Breaking News - Philip Ross shot!

[Twistshot]

That "scum" as you call him, is probably one of the few restraining forces on this planet when it comes to what to do about the clans. He offered you claners amnisty, and the results of that damaged what he could do after that. He has people who he has to report to and when they say "this will be done" he has very little choice but to do it.

If he dies, do you think Omni-Prime is just going to shrug and say "well he was a problem child for us, lets move on." No, they are going to see that this attack on their company is delt with.

[kuznechik]

Well, I, as devoted Omni-Tek employee, must ask 3 questions:

1. What mr. Ross was planning to say when he was put down? It's possible that news was not welkomed by someone. And not releasing this info makes me suspect hi-lvl omni-tek employees are involved.

2. Why all around talked about AS-ing when there was damage dealt with nano-bots? This, and amount of damage dealt, made a link no Nanotechnicians, and Jobe as forpost of their reseach.

3. Since dealing such amounts of damage require very high level person, was Alice Doroshal's photographer being questioned, cause as all can see on photos - mr.Ross was having grey healthbar for him?

I hope this questions will be answered.
But on Omni-Pol conference yesterday Director Sergeyich leaves it as questions became hot.

[Naefen]

I have to agree with Kuz about it not having to be an aimed shot that hit Mr.Ross.

Just because people said there was a sniper on the roof its not certain it was an agent or something else using a rifle.

[kuznechik]

Well, there was gunshot, we all hear it, but I think it was made to distract and make false leads.

[keyya]

Ross only ended the Tir Accord because it wasnt worth squat anymore. The CoT was gone and Omni where being killed left and right. It was another example of Clan's ending a move for peace by Ross!

You ever read the news? The reason Ross annulled the Tir accord was, because Omni-Tek forces within Clan teritory were being attacked by Clanners.
The reason why Clanners were attacking Omni-Tek forces was because Omni-Tek had illegaly entered clan held teritory.

Don't worry...I'll refresh your memory.

Omni-Pol and Omni-AF forces invaded the Perpetual Wastlands to investigate a crime. Omni-Tek was in violation of Annex 2A - Military Presence and 2B - Police and Investigation.

First...Omni-Tek did not respect every aspect of the agreement or its annexes, and/or did not settle any dispute by diplomatic or peacefull means.

Second...Omni-Tek did not mutually investigate and/or prosecute any violation of the accord and it's annexes.

Third...Omni-Tek issued a military opperation within the Council allocated district.

Fourth...Omni-Tek did not try to jointly investigate any hostile action towards the legally present Omni-Tek personnel by the Council and its affiliated troops and/or by any other troops.

Fifth...Omni-Tek did not consult the Council before issueing "peacekeeping" troops.

Tells you enough about how peacefull Ross is...And how peace triving he tried to be before he himself annulled the Tir accord.
Wether he lives or dies...I have no sympathy. Wether he lives or dies...our war will stand until that so called peaceloving corporation of yours asks for peace.

[Twistshot]

Ah yes, I remember that event from the archives. The area in question was not covered by the treaty, thus Omni did not break anything by going there and infact they told all the claners in that area to co-operate.

[Joliie]

The amnisty was a joke a way to get hopefull clanners out in the open, how often do hear from Happy ex.clanners never, could the reason be there is no left to talk about it.

To many unanswered questions, which are one reason why peace isn't comming anytime soon.

I wouldn't be supprised to see deals with Omni-tek and the aliens.

[Count0]

Bring it on? You can say that after saying you do not advocate war?

What I am trying to say is that if he so wishes to blame us - he can, if he uses this excuse to escalte violence - he can, but he wont win.

(As for the Clan claiming responsibility we have seen before, when bombs go off elsewhere, that lots of people try and claim responsibility)

[Twistshot]

uses it as an excuse?

Punching some one in the face because they looked at you funny is an excuse.
Shooting some one in the back because they kicked your leet is an excuse.

Wanting to hunt down some one who shot you and bring them to justice is justice, not an excuse. Want to avoid anykind of conflict? Find the shooter, the real shooter, and have him all tied up with a bow on him for when Philip Ross gets out of the hospitle

Rubi-Kan map

Ok..I don't know if you can see it...but the Perpetual wastelands is one of the most norther part of Clan held teritory. I can asure you that it is and was council allocated.

They told the clanners in that area to cooperate...That doesn't change squat...

The Tir accord visibly states that Omni-Tek should Jointly investigate any hostile action towards the legally present Omni-Tek personnel by the Council and affiliated troops. Should there be a breach of the aforementioned premises, centralised Omni-Tek peacekeeping troops may be issued after consultation with the Council.

In a press release Henry Radiman spoke briefly with the freedom reporters, stating that the council was informed - but not consulted about Omni-Pols so called police action in Sabulum.

We are getting off-track with this. What I was meaning to point out is that boss Ross isn't the angle some people say he is.

[Twistshot]

Never tried to say he was an angle, and it dosent change the fact that the terrirory was not covered by the Tir accord, what we have been saying is that the clans, even if it was just one lone nut, can probably count the days they have left on one hand if Philip Ross dies.

And still, people cheer and say "Bring it on".

