I have remained silent long enough...
First... Avatarius...thank you for your wise words. The Athens Accord is the hope and dream of all who live here on this planet -- clan, neutral or Omni. This agreement will allow for those who hold dear the people and resources of this place, so as to protect them from the threat of an outside "taker". The ICC is watching our every move -- all of us. They can take from us what they leased to us at any time were we to break their rules....
This is one step that we at Division9 (as well as the other signing parties) feel is a step towards securing the ability to work together to build up this planet's economy and prosperity.
Now Luxxan, you seem to have an issue with this agreement because it involves Omni-Tek. Frankly, this agreement is something that Chairman Ross should be hoping will happen so as to avoid a war. If a war does happen it will throw us into turmoil, production will come to a halt and the ICC will sweep in and take us out of control. We all have a common interest here...Rubi-Ka!
Tricia, you were at the signing and I value your input, however, your viewpoint is rather tainted. You are clan and yet you oppose peace? Is that not contradictory? You fight for freedom and peace...and yet when it is made available through a partnership (that might I add was a mutually cooperative creation) like the Athen Accords you turn your nose up at it.
Look beyond the present...not all Omni-Tek are like those in the Black Alliance. Some, like Div9, Titan Mining and SkyTek (to name just three) are interested in a LOGICAL SOLUTION to Rubi-Ka's conflict...this will take time and effort, this we know, but we are willing to sacrifice what it takes to do that.
I thank all that support this work and who attended this event...it was truly the dawning of a new era on Rubi-Ka. My prayer is that it continues...
