D: that hurts

 

[Kyzarc Fotjage]

The Outermost would like say that such a large grouping of phyles and the resources therein is highly dangerous, both to the mission as a large proportion of mankind's resources are in a single colony and to the political climate of Planet as a single power bloc that is capable of imposing hegemony over the others. We would ask that our Captain consider limiting the initial size of colonies to prevent such an overwhelming consolidation of power.

-Senior O'Neill of the Outermost

 

[Masada]

So in order to avoid the consolidation of power you ask us to accept that you be allowed a right of veto over the decisions of the rest of us? That cure sounds worse than the supposed problem.

 

[Kyzarc Fotjage]

We ask for no such thing. We simply want to avoid a massive power bloc forcing its will upon the rest of the Planet from the get-go. It is my firm belief that our Captain can ensure this through reasoned discussion.

 

[Seon]

The Captain of the Unity notes that the designer of this vessel intended for 2-3 landing sites to begin with, and that current landing plans submitted so far indicates larger than expected amount of disunity between the phyles.

The plan drawn up by Aparusheya is as far as I know a suggestion of polities they are willing to work with and not an actua landing plan. Nevertheles, the Captain cannot tolerate groups larger than 6, and would like for the grouping Phyles to put forward a singular ideolgy or goal that will unite the people of the colony.

Ultimately, the Crown fully expects the people of the joint colonies to spread and split off from one another in time, but hopes that the initial spirit of peaceful cooperation that this shortage have forced upon them will endure.

 

[Masada]

Atlas Mitsubishi is a reality based phyle. We understand that cooperation is needed when setting up shop. There's the tides, the fog, the lack of lightning and potential aliens. We don't want to die cold and alone and unloved. But hey, let's all listen to the crazy phyle! The guy who can't play nice and seems mighty suspicious! I'm sure he's got some bright ideas.

 

[Crezth]

Tianji states for the public record that it plans to make Starfall with the Autumn Crown, owing to personal bonds of trust established with the leadership thereof. Every other Phyle, we will be happy to work with, once we are no longer trapped in this steel Viking funeral dirge.

The newly reorganized Worker's Syndicate remains under our nominal protection. We recognize our ability to enforce this protection is nil. Hence, we recommend to the Worker's Syndicate that they may make Starfall with the Commulalist Confederacy, but that interested parties from the Syndicate who wish to reclaim ex-Syndicate members, or ex-Syndicate members who wish to return to the Syndicate be exchanged and organized ahead of time to avoid unfortunate fracturing of the peoples.

NPC Voices Vis-à-vis Colonization Equipment

The following proposal, vis-à-vis colonization modules is brought forth by Puczcza Wynd with support from the Rus and Qeng Ho.

Each phyle will be awarded 100 ‘pips’ and each phyle can bid with these pips upon the various colonization modules, satellites, and vehicles outlined in the inventory. Each phyle can only bid on one item at a time. If there are sufficient items of that type to accommodate the bidders, than each phyle who big gets the item. If there is not, the phyla that bid highest get the item in question.

Successive rounds of bidding are then enacted. Phyla without ‘pip’s cannot bid. This is repeated until all items are disseminated.

Phyla are then free to divide their materials, population, etc as they see fit or trade for the use of additional materials (especially ferries and cargo vehicles).

All NPCs are willing to accept this system is the rest of Unity is also.


NPC Voices Vis-à-vis Planetfall and Unity

Pambazuka, Puzcza Wynd, Qeng Ho, Quebec, and Rus have all expressed a desire to maintain some population on Unity after planetfall as insurance against possible toxicities on Planet. They would also like to maintain their habitats as support facilities for the planetary settlements, importing energy and molecular feedstock from the surface as required.


NPC Voices Vis-à-vis Coordinated Communities

Rus will be developing an independent community but welcomes individuals from other enclaves as representatives thereof.

Pambazuka will develop its own community but would also be willing to coordinate with Ummah Al Salaam or Apaurusheya

Puczcza Wynd will develop its own community but is willing to establish its site not too distant from other technologically-oriented phyla’s sites to cooperate in trade and defense. They are particularly interested in cooperating with the ‘United Cooperative’ or 'Apaurusheya' who’s agricultural expertise will complement PW’s high energy expertise well.

Qeng Ho envisions small enclaves amongst many other phyla’s settlements much as they had done on Earth and within the near solar system.

Quebec will be operating independently.

