Director Moscardelli Speaks Against Loren Warr

[Swiftmind]

Greetings Citizens of Rubi-Ka,

On February 2, 29478, I visited the Newland Bar for a speech by a representative of the Newland City Council. Besides the representative being 45 minutes late and trying to listen between all the political bickering, the meeting was going rather well. I have stated my views on the outcome of the speech by the representative in reply to Omtron’s article. But this statement is on a different matter.

Soon after the meeting got underway, we had an unexpected visitor. Loren Warr, the mercenary leader, walked in with two of her thugs. Many shook in the sight of her but I did not, for I trusted her not to do anything hostile towards myself and my companions. Not surprisingly she protested against the council relieving her of their position as defense. But what she did next was completely unexpected and not justified. She ordered her weak thugs to attack not just the Council member but everyone.

Many screamed and ran for cover as the Thugs opened fire. Between the plasma fire, I saw Loren Warr cowardly walking out of the area. Then to my complete surprise and disbelief the Thugs turned their guns on me. But not just me, they attacked my companions as well. This hostile action by Loren Warr and her thugs was not needed. Loren attacked Omni-Tek citizens. Their pitiful attacks could not even dent my black dress. But that is not the point.

The hostile actions taken against my companions and I are crimes against Omni-Tek. I was contempt with her until yesterday. She now has my complete hatred and I will not stand while she betrays Omni-Tek. I will also not stand for her attacking me! Loren Warr must be taken out of Newland. It…oh excuse me, she has gone too far now. These attacks are multiple crimes against the Omni-Tek Corporation and must be sought after by Omni-Pol and Omni-AF.

Today and for now on, I urge Omni-Pol and Omni-AF officials to take care of her. She must be punished for her crimes. I believe that the might and authority of these two departments is the only thing that can take care of her. But I also believe that Loren Warr can still be talked too, and save Newland from war. Today I request Omni-Pol and Omni-AF officials to speak with Loren Warr about stepping down. I myself will go speak to her if needed. It is time to end this nonsense in Newland and bring it back to its former state.

Thank you for your time.

As an Atrox, Ms. Warr has a predisposition for violence towards anything it doesn't understand (and just plain violence for any reason whatsoever), which, as an Atrox, pretty much includes most things. So, perhaps Ms. Warr was simply in a confused rage. An alternative to relieving it from it's valuable duties and satiate it's desire for blood might be to send Omni-Pol to Borealis where they can wait by the whompa and shove Clanners through to Newland City for Ms. Warr to do it's thing and get a little job satisfaction.

I'm impressed, Nevver. You've plumbed a new depth: racism, jingoism and sadisitic cruelty all perfectly intermingled in a single de****able thought. Then again, I suppose you know more about a predisposition for violence than anyone, don't you? Pray for Redemption, for your time is drawing nigh.

God save Omni-Tek!

Nevver shrugs.

Everyone is good at something, my dear fanatic.

[____________Talonarr]

Nice to see we're working a nice peaceful solution to the issue, Nevver.

Rest assured that no one will be pushing anyone through whompas in Borealis anytime in the near future. Remember that ICC would like to continue to act as if they had power on Rubi-Ka. They probably would frown heavily on any acts of violence in what is one of the last safe havens on the planet.

[Nevver]

Sure, sure, Clanner - go cry to the ICC again. And be sure to use a scanner before going through the whompa to ICC (both provided by Omni-Tek, of course) before you complain. That's what free people do.

This is so odd to hear because with all the warnings I went to Newland last night and found Loren Warr to be completely calm. It didn't attack me and just stood there performing the duties it was charged to do (defending the city).

It personally irritates me to see Omni-Tek citizens speak out against an atrox that has so diligently served Newland, killing goatheads who (have or will one day) launch attacks on Omni and nuetral towers, towns, etc; who's very presence has kept the Snetinels from taking over Newland.

I find it appalling to see People from notable Omni organizations attending rallies that serve none other then our very enemy.

I find it revolting to read announcements of support for anything that would just result in free movement for the clans. OT gains nothing by removing Loren Warr.

Omni-Tek employee(s) getting temporarily killed (or attacked) for attending a meeting that serves our enemies... I really don't see a problem with it at all - I hope it continues.

I am personally disgusted by some of the traiterous actions and statements made by "loyal" Omni-Tek's employees.

And do you consider Mr. Ross to be included among that group, Ms. Div? Perhaps the following log of yesterday evening's event might alter your opinion somewhat:

