Zoot Wars II

[Paul]

OOC: Here is my first post guys

Grand Moff Conway ruler of the Galactic Empire listened to his scout leader report and dismissed him. It seemed that Zoot’s forces had done what they wanted at the Rebels’ moon base and were now withdrawing. They had suffered losses which angered Conway as the losses came from his forces that Zoot had seized from him a year earlier.

Conway remembered that day with acid like feelings inside his mind. He had entered the Sol system intending on forging an alliance with Zoot, but it had been undermined by the rebel agents that had smuggled themselves aboard his shuttle bringing Zoot to the Death Star. Conway had two Kaiser Class SSDs as well as a new Death Star and other Star Destroyers with support vessels with him that day. Then the attack had come as he prepared to destroy Earth with his superlaser. The rebels attacked at the same time as Zoot made his move to capture vessels using Force powers. Agents on the Death Star shut down the anti-starfighter defenses that protected the stations’ weak points. Rather than risk losing everything Conway had ordered an evacuation of the station. Against his better judgment he had allowed his mistress Jamie Dorja to leave before he and his Zootlings and she had been routed to the SSD Blitzkrieg. As the battle raged Conway, his clonemaster scientist, Zootlings, and honor guard of Stormtroopers were routed to the ISD III Tarkin. Upon docking he was rushed to the bridge where the Captain informed him that the SSD Fatherland had been destroyed, and worse that Zoot’s forces had captured the Blitzkrieg along with other vessels , and that Dorja was a prisoner of Zoot.

Zoot's forces had jumped to parts unknown as the Death Star exploded leaving Conway with no option other than retreat. The Imperials had regrouped near Pluto and found that they had left the Tarkin (which became the flagship), two Victory IIs, several Carrack class vessels, two Lancer IIs, and an Interdictor. Though not as impressive as his original fleet, it was still a formidable force. A communication from Zoot forced Conway into a Devil’s bargain. In exchange for his keeping Jamie alive Zoot required cloned Stormtroopers and clone Zootlings for his war. With little choice Conway agreed and set his cloning tubes on his ships into action. Unlike his former Emperor Palpatine, Conway put cloning facilities on most of his Star Destroyers as well as major bases. Palpatine had passed on the secret Sith technique of transferring ones mind to a new cloned body and Conway had hired the best clonemaster to keep himself and Dorja alive so far in three incarnations. Conway had swapped clones for Jamie’s safety, though Zoot kept her in suspended animation.

Now Grand Moff Conway had a plan to get even with Zoot and the Rebels at the same time. He already had a group of loyal officers and Stormtroopers set to take control of the auxiliary bridge on the Blitzkrieg. He would tell the Rebels that he would give them the self destruct for the SSD, but would only give them the Bridge self destruct. Thus the Rebels would help him and he would get his SSD back. As part of the deal he would get into Zoot's Io base and retrieve Jamie and capture Zoot. That part of the plan would require finesse. Paul would tell Zoot that he wanted Jamie back in exchange for a new type of Zootling clone, but would arrive with two platoons of Stormtroopers with ysalamiri mounted on their backs. Zoot’s Force powers would be negated. This would of course free the Rebels friend Defender but Paul was willing to give the Rebels their man back, unless he got himself captured.

Conway walked to the communications officer and arranged for an open message to the Chiss Grand Admiral in charge of the Rebels with his offer. He had little doubt his offer would be accepted. He then went into his private office and summoned Zoot on the holonet private channel. Zoot’s image came into view, “What do you wish to discuss Grand Moff?â€

OOC: Woo! Nice post GMC!

Glad to have you onbaord

[DarthTofu]

Mitth will be up next- Will that essentially be the 'end' of Zoot Wars II? It's amazing just how much this thing has expanded from a mere map of our members around the world all the way into a full-fledged RPG of so many pages.... Truly the spam is with us!

 

Just a warning for some of you- I already discussed this with Mitth- I'm going to check out for a little bit come ZWIII, primarily because I'm in my sophmore year and my algebra teacher likes to give homework in copious amounts to ensure that we grasp the concept. (In his defense I could have done the problems sets yesterday, but it's still technically homework on Halloween!)

