[b]Makudan Diplomacy[/b] The Earth Alliance has drafted an official treaty agreement for the Makudan, while short, it is clear and states everything the EA has to say on the matter. [quote=Treaty Terms] -The Domaenus Makudan will not be required to assist in wars the Earth Alliance is involved in, but the Earth Alliance will be required to assist in any wars where the Domaenus Makudan are not the aggressors. -Both the Domaenus Makudan and Earth Alliance reserve the right to voluntarily assist the other at any time, unless it is an internal conflict and it is clearly stated that assistance is not welcome. -Shipyards and planets of the Domaenus Makudan and Earth Alliance will be open to the other nation, and both nations reserve the right to request repairs or resupply from either so long as it is A: Required for the ship (If a starship with no life-threatening damage requests a spot in any shipyard, the crew of that shipyard may turn them down) B: Safe for the contacted party to provide (No planet going through a famine is required to give food to a starship, no matter how low their supplies may be) -Both the Domaenus Makudan and Earth Alliance reserve the right to make sure that all international guidelines are upheld between the two nations using whatever means they feel necessary. [/quote] [b]Colony 257[/b] The Abh motions to the sky for a moment, and the other Abh do so as well. The neural impulses controlling such motions send a signal to the leader that they agree with whatever they were about to propose. Shen then speaks for the whole group, aside from the human and Draconian, as interspecies neural transmitting is considered dangerous and is only permitted if the brain structure of the two species is completely identical. "The Abh martial arts style is quite different from the others..." she began, apparently talking about something completely unrelated. "It teaches you to be in harmony with the enemy, thus you do what they least expect. If they lunge at you, step out of the way of their lunge and help them along with a push as they go by. Every move is calculated to use just the right amount of force to achieve what you want, no more, no less. In wartime, we are in harmony with our enemy, we understand them and use that understanding to defeat them. Harmony and understanding, those are the key principles of our combat technique. However, as was once said by a fictional character named Ender 'In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them.... I destroy them'. Though we were created as warriors, we live longing for peace. Not just for us, but for all." "Our definition of peace is different, too" She continued "It is not the state of no fighting, it is the state of no problems. Your people have a problem, and today we vow to solve it. We will take the boy and his family to a safe planet, and you can bet that we will return to help the rest of you. This is a problem that has to be solved not by war, but with help. We have a division devoted to pretty much just helping, in almost every way. The moment we get back, we'll bring them to the colonies with the military, just in case. You gave us the best food you had, since words of our language cannot convey the gratitude we feel towards you for that, we'll give you the best food we have. The EA learned to never deny anyone anything no matter how much it might help yourself long ago, while the humans were still trapped on their planet. They decided to finally help those in developing nations, even though it would drastically lower the quality of living. As a result, human culture was suddenly enlightened with new morals and their technology skyrocketed, all because of the millions of great philosophers and geniuses that lived there. As our saying goes 'never deny the weak what they need, for they are better than the strong'. All we need is the location of this boy and his family, and we'll leave." [b]Kepler Alliance[/b] The Earth Alliance has publicly denounced the Kepler Alliance, saying that they have chosen to ignore history by rejecting the doctrine. The EA has also said that by doing so, the openly invite the horrors of the Common Sense War and Doctrinal Conflict to come back and claim trillions of lives once more. As such, trade embargoes have been put in place between the two nations, and no tourists are allowed to travel between them. [b]EAS [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Anvilicious]Anvilicious[/url], Battlecruiser[/b] The captain walked onto the bridge of the huge starship, and with a loud and hardly subtle voice, declared something that every citizen of the Earth Alliance knows because they are just that awesome. "HEY! WE SHOULD HELP THE THIRD WORLD NATIONS INSTEAD OF HOARDING EVERYTHING! EQUALITY, HELL YEAH!" The rest of the bridge crew joined in on the screaming of random things. "SPACE IS REALLY AWESOME!" "AUTHOR AVATAR NATIONS! WOO!" "I THINK WE SHOULD STOP FIGHTING BECAUSE FIGHTING IS STUPID!" "RACISM AND SEXISM ARE BAD THINGS!" "DID WE MENTION EQUALITY!?" ((Been wanting to do that since I created the EA))
