Ama i Dierapyámuk Invasion!

Welcome to Dierapyámuk Invasion!

Now that the random Zukish is out of the way, there are a couple of things to know. First, the DPI universe is slightly different than the DPM universe that was seen in my previous CJs, such as DPI Myon being about 15 years ahead of DPM Myon in technology. Second, there is really nothing else to know. Now that that is over with, lets get to the main characters. But before that, the table of contents:

ToC:

Episode 1: The Unknown: page 1

Episode 2: The Unknown, part 2: page 1

Episode 3: Near and Far: page 1

Coastal Galesfe: page 1 (non-story)

Episode 4: Free at Last: page 2

CHARACTERS:

Brian_full.png

Name: Brian Meiring

    Episode 1: The Unknown

    Thurs. May 20th, 0150AL (2006)

    DPI-1-1.jpg

    Unknown starship, somewhere in space

    Brad looked around at his surroundings. He appeared to be on a starship of some sort, and judging by the wide open and well lit hallways, it was most likely a Muphridish ship. However, that didn't give him any information as to why he was here, or where on the ship he was at.

    Brad.pngBrad: Where's Brian at?

    Brad paused for a moment, and then took off down a hallway, almost as if he knew where he was going. After a short distance, he reached a computer terminal on the wall. He activated it, and a hologram with a bunch of angular letters appeared. This was definitely a Muphridish ship, he thought, then placed his hand down on the body of the terminal. Somehow, after a short pause the writing changed to Zukish, and then disappeared entirely, to be replaced with a map of the ship.

    He zoomed in on the rear of the ship, and soon found a room with two lifesigns in it, with several others scattered around it. After finding himself on the map, he lifted his hand off of the console, and it reverted to its original state, and then turned off. How did I do that? He wondered. Then before doing anything else, he took off down the hallway again, following a route he had determined from looking at the map.

    DPI-1-2.jpg

    Down the hallway, a quick turn to the left, then the right and up a flight of stairs, and another right. Brad suddenly stopped, and turned around and headed the other way past the stairwell he had just exited for seemingly no reason at all. Two more lefts later, followed by a short run down a hall, he soon slowed to a stop outside of an open door.

    This is weird, he thought to himself, there's no one around, and how do I somehow know just what to do?

    He then entered the room beyond the door, only to face another door, this one closed. He grabbed another control panel on the side of the door, and after a second, that somehow caused the door to open.

    The environment on the other side of the door was nothing like the rest of the ship that he had seen. Instead of being empty and quiet, it was quite cluttered, with various pieces of equipment filling most of the available space. In addition to this, there was a Muphridian with short brown hair, and wearing a short dark blue dress, standing among the equipment, simply standing there like nothing was wrong. She was looking at the other side of the room, where Brian was just visible behind one of the other devices. Brian appeared to be wearing some sort of light tannish shirt with green markings on the shoulders, and some sort of plaid tank top over the shirt, but due to the equipment, anything lower than his chest wasn't visible.

    After a couple seconds of just the humming of the equipment, the Muphridian began to speak.

    Valira.png ???: So, what brings you here... I do believe I don't know your name. And just what are you wearing?

    Brian.pngBrian: Do you really need to know, Valira?

    Valira.png Valira: Please, can't you just calm down? I'm only trying to help.

    Brian.pngBrian: Help!? How is what you are doing supposed to help?

    Valira opened her mouth to respond, but then suddenly turned to face a seemingly empty part of the room as an odd rustling sound was heard.  

    Everyone stared at the location for a couple of seconds, and then Valira and Brian turned back to each other. She then raised an arm into the air and opened her mouth to reply again.

    Suddenly, a large green fireball erupted in the middle of the room.

    Brad.pngBrad: Brian!

    Something hard hit Brad in the front, forcing him away from the fireball, and then everything went black.

