Inside of BoS headquarters.

Imran: Well Roy, are the schmatics out yet!
Roy: One sec, c'mon! Like you couldn't spluge for an upgrade.
Imran: Hey!, ever since Intel raised their prices we've been stuck with this 30th century crap. Sorry.
Roy: Fine, Fine.
Imran: So, it says here that an alliance with CWAL would be benefitial? Why?
Roy: So, you can beat down Activsion...
Imran: Agh, but clubs have been cast off that forum. There is a off-topic shield I believe there.
Roy: Damn! We'll I'll need to print out new schmatics now. They'll be done in a week.
Imran: A week? For the love of Sid!
Roy: I do love Sid.
Imran: What?! Oh never mind.

Imran strolls out of the headquarters seeing YYYH training his troops.

Imran: (yelling) Nice Drill, NIMadier General!
YYYH: Thank you Mr. President, you wanted to see me!
Imran: (yelling) Yes, I did!
YYYH: Well, you don't have to yell. After all, I am standing 2.34 feet in front of you.
Imran: Right, anyway. Roy screwed up, we don't have anyone to fight for ohhh a week at least.
YYYH: A week!! You know I can't last more than hour without combat.
Imran: Well if Talon can do it, why not you?
YYYH: Talon? Talon suffered a nervous breakdown from lack of fighting.
Imran: What?!! Why does no one tell me these things? Well, Ok, I have a plan.
YYYH: You? Without Roy's schmatics? You're kidding right?
Imran: Why would I be? I made Roy, remember, it thinks like me.
YYYH: Oh, yeah (mumbling) maybe that's why its a moron.
Imran: What?!
YYYH: Nothing.
Imran: YYYH do you know Socrates, Aristotle, Plato?
YYYH: Yes.
Imran: Morons! Now, Let me come up with a smashing plan. I'll call it Operation um...
YYYH: What about the title of the thread, sir!
Imran: Oh right (looks up). Operation Flaming Sparrow, that's retarded!
YYYH: um, sir, it is Operation Flaming Arrow.
Imran: Um, Right! I knew that, I was just, er.. testing you.

--------------------------------------------

15.4538 hours later

Loudspeaker: YYYH please report to the President's Office.
YYYH: *&^#($&

YYYH enters the President's office.

Imran: OK, here's the plan. This area here, rich in oil, is controled by the Hive. Now, to get this oil, I think we need some more, we should attack here, here, and here.
YYYH: Excuse me sir, but when did Alpha Centauri factions enter in here?
Imran: Since this is a Sid Meier Alpha Centauri forum.
YYYH: Oh right. I'm on my way.
Imran: Oh, did Talon pass his psychological exam.
YYYH: Yeah, I guess he can fight, but he keeps refering to evil things such as NYM. No one can figure it out.
Imran: Ok he's fine. Roll him out there.
YYYH: What's NYM though?
Imran: You'll find out soon enough. MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
YYYH: Um.. OK

YYYH leaves the Office

YYYH: What a $^@&^#

YYYH: What in the bloody hell? The Hive? I didn't know this was the SMAC forums! I thought it was the hang out forums. Well, I'm dumb anyway.

Colonel K'nownothing: Sir, are we supposed to go now??

YYYH: Go where?

K'nownothing: To battle! To fight the Hive.

YYYH: Oh yes, of course. Umm mobilize the.....

Intercom: NIMadier general YYYH, report to the black ops room. Lieutenant Vistan wishes to speak with you.

YYYH: What? Oh well, K'nownothing, with me!

(YYYH & K'nownothing take an elevator down into the Earths core, where the black-ops room is. The room is extremely hot)

YYYH: Why'd you build this in the core of the Earth again Lieutenant??

Lieutenant Vistan: Umm, I forget, but that's not important right now. What is important is the communique we recieved from CWAL, some weird alien dude who follows the name Exile.

YYYH: Exile?? Show the tape.

Vistan: It's not a tape, it's a minidisc sir, there's a difference.

YYYH: Shutup & put it on damn it.

(The TV screen goes on. The image is staticy, but a Protoss picture clearly sticks through it.)

Exile: Well, YYYH. It seems I was able to seize your family. Hehe. You see, we got your girlfriend, mom, dad, uncles, cousins. etc etc etc.

(The camera zooms in on YYYH's beaten, & tied up family.)

YYYH: You bastard, give 'em back!!

K'nownothing: I thought you didn't like your family YYYH?

YYYH: I don't! But it's the principle of the thing, no one steals from YYYH! Whether it be a nickel, or those fat oafs of my family!

K'nownothing: Oh, of course.....

YYYH: Now give 'em back Exile!!

Vistan: Ummm, sir, that's been taped already, he can't hear you!

YYYH: Give 'em back.......What? Oh, well, you could of told me before letting me make an ass of myself!

Vistan: Yeah, anyway. What should we do sir??

YYYH: I'm gonna go after them

Vistan: No support? No back-up?? Sir, just take our commandoes with you!

YYYH: No, I must go alone!

Vistan: Why?? You have a huge army backing you up!! You have a million people who could do this for you!