 

I'll eventually come back in completely and totally unanounced for 1) The sake of realism 2) The sake of being able to act extra-kick ass and 3) (Which is actually the primary reason) pissing Defender off by sending his carefully laid out plans helter-skelter.

Woot! We're rollin' again!

[JediHunter]

OOC: Awesome post there Paul! Begun the Zoot Wars have.... (again) hehehehe...

[Mitth_raw_nuruodo]

May their souls burn in hell, and their bodies freeze in space. Mitth continued to stare out the bay door. The grin on his face never even wavered. After a few minutes Mitth activated his comlink.

 

"Krytos, it's Mitth. The enemy forces have just left the base. Fix Life Support and bring it back online". There was no response. "Krytos do you copy? Krytos!" Now where the hell did Krytos run off to? Mitth thought to himself. I don’t have time for this! Where is Home Two, I wonder?

 

“Control, this is Mitth. Have you received any word from Home Two and her escorts?â€

[Krytos]

OOC: *Golf glaps* Bravo Mr. Nuru... nurood ... urodo ... blue guy.

 

Umm, I'm going to leave the suggestions to others for now - until after my exams are over. Mitth, you know what I've written for my next two posts, so feel free to proxy for me.

I'll give further input soon!

 

Oh, and judging by the old list - Tofu is next, then Tex and then JH. I'll wait 'till ZW3 or whatever happens for my post, it's far from critical and I'm out of the way at the moment. I'm in hiding!

I'll wait till after this crisis is over 'till I "help" you Mitth with the force.

[JediHunter]

OOC: Great Post Mitth! No apologies needed for the "delay" when its that good of a post hehe.

[DarthTofu]

I'm waiting until stuff calms down to post- my midterms will be coming up in *Checks watch* about six weeks. I suppose I could post something in the meridian, but I'm incapacitated right now.

Grand Moff Conway stepped off from his shuttle along with his Stormtrooper escort. Meeting him were three squads of Rebel troops. His troops deployed around the shuttle. Conway noted that the Rebels had ysalamiri deployed to cover the shuttle and was glad he had decided to leave his four Zootlings on his Carrack Cruiser. Their Force abilities would have been useless, as well as the fact that it would show the Rebels where Zoot was getting his Zootlings from. Conway signaled his two picked Stormtroopers to accompany him. Two squads of Rebel troops moved to go with him as well as the ship’s Captain, a man named Harsk.

 

After a quiet walk they arrived at the meeting room. Conway and his two Stormtroopers entered into the room and saw Thrawn seated on one side of a table and a trooper- Paul assumed a handpicked man as well – stood facing the door. Conway nodded to Thrawn and sat opposite him.

 

Thrawn said, “Welcome aboard the Home Two, Grand Moff Conway. It is a pleasure to meet you.â€

OOC: I no longer have a set posting order. Although, just to keep things moving, how about: Def, Tex, me, JH, and me (proxy for Krytos). Tofu, if you want to throw a 'good bye' post in there (just saying that you are leaving, you don't even have to say a word to anyone else) just pick a spot. All of these posts would cover a two week lead-up the the battle w/ Zoot.

 

@Krytos: I think the old order that you are thinking of has already been used. And I checked. I do still have your two part post. (I would put the two parts together if I was to proxy post them.)

OOC: Thanks Mitth, but I'll be able to post my own ... posts

I was meaning for you to proxy my plot to the others if a discussion came up while I'm busy. On the bright side, I might (have to double check) be finished with uni by next week

Time sure flies.

[Paul]

Mith wants me to be in charge of this for a while. I was hoping someone would post. I already have my Zoot post ready, but need you guys to post what you do in the 2 weeks before I get Zoot.- Grand Moff Conway

[JediHunter]

OOC: Yes, it would be very nice if this thread didnt die... how should we shock it back to life? I know Mitth said something a bit earlier about a post order leading up to the battle with Zoot...

