THE COMING OF TARANIS - 21 November
Nothing says safe and friendly like naming a giant unknown alien object after a Celtic god of thunder, but here we are! Dr Pope and the crew of the Kingfisher know that 'Taranis' (or 'Mr big Zappy Zap' if you're afraid of fancy words) is going to hurtle through the Hyades Sector YO-Q b5-1 system and they're making preparations to communicate with them when they get here. They're all set up with their boomboxes and minidisc players to serenade the encroaching anomaly and see if it's down to boogie.


KINGFISHER MEGASHIP MAKES FINAL PREPARATIONS - 22 November
Thanks to the hard work of people who really believe in optimism, the Kingfisher has all the materials, supplies and tamborines it needs to go out and meet the Thargoid anomaly! So many people are really looking forward to going out and hugging the ancient alien race they just tried to overwhelmingly slaughter just a few months ago! There is absolutely no chance this can go wrong!


PRAISE FOR THE PRO-PEACE PROJECT - 23 November
The idea of claps not zaps has really resonated with the galaxy as people look towards the Kingfisher as a bountiful chance at peace. Dalton "No I am really busy but I'll be there in spirit, honest" Chase has applauded the work that has gone in to meeting Taranis. Does this valiant crusade to spread love and joy to a new species, who has so far shown at best indifference to the human race, mean we can all finally become bestest buds in the whole wide universe?


KINGFISHER MEGASHIP VANISHES - 24 November
...Ah...


XENO-PEACE SUPPORTERS KILLED BY THARGOIDS - 25 November
Yeah, so, seems the Thargoids may not really have been open to talking after all. The Kingfisher has been destroyed, those upon it lost to the stars and the galaxy is turning on pro-peace and pro-Thargoid supporters once again. As the human race continues to point fingers at one another the Celtic god of thunder gets closer and closer.

...A storm is coming...

That's it for this week. Join us next time as humanity flounders helplessly against inevitability and all your hopes and dreams turn to sand.

One question: Is the fact, that Thargoid Sensors were found in the hold of the Kingfisher a bug? Simple yes or no suffices.

If it's just part of the "attacked megaship loot table" (or whatever the proper term is) we can disregard it as not relevant to the story. If not, that's a clear indicator of sabotage!

My suspicion, like always when these things happen, is that we weren't expected to find it as quickly as we did.

Many many megaships contain sensors or sap-8 cores etc for that matter

Private military convoys carry them too

So megaships are useless against the Stargoids? Time to roll-out a completely new carrier type which is nothing but an anti xeno gun and missile platform and carries swarms of antixeno fighters.
At 4 times the size and three times the price (of an existing FC), this new Thargoid munching, goidgrinder will be sure to impress your friends.