    ByBhousetwi.jpg

    Brad suddenly sat up and looked around. There was no equipment scattered about, but there were a couple random articles of clothing lying in a corner of the room. Brian was asleep on another bed, his snores the only sound in the room, and the Muphridian, Valira, was nowhere to be seen.

    Brad took several deep breaths to relax.

    Brad.pngBrad: That's the fifth time I've had that dream this month... what is going on?

    I am excited to see Lauren , B&B and the rest return in a new CJ. I look forward to their adventures.

    EDIT: Those dreams sound like trouble on the horizon.

    Hmm, I remember such a dream from DPM 1, though the ship looked different. Can't wait to see the rest of the story.

    Myon is back! Oh, i mean, Stargate: Invasion is back! Er, here!

    Good start off to an amazing city journal, and that ship is a behemoth! Just in one close up image i must have seen well over 10 to 15 gun turrets. 3.gif Valira is well protected. And i know i promised my first reply would be a mega-reply, but...i lied. 9.gif The next one will be.

    Yay! More Sci-Fi! And this time I'm here from the start.

    "What is going on?" A good question indeed. Only time will tell.


    To search for the ideal city today is useless. For all cities are different. Each one has its own spirit, its own problems, and its own pattern of life. As long as the city lives, these aspects continue to change. Thus to look for the ideal city is not only a waste of time but may be seriously detrimental. In fact, the concept is obsolete; there is no such thing.

    That ship reminds me of the Destiny (SGU).

    Brad should probably see someone about this reoccurring "dream." Seems a bit suspicious to me as well.

    Episode 2: The Unknown, part 2

    Thurs. May 20th, 0150AL (2006)

    ByBhousetwi.jpg

    Brad.pngBrad: That's the fifth time I've had that dream this month... what is going on?

    Before he could think about the dream any more, the alarm went off, bringing an abrupt end to Brian's snoring. After a couple of seconds, when it became apparent that Brad wasn't going to turn it off, Brian groaned, then swatted at the alarm, missing twice before managing to make it stop.

    Brian rubbed his eyes, then stretched and yawned, then turned to look at Brad, who still hadn't moved.

    Brian.pngBrian: You had that dream again, didn't you?

    Brad.pngBrad: Yes...

    Brian.pngBrian: What do you think it means?

    Brad.pngBrad: I don't know... what I don't understand is that it each time I have the dream, it seems to be different.

    Brian.pngBrian: What do you mean? You never mentioned that before.

    Brad.pngBrad: It's not really different, it just seems like minor details change around. I take a different path, or you say something different, stuff like that.

    Brian.pngBrian: Oh. Don't you think you should tell someone else about it?

    Brad.pngBrad: Probably... it was just a weird dream the first time, but for it to come back 4 more times, something pretty much has to be up.

    Voice: Brad! Brian! Hurry up!

    Brad and Brian each got up and left their room, and walked down the hall to the kitchen to find that Nick and Nikki were already eating their pancakes, though Nikki still seemed to be half asleep, and both, like Brad and Brian, still in their pajamas. Brad and Brian grabbed their own plates, and sat down.

    Brian.pngBrian: After breakfast?

    Brad.pngBrad: Yes.

    After the two had finished eating, they walked over to a woman who was currently cooking some more pancakes.

    Brad.pngBrad: Mom?

    Rachel.png Rachel: Yes?

    Brad.pngBrad: I had an odd dream last night.

    Rachel.png Rachel: Odd? In what way?

    Brad.pngBrad: I was on some sort of Muphridish ship, then I did... something to a computer terminal to make a map show up, and after that I ran down to another room in the ship, where Brian and this Muphridian named Valira were at. After that, a fireball appeared in the middle of the room, and then I woke up. Also, it’s the 5th time it's come up, too.

    Rachel.png Rachel: Interesting. Is there anything else, or was that pretty much it?

    Brad.pngBrad: That was the main parts of it.

    Rachel took the pancakes off of the griddle and then transferred them over to a place, which she then handed to Michael, who had just entered the room fully dressed.

    Rachel.png Rachel: Do you think it might mean something?

