Daniel Jakhobs-Howell Apprehended!

Earlier today the rogue assassin/dissident Daniel Jakhobs was arrested by University Police after a 24 hour stand-off in the outskirts of University Base.

He will face charges in trial later this week and is expected to spend life in prison for his crimes of terrorism and threating rebellion.

Aki-Zeta Five Will be Conquered

In a press release earlier this day, Academian Prokhor Zakharov has reappropriated all production in University cities to war machines to aid in the destruction of the rogue Cyborgs.

He expects to halt their encroaching hold on Chiron before they become too large to destroy.

Roze Announces New Base Name

The survey results have been tallied, and 10,000 brave citizens have ventured out to settle the new Data Angel base. The results were as follows:

The Sprawl - 14%
Stack Heap - 23%
Shadow Sprawl - 15%

And the winner is: Nettap Complex with a resounding 48% of the votes. The colony pod is to meet up with the scout patrol from Roze Function before making it's way to the new base site.

I am deeply saddened that conflict could not be resolved between yourself and Provost Zakharov. I am also deeply sadened that I will be unable to assist you in your upcoming struggle. I sympathise with your situation, for I have been there myself. But I cannot condon an action of violence against either side for the sake of my own people.

For the record, there is no quarrel between you and I. I propose a Treaty of Friendship, just as I have sworn with Provost Zakharov. And I still offer my services, and the services of my people to find a diplomatic solution to this conflict.

Dear Zakharov,

As you should very well know, I will not easily back of something once I have made my mind up about it. Thus I ask that you reconsider your useless vendetta against the Cyborgs.

The Cyborgs can offer all of us many economic and research opportunities. I hope you will take advantage of them and become allies with these honorable cyborgs. Otherwise there may be war between our two factions.

Congenialy,
CEO Nwandbwe Morgan

Special Address by Aki Zeta-Five

Feature in all major news reports

Greetings fellow inhabitants. It is with great sorrow that I must make the following statement. The University of Planet, under the (mis)guidance of Dr Prokhor Zakharov, have indicated that they will settle for nothing less than the complete and utter annihilation of my people.

This is despite my offer of peace.

The history of my people's persecution at the hands of the University is a long one, and though we have taken great pains to maintain a stance of non-violence, despite the continual attacks, the time may come soon where we will be forced to fight...or to die.

Our kind has an abhorance of violence, it is a highly illogical and inefficient means of conflict resolution. We would not presume to ask our new friends for help in the battles that may ensue. To do so would be to spread the violence further, something I am opposed to doing. Should anyone of our new friends wish to help us, we could not, given the desperation of our situation, refuse. We would reward such help with all that is possible for us to give.

I cannot explain why the University has such a hatred for my kind. They seem to have formed their opinions based completely on a diet of old 'star trek' holovids and created a concept of us that is entirely based in fantasy. Why Dr Zakharov would develop his foreign policy on the overworked imaginations of the paranoid few is a mystery to even my enchanced cognitive functioning. The only other explanation is that the Dr has a hidden agenda.

I offer this recent communique from the University to myself where the Dr states, and I quote

'If all the factions are united under one banner then there will be less disagreements.'

I urge everyone to read the complete message, to see for yourself that I am not taking this out of context. I will not assume to interpret this for everyone, I do not want to be accused of scaremongering for assistance. I sure everyone is capable of gathering just what the good doctor intends, and the real reason for his unwarranted attacks on my people.

I thank everyone for taking the time to listen.

Peacekeepers- a foe or a friend

After months of silence, the discussion about what to do with the peacekeepers has risen again in the Junta.The generals seem to be equally divided, either to attack them or leave them alone. Of cource, Colonel Santiago has the final word, but our leader hasn´t yet announced her oppinion about the matter.

Meanwhile, the old scout rover units have been upgraded in to laser rovers and most of our forces have been moved to the south border. Also, building of command centers in all of our bases has commenced.This could be a preparation for war, still nothing is sure until we get some official information.

6-37-2119 Public announcement by Colonel Santiago

Good citizens, you have surely noticed that our nation is preparing for war.
It is true, we are going to war.This decicion was bound to come sooner or later.
The Junta has now only one oppinion, war, and I am behind that oppinion.

The reasons are here.We can nolonger watch and witness how the people of the peacekeeping forces are leading themselves into perish, by the false guidance of Commissioner Pravin Lal and his crooneys.That is why this war is neccesary, to help our human brothers and sisters in peril.

.Our forces are much larger than theirs and our soldiers are much more skilled in the art of fighting. Our victory will be swift and decisive.

Roze to Remain Neutral

Despite pleas by Prime Function Aki Zeta-Five to support her bid for freedom, Roze has once again stated that the Data Angel army will not move in an act of aggression. Roze made one last plea for peace, once again offering Data DeCentral as a neutral meeting ground. No response has come from either side, and officials are not holding their breaths.

Morgan to Join War?

