The Chiron Chronicle II

[DarkCloud]

OOC: LMP, you can do the Hive and the Cult as well as the Pirates if you wish; I'm just filling in the story here.

TO: All Pirates in Radio Vicinity
FROM: Hive Communications Central in The Hive

"Greetings, oppressed humans"
"This is Shen-Ji Yang, the true leader of the masses on Chiron"
"Join our country- and you shall prosper"
"Inquire at the tip of the island our ship leads you to."
"Your leaders must not follow us, however- or they shall die at the hands of the righteous ones, we have many weapons, and many willing warriors."

-YANG

[DarkCloud]

OOC: Zakharov's full name and title is "Academian Prokhor Zakharov" not Provost Zakharov, I believe. And Prokhor is his first name.

Economic Earnings Report

On the Fifth of the Fifth Month of 2120, CEO Nwandbwe Morgan released the fifth economic earnings report of the year.

It found that, since the treaty with the University we have increased trade by 5%, this is not the type of jump we expected, but it will supposedly increase as more time goes by and the University builds its economy back up.

Overall, for the year our stock market is up 15% and our economy is prospering at a 10% increase from the war period. History has indicated that war is good for the economy and has proven so once and again.

Thus, some of our more prominent citizens have asked Morgan to start a war. He has responed by citing industrial concerns.

Economic Earnings Report

In other news, due to Morgan's strange 'dreams of planetcreatures' industrial concerns have been limited on industrial pollution by 10% and strip mining has been outlawed.

This, claims noted industrialist J.P. Moran "Is merely a ruse for Morgan to run out of business all industrial businesses and then buy us out and create a monopolistic industrial empire." Many citizens echoed his views.

OCC: According to the game, his name is Prokhor Zakharov and his title is Provost. I believe Provost is Russian for 'professor' or 'academician'.

Greetings Provost,

I am glad you have decided to proceed with a trial. It seems to me the only way these disputes can be resolved. As I have already mentioned, Data DeCentral's facilities will be made available if that's what is desired.

From: Datajack Sinder Roze c/o Data Angels

Greetings Aki,

First let me say, I'm glad we agree on the embassy issue. My ambassador will make his way down as soon I can select someone worthy enough for the position!

As for the road connecting Nettap Complex to Gamma Heights, I think that is a brilliant idea. However I do agree that we may run into difficulty with Zakharov and Morgan, but we shall try and work something out. I am more than willing to provide funding for the Data Angel side in of the road.

I was also delighted to hear that more people had survived the Unity crash. I will let you know how it goes between us. Pirates, eh? Sounds romantic!

As for this other faction, I must say my curiosity is piqued. I wonder why the Planetmind has not spoken of these fungus dwellers. If there is anything my operative can do to assist, do not hesitate to ask. I am as curious as I'm sure you are.

Greetings Captain,

Let me introduce myself. My name is Sinder Roze, head Datajack of the Data Angels. Mine are a people who believe in the free flow of information and the neccessity to often liberate that information.

I understand you have proven yourself a worthy friend to Prime Function Aki Zeta-Five, which I appreciate. Much like Aki's peoples have had to fight for their independance, as have mine. I appreciate a friend of a friend.

I hope Captain, that our people can work in peace. I must say, I like your style. There's something about Pirates that's very romantic. Would you consider a Treaty, cementing a new friendship? I can offer much in the way of trade, including routes to Morgan and Zakharov that would keep your presence hidden, something Aki tells me is a concern.

Your secret is safe with me,

Roze

OOC: I will do Cult, Hive, Drones and any other factions not yet controlled by a player only once in the while, to fill in the story. I can understand how the Cult discovered the pirates, they may of simply captured the Cyborg Probe Team which some pirate agents was with. But as for the Hive, they don't know about the pirates yet, but their foil can try to contact the two "unknown" foils moving towards them.
Oh, anothet thing i forgot to mention, how can some people from the Hive reach the cult??? Unless planetmind as some involvement of transporting them, but yet, the cult scares planetmind a bit.

TO: Nautilus of the Sea
FROM: Gun Foil Mariner

Sir, the Mariner and Unity have intercepted the Foreign Foil and was able to to disable its engines. So they are dead in the water, but they still can shoot.

Should we sink this foreign ship or attempt to capture it?

Greetings Datatech, it is nice hear from you. My faction is called the Nautilus Pirates and we live peacefully among the sea.

Your faction is interesting aswell, which is made up computer hackers and probe operatives. Both our factions are "pirates" at heart it seems, yet we also believe in peace and freedom.

We prefer to do trade by sea, but i would have to establish a base near your faction which may take awhile. But i agree in making a treaty with your faction. I have no intentions in trading with Morgan or University just yet.

It nice meeting you and if you do tell others of my faction, don't aspect to hear from us again.

The mindworm had made it. After a week from the hot, red wall he had reached cool, white wall. He slithered up into a large empty space with blinking screens with flashing things everywhere. He felt a small tug at his mind and suddenly understood everything that the screens said.
He decided to use this new understanding to find out how this thing got here. He went over to a screen that said COMMUNICATIONS over it. He started to read...

