Yeah, who discovers the subversion of Ganymede's sensor net needs discussion.
Finally got off my ass and typed up what I see as a basic timeline for events. Be aware that it includes a few things from my timeline for A.C., and I've tried to make it open enough to be fiddled with by everyone.
Pre-Con
Boskonians meet about WFC. Vote to combine forces and attack.
Space Patrol supporters finalise arguments for and defences against setup.
Personal: A.C. gets late slot (day 6) for announcement of Re-Modding Process
Day 1
Arrivals. Groups meet and greet, get set for business.
Boskonians start moving on phase 1, subverting the Ganymede sensor net
Day 2
Panels on Space Patrol and OGJ effectiveness start.
Assault phase 2, freighter carrying Reavers and Berserkers, and mounted with more jamming equipment, leaves Boskone One as the main force finishes gathering.
Day 3
Arguments at Con go on
Main attack force leaves Boskone One
Late in day freighter arrives at Jovian system
Day 4
Personal: Early in day A.C. and Haruhi meet for first time face to face. Haruhi tries to get A.C. to agree to some plan. A.C. turns her down flat, publically scaring Haruhi. Further comments seem to imply A.C. knows a secret about Haruhi (Authors note: She doesn’t, the comments were about something else), which scares the rest of the SOS-Dan.
Maintenance finds evidence of tampering in equipment.
Boskone fleet enters Jovian space. Start jamming comms.
(Question: Do the Fen repair the sensor net enough to get a warning of fleet? Or do they ask for cross-link feeds from Fenships with good sensors e.g. Midnight, Ptichka, Stallion, etc…)
Scene:
The tech just looked at her screen, not comprehending what she was seeing for a moment.
To the side of her, her manager was also blank with shock. Surely what was on the display could NOT be real. Then he dove for a row of buttons on the next console.
At some time in the past, some helpful soul had labelled the buttons for quick recognition. They were “PANIC!”, “PANIC MOAR!”, “AIIEEEE!!!!”, “WTF?!?”, and “Egon’s gone Bye Bye!”.
The manager’s dive hit all of them at once.
Scene End:
Cue mad dash for ships.
Insane furball ensues, with freighter disabled and drifting. Freighter disgorges dropships. Fen try to stop dropships.
As the battle turns in Fen’s favour, Boskone Command get freighter to vent, putting on collision course with Serenity Valley.
Scene (Personal):
“We could use the Rail Cannon.” Lebia suggested, mind focused on the ECCM battle.
Eddie calculated all the variables.
“Negative. Can not build power fast enough.” It was the current limitation on the Rail Cannon. And right now it sucked.
A.C. dashed past the cockpit of the Boskonian vessel, allowing her fully extended sword to slice the top third off.
“Then pulse charge the bloody capacitors then!” She snarled, dodging fire both friendly and mostly hostile and straining her flight pack to do so.
For want of anything better, Eddie tried it.
“Power curve acceptable. Beginning run.”
The Stallion turned, its rail and coil guns clearing space as she aimed directly at the drifting freighter. Seconds ticked by as the capacitors filled to capacity. Eddie made sure all friendlies got clear.
“Power level at 98%. 99%. Full power now.”
Caught up in the moment as she was, A.C. swung her sword arm across her chest in a dramatic fashion (incidentally bisecting another enemy ship) and bellowed over the com-net…
“FIRE!”
From the outside, huge shock cones spat out of the Stallion’s engines as Eddie threw them to emergency power. A second later the Rail Cannon mounted to the top of the ship spoke for the first time, the immense recoil nearly stopping the ship dead, with a green arcing muzzle flash as the vaporised ice used to protect the rails from friction was ejected.
Sensors screamed as the diamondoid bolt blazed across the space between the Stallion and the freighter at one percent the speed of light.
At 5 kilos, the bolt hit the freighter with a kinetic energy equivalent to almost 5.4 kiloton’s of TNT. The impact point atomised with a flash, with some of the cloud of atoms fissioning and fusing. The shock front passed into the freighter, disintegrating the structure and igniting the remaining atmosphere into plasma. Both elements tore through the ship at ultra-sonic velocities, instantaneously killing any remaining crew before reducing them to humidity.
In less than 90 milliseconds, the 2000 tonne freighter was reduced to a rapidly expanding and cooling cloud of atoms.
Scene End:
Bokonians routed.
Day 5
Arguments on response.
WFC debuted.
Personal: A.C. tracks down origin of attack via comm. logs.
Victory party?
Day 6
OGJ reorganised, Space Patrol instituted.
Boskonians officially made ‘Threat to Humanity’.
Fleet Operation Attila organised.
Personal: Haruhi forces A.C. to be lead on Ground Assault. A.C. promoted by Supers over her objections.
Day 7
Final announcements.
People leave to War.
Edit:
And Rob? Serenity-Con's 2013 not 2014. No Yuu, or pregers Leda.
