Ib & Ob: A New Hope


Ob: ...do you remember that asteroid that flew through this system sixty rotations ago?

Ib: You mean one with the weird organic red coating that you said was nothing to worry about.

Ob: Well I am using the gravity drive to apply a gravity assisted course change.

Ib: Why exactly are you changing an asteroid's course?

Ob: Technically it is not an asteroid as such, more sort of a Seeder Ship.

Ib: Hence the organic coating although the Colony Commission has not used that technology in hundreds of cycles.  Your telling me you working for Colony Commission?

Ob: Not completely, only indirectly.

Ib: Hold on a panug, if you are here to change its course why did you say that we are here to investigate the third planet?

Ob: We are here to investigate the planet just for not all the reasons I stated.

Ib: Where exactly is this Seeder Ship going?

Ob: Now that I have made the course change, it should hit the fourth planet in this system in just under two cycles.

Ib: Correct if I am wrong here but Colony Commission rules states if life exists in a system then you cannot deploy a Seeder Ship.

Ob: That is completely true but have you noticed when was the last time the Colony Commission seeded a new planet?

Ib: Admittedly not for a few cycles, the galaxy is not as big as it used to be.

Ob: The last new planet seeded by the Commission was eighty one cycles ago, their rules are out of date.  We in the science club have decided...

Ib: By the Moons of Gugt your Rebels! I should have guessed considering the name of the club: The Enlightened Ones.

Ob: There are more of us than you think!

Ib: Really! So what did you do pick up an old out of date Seeder Ship add a quick spray paint job and launch it. Hold on, organic sprays were made illegal over two hundred cycles ago.

Ob: Only because they were too slow, however we in Science club have improved the Ship by adding two Bio Emitters which will speed up the flow of organics considerably.

Ib:  As I recall the last time two Bio Emitters were used together a Chaos Wave appeared and destroyed half the planet. Hence the big warning signs on them, your not even allowed to transport them together.

Ob: We have fixed that issue, besides it all really depends what we will find on this planet.

Ib: What you are saying  is if we cannot verify intelligent life on the third planet your going to deploy what is effectively a weapon of mass destruction on the fourth planet.

Ob: Yes, the Science club gave me the deciding vote.

Ib: You mean they gave you all the responsibility and gave themselves the ability to denied everything should anything go wrong.

Ob: I am sure it will be fine.

Ib: Is the escape pod on this ship equipped with a H-Jump system?

Ob: Why do you ask?

Shocking Lack of Rebels...


The locals think that because of the recent High Court ruling regarding the Prime Minister's ability to trigger Article 50 without parliamentary approval, Federation Guard shock troops have been sent in to quell rebels in the south east of England.

Aside from a few dogs the rebels have avoided capture.
