago?.....Like a comet...or a disturbance......I've already sent my men to see what's going on.

End,
Facade

Facade,
End of Transmission.


*Umm, I suppose I'll give a more detailed and exuisite shot at a real map, but should it be a Worldwide Map....? Or only of the known Boundries/Races???*

(For TyranidWarrior)

Meeting at Building of the City, Rheldan.
Time: Past Mid-day
Guests Present: Facade, Arbiter, Commissar Stern, Delta Elite Blitz, Arbiter's Personal Gold Elites
**************************************************************************
Ah, good evening my friend. We have quite a bit to speak of. But First, we shall eat.
-Tableful of delicacies from 3 continents-
After the Meal:

Tell Me Arbiter, what makes these two of your Men stand out from the rest?

Also, what of your friend the Master Chief? What is your relation to him?

In a few hours my Soldier here, Blitz will be taking 100 men and the Venator to inspect the odd rumbling noises the other day...I suspect an uninvited visitor from space....Maybe a Comet.
Blitz here will be making a stop at your base to see if any of your men would like to come along....Is that in your insterest?

(Now your turn Tyranidwarrior, copy this little outline of the message and type in your responses and questions of your own)

******************************************************************************
The two elites who are escorting me today are veterans of war from the human-covenant wars and also later fought alongside the master chief and me against the covenant after it was discovered that the prophets had betrayed us.

The master chief is the only remaining super human from the SPARTAN project. He wears a incredibly resistant army that also uses a energy shield similar to the ones used by us. He is capable of using amy vehicle or weapon supplied to him but prefers energy swords and assault rifles.

I already have sent out a group of 50 elites and 2 hunters who will meet Blitz and the rest of your men at near my base to discover what has "landed" on the planet.

Now then, do you have anything else which we can discuss?

How odd, my team hasn't arrived at your headquarters yet? I sent them about twenty five days ago. I would hate to see the indigenous life-form that could drop nine Autobots and twenty micromasters.
We did not detect any disturbances, but I was alerted to a meteor impact by Malcolm. I have offered my transport services to him already. Be careful on your approach, unidentified objects from space can be quite dangerous, and his men may be on edge.

[Enigma]

Day 126 (continued)

The Spec. Ops should stay where they are, possibly finding cover, and negotiate with them.

If they shoot, we shoot.

[commandergoldeneye]

Your Spec. Ops stay in cover, waiting for the unidentified units to come closer. Eventually they move out of the sun and you see that they are the men you lost when you first left. They are in pretty bad shape, and tell tales of a colony of a race of people nearby wo do not take kindly to people moving in to their territory. The men you have got back are in no condition to fight, and the colony outnumber you easily, so a forward assault is suicide, and completely out of the question. You could call for reinforcements in case they appear and attack, or alternatively you can wait for the remaining four days for your researchers to return and decipher the language on the space vehicle, and hope the unfriendly race of beings don't attack in the meantime.

What do you do?
