Re: Proposal: For a Provisional ESUS Joint Task Force
Posted: Tue Sep 01, 2009 4:30 am
For the Solarians, anything resembling a Senate wasn't to be taken too seriously. Their opinion was clear, and their unique political setup would make the necessary coercive provisions to "volunteer" people and resources into such task force impossible, for otherwise nobody would ever care about what was obviously proposed in favor of those egocentric hacks claiming the north of their Milky Way, which could just burn and pay for their arrogance. Their choice was logical, to ensure the proposal will not be approved, and if it does, to hope it ends as paperweight rhetoric. The hope of most Solarians was that Trailers ended burnt out somehow. Since a certain incident, people started spitting on anything resembling Greek culture in Solar Communes and there is a common disgust over that which would be most benefited with the proposal. Besides, they have always minded their own businesses and been somewhat isolationistic. Better billions of humans dead than billions of humans living as slaves to feed the war machines of their genocidal and ruthless governments, when no other choice was sane, like in this case.
Their only presence was a small, hovering metal orb recording everything for the few who would bother to check it. The Solarians knew the importance of knowing not only themselves, but also their "allies". Eventually, as the debate calmed down a little, the orb projected the image of a man covered by darkness, as he simply said:
"None of us is willing to support this endeavor, none of us is willing to coerce others into supporting it, none of us care about chains of command, none of us will die as fodder puppets for a conflict to which the only ones to blame are those who began Ironing things out. Our people will not jump into the grave Hermes and IRON dug for themselves, for we recognize that certain negative aspects will only be extinct once their bearers are gone, and sometimes unfortunately, such bearers are entire cultures. Getting killed over a mess we didn't start? Definitively not.