Rumours abound that CEO Morgan has threatened to side with the Conciousness if Provost Zakharov continues with his path of aggression. If this is the case, it raises doubts as to whether Roze will be able to maintain her neutral stance. With the whole continent at war, and, as far as is known, all of humanity, how long before Roze sees the need to take action?

Message to Head Datajack Sinder Roze
From Prime Function Aki Zeta-5

Greetings Roze. I am sending this quick message to show our support for your neutral stance. It takes courage to avoid fighting sometimes, and we would not wish you to waste resources you can ill-afford to waste.

I feel our friendship is a deep one though, and there is still opportunity for you to show support, if it so pleases you. The imposing of trade sanctions and the like is a strong message of your opposition to the University's mad plan for genocide.

I also offer some friendly advice that you increase your own defences. It is my greatest fear that the University is using this vendetta against us as an excuse to build up arms, once they have finished with us, what is this idle army to do?

I am glad to call both you and Morgan friends. I hope for a future where the three of us can enjoy an everlasting peace. Together, who could stand against us?

Message to Captain Ulrik Svensgaard
From Prime Function Aki Zeta-5

Greetings Captain. I have had a thought. To protect your factions secrecy, perhaps it would be advisible for your land troops to wear disguises. We can send consciouness uniforms and flags to your units, so that at a distance they look like they are part of my army. This would give you much freedom in your movement, and ensure, should you be spotted, that your identity remains hidden.

-side note- paranoia is a common human trait, you may need to assure some of your soldiers that wearing our uniforms will not secretly implant the Zeta-5 algorithm.

message to CEO Nwabudike Morgan
from Prime Function Aki Zeta-5

Greetings. We have been gladdened by your recent show of support. Though we abhor violence, and would not want to involve others in our defence by choice, the desperation of our situation does not grant us that choice.

I would like to say though, the common saying that war profits no one, would not be the case for you. Should you facilitate an end to the vendetta that does not see our demise, then I will be willing to grant you ALL of our acquired research to date, as a show of thanks. I believe that the University has much of value, and as we would want Dr Zhakarov for trial in crimes against our people, who would be better to lead them then our venerable saviour?

If you can confirm your involvement soon, then together, we can begin to plan our defence.

Consciousness Post

This recent update is to announce to everyone that construction is finished of our new base Gamma Heights. This base is to be a gateway of commerce and friendship to our friends in the north, the Data Angels and the Morganites. This base is situated near the fertile and mineral rich Garland Crater, and there is much attractive land here currently on offere for development.

On other news, Aki Zeta-5 has announced that, if her protection can be assured, then she will travel to Data DeCentral to engage in diplomatic talks with Dr Zhakarov of the University. This is, of course, should the Doctor agree as well. Our leader sees little chance of Zhakarov agreeing though. It seems that war is a our current prospect for the future.

OOC - Gamma heights is at coordinates 45, 67...for people who want to update their map.

Message To Aki Zeta-Five
From Captain Ulrik Svensgaard

Interesting idea, but that would also make my Rovers targets for the University, if ever discovered.

Then again, allows the Rovers to attack them aswell, if needed, without fingers pointing to us. Allows us to help you without officially doing so.

The Scouting Expedition will obey and take on the disguises. Thank you for the offer.

I was wondering, our relations is more than just a Treay of Friendship, but close to a Pact. In other end, my people are not ready yet to bind themselves to an alliance with your faction, but doesn't stop me from indirectly helping.

Roze Commends Zeta-Five's Diplomacy

Roze today congratulated Prime Function Aki Zeta-Five for taking the first step towards a diplomatic resolution to the University-Counciousness Conflict. Aki Zeta-Five has intimated a willingness to travel to Data DeCentral in order to partake in peace talks with Provost Zakharov, as long as her safety can be guarenteed. Roze assured her that every security percaution would be taken. She pointed out the inherint Data Angel ability to pick out all the weak points in any defence system as positive, enabling Data Angel security to correct it's own faults before they can be taken advantage of. It is also hoped that CEO Morgan could assist in such security, as well as any potential talks, as negotiations would affect all Four Factions. No word yet as to whether Zakharov will be willing to talk. Roze also suggested that trade boycotts might be necessary if one of the factions was to initiate a war of aggression.

PeaceKeeper News Bulleten, ***State of Emergency Declared***

The UN Free press has learned that 2 Spartan Regiments are being deployed along our border, as a result the UN Peacekeeper Council has voted to expand our mobile forces, and deploy the Liberty battle group off the Spartan Base of "Fleet Anchorage" as a show of force.

"By no means will defense expenditures become our main priority," Defense Minister Stoneham said Monday, following the aouncment "However, we are taking precuationary measures in case conflict erupts between our two factions."

Tension has been building between the Spartans and the Peacekeepers since last month, when an unidentified object crashed into the Great Dunes in the SE corner of the continent. The 9th mobile Infantry from Ft. Benning is in a race to reach the site before the 2nd Spartan Guard Dragoons make it.

The Academic community is still debating as to whether or not the object spotted was a piece of the Unity or another artifact.
