    I'm good.

    Muaat Passes on secondary.

    He's a shy overambitious dog-catcher on the wrong side of the law. She's an orphaned psychic mercenary with the power to bend men's minds. They fight crime!

    Alright, Tar'mann continues to stand neutral in the war and the Creuss have the next turn.

    Creuss

    Activate Primary ability of Trade(5), claiming 5 +3 free TGs for 8 TGs
    I see no reason to approve of a Naalu-l1z1x trade agreement, nor am I sure if it's even possible currently.

    While Naalu and L1z1x do have free contracts and may decide to re-establish the trade link, if Creuss has decided that they will not under any circumstances approve of the agreement, then the turn will be allowed to pass to the next player (Muaat). SeGaTai, you can verify that you would like to close the trade negotiation phase if that is what you want to do.

    ... alternatively, if one of the two parties with the free contract decides not to establish an agreement at all, then any decision by the Creuss is unnecessary. You can make a declaration in bold dodgerblue, and we'll pass the turn on to Muaat once the strategy card action has been closed officially.

    Actually thought the current arrangement in the Loki system would make it hard to work out. But yes since it seems the two of you are interested in making amends what do you plan to offer for my vote of approval?

    Which works out, since we'd rather continue losing Ground Forces to his defences.

    If I could get conditional battle/card orders from both sides, I can get the resolution started once I get home in a couple hours. I'll assume that the Naalu will be using their PDS fire and Anti-Fighter barrage abilities and the L1z1x will be using their Assault Cannons pre-battle.
