(OTPC) -- Let's take a walk down memory lane and review the actions affected by the Council of Truth these past two months. Although the notion of clan self-governance is preposterous, it is nevertheless quite entertaining to learn about their most recent chattering.
The Council of Fools held one of their silly little meetings, and once again they kept rambling on about restoring Omni-2 to its former glory. While most of the assembled Clan representatives seemed to be in favor of first removing the damaged and ruined portions of the city, Synergy Factors Nemene "Semirage" Boann came up with another issue concerning Omni-2. According to my sources, Semirage made several remarks about the abysmal state of health care in town. She pointed out that diseases are spreading, mainly due to the bad air and water conditions there.
Let us not forget who brought the city to its current sorry state. It was the very same clanners who have brought the current conditions upon themselves. They want to clean out the city in earnest? Here is my suggestion: Carpet Bombing. That would remove the stench of murderers and thieves and at the same time also clean the water as there would be no clanners left who could step through it with their dirty feet.
If you really want to improve the city, that you yourselves have torn apart, then surrender it back to Omni-Tek.
The next topic discussed was the Dust Brigade. Even though it is beyond doubt to any clear thinking citizen that this bunch of thugs hiding out in the Perpetual Wastelands are nothing but terrorists of the vilest sort, some clans in the Council are actually leaning in favor of them. Admittedly, most clans seem to be against their acts of terrorism. But then again: Who can assure us that this is not yet another publicity stunt? If they really wanted to get rid off the dustbags, why don't they hand over Henri Radiman to the cooperation for questioning? That would be the least they could do after having openly admitted that they themselves lack the military strength to hunt down and defeat the Dust Brigade. Of course, there are the Sentinels. Though one would be foolish to believe that they would lift a finger to help with anything that might benefit others than themselves.
During the discussion, a point was made on how the Dust Brigade may cause a drop in support for the Clans in general. Here is what Commander "Windguaerd" Wagner had to say on the matter:
"This is something we are concerned since every time the Dust Brigade strikes the propaganda labels them clan and we lose galactic support!"
Am I the only one who finds it amusing that he, of all people, should talk about galactic support? The clans don’t have any support. Period. Who supports them?
The last time they got "support" was from Sol Banking who, of course, had their own ulterior motives. "Notum for guns!" was the word of the day back then. Now ask yourself this: If Omni-Tek had been defeated, then who would have been ready to take over the planet? Yes, Sol Banking. Does anyone seriously believe in this nonsense that an inter-galactic hyper corporation would act out of sheer altruism to help some unwashed wannabe freedom fighters? Unlike Omni-Tek, Sol Banking does not care about their losses in a potential conflict. They command one of the largest droid armies in the galaxy. If the Clans really managed to get Omni-Tek off the planet then Sol Banking is ready to step in to take over, and after them, TruSpace network. Not a single Hyper Corporation would openly support the clanners if it was not for their own motives. It does not matter how much support they may or may not have on other planets, because there will always be others who are eager to control the notum flow. If you really want to have a free world then rejoin the Omni-Tek family.
In one of the recent meetings the Council actually possessed the gall to accuse Omni-Tek of invading their territory. Now, this might come as a surprise to our misinformed friends in the north, but there is no area on the planet Rubi Ka that is yours anymore. It was Henri Radiman who saw to that when he ran off and disappeared. It was the very Council itself that canceled the Tir Accord. And that state has not changed by one iota with the formation of a new Council.
Let us not get started on what your very own Clans are doing; attacking peaceful employees of Omni-Tek who want nothing else but do their job in the Notum fields. If you really want concessions to do your own mining, then come and rejoin Omni-Tek!
To sum things up, let us take a look at what the Council had in store for the latest meeting held on August 31st.
#1 A discussion about billboards in Omni 2 and Tir advertising the Council of Truth.
Billboards? That is certainly a subject worth talking about. I guess a few posters and fliers are more important than peace.
#2 A discussion about drafting more guards for the CoT tower area or wether the tower's current security system is sufficient.
Fuel the arms race! More guards to be on standby for another attack on Omni-Tek.
#3 Vote: Should the CoT offer verbal support for attacks on Omni mining installations in the northern sectors of Rubi Ka?
This is where the Council reveals its true motives that are lurking behind that phony mask of benevolence. They openly claim to seek peace and yet they are supporting acts of war? They claim that it the issue involves only "their" northern territories.
As they stated themselves, the Tir Accord is dead. There is no demarcation line anymore, they have no rightful claim to any territories to call their own anymore. So what is this verbal support they offer for attacks on Omni-Tek property then but a feeble attempt to hide the fact that they are just looking for a way to bloody their mercenary forces? And what will happen should they actually succeed to wrest the mining installations in the northern territories away from their rightful owners? What will be next? 2hO Outpost? 3hO Outpost? Omni-Med? Omni-1? Rome?
It is in fact getting harder and harder to make out how the Council can continue to claim that they are not seeking war, when all the signs are pointing in the opposite direction. The majority of the Council supported the vote, it seems to me that there are only very few left who really want peace.
There will be bloodshed and the so-called Notum War will likely escalate into a full-blown war. The Council should be very well aware that the corporation will not be sitting by idly when the Clans attack its property. Retaliation will be swift and deadly. This time not coming from the office of Chairman Ross, though. Sadly, he has proven his unwillingness to step up and his incompetence to handle the matter times and again. No, I am speaking of the myriad employees who make up the company. Who will once again, and have always done so, save the corporation from its own mistakes. It will be them once more, not Omni Pol or the likes who choose to hide out in bars in Omni Entertainment, who will defend the corporations interests. I believe it is time that every loyal Omni Tek employee should take up arms to be ready for war, since there seems to be no way to prevent it anymore.
A plea to Boss Ross: Do something. Take a walk, give an interview, jump out of the window, anything. Just do something to let us know that you are actually still there and that you care for this company. We need to know that the CEO is there for us to provide leadership in times of need. Because if you are not, you might one day wake up to find out that there are no more employees who are willing to follow you.
