2127 sent to the University.

Turn sent to TigToad.

I am glad to hear that sister TigToad is so interested in lasting peace and friendship. However, since she decided to ignore part of my reply, I have decided to ignore part of hers.
To me, frienship is always a mutual thing, kept up in the interest of both sides.
-joer.

[TigToad]

The Church is above equality. If you do not wish the wrath of the church you have one year to decide.

Turn sent.

[Misotu]

The new Commissioner is getting to grips with the complexity of running a fledgling empire and has many internal situations to address. We are in no position either to defend ourselves, or to wage war on our neighbours. It is our sincere hope that this situation can be resolved peacefully ...

Turn to TigToad.
--
Our views towards the Church and their god differ a little from Sister TigToad's belief. However, the final decision between choosing the dark path of aggression or that of peace lies not in the University's hands, but in those who have already threatened with their wrath.

"...and God said, there will be a new land. A promised land. This land will provide for your masses and ensure an environment where God can provide spirtually for all without interferance from incorrect outside religions. It is a place where the land itself will rise up to talk to you. In one voice it will cry for you to use it, exploit it, to help further God's cause. This place will be known as Chiron and it is your duty as faithful children of the Lord to make sure no one who is not of the faithful shares this promised land."

Excerpt from the new Chiron testiment of the bible

[Misotu]

Oh urk. Sounds like god's children are on the march. Yikes.

Turn sent to the Provost.

[joer]

Bla. Sent the turn to TigToad already yesterday. Apolyton is giving me problems again. Let's see what he has to offer.
-joer.

[TigToad]

Don't worry Misotu. We know you are a loyal follower of God. Tig

[Misotu]

Sister Tig, you know that we respect and honour world citizens of all denominations. But you're right, we have a soft spot for your particular variety

We also respect and admire the ground-breaking work of the University. Couldn't we all just chat about it over a beer at Camp Misotu some time?

2130 sent to UoP

[joer]

Empath Guild completed.
Turn to TigToad.

Looking at the still puny defenses of the Believers, Sis TigToads desperate attempts to punch out masses of Impact rovers, while trying desperately to catch up in the tech race by acquiring a newer weapon technology way too late, which will render her already belated prototyping hopelessly backward, the University only laughs at the desperation of the Believers.

Let God's army come. Let them see that science and technology is the new god upon Chiron. Because Jahwe is dead!
-Provost JTech!

[TigToad]

The 'empath' is simply the proof that you have defiled God and his image. By trying to use 'science' to make yourself more like God you set yourself back as much as those who build large idols of metal and worshiped them. You shall be similarly punished--punished by exile from the holy land.

Sister Tig

[Misotu]

Commissioner Mis is pleased to announce her election to Planetary Governor and sends thanks to those who generously supported her candidacy. It is regrettable that the election celebrations have been overshadowed by growing friction between the two other factions on Chiron.

2131 sent to the University.
