Plans for Investigation into the E-Strain (for Ryuk, Unity Prime and Viggo the Kasanthian)

"I am asking Prime to command this mission from his own base. Leftenant Viggo I would like you to take point on all things artificial or artificed. That will mean you will join with Leftenant Ryuk in the field. See if you can find any trace of the Angels of Desolation, see if you can recover any Grey tech. We the TRILAT are counting on you."

Admiral Lyr,

I thought you would never ask. It will be my pleasure to work with your people on this endeavor. The trouble is that they make my technology seem like it came from the stone age. Further, their armor is a thing to behold, and their ability to knock out the technology of other races is exemplary. They seem to lack, though, an understanding of Leyas. We can use this, and the joy of Void Weaponry, to set traps for the Grey at the other planets. The one advantage we have in this exchange is that we know exactly where the Grey will appear, which is the only thing which gives us a chance in this fight.

Prime

Greetings Unity Prime,

Although I have heard of you through my unity connection, I believe this is the first time we will be working together. I feel I must inform you that my skill rely primarily on Fire and Shadow Leyas. I am also familiar with Earth Leyas , and I am able to artifice objects. My other primary skill is the ability to cause chaos where ever I need to.

As you seem to have far more experience in dealing with the grey, I will defer to you in this endeavor .


LT. Ryuk

Leftenant Ryuk,

I've had the opportunity to look over some of your work, and you will be essential in the coming exchange. If you still have those Leyas generators, you can act as our trump card. If you noticed from the feed, the Grey ships form a cluster around the planet before beginning their extinction level protocols. If you can prepare something nasty for them which could disable a few ships, well, that would be lovely.

If you remember one particular battle where you used your leyas generators to great effect, I would like a repeat of that particular tactic, we can discuss this more as we get more information.

Further, they do not seem to have much in the way of shielding from a Nightmare Lord's attacks, if my past data is any good. Do you have any such ships?

For right now, though, we need to find the other Fleetmoons. The best way to do that is to capture the communicator beacon. For now, lets focus on that.

Prime.

Prime,

I have been cooking up a few toys, one of which may be of use, if you want to show some diplomacy.

I hear one of the old earther traditions is the planting of a tree, as a sign of peace. To this end, I have attached a leyas generator to basically a potted tree, it is artificed to support its growth and well being indefinitely. It is also artificed to rapidly grow beyond its normal size in a few seconds, if I decide to activate its secondary abilities. I have been toying with this idea to try and make it consume a planet, but unfortunately my skill with earth is not as proficient as I would like them to be, and I have been able to get large trees, although not big enough to destroy a planet. I think , if you can get these on board the grey's ships using some trick, most of the ships will be disabled and we would be able to prevent a large battle from taking place.

After the deed is done, we might be able to salvage some of the ships, even though they would have some damage.

They key, would be , getting the plants on the grey's ships, and I'm not one to talk my way anywhere , I would just kill the grey.

I was planning on having longer to work on these, to give to my enemies at the end of the war, but it seems like it would be more useful to use during this encounter.

I will also think on what I can do , and instruct one of my subordinates to count how many leyas generators I have left, I had them put somewhere in my casino. . .

Anyways, let me know what you think.

LT. Ryuk

LT. Ryuk,

We have given your proposal some thought. At this stage, you are welcome to keep developing the trees. Our past experiences with the Grey suggest that they will not deign to make conversation, let alone accept gifts.

While it is a bit off topic, I strongly suggest you attempt to trade with the Olifera for this technology. They might be quite interested in your ability to improve their growth.

Prime
