I am presenting this diplomatic proposal to all Gallic peoples and groups but particularly to those in service of His Majesty the King and to those in leadership within the Gallic Council. A proposal that centers on an issue affecting all Gallic citizens and transcends to a great degree political differences and interests amongst you.
As you are aware from your surveillances of outer Sirius, the Nomads wrecked havoc and nearly tumbled the house governments. Like Gallia, Kusari had its own Monarch, Tekagi. He was covertly subverted by an alien infestation and nearly destroyed the entire house of Kusari. In a like manner, the Chancellor of Rheinland--a proud state priding itself on obedience, strength and order--also was taken. As a consequence, Liberty nearly fell as well and many of its government were taken.
In one fell swoop, these entire houses and all their military might were taken and turned on the rest of Sirius...and indeed, even on their own subjects. This same fate could befall Gallia in the right circumstances. Our enemies, the Nomads and their proxies, the Wild, would then control the full might of Gallia and turn it to the destruction of both the Monarchy and Council--indeed, of all life in Gallia.
As I have already made known to the Monarchy, Council and a few other groups in Gallia, I am constructing the largest dedicated research facility for detecting and combating the Wild in Sirius. The Wild are a particular risk because they possess the means to walk amongst us as human. I intend to share all biological and psychological research regarding these creatures and how to defeat them and perhaps one day cure those infected by their taint.
The houses of outer Sirius live consumed by their own state of affairs. The Bretonian war with Kusari, the Rheinland conflict with Liberty and the never ending struggle for power between Corsairs, the Outcasts and Bounty Hunters. Sadly, the Order has become more consumed with the development of military power and less concerned with truly focusing on defeating the common enemy of all mankind. They are content to merely fight the Hunters and occasional packs of Nomad fighters and to stop shipping and destroy "contaminated Nomad remains". Form over function. They have greatly drifted from real resistance and no longer provide a sure guarantee of any sort of safety for all. The current conflicts coincide with an increase in Wild and Nomad activity. Tekagi's old stronghold is retaken and a new breed of Kusari infected are seen now and the old rumours that President Powell and the Chancellor were Nomad proxies has never been disproven.
Gallia remains the last, best hope of Sirius to resist the Nomads.
To this end, I propose to relocate the barge to gallia where I will oversee its administration and governance. In order to do this, I need assurances of its protection. It is not enough to say, "the Council will protect it" or the "Monarchy will". Both sides must agree or there is no safety for it. Research will center on physical vectors of the Wild and Nomads and how to interrupt them; medical interventions, technological applications, etc. Research also will center on the psychology and physiology of the Wild and how to use it against them. Finally, psychic studies will be performed. How to interrupt and block their "mind share" that seems to emanate and network from a powerful energy source in Omicron Iota. No weapons research will be done regarding Nomad technologies. This is the purvey of the Order perhaps and houses as they see fit. My research treats the Nomad-Wild as an infection and looks for containment and a cure. that we will share. So no one will derive an advantage militarily from this research and all will benefit from it.
To this end, I seek an accord. Will Royalist and Council forces agree to the neutral status of this research if it is moved to Gallia and provide jointly for its defense? All parties must agree or it will remain in its current location. I have already contacted Junker leaders and they all are willing to support and defend this installation as well--in fact, they may serve as go-betweens between Council and Royal parties helping even beyond the Wild-Nomad issue.
I await your replies esteemed, Mesdames and Messieurs...please respond here.
