INES III: Storm Tapestry

[TheLizardKing]

I'll get orders in tonight, if I get a response to some diplo, or tomorrow night, if I don't get that response tonight.

 

[Lord of Elves]

The Imperial Proletarian Navy Is Unvanquished!

The enemy may be among us even now, but our great seaborne weapon is not yet defeated. So long as the navy and the airforce stand, Japan shall stand with them. So join, Proletarians, and you shall find glory in the eternal battle between the good of communism and the corrupting, putrid and destructive forces of capitalism. There are still many ships, and all that is needed is your willingness to fight! Compliance with the war effort is confirmed to result in distribution of Happiness-Flavored rations upon the ousting of the paper tiger Chinese capitalist scum from the Emperor's lands. If you die in battle, you shall be rewarded eternally for your service to the proletariat. Glory, Proletarians, is within your reach! Failing to reach for glory can result in Pre-Teen Girl Hormones, Failure-Infested Rations of Death, and severe cases of polio being distributed to you by the Chinese invader! Reach for glory, Proletarians! Join the navy or the airforce and help your nation and the proletariat!

The Emperor demands your loyalty, Proletarians. Remember, the planes and the ships are there, if you will fight! If you don't see any boats or planes in this poster, or it isn't in Japanese, you're hallucinating and you should Get Back to Lobbing Grenades, Proletarian!

The Dúuru Khalif sat silently, staring at the new jet in front of him. He shivered, not yet use to the cold air of Moscow. Around him sat his fellow Dúuru, all being presented this new weapon of USACS ingenuity at once. No one spoke. Their wasn't anything to say afterall. And it wasn't until the Náani People's Lt. Rohna walked before them that any of their eyes left the contraption. They all stared expectingly at the Náani Lt. who stared at them in stoic silence, as if testing their ability to stare back. After several minutes he looked at his watch, and began speaking.

"The People's Fighter 9-13 'Sickle'. Created in Bamako by several highly resourceful members of the Kɔnɔntɔn. Bow your head and give them thanks post current informational lesson. It is faster then what our enemies have. It is stronger then what our enemies have. It is more resourceful then what our enemies have. And it will beat anything our enemies have. You are the best pilots in the People's Sky Army. You Dúuru specifically have called quite a bit of attention to our expeditionary force here. The Balts love you, and even more strange the Rushinz love you also. I will pause for effect now.

This is why I have been sent from my Náani General, sent by his Náani Major General, sent by his Náani High Marshall, sent by his Sàba, sent by his Fila, sent by our Kélen Toumani, Grand Hero of the Revolution. The Unified Military African Defense has begun giving you the codename of 'The Red Bandits', after your apparent antics in the sky. You have been termed this first by the Baltic Confederacy's daily issuance of news in the form of paper. Then by the Rushinz daily issuance of news in the form of paper. You have apparently inspired some sort of emotional feeling in all of your allies and the people of the USACS. A feeling best described as a reassurance that in the end all things will probably work out as planned. With a slight twinge of satisfaction in that idea. However absurd that may sound to us, this seems to be a good development. As such you are not to be directly referred to as 'the Red Bandits'. The airplanes you command are to be painted with a red stripe down the middle of it, against protocol. This rule breaking has been ordered from forces of a higher status then me, and their unions.

This of course makes you stand out from our normal pilots, assumingly giving you a sense of self-importance. Am I wrong in this thinking?"

All the Dúuru nodded at once, and said yes Comrade Náani in unison. He continued.

"You are all currently in the process of breaking several rules and regulations established by UMAD for a purpose. You are to be deducted rations for your sense of self-importance. We are all equal, save for your higher ranks and other classes. Therefore you do not deserve that right. Secondly, your planes do not meet the standards approved by UMAD's Air Army Division. Therefore, your post combat freetime is to be limited by an hour until this is rectified. If you rectify it however, you will also be breaking a rule. The directness of the latter rule however, would mean your punishment will be of a greater degree. I recommend you decide to break the first rule then. I permit you several seconds of discontent starting now."

Almost immediatley, all the Dúuru began smiling, rather then frowning. The Dúuru Khalif had heard the stories of the 'Red Bandits' before, from other Baltic pilots, and a few Rushin women that made in onto base. Hell, they should have given us a plane like this earlier.

