Hey hey hey!

Apparently Degra is busy, so the PM has moved on to the rest of us.

Okay, it seems I got good news, bad news, and worst news. First, the worst news. D. Vedi is dead.

He has to be dead, because I sent him a reply, and he has not replied. It is rather likely somebody has killed him. I'll send you two emails that I have sent to him, to let you know of the good news and the bad news, but I need you to be careful. Whoever is responsible for D. Vedi's disapperance may attempt to strike back at you.

shylilembrace, I was unable to get back to you during the siege, but rest assurd, you can still help me out, especially with the 'bad news', and I hope to be in more contact with you guys as all we have to do now is mop up those still loyal to the dictator. I'm going to need all the 'Western' assistance I can get..
***
Email 1:

It's over. It's over.

We finally broke through!

The enemy still manned the barricades, killing off our best guys, but then we used fire to break the barricades, and everything fell into place.
I can't talk right now...but all these files that hasn't been burnt, we're recovering them as quickly as we can! We can finally eat tonight! We're going to live. I'm so glad.

The so-called 'President' (actually genocidal dictator) is dead, killed by my very hands. But I know loyalists are out there, and we still have to deal with The Database. I'm going to contact you later, but thank you Mr. Vedi. You saved us.
***
Email 2:

I got some bad news.

I was leading some people to raid the ammo depot, when some of our fellow freedom fighters stopped us. They said, "Why do we use the weapons of criminals? Why can we not trust our own weapons?" I told them that we needed the guns, but these fellow freedom fighters refused, screaming about how guns are immoral, and that if we use them, we'll become like "them". A few of these people even began criticizing me for using moltov cocktails, and claimed that it would have been far better if the entire army just used their hands.

I had to back down, leaving the weapons in the hands of the "Anti-Gun Activists". But it does indicate the unity of this Front is in danger. And, I don't want this Front to fall apart, we need to present a united front against genocide. But I can't help but think the Anti-Gun Activists are a tad...idiotic. How am I supposed to deal with these fools?


Erm. No idea how to "deal with these fools". Suggestions?

Actually really simple. And mean. Find the loyalists and attack solely with the anti-guns. The attrition should either wipe out the whiners or force their hands.

No offense taken. I didn't think to share his aim. Most likely he's only talking to me.

He talks on aim and I figured you wouldn't want to read through aim logs because they're long so I just gave highlights, but I'll post them. (Trillian is awesome.) If you want to talk to him his aim is: Igorhorst. He's not online very often. He's supposed to be trying out this "cure".

If what I'm reading is right, it looks like there might be a three way split.
The infected, the rebels, and the remnants of the government. That could get complicated.

It seems more to me that the rebels ARE the infected but we still have three groups. The infected, the government or whatever it stands for now and the "network" or the researchers.

EDIT: I was away for a few days so I wasn't there to get Igor's ims. But I also haven't gotten an email back from the Government or whatever's left of it. I'm currently talking to Igor. Things look really bad. I'll post the log when I'm done. So far the basics are: The cures worked, the "cured" infected were angry. They've built clinics to reinfect themselves. We're running out of cures and no we can't put it in the air. And! We (Igor, his team, me, probably some of you) are The Database. Igor claims they haven't hurt any of the people.

Why so cereal, can you ask them why they're angry with The Database? I'd ask but I'm definitely on Igor's side so I don't think they'd take too well to me.

I can ask, but I'm pretty sure they aren't. They recruited the Database to help kill the president.

ETA- I asked, waiting for response.

me: hello
i apologize.
i was away
any news?
Sent at 7:45 PM on Thursday
Freedom: Well...
The rebels have gotten angry at us.
These anti-gun activists don't want to harm us, but they think that we have became just like the Imperialists we sought to get rid of. They're leaving.
Sent at 7:47 PM on Thursday
Freedom: I got your email.
me: wait, i thought you were the rebels? There's a third group?
Freedom: Our plan is to get rid of the dictator's final forces, and then live together in peace.
The rebels being those who hate guns.
Since the President's dead, and there's only minor resistance left, I think that...well...the Freedom Front is now running the country.
me: And was this what you wanted?
have you come to us to help set up a new government?
Freedom: No, no!
I came to you guys because I want you to stop the Database.
To stop those researchers who were assisting this corrupt government, who were committing terrible crimes, who was threatening to unleash great evil.
You did it! The government's dead! The Database is gone!
me: Congratulations to you. This victory doesn't affect us as much, so you can imagine my lack of ecstatic behavior.
Freedom: What about the joy of helping the good guys?
Together, we fought and we trimpuhed.
You honestly didn't want a bunch of imperialists committing genocide...I hope.
me: Of course not.
But, considering our distance to the situation, it doesn't affect us, as I've said.
That said, is anything else needed of us?
Freedom: I need to find the leaders of the Government's military and The Database.
They need to die.
The Database is busy trying to harm our guys.
They are using terrible weapons on us. Terrible weapons from within those...relics.
There are treatments, of course. We're opening up as many clinics as we can, but I don't want The Database using those weapons as a way to escape.
Sent at 7:56 PM on Thursday
me: Alright, so, I shall log this new task. What information do we have on location, men needed, etc
Freedom: We got...er...um...
50.
me: 50!?
Freedom: Yeah, those anti-gun activists really got very popular.
I think they might win the elections.
me: Out of 10,000 people, you only have 50 people supporting guns?
Freedom: Well, many people are upset about using guns.
I'm telling them that it is an mean to the ends, but they would rather use their fists and their mouths
Um. By mouths, I mean talking, you know.
me: Of course.
Have they left already? Perhaps there is time enough to launch a campaign to win them back?
Sent at 8:01 PM on Thursday
Freedom: I know they have left down to the southern part of the capital, and they're aiming to find any government forces in the area. Though I have heard reports they are skirimishing with other nations that border us.
me: Wait, so they're launching attacks on others, just...without weapons?
Freedom: Yeah.
me: This might seem strange, but...
have they been acting strange?
Other than their resistance to weapons, any odd characteristics, phyiscally or emotionally?
Freedom: Nope. None that I am aware of.
me: Hmm.
Sent at 8:04 PM on Thursday
Freedom: Do you know of any way to reunite us?
me: I shall consult the others.
Freedom: If you think that can be done.
me: How long until they leave the general area?
Sent at 8:07 PM on Thursday
Freedom: I don't know, I think there are at least a couple of people remaining in the city, to keep an eye on watch
Sent at 8:09 PM on Thursday
me: Hmm, good, a way to contact them. Alright, I shall consult with the others, and we shall contact you when a consensus is reached.
Freedom: Thank you Greg!
Sent at 8:12 PM on Thursday

Freedom is offline. Messages you send will be delivered when Freedom comes online.

Looks like the games over. I got a message from the pm asking how we wanted it to end, with a bang or a whimper

new email.

Quote:
We're out of the country and safely in exile in France. We attempted to find Igor Horst, but we saw a heavy conceration of the Infected near the area and so fled. I don't think we have the manpower to fight them off.

I don't know how long it would take for all of Africa to be infected, but I'm alerting the French intelligence. I am hopeful that the Western powers will intervene covertly in order to stop this infection from spreading. Maybe some Covert Operation men may be deployed into the area, and secret bombings to blow up as many Infected as we possible can.
