Blatant landgrabs? SIR! I am upholding the peace against INTERSTELLAR BARBARISM!

The capslock makes it true. *nod.*

He's right. Capital letters are simply capital for instilling authority in one's sentences. Simply capital, I say!

The Volunteer Guard will put all imperialists in their place! Against the wall after the revolution is over!

(If the Chamaran's will let them transit through their space anyway )

I think that judging by the distances and times, the revolution will be well over by the time they get here...

Shhh! Don't tell them that.

Oooh, maybe we'll get to have in International Incident.

Prepare yourselves for my species low self-esteem and use of run-on speech patterns. Revel as a strongly suggest that we should politely consider whether something should be done.

Checking a few things with Nephthys before I post my response in the diplomacy thread. Stand by.

Yeah, Mahal doesn't like the smell of imperialism.

No one here is imperialistic. We all are benevolent nations out to save and help lesser nations

If you want people to buy that, you should really come up with a pretext that has at least slightly fewer holes than a block of Swiss cheese.

Well, I hope Mr. Druganov was as insulting as possible there.

He certainly succeeded there. Unfortunately for diplomacy and peace, dueling's legal in the Star Kingdom. If Druganov doesn't withdraw his remarks, it'll be the Countess's duty, as the senior noble present, to kill him.

That might be cool to see how that plays out actually.

Druganov isn't an easy mark though, the entire reason that he's head of mission is that he's a combat veteran with a hefty war record (And political conections). He is also a gene engineered soldier who was made big enough to use support weapons without power armor or the like among a few other enhancements.

Oh, so he's about a match for a Zambaran, who are about the build of a Wookiee only with an extra pair of arms. Sorry to rain on your parade, but we're not about to have dueling in the assembly hall.

I'd imagine not. But it would certainly make the six O'clock news worth watching anyway

On a more serious note, Druganov would probably refuse to duel or do anything of the like because he would consider that legitimizing a social structure that he despises.

It's probably a good thing for the Countess, that. And me, since I'd rather not make up another ambassador.

BTW Karmic, if we have a deal on this planet development thing, how do we want to write it up in the main thread?

PS: Darth Raptor I'll have a response for your latest post later tonight as well.

Really, I expect better. Such blatant lies openly presume that everyone else is blind; do you really think it's going to put anybody off?

Maybe Maybe not Rogue. But out of the five people who can directly intervene in the situation / are adjacent to Llaeler three are in on it, one is gonna try and war profiteer and the last is a sinister robot intellect that's been worryingly quiet so far.

Will we be hearing the Chamaran's take on the situation soon?

The reason the lies are so pathetic is because, well, they're lies. There's only so many ways one can bend the truth, after all. Darkevilme raises an excellent point, however: At the moment, there's precious little anyone can do about it.

One could at least go to the trouble of having a better set-up; this was just sloppy.

Quiet enough to not even post an ORBAT, now that you mention it.

This robot intellect is perfectly content to let the organics try and cut each other up. If they involve themselves, it will be in an attempt to escalate the situation.

I'm busy dressing the Kaeleer as victims and you as a bad person Facts are relative, anyway
