The Chiron Chronicle IV: 2180

Votes from factions not runned by a Player

Hive votes abstains, not really caring wether Antimind can attend Council meetings or not. disliking it, agrees with the Pirates views. They weren't at the first meeting where they voted to allow Planetmind to the Council or not.

Free Drones votes Yea. they agree with pirates, but vote against Antimind in hope to please Planetmind enough to stop attacking their bases/units :P especially when they are having trouble with Hive at the borders.

Believers votes Yea, also stating they should have another vote about Planetmind being allowed to attend the Council or not, since they weren't at the first Council meeting when they had the vote.

Peacekeepers votes Yea, since they are friends with Planetmind and Gaians.

Gaians votes Yea. like of course, Antimind first captured one of their biggest bases back when the Antimind showed up at The Ruins. (but Gaians got back about a decade later, but in bad shape with half or most of population missing, or dead or "assimilated") Also, they are good friends with Planetmind too.

In council Base

The Minister of Intelligence, Alexandro Demeneras was the official Spartan representative in council voting.

As he pondered with the little information he had about antimind, whether to exclude the thing out of here or not.

When his turn came, he commented, "we´ve never liked you worm suckers", and pushed the ´Yea´ button.

He immediately could feel Antiminds rage in his head, turning into pain.For a normal person, that is.For him, the pain was pure pleasure.

Somewhere in Chiron Sea

A small pod was floating in cold sea.An ordinary Unity pod.
On the evening horizon there was a ship and it was coming towards the pod.

The Peacekeeper trade freighter "Apollon" took hold of the pod with special graps ,that were as if made for unity pods.It hauled the pod on its deck and the graps let go.

The crew had gathered in front of the pod, in anticipation to see what was in the unity pod.Everybody hoped this pod would make them rich, and it could be seen from their faces.
The Captain had the honor to open the front hatch.

As she opened it, bursts of impact weapon rounds came out of the pod, effectively ending the captains life and several of the crews.The rest tried to run from the deadly pod and the Spartan Elite probe team, but to no awail.
Whom the Spartans didn´t kill on the main deck, they were hunted down and eliminated.

Finally when the bloody work was done, the Spartans hacked the freighters system with little effort and gained complete control of it, before any distress messages could be sent.

Soon, more ships could be seen in the horizon.
They were Spartan ships, two war foils and two attack foils.The attack foils ensured that nobody would see them.
One of the war foils stopped besides the captured freighter and Spartan soldiers started pouring in.

After a while, the Spartans had taken the uniforms of the PK crew, and now acted like them.

The spartan War ships left soon after, with them the Elite probe team, all of them pleased with the success of this mission.

The Freighter ship Apollon started slowly moving towards its destination, the Pk island, this time a wolf disguised as a lamb.

The University Sun-Governor
2-27-80

Antimind revoked from Attending Council

The UN Council on Chiron voted overwhelmingly to disallow the "Antimind" to attend the meeting... This has angered the Antimind, but our leader sees no reason for it to be so angered; for the Council is a useless figurehead for society that never truly has accomplished anything and thus is not useful to attend.

CEO Morgan shares Zakharov's views.

A possible alliance between the University/Morganites and Antimind is being discussed at this very moment in the deep recesses of the Morgan jungles.

[[LordLMP]]

Planet Council Base

When the vote ended, Antimind's representive stampedes out of the Council. The Antimind rep pretty much went out, beat up some security guards from various factions, but no gun shots. The AM rep quickly returned to its Foil. Meanwhile, Captain Svensgaard ordered some Probes to follow her and make sure she doesn't create some mischief. Some of the Nautilus ships has been keeping an eye on the Antimind Foil, with all guns pointing at it. IF the Foil shows any indication of hostily, from firing weaponry to engine overload, the ships are to destroy it immediatly.

The voting process for a the new Planarery Governor will begin in several days.

Psionic Link to Freighter Apollon...

Isle Guard hailing EarthKeeper freighter Apollon. You are back early. Please transmit codes.

Freighter Apollon...

"What codes?" the Spartan captian asked the strange voice coming through the radio grille.

""The codes. You should transmit very soon or you will feel an unpleasant wave of sickness which will end in the vomiting up of your internal organs""

"Little Bo Peep, this is Lost Sheep. You cannot find us," said the Spartan captian. This was the code he thought he would never have to say on a mission aganst Peacekeepers. The code was for all ships to halt because of unseen enemy warships.


Off the coast of the PCB...

""Diplo, you have done your best. But your best was not good enough...""

"Please have mercy.."

""NO! THAT IS ENOUGH! ACTIVATE THE FISSION CUT OUT!""

"But tha..that will vaporize this ship! Hey...why am I turning?"

""It is part of the plan. When we are two miles away from the base pull the fission cut out switch.""

"But the Pirates..."

""THEY ARE OF NO CONCERN! IT IS TIME! PULL IT NOW!""

"Y..ye..yes Lord Mind."