    Brad.pngBrad: Possibly, that's what I wanted to talk about.

    Rachel.png Rachel: I don't know anything about getting meanings out of dreams, though I could find someone who does. I'll let you know after school. But for now, you really need to get ready, or you'll be late.

    Brian.pngBrian: Yes, mom.

    Galesfe City

    Leech: Well, now that I'm playing SC4 again, it would be good to show some pictures.

    Nikki.png Nikki: So we're going to do the commenting!

    Nick.png Nick: Ugh...

    Leech: I'll be leaving now.

    Nikki.png Nikki: No.

    *Nikki grabs Leech and pulls him down onto a couch*

    Nikki.png Nikki: And stay there or I'll get the water.

    Leech: Do I have to?

    Nikki.png Nikki: Yes.

    Nick.png Nick: And I don't want to be alone.

    Nikki.png Nikki: Huh?

    Leech: Oh, all right.

    DPI-2-1.jpg

    Nick.png Nick: Now, where are we?

    Leech: Mt. Jamig.

    Nikki.png Nikki: I can see that... This here's a basic campground on Mt. Jamig, for when you just want to get away from the city without 

    actually getting away from the city.

    DPI-2-2.jpg

    Nick.png Nick: The Syomï Minazí Êd Myon, or in English, the Myonian National Stadium, and its the where the Myonian national soccer team 

    plays.

    DPI-2-3.jpg

    Leech: Various hillside developments. It was tricky tearing up the old highway and putting in the new RHW there... Replacing the 

    trees was easier.

    Nick.png Nick: What? Replacing trees? Tearing up the highway?

    Nikki.png Nikki: What are you talking about? It's always been like that.

    DPI-2-4.jpg

    Nick.png Nick: Same as above, but at night.

    DPI-2-5.jpg

    Leech: The big farming tower, and several smaller ones.

    Nick.png Nick: And a lot of skyscrapers.

    Nikki.png Nikki: And shops!

    DPI-2-6.jpg

    Nick.png Nick: And more towers, and a park.

    Nikki.png Nikki: More of the highway, as well.

    Leech: It's M-11, by the way. At least the part of M-11 that goes though the city.

    Comparison episodes:

    Galesfe City Episode 10

    Galesfe City Episode 27

    Comments:

    Schulmanator: Indeed...

    Zelgadis: Who's shooting at who?

    Korot: DPM 1? Do you mean Galesfe City/Dierapyámuk-Myon, or DPM 2? Probably the latter, as Galsfe City ended before you joined ST, but I can't remember any other incident like this in either right now...

    simcity4fan12: Yes, that is sketchup, with background from Celestia.

    Archean: There's 460 of the secondary guns on the entire ship. (each with 3 guns on the turret) 116 main guns. (the towers)

    Archean2: Huh? This isn't a mega reply...

    astronelson: It's much better when you can actully watch from the beginning.

    Archean3: Ah, there it is... and I've already replied to this one.

    crushedcar: Might be because it is somewhat based off of the Destiny...

    jacqulina: Thanks for the comment!

    Leech10: Um... hi.

    Benedict: Yes... expecially when random things start happening...

    Perhaps this dream interpretation may help. It does not include anything about a fireball though.

    Running

    To dream that you are running away from someone suggests that you are attempting to elude a certain situation. You refuse to admit accountability for something you have done. In particular, if you are running from an attacker or any danger, then it implies that you are reluctant to hardships and obstacles.

    To dream that you are trying to run but cannot make your feet move as fast as you want them to indicate that you feel unworthy of praise and appreciation. You feel undeserving of something. It can also indicate that you have reached the phase or REM.

    To dream that you are running alone implies that you will gain prosperity faster than your peers. Perhaps you are trying to evade an issue that you know is unfavourable or negative.

    To dream that you are running with others represents future wealth and rewards.

