As of yesterday, at 01h00, the army have staged a coup in Blogia and overthrown its democratic regimes. They claim legitimacy for this act on the basis that the Ansible was sabotaged by the pre-crisis elite, on the orders of otherwise unspecified alien impostors. It may be that there is more to the situation than a transparent ruse and a naked power-grab. But in the new Blogia we will never know. The boot of repression already weighs upon our shoulders, and there will be no peace for us here.
We have commandeered a small fleet of ships; the Harbourmaster is a friend of ours. We intend to leave Blogia, and soon, to build a new life for ourselves, in a place where we have freedom from oppression. We cannot linger long. The Harbourmaster has power over his domain but the eye of the military cannot be deflected forever. We intend to seek asylum with the Empire, and perhaps find a new planet to settle. If you wish to join us, then travel by night, with haste. If you chose to stay on Blogia then we wish you good luck. We suspect that you will need it.
Per the discussion on Yonah’s DoV, it appears that an unfortunate piece of wording may have rendered his victory illegitimate. If that is the case, then my power of 30 would be the greatest in the final Cycle of the dynasty, granting me victory.
This DoV does not presume the outcome of the other, which, if it passes, will cause this one to automatically fail. But as the voting is currently going against Yonah it seems sensible to have the backup option ready, so as to reduce downtime.
Clucky: he/him
