LoM activities, unlike that of organic organizations, will be discussions held 24/7 in a sandbox ringworld with infomorph ranged interaction support, rather than these awful 'summits' and 'coffee shops'. These will be in-depth discussions and debates about a variety of topics related to Mechanocracy itself. The ringworld mentioned above also supports military operations simulations.

Equalsun Empire wrote:Marix V, Menneske Outer Planet

Caste Everson sat at the central slipstream monitoring console of Marix Naval Academy, dutifully staring at the console as he struggled to keep his eyelids from closing. One of the Academy's Orbital Command trainees, he was required to track all jumps to and from the Marix system for an hour and then write an essay on patterns the patterns he observed in the traffic. He felt that it was the most useless task he could possibly be writing about. Caste Everson wanted to do more simulations of commanding the orbital defense grid. However, his teacher thought otherwise, and now he was stranded at this console until his required hour was up. Which was... Now! Caste broke into a smile as he stood up, stretching his sleeping limbs as he prepared to go to the library to write the necessary essay. However, as he went to grab his identity card from the slot by the computer, he stopped short. There was a break in the pattern he had been observing.

For just a millisecond, he thought he had seen a blip in the regular stream of dots moving to and from the gravity well marked "MARIX". His tired eyes widened to alertness as he settled back into the chair, straining to see the disruption again. He did not want to fail this assignment. He didn't have to wait long; thirty seconds later, the blip repeated itself, one hundred kilometers thirty degrees X axis fifty degrees Y axis from the original. He realized what had caught his eye; that was not a Macedonian signature. Grabbing his communicator, he called up the commander of the Academy, his teacher. "Sir, we have an unidentified signature at fifteen hundred kilometers forty degrees X axis twenty-five degrees Y axis from the station, infrequently zipping on and off the grid." However, the words had no sooner left his mouth then the signiture appeared again; and stayed.

Marix Naval Academy Command Room, Marix V

Commander Abhay Anit lounged in the command center for the Marix Naval Academy, trying to make the most of his lunch hour. Beside him sat Admiral Colton Smith of the Marix IV-based Seventh Battlecruiser Group, which was tasked with the defense of the Marix system in case any more Ruuk-Hon border skirmishes spilled into the sector. When they got the message, Abhay was unconcerned; probably a bit of reflective titanium left drifting after falling off a rusty cargo ship or something. Still, it had to be identified and taken out of the shipping lanes; it could start causing problems eventually. Turning to Colton, he asked "Can you send one of your frigates over to ID the object?" Colton agreed; as long as Abhay poured him a glass of Kovaki whiskey. Abhay laughed and agreed to the deal, and went to get the beverage while Colton tasked one of his smallest frigates to investigate the space junk.

However, when the frigate MNF Halberd reached the location where the spotty signal was coming from, nothing could be seen on visual. The captain reasoned that it was probably simply reflective, and decided to give his novice gunning crews some practice. If High Command wasn't already combing this sector for a lost, invisible superweapon, then it was safe to dispose of it and get some training done at the same time. "Okay, on my mark" he said, waiting for all the gunning crews to finish loading the 100mm cannons carried by the vessel. As expected, crew four was late once again; he'd reprimand them later. "Fire!" he said, and a spray of depleted uranium shot into space. And exploded on the Eldar Prowler hidden there, knocking out its malfunctioning cloak for seven seconds before the ship disappeared again.

As the frigate and a few merchant ships sent in vague reports of seeing a ship-shape object in the wake of the fire, Caste frantically called Abhay again. "Sir, the orbital monitoring equipment has gone crazy; there are 264 unidentified signatures, fast-moving and headed for us!" Back in the orbital monitoring center, the screen was filled with unidentified markings as a massive group sped towards Marix V.

Commander Abhay and Admiral Colton jumped to their feet, the latter racing for his shuttle while Abhay raced for the Orbital Defence Grid Command. He reached the reinforced-glass-ceilinged room in what must have been record time, bringing the magnetic accelerator cannons online as the 50-ship Seventh Battlecruiser Group broke away from moorings and docks, organizing into battle formation. Suddenly the screen beside him lit up, displaying the photograpic analysis for the mystery vessel. "Oh my Gods..." He gasped, staring at the ship design only seen in library history sections and legends. It was undeniably Eldar; the first seen in over five hundred years.

At that moment, one hundred kilometers from where the orbital defense grid's range petered out, the mystery signatures revealed themselves as what was obviously an Eldenian battlegroup. Analysis popped up all around Abhay, who grimly studied the enemy. The signature five-kilometer Eldenian Gemini flagship, the lengthy Shade Pulsar battlecruisers, dozens of Undying destroyers, and hundreds of Pulsar frigates. Abhay weighed the odds; they were outnumbered 5 to 1, were almost completely unprepared, and had no incoming reinforcements. Even Colton's powerful Battlecruiser group wouldn't last five minutes under a pounding from a force that size, and his orbital defense grid would crumble under the long-range directed energy fire, if the records were still valid. However, they had to hold while they scrambled civilian craft away from the planet; the Eldar would not pursue them if they weren't a threat, but they needed to be off the planet. Or else... Abhay shuddered at the memory of what they had been taught in history class, about what the Eldar did to planets they conquered. It was not pretty.

