Dervot — 3/21/23, 1:55 AM Akrake: Keral will be completely liberated in two months at the latest Dervot — 3/21/23, 1:55 AM Akrake: This is taking into count our ability to neutralise insurgents Dervot — 3/21/23, 1:55 AM Akrake: The actual SLU bases should be captured in about two weeks Dervot — 3/21/23, 1:56 AM Akrake: Give or take a few days Dervot — 3/21/23, 1:58 AM Akrake: I hope this will be quick enough for you?

Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:00 AM Trent Veersham: Hell do I know Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:01 AM Trent Veersham: I was a Minister of Infrastructure before this. The racial tensions are unlike anything I've ever seen. Maybe a year, a few months Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:02 AM Akrake: I'm not looking for an expert opinion Mr. Veersham I already have those. I'm gauging what your expectations are Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:03 AM Trent Veersham: If we act fast, a year Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:07 AM Akrake: If the SLU on Keral lay down there arms after the first battles and the combined Spyron, CNN and Akarian forces take back the capital with minimal resistance and if the forces on Annemeia collapse from internal fighting. Than a year is reasonable Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:08 AM Trent Veersham: That's amazing news

Akrake frowns Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:08 AM Akrake: However, I doubt things will be so fortunate for us Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:09 AM Akrake: I expect the forces on Keral to fight to the last man, I expect the CNN and Spyron to be unable to take back the capital for months upon months and I expect the forces on Annemela to consolidate Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:10 AM Akrake: We could be here for years Mr. Veersham Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:13 AM Trent Veersham sighs and looks upset Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:13 AM Trent Veersham: I think I have an Idea Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:16 AM Akrake: Oh? Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:16 AM Trent Veersham: How far can your artillery go? Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:18 AM Akrake: Several kilometres, why do you ask? Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:19 AM Trent Veersham: Have we tried mass bombardment of cities? Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:20 AM Akrake: We have not, as I doubt such a tactic would be useful against the SLU, they seem to be quite guerrilla in nature Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:24 AM Trent Veersham: Oh and I did have this to say Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:27 AM Trent Veersham: There is a city called Yenakapol Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:28 AM Trent Veersham: KEUA is still holding out strong but it is under siege by SLU Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:28 AM Trent Veersham: This could be the focus of the worst fighting around, is there any way we could send aid? Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:30 AM Akrake: Which island is Yenakapol on? Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:30 AM Trent Veersham: Corralith Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:31 AM Trent Veersham: It was mostly Sawaji and Kawakia but surrounded by the Sorewa heartland so you can see why there is strong resistance Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:33 AM Akrake: Our forces are still focused on Keral at the moment, I will try and get into contact with Geilir and see if his men can lift the siege Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:34 AM Akrake: If my information is correct he is already on Corralith Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:34 AM Trent Veersham: Great Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:34 AM Trent Veersham: It would be of importance to me Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:35 AM Akrake: Whilst you're here Veersham I should probably go over Akaria's gameplan for this war Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:36 AM Trent Veersham: Go ahead Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:37 AM Akrake: As you are aware Akaria is currently focused on capturing the north of this island

