My fellow citizens, today is a dark day for the world. Surely the loss of such a small quantity would not jeopardize the goodwill existing between our peoples? What actions might Persia be able to take to make up for this act?Ī message to all Complexes from your Friend, The Computer If our proposal to the United Nations council succeeds we would end the development of these infernal weapons and repurpose the green stones for peaceful power solutions.
Our geologists report that your people have access to an abundance of the material and our diplomats say your scientists have not been shy in using it to create terrible weaponry. We assumed your people would not care what we took from the Aztecs but the timing of your conquest was such that by sheer technicality the land was yours. In fact, the entire purpose of the acquisition of Hadrumetum was to secure access to the ore, which our military council believes is vital to the security of the Persian people.
The acquisition of the land and specifically the Uranium beneath the land was a project that began over a decade ago and our General did not appear to stop and question his orders upon the news that ownership of the land had left the Aztecs.