Start logging of "Vicinity" at 02/03/04 21:34:38

21:34: Whispe: JAME?
21:34: Nashka: Oh well you must of heard about last night?
21:34: Whispe has a look of shock wash across her face
21:34: Nashka looks to Whispe
21:35: Whispe: Uhm...no?
21:35: Nashka: Yea those Jobians
21:35: Nashka: There company seemed to be..
21:35: Whispe: JAME. In Newland. Replacing Ms. Warr.
21:35: Nashka looks to Ardelyne
21:35: Ardelyne: We announced last night that we were accepting J.A.M.E's proposal for equipment and training. Newland will be free under the protection of her own citizens soon.
21:35: Whispe: Will they be providing personnel?
21:36: Ardelyne: We're providing our own staffing
21:36: Nashka: Hey hold up hehe
21:36: Flashwing: with all due respect, are you sure it will go that easily?
21:36: Ardelyne: This has been a long and arduous decision
21:36: Nashka: But no one knew till last night
21:36: Whispe: Oooooo boy...
21:36: Whispe sighs
21:36: Nashka: And I think you dhould reconsider
21:37: Whispe mumbles "Ammicus isn't gonna like this..."
21:37: Ardelyne: The council has been meeting for many, many sessions
21:37: Nashka: Promarily the fee of 700mil
21:37: Nashka: And 50 mil Bi monthly is too much even the citizens can see taht
21:37: Nashka: Hmm
21:37: Nashka frowns
21:37: Flashwing notices whipse's pacing
21:37: Ardelyne: Freedom comes at a price, my friends
21:38: Flashwing: has the NLC planned for the possibility that War might resist?
21:38: Nashka: Well can I ask why on the financial bases it was accepted when the RUR and Circle G propsal was far cheaper?
21:38: Flashwing realizes he should wait his turn
21:38: Ardelyne: I'm not prepared to discuss the internal deliberations of the Council at this time.
21:39: Elixus mutters something about politicians
21:39: Nashka sihs well Please reconsider the proposal, I have here a summary given to me to give you in person
21:39: Nashka: Please reconsider the proposal, I have here a summary given to me to give you in person
21:39: Nashka: By Dabblez
21:40: Nashka hads a document to Ardelyne
21:40: Ardelyne: I am open to listening, but I cannot make promises.
21:41: Nashka: As you can see
21:42: Nashka: It is a solution that is also a Nutral organisations baby
21:42: Nashka: Yes RUR is omni
21:42: Nashka: Yes we make the parts
21:42: Nashka: But the armament is Circle G as well as the MAD brain
21:43: Nashka: Dual processing I think they call it?
21:43: Nashka looks to the professor
21:43: Ardelyne: Alignment did come into the deliberations, I think it would be fair to say.
21:43: Whispe freezes in place and begins to read the IRRK News Flash
21:43: Flashwing accesses his datapad
21:44: Ardelyne: You had comment, Mr. Flashwing?
21:44: Nashka: Yes but think it this way, our main office is, well now moved due to Warrs threats.. in NLC
21:44: Nashka: Yea Flash
21:44: Flashwing: I apologize for interupting earlier but I have a theory to offer...
21:44: Whispe stops pacing and returns to the group
21:45: Flashwing: It's clear that Lorenn War has quite a stake in their protecting Newland City
21:45: Flashwing: and I think after the actions which took place at their last meeting, it's clear that they might be capable of more hostile action than people will admit
21:45: Ardelyne: Perhaps...
21:46: Flashwing: is the council prepared to defend the city if War was to try and hold it hostage?
21:46: Flashwing: Now, I'm not fully familiar with the capabilities of JAME,
21:46: Ardelyne: With appropriate equipment and training, we believe we are the best source of protection for our own people.
21:46: Nashka: So then JAME has the contract?
21:46: Flashwing: but I can't imagine they would be able to easily make a transition as protection
21:47: Ardelyne: Warr's presence has gone past the bounds of support that was originally envisioned.
21:47: Ardelyne: Newland is a free city, we intend to keep it that way, of our own accord.
21:47: Flashwing: as part of RUR's security division I can asure you we are in a much better position to protect the people of NLC is such a situation would arise
21:47: Nashka: so then JAME are to replace them?
21:48: Nashka nods to flashwing
21:48: Whispe: And what does the Council feel about the Sentinels' countinued presence in Tir? And their continued slaughter of neutral citizens?
21:48: Ardelyne: J.A.M.E has offered materìel -- not protection
21:48: Ardelyne: We will protect ourselves.
21:48: Nashka: And it has been accepted?
21:49: Whispe smiles thinly at Ardelyne
21:49: Ardelyne: Whispe, the Sentinel's activities are another issue entirely.
