Huge Cold War moment. A ton of dancing around with weapons with zero direct confrontations.

Reminds me of the ONE-ION Cold War.

Or was it OIN.

Jfc we need a RP Timeline.

It was OIN until I made fun of it by saying "oink".

Cybele would acknowledge the political deadlock. Indeed, before the round of voting had even begun she and her personal guard had already landed on Earth to observe the initial construction efforts at Almati, though news reports would be unclear whether she was present for the actual groundbreaking ceremony or if she had spent the first few days incognito to avoid drawing attention to herself. In any case, roughly a week after the announcement of her departure the Meadrish Scholarch would eventually be spotted in the flesh, apparently leaving and entering some of the provisional administrative buildings that the state had setup to oversee the recolonization of Northern Bactria.

Therefore, when word would reach the Swordbearer of the OMF's failed attempts to push for the relocation of the Meadrish capital to Earth, she would redirect their leaders to meet at Almati itself rather than Arausio, making it exceedingly clear where her own preferences lay. To be specific, her responding letter would detail that the Swordbearer had supposedly established a temporary garrison for her personal troops within the general vicinity of Algabas, a tiny periphery community that existed at the very edges of Almati's city limits during the Apollonian era, nowadays an abandoned ruin repurposed as a storage depot for supply runs in and out of Almati, now Cybele's ad hoc base of operations to avoid interfering with the affairs of Meadrish Earth's colonial authorities.

The Swordbearer, while waiting for the OMF's arrival, would take a brief call with Scholarch Cain, whom had apparently also been viewing the whole dilemma back in Arausio.

Cain: "Doesn't make sense though. I mean, you're literally one of our leaders, so why the hell would your own country say no?"

Cybele: "I don't actually remember to be honest. Maybe it's a national legacy of having been the only Salubrian nation up until this point, maybe it's a sense of solidarity with the old non-Earth territories, or maybe someone's trying to screw with me somewhere... Either way, I think I should have it rectified soon."

Cain: "Oh cool, so you're meeting with those hacks in the OA-CP to see what their problem is?..."

After hearing this, the Swordbearer becomes silent for a few seconds, placing both of her hands on her forehead as she sighs deeply. Cain let's her have her internal crisis. Having recollected her thoughts, the Swordbearer then responds.

Cybele: "... Yeah no, that would've been a good idea... No, I'm meeting with the guys who already want to head to Earth."

Cain: "Why would y-..."

Cybele: "Course of action, I don't know. Leave me alone."

Cain: "Like, an internal coup to get rid of the other half of the College or something?"

Cybele: "What, no! It's like maybe a political agreement to get those other orders to vote in favor. Why would I attack my own people?"

Cain: "That is quite literally how you took power."

Cybele: "Fair enough, but again no."

Cain: "This deeply saddens me, but oh well. Good luck with whatever that mess is. Keep me updated with good news if they accept and an inventory of what'll have to be mobilized if they refuse, capeesh?"

Cybele: "Whatever Scholarch, you have a great day."

After shutting down the communication module, the Swordbearer would recline in her seat and peak out through the window of her ramshackle military office. Sunlight was piercing through the dense clouds and shining light on the dead and dying vegetation of Algabas. It almost reminded her... of napalms falling through the sky, illuminating waves upon waves of Nigerian trenches.

Cybele: "No, stupid... we're not doing that... ugh..."

DOGGO MUTINY PT.4

Real Polikitet is a huge success which makes the DNWA lose in parliament and causes not much to get done on that front.

The government is criticized for not getting anything done which is exactly what the Communists want. Legislation over Reconstruction from the civil war is completely halted by the communist party.

People demand the Doggo government does something to stop the violence in the streets caused by people who want there livelihoods back the communists also get it all halted

THE DNWA IS VERY PARANOID, but the straw that will break the camels back is still soon to come

The Atlas Conglomerate would seek to maintain it's influence over the Doggo's Free Land, demanding re-votes and claiming the Communists rigged the votes. Atlas mercenaries have become increasingly hostile to those the Conglomerate deems enemies of Capitalism, to the point of harassing suspected socialists.