"The discontentment time is over." the Náani People's Lt. Rohna said sternly. "Now that I have spread this information to you, you may go back to your daily business. Your freetime is suppose to be starting in 3 minutes. Enjoy it. It is common knowledge the Rushin women are more then accomendating to your wants. Remember as always, sex is an evil thing, and should only be commited with procreation as the ultimate goal. Since the government has issued a referendum highlighting this region's low quality gene pool, you are encouraged to spread your superior blood to these Mongol women. Good day."

With those last words, the Náani People's Lt. Rohna clacked his heels, waved his arm in the Party's Salute, and marched away. It was not until he was compeltely beyond site that the Dúuru began to smile, and exhibit any sort of expression. Yet the silence remained. The familiar click of the bases's intercom however broke the silence.

The time is now 900 minutes past the start of the day. This is to be considered the time of freedom of action for the Squadrons of 32N-MR, 33N-MR, The Red Colored Bandits, 35N-MR and 36N-MR. You are commanded to partake in these activities. Failure to do so will lead to a rations cut.

An immediate murmer broke out amongst the Dúuru.

"Hey, what do you think of these things Dúuru Khalif?" said Dúuru Straffe "It is of my personal opinion that these will make us far better then anything the Rushins can throw at us."

"As if the Rushins even know how to leave the ground!" Shouted another Dúuru "They seem to continue to think that a bi-winged aircraft is the ideal aircraft!"
Laughs broke out among the men.

"Well," began Dúuru Khalif "I feel that these will not only make killing the Rushins all the more easier, but it very well may lead us to be remembered in the historical records. We are, after all- the best the air army has!"

More cheers broke out amongst the crowd, with each man breaking off into seperate conversations. Several minutes passed before the intercom clicked once again.

The time is now 916 minutes past the start of the day. We are interupting your time of freedom of action for a news update from the glorious USACS. A new refendum has been passed by the United Revolutionary Assembly of National Governance. It has been given the name of 'Transforming Rushins into Obedient Liberated Life by the Introduction of New Genes'. Each USACS soldier stationed in Mosque-aw is required to liberate at least 5 Rushin women through reproduction. This should increase the size of the sensible Rushin population for the next generation hopefully. The Transforming Rushins into Obedient Liberated Life by the Introduction of New Genes Referendum is to be put into full effect starting immediatley. Squadrons 32N-MR, 33N-MR, The Red Colored Bandits, 35N-MR and 36N-MR are expected to immediatley begin Transforming Rushins into Obedient Liberated Life by the Introduction of New Genes. Rushin women are being immediatley sent into your respected squad areas. Good hunting.

In other news, the Chinese terrorist attacks of last year have not been forgotten. The United Revolutionary Assembly of National Governance has voted unanimously for war with the rogue nation/city. We are now at war with the nation/city of China.

The Dúuru Khalif smiled, though he wasn't sure if it was for the announcement that he had to go about 'Transforming Rushins into Obedient Liberated Life by Introducing New Genes', or that he'd be able to kill some of the funny looking creatures in China. Regardless, he decided, today was a good day.

Gencer Celik sat by the beachside of the Roman camp, watching the tide flow in and out. To his left, a dragon lumbered over the rocks past a sea lion, the lion issuing a threatening growl, which the dragon ignored. The Galapagos Islands were quite relaxing...especially when they were seized quietly and with no casualties. Why the military took the Galapagos Islands, Gencer did not know. They certainly hadn't filled the marines into their strategic value. But while Gencer was there and not on a boat to establish a beachhead on the mainland, he didn't care about any strategic value of any place at any time.

He looked at his digital watch: it was 5:00. Gencer figured he'd visit Peurto Ayora before he had to be back to camp. While the Incan local food didn't compare to the Turkish meals he ate back in Constantinople, he figured that it beat whatever the mess tent was serving.

The walk to the town was not far; the military camp was only two miles out from the capitol of the Galapagos Islands. Once entering the town, all could tell what the state of the occupation of the islands was: the Roman military police were there on street corners, ready for whatever some Incan radical or implant was ready to dish out. People ignored them, going about their visits.

Gencer found a little cafe, and had papa rellenas, ground beef coated in mashed potatoes. After eating, he left and began to head back, when he noticed a roudy crowd in the street. Their torches slightly brightened the darkening streets. Gencer didn't want to attract attention, but he was curious what the comotion was about, so he placed his hands in his pockets and walked over very casualy to the gathering.

