"Oh?

A contract signed under duress is not a contract, and Akras is basically the definition of duress."

[~Neri]

"Frankly the only reason they're signing under duress is because you people keep botching diplomacy horrifically. As for Terraside Interns, those are willing workers who willingly signed up to work for the company because they knew the quality of life was better than what they'd have elsewhere. Also some of them are clones. Most of them are clones."

[TheBiggerFish]

"The cloned ones are fine.  Just not the non-cloned ones.

...I'm going to need to start doing diplomacy, aren't I."

[~Neri]

"Mhm."

[TheBiggerFish]

"I'll put it on the list right after 'explore the unknowable within the Void'."

[S34N1C]

"I think I might be able to "diplomance" with some villages. I think they might respond better to a native who joined Akras of his own volition _{sort of}."

[~Neri]

"Next time we encounter a village, you're free to try."

[LordPorkins]

"My group would like to say that it is willing to revive any and all of your casualties. As for authority, I simply had to discuss with some other members before making a. Decision. Should you join us, we can offer medicine, weapons, and things beyond your wildest dreams. Barring that, we simply ask that you allow us to carry on with our actions unmolested. Again, I formally apologize for the idiots."

Frazz comms Tal again

"Hey Tal, can we give them John? They'd probably like that. Also it would be a good show of goodwill."

[~Neri]

"No. John did exactly what he was designed to do. Punishing him for fulfilling his purpose is an utterly futile endeavor."

[TheBiggerFish]

"No. John did exactly what he was designed to do. Punishing him for fulfilling his purpose is an utterly futile endeavor."

"Was his purpose not to be diplomatic, then?"

[~Neri]

"He decided he wanted to try his hand at diplomacy and did it the only way he knew how. No. He was not bred for diplomacy. He was bred for war."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Let me restate.  His stated purpose on that mission was to be diplomatic, which he would have had examples of.  He failed in so doing.  Some sort of remedy would not go amiss."

[JaxtalMK2]

"Is that so.... what was that, some kind of sending magic?" He'd go silent for a few more long moments, thinking over the options. "Alright, send whoever you send to change the flags over. I'll ride back to town. The boss died in those explosions, so all I have to do is make a claim, then beat down anyone who says different." He'd look up at Frazz, speaking calmly. "One final request. As it sounds like you're not to give us that shameful commander who caused this, I wish to be allowed to join this military group of yours personally. Perhaps I'd be able to stop another situation like this.

[~Neri]

"I intend to run a compulsory 'how to diplomance' course later. That ideally will result in a reduction of fuckups."

"Acquire data on the prospective employee, skillset and so on. Make no promises. And clarify that the one responsible for the slaughter was not a commander but rather a construct bred for war, state it didn't know any better. It's not quite the truth but it's close enough."

[LordPorkins]

"Gladly. We need people who know the lay of this land.
