Target Designate: 4th Division has allied with Target Designate: Pater Aestus. Threat Level priority has been raised to Alpha.
Target Designate: 4th Division is planning to use ion crystals as IEDs. Remotely placing all Precursor Caches and other bases under lockdown. All base-onsite Agents, prepare Ion Crystals for immediate extraction to the Precursor Array.
Any extant Anti-Aestus operatives, gather hunting parties from any willing species in order to recover the Ion Crystals from the Precursor Caches. Relay the appropriate signal so I can unlock them, gather any and all crystals present, then relay another signal so I can place the Cache you recovered under lockdown again.
This is the Prime Minister of the Shoal. Many of you probably think that I died in a recent 4th Division attack. The truth of the matter is that I am very much alive, and I do not condone the actions of the 4th Division to any extent.
@Casual_Player , the Conglomerate and FMMA have been enemies for a while now, but I ask that we rekindle our alliance to destroy this damned 4th Division for good. They killed our general, they tore your trade empire to shreds and now we will have great justice!
I have assembled a crack team of Crabsquid in the Grand Reef, avoiding any and all Imperial Entanglements... I use the Degasi base as means of sending you this message. What do you say? Will the Conglomerate and FMMA once again stand united?
You have endangered our lives countless times, and even threatened the very well being of this planet via what we like to call "Precursor Madness". But haven't we all at some point or another, really?
Your cause and ambition is envious, Shoal. The Empire threatens our livelihood, as does the 4th Division. Will your nation be remembered as the one that stood idly as the Empire sweeps over this land? No, you'll be remembered as the ones who fought valiantly for the cause? What say you, you parasitic little bastard?!
@phantomfinch@Casual_Player , and others who wish to fight for our cause! Do you accept the frandliness? Will you fight with us against the 4th Division, and against the Empire? If you are to fight say Aye and you will forever be a brother of the Conglomerate! For glory!
I'm just trying to capture dat feel of the classic election stuff. Let's put the crazy aside for good and get political once again. I quote the Lorax: "It's time to change the life we lead, we say let it grow". Let this new outlook grow into a new beginning for this roleplay. A reboot, if you will. Let's set all that other stuff aside and focus on what really matters people: POLITICS! And the occasional war like we have now, but whatever, here we are! Back in business, I hope!
Although I may be only a single Reefback, I implore President @Ralij and the EPCA to join the Conglomerate in their grand endeavour. The EPCA has united 4546B under its banner. If we strike against the Lava Empire and the turncoats of the 4th Division, more shall follow in our footsteps. Our vast food supplies, our adaptability, our alliances with the Tiger Plants and Crashes; these things shall all be boons in the days to come.
Did we shy away when Pater Aestus rose from the depths to bring death to our front door? NO! When the Union of Biomes called for a leader, did we turn tentacle and hide? NO! We are the EPCA, and we will not fade quietly into the night! We will meet our subterranean oppressors and their Crabsquid allies in their home, and we will fight with claw and Crash! We will lead the races of 4546B into a glorious new era of cooperation, united by our will not only to survive, but to thrive! And if we fail, if Pater Aestus and General Sketh fell our best and brightest in combat, on that day of reckoning...
...we'll be going out with a bang.

4th Division Message
Your threat and taunts are all too hollow. Have you seen the armies of the deep, as we have? We could have just as easily turned our backs to Pater and continued fighting our own battles. Now, when we look at what we would have been fighting, we are glad we didn't. The armies are great, and powerful. Anyone who turns their back on them is a dead fish.
Are you ready to go belly up? If not, maybe rethink your actions and take the consequences into consideration.
We are clearing out the lost river, like a cough clears out a throat. This day it glows greener than it ever did before; not just with the murky water, but with green flame. We have discovered a second Precursor Cache in the Blood Kelp not too far from our location, and there we can resupply on Ion Crystals, ready for more attacks.
With our might combined you have surely lost.
Oh, still blinded by your delusions of grandeur, I see, General. Do you REALLY think that Pater Aestus will spare you and your men? Once you've helped him in his crusade of vengeance, he will wipe you all out or turn you into Unheard, and you'll only be able to watch as your body becomes an unholy mockery of life.
You think you matter to a god? You don't. You are but an ant compared to him. We all are. If he wanted, he could probably wipe us out in a single day.
That's why I'm calling the EPCA to action. Alone, we might not stand a chance, but the seas united can topple an Emperor. Maybe we can even have peace.
We're giving you one chance. Renounce your actions and return in shackles, and perhaps we'll grant you amnesty after you stand trial for treason. If not, you and your men will interrogated for what you know regarding the Unheard and Pater Aestus. After that, we will promptly execute you. All mentions of the Fourth Division's treachery will then be erased from the historical records. In short, you will be wiped from the face of this world.
I hope you make the right choice.

