We might want to see this.
Lawyers flock to the University!
Recent reports of atrocities releaved by reporters embedded in the Spartan military have had ramifications across planet. One such ramification is the potential for class action lawsuits on the behalf on many the suffering experimentees against the unethical experiments that the University Elite are fond of doing "In the name of science". Consequently, swarms of lawyers have been spotted in levels only before seen in the United States during the early 21st century.
The University defense attourny, Jimmy Cochrane was quoted as saying "This an outrage! This is anti-scientist discrimination! The NAASP will be outraged! Those "victims" are from mind worms and toxic fungus! University researchers adhere to the highest ethical standards on planet! If the charge does not fit, you must acquit!
A special prosecutor, Keith Starr, has said "In addition to atrocious experiments, there is evidence on improper land dealings in the Morgan Housing development "Redwater Estates" and some of the victims are claiming forced sexual relations with devices that include cigars.
Litigation and class action lawsuits take a long time so stay tuned for further updates.

Salutations good people of Planet:
Many eons ago I was assigned to study the social evolution of Alpha Centauri and the solar system surrounding it. The progress of what you call "Planet" has been truly fascinating. The knowledge gained from studying its inhabitants' triumphs and failures has been very helpful in dealing with our own. Obviously a study that is conducted light years away or how you humans put it, "through the looking glass", is never the most effective. This is why I am contacting you now. I have been commissioned by my people's highest authority to conduct a primary study on your people. By immersing myself into your culture, I hope to fully realize what it is to be human.
Since my actual name is impossible to translate into your language, I have adopted the surname Chairman_Chang. It is not to be confused with the well known Chairman Yang. I have modeled my alias around his greatness because my people are going through a social restructuralization and his society is something to be admired. However, after many requests, the Chairman was not willing to grant an audience. His only reply was that he cannot trust a being whose mind he does not understand. Its a shame. My people's technological advances would have really catapulted his empire generations into the future.

If you are looking to understand our societies you must first understand what drives them, MONEY. ECs to be exact and no one knows more about them, and by association, our societies then the Morgans. Another advantage of our economic strategy is that we can surly get you anything you need, or want.
With all of the above reasons you can easily see that the morgans would be the best choice for someone of your stature.
If you decide to join I would advise contacting AndiD |

I suspect that it could be Enigma.
It has the same sort of tone of arrogant superioty that Enigma had. Although it does have a sort of different feel to it. Similair but a little different.
I would like us to take a vote before we agree to let him into the Corporation. I do not want to prejudge him and am willing to discuss the merits of letting him join but, my vote without further information is we do not let him join the Corporation. I feel strongly about this.
I was in the Hive the same time he was until his departure. I speak from experience.
His persona was technically competent in game play, but as time went by he became increasing abusive to all those around him and was very difficult to work with.

