The year is 2236 and humans have been settling other planets for over 200 years now. On an outlying moon of Saturn, a colonial settlement known as HYPERION is a direct democracy, in which all eligible citizens have direct participation in the decision making of the REPUBLIC parliament.
Trade talks with the neighboring colony on Enceladus is underway, with delegates representing Hyperion being sent on trade missions to discuss resources, tariffs and trade embargoes. A small band of rebel Hyperions are looking to sabotage the trade talks and overthrow the REPUBLIC parliament, with a goal to create a regime of which, they will have the ultimate power. THE UPRISING
After many delegates were absent during the first nomination of a delegation, the first delegation were forfeited as the MISSION LEADER Jake was not present.
The first delegation as nominated by MISSION LEADER Matthew, surprisingly met with some scepticism resulting in DISAGREEMENT votes from: Jewls stating that “Catherine is sooooooo shady.” and Tara, stating ” I just wanna get a better feel of everyone and not send people we have so little info on who came late”
The FIRST ROUND of talks eventually got underway with a majority vote and saw delegates JAKE, ALISHA and CATHERINE, travel to Enceladus and return triumphant, securing fuel supplies from radioactive isotopes of aluminium, iron and manganese.
The SECOND ROUND of talks focused on the securing of ice and water for the colony. Enceladus is the sixth-largest moon of Saturn is mostly covered by fresh, clean ice, making it one of the most abundant sources nearby.
Unfortunately the delegation of KYLE, MATTHEW, CATHERINE and NICOLE as nominated by Catherine was unsuccessful and the presence of REBELS were definitely fighting against the good cause.
During nominations Jake disagreed with the delegation chosen due to wanting to ” decline a few rounds to see who agrees/ disagrees and potentially sniff out a few allegiances. “, while Tara also disagreed stating that “This round feels more weighted.”
The THIRD ROUND of trade talks, which would be the last for this HYPERION orbit, was allocated to securing organic molecules such as methane, propane and acetylene which are carbon-bearing molecules for hydroponic food production.
MISSION LEADER Allan, nominated himself to lead from the front with JEWLS, GEMMA and TARA. A majority ruled that the delegation was accepted with only some disagreement from Alisha stating that Jewls was super suspicious in her mind.
The delegation returned from Enceladus UNSUCCESSFUL with questions about REBEL influence in sabotaging the diplomatic process.
ROUND FOUR of trade talks shall take place after the next orbit as the colony is closer to our own orbit. However it will be in darkness due to the eclipse of Saturn on Enceladus.
