Koprulu Sector

Above Shiloh

Sitting in a Terran Battlecruiser was BloodLord. Owner of sixty two Sectors he was actually one of the more conserved Players as he was still mostly Human. Dressed in a light brown duster and a white shirt underneath with black cargo pants he wasn't as striking or strange as others but what he lacked in style he made up for in ingenuity and tactics. Turning to the AI captain. "Matt, get some of the raiding parties ready."

BloodLord's armies were made up of Terran and Protoss units from Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty. Mostly a Guerilla and small strike player BloodLord had carved out a small sector of space he affectionally call the Koprulu Sector. While others used giant armies or grand fortresses to win he used small surgical strikes and patience.

"What forces shall I get ready, sir?"

"Reapers and diamondback mostly and toss in a few Ghosts as well. Say around a hundred Reapers, forty diamondback, and a dozen Ghosts. Give them a heavy transport and some SCVs."

Matt looked at him, "Sir why that large? They could easily fit in a small transport and why SCVs if we are going into a fight?" "It's not the plan. These new species are getting everyone into a frenzy at new opponents. Even Brodur is getting his armies ready and he has bided his time. With him on the move it won't be long until the Rushers start mobilizing against the new aliens or against Brodur for revenge."

"Won't we need larger forces than?" BloodLord shook his head as he watched a video showing several Immortals patrol on the planet below with a platoon of Terran marines and marauders. "I want to use the fighting to cover our troops recovering resources from the battles while they bash each other around. I intend to let them weaken each other than we will move in and claim the sectors around the new species as the others start their little wars in thier systems."

Matt nodded as he relayed the orders to the armies. "What will we do if they are caught in the act?"

BloodLord laughed. "Fight of course. After all, War Never Changes."

Terminus Systems

Unknown System

A part of the Patrol Fleet was slowly moving through the system watching for threats as they looked for materials and resources for their dying fleet. Things had been hectic since the discovery of these "Humans", no one knew other than they were locked in an unending war waged with machines that has waged for centuries. Several planets and fleets had been attacked because the Humans wanted to challenge the new "opponents". Luckily only pirates and slavers had been attacked after the Turian patrol fleet that had initiated First Contact. Still the Admiralty Board decided to stay vigilant to make sure the Fleet was safe.

Ket'Rah Vas Moreh was operating the scanners when he received an alert of an unknown around what appeared to be a large debris field. "Captain, I am getting active signatures from that Debris Field. They don't match anything we have listed."

The crew was nervous at that since that most likely meant it was a Human fleet. Captain Daro'Den vas Moreh quickly walked over to his station. "What are they doing now?"

"It appears that they are just mining or collecting the debris. Wait one signature is headed right for us!" At that the crew immediately was prepared for anything. Suddenly hovering in front of the viewport stood a large blocky machine. It had a humanoid figure with two large blocky turbines on it's back allowing it to effortlessly move back and forth in front of them. It's face was simple with two eerie red eyes and a resparator with two pipes running from where it's mouth should be to it's back.

After a moment of both sides studying each other the figure lifted a hand to its ear and nodded a moment. Ket'Rah was surprised when a large ship appeared above the debris field and contacted them. "Captain, the ship is hailing us." He tried to sound calm but a little unease trickled through.

Daro'Den nodded. "On screen." The screen flickered for a minute until a figure appeared. The Human was simple compared to the last couple Humans seen. He, they were pretty sure it was a he, stood about six-foot five inches and had black fur covering his head and wore a simple light brown duster and black pants.

"Hello captain, I am the BloodLord, owner of seven Sectors in the Great war. I hope I am not intruding in your territory. I was just going to harvest some of this material, I will leave you some to pay a tribute for illegally entering your space. I don't wish to fight you."

At that last sentence the bridge crew sighed in relief. Daro spoke calmly, "This isn't our space but we were hoping to harvest some of that material for the Flotilla if you didn't mind." Daro hoped that since this BloodLord didn't just immediately start shoot that this could end civilly.

They watched anxiously as BloodLord seem to consider it, "I see nothing wrong with that as long as we stay on opposite sides. I am almost done anyway."

Suddenly alarms went off on the Quarian's bridge. Ket yelled to the captain, "Batarian slavers have appeared on our scopes sir!"

Daro yelled, "All hands to battle stations. I repeat, all hands to battle stations." They watched as BloodLord seemed shocked for a moment until he spoke, "Slavers? There are actually Slavers in your space?" When Daro nodded they saw a change appear on his face. It went from calm to angry. "I hate to idea of slavery, hell we abolished it nearly three thousand years ago."

Suddenly four large ships appeared out of no where in front of the Quarians. "My battle cruisers will take care of these scum." With that BloodLord ended the transmission. The front ship flew toward the twelve slavers and opened fire on them. The ATA laser batteries and ATS laser batteries opened up on the only cruiser as the second battlecruiser prepared the Yamato Cannon. The first took several hits to its hardened plasma shield but shook it off as it veered left so the second had a clear shot straight down the gun barrel. The focused energy hit the cruiser's power plant and detonated it. Several Vikings and phoenixes headed out from the battlecruiser and fired at the frigates escorting it. The joint fire destroyed six frigates as the remained slavers turned from the Quarians and concentrated on the battlecruisers.

A large tear opened in space and two Protoss Void Rays flew in firing their prism beams carving the ships apart. Once the last of the ships blew screaming the Quarians stood in shock and awe at the firepower those ships used. "Keelah," one of the operators whispered as the Human ships just flew off away from the Flotilla.

Daro shook off the shock when the Human BloodLord hailed them again. "Well that was a little disappointing but I am finished here. You can have the rest, I know it's not much." As he signed off the Human ship that had worked disappeared. The crew look at the debris field. "Not much" was about 400 tons of raw material and salvageable pieces of tech that could either be studied or sold for a small fortune to the Council.

Daro muttered, "Keelah se'lai. Everyone get started on mining this field while I contact the rest of the Fleet." Also maybe get some alcohol. He thought as he imagined the coming firestrom from the Admirality Board.
