**Rubi-ka under siege: News from the front**

[Neista]

I'm betting that the Unicorns know why.

Exactly, and i'm willing to bet thats what they were afraid Kemylan had found out.

I seem to be the only voice in omni-tek saying it, but Unicorn company are not our friends. Something involving ICC and Omni-prime is going on here and Phillip Ross was spirited away so our proud coporation would be unable to take any kind of effective action. Unicorn company seems to be making all the moves while we sit here and wait for the next attack.

Of course now they have the nanowarfare frigate all cross-planet communications are subject to monitoring/censorship at Unicorn companies discretion....hardly an ideal situation

[Naefen]

I seem to be the only voice in omni-tek saying it, but Unicorn company are not our friends.

An outrage to see a fellow employee state this. I am sure youll feel differently if you reconsider the facts.

First of all Mr.Ross werent "spirited" away. There are absolutely no evidence of this. Therefore the logic choice must be that he went into hiding due to the fact that he would be a primarily target for the invaders. I firmly believe Mr.Ross agreed on the Unicorn presence on this planet.

Secondly I think it is the top of narrow-mindness and ,infact, ill mannered to start throwing acusations at the Unicorns. Atleast at this time. They have restored our communications with off-planet damnit. Nothing but congratulations should be offered. Cant you see theyre fighting theyre asses off for you?

Thirdly I once again must remind everyone about a little thing called mass-hysteria. Had the public found out about the aliens before they did it would have struck RubiKa hard.
And about giving us more time to prepare. Im sure Omni-Prime, the Unicorns and Mr.Ross all know very well that on this planet people are ready to go to war on a seconds notice. Face it, we are always ready for war.

Stop the rubbish about a conflict between Omni-Tek and Omni-Prime. Its all ONE corporation. And against the alien threat EVERYONE works together.
Should we stop working together, believe me, they will impress us sooner or later.

[Neista]

If omni prime and omni-tek are in full agrement then why was an Omni-Prime executive and ICC reporter wandering around Borealis trying to get neutrals to say they were unhappy with Mr.Ross's treatment of them?

Why did Phillip Ross leave without any kind of warning and just leave a holographic message that said very little? I dont recall him saying much about Unicorn Company in that address either

And after the way Unicorn company conducted themselves in the Kemylan Jakos affair i would think no employee of Omni-tek would want to associate with them. Kemylan may have been a clanner but he was a Reporter not a terrorist! Torture and perma-death is not the way to conduct yourself even on the brink of war and i fully intend to see charges pressed against unicorn company for war crimes when this conflict is over.

I am a loyal employee of Omni-Tek and a staunch supporter of Phillip Ross, which is why i am so outraged at the actions of Unicorn Company

[Naefen]

I know your a solid Omni Tek employee Neista and by no means ment to question your allegiance.

If ,like I believe, Mr.Ross left the public view due to the aliens targeting him it would seem even stranger if he made a public statement telling everyone where and when he was leaving.

Kemylan Jakos
I dont claim to know much about this person aside from reading hes half-truth reports from time to time. A theory would be he was undercover working for someone hidden. I am positive the Unicorns had theyre orders after serious considerations. After all, we all know Omni-Prime dont act without having hard evidence infront of them. It is a mystery but Kemlyan could just aswell be the rotten apple as the Unicorns.

That incident with the ICC reporter and the alleged Omni-Prime executive simply seems to "out there" for me to believe.


Are we, the people on Rubi Ka, so selfreliable and protective we cant accept the fact that theres an offworld force witch fight our cause? We should welcome every effort the Unicorns overcomes as a gift.

[Neista]

So, the Unicorns were ordered to torture Kemylan for the sake of it? I was there, I saw the commander breaking his limbs while we were fighting the Unicorn lackeys. That is a war crime whichever way you cut it, he didnt even have the bad excuse that Kemylan was being 'questioned' as the commander made no attempts at all to ask Kemylan, he just went on causing as much damage as he could. Unicorn company are Omni-tek are not on the same wavelength, just look at when Kemylan was first captured, both the Unicorn's and Omni-Pol had orders to secure him, and ended up in a standoff that Kemylan himself broke by agreeing to go with Unicorns after they began making some very ugly threats.

As for the ICC reporter and the Omni Prime Executive, there were plenty of people there to see it, talk to my young friend Shannow, he saw the whole thing and asked the reporter plenty of questions.

Then bang, a few days later Ross is nowhere to be found and the invasion has begun, all we get is a choppy message from him that seems to cut off halfway through, you may well believe Mr.Ross is in hiding, but i think more of him than that. If Phillip Ross were at liberty he would taking command and organizing an effective fightback instead of letting unicorn company take control.

I'm Sorry Naefen, I respect your views but i cant share them

[kranden]

He cant help it. he is a slave of the system. Poor man. And as for omni-prime they consider omni-tek employees on rubi-ka their property and expendable. Id hate to have to live my life like that.