21:49: Flashwing looks at Naska
21:49: Nashka: were promised that Tharno were to adress us on this pivatol point
21:49: Nashka: &We
21:49: Whispe: But Warr and the Sentinels were inextricably intertwined.
21:49: Ardelyne: We care for the live and well being of all neutral citizens, and we certainly will be continuing discussion on the matter.
21:49: Whispe nods
21:49: Whispe: Good to hear.
21:49: Whispe smiles
21:50: Nashka: Hmm A true politition hehe
21:50: Whispe smirks at Nashka
21:50: Nashka tries again to figure out if its a work in progress or a definate
21:50: Whispe: And what do you think of Omni-InternOps issuing a travel advisory for Newland City, warning Omni-Tek employees to stay away?
21:50: Blackswords: the JAME reps are on they're way in
21:50: Ardelyne: Very good, Blackswords
21:50: Nashka: Hmm
21:51: Nashka: Thanks for the heads up
21:51: Nashka: Be interesting to ask them a few things
21:51: Flashwing: agreed
21:51: Nashka scowls a bit
21:51: Flashwing curses under his breath
21:51: Nashka: Ah hello again Cygwin
21:51: Cygwin: Have we arrived on time?
21:52: Ardelyne: Citizens, I ask that you give appropriate courtesy to the representatives of J.A.M.E
21:52: Nashka: Beutifully so
21:52: Cygwin: It seems that the company of late is a little, lacking..
21:52: Cygwin: Oh well, all the better I suppose... Less chaos.
21:52: Nashka: Indeed
21:52: Flashwing: Lavidia, Cygwin...
21:52: Flashwing nods to each
21:52: Nashka: Please come
21:53: Ardelyne: Cygwin, please join me
21:53: Nashka tries to hold back some disdain
21:53: Whispe eyes Cygwin and Lavidia su****iously
21:53: Lavidia bows politely
21:53: Nashka: We were in disscussion Cygwin
21:53: Whispe: Maddam.
21:53: Cygwin: Have you reached a decigion with regards to our contract, Ardelyne?
21:53: Nashka: Perhaps you could reiterate your suggestions
21:53: Whispe nods respectfully at Lavidia
21:53: Ardelyne: Yes, Cygwin, we have.
21:54: Nashka: And?
21:54: Cygwin: It has come to my understand that this price has risen significantly from the estimate that was given yesterday.
21:54: Cygwin looks to Lavidia
21:54: Ardelyne: Oh?
21:54: Ardelyne raises an eyebrow
21:55: Lavidia whipsers some thing in to cygwin's ear
21:55: Cygwin: Ah yes
21:55: Flashwing raises an eyebrow
21:55: Flashwing nods to whispe
21:56: Nashka smiles
21:56: Ardelyne: We have raised the funds required...
21:56: Nashka: And how much by another 700mil outlay?
21:56: Serraglio frowns slightly
21:56: Nashka is stunned
21:56: Ardelyne: We are prepared to make the 700 million downpayment, and 400 million bi-monthly maintenance.
21:56: Nashka is confused
21:56: Nashka: My God!
21:56: Cygwin sighs
21:56: Flashwing is shocked
21:56: Lavidia looks at Cygwin
21:56: Elixus chokes
21:57: Whispe tightens the grip on her rifle
21:57: Aleczandra feels faint
21:57: Blackswords just shrugs....
21:57: Cygwin: My superiors have stated that the price will be raised to precisely double that amount.
21:57: Nashka: And How Ardelyne are you to pay for this?
21:57: Ardelyne: Double!?
21:57: Cygwin: The contract will now be a 1.4 billion credit down payment.
21:57: Nashka was joking when he said another 700mil and is aghast
21:57: Ardelyne: On what grounds.
21:58: Cygwin: The residing issues of newland city, not prediscussed in the original negotiations
21:58: Ardelyne: We have carefully negotiated that price, Master Cygwin
21:58: Flashwing: you don't think that floating city floats on charity do you?
21:58: Aleczandra looks over Nashka
21:58: Cygwin: It seems by accepting this contract, J.A.M.E. Is putting its own name on the line.
21:58: Lavidia shuffles some papers in her hands
21:58: Nashka: Oh Boy this is laughable
21:59: Whispe glares at Lizor
21:59: Cygwin: Such a hefty burdon requires compensation.
21:59: Nashka cant resist but laugh
21:59: Lizor returns the glare
21:59: Ardelyne: The burden is on my people, Cygwin
21:59: Cygwin: Ardelyne, we are not a charity.
21:59: Flashwing: 1.4 billion buys a lot of coffee these days
21:59: Blackswords: Hey Lizor
21:59: Nashka: Yea theres no way our offices will pay more council taxes
21:59: Lizor: Hi Jon
21:59: Cygwin: We are not basing this agreement simply on morality or emotion.
21:59: Flashwing lookds a nashka
21:59: Ardelyne: We do not expect charity, but this increase is outrageous
21:59: Nashka: Thats for one
22:00: Cygwin: We are a company, basing our prices on what we decide is best for the well being of our own existance.
22:00: Aleczandra laughs
22:00: Whispe glances at her wrist datapad, and sneaks off