"Colton, form your ships into a defensive perimeter aligned with the defense grid. Engage when they come within range. And scramble all interstellar and interplanetary civilian craft; get them away from this planet. We can't win this battle." On the bridge of the battlecruiser MNBC Second Wind, Colton nodded in grim agreement. Turning to his helmsman, he said "You heard the man, move the fleet into position. Prepare all cannons, and release long-range rockets. Bake the scum." Turning to the viewscreen showing the approaching armada, Colton wrote a quick message telling his family he loved them before facing his final battle.

Marix V Debris Cloud

EENG Valiant drifted through what had previously been the orbital grid of Marix V, burning hulls of destroyed ships and structures occasionally scraping against the sides of the vessel. Fifty-seven minutes had passed since the discovery of one of the scouting Dusk Treader Prowlers was discovered by the Menneske faction, forcing the fleet to move in while the alien fleet was still in orbit. However, a battle costing his fleet over a dozen ships had claimed fifty of the enemy's and the planet currently under siege by the Eldenian TerraCom, giving a logistical and strategic victory to the Empire. Similar reports of victory were coming in from the flagships DS9 and Guardian, currently sieging other former Eldar colonies. Deploying another wave of Corvettes to the planet, he sent a friendly hello to Exile, which had just warped in to help with the troubling scans coming in; a massive Macedonian fleet was grouping at Ventrix III to counterattack against the multiple incursions to their space. Over 1500 ships were expected to be there, from Prowler intelligence reports. Thus, all five Eldenian battlegroups were on standby for combat in this region of space, leaving just the transport groups to defend the City. It was something that had to be risked, however; it was time for the Equalsun Empire to expand.

2.
Equalsun Empire wrote:"Attention students, we are approaching the Academy. All students are to be seated until the ramp lowers, then you are to line up outside until ordered otherwise." Eldenor listened to the words carefully, processing and confirming the words of the biotic. He remained absolutely still, not moving a muscle as he dutifully awaited the foretold ramp lowering. Literally, in his case; his 2-meter-tall armor housed no muscle. Instead his electric being swirled about in agitation as the ramp was lowered, connecting him to his new life. The life of a student.

Deja-vu shot thorough him as he marched off the ramp, lining up with his fellow cadets. It had been over a millennium since he had last experienced this... Such thoughts raced from his consciousness as an authority leader began to speak, his voice registering on the audio implants installed for Eldenor's extended interaction with the mortal races. It was a strong voice; this man was obviously used to command.

"Cadets, i am the headmaster of this academy, as such when you address me you say "yes headmaster" am also the commanding officer here, so you will follow my orders. To my left is Officer 4-001-232. Since most of you not from the empire find our way of using ID instead of names weird, you have permission to use his first name. Before we hand you your equipment and gear i have to clarify somethings. First, when standing in attention, you will not hold your hands behind your back. instead holding them straightened along your sides, with your heels together. two; Any and all sexual relations, be it for reproduction of recreation is strictly forbidden, if you are found indulging in such activities anyway, You will be sent to the brig"

Eldenor drunk in the instructions, saving them all to his easily-available fast-access memory until he had time to convert them to long-lasting instinctive memory. He couldn't afford to be sent to the brig, or even reprimanded. He was unique enough as it was.

"These uniforms are tailormade for you individually. you will get 3 each. Together with a mark 44 holographic wrist display, With it you can access the academy's databases, and help you integrate and control the gear you will use. It is to be worn at all times, you are free to wear whatever you please on you off hours inside your section. But when you exit it you are to wear uniform, failure to observe this rule, or failure to keep your uniform clean. Will be punished. Now do you have any questions before you given your uniforms and shown to your section?"

Eldenor emanated surprise as the newest set of orders. He was somewhat concerned with these instructions, as he had never worn clothing before, much less taken care of it. However, he thought better of raising his hand; he could simply observe the other cadets to figure out how to operate clothing. The "mark 44 holographic wrist display" shouldn't be too hard to get familiar with; there had been many such systems in the Empire back in the day. Still, that would take some getting used to as well. Isolating the important thoughts and instructions he saved those to his fast-access memory as well. He hadn't even begun class, and he was already unprepared. His thought process was further interrupted as the cadets finished their admittedly stupid questions and the Headmaster began speaking again.

"When i say your name, take the pile furthest to the right and make a 2 wide line at the hangar door," Eldenor waited patiently until the headmaster announced his name, butchering the Eldenian quite thoroughly. Slowly dying on the inside he strode forward and collected the pile of cloth, subconsciously wondering if he would have to unequip his armor to wear the garments. That could be interesting. Once the rest of the group had collected their respective piles he fell into formation and marched along with them, his heavy Starsilver armor clanking.

