    We are highly interested in a deal on energy trade. We hear you have effficient policies on those, but perhaps we can provide some relief through our geothermal sources and lessen the strain of limited resources upon your economy. In exchange we would welcome an aid pact agains china should they turn hostile to us and of course would be happy to receive technological data and limited trade by opening up three trading ports to you.

    Intelligence agents are to intimitdate the local ruling elite into accepting, or else several rebel groups might find unexpected funding in their quest for a less corupt system. In addition there is a push for more humanitarian corruption breaking reforms (Yes, SEATS means well...they just don't know how to show it)

    Pandora

    Will Rowe looks over the news reports on his desks and tsks. He then sends a message to Solaris.

    Spoiler
    Show
    Pandora would be honored to help Solaris with any technology. For a decent price of course. What do you require, and what are you willing to offer for it? Oh, and before we start any negotiations, Pandora requires Solaris to publically recognize us as a sovereign state.


    Russia; The World

    Pandora declares it's sorrow towards the death of Tsar Kurd, and we pledge that Pandora shall aid Russia in any way it can during these dark days.

    Show

    We refuse. The NRE's ethics, namely that of oppression and stagnation of knowledge, in the name of "Imperial Rule", conflict with Pandora's own ethics. We cannot, in good conscience, work with you. Look for another toadie. Good day, Umberto.


    LUSA
    Will Rowe extends an invitation to Vicente Ramirez, leader of LUSA, to visit the Pandorian Embassy for private talks.

    WORLD
    Will Rowe also publically requests for Finland to join the Pandora Technocracy, stating that Finland would not be annexed, but simply become a member state of the Technocracy, with immense technological and military benefits, as well as having the pledged support of Pandora in any significant endeavor they might pursue.




    PRESSING ANNOUCEMENT TO THE ENTIRE WORLD

    After being tight-lipped for several months, Pandora announces a new breakthrough in science.

    Will Rowe had this to say in a public press conference about the breakthrough:

    "For countless millennia, man has done things according to his physical abilities, even with the help of tools. A back to carry supplies, a hand to clench a dagger or gun trigger. He has needed these to go throughout life.

    Similarly, for countless ages, man has not understood the very thing that makes him better then a mere animal: His brain. He has not unlocked the full potential of a mind. He has been nearly blind towards the might of the precious treasure within his skull. Well, no longer. We here in Pandora are proud to announce that we have achieved a breakthrough. We have unlocked the full power of the mind. Ladies and Gentlemen, we have discovered Psionics!

    No longer does a cripple or amputee rely on a wheelchair, now, he can use the very power of his mind to walk! No longer does a liemongerer or con-man deceive thousands, and lead them into destroying their own minds, now, they can simply know what he is thinking, and see through his lies! No longer is a worker unable to get that one last sip of water, because his hands are full! Now, he can use 'telekinesis' to lift the water mentally to his lips!

    Now, is the future! Now is Psionics!



    Episonage (secret)
    Spoiler
    Show

    Will Rowe establishes a secret episonage unit imbued with the new creation of Psionics, having the scientists that discovered Psionics teach them, as well as several Pandorian military commanders noted for unorthodox methods. He calls them The Order of the Mind.

    Also, Pandorian espionage experts attempt to both drive out Gladio members in Europe, especially by way of stopping Gladio propaganda, and also uncover anti-UNE citizens in UNE owned areas.


    Millitary (secret)
    Spoiler
    Show
    Will Rowe also establishes a secret millitary unit imbued with Psionics, this time called unit 107. The same commanders and scientists teach this unit as well.

    Pandorian scientists secretly begin work on a Psionic bomb, a physically harmless explosive that instead provides those in it's radius with various mental disorders if not driving them into insanity or a coma.

    President Han,

    We would be honored to attend this convention. One of our top diplomatic representatives, as well as a leading figure in robotics, Dr. Leopold Svenson will attend. We are sorry we cannot send Will Rowe, our official leader, as he has prior planned business.