Trent Veersham: Of course Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:38 AM Akrake: Whilst that is ongoing we are busy constructing the Neerakta Base Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:39 AM Akrake: By the end of the week a proper port for our ships will be finished and shortly after that we'll have tapped into this island's power grid Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:40 AM Trent Veersham: How soon would the capture of Keral be? Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:40 AM Akrake: As said, two weeks at most Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:41 AM Akrake: Currently all of our military resources are being constructed in either Akaria or eee and need to be shipped down here, and are therefor a risk to SLU attacks Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:41 AM Trent Veersham: Great that Keral will be done swiftly Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:42 AM Akrake: I intend to restructure the island's economy to specialise in the production of our military equipment to reduce the amount of trips too and from Eastern Bloc countries Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:42 AM Trent Veersham: There's a port in North Keral under SLU hold called Ankha Bay which handled a lot of our foreign trade we could use once it is ours. It would be mostly safe from the SLU afterwards Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:42 AM Trent Veersham nods in agreement Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:43 AM Akrake: To put it simply I intend to turn this entire island into an autonomous fortress Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:43 AM Trent Veersham: We have the infrastructure Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:44 AM Akrake: I'm glad to see you agree with my plan Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:45 AM Trent Veersham: My main worry is that Corralith will be too late. It is our finest island and my homeland, and our capital city is there Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:48 AM Akrake: We will liberate Corralith, it will just take some time Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:49 AM Trent Veersham: Hopefully... Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:51 AM Akrake: One last subject with should probably discuss Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:51 AM Akrake: The Sorewa... Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:52 AM Trent Veersham: Yes? Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:53 AM Akrake: They are the ones responsible for this civil war correct? Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:53 AM Trent Veersham: Yes Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:54 AM Akrake: How much of this island's population are Sorewa? Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:54 AM Trent Veersham: Keral about 15% Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:56 AM Akrake: Would you deem these people a threat to our operation here? Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:57 AM Trent Veersham: They're the ones leading this war

Trent Veersham: You make what you think of that Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:58 AM Akrake: Very good then, I was simply gauging your thoughts on the matter Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:58 AM Akrake: It has been a pleasure talking to you Mr. Veersham Deleted User — 3/21/23, 2:58 AM Trent Veersham: Yeah. Dervot — 3/21/23, 2:59 AM Akrake: How are the barracks treating you? Deleted User — 3/21/23, 3:02 AM Trent Veersham: They're alright I mean nothing much to write home about Dervot — 3/21/23, 3:03 AM Akrake: We should have proper housing constructed here within the next couple of days Dervot — 3/21/23, 3:03 AM Akrake: Anyhow, I have a call to make Dervot — 3/21/23, 3:03 AM Akrake runs out of his offices towards the phone building Deleted User — 3/21/23, 3:04 AM Trent Veersham leaves to his barracks Dervot — 3/22/23, 1:27 AM Akrake enters the phone room and dials up Driplap Dervot — 3/22/23, 1:27 AM Akrake waits for a response Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 1:29 AM Driplap hears the phone ringing from under the meeting room's table where they have taken up residence, they go and pick up Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 1:29 AM Driplap: Hello Driplap speaking Dervot — 3/22/23, 1:29 AM Akrake: Akrake here Dervot — 3/22/23, 1:30 AM Akrake: Sorry, to ring you up, the phone room was closer than the meeting room Dervot — 3/22/23, 1:30 AM Akrake: And this is quite urgent Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 1:30 AM Driplap: Its no issue, what seems to be amiss? Dervot — 3/22/23, 1:32 AM Akrake: Veersham has requested that we attempt to lift the siege on Yenakapol Dervot — 3/22/23, 1:33 AM Akrake: Are you country's forces anywhere near Yenakapol at the moment? Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 1:36 AM Driplap: I believe the seer-admiral has the vast majority of our forces on Corralith with the remainder held in reserve Dervot — 3/22/23, 1:37 AM Akrake: Yenakapol is on Corralith Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 1:38 AM Driplap: I'm aware, I was mostly just speaking while I checked on the specifics of our troop placements Dervot — 3/22/23, 1:38 AM Akrake: Of course Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 1:39 AM Driplap: Here it is, our forces are on the western side of the island slowly moving towards Yenakapol but are being held up by stiffer than expected resistance

