Why the need for a second thread? I thought we posted in this thread?

Looks like my post didn't make it before.
UN forces are setting up camp and focusing on produciton of nutrients to support our population. Many of our female colonists are expecting, so rise in population is expected soon !

2105 sent to the lovely Lady SITS at "her" old e-mail address since I don't have the new one with me. Just in case, I am attaching the move here:
Our colonists continue to massively exploit all available nutrients and getting fat and having lots of babies. All this babymaking leaves very little time for research or contruction of new units or bases, unfortunately.

dd - I looked at this thread after I sent you an email requesting that you send it to my new address - ignore it!
We have our scouts out looking for interesting things to write about so we won't have to fill space with words that have no meaning.

2106 to Scipio
Today is a tense day indeed. As we sit, pondering the fate of our lone colony pod in the sea of fungus, our thoughts must of course go out to the beleaguered colonists inside. They know not their fate - which, barring a miracle, looks grim. Our thoughts and prayers are with them at this time.

January 2107
A monument has been erected in UN headquarters to recognize our first research breakthrough, which now gives us the ability to terraform and further increase food supplies for our growing population. This breakthough occurred in 2106, the same year of the very first breakthough on Planet which was achieved by Provost Smarty-Pants. The UN faction considers its research to be progresing very well indeed when can keep pace with the arrogant Cult of University.

This year, the first of many temporary radio stations was set up around University territory - and how fortunate that it was. Not only did we hear the first sigs of other life on Chiron, but it transpired that these other colonists were not particularly friendly toward us.
The signal we received was rather poor quality, but certain phrases were clearly recognisable. The transmission, muttered in a distinctly Indian accent, went as follows:

A monument.................UN Headquarters..........recognize our first research ............................the ability to terraform and further increase food supplies for our growing population. This breakthough...................the same year..........very first breakthough on Planet..............................Provost Smarty-Pants. ..........considers its research to be progresing very well...............the arrogant Cult of University.
|
This transmssion has both alarmed and puzzled us. Firstly, how did 'UN Headquarters' obtain our labs reports for the year? And secondly, why do they insist on boasting of the discovery of such primitive technology? The mind boggles...
In other news, the Colony Pod was saved by our gallant scout patrol - which, although it took heavy losses, saved the day.

------------------
The CEO leaned forward and said, "There's too much fungus for our current terraformer batallions to handle. Ideas? People?" He waited patiently for responses from the other members of the Executive Board of Directors.
Craven Spunkmeier - Junior VP of Testing the Waters (and the newest member of the Board) - looked around at the other Board members and in a subdued voice suggested, "We could have New New York City produce an auxilliary terraformer batallion to help out with fungus removal..." his voice trailed off lamely at the end.
There was a moment of absolute silence and then Scipio leaned back, steepling his hands over his belly and said, "Allright, how 'bout this? We have New New York City produce an auxilliary terraformer batallion to help out with fungus removal."
The other Directors glanced at each other and with much nodding of heads and other affirmations, they all quickly voiced there approval of the CEO's brilliant idea...
"Right on the nose, Chief!"
"Homerun!!"
"You 'da man!"
etc, etc, etc.
Scipio voiced a silent prayer to God for blessing him with such a talented set of Executive Directors to assist him in executing his plans for the fledgling Industrial Alliance

2107 sent to the Peacekeepers.
-------
Temptation has reared its ugly head again. In this new Garden, it seems that it has taken the form of a piece of wreckage from the Unity and some documents rather than a serpent and an apple as in Eden.
One of our noble Scout Patrols found a pod that had fallen from the explosion of the Unity. They were hoping that it would contain supplies that would be useful to our people. Instead it contained a file of documents containing schematics and formulas.
They passed the file through proper channels, but some of our well-meaning scientists decided to pursue the data contained within. Even though they have been very diligent in maintaining the 10 year ban on new research, they felt that since they weren't "researching" these new ideas, it would be okay to implement them since they found them intact.
I wish they would have consulted me first. It appears as if this new technology concerns itself with money. I know it is wrapped up in the guise of energy credits and reserves, but it boils down to the same old vice...Greed!
We must be very careful with this new technology and hope that it does not begin to corrupt our virtuous population.
In the wake of this event, I have decided to extend the ban on research for another 10 years to carefully study the direction we need to pursue when it comes to future research efforts.

Greetings. Googlie invited me to take over the position as representative of the Industrial Alliance, and I have accepted. If each of you would send me your name and faction via the email address you'd like turns and negotiations sent to, we can continue this game.

Ironwood I'm not sure which position you are taking over... Should I have sent you the turn for the Hive? If so I'll attach it here...
Welcome aboard!
Our scout patrols are performing heroics in the field by winning two battles that was forced on us against the Mindworms. If only we could find a way of communicating then I'm sure we could co-exist together.
