Maybe I should reconsider; a full pause of two months might make me seem uninterested in BAC.

Btw, that planet buster would never pass the Andromeda Protectors:

It is to be remarked that there is a very rare variant of the Andromeda Command Ship. There are only three of these Andromeda Protectors, which are the fastest warships serving the Coalition with a maximum speed of .22 lightyears per hour. These three vessels are commanding, along with three regular Andromedas, the six Battle Squadrons forming the final line of defense on Earth and it's Moon and are used as a quick response reserve force should a LINK Code One Defensive Emergency END LINK take place.

And even if they failed, the Orbital Defence Grid would at least stop them.

Edit: Anyone know a dashing-sounding variation/conjugation of the word Protect; in Latin if possible?

[History Guy]

Grunt! Kassiopeia, looking forward to your post. Beware our orbital cannons, OK? Whoooops...why am I telling you, you're the enemy!!

Orbital Defense Grid? Man! You Terrans have everything!

Latin:

Protector-- tueri, protegere, defendere, custodire
Protection-- praesidium, tutela
Protector-- defensor, patronus

[Sprayber]

Gee. I guess everyone is bound and determined to have a human wide war.

One problem that will come up is that of the PKs. They are a large player in the human systems. I can see the Gaians and Cyborgs staying out of it, but the PK are just too big of a player to remain silant especially since they lie between everyone that is fighting. The Terrans should remember that even though the PK may be democratic and peace loving they won't allow the Terrans to become too large. I would bet even Yang figures that he will have to fight then eventually.

[Cybergod]

KASS!!!

We have sent you not one but TWO messages and are in the process of returning the Terran prisoners. But what do we get in return??? Nothing...

Sorry, but I just couldn't resist lashing out...

[History Guy]

Sprayber, concerning Guardian, I PMed him a few hours ago. I'll tell you when I get another response. He at first said that he could only do this rarely and that if you find another guy to do it that'd be fine with him, or that maybe he could make "guest appearances" every so often. I PMed him a few minutes back, and so I'll tell you what he says!

[Kassiopeia]

Oh, thanks History. I won't start studying Latin until this August, I am afraid.

Hey, cut me some slack here! Mah post is goin', it's goin'!

Ok, some things to note:

About Sym.

I didn't have time to finish my part on him yet - so please, don't post anything about him, not until I'm done with him.

Btw, if you can't find him in the post, too bad.

About Battle of Samnos

I was thinking - now the ECSN is in place - so what about the Hive comes in now?

Also, I believe I have responded to any possible message. I have declared war on the MI, officially, and the Conclave.

The Novan clan shall be next in line, aye?

Ok, going to post the darn thing...

[Sovereign]

Guys, I probably won't be able to post until the weekend, or next week. My father is visiting me and it has been kind of hectic lately.

BTW today's my birthday!

This morning I went to the mirror and checked my hair and found a single gray strand of hair. And I'm 20!

Anyway, expect a PM, FC and Lonestar.

I'd like to try and make amends or try to reach an understanding with Ian, that I had no intention of invading his systems, and that I had no idea about Protectorate's policies or even its existence until they fired on me first. Hopefully University can stay at peace with Protectorate without further aggression.

Well, I'm having several exams in a week's time, so don't expect anything big from me either.

BTW today's my birthday!

Congratulations!

...or not?

[Lonestar]

Kass, as the Protectorate has offered to Morgan Intersteller to mediate the TA/EC-MI/Believers/Saturnia conflict, can I have a Protectorate vessel arrive in the Sol System and reveal/offer to mediate?

[Cybergod]

Kass, sorry for lashing out. Forgive me?

But what exactly are Greg and Filkins doing??? And Mr Missym? He was meant to assume Office Kain's identity! (look at moi's post before the last one) So probably Mr Myssym Kain

So, what exactly do you mean by:

Because of this, the Coalition wishes that if either one of both of these stations submit to you, the Maya station is emptied of Titanian sympathizers, with the loyal Coalition citizens, infrastructure and operations left for the Coalition to rehabitate.

You can have the Aztec station, however, on the condition that the agricultural hardware and components of our choice be removed and shipped to Maya station.

Please explain it to me here. I do not understand.

I am confused because if you force the Maya station to be emptied of Saturn Kingdom's sympathisers, this suggests ethical "cleaning" of your "territories". We might appeal to TA if you force their "removal" from any station orbiting Titan. And we will not stop any military action their rebel forces might take in case bloodshed breaks out.