A millisecond before the crazed Gaian pulled the cut out switch there was a huge dusturbence in the water. A sealurk, fire in its eye, smacked the small foil so that it would hurtle through the air, like a nuclear missle. The foil's engines cut out as it hit a Pirateship. Then the reactor blew, lighting up the sky with unparalleled fireworks. Not even Safe Haven could match it. The Planetmind representitive pressed itself aganst a window, watching as pieces of the Pirateship smacked aganst the pressure dome.

(Sorry about any mistakes there are, I'm writing this at 1 am)

[Cyber]

Planetary Council Base

Alexandro Demeneras watched the vidcom in his room that was transmitting picture of the fiery fire works happening outside.The pieces of the Gaian and Pirate foils had done little damage on the base itself, so this was more of a symbolic attack.
He found all of it amusing.

A moment later, a voice coming from the ventilation duct whispered.
"Job done, Sir.Anything else?"

"Finally, now give me the data crystal...", Demeneras went below the ventilation duct hole.At same moment a small crystal fell down, caught quickly by the minister.

"Ahh, excellent.Good job, you and your team are relieved for now.Go back to the transport.I´ll call you if you are needed."

Now there were voices of movement coming out of the duct and then a sharp beep.That meant the Spartan Security system was online again.

Demeneras went to his computer and placed the data crystal in.Soon, pages after pages of information started pouring on the screen about the other factions.
He quickly established a secure diplomatic link with the transport and then started to transmit the data
, through its enchanced communication devices, back home.

OOC: *blinks* okay, so the pirates lost two Foils by a Foil batted by a Sealurk which exploded. quite unconventional

Planetary Council Base

Captain Svensgaard received the reports concerning the lost of the two Foils. One was completly destroyed, and the second sunk. There was only few survivors from the second. The lost of the Foils expendable, true, but its crew weren't. Orders all other Foils and Cruisers in the area to fire upon any Antimind vessels, like that sealurk that batted the Gaian Foil.

He soon contacts Planetmind, telling hir that after this slaughter of his people, Antimind is going down. All Pirate ships will co-ordinare with any Planetmind units in the eradication of Antimind vessals/worms.

On Freighter Apollon
Recorded by the ships log


"Okay, People!" The captain rummaged through ship-wide communication system. "This is no exercise, put your anti-psionic helmets on now!".

The helmets were designed to dampen the effect of psionic attacks, but in reality they helped barely.Hopefully enough so that the crew wouldn´t puke up their internal organs.

The captain then turned towards the ships engineering officer.
"Ready the reactors." He commanded.

Most of the cargo had been dumped and replaced by two more reactors.Combined with the ships original reactor, they could deliver a multi-megaton explosÃon that would devastate all nearby areas, especially populated ones.But this was just as a precaution.

After that, the captain commanded the comm. officer to open a link with the Isle Guard.

"This is the captain of Freighter ship Apollon speaking.We have some minor problems with the onboard computer and the reactor.Its nothing serious, but we are unable to transmit any codes, except jibberish, until we can dock in some port and get some decent help."

Isle Guard IoD near Freighter Apollon...

I have receaved your message. Do you need assistance quickly? I can grow towing worms as fast as five days. I am already enroute. Does your crew feel alright? You seem to feel dark inside...

Antimind-Class Foil near Freighter Apollon...

"Lord Mind?"

""Yes?""

"The Peacekeeper foil has stopped after getting several shielded psionic messages from an isle that is eluding my sensors. What should I do?"

""Keep the Earthship metal around you and sink low in the water. Stay there for now.""

"Yes lord."

OOC: Decided that it is better to start a new game year with a new thread, just to say. more easier Moderators only can do that

Planetary Council Base

The Planatery Governor election will start soon.

Ranking of factions by amount of votes they have:

1.Believer ( very large pop due to growth bonus, lots of bases)

2. Hive (lots of bases, large pop)
Peacekeepers (growth bonus, vote bonus, above average in pop)

3. Pirates (lots of bases, above average in pop)
Spartans (average amount of bases, large pop)

4. Data Angels (above average # of bases, above average in pop)
Free Drones (average # of bases, above average in pop)

5. Cyborgs, Morgan, University and Gaians
(average # of bases, average pop)

6. Cult (just under average # of bases and under average in pop)

as for Planetmind, it will be hard. if you can every single worm that PM controls, s/he pretty much outnumber all of the human pop 2 to 10 times.
council decided before for each boil PM controls equals as one vote. But I don't think PM as a huge army of mindworms. also, atleast need 2 human factions to vote is needed for PM to become Governor, if ever. of course, who is really interested in having Planetmind as Planatery Governor? :P

Morgan and University not voting

Five Main candidates:

Lal (really interested in winning again)
Yang (sure he would want to be governor, more power)
Miriam (interested, but depends. their new to council)
Svensgaard (doesn't really care if he is governor or not. more willing to vote for someone else, but if two or three factions vote for him, will vote for himself)
Sandiego (depends on Cyber )

It is possible for rest to win election, but would need lots of votes from other faction(s) to do so.

