I'll never understand why NPO Senators believe that "I'm a NPO Senator" makes them sound like a more credible source when it comes to the goals and deliberations of the NPO Senate. The NPO Senate does not operate on the basis of public transparency or public accountability. The NPO Senate is the governing body of an autocratic regime. Your allegiance is to the Order and to the Emperor.

While I'm absolutely sure that the NPO would have tried to prevent the consolidation of power by the Rahls in the East Pacific and the West Pacific prior to the Scardino coup, and have heard as much from past NPO officials, the reality was the NPO was at its weakest point politically and diplomatically at that point in time. In terms of NPO's external interests, Scardino's failed takeover was the next best thing.

Describing NPO's Cold War influence in TEP and TWP as "purely natural" is downplaying the severity of the influence that the NPO once had in TEP and TWP. I'm sure there are people who earnestly believe that it is good for the NPO to have a foothold in TEP, that without a strong NPO-TEP connection, TEP's system of government might cosmopolitanize. The irony of the NPO is it's cosmopolitanism for regionalists!

The official who told you that did see the Rahls as a rival because that was his game. Of course, the fact that you accused him of NPO planning to support the Rahls in TWP and TEP kind of guaranteed that there was only one good response. Frankly, I regret that he entertained himself by speaking with you about anything relevant, but everyone likes to find hobbies when they have time to kill.

I wasn't referring to a single senator, I said "past NPO officials." I was describing de facto NPO foreign policy.

Frankly, I find it remarkable following this bouncing ball. You've climbed down from "that wasn't NPO's policy position" to "if it was our policy, we would have acted on it sooner" to "it was the position of the most preeminent members of the NPO, but they're just some isolated views, and how dare they share their intentions with you."

Over my dead body.

You forgot the key detail: previous, prior, before time, primordial, antediluvian.

I haven't put in an answer yet either. I'll go with TEP or Osiris. Now we wait.
