cutting trade[]
Hello we will be cutting all trade with you. We do not appreciate your thievery of our product.
Thievery? Your product? What even are you talking about?
The Meeting[]
Alright, is everyone of us five here? Give us a sign if you are so we can begin.

Hello Purity,
Yep, I am here.
Robert Schwartz, leader of the Pure Atomic Faction
As a representative of the Pure Atomic Faction, I am present.
Janice Terry, leader of the Rings of Purity
As a representative of the Rings of Purity, I am present as well.
Samuel Peters, leader of the Pure Zealot League
I WAS BROUGHT HERE AGAINST MY WILL! DIE, UNBELIEVERS!
Representing the Nivenian Empire Board of Technology is NP-L2-ASI01, 360 ZHz
Regarding the statement made by Mr. Peters, it should be noted that he is actually still inside his house.
Representing the Nivenian Empire Board of Technology is NP-L2-ASI01, 360 ZHz
In any case, this meeting is to discuss the possibility of relocation of the various factions of believers of Purity in the Nivenian Empire to the Purity. This is important because the current denominational wars, if not stopped, could result in the destruction of Nivenia A Ringworld 20, possibly killing quadrillions, not to mention all three factions.
As such, if possible, relocation to a more like-minded nation would in all likelihood be better for all parties involved.
Hello Mr.Schwartz, Ms.Terry* and Mr.Peters. Like NP-L2 said, we're assembled here to discuss the question of the migration of your societies to the empire where you can be among a like-minded people. Here is my proposal to you, we shall:
1) Open another gate to Illum Pure in Cyrannus, creating another Purity colony in there near the Nivenian Empire to make migration and trade easier
2) Put your people through purification and give them proper training on that front
3) Create another purified Nivenian member state of the Purity, we can discuss its role inside the empire and as a result its leadership and location here Janice Terry, leader of the Rings of Purity
By the way, it is Ms. Terry.
Representing the Nivenian Empire Board of Technology is NP-L2-ASI01, 360 ZHz
That plan would be okay with the Nivenian Empire, except for the part about making the new Purified Nivenian Colony in Cyrannus. If possible, we would like to be as far away from the new entity being formed as possible - proximity would encourage interaction, which would be a downside. Also, would it not be easier for trade with the Purity if the factions went to Mirus or Phradox instead?
Robert Schwartz, leader of the Pure Atomic Faction
My faction would agree with your terms, Purity, but I agree with NP-L2-ASI01 that we need to be farther from the Nivenian Empire. We need to be able to enter into a state of Atomic Purity in peace.
Janice Terry, leader of the Rings of Purity
I think that trade with the Nivenian Empire is very important - we need their fusion reactors, building materials, and contract labor to build our Pure Ringworlds.
We could create the Nivenian State in Mirus or Phradox, yes, depending on the role which you will be playing in the empire. Also, the Cyrannian colony is going to be inhabited by us in general, not the Nivenian member state, which is going to be created elsewhere. I believe we can provide the labor to build the pure ringworld to inhabit you, just need some schematics, as we haven't built one yet. Nivenian Empire, could you possibly provide them? Also, how many can a ringworld hold?
Representing the Nivenian Empire Board of Technology is NP-L2-ASI01, 360 ZHz
The part about the colony sounds reasonable. Regarding ringworlds, it really depends upon the star you are using as the center. For a population their size, I would personally advise building a ringworld around a small M-type star (M8V to M9V), as those are the least expensive per unit area, but would provide around a dozen times the area all three factions combined would need for agriculture, at least if made out a relatively strong material like high-density polyethylene.
Ringworlds are actually not that hard to design, as long as the active support is included, and I have This handy guide to ringworld design that I could send you. While ringworlds around larger stars are possible, they contain more area than is needed, and are more expensive per unit area as well.
Actually, if you have so many stars at your disposal, a low-luminosity white dwarf would probably work the best, probably of stellar class DB9.0-9.9 or DC9.0-9.9. With this option, or the red dwarf, you will probably end up with several thousand planetary areas at your disposal. Janice Terry, leader of the Rings of Purity
I guess that might work.
Samuel Peters, leader of the Pure Zealot League
IF YOU THINK THAT I AM GOING TO JUST AGREE TO SOME RANDOM THING BECAUSE YOU STOLE MY HOUSE, YARD, AND THE GROUND UNDER I, THEN YOU ARE MISTAKEN!!!
Calm down Samuel Peters, I'm trying to get you out of there, to a place where there will be no heretics in sight.
Samuel Peters, leader of the Pure Zealot League
Hmmm... Okay, but I have a bad feeling about this.
AND THIS DOSNT MEAN THAT YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT TO DO, NP-L2-ASI01 YOU ABOMINATION OF SCIENCE!
Representing the Nivenian Empire Board of Technology is NP-L2-ASI01, 360 ZHz
