    HIVE GOES TO WAR!

    DataJack Roze, leader of the rogue faction the "Data Angels", has declared the Human Hive 'An assault on free- thinking peoples of Planet!' Then she declared open war on the Human Hive.
    "It's obvious that she is insane." Commented Director of intellegence Comrade HongHu, "We all know that the Hiverian people think for themselves. How could they not when they have the fair and balanced reporting of PRAVDA?" How indeed?
    But fear not, comrades. There is no threat to you. For The Data Angels are very much the inferior combatant in this war. They will succumb to our superior troops and speeders. They will run away from our mighty legions! Glory to the Hive!

    HIVE GOVERNMENT DISSOLVED!

    Cheif corrispondant Comrade Honghu was there through the thick of it to give us this report of the great chairman's Great Leap Forward:
    The Great Leap Forward in 2145 followed by three years of natural disaster had become the biggest economic failure in the history of the Human Hive. In late 2146, amid signs of rising popular restiveness, the CCC admitted that the favorable production report had been exaggerated. The mismanagement of the Hive politburo had led to serious economic consequences. Food shortage was experienced in multiple cities resulting mass reduction of population. Scientists were assigned to act as doctors at the presence of famine resulting absolutely freeze of technological development. Mass amount of workers were ordered to immigrate for cultivation of new areas, only to find destination unreachable and/or unworkable and workers were forced to re-immigrate to original cities. This had led to exhaustion and demoralization of the peasantry and of the intellectuals, not to mention the party and government cadres at all levels.

    In the mean time Deputy Chairman Jamski, seeking the opportunity that Chairman Voltaire was out of office for his South Hive Tour, decided to seize the military power in his hands and try to oust Chairman Voltaire in a coup. Between November 17th to 25th, 2146, attempts of attacks on Voltaire were carried out when he tried to go back to his office at the Hive. Chairman Voltaire was able to avoid the assasination because of advance intelligence reports. In these nervous days guards were placed every 10-20 Meters on Voltaire's route.

    Following the crush of Jamski’s counter revolution activities, Chairman Voltaire started the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, to restore the vitality of communism in the Human Hive. Chairman Voltaire sought to dismantle the complex governmental structure that had developed after the establishment of the Human Hive. All government officials and intellectuals were sent out to work in the fields alongside the peasants. Tens of thousands were executed. Voltaire was named supreme commander of the nation and army. Comrade HongHu advocated restructure of the government starting with relinquishing of the party’s long-standing supply system, which guarantees high level officials with monthly supply of xeno-doughnuts, unlimited visits to Japanese girls and free passes to the enlightment centers. “If the supply system has played an important role in ensuring the final victory of the revolution, why should it be replaced now in its entirety by the wage system?” She was quoted to say, “....this is because the supply system is contradictory to the principles of 'to each according to his work' and 'equal pay for equal work'. ...He who performs better labor and does better work gets a better pay, and equal work will earn equal pay. In this way, one can be caused to interest himself, from the standpoint of material interests, in the results of his labor and to link up his personal interests with the overall interest of the state...”

    The restructuring movement is deemed to be successful. The Human Hive has started to recover from earlier disorder and chaos. Newly elected officials, although still lacking in experience, are working day and night with great enthusiasm. The citizens of the Hive is in high spirit entering Chairman Voltaire’s birthday celebration.

    The Supreme People's Court of the Human Hive
    In the matter of People of the Human Hive vs. the Jamski Counter-Revolutionary Movement
    Case No. 2145-0001

    Report and Order

    I. History of the case

    On Nov 19, 2145, the Central Continuing Committee of the Human Hives ordered that “the Supreme People’s Court take on the matter of investigating and ruling on the matter of the coup”.



    Upon receiving the court notice, comrade Jamski stated that he would represent himself and later plead not guilty.

    Based upon principle of “not guilty until proved” the court has offered the defendant due process. The prosecution and the defendant each had opening statement and opportunities of questioning of the witness. The witness also received questions from the bench. Both sides waived closing statement.

    The court was closed on Nov 25, 2145.

    II. Discussions

    The prosecution stated that comrade Jamski had violated the Constitution and Laws by attempting to overthrow the legitimate government.



