I have opened the turn.

Gaians have sent over Neural Grafting. Our first borehole near KP is completed.

I popped the pod beside Fungal Heights to discover a unity Chopper.
Lal after we donated Doc:Air has switched to and discovered Cyberethics.

Lots of decisions about builds, rushes and former movements to decide.

Also our sea transport has the option to pop the pod (in fungus) or move next to the pod, without fungus, further north and wait until next turn.

Our foil probe is 3 moves from the Gaian Lily of the Valley base which will build a defence probe next turn but is currently probe defenseless.

Lastly with Lal discovering Cyber, I wonder will he trade or is that one of those techs, which because of an associated SP the AI won't trade.

[Mart]

could you send the mid save? sound extremely interesting
-----
just checked email, thanks. I will post my proposals soon. A lot to do. Borehole gives ecodamage large like hell, we need to take off the crawlere from there.

• I think that the foil probe is actually in the save i got from you Hercules, 4 tiles from that Gaian coastal base, not 3. Note, that it is only 2 tiles from Deirdre Memory
• Lal asks for vendetta with Morganities, goes Noncommittal from Solicitous, after I refuse. He warns for his low tolerance of our cooperation with Morganities. When asked for tech exchange, offers Adaptive Doctrine for Neural Grafting. He refuses further trade, since does not want us to get Planetary Datalinks. And says: Lal out.
• Zakharov asks for vendetta with Morganities. Wants Neural Grafting, but refuses to trade Cyberethics for it. He saya we will pay for our arrogance. He is disgusted with our persuit of Wealth. He warns for his low tolerance of our cooperation with Morganities. Refused Pact when I asked him for that. Also he does not want to trade technologies, coz he does not want us to get Planetary Datalinks. He says, he accepted payment for destruction of Gaians, refuses to call off vendetta. apologizes and closes the commlink. He was noncommital all the time.
• Yang ignores the calls.
• We can ofcourse offer a lot of techs to Gaians.
  To Morganities, if Lal trade is done:
  - Intellectual Integrity
  - Neural Grafting
  - Adaptive Doctrine
  To Spartans:
  - Neural Grafting
  - Adaptive Doctrine
  
  Now that I think of it. Maybe we should not exchange Neural Grafting with Lal. Spartans may too easily get it from him. We might sell it for a good price to Morganities or Spartans, though Morganities probably will get it from Gaians.
• Proposed hurry:
  Gemka's Loft, 28 EC
  Kodycryptor, 22 EC
  Snoflake Heaven, 76 EC. Then start right away Bioenhancement Center. This way after that we can build very high morale needlejet unit.
  Total hurry 126 EC.
• Crwler shuffle, as shown. Total 5 crawlers are moved. This gives the following Ecodamage:
  EM, 6
  KP, 6
  SH, 6
  KC, 3
  RPS, 3
  
  Specialists:
  EM, 2 technicians
  KP, 1 technician
  KC, 1 technician
  RPS, 1 technician
  
  And Kahlua Probing do work on the borehole, so we get both 6 minerals and 6 energy.
• Formers, as drawn in the screenie.
• I would move LIT towards Kahlua Probing for later we may use it for faster getting Fungy MK1 into fungus on Pholus Ridge. I think that this region should be especially treated for fungus since it is bonus area.
• I would attempt to pop the pod in the fungus north from transport foil. What to set up for possible mineral pod? I do not know. I have no idea at the moment. We may "turn off" the bases switching temporarily for stockpile energy for the time of popping. Just remember to turn them back.
• Monolith at 19, 63 I would switch to Kodycryptor. Less total polution and more uniform that way.
• That would be it for the time being.

Looks good.

So, this means we won't be able to infiltrate the Gaians then?

If so, I propose to let it continue east over the Gaians and then north to that Spartan Manifold Nexus base. If we coordinate with our regular probe teams towards that base, we might be able to infiltrate it after taking out the obligatory probe defender.

[Mart]

We are like 2 hours smth to the deadline. Hercules, are you around?

[GeoModder]

Appearantly not. Do you have a midsave you can finish on?

[Mart]

Yes, I do. I can do it.

A question:
In Kahlua Probing there is ready colony pod. Where is the planned base?

[Mart]

Ok, Shortly I play the turn...

[GeoModder]

Regarding the base, I have no idea.

[Mart]

I moved towards 13,67. It is close. For new bases on the eastern shore we should build colony pods maybe in Gemka's Loft or RPS.

[Hercules]

Whoops I missed the turn.

And there was not a problem. My apologies.

[Mart]

I left some testing stuff in offers to Morganities and Spartans. Luckily it was not accepted or anything.

I wrote Morganities that it is a list of our trade possibilities for this moment. They of course bubble some nonesens to it. They are so tiresome with their lack of precise information.

[GeoModder]

Well, will they be surprised after the game to know we infiltrated them waaaaay before.

[Mart]

I received a message from a Morganic member that he heard there was preaccepted Pact with 3 techs from us. There were in state of negotiating 3 techs and world map (my shameless mistake) but NOT pact and NOT pre-accepted. Where do they get such informations?

Now some 2-day new member played their turn. Are Morganities in state of falling apart now?

Regarding our turn. I sailed into fungus near Gaian base, if they have a ship nearby, they still may not spot us. I wish so much they take this probe team to hive frontline. After all, they have cheaper 0-1-1 Probe Gimp unit like our COP, so maybe that regular probe team is scheduled to depart?

From that pod on sea I got 75 EC. I hurried hab complex in EM additionally. We should make our headquarters the best base as soon as possible...