Akrake: Have you made contact with those Halma fellows? Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 1:42 AM Driplap: The seer-admiral mention some people of a disagreeable sort in his report but its unclear if they're the Halma, he can be somewhat difficult to understand at times. Dervot — 3/22/23, 1:45 AM Akrake: We'll need to properly track them down at some point, I'm unsure if they are an enemy or an ally in this conflict Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 1:46 AM Driplap: I believe that the seer-admiral views them poorly regardless based on his attitude towards them during the meeting Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 1:47 AM Driplap: Any alliance between them and the CNN will be tenuous at best Dervot — 3/22/23, 1:47 AM Akrake nods forgetting he's speaking over the phone Dervot — 3/22/23, 1:48 AM Akrake: Driplap, what are your current duties here? Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 1:52 AM Driplap: I primarily act as both a liaison between the seer-admiral and the CODCNN and a liaison between the seer-admiral and the forces here in support of the Republic. In addition I advise the seer-admiral on tactical and strategic matters. Finally if something were to happen to the seer-admiral I would be his temporary replacement until someone of the proper rank could be sent. Dervot — 3/22/23, 1:54 AM Akrake: Could you inform the seer-admiral that I must speak to him about the Sorewa People Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 1:55 AM Driplap: I will do so but he will likely just instruct you to speak with me Dervot — 3/22/23, 1:55 AM Akrake: In that case I'll tell you what I need to talk to him about Dervot — 3/22/23, 1:57 AM Akrake: Do your forces have a plan in place for what to do with the Sorewa once a town or village is captured? Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 1:59 AM Driplap: I think the seer-admiral mentioned something about a volcano, but given that there aren't any here that I know of I shall have to say no Dervot — 3/22/23, 2:03 AM Akrake: I would also argue that throwing the Sorewa into a volcano might not go down too well with Veersham, despite this uprising they're still his people Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 2:06 AM Driplap: The seer-admiral isn't much the type to care about such things, he's a friend of the empress Dervot — 3/22/23, 2:06 AM Akrake: I would suggest that we set up a system of internment camps for the Sorewa Dervot — 3/22/23, 2:07 AM Akrake: Keep them out of the way during this whole operation Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 2:08 AM Driplap: I shall bring your plan to his attention, has President Veersham given his approval to it? Dervot — 3/22/23, 2:10 AM Akrake: Veersham agrees that they are a threat to our mission here, I can talk to him about it if you want though I don't see the need to keep him up to date on every one of our manoeuvres, it's not like were killing them Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 2:12 AM Driplap: A good point, I was mostly just asking so that I might make the suggestion as convincing and accurate as possible Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 2:13 AM Driplap tries to write this down using a Kel-Elemi typewriter but finds that their tentacles aren't well suited for such a task Dervot — 3/22/23, 2:16 AM Akrake: I would recommend that you establish these camps on Corralith, don't want to keep the enemy too close to the command centre Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 2:23 AM Driplap: That does raise the risk of any prisoners escaping and rejoining the fight Dervot — 3/22/23, 2:28 AM Akrake: I'd much rather have the internees escape close to our own front lines than close to our head quarters, it's a minor thing Dervot — 3/22/23, 2:28 AM Akrake: We also need the space on Keral for military purposes

Driplap: I suppose that makes sense Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 2:37 AM Driplap: If that is everything I shall begin to write my report Dervot — 3/22/23, 2:37 AM Akrake: That is everything Dervot — 3/22/23, 2:37 AM Akrake: Good day to you Dervot — 3/22/23, 2:37 AM Akrake: Oh right Dervot — 3/22/23, 2:38 AM Akrake: Later this week we're going to be knocking down that old meeting hall Dervot — 3/22/23, 2:38 AM Akrake: You might want to find a new place to stay Dervot — 3/22/23, 2:38 AM Akrake hangs up the phone Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/22/23, 2:43 AM Driplap dejectedly walks out of the room to begin the search for a new home Dervot — 3/25/23, 2:05 AM Time passes Deleted User — 3/25/23, 2:05 AM Trent Veersham is present Dervot — 3/25/23, 2:06 AM Akrake stands behind the central podium in the newly built meeting hall of the Neerakta Military Base Dervot — 3/25/23, 2:07 AM The various ambassadors to the base and Kel-Elemi are present behind their own podiums Deleted User — 3/25/23, 2:08 AM Several of the surviving cabinet and parliament of the Collective Kel-Elemi Republic, or what remains of it, are seated Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/25/23, 2:09 AM Driplap crawls out of an air vent with a notepad Deleted User — 3/25/23, 2:10 AM Trent Veersham: Hello there Driplap Dervot — 3/25/23, 2:10 AM Akrake watches Driplap hoping that he knows where his podium is Emperor Spyron — 3/25/23, 2:11 AM 'Gomadi enters the room* Dervot — 3/25/23, 2:11 AM Akrake eyeballs Gomadi as he did Driplap Emperor Spyron — 3/25/23, 2:12 AM G: "And welcome to you too..."