In the center of the group, which consisted of about fifteen people, a man in traditional Peruvian garb was performing various incantations, sounds that were quite odd to Gencer's ears. An assistant held a human skull and a Roman flag. Suddenly he let out a yell, and began to speak loudly in Spanish. Gencer had difficulty discerning his words, but he was familiar enough with Italian to get the general gist of the man's words; he said the Roman invasion would fail, that their people would be liberated, and that Rome would burn and Nico Romano would die trapped in his burning palace.

Gencer knew that it was time for him to leave, and that he must inform the MPs, but suddenly the man--clearly a shaman--pointed an old arthritic finger at him. Speaking sharply, he spoke of a winged death coming promptly in the night, clearly speaking of Gencer's future. With that, the Roman flag was lit on fire, and the crowd began to shout menacingly, shaking fists at Gencer. He glared, but turned and walked away briskly, intending to tell the MPs. He broke into a run when they began hurling rocks.

Upon turning the corner, he saw about four MPs running in his direction. "What's going on?" one of them asked in Italian.

"There's a riot going on, being lead by some local Shaman. They've already burned a Roman flag."

They turned the corner, and shot into the air with assault rifles. Yells of "Fall down! To the ground!" in Italian resonated from the streets. There were more screams and shots. Gencer began to turn around to see what was going on.

Suddenly he felt a sharp pain on his arm. He looked to see a wasp there, then take off to fly away. Before Gencer could think about what was going on, his airway tightened, he fell to the ground, his heart began thumping in his head. His breathing flew out of control. He tried to call out, but no one could hear him over the chaos on the other street. Gencer lost consciousness, and never regained it.

 

[TheLizardKing]

We don't apologize for the interruption. It is far more important then what you are currently in the process of doing. You are alloted percisely 2 minutes and 13 seconds to pay attention to this Communal Services Announcement.

Greetings Wɔɔrɔ, Wólonwula and Séegin. We must inform you that our glorious Union finds itself at war with the nation/city of China. They have unfairly, and unjustly assaulted us last year, in their state sponsored terror attacks against the nursing homes of Bamako, and for insighting a rebellion in the Congo. A vast majority of our army is currently training with our Rushin allies in North America, and will be sent to fight the Chinanders. Resounding victories are expected to occur, however, only with your support.

That being said we require the help of the populace. Greater detail in regards to production quotas and the like will come out through a variety of other means. The purpose of this CSA is to let you know that there are spies among us. The Chinander shapeshifters come in many sizes and shapes, and want nothing more then to feed on your children, and destroy our perfect society. The nation/city of China is a relatively closed and miserable society, unlike our Worker's Utopia. They sit and toil in their own cess, protected by their 'Great Wall', and are rightfully jealous of our glorious Union. And so they act against it. Should you see anyone acting strange, looking like a Chinander, or saying anything favorable in regards to building massive walls to keep out Mongol hordes, please alert the local authorities, so the situation may be handled accordingly.

You may be asking yourself, what does the normal Chinander look like? Well Comrades, a picture is worth a thousand words.

This is your enemy. Know him well.

Do not mistake him with our brave Japanese allies.

If you do, you shall be punished. Remember, be alert, be happy, and be working.

In the name of Kélen Toumani Grand Hero of the Revolution (And May He Live Eternal), this has been a Communal Service Announcement.

Note: If you find yourself taking longer then 2 minutes and 13 seconds to mentally accept this information, the Union's education system has obviously failed you in some way shape or form. You are not in trouble. For the good of the state, please visit your local Union authorities, and inform them of your shortcoming. You will be punished accordingly.

From: The Glorious Inca Republic

You claim we have no claim to the Guineas? What madness is this? Ou r movement, which originated in Ecuador, is dedicated to restoring the lands of once held by our indigenous ancestors to their rightful owners. The West dubbed us the Inca Republic because of our origins and we accepted the name given to us. It does not mean we are a revival of Inca culture. Do we perform blood sacrifices? Do we fight with tepoztopilli and maquahuitl? We are a nationalist movement determined to drive the Europeans back to Europe and break your imperial hold over us so that we may develop as North America have into nation-states. We drove out the corruption of Columbia who were, in truth, little more than Western puppets and we will drive the the imperials from the Guianas.

We will restore South America to the South Americans no matter the price!

