A'ki, Social Leader of the Cr'yan Collective, thought hard. She had just been in contact with Mat'hel, the military lead and was raising up a militia that support the Cr'yan's less violent part of the order. They would not go out and meet the opposition. If they came, they would meet resistance all the way, but now it was her turn to end this, hopefully with no bloodshed.
''Comm's, patch me through to Priest Ko'sol.'' She calmly asked the yan manning the comms.
''He's not responding, A'ki-no.'' He responded.
''Then open channel!''
''To all Cr'yan that may be listening. Priest Ko'sol has indeed, right on certain accounts. Our current expansion HAS been too damaging to mother nature, made a near necessity from businesses being too greedy. However, the violence he extorts is not with our kind, not since the days of Civil Wars of the Cr'yan nearly 100 years ago. I have been in discussions for many months now, with investors and builders, and have recently reached an agreement. We will build all new farms, mines and spaceports around the local ecosystems. We have long used the techniques passed down upon us by our ancestors. This recent shift away was never welcomed at the highest order, and will return to that way of building, no matter the cost. What we have built recently should remain as a symbol of a direction we so nearly took, one down the path of destruction of our planet.''
A'ki paused for a second, preparing for the last statement:
''We hope this calms any discontent. We hope you can see the peaceful path that we all wish to see. Soon, we will be exploring the vastness of space firsthand, an experience we have waited for so long, and an opportunity for expansion. But we will always keep in mind any planet's health, as we always have done. This is your Social Leader, A'ki-no, signing out.''
The message was done. Mat'hel was in the middle of recruiting loyalists and preparing a defense he wished he would never have to use. The response from the Priest would decide whether the Cr'yan Collective enter space exploration with bloodshed, or whether Cr'yan can remain peaceful and united.
(Basic premise. I am suggesting I either pay more Industrial to build Mines, Farms, Smelters and Spaceports, or they take 2 turns to build, both to represent the increased effort it will take to work said buildings into the environment without doing any damage. I wish this to take place regardless of the Priest's response :3 )
I'm'a put in my build orders in a second.
