In HFO Post 16, the Void Ranger named Lobo Ono is still observing the happenings of the galactic supercluster within the Deep Void, and observes the spear that was thrown by Judge in HFO Post 14. He reports to Fladnag the White using the void-particle relay waves back to the Outer Galaxies. He suggests the use of the Nova Shroud, surprising Fladnag as excessive. Nevertheless, he is put into contact with Inquisitor Delta at the Nova Shroud HQ. While Inquisitor Delta warns against the use of the Nova Shroud upon an entire supercluster, as the scheme was designed only for a single solar system, Lobo Ono insists that creatures of the Deep Void are being drawn in and will overwhelm the area soon. The shroud was designed to destroy a system by teleporting energy from the heart of the NeSiverse through portals, however Lobo Ono proposes inverting the design to drawn energies from the area into the heart; thereby concealing the entire supercluster from view of the Deep Void denizens.
Post[]
The Void Ranger Lobo Ono is zooming along on his space bike, when he swerves suddenly to avoid an angelic spear hurtling through space at unstoppable momentum.
Lobo Ono: Bloody planetbound beings shouldn't fight in space. They always forget Newtonian physics[Ext 1].
His mind continues to work through the possibilities as he continues driving - piloting? what do you call it when someone is maneuvering a motorcycle that flies in freaking space? - and he opens a channel.
Lobo Ono: Fladnag.
Void Rangers, being the elite of the elite, and charged with what is more or less the protection of the NeSiverse itself from deadly exocosmic predators, have unfettered access to many beings, including the grand vizier and majordomo to Big O. Lobo Ono's voice resonates along a specially designed void-particle relay wave, back to the Outer Galaxies.
Fladnag the White: Fladnag here. What have you found?
Lobo Ono: Initial hypotheses correct, but no indication of how or why. Connect me to the Nova Shroud techs.
Fladnag the White: The... Nova Shroud? You think that necessary?
Lobo Ono blinks. It's a measure of how terminal a measure that the Nova Shroud is, that someone, even Fladnag, will question a Void Ranger's recommendation.
Lobo Ono: No time. Listen in, but connect.
A few moments later, a new voice carries to Lobo Ono's ear as he daringly speeds through an asteroid shower with impunity.
Inquisitor Delta: This is Nova Shroud HQ. I understand this operation is to commence. What's the target?
Lobo Ono: Premature. There is a translocated supercluster in the Deep Void. It's a beacon to Void denizens - all that mass, energy, force, and dimension shining through the nether.
There is a slight pause.
Inquisitor Delta: The Nova Shroud was never designed for something so... large. Or drastic.
Lobo Ono: Can it be done?
Inquisitor Delta: Hypothetically. Will require Void-capable transport to deliver the portal relays. A LOT of Void-capable transport. Even tesseracts can only hold so much. Enough to blanket an entire supercluster...
His voice is simultaneously awed at the notion, and subdued that that much life might have to be destroyed.
Lobo Ono: Can the portals be inverted?
Inquisitor Delta: I'm not certain what you mean.
Lobo Ono: Instead of destructive energy emitting from the portal relays into the supercluster, the portals intaking the various dimensional fluctuations from the supercluster.
Inquisitor Delta: You want to hide the supercluster.
Lobo Ono: As an alternative to termination. Feasible?
Inquisitor Delta: Theoretically. On it.
Project Nova Shroud is an ambitious weapon, never before tested, and not actually designed for anything bigger than a single solar system, which is massive enough as it is. Mobile satellite stations, equipped with giant teleportal emitters, surround a target, and emit devastating cosmic energy from the blazing heart of the NeSiverse in a devastating, all-consuming sweep of power that can obliterate planets and suns with ease.
No one has ever called upon it before, such a terrible resort it is, and Lobo Ono hopes that he will not be the first to order the operation's initiation...