Well everyone else is doing a war speach so I might as well join in.
Bite joined the fight
This is grand general Bite reporting from the flagship Red October, one of the only vehicles remaining not controlled by the AI. We will be heading to the aurora crash site entrance of the lava zone to set up a staging ground for the assault and create a biter nest for the war.
For months we have ran like cowards from the war, waiting for our comrades to take control of the situation, it seemed that Phantomfinch jr was not up to the challenge of running an army and "promoted" me for the job, I ensure the reef that with coordinated help from our allies we will send these demons back to the hell fire from which they came.
As we speak our forces are developing strategies and formations to acomidate the new species and their special attributes. We were the ones who allowed this creature to become so powerful, with our bitterness toward the human blinding us we could not forsee the events that would happen, we started this war so we will end it.

Excellent plan. Although I will be unable to help you directly (my size prevents me from entering the Caches), I will attempt to deploy a squadron of Peepers to assist with retrieval of the Crystals. Just one thing:
The Precursor brain scans stored within the Caches are powered by the Ion Crystals. If you remove the crystals, those Precursors will die. I assume you have backups, but if you don't now would be a VERY good time to make some.

The 4th Division crippled the Institute, retrieving several war criminals in the process, together with their stunt killing a large number of civilians both on the explosion and on the volunteers who died helping the standing forces repelling the Unheard tide attracted by the commotion. We recommend caution on this matter, @the_mariner, and keeping any promises you make to them at the realms of reality. The 4th Division will be found and executed by the FMMA. They have shown how cowards they are when they allied themselves to a so called god. I think we can make the executions by dropping the taxidermised head of PaterAestus on their heads, because they like him so much.
Oh, and we would like to remind everyone that, while the FMMA deployed control mechanisms against the Shoal (mechanisms now erradicated), we always maintained our own fleet. If the Shoal lost any ships, is due to their incompetence. We never controled their fleet- and why we would do it when our own is much more numerous and advanced? We can manufacture entire armies within 20 minutes, for Aurora's sake. Why in the world would we need their floating sorry pieces of scrap?

I understand. Perhaps I could have worded that a bit better: under NO circumstances would I wish for the 4th Division to be granted complete amnesty. Best case scenario, they face life imprisonment for treason and war crimes. Worst case scenario, I think we can all agree their heads are going to be parting from their bodies. I only wish that we learn all we can about our enemy via interrogation before they're executed. And it's the part about ripping them from the history books, well...

Worry not. Thankfully, we are in possession of several Host-Class Agents. Their combat equipment has been replaced with long-rang phase-jumping technologies as well as a mobile Precursor Neural-Scan Interface capable of storing and powering three individuals for up to 7 hours. Once we have retrieved them (each Precursor Download takes roughly 4 minutes) we will transfer them to the Precursor Array for storage until this war is over.
You may have experience with war, but your experience will profit you nothing.

A brief look at my troops, just so it will be a fair fight.
The Sea Dragon and Lava Lizard will be joining the front lines as many expected.
A large group of Crabsquids have found their sanity, and joined me. I will give them rewards beyond comprehension.
A surprise competitor in my little skirmish is the Prowler, a creature that was very willing to join our cause, for they have despised the Aboveworld creatures for taking over their home. They will receive the Lost River, and all other biomes they choose.
Hopefully, this show of force will deter you from making decisions you will most certainly regret.
This is your final warning, retract your forces, or suffer the consequences.

We have a better idea. We kill your armies and allies, provide cover and shelter to any refugees fleeing your beloved "Empire", drain your blood, take your organs, mass produce the cure for the Carar bacterium, and only them, you will die. We believe that sounds much more plausible to us.
Of course, you can stand down now, and deliver to us the 4th Division, intact and unharmed. We would also need a sample of your blood, to understand and produce the cure to the Carar.
Also worth of saying, the FMMA is ready to give back to you your hatchling, the only one under our care. He's been developing nicely, and looks like it's healthy and strong. Unfortunately, we can't say the same from the other eggs, for they are not under FMMA possession.

You know as well as I that these creatures are not warriors.
They will be protected in a secret place from you mortals.
Bonecruncher has returned from his exodus, and isn't the only one to do so. Alongside him, hundreds of Reaper Leviathans that once inhabited the Dropoff swarmed in, preparing for war.
"The Leviathan Tribes, or most of them, agreed to leave the Dropoff and help us fight the war," Bonecruncher stated, "We won't have a shortage of fighters now. As long as these Reapers have something to fight, they'll be our allies."
It is great to finally see our great leader returning to deliver justice and retribution.

