As the top echelon gather together on board the Slicer, a tiny chrome
spider scuttles out to the top of the conference table from underneath.
Deftly avoiding a half dozen crashing fists, shoesoles and rolled up N.Y.
Times, it zips to an empty spot, stops for a moment, and then projects
a disembodied human head floating slightly above it. Zapper, being busy
elsewhere, attends by holo-proxy.

Oh, good. *sits in a chair and stares, amused, at the woodlouse*

It dawns on them that there are implications to the appearance of
this little chrome bug.. There was no temporal singularity, no ship, no
teleport. The question was put to yonder floating head (which oddly enough
resembled the features of a typical 40-something academic field anthropologist...)
who confirmed their suspicions. The implication: ALL the ships of this
alliance are infested with little chrome spider-helpers, hiding in odd
nooks and crannies ready to assist in emergency battlefield damage control..

*Cyborg Stan fidgets a bit, and checks his internal clocks. The
hour is almost up.... and a critical player is still missing. It would
be nearly impossible to pull this off without him..... suddenly, he gets
an idea. Dropping the shields for a moment, he pulls out a tape recorder
from nowhere in particular. Pressing a button, an purring sound is heard.....
most like that of a small, furry, and limbless animal. Suddenly, a shimmering
effect appears, outlined by a vaguely humanoid shape. It tries to let out
a snarl when Cyborg unceremonisally conks it on the head. Letting out a
breath of relief, he drags TDK into the conference room.*

... He simply steps into the conferance room, not commenting on
how he arrived. Slung under one arm is a rather unusal looking palmtop
computer. His clothing is still the black military uniform. He picks the
first unused chair he sees, and sits down, looking over the group, still
wanting to know what in the world he's risking the revalation of the Lurker
Council to accomplish. Holding the little palm top in one hand, he seems
to be controling the movements of the _Atypical Malfunction_ as it jockies
into its spot... I do beleive someone called?

*Cyborg Stan walks into the conference room, taking care to duct
tape TDK into an avaivible chair.* Okay, you are no doubt wondering why
I called this meeting. Well to be honest, I need your help. *A holoprojector
in the middle of the table shows a large, reddish blur. However, it soon
becomes clear that it is, in fact, made up of many tiny specks. The projector
quickly zooms in on one of the specks, showing that each one of the specks,
is in fact a starship. Cyborg Stan continues.* As you see, the fleet is
enormously large and well-armed. We would have little chance to stop it
individually, even with our combined forces it would be dangerous. *The
ship changes into a few others, showing some fighters, some more variants,
and...* captain Woodlouse : Stop! Go back three ships... one more... *The
ship now displayed now looks like one of his vessels. Everyone looks at
Captain Woodlouse funny.* Cyborg Stan : This one of yours? Captain Woodlouse
: No, it isn't. *He gestures with his legs.* You see, their engines are
bigger and slightly more numerous than ours, their weapons are slightly
different, and their markings are way off. This is a House Xanarious ship.
Cyborg Stan : From what information we could gather about their ships,
they stand toe-to-toe with you on firepower, but easily has you beat in
the speed department. Captain Woodlouse : Yeah, but we are not fighting
against their ships, but their captains. *Captain Woodlouse puts on a nasty
grin.* I'm willing to bet a bucket of KFC none of them has seen any REAL
combat, just used to harassing helpless Panchick traders. Cyborg Stan :
Very well then. Their main goal is to destroy Earth, in a Base Delta Zero
operation. Our best bet to stop them far from Earth, where Earth is far
out of their weapons ranges. To do this, we will need Savannah's interdictor
right about... here. *Cyborg Stan points to a point just beyond Neptune
orbit.* Because she is the critical for this operation, she will be escorted
by escorted by both the _Halbred_ and the _Slicer_, as well as the _Insuffiently
Reluctant_. The _Blue Pea_ and various House Woodlouse ships draw the enemy
into the decoy fleet. *Shot of some green icons running in, touching the
red cloud, and quickly retreating into a bunch of white icons, near Neptune.*
At this point, our main fleet will swing out from behind the fake-decoys...
*Shot of a wireframe Mickey Mouse and other assorted Disney(tm) characters.*
Well, YOU come up with a better fake-decoy! Jadesfire's, Woodlouse's, and
my fleets will then start their assualt on the fleet. *View shifts to Earth*
Due to their immense fleet, a few might slip through. Zapper has activated
the long-dorment laser and railgun defense satellites, and Q'res's remaining
Cyclon fighters are also to provide defense. In addition, we have a suprise
planned. *View shifts to New York. HVIC Cannons are popping out like mushrooms.*
My nanobots have constructed numerous HVIC cannons in the New York area.
There, they should have no problem aquiring ammo. *View of a fatty tumbling
into the ammo loading bay.* To make our job easier, we should also assualt
the Emperor directly. TDK, as undead, you have certain immunities to his
psychic abilities. (Besides, you're also very gullible.) That is all. Get
to your fighters, and may the force be with you.
