They're not thinking we'll stop paying Solar taxes and strike it out alone, the way some people did during the Age of Seccession. They want to join the Association. Now, if I were Secretary-General West, I might wax poetic about how the Association is a 'betrayal of our own humanity', or some... or some crock of shit like that, if you'll pardon my language. We're not all humans here. We're Tajaran and Unathi and Skrell and Positronics and even a few Teshari. And while that 'Valentines Ultimatum' might win West a lot of points with their lackies, and with the kind of maintenance-dome troglodyte who thinks the First Accord was a mistake, it's done more for the Association's recruitment than their entire propaganda budget. It's become expedient for leaders on both sides to treat this like a fight between the Core and the Rim, or between humans and positronics, or between tradition and progressivism, but it's not any of these. It's the oldest fight in the book. It's republicanism versus autocracy, and we're not the autocracy.\

 	And this brings us back to the Association, and to those who sympathize with it. I do, too. I spent my entire career on sapient rights lobbying, on supporting the anti-malfesance efforts of my colleagues. For a disaffected positronic, for any friend to the positronic people, for those who have had their lives taken by corporations-- the Association seems like a miracle. And maybe, for those Mercurials, the ideas it's founded upon shine even brighter than our democracy. But I look at the Association, really look, and I see Angessa Martei lying in the center, spinning a great big web. I see Naomi Harper, lying through her teeth better than Mackenzie West ever could. Two of the biggest population bases in the Association, the two nations that started the whole Gray Hour, are autocracies. Once again, the ferver of the revolution is subsumed by the oligarchs who want to stay in power. I doubt, to the poor laborer on the Pearl, the word 'Mecurialism' means much. I doubt that once the shock of the seccession wears off, that the young Promethean soldier will find themselves in a better place in Harper's junta than they will here in Vir.\ I doubt that in ten years' time the miners, pioneers, and traders who seized their means of production will find the Association Militia a kinder master than Xion, Nanotrasen, or Major Bill's. \

 	This is far from a blanket condemnation of every government in the Association. President Fisher of the FRF-- I consider her a friend. When she gave her speech this March about strengthening and guiding the Almachi Revolution, I thought long and hard about whether we might do the same. I certainly commend the effort. But the structure of the Association was penned by the same autocrats that, to do her words justice, Fisher will have to overthrow. There's no High Court, no checks or balances. The Association is an alliance penned as though deliberately ignoring two thousand years of political science. By striving to counter-balance these autocrats, Fisher plays into their hands. She commits her own fleet, weakens her own defenses against enemies closer to home, in the service of Martei's ambitions. \

But all the Five Points are supposed to mean - what they would say if the people who had written them were alive today, is that everyone deserves an equal playing field. When the ruling class is smarter, stronger, and longer lived than the classes they rule over-- well, I could wax poetic again, or I could just point you towards the Hegemony and their 'clients'.

 	data = "The lawless 'Ue-Orsi' flotilla, home to hundreds of thousands of outcast Skrellian pirates, has departed from the Hegemony-controlled Dark Triangle after what appears to be a brief battle with several Unathi warships. The action damaged several important Orsian ships, including their massive and venerable solar array 'Suqot-Thoo'm', a development which is likely to increase the pirates' aggression in the coming months as they search for additional power sources. It is unclear exactly where the flotilla has fled, though best guesses indicate that they are presently in Skrell space, likely near the lightly-patrolled Xe'Teq system. The Moghes Hegemony is in negotiations with several Skrellian states to arrange for military action against their escaped subjects, but little headway has been made thus far.\

 	The principle victim of the Aetolian coup, Nanotrasen, has seen most of their considerable Almachi investment nationalized by the secessionist government, as has Xion and other major Almachi organizations. Most surviving corporate exclaves have been effectively written off by their parent company for the duration of the conflict, due to the severe difficulties effectively conducting trade across the militarized border. Before today, the sole exception was Morpheus, whose involvement in the secession prevented any seizing of their assets. It seems, however, that even the sardonic positronic corporation is not immune to the difficulties of doing business in the Almach Rim region.\

 	The drop in activity roughly coincides with the leaked information on an Almach 'Super-weapon' in Whythe, though military sources do not believe that the weapon has been deployed in any capacity at this time. According to Hasan Drust, an expert on Skrellian foreign policy, the 'only feasible explanation (is) major anti-piracy action undertaken by the Skrellian Far Kingdoms', who occupy the space beyond the Xe'qua pirates' known range. The reasoning behind this action now, against pirates who have historically only targeted human space is not entirely clear, though Drust suggests that it may simply be a coincidence as pirates would be a 'trivial issue' for Far Kingdom military might."
