I've been reading the thread and really enjoying it. Could you add me in as an Espionage Team Member of some kind?Added Space posted:Did we/are we going to get a response to the "sickle" message? I can't say much until that resolves. If I may offer my own two cents on the subject, I believe the message is somehow connected to the sudden unrest on Mars. After all, the colony has been expanding rapidly for quite some time now, and it seems odd that they've only recently begun to complain about lack of representation.

Thanks-I apologize for not knowing the specifics, but I'm glad you got me the position. Speaking of which... From: Dr. Snark, UNIN Operative To: UNIN Re: KRONOS and Mars The fact that the Federation has been actively planning an operation that would very likely have led to WWIII is extremely troubling, not to mention the fact that it was authorized at the highest levels. I feel that an expansion to our intelligence agencies would help us to prevent this kind of thing from happening in the future. I want the UN to win this cold war as much as the rest of you, but I don't want Earth to become a smoldering fireball before we do. That being said, if the Feddies are willing to resort to such desperate measures to harm us, we must be doing a good job. As for the unrest on Mars, I would like to ask permission to observe the situation in greater detail. If we could find a way to convince even a fraction of the population to come over to our side of their own free will, it would not only give us an advantage on Mars, but it would also devastate the Fedaration's public image. After all, what will the civilians believe if they see millions of people abandoning the Federation for the UN? Dr. Snark fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Jan 13, 2013 |

From: Operative Dr. Snark To: UNIN RE: Pavlo The fact that this man is the administrator of Titan will make it difficult to aquire any information on him, let alone getting to him. However, I believe we have a golden opportuinity to corner him with the Titan negotiations. While this idea is tenative, I propose using said negoatiations as an excuse to get him into a position where we can discuss this newfound information in private. Depending on how much mental fortitude this man has, we may be able to persuade him into giving us information by showing him the Sickle communication and name-dropping Lars Proen. However, if we do want to try something like this, I'd like to have a more complete psych profie on him. If he's known for being very strong-willed, this plan probably wouldn't work.

From: Operative Dr. Snark To: Whoever it many concern RE: Proen's information, and recent discoveries The information our team found was...disturbing. I'm amazed that we found it in such an unguarded area, but this plan of the Fedaration's is much more troubling. I hope that it is used wisely and effectively, for all of our sakes. As for the man we met...I believe he may be connected to the Sickle message as well, considering how this matches up with the message we got from it. Considering the circumstances, this may mean that Proen has a small cell working for or with him. And speaking as an intelligence agent, I am very worried that Proen is still willing to hold out on his information. From a logical standpoint, the only reason one would continue to press a deal like this is if they have something of equal value. At any rate, now might actually be a good time to ship him off to Mars, what with the rioting going on and all. Perhaps he could be the match that will light the fires of revolution there. ...I have a bad feeling about all of this. There's a bigger game being played here, and I don't know who the players are.

From: Operative Dr. Snark To: UN Council Re: Proen's fate and Saturn Something that has been bothering me ever since my team found those communications was how desperate the Feddies have been in trying to get us away from Saturn. I believe that there is something in that system that the Federation doesn't want us to know about. I can think of three possible scenarios for what they're trying to hide: 1. A base simliar to our Project ZEUS. This would make sense, but I have a feeling the truth is not quite that simple. 2. Some form of a WMD that would greatly tip the balance in their favor. However, said weapon would likely be either damaged or incomplete at this present time. This would be the worst case scenario. 3. Evidence of some crime against humanity that would destroy the Fedaration's reputation. This would be the best case scenario. At any rate, I would like to ask the man himself if he is willing to give us an answer on whether any of these theories are true. If the council is willing, we could guarantee his freedom after that.

Well, we've likely scared the poo poo out of the Feddies. Spectacular. On another note that may doom us all: To: Mr. Proen From: Operative Dr. Snark RE: Questions Greetings. I don't expect you to recognize my name-I only recently became an important member of the UN. I'm not sending this message to threaten you or create a bargain that favors my side. Nor am I trying to play "good cop, bad cop" with you. I am sending this message because I believe you have information that would greatly benefit the UN. At the moment, about half of my colleagues wish to free you, and the other half want to see you rot away in your cell. The main problem that some of the higher-ups have with you is that you haven't given us any information that really helps us. We knew that the Federation wanted Saturn since we signed a treaty almost completely eliminating UN presence there. The only thing we didn't know is how desperate they were to get us off of it. If you truly want to go free, you need to give us something we can work with. Something that would either threaten the Federation or protect us from them. Which leads me to my one, simple question: Why does the Federation want Saturn so badly? If you give us some form of an answer, even the vaguest of hints, I suspect that most everyone will be willing to let you go. Be forewarned, however; if you try to hide this information behind cryptic phrases, I sincerely doubt that anyone would be willing to free you. I assure you, that is not a threat; it is a simple fact. When you have made your decision, please let me know. Naturally, I will immediately be sharing anything you give me with my superiors. I do have one other request, though: I'd like to know everything you about Titan's administrator. Is he a coward, or strong-willed? I'd like to know more about the man. That is all.

