Madam President: As I have monitored these acts of diplomacy, I see a great effort to make peace and it pleases me.
There is no doubt that we are on the same side of the overall Ideal but on different sides of the gun. I hold no anger or spite toward the E.L.F and do wish for a more friendly attitude between our peoples. But the fact remains that we will show no mercy to the Gian terrorists. If you wish to move forward diplomatically with us I urge you to renounce all ties to Gians...
As for your dealings with the Phantoms and other dangerous factions, that may be the topic of much later discussions. :sleep:
Message to: President, those Remnant Folk
Comm Id: F-23 Discordia, aboard the Eris Ascendant
*Ma'am Prez:*
*(Just between us girls...).. The current association of our L.D.D. Division with the Gaian "terrorists" may actually prove a benefit to you. Our Division members are currently in the process of spreading the Word of Eris among the Gaian faction throughout Sirius. We are acting as "missionaries' to the Gaians in hopes that a few new paradignms will make them a bit less cranky.*
*Admittedly, the Tree-huggers are well-known as the "loose cannons" of the Sector. We prefer to let the cannons roll loose when it suits the Will of Our Goddess, and only then.*
*However, the relinquishing of L.D.D.'s current Gaian affiliation would be rather untimely and costly at the moment. Our association was a matter of convenience, and still remains so. Mal has hinted that if the CR would be willing to offer some "concessions" to the E.L.F., then the matter might be taken under advisement.*
*Roll the Apple around amongst all those alpha males, and see what you come up with, Madam Girlfriend.*
Oh, and clean up those bloody mines around Harris, will you?!!!
It isn't hardly safe to take the Leeds/31 Jump Gate anymore, what with all the Kusari Fighters hanging about constantly at Glasgow, thumbing their noses at the Brets and the SF. Your hosts had best get on the ball!
And now you've gone and strewn a gazillion mines around the only alternate route, the Edinburgh hole. Instead of dealing with the regular route, you've gone and trashed the yard all up. Looks like ancient Appalachia!
We do have the occassional bounty hunter, scrambled eggs and fruit salad to "liberate" at Arranmore, ya know.. Harumph!

Madam President: If it is true that your L.D.D. Division with the Gaian terrorists are acting as missionaries to the Gians then we may be getting off to a good start!
Can I can be assured that all of your pilots carrying a Gian ID will NOT use any of there fire power against Britonia, Planetform and the Colonial Remnant.
If so then I can appeal to Adama not to fire upon any of your L.D.D and keep it all very civil until the day you drop the Gian cause for good. When that day comes we may even be able to join forces in an alliance...
Also, the mines in Tau-31 have been placed there by the Britonian Navy in reaction to the influx of kusari attacks and they bug us just as much as you!
P.S. Please explain in detail what you mean by "Concessions" and I may oblige...
Honestly, the mines and the fleet buildup in Tau-31 only complicates things for us. I've thought for a long time I was done fighting other humans over such petty things but it seems our reunification with the rest of humanity has turned back the clock so to speak.
I wish you well in your efforts with the Gaians. If anything it will distract them from attacking our civilians. Perhaps you can send some missionaries to the SCRA too? ;)
Alas, Sir, we have sent missionaries to the SCRA. They are very fixated on this journey back to "Earth", and seem to have no time for religion. We have even offerred them the use of our sacremental herb, Kallisti Gold, in an effort to tweak their synapses spiritually. They seem to prefer the shoddy and overpriced wares of those London Drug Inc. hellions.
What do you make of this Rheinland buildup, Adama? Any potential threat to your ultimate goal of peace from that front, do you suppose?
...Perhaps the SCRA need to see our astrological surveys from Sol system, they are....sobering.
My only hope with the Reinlanders is that they give the Kusari another element to worry about. We have pinned our hopes on a near bankrupt corporation that is under siege, literally. So any diversion of the Imperial Navy's bombardment of Harris is good for us.
My apologies, Admiral for my earlier rant regarding the mines. It has been brought to my attention by an "associate" that the path from the Edinburgh hole to Planet Harris misses the minefield entirely. (if you don't become tempted to sniff those Kusari wrecks along the way.)
Malaclypse to the President:
We are..... considering our options. Members of the LDD have been consulted, and suggestions have been made. I wish to convene a full session of the Council of High Fives before making the serious move of abandoning our Gaian hosts and potential converts to Eris.
As to concessions, you have a preliminary list under separate cover. I would not expect you to agree to any of them unless we do in fact decide to "change our stripes".. at least the LDD's stripes.
Madam President: Sorry eris, but I cant justify keeping these matters confidential...
Quote:If, and I stress IF.. we abandon the Gaians.. there is the cost of new ID, lotta bribes, and the time and labor to change the LDD's reps.
That would fairly be 5 Mil X 5 LDD members... 25 Million.
Then there's the matter of the "Original Snub"... Eris gettin' kicked out of Heaven and all.. Talk to your Priests.. If they'll allow Eris into your pantheon as a permanent member, and allow your citizens to worship her if they choose, then I think we'd be more apt to cut our Gaian ties.
And finally, a donation to the POEE (Church of Eris) would really make the lads pay attention.. would help us build that nice Temple of Eris when we decide to put down roots.
Madam President: First lets cut to the brass tax of it. I am prepared to transfer 50MILL directly to you, Eris, to be distributed accordingly. 30MIL is adequate to cover the cost of new IDs and political motivation. 20MIL will joyfully ;) be donated to the Church or Eris...
I can give this money to you upon your agreement to follow through although, my pineal is of the large swinging kind, so I will have to run it by him first.
As of this other matter.
In the collapse of our society, those many years ago, All of the old more strict ways of worship have disappeared. Though some of our civilian ships have set aside rooms to use as places of worship; No large organized "church" has been appointed. Our citizens are free to choose almost any deity and that would include yours. As of now we hold our faith in our hearts and your free to prey with and for us from any bridge or cock pit.
It may please you to know that I have considered allowing you to construct your "Church or Eris" on the planet Harris.
[attachmentid=1018]
This would allow the free exchange of both our peoples beliefs in a neutral environment. This construction issue may be agreed upon soon because this institution of yours would not pose any military threat, even now when your military does. Of course this needs to be stamped by Admiral Adama first.
