After sorting out who had the disadvantage on these new negotiations, and after I had to be very specific about who is trading with whom, i could finally start to have a serious Talk about a final end of the war hostility.
"Three Galactic Weeks later - Central Planet of Governance"
As all the hustle and bustle got cleared, the actual public announcement about the casing of the war with the Shroom Plague came after they announced the more shocking news about myself. The correct spoken words were :
"Dear Citizens, We are aware of a certain rumor that has spread over the last three weeks from the military towards the civilian population, and rest assured, we will now announce a solution. As per the last three weeks' time, countless scientists and researchers gathered, each spezies independent analytical reports, and arrived on a similar conclusion. That based on gatherd and 'public' available information the Shroom Plague that seems to be continuously encroaching Coalition Space, has come to an halt, following first contact with three representatives that held no malice, said individuals came towards the Expo that was hold three weeks ago. And except for some structural damages, we were able to temporarily halt the war effort on that battlefront. We could even bring the other side to make some concessions, and of today we're able to lift the quarantine on all non critical infected persons that have proven to be cured and they will shortly be able to reunite with them."
After the watching masses broke out in a happy mod and celebrated for a short term, the speaker began again after the local mod calmed somewhat.
"Oure negotiations on the Battlefront could say to result in a stalemate over territory concessions and sadly were weren't able to gain more as the negotiations with the other side had clear cut arguments that were equally dissatisfied with, so this new borders are drawn where the battlefront used to be and a half of the remaining soldiers and military personal and equipment would be stationed as border personal until other arrangements are finalized. The other half personal would be rearranged to support other conflicts zones.
Now, towards the reclassification of the Schroom Plague, from the delegates that we have met, it's based on that information we're given. The new species name that the Shroom Plague has given us is split into three parts, first are the Mushroom People that evolved from longterm infected people as we are informed that these retain their conciseness and parts of their former body's. Even more shocking schould be the news that these people could become themselves again after getting the qualifications and permission from the Root Mother wich represents the core strukture of the Hive, and then there are an increasing number of Shroom Children. The Shroom Children are the native people that grow from the Root Mother and have to grow into full sentient beings over time. After they grew up, they are called Shroom People. And yes, the Root Mother has regained sentience and initiated this peacetalk even though we have to concede the following points.
1. Trade with Nutritional Solutions is stopped Effective immediately, privat holders and consumers are ble to use their own supply til they run dry. The industrial sector has to submit an acquisition report that would be submitted as per the new peace treaty to asses reparations figures.
2. After that, the Root Mother will be setting up off world dispensaries where anyone could visit to trade Nutritional Solutions with 'Equal value' trade goods.
3. The set up distribution points would also double as diplomatic contact points with our new neighbors.
The other points are still not finalized, as we will now officialy referring to the Shroom Plage as Roots Hive, and an temporary peace treaty will be in effect until the final Treaty will be finalized and signed."
After that long speech, that seem to shock every one whos watching the stream and those present . The gossiping started a red hot phase involving news sharing with those who had missed the event. As among all of this shocking news and happenings, I still had to splitt of parts of my mind to stop my now kinda adopted Drevon and my wannabe internet junkie Krystall conciseness Sental.
I swear it fells like having human kids the one I have to teach how to talk and not to eat the next best biological thing he sees, and the other I had to keep from wrecking her own intellect by bingewatching everything and holding it true, i seriously considered the obvious lie approach. And after some deliberate lies about the color of our surroundings, it seems that she finally grasped the concept of truth and false, but the finer details seem to be still out of reach for her. And I better not tell her that some beings lie to themselves by willingly ignoring knowledge they have. Yeah, i better stay silent about that.
The bigger structural concerns actually came from Drevon as he would always try to eat the growing walls and floors. His natural singular thoughts that every Devourer has had become increasingly diverse, the only problem I had was to actually get him to use his newfound mental capacity. At least he made some progress with his speaking ability and short sentences where now possible.
After the people removed themselves from the venue, the speaker began to lead my side body towards the massive archive building that seemingly stretched like a belt around the Planets midsize with off branching administration buildings. The design seemed to favor efficiency above looks as the design even had dual storage as the normal preferred digital system had to be shut down in maintenance or in a worse case be sabotaged, could they still access the needed Information.
After we finally arrived at a desk terminal, I got invited to sit, and the tedious process of comparing my hazy memories and the 'Offical' numbers began.
