In six pages this thread has accomplished very little of its intended goal, but has provided me with a very high laugh-per-post ration. I'm very proud.

Originally by: Benco97 I think it means that Orcas will be getting a new ability; They'll be able to "scoop" occupied ships from space into a special refinery bay and output the raw minerals into the corp hangar.
I can see it now, great fleets of Orcas roaming through space, leaping mercilessly upon any smaller vessel and integrating their mass into a base stockpile. Once the stockpile is large enough a new Orca will be produced.
The Orca families will be presided over by a single female Rorqual, bloated and nigh motionless she sits in at the Orca POS and oversees the hunts. All female Orca have the ability to become the Rorqual but not many survive long enough to see this event, should the mother Rorqual detect that one of her young is coming of age she will be cast out or worse, cannibalized by the Rorqual herself, her mass reintegrated into the stockpiles.
Every three years the Rorquals mysteriously vanish for a period of time, sometimes days, and upon their return they are extremely tired and many even bear signs of combat, Nobody has ever learned where these behemoths of industry go or what they do but many hypothesize that there is some form of hierarchy above the Rorqual though none are clear upon it's form.
Non-capital industrial class vessels will become extinct with few being able to match the sheer ferocity of the enraged Rorqual in head on combat, her massive bulk winning most fights by simply crushing the enemy into defeat, her orca brood rushing to the carcass to salvage and consume it's components.
The male rorqual has never been seen and is said by some to not even exist, a fanciful hoax made up by liars and charlatans though there have been unconfirmed sightings of headless IteronV's found in an abandoned Rorqual POS, could this be some indication of the beasts' mating habits? One thing is clear, we're not going to find out any time soon.

Legend has it that the sight of a black dog forebodes of ill, death and mishap.
The ancient legends follow many accounts of weary travellers who witness terrible events or misfortune shortly after sighting a lone shape of a black dog.
Of course, in the time in which we live to see a dog would only occur in a special viewing forum, zoos if you like.
Dogs and their many variants were systematically exterminated throughout the galaxy after the genome re sequencing project æErosionÆ failed with vicious and deadly consequences. Working from ancient A 1-Mb resolution radiation hybrid map of canine genome, renegade scientist from BioFire decided to rework the ædogÆ into a more controllable and ferocious skirmish weapon for planetary clearance.
They succeeded on one of those two counts. The specimen dogs mutated into a viral nightmare, a galaxy wide decree was levied, Bio weapons were deployed, and the canine menace was obliterated.
Trillions of people lost there lives brutally as H1 N4-17 virus spread at unprecedented speed throughout the galaxy infecting any dog and turning it into a resilient, ferocious, self repairing harbinger of death. All attempts to quarantine canines failed to halt viral progression. In fact far too late to make any difference scientists found that the viral component lay dormant in humans and that was how the galaxy was infected at alarming speed.
Of course thatÆs all an aside from my main tale, itÆs purpose only to point out that these days if you see a dog or even thought you saw a dog it will spark a response at the highest level.
My ships name is Black Dog, a small fast Crow class interceptor. On this occasion I was transporting some valuable blue prints for a newly emerging Tech3 subsystem. As I sped my way into the remote reaches of æOuter PassageÆ I became aware of my own fragility, I know my clone is up to date so no real harm can come to me, but..but I feel vulnerable.
A cold chill flamingos its way along my spine and culminates in the hair on the nape of my neck standing proud, I donÆt like it, not one bit.
I trust this most primitive of instincts and instantly get busy mixing a synth booster ****tail that will no doubt results in several days of bone crushing headache. Fireing up my advanced scanning array and feeling confident I can locate my pray I scan..scan again, overheat and overdrive every piece of electronics this tub has..nothing, not a single ping. Not a single ship in this whole god forsaken system. The chill decides an encore is in order. ôChrist! IÆm tweaking so badö I think out loud, the sound of my own voice make me jump and my arms straighten like IÆve just been given twenty thousand good reasons to give up my trade secrets, but that really is another story.
When was it?.. the last time I slept? Thinking..nine days ago. The boosters and chemical ****tails are destroying my ability to think. ôSurvive..assess ..ok its just a feelingö my own words offer no comfort, the dampness of my palms betray my inner fortitude, I donÆt believe them, itÆs not just a feeling, its not! Scan, scan again, diagnostics run, scanànothing. I look out into the vast distance just to see a star blink out. Now that doesnÆt happen unless something has obscured the line of sight.
All cosmos reports show no Supernova action in this region. It must be a large æroid pulled clear of its retaining gravity. My best instincts tell me æyou have a valuable cargo, warp to gate and get the hell out of this nightmareÆ, job done.
My worst trait is to ignore what is blindingly obvious, I chart a quick course to see if I can get a better look and punch in some co ordinates, my engines whine into life. Runing more diagnostics seems like a good plan, reload my launchers, check my scram and make a soothing cup of coffee.
Ok, IÆm feeling better, IÆm back in control..IÆm an old hand at this, hard core combat pilot, nothing to worry about.

Blink, blink, bli..bli..bli..blink I watch the light in the distance, hypnotic in its constant pulse. A jolt paralyses my senses, the realisation of a blinking star..ItÆs a pattern; something is crossing the star light at regular intervals.
Now IÆm no fan of dance, ancient, modern or any kind but the chill in my spine had returned and is banging out to some old school drum and bass so I started moving with the beat, it was the drums, the beat, the rhythm of an impending conflict, the cacophony of death. SCAN..nothing.
Dark and cold envelops me, power is down yet I am accelerating across boundless fields of space. No tractor beam could haul me; I am millions of clicks away? Fear paralyses me, an image through my viewer, a dog, half the size of a planet, not an Image its real..a giant dog red eyes fixed on me with a purpose, malevolence exuding in quiet menace.
My whole body is shaking with fear, my Crow groaning under the enormous strain, gasses begin to vent, alarms should be sounding but no power arrives to aid their siren.
Definition in the surrounding clouds as I draw ever closer to my captor, resolution in my eyes as they take on board what IÆm seeing and resolution in my heart as it thuds itÆs final beat.
The cloud became a seething, living mass of every kind of drone; each wisp of the cloud made of countless salivating OrcaÆs backed up by an armada of mother Rorquals.
All rendered seemingly pointless and ineffective in the shadow of the black dog.

Every three years the Rorquals mysteriously vanish for a period of time, sometimes days, and upon their return they are extremely tired and many even bear signs of combat, Nobody has ever learned where these behemoths of industry go or what they do but many hypothesize that there is some form of hierarchy above the Rorqual though none are clear upon it's form.