Hello, Unity. I hope your trip has been uneventful. I hope this because you carry a very valuable egg aboard your ship. It is called humanity. Our basket developed a hole and all of our eggs fell and broke. The eggs had names. They were: North America; South America; Europe; Asia; Africa; Australia; Antarctica. All of them splattered on the floor that is our Solar System. You know you people are very lucky to just be a popularity stunt. Very lucky. Just thought you would like to know who did it. Who pressed the button. Who broke the basket. It was ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am the one who cleansed the Earth. I AM THE ONE. They thought that it would be a good idea to transfer all controls of nuclear weapons of the U.S.A.; U.S.E(urope); and the Russian Federation to the U.N. Peacekeeping Forces. HAHAHAHA. Funny. You want to know why I did it? I won't tell you! You will have to think for thousands of years and you will never know. And I know you will never come back. NEVER. I just got a picture back from the ISS right before i blew it up. It showed the Earth. It looked like a burnt meatball. Volcanos everywhere. The surface of the earth burnt until everything was gone. EVERYTHING!

New technology discovered

Our scientist have succeeded in rediscovering the ability to build ships and use them on the seas.Earlier, the skimmer given as a gift from planetmind helped greatly the project.
Codenamed the Doctrine:Flexibility, the project will influence the lives of all the peacekeepers, as we live on a island that is surrounded by an ocean.
The remaining colony pod that was used for rescuing the inhabitants of UN High Comission is now being refitted for sea use and soon will be ready to do its job.
People have already volunteered to be colonists in soon-to.new sea colony.
The strange thing is that the volunteers are mostly from the rescued peacekeepers.

Report
From:Captain Golberg, Peacekeeper Skimmer
To:Comissioner Lal, New UN Headquarters

Sir, we are now near the west coast of the central continent and we´ve activated the E.C.T .Ready to transmit.

Also, I would like to report about a few interesting things we encountered through our trip.
Not only did we discover different planet miracles, like the huge Volcano-mountain that we named Mount Planet and the strange-boiling piece of ocean north of Mount Planet, but we detected small fleet of ships colored completely in dark blue(OOC:Hive), that turned hostile immediately they detected us, thank God we managed to escape.

Later on, we detected a base floating on water, as incredible as it seems(OOC:Privateer Quay, pirates).
Luckily they didn´t notice us and we continued our trip.
Now we are near the coast and the our radars constantly detect human movement and different human made facilities on the continent.

Private Message
From:Comissioner Lal
To:All Faction leaders in the Central Continent

Geetings, Friends.Some of you already know me, but to the rest, let me introduce myself.
I am Comisssaioner Pravin Lal, democraticly elected leader of a faction called the Peacekeepers.
We are people who uphold the the moral and ethical rules and values given to us all by the UN Charter.But most of all, we uphold peace and democracy.

Let me tell you all the bloody history our faction has suffered.
Years ago, when the remnants of humanity landed on this planet, the peacekeepers didn´t land here in this safe haven were are now, but to the continent east of yours.
There we lived peacefully and flourished.Until, that is, we encountered the Spartans.

The Spartans are a people who have devoted themselves to war.Their militaristic-facist ways lack completely any human rights.The leader of that faction is the ex-member of Yangs Unity security team, Colonel Corazon Santiago.She has twisted her poor followers into bloodythirsty warmachines.
So, after our disastrous first encounter with the Spartans, the war between our factions begun.
Fast and sure the Spartans were winning this war, so I finally ordered the evacuation of our population to a safe place, far from the Spartans.With the help of Planetmind that became possible.For now, I am not willing to uncover the location of this safe place.
If anybody wishes to trade with us, our traders will gladly trade on a neutral territory, in the condition that someone of you is willing commit one of his/hers faction base for trade open for all factions.

Seems that you have made peace with each other, that is good.
Still, in the name of the UN Charter, I want an explanation for you behavour, Academician Zakharov and why did you start in the first place the war against the Cybernetic Conciousness and the unjust imprisonment of your own people.

As you all are surely sensible people, I beg of you: Please, keep this peace on, because with war you cannot resolve things,only cause new hatred and anger.
Your true enemy isn´t on your continent, but on the continent east of you, in the form of the great, savage empires there.

Give time and patience to peace, and it will grow and flourish and all will find joy and happiness from the fruits it gives.

With regards,
Comissioner Pravin Lal

Greetings Comissoner,

I'm glad you have chosen to announce your presence to the other factions here. I believe many here can learn from your good example.

I understand your concern about being detected after what I have heard about this Santiago and her war crazed minions. I would offer Data DeCentral, or any of my more suitable bases as a centre for trade if you so desire.

The capture of a foreign foil...

