you do realize there is more to the Coalition States then one city right?
Yeah, but Chi-Town's, and Karl Prosek's opinion, is the only one that matters.
the famed Lazlo! yeah, the general and his officer knew how bad it was before there little nap, to find out a dragon is running that place. yup cross that off dont know how many people he eat.
Read up on the Squilb in D-Bee's of North America. NEMA forces have been known to ally with D-Bee's.
free press and free speech and democracy is what you learn in military basic training, no wait its not
They don't need to learn it in basic training because they grew up in the United States of America. It's something they've lived with their whole lives. They're not going to trade that in to live in a police state.
yes first time they run into an Atlantis raiding party i bet believe in those notions of free speech, free press and democracy will help them in the atlantis slave pits, right?
You talk as if North America is completely barren of life save for the Coalition States. There're countless pockets of civilization all over North America, both big and small, as well as many groups which travel across the land, like the various mercenary companies described in Rifts: Mercenaries. There're about 11,000 mercenaries in the named mercenary companies and they do just fine without giving up all their rights to hide behind the walls of Chi-Town, and you think the NEMA army would do any worse? They're an army of 30,000 troops in gear more advanced than what the Coalition has to offer. They'll be just fine. Nevermind that, if they are awakened, they may very well be able to take over ARCHIE-3 and all his resources. Not only would they be just fine, they'd be better then fine as they'd have a safe and fortified base which nobody knows about and with plenty of resources to resupply as well as build themselves an army of robots. But even without that, they clearly don't need the Coalition to survive or thrive. If Larsen's Brigade can make it on their own, if the Cyber-Knight's can make it on their own, if the countless of other independent organizations both large and small which dot the entirety of North America can survive, then
30,000 NEMA soldiers can get along just fine.
first you need to take in count they mindset, they went under while the coming of the rifts was happening, they knew how bad it was, and how many of them will side with the coalition, lets me guess in your fanfiction? none, because they are nazis, oh my, nobody would joined them because they are nazis!
Alright, I’m having a hard time understanding what you’re saying here, because you’re starting to descend into gibberish. Are you asking why they’d attack the Coalition? Sourcebook One says so. The Republicans want to wake the NEMA army up for just that. That’s not something I invented. Siembieda put that possibility right in the book. It was his idea, not mine, that that NEMA army would smash the walls of Chi-Town and conquer it.
odds are there will be clashes between them, they are a threat to the coalition, if they have archie-3 data on the coalition, wait you think they would attack their fellow humans, because they are nazis!, right? because the can crack the outer shell of chi-town, well what about the other coalition states you realize there is just more then one city right?
Once Chi-Town falls the rest would fall into place. Chi-Town is the backbone of the Coalition. Only Iron Heart is capable of standing on its own, and even then it’s a weak power. Without Chi-Town the Coalition is nothing. That wasn’t true when Rifts first came out, as they also had Free Quebec, but Free Quebec is gone. And they certainly wouldn’t go riding to Chi-Town’s rescue. If it’s a choice between Emperor Prosek, who stabbed them in the back and tried to invade them, and who they’re still afraid will try again, and ancient NEMA heroes from the Dark Ages as well as the people who gave them Glitter Boy technology in the first place, then they’ll root for the latter every time.
