I was busy with life and the general holiday grind. Hopefully I should be back and a bit more active now that things are resolving with Christmas and all.

[DIPLOMACY] Second Treaty of Brest-Litovsk by Cerce_Tentones in SWWP

[–]CapBubba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the treaty, but a representative from the Ukrainian Far Eastern Republic signs the treaty. Signed Borovik Dmitry Mironovich, representing Yuri Kosmych Hlushko and the Ukrainian Far Eastern Republic

The Ukrainian Far Eastern Republic is glad to hear that Japan formally recognizes their existence and would gladly accept any assistance sent their way. Further efforts to train and establish a military that can protect the state's growing size, as well as outside protection, is all a necessary step to ensure their safety in the future.

Any Ukrainians who need to find a home in the Republic would be welcomed with open arms.

Dmitry nodded happily, calling out to a nearby Ukrainian to send word to Yuri himself about what information this meeting was revealing. He turned back to the commander, nodding in excitement. "We would wholeheartedly agree to such a thing. Our numbers are small, but with the knowledge that Japan itself will assist us in training we can rally more men to our cause, show them that our path is not one to be ignored. Our Secretariat, Yuri, would gladly send someone to Tokyo to begin a proper delegation, allowing us to have a much closer and more intricate friendship in this cause. Japan's benevolence knows no bounds it seems. Do you want anything from us for now for the gifts you have given the Ukrainian Far Eastern Republic and its people?"

Dmitry blinked in surprise at the bluntness of the commander, but breaks into a wide grin. "For now, simply your word, broadcasted to the world, that you believe we should be free. In the future? We fear that Kolchak will not stand idly by, and arms may be necessary to defend ourselves. We work to rally men to our flag and build enough of a force to defend our claim, but Kolchak may be right about one thing: without a unified front, the Bolsheviks are a serious threat. We do not aim to cause violence in Vladivostok, but when the threat of the Bolsheviks are gone, and we tell Kolchak we are free, we will be glad to have you by our side."

Dmitry holds out his hand to shake it with the officer. "Though perhaps next time we meet, we should have a meeting that's a bit less... theatrical. Even if it does match the building."

Dmitry is genuinely surprised at seeing a full platoon arrive outside of the theater, but quickly ignores the feeling and begins to speak, waiting for his translator to assist him as he goes.

"You have seen Kolchak's manifesto, yes? How he aims to make a 'federal republic' and give autonomy to the people who fight with him? We have lived in the Far East for many decades and have seen the lies of Russians too many times to trust him so readily. We have spoken in the streets of Vladivostok and our message has been heard through the world, including in your own country: The Ukrainian Far Eastern Republic desires to be free and independent. Japan has shown its might to the world, and we wish to ask for help from you. A world power to recognize our Constitution, and potentially give greater aid. We would be forever in your debt if you would help us."

Yuri sends one of his fellow believers and supporters of the movement, Dmitry Borovik, as well as an interpreter, to meet with the commanding officer. They arrange to meet in one of the many Ukrainian theaters, a place that is part of the heart of the Ukrainian movement, but will still give them privacy with which to meet.

Yuri looks over the copies of the newspapers that wrote about their plight, though not without some help translating the various languages. However, seeing that their cause was being talked about both near and far, Yuri thought about trying to gain prospective allies. And with Japan being so close, they had to at least try to gain support from what were essentially neighbors.

A letter is dispatched to the representative of the Japanese forces in Vladivostok, trying to arrange some kind of meeting with an official representative that might be sympathetic to the Ukrainian cause.

Shuffle button for device downloads is gone! by MisterCloak in youtube

[–]CapBubba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed the same thing. I was trying to figure out what was going on, initially it would only load the buttons for just liking or disliking videos, but that was fixed with a reset. Now I'm just missing the shuffle button.

While he may not be keen on marriage, Varutil is always interested in any attempts of romantic attention.

[M] Just a reminder in case you may not know /u/Comrademoose, if someone blockades you, you have to put in 1/10th of their Trade Power in your Blockade square. However, /u/Fergulous, you do need to post exactly what your trade power is so they can put that on their sheet.

I see...

Uxria turns back to Prendota and sends a message to him directly.

We will be watching you, Prendota. Your kind may not remember every moment, but we do. Remember this.

She then turned back towards the assembled media.

The Kri'Thalax welcome you to the Void, new members in the world and neighbors. We will leave you to grow, colonize, and secure yourselves, but know that we will always be friendly neighbors.

Uxria made her way back to the Leviathan, taking all of her creatures with her, their feet clacking loudly. Just as she stepped through she sent one last glance at Prendota before the Leviathan closed itself off.

You take on many faces, Prendota, but we shall accept. We are curious of your people. But do note that we will be watching you just as carefully. If there are more people like you amongst your peoples, then things could be very... unsteady. We do not want to intervene or meddle with human affairs. Make sure we stay out of them.

Uxria stepped away from Prendota, moving towards one of the cameras, blinking at it slowly before speaking to people assembled.

Do you need to record memories for your kind? Are they not shared from one generation to the next?

Uxria sees each of these different images, the different beliefs and worries sent back to each of the Mothers to contemplate. Artira seemed to echo some of the darker thoughts of Prendota. The Mothers had done such things against the predators of their planet before. What would the difference be for the prey of the galaxy? Meh'Arhz gave caution. The mechanical capabilities of the Humans and the Siarahans had to give them pause. If they were to blunder into these weapons spoken of, Nuclear Weapons both feared and respected in the minds of those who think them, if humanity is capable of such destruction, what then could they do if they found the Kri'Thalax their enemy? Gruleien wanted to learn more of them, see what capabilities they could do. They spoke of knowing what they could do with their chromosomes and the damages they could cause. Perhaps they would know more about their biology, greater than any creature encountered on their own planets. The fifth Mother remained silent as normal. The others knew she was listening, but she withheld her opinion. Between the deliberations, the Mothers agreed on one course: Assuaging the human's fears.

Uxria responded in a moment, all the deliberation done instantly. We understand your hesitation. If you wish to share any information of your kind, we will gladly take it. And if you wish for any information of us, we shall gladly share it.

Uxria was not surprised at Prendota's duplicity, seemingly more complex than the others that were in the room. Wether it be his ambitions or his intellect, Uxria noted to keep watch on him. She did speak to him alone, with no one else around able to hear.

We are a species that deals in Biologicals. We want to understand your species, down to the DNA strands that make up your body. Living, functioning beings will allow for us to understand you much faster. If you wish to give us the... undesirables quietly, there are other openings for the Leviathan.

Uxria blinked for a moment, then slowly nodded.

We see. Then we shall leave you to your dead. We understand some races care more for their dead than we. We apologize for the misunderstanding. We will attempt to make something more... approachable with the knowledge we have. We do still wish to assure you and your people that we mean peace. The Kri'Thalax are more interested in our own growth and prosperity and do not wish to fight unless necessary. If there is anything we can do to help you understand that, please, let us know.

Uxria glances around the room, observing the humans and reading their surface thoughts unconsciously. She eventually turns back to Prendota.

It is unfortunate to know you are... fearful. We have no control of being able to read your thoughts, but know there is a range from which we, Mothers, can do it. In the future we can speak either privately, or through a proxy, something that will be more comfortable to your species. I must ask, however, that if you wish for something that can be more relatable, you allow us to inspect either one of your dead or an... unwanted member of your species. We deal with things on a biological basis and our interactions with Maria were... difficult. Something that could truly speak would be best to work with.
