  • MORGAN INDUSTRIES - History Thread

    Managers, leaders and employees!

    This will serve as a record of our society´s rise, a history thread that will tell our children and grandchildren how their hard-working ancestors managed to achieve world domination build a vibrant economic powerhouse in such a harsh environment.
    It will tell the story of a small bunch of visionaries leading a group of colonists and engineers to a dusty, hostile planet in order to found a society of unlimited possibilities, unmatched wealth and leading sciences.

    As I have served as the historian of the Human Hive in a prior life ( ) I would like to try to keep track of all happenings from the beginning. The worst thing is to let a month go by without updating, for then it´s almost impossible to continue the history. Therefor I´d like not to name any official historian, but instead let anyone contribute if he/she feels like it

    Notice that
    a) the date is given European style (dd/mm/yyyy), as I think it´s more reasonable
    b) all dates are GMT

                          CHRONICLE (2101-2111)
                          MY 2101
                          Landing on Planet surface. Two Colonization vessels and a lightly armed scout brigade survived the planetfall. The surroundings look promising; it´s rainy and the soil seems fertile! Further south, a huge river runs through a flat valley. Both colony pods head there, while the scouts move east to explore. As the latter approach the silhouette of a giant mountain massive they stumble across a strange creature: A fungal tower! Biologists classify it as native lifeform, officiers as a threat. Debate starts on whether to attack it or leave it there.


                          MY 2102
                          The Scout brigade "Alpha" successfully attacks the horrible fungal tower, however only 800 out of 2000 soldiers survive the assault. Those brave troopers are now considered the "hard core" of the Morganite army. The remnants of the native lifeform are sold to private research facilities for 10EC.
                          Upon arrival at the river quite near its source, the first Colonists have started construction of a base called "Morgan Industries". Headquarters are set up there. The other group of colonists go down the river, passing a mighty waterfall. Nearby a Unity pod is found, providing material to build a hydroelectric power plant! The colonists went further down the river and finally reach a promising base site. They settle down there, thus founding the base "Morgan Metallurgy".


                          MY 2103
                          Both bases have equipped scout brigades for further exploration. While the newly formed "Beta Brigade" leaves Morgan Industries to the south, where a never river is quickly located, the "Gamma Brigade" follows a tributary up to its source. It´s located high up in the mountains, which consist mainly of a giant volcano named Mt. Drogue. The heavily decimated "Alpha Brigade" remains at the battlefield, where it has built a camp and started integration of recruits into its ranks.
                          Rivers will be named "Greed River", "Drogue River" and "Red Fungus River".


                          MY 2104
                          "Alpha Brigade" discovers huge alien architecture close to camp, they call it the "Morgan Monolith". The unit is reinforced to maximum strength to be able to study the structure, while the officiers get promoted. Upon discovery, the fungus in the area has simply disappeared, scientists argue about possible reasons. So far only one thing is known: Morgan Metallurgy, as closest base, claims the monolith as base area, thus marketting it as tourist attraction. Scientific Research laboratories also settle in the region.
                          With the geographical distance between HQ and the monolith research centres the need for intra-factional information networks similar to the old "Internet" becomes apparent. The board agreed that the bases will someday need network nodes.


                          MY 2105
                          "Beta Brigade" investigates Unity pod south of Morgan Industries, discovering materials and equipment to build a network node for the capital! Celebrations take place all across the faction, for this acquisition saves years of contruction and planning and thus hundreds of ECs!
                          To the east, "Gamma Brigade" has found numerous geysires at the eastern flank of Mt. Drogue, providing huge (and cheap) energy resources for possible nearby bases!


                          MY 2106
                          One year after the discovery of the "Morgan Monolith" the well-known veterans of the "Alpha brigade" find a second structure near the mouth of "Greed River", identical with the first one. They call it "Greed River Monolith". Again Morgan Metallurgy officially claims the area, though the board hasn´t assigned research teams there yet. In the east the "Gamma Brigade" discovers a third structure of the same type as the previous ones! It´s located directly on the coast, so they call it "Drogue Beach Monolith".