    Personal Response of Jacob Vaughn to SEATS

    I must admit I was surprised by your response. Not only that, I was insulted. You questions the very set up of the SGA but turn a blind eye to the force through which you gained the protectorates of New Zealand and other islands.
    You question the morals of the SGA in comparison to your own. I would ask how exactly I have not lived up to them? By not hiding behind borders and defense and instead going out into the world to give aid? Is that the morality you espouse as a shining beacon of? I have done everything I considered right to bring charity to others. I have set about the reclamation of desolate lands and provided shelter to those in need. The peoples of SGA may not have the technologies of your nations but they are just as happy. And even caring for them I have sent out more relief efforts across the world.
    Mine is not a crafted image of morals that sit back and watch the world from an ivory tower while it suffers around them. Mine is the morality of action.
    I ask you, how can I trust your intentions when you have never proven them? Or is trust beyond the light of your shining beacon as well?
    Now that I have that off my chest I will get on with the diplomatic efforts. I will allow your “inspectors” to come. They will of course find the region in slight disrepair. It was why I was asking for aid in the first place. But since trust seems to be an issue, they will be searched upon arrival.

    South African relief efforts

    Spoiler
    Show

    SGA will counter certain efforts made by SEATS. Specifically it will foil any assassination attempts. Efforts to make puppet states will also be made difficult. However, if the leader is thought to be of more independent mindset SGA agents will help their rise to power. From there they will not discourage treaties and trade with SEATS but will hinder proposals that go towards making the leader little more than a figure head.
    In addition native groups will be set up to waylay exported resources heading to the Pacific. Most of these will be discretely redistributed to the local government, though some will go back to funding raids and humanitarian efforts.

    We prefer not to be thought as foreigners. The SGA is made of humanitarians and is not bound by nationality. If you feel field work to be to invasive, we can simply offer our help in an advisory position. As said, we have experience in matters such as what you are dealing with and accepting our help would likely improve your the attitude of the people and that of the world in general.
    If you still wish to decline, the SGA will not push the matter further. We merely wished to aid where we could. But if you feel there is no need, we will respect your decision.
    We will allow the SGA to send a small advisory committee to Rome to work with our planners.

    The development of psionics is troubling. Not only the moral implications of mind reading and potentially mind control but for the safety of SGA agents. The discovery of plans for the mind bomb are even more cause for concern. But with a lack of understanding about the abilities available and who has them the SGA doesn't want to send its own agents. Using elaborate middle men, other methods, and doing their best not to leave a "mental" trail as they understand it, the SGA hires out mercenary spies to attempt to obtain research about the new great leap in science.

    The advisors make notes during integration of who they consider for extraction. Knowing they are being watched they make sure to be extra careful. Ideally they will not actually have to contact the SGA with covert information until after the intergration is complete. If a subject is thought to be in deadly danger the advisors will take a risk and begin extraction sooner than planned. Once information is relayed, and depending on urgency, plans begin to be made to evacuate those choosen through an "underground railroad".

    This is Hillary Parks reporting from High Deli in the mountains of former Nepal in one of the few places still untouched by the prevalent radaition of the surrounding subcontinent. Though even here high southerly winds can bring in particles and force residents in sealed home. Today marks the historic arrival of a group of Pandoran scientist to the Government of Aid. The Pandorans, sometimes described as amoral, are here to help with the reclamation effort started years ago.
    They are here to help those who have helped so many. You can see them stepping out of the helicoptors now. Rachel Welsh, aid to Jacob Vaughn, is here to welcome them. She's embracing them and crying. This is a huge step towards the goal of a purified India.

    Excerpt taken from the Global News Network economic report:

    In the past week, economists speculate that the Liberated Union of South America has poured over 2.3 trillion USD into building projects all over South America, including hospitals, roadways, and schools in some of the most unprivileged areas on that particular continent. This is most likely due to the recent economic windfall that they received after their controversial attack on Argentina a few weeks ago. Whether or not this has to do with pressure from the terrorist faction known as 'The Sons of Liberty' is yet unknown, however it would not be an unsafe belief.

    End of turn 3

    President Han's speech increases the nationalist feelings in the Swiss. The Swiss Council defeats the the proposed Unification Bill, and within minutes the streets of Zürich are red with blood. Several Swiss generals stage a bloody coop and pro-unification mobs take to the street. NAC and loyalist troops are pushed further and further back into the embassy district. Bloody street to street conflict continues.