    Computer

    To see a computer in your dream represents expertise, knowledge, and the progression of today's world. You are being offered new possibilities and options. This dream may also symbolize your desire to break free from conformity and be able to exude your own personality. You tend to follow the group without offering your ideas or suggestions. You are too passive. Perhaps you feel inferior and unimportant in your role.

    To dream that you computer has a mind of its own implies that you fear being unorganized and unable to manage the aspects of your life. You may feel burdened and pressured by others and unable to determine your own actions.

    To dream that a computer has a virus indicates that there is some aspect of your life that you cannot dominate.

    Spaceship

    To see a spaceship in your dream indicates that you are imaginative and artistic. It suggests that you should partake on a mission of inner discovery and comprehension. Change your outlook on a certain issue, even if it seems strange and peculiar.

    Episode 2: The Unknown, part 2quote>

    The second episode of the whole journal and theres already a part 1/part 2 combo. Huh, nice. 9.gif

    Brian.pngBrian: You had that dream again, didn't you?quote>

    Oh! Hello, oh i mean, Ama Brian! Didn't know you lived with Brad till as of right now. 9.gif

    Brian.pngBrian: What do you think it means?quote>

    Perhaps it's a vision into the possible future type deal. Seems to be a lot of those goin round the galaxy lately.

    Brad.pngBrad: It's not really different, it just seems like minor details change around. I take a different path, or you say something different, stuff like that.quote>

    The future could be drastically changed just by deciding to jump out of bed instead of stepping.

    Brad.pngBrad: Mom?quote>

    Mom?

    Rachel.png Rachel: Yes?quote>

    Mom! There's a mom!

    Brad.pngBrad: I was on some sort of Muphridish ship, then I did... something to a computer terminal to make a map show up, and after that I ran down to another room in the ship, where Brian and this Muphridian named Valira were at. After that, a fireball appeared in the middle of the room, and then I woke up. Also, it’s the 5th time it's come up, too.quote>

    I'm guessing someone in that society would understand everything he just said, instead of staring at him asking what  in the world is a "Muphridish".

    Rachel.png Rachel: Interesting. Is there anything else, or was that pretty much it?quote>

    Huh, seems like I was right to guess. The mom isn't making a psychiatric appointment. 3.gif

    Brian.pngBrian: Yes, mom.quote>

    Obey your momma!

    Galesfe Cityquote>

    Ah, so that's where the Meirings are.

    And just to ask, Brad and Brian are childs 1 and 2 of 4? Adding Nikki and Nick? Poor Nikki being all alone with her mom. There's too much Testosterone! D:

    and even though my name means 'old' I'm really quite pimp,
    I'm Archilicious.

    I mean DPM 1. That I wasn't around when you made it doesn't mean that I didn't read it. Last month I was actually looking for DPM 1, found it and read it. I also read Myon City (the one before that, where they found the Zukes) and Zebatikbe, or something like that. And I do remember something with a dream, though it was indeed different than this.

    And now about the actual update: Hmm, nothing much to add here, doesn't really remove much of the confusion. It's only clear that you indeed started right from the beginning, though do you have already found the stargate?

    Archean: Brad and Brian have 1 older brother, Micheal, and the younger sibblings Nikki and Nick. Or at least, thats how much I remember form Galesfe City, or DPM1 as I call it.

    Regards,

    Korot

    Korot: I don't remember anything about a dream in Galesfe City... Are you referring to the Granon Hogankhum incident?

    To clear up some of the confusion (maybe): DPI is an alternate reality, different from DPM, where the stargate was discovered earlier (though Mloret hasn't been met yet), and technology is about 15 years ahead of where it was in 0150AL in DPM. Other events may or may not occur the same as they did in DPM, you'll just have to wait and see. Note that Valira wasn't around in Galesfe City...

    Archean and Korot: There are 7 Meiring siblings: Brian, Brad, Tiffany, Michael, Nikki, Nick, Larissa, arraigned in order from oldest to youngest.