OOC: After I checked my stats and realised 3 ASP would clear me out for this turn I lowered my offer to 1 ASP. Just to let you know.

From France
To Inca Republic

It appears the Incan administration has had a change of rhethoric. If this war was not about conquest, why did you not try to create a Guinea independent state, to ensure that the world saw your intentions were genuine? Why did you not do so in Columbia?

A great nation, however, is too strong to care for minor injustices- only major ones. The Neo-European Union has been fighting with our hands behind our backs- or did you not notice that whilst we fought the war most of our resources were being used to further our own prosperity?

Though it is an insult to our nation, we offer you one final deal- we will sell our claims to the Guineas for 2 ASP. Reject this, and you will be destroyed.

 

[Abaddon]

I'll probably dive back in after the next update

 

[Agent 89]

Preposterous. You are proposing the annexation of lands that have been under our control for centuries, as spoils of a war of unprovoked aggression. We would be willing to handover Mesopotamia, as well as Qatar. Like we have said earlier, we will allow Muslims to enter Mecca unrestricted. Is that not what you were aiming to do, allow your brothers in faith to go to Mecca in peace?

No, our aim has been to reverse the shame your nation has brought to Muslims across the world. Our holiest cities have for centuries in Christian hands, and to our eternal disgrace, you have allowed non-Muslims to enter Mecca and Medina. What makes you think we would be willing to return control of these cities to you? What makes you think you are in any position to refuse our just demands?

As I have said, this is the best you may hope for. Accept this, and peace will reign. Refuse to, and I will personally see to it that the Order is no more come next year.

To The Atlantic Kingdom
From Canada

We will call a cease fire until we make a formal treaty.

The Atlantic Kingdom will provide you with the expected formal treaty shortly. Briefly you will be required to make extensive territorial concessions, provide us with 2 ASP in reparations, and allow for democratic elections in the near future.

In the meantime, the members of the Treaty of the Americas will consider it an act of aggression and continued war if you either fire weapons, launch aircraft, have your ships leave port, or build new army, air, or naval units.

Should you take any of these actions, we will consider it an act of war and respond appropriately. You have been warned.

 

[Ninja Dude]

No, our aim has been to reverse the shame your nation has brought to Muslims across the world. Our holiest cities have for centuries in Christian hands, and to our eternal disgrace, you have allowed non-Muslims to enter Mecca and Medina.

As I have said, this is the best you may hope for. Accept this, and peace will reign. Refuse to, and I will personally see to it that the Order is no more come next year.

Mesopotamia still sits unmolested, a fortress within a sea of hostility. And we still hold strong in Mecca. And there are powers that look upon this jihadist aggression with much disdain. Would you really like to further aggravate them with the continuation of this war?

To Inca Republic

It appears the Incan administration has had a change of rhethoric. If this war was not about conquest, why did you not try to create a Guinea independent state, to ensure that the world saw your intentions were genuine? Why did you not do so in Columbia?

There has been no change in rhetoric. The objective of the PNS movement has always been to create a South America free of colonial interests. North America is free, Africa is free, Asia is free; now it is South America's turn. Independence will be granted when the Europeans are back in Europe and if it is chosen by the people in a referendum. The sooner you leave the sooner South America can return to normal.

A great nation, however, is too strong to care for minor injustices- only major ones. The Neo-European Union has been fighting with our hands behind our backs- or did you not notice that whilst we fought the war most of our resources were being used to further our own prosperity?

I am somewhat confused by your statement about injustices. First of all a great state should care about all injustices for it is only through hard work and sweat that the injustices of the world can be put right. If great nations ignore injustices they regard as beneath themselves, what is the fate of more minor nations? Secondly there has been a great injustice in South America for over 300 years, namely your illegitimate and illegal military occupation of lands that should rightly belong to South Americans. We are putting right that injustice. What ever possessed you Europeans to think that you could causally divide up the world between you and not eventually get bitten for your hubris?

As for your military strength, you do realise that your combined armies only just outnumber my own by 2 divisions? I have the advantage of fighting on the defensive on home soil. You have to successfully project that power across the Atlantic and attack fortified positions. Your combined air forces are also larger but again you have the issue of successfully projecting such power across the Atlantic and I could easily match your air forces through further expansion of my own. Your only true military advantage is in your navy after you resoundingly defeated my own in battles about the Windward Islands. You also have the advantage of a far stronger economic position but you cannot afford to project your full strength in a war over an old colonial outpost for long as it would tire your people and leave you vulnerable back in Europe. A prolonged war would, unless you managed to make allies in South America, bleed you dry slowly but surely and would be a significant drain on your strength. The Inca Republic is not a weak nation, despite our chronic underestimation in the eyes of the imperialist Europeans, and are people have the will to see this war through to its conclusion; whatever it might be.

