Turns 2161- 2170

[GeoModder]

Mart, if you have a clean turn, please save it, I have reload messages already on the incoming one, and Hercules sent the wrong one!

[GeoModder]

We better have Herc's turn. If I try to move the transport in the fungus for landing the probe on 11.25, I get IoD's

[Hercules]

You may be right but the only moves I made were the transport to near the Uni as above and our probe towards Gaia.

[Mart]

Also, I think it might be better to disembark in fungus, as on the screenie. In 2164 we could attempt to do action when there is need of the two tiles in red circles to be free of units, and free of probe Mendelev base. In case we have problems, there little could be done.

Now, some better option might be gagarin memorial, but I think probe might be there. But there are many tiles around, where in one move probe might disembark and the second do the probing.

[Mart]

Hercules, I do not have then the right save
Maybe send again that last one.
CMNs may demand that.

[Mart]

Actually I made mistake on the screenie.
First move is full 1 move
Second 1/3
Remaining 2/3 is for the action. 1/3 would be sufficient too
------
I also noticed, there is a forest growth near KP and EM, outside base. We can put a crawler there, making one more forest tile available for workers. KP may make 12 min/turn then. Details later

[GeoModder]

Well, I don't think we gonna see Herc again 'till monday.

Perhaps asking for an extension due to this? Official moves were made after all, and it can only go worse when we try to copy Herc and encounter alien life or suddenly have a lot of fungus around red mineral bases.

[Mart]

We got Herc's open save. The only problem is where he moved the foil probe...
The foil transport is in disclosed location. We know where to move it. no problem here
We may see Hercules again - he mention mid Saturday.
If CMNs agree for moving foil probe best to our knowledge, we can proceed without delay.

[GeoModder]

The thing is that on Hercs' save he appearantly did not encounter IoD's in the fungus. When I copied his moves I spotted not one but two.

The general course of our foil probe is not such a problem IMO.

Yes I have opened the turn.

I have moved our transport to 13,25. ... I tend to favour disembarking now at 11.25.

The 13,25 is on the energy bonus, between two fungus tiles. Also the 11,25 is the only tile (without fungus) where probe can disembark.

I drew the course I wanted to do. Not what Hercules reported. Sorry for misunderstanding. We can proceed then if we can in this case. Hercules did not attempt to enter fungus with transport foil.

[GeoModder]

Ah, ok. A good chance the probe will bounce back from fungus then. I suggest trying to put it on the fungal river tile with it's second movement. It will probably bounce back but trying doesn't hurt.

How about trying an traceless mindprobe on the Hive impact next to Heavens Gate? It's 68 energy. And it might delay war with the Hive for 2 turns untill those impact infantry units are close enough.

My tests with Data Angels show a good chance of success, despite the low odds given when selecting the attempt.

[ForesterSOF]

Be diplomatic by email.

If we do not get the responce we want then mind control ASAP.

[GeoModder]

Um, Hive is NOT played by a team, you know...

[Mart]

I start to think if we really gain that much by making the vendetta this one or two turns later. The wave will come just a bit earlier. We gonna have perimeter very soon. Also sensor is in place too for Heavens Gate. Is it worth of the risk of failing the mind control? How about our reputation for mind control - does it go down if other than traceless?
We could just probe both units normally and have it done.

[Mart]

I pmed Drogue for permission to proceed now with our save.
Waiting for response.
