Does this mean we can send the galaxy memes full of obscure middle ages sexual inuendos while telling them, to KYS kindly? Because if so everyone is doomedabout to be enlightened.
Thoral left her nutrient post,
It was sleep she wanted the most.
Following good job protocol,
Fulfilling her Adnori role,
She left on an Adnori stroll,
And wearing a furred camisole,
Rested a tired Adnori soul.
Down a great spiral Thoral dreamed,
Floating down a river it seemed,
She encountered a tall blue door,
Built from trees never seen before,
With the gentle turn of a key,
The door swung open, but look! See!
What madness clung to this new room,
What trumpeting flamed revelry!
What odd and bare-skinned mammal fiends,
Whose nightmare have I stumbled in?
Whose fevered mind did this hell bring?
This cacophony demons sing!
Electricity through her skin,
The fiends invited her within:
'You may not know us now but will,
For humans remain friendly still,
Worry not whether we're mad as sin,
For you see fluffy Adnor friend,
It is not our minds who made this,
But it is your mind we're within.'
Quick check here: We've given our sapient robotic friends (whose brains have been designed so that they view work as something pleasurable rather than boring or tedious, of course) full-citizenship rights, right?
Nah, the synths have no rights. The spiritualist faction popped instead of the materialist one because we're psionics now, as a result Earth has discovered synths have no souls and so do not deserve rights, with synth rights and intelligence actually being dangerous to true soulful lifeforms.
How big is the Belmascoan nation and their network of vassals now? They've recently been making quite a few friends, it seems. Doesn't it cost influence for them to keep other nations as vassals?
You gain influence for having protectorates, which then get turned into regular vassals after they close the tech gap. After that the Belmacosans integrate them into the Belmacosan Republic and start the process anew, making protectorates of the states which are on their now-expanded borders.
2363:09:17: The terrafriending of Mars begins, the original plans for the Second Utopia finally see realistic chances of completion in the future. The whole project requires inordinate sums of cash to be completed, which is raised by selling considerable quantities of advanced goods to the Belmacosans at competitive prices. The Belmacosans had a surplus of energy credits, we a surplus of materiel, the arrangement suited us both splendidly.
2364:01:15: The Ayy Lmao Earth Defence Force are reinforced with a four year plan to raise four psionic commando corps alongside them.
The Mandasura Berserkers go to war with the Hiffnar lion-people of the Hiffnar Combine. The Hiffnar had weaker weapons and defence technologies, less-trained admirals and less planets, thus the outcome seemed apparent from the start.
The Hiffnar lose to the Mandasurans, many of their planets falling under the leafy boots of the dreaded berserkers. Every single Hiffnar in all of their planets are eradicated in 2 years.
All except one planet called Vord-Ka-Torb, hidden in the Yothmore Shroud. On this planet
a single Hiffnar pop escaped destruction at the hands of the Mandasuran berserkers.
We send the Hiffnar remnant regular food shipments and 400 minerals to revive their species from the brink of extinction. The Hiffnar, previously considering us as enemies, now realize we truly mean to be friends. Also of note is that the Hiffnar evolved to live upon deserts and were now stuck on a glacier world... They needed all the help they could get.
2368:12:04: The Mandasuran Berserkers go to war with the Panaxala Principality. On this infamous day, the Belmacosans threatened Earth with war.
The Belmacosans it seems, had become drunk off of their increasing power as first amongst equals. Annexing star Empire after star Empire, they looked to Earth - that nation who gave them so much, as a tributary to be incorporated. We made it clear enough that utopia was not a matter of compromise, utopia was absolute, and thus we would rather war than submit.
They respected their old friend, and had the good sense knocked back into them, to respect their own values. The psychological impact however, of being threatened by our greatest ally, would be immeasurable for aeons to come.
2369:07:20: Genemixers embark upon a UN project to genetically engineer all Earthling humans into becoming incredibly physically resilient beings, to parallel our increasing resilience of the mind.
The Adnoran War Machine reawakens.
2370:02:22: Against all odds, President Qiang Shen emerges from the background of failed politics to win the UN Presidential Election, hailing the greatest political comeback ever seen in human history, in an inspirational effort that would make Hercules hesitate.
Exactly one month after election, President Qiang Shen dies at age 100, but lives on forever as a legend.
2370:05:09: With no President, the Adnorans smell weakness and demand Earth's submission. The Adnorans are politely requested to wait until after the mourning period is over to talk politics.
2370:06:03: The Belmacosa Republic declares war upon the Mandasuran Berserkers. As they possess no clear access to one another by hyperlane, it is largely a cold war with no combat taking place.
2370:06:20: President Antonella Riveros is elected President of Earth.