[Arila]

Omni-Pol and Omni-AF forces invaded the Perpetual Wastlands to investigate a crime. Omni-Tek was in violation of Annex 2A - Military Presence and 2B - Police and Investigation.

Well, let me refresh your memory then:

From the Tir accord
Annex 1A: Territorial Division
· Omni-Tek is the superior governing body of the entirety of Rubi-Ka, but will leave to the Council to supervise the areas of Tir, Tir County, Athen, Athen Shire, Aegan, Northern Artery Valley, The Big One, Avalon, Mort, Newland, and Western Endless Plains.

· The remaining terraformed areas on the planet will remain under complete Omni-Tek control and subject to the ICC lease of 28708. - That said, then the Perpetual Wasteland did belong to Omni-Tek, not the clans.

First...Omni-Tek did not respect every aspect of the agreement or its annexes, and/or did not settle any dispute by diplomatic or peacefull means.

Second...Omni-Tek did not mutually investigate and/or prosecute any violation of the accord and it's annexes.

Third...Omni-Tek issued a military opperation within the Council allocated district.

Fourth...Omni-Tek did not try to jointly investigate any hostile action towards the legally present Omni-Tek personnel by the Council and its affiliated troops and/or by any other troops.

Fifth...Omni-Tek did not consult the Council before issueing "peacekeeping" troops.

First: And neither did the clans
Second: Again, neither did the clans
Third: Wrong, Omni-Pol and OTAF soldiers entered an area under Omni-Tek control
Fouth: They had no reason too, it concerned Omni-Tek and not the CoT
Fifth: Omni-Tek area, once again.

And if i may due note, then it was clan afflicted personnel who prevent the investigation, despite Henry Radiman had asked them not too. Just shows you how much control the CoT really had at that time.

Get your facts right before you begin to point fingers, despite me being clan, then Ross does seem like a reasonabl man to me.

[Twistshot]

Thank you Arila for making my point, I am so busy right now I dont have time to look up every little thing i reference to.

[keyya]

You're absolutely right...Can't believe I missed that part.

But if its Omni-Tek controlled land that would mean the people attacking Omni-Tek forces were Omni-Tek employees, subject to Omni-Tek laws and control and would in fact just by being in Omni-Tek allocated district become Omni-Tek bussiness. So I don't understand why they should blame the Council for attacks against Omni-Tek forces within Omni-Tek teritory, control and law. Just states that the Council had nothing to do with it and Henry Radiman pleading the attackers to resolve things peacefully confirms that.

- This agreement is between Omni-Tek and the Council only, and any personnel not affiliated with either Omni-Tek or the Council is considered under Omni-Tek control, and subject to Omni-Tek law.

- Council-affiliated parties will remain in their allocated districts where they are subject Council supervision. The moment they enter Omni-Tek controlled areas, they will be subject to Omni-Tek law and control.

- Omni-Tek and the Council should, Jointly investigate any hostile action towards the legally present Omni-Tek personnel by the Council and affiliated troops. Should there be a breach of the aforementioned premises, centralised Omni-Tek peacekeeping troops may be issued after consultation of the Council.

-Blinks a few times, then a few more times-

I, in full honusty, can not belive what I just heard.

You were almost compelty right, however they were not Omni-Tech personel there, we let the clans come in to that area as, i believe this next part to be true however i may be in error, as a good faith jestor or prehaps due to the difficulties keeping a station there would entail. The people living there were all clan and were sapose to be under the "control" of the CoT, as were the clan forces that attacked.

But we have gotten off topic, despite the good that has come of it, some what.

We need to find that sniper before to many rally to his "cause"

[keyya]

Oh..I should state that I do not rally his cause in any way. I think it was a cowardly act by him. Attacking someone who is not armed is seen to me as an act of weakness.

ps. by the Tir accord, Clans could not live in Omni-Tek controlled area.

On the PS part, that was one of those "understanding" arreas. Untill that event happened. We understood that clans lived there and the ones that lived there understood that it really belonged to us. Or so that was wat we thought.

Good, every claner that dose not aid him will make it easier for us to find him and bring him in for trial.

[keyya]

Yes...and the Omni-Pol investigation is perfect really.
Just the other day Officer Virta was asking every person he met where they were on the time that Phillip Ross was shot. Very good investigation work. *applauds playfully*

[drgrimmy]

while an investagation into ross's death is going on we forgot 1 thing...last time it was omni that tryed to kill him....then he abandon his own people for almost a year...great leadership ross....

now he crash lands in an icc ship and is escorted by clanners...what kind of leader can't even get his own people to defend him...

If it is even his body\

With cloaning technology they were close years ago(see animated series)...they could have made a clone of ross to stage the death.....or a cloan to make the speech that was never herd.....i think we need the DNA results from mrross's body since we have no reclaim records to match his true identity...i'm not convinced it was ross that was shot at all

if the dusters wanted to control the war they would,and have tryed in the past to put people in power postions within all factions

look what possably stageing a leader's death brought out in people...

[Twistshot]

That is typical investigation techniques, find out where everyone claimed to be at the time then see where they really were. Helps find suspects that way. Even I have been asked, and I was not even in the city at the time of the shooting.

Seems I was mistaken about you.