Granted, now they know about the capabilites of them, but the fact that they are so worried is a VERY good sign. As such, we need to keep as much of the specific data on the Ghostbusters classified. I would recommend sending them false data that will have them underestimate their capabilites, if possible. If not, make up some ridiculous facts on them, and see if the Feddies bite.

From: Operative Dr. Snark To: UN Authorities Re: Hourglass The fact that the Feddies are trying to create their own verison of Project ZEUS doesn't surprise me in the slightest. What worries me is that Kozlov is willing to do anything to see that goal come to fruition. While we're going through the negotiations on Titan, I want everything he says recorded and analyzed. As for this "Hourglass" message, I would like to be given the go-ahead to send it. Considering the information we got from Sickle, I feel that any benefits outweigh the risks. I would give you the information as soon as I or my colleagues recieved it. And Proen...considering what he said, and that lying to us would gain him nothing, I believe I can establish the series of events that brought him to us: 1. Proen works for the Fedaration as an intel operative, which would explain how he knows so much and the usage of code phrases. He is given instructions on executing Operation KRONOS, but he presumably would have been put at risk by those plans. Despite this, Kozlov orders him to go through with it anyway. 2. Coming to the conclusion that seeking asylum with the UN would let him live longer, he uses the riots on Titan as a cover to get captured. This would also explain why he had been so cooperative with his hostages and Operation Blue November. 3. Prefering the prison sentence to being (actually) dead, he has been exchanging information with us for his freedom. Considering all of this, I want to suggest that we free him, but that he maintains contact with intelligence assets like myself OR he allows us to contact his intel network more easily. He's becoming too valuable for us to simply let go.

Should I inform him of our recent extrasolar interests and see if he latches on to that instead? He would be on a UN controlled world (where we could track him) and far away from the Feds. I know we discussed this before, but this seems like it would be the best possible option now. And does anyone have a go/no go for "Hourglass?"

To: UN Authorites From: Operative Dr. Snark Re: Hourglass Of all of the possible outcomes of the message, I was not expecting to learn that the Feds are working against their own people! However, this message gives us an INCREDIBLE opportunity, if we are willing to seize it. We have information that gives us information not only on the Fedaration's plans, but we have the ability to locate Fedaration agents on Mars! On its own, the Hourglass data is a godsend for our espionage efforts. At this point, I believe Proen has earned his freedom for that information alone. If he gives us harder evidence on the Feds' activies on Mars, we could go so far as to release to the public and turn the entire world against them! I will wait for higher opinions, but I am VERY excited for what we can accomplish in the future with this information.

We have no clue what they're civilian yards are making, for all we know in less then a month they'll unveil their own troop transport and use it to move men in and pacify the sector. My boys think that they'll let the situation escalate and let the garrison battalions from both sides take heavy damage if not be outright destroyed, so they can land some more offense oriented soldiers. While that is an interesting idea, the fact of the matter is that they already have planetary superiority by virtue of having a bigger population than we do. If they are trying to go for a land grab, it would be for control over the Belnar ruins, most likely. Even then, though, there's really no logical reason for them to do something like that-they have as much access to them as we do (and presumably similar luck with reactivations as well). That being said, even if they did try to completely control Mars, we could throw the Treaty of Mars in their face and make ourselves look better. For all we know, this may simply be trying to create an excuse to prevent the loss of their largest extraterrestial colony. ...Also, you might want to tell your boys to lay off the Spacechan and Spedditt...they have been proven to have detrimental psychological effects on their visitors.

