[b]Response Message to [u]Consul and Commander in Cheif Voltus Ventus[/u] by [u]Richard Fortress[/b], on behalf of the HSN High Council:[/b] You offer a one-sided deal, Ventus. You suggest the gift of using, containing, and creating antimatter, a powerful and destructive force, in return for a building on our planet at which to carry out diplomatic duties? Very well. It is a deal, however, we will be keeping a very close eye. We will not allow, of course, foreign tampering with the Hessian power grid, as we are sure you understand. Another thing is that you will submit to thorough search upon entering Hessian space. For now, shipping of contained antimatter outside of a ship's fuel supply is forbidden. Any who attempt to smuggle antimatter or another dangerous weapon or substance will be detained, as well as all possible associates. [b]Public Response to the Non-violent protests against the HSN's purchase of the [u]Horus debris field[/u][/b] With the new protests rising up to parade outside of government facilities and occasionally a HSN private government spaceport, the police gave them two days to disperse, setting up a Hessian Police Mobile HQ and various other mobile types around the area. If protesters did not disperse, police Enforcers were dispatched to forcefully disperse. Only three protests required the Enforcers' to forcefully disperse, and none of them reacted violently. Only an estimated 20 people reacted violently to the Enforcers' presence, and were arrested and detained for attempted assault. [b]Messaged Request to the UUN, Collaboration Message from the HSN High Council[/b] Greetings, Columbus Policers. The HSN has another request regarding the Horus Debris field. Because of our limited connection with outside nations, besides from trade, we request that you act on our behalf to gain energy shielding against the radiation that permeates the Horus Debris Field. Should the UUN assist us in this matter, we can agree upon a percentage of the income from the debris field to be given to the UUN, so that fuel costs can be cut with Columbus-provided Bycorium, without the expensive prices. We hope for a reply soon, and wish for an agreement to come between us so that we may begin collecting the large amounts of free-standing Bycorium crystals in the Horus sector. --The HSN High Council.
