She takes a seat. “Thank you for the welcome and for meeting with me. My nation is interested in opening up relations with Atlantis. From what I understand of your government, I need to meet with the leaders of all of the factions, is that correct?”

With the Fleet arriving, President Maduro has given orders for a new superweapon, encased within the Hull of the first Maduro Class Medium battleship, the Maduro, to be charged up and fired at the location of the Unbidden base on Venus. It was considered an orbital siege breaker, officially named an orbital autocannon. Housed in the ship's hull, with a clear firing line pointed forward.

The weapon began to charge up, with an ominous red glow starting to emit from within the weapon's large barrel. After about 5 minutes, the weapon was charged and fired 3 shots down through Venus' atmosphere, creating a small hole in it's heavy cloud cover. It took about a 20 seconds from firing for the shots to hit their target, and a large explosion was seen on the target location. The surface base had been decimated by the rounds fired. It's not clear what the weapon did to the underground portions, but it's safe to say any Unbidden on the surface near the blast were vaporized or otherwise killed.

The Maduro then retreated back behind the rest of the Fleet to recoup it's energy and recover, as the weapon drains a lot of it's power. It wouldn't be able to fire again for at least 24 hours.

After the weapon fires, news of the success spreads among the American and Colombian Fleets, and soon reaches back home to Earth.

Once the Maduro retreats, the Colombian fleet begins orbital bombardment of the base, or at least, what is left of it, utilizing the short window the superweapon made over the base. The firepower is immense for a fleet it's size, and the several different ships it's comprised of are noticeably different still. The Roman ships seem to have more overall guns, while the American Ships have larger batteries in general. Either way, Colombia is giving the Unbidden one heck of a glassing.

The Ease into Modern Times

Accepting the fact that societal norms have changed even in just the last decade since Colombia's founding, President Maduro has been hesitant to accept and go along with these changes. However, he seems to have changed his mind.

He has reached out to Ulfheim (Zvezdazov), and proposed an embassy be opened in Bogota to host and Ulfish Ambassador.

He has also issued an executive order giving Anthros the right to vote, marry, and be elected officials. Previously, all were illegal in Colombia.

Astonished, and grateful of the change, Ùlfheim accepts the offer to open an embassy in Bogota, and has offered Colombia either a prefabricated building in the Gardar Embassy Complex, or a plot of land near Reykjarvik for the construction of its own.

Any and all sanctions or restrictions previously applied to Colombia on both local and executive levels have been cleared as of this day.

Prime Minister Stewart is pleased to announce that the Celtic mission to Mars has been launched and they are expected to reach the planet and set up a base shortly. “This fleet of 4 spacecraft is just the start. They will be the first and the ones to set up the base but they will hopefully soon be joined by many more as we expand our space presence.”

US technicians will be ready to meet them and help them establish a presence.

He talks to her for a moment and then ends the call.
“Okay, I think she bought it…I think.”“Well I’m keen to maintain ties to our traditional allies, so are you proposing defence and trade?”

“Well we’re not ‘divine’ really, we’re all drugged up.”

Brigid nods. “Lets hope she did. If not then we need to be prepared to take her down soon, even if Butcher does not find the weapon.”

The Next Step.
Now that the Varskian Moonbase has seen substantial development, President Sunyer has authorised the next step, the sending of rockets to Mars.
Utilising a launch facility constructed at the lunar facility, a rocket named "Vredebringer" has now departed for Mars, with plans to land near the valles marineris and claim a chunk of territory for a new Varskian Lunar Colony.
The Rocket is expected to take around 6-7 months to reach Mars, with the nation waiting with baited breath to find out if it successfully makes that trip or not.

6 Months Later...
In an astonishing leap for interplanetary exploration, the nation of Varsk has accomplished a momentous feat by successfully establishing the "Varskian Martian Colonies" within the formidable Valles Marineris on Mars. This unprecedented achievement marks the beginning of a new era in space exploration and colonization.

The Valles Marineris, a system of canyons stretching over 4,000 kilometers across the Martian surface, has captured the imagination of scientists and space enthusiasts for decades. Its rugged terrain, deep chasms, and diverse geological formations make it both a challenging and captivating location for colonization efforts. The Varskian mission, which began several years ago, culminated in a nail-biting landing sequence that had the world on the edge of their seats.

Varsk's colonization endeavor is propelled by cutting-edge technology, with a primary focus on sustainability and self-sufficiency. The colonists have ingeniously repurposed advanced robotics and 3D-printing technology to construct habitats that are capable of withstanding the harsh Martian environment. These habitats utilize innovative techniques to generate breathable air, potable water, and cultivate crops within the challenging conditions.

"The Varskian Martian Colonies represent a remarkable collaboration between engineering prowess and human determination," stated Dr. Elara Sanchez, a leading astrobiologist and advisor to the Varskian Space Agency. "This achievement extends the boundaries of what humanity can accomplish beyond our home planet and serves as a stepping stone for future explorations."

The Varskian government has committed to fostering international cooperation in space exploration and colonization, inviting scientists, researchers, and innovators from around the globe to join forces in the expansion of the Varskian Martian Colonies. Their ambitious goals include conducting groundbreaking research in fields such as astrobiology, geology, and environmental science, further enriching humanity's understanding of Mars and its potential for sustaining life.

As the first reports and images begin to trickle in from the Varskian Martian Colonies, the world watches in awe and anticipation. This historic endeavor not only demonstrates the remarkable progress of space technology but also ignites a renewed sense of wonder and curiosity about the possibilities that lie beyond our own planet. With the establishment of the Varskian Martian Colonies, humanity has embarked on a journey that could redefine our place in the cosmos.