Though it is an insult to our nation, we offer you one final deal- we will sell our claims to the Guineas for 2 ASP. Reject this, and you will be destroyed.

Hmm... this offer is tempting. We would need assurances that the Galápagos Islands would be returned to us safely and that European nations would no longer try to dominate South America. We are happy enough to deal with you on even terms but exploitation must end. If you can promise us both these things, we would be very tempted to accept your offer.

 

[Agent 89]

Mesopotamia still sits unmolested, a fortress within a sea of hostility. And we still hold strong in Mecca. And there are powers that look upon this jihadist aggression with much disdain. Would you really like to further aggravate them with the continuation of this war?

We have given you our terms. Accept them, or you know what the consequences will be.

You seem to think we would need to fight you on the ground. We would not, we would be content to simply bombard your coasts and innards till nothing would grow out of it for a very long time. We would block all trade by force of sky and sea arms and eventually your people would starve to death. It would take longer but we have time, oh yes, we have time. And we have already secured allies and power projection facilities. Striking those yourself would just include others into a conflict that simple mathematics would prove you cannot win. As well we have other weapons we are quite eager to test on you, that would bring prompt and utter destruction upon your economy and anything that possesses an electric circuit. You have been forewarned.

Hmm... this offer is tempting. We would need assurances that the Galápagos Islands would be returned to us safely and that European nations would no longer try to dominate South America. We are happy enough to deal with you on even terms but exploitation must end. If you can promise us both these things, we would be very tempted to accept your offer.

Our joint forces will retreat from the Islands if a peace treaty is reached. The United Kingdom has no interest in bringing ruin to other nations and it would much prefer to write research papers instead of war plans.

SKUID ASSIST Pilot’s Debriefing

March 16th, 2052, 0900h:

Begin audio play-back of subject A1’s debriefing.

The first thing I noticed when I climbed into the Raptor’s cockpit was the almost complete lack of cockpit interface controls. There were basic controls obviously meant to serve if required for emergency landing but all other controls were missing. Instead a thick cable ran to a series of electrodes and interface nodes set into a contraption I recognized as the Sensory Kinetic User Interface Device (SKUID), a specialized device that relies on Artificial Sensory Induction System technology (ASIST) developed by ESP System, Inc of Havana to interface directly between an individual’s brain and computers. I climbed into the cockpit and placed the ‘SKUID ASIST’, over my shaven scalp.

At first nothing happened, but suddenly the come-and-go headaches I had suffered since beginning the CRAF’s NGF regiment disappeared, the slight tremors that had begun to shake my hands and facial muscles and which I thought might be the end of my flight career suddenly calmed. But that was it. I waited. Nothing further.

I closed my eyes and breathed deeply and slowly, bit by bit, I could see again, and yet my eyes remained closed. My vision however, was all around, I could see from the front of the CRAF Raptor, from the flanks, the rear, above and below. Surprisingly, it didn’t feel that strange. The doctors had explained that they were training my brain to make use of the additional neuronal stimulus, a large part of the ‘brain-molding’ time was spent making sure my brain had grown and gotten used to the additional sensory and kinetic interface that would be demanded of it. And so, this was doable, neither pleasant nor unpleasant, neither difficult nor easy, but somewhat natural in a strange way. I flexed my tail fins, the slats and they moved, by thought alone. It wasn’t like they had become my arms or fingers and yet they were as my fingers or arms, as part of me as they were, their use as natural. I flexed my pitch thrust turbofans, releasing the brakes. I knew I wasn’t supposed to take off without waiting for the signal and I know that’s part of this debriefing but it felt so good. Finally all that feeling of strangeness, of not quite being connected fully made sense. Now I felt fully connected, fully myself. And so I signaled ‘confirmation of go’ signal, which you and I both know there never was. I set my engines, my great central muscles to full and in seconds I was in the air.

Flying. Not flying like being a pilot, but flying, truly flying, feeling the chill high-altitude air rip over my wings, providing lift- this is what birds must feel… if birds could fly at Mach 3.2.