I must congratulate your armed forces for this wonderful victory

Akrake: Thank you Veersham Dervot — 3/25/23, 2:15 AM Akrake: I have summoned you all here so that we may report the current status of our forces and to plan and share our next few moves Emperor Spyron — 3/25/23, 2:16 AM G: "How was our Naval support been?" Dervot — 3/25/23, 2:17 AM Akrake: Your navel support was useful in taking the north Dervot — 3/25/23, 2:18 AM Akrake: With Keral secure I suggest you move your navy to aid in the capture of one of the other islands Deleted User — 3/25/23, 2:19 AM Trent Veersham: Bad news however.

@Emperor Spyron @Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™

Emperor Spyron — 3/25/23, 2:55 AM G: "Yes, we can use the troops for the Annemela for it instead." Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 3/25/23, 2:55 AM Driplap: I am unsure, I shall have to ask the Seer-Admiral Deleted User — 3/25/23, 2:58 AM Trent Veersham: I'd rather not.

I must ask, what powers has your government granted you in this Kel-Elemi affair Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:24 AM Akrake: I ask because dealing with some of the other coalition members has been quite... troublesome Myopic — 4/5/23, 1:24 AM Mal: what do you mean?

Akrake: Take for example Niueyjar, they have placed a fellow called Driplap here at the base, he relays things between here and Seer-Admiral Geilir on Corralith, but cannot give orders himself. On Corralith Geilir needs to report to the CODCNN on Niueyjar to get their approval for certain things. What these things are I wouldn't know as contact between me and him runs through Driplap and is very very slow Myopic — 4/5/23, 1:34 AM Mal: how do you get anything done like that? Myopic — 4/5/23, 1:34 AM Mal: i can do practically anything short of waging war because my superiors trust me Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:35 AM Akrake: That is good Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:35 AM Akrake: And to answer you question about how I get things done here like that Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:35 AM Akrake: With great difficulty Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:35 AM Akrake: I'm going to be blunt with you Mal Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:36 AM Akrake: This coalition isn't going to last unless sweeping changes are made Myopic — 4/5/23, 1:36 AM Mal: What kinds of changes, Akrake? Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:37 AM Akrake: What we need here is unified leadership with an agreed upon chain of command Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:37 AM Akrake: We need a unified war plan Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:38 AM Akrake: The various leaders of the forces need to be able to directly communicate with one another Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:39 AM Akrake: But I don't see Niueyjar and Spyron agree to these terms Myopic — 4/5/23, 1:39 AM Mal: Why you expect the CNN to agree to anything that doesnt directly benefit them baffles me Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:39 AM Akrake: By the brown I don't even know where Spyron's forces are Myopic — 4/5/23, 1:39 AM Mal: This feels very ramshackle Myopic — 4/5/23, 1:39 AM Mal: A very loose, unorganized effort Myopic — 4/5/23, 1:40 AM Mal: so yes, i agree with the unified war plan Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:40 AM Akrake: Good good good Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:41 AM Akrake: As it stands, I have been preparing for the collapse of the coalition Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:42 AM Akrake: I have made sure that Neerakta Base firmly remains an Eastern Bloc base, and by extension Keral Island remains under our control Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 4/5/23, 1:42 AM Driplap falls in from a new hole in the ceiling Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 4/5/23, 1:42 AM Driplap: Someone called?

