Makahlua, we at CPU were more than willing to have peace with you and the Hive, and thus started peace talks with you. It is the Hive however that thought otherwise by destroying our colony pod in their last turn. So if you want to seek someone to blame, please find out whoever in the Hive decided to destroy our CP. They are fully responsible for our action.
It hurts for us too to get our hopes up and then have them shot down. We are both victims here of the Hive who have repeatedly betrayed and abused us and lied to us for their own personal benefit.

Unlike PUT and CyCon we of PEACE are not 'in' on all of Hive plans, nor are we privy to the reasons of them destroying a CP. It still remains that the CPU attacked us for no provocation except that of 'getting back at the Hive' for something that we had no part of.

If the CPU wish to destroy the peace loving PEACE they certainly have that power, but should not have by any means considered it apporpriate to break a ceasefire agreement to simply 'get back' at the Hive.

If the CPU wished to 'get back' at the Hive, there are certainly other methods of doing so that wouldn't involve the PEACE in anything.

We of the PEACE request neutrality in this incident and will be responding post-haste to GeoModder's communicaide though due to the fact that not all PEACE members are available for comment it will unfortunately be a preliminary message.

I agree. But it was the only way to deny Hive something they very much wanted.

Self-defense, there’s a difference.

[GeoModder]

O yes, I will remember that line when you start knocking on Atlantis' basegate.

[Jamski]

Hey! What are all these Hiverians doing here agreeing with me??

In that case :

The CyCon were right to take this base!

And break a ceasefire...

It looks as if that will have to wait until the 'morrow as what I wrote is in need of some calculations.

See, even the CyCon admit it.

Chairman Voltaire, your presence on MSN is required.

Although I am only an observer, and not an especially disinterested one, it seems to me that the Cybernetic Consciousness could have easily arranged reprisals against the Hive, instead of targetting PEACE forces. It does call into question the very option of a diplomatic solution to conflict and the concept of "detente" held by the leaders of the Consciousness.

Of the leaders of the Consciousness I ask this:
Surely "gunboat diplomacy" would be preferrable to what appears to the PEACE leaders to be an unprovoked and unjustified attack?

[Impaler[WrG]]

Alow me to clarify a bit our position as Maniac put it.

It seems to be incressingly apartent that the Hive is atempting to save the Pirates from elimination at the Hands of Cycon. We have noticed transfers of Credits to the Pirates and exchanges of tecnology between Hive and Pirates, not to mention the Pact between these factions.

Thus we have interprited PEACE to be a quasi-vassel state of the Hive at this point. Thus when the Hive destroyed our unit it broke the CeaseFire we had with PEACE.

Think of this situation as like the Cuban Missle Crisis, PEACE being Cuba a small and weak state that is a satalite of a much larger power (HIve) which is having a spat with another larger power. If one of the SuperPowers attacks the other then it obvious that any ceasefire with a satalite state is null and void.


None the less now that Cycon has destroyed the PEACE Ship we feel secure and would be willing to alow PEACE to exist if we have a warming in our relations with the Hive. If so then PEACE will be alowed to resetle far to the North in the region of Fossil Field Ridge ware they will not infringe on the Cycon sphere of influence. They may even remain an active Hive alie so long as the Hive dose not station forces in their territory. It will be up to the Hive though to deside what PEACE's fate will be. Cycon will negotiate their fate with the Hive as it should be obvious to all that direct negotiations between Cycon and PEACE are rather pointless now.
