Do you think they might have IntInt? We could leapfrog then...

Yes, I am curious too. For me it seems like they assume smth, and being in a sort of shock after loss of their capital they take it for granted.

They might also play stupid for us to underestimate them... hmm, not quite likely maybe

[GeoModder]

If their goal is to gather a front against the Spartans by all means, this could be the trick.

[ForesterSOF]

It sounds like we dont trust the M so are going to stay at treaty level and try to get as much tech as we can from them.

I hope so at least.

[ForesterSOF]

Also if they think we are researching SFF then they may be looking at us as a military faction that could help them if attacked further.

I would reveal nothing and let them do the talking and revealing.

A short message from Chaos Theory - Gaians

We would like to receive HEC from you in payment for Ecological Engineering.

I think, we can put High Energy Chemistry into diplobox for Gaians then. pre-accepted, since it is payment for what we already got.

[Mart]

And this message I am going to forward to Morganities:

Dear Director Mead,

Thank you very much for the technology you have forwarded to us, the map and Peacekeepers commlink. We appreciate this last possibility to trade with you. We also confirm receiving from you the offer of possible research trade you indicated, which might lead to choppers. We will discuss it and respond to you within several RL days.

We presently do not posses and are not researching Synthetic Fossil Fuels (SFF).

Regarding Pact, as we stated recently, our current situation has not change significantly since we last talked about it. Entering the Pact with you will require appropriate diplomacy including other factions. We are presently discusing it within our faction. We cannot enter the Pact with you at this moment but we will keep up to date with the state of our efforts towards this goal.

IT Mart

I wrote to Chaos Theory and BinTravkin that they are going to receive HEC their next turn.

Also I propose the following message to Spartans:

To Spartan Federation,

After the research adjustments undertaken within our faction we would like to inform you that our expected time of research breakthrough in Intellectual Integrity is expected in MY 2164. The same year this technology will be transferred to you.

IT Mart

[GeoModder]

Ok for me on all accounts.

[ForesterSOF]

I like everything except I am not to keen on telling the M that we do not have SFF.

[Mart]

I already told them that.
This way we avoid misunderstandings though, as to why we "refuse" to trade this tech - simply we do not have it now.

We might get it sooner from Lal then they think...

[Mart]

I thought Morganities speak about missiles in orbital spaceflight. In fact Mead meant SFF. So we should discuss this issue:

Please let me know if you would be interested in tech trades that would allow both of us to reach a level of at least choppers.
We will get missiles this turn and get DAP shortly thereafter.

So what do you think about it?

Also there is another thing - Spartans may know we exchange techs with Morganities. I think there is a possibility, they might consider a "military raid" to give us a strong signal to stay away from aiding their enemies. I think we should get good military ASAP. I would not be surprised to have some Spartan troops near HG soon.

I think now even about 3 Command Centers making both defensive and offensive units. Let us get these hive units probed. Yang probably will attack anyway. Let us ask Lal for Synthetic fossil fuels when we can. He should aid us hopefully.

[GeoModder]

How about continue to probe Yang's offensive military as it comes (for when war comes), and us concentrating on home-made plasma defenders? Personally I prefer to have at least plasma garrison prototyped before engaging in a war.

[Mart]

We may have little time. I believe Spartans are able to launch an attack within 2-3 turns after making their decision. With what I saw from the map they may cover all world now easily. In 2162 we hurry command center in EM We have the prototype in 2163 or 2164. In 2165 We can be about ready to mass production of plasma units.

I would expect these 4-2-1 of the hive in 2163 in the forest near HG. If we probe the impact, we can attack one of them with succes, I think. We should prepare a better plan for this. But it may be "dense" soon. I would expect hive attack with these 2 4-2-1 units in 2164 if we let it happen.

Impact will/may attack in 2163 the HG base directly

[GeoModder]

So we better try to contact Yang again in 2162 if we see the impact rover has gone in the fungus or the forest tile next the HG.

What do you suggest? That we ask him to retreat his troops and so precipitate a war (on our time then)? Might be better or else we might have a sneak attack on Heaven's Gate and lose our probe inthere with no chance of bribing the Hive rover then.

Do we still have a probe near the Hive synth trapped between the Hercules station peninsula and our mainland?