A brief look at my troops, just so it will be a fair fight.
The Sea Dragon and Lava Lizard will be joining the front lines as many expected.
A large group of Crabsquids have found their sanity, and joined me. I will give them rewards beyond comprehension.
A surprise competitor in my little skirmish is the Prowler, a creature that was very willing to join our cause, for they have despised the Aboveworld creatures for taking over their home. They will receive the Lost River, and all other biomes they choose.
Hopefully, this show of force will deter you from making decisions you will most certainly regret.
This is your final warning, retract your forces, or suffer the consequences.
The consequence, of death by my fire.
And what of the other inhabitants of these Biomes? The Ghost and Crimson Rays, The Larvae, The Lava Eyeyes and Boomerangs.
You know as well as I that these creatures are not warriors.
They will be protected in a secret place from you mortals.
Well, that never stopped you from deploying Lava Larvae to Aboveworld, did it Pater?
And the Lava Larvae, think on how the Crabsquid shunned you, saying that it was superior at taking power from the Antecedents. Think on how the Crabsquid disgraced your entire species. Soon, they will recognize your power too late. Rise, and take back your reputation that your fathers had torn away from them.
You may have experience with war, but your experience will profit you nothing.

/off mic/ Wait, what? I only wanted to give a voice to the voiceless and now I'm the President?! Good lord.... /off mic/
With the gravest threat we have seen to date surfacing, the EPCA will fight. With this unification comes peace above and war below. We wish for peace more than we wish for anything else, but will not stand for the wanton aggression of the Lava Empire. Hollow wishes for peace followed by the threat of a score of genocides can never be ignored. The Lava Empire claims to be bringing an unstoppable tide of violence, and yet Phalanx unit stood alone for several assaults and pushed back the dragon. With the people united it is we who will form the unstoppable tide and end this menace once and for all.
Reefback, Reaper, Crabsquid, AI, Crabsnake, Stalker, Ampeels, Biters and so many others now swim fin to fin in unity. Together we are far stronger than any single empire. For the sake of our combined people, for our communities, families, friends and everyone we have ever held dear we will fight for their defense.
If you truly wish for peace as you have so said, Pater, this is likely to be your last opportunity to make it so.
Apologies for the length of time between replies, new year is kicking my butt. Job hunting and helping take care of people whose loved ones just barely made it into 2017 is taking a lot of my time at the present. Thank you @the_mariner for stepping in. If you would like the helm I will gladly pass it to you if everyone is alright with this. I will gladly join the front lines in that case. If not I will continue to be on as often as I can be. I'm afraid this week is likely to be hectic and I won't be able to be on much. Cheers lads n lasses.

Can we get someone to make some kind of poster of an Avengers like scene of this?
I would, but it's a little above my picture editing pay-grade.

You could of at least asked to come and take it. or atleast say please, we don't want another war so you can have it.
Leave the climate control machines in the room though, we have an idea for that.

I apologize, I did not know you were under command of those caches. However, I hope that you do understand the gravity of the situation at hand.

Target Designate: 4th Division is planning to use ion crystals as IEDs. Remotely placing all Precursor Caches and other bases under lockdown. All base-onsite Agents, prepare Ion Crystals for immediate extraction to the Precursor Array.
Any extant Anti-Aestus operatives, gather hunting parties from any willing species in order to recover the Ion Crystals from the Precursor Caches. Relay the appropriate signal so I can unlock them, gather any and all crystals present, then relay another signal so I can place the Cache you recovered under lockdown again.
Oh, still blinded by your delusions of grandeur, I see, General. Do you REALLY think that Pater Aestus will spare you and your men? Once you've helped him in his crusade of vengeance, he will wipe you all out or turn you into Unheard, and you'll only be able to watch as your body becomes an unholy mockery of life.
You think you matter to a god? You don't. You are but an ant compared to him. We all are. If he wanted, he could probably wipe us out in a single day.
That's why I'm calling the EPCA to action. Alone, we might not stand a chance, but the seas united can topple an Emperor. Maybe we can even have peace.
We're giving you one chance. Renounce your actions and return in shackles, and perhaps we'll grant you amnesty after you stand trial for treason. If not, you and your men will interrogated for what you know regarding the Unheard and Pater Aestus. After that, we will promptly execute you. All mentions of the Fourth Division's treachery will then be erased from the historical records. In short, you will be wiped from the face of this world.
I hope you make the right choice.