    PS: It's The Planet Myon and Zabitake, Vinawasho for the older ones. Also note that Granon Hogankhum is now spelled Granon Hoganxum. (pronunciation is the same)

    Seven children. My lord well, at least the Meiring name will continue once Brad, Brian, Michael and Nick begin to procreate with a lucky, lucky girl. 3.gif....for each of them of course.


    I'm the 'A' to the 'r', to the c-h-e-a-n,

    Episode 2: The Unknown, part 2quote>

    The second episode of the whole journal and theres already a part 1/part 2 combo. Huh, nice. 9.gifquote>

    DPM 2 opened up with a part 1, 2, and 3. Just a part 1 and 2, here.

    Brian.pngBrian: You had that dream again, didn't you?quote>

    Oh! Hello, oh i mean, Ama Brian! Didn't know you lived with Brad till as of right now. 9.gifquote>

    They lived together in the past 2 CJs, why would this one be any different?

    Brian.pngBrian: What do you think it means?quote>

    Perhaps it's a vision into the possible future type deal. Seems to be a lot of those goin round the galaxy lately.quote>

    Huh? There are?

    Brad.pngBrad: It's not really different, it just seems like minor details change around. I take a different path, or you say something different, stuff like that.quote>

    The future could be drastically changed just by deciding to jump out of bed instead of stepping.quote>

    True... especially if you break your leg doing so.

    Brad.pngBrad: Mom?quote>

    Mom?

    Rachel.png Rachel: Yes?quote>

    Mom! There's a mom!quote>

    Yes, they have a mom.

    Brad.pngBrad: I was on some sort of Muphridish ship, then I did... something to a computer terminal to make a map show up, and after that I ran down to another room in the ship, where Brian and this Muphridian named Valira were at. After that, a fireball appeared in the middle of the room, and then I woke up. Also, it’s the 5th time it's come up, too.quote>

    I'm guessing someone in that society would understand everything he just said, instead of staring at him asking what  in the world is a "Muphridish".quote>

    They did make first contact with the Muphridians over 100 years ago...

    Brian.pngBrian: Yes, mom.quote>

    Obey your momma!quote>

    Indeed.

    Galesfe Cityquote>

    Ah, so that's where the Meirings are.quote>

    Yes, though they live a bit to the west of Mt. Jamig.

    Episode 3: Near and Far

    Sun. May 23rd, 0150AL (2006)

    ByBhouseday.jpg

    Brad closed his copy of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince after marking the page, and then set it aside on the bedside table.

    Brad.pngBrad: So, now what?

    Brian.pngBrian: Apparently we have the ability to use at least one of the Muphridian's abilities, and are the first humans to be able to, at least as far as everyone knows.

    Brad.pngBrad: It would have been nice if they could tell us what abilities we have.

    Brian.pngBrian: Indeed... it would certainly help actually learning how to use them. All we know is that you have some form of precognitive ability, though that's the one ability that's pretty much impossible to control.

    Brad.pngBrad: Plus I don't have any idea how we could get on a Muphridish starship anyway.

    Brian.pngBrian: Indeed, though it does make me thing about just what is all up there.

    Brad.pngBrad: Yes, the Muphridish-al'Hasiq war, plus the various smaller wars in Follomer and Carpathia, there's bound to be a lot of ships flying around out there.

    Brian.pngBrian: Indeed... tons and tons of starships.

    DPI-3-5-1.png

    Another unknown starship, somewhere in space

    This particular starship had a very unusual appearance, almost as if it was grown instead of constructed like most other starships. Even the interior was different, with similarly green walls, as well as an apparently stone floor and ceiling, and stone-looking columns along the walls at regular intervals. The room was somewhat small, about the size of a large bathroom, and was sparsely filled, with only what appeared to be a bed down on the floor, similar to a futon, and a small waterfall on the opposite side of the room, mounted on the wall.

