@MTakach
As kind as the offer is, I can't let the scientist away from the Deutschland or Dark Bastion. Besides, he needs access to the Deutschland's jump drive.
@MTakach
Thank you for the offer, but Dark Bastion was still mostly intact after the battle. It was a massive R&D facility according to some records, of course it's all outdated by todays standards but that can and has changed.
@MTakach
Ah, just keep them small for story purposes, no bigger than the Deutschland, it wouldn't make sense for you to suddenly have the tech to build very big.
@MTakach
One of my previous posts a while back Typhoon and I had decided to use some Trident fighters to find solarium because it's not found on Earth.
@Jim1the1Squid
@TheFantasticTyphoon
Yes, to keep from having a major problem with the rest of the community, we need to stick to Earth-based story lines as much as possible with it still making sense. So let's limit our space activity.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
Not long, they can do it tomorrow. For now I'll send an engineer up with a temporary backup power source so we don't have to worry about issues on their return.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
Thank you.
I would make an order to make more replacement parts, but the Deutschland's on board refinery is still being repaired. Let them make another run to Alpha Centauri, then they can return planet side.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
@MTakach
Most of the repairs are done on the Deutschland, She could most certainly win a slugging match if needed. She is just as big if not a little bigger, being over a kilometer in length.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
Sorry, you never stated a name so I just came up with one, I'll make the edit.
However, I think to avoid a situation like this again, I will occupy this fort and it will give my crew a more comfortable place to stay.
@Jim1the1Squid
@MTakach
@TheFantasticTyphoon
I was thinking, the Deutschland can shell the place from her dry dock and her railguns could do massive amounts of damage to the forts defenses with high-pen ammunition. Yet I don't want to completely destroy the fortress. So, we can bombard the fort, then send in a ground force to invade.

Yes, the ones you told me about are in space, I didn't know you were making more.

@MTakach
Solarium is the substance that we have been looking for to repair the Deutschland's main reactor and the trans-dimensional jump drive.

@TheFantasticTyphoon
Of course.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
+1Yes, we have a shuttle that was spared from the hangar explosion.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
It's not an issue of actual manufacturing, its a problem of making the alloys and durasteel.
@TheFantasticTyphoon

@TheFantasticTyphoon
Name it something else please. The Rift story line is for the Deutschland's crew.
yes that gives me a topic for my next chapter.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
We have been to all neighboring star systems and have found nothing. We need to rethink our strategy.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
Go ahead, just let me know if you need any progress reports.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
+1I'm not sure, it will either be latter today or sometime tomorrow. I'm working on my book right now so probably tomorrow.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
You may.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
Due to the nature of our main reactor's power source, we happen to have plenty of rad medication to spare.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
The crew of the Deutschland will help in any way we can.
@MTakach
@TheFantasticTyphoon
Yes, well, the Deutschland will head back to port, I think it would be best to hold a memorial for those who fell today.
@MTakach
Exactly
@MTakach
Well... that is a shame.
@MTakach
@TheFantasticTyphoon
The Deutschland took no notable damage. How about your forces?
It's like fireworks.
Our AA can deal with the fighters.
@MTakach
@TheFantasticTyphoon
She's sitting very low in the water now.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
We have caused major hull damage to the Exterminator. Looks like our guns punched a hole straight through her.
Screw it! All batteries open fire! Sink that carrier!
@TheFantasticTyphoon
Are we capturing or sinking?
@TheFantasticTyphoon
Will do. The sooner we find this ship, the better.
and lined with the most advanced anti ship weaponry.

@TheFantasticTyphoon
I'll let you handle this, my forces need time to recover after the battle.

@TheFantasticTyphoon
+1I'll have a report by tomorrow then.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
Yes because I have to do something for a bit so I'll be back shortly.
I forgot to mention my time so in about 30 min.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
I made another post for this.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
@MTakach
@Jim1the1Squid
Bombardment will begin at 1400 hours (2:00 p.m.).
@TheFantasticTyphoon
I will deal with the AA first so the ground force can have CAS support.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
Sending in any air forces is suicide with the amount of AA positions on the fortress.

@Jim1the1Squid
You would need anti-concrete weapons to do any damage.
@MTakach
About 45 miles east of Maywar, then we flew south for about 30 minutes at cruising speed.
@MTakach
We lost the drone before it could send its coordinates. We could use another drone to retrace its steps and get a better view of this fort.
Officially, This fortress and the island it's on never existed.
