University Council Inquery #1187: Datajack Aeolus, please bring forward your diplomatic stance in the conflict between the Atlanteans and the Nautilus Empire!
The conflict brewing among three factions on the same landmass Data Angels call their home fills its government and people with the feeling of uneasiness. Seeing that they are exhausted from the long war against the Human Hive, the Angels prefer to remain netural. However they will be guarded and maintain diligent observance of this conflict.
Any conflicts that should arise within Angels' terrority will not be tolerated, be forewarned.
Your majesty, we regret to inform you that Provoost
Rubin of the University has started with the construction
of a Planet Busting weapon, most likely with a quantum
generator equipped. This weapon of mass-destruction
will, at our current information, be ready within six
Planetyears, but the Provoost has on numerous occasions
proven to be a spentdrift, so the likeability of this device
being finished next year is large.
Respectfully,
Brigitte Bond, Head Royal Intelligence

So, the Queen pondered... our good Provoost shows
his true face after all? Preparing to extinguish a whole city
just like that? How to stop this? Perhaps giving him one
more chance to see reason and halt this project...

Atlantean's use Gaian civilians as human shields in the offensive against the Nautilus Pirates.
Atlantean official announcements deemed hypocritical.
Data Angel covert incursers reported.
IMPORTANT!
QUEEN ELEVEA! THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING!
Is the University AND the Nautilus empire prepared to leave the Gaians alone?
And isn't it quite normal to return previously conquered cities to their rightfull owners? Is the University this naive?
The rhetoric of the University is deemed maniacal, not to mention inconsistent.
And as reported before, Cpt. Sankis of the Nautilus could have his bases back by a simple promise to halt agression towards the Gaians. Not only is there a sinister silence from the pirates, but they consistently pick civilian targets in their conflict with the Kingdom, for their puny 'military' is not even up to the task of a real opponent.

The Royal Palace, New Atlantis - MY 2223.1705
What!! shouted Queen Elevea. How do you mean, 'accidently'?
How can a missile be fired accidently!! she demanded. Your majesty... stottered the general. It was an automated
response on the sneak attack of... he managed to continue
before the Queen stopped him short with a chop of her hand. How many casualties? she demanded. I may hope that HQ's
'military mind' at least thought of aiming for military or core
economic locations?
The general looked embarrassed and said: Well yes, your
majesty, the autolock on University hostilities was aimed at
the Energy park right on top of Mt. Rubin, but the shockwave's
effect was more severe then estimated... he trailed off under
the Queens' unbelieving gaze. How many casualties, general? she repeated softly.
The general answered embarassed. Three bases were wiped
out in the blast, your majesty. We estimate about half a million
civilians went with it and... he stopped, for suddenly the
Queen sagged back in her chair. Get out... she whispered. Just get out of here.
An hour later...
The Queen opened a comlink, and started to speak in it.
This is Queen Gwynn Elevea of the Atlantean Kingdom,
hailing Dr. Rubin of the University.
Due to the events today on Mt. Rubin, and seeing that the
Kingdoms' military seemingly is unable to respond properly
to foreign threats without consent of it's civilian authorities,
I see no other choice then offering an unconditional surrender
to your faction. As head of state in the Kingdom, I take full
responsability of this tragedy and hope to be in time to stop
this circle of utter violence before it escalates even further...
She paused a bit, thinking of what more she could say,
but nothing came.
I await your response and terms of surrender, Doctor.
Elevea out.