    One figure, wearing a feminine-looking green tank top, a short gray skirt, and no footwear at all appeared to be sleeping, sitting down against the wall on the bed, slowly breathing. The figure appeared to be human at first glance, though a closer look reveals that the person has webbed feet, as well as what appear to be gills. The stone door suddenly opened and a second figure walked into the room.

    Cormani.png ???: >It's time.<

    The first figure quickly looked up at the new arrival.

    Mardon.png ???: >Cormani, I'm not ready!<

    Cormani.png Cormani: >You can do... whatever it is you do on your own later, Mardon. Right now I have something to tell you.<

    Mardon.png Mardon: >What?<

    Cormani.png Cormani: >We're heading back to the al'Hasiq region.<

    Mardon.png Mardon: >Haven't been there in awhile... that one planet, Terra, I think, was interesting, I wonder what it would have been like if we had stayed longer and helped the Romans out, how they would have done in space...<

    Cormani.png Cormani: >We're not really here to uplift others, though if the Dlorwani get any more problematic we might just do it anyway... Anyway, the planet's usually called Earth now, and that area really isn't the best place to uplift anyone anyay, too much chaos already. There's Myon, Carpathia, Vinawasho, the al'Hasiq, the Muphridians, Follomer, and that's just some of them. Though Earth really doesn't need uplifting now, both Carpathia and Follomer come from there.<

    Mardon.png Mardon: >Chaos? True, the al'Hasiq and the Muphridians do seem to be doing their best at attempting to blow the other up... just like they did back when we were only a millennia old.<

    Cormani.png Cormani: >Only... At any rate, it seems that the Muphridians are going to win, they've recently began building new starships that they call the Chekalandra class, each one about 5.6 km long, and each one capable of laying waste to an inhabited planet in about an hour, leaving behind basically no higher life forms... Give them a day, and the planet will look like it has just been formed. Good thing they at least follow some sort of military code, and keep the destruction to the enemy starships. While the al'Hasiq have more powerful weapons, the Muphridians have more weapons, though I still hope the war can be ended soon. And that's only the main conflict in the region.<

    Mardon.png Mardon: >Ick.<

    Cormani.png Cormani: >And apparently, one of those ships has gone missing.<

    Mardon.png Mardon: >Great. Can't they keep better care of their ships?<

    Cormani.png Cormani: >Apparently, it was disabled in battle, and when they came back to retrieve it, it had disappeared.<

    Mardon.png Mardon: >Typical. What can you expect from a civilization that is younger than you are?<

    Cormani.png Cormani: >Only barely... and at least they aren't childish like you are.<

    Mardon.png Mardon: >Hey!<

    Cormani.png Cormani: >At any rate, Myon's one of the central planets in the region that isn't trying to blow everyone else up... at least, not now.<

    Mardon.png Mardon: >So what are we waiting for?<

    Cormani.png Cormani: >Patience.<

    Cormani.png Cormani: Carmucaicivvup tacarmaion.

    Soon, we will go to the planet Myon.

    Galesfe City

    DPI-3-1.jpg

    Nikki.png Nikki: Guah? There's a hole in the city!

    Nick.png Nick: Huh? No, that area just hasn't been rendered yet.

    Nikki.png Nikki: Oh.

    Nick.png Nick: And it looks like someone doesn't know their way around the city. They come in down a street, get on the highway, get off the highway, head around to the far side of Mt. Jamig, get on a subway, head to the opposite corner of Mt. Jamig, get off the subway, get on the light rail, and then loop back around again, when if they just turned left instead of getting on the highway, they could have gotten to wherever it is they're going easier.

    DPI-3-2.jpg

    Nikki.png Nikki: Hmm, looks more open in this part of the city.

    DPI-3-3.jpg

    Nick.png Nick: Not so much on the other side of the mountain, though.

    DPI-3-4.jpg

    Nikki.png Nikki: And here's the highway, again.

    Nick.png Nick: It's open over there as well.

    Comments:

    crushedcar: Glad you like it!

