[STORY-ISH] L5 - A Travelogue

[robkelk]

They're still saying that, are they? I must remember to send them an ambassador sometime soon. --N. Scott

This would be more threatening if I didn't know that Noah's ultimate contingency for non-Stellvian supremacy in L5 was "run like a scared rabbit."

It would take more than non-Stellvian supremacy in L5 for Noah to implement Contingency Plan #3. You might call it "running"; I call it "ensuring the survival of the species". Besides:

We know well what Life can tell:
If you would not perish, then grow.
And today our fragile flesh and steel
Have laid our hands on a vaster wheel
With all of the stars to know

Edit: No, this would be a political move - Stellvia recognizing Central as a separate nation-state.

"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose
them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
