X(4) - Child & Father

Post by Exitialis » Fri, 10. Mar 06, 12:44

Just had some extra (too much) time at hand while waiting X3 to drop into my postbox. Read walkthrought (i am not THAT intrested on the plot) and wrote a sequel which is wrapping up the widespread storyline for final mach. I allready can see that most of you wont like it, but... Well i found it quite differend. Also dont mind my spelling errors. I aint too good at english.

Here it begins:

X4 – CHILD AND FATHER

One quite normal day in Menelaus Paradise. Well maybe not that normal. Many of the patrolling pilots had taken notice that, there haven’t been any Xenon activity lately. Higher ranking officers are getting nervous and think it’s the chill breeze before storm. Suddenly Xenon capital ship #efaa jumps trought east gate and is escorted Xenon M6 class Xenon P's. Whole solar system is alerted and fleets of Boron ships take defensive positions and prepare for an attack. Suddenly #efaa sends a message that says “We mean no harm… We are here to negotiate about our future”. Borons are surprised.

Quickly the news starts to spread. #efaa sends another message “We look for peace”. Borons try to decide what to reply, and just when they are going to send greeting message #efaa sends yet another message “We suggest you assemble leaders for negotiations”. At the same time Argon M6 which is escorted by some M3:s jumps throught west gate to Menelaus Paradise to see this wonder. Argons and Borons discuss amongst themselves that #efaa must have reached self councious, but neither one are sure what it is up to. The Argon M6 which is carrying newly named General, Julian Gardna of the Argon space navy approaches the Xenon, #efaa. Julian sends message “This is representative for Argon Federation, I Julian Gardna will be here for Argons, Argon Federation is willing to discuss about peace.”.

Only a moment later Split M6 with wing of M3:s jumps into the sector throught South gate. “This is the Split, and we are here for the negotiations”. In few Stazuras the Teladi and Paranid have come too to Menelaus Paradise. #efaa explained that they have noticed how the surrounding empires are under threat from Kha’ak and that they have heard about lately found Earth, their creators. #efaa explained that he must see it. Xenons offer their help against the Kha’ak in exhange for clear passage to Earth Gate.

All of sudden several Kha’ak destroyers appear to Menelaus Paradise, with hundreds of smaller fighters. Most of them target #efaa, like they were aware what he was planning. Argon Titan joins the battle from Getsu Fune and jumps throught the west gate into Menelaus Paradise. But quickly the entire system is overwhelmed by Kha’ak. #efaa retreats back to Xenon sector 597. Entire Menelaus Paradise is quickly destroyed by Kha’ak and all exits except the gate to Xenon sector 597 are blocked by Kha’ak destroyers. Julian Gardna escapes to Xenon sector 597 too and sends message to all surviving ambassadors “Follow me, it must be safer in Xenon sector than in here…”.

When Julian Gardna takes his M6 to Xenon sector it is met by Xenon M1 and Xenon M2 where other is #efaa. Gardna sits tight and sweat is pouring down from his forehead as the two big ships just stand there looking like they are trying to decide what to do. Supercluster of Kha’ak appear from the gate behind Julian and the Xenons open fire on them. Julian also engages the Kha’aks. The Kha’aks are quickly overpowered by Xenons.

#efaa messages Julian “It seems that Kha’ak are very well informed about our plans. We believe you are the only survivor of Menelaus Frontier.”. Julian Gardnas M6 is badly damaged. Julian sends message to #efaa “My ship is badly damaged, is there anyway I can repair it in here?”. #efaa answers “That’s negative. But we could modify one of our ships to be suitable for your operating capabilities, Follow me to Sector 596.”. Julian follows #efaa.

In Sector 596 #efaa asks Julian to dock with the space station in this sector. The Xenon have prepared an Xenon M for him. #efaa says “We will destruct your M6 for spare parts”. Julian hates to change his M6 for this hunk of junk, but sits on his new Xenon M since the M6 is totally scrapped. Julian says “I must return to Argon prime… They might need my help”. #efaa replies “Yes, we believe the Kha’ak have begun a major assault against your empires, we can help and it is in my intrests to get you back to your kind”. Fly back to 597 you be escorted by us throught Menelaus Paradise to Bluish Snout”. Julian does as told.

When they arrive to Menelaus Paradise (again) Julian is escorted by wing of Xenon M4:s. There is only one Kha’ak destroyer lurking around. All which once was Boron is now gone. Menelaus Frontier has become to be Kha’ak sector now. Julian and the Xenon wing fly throught the sector avoiding Kha’aks. In Bluish Snout they meet two Kha’ak destroyers battling group of Boron destroyers and tons of fighters. Julian decides just to evade and not get into battle. How ever the Xenon wing that escorted him attacks the Kha’ak and helps Borons.

#efaa messages Julian “Return to Argon Prime and tell what happened, if you want we help, clear Menelaus Paradise and free us”. Julian takes long trip back to Argon prime. Back in Argon prime he is met by Argon One and Dan Bana. Bana greets Julian and is relieved that he is still alive. Dan Bana tells Julian that the Kha’ak Invasion has stopped and obviously the Kha’ak only managed to secure Menelaus Paradise. Argon Federation cant help Borons to reclaim it, since Kha’aks are attacking all over their sectors. So Borons have to work this on their own. Julian tells that Xenons might help if Boron accept to do joint attack with them. Dan Bana says that his hands are tied. You should go to Kingdom End and talk to Borons about it.

