Hercules, maybe you would write a note on this, then either me or Forester can forward it to them.
I can also give you Chaos Theory and BinTravkin email for talking to them. I think they both are the most active Gaians at the moment.
Also, they apparent strange stance towards us maybe just activity problem, if you know what I mean.

We got this in Spartan Embassy:
quote:
To: The Data Angels
From: The Spartan Federation
We were surprised and perturbed to see your aircraft blocking the access road between UN Health Authority and UN Temple of Sol, despite our announcement to all factions of our intent to remove the Peacekeeper menace from Planet.
Indeed, some Junta members see this as an overtly hostile act on the part of the Data Angels, but that is not (yet) our official position.
We will expect that aircraft to have returned next year to an Angels' base, and that you will neither be blocking our advance into UN Temple of Sol by replacing it with another unit, nor impeding our entry into that base by stationing Angels' assets in the base itself.
The Junta would consider either action to be severe provocation, destroying many years of trust and co-operation painstakingly built between our factions.
We trust that you appreciate our position
Colonel Googlie, on behalf of the Junta

I would propose the following:
quote:
Dear Spartan High Command Members,
We are very sorry that your operation suffers due to our presence in the area, however, we presently stay for very long time in Pact Agreement with Brother Lal, and he did not complain to Data Angels about our presence in his territory so far.
We are not happy that Spartan Federation and Peacekeeping Forces were not able to achieve mutual consensus and military action was necessary. We hope that both factions will come to terms assuring peace as soon as possible, which would be beneficial for Spartan Federation and Peacekeeping Forces.
Our unit presently flying over the Brother Lal's possesions will have to refuel for sure.
The dirt road our unit is supposedly, according to you, blocking is actually very tricky one and not that good at all. Believe me, you would not enjoy your vehicle maintenance when you take it. As our cartogrphic data service indicates, you might find more appealing some other hiking trails in the countryside of Peacekeepers more appropriate for your tourism purposes. Especially beautiful are those on rolling and rocky terrain.
Sincerely,
IT Mart

If you feel some other message is more appropriate, please write. I back from a party at the moment

On the other hand, I think we might think of some appropriate tone of the message, especially that we are going to drop them our tourists equipped with Nikon cameras and wireless notebooks very very soon.
Something keeping them at ease? What I wrote above is rather in joking tone.
I haven't sent it yet, so I'll work on it a bit...

So here comes an answer to our drop probe team action:

If Spartan ask for Treaty this turn, I would take it. The action was with very high probability of failure, and here we have it. I think we may work on some good probing strategy. I also think that by now Spartans do not have bases without probe defenses, the same as we do not.

And some other thought. Coz we are now in the state of war with Spartans they can infiltrate us by killing defending probe teams. We rather got into problem here. Open conflict is not in our interest. They can claim that we started it by the drop of probe teams. We need some diplomacy now.

I have already received a message from Chaos Theory, re vendetta with Spartans.
I posted this in Spartan Embassy:
quote:
To Spartan Federation,
One of our guardians of a Summer Youth Camp reported that a group of his students mysteriously dissappeared. He is extremely concerned, as he suspects the boys might yet again pull some nasty excess. He thinks they might attempt to meet with some friends from Peacekeeper territory. Would you happen to have any information on their whereabouts?
And on some more serious matter. Our general Trade Advisor reported that our mutual commercial exchange has stopped due to apparent vendetta. Is this true?
Sincerely,
IT Mart |

There is a message from Spartans:
quote:
Dear IT Mart:
Regrettably, it is indeed true that our two factions are in vendetta. Angels probe operatives were sighted in Sparta territory, and the usual treaty-partner response (interrogation, and send back shamefacedly from whence they came) was not available to us as your Prime Function had seen fit to stack probe teams, rendering that choice of response unavailable.
We were in a quandary. Let them be, and have them infiltrate our newly liberated base of Aid Station - or worse, have one or more of our valuable technologies pilfered - or eliminate them, incurring an automatic vendetta declaration in the prcess.
The Junta deliberated long and hard on this difficult choice. The decision point was reached when one of our officers posed the question: "What would the Data Angels do if they awoke one morning and found two Spartan Probe teams in the outskirts of one of their bases?" Clearly, you would not stand for it, and would likewise have taken whatever steps necessary to have them removed. And, if stacked, then their destruction becomes the only choice.
So with a heavy heart the Junta approved their elimination as a threat to our security, and to reinforce the inviolability of our borders. Vendetta resulted.
We have, however, suggested in the diplomatic pouches that we restore treaty status. We have no quarrel with the Data Angels. Indeed, you have left us alone to hone our fighting skills on Arcadia before the inevitable conflict with the irascible Chairman Yang. For that we thank you. But this latest action of your Prime Function left us somewhat bemused.
As a result, the status of our inter-faction relations has been severly degraded. But we trust that this is not irreparable.
Sincerely,
Colonel Googlie |
If they proposed Treaty again, I would take it. Our action was quite unfortunate and let us not lead to conflict, that others would gain from it.
We have to also inform Gaians of our decision. Chaos Theory asked if they should accept Treaty.

Forester, the probes were killed according to Spartans, what they write in the message. We have nothing to withdraw now.
So we go for Treaty. I will send a word to Gaians.

Yes that was Spartan Territory, although ex-PK. I am actually glad it ended that way after they were dicovered - we still have Treaty, and it seems Spartans did not retaliate with probing us (if they did not do it before)
Anyway, we soon should have some good air forces. For now:
2 F-6 fighters
2 B-6 (although no deep radar)
1 Sioux missile copter
1 scout chopper
We still need a lot AAA defenders
This is in case of a real conflict

Some serious questions from Spartans:
quote:
Dear Data Angels:
Now that relations have again been normalized, the Junta is wondering if the Data Angels would be amenable to a trade of technologies.
You have AMA and MMI, which technologies we lack, and we have Advanced Subatomic Theory, Doctrine Initiative, Planetary Economics and Applied Relativity which you lack.
Also, now that Commissioner Lal has been "removed from office", the position of Planetary Governor is vacant. Is there anything we can offer that would secure your support of our candidacy?
Colonel Googlie, on behalf of the Junta