Myopic — 4/5/23, 1:54 AM Mal: usually beating a peer gets you discharged Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 4/5/23, 1:55 AM Driplap: I see the disconnect, he isn't my peer. He's the seer-admiral and I'm just an aid Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:58 AM Akrake: The only way anyone in Akaria's armed forces would be beaten is if my wife were a part of it Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:58 AM Akrake: The joke is that my wife hits me Dervot — 4/5/23, 1:59 AM Akrake clears his throat Myopic — 4/5/23, 1:59 AM Mal lets an awkward chuckle out Dervot — 4/5/23, 2:01 AM Wok Dakon enters the diplomat living building Dervot — 4/5/23, 2:01 AM Wok Dakon turns to Akrake

I have some questions for him. Deleted User — 4/17/23, 1:34 AM Trent Veersham: We need to talk Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 4/17/23, 1:36 AM Driplap: I'll send him a message but he will likely ignore it just as he has all the others I've sent Deleted User — 4/17/23, 1:37 AM Trent Veersham: Then you are not a very good aid either Deleted User — 4/17/23, 1:37 AM Trent Veersham: Get him on the line, NOW!

Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 4/17/23, 1:41 AM Driplap makes a wildly offensive gesture in kelpie culture as they leave view of Trent, the meaning is lost on Trent due to his lack of familiarity with kelpie society Deleted User — 4/17/23, 1:42 AM Trent Veersham: Yeah fuck you too buddy. Dervot — 4/17/23, 1:42 AM Akrake tries to figure out what room they're in Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 4/17/23, 1:42 AM It was the break room Emperor Spyron — 4/17/23, 1:42 AM G: "with allies like this, who needs enemies" Dervot — 4/17/23, 1:43 AM Akrake knows well that the group was outside when this conversation started

Deleted User — 4/17/23, 1:43 AM Trent Veersham: It is important that I know the goings on of the lands I preside over as the President! Mokele Wisdom Dispenser™ — 4/17/23, 1:44 AM It was a new concept of an outdoor breakroom, the fresh air reportedly would do people good Deleted User — 4/17/23, 1:44 AM Trent Veersham: Now let me make it clear, It is of great concern to me when there are people building RESORTS when there is a famine on the way! Deleted User — 4/17/23, 1:46 AM Trent Veersham: It is critical that you know the reasons for this. Deleted User — 4/17/23, 1:46 AM Disrupted food supply chains: The conflict has disrupted the normal flow of food from farms, markets, and warehouses to the people who need it. This is due to damaged infrastructure, blocked roads and supply routes or loss of transport means caused by attacks and looting and destruction of vital communication lines by SLU forces and KEUA forces who have low supplies. Deleted User — 4/17/23, 1:46 AM Damaged agriculture and farming: The war has damaged agricultural infrastructure, farms and decreased the supply of food. The conflict has resulted in destruction of farmland, damage to irrigation systems, loss of farming tools and livestock, and depletion of soil quality through bombing, shelling and arson. Deleted User — 4/17/23, 1:46 AM Displacement and migration of populations: The conflict often leads to forced displacement of populations, either due to violence, persecution, or lack of basic services. This can lead to overcrowding, lack of shelter, and inadequate food supply for those displaced, increasing food insecurity in affected populations. Kawakians in SLU lands have been especially affected by this. Deleted User — 4/17/23, 1:46 AM Economic instability: The conflict has disrupted local economies, decreased employment opportunities and caused widespread poverty, leading to reduced purchasing power for food. High food prices: The war has caused a spike in food prices due to shortages and decreased availability. This, along with the loss of the value of the Amirind, the Kel-Elemi currency has made it difficult for people to afford basic food items, particularly in areas that depend on importation.

Deleted User — 4/17/23, 1:46 AM Access restrictions: The civil war has restricted access to affected areas, making it difficult for humanitarian organisations to distribute food and other supplies to people in need. Deleted User — 4/17/23, 1:46 AM Overall, The civil war in Kel-Elemi has disrupted the economic, social and political framework necessary to maintain the food system, resulting in food shortages, malnutrition and starvation for affected populations. These reasons have created a situation that is quickly developing into a famine and it is insulting for there to be resort developments at this time.
