Unfortunately, when we found the Melnorme, we didn’t have the scan record for the rainbow world in Epsilon Draconis. Well, ‘ambush’ may be too strong of a word, since 2 light presses on the fire button rendered a cloud of dust where 2 Thraddash vessels had previously occupied space, and we continued to Alpha Apodis. We left Delta Draconis, but we were barely outside the system when we were ambushed by 2 Torches. Captain out.Ĭaptain’s Log – – Alpha Apodis – Status: Green I think the chances are actually much less, considering we would probably die from sheer boredom! Plus I would feel bad about killing so many of them for no good reason! We went back a few more times to see what else they had to say, and after destroying a single torch each time, we used the emergency warp to escape and then return, but there wasn’t much to learn, other than knowledge of their space battle computer, the ZK-53, which calculated we had an estimated 1.6% chance of eliminating their entire fleet. Hmmm… so the Thraddash are keeping track of how many of their ships we destroy, huh? Interesting. However, when we arrived in orbit, a massive wall of torches was there to greet us, and their guard leader, who called himself Korgk the battle-slave foreman, informed us that it is considered utterly stupid for us to attempt attacks on their home planet, and therefore any kills we achieved there would not “count” towards our tally. We took care of each contingent with no trouble: the 2nd group had 4 ships, followed by a pair, then a large group of 5, and lastly, another pair, for a grand total of 16 kills.Įven with the numerous waves that kept confronting us, it still wasn’t much of a battle it could be more accurately compared to the space equivalent of “skeet shooting”, whereas the Thraddash were like clay pigeons getting blasted by our Hellbore shotguns! PULL!Īfter the last set of torches, we waited around for a while, but it seemed we had destroyed all available Thraddash vessels, at least all of the patrols that were deployed within the system, so we headed to the homeworld to fight some more. Our first battle was against 3 torches, and as soon as that skirmish was finished, a long line of every patrol in the system surrounded us and moved in to attack. We’ve battled the Thraddash quite often, but it seems we’ve ran out of Torches to blast within this system, other than those around their homeworld.
