The Chiron Chronicle IV: 2180

From: Alexandro Demeneras
To:Colonel Santiago

Distressing news, Colonel.As you can check from the information about other factions, seems that a part of the Pk´s have moved back to their old dwellings, south of the Dunes.
Somewhere in the past decades, the Pk´s have divided into two:The peaceloving suckers and the more reasonable War ones.Many of these War using PK´s are either the people who were rescued from War Outpost, their descendants or relatives.

And now, it seems, they have returned seeking revenge, their objective being to "Free" War Outpost, a base where our southern army resides, and then modestly, the destruction of the Spartan Federation.
Frankly, this all makes me laugh.

However, we could solve a ton of internal problems by wiping these bugs out of our land, and then colonising it.
According to my estimates, constructed from the information we have gathered here and rumours, the War ones have more powerful military than their predesessor but our southern army can probably hold them easily away from Spartan territory and with the help of one or two more armies, we can once again push them into the sea.
A problem might be Planetmind.PM´s power on our territories is nil, but south of the Dunes, who knows?
PlanetM still continues to help the Peacekeepers, atleast the peaceful ones, I don´t about the War ones.

We should hurry with our attack, still while they are preparing theirs.

Roze to Send Two More Ships

An announcement was recieved today that two more ships will be sent to the Planetary Council Base today, in light of the recent attacks that occured there. The move is to bolster the defences there, due to the recent hostilities initiated by the Anti-mind. The ships will be top of the line, fairly new off the production block, and will not reduce coverage of Allied trading vessals.

Greetings Foreman,
Although we have not had much of a chance to speak outside of the Planetary Council, I thought it best we opened communications between our peoples.
I'm not going to beat around the bush, Foreman. With the upcoming elections, it is obvious as to the reason for my call. While you may not see the immediate benefit of the situation, I do hope you will consider voting for Comissoner Lal. He holds a position of respect with the Unity Command Crew, and in the hearts of most people. He also has held true to his promise to uphold the UN Charter. I'm sure this is something that you can appreciate, as your are such an avid supporter of people's rights.
I assure you that most of the Chiron Alliance is likely to back Lal as he is currently the safest choice, and will do a respectable job. And I'm sure, that if you were to vote with us, an application to join the benefits of our little trade alliance would be enhanced greatly. Think it over Foreman,

Sinder Roze.

To:Alexandro Demeneras
From:Captain Svensgaard

Having a peace treaty with the Spartans would benefit both our people, but your faction doesn't have the best of reputation thought. Do have to realize that the Nautilus Pirates is allied both to the Peacekeepers and Planetmind. So any peace treaty with the Spartans is not possible, unless your faction change their ways. Doesn't mean we are at war, simply means we have no relations at all. We have no problems with the Spartans.

As for your faction colonizing the sea, we are okay with it, aslong as your faction respect our borders. But we cannot simply leave Chiron Sea, as we have establish several bases there and we are responsible to defend the trading lanes and our allies in the area.

To:Colonel Santiago
From: Foreman Domai

Greetings Sandiego. It is true that your faction has helped mines defend against the Hive, but as for your faction as being the only one who ever helped us is entirely true. Even if i vote for you Sandiego, what makes you think you'd be able to win? The Spartans don't seem to have the greatest of reputation among the other factions. Doubtful they will vote for Hive either, has they have been into war several times.
I may simply abstain.

Foreman Domai


To: Datajack Sinder Roze
From: Foreman Domai

Greetings Roze. I do agree Lal is a good leader with good intentions, but I cannot vote for him. Do have to realizes that my faction are neighbours with the Spartans, who are currently helping us defend against the Hive. My faction is in no position to fight a two front war. I am interested in being part of the Chiron Alliance, but the requirement of a Green economy is not possible. My faction thrives from our Industries and we need it as well to maintain our military force which we need to defend against the Hive and Planetmind. Free Drones is in very bad position.
I may end up abstaining.

To: General Braddock, Pro-War PKs Commander
From: Commissioner Lal, Peacekeeper Leader


General Braddock, your request to attack the Spartans as been denied. Our faction cannot declare war, even as to what the Spartans as done to us before. That is 60 years ago. But I cannot disband your forces which you built either, which has help keep an eye on the Hive and the Spartans. I do say this thought, if the Spartans ever again attack us and/or declare war upon us, then your army sha'll be allowed to commence its war plans.

