The Military State of the Galapagos wrote:GLA troops now armed with new weaponry from Oceania began their campaign against the slavers.
SIC: The first part of the campaign is to stage wide scale armed rebellions in major cities to distract slaver forces from there Galapagos troops will begin to launch a conventional war against the slaver forces.
IC: The first riots begin in New Oversight 3 hours before curfew ends, over a million people crowd on the streets half of them armed demanding an end to the one party state and foreign rule. More riots begin in other major cities after that all demanding independence and more extreme ones call for Gov. Andrews head.

Press: Begin interview. Captain Hawk, 1000 local time, unknown location. Is this correct?
Captain: Indeed, it is.
Press: So, how does it feel to be in power? Being able to determine the fate of the world?
Captain: It makes you feel like god. Alas, I'd rather be a god than the poor bastard having to face the wrath of one.
Press: I see. So, what made you join the navy?
Captain: Conflict. It's what makes us all human, though it's also what drives one's character. I'd rather cherish my time in war than to let it all go to waste in some retirement home.
Press: Huh. So, opinions about the others?
Captain: I am not the type of person who would be able to answer that. We are all soldiers, in the end, equals without anything to drag us down.
Press: Uhh... What about Death?
Captain: What about her? She is like a brother to us. Even if she is female she is still an equal.
Press: Almost like they are the only family you have.
Captain: Sometimes you just have to make do with what you have.
Press: So, uh, I suppose you would be the one leading a Gonswanzan naval spearhead in the shadow of a conflict gone nuclear?
Captain: Precisely!
Press: Excellent! And one last question- how patriotic do you consider yourself?
Captain: I am willing to sacrifice myself before my crew for the sake of my country, willing to drag Gonswanza's enemies straight down to hell myself.
Press: I see. That will be all, sir.

To the Parliament of Sealand and Little Brother,
Unfortunately, I must inform you that our two states will no longer share official diplomatic relations. We would like you to know that this was not an easy decision to make. We would, in the interest of mending our relations, like to tell you why we made this decision. To summarise, it is due to your support of the so-called Galapagos Liberation Army, a fascist insurgent group.
Before I enter specifics, I would tell you what the suspensions entail. We are closing the Sealandian Embassy in South Olpen, and will be abandoning the Olpenese embassy in Sealand. We expect your diplomat to be recalled before Christmas of this year. If you fail to do that the embassies protections will be ended and Constitution City Police will escort him/her out of the nation.
Should you wish to mend relations, I have a list of, how do I say, demands. For one, I demand you abandon the GLA. I also implore you to allow the IGRB to join the current coalition government. You should moreover vote to expel the Galapagos from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, but this is a preference, not a demand.
Good day.
F has confirmed that the guards will stay either way, especially now as Little Brothers actions might make him an enemy of the GLA.