Bite joined the fight
This is grand general Bite reporting from the flagship Red October, one of the only vehicles remaining not controlled by the AI. We will be heading to the aurora crash site entrance of the lava zone to set up a staging ground for the assault and create a biter nest for the war.
For months we have ran like cowards from the war, waiting for our comrades to take control of the situation, it seemed that Phantomfinch jr was not up to the challenge of running an army and "promoted" me for the job, I ensure the reef that with coordinated help from our allies we will send these demons back to the hell fire from which they came.
As we speak our forces are developing strategies and formations to acomidate the new species and their special attributes. We were the ones who allowed this creature to become so powerful, with our bitterness toward the human blinding us we could not forsee the events that would happen, we started this war so we will end it.
Peace through unity, glory to the shoal.
Excellent plan. Although I will be unable to help you directly (my size prevents me from entering the Caches), I will attempt to deploy a squadron of Peepers to assist with retrieval of the Crystals. Just one thing:
The 4th Division crippled the Institute, retrieving several war criminals in the process, together with their stunt killing a large number of civilians both on the explosion and on the volunteers who died helping the standing forces repelling the Unheard tide attracted by the commotion. We recommend caution on this matter, @the_mariner, and keeping any promises you make to them at the realms of reality. The 4th Division will be found and executed by the FMMA. They have shown how cowards they are when they allied themselves to a so called god. I think we can make the executions by dropping the taxidermised head of PaterAestus on their heads, because they like him so much.
Oh, and we would like to remind everyone that, while the FMMA deployed control mechanisms against the Shoal (mechanisms now erradicated), we always maintained our own fleet. If the Shoal lost any ships, is due to their incompetence. We never controled their fleet- and why we would do it when our own is much more numerous and advanced? We can manufacture entire armies within 20 minutes, for Aurora's sake. Why in the world would we need their floating sorry pieces of scrap?
FMMA High Council
I understand. Perhaps I could have worded that a bit better: under NO circumstances would I wish for the 4th Division to be granted complete amnesty. Best case scenario, they face life imprisonment for treason and war crimes. Worst case scenario, I think we can all agree their heads are going to be parting from their bodies. I only wish that we learn all we can about our enemy via interrogation before they're executed. And it's the part about ripping them from the history books, well...
...being grandiose never hurt anyone, did it?

This is your final warning, retract your forces, or suffer the consequences.
The consequence, of death by my fire.
We have a better idea. We kill your armies and allies, provide cover and shelter to any refugees fleeing your beloved "Empire", drain your blood, take your organs, mass produce the cure for the Carar bacterium, and only them, you will die. We believe that sounds much more plausible to us.
Of course, you can stand down now, and deliver to us the 4th Division, intact and unharmed. We would also need a sample of your blood, to understand and produce the cure to the Carar.
Also worth of saying, the FMMA is ready to give back to you your hatchling, the only one under our care. He's been developing nicely, and looks like it's healthy and strong. Unfortunately, we can't say the same from the other eggs, for they are not under FMMA possession.
Let us ask you this: would you be willingly to make your children grow on a world without their parents?

hmmmhmmmhmmmmhmmm...
huuuhuuuhuuuuhuuu...
haaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaa!
HAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAAAAA!!
Your threats...
are amusing to me.
I haven't laughed like that in eons.
I thank you for that.
It almost makes me want to spare your tiny, robotic life.
Almost.
Hmm, I wonder how hot it must be for you to melt.
It only took 2800 degrees to melt your friend who came down here.
...It would be wise to not underestimate us. And our "friend", by the looks of it, managed to make a hole on your head. Just on the underside of your mandible. The glowing one. Ouch, that looks like it hurted.
And you said you managed to melt the one responsible for that?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Oh my! My sides ejected!
And that is supposed to scare us? You realise there are entire divisions of "robots" taking an oath for your destruction? Are we supposed to believe in you?
You've just signed your death sentence. Don't worry, we will take good care of your hatchling.
On some human cultures, there's a place destined for "evil" individuals to spend their afterlife. Usually a place with hot temperatures and infinite torment. One of the most known names for it is "Hell".
Be assured we will make you really acquainted with the place, while alive of course.
Pack your things for the super summer season. You will be in that place for a really long time.

Bonecruncher has returned from his exodus, and isn't the only one to do so. Alongside him, hundreds of Reaper Leviathans that once inhabited the Dropoff swarmed in, preparing for war.
"The Leviathan Tribes, or most of them, agreed to leave the Dropoff and help us fight the war," Bonecruncher stated, "We won't have a shortage of fighters now. As long as these Reapers have something to fight, they'll be our allies."
It is great to finally see our great leader returning to deliver justice and retribution.
This is Steve Sandshark, signing off.

UCR forces have been captured. Orders?
Hmmm...
General Carrie has ordered us to retrieve the prisoners. If they die by their hands, we tear that Sea Dragon apart limb by limb.
Five Reapers will proceed. If the UCR leader can confirm this action we will finish the job.
If we are captured, we fight to the death.
