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

[ForesterSOF]

The way they are playing chances are they will see right through it.

Build the military like it has been mentioned now and in the past.

[Hercules]

To some extent the Gaians have been messing us around. We offered them, quite a good deal (and yet in a secret pact arrangement with Morgan they did not comply).

We want Bio engineering for tba

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

As you know we are interested in acquiring Bio Enginering.

In return we would give you tba.

What is tba?

[Hercules]

Intel Integ.

However we have also to advise them what Mart said above. That is if Morgan, Gaians and us have MMI, Spartans will get MMI automatically and this is not to be welcomed.

I suppose we could trade them MMI if they did not trade it to Morgan. Have Morgans got MMI , I can't recall if they have or not or are they currently researching it.?

[Hercules]

The Gaians now have the turn, so getting Bio engineering from them next turn would be nice.

[Mart]

Hmm, I have just noticed something. For some time I was wondering how did it happened that we got Advanced Military Algorithms. According to my check of infiltrated factions, they do not have it in number 3 of them.
But we lack the Alien Artefact.
Forester, did you cash it in EM in 2178? I must have missed that point in the forum, or maybe you did not mention that at all? My smacx arranges facility list in the way, that I do not see (linked) in network node description. Anyway, it is probably the best technology we could get from it. It will direct us to PSA much sooner.

I also write a message to Chaos Theory. Asking the status.

[ForesterSOF]

Did not cash anything in.

Popped that pod and got some money that way.

[Hercules]

The interesting thing is that on opening turn 2179 we were offered a new tech immediately. Could the AA have turned itself in or been cashed automatically?

[Hercules]

I looked at the end save. Morgans don't have MMI. So we could trade it to Gaians with an embargo. Also should we embargo Intel Integ.?

Maybe we should contact Morgan (innocently) and ask what techs they have to trade and indicate what techs we have to trade: we could get Bio Eng from them if Gaians won't cooperate.

[Mart]

I got response from Chaos Theory, that they will discuss the issue. We have the turn anyway.

By cashing Alien Artefact (AA), I mean linking it to the network node.

[Hercules]

It suddenly clicked.

If the Gaians trade us Bio Engineering, then Spartans will get it also from their Plan Data SP, So is it better to wait awhile until the Spartans get it (difficult for us to know atm) as it will slow their overall production.

[Mart]

I already thought about it.

I think Gaians may have infiltration on Spartans.
Should we tell Gaians we infiltrated Morganities?
If we tell to much to Gaians they will figure that out.

I think we may try to arrange the trade so as Gaians get from us IntInt and MMI in some way with embargo or later. Then we get from Gaians new tech they would switch to and something else later, since we would give them 2 techs.

[Hercules]

I am not so sure that Gaians do have infiltration on Spartans otoh they did have a transport early on so maybe they succeeded.

[Mart]

Important message from Chaos Theory.

They ask, if our offer from May for trading IntInt for 100 EC is still valid.

What do you say? I would agree on it still. With note, that it is for our long-term good relations.

[Hercules]

Yes, but no trading on. I would prefer they researched Cent Empathy. I would prefer if Gaians were more open to us.

Tell them the 100 ecs isn't important, more their good will and intentions.