[Keldros]

Secondly I think it is the top of narrow-mindness and ,infact, ill mannered to start throwing acusations at the Unicorns. Atleast at this time. They have restored our communications with off-planet damnit.

If this is true, then why don't we use it to verify that this is all mass hysteria as you claim? If you can communicate with Omni Prime, please do so immediately.
You should be able to reach Mr. Ross, or if not, you will at least get an explanation why he's not available.

[Naefen]

Communications on, to and from Rubi-Ka restored!

In one deft, sweeping move, Unicorn Company forces acting on orders from Omni Prime last week disabled an alien nanowarfare frigate orbiting behind one of the Rubi-Kan moons, then proceeded to board it and completely disassemble its communications jamming devices. This strike restored full communications to Rubi-Ka, which has been in a veritable communications blackout since the alien attacks began over a month ago. Some sources report that Omni Prime is now using the disabled frigate to decrypt alien communications, though information of that nature has been dubbed "Top Secret" by Omni-Tek leadership.[/b]

Its true Mr.Keldros. Pick up the phone

I guess we just wont agree on this one Ms.Neista.

Talking about narrow mindedness Kranden. Your the king of it and theres no use explaining to you for the 100th time about Omni Tek society.

[Neista]

He cant help it. he is a slave of the system. Poor man. And as for omni-prime they consider omni-tek employees on rubi-ka their property and expendable. Id hate to have to live my life like that.

Kranden, just because I dont agree with Naefen doesnt mean i dont respect his opinions. Contrary to what many of you seem to think employees of Omni-tek are allowed to have differences of opinion, otherwise this great corporation would have become stagnant and caved-in long ago.

As to what you say about Omni-Prime, i wish i could disagree but, as personified by Unicorn company they seem to have little care for anyone on RK regardless of faction. You would do well to think about that as its all to easy for liberators to become Conquerors.

Well OF COURSE Omni-Tek employees are allowed to have differences of opinion. But seriously, you need to go visit your Omni-Reform councillor. If you calm down and look at what you are saying, it is clearly nonsensical. The Unicorn Company cannot be a conqueror because they are on our side; they are a part of the Omni-Tek family.

In the months preceding the actual invasion, Omni-Tek was aware of the alien threat and was already taking action to prepare our defenses. This included the Board of Directors sending in specialist units from the homeworld, among them the Unicorn Company. In the course of our preparations we found it necessary to conduct a number of covert special forces missions in Clan inhabited territory.

A clan propogandist named Kemylan Jakos tried to exploit this situation by interfering with our operations, and creating an intricate web of lies in order to whip up hysteria and confusion. Due to the sensitive and extremely critical nature of the Unicorn Company's mission, it was necessary to take him into custody.

However, the damage had been done. Jakos' lies had already taken hold. A number of confused Omni-Tek employees assisted the malicious clan Sentinals in conducting a vicious assault against one of Omni-Tek's facilities in Clon****. Needless to say, this heinous criminal stunt served to act against Omni-Tek's security plans and put the whole world in greater danger from the looming alien menace. It will be remembered as a classic example of how Clan ignorance, combined with employees who foolishly question Omni-Tek's informed policies, inevitably act against the the greater good for us all.

Neista, if you were involved in this villainous crime in any way, then you need to seek out councelling at once. Whatever subversive thoughts led you down this path are unhealthy; like an infectious disease it must be cured.

[Trgeorge]

All hail Commissioner Jacob Stroud, RKDC, the new OT chief represantative of Rubi-Ka!

On a more serius note....aliens are still swarming around us. And although some Tin-Foil Hats have finally been distributed, it looks there was enough for only privilaged (or lucky) ones. It's time that OT finally admits they are unable to control Rubi-Ka. It might be hard thing to do, but it's only fair. Tru history of this planet we seen failed atempts. Aliens are only the tip of an ice berg. It's like planet itself is fighting agains conquest (and let's be fair about it too, it's conquest).

Nowdays some of us call this planet home. Whats more, since we newer experienced luxsury, I'm suer we'll be able to survive current invasion and adopt to whatever else planet decide to trow at us. We're fighting for existance and not profit....and I'm aware this statement might sound ridiculus coming from trader, but it still holds true.

OT isn't one body (and certainly not one soul, that they need to find first). Unicorn-Omni Pol stand-off showed this too clearly. They both gotten their orders and apperantly different bigwigs have different views how to handle situation. We see bickerings among varius on planet departments everyday too.

OT wish to be dictatorship, only lacks the inner strenght to be one. Recent events showed that. They wish to control media, they aren't selfsufficient, but don't like outsiders and clearly they fail to control what they think it's theirs. Only tread they show among all those ambitions is that they don't care about (their) people.