Julian trips to Kingdom End and meets the leaders of Boron Kingdom. After long discussion with Borons they accept, but want Julian to be there in aid and to work as messenger between Boron and Xenon. Borons suggest that Julian assembles some wingmen for him and meet Boron Fleet in Bluish Snout. And so Julian trips back to Bluish Snout.

When Julian enters Bluish snout he is contacted by Boron fleet commander who orders Julian to inform Xenon that they will begin their attack in 5 Stazuras. Julian flyes throught the Kha’ak sector which has now somekind of strange crystalline building in middle of it.

Julian narrowly manages to get back in Xenon sector 597 and is met by #efaa. Julian informs #efaa about the upcoming attack by Boron. #efaa agrees and assembles fleet of his own.

After time is expired Boron fleet and Xenon fleet start to invade the Kha’ak sector. After some battling they manage clean this sector. Boron thank #efaa and suggest that in future maybe they can do some trading. #efaa sounds excited about an idea of trading. #efaa informs that they will retreat to sector 597 to wait further actions.

#efaa asks if Xenon can leave one Xenon P to stand as gatewatch and messenger in Menelaus Paradise. Boron accept the request. Julian asks #efaa why he wants to go to Earth Gate. #efaa answers that Xenon have some questions for Earth fleet. But now they need some help to get integrated for their new allies. #efaa asks could Julian escort Xenon ship to the headquarters of Profit Guild. Xenons need information about the currency used by other nations.

While Julian escorts the Xenon ship towards the headquarters of Profit Guild, they are met by many differend groups of extremists who oppose the Xenon joining Profit Guild. Julian and the Xenon L fight their way throught their way. When the arrive to their destination, #efaa thanks Julian and Xenon open borders for trade. Xenons how ever don’t have much to trade for. Since their only kind of factory is machine shop which uses Ore, and E-cells. But they start slowly to import raw materials which are getting scarce to get in Xenon sectors.

Xenon TS:ses are attacked by extremists who don’t like Xenon to take part in interstellar commercial activity. Julian is asked to Escort few shipments of Ore to Xenon Sector and some goods back from there. After the trading has begun #efaa tells that it will take some time for them to prepare to go to Duke’s domain and meet the Earth Fleet. Meanwhile Ban Dana has some casual anti-Kha’ak jobs for Julian.

Obviously Kha’aks have started to form up in one of the Pirate sectors. Dan Bana asks Julian to make a scout mission to Mi Tons Refuge sector. And so Julian goes to Mi Tons refuge. On arrival Julian finds out that Kha’ak are building somesort of jump gate of their own there. Julian quickly fends of some Kha’aks and escapes to nearest Argon sector and reports of Kha’ak.

Dan Bana amasses fleet in co-operation with Boron and Paranid to take control of that sector. When the fleet arrives to that sector with Julian the gate is operating and has opened way to Kha’ak sectors. Almost continous flood of strange Orb like ships spawn out of the gate and the Destroyers fire on them. The Orbs return fire by shooting one single powerfull ray. These are obviously somesort of Mobile "Lasertowers" but much more powerfull. Very slowmoving and long reload time. Purpose of these is propably to work as sentry guns. It seems Kha'ak must use normal gates when transporting these things.

After a while of fighting the capital ships sent to take control of the sector lose. Suddenly Xenon destroyers escorted by some Teladi fighters enter the system. #efaa destroyer is also with them. The battle continues for a moment until #efaa says that the gate must be destroyed, but none of the ships seem to be able to harm it. #efaa decides to sacrifice himself and rams the gate destroying it. Right before the death of #efaa, it says “May this be a gesture of our intentions”.

The empires who got saved because of Xenon gave the control of Mi Tons Refugee to Xenons. #efaa had updated #deff to reach his own councious and #deff was allowed to enter Earth Gate. Strangily enough it was accompanied by some Goner ships. The Earth Fleet responded peacefully to it. Earth Fleet and Xenons had met again. Xenons told them that they had been in search of their creators so long, just to ask for apology for what their previous versions had done.

Since that day Mi Tons refuge was known as Xenon sector #efaa. The peace between Xenon and Earth Fleet encouraged Earthians to start discussions about trade and diplomacy with X- universe empires. Julian Gardna was recruited to work as Diplomat between Xenon and Earth. Xenon had found their father and their home. Child and Father were back in together. Now whole X-Universe would be standing together and ready to meet the Kha’ak in full power. Now the differend races could ally and go head on with the evil Kha’ak.



Yeah, well here it is. I havent played X3 yet. So :S I hope it isnt too boring.

I thought this was going to be about Julian and his father, not the xenon and thier makers.

It has a potential to be continued,how about something along the lines of the xenon build a base of operations near earth in order to negotiate peace and trade, but in secret are actually building a fleet to attack earth and the rest of the universe.

Well i imagine the first really inteligence in Xenon would be something of a child... Realising the hugeness of world around it and mind full of questions. I doubt "Revenge" is the first thing it thinks.

Nice idea.
Apart from one thing why would the khaak be building a gate. since they can jump with out it. might be better if they were building something else, or teh inclusion of another khaak weapon/allie to the khaak whoes tech is too different to be intergrated with them so need jump gates and not khaak gatless jumpdrives.

Good start, just make sure you keep a constant viewpoint - you start off second person, and then jump back and forth to third and first... gets a little hard follow, that's all. Keep it up!

Nice short story. You obviously read Farnham's Legend :D

As for the gate, it could be a 'cheap' way for them to get plenty of ships in. We don't know yet what resources they require to jump w/o gates ;)