YYYH: You just don't get it, do ya? This wouldn't be an action/adventure if I didn't go by myself. It's the tried, true, & overused plotlines of these crap movies!

Vistan: Oh.

YYYH: Now, if you excuse me, I must go find him.

(YYYH locks a clip into his BAR, & runs out to his 89 Camry. He drives the Camry two feet, & it breaks down.)

YYYH: Damn it, not again! *takes a walkie-talkie* Talon, lemme borrow your car.

Talon: Sir, I don't have a car, I'm too young

YYYH: *whispering* I have idiots in my army. *talking into the walkie-talkie* You don't have a car, but you fly million dollar jets??

Talon: Basically sir.

YYYH: Son of a......Well, give me a ride to Chiron. I have an intercept to pick up.

Talon: REALLY! Who????

YYYH: I'll explain on board, now take me to Chiron.

Talon: Umm, Chiron doesn't exist.

YYYH: In 100 years it does! You need to drive the jet through the 4th dimension, then emerge in the Alpha Centauri system.

Talon: And ummm, how do I do that??

YYYH: I'll explain on board, just pick me up.

Talon: Yes sir

To be continued as I feel like.....

Your faithful & hell-bent NIMadier general,

Jay: WHAT! Talon got so drunk that he hired nolaT to our army?!?
Male BoS officer: Umh, yes sir!
Jay: Where is he now?
MBO: He's with NIMadier general YYYH on his way to Chiron.
Jay: Chiron?
MBO: Chiron.
Jay: Chiron doesn't exist yet!
MBO: They're going to do a "Time Warp".
Jay: Oh Crap. Looks like someone's got to go after them. Get my JSF ready for a space flight.
MBO: Uh, sir?
Jay: What?
MBO: Space flight?
Jay: Yes.
MBO: Uh huh.
Jay: What?
MBO: Nothing.
( Jay leaves the room.)

( Several hours later in the Chiron atmosphere.)
Jay: No sign of them. Damn! I'm in here too early.
JSF Computer System: Radar picked up a Huge object not too far below.
Jay: What the hell!?!? Can't be the unity, it already crashed.
JSF Computer System: Scanner sweep confirms object as a highly modified Terran Dominion battlecruiser.
Jay: The Phoenix! That's it! Now, I'll just follow it for a while. Computer, initialize cloaking systems.
JSF C S: Cloaking 90% succesful. Differences in atmosphere messed up the system.
Jay: This is getting even more fun.

(Jay watches as the Wraith-Class fighters are released from the CWAL HV:s one and only battlecruiser.)

What's a JSF?
Jay posted 12-12-98 07:03 PM ET     Click Here to See the Profile for Jay  Click Here to Email Jay     
Oops I just noticed an error. "Several hours later" combined with a time warp? Oops.

And Forxy; the JSF is a fighter craft ( of my design). Small one-man fighter capable of very high speeds in both space and atmospheres. Not as agile as a X-wing but a lot faster.Armed with a dual rapid-fire pulsar cannon and external slots for up to six Inferno missiles OR up to eighteen freefall ( or napalm) bombs.

You mean it's like an A-wing, right, Jay?
Exile posted 12-12-98 08:01 PM ET     Click Here to See the Profile for Exile  Click Here to Email Exile     
actually, the A-Wing is just a TIE Defender with shields.

And the Y-Wing just suck-diddly-ucks. It's slow, hard to turn, and oh-so-vulnerable. I'm sure if they wern't so limited by resources, the Rebels would have chucked it in favor of the X-Wing.

X-Wing: A true masterpiece of starfighter tech. Flown by such illustrious groups as Rogue Squadron and the covert Wraith Squadron. Requirements to fly: Must be a Rebel Pilot, must know how to fly, must wear orange flightsuit.

-Exerpts from "Exile's Guide to Starfighters he's Flown Before"

(P.S. Hey Fjorxc, don't tell the Empire I'm hiding the plans to the Death Star on the Phoenix. Also, Don't tell the Rebels it was me who tipped Darth Vader off on the Hoth base) =)

Exile, you mean the TIE Interceptor, right? The T/D could squash almost anything, and it already has shields. The A-wing, on the other hand, is the "fast Rebel flying tin coffin."

I agree with you on the Y-wing. The name: "Slow flying Rebel death trap."

X-wings are good, sure, but I'd pick a TIE Advanced or a TIE Defender any day. That's if I'm flying as an Imp, of course. Otherwise, X-wing all the way.

B-wings are nice for bombing runs. Faster than Y-wings, good armor, good shields, great weaponry, but still not as efficient for dog-fighting as the X-wing.

I won't bother with TIE's. Except for the T/A and the T/D, they all suck royally.

Yeah, the the Y-Wing has been described as flying through the atmosphere like "a combination between a TIE Fighter and a big rock."

What the hell?? How did our thread for writing stories turn into a bunch of CWALers discussing Star Wars planes??

I guess I'll jump in. The A-Wing is the best plane in Star Wars, bar-NONE!