The road to war? A historical report by Micha
Responding to the recent anti-Morganic propaganda published in the far-right political paper „The Phalanx“ the staff of MorganLink has decided to put things straight. This report is featuring interviews with participants in the incidents that occured not long ago and are now marked as the turning point in Morgan-Spartan relations.
We all remember the underhanded secret operation of late 2149, when Spartan agents killed a Morganic research team at Vander Eudaimonics. We have neither received a warning nor a request to get access to our data networks, so this operation clearly was a violation of our peace treaty.
Needless to say it caught us somewhat unprepared, especially since we were at that time negotiating a pact with them.
Mr. Moneypenny, ex-observer onboard the Spartan vessel SCC Hunter, just barely escaped the attack:
„It was horrifying! The sirenes wailed in the early morning. We didn´t know what it was all about, when suddenly blaster shots were to be heard from the floor. The sirene sounds mixed with that of screaming people and shots, none of us dared to come out of our hiding places. After all we were researchers and businessmen, not military personnel.
Then the lights faded out, as the intruders overwhelmed the energy net of Vander Eudaimonics. The whole city was pitch black within seconds!
You cannot imagine the horrors we went through that morning!
Suddenly all was over, as quickly as it began. We began searching the rooms for injured, but we only found dead! These Spartans were professionals! They clearly had an official military training and hightech armament. This was not an „unfortunate incident“, it was an act of war!“
In 2152, just three years after the unforgettable Vander Eudaimonics massacre, they announced the „Modo doctrine“, which said the following:
“Sparta declares the inviolability of the Federation, its territory and its coastal waters, extending 8 tiles from its bases. Any vessel or unit, whether armed or unarmed, encroaching within this Federation Zone will be destroyed without warning.”
Of course, without the proper geographical data supplied, this announcement is as ridiculous as it is worrying. Within the next two years the Morgan board tried to negotiate safe passage for our Explorers, of course failing because of the aggressive unyielding attitude of the Spartan leadership.
In 2154 the situation escalated: The well-known Spartan battleship „SCC Hunter“ was found approaching our explorers just off our coast, yet Sparta claimed these waters. Because of the Modo-doctrine it was obvious that they won´t ask before opening fire, so the Morganic crew had to make decisions. Mr. Craft, chief explorer on board the „Gator 4 - Wild Beauty“:
„Well, we were very excited about the strange island chain formation we just recently uncovered, when the Spartan battleship was detected. It was far too late for a turnaround, so we were struck by fear that those savages would enforce their silly doctrine!
Of course we didn´t have any weaponry onboard, I mean it´s an exploration vessel! So what could we do?
Fortunately we had several millionaires travelling with us in search for an adventure. You know there are so many of them in the Central estates region, but here in the Southern Wilderness, we were pretty lucky to have them with us. They offered to loan a great sum to the Corporation, enough to try for a bribery. The commlink was opened and we presented our case. The Spartan officer, as expected, turned the offer down and requested to take over our ship; But as he went on board, he could be talked into negotiations.
He turned out to be against the new fundamentalistic approach of the Spartan leadership, and thus finally willing to accept a fairly large lump sum and a mansion in the beautiful highlands of Paramiria.
Most of his crew settled for similar deals, two of them insisted in getting their own talkshow at MorganLink... So finally the SCC Hunter accompanied us home and was turned over to Morgan control.“
While the board prepared the return of the vessel to the Spartans, the people sighed in relief because no revengeful action took place. Many felt we were now even with the Spartans, although a bribery can hardly even out a massacre. But we are peaceful by heart so we had just accepted the injustice done to us and were willing to return to normal relations.
That was in spring 2159. When we heard the news it was hard to keep our composure.
The headline read „Spartan military offensive opens hostilities in neutral waters!“. Two Morganic vessels, one of them a luxury cruiser of the „Southern Spirit Line“, the other being the SCC Hunter (on its way to be returned to Spartan control), were sunk by enemy battlecruisers without warning. The corporation was shocked! Along with those headlines came the official Spartan statement regarding the destruction of the luxury cruiser, which was on it´s way along the University´s coast (because of the beautiful beaches there). It read:
„Note that the application of the Modo Doctrine extends to our governed territories, the University of Planet, as well [...]“.
So they informed us about this little amendment of their self-declared doctrine after the sinking of a civil ship on a pleasure cruise! With this latest incident there´s little hope for all of it just being „misunderstandings“, as some Morgan hardcore-pacifists claim. We wish for peace and prosperity, but this threat on the seas clearly strives for other ideals. The staff of the MorganLink magazine is convinced that the Spartan Federation has long planned the hostile takeover of the Corporation, and that now the time has come.
However we stand prepared, we will defend our possessions and we offer peace to the Spartans as a last chance to demonstrate their goodwill.

Let's not tell anyone we've been infiltrated.
Sparta may not have told them. If we find out that Sparta has told another faction, then that indicates to whom Sparta is sharing info (or boasting to) with.

The goldfish incident gave me a rather twisted newscast...
The Centauri Inquirer: Because inquiring minds want to know!
Rumors have been abuzz about a secret Morganic mind control lab. At an unknown time ago some researchers encountered a man with a rather mysterous psychic whom calls himself 'Yuri'. He claims to be from a parallel universe in which Hitler was killed and arrived via a slightly damaged time machine that escaped a T-Rex. A few people have seen the 'time machine', but Yuri has kept most of his equipment to himself.
Morganic scientists have been amazed at Yuri's level, and more importantly, low cost required to mind control not only people, but animals as well.
It is currently rumored that Yuri, while on a mission behind enemy territory mind controlled a nearby officer, and had him do some 'fishing'. Yuri left, freeing the officer. Once free, the officer realized what he had done, seemed very scared and acted quickly and quietly to leave the area. There is a rumored recording of this, and it is speculated that the officier might now be colaborating profitably with the Morgan Legal forces.
