Unending BE - episode 30005
Jim went back in the lair (his basement lab) and fired up the good old 286
he kept hidden under a pile of other electronic junk. He logged in (there
was no password actually, the login was accomplished by getting the stupid
thing to work, something that only a skilled nerd could have done) and was
disappointed to see that the UNA network was down. This time he couldn't
get any help from his alt-jumping colleagues.
"Well, fry me. This is for Sharon after all, so fuck the Faction Rules!" he stated
to nobody in particular.
Factional relations hadn't changed much since his last alt-jump to R02 (and to think
that it was just for a Modern History project! Damn Nazis, he thought) but it was a good
time to check again. He navigated through some pages of text and finally found the diplomatic
relations screen. He knew that he wasn't authorized to start a contact like this, but what
the heck. While hoping he wouldn't choose the Faction which was behind Mr. Black's biotech
experiments (high-tech secret projects were usually backed by alt-jumpers anyway) he
moved his cursor to:
- The Men In Gray (alts controlled: 18) (current relations with UNA: VENDETTA) (profile: IMPERIALISTIC - THOUGHT CONTROL)
- The Humanist Alliance (alts controlled: 15) (current relations with UNA: RESOURCE TREATY) (profile:HUMANITARIAN - EXPANSIONIST)
- The Gaian Family (alts controlled: 8) (current relations with UNA: FACTIONAL TRUCE) (profile: GREEN - PACIFIST)
- The Order of the Pentagram (alts controlled: 6) (current relations with UNA: CULTURAL HOSTILITY) (profile: EXPANSIONISTIC - MAGICAL)
- The Phalanx of the Supreme Being (alts controlled:3) (current relations with UNA: VENDETTA) (profile: RELIGIOUS - TECHNOPHOBIC)
- The Route666ers (alts controlled:2) (current relations with UNA: FACTIONAL TRUCE) (profile: SURVIVALIST - MILITARISTIC)
