The Consensus apologises, we could not previously respond to your transmission due to high levels of phasic instability within the Omicron 74/Omicron Kappa Jump connexion. We assure the 74 Zoners that this situation is only temporary and will be rectified in a matter of hours. In this time we will have assesed if the security threat is genuine and our fleets have already been placed in a state of readyness. We commend your logic in boosting the signal (of your transmission), please continue to do so....
The Consensus has reached a verdict, based on mutual exchange of resources.
We accept that any invasion fleet led by the aliens known to you as the K’hara is a threat to us all. The apathy they show humanity clearly extends to our own species, and we expect little else but attrition if the they (and any minions they may possess) show hostility towards our worlds. As Toledo attests; the K’hara see all populations, all the collective people’s of Sirius as viable targets, slaying none-combatants with intent. The alarming news that splinter members of the Outcasts have decided to side against the race they is descended from by openly siding with the Daam’Kvosh spawnlings justifies the thought which has lingered within our minds; some humans truly do lack logical reasoning. Any allies of the aliens (infected or not) will be regarded with equal prejudice.
From these reasons alone the Consensus would accompany you in combat. But other factors clearly arise: whilst our current resources are sufficient to combat the wrath of the organics alone, developing a defence force capable of defending Kappa against the full might of the Outcast/nomad affiliates and their deviants in the cartels will be extremely challenging, bordering on the edge of the illogical due to the comparatively underdeveloped status of our military industrial complex, and the huge resource shortages which plague Gammu (doubtless you are aware of them), restricting alloy, H-fuel, copper synthesis, niobium synthesis, nuclear fusion (due to boron shortages), optical chip development. Currently we are running an extended infrastructure development program (including the development of our command centre) which has stretched those resources further, and with the comparative disadvantage that the limited size of our trade fleet presents us, the problem is evident.
Thus, here are our terms. Judging by the danger that this fleet presents to both of us we will accompany you in this war under the following condition:
Re-gearing our infrastructure for a rapid military confrontation (of possibly limitless scope) will result in severe economic damage over the short-term. All supplies currently being transferred to the Consensus Command Centre will need to be diverted into shell (ship) development. You see our quandary.
Thus, if we join you in this war, we request regular base supplies (for both maintenance and development) directed to the Consensus Command Unit in omicron Kappa in geostationary orbit of planet Gammu. In return the O74 group will gain docking permission to the station (being the first none-augmented humans to do so), and we will join you in every skirmish, every battle, every siege which you may find yourselves in. Militarily, we will become your allies. But the base must be supplied in turn.
We appoligise for such a late response and accept your kind offer of a joint alliance.
We will WHEN ABLE in return for your assistant HELP YOU supply your station with what ever goods we can as and when needed...
Signed Zoner-Mow...
P>S.
Just a short note we don't mind helping you with supplys for your base but please note we do also have maintinance/construction and commitments of our own to do also.
In sort we will help you but not to put it to bluntly we don't have time to do all the work for you.
As and when we are able to assist you we will a company your own trade vessels in a JOINT trading and collection
of materials...
Yesterdays our group the Zoner Alliance were doing a vast number of system jumps to obtain many differant base
materials...
You have asked for help in obtaining goods for your station.
Yet when I offered an AI| college of yours if they wanted to tag alone to obtain base materials my offer was declined.
The individual might of just of been busy doing other things.
But just for the record it would of been a great opertunity for the AI to obtain a lot of differant materials very quickly...
I think the Boy_scout is near omicron 74 sys. if you need help try to contact him encryption code is :