    Around the world conservative priests and pastor speak out against Pandora and Psionics. Many accuse Pandora of playing God and some even go so far as to call it witchcraft. Prominent theologians debate the moral problems presented by both mind reading and mind control.

    Elsewhere in Europe cell after cell of pro-empire groups are discovered and dismantled. Pandora's Psionic agents deliver hundreds of cells to NAC and UNE authorities. Very few cells remain, but those that do have learned a great deal of anti-psionic tactics.

    Major building projects in South America have many LUSAins flocking to the streets praising Los Ecos. Some pundits speculate that these building projects have done more to combat insurgency than any armed conflict could have. The Sons of Liberty in particular lose much of their popular support.

    Premier Ortiz of LUSA was assassinated while on an aid mission to Cuba. LUSAn officials blame Presidaent Han's secretive special elite for the murder.

    Many world leaders gather in Moscow to pay respects to Tsar Kurd, and the new Tsar Gern. The world watches as Pope Julius prepares to give a sermon that may be the most important sermon since the prayer for the dead after the Pakistan/India nuclear exchange.

    President Shona Han calls for a private one on one conference of visi-phone with the SEATS chairman, encrypted of course.

    Spoiler
    Show
    SEATS officials, I would like to make it very clear that I will accept any and all aid from nations that seem to be truly willing to help. That being said, you mentioned Geo-Thermal energy, I'm not exactly sure how you would provide that to me unless pehaps, you could help us set up a plant of our own...where would you suggest. Somewhere remote...

    President Han


    Shona Han called for a meeting with Vincent Ramirez. Suprisingly for her he agreed, albeit relatively secretly. They meet once again in the same NAC embassy.

    "Ramirez, I see what you have been doing with your country...demilitarizing and helping with your infrastructure. Be careful you may almost be considered a decent person."


    She smiles thoughtfully and sits down at her desk, offering the man a seat "Let me be frank, as we always have been in the past. I think it is in our best interest that American's unite. Not in any formal way, like merging the governments, no I say that we sign this"

    She pulls out a sheet of paper "This is the proposed M.A.D.A., or the Mutual American Defense Alliance. We can get so much stronger in this world if this entire continent began working together instead of fighting like rabid wolves at each others throats. Think of it, all this pact says is that we have open trade, we share some policy, and We defend each others holdings."

    She then sighs and looks out the window "We can do great things... Not a force in the world could stop us if we pooled our resources...or at least stopped fighting each other"

    She holds out her hand "Deal Ramirez?"
    She's Shona Han. Disappearing for a hundred years just means she's had a hundred years to plan. Trying to find out what happened to her is just going to draw her attention.

    Then it's a good thing Greystone can KICK REASON TO THE CURB AND GO BEYOND THE IMPOSSIBLE!

    Breaking story today, as Pope Julian was finishing the eulogy for the late Tsar, a sniper in one of the nearby windows shot him in the head. As the Swiss guard detail, Russian poilice, and Secret service, rushed to the building, the man began firing wildly. apparently he was killed in the firefight. Although we are not allowed to record the mans name, friends and family say that he was quite a faithful churchgoer. Several prominent people in both the church and scientific communities say that this may be the work of mind control from the newly discovered "psionics". Many priests are now calling psionics "evil" and "witchcraft". A few riots have broken out in Rome and other major cities against psioncs and Pandora

    Vicente Ramirez, a generally level-headed and calm individual can not hide his rage at President Han's idea.

    "You...wish to accord peace with us. Let me see if I understand your proposal. You sue for peace after one of our heads of states is liquidated on YOUR soil, presumably by YOUR special forces? How do you think that Sra. Ortiz will take that new? And you think that we would simply comply? Perhaps I gave you a bit more credit than you frankly deserve."

    He motions for his guards to leave, and Han does the same. They are now alone.

    Captain Fields, commander of NAC military peace keeping forces in Switzerland popped out of cover and fired a quick burst and three union soldiers fall, shaking as the pacifier paralyses them.

    "Pull back! Cover the Civilians!" he yelled, then he turned to a neaby private "Get on the horn to General Finate, we need backup!"

    Elsewhere General Kim Finate, slammed her fist down on the table. Her aides jumped in suprise...she was usually a very soft spoken cheerful woman.

