Surrender immediately to the Spartans for the glory of mankind. It's a really good plan.

To: Nwabudike Morgan <morgan@morgan.com> From: Corazon Santiago <colonel@lacedaemon.net> Subject: Intel Well met, Morgan. In the interest of fostering a strong friendship between our two peoples, I have assembled a brief video summary that will provide you with a tactical understand of the Gaian military. Providing intelligence on the Gaian forces, if you may call them that, is something of a tiresome chore. As such, from one leader to another, I recommend strongly that your people invest in the following manner; Energy 3, Labs 3, Psych 4. I assure you that your officers will need as much psychological training as possible to try to cipher the absolute madness that is the Gaian military agenda. If relations between our factions continue to improve, I shall see to it that future intel is provided to you. May the friendship between the Morganites and Spartans last forever! -Colonel Santiago Attachment: GaianMilitaryDrill(2139)

Spartan Memos To: [command mailing list] From: Corazon Santiago <c.santiago@sparta.sec> Subject: Scouting Reports Comrades- We must not let ourselves become overconfident after our recent victory. While their exact role in the mind worm attacks on our camps remains a mystery, you can all rest assured that Skye and her ilk are working tirelessly to increase their control over the monsters. I doubt that the Gaians would unleash the worms on their own citizens in the Greenhouse settlement. Nevertheless, all officers stationed there would do well to remind their troops to maintain standard precautions even within city limits. Scouts have infiltrated the outskirts of Gaia's Landing and have sent their reports on their military progress. We can expect a counter attack before the end of the year. See attachment A. The Morganites appear to be staying out of our war. I have encouraged our diplomats to remain friendly and work on solidifying an alliance. Our elite Spartan units shall prevail over any enemy, but it would be foolish to turn away from Morganite backing. And yes, it is true that Morgan has placated to the demands of his wealthy peers, giving them voice in governing the faction. Rest assured that little has changed. Spies have sent recordings of government strategy meetings in Bushnell Center (see attachment B). You will find their activity to be trivial and idiotic. The rich elites only play about, pretending to have the mandate of the demos while they ensure their own interests are met. Let them imitate Athens of old. If they threaten war with us we will remind them of the Peloponnese. You are the walls of Sparta. -Colonel Santiago Attachments: A.gaiaslanding441df.pdf, B.bushnellrallypt4 Colonel Corazon fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Feb 3, 2015 |

Night10194 posted:Also screw Santiago, in every game I've ever played you can't trust her. She's Planet's Montezuma! I've always had the biggest problems with Miriam and Lal. Then again, I usually play as a super militant Gaian faction so that probably puts Santiago at bay.

Its been awhile since I've read SMAC's prelude but wasn't Garland's assassin unaffiliated with any of the factions? Though it would make sense if everyone else thought the rear end in a top hat Spartans were responsible.

nweismuller posted:It's unknown who was behind the assassination, but many people have been assuming that the Spartanreservationsolved. Somehow. I always figured it was them or Yang. Santiago is kind of a straightforward baddie who was making some attempt at getting what she wanted without killing everyone whereas Yang strikes me as a more nuanced fucker with less reservations about murdering dudes

Night10194 posted:Out of curiosity, why DO you think Santiago picked 'Colonel' for her title? My guess has always been it projects authority while still being sort of 'Field Grade' to suggest she is, herself, still a warrior. This but she is very active in combat in the prelude. She's not adverse to putting herself in danger along with her soldiers. I doubt shes in the field on the Planet but I figure she'd be willing if need be. I always figured she really did have the complete loyalty of her troops due to this as opposed to a tinpot dictator wearing their rank as a fake badge.

Unload My Head posted:The prelude actually goes out of it's way to show that the assassin was unaffiliated. Poor Lal. Your wife is dead and no one gives a poo poo about your UN charter. Also you're number one on Yang's hit list.

Unload My Head posted:Yeah, the story does have a lot of variations from the game. Yang is a doctor and not the XO and I seem to remember Morgan being a stowaway as well. I think Yang was in charge of security and Santiago his underling gone rogue. Consistency.  Night10194 posted:Well, yeah. Like I said, take Wil's hatred of her (and Carl's before him) with a grain of salt. It's a passed down thing based on Carl's experiences on old earth at the end of its life and a generalized suspicion, rather than necessarily a reflection of Planet's realities. Santiago is a giant rear end in a top hat so everyone should have a good reason to hate her. She always ruins my no-war playthroughs

Swarms of minions you say? --- Spartan Report - 2249HIVE Intel continues with little headway. Network is nearly impenetrable. Few agents able to gain entry into Hive communities. Military drill (see attachment) observed by Sgt. Vargas suggest excellent organization between large units of well-disciplined soldiers. Reliance on speed and numbers to stun and overwhelm opponent.