Very Large Pop: 5 vote points
Large Pop: 4 vote points
Abover Average Pop: 3 vote points
Average Pop: 2 vote points
Under Average Pop: 1 vote point

Peacekeepers would 2 points extra due to vote bonus, bringing Lal up 5 points.

The faction with highest amount of points become Planetary Governing Faction

lot simpler this way then figuring out how many votes exactly each faction has. that is required to tally the pop of all bases..... to many bases for that.
is everyone okay with this?

Success of the Values Changing Program

Changing the values of the common people has so far been a success.Santiago and the Junta have both shown their pleasement with the quick progress so far.The progress can be now seen in even a larger respect and worship towards the military and the government.Masses of young trainees have enlisted themselves into the military and those who cannot have organised themselves into voluntary defense forces in bases around our nation.

The common people describe this change as the value of Power.Power seems novadays in our good society to be more valuable than even the largest sum of credits.
The critisizers point out, that power is consentrating to group of people, which they refer as the "Nobles".However, officials reject this and say that anybody can gather power and respect, if he/she tries and has what is needed for the job.

The effects of changing the values can be seen also in the increased morale of our troops.Recent attacks on the hive front have been successfully defended with a crushing zeal for victory and genious strategies.

The Program is not over yet, however, as the new values have to be embedded firmly into the society and that will take some time, but not long with this rate.

Strange rumours have been heard about a cult dedicated to worshipping War, starting to form.They seem to worship War as a God and allmighty progress and think Colonel Santiago is the messenger of this God.Once again, officials have denied these rumours.
Is this one of the side effects of the new values or not, we shall see.


From: Minister of Industry
To: Colonel Santiago
Subject: Bad signs for the industry

Colonel, the industry is going soon into a dowslope.The huge investments on new industrial facilities have not paid off, and we are starting to run out of workers, as everybody is running to the military with the new boom going on.We have to get cheap new workers and fast, before its too late.Preferably Hive workers, they atleast know the true meaning of work and they aren´t going to run off to play wargames.

Seriously, we´ll be soon in trouble if we don´t do something.
However, we have the alternative of inventing new technology, but it requires you to convince the rest of the stubborn, jack-ass Junta to come down from their big plans and to invest more resources to my research people, just a little bit and I promise you, you will have new industrial gadgets to build you more wartoys .

Your good friend and Minister of Industry,
Paul Goodman

From:Colonel Santiago
To: Foreman Domai of Free Drones

Greetings again, Foreman Domai.Straight to business, I would like you vote me in the planetary council, in the name of our friendship and joint efforts against the Hive.
I know I can´t possibly win, but atleast we from the eastern continent can show them we stick together.Remember, the only one who has helped you are we and none of the others.Who knows, all the others will probably vote for that pathetic Lal, or even Yang as the planetary Governor.

Representing your dear friends, The Spartans,
Colonel Santiago

From:Alexandro Demeneras
To:Captain Svensgaard, The nautilus Pirates

Greetings Captain, I am the official representative of The Spartan Federation, all rights given by Colonel Santiago.On the behalf of our federation, I wish to negotiate a peace treaty between our two factions to solidify our relationship.

I have noticed that you try, or better yet, you are a kind of worldseas police.But please, we also wish to expand into the seas as everything else is getting claustrophobic here on the continents.So, please don´t start fighting us in Chiron Sea, and if its possible move out of there.This not a threat or a ultimatum, but you seem to have nothing important in this area.You can still defend the Peacekeepers if you so wish, but we have no interest in them novadays.The war between us and the PK has ended a long time ago and they are no threat us.

Needljets seen above Sparta Command!

Do not worry people, they are our own.This information was confirmed by the Ministry of Research today.For the past two years they have been researching, in confidential of course, Doctrine:Air Power.

Yesterday, two prototype Needlejets made a prank detour through Sparta Command, to finally show the public about the existance of a Spartan airforce.Our skies are now secured, and our military even greater.

Already most of our bases have been commanded to start building atleast somekind of airstrips to support our future armada.But only the biggest bases at this time will build an aerospace complex, as they have the needed industrial capacity to build needlejets and other airplanes.


From: Colonel Santiago
To:Minister of Colonization and expansion

Minister, the first expansion fleet is ready, I think it is time for you to start building sea colony pods and seaformers for helping them.
Also, I´d like you to build atleast one airbase on the group of island, in front of Assassins Redoubt, and another one somewhere in the wastes north, but keep the latter a secret, okay?.

Your Ruler,
Colonel Santiago



To Isle Guard from Freighter Apollons Spartan Captain

Five days is too long, don´t worry we can limp to the nearest port.
The small amounts of radiation coming from the reactor might be making my crew feel a little...sick.But again, don´t worry.We´ve all taken the anti-radiation pill, which should easily neutralise such small radiation amounts.
Anyways, thank you for your offers of help.
