Naval Clash - Second Thread

[Barinthus]

"3...2...1.... now!" Talent Toole shouted from his platform at the newly constructed Command Center at the Spot.

Aeolus stood and listened intently. Then radio transmissions from all parts of the Planet began to trickle in and slowly became a flood of assorted information babbling into the air.

"Aeolus! There is a transmission from the Chairman of the Hive waiting," a techanian reported.

"Put it on the screen." Perhaps it was a offer for a ceasefire or something to put stop to this mindless stalemate that has raged for a decade?

Yang's face filled the screen and his words he spoke did not bode well for the Angels.... "It will be a pleasure to wipe your faction off the Planet!"


Turn to the Kingdom

[GeoModder]

Royal Broadcasting Company - Neagh Trench, MY 2191

With regret announces the Kingdom's government a state of Vendetta against the Human Hive led by Chairman Yang as at 2191.2901. The Human Hive has with this action brought the path of violence to all factions on this Planet, and the Kingdom is determined to bring the error of his choice to the Chairman in an as short as possible time.

In other news, rumours are that with the ending of the longlasting solar flares of the previous two decades a flurry of diplomatic activity is once again blooming. More news on that later on!

Military Command announces the construction of a purpose built Air Academy for the newly created Royal Air Force.

And lastly, rumours are that the University of Planet succeeded in fielding sufficient algorithms in it's network to prevent any tampering with the University's databases.

Turn 2191 to Rubin.

[Rubin]

University Emergency Buoy found near Atlantean border perimeter resonating message:

Turn 2191 not received, please resend!

[GeoModder]

???

That's weird... did you receive an empty email (no attachment) or nothing at all?

Anyway:

[Rubin]

2192 sent to the Captain.

A brief report:

Hivean diplomats report the seizure of Newer Ciba City! This is a tragic event and University officials have planned a meeting with the Chairman during M.Y. 2192. Doctor Rubin condemns the invasion and hopes for a peaceful solution--however, by M.Y. 2193 the University may be at war with the Human Hive and actively support Datajack Aeolus' attempts to repel the hivean invasion.

Following the end of sunspot activity diplomatic affairs have resumed. To this, Doctor Rubin convened the council with the proposal to elect a new Planetary Governor. The candidates are Brother Lal and Doctor Rubin. Preliminary vote counts are as follows:

Captain Sankis: 32 votes (undecided)
Datajack Aeolus: 25 votes (undecided)
Doctor Rubin: 103 votes cast for Doctor Rubin
Queen Elevea: 84 votes (undecided)
Lady Deirdre: 62 votes, abstained
Brother Lal: 100 votes cast for Brother Lal
Chairman Yang: 62 votes cast for Doctor Rubin.

Should Doctor Rubin win the elections and the Chairman refuse to return Newer Ciba City to Data Angel control and end the war, the first political action would be an official University offensive against the Human Hive.

Cast your votes!

[GeoModder]

The end of the Kingdoms political dominance it seems...

But then again, who wants to be Planetary Governor of a Planet in turmoil.

[Sankis]

I'm going to wait until tonight to take the turn. Geo, check your mail ASAP please.

The Nautilus Pirates would also like to announce that while they do not support Chairman Yang's actions, they will not be providing any support in the event of a collective offensive on the Human Hive,

[Sankis]

I gave my votes to Rubin, for a +32 on his part. Sorry, I didn't have the chance to write down the full numbers but you're ahead by a good margin

To Barinthus
===========================================

BREAKING NEWS: Captain Sankis of the Nautilus Empire sucessfully convinces Ally, Chairman Yang of the Human Hive, to a temporary blood truce with the Data Angels!

(I'm incredibly suprised he agreed, since he's seething and all. Infact all the AI are quite pissed at me )

[GeoModder]

No problem, Sankis. 't Would have been quite a bit to ask from you anyway.

Good news for Barinthus, but now I'm the one skirmishing with Yang on my own.
No worries people, the Kingdom is strong enough to handle this.

Captain Sankis will be more then willing to speak on the Kingdom's behalf if you wish a truce with the Human Hive.

[GeoModder]

If necessary, I'll no doubt ask.

[Sankis]

Anyone know if Barinthus went away or anything?

[GeoModder]

Does he knows you forwarded the turn (if you did)? You didn't exactly tell it here.

I did receive a mail from him earlier this week.

't Is weekend now, so it might be that he's out. In any case, I won't be able to play the turn before sunday evening GMT-1

[Sankis]

I put "To Barinthus" in my last post, maybe he didn't see it.

[GeoModder]

Ah ok. I didn't notice it.