I know you lost your wife and child back at U.N. High Commission(War Outpost now), but revenge is not always the option to bring them justice.

Commissioner Lal

[Cyber]

From: Alexandro Demeneras
To: Captain Svensgaard, Nautilus pirates

My dear captain, forget about the alliance.This is between our two factions.
Don´t you see the hierarchy of your alliance? Lal leads, you do the work and everybody else ripes the fruits.You are pirates, not some pitiful Hive workers.
You are our counterparts; on sea your power is unquestionable, on land our power is unquestionable.

We know, when somebody is better than us in certain areas, so we wish to secure ourselves and avoid any future conflicts.This peace treaty is completely between us, not the Chiron alliance.You are still an independant faction, don´t let the alliance affect too strongly your choices.
Forget about the propaganda the peacekeepers have preached against us, there is no point in any talks if no one is willing to forget past deeds.However, I will not start to apologise anyone about what my people have done in the past.
Think about it again, and give me an answer.Spartans would be valuable friends to you, and vice verca.

Minister of Intelligence,
Alexandro Demeneras

Alexandro, take it easy, we aren´t going to attack unprovoked this time.Let the peacekeepers come to us, I know they will.They have come this far so its only a matter of time.
To swiften things a little, I have sent small rover groups to find the new PK bases, that share border with us.Then the rovers will start to buzz around, to annoy them until they open fire and that means war.
The damned PK´s better not use the excuse, about us tresspassing into their territory as they themselves have taken the land we conquered, and without even announcing themselves.


From: Colonel Santiago
To: Foreman Domai, Free Drones

As you wish, Foreman.I never said I´m trying to win the elections, just wanted to show that we eastern factions are united.
I will not start to pressure you, however.Vote whoever you wish.

Freighter Ship Apollon in UN SeaQuest repair docks.
Recorded by ships logs, starting at 21.35pm

"Captain, the repair team is requesting to get in."

"Then, let them in and show them the reactor.If they start snooping around, kill them, but quietly."

All had been set ready.The reactor had been damaged on purpose and the computer had been set to malfunction.Most of the hard drives formatted with the codes inside, as if it had been an accident caused by shortcuts, because of the reactors power fluctuation.

After a while the monitoring cameras were watching as some lazy looking repair crew were escorted to the damaged reactor.
Meanwhile, one team of Spartan infiltration specialists brake into the nearby freighter ship Korsakov´s empty bridge and start hacking its systems, the primary objective being to find the passing codes.
While the repair team does its job on the reactor, the infiltration team is succesful and returns to freighter Apollon with the codes.
Soon after the repair team comes to "repair" the computers.

"Okay, its ready.We don´t have much time here, so you´ll have to do the software side yourself.Oh, by the way, do you have a backup of the codes."

""Yes, here they are.""The Captain smiled and showed a small data crystal with the passing codes.
""You can check, if you want.""

"No, thank you, I believe you.Well, everythings ready, so we´ll be leaving now."

""Thank you very much for your help.Officer Gratin, escort these gentlemen out please.""

As the Captain watched from the bridge window how the mechanics went into their service trucks and drove away, he laughed in his mind.
"Yes, Thank you very much, my ignorant friend.You have just assured the Spartans a route into the heart of the Peacekeepers."
He then turned away from the window.

"Hows the faking of our ID´s going?", he asked from one of the officers sitting in front of the ships central computer.
The ID´s in the ship had been faked, but the copies in the peacekeeper central information stores hadn´t been ,yet.

""Two more hours, and its ready. These systems are incredibly well protected.Fortunately, when the PK´s transported here, they took most of their old computer network with them, and the old accounts and the passwords to them still work.Guess they were too lazy to clean them, underestimated them, or just didn´t notice them.So, the passwords we´ve extracted from POW´s a long time ago are still usable, can you imagine?""

Lal doesn't lead the alliance, no one does actually. All equals we are, as my faction as one of the most influencial. What the peacekeepers say about your people as nothing to do with my decision, as we already infiltrated your faction decades ago. So we know how much we could trust your people or not, and I don't.

