Conflict in the pleiades and war.
12 Aug 2016Cosby714
The Pleiades has been my home for the past few days, I've been at obsidian orbital doing occasional missions. I heard earlier today that a conflict had broken out nearby in a system that I just so happened to have gone to frequently to get materials. I've decided to stay and see what would happen, but be ready to run if things got bad. I've had to lie about my connection to the federation to avoid trouble, but overall not much has happened. I'm currently about 50 km outside of pre laboratory because I found something that's curious out here, a barnacle. There's a barnacle with no spikes left with a Farragut class battlecruiser above it, and I'm wondering if this is why the federation is trying to take over this system. I highly doubt they're trying to "preserve" the barnacles as they keep claiming they are, because the barnacles that they are "preserving" all end up depleted. I believe they are trying to hide the mystery of the barnacles from everyone, but they're doing a horrible job of it. They know where these things come from and why they're here, but they're not going to tell. It's up to us to solve this mystery. Is this going to be the catalyst of the war between the empire and federation? I believe it will be, they've been looking for excuses to go at each other's throats for years now and now they have one. For the time being I will remain here watching the barnacle, ensuring that the federation know that everyone knows it's there. I think this whole conflict is pointless, we've got actual living alien life forms here that are possibly sentient and calling out to whatever made them, and if whatever species made them appears and sees this? then we're just going to piss them off. Sometimes I wish I wasn't human, but I can't change that now. Anyway, I'm done talking for now.
