Good sol, Explorers. Progress is relative to the costs for achieving it. Corporations across Federation space are tallying exactly what they lost. But in exchange, Quantum awaits us on the other side of the EBs. Vast amounts of a substance that has been so tightly regulated, you’d never be able to get enough of it for purposes other than FTL travel or advanced weapons. Now, the speculation around the untold amounts of Quantum to be discovered is propelling investment at light speed. The practical among us will see the tragedy as so many other tragedies, as an opportunity. | |||
The Union has done well to give so much in this endeavor. They stood with us and lost some of their own. We must look to the future with our MIEB partners, yes. We must also provide oversight when possible in order to ensure the gains made are channeled to sectors with the highest chances for success. The Union will have its share of the spoils of the EB era, but they may at the same time benefit from proper consultation when so many have given their lives for the advancement of Humanity. | |||
'''Reorientation, Part 2 of 2'''<br> | |||
Talk has been gaining traction around a few incendiary theories as to exactly what happened, but I will not throw fuel on the fire today. Yet, it is the Empire, who for all intents and purposes, have sacrificed the least and are the most vocal about what they have done. Yes, they have sent their Healers and their Genetic tech to assist with the wounded and the optics are certainly good. Having said that, I also enjoy the freedom of thought put to speech. The Imperator will want more than what he will get and the Empire will fall over themselves thanking him for it. Emperor Solas is so far removed from the minds a democracy can produce that trying to imagine what goes through his head yields nothing but diminishing returns. Equal opportunity for the individual advancement of all humans is something the Empire will have to come to terms with once we harness EB travel. | |||
With the memories of those lost from the MIEB Task Force in full perspective, let’s refocus on the task at hand and make sure success to our ventures in the age of the Einsen-Bridge is the ultimate historic reference point to these heroes. | |||

''' | '''Loss is a Ladder'''<br> | ||
''From the Chambers of the Ministry of Health'' | |||
We offered help, they refused. Now we offer to clean up their dead. Nothing pains The Emperor more than sacrifice with nothing to show for it. It is the desire and supreme command of His Excellency that guides me to my honorable purpose in relating to you what the Imperial vote means. | |||
The Federation led this debacle with their contradicting chattering heads and yet they would see this as a victory for themselves. Surely it is thanks to our scientists on the surface of Mimir and orbiting the IEB that helped the corporations save face with our own groundbreaking work. Rest assured though, we will see those efforts bear fruit for the honor and glory of the Empire. I cannot speak for the lives lost to the Federation past the duty we go to perform for them. | |||
The Union, in their rush to hold all hands and consider all opinions into their final convoluted decisions, followed the Federation into this endeavor in lock-step. They’ve lost the least, for waiting in the wings is the next random selection to fill the void. Their dead will be accounted for accordingly. A fog is upon the Union mind and it blocks the clarity our Emperor bestows upon the Imperial citizen. There is not, nor will there ever be a veil the Emperor cannot pierce with the light of reason, and so too it awaits the worthy after we pass. What awaits all others is a loss too terrible for me to consider. | |||
In spite of our partners’ short comings, the Emperor’s charity knows no bounds. We have dispatched our Wardens to Mimir to give proper aid in recovering whatever may be left of our dead. We honor Him by continuing to honor our commitment to the MIEB…for now. We will count the dead, just as Wardens have done since before the destruction of Sol…no matter the loss. | |||

