From the Journals of Nicosa Renault

(08 Autumn 1939) -This has truly been a cycle of hell, to cap a

generation of suffering. The history of our planet is bloody, to be sure, but it has

always been limited to skirmishes and minor brushfire wars. Terrible, of course, for

those living them, but mattering little inthe grand scheme of things. And now,

within a mere twenty cycles, we faced an invasion from interstellar space, a

plague, a major polar war, and the complete destruction of a powerful city-state.

Itreminds me of the old Mekong curse: "may you live ininteresting times."

person they placed to oversee the Humanist Alliance, had been brainwashed by

Humanist nationals. Ihad long suspected this, but Iwasn't sure. This made the

Alliance a real threat and the Republicans launched a desperate action to elimi-

nate it; when Hutchison was assassinated, it was too late to back out.

Republican special forces let loose a deadly virus inthe Humanist

Alliance, which they hoped would weaken the league enough that it could be

annexed with ease. Unfortunately, the locals proved more tenacious than expected

and the plague got harder to control. The Humanists were not the South's only

problem, either. Inthe Eastern Sun Emirates, the rebellion in Basal had spread to

several other city-states and their leader Nigel Shirow had even gained control of

a Humanist city seeking protection from the Republic. The Republic was commit-

ted to a long mop-up operation inthe Allied Southern territories, just as they

were facing troops for the North.

(09 Autumn 1939) - I've been attempting to gain a clearer

picture of the situation by placing allthe pieces of the puzzle I've uncovered so

far into one coherent whole: the assassination of Thor Hutchison, the Interpolar

War, the plague inthe Humanist Alliance. Unfortunately, there are still some major

holes in the picture, and Idoubt the validity of some of the information my

agents have uncovered. Too bad I don't go out as much as I used to; I could have

made parallel verifications myself.

With the South weak and their blood boiling, the North declared war

preemptively two seasons after Hutchison's death. It began with a massive

Northern assault; they would have moved troops near the Humanist border as a

precaution already - hence the reports I received about lost landships. Northern

strategy was to move into the weak territories (ESE and Humanist Alliance), move

through a friendly (or at least neutral) Mekong Dominion and then crush the

Republic on two fronts. Of course, the Dominion resisted them and they then got

bogged down in the ESE and HA, far away from secure supplies.

I'll skip the War of the Alliance for now; my personal files have more

than enough information on it already, most of which I've gathered myself. The

afterwar tensions were easy to foresee for anyone with a modicum of knowledge of

Terranovan politics. The first major event happened in TN 1935 when Thor

Hutchison, the leader of the Revisionist Church, was assassinated. Northerners

assumed Southern agents were involved, and even I entertained such thoughts for

a while. It was the easy solution, after all. With this, the North drove itself into a

fervor and it was only a matter of time before all-out war began.

The Southern response was to secure their borders, using the

Humanist Alliance and the rebel parts of the Emirates as buffers, and then bring

the war home to the North thanks to lightning assaults on the Arctic regions.

Landships moved and clashed across the Badlands, trans-orbital transports

dropped troops right in the enemy's lap and some units stationed across the globe

Using the evidence I've gathered, I'm forced to assume Garner Fulan

acted alone, though Ihave a nagging feeling that there is more to it. Could

someone have talked him into it somehow, discreetly? After all, the Second

Follower did utter "of course" before he was shot, implying that he knew some-

thing. Was he referring to one of his personal enemies? Perh

it matters little now.
