We act in your stead and raise earth against all those who come to shores and threaten our people." - Culebras de Ouroboros "With the assistance of Culebras de Ouroboros, Chile has remained free." - Morales "A local syndicate has forced us to reevaluate our tactics in Chile. A land invasion to seize the aquifer may be all but necessary." - Thousand Petals Coalition <br> ### Description Between 2046 and 2048, the [[Thousand Petals Coalition|Coalition]] supported many insurgent groups around the world as they initiated coups within their countries. One such group was an army division in Chile. Before their planned coup, the division carried out a series of false flag street-level attacks on population, claiming to be members of Culebras de Ouroboros, a local syndicate. The intent was to demonstrate the Chilean government could not control a growing criminal presence and spark support from the community when the division made their move. However, they underestimated the Culebras de Ouroboros, who were currently in peace talks with the [[Guardia del Pueblo]]. The syndicate brought proof to the GDP that these attacks weren't carried out by them, and, working together they uncovered the division's coup plot. The GDP launched an assault on the renegade militia. As a demonstration of unity to the public, the GDP and Culebras de Ouroboros fought side by side as they squashed the would-be rebels. It marked one of the few instances where a Coalition-supported coup failed. With the Coalition relying on the coup's success to secure access to the Atacama aquifer, its failure was one of many factors leading to the Coalition's invasion.