((Part 2, next post))

[AiymaNeut]

22:00: Whispe: Sirs!
22:00: Whispe: T-t-this is madness...
22:01: Zaladbar: make way
22:01: Zaladbar: make way for Phillip Ross
22:01: Phillip Ross: Hmmm
22:01: Jecs shouts: Hail to the cheif!
22:01: Ardelyne: Mr. Ross
22:01: Nashka: Oh Err
22:01: Nashka: Hello Sir
22:01: Flashwing: oh my....
22:01: Phillip Ross: Councillor Ardelyne?
22:01: Genknife: Not very well defended
22:01: Lavidia looks at Cygwin in shock
22:01: Phillip Ross: Citizens.
22:01: Genknife: You are a brave man
22:01: Ardelyne: Welcome to my fair city, though I must admit that I am surprised to see you here.
22:02: Nashka: An Honour SIr
22:02: Phillip Ross: Yes, well...
22:02: Cygwin looks at ross with disdain
22:02: Serraglio thinks suprised don't start to cover it
22:02: Lizor: This is starting to smell.
22:02: Phillip Ross: ...I came to attend your meeting.
22:02: Elixus tries to hide a little
22:02: Phillip Ross: So. Please do carry on.
22:02: Ardelyne: I see.
22:02: Whispe loads the clip of her rifle, and eyes Lizor
22:03: Blackswords Pulls Lizor back a bit
22:03: Lizor tightens her hands on her dirks and keeps her senses tuned
22:03: Genknife: Please. Be nice. Wouldn't want to ruin someone's clothing
22:03: Cygwin: Ardelyne, are you prepared to pay our amount or not.
22:03: Nashka: I suggest not Ardelyne
22:03: Flashwing clutches his sword
22:03: Nashka: Please reconsider
22:03: Nashka: Its rediculas
22:03: Lizor: Pay it and clear NLC for free passage again.
22:03: Flashwing: This is clearly just a bully attempt
22:03: Ardelyne: Cygwin, we are prepared to pay the amount we agreed upon previously. No new risks have been presented to JAME to justify such an increase.
22:03: Nashka looks to Philip Ross
22:04: Whispe: I think we should allow Mr. Ross to speak.
22:04: Phillip Ross: Whispe, is it?
22:04: Lizor: Oh he will speak up when he deems it necessary
22:04: Flashwing looks to Ross
22:04: Whispe nods, looking down nervously
22:04: Lizor stands with her guildmate
22:04: Sibbia thinks Circle G's offer was much lower
22:04: Ardelyne: I simply ask you to reconsider your demand for additional funds
22:04: Whispe: Y-y-yes sir.
22:04: Cygwin: The risks yesterday were enough. The price given was an estimate.
22:04: Phillip Ross: Do not hide.
22:05: Phillip Ross: Come forward Whispe.
22:05: Whispe walks slowly to
22:05: Zaladbar: we're watching you Clanner.
22:05: Whispe walks slowly to Phillip Ross's side
22:05: Phillip Ross: What price are we talking about Cygwin?
22:05: Cygwin raises an eyebrow
22:05: Lizor: Watch all you want.
22:05: Ardelyne: Neutral citizens of Rubi-Ka are a small base of the population, we have resources, but not endless ones.
22:05: Nashka: As I know
22:05: Flashwing: agreed
22:05: Cygwin: Are you interested in our security contract Ross? I think not.
22:06: Cygwin: Please ask the council woman, J.A.M.E. Is acting as a third party contractor.
22:06: Nashka: Perhaps he is?
22:06: Phillip Ross: I am interested in nothing more, then the Neutrals holding up to that which they want...
22:06: Phillip Ross: To be Neutral.
22:06: Phillip Ross: But, what is it you ask?
22:06: Nashka: Indeed and the RUR project by far is a good solution
22:06: Sibbia's pet, Flexo Buff Boy: If that is your wish, master...
22:06: Sibbia's pet, Flexo Buff Boy: Deactivating...
22:06: Flashwing: and we are prepared to be fair, not push around those in need
22:07: Ardelyne: My esteemed counterpart -- JAME had offered a contract of a 700 million downpayment for equipment and training.
22:07: Phillip Ross: You are serious about replacing Loren Warr, and her team?
22:07: Ardelyne: We are.
22:07: Ardelyne: With citizens of Newland
22:07: Phillip Ross: I see...
22:07: Ardelyne: We require the equipment offered by JAME, and their training.
22:07: Genknife: I even't seen many well trained citizens recently
22:07: Ardelyne: But Newland will be protected by Newlanders.
22:07: Cygwin: The 700 million was simply an estimate, given after the attack of loren warr and her bodyguards.
22:07: Lizor grips and regrips her dirks
22:08: Ardelyne: JAME was apparently intimidated by Ms. Loren Warr yesterday evening, and feels their services are now with 1,400 million in downpayment.
22:08: Pyromanche: Newland currently is a ghost town, who still resides here for such a task
22:08: Lavidia looks around nervously
22:08: Cygwin: Such events have made my executives weary of the entire issue, and such denotes the increase in price.
22:08: Nightprey Looks for her mezz Pet
22:08: Nashka: Well RUR offers stands with bots which are by difinition what the NLC council program them to be
22:08: Ardelyne: He cannot see, that the risk is on the people of Newland, not that of JAME, yet he will not be flexible with their demands for an increase.
22:09: Phillip Ross: Loren Warr is still using her influence to push others around.
22:09: Ardelyne: We very much wish to work with the equipment offered, to protect ourselves.
22:09: Genknife: Try a loan. Or do a payment plan
22:09: Genknife shrugs
22:09: Ardelyne: Yes, she is. She and her brother know no other way, it seems.
22:09: Pyromanche thinks the money can be raised
22:09: Nashka knows too well Warr has demanded 'protection money'
22:09: Phillip Ross: What have you managed to come up with Councellor, to offer Representative Cygwin?
22:09: Nashka looks to pyromanch
