Lt. Hobbeson, 2115.38:
Sirs, we have found the Unity's bridge...it tracked the pods' desents, and we know were some of them landed...It will take a long time to analize all the data.
We have also found some choppers in the cargo bay. We were able to salvage some, and the unit is heading over to Safe Haven now.
We have deemed this island unsutible for colonization, seeing as how the entire place is desert due to the blast of the crash...we are awaiting pickup.

A transmission from the Cult leaks throoughout Planet

CHANNEL 3 NEWS

Prophet cbn visited local schools today and in a talk to the children and parents, praised them for their devotion to Planet. He called for further dedication and announced the implementation of additional Planet conciousness classes each day. Local clergy praised the move as refocusing the nation from secular concerns to core values. In related news, a recent survey indicates that the portion of people now attending service at least 5 times weekly now exceeds 95%.

The Ministry of Nutrition Blessings today announced a banner crop. Experts credited the combination of meditation and prayer as leading to a beneficial relationship with Planet.

The Ministry of the True Way today confirmed the rumors that contact has been made with unbelievers on Planet. Ministry officials stated that all unbelievers immediately accepted the True way. However there are unconfirmed reports that the unbelievers rejected cult overtures and appeared to be prospering without the Blessings of Planet. The Ministry did confirm that the public is no longer permitted to travel to outlying regions but stated that those regions were being used for training of the Holy Order Guard and the restrictions are unrelated to contact with unbelievers.

Turn 2119 to Q-tip...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Robert Dervani, personal log.

Some have survived...and they are insane. We have made contact
with one pod's people. They speak of "Voices", and are friendly with the mind-worms. Frankly, I don't think they are quite on-the-level.
Still, our leader says that we should be pragmatic, in all things. They have techknology that we don't, and we shall try to trade. As chief ambassador for the Commodore, I have offered a treaty.

We will steer clear of their land for now.

Unless they attack us.

Drone Planetary Geography Advisor MY2119

One of our long range scouts were destroyed by a mind worm infestation of a colony pod, sir. Colony pods shoud be approached with caution from here on out. It appears the Cult of Planet survived the destruction of the Unity and have built a formidable empire on Planet. Their control over the native life is wonder to behold ..........

Prophet cbn sent an open message to the Drones

Foreman Qtip,

I want to send my heartfelt sympathies over the death of your scout patrol. We have included with this message (20 boxes of) expressions of sympathy from our populace to the families of your deceased soldiers. The grief is felt profoundly among the many of our group that remember their friendships with your citizens on the Unity.

It is a tragedy that is felt across planet. I offer to send missionaries to assist your people in their time of grief and to educate your people in the True Way. By embracing the only true faith in Planet and following the Way you might live in accord with Planet and better avoid such incidents.

Unfortunately our control of mindworms is tenuous at best and we were unable to assist you in repulsing the wild worm attack. We also wish to assure you that any units we have in the area are for the purpose of exploration and training only.

---------------------------------------------------------------

So folks --am I capturing the flavor of the cult ?? I like to do this since its a bit of fun for me to get into the role (probably boring the rest of you to tears).

The Commodore · March 16, 2001, 00:30

Turn 2120 to drones...

cbn, you are making us nervous...take care, you're in between two powerful factions...I'll be happy to be peaceful, but don't annoy us to much.

If you want to bump heads, I know where the Spartans are.

cbn · March 16, 2001, 01:06

Commodore

Why do I make anyone nervous?? I act in peace and have attacked no one. I have made no hostile acts but instead am willing to trade freely with anyone who wishes to make an offer. I have no wish to bump heads with anyone but do not wish to see other faction's military within my boundaries.

And the only reason I would want information of the Spartans would be so that I could avoid them LOL.

Heh...the two MP newbies are in first and second place.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mayor Feris, personal log:

The mountain roared.
I was checking up on the workers. They had found a new plant, one which is rather like, in both taste and texture, the Earth blackberry. As I walked around the farm, I felt the ground move. Forman Wqui was just telling me that this plant could only be planted in rainy areas. As the ground began to shake, he just sat there, in shock. Then, in the distance, the vast mountain over us belched smoke and roared like a lost spirit.

That is all it did, this time. My energy/mineral chief is estatic. He claims that this volcano will give massive boosts to our energy and mineral prodution, when we move higher up the slope. I am told that the base is safe, as it is far out of the shore.

Plans are being made to make a new base higher up.

I do not put much stock in the powergraph in the early days-- If as the Cult popping some worms, I was not in or near the lead I would really worry- I mean minuses to industy and economy are very big in the long run.