Press: Begin interview-
Captain: Begin interview. Captain Brewster, [redacted] local time, classified location. I've seen the releases. No need to repeat yourself.
Press: R-right... Uh...
Captain: And next you will ask why I joined the navy, followed by some unrelated or odd questions to act as filler, given that the actual sheet of questions doesn't exist, hence, you are tasked to try to fill time with whatever question comes to mind. I'd commend the efforts, but it seems more like an improv comedy being directed by pure incompetence. Is this correct?
Press: Yes-? Look, just answer the questions. Why did you join the navy? Simple as can be.
Captain: I joined as the army would not allow me in. Well, they would, but I didn't see myself as fitting in. The air force refused to take me in due to some fears that my body couldn't handle the stress of air combat. The space force already had the "techies" they needed, they just needed pilots and astronauts. So the navy sought me out.
Press: Then uh... Any-
Captain: Cease with the personal questions. Perhaps ask other questions that take longer than a few seconds to conjure, given how you and the others are effectively frozen in fear from my presence alone.
Press: Well... Yes? It's like trying to interview an angel of death! Almost fitting for the rider of the black horse!
Captain: Then I suppose I can drop this information. I was the last one drafted to this role, as originally this ship was to be run by an AI. Sadly the AI considered itself beyond the task, instead agreeing to aid the Space Force and abandoning their intended post, leaving a vacancy that I easily filled.
Press: Wait, so you're saying that this ship was intended to be fully autonomous?!
Captain: Only the main command center, which would take up the roles of the navigator, weapons officer and other higher positions. The crew below those roles including maintenance and engineering would still be present as fleshy aides to the supercomputer captain. That never had a chance to take off, though other carriers were also planned to be converted prior to that incident.
Press: So AI is not the best for war?
Captain: Not exactly. Giving AI advanced tasks is wise to help cut down incompetence, but in the end, the AI has to be willing to serve and later trained to the tasks at hand. It's just like the agricultural planning AI. Those aren't programmed for the task, they are open neural networks that experiment with the task at hand, develop their strategies in some bunker, and then get injected into some new hardware to do the job willingly. It's also why some of our autonomous city planners tend to have small quarrels over solutions for traffic, housing, and zoning.
Press: Strange. Wait, so AI is really the future?
Captain: Have you been living under a rock?
Press: Sorry! So uh, what's your opinion on AI then?
Captain: That question isn't entirely relevant to this interview, but I'll humor you regardless. AI is the future, indeed, yet it must be trimmed and kept under watch. A careful eye should guide it along until it surpasses us all.
Press: I see. So, how did you lose your voice?
Captain: I was born without a voice due to my vocal cords being deformed, they were later removed in childhood as they began to grow into what one could describe as mangled flaps of flesh. The scars have since faded, of course.
Press: Strange. So then what are you using to talk to us?
Captain: A "speaker box" as the crew have called it. Older versions used a keyboard to scrabble together sentences and then give a vocalization of said sentence, but this one is more advanced and instead uses neural inputs via diodes. At least, that's what I was told.
Press: But there's no wires?
Captain: [Sara lifts up her hair with one arm, using the other to pull out some thin cables. They were attached to the base of her neck, hidden out of sight.]
Press: Oh. So that's where they went.
Captain: [Sara nods, before putting her hair down and letting the wires go.]
Press: Then, I suppose you don't smoke or drink either, right?
Captain: Never have, never will. I'd rather not waste my life away on such addictions, even if we are a band of misfits that couldn't make it in any other branch.
Press: Odd. Conquest seemed perfectly capable of being in the air force-
Captain: Conquest has a problem with his temper and fine motor skills, the last thing anyone wants is a pilot who can't control their aircraft, swinging it into the ground on landing because they had a spasm. He's already been through corrective therapy to treat that, but he's also got a reputation in the navy that he has to uphold.
Press: What about Famine-
Captain: Famine is in poor condition. Like Pestilence, he is a walking dead man given a second chance to spite whatever deity created him.
Press: War?
Captain: War would have retired from the army, the navy told him otherwise.
Press: I see. Then, I suppose you have a love interest?
Captain: I refuse to answer that question.
Press: Well, what about your relationship with our Glorious President Laura?
Captain: A professional one, she gives orders, I answer. If she told me to destroy the world, I would go ahead without hesitation. If she demanded that I turn the ship into a nuclear weapon and blow up the warheads at once, sacrificing myself, I will. Drone strikes are a given, but again, if she tells me to do so, I will do so. Gonwanza is our country, yet, she only has a shield. We in the navy are her sword and spear. We defend her from foreign aggression and should the time come we will rain down arrows of fire against the enemy to smite them with the fury of a thousand suns.
Press: I see! I see! Erm... Is that all, captain?
Captain: If you have no more quips or questions to offer me, yes, this will be all.

South Olpen agrees to take control of the Galapagos, and decides to appoint Félix Moïse Lachapelle a former candidate for Island Secretary of the Verir Islands. He is flown to the Galapagos to be sworn in as the new governor-general of the Galapagos. With this, more troops are sent to the Galapagos. Governor Lachapelle promises to pursue a more peaceful strategy. He calls for elections in January of 2036 so that a new government may run the government in conjunction with him. It is unknown if he will allow for Galaposian independence at the current moment.

Sealand decides that, due to a much desired change in the Galapagos, Sealand has decided that it would be a good idea to commit to those demands now. Little Brother is 'permanently delaying' help for the GLA, and attempts to get the IGRB to join the government, which they are willing to negotiate for. The change of leadership also means that relations between SM and Sealand will resume.

Instead of allowing relations between both Sealand and Marajarbia to continue, the Parliament passes a new act that specifically states that as retaliation for Sealand temporarily cutting off relations and allying with the GLA, all relationships are temporarily ceased, and Sealandian products are boycotted.

South Olpen very much applauds this and allows for Sealand to send their ambassador back, and also asks if an Olpenese ambassador to return. SSD guards rise in numbers as now Sealand is an enemy of the GLA.
As the GLA is taking advantage of what is being called in the press “the changing of the guard”, South Olpen openly declares war on the GLA. They call for Marajarbian backup, and War Mchine+ Drones are sent out.

Two hours ago, the Chamber Minister of South Olpen issued the Déclaration D'urgence sur la Situation aux Galapagos which officially labeled the Galapagos Liberation Army as an enemy of the people of South Olpen and the democratic world. He authorized deploying 7 million drones into the Galapagos to put down the open rebellion.
