Turn is sent.

[TigToad]

CEO TigToad got out of the escape pod and watched as pods fell from all over the sky around what was being set up as the first permanant base camp of the corporation that just a few hours before was being run by the late Morgan. A real pity his sudden death when the pod set down...

Immediately, the CEO knew that hijacking those 'extra' supply pods from the Unity was going to pay off big on this new world. The sensors showed a wealth of valuable territory near the polls, however due to the way the Unity was going down we had no choice but to choose one of the three large central islands. At least these islands had a few merits of their own.

With the base camp set, and the pods and scouts out on their way, the first order of business was to gather up a few of the local unity pods that fell with our supply ships. Some interesting finds came up including {{{CLASSIFIED INFORMATION: LEVEL 3 SECURITY REQUIRED}}}. Fortunately, we were able to deal with what came up at us.

(Uh, all this basically says that the turn has been passed on to the Peacekeepers..)

It's in the hands of the Hive.

(Blunderdog's Log, MY 2100) If it's not one thing, it's another. First, I thought I had the whole Unity bathroom sharing fiasco smoothed over when somebody goes and whacks the captain. Now I land on some godforsaken island covered in some sort of sticky red fungus. I should have never worn these new white Topsiders. *Sigh* A Peacekeeper's job is never done.

Another year down, where does the time go!

[TigToad]

The new CEO read the reports being piled on his desk. It seems since landing all I'd done is read reports as to what his units were finding in the local country-side. Some bizarre things have been popping up in the Unity pods... certainly not standard issue unity possessions, these!

Recently, the comm-system that had been set up in CEO Tig's office a couple days before with the frequencies of the Hive and Peacekeepers... just not sure when would be the best time to put in that first call.

[Blunderdog]

I've sent along my turn.

[Garth Vader]

Chairman Vader would like to report his dissatisfaction with his com procedure which forces him to manually reconnect and which imposes a fee if he goes over his time limit. But despite these hardships our socialist hoard has completed it's duties and sent our progress to be processed by the ultimate of capitalist excess and indulgence.

[TigToad]

The one true group that understands how capitalism can truely make a government great has passed on its turn to the Peacekeepers. We are practiced in ignoring the ignorant ramblings of a corrupt socialst regime so see no need to reply to their unprofitable grumblings.

CEO Daniel

[Blunderdog]

Back to the Hive. The Peacekeepers reserve comment, but have duly noted the possible source of friction.

[TigToad]

Turn 4 has been passed on to the Peacekeepers... Daniel

[Blunderdog]

Whoops, I was sent Morgan's turn, not PK. Could you re-send?

[Garth Vader]

--Hive official News---

Everything is fine

[TigToad]

Ooops..correct was made, correct file sent.. Clearly the Morganites just got confused counting all our fortunes and the file got misplaced.

Daniel-Tig

[Blunderdog]

OK, it's back with the Hive now.