[Mitth_raw_nuruodo]

OOC: I will begin writting my next post next Tuesday at the latest. I've got a final tomorrow, and two more on Monday. I don't really have time to be here right now, but I'm too good at procrastinating not to be. The current plan is two weeks of prep. work leading up to a major battle w/ Zoot. We'll discuss that battle after people have posted. Tex will spend that time teaching me to use the Force. More likely he'll be teaching me how to focus my anger, and use it as a catalyst. (Email me about that, if you could, Tex. Just your thoughts on the matter.)

 

@JH: I need someone to talk about maintenance type affairs to my fleet. Making sure fighters are combat ready and so forth.

 

Krytos, your post is pretty well written, you can post it whenever you see fit. I'll PM you after my finals are done concerning joining us for the battle.

 

Tex, my understanding was that Paul talked with you and you agreed to spend the two weeks training me. I'd like to coordinate our posts as they're written. I don't know if the site chatroom is up and running at the moment, as I've been inactive long enough for my computer to forget my login details. Let's try to find a chatroom somewhere. PM/Email me your thoughts.

 

Tofu, I don't know what plans you have. Let Paul or myself know, or else just make up a post. I'd be willing to bet a lot of your time will be spent in a bacta tank.

 

Def, I don't know if you're even visiting the forums at this point. You know the plot line well enough at this point to write your own post w/out any external input. It also helps that you're the only actual person writting on Zoot's side.

 

Paul, you're already done for the build up. If I remember correctly, you've also got your battle post written up. Sit tight and coordinate for me for the next week or so. After that we can go back to the efficient dictatorship that existed when I was running things.

 

If I've forgotten anyone (I don't think I have, though), please don't be offended. Just read what I've written to the other people involved. If you have any questions you can talk to Paul. Otherwise you can ask me, just don't expect a quick response.

 

Happy posting, guys.

[DarthTofu]

I'll be bacta-ing for the build up, but upon further consideration (IE glancing at old tests) I realized that I really didn't need to take a break for the studying of algebra II as I simply made a series of stupid mistakes.

 

My Mid-terms are coming up this Friday and the following week, so my post time will be limited. I'll pop out of bacta come the arrival for the battle, fully-prepped with a new ear, new eye, new arm, new power circuit, and a large amount of anger to vent.

 

@Mitth: Does this mean that there's another Sith lord on our side of the war, now?

[Mitth_raw_nuruodo]

OOC: Indeed it does, Tofu. Indeed it does.

[Krytos]

OOC: Ok. I'll post mine tomorrow or the next day - I've just got see if I've got it still and then need to write the very start of it to fit in.

[Krytos]

The following takes place between 12pm and 12pm.

 

“Chloe, I need the code for the safety hatch – now! I’m running out of air, and the president is in danger!â€

[Paul]

This is going to be interesting since I get Zoot to serve me in less than two weeks. As I rule so shall Zoot serve the Empire. The rebels are DOOMED lol. - Grand Moff Conway

[DarthTofu]

New cannon! Yay! And two posts of it in a row! Oh wait, Connoway was just talking. It's supposed to be colored, mate.

 

Great post, Kryt- I love that line "Join us!"

"Does the dark side have a dental plan?"

 

So who do you fight now that you are lord *checks post* Klugheit. Hell, where did you come up with that name? It's rather odd sounding... But yes, who will you be confronting? I know Mitth and Def and are going to have something of a duel at some point, but that's because the two of them ran Q-branch. The only characters you've interacted with a tremendous amount are myself, Mitth, and Tex...

[Krytos]

OOC: Never fear Tofu, all things will be explained in my next post - and no-one need worry about getting involved just yet ... of course, the little homing becon is on, so someone should notice and decide to follow ... just don't arrive until after my next post

[Paul]

OOC: Tofu I am color blind dude so all my posts are the same so I can read them. Sorry I forgot to put OOC before that last post. - Grand Moff Conway

OOC: That's OK Paul, you can always hit the "EDIT" button to add the OOC. As for the color, use what works best for you

 

Excellent post Krytos! OOOoowww things are ... changing! Is humanity on the speck of dirt known as "Earth" doomed? We can only wait and see ...

[Mitth_raw_nuruodo]

OOC: Tex, I'll shoot you an email when I have a minute. We need to bounce some ideas off of eachother.