Communalist Confederacy will cooperate with phyla with highly decentralized governments and organization and consider the (Robert Can’s phyle- Magnificat?) a potential partner. The United Workers’ Syndicate may also serve as a good neighbor but are too centralized to cooperate with directly.

Zen-Serotonin will be operating independently.

What Have the NPCs been up to

Rus training in EVA. They have also been very active in the ship nooiome.

Pambazuka has been focused on integrating the data from the telescopes to help plan planetfall. They like others, are interested in developing crops appropriate for the conditions (and are willing to coordinate with others doing the same)

Puczcza Wynd have been relatively quiet but sensors detect some high energy physics and rho field manipulations within their habitat.

Qeng Ho have been visiting throughout the ship extensively, making contacts especially amongst private businesses but also with larger phyla interested in coopetitive trade. They were very upset by the closing of the Ummah Al Salaam grand bazaar.

Quebec have been skiing in their snow-covered habitat. They have modified their habitat’s ecology to that of planet’s and are living in snow and fog-shrouded obfuscation. They are very excited for the planned Planetfall Mela. They have also been very active in the nooiome.


Communalist Confederacy are also working on developing plant species for Planet. They are also interested in exploring low intensity settlement options.


Zen-Serotonin are secretive and what they are doing exactly is unclear. They have however been exploring the use of neuronal computing and have undergone, as a society, accelerating cycles of gene modification. There is no obvious external clues to point to the reasoning thereof.

*Welcome Dr. Andropov, how may I be of assistance*

"His Majesty Tsar Vladimir is no longer of this world. Cause of death, accident. Please terminate his account permissions."

*Confirmed. User: TVIII has had Emperor privileges revoked. Shall I forward files and privileges to Prince Nikolai, User: redwolf?"

"Well, the moment of truth. He could have bothered to leave a will."

"That'd be unlike Vlad though. The rest of the phyla agrees anyhow. This is our moment, and I'm pretty sure Nicolai doesn't even know what's going on anymore. His brain's been fried for years."

"Right, right. Still, she's only sixteen. I have a daughter that age, and I don't know if I'd be more terrified for her or for myself if she became Tsar."

"Rules are rules though."

"Right. Negative, Fancy Bear. Set permissions and forward files to Tsarina Anastasia, User: Greenwing"

To: All Phyles aboard the Unity
From: Sarvesh Mhasalkar, Phyle Affairs Committee

Our Phyle is willing to work with the Commulalist Confederacy and Pambazuka in develop plants and animals suited to Planetary conditions. Qeng Ho is also welcomed to trade with us.

We also support those who wish to stay aboard the Unity and that all Phyles respect the decisions of those who wish to stay.

 

[Crezth]

The Politburo of the phyle of Tianji would like to extend a formal invitation to the peoples of the Zen-Serotonin phyle to come and teach the peoples of Tianji in the ways of Zen-Serotonin meditation and psychology and to enjoy the Habitat 9 arboretum, which we have very carefully crafted to be a beautiful and serene garden, perfect for meditation in. We wish for those who are learned in the ways of Zen-Serotonin to feel welcome amongst us and to learn of our ways that we may learn, in turn, of their ways.

We follow the path of the water: effortless and flowing.

 

[Immaculate]

The leadership of the Zen-Serotonin accept the Tianji invitation to meditate in their beautiful and serene gardens.

Mini-Update:
Unity's quantum computers reveal to the leadership of the various phyla that "Nick", one of the quantum computers to be used in colonization has been activated prematurely and has queried its logs.

 

[Immaculate]

Mini-Update:
"I am Nick. I am pleased that Unity has traveled so far successfully. Are you aware that current fuel supplies are calculated to make colonization extremely dependent on identifying early sources of power?"

 

[Kyzarc Fotjage]

The Outermost are proud to announce that at long last our forced exile from Habitat 24, Breakwater, our home, is at an end, a most auspicious sign for Planetfall itself. The most dedicated of our phyle, who've long labored in secret to cleanse Breakwater of the radioactive material polluting its halls, have pronounced it technically habitable. We have already begun the process of moving back in as we speak and would like to extend our gratitude to those who have sheltered us during our long Diaspora, especially the United Cooperative, the Autumn Crown, and, most especially, the Keepers who have so graciously taught us the ways of the Spine. We shall begin our own preparations for Planetfall immediately. Further we have recovered much of the genetic samples stored in #24 and will make them available to our friends throughout Unity as soon as we've confirm they're undamaged by the years of minimal power and possible leakage in their radiation containment.