YYYH

Fjorxc asked what a JSF was, and then the discussion turned into one of Star Wars craft. No BoS thread is safe from CWAL's ability to go off-topic. (Evil laughter.)
Exile posted 12-13-98 12:46 AM ET     Click Here to See the Profile for Exile  Click Here to Email Exile     
Let me just say, A-Wing is a bunch of bull crap.....I'd rather fly a Y-Wing into a dogfight then that...Atleast the Y-Wing has a better chance of making it out wih it's supperiour weaponry, armor, and shielding. On the other hand, what does an A-Wing have? Speed? no, I've seen Interceptors out run it (I playes that new Rogue Squadron game, I'm pretty good, and I have seen Interceptors outrun me in an A-Wing) Manuverability? No, a Star Destroyer could outturn an A-Wing, it's speed is it's downfall, that large ammount of speed, counter in the turn time (plus making sure the pilot does NOT pass out) will make for a wide turn arc. And an A-wing has neither armor or plenty of shields.

And THAT is my 2 cents

Well now CWAL:ers calm down.
Yes, the JSF is kind like an A-Wing but with several severe differences:
First, speed. JSF is faster than an A-Wing
Second, outlook. JSF looks way different. it even has wings.
Third, weaponry. Dual Rapid-Fire pulsars are far more deadly than standard SW lasers. Plus that JSF has external missile/bomb slots. A-Wing doesn't know how to carry bombs.

Almost forgot. JSF isn't my first design. MPF is. The MPF is ( was) more clumsy and slower than JSF, and it couldn't travel in space. But it's weaponry made it ideal for close-support operations. Two rocket guns with a 50-rocket clip and external slots capable of carrying 2 Inferno missiles AND a dozen of bombs. Of course now with JSF on action the MPF is being taken out of field service.

Talon: Ummm how??

YYYH: Simple. You just send your ship at light speed through the 4th dimension

Talon: How??

YYYH: Ahh, you press this RED button right here.

Talon: Red Button?

YYYH: Red button.

Talon: Ummm, ok

(Talon presses the red button. The ship heads through the 4th dimension & towards Chiron. Talon starts screaming like a baby, while YYYH grins)

Talon: You....you enjoy this???

YYYH: Of course, I haven't done this since 1962!

Talon: What the.....

A mysterious voice from the air speaks to Talon: Don't ask.

Imran: So is Talon back?
Sargent: Not yet maybe he'll be back later.
Imran: Couldn't he just time travel back here?
Sargent: I guess so, he said he was stopping for some NIMburgers.
Imran: Damn! Oh well, take me to the labs, Sargent.
Sargent: You're standing right in front of them.
Imran: Oh right. I knew that.

(Imran pushes the green button on the side of the lab. He steps into the void and reappears in the Lab.)

Imran: DJ is Project NYM almost done?
DJ: Yes, sir! We are beginning tests right now. If you come to the testing table, now.
Imran: Oh my God is that... TAWDAL! I thought he was dead!
DJ: No sir, I saved him for my experiments
Imran: So that is where that familiar scream was coming from. Ok, continue testing.

(DJ leads Imran to a door that leads into a protected room. Once they enter, DJ gives Imran protective goggels and a coat.)

Imran: Is this neccessary?
DJ: Yes, NYM is powerful!

(DJ flips a switch and the room goes green, a beam hits TAWDAL and he screams.)

TAWDAL: NOO!!! NO MORE SPICE GIRLS!!

Oops I posted my part of the story into a ( The) wrong thread. It went straight to Phoenix Rising Part III.
Anyhow, here it is!

It hadn't been a pleasant day for Jay. He had seen most of CWAL HV:s wraiths to be shot down in a fierce aerial combat with spartan needlejets. He himself hadn't been in the combat, but instead had observed it from a safe distance. And when the beaten-up forces of CWAL finally arrived back to the Phoenix, Jay was suddently afraid. The JSF's cloaking systems were intact, but lacking power. He knew he had to turn the cloaking off for a couple of hours to recharge them. That would mean exposing himself either to the Phoenix, or to the Spartans below. A hard choice. The Phoenix would probably start shooting immediatly, since it was a CWAL HV vessel. And the Spartans would probably do pretty much the same thing. They would think that the JSF would just be a disguised CWAL HV fighter. Besides, they probably wanted the weapons technology of a JSF. In the other hand, the people in the Phoenix were still humans, from the same time as Jay was. And the Spartans were fanatics. Another thing was that if he went to the other side of Chiron... No. He needed to stay close to the Phoenix, so that Scanners from the planet wouldn't detect him.
There was still power in the cloaking systems, but for only half an hour or so...
So he made a decision.
After pressing a few switches, the flight control computer of the JSF beeped.
JSF computer system: Weapons-offline? Are you sure you want to do that?
Jay: Damn microsoft... Just put the weapons offline! When the cloaking ends, they'll scan the ship, and when they see that weapons are offline, they probably won't shoot immediatly.
Jay presses a few buttons.
JSF computer system: Are you sure you want to try establishing comm-link to a hostile craft?
Jay: That's my best bet. If they open fire, I'll probably die fighting.
