<span class="mu-b">”If you wish to know who I am; I am Bantam Falathane, the <span class="mu-i">Supreme Ruler</span> of the Hegemony and master and protector of all Jaxtian life in this galaxy and what will-be beyond it. The Hegemony has never claimed to be a pacifistic government- but know that we have never raised a hand against the Consortium, only been constant victim to its schemes. Despite the numerous spies and even attempts of assassination to our most noble office- our single, unbroken, eternal line of Supremacy continues, while your pathetic government cannot even take a tiny mining colony defended by a single cruiser. This is not a declaration of war, I am merely here to say that you will never take this or any other Jaxtian colony. You are a weak, pathetic, and honorless people. There is a reason we never accepted the invitation to your “intergalactic community”; and that is because we don't need <span class="mu-i">you</span>. Goodbye.”</span>
The message is sent and soon enough, your AI sensors pick up it circulating among the citizens of the Consortium. While it is true the rich and wealthy have considerable sway; the freedoms and openness of information within the Consoritum are impossible to bury. In the Hegemony, that message would have never reached the masses in any way- but for the Consortium? It spreads like wildfire; sensationalism sells after all. The higher ups of the mining corporation, as well as the Consortium military play damage control and continue their false narratives; all it will do is lower the trust in their own leaders the more they deny the truth. But your intention was not to cause uprisings or changes in the political structure of the capitalists in any way, no, it was merely to piss them off. And now, you just have to wait.