From:Alexandro Demeneras
To:Captain Svensgaard, Nautilus Pirates

Do whatever you deem appropriate, Captain, I won´t start begging.If you wish for no assuring treaty between us, that is your choice, but that means you should watch to not anger us, because we have the tendency to wage war to the bitter end.
But I can promise you, we won´t start any hostilities against you, though we will be watching you and your faction.

By the way, in the same, I would like to announce that we are soon starting a large-scale colonisation of Chiron Sea.

OOC: Cyber, it would have been nice to give me a chance to respond before you went into the docks. Not only the IoD but the AntiMind foil near you...

AntiMind-Class Foil, near SeaQuest Repair Docks...

"Lord?"

""WHAT NOW?""

"Well, Lord Mind, the freighter seemed to fool Planetmind's defence screen and managed to reach their docks. What should I do?"

""Open your mind to me and turn on the transmitter. We cannot allow those Spartans to ruin everything!"

"Spartan" Signal On All PK Radio Waves...

THIS IS MOTHER SHEEP TO S-P-A-R-T-A-N PROBE TEAM IN THE S-E-A-Q-U-E-S-T DOCK!!! PLEASE RESPOND!

Planetary Base Security Forces a Threat

Our Head Academican has just denounced the Security Forces at the Planetary Council Base as a threat to University life and security.

He has filed an official report with Commissioner Lal requesting that he order 25% of the 'Protection Ships' deported from the council base.

Zakharov Announces Intention to Run

Considering that the other faction leaders no longer wish to question his integrity and his usefulness as leader, Zakharov has announced his intention to run for Head Academician later this year.

[[LordLMP]]

To:Alexandro Demeneras, Spartans
From:Captain Svensgaard, Nautilus Pirates

You can colonize Chiron Sea, aslong as your sea bases are not place near ours and that your ships respect our territorial waters and the trading lanes.

Captain Svensgaard

To: Admiral Proudmore, Third Fleet, Chiron Sea
From: Nautilus of the Sea

Do be warned Admiral that the Spartans are planning some large-scale colonization of Chiron Sea. I suggest that your fleet keeps an watch on them and make sure they don't intefere with the trading routes.

Captain Svensgaard

To: Branko, Chief of Intelligence
From: Captain Svensgaard

Branko, can you send some Probe Teams to check up on the Spartans as to what exactly they are up to?

Also, found anything from the Antimind Foil wreckage and Antimind in general?

Captain Svensgaard

To: Captain Svensgaard
From: Branko

Our Probe Team didn't find anything useful from the wreckage. So no clues as to how they avoided our ships sensors. I suggest that we try capturing another Antimind ship, if possible.

As for where it came from is unknown. There is still some unexplored areas on Planet where they may have their hidden base.

NAUTILUS SAILOR NEWS

Morgan representives showed at the Planetary Council...

It seems the Morganites are still interested on the Council after all. There is rumours that they may yet again accuse our faction for monopolizing naval trade and so on. As to wether they will vote or not is still unknown.

Commisioner Lal's reply to Head Academican of University...

"Head Academican, I cannot see how the Security Forces of Planetary Council Base could be a threat to University. They are there to protect the base, nothing else. Many of the ships currently there are ships from various factions who have escorted their leader/representive to PCB. They will not stay there. And after the recent attack from Antimind, it is better that we don't deport any ships. "

Planetary Governor elections begins tommorrow...

The elections will begin tommorrow at Planetary Council Base.

To: Commisioner Lal
From: General Braddock

Lal, I just want report that we detected some Spartan rovers entering the Dunes and buzzing around near U.N. Haven City. Currently sending some Missile Rovers to intercept. They are tresspassing into our territory.

What would you prefer we do? I say we just eliminate those nosing Spartans, since we don't currently have any formal relations with them.

To: General Braddock
From: Commissioner Lal

I would prefer that your units simply advise them that they are in Peacekeeper territory and are asked to leave. Have your units surround them and prevent them from getting any deeper within our territory. And make sure your units do not fire upon them!. We are to avoid war at all cost.

Commissioner Lal

U.N. SeaQuest

After the receiving that signal, the base goes on security alert. Security Garrisons spread all over the base to locate the Spartan Probe Team while some nearby Peacekeeper Foils move towards the base to prevent any merchant/civilian ships from leaving or entering the base. The comminications people at in the base will be trying to find out where that signal came from. The Governor quickly sends a message to U.N. Headquarters.