22:09: Cygwin: It is not up to me to decide the prices set forth by my assosciation.
22:09: Nashka shakes his head
22:09: Sibbia thinks Circle G could train personel just as well as JAME
22:10: Nashka: Then tell them its unreasonabl;e
22:10: Ardelyne: We had managed to raise the 700 million downpayment agreed to yesterday, with additional funds for a 400 million reucurring payment.
22:10: Nashka: We have had a better solution
22:10: Cygwin rolls his eyes
22:10: Nashka: rejected without clarity
22:10: Ardelyne: He now demands twice that! We need this freedom, these tools to help us.
22:10: Cygwin: Clearly stated, multiple times, yesterdays estimate was infact an estimate.
22:10: Pyromanche thinks RUR's proposed bots were not good enough
22:11: Phillip Ross: And what about you all gathered here. What can the citizens them selves afford?
22:11: Ardelyne: We want dependence on ourselves, citizens. We need the materiel to be provided by JAME, but the responsibility will remain with our own.
22:12: Pyromanche: neutrals and other private citizens have pledged money to replace the mercs here in Newland
22:12: Nashka: Well I may not be neutral, but our proposal that I have here is still economical
22:12: Razishlyat: The clans have also pledged money to keep Newland City neutral.
22:12: Nashka: and designed jointly by Circle G
22:12: Whispe rolls her eyes at Razishlyat
22:12: Nashka: So that Our corperation would not be accussed of control
22:12: Sibbia: Circle G has also offer their services to remove Ms Warr
22:13: Ardelyne 's attention turns to her vibrating comm link
22:13: Cygwin sighs
22:13: Phillip Ross: Whispe, yes? What are your thoughts?
22:13: Nashka: Thjis project I wouls like to presnt to you all if I may?
22:13: Pyromanche: The Union has pledged it's help and support to the removal of Mr Warr
22:13: Ardelyne: A moment, please
22:13: Whispe: I think that...to be fair, no one should be here except neutrals.
22:13: Whispe looks down
22:13: Ardelyne turns and whispers into her comm unit
22:13: Cygwin: More innteruptions?
22:13: Phillip Ross: Nashka, from Organisation R.U.R.
22:13: Lavidia looks at Cygwin
22:14: Blackswords grabs Lizors shoulder and pulls her back
22:14: Flashwing stands at attention
22:14: Ardelyne raises her voice in frustratoin
22:14: Nashka: Indeed *sighs* but outr proposal is of a product
22:14: Ardelyne: What?!
22:14: Lizor glares over her shoulder at John
22:14: Razishlyat: I am here as a reporter, Wispe.
22:14: Ardelyne hisses into the comm
22:14: Lavidia looks at Ardelyne
22:14: Ardelyne: How could this have happened.
22:14: Nashka: OK Sir well here is the proposal
22:14: Phillip Ross: What such proposals have you brought, that will keep the Neutrals, indeed Neutral?
22:15: Ardelyne: RUIN us!
22:15: Pyromanche laughs at anyone "keeping" neutrals neutral aside from themselves
22:15: Whispe: I meant no offence, ma'am. Just that it's hard to think the clans can have any say as long as Silverstone keeps occupying Tir.
22:15: Cygwin looks at Ardelyne
22:15: Cygwin: Ruin who?
22:15: Flashwing: We are proposing a system which will be regulated by the NLC and which will keep newland netural and done so by it's own people
22:15: Lavidia looks at Ardelyne
22:15: Whispe looks at Razishlyat and frowns slightly
22:15: Genknife: Sounds... expensive.
22:15: Ardelyne closes the comm and composes herslef
22:15: Lavidia: yes Ruin Who M'lady
22:15: Razishlyat: Silverstone is a different problem, one we will deal with when we can.
22:16: Phillip Ross: I've heard enough!
22:16: Nashka: End of reprt Sir
22:16: Pyromanche: Silverstone needs to be dealt with as well, but NLC must not be held hostage by him
22:16: Phillip Ross: It is sad to hear, that like other Omni-Tek employee's, you too wish to control.
22:16: Ardelyne smooths her hair, taking a deep breath
22:16: Lizor: I'd like to deal with Simon personally.
22:16: Phillip Ross: Councellor.
22:16: Serraglio blinks
22:16: Ardelyne: Yes, sir?
22:16: Nashka: Err sir we dont widh to control anything
22:17: Nashka: We supply goods
22:17: Razishlyat: Pyro, we do not wish to control. We wish to donate funds to keep Newland's options free.
22:17: Phillip Ross: I am willing to make up the difference...
22:17: Genknife: Sounds controlling to me.
22:17: Cygwin blinks
22:17: Ardelyne blinks quickly
22:17: Lizor: I knew it.
22:17: Whispe looks up at Philip Ross and smiles admiringly
22:17: Phillip Ross: But, what was this interruption that you received?
22:17: Lavidia looks at Phillip Ross
22:17: Sibbia wonders why Phillip Ross has any interest in this at all
22:17: Pyromanche: Razi, we are not charty.. neutrality tends to be inclusive unlike Omni and Clan
22:17: Ardelyne: I am afraid that I have just received word that the accounts of the Newland Council have been hacked.
22:18: Pyromanche coughs
22:18: Nashka looks to the AF soldier and smiles
22:18: Razishlyat gags
22:18: Whispe sighs upsettingly
22:18: Ardelyne: We are actively hunting down the culprits, but we are now missing 100 million in funds dedicated toward this project.
22:18: Aleczandra thinks something always has to go wrong.
22:18: Lizor: I have 14mil you can have right now.
22:18: Cygwin slaps his forehead
22:18: Nashka: What?
22:18: Lavidia: WHAT!
22:18: Cygwin: Ardelyne, this has gone far enough.
22:18: Phillip Ross: A sad twist.
22:19: Lizor: Expected.
22:19: Nashka: yes it has Cygwin get outta here

