* GeoModder coughs.

I... see.

Since this is a matter in which the formerly neutral faction, namely the Data Angels, is accused of, I must declare this chamber closed till a new neutral faction is found which can broker between the Spartans and the Data Angels.

In response to message by Colonel Maniac

Data Angels are very sad and surprised that Spartan Federation sees recent events in such negative way. We would like to point the following aspects of this issue:

1) We did in fact received 118 EC from Provost Zakharov, NOT 200.

2) Some time ago Spartan Federation informed Data Angels, that the Federation would like to improve economic situation of University of Planet. We saw this opportunity exactly in this way. We believe that the recent economic operation will improve University of Planet economy. Provost Zakharov will receive from Data Angels not 118 EC but together with interests 200 EC payed to him on a regular basis. This constitutes over 69 % more energy credits that was loaned to us, and this interest rate is very high and beneficial for University of Planet. We believe, that Provost Zakharov will spend this additional energy transfered to him in efficient way, what will have positive impact on Spartan Federation economy as well.

3) We presently pay back the loan to the University of Planet on a regular basis and will continue to do so as long as the whole amount including the interest of 69 % will be transferred to Provost Zakharov. Therefore we see no reason to transfer any energy at this moment to Spartan Federation.

4) In case if for any reason University of Planet would not be able to receive the energy credits for the loan from us, we would repay the amount to Spartan Federation, but not before Data Angels would be relieved from obligation to University of Planet.

5) Regarding the claim, that Data Angels broke the law, Provost Zakharov did not mentioned to us any of the limitation to his economic decisions. We believe, that if Spartan Federation wishes to investigate this matter, Provost Zakharov should be questioned by you. We, of course, support Provost Zakharov, since as mentioned in paragraph (2) we consider it a very beneficial agreement for University of Planet and Spartan Federation.

6) We believe, that Spartan Federation sees this as reasonable and will appreciate this economic agreement as very positive.

Sincerely,
Data Angels

In response to the communiqué by IT Mart

1) The flawed logic and mathematics in your communiqué may indicate why the Angel economy is performing so poorly compared to the Spartan one. The annual interest rate of the loan in question is 82/118, divided by 100 = 0.69%. This is ridicously low. By comparison, a common practice such as harvesting a forest with a supply crawler returns an annual profit of 6.7% on the investment. Almost ten times higher. Why, if the Angels believe a 0.69% interest rate is very high, the Federation would be more than happy to lend money from you after this matter has been arranged.

2) We are not asking for any money to be transferred to the Federation. We are asking for the credits to be returned to Minerva Bank - with headquarters in the University Protectorate - from which the money was fraudulously obtained.

Sincerely,
Pedro 'Maniac' Riveira
Colonel of the Spartan Federation

From Data Angels
To Spartan Federation and CPPC Forum:

We confirm, that 69% is the total return and when divided by number of years it comes to 0.69%.

We have initiated the transaction in 2183. If we further apply yearly profit calculation and return in the present year 2187 the remaining balance of 192 EC, the actual yerly return would come to 17.25%. As you state, a good investment returns 6.7%. Thus if we return the loan balance in 2193, the return of the investment for University of Planet would come to 6.9% per year.

Also, we feel, that a mediation of a third and neutral side would be welcomed. The best economic experts on the Planet can be found in Morgan Industries Corporation, and Data Angels would like to propose, that a chosen person with sufficient qualifications from that faction would help us to come to mutually agreeable terms.

Sincerely,
Data Angels,
IT Mart

Has the Spartan delegation decided to stop debating about the loan issue for now?
Or even better, decided it has no business with Data Angels-University diplomacy?

Would the respectable Lord of the Gaian Council be so kind to elaborate a bit? It's hardly convenient trying to discuss planetary matters if the information given isn't sufficient.