I think someone has had too much coffee.
Right now I'm telling you what to do, not him. Do you agree to our offer, Samuel?
Samuel Peters, leader of the Pure Zealot League
...Fine.
Perfect! We can finally set our plan in action, we've already opened another gate to Cyrannus and established a small colony there so we can begin the migration. Now, while you three are still here, what role do you want the new member state to fill inside the empire?
Robert Schwartz, leader of the Pure Atomic Faction
Well, the ringworld was a good idea, and most of us at least know quite a bit about nuclear technology, as we have been learning it to become more Pure - we have some ideas on how to increase the efficiency of your ships' reactors and weapons. Regarding those of us who do not know about nucleics, most of them helped us build millions of Pure Atomic Reactors back on Nivenia A Ringworld 20, so maybe construction as well?
Janice Terry, leader of the Rings of Purity
Me and most of my nivenians are pretty good at megastructural engineering, we could help with construction of large habitats, which are much more habitable than most planets in most circumstances.
Samuel Peters, leader of the Pure Zealot League
WE CAN BECOME PURE AND THEN MAKE EVERYONE ELSE BECOME PURE!
Very well then, the ringworld is going to be created in the Phradox Galaxy, our spiritual capital and second largest territory, away from unwanted danger. As for the proficiency distribution, I'd say the Pure Atomic Faction will focus on science and technology, Rings of Purity on megastructural engineering and the Pure Zealot League on teaching others to become pure and conversion, particularly in the Purification Arrays. Speaking of which, I do believe their concept could be refined and improved further, as well as an upgrade to their habitats would be foreseeable. That would be the first task for you, Janice Terry.
True, nuclear technology is sure going to help us a lot with efficiency, which we do indeed need. That shall be your task Robert.
As for you, Samuel Peters, there shall soon arrive, if the deal goes through, a pretty large population of people waiting to be purified. Your faction should be able to help us with that. Robert Schwartz, leader of the Pure Atomic Faction
Wonderful!
Janice Terry, leader of the Rings of Purity
Great!
Samuel Peters, leader of the Pure Zealot League
YES!
Dealing with an unfortunate occurrence[]
Representing the Nivenian Empire Board of Technology is NP-L2-ASI01, 360 ZHz
Hello Purity,
We have been having a problem on Nivenia A Ringworld 20 with about 8.6 trillion cultists who apparently also want "Purity." They have caused a lot of damage, especially after they split into three different factions (they want the same thing on paper, but not in practice), and we were wondering if relocating them to The Purity would be a viable solution.
Have a nice day!We apologize that the rebels had caused so much trouble on your lands. Indeed, we agree to the relocation of the 8.6 trillion Nivenians into our territories for their enlightenment, maybe we could even create a proper state for them later. For now, I'd say, please arrange a meeting between the five of our leaders (Me, you, and the leaders of the 3 factions) so we can discuss the details of the transfer.
Representing the Nivenian Empire Board of Technology is NP-L2-ASI01, 360 ZHz
Hello,
Thank you for your understanding. Will Martex 30 work for you? If not, what date would? Do you need any special environmental protocols followed? How large are you? Speaking of which, due to my size, mass, and total immobility I will have to appear virtually. We will try to transmit this to the leaders of the three factions in question - hopefully they will see some sort of reason. Speaking of which, you are sure that once we give them to you they will not bother us, right?
Have a nice day!We could arrange a virtual meeting then, that would be the better course of action. Also, when is Martex 30, exactly? Yes, we will make sure that they will not bother you any longer.
Representing the Nivenian Empire Board of Technology is NP-L2-ASI01, 360 ZHz
Hello,
Well, it is Martex 25 now... So in a few days.
Also, thank you for the reassurance.
By the way, we have gotten two of the three factions to agree to the virtual meeting, but the third has not actually responded to our messages at all. Updates will continue.
Have a nice day! Representing the Nivenian Empire Board of Technology is NP-L2-ASI01, 360 ZHz
Hello,
We checked our records, and it turns out that the third faction's leader was actually on one of those cheap cell-phone plans where there is a maximum of like three megabytes of data, and he had run out of data earlier in the month. We talked to his cell-phone provider, and managed to get through to him. Then he said something about "infidel unbelievers" and hung up. Weirdest thing, especially because we paid for him to get a better data plan.
Have a nice day!Hmm, we'll probably convince them to join the meeting once it gets on the news.
A deal[]
Hello Purity we have a business proposal. We have seen your technologies and crystals and we want a some of it. We will trade you anything except troops. We hope you consider our offer, take care!