                          MY 2107
                          Moving up the "Red Fungus River" the "Alpha Brigade" climbs the southern "Fungus Mountains", reporting rough terrain. Meanwhile the "Gamma Brigade" is ordered back west and the "Beta Brigade" starts uncovering the surroundings of Morgan Industries.
                          This year is passing calmly, without anything special occuring. So the media institutions are concentrating on the lawsuit against Nwabudike Morgan (and cooking programs).


                          MY 2108
                          The first Morgan Industries College of Economics class has finished their educational training! Several good dissertations have been created, amongst them a work on Industrial Economics, which has deeply impressed the board members. With the theories developed there, a new economic model became possible. For its similarity to the old earth´s capitalistic system it´s been called "Free Market", though it is far more than that.
                          Energy generation through market activities could be increased enormously due to the new system, and that stimulates research as well as economy and industry.
                          West of Morgan Industries, in the frontier lands, "Beta Brigade" has discovered a strange native lifeform! Although a certain relationship to the fungal tower is obvious, this time the object is moving and seems to be very hostile - and dangerous.
                          The board discusses further actions regarding that creature - maybe contact could be made with an intelligent species (and thus new markets could be opened up? )


                          MY 2109
                          Contacting the aliens has failed! A bad day for our faction! The moment our scientists approach the creature it suddenly attacks! Fortunately the men of the "Beta Brigade" react quickly and manage to slay the alien lifeform. Almost 50 young men and women lose their lives in the fighting, another 150 are rendered disabled by strange psionic warfare...
                          The creature actually is a boil of worm-like aliens, hardly intelligent as it seems. More like... bugs... Giant bugs that cause fear and panick at attack. Many of those who encounter these worms - or "mindworms", as they are commonly called now, suffer from mental diseases. Scientists speak of "mindworm syndrome"...
                          During the funeral obsequies, while the survivors get awarded the "order of discipline", our "Gamma Brigade" in the far east discovers a third lifeform. From the looks it is like a land-based coral. Organic tubes, maybe used to breed mindworms inside? After the latest incidents our scientists will be much more careful (and much less considerate) when examining the object.
                          Meanwhile the "Alpha Brigade" reaches the top of the southern "Fungus mountains", a peak 2942m above sea level they call "Mt. Kody". It seems as if there also is a profitable energy source up there, but this needs further investigation.

                          A tragedy!!! Despite all warnings, the "Gamma Brigade" tries to capture the tube-like organism; The latter defends itself by launching a cloud of deadly spores! Those penetrate the lungs from the inside and cause death within half a minute. Fortunately the spores are heavy and thus fall down quickly, so they are practically harmless if not inhalated within the first minute.
                          However that attack costs the life of 1,400 soldiers, two third of the entire Brigade! A true military desaster!
                          Both other units discover rivers, a broad, slow running stream to the north ("Sweet Leisure River") and a rather small but wild river coming down from Mt. Kody ("Kody Cascades"). The two units rest at the banks and get themselves some refreshment there .

                          As time goes by, the need for further expansion becomes apparent. Several promising locations have been spotted, so now the board members are dicussing and comparing the options.
                          To the north, "Beta Brigade" stumbles across extraordinarily abundand mineral resourses at the Sweet Leisure River. At the same time the veterans of the "Alpha brigade" discover a fourth monolith structure, which they name "Clarckson Monolith", after the Corporal who first reported it.
                          With so many of these structures on so little of the planet´s surface, many ask for the origin, and more important, for the purpose of the monoliths. Although hundreds of scientists work on it, only little is known yet. Obviously the giant objects stimulate subjective perceptions, meaning that many of those coming into contact with them tend to become more resistant to stress, pain and exhaustion. If that effect is reached by using chemicals, new types of energy or simply as a placebo, is yet unknown.

                            I think I have now reserved enough space for the Morgan Industries Chronological History Archive (MICHA).

                            You may now post replies here...

                              Made the Chronicles design easier to update. If someone feels like continuing those, just step in and let us know!