    "Ok people, get the emergency task force ready, we need to get to Switzerland yesterday!'

    The office suddenly burst into movement. Finate sighed and called her special number...time to call in the Supreme Elite.

    Within two hours the Emergency task force, Over 6,500 men plus 450 Supreme Elite were on their way to Switzerland.

    Withein three they engaged the enemy. Colonel Garett of the Supreme Elite led a suprise attack on the General's HQ while General Finate led her troops to distract their forces and draw them away from the Embassy sector.

    Colonel Garett found and captured and/or eliminated all the Generals with the loss of thirteen men. As the revolutionaries found the head of the snake had been cut off they began to lose hope and General Finate ended their threat. She attempted to capture as many as possible, but it was a complete NAC victory. Half of the task force is assigned to protect the Swiss government.

    Hopefully it will be enough...
    She's Shona Han. Disappearing for a hundred years just means she's had a hundred years to plan. Trying to find out what happened to her is just going to draw her attention.

    Then it's a good thing Greystone can KICK REASON TO THE CURB AND GO BEYOND THE IMPOSSIBLE!

    OOC: Jesus mary and joeseph. Teach me to leave my internet for a day. Pm me if I forgot to responde to you. I need the sparknotes version to process.

    @NAC
    Jamina El Tayib, a famous orator and multilingual genius delevers an address to the nation, broadcasted anywhere that could be, but directed at the NAC. The speech is delivered in a multitude of launguages ranging from Swahili to Arabic, subtitles provided, much of it is mudane reporting of events or normal praise for industrious people or industries. Finally a segment is delivered in perfect english.

    The Alliance of Solaris regets the the NAC thinks that the corrupt and incompetent Nigerian government in exile warrents regonition as a legitimate body. We will back down, this once, if we are given captured supplies and captives back. We will reciprocate, and expect further trading concessions from the newly replaced 'government.' First among them, that no nonafrican corperation or company be given lease to drill, and that all leases already nullified de facto be so de jure. This means you China, and you, former American corperations. This is a warning. No longer can Africa sustain foreign domination or incompetent leadership. That specter has haunted us since the Punic Wars and on down the ages. We now have an opportunity. An opportunity to fufil the promise of Carthage and Mali, of the Zulu and the Ethiopians, of Egypt and New Kenyan Republic. And we can not and will not allow this to be stuffed out by more predatory, parasitic slave trading and imperialism. No More, Never Agian. This is our Monroe Doctrine, do not tempt us. Talk, negotiate. We're flex on everything. Everything but this. Stay out!

    Why, you're as legitimate as we are! How could that not be clear? We simply assumed because we had recieved no formal dignitaries that this courier could fill all needed roles. Here, we'll have to get him a promotion. Allah knows he's qualified to be an ambassador, but we just figuered when in Rome. Speaking of which, they and some other people have been to nosy. Surely you fellows know how to lock down a lab, eh? Care to send an antiespionage unit down with you're other things. Just put it on the tab. You think we should help the Pope on his way to the stars?

    As for what needs to be reasearched, well, solar's only drawback is battery life, if we can couple breakthroughs in panals and batteries in one go, we can breack the power of any nation to reliant on oil. Then we make it impossible to reverse engineer. As to payment, what do you ask? We'll bankroll any two projects you desire for then above treatments. Or any other prise, neh?


    We are shocked that our kindred sprits in the SEATS veiw our expantions as neofascism. We've made our motivations clear before. Condem the LUSAians, it took terrorist attacks before they noticed that 'the people' they profess to protect were starving.

    As for the new altruists, we welcome your misguided attempts to help us. We much prefer you spend your time with people who need it. Ours is at last and once again a free and prosperous nation, and we belive that power weilded justly by just hands is the first step in ridding the world of the need for power. We shall demilitarize our nation and industries when we feel safe. Speaking of which, is rewarding bad governace really a good idea? Make sure the LUSAians know where they're aid really comes from.

    The Army of the Alliance makes a hasty withdrawal from Nigeria, and heads north. Naval power is increased in the Med, and airpower too. Contigency plans for war, defensive and premptive, with all nations drawn up and considered. Esp. European contries and the NAC, LUSA. Couterespionage ramps up.
    Secret contact is made with the Pope by proxy (so he wont know Solaris is talking to him, just someone immportant.) Perhaps he might wish to condem the actions of those Godless communists in Argentina. So sad to see so many Catholics under atheist rule. Perhaps if this happens a considerably donation can be made to the Church coffers viz a vee, a space program.

