International Union of Equality and Freedom (IC)

[Crystalcliff Point]

"Here's hoping the peace talks don't explode in our faces. It seems she's using them as leverage to obtain that letter, anyways. Which is suspicious in its own rights. I have to deal with Toroko basically insisting you just hand it over to her, but he's hopelessly naive at times. It almost got him killed once..."

"Would you consent for us to duplicate it at the molecular level? That way you can send her the original, and still have someone here analyze the duplicate. You can authenticate it, and if she destroys the original? It's fine. You have the backup copy. She can't even insist you misled her, you did give her the original. No harm, no foul."

[Legokiller]

"Silly Maven, we could take photos and make printed copies of the letter so Lyra even if she destroy the first one were still have evidence of that original letter with us. Thanks for modern technology Parliamentary Chancellor Lyra would be scary pants in terror when the copies same letter is posted all over the internet and the world! So mind if I take a picture of that letter Maven and printed copies and load it into my flash drive and computer?"

[Crystal Spires]

"Yes, but anyone could say that our copies are doctored or photoshopped. That would be a huge blow to our case." Maven said as he held the letter out and motioned to the scanner in the corner. "Urden has made several copies and taken the photos as well. The problem is Lyra wants the original, and without the original we will not have a case. It is a very big threat to blow up the case of blackmail and throw in reasonable doubt if it is destroyed. This must not happen."

[Crystalcliff Point]

To: High Councillor Maven
From: "The Grimalkin"

It has finally come to my attention that you have a letter that requires analyzing. We aren't able to inspect the original, so I offer to inspect a molecular duplicate of the original. Any interesting findings will be reported, and the full cooperation of both nations would be greatly appreciated.

I can have one of my subordinates in Crystal Spires within ten minutes.
-Kokonoe

Sara reluctantly handed the letter over to Maven saying, "Here. It... sort of arrived. From the envelope, I can guess who it is."

[Crystal Spires]

"It would please me for The Grimalkin to inspect the letter. We of Crystal Spires are being accused of being biased and a foreign inspection is what is needed, and the findings can be published as well." Maven said with a nod. "The negotiations are however going in a sad direction. This may be a UEF call for action soon, but I hope it is not."

[Crystalcliff Point]

"She'll likely publish the findings herself, as well. We won't have to wait long, chances are he's already en route. All we have to do is wait for the..."

But she was cut off by the sound of a large smash outside.

"Crash... That's him."

A gigantic (easily ten foot) tall, red skinned man of sturdy build walked in, and glanced around. "You must be Maven. I'm here to perform a quick scan of the letter in question and head out. Any questions about the simple procedure are appreciated."

President Sara coughed slightly from his right-hand side. He nodded at her and said, "Ah, President. I... did not see you there. Is this where all the extra supplies seems to have appeared from? And the labour? Hopefully you're being perfectly honest with them what smelting the core entails. We don't want any nasty surprises, do we?"

OOC: Soooo, Cave Story, BlazBlue... you are a nation of video game characters then?? =|:}P

[Walrusfolk Eurarcta]

"I would suggest sending the molecular duplicate, rather then trusting them with the original. A little deception and the Hippostanians will be none-the-wiser."

[Crystalcliff Point]

OOC: Soooo, Cave Story, BlazBlue... you are a nation of video game characters then?? =|:}P

OOC: It's a rather unholy combination of a bunch of things, with some original elements thrown in. Blazblue just has a lot of fantastic characters I can um... rip off, repeatedly.

"I would suggest sending the molecular duplicate, rather then trusting them with the original. A little deception and the Hippostanians will be none-the-wiser."

"That would also work. In that event, we will have the original arrive in the usual fashion."

[Apoctis]

Ahriman spoke "Surrender nothing to hippostania that can be used against them. We must not give away the superior ground we have upon them with what little we have. Without the advantage, we have nothing. It will turn on us and hurt us more then aid us."

[Bionui]

A Toa walked in, he was Inika, the Toa of Life and Death as he folded his wings, his blank stare fading away he sat down and crossed his arms.

"SO what is going on." He asked.

[Minoan Confederacy]

as the state of relations are slowly declining between Hippostania and Crystal Spires I would once again like to put forward the U.E.F International Task-force now while maven has said that such a Task-force is reasonable this is in a nature where it has to be put to a vote for implementation to the highest possible degree.

what is it:the Task-force is to be a military organization of armed forces given willingly given from nations within the U.E.F the U.E.F.I.T is to be able to handle multiple situation from providing relief efforts behind the lined to enforcing no fly zones and blockades even down to boots on the ground armed interventions

What is its purpose: the purpose of the U.E.F.I.T is to give the union a fast response capabilities in cases that military force is required

How will it be called to service: The task-force is not meant to be an idle plaything to be used by any single country the use of the U.E.F.I.T is to be voted upon by the member nations of the U.E.F within such a vote the degree to which the U.E.F.I.T is to act, the terms of victory and the exit strategy are to be included

Why do we need it: the existence of U.E.F.I.T is so that the union as a whole can respond to situations that are so called matters of time where the longer the response takes the more people perish

[Walrusfolk Eurarcta]

what is it:the Task-force is to be a military organization of armed forces given willingly given from nations within the U.E.F

"How do the nations that lack formal militaries 'give' armed forces? Would it perhaps work better if the force was made up of volunteers from the nation, rather than military forces 'given' from separate nations. Also, how would this U.E.F. military guild take into account the separate species, diets, habitations, cultures, faiths, and fighting styles that would be present?"

"I could imagine quite a bit of internal rivalry and conflict. Personally, I wouldn't advise such a Task Force."

[Sulfar]

« Indeed. A mutual defense agreement would be preferable. »

[Crystalcliff Point]

Sara chuckled and said, "Crystalcliff would be unable to volunteer anything other than a paltry force for this. With that said, our forces sent tend to be a small group of elite personal. It would make more sense to have them be volunteers from each nation, and I dislike the use of the term 'give' in regards to a person."

[Yorobia]

Henry thought a moment. "Neither can we. Our nation is way to small anyway, not capable of enough yet. But we will get bigger.

[Minoan Confederacy]

alright I do see the flaws in such a proposal it shall be a volunteer based organization but with such we would need to discuss the armaments they would use as well as several other factors the idea was for the nations to volunteer a group of people from their army or emergency response organizations so that all the nations would be fairly represented in the U.E.F.I.T

[Yorobia]

"We do not have a great army, and we will need to recruit more ponies/men/women to send a group."

[Minoan Confederacy]

in the old system even anything as small as a squad or two would have been sufficient

[Walrusfolk Eurarcta]

"That's another problem. Some species in the U.E.F. cannot operate humanoid weapons. Individuals in nations like mine might insist on using certain melee weapons for religious or traditional reasons. We cannot predict that one certain weapon will be effective in certain situations. There are too many variables for any type of 'standard armaments' in such a diverse group."

[Yorobia]

"I will await other nations replies before I make mine."

OOC: Could you please write with capitals, punctuation, and a character?

[Yorobia]

That was meant for Minoan Confederacy

[Carceno]

"Regardless of the difference of species, religion, and tradition, there would be no appropriate leadership and rivalry would be common. This is a ridiculous proposal."

[Yorobia]

"Wait a moment, could you clarify that this is because of things like religion, species, and races? That was happening hundreds of years earlier. Have they been attacking you, or did you attack them first?"
