Hi all:

Northswordsman thanks alot for participating in the game especially since you were kind enough to play as a replacement player. We appreciate it.

Move 2214 received, played and passed on to Flubber.

Meanwhile. . . .

===============

Communique - Drone Central, 1400 hrs, 2214

Drone State Department

A conciliatory note through diplomatic channels has been forwarded to Chairman Flubber of the Hive regarding the recent infiltration incident(s) in order to maintain and preserve the peace between the nations.

At approximately 0900 hrs, a Drone air reconnaissance unit discovered Hive probe unit(s) preparing to load into an Isle of the Deep just twenty kilometers [2 squares] from the main coast of the Drone nation. After surveillance, Defense officials ordered the unit to be pacified. This action was taken only after careful consideration of the recently foiled attempt to break-in at one of the nation's national labs at Steelfount by unknown parties (investigation still on-going).

This action combined with; (1) acknowledging past technology transfers to active enemies of the Drone nation; (2) the on-going investigations regarding an attempted break-in at government labs at Steelfount, was unfortunately seen as a potential hostile act towards the Drone nation.

Secretary Pillar would like to emphasize that this military action was very limited in scope and nature as the Drone nation had other military assets to bring to bear in the immediate area if the Drone nation had other intentions.

Accordingly, a truce has been requested to cool down the situation pending future discussions.

End of Communique

" let me see if I have this straight .. The drone nation killed a police unit that was standing on sovereign Hive territory because it MIGHT board a transport ?? Is this the same drone nation that has landed several probes directly on our lands and tried to sneak them deep into our territory. When we caught them,we returned them unharmed"

"yes chairman"

" Do they offer an apology or reparations of any kind ?"

"Their public note offered nothing sir but we have yet to be in contact with the units on site. They passed a private note and perhaps that is more specific as to how they intend to redress the issue"