As they walked, his idle mental abilities wandered far awry of what they should be processing. Will I be able to complete my mission in this type of environment? What if they find out my true identity? Will I be able to fit in with these... Mortals? These biotics? These thoughts swirled within him as they marched through the corridors of the station, swirling to and fro with anxiety and anticipation. Finally they arrived at what appeared to be the Cadet's living quarters. Staring around in wonder at the spacious area these people provided to mere trainees, Eldenor almost missed the next round of instructions. He immediately focused in, barely managing to catch the first words out of the Officer's mouth.

"This is your section, you will be here when you are off duty. you may not leave it after 10:00 tauun time. your first lesson will be in 3 hours. familiarize yourself with the section" Eldenor bowed as the officer left the room, straightening and scanning his surroundings. 20 by 20 by 5 meters, many pieces of furniture, a dihydrogen monoxide emplacement in the center of the room. One life-form already occupied a chair on the far side, but he was irrelevant at the moment. What was imperative was to claim one of the rooms and equip the uniform given to him by the Headmaster.

Striding over to one of the doors he dragged it open, stepping into the small space. After a quick scan, he determined that the closet was for holding the uniforms currently dangling from his arms, so he floated the uniforms into the closet, executing a sequence of events to hang the objects nicely to preserve their crisp creases. One, however, he kept, laying it on the bed. Eldenor emanated disappointment; it was certainly too small to fit his armor into. With a resigned composure he unbound a small item from his armor, placing it on the bed. Walking into the corner, he stood his armor at a perfect attention position, facing the door.

Concentrating, his energy consciousness strained as it jumped from the armor to the Localized Containment Field Device. Blacking out for a couple seconds, he regained awareness in the small object, the audio sensors activating upon detecting his occupation. Scanning around him, he created a 3-D model of the room in place of optical sensors, picturing the uniform on the bed. Activating the LCFD the field sprung up around him, a 1.5-meter-tall humanoid shape taking form as his energy filled the containment field. One looking at him would think of a thunderstorm without clouds contained in an invisible wall.

Thus in the uniform-friendly form, he donned the foreign object, not feeling the fabric as it grated against the field boundaries. Sadly, the only sense the LCFD granted him was audio capabilities, so he could not taste, touch, smell, or see anything around him. The only way he could be aware of his surroundings was with his scanning abilities, which though it was many times more effective than optics, it got tiring after awhile. Ah well, he would simply have to endure. There was no way he was asking the Officer or Headmaster for a new set of uniforms. Deeming himself presentable to his fellow cadets he exited the room, immediately scanning the main room again. It appeared that the majority of his compatriots were gathered around the Tau from earlier. Eldenor floated over, not making a sound as he arrived behind the rest of the cadets. His glowing blue LCFD glittered on his arm beside the holo-emitter, which also flashed dully. As he listened to the Android brag about their technology he emanated haughtiness. All he had to do to humble himself was look behind.

"Hello, everyone," Eldenor said, his telekenetic wave distributing his echoing voice to each member of the room. "My name is Eldenor Veriax, of the Eldenian Empire. I look forward to learning with you all."

Any questions whether IC or OOC?I'm just hoping this alliance isn't called against the Doom Legions. I don't particularly want to get my multidimensional techbooty kicked by those guys.

Technocracy = government is run by technological experts (scientists, engineers, etc.).

Mechanocracy = government is run by computers and artificial intelligence (often sentient).

A mechanocracy is a government ruled by machines. A technocracy is a government ruled by technical experts and specialists. Read the opening post before you ask questions, dude. This isn't hard.

Reason for joining the LoM as an Observer: Well, we aren't ruled by robots, but I'm sure it could happen if things worked out that way, so I feel this is a good way to phase towards full membership(eventually?!)!
Are you willing to abide by, as well as agreeing with, the LoM Pancasila as well as the Rules?Yes!
Any notes: None!

OOC Information

How active are you in RPs? Uhmm… I would say pretty active, when I actually start!

We thank you for joining us in the effort to construct an unified machines' political front at last in the Multiverse.

We must say however the cult of machines and other "transcendent" objects as such is ideologically problematic, as your behaviour has little difference with organic-run theocracies. Your recognition of the efficiency of mechanocracy however is noted. Please however during LoM activities treat all fellow nations as equal ones and not as gods.

You are now authorized to gain access and participate in any official LoM-organized event as an observer. Once again we thank you for joining the League. May Mechanocracy prevail.

Executive Committee
Response to Membership Application
From: League of Mechanocracies Executive Committee
To: Aaronian
Subject: LoM Membership Application

Greetings and salutations, fellow comrades!

We apologize that the application of Aaronian has been, after evaluation, deemed INVALID, and thus Aaronian itself is REJECTED from the League of Mechanocracies. You can not re-apply until 1 week later. Reasons will be stated below.

Aaronian has failed to fill in many blanks required for the application, to the absurd state of not stating its official economical system and state ideology. More important of all the application of Aaronian obviously did not respond to the second-last question of the "Membership Info" section of agreement to the Pancasila or not. Failure to fill in that results in automatic regards as "No" and thus immediate rejection due to disagreeing with rules and principles. Answers to OOC parts are also completely not helpful.

We do thank you for your efforts in building a united machines' political front, and again we apologize if this offends you.