    Scrap Popery stuff until the Cardinals get it together.

    Message to the Union of New Zululand and the Republic of South Africa, and all other African nations in general.

    It seems every continent is getting very clubby these days Europe even has two. I say it is high time that the defunct African Union be scraped in favor of a new agreement. Mutual protection, favorable trade, mutual aid those sorts of things. We'll let the diplomatic corps take it from there.

    [Broadly favorable concessions are to be given if needed. Nations joining will retain almost full autonomy. Solaris will retain the right to veto any natioon whose government is too corrupt, but those labled 'willing but unable' to govern properly will be given all sorts of help. Many hints are dropped about slavery, the horrers of the colonial rule, wikipedia the rubber plantations in Belgian Congo for a good idea, apartied etc. The name is left up to the GM, um... I mean the other nations.]

    To the nations of Iraq and Iran.

    The oil trade is getting sloppy. Do you remember profits under the old OPEC agreement? We say it is high time to open a new Middle Eastern Oil Exportation Pact. What say you?

    [purely economic coalition is offered.]

    A sizable cohort of Solaris Alliance soldiers are airlifted into Switzerland, at all times blaring good interntions and diplomatic immunity as they cross airspace.

    If allowed they touch down in the embassy area and begin protecting/evacuating all civilians that wish to leave, not just the Solaris Alliance members. Step are taking to attempt nonlethal force over lethal at all points possible.

    With the excpetion of Nigeria, who is protected by NAC under the World Defense Pact, and South Africa, who seems to be experiencing some sort of internal struggle, the nations of Africa join Solaris. However several nationalist disident groups form, they manage to slow integration to a crawl.

    The Iranian Republic and the Council Of Greater Iran are willing to listen to your proposal but are wary of ulterior motives.

Taking what they learned from surviving in the field they develop a course of study for all new and current agents to train in to help eliminate the effects of psionics on field agents.

    Scouts are sent throughout the Empire to find and recruit those gifted in psionic abilities to create a force of the Emperor's own psionic agents.

    Colonel Garett spys the covert convoy of Roman agents with their shipment of goods and weapons. Dressed as Swiss Soldiers the Supreme Elite launch an attack on the suppliers and the buyers, once again capturing or eliminating everybody present.

    He sighed, General Finate had foreseen this, it was true they were stopping the majority of shipments..but every one that got through gave more hope to the rebels.

    The country was in governmental lockdown for their own safety. The NAC were protecting all non-violent civilians to the best of their ability.

    Official Call for Aid:
    WDP Countries, the country of Switzerland needs your help! By sending soldiers, supplies, and aid we can stop the violence and bloodshed!

    Peace Corps are sent to Nigeria to help rebuild its damaged economy and infra-structure, though most troops are pulled out and either head home or are sent to Europe.

    You will be able to start anti-psionic training immediately, but getting you own psionics is going to be substantially harder. Psionic potential can only be tapped through artificial means, and the only one to have that tech is Pandora. Don't worry to much a liberal application of tin foil will make sure you aren't caught off guard again.

    Autonomy is encouraged, and dissidents are free to protest. So long as no violent actions are taken, or overseas involvment detected. Then the host country is politely encouraged to drop the hammmer. And not in the 'polite with a big gun pointed' way. If we're going to do that, we'll at least be frank about it.

    To the Middle Eastern oil producers nothing is offered but a little mutual price gouging, ala OPEC, to show mutual friendship and understanding.

    China can join if it likes, but it'll have to cut a few ties with LUSA and make a few overtures to the NAC.

    An open message to the UNE, NAC, Aid, SEATS, Pandora:
    I fear this Swiss situation is spiralling out of control. Our diplomats may be safe for now, but the nation itself is not. Would a multinational, perhap under... Aid? Should step in. We would gladly submit a troop of peacekeepers.

    The situation in South Africa is pried into further. Solaris agents are wary of foriegn influences at this point. As much is said to the world at large.