From: Operative Dr. Snark To: UN Executives Re: Proen Debate If we're still hung up over whether he is or isn't a mole, remember that the document we got from Hourglass contained info on Federation agents' operations, code names, and communication methods. We could use those to try and capture an agent, therby verifying said data. Considering the timeframe for "Hourglass," it might be a good idea to move him to Mars, but still keep him in UN custody until his information is confirmed to be true. Incidentally bgreman, does the Hourglass document have any similarites with what the UN knows about Federation intelligence? And while I am far from an expert in economics, I feel that abandoning Venus is probably a bad idea, especially considering how TNE-rich it is. Perhaps we can quietly build up a sizable outpost there, then open it up to civilian immigration. Edit: vvv Well, when you put it like that, it sounds like a terrible idea.

To: Colonel SPERMCUBE.ORG From: Operative Prof. Snark RE: Lost Lives While you are talking with Proen, Colonel, casually mention that my predecessor's team was completly wiped out just after the Hourglass message was sent. And then inform him that since we've been unable to identify who is behind it, he is currently our number one suspect. If he takes the news calmly or tries to hide the truth behind cryptic doubletalk, then he is likely to have been behind it and should be disposed of. If he panics, then we know that he was not responsible. Either way, we can use this to find out what the truth really is. Edit: If it makes any difference, I recommend setting Proen loose on Mars. Last I checked, the Feddies were winning there anyway, so any chaos he incites would work to our advantage.

From: Operative Prof. Snark To: UN Authorites RE: Proen decision While we're torn apart over what to do with Proen (with the opinions being either "kill him" or "free him"), I would like to put forward a proposal for the Council. My idea is this: we let Proen board a transport to Mars, so he'll give us any information he knows as of right now. However, once he arrives at Mars, he will suffer from an unfortunate terminal accident. Preferably one that completely destroys his body. This way, we get the information we want and eliminate Proen as a potential threat in the future. Admittedly, blowing up his shuttle is also an option, but then we run the risk of civilian or UN casualties. This plan is risky however, as there is a potential Proen could avoid us. If all else fails, we can simply track him. For convienece's sake, this plan can be refered to as Red February. (Administrator TildeATH has begun underlining her words instead of italicizing them.

Well, considering that he wanted to give us new information ASAP, I based said plan around the idea that we would get what we wanted before we got to Mars. We can easily adjust it so that it takes place after he leaves UN custody on Mars, and we'll refuse to release him until he gives us what we want to know, even if it is fake intel. The main focus of this plan is simply getting Proen out of the picture for good.

Just some thoughts on the current situation: I remeber my predecessor said in his message to Proen that if he wanted to go free, we needed something that would validate our trust in him. Directly after that, we got the Hourglass intel and he told us what Fred wanted on Saturn and more about who was in charge there. If he really wanted to go against us, he could have just as easily given us the middle finger or hidden the truth behind cryptic statments. Instead, he not only cooperated with our questions, but opened up a new angle we could explore through Hourglass. And if he really is a intelligence mastermind, he never would have pulled the stunt that he did on Mimas; it was loud, public, and about as subtle as a rampaging elephant. Honestly, he's less of a spy and more of a lawyer-type, for lack of a better metaphor. He's not good at subtlety, but he's obviously proven himself to be an expert at knowing what to say and when to say it to get the best deals from others. If he is going to try something if we let him go, odds are our intel guys would hear about it fairly quickly. At any rate, I suspect he's smart enough to know that decieving us would be a very bad idea. We have thousands of people capable of searching for him. There aren't enough caves in the world that he could hide in if we came after him. And if he flees into Feddie territory or Free Mars, well, he's their problem then, not ours. Sky Shadowing posted:One question- what do we do if we vote to kill Proen and as we strap him into the chair for his execution, he spills everything? I doubt he'd do that, but his entire world view is that he is convinced we will never kill him, that he is in control. There's every chance when he realizes exactly how wrong he is he'll tell us everything we want to hear. If that occurs, it would depend on the information he gives us. I reccomend this: If he's been sabotaging us, he dies. If not, he goes free. Simple as that.

As of right now, we are treating this as if the UN itself is at war. Which means double-checking every one of our safehouses, less sleep, and most importantly, no one is to be trusted. God help us all. To: UN Authorites From: Operative Prof. Snark RE: Free Mars Considering that Proen has said that there's going to be a shootout between the FMM and Fred, and that tensions have been getting higher since the BFM's debut, I have no reason to doubt his information is vaild. At any rate, he has now offically become far too valuable to lose. The FMM, while dedicated, will get ripped to shreds by Fred if they don't have our help. I suspect Proen has plans in place to sabotage Fed forces, as well. Proen may be a bastard, but at this point he's become a USEFUL bastard. Like it or not, we need him, or Mars will have another reason to be called the Red Planet. More importantly, if the Feds lose Mars, it will be a devastating blow to their image, one that may give us the edge we've been desperately looking for. vvv As long as I don't have to deal with any legal reprecussions for that, I understand, sir.

