"Each Nation is bound by the same treaty, and no nation within the Pact would accept another nation within it be bound by different rules. We will not modify the treaty so it perfectly suits the needs of another nation. I also don't see how the Pact is relevant to this discussion. We will not change our ways to please outsiders, we never have. You wouldn't do that either, so why are you requesting us to? The discussion here should be about why you decided to get aggressive at us for a matter we weren't even in involved in, or are you so angry because the Aetherii considered you unworthy of ascension and instead turned to us?"

"I am here to expose an evil, xenophobic, thieving and corrupt group for what it is, and hopefully fix it instead of having to break it through war. You had to have had a hand in it, because the Aetherii are intelligent enough to know that we are more sufficient for the next stage, you would require genetic manipulation, social and mental reworking, etcetera. Back to my original point... I think your comment that you would never change part of your clearly broken treaty to suit a more fledgling nation evidence enough, your treaty benefits the elite of the Pact societies, the Equestrians and favours the rich and powerful at the expense of the poor and meek, leaving them to fend for themselves because their economy would either collapse compared with yours or is simply incompatible. I do not intend to change your pact, I wish to expose you so that no other nations will be drawn into your trap"

Makudan civil war

"We may need to offer support soon, their civil war is increasingly problematic..."
"Indeed, we may need to try and quarantine it soon to prevent it spilling out"
"Give them some time, they may be able to sort it quickly"
"Let us hope so"