((Part 3, next post))

[AiymaNeut]

22:19: Phillip Ross: I will continue then.
22:19: Razishlyat eyes Cygwin
22:19: Nashka: You just want a foothold like everyone else
22:19: Ardelyne: Representative Cygwin , we will find a way - we must come together for a realistic agreement.
22:19: Lizor: Did you hire the hackers Phillip? or did you have a flunkie do it?
22:19: Lavidia looks at Cygwin in concern
22:19: Pyromanche wonders why RUR is so threatened
22:19: Phillip Ross: I am willing to make up the difference of this bill...
22:19: Nashka: I happen to like this town Omni or no
22:19: Cygwin: If you cannot control your own bank accounts, what will you do with our products?
22:19: Nashka: Lizor youre so misguided
22:20: Phillip Ross: It will come from my person funds, and I can assure Newland protection until your militia is trained by my own guard.
22:20: Lizor: And you are so brainwashed.
22:20: Ardelyne: Citizens, while my esteemed counterpart is a leader of the Omni faction, he has offered to make up the difference in our needs.
22:20: Nashka: glad the Clan joke still rings true
22:20: Nashka: Naa brasinwashed to what?
22:20: Ardelyne: Ross, you are offering training services as well?
22:20: Pyromanche: excuse me
22:20: Razishlyat: Let the Clans match Mr. Ross's contribution, credit for credit.
22:20: Nashka: Wanting to not be bullied by Warr?
22:20: Nightprey: Oh yes resort to insults nash
22:20: Nashka: I think thats a common goal right?
22:20: Razishlyat: Your neutrality is at stake here
22:20: Lizor: Shows the heart of an Omni-Tek employee.
22:20: Nashka sighs
22:20: Lizor: Nothing more.
22:21: Pyromanche: I think that you need to remember we have raised quite a bit of our own funds
22:21: Lunya chuckles
22:21: Ardelyne: Our neutrality has been a fragile existence for some time.
22:21: Nashka: And to think I party with ya some times Sheesh
22:21: Pyromanche: we are neutral, not poor
22:21: Ardelyne: Ms. Warr's presence has brought Newland to the brink.
22:21: Phillip Ross: When your militia is trained by the JAME members, my guards will do the protection of Newland.
22:21: Pyromanche: I believe it was 400 mil at last count
22:21: Lizor: Why not split the cost 3 ways?
22:21: Cygwin: I am glad to hear you have finally accepted out agreement, now..
22:21: Lizor: If all parties are interested in the same end...
22:22: Lizor: Actions, not words will be the proof.
22:22: Cygwin: Short of any new changes, benefactor or no benefactor, I will be bringing this to the attention of my superiors.
22:22: Genknife: I am supprised Loran isn't here. It is her job we're talking about
22:22: Nashka: Yea Pyro, you kinda dissaproved of the ST50 Bot we made, when ya seemed to realise Circle G was the armament part? a hunch? maybe... any comment on that?
22:22: Ardelyne: I thank you Cygwin, for being reasonable.
22:22: Phillip Ross: As for those donations you citizens are bringing forth.
22:22: Lizor: She's right outside. Go ask her.
22:22: Cygwin: We will be in contact.
22:22: Phillip Ross: I suggest you save them...For Dark times are coming.
22:22: Lunya: pfft
22:22: Pyromanche: why are you so threatened by anyting that does not agree with you?
22:22: Razishlyat raises an eyebrow at Phillip Ross
22:22: Lunya: You'd know it
22:22: Sibbia wonders about Nashka's comment too
22:22: Nightprey: As said always
22:22: Whispe furls her brow and looks up at Philip Ross
22:22: Nashka: Just asking is all Pyro
22:22: Pyromanche: you haev some serious issues
22:22: Lizor: Preparing an invastion, Phillip?
22:22: Cygwin: I will leave my assistant here to relay any information discussed further to me, aswell as answer any minor questions.
22:22: Ardelyne: And Mr. Ross, leader to leader, I thank you for your generosity, and look forward to the inevitable detailed discussions to follow soon.
22:23: Lunya: Dark times've been here
22:23: Genknife: Who said it was Ross who had planned anything could be something he heared
22:23: Pyromanche: and having Omni once again in some form protect us is no protection at all
22:23: Phillip Ross: Lizor? I have planned nothing.
22:23: Lizor: I don't believe you.
22:23: Phillip Ross: My interest is souly to see the Neutrals become that which they want most.
22:23: Lizor: Then let them.
22:23: Pyromanche: again then, we fall under their interest
22:23: Phillip Ross: To become Neutral.
22:23: Nashka: Boy Pyro please read the summary
22:23: Lunya: it's all about the credits, ain't it?
22:23: Lavidia looks around and steps forward
22:23: Nashka: Its not Omni Control
22:23: Pyromanche: we do that without help and pitty
22:23: Lizor: Its always about credits.
22:24: Phillip Ross: The funds I have brought here are of my own personal savings.
22:24: Pyromanche: Nashka
22:24: Nashka: Yes Maam
22:24: Lizor: In Neuts R Us.
22:24: Phillip Ross: There are no ties to OMNI-TEK
22:24: Pyromanche: your short sightedness proves you have no idea what neutrlity is
22:24: Ardelyne: The Newland Council is honored by the generosity of Mr. Ross
22:24: Razishlyat 's jaw drops
22:24: Nightprey: Hmmmmm
22:24: Lizor: And your money isn't Omni-Tek money right?
22:24: Pyromanche: I do not want to see Omni guards here to protect neutrals
22:24: Pyromanche: is that so hard to understand?
22:24: Nashka: Couse I dont and we dont thus the Directive programming is left to NLC COuncil Pyro
22:24: Nashka smiles
22:25: Phillip Ross: Councillor Ardelyne, please take the time to look over my offer.
22:25: Ardelyne: The final details will be worked out in detail Pyromanche, we are far from finished.
22:25: Pyromanche chuckles
22:25: Lunya: It ain't hard ta understand
22:25: Nashka: As I said yesterday to Mr Tharno
22:25: Pyromanche: I understand that Ardelyn
22:25: Ardelyne: I shall, Mr. Ross, the council will be meeting long into the night and beyond.
22:25: Sibbia: Circle G has also offered their services ti guard the city
22:25: Nashka: It will be programmed to neutrality, to whatever you decide it is
22:25: Phillip Ross: Trust me...Dark revelations have come.
22:25: Genknife: Revelations?
22:25: Lunya looks around
22:25: Nashka: we just wouls like to grow as a business
22:25: Pyromanche chuckels
22:26: Nashka cant read to fast lol
22:26: Lizor: He's been to Old Earth again.
22:26: Nightprey: Threats Phillip?
22:26: Lavidia writes down a few things on her data pad
22:26: Ardelyne: Your visions, Mr. Ross, your instincts, are legendary, though we may not always agree.
22:26: Phillip Ross: Finding out that the puppetmaster is but a puppet, makes a man change his beliefs.
22:26: Pyromanche: your knowledge of neutrality is so limited
22:26: Sibbia: Even if this would be a temporay situation it would at least still be a Neutral Guard posted
22:26: Blackswords: Um does that mean I should pratice more at teh shooting Range Boss Ross?
22:26: Lavidia punches in some numbers and hands them to Ardelyne
22:26: Ardelyne ponders the metaphore a moment
22:26: Ardelyne: Thank you lady Lavidia
22:27: Lavidia nods
22:27: Phillip Ross: As I have said, Omni-Tek has no ties.
22:27: Pyromanche: I hope so Mr Ross
22:27: Lunya shakes her head
22:27: Nashka thinks that oterwise out of any bid Mr Ross fears what he personally does.. JAME controlling all with subtlyty like a PAst World war