The fact that we know more about the Feds' operations than they think is a massive advantage, and we should keep that information close to our chest for as long as possible. Edit: vvv She has a point. We need to make sure that our transport isn't being followed or tracked. Double Edit: Threw together a quick description of the Fedaration on the wiki. Needs expansion.

Aside from the fact that the Feddie commanders name-dropped him when this whole mess started, no.

If anyone asks, I have had absolutely nothing to do with the appearance or lack therof of Counselor Ynkling. And I don't know why he hasn't been here, either. In all seriousness, though, there's a 20-day grace period before the deputy completely takes over the position.

bgreman, I want to ask Korbalev how we can actually shore up Fred's defenses without losing face in front of the Martian populace. It seems like we'd shoot ourself in the foot if we tried to defend anything else besides our own assets. Also, is he willing to get us into contact with some of his fellow operatives? If we could get hard proof on what the Feds are doing here, it would be a major coup for our image, and possibly give us more options.

bgreman posted:"Do not misunderstand, Commander. I am not doing this out of some love for the UN, or hatred for the Federation, even if they have wronged me. Our agreement is that I work to end this conflict, and you release me to do so. After that, you will not see or hear from me again. "Er...I think you're jumping the gun a bit here, Korbalev. I wasn't asking for their Social Security numbers, I just wanted a way to get in touch with them like with Sickle and Hourglass. They can stay anonymous for all I care; their information would be far more useful anyway. "On that note, do you mind telling us what the original Fed plan was and what your plans were? Not that it really matters at this point, but I admit I'd like to know what the Feds hoped to gain from starting a civil war in their own territory. "Also, since you seem to have sources in the BFM, can you give us any clues as to what their tactics and strategic movements would be? It would greatly aid our incoming reinforcements. You don't have to give us their entire strategy, but we'd like to minimize casualties and intel would help us do that."

The eggheads would love to take a look at that thing. Honsetly, depending on what your crew did to it, they may be able to qualify as researchers!

bgreman posted:"Allow me to make something clear, Commander. I will not be giving you any more assistance than is necessary to ensure you don't bring this situation crashing down on us all. I will tell you nothing about my assets. This will be done on my terms, or you had might as well return me to my cell on Callisto. "Since you clearly know this Soman, I'd like to know more about him. Where he came from, what he was doing here, and most importantly, how he thinks. If the BFM has no real strategy, then maybe we can manipulate its leader instead. Also, I get the feeling that the Feds want to see him vaporized, preferably by their orbiting ships. Is he valuable? Would it be worth the effort to try capturing him? "And...if you have any concieveable way of delaying or preventing the Feds from executing an orbital strike, I'd like to hear it. I'm worried that this might be a way for the Feds to "accidentally" destroy some of our TNE troops." From: Operative Prof. Snark To: UNIN Personnel RE: Fred in orbit I really do not like the idea of having an entire fleet waiting in orbit for the order to bomb Mars into oblivion. Is there any way we could possibly get them to back off? My espionage instincts tell me that this could be a trap: the Feds would "accidentally" launch an orbital strike on a UN position, destroying some of our valuable TNE troops. Before this mess started, that idea would have stayed in the realms of paranoia. Now, though...it's a very real and very dangerous possibility.

From: Operative Dr. Snark To: UNIN Command RE: Orders Considering the situation at hand, is there anything we agents should be doing while we're waiting for the reinforcements to show up? Or should we try to stay hidden and keep Korbalev safe? I'd like to have more official orders as soon as possible. Perhaps we could perform recon ops to help berryjon's incoming forces, although that is just a suggestion. Bremen posted:If I may slip in a point of analysis; most battleplans were drawn up with the idea of Earth as the battleground, where the thick atmosphere means that orbital bombardment can only consist of nuclear missiles. This means that both sides would suffer greatly from the collateral damage and radiation resulting from even a small bombardment. If this is true, then we need a way to get Fred's fleet out of attack range. Having them hovering right above our forces is simply too great of a risk for us.
