if the UT balks at that for whatever reason, we could always declare it extra-solar lifeforms or intelligences, since Facility is a proper citizen of our solar system.

Why would we need to report on facility? I think it is quite clear that it is a citizen of Mars at this point and certainly not an alien. Any new space horrors we meet can be introduced to Putin though.

Besides, it says "as soon as practical" and we all know how slow bureaucracy can be.

We totally are in the clear keeping Facility a secret for two reasons: 1. Physically Facility predates human civilization, & therefore is most definitely an archaeological site whose discovery falls under section 6 of the Ranganui treaty. 2. Mentally Facility was a near-sentient computer program when we encountered it. It only became sentient after it was exposed to that extra-solar data dump. While physically constructed outside Sol (we assume) it nevertheless became a true life-form inside the Solar system & is therefore not an extra-solar intelligence.

drat that second point is actually pretty drat ironclad. Earth seems to love playing by the letter rather than the spirit of our deals, I'm all too happy to return the favor.

Nevets posted:We totally are in the clear keeping Facility a secret for two reasons: Point 2 is essentially why I argued for "extra-solar intelligence" if they balk at us specifying new contact. Facility, as it is, was "born" in Sol. Yes, not by human hand, but that isn't pertinent if all Solar life is excluded anyway.

And if they start asking questions about why we're so worried about Sol, frame it as us trying to be CERTAIN they're not trying to cut our legs out from under us by somehow edge casing our completely necessary organism grow labs on Mars to try and force us into importing from Terra. That'd be paranoid enough for them to buy it.

Facility is not a Xeno intelligence, you infidels, it is the God of Sol, or at least certain upstart religions claim it so. As a divine being, the treaty does not pertain to Facility any more than it pertains to Jesus or Thor. It's not really possible to say where a god is from but saying it is not from here is ridiculous It's been here longer than anatomically modern humans and certain upstart and very reputable religions would claim it invented time and space itself. I'll be happy to explain all this to UT if called upon. Not in person though, of course. I'm simply too busy with ecumenical duties.

I've changed my mind, I will not volunteer to be our liaison to the TFS. In fact, I would consider it a punishment duty fit only for a dishonorable cur who is a disgrace to Mars and no threat at all to either Terra or any shadowy secret societies that may or may not exist. There, now that Gridlocked and his masters have been fooled by my cunning deception, I can be assigned to the position and build Full Space Communism Now without being seen as a threat until it's too late for the bourgeoisie to react

Remind me again why we agreed to EQUAL tonnage with the Terrans in OUR system without a reciprocal tonnage agreement in Nova Sol? Because that means they can park a battlefleet in our system, and have reinforcements come through once they clear the nearspace stations. Also whee! Back to jumping. IT IS THOUGH A THOUSAND MOUTHS CRY OUT IN DISAPPOINTMENT AT THE LACK OF BLOOOOOD. Soon my pretties. Soon.