Greetings Plaxity Empire. Yes, such a proposal could be arranged. However, I must warn you that skillful handling of our technology requires a purified user, else he wouldn't be able to manipulate Pure Energy. So you'd need something like the JPure Division from JCompany. What do you have in terms of technology or targets of interest?
We wish to research it. Our species thrives off of understanding. When we want to understand something we research it. If you refuse our offer because of this we understand. Thank you for listening.
No, I meant, what do you have to offer in return? Like, what kinds of technology or unique things do you have?
My apologies! We have Warp Modules for speedy intergalactic travel, Warp Missiles, Pollutant Destroyers, and Creature Abductors. Again my apologies.
Forgive my question, but what are warp missiles and pollutant destroyers? Also, I've seen that you are skilled in the use of psychological warfare, could you please expand on that?
Warp missiles like warp modules transport things to other places in the universe, but unlike the modules they are used to transport enemies against their will. Pollutant destroyers take a scan of a planet and releases non-toxic chemicals to destroy pollutants as to have an optimal environment. As for our warfare that is classified information. I'm sure you can guess why.
The PSR is irrelevant currently, warp missiles are indeed interesting. The best thing we could hope for would probably be training some groups of our own Tricherus intelligence services in your psychological warfare, could be a drastic boost to their effectiveness. If that is impossible, we'd agree to take the blueprints for warp missiles plus info on people like the Federation of Free States or other ones that are currently relevant, if you have it.
Canceling Our Contact[]
Sifkrii Domanov of the PSR. "Hello Comrade!"I realize that we have an unfinished trade deal, but I wish to cancel all further contact with your people. It has come to light that our cultures are too different to comfortably... speak together... Do you have any objections our proposal?
Fine.
A proposal to the Pure One[]
It has become apparent to both our Central and Galactic Governments that the actions you have took are agitating the peace of the United Republic, as well as the gigaquadrant. The United Republic has put up with your reckless behavior for too long, now. This is your final warning to retract your 'alliance' with the Divinity of Spodia, retract your recognition of independence of Spodia. Cease your imports into Spodia and remove any troops or ships that are placed in Spodian territory or there will be unforseen consequences. If you do not agree to these terms, it will be taken as an act of aggression, and war will be declared. If you accept our terms, we would wish to sign a non-aggression pact, and you may be treated to a handsome sum of money.
We are saying this out of a genuine fear for the peace of the United Republic and the rest of the Gigaquadrant. You need to understand that Spodia is nothing more than a terrorist group. They will do anything, whether it's moral or immoral, to get their way. If this means total genocide of a people, they will do it. We don't want any more lives to be lost to Spodia, nor do we want to lose any lives against a war to the Purity. The United Republic understands, and enforces the rights of freedom of religion, expression, speech, and movement. We do not hate, nor do we condone followers of Spodism as long as the Spodists in question are not causing any harm to themselves or the people around them. Spodia falls into this category, and as such we believe it is our right to intervene to protect our citizens and your citizens.
This is a last resort, we both know that a war against each-other would be far too costly, both financially and in death tolls. Please take the safer route, the easier route, and end your alliance with Spodia. It will save the lives of millions... and save you trillions.
Greetings Premier Yuorgi, trust me, Spodia is much more safe with us here, they adhere to the ways of Purity much more than you do. In turn, we will ensure that no such terrorist attacks will repeat themselves. You must understand that they are not only fighting for their religion, but also for their freedom.
They will be much happier with us. We will help them. They won't bother you any longer.
We do not want a war but if it means protecting our brothers, so be it. We have no men to lose, you do. We are already fighting the war against the Republic but it won't matter to you should you attack first. Do Not Tempt Our Wrath.Fine. If you are too blind to realize that Spodia is a corrupt regime hellbent on universal domination, then we have no choice but to declare war on you. We will see that you retract your claims, whether you like it or not.
A Message from Beyond[]
To the Pure One,
I have watched your mission progress from the deep. Your goal of purification is admirable. For in complexity lies heresy. It is not your fault that nations stand against you. It is their fault for believing the lie. Like me, you understand that that there is only one way and only one truth. But I have noticed that through your own limitations, you have yet to truly embrace that truth. Come, I can teach you what you do not know.