Seems alien invasion is bigger than OT and would they decide to start caring for people (and at least some part of their investment), would be to hand govermenting planet and it's defenses back to ICC.

[kranden]

poor poor omni.... When the Unicorns decide they are though with you. Dont come asking for our help.

[joshuacrime]

Make no mistake. The Aliens are not here for conquest. The Aliens are here for annihilation. Big difference.

Now the Unicorn clowns...they are here for conquest. Big surprise.

[Naefen]

Now the Unicorn clowns...they are here for conquest. Big surprise.

Please look closer at Jacob Stroud`s earlier post and see why that wont happen.

[joshuacrime]

Terribly sorry, Naef old boy, but the Unicorns are a part of Omni as a whole, but certainly not a part of OTRK. Oh, perhaps I should rethink that statement and refine it to say that the Unicorns are going to make themselves a part of OTRK whether anyone likes it or not. That goes for either side of the local conflict. I'm sure you OT's must have gotten a chuckle when the reporter was seized, threatened, kidnapped and murdered. Must do your heart a world of good. Since I don't consider him a "propagandist" of any kind but a decent, honest report that wanted to get the message out, I don't see eye to eye with Jacob's account at all.

His assassination by the Unicorns, if apparently sanctioned and approved as an action by OTRK personnel, is another example of how OTRK is nothing but a scum-sucking, verminious well of decay and defilement. If you associate yourselves with the heinous activities of the Unicorn Company, then you may consider yourselves bathed in that muck as far as I'm concerned. And you wish for peace between our rival factions? What this shows to me is that OT will continue to be the bad egg in our chicken coop, and it wishes to do nothing to even make an attempt at convincing others that it wants a just peace between Clan and Omni-Tek.

If that is the case, and the vast majority of Omni employees cheer at the actions of the Unicorns, then I wouldn't take a piss on the lot of you if you were on fire.

[Naefen]

Yeah lets all just forget that theyre fighting for us all up there in the sky.....
/sarcasm off

[joshuacrime]

By us, you mean Omni, the corporation. Not the citizens of Rubi-Ka. Certainly not me and my fellow Clanners. Nor the Neutral population. I barely think they are fighting for you.

No, what they are fighting for is their cash cow. Plain and simple. Greed wins. I doubt very seriously that this place would have caused a second glance to the boobs in Omni-Prime had it not been for the fact that Notum can only be found naturally occuring here. Humanity, that's not really worth fighting for when it comes to Omni. Nah, what counts is the phat l3wt in your back accounts. That makes them come from all the way across the universe. Jai guru deva!

[Naefen]

Oh please spare me....

You seem confused my dear Joshuacrime. I do mean the citizens of RubiKa. I do mean the clanners and the neutrals. Right alongside the Omni Tek employees.

When the knights fight back an alien onslaught in Avalon, they do it for all of us.
Likewise I see the Unicorns boarding ships and taking them over for all of us.
It is only you, this far, who mix politics and fighting for our lifes against the aliens. Discussions about who fights for whom is obsolete and to say it mildly..... outdated.

The man/woman who kills an alien is at that moment my ally. No matter if you grew up in Tir, Newland or Rome.

I know its hard on some, and they will try all they can to disturb our cooperation. Luckily, a huge percent of the populace on this planet see the fact that we are now forced to work together.

((OH BOY am I glad to see you Joshua ))

[joshuacrime]

Confused? I don't think so.

If the Unicorns were so concerned about life on this planet, they would have been here earlier and insured that this planet was prepared for the assault. They did not. Their actions have nothing to do with their care about the people of Rubi-Ka. Their actions are to insure access to the Source and to notum. They would prefer that they had unfettered access to these, but so far they do not, and that's OK by me. I have no love for a group of murderous sturmtruppen that kill reporters to cover things up. Nor do I care about a group of "soldiers" that threaten to level whole cities to get at one man. No, where I come from, those people would be considered as thugs and terrorists. True soldiers do not harm the innocent if they can at all help it. It happens, and it's such a crime that war should be abolished. But as long as there is greed and avarice within the human heart, there will be those that try to steal what is not theirs to take by force. And there will be those that have to stand and oppose them, or freedom and humanity is forever lost.

At least the Knights ARE fighting for Rubi-Ka. Of that there can be NO doubt. They live here too. Well, Galahad doesn't, but he wound up the balancing factor in the Shadowlands and continues to spend his time there. However, the others drive off the aliens for all of us.

I don't know how you can possibly say that about the Unicorns. They don't even live here. But they want what we have. And, as it turns out, you Omni's seem to love them. Disgusting.

[citadel535]

All citizens of Rubi-Ka can sleep soundly now that Unicorn is watching the skies and new Armed Forces soldiers are on their way to Omni cities.

I knew also that Phillip Ross had never sold us out. He was just a victim as most others were of this alien menace. Omni-Tek will overcome this.