    The defendant argued that Comrade Jamski was not guilty because he was simply “fill[ing] in for the Chairman while he was away” and “defend[ing] the people from the dictaorship of the military”.

    The defendant has successfully established evidence that the Chairman had not been active during the period of the aforementioned “coup”. However, the court finds that the defendant was not simply carrying out the duty of the deputy chairman to fill in for the Chairman.



    The court doesn’t believe that the job responsibility of the deputy chairman constitutes actions of deposing the chairman and sentencing him to prison. The above quotations from the defendant clearly showed that the defendant was not simply carrying out the duty of the deputy chairman. The court finds that the defendant’s argument is invalid.

    The defendant further claimed that he could not be responsible for overthrowing the government because he “was the government”. The court finds this statement shows nothing but the swelling of the defendant’s egoism.

    During the trial the defendant admitted that he had attempted a coup although it was not “planned”. He also admitted that during the coup he had skimmed Kody’s post and posted a worse turn than the Kody turn. However, the defendant maintains that he was not doing that for his own interest and that the result of his actions had “awak[en] the Hive from its slumbers”, therefore his actions are “the correct behavior”.

    The court concludes that the defendant had good intentions but chosen the wrong path. Had he recognized what he did was wrong, the court would be considering the minimum penalty. However, the defendant had not shown any remorse. In fact the defendant had already been planning another coup.



    IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:

    1. That Comrade Jamski is not guilty of Sabotage of the socialist system.
    2. That Comrade Jamski is guilty of Violation of the Constituion and Laws.
    3. That Comrade Jamski be awarded 30 years of hard labor in specially constructed SPAM factory.
    4. That Comrade Jamski is guilty of ibid while in public office.
    5. That Comrade Jamski be banned from any superier government positions of the Human Hive.
    6. That Comrade Jamski is guilty of High treason against the people.
    7. That Comrade Jamski be awarded with 10 years hard labour in the Hive farms where he could contribute to the improvement of teraforming.
    8. That Comrade Jamski is guilty of High treason against the State.
    9. That Comrade Jamski’s action has brought unrecoverable adverse effect to the welfare of the Human Hive.
    10. That Comrade Jamski be awarded maximum penalty and be exciled from the Human Hive.
    11. That this order shall become effective on Dec 2, 2146.

    By authority of the state of Human Hive

    NEW VISION OF THE FUTURE FOR MANKIND!

    -- In celebration of the Glorious Chariman's birthday, Hive theorists have theorized the future of mankind. Cheif Theorist Vev had this to say:

    Behold citizens of Chiron, the time has arrived for all those blessed ones to place their mark on this virgin world. No more shall we be confined to the frailities of human flesh, conditioning and thoughts for we shall be the legions the mind of the many who would lead forward to the future. Once such thoughts were a dream, an futile hope we cling to desparately wishing what transpires shall be true. Rather through this promised land of Chiron as all be drawn together in the vast conscious network planet fungus shall our consciousness merge and mingle and be free to express ourselves and thoughts without fear or the oppression of tyranny. For those who have the drive and the will shall transcend our mortal coil, beyond our mudane self, where their spirit shall rise and the unfortunate meeked soul shall inherit what is of the plant unable to join their brethens in the infinity circuit of the planet network.

    Come the hour of reckoning is at hand and the the culmination of the our specis shall be be integrated. Release ourselves to the Transcendance Cycle to break free ... free to what lies beyond our imagination.

            Pirate intelligence services scans content for hidden messages.

            Pirates will debate whether to ship out to the Hive, a container load of Black underwear (some featuring Skull and Crossbone) for their troops. Unless the troops either don't need or don't wear any.

            Ok there was too much 'Amber fluid' in our submitted batch of Xenorum.

                  Sad to see Jamski leave the Hive. However it would be a shame to lose him. Therefore, I hereby give him perminant sanctury in the 'between land' that is the Rec Commons. A room will be built at the back, where Jamski may stay.

                    I'm sure that Chairman Voltaire will have a big enough heart to grant Jamski a pardon for his coup.

                            Jamski's pardoned by the Chairman but he's been hiding in his giant office mourning I think and refusing to talk to any one.

                              Is Jamski going to be expect to serve all three of his sentences at once? That might prove tricky...
