No Apologies necessary, we are mostly human, a group of Neter live among us in peace, but we thoroughly approve of your stated objectives. We have a small group of defensive forces and enough food to subsist off.

With regard to the Neter and the Dolphins, these are not intended to be overriding groups with a direct impact on day to day events. The two groups instead represent 2 competing philosophies in post-invasion Earth. As with any NPC they can just as easily be ignored, because they will not affect your day to day decisions. They control Wonders, but even the Wonders aren't all that powerful, they all are basically two buildings rolled into one. The Pyramids might be cool if you don't have a power plant, but even if you don't there are multiple other ways to solve that problem. Even if you ignore them half the Wonders have no relationship to them.
Neter are obsessed with the idea of the Rafiki returning (Let me take this moment to make perfectly clear that they are not) and are too freaked out to invade or hassle anyone, Dolphins live in the water, for the moment. For real, these NPC's permit me to influence the sort of themes I'd like to explore, but they will not affect the plot or course of the game.

Good to hear you are surviving. We have no problem with aliens among you, so long as they don't look to rule. We are taking Africa back - hold tight, we will be there soon.

They have the vote, we haven't reinstituted apartheid for them or anything, but for the most part they just talk about God and are not trying to run anything. Another subject has gotten to them recently, though, apparently their sensors show a group of Puumon troops in control of Johannesburg, it is possible that they are being supported by other alien groups attempting to reconstitute the horde. This is a major concern to these Neter, and frankly, to myself and my cabinet. We are willing to send a soldier in order to assist you in retaking Johannesburg if you can help us deal with this concern.

Tomorrows update is going to have to remain hypothetical, I don't have near enough orders to post it.
I've already started work on the update (preface, Epsilon Squadron, DeBeers and Yankee Suns are written at least in a preliminary form), but it will be posted next week.

The Assembly line begins to hum again.
Some of the most important components are gone; nowadays this is hardly the doomsday device it was originally conceived as. The weapons grade Plutonium, for instance, is all long gone, but the stockpile is still being built, these rockets are still dangerous enough.
No one watches as the assembly line begins its automated work, no one was ever intended to. The constructions here were always intended to happen after all contact had been lost for over a year, the last scheduled check-in was in December and it hadn’t happened. By now, a year after the last completed check in this particular doomsday device has no option but to begin operation, even if some of the parts aren’t there.
But it will need many missiles, many missiles, especially if it doesn’t have any Plutonium.
The simple programming, rudimentary ANALITIK, coded in by, at the time, cutting edge Soviet technicians has a mission, and it will fulfill that mission.
Until something better comes along.

GSM-8BR is a now functioning, Cold War era, Rocket base intended as a Doomsday device found in Siberia. The Plutonium has been removed by unknown forces beforehand, but it is now producing a Rocket every 2 Turns. This Wonder is undefended.
-NB: Undefended Wonders can be conquered militarily, but it would probably be just as easy to reprogram them from a distance.

Hey,
To: Imperial House of Japan in Kyoto
From: The Yankee Suns
Who now claims the title of Mikado of Japan? The Yankee Suns would kindly ask if you have military forces, computer access & available equipment. The Yankee Suns would be willing to provide a militia bodyguard if you are truly the Mikado.
The reason for the question & the offer is we have a common enemy to our southwest. A Yakuza group located in Kyushu, didn't even give us their name, demanding payment in these times of peril. I will not stand for such thievery. I'm sure the Mikado would agree.

I am glad to see your devotion to Japan, hopefully together we can bring our nation back to the peak of the world. I find what you say about the Yakuza deeply troubling. Like our own forces much of their leadership was lost in the recent war, but the new leaders of the Yakuza have no respect for outsiders, even my own envoys have been treated rudely, I assumed they had not been recognized.

We have sent scouts to Wales and near Exeter, and they have been attacked by violent, enraged Englishmen. We were able to get some of our best information further inland where a Rafiki Command group controls Wiltshire and most of the humans nearby are too worried to fight each other.
We have heard that the Royal Family is gone, and that on some windy nights London still smolders. The surviving Englishmen are quite incapable of forming a government at the moment, it is possible that there are better chances up North.

Holy crap. Sorry for those comments, we probably sound a little douchy now. Your islands must be hell right now. We're focused on the Leleea and Marseilles right now, but we'll send aid afterwards. You have our word.

Professeur du Historié Jean Garcon was in a heated discussion with the headmaster of the University of Caen. "I simply can not teach history if this crap continues to happen. First aliens raised Hebrews, and now these Dolphins... crap", he said. The Headmaster countered, "Well, I agree this has been... strange events. However, what are we to do? We can't just not stop our classes! We have standards here"! Garcon went again, "Why can't we just halt classes for a semester, then make all students retake a introduction course teaching about these... aliens". After a couple of minutes of bickering, the two agreed.
Meanwhile, over in Marine Biology, Professeur Marie Cleaux had a lesson on dolphins, specifically "Dolphins and you- a Relook on our history". Of course, one student had a very important question. "So, Dolphins are actually extraterrestrials, who tried converting us to an interplanetary religion but failed.", she said. Cleaux nodded and said, "Yes, unfortunately, oui. Dolphins are indeed extraterrestrial missionaries". Another student pitched in. "So, the cases of dolphins raping humans are because they believe a dolphin-human master race would be the end result?", he asked. "Yes, comes straight from the Emperor himself in his communications from the dolphins. If you are sick and twisted enough for first hand account, just go to Easter Island. And I'm sure those Moai are in fact mobile, but buried, war mechs". The class went into an uproar. "This was probably huge on you guys, so I'm just letting you kids go now. Remember, your pet might just be an alien spy". The class started laughing even harder.

And it's a very good question, maybe your scientology for dolphins answer is the right one. Feel free to explore this mystery.