''' | '''We Mean What We Say'''<br> | ||
''Dr. Calia Bremen, assistant to Steward Jase Yosen, Civic of Health'' | |||
Sisters and brothers, I’d obviously like my first message to you all to be under better circumstances, but here we all are, in this shit together. My heart broke when I got the news, then turned to ash when I saw the visuals…my sister was on the Skłodowska, along with members of your family and tribes as well. There’s no feeling quite like the pain that comes with seeing your own kin die. Jase hasn’t sat down since we all heard the news, pulling on any resources he has supply enough of to send to Mimir to help. If we can save even one of our own, I’d send the Bastion itself packed with the whole damn fleet. | |||
The MIEB Task Force, a joint Faction operation pulling from the best the Union has on offer. In addition, it receives whoever got the highest test scores from the Federation, and whatever the Emperor thinks the Core System needs and needs to give him in return. Solas Craine, may he take his head out of his own ass and see the sacrifice made in collective effort. This is surely just pissed into the wind, but I hope somewhere in his golden halls he has the grit to work through to the goal we all committed to. | |||
Then there’s our impeccably well-timed corporate allies. I’ll give the Federation this, they do produce people who know their craft. They talk a lot, I mean A LOT about every damn thing in front of them before getting to work. But I was hopeful after hearing from my…there it is again, that fucking pain. I’m so not good at this announcement shit. Look, I hate the loss as much as any of you because I know you feel my pain, and I feel yours. Any Unionist worth their salt will dig their heels in right now and push till there’s nothin’ left to give. Till we can say to our dead the Einsen-Bridges are open to all humanity. Nuff said. | |||
Heads held high. | |||

Transgalactic report 46.8.512, Trice Chavos, Universal Council | |||
Following the Irenic Einsen Bridge Tragedy, the Council has taken a step back to reevaluate the best way forward for all. It is this assembly’s purpose to promote peace and cooperation between the Factions; doing so requires commitment of every member of this body. It is the Council’s hope that every faction upholds its commitment to the MIEB Task Force as we continue to provide vital support to Dr. Takeda’s replacement, Dr. Barnhardt. As she steps up to redefine the methods through which Einsen Bridge research shall be led into the new age, the Council wishes to reiterate Federation President Kim Lee’s words: their sacrifices will help us push beyond the present limitations. | |||
Despite tragedy, there is something to celebrate. Each of our three governments has gone through a period of great change over the last few months; each has assembled new tools with which to communicate its wants and needs to the neighboring factions. It is the Council’s hope that the relationship between Empire, Federation, and Union be strengthened by continued lines of communication and collaboration between each newly created state organ. | |||
Continuing onto more pressing matters: The Federation has tightened security around Mímir. It now insists on inspecting all supplies and screening all vessels nearing the Einsen Bridge and surrounding planetary space, as well. This has caused consternation among arrivals from the Union and Empire. Their discontentment has been addressed by Federal authorities who insist that this increased security is a temporary measure that will be reverted once all the reasons for the Skłodowska’s failure become known. The Federation insists that the MIEB Task Force’s authority be respected as it continues the investigation. | |||
The Council understands both the Federation’s need to protect its investigation and the Empire and Union’s frustrations. A vote has been called to support either the sanctity of the investigation or the autonomy of each faction to enter Mímir’s space based on its own inclination. Faction representatives will address this in greater detail. | |||

'''Stay the Course''' | |||
''Melyssa Perkins-Bui, Interfaction Editor Op-Ed – NovA.I., a Novaros division'' | |||
Indignation has taken over interfactional communication channels regarding our increased security protocols around Mimir. It seems that ensuring safety after tragedy is the least on the minds of some of our faction neighbors. Rest assured, the Federation remains unimpeded and follows the mandate for security we were entrusted with. Though the tragedy did happen under our watch, ill-timed and unfocused complaints about our role in ensuring the security of all concerned during this time of mourning would be better focused elsewhere. | |||
Having said all that, if Federation citizens wish us to revert to pre-MIEB security standards, we will. It will be Federation democracy that will decide the route we inevitably take on Mímir. Full stop. It will not be the Empire’s propaganda machine or the Union’s pleas for universal access that will decide anything…not until an investigation has ruled out sabotage. In the meantime, the good Dr. Helena Barnhardt will lead the MIEB Task Force in a bold new direction. Her competencies are beyond reproach and she understands more than most what is at stake. | |||
The Empire and Union would do well to assist us as we carry on managing the aftermath by respecting the security protocols we have set in place for good reason. | |||

