The Infotrader/Infiltrator Network - Diplomacy plug-in (III)

[Mart]

Any word from Spartans? They must be a bit dissapointed about CF. In their last message pertaining to possible change of CF to AV I could sense unspoken hope no instabuild of this SP.

[ForesterSOF]

Not a peep.

I think they are upset with us and formulating their plans to conquor.

[Mart]

Gaians have 4 turns to complete Intellectual integrity. How about asking them for trade now? They are quite behind in the techs actually. I predicted what techs will they be offered when getting IntInt:

Doctrine Initiative
Progenitor Psych
Bio-Engineering
Cyberethics
Nonlinear Math
Mind/Machine Interface

There are then 2 techs which we do not posses:
- Doctrine Initiative
- Bio-Engineering
and they are quite interesting. Clean ability might be worth implementing on formers. Cloning Vats are also in that direction.
And we might use some cruiser chassis too.

If Gaians agree to leapfrog to one of these two techs, we might then trade with them something more.

And second issue. We actually might go for Pact with Morganities, if you think that might help our economy. I think we might count for like 10-15 EC/turn more. They keep small bases...

[ForesterSOF]

Setting up trade woth G sound fine but pact woth M still do not like the idea.

[Hercules]

I agree. Let's initiate discussion with Gaians re leap frogging to, well I suggest, Bio engineering.

Also advise them that we both must be careful with onward trades because Spartans have Plan Data.

Planned letter

------------------------------------------
Dear Gaians

Would you be interested in researching Bio-Enginering for us and in exchange we could offer you Cybernetics or Doctrine: Inititive.

We must be carefull with trades due to the fact the Spartans have Plan Data.

They may be more interested in getting Doctrine: Air Power.

Forester:

The message to the Gaians needs some changes.

First we want to know if they are interested in leap-frogging to Bio Engineering if we trade them Intel Integ.

After that we can discuss further tech trades. We don't have Doc: Ini to trade so can't offer it.

They have Doc: Air already. What they might look for is MMI but that tech I think we want to hold on to (for a while) because of the Spartan Plan Data issue and also it could be probed from them.

So we focus on Bio engineering as the the target tech imo. Big benefits to them from that tech also.

[Mart]

Write to them also the findings re their most likely offered new techs when they have IntInt.

I agree with Hercules on not trading MMI

Tell Gaians we do not have Doc Init and Bioengineering. They of course can check all these things by themselves, by we just did this work here. They may though recheck it.

[ForesterSOF]

So we want Bio-Eng and will give what in exchange.

IntInt

------------------------------------------
Dear Gaians

Would you be interested in researching Bio-Enginering for us and in exchange we would give you Intelectual Integrity now allowing you to have that tech now.

We must be carefull with trades due to the fact the Spartans have Plan Data.

Your proposal has been inserted into commlinks, stay tuned for our answer.

[GeoModder]

Do we want the Longevity Vaccine or not?

[Hercules]

Emmmm Hadn't thought about it. Quite a useful SP for drone control. I think I would prefer AV.

It is an SP I would be happy to agree to the Gaians building.
But I would like to secure from the Gaians their non build agreement on the AV/HSA.
