  1. If you don't feel like reading all this, basically we want to watch over humanity, give everyone suits once we believe they won't cause armageddon with them, and then set up a meritocratic republic. We can always use more people wanting to change the world for the better.
  2.  
  3. The Vox Populi is a group dedicated to protecting their suited brethren and working towards the general enlightenment and technological evolution of mankind.
  4.  
  5. They are intent on establishing a large nation in which they will test their ideas for government, including reverse-engineering their suits and mass producing them for the general populous, once the masses have been educated on proper usage.
  6.  
  7. The end goal is the complete overhaul of the corrupt and ineffective governments worldwide and the ascension of mankind.
  8.  
  9.  
  10. Metal brothers and sisters, why should we bow to inferior governments when we could crush them easily whilst united? Why should the weak dominate the strong? To them, we are nothing but pigs for the slaughter.
  11.  
  12. You don't think they'll imprison us? Destroy our suits and attempt to reconstruct them for their own sinister purpose? We cannot have a government that doesn't understand us.
  13.  
  14. Humanity isn't ready for this power to be mass produced, but WE understand it because we had to learn it. Like moving to a new country and learning their native language, we were forced to become familiar with power armor, but to our governments, its just another super weapon, to be used solely for military purposes.
  15.  
  16. We should be leading society into the next age, not reverting mankind to the Dark Ages with weapons of mass destruction.
  17.  
  18. The goal of the Vox is to allow everyone an equal chance at being great, including those not currently armed with suits.
  19.  
  20. Our tactics involve targeting essential pieces of the Old Regime (eg white house, parliament, military bases, etc) so that we can establish our power with minimal bloodshed. Our viruses (the spider and pigeon viruses) will destroy military networks and copy their information so we take minimal loss. We seek to better society by removing ineffective, bickering congresses, greedy politicians, and inept fools from power so that we can progress. Our government (currently) will be a form of meritocracy with something similar to the Chinese Mandate of Heaven in the mix to help minimize corruption.
  21.  
  22. Some members of the Safety Net are also members of the Vox.
  23.  
  24. We do not believe we have a "right to rule", as that is a preposterous concept. Nobody has the "right" to rule anyone. Rule is taken or given, but nobody has an innate right to rule. The Vox seek to change society, and ruling it for a time would be necessary, but we are merely training wheels to guide the machine that is society. We can be taken off once the world is ready, but only once we've pushed it in the right direction.
  25.  
  26. The Vox are based on the idea that everyone with a suit is your brother or sister and there is no reason to harm them. Yes, we see ourselves as superior to other men, but we don't see that as an advantage; that's a problem we intend to fix. We're preparing society to take that step with us so that nobody is superior to anyone (in regards to suits. of course intellect and how hard one works will still distinguish people. that's why we want to put forth a meritocracy, not communism)
  27.  
  28. As part of our treaty with the Safety Net, we will establish a large area to be used as our "test ground". The Vox can rule there and we can see how it works out. If it works well, then suits will go into mass production and we will take steps to ascend the rest of the world. If it doesn't work out... well, at least we tried.
