We just might have to use the orbital (extra Galactic) laser as we have not got to use it ever

Don't mind me setting this vacuum from suck to blow...
And don't mind me loading it with asteroids...

[HarkintheMantis]

Firing Chryssalids from the MIT manned cannon
Remeber
!!!Kill Civilians, Starve Chryssalids!!!

[stylesrj]

Everyone, get your Flying Suits! Ha I'd like to see you try and turn my Mantis warriors into Zombies while I float one level above you

[HarkintheMantis]

Ahhhhhh Man
you ruined my plan
oh well
we will just fire the Thermo Nuclear chickens because "War... War never changes"

[stylesrj]

Also, don't mind me if I launch some Tentaculants carrying Brainsucker launchers into your cargo hold. Your Flying Suits won't save you there
Unless of course your crew happens to be all androids... but considering your attitude towards machines, you're at least partially organic... like Engies!

Wait, what's that warping in? No! It cannot be!

We have rescued prisoner. Mission: Escape from ship.
Calcul- WARNING. Ship warp signature detected - EXTREME WARNING. Activating Code 2764367RED. Contacting Engi brigade. Transmitting distress call. We must protect the message...

Beam Drone: To be or not to- Wait, what is that I see... Doomed we are poor souls that we be. The Lanius Dreadknot, Devourer of galaxies, is here.

Translator: Hello...Fleshy beings...we are being here to...um...destroy...what's the word...all of you. Apologies.

[stylesrj]

We've been such fools, messing around with the plot that we forgot about our true enemy: The Lanius Dreadknot from the First Page!

Wait, what's that warping in... it's... no, by the Hive Queen no!

It's another Dreadknot... and another! There's a whole fleet of them.

Guys, we're going to have to blow up the sun and destroy the warp beacon. We can't let them escape this part of the sector. It'll be difficult though, but if we all remember Freespace 2, it's possible! Dive! Dive! Hit the burners pilots!