Gun Foil Mariner and Unity Foil Unity were able to capture the foreign ship. Despite the radio propaganda which our foils as been receiving, they attack the foreign foil, that belonged to a Faction known as the Hive. Our foils took some damage, but was able to disable the enemies engines and board it. They received many casulties boarding the foil, but they have succeeded in capturing it. Currently, our foils is towing the captured foil to Privateer Quay.

Captain Ulrik Svensgaard release plans for a new base...

Svensgaard has release plans at a press conference to establish a new base north of the sea of unity, near Data Angels territory. This base will be mostly used as a trade center.


TO: Captain Ulrik Svensgaard
FROM: Branko, Chief of Intelligence

We have interogated the the remnant of the Hive crew of the Foil we captured. We were force to use lethal means to extract the information from, they are trained well. They are from the Hive Faction. It seems that the foil we captured isn't the only one they have. They built themselve small fleet of Foils. After lost of their foil, i am sure they'll be coming with force. We are surely not the only ones in the waters.

Hello Commissioner, I am Captain Ulrik Svensgaard of the Nautilus Pirates Faction. We live peacefully among the seas.

We have intercepted your message to the factions on the continent. University and the Morganites don't know of us, and prefer it that way. Don't think we have not detected your ship near one or our bases. (OOC: Pirates detected them, but didn;t know who it was. Ulrik is guessing. Also, if Mariner was still patrolling there, they would of intercepted the foil)

I already set out to establish a base near Data Angels territory and would be happy to have it available to your faction aswell.

I am sorry to hear about the spartans. We will be glad to help you out militarilly if they ever discover your "secret" location.

Greetings Lal,

I see you have risen and promoted yourself to be 'Leader of the UN forces of Chiron', quite a step for merely an ex-surgeon.

I assume you have heard from the other leaders how I 'unjustly' imprisoned several Cyborg agitators. The entire story was released in our newspaper once upon a time. I have the entire tale here.

The war is over now, but the truce will only last a few months and I have been called to a 'trial' to see just how 'unjustly' I treated the Cyborg prisoners. As you have seen in my official statement, they were not mistreated under the UN charter; and as all Cyborgs are truly just genetially-engineered citizens of the University, they all belong under the banner or the University and unity.

Genetic Experiments: The Entire Story

"Yes, we have committed some, as you might say 'genetic atrocities' like the Cyborgs and many other creations you may not have known about until today, but we have only created them in the interest of research of the human genome.

"The human genome must be completely cracked, and when it is we will be able to elliminate colorblindness, hemophilia, Huntington's Disease (Lou Gehrig's disease) and countless other diseases from the gene pool.

"However, this will mean that some marriages will be restricted due to the high probablility of a deformed child resulting from the marriage. But, within a few generations marriages will once again be unrestricted, but until that day, we ask you to bear the load."

Reporter Denny Stevens-King

Banning of Smoking, Alcohol

Today Zakharov stated an affirmitive ban on the use of cigarettes and alcohol stating a diminished amount of productivity in workers and a higher death rate as the reason.

Many were not happy about this move; but, all of the well informed about the nature of these drugs relished the opportunity to ban them once and for all.

That is why Zakharov is initiationg an awareness campaign about the dangers of alcohol and cigarettes.

The penalties for the use of these banned substances are:
1. purging from your system of the 'drug'
2. a 6-week program to get you off the 'drugs'

I am glad to meet you , Captain Svengaard.

As you have heard our grim story from the message you intercepted, I don´t need to tell it again.It pains me every time.
Captain, I thank you for your offer for military assistance,but that will not be needed as my people are under the protection of planetmind.
Concerning the trade offer, I will make it one better.As I have read you psych evaluation, I believe you are and your people can be trusted.

The deal is here.My fleet consists of only one skimmer
and as we are on an island, we have no way to transport our good but by seas.
So, I will reveal our secret location, so your trade ships can work as transports for peacekeeper goods.I believe that you people will profit greatly, as every good that come or goes out of here will go through your bases, and you can tax them as much as you wish.
Furthermore, your faction could be a linkage between other factions, as you have an oppurtunity to create a great trade network, as the ancient greek and Vikings did.
Please consider this, Captain.It will surely advance peace between factions greatly.

We are located on a island, at these coordinates.

Greetings Datajack Roze,

I have made contact with our friends, the Nautilus Pirates, and i have made a suggestion of a plan in grand scale.The pirates could start transporting goods , profiting themselves and all their trade companions.

So, I´d like to invite you to that trade alliance, if the pirates agree to the alliance though.

This would mean the restoration of global communication and advance peace and prosperity everywhere.

In the case that this alliance becomes reality, I would like you to spread the word between to the other factions on your continent, as it seems those other factions trust you.

Greetings to you also, Academician

I will be neutral in this matter, as I do not have any powerful evidences.

However, the ex-university citizens, the Cyborgs have their human rights also as they ARE humans, who have been just enchanced.Furthermore that has happened by their own will, so it is completely legitimate AND they have the right to choose where they live or in what faction.

I will believe you, Academician Zakharov, for now.
The trial seems to be the only way to make permanent peace.
