2230 --> AshmanFunny? To the contrary, astrology is one of the earliest courses ever offered at University. Daily predictions are given in the school newspaper. Several studies have shown a 48.9% success rate at divining the future if the future is described as a dichotomy in opposition. Which reminds me that you god worshipers might be interested in another course offering at University; viz., Divination, all you need to enroll is a freshly cut switch.

2139 --->AshmanProfessor Rue agrees with the wise ruler of the Believers. The handwriting is clearly set on the whiteboard. We, hereby pledge allegiance to the Believers and recognize their right to lead the human effort on Planet. We at University will take satisfaction in providing a top notch education for all who seek one. |

Now what do we have here.... for the last decades the universities enemies have not really achieved anything that could be called even a minor victory, but we, the glorious comrades of the Hive, have succeeded; just as it was expected by our lowest truthsayers. Dare not ask the chief astrologer of the empire what is coming next...you may not like it. Also the Hive announces the acquisitionof the Gaian settlements to its empire. Deirdre does do fine as an involuntary actress in certain movies..erm  Join our everlasting empire now before it may be too late! |

The victory of which I speak is the great and glorious victory of University over Santiago. We even built a monument outside the commons to commemorate the achievement, however, small when compared to the Believers' military accomplishments. |

The University has launched a hacker attack at our science networks. Although they were not successful we have decided to teach them a lesson. Vendetta on the University! |

The "hacker" allegation is spurious and only serves to cover the Believers obvious desire for conquest. Needless to say our dinner invitation is withdrawn. |