22:27: Nightprey: That remains to be seen
22:27: Lunya: I hope that's true, too
22:27: Phillip Ross: I have offered my personal funds to see that Newland has their own people guarding their own land.
22:27: Lunya: 'course... hope in one hand and... nevermind
22:27: Lunya: i think ya'll get it
22:27: Lizor: When I can visit my old apartment here again is when I will beleive it.
22:27: Nashka: SIR may I ask som,ething of you here since you have come here to voice your opinions?
22:27: Phillip Ross: Have you all forgotten, so easily and quickly the visions of when Shadowlands first opened up to us?
22:27: Ardelyne: Soon, Lizoar, very soon.
22:27: Lavidia makes a note of "Omni-Tek Has not Ties"-Phillio Ross
22:27: Razishlyat: Many have offered their personal funds... why should yours be any more valid?
22:28: Nashka looks to Mr Ross
22:28: Nashka: Sir?
22:28: Lizor: when I can stroll the city that brought me to Rubi-Ka and drowned me in her love... is when I will believe.
22:28: Lunya: 'cause his money used ta be ours anyhow
22:28: Phillip Ross: Nashka, Do go ahead.
22:28: Nightprey: Blood money....I hope not
22:28: Pyromanche: Many in the neutral comunity do not want funds coming from anyone but neutrals
22:29: Nashka: I was wondering as you know RUR make bots that are domestic in nature...
22:29: Lizor: I'd definitely like to see that.
22:29: Razishlyat: Mr. Ross, one question, if I may...
22:29: Genknife: Pyro. Take ross's offer. Pay him back someday
22:29: Nashka: We also have tried to offer the citizenship here a solution to the proposterous thugs
22:29: Nashka scowls
22:29: Lavidia: My Bosses in J.A.M.E. will expect you to keep your end of the deal paying the diffracne and saying you have no Ties sir
22:29: Pyromanche raises an eyebrow
22:30: Lizor: This can't seriously be happening.
22:30: Phillip Ross: As have I Nashka. I wish not to control, or let any one else within Omni-Tek take control of the Neutrals. My reasons are my own for offering the funding.
22:30: Ardelyne: Citizens, a solution that results in the protection of our fair lands by our own people may be costly, but in the end, provides more freedom than utter reliance on the troops of others.
22:30: Nashka: We are Oni Sir, but we are a company taht afet Omni Admin have reviewed are allowed to sell products and produce joint ventures
22:30: Nightprey: As i'm sure one day soon he will be asking for repayment
22:31: Nashka: But Id like you to assure the council that it is not OMNI control SIr, we wish only to make profit
22:31: Phillip Ross: Time is pressing and I have other business to attend to.
22:31: Phillip Ross: You all need to remember the visions we all saw when The Shadowlands were opened to us.
22:31: Nashka: (( Me is slightly dislesic and apologises as usual for typos))
22:31: Ardelyne nods
22:31: Phillip Ross: Save your money for the hard time to come.
22:31: Whispe smiles and whispers "we will, sir."
22:31: Lunya: visions? I saw another bloody war we're all lettin ourselves get dragged into
22:31: Nashka: I agree the hard time will
22:31: Blackswords: Maybe the Boss Ross is doing it because he's a Nice fellow at heart...He didn't start the mess with the clan Omnit-tek war he just inherited it.
22:32: Chaosgyro: Why should we have to? Do you mean to tell us that Omni won't protect us when the proverbial crap hits the fan?
22:32: Lizor: John...
22:32: Razishlyat: And where will you be in the hard times to come, Mr. ROss?
22:32: Nashka: But JAME is a part of it no matter how familiar
22:32: Zaladbar: Move Out
22:32: Ardelyne: Fair evening to you, Mr. Ross
22:32: Lizor: Yah, move out.
22:32: Lizor: Like a punk!
22:32: Lunya scowls
22:32: Lunya: load o' crap
22:32: Nashka: Please reconsider Ardelyne
22:32: Razishlyat looks deep in concentration
22:32: Serraglio looks at Lizor..sighs
22:32: Genknife: Lunya I didn't see you offering
22:32: Ardelyne: Citizens of Newland, our Clan friends...our Omni visitors...this is the best path for the city of Newland.
22:32: Nashka: Its not the best interests
22:33: Lunya: offerin what?
22:33: Razishlyat: Ardelyne, you can't expect the more extremist clans to expect you to be Neutral!
22:33: Whispe: Nashka, drop it. For now.
22:33: Lizor catches the glance in her direction and the subsequent sigh
22:33: Razishlyat: What do you think the Sentinels will do in light of this?
22:33: Lavidia: we will expect payment one way or another by the NewLandCity Council
22:33: Ardelyne: It shall be given Lavidia
22:33: Lizor: I sure hope they come wipe out all Omni trace from this city.
22:33: Ardelyne: I have no doubt in Ross's word
22:33: Lizor: At least make Simon have a freaking purpose.
22:33: Nashka scowls at Lizor
22:33: Pyromanche: As I said, The neutra community has some funds raised to help pay for this
22:33: Lizor scowls right back
22:33: Nashka: So OK youll go for JAME
22:34: Pyromanche: *neutral
22:34: Ardelyne: We will gladly accept such efforts Pyromanche, there is much effort to put forth soon.
22:34: Ardelyne: We will need volunteers.
22:34: Ardelyne: This is the beginning of a free Newland, citizens.
22:34: Sibbia: Volunteers?
22:34: Pyromanche: of course, you know how to contact me Ardelyne
22:34: Lunya: But, if citizens were allowed to pay fer their own forms of protection, how would Ross hold on to what little control he has over this 'neutral' city?
22:34: Ardelyne: Rejoice in the possibilities.
22:34: Lunya rolls her eyes
22:34: Lavidia: I will take my leave now we will await for payment
22:34: Lunya: duh
22:34: Sibbia: Please explain this.
22:34: Ardelyne: Good day lady Lavidia
22:35: Whispe: Ma'am, in the spirit of Mr. Ross' offer, I wish to pledge Omni-InternOps assistance in discovering who it was that hacked the Council's bank accounts.
22:35: Razishlyat: Possibilities? Have you considered the possibility of Newland City becoming a warzone?
22:35: Blackswords: I offer my skill to train Newlanders...I like helping people
22:35: Genknife: Who says Ross wants control? He wants peace. In one way or another
22:35: Lavidia: have a good Evening Council Lady Ardelyne
22:35: Chaosgyro: hell, I'll volunteer for a paycheck from Ross' pockets. It's obvious you don't mind Omni folks working here
22:35: Ardelyne: Thank you, Whispe, I shall pass on your offer to the Council.
22:35: Whispe nods
22:35: Nashka: Explain to me Miss Ardelyne has the JAME proposal been accepted?
22:35: Ardelyne: Now I must return to them, there is much to discuss.
22:35: Lizor: Scarily yes, it has been accepted.
22:35: Ardelyne: Yes, Nashka, I think it is clear tonight that we have indeed accepted their proposal.
22:35: Nightprey: He has a Purpose behind his genrous offer, I do not believe it to be a good one
22:35: Ardelyne: Now I must be going
22:36: Ardelyne: Fair day to each of you, be free.
22:36: Nashka: I see logic and reason had failed tonight
22:36: Lunya: OMNI->JAME->Newland City-> Newland Council
22:36: Genknife: You never know. He might care for neutrals too
22:36: Genknife shrugs
22:36: Whispe takes a deep breath, sighs in relief, and starts to walk away
22:36: Lizor: Lets trade one wolf for another, but keep the sheepskin handy...
22:36: Flashwing slams his hands on the wall

