I got to thinking today...the expansion pack to come is called "the notum wars". And with the current situation in Tir, the DoB and the few other things...i'm thinking that perhaps a storm is brewing. This storm is coming too fast...and i don't think OT or Clan will have enough time to prepare for it. If the mining of notum is threatened in any way, you can bet every last cred you have that OT-prime will act swiftly and without thinking too much.
At the same time, the clans will never tolerate OT personel entering Tir, even if they do it in the interest of 'peace'. The notum wars they call it...it's in the title. No matter what happens, the DoB has succeeded in doing what it wants. Open warfare between OT and Clan...and when both sides are weakened, they will use the opertunity to finish them. Divide and conquer...even thought we've already been divided, this will only widen the rift.
A 4th war wouldn't benefit any side. I personally believe OT would win...but the clans would make them pay for every inch of soil they took. Peace can rarely be obtained through a river of blood. And this is exactly what will happen. Regardless, things will get interesting in the future. Oh, and does anyone else have a feeling that the DoB might be a faction working for another mega corporation that might want to lay claim to Rubi-Ka? They are organized, equiped with highly advanced weaponry, and strike then vanish. Hell, even ICC might have hidden interests in this.
What do you think about the "Notum Wars" title? A warning of things to come? Storms gathering people...get your umbrella's.