    ComputerGuy890100: Sorry, I have no idea where the stadium is from. I can't find it in the plugins folder, the STEX, the landmarks menu, and querying the thing doesn't help, either.

    Schulmnator: Interesting. Did you check for explosion? That might work...

    Archean3: Umm.. yes. They're a little young, though, right now.

    Leech10: Using any traffic simulators? Also, what seems to be the shortest/easiest route, doesn't have to be the fastest one, though in this case, just turning left would indeed have been faster.

    Brad, I think Brian asked you a retorical question.

    ???: >It's time.<quote>

    To get out of bed and get dressed?

    ???: >Cormani, I'm not ready!<quote>

    Yes, everybody always wants to stay in bed a little longer.

    Mardon: >Haven't been there in awhile... that one planet, Terra, I think, was interesting, I wonder what it would have been like if we had stayed longer and helped the Romans out, how they would have done in space...<quote>

    A bunch of decadent people flying around, with their mind set on conquring everything? Please not, though the Middle Ages, that followed the Romans, weren't that good either.

    Cormani: >Only... At any rate, it seems that the Muphridians are going to win, they've recently began building new starships that they call the Chekalandra class, each one about 5.6 km long, and each one capable of laying waste to an inhabited planet in about an hour, leaving behind basically no higher life forms...

    Sounds a lot like the deathstar in Star Wars, that one could also rip a planet apart in a day.

    Cormani: >And apparently, one of those ships has gone missing.<quote>

    And no-one has though of installing tracking sensors?

    Mardon: >Great. Can't they keep better care of their ships?<quote>

    My thought exactly

    Mardon: >Typical. What can you expect from a civilization that is younger than you are?<quote>

    Define civilisation. Unless Mardon and Cormani also 'helped' the Muphridians, I doubt a species can come to existence and advance to this level in around 11.000 years. However, if M&C helped, they are to blame for whatever the Muphridians are currently doing.

    Mardon: >So what are we waiting for?<

    Cormani: >Patience.<quote>

    You either have patience, or you don't have patience. If you don't have it, you can try to train to get more patience. Just sitting there and waiting for you to have patience, doesn't mean that patience will eventually come to you, though it does take a lot of patience to wait so long.

    And that's the end of my seccond mega-reply. The other CJ I posted my first in didn't have any updates after the one I mega-replied to, so I can only hope that fate wont be the fate of this one.

    Coastal Galesfe

    First, a note: The city and story sections will now be separate from each other, so each update that appears will have whatever I have ready, so hopefully 'll be able to keep some sort of orderly schedule in getting them out.

    DPI-4-1.jpg

    DPI-4-2.jpg

    DPI-4-3.jpg

    Nikki.png Nikki: Whoa, big.

    Nick.png Nick: This is one of several shield generators for Galesfe City. There are also plans on linking various shield generators like this with others on the planet to form some sort of planetary shield, though I have no idea how they're doing that, or how far they are.

    Nikki.png Nikki: There are also beam weapons set up here as well, modified to work effectively in an atmosphere, that are also capable of attacking things in orbit.

    Nick.png Nick: There are railguns in there as well, though they can't be seen.

    DPI-4-4.jpg

    Nikki.png Nikki: There's underwater farms in the area as well.

    Nick.png Nick: And trees. There's lots and lots of trees.

    DPI-4-5.jpg

    DPI-4-6.jpg

    DPI-4-7.jpg

    Nikki.png Nikki: And more farms.

    Nick.png Nick: There's research in the area as well, hence the subs.

    Comparison episodes:

    Galesfe City Episode 33

    Comments:

    Archean: Already did this one.

    Schulmanator: You'll have to wait and see... though you should already know who's ship it is.

    tarrina: (previous update) Glad you like it!

    Korot: Will do this one after the update.

    Schulmanator2: Maybe it broke and they're trying to find somehwere to buy a new one.

    Leech10: Only one?

    Also I'm working on something that involves a randomly odd Japanese song and the characters from this story (and a couple that aren't) in case you're interested. More information later.
