Caratore has given the UNP a stark choice, to surrender within five days or the MBO will start using the LRM nuclear weapons they now control. Caratore said in a message to the UNP, "You have five days from now, Friday at midday Proxima 7 Standard Time, to accept unconditional surrender otherwise we will be forced to hit a target in the UNP. It could be anywhere and your much vaunted NS will not be able to stop it. Then you will have four days to accept before we use the next LRM."
An unconfirmed report states that Sea Urchin has told Torus that NS has until Thursday to find a way to stop the LRMs or the UNP will vote on whether to surrender (and it will).
