BREAKING THE BANK - Community Soaps

The Magic SOB forum is for posts of story sequences that are frequently vignette-based. Put those here while actual battle reports can go in Reports From the Field.
You must talk like James T. Kirk in this forum at all times. Leonard Nimoy is fine too.

BREAKING THE BANK - Community Soaps

Post by Archduke » Tue May 30, 2017 6:18 pm

As you may know, the space Austrians recently fired an ancient space weapon at a bunch of major banks, in the hopes of wiping out much of the galaxy's financial system. Now it's up to you to make soaps about if/how the banks survive. Do they get blown up? Do they manage something? It's up to the people making the soaps! Nothing is canon unless approved, and I basically have no control over any of this, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun.
So Soap Away!!!

YAY! SCIENCE! Now I'm wondering, is there such thing as a mini-black hole missile? That should be a thing to block long-range lasers during ship warfare.

Silver dust/positioning yourself on the opposite side of the planet could fix that for you. The immortals are famous for their black hole tech

Why would you do that though? Black holes are more fun. Putting yourself on the other side of the planet does not provide killing

Aw. How much better would it have been if all this text had been spent on something other than nothing happening at all.

Fingers crossed for something happening behind the scenes to reveal that this wasn't the non-event that the Trattorians are pretending.

Yes, but ... then the whole Trattorian empire caught a cold and died.

It was smothered in layers of bureaucratic language but Trattoria and GS are totally ready to go to war with Space Austria in retaliation...as soon as I physically am able to do such a plot line.
Waaaaaiitt a minute... get Space Austria and Trattoria fighting in the Magikalennik war (if that's what we're calling that thing with the Kult of Darkness) and we can have even more participation... yes? no? :P :warhead:
