The Chicxulub Crater debates

[FGRaptor]

After a few days without many words, but much seen activity, from the Northern Kingdom embassy, the ambassador at the crater, Lord Thomas of Ashford, 1st Baron of Ashford, finally stepped up to the microphone again for an announcement.

"With all the current revelations and announcements by other nations, the Northern Kingdom and Her Majesty, Queen Louise the First, needed time to analyze the current situation. We have more and more new nations, legitimate or not, suddenly turning up on the big stage. With the aggressive or uncooperative stance of some nations the current situation is starting to look dire.

We are still glad that positive progress is made as well, especially with the upcoming union between the Japanese Alliance and the Northern Kingdom. We hope that we may be a shining example to the rest of the world and that we may disclose more details of this union to the public soon.

In the name of Her Majesty, Queen Louise the First, I am also glad to announce that the Northern Kingdom agrees to the International SolSpace Treaty. We hope that this treaty will carve the peaceful way for humanity into space.

I and Her Majesty, Queen Louise the First, also hope that the other nations will reconsider their drastic positions. It should be clear to everyone that we should work together to proceed into the future."

2043

As 2043 nears its end, Japanese Alliance ambassador Sugawara Masakiyo steps forward once more. Just prior to this public appearnce, a plane arrived from Japan which was greeted by the commanding officers of the Japanese military currently present at the Chicxulub crater, as well as the ambassador Masakiyo himself, the Korean delegate and the entire staff of the Japanese embassy.

"Honourable ambassadors from fellow nations of Earth,

The Japanese Alliance doesn't welcome the obviously aggressive stance the New Zion Defense League brings to bear on its western "expansion", especially as the inhabitants are organising themselves and showing disagreement with the New Zion Defense League's plans. However, the message and tone of the Yahoo Coalition which might or might not be received by most trans-newtonian superpowers made it clear that weapons of mass destruction might be in their possession and their will to use it against not only the aggressor but the entirety of Earth. Due to the complexity of this situation and whether the "leaders" of the Yahoo Coalition can or cannot do what they promise the Japanese Alliance will not intervene in this conflict.

In regardance to the Shadowveil, we feel the need to express that the Chicxulub crater is international and neutral territory. While every nation maintains a small military presence I believe to speak for more than just the Japanese Alliance when I ask you most politely to keep the embassy a civilian structure. However, every nation representing itself here shows the will to parley, which is a good sign.
The same welcome goes to the New Dutch Republic, of course.

I wish to conclude this announcement with a definite positive message and with delight I can announce that the International SolSpace Treaty is now considered finalised and will be deposited with the Chicxulub Embassies. Copies of it will be sent to each nation present at the crater, although official signing will have to be done here by either the head of state, the minister of foreign affairs or an explicitly authorised representative.
The largely positive responses we received upon our latest draft made us conclude the treaty nearly unchanged from the last version I did present just early this year. The only notable difference is the new Article 2, which exempts Earth from any restrictive regulations imposed on military presences by the treaty.
This addition was suggested by the W., W., & Sons Legal Consultation Firm, but we did not deem it necessary until recently. However, closer inspection revealed that without such an exclusion the treaty would make most standing militaries illegal on Earth."

Prime Minister Seiko can be seen escorted by a small entourage of guards and the two ambassadors of the Japanese Alliance. The guards take discreet positions without attracting much attention and without making a public statement Seiko heads for the Treaty and signs it as the first nation in the name of the Japanese Alliance, which is answered by a small applause from largely Japanese staff nearby and a flashlight of photographers (which coincidentally are also mostly Japanese). She leaves as quickly as she had appeared, although paying a brief courtesy visit to the Northern Kingdom embassy, albeit without an entourage of guards.

2043

Johannes Justus of the Chamber of Aristocrats steps forward to speak at the crater:
'The New Dutch Republic feels saddened to announce that they will be unable to sign the International SolSpace Treaty. In stead, the republic has made, together with ot's Canadian and Zionic [ooc](?)[/ooc] allies, a different plan. That plan is the Trade League. The Trade League's intent is to promote international, even interstellar, trade and ensures the safety of all of it's traders. While we certainly appreciate the attempts made to preserve the peace, the almost communist appearance of the treaty makes it impossible for a nation that has any intent to trade or colonize outer space.

While the Trade League will permit it's members to sign this treaty, it certainly does not encourage it.'

note: Johannes Justus has been kicked out of the Chamber for basing the NDR's opinion about the Treaty on out-dated facts.

2043

Just as the announcement of the finalisation of the SolSpace Treaty reached the Northern Kingdom Embassy, a fleet of three private jets started from the Pendragon Palace's own airfield. As they arrive at the crater, two of the jets reveal a total of two dozen guards. From the other jet a dozen female assistants and Queen Louise the First of the Northern Kingdom can be seen emerging. The guards guard her on her way to the Embassy, a dozen on either side of the Queen and her assistants, who are then greeted by all the staff of the Embassy standing outside.

While a dozen guards follow the Queen and her assistants inside, the other take positions outside, guarding the perimeter. The Embassy becomes especially busy on this day. The Queen does not make a public statement and can only be seen leaving the Embassy after the visit from the Japanese Alliance's Prime Minister Seiko.

i'd tap that.
"i know what you are thinking, and no, the answer is no"
"bu..."
"no. it would certainly be a problem. And no trying to collect dna to make clones, no no."
"fine." always ruining his fun. his father was a master in this.
"what do we do about the treaties?"
"oh...just do nothing. they didn't actually ask for us. and we are fine as we are so, no need. when the scientist will research good enough jumping theory we will bail out of the solar system, to avoid conflicts of sort"
"yes father."
"good boy, now do me a favour and make a public announcement..."

some time later
The original himself begins a public announcement
"we think it's far better to avoid misunderstandings. so i'll clearly say that while we do not care about wherever or not the yahoo! coalition or the new zion defense league kill each other or not, do something or not, or simply go walking on a beach hand in hand, we would like to point out that in the event of casualties among our people, since some of them are actually in the area, we will retaliate. So...just to make it sure...first look, then check, then in the end shoot. We are actually recalling our compatriots, and we hope they all make it...as i'm sure everyone wants them to stay safe."
that said, the original coughs a little, and then goes on.
"on another note, do not be worried about possible explosion in the italian mountains, we are testing new types of missiles, and trans-newtonian materials tend to be a bit...ah...volatile. But no harm should come to any nation. just, if you hear the booms, it's us." and that too was done.
that said, the Original left the press conference.
In silence his personal guards followed. those creepy helmets always on to hide their all identical faces...

Johannes Justus, formerly known as Johannes Justus of the Chamber of Aristocrats:
'I appear to have based my statement on an different copy of the treaty,. The Trade League wholeheartedly supports the International SolSpace Treaty and encourages members to sign the treaty.'

 

[Destra]

 Stepping up to counter the Japanese point, her helmet removed and no where in sight, High Admiral Daala speaks to the assemblage, " The invaders do not recognize neutral ground.    They do not know mercy, nor civility.    Should they return here we do not intend to die unprepared and ill equipped.    While we will not station a large army here we will be protected.   " An unspoken sentence but could easily echo in the minds of others, "Protected against other nations as well .   .   .   "

 Looking around, "As for the treaties, currently high command is deciding and has not yet gotten back to me.    I shall inform you of their answer when it arrives.    That is all.   " High Admiral Daala then steps down.   \
