Diary of Huxley Soma, Free Drone Intelligence Chief
It was a stroke of genius to pull a few strings and get the foreman's nephew into the Cloudbase Academy. The boy isn't very bright but the look on the foreman's face . . . funding for the academy is now assured for years. Hopefully I won't have to squeeze too many istructors to keep his grades up. the boy seems happy enough there-- If he gets dissatisfied I guess I can always arrange a "girlfriend" to maintain his interest.
Orchestrating the Cyborg factory, now that was a tough sell. Thank God for that locust that came dancing across our lands. Without that, I doubt I could have convinced the foreman to expend the minerals. Nothing like a few panicked citizens to get some funding . . . . Its great when I can attain goals to keep us safer without having to fake a crisis.
The darn foreman is still naively prattling on about peace. He has the gaians and the morganites pacting and now it seems they might be attacking our friends. But he doesn't see that as a threat and is just talking about economic sanctions and whatnot. Then the Cult are out there giving us warnings and threatening unspecified consequences. Their press secretary never once said anything conciliatory or that would preclude war as an option. He could have said that war was not a sensible option or that their greatest hope was to keep the peace but no they sabre rattled the whole time. But the foreman . . . . it was a fight just to get him to increase patrols in that direction and every appropriation for a new unit is a fight . He's oblivious to everything. He seems to think that the fact that we are big will be enough to dissuade attackers.
