2115 has found it's way towards Rubin. 
Nice 'camouflage' for a probe cruiser production, Sankis.

University Network Nodes have started humming and--it seems--resonating with the vibrant fungal patches still present. These strangely facinating--almost alien--harmonic, persistent outbursts seem to reach across the entire planet.
Vile speculations suggest that the Nodes have been infected with a planetary (Xenofungal) virus. Whatever the cause, University scientists are observing and studying the phenomenon.
Neither Brother Lal nor Lady Deirdre are willing to cooperate with the University peace agenda. Although the Peacekeepers recently have signed a limited peace treaty, Brother Lal seems to be employing a non-peaceful agenda.
Needless to say, Chairman Yang is impossible to negotiate with. Doctor Rubin is planning a special mission to try to persuade the infuriated Hive leader to re-open diplomatic channels.
Finally, the diplomatic tension between the Nautilus Pirates and the Atlanteans is being monitored closely.Comment

Mmm, what? There's progress?
Turn forwarded, nothing much to report except a whole ****load of Nautilus forward deployments and suspect productions.
The Kingdom is for sure monitoring that very closely... and still hasn't received any sort of response on it's latest request a few years ago.
From the Hive, no news. Do they even still exist, I wonder?Comment

2217 to the Pirates.
Brief University headlines.
Peacekeeper faction makes fatal decision.
Fungal resonance link between the Manifold Nexus and The Ruins is being investigated. Hum source distorted. Probably northern origin.
Gaian hostility continues.
A silent, subdued Chairman...
Sporadic Atlantean communiques fails sense check.
Subtle Data Angel activity prediction: Very high!

Angels up. Sorry about slow turn pace lately, I've been busy. Should be fine now.
And Geo, I don't know which request you refer to? I never got one, in any case.Comment

Sankis: About permission to move my naval reconnaisance unit through your territory back to mine. I've even seen you looking for it the turn after.Originally posted by Sankis

Turn is forwarded... Technology updates coming from the University are getting gibberish... The Science Department is unable to get head nor tail from infiltrators' summaries.
The Queen requests Capt. Sankis to restrain himself in his agressive behaviour towards the Gaians... they've become really innocent people... really...

2218 to the Pirates.
Perhaps the Atlanteans are entirely unable to comprehend the advanced University research and technologies; hence, to the Atlanteans, gibberish?
Allow me to quote Zakharov:
What actually transpires beneath the veil of an event horizon?
Decent people shouldn't think too much about that.

Planetfall, MY 2218.2204
"Sir, they continue to be unreasonable and refuse to even consider our proposals as usual." a holographic face floating in the air, the uniform visible on his shoulder shows him as a Talent from the diplomatic corps, said.
Sighing, the Prime Minister nod, "Thank you, at least we can truthfully say that we tried our best. Cease all negotiations and pull out your people immediately."
Since the fall of a major Hive stronghold in Hive Proper, Angels knew that the backbone of the Hive military has been broken. Due to growing dissent among the Council from those more dovish, the state decided to attempt to negiotate with Chairman Yang and offer him an opportunity to surrender unconditionally. The idea was to end the war right away and place the Human Hive under an occupation of Angel's thought police to prevent a revenge attack. Other than that, they were going to be free to do whatever they wish with their own internal affairs.
However negiotators from the Hive has been unreasonable, insisting that Data Angels themselves surrender and return all former Hive bases including those that they have captured from the Angels.
Despite this, repeated opportunties has been given to the Hive to end the war on Angels' terms. Opportunties that the Chairman Yang refused. Surely this show the proof of his madness?
Outside of Fecundity Tower, few months later
"Who would have thought it?" Sergeant Boorstiu commented to a soldier next to him. They stood on a ridge overlooking the isthmus leading to the only remaining Hivean stronghold.
A grizzled veteran of those long decades of Hive-Angel war, he lost friends and family at Alphaville when Hivean forces captured the base. He survived the furious and bloody seige of the fortifications at the Devil's Gates outside of the Spot back in the darkest hour of the war where it appeared that everything was lost for the Angels.
Back then if someone told him he would be with his men outside of the last Hivean stronghold, preparing to launch an assault, he would have thought that person a fool.
Yet here he is, looking at the low profile of the Hivean base.
"Hey, sir, look!" a troop pointed.
Looking upward along the direction of the pointing finger, the sergeant watched the dark dots in the horizon gradually becoming larger and larger. He was not concerned, those days, the Angels has the complete control of the skies.
Eventually he could make out the distinct shapes of Fiery Raphael and Raguel squadrons heading for the Hivean base.
"Well, well, we all know what this means. Air power sure is nice to have but you know that us infantry do the real dirty work. Tell the rest to get ready, about the time to earn our pay!" Boorstiu commanded.
Few hours later in Alphaville among holovids
...bombarded, destroying the defense of Fecudity Towers, the last Hivean stronghold...
...attempts has been made to end the war peacefully but the Chairman refused to entertain the notion...
...here we can see Angels' infantry battalions breaking through and entering subterrean tunnels...
...light resistance reported...
...rumors has been running around that Chairman Yang himselves has been found and captured, we are trying to confirm...Last edited by Barinthus; April 23, 2005, 00:43.Comment
