The University awaits the Data Angel explanation on the conflict with the Human Hive.

[GeoModder]

Too bad we can't see on an upload link if someone downloaded the turn or not.

[Sankis]

Sorry, I had some things going on this weekend. Turn to the Angels.

The Nautilus await an explanation on Pactmate Yang of the Hive's recent hostilities.

Data Angels' response

Dear my fellow council members, out of us, the Chairman has always been one of most reluctant to cooperate and even you all cannot deny his xenophobic behavior.

He has been hostile especially toward my people which shares his borders. For decades now the Angels has been living in quiet fear of the subterrean menace in the West. In the past he has extorted our hard-earned knowledge from us. His military has openly violated our terriortial intergity and we have been afraid to call upon him to remove his troops in risk of enraging him.

Instead, our scouts has been quietly following and observing his men exploring alien boreholes near our base of Alphaville. It was long feared by our leaders that he desired the prime estate of those boreholes well knowing that we are incapable of defending those.

When after nearly 15 years, his troops went east to explore to see whether if there are more alien structures out there or not, we took measures to ensure that he cannot return to the Boreholes without our knowledge.

In the same year we discovered a new knowledge that the Human Hive does not have, they established a new base east of Fellowship bringing their borders closer to the Boreholes. This base is named Seat of Proper Thought by them. Soon afterward, the Human Hive demanded that we turn over our newly researched secrets of Centurai Mediation.

Tired and fed up by living in the Hive's shadow, we refused to turn over the knowledge without trading for something in exchange.

Hence the Vendetta! His unit has attacked one of our rover units, forcing it to retreat where it could be destroyed by a random wandering mindworm.

His silence should speak volumes here!

However we do not wish to have this incident destroy the decades of Peace we have been experiencing. I know your people don't and mine doesn't either. I hope the Council will see it fit to try to engage the Chairman and solve this tragedy pleacefully.

Meanwhile we the Data Angels do reserve the right to defend ourselves.

We submit ourselves to the wisdom of the Council.

(Governator, your turn now )

[GeoModder]

Done, and forwarded to Rubin. Will attach it just in case.

**************************************************

The Planetary Council, MY 2177

Members of the Council, we have heard an explanation
by DataJack Aeolus. Does any of you have questions regarding this
or wishes to bring new evidence or testimony to our attention?
Even if it is only hearsay from Chairman Yang who still refuses
contact with the Council?

The University is considering the conflict situation. Doctor Rubin wonders what our Planetary Governor actually wants.

M.Y 2178
=============
Nautilus Scientists have picked up sunspot activity. It is expected to last up to 2 decades, and will prevent long range communications. The Nautilus Pirates wish all of the other factions the best of luck in the coming years.

Regarding the Data Angels Situation: The Nautilus will consider what the Angels have said and expect to have an answer within 20 years.

Edit: Angels up.

[GeoModder]

O boy...

What now? Can the Council still be in session with communications down?

[Barinthus]

IIRC if in SP game, you cannot call the Council during sunspot activities, I suppose we shouldn't be able to do so here.

I'm going to play my turn now

Played and Sent

[GeoModder]

You better check things Barinthus, I can't download the file for I have an 'Unknown Error' report, and further more the scanner says 'Cannot remove the virus'.

[GeoModder]

Weird, now it looks ok (could download it) and a virusscan finds nothing... 'kay, ignore the former Barinthus, turn downloaded.

[Barinthus]

I'll run a check on my computer anyway to make sure. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

[GeoModder]

Turn forwarded to Rubin (in a minute).

Atlantean reload observed.

(Barinthus: I'm terribly sorry for this mess--I even did a reload to see if I was able to honor at least some part of the agreement.)