Personal opinions aside, we in Omni-Tek answer to one man. And that man has spoken. It is our duty to follow his lead.

Sure, sure, Clanner - go cry to the ICC again. And be sure to use a scanner before going through the whompa to ICC (both provided by Omni-Tek, of course) before you complain. That's what free people do.

You missed my point. I'm quite capable of handling my own affairs without the ICC. I simply pointed out that they wouldn't take kindly to Omni employees mistreating other residents of Rubi-Ka on designate neutral territory. There are plenty of their guards around that would probably like to introduce your boys to some of their weaponry.

We wouldn't want to do anything to make the company look bad, now would we? Especially with Mr. Ross himself keeping such a close eye on things. It'd be a shame if your job position was suddenly...downsized.

[Sundai]

I stand by what I said. Anything that results in free movement for the goatheads is a bad thing.

Mr. Ross said Omni-Tek wasn't involved, that it was a personal act.

22:27: Phillip Ross: As I have said, Omni-Tek has no ties.

after reading comments made by him, such as:

22:26: Phillip Ross: Finding out that the puppetmaster is but a puppet, makes a man change his beliefs.

persuades me to believe that Mr. Ross is a coward and a traitor to the cause.

Mr. Age, he himself articulated that he was only a puppet. I, unlike you, am a servant and do not follow puppets.

If I could get to Mr. Ross, I would gladly cut out the tongue that seems so adept at spewing the poison of treason.

[____________Talonarr]

Hmm...upon reading the transcript one must wonder what Phillip Ross has found out from the Omni employees who have been researching the Shadowlands. While it would be a victory for the man to see the light, I doubt that would change the corporation's ways. They are driven by a higher...or would that be lower...purpose.

[Blackpetal]

I can only hope and pray that Phillip has discovered the truth. If he has, then my struggle may be many times easier...but the demons have a firm grip on Omni-Tek, and it will take more than one man's conversion to truth, even if that man is Phillip Ross, to release my beloved corporation from their infernal hold.

God save Omni-Tek!

-Blackpetal

[Cogs]

An interesting transcript, but a few things catches my eye.
Firstly, the NLCouncil is turning down the R.U.R alternative. Mr. Pyromanche even goes so far as to say they do not want Omnis to run the area......but then...watch his turn, as mr. Ross enters with his funds, both the Council and mr. Pyromanche are happy to accept mr. Ross's personal guard to patrol NLC as mr Ross puts it "while the neutral guard force is being trained"! My goodness......this is in dangerously close to allowing OT to control NLC for who knows how long...and when the time comes, what guarantee do we have that the Ross guard will actually pull out?
Also...mr.Ross states "the puppetmaster finds out he is but a puppet"........is this directed at himself, and if so....whose orders are he acting upon?
hmm....there is more to this than meets the eye.....I fear evil is in the works here.
I sincerely hope my su****ions are misguided, and that I have fallen victim to the fact I was not personally present, and could'nt follow the nuances of the meeting.

[Marisha]

Or, it could be that the recent criticism he received from the Omni-Tek Board of Directors has remind him that despite being the head of the RK division for thirty one years, he is still answerable to the people that employee him to ensure that their business interests are properly managed. Need to remember my reference? September 06, 29476, Omni Prime Steamrolls over Ross, Rubi-Ka Headline Services.

However, simply being reminded that one still has a supervisor is too simple of an explanation. A pseudo-religious mystical conspiracy spanning the dimensions is obviously the answer. It’s all so clear to me now.

Every once in a great while, Ockham's Razor is wrong, Marisha.
