Lady Deidre has appeared on Nautilus sensors. Armed forces mobilize against her once more.

Didn't receive the turn.

[Sankis]

Doh. Did I forget to reattach again?

Anyway, here it is.

There's a turn available for download here, Barinthus...

Planetfall MY 2213

Prime Minister sat in his office watching a live holovid depicting the assault to capture Social Engineering Den base. Angels' top commanders and advisors were also present. Commandant Sider Roze of the Guardians stood silently but you could sense her pride as she observed the base's aerocomplex being dismantled by a probe commando squad. Then defending forces were exposed to the combined arms of the Angel military.

With the fall of Social Engineering Den, everybody in the room knew that the 'Horde' has been broken.

Within the chambers of the Council and the motley Parliment, a debate raged over the war. Certain dovish factions felt that the Hive has been punished enough while those of more hawkish persuasion insisted on pressing on until Chairman Yang has been brought to justice.

Reports of lobbyists of the military hardware industry violating lobbying laws has appeared all over the Net. There were also speculations that perhaps the contractors wanted to see the war to continue so they could test new hardware being developed in experimentary labs.

A top Angel diplomat stands before a holovid in the main government communication center. He is there to contact a head of one of the Seven Factions. The face of the Atlantean ambassador appeared. "Yes, Ambassador Aeolus? How are you and what brings you to the Kingdom?"

Aeolus smiles and reply "Sir, thank you for asking. I am good and I would like very much to convey my congratulations to our new Planetary Governess personally."

Barinthus, you forwarded your own turn to me. Perhaps not pressed 'end turn'?

This weekend I won't be at home, so this years' one better come in soon in case you guys want to have something to play with.

[Barinthus]

Oops, sent what I hope is the correct file.

By the way I just realized I will be out of town as of this Saturday morning for a week for a well deserved holiday.

2213 in attachment.

Sorry, no time for roleplay now.

2214 to the Pirates.

Brother Lal has initiated the Pholus Mutagen.

So, the Atlanteans admit to having commited hostile actions against the Nautilus Pirates? And the Atlanteans expect this to pass without any kind of compensation as well as sustaining the trade treaty between the two factions?

Any comments?

[GeoModder]

As explained, the 'release' of Lady Deirdre was an act of vengeance from rogue intelligence agents for there colleagues which were killed due to an unappropriate diplomatic action from the Pirates' side.

A whole team had to be sacrified so Yang couldn't mount a counter assault on Barinthus. Due to this the Atlanteans were short of a probe team to protect another base a year or so later from being taken back by the Hive.

In roleplay:

The Royal Navy reports all entrances of the new Gaian port to be covered by them. Also, to reach the Gaian port by sea, intrusions on Atlantean territorial waters are unavoidable. The Atlantean government hopes Cpt. Sankis will remember his own warning for intrusions on his territorial waters before ordering Nautilus ships near the Gaian port.

2215 to the Pirate!

Diplomatic update 'may' follow. However, I sense some hidden diplomacy and would prefer to add comments once I know a little more about the current situation.

[Sankis]

Sorry for the long delay. To the angels.

Expect an important update tomorrow or next turn at the latest.