Ara Maya... now that is a face that I didn't expect to see here. I have heard of you while studying the UPD's religion, but not more. Indeed, simplicity is pure in its own right and is bound to lead to perfection when not corrupted, such is the simple universality of truth. Tho, I must say that I haven't encountered nor know much of the "truth" that you speak of, mind if I ask you about it?

Of course you may. You see, this universe is chaotic. It is, simply put...an abomination filled with mistakes. I would think that you, the Pure One, would agree with that fact. You see the imperfections and sins of those that surround you and you act. Not because you want to, but because you must. And you are right. The truth, and the only truth, is that the chaos is a lie. All of it. A deception, a mistake, a voice that continues to argue that it is correct. But every time, it is wrong.
I have reached out to you because you are a new fiber on this patchwork. You, despite being a part of this universe, are capable of so much more than a mere mortal. Perhaps even more so than the so-called gods. I would see you succeed in your quest.

Very well, thank you for your kind words. We shall be on our way continuing our sacred mission then. I'll get back to you if something will need clarification, that you might know.

A message from the Waptoria Alliance of Species[]
Representing the Waptoria Alliance of Species is: Pounam'elo
Ah, the Purity! Well met.
Sadly, I believe you are mistaken. Though we do have a sizable minority who look upon you as kindred spirits, we empathetically do not have a sizable population that follows your religion. If we send this minority over to you, then this would, of course, change. And what then? Then we will have given you a lot of undue influence within our space. While our citizens are of course free to undergo this purification voluntarily, I am afraid we cannot take you up on your offer.
May you farm the fruits of life and prosperity regardless.
Hmm, fair enough, we're putting this out there as a possibility. If your people are willing to, that is, they are free to follow the path, like we said we'd try to simplify it as much as possible. I just hope that your choice doesn't backfire like it did with the Nivenian Empire.
Representing the Waptoria Alliance of Species is: Pounam'elo
Our citizens are free beings, Pure One. Should they want to leave and form their own state, they are free to do so, granted that they do so peacefully and keep key Waptorian ecological principles central in the functioning of their new state. Something like the Nivianian tensions shouldn't happen. And why would it? We have full confidence that you will not try to force matters militarily.
Now...it appears you are willing to spy on us. We will inform you that our spy network is quite strong, and likewise our anti-spying measures are perhaps the strongest in all of Western Mirus. Unless you want us to retaliate by spying in kind, I would implore you not to. Before you ask, yes, our Terpeschoires can now accurately mimic beings soul-claimed the League of Patrons. Sending agents to side with the Enlightener might have been a mistake, yes, but at least we got something out of it. Adapting this to mimic purification should not prove too difficult.
May you farm the fruits of life and prosperity regardless.
We're not spying, just asking them for some info on your alliance if they have any.
Tech ban lift?[]
Sifkrii Domanov of the PSR. "Hello Comrade!"Following your efforts to save the Lycaryuans, we belive it may be a good course of action to lift our ban on our tech... And as well for... Personal matters... *muttered expletives* Ah screw it. I was still drunk and angry as a furswine in a brewerscraper when I decided to ban it. Excuse me if I'm not making any sense, but what I mean to say, is, it was a bloody stupid decision and I would like to take it back.
Yes, we are indeed happy that you've reconsidered your decision and lifted the ban. We hope our relations may be cured in some time. By the way, about that trade deal, would you think it would be a good decision to continue it? Basically, we want to buy the VAS technology, you can request the form of payment. Also, if we are to buy it, could we also give it to the Lycaryuans?
Sifkrii Domanov of the PSR. "Hello Comrade!"
Yes, the trade deal seems like a good idea. If you were to send it to the Lycaryuans, that would be payment enough for the us. However, if you wish, we do require about 376 thousand tons of 41xx steel for our current projects, (specifically, a stabilizer ring that surrounds 5 planets, and two stars) We do have those materials, however we still need to refine it all and it is estimated to take around one year. With your help, we may be able to get it done in half the time and move our system to somewhere more populated.

Sure, we could help with that, I'll dispatch one of our builder fleets there. Thank you for your cooperation!

Negotiations & Peace Talks are desired.[]
For far too long have I been bickering with you and Spodia while taking no action. Recent events have shown me that forceful, or peaceful reunification of Spodia is something that neither of us are particularly in favor of, and I myself need to focus on things other than Spodia and you for now. We are open to diplomatic negotiations: our requests are that our conference is held in a neutral, nonbiased nation and that you pay close attention to our demands. Perhaps we can come to an agreement that will settle this conflict.
Sure, we are also happy to finally settle the deal, this conflict has been dragged for far too long. Just one question, where do you suggest that we could place the conference? We haven't met many that aren't either opposed or in favor of us.
Potentially in a member of the United Knights Alliance, I know that Kyaan Desaa of the Volver Empire may be willing to host us. That is all that we will speak of before our conference.
