Rubinic Report, M.Y. 2134:
The Rubinic Scout Unit has not yet reached the other side of the crimson fields. It shows that the area is outside Rubinic territory. Public unrest and general discontentment among the citizens currently prevents the Scout Unit from venturing outside Rubinic borders.
Also, the Rubinic Report dating from M.Y. 2133 is lost. Guesses are that speculations will be made in future history books as to what happened that year - the transistion from the first third of the century.
*Public Announcement, M.Y. 2134*
11 years after Brother Lal announced the initiantion of Chiron's first Secret Project. Sister Miriam announces that the Believers are participating in the race for The Merchant Exchange. End of Report
Turn 2134 complete. Turn passed to Lord Chip of the Gaians.
Rubinic Report, M.Y. 2135
ML3dV Public Transmission, CEO Rubin: I resent the ideas and propaganda of the 'New Chiron Party'. To survive on this planet we need to stand tall and together. [...]
The time has come for us to reap the fruits of our hard work. The time has come to make this planet ... home! Scientists have finally come up with the insights and knowledge. Workers have provided the final dimension. In a few years the idea of 'the New Hope' is complete. Know this: This is just the beginning of our prosperity. We shall continue in all the years to follow. Welcome home! End of Report
Reports from 2-GEF show that the indiginous "mind worms" can travel through the native fungus at great speeds. Gaian eco-scientists are hoping to put the knowledge gained in military applications to productive civilian use.

How do you trade in PBEM? Do you have to give the one your trading with your tech and hope that he's honest enough to give you his, or does he get to make a counteroffer when you've sent your offer?
Rubinic Report, M.Y. 2136
Planet's first Secret Project is complete. Early in M.Y. 2136 Rubinic workers and engineers laid the final hand on The Weather Paradigm.
ML3dV Special Report: This magnificent construction, rising almost 130 meters into the twin sun sky, is indeed a wonder to behold. The slim, silvery tower-like structure - named the Weather Paradigm - has sensors going deeply into the planet's mantle. We let the 'mastermind' behind this project explain the secrets it holds:
Jeneba: When we first dug into this planet we were completely surprised at what we found. The planet's core seemed to emit some kind of energy or signals. We now have a tentative understanding of these ... well, signal waves. By constantly transmitting these 'crudely decoded' signal waves to all of our terraforming units, we're able to reshape the surface at a much more efficient rate. Still, the origin and exact nature of the energies elude us. But we've taken the first small step towards uncovering this mysterious phenomenon.
*Public Announcement, M.Y. 2136*
Consensus has been reached on the supposed availability of the *Sea Pod. By M.Y. 2137 no human faction is allowed to build this unit prior to the discovery of Doctrine: Flexibility. End of Report
Turn passed to Lord Chip of the Gaians
Gufnork: Diplomacy is quite safe. The only downside is the number of turns it takes to complete a transaction. If you present an offer, you can choose not to pre-accept if you fear being the victim of cunning diplomacy. The deal is complete once you accept the counteroffer presented to YOU. You'll have to wait one more turn if you choose to alter your initial offer. This process continues as long as one of you alter the deal. It might be easier for you to run a multiplayer test to see how this works. I did. I'm not sure if breaking pre-accepted deals is considered a kind of cheat. Since we have not agreed on anything regarding this matter ... anything goes. Beware!
Rubinic Report, M.Y. 2137:
Rubinite workers have discovered that they are unable to to access the vast amount of resources seemingly available. Scientists are tying to find a solution. End of Report
Turn 2137 complete. Turned to Chip.
Gufnork: Well.. All of them, actually! (Edit: I got a reload warning saying you may have had at least 1 reload. What happened?)
