The Cybernetic News Service

[Corellion]

Seeing as no other CyCon members have suggested anything, I guess I'll start the dialogue for CyCon's News Service. The only thing I can come up with right now is the Daily Data Download (DDD, or 3D for you graphic programmers), except it probably won't be daily. Any other suggestions?

Plus, we can hack the other news networks' public sites when we want to publish some planet-wide news! No need to expend resources for our own. Much more efficient!

[Voltaire]

Why anyone would even need a news source other than PRAVDA I’ll never know.

Your news stories are likely to come out as

10010000100010011011000000010000010000000100011111 10000011110000
01110001000010000100001000001011111100000111001100 00011000000010

Avast I hope none of them yar digits is a banned word

[Corellion]

Seeing as there is some misunderstanding here, the news service would not actually be in this form. This is merely a translation of terms for you without cybernetic implants. The actual news service would be a direct data download into each of our brains. Much like how our leader, Aki-Zeta Five talks when dealing with other factions... we do not actually use primitive verbal communication to converse amongst ourselves. Instead, we transmit our thoughts and ideas directly to one another.

And, in responce to your query as to whether those were banned words...

Hm, that sounds interesting... That technology may be very useful for the hive... Just for "security reasons", of course.

The Ministery of Information and the Ministery of State Security would be please to meet your trade representatives in order to negotiate about the conditions...

[Voltaire]

The Peoples' Advisory Council would welcome technological sharing between out two states, for through technology we improve the lives of the people. Research is crucial for the revolution.

Due to the nature of our two factions and the ultimate goal of our two factions (That, of course, being perfection) it seems only logical that the CNS and the University news agency initiate a co-operative center in both of our capitals to ensure that our citizens are well informed of current technological advancements, military movements, geo-political events, among other things.

A relationship with the Hivonian news agency, "Pravada", would seem illogical as their goals and ours cannot co-exist peacefully.

[Hercules]

We Pirates get on with everybody and we like to visit your Taverns, Marinas, Ports and banks.

[DeathByTheSword]

hmmm lets wait with all this stuff until we have our own forum and get the game going...making alliances right now is useless and a waste of CyCon rescources.

We extend the hands of friendship in the name of the people and the Party and you blatantly reject it without second through? Comrades, Communism has always been about peace, let this here show that it was not us, but the capitalists, that instill conflict.

I blatanly reject it for you are a police state and an insult to all the intellects of the world for a police state cannot cultivate science....Only fear.

Therefore, I will bite your hand and give you disease so that your people may be LIBERATED (And, of course, join the really really nice University of their own free will, of course )

*Bite*

Friends Cyborgs! We applaud your courageous experiment into the nature of conciousness and mind. While we, as researchers, feel it's better to use lab rats than to be ones, we will nevertheless take the opportunity to carefully evaluate the exemple you set before us. Taking part of your news service will, I expect, be rewarding as well as enlightening.

Now, if you excuse me, I have to get back to the cloning vats. I hear our new, improved Bigger Boob Britney is coming online any moment now.

Police state?

We are a People’s Democratic Dictatorship.

CyCon people. I have used PMs for the minute, until we have a private forum. Though I like this As for a name, 3D seems good.