…the debriefing continues, but as you can see the interface is safe and highly functional. We are ready to begin large-scale production of both vehicles and pilots.

David Thomas-Shackleford, a former Air Force officer and mayor of a North Montana town, addressed his fellow citizens in the wake of the Canadian invasion. His town, Forsyth, in Rosebud County, was now on the front lines, and the military had turned old downtown into a supply hub. He had been in contact with Colonel Rey, an old army bastard, lately and he wanted to share some good news.

"Hey folks, just got done talking to the Colonel, and he's told me that things are gonna be changing real soon!"

His people were quite secluded, and he knew they liked it that way. He appreciated the military presence, the nostalgia, all of the structured activity... but they did not. He had to feign enthusiasm at the military's apparent departure. The colonel seemed confident it would all be over soon.
"Yeah, the Colonel says we're gonna see some fireworks, and then all the refugees outta Jordan can get back home. So let's try to cooperate with the authorities... some more, and we'll get to see that crazy Canuck dictator hang, and we can get back to some peace and quiet."

The fifty people that had gathered would get the word out, no doubt. They were mulling around in the grass under the recently-erected 'Town Hall' tent before dispersing back to their trucks. The Mayor started toward his truck, and was interrupted by a hand on his shoulder. The Colonel.

"Hell, Mayor, looks like you told 'em what they wanted to hear, hooah."

"Yep, they're tired of all the traffic and whatnot. It's time you all ended this mess with the canucks."

"We're doing our work, Mayor, you'll see. I got word from higher up today, from General Mills.
You watch the skies this evening, hooah."

The Colonel let the Mayor go and headed to the 'forward operating base.' in old downtown.

Later that evening, near twilight, he witnessed the first of the new arrivals, the Raptors are here.

Independence will be granted when the Europeans are back in Europe and if it is chosen by the people in a referendum. The sooner you leave the sooner South America can return to normal.

Did you not talk about the 'Inca's rightful lands'? Stop pretending your administration has consistency.

I am somewhat confused by your statement about injustices. First of all a great state should care about all injustices for it is only through hard work and sweat that the injustices of the world can be put right. If great nations ignore injustices they regard as beneath themselves, what is the fate of more minor nations?

I was speaking in the contexts of petty tyrants such as yourself- you attack our lands and seek glory for yourself. Minor nations, such as Columbia, should indeed be protected when possible.

Secondly there has been a great injustice in South America for over 300 years, namely your illegitimate and illegal military occupation of lands that should rightly belong to South Americans. We are putting right that injustice. What ever possessed you Europeans to think that you could causally divide up the world between you and not eventually get bitten for your hubris?

First question- In what way is it illegal? The native tribes ceded their sovereignity to us and accepted us as rulers. If it is illegal, then so is your occupation of the Guineas.

Second- In what way is it 'illegitimate' and so morally wrong? Again I ask, as I have asked before- how can you establish your premise?

Third- You should stop being delusional. Your own people are the descendants of Europeans for the most part- not pure Native stock. The tribesman of 1500 would, if asked about the present situation, have only cared about the fate of his own tribe- and would not have accepted half-bloods in their place.

As for your military strength, you do realise that your combined armies only just outnumber my own by 2 divisions? I have the advantage of fighting on the defensive on home soil. You have to successfully project that power across the Atlantic and attack fortified positions. Your combined air forces are also larger but again you have the issue of successfully projecting such power across the Atlantic and I could easily match your air forces through further expansion of my own.

The Inca Republic is not a weak nation, despite our chronic underestimation in the eyes of the imperialist Europeans, and are people have the will to see this war through to its conclusion; whatever it might be.

You do not understand the French nation- we are fully behind the war effort for as long as it may take. We have bases in the region, and a populace in the Guineas more sympathetic to us than you. We will not reveal strategic information to the enemy, but we also have plans that make us justifiably confident of victory.

Hmm... this offer is tempting. We would need assurances that the Galápagos Islands would be returned to us safely and that European nations would no longer try to dominate South America. We are happy enough to deal with you on even terms but exploitation must end. If you can promise us both these things, we would be very tempted to accept your offer.

We can assure you about the Galapagos islands, and that the NEU will withdraw from attempting to 'dominate' South America- we cannot, however, speak for all of Europe.