''' | '''The Warmaster’s Query''' | ||
''Through the grace of His Excellency The Imperator, House Va-Halet.'' | |||
Transmission from Hakon Va-Halet | |||
Subjects of the Empire, | |||
You call me minister; I address you in my capacity as Warmaster. You have seen the Council’s latest dispatch, have you not? The Federation tightens access to Mímir–a foolish move, one that makes them look culpable in the Skłodowska disaster. I was first informed of this issue when the Minister of Trust himself demanded that I interject myself into the issue. This, I have done with due haste–though I would advise my colleagues to temper their demands if they do not wish a reminder as to why I was chosen as the bulwark of our great Empire. | |||
After extended discussions with Sector 2’s president Adonis and Tonocom Defence’s leader Donel Gladson, I have come to understand the Federation’s perspective. They say they fear that the wreckage of the MIEB’s headquarters is so complete that anything but the most careful investigation might ruin valuable forensic data. In truth, they are frightened. Frightened that we might plant evidence to demonstrate how unworthy they are of the leadership role they have been cast into. As if the Empire would play at such subterfuge. As if we couldn’t crush them, if that were the Emperor’s will. Now, the Union… | |||
But I veer away from what is important. That I understand this does not mean I agree with it. The Empire is not to be ordered about, least of all when it comes to neutral territory. Our vessels have every right to the space over Mímir, as the Ministry of Trust’s agents have every right to carry out analysis of their own on the planet’s surface. That the Federation’s forensic scientists are competent, this I won’t deny. Yet they are a dishonorable lot–it would not be beyond the pale that they falsify data that might otherwise reflect poorly on their faction. | |||
Yet honor complicates our response: our sovereign, may His Light shine down on us, gave his consent that we take part in the MIEB Task Force. Even though we have been slighted, pushed aside–don’t we have an obligation to follow? And besides, the truth comes to light sooner or later. Even if the Feds attempt to trick us, they will fail. They will give themselves away, as they always do. I might even live to see them admit a mistake–wouldn’t that be something? | |||
Before you is the following question: Shall we press the point and demand Imperial autonomy be shown the respect it justly deserves…or shall we honor our commitment to the MIEB Task Force and accept the Federation’s authority over this investigation? | |||
Your choice is the Empire’s choice. Honor this sacred duty, Imperials. | |||

'''A Most Public Disunity''' | |||
Fellow Unionites, | |||
I won’t mince words. The Federation’s possessive behavior with both Mímir and this investigation is threatening to provoke a knee-jerk reaction among many of us here aboard the Bastion. As the called-upon Speaker of the Vox’s Assembly, I have been forced to stop proceedings twice already to restore some semblance of order among our representatives. Considering the situation, it’s only natural, yet – I’ll say it – it’s time we put away our discontentment and examine the situation with some care. | |||
After Hayden’s death, it was only natural that a ship of her closest compatriots would make the journey to Mímir to pay their respects. Burial rites are not uniformly important across the Union but many of our tribes and clans have them; that her body is unrecoverable is besides the point. SNTNL custom dictates that planet-side losses should be honored. They deserve to continue their vigil, even in death. The clan members’ original plan was to land on Mímir’s surface and build a mound of whatever’s at hand near the scene of the Skłodowska crash. This was met with adamant refusal on the part of the newly deployed Tonocom fleet in the star system. | |||
The Federation is insistent that this order falls under the MIEB Task Force’s authority. In their words, the SNTNL landing threatens to sabotage the integrity of the Federal investigation, as–apparently--one of their government contractors, TANUS Robotiks, is making use of state-of-the-art forensic tech, which is supposedly very sensitive to outside disturbances. I swear, only the Federation would come up with tech that starts malfunctioning as soon as someone looks at it funny. | |||
The choice before us is the following: Do we defer to the Federation and order the SNTNLS to fall back until such a time as the Federation gives us its approval, or do we demand our autonomy in neutral territory be respected and give the SNTNLs the go-ahead to land despite the Federation’s protests? | |||
Join us as we chart the Union’s path forward. | |||
