Well, here we go again. I'm sure something will be wrong with this poll, but we've got by with the last couple, so we can make do with this one. I'm not correcting it 8 times, no matter how bad. (I am doing this from memory, BTW) This is a multi-choice poll again, but please restrain yourselves to two choices per person. Unless I win the election, and I haven't been nominated (and I won't nominate myself) this is my last Science Poll, I think. 
Don't cry, but remember the happy times we had in March 2003 together for as long as ye shall liveth. Choose wisely.
The state of play:
We picked up 4 techs in the last turnchat - 3 from our scientists, and one from an artifact :
Advanced Spaceflight
Industrial Nanorobotics
Biomechanics
Photon/Wave Mechanics
And we are currently researching Homo Superior
Again, please don't laugh. This gives us the Universal Translator and Nanohospitals and (with Centauri Psi) leads to The Will To Power. This was popular last week, so vote for it again if you still want to.
The Will To Power (requires Homo Sup. & Cent. Psi)
One for all those mini-Santiagos out there. This will allow us to make the SE choice "Thought Control", and also allow us to build the "Dream Twister", should we so want.
Centauri Psi
This lifts some fungus restrictions, and enables us to build our Psi-cannon legions, which is not much use in a free market, really. But we will require this for researching The Will To Power
Probability Mechanics
Yes, its on offer again. Level 6 armour, and Tachyon Fields. Its safer than a Volvo, and that's pretty safe. With a bit of luck this can lead to...
Nanometallurgy (requires Probability Mechanics
This will soup up our navy with subs, carriers and transports with repair decks. Nautical but nice, and leads on to...
Matter Compression (requires Nanometallurgy)
Wonderfully safe armour made from Neutronium (Level 8). Would you send our soldiers to fight agaist Yang and his minions wearing anything less? Show our troops how much you care with this selection. Its just sooo safe it hurts.
Frictionless Surfaces
Cloaking device, good practical jokes in my laboratories, and a step on the way to Quantum Power, whatever that may (or may not) be.
Digital Sentience
Working on from MMI and our industrial applications of Nanorobotics, our researchers are looking to produce an AI system that will make "Deity" look rather too easy. This will allow our society to become Cybernetic, and also enable the connection of our network nodes to the Network Backbone. Sweet.

Tell me what's wrong with the poll this week.
The Secrets of Quantum Xenobanana Editation
They're secrets, so if you want to know what this is, you have to vote for it.
Butler(Drunkenly) : Same procedure as last poll?
Old Lady(Patiently) : Same procedure as every poll.
Yes, there's basically two paths again, the "Explore" path with [b]Will to Power[b] etc, or the "Warpath" with the armor and guns. There is also the "Third Way" which is Digital Sentience. Choose 2 please. Not path 2, that is, but two choices. Blah. Wie immer.