And yet you forbid us the rightful ownership of the Saturnian moons??? We will be sending diplomatic teams to discuss our relations in very near future.

Maria Sanchez's plans for the forseable future are:

* Legalise the Kingdom's ownership of the Saturnian territories and moons
* Finish the covert deals with Morgan
* If bloodshed occurs around the SSSH colonies, covertly finance rebelions
* If violence escalates then build up Navies and hire Belters

...( far later)

* Unify the whole Saturn region under the Saturn Kingdom's banner
* Secure the heir to the Saturnian throne by making Nicholas Populos' son her legal heir. BTW his name will be Konstantin
* Open up relations with every other faction and stay out of wars as much as possible
* Encase the Saturn region in the most powerful defences awailable

....(possible exotic plans)
* Finance rebellions on the Jovian moons
* Attack EC's military outposts on the outer planets

I wonder what our relations with the Hive would be throughout all this...

History guy. Since the Proctectorate has showed themselves to Morgan is it safe to assume that he will inform Kessel and the Spartans about their existence? Or do we have to find out through other means.


Kass: Kessel is going to send one more message to the Terrans, if there isn't a response then they he will assume that there is war and the next Spartans they see won't be so eager to just talk

Franky and General: Do you guys think that the Spartans aren't listening both around Firaxis Prime and the Cadre's planet? Don't bet too much on it.

Mellian The Spartans have recently began thinking about bringing the Progenators into human space. Not necessarly as allies but as tools to wreck havoc on the emerging trends that they see. It would be too bad if the Progenators found out that there was a manifold world somewhere near Earth. Too bad indeed. Hey if the Terrans want a war, then the Spartans will be more than happy to set them up with one. Maybe its time that the Terrans felt Progenator energy weapons.

Hmm... Lonestar what would your relations with my little Kingdom be like? I mean we both have hostile dealings with the Hive now...

::nearly gets hit by a flying keyboard from frankychan::

Phew! That was close...

[History Guy]

I don't believe Morgan would see it as prudent to respond to Kass's declaration of war, except to offer peace talks.

Next in the Samnos and Naxos fights...Kass, Franky, will you both converge on Samnos and Naxos simualtenously, or one at a time? Either way, both attacks will cost you, even now my men know of your arrival!!

Kass, what happened to Kvaener? His death scene has a remarkably Morganish ring to it.

Sovereign-- Happy Birthday!!

Cyber-- I know this is kinda odd to ask, but why will the British Popullus have a son named Konstantin? Is the girl Russian or Eastern European? I think that Nicholas, who seems to be a Brit with a Greek last name, would more likely call him 'Constantine'.

Sprayber-- You can assume thus. We will, when we think it prudent, inform you covertly. We hide nothing from our allies.

[Frankychan]

Wow! I sign on and I see twenty million new posts!

All you guys are too much! Some pretty funny postings going on here.

Ok let's address ppl

Cybergod- Since our relationship is not officially hostile, I would still be open to Saturnians pledge of non-aggression to Hive forces....for now.

History Guy- All I gotta say is that you make me laugh. As for Samnos/Naxos, I gotta see...I thought a Hive agent (Officer Shantoi) rescued Mr. Sym from the Saturnian officials, not a member of the Black Shadow organization?.......unless the Shadow's helped the Hive...

Sprayber- I figured that our eternal foes, the Spartans, would have their ear to the ground (so to speak). I remain true to the beginnings of BAC and still consider Kessel our #1 threat. (Remember my PM from waaay back?) All Yang's wheeling and dealing all relates to how the Hive will deal with Sparta.

Sovereign- Happy B-Day! I think that so long as the University does not aid or ally w/the Protectorate, our relationship will remain strong.

Lonestar- Can we postpone our little "disagreement" for later? Right now I cannot keep up w/the posting for Morgan/Cadre/University/Saturn and Spartan dealings. Aaah! Overload!

Silence- Sorry that we haven't spoken in a long time. Will address this later though.

General Tacticus- Hmmm...I do hope that Lysander prevails.

Kass- I think we should start coordinating our "liberation" of Morganic territory pretty soon.

Mr. President- Where are you? Thought you'd be back? Hope yer ok.


As for the Peacekeeper ( ) problem. I don't know who the author is now. I do remember Guardian saying he wanted a piece of 'em, but he didn't post anything about 'em. I think we should find a new author or have everyone collaborate on them.
