EREWHON turns - part 3

I am very pleased to announce to the peaceloving people of planet that a truce with CEO Aredhran could finally be signed.

A few sad side notes: only the destruction of most of his fleet, military and civil, could convince the free marketeer that his military campaign against the Hive nation would fail in the end. Unfortunately, further aggressions of the CEO cannot be ruled out. I quote his last message to me:
" I'll repeat: How do you expect peace when you keep bombarding my shores ?
That will teach to trust the honorless bastard you are. Next time i'll sink your ships when i have a chance. Nevertheless, i will agree to a truce"

I'm convinced that my succesful ending of this first real crisis on planet shows my qualities as a potential planetary governor in the future.

best regards,
Chairman Flomeise

Lord Zod made a shocking announcement today:

"Time has been suspended by High Lord MoSe after attorneys representing Aredhran industries filed litigation claiming numerous high crimes by our good buddy, the evil Hive Chairman. The universe in now being roped off with that cute little yellow police tape."

Lord Zod said privately the he felt the delay was being manufactured by the CEO to mask the fact that Aredhran Industries has not adequately prepared for the Y2.2K bug.

Aredhran Industries wishes to formally apologize to Lord Zod for this most disrespectful interruption of his speech as it was broadcast to A.Inc cities.

The perpetrators have been located and a police SWAT team is - as you hear these words - arresting the criminals who will be put to trial for their crime.

Without further delay, we will now return to our regular program, featuring a heated political debate about the current diplomatic status with the Hive - right after a commercial break.

Stay tuned !

MY 2199 is in the hands of the Governor (at last)

We shall see who has the Y2.2K bug here...

Nice move on the University, Lord Zod(although you're killing my precious commerce money )

Let it be known that as you may have heard through the grapevine, the peace negociations with are a failure. I shall not pursue these efforts until further notice, as this is just wasting my time and efforts.

2200 to CEO Aredhran

i apologize for the premature report of planetary peace.
After the long years of negotiations, and the final signing of a cease fire, the CEO decided to not accept some harmless probe actions, only upgrading our databases really, by retaliating in the hardest possible way. The immediate decleration of vendetta on my science-loving people.
No offers to change the diplomatic status were made in 2200, i have to reconsider the situation once again.

Flomeise, Chairman of the Human Hive

Lord Zod today proudly signed a Treaty of Friendship with the University of Planet.

Zod indicated that he hoped Gaia's actions would foster a new round of peace inititives and that the Hive and Aredhran Industries will reconsider peaceful expansion.

Rumors that UoP scientist's have transfered new technology to the Gaian Federation were neither confirmed or denied. Zod cautioned all to refrain from undue speculation.

"The thing is that peace was achieved. That should be the focus. We have not sought conflict, and when it was forced upon us, we retaliated with only that force necessary to restore order."
