I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

Tapper, since Blend doesn’t seem to want our proposed racial swap, we might be interested in you acquiring our antivirus. After we assimilate Biomes.

I never said I wasn't interested, just that I want to hold on to my racial for a couple more rounds. Not that I mind if you really want to go elsewhere, but you're definitely still at the top of my list for getting your hands on my racial PN once I'm ready to trade it!

There is no struggle too vast, no odds too overwhelming, for even should we fail - should we fall - we will know that we have lived. ~ Anomander Rake
My sig comes from a game in which I didn't heed Blend's advice. So maybe this time I should. ~ Khellendros
I'm just going to have to come to terms with the fact that self-vote suiciding will forever be referred to as "pulling a JPK" now, aren't I? ~ JPK

The mentak miss nothing apart from signs of ownership.

IH, I have you at 1 tactical and 1 strategic remaining, but you put 1/2?

Observation: Ancient Solarian author Maya Angelou "when someone shows you the truth of themselves, believe them." Pirates lie, cheat, steal. That is their truth. One must always be aware and watch for such activity.

Observation: Ancient unknown Solarian philosopher stated, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

Analysis: Foreign Unit designated D'rek has "shown us her truth" on many occasions. She has shown a remarkable talent for dissembling and misdirection. Even outright duplicity.

Observation. We believed foreign Unit D'rek when she stated and implied that she was interested in turtling.

Reflection. We have been fooled many times by foreign Unit D'rek. We are much shamed.

Epiphany: Ah, so much unassimilated technology so very close! Shame recedes.

It will not stall us no

Is our trade still on? I would understand if you want to call it off.

Hmmm, I think we want to cancel the trade now

We would like to discuss that Speaker token.

Your timing is impeccable. I am most likely not yet going to play Politics (it depends a little on when Blend plays Leadership, and I assume you play Warfare this round), but I welcome the opportunity to work out a deal.
Are you looking for a short (next round) or mid-duration (passing Politics back and forth over the next two rounds) type of deal?

This is like elementary and being the only one with homework done all over again

Please 4tell Tapper when you're planning on using Trade so he will move.

Sorry missed all that but wasn't sure myself anyway

And no this is not what I consider an evening

Please remember my generosity in this trying situation

Yeah, I am up for that. The exchange of goods to improve the Work is a Holy Endeavor.

I will point out that the mentak will be rolling out a fair and just system regulating and protecting trade in the galaxy for our neighbours in the near future. For this service we will be instituting a system wide taxation policy. The mentak are open to creative financing solutions for those empires who find this system burdensome.
