In response to the Consciousness' unceased military production despite promises they would stop such production,
Exhibit A:
In response to the Consciousness edging its stack of doom ever closer to my borders,
Exhibit B:
the Anarchist Collective has decided on a pre-emptive strike against Consensus, capturing the base with success.
The Data Angels have no interest in this war whatsoever. It is a pure act of defense against the inevitable Consciousness declaration of war. In this light, the Angels are willing to sign a peace under the following conditions:
- All previously signed deals remain in effect.
- A permanent open borders agreement is signed.
- Convince me you understand the meaning of MAD: Mutual Assured Destruction.
Seriously, what possesses one to plan an attack on a faction with an equal production capacity, when on top of that your target knows you are coming?
This war only makes the other factions stronger, first and foremost your neighbour the Pirates, who has founded like, what, seven bases now(?), while we were wasting resources on our military.
Mardoc, as the bulk of the Consciousness will move even further west, now would be the perfect time to add a couple more bases to your collection.
