Morgan 2102: While this Planet appears quite hostile to our factions aims there is no doubt a profit to be made. By terraforming this barren wasteland we can transform this worthless rock into a gem of the Milky Way and reap its rewards.

The landing has so far been a complete success. The spas and jacuzzis will be off loaded from the lander within the hour. Morgan out.

2103 to Gaia.

Merde, I got the believers on what looks like a small island. Tough times ahead.

[Hobbes_One]

Turn turned. Hmmmmm, not much happening in my corner of the world. [I am quite interested in those spas you're unloading though Whiteelephants. Could be very relaxing.]

Believers are much comforted by the words of Master Tau

buster: Things are not what they seem...

[Hobbes_One]

Turn turned.

No small isle near- hopefully that means we're not neighbours this time buster! Sent scout off to scale a nearby mountain peak. Popped a pod & found a foil! Sweeeeeeet!

2105 to Gaia.

Nothing like being wanted by the closest around.
If not neighboars now - maybe we will be later.

This year we have re-established the Bachii Ball leagues as well as the Brige Clubs here on Planet. Perhaps we could finance the beginnings of an interplanetary crochet league in the coming years and, if the good Chairman Yand has survived planet fall, once again dominate as we did on the Unity. Ah, it brings joy to my heart to recall the expression on Lady Deidre's face as the Chairman and I crushed her and Lal time and time again. Tonight I have plans to meet with William Gates the fifth and discuss how we, Morgan Industries, will harvest the energy from this god foresaken planet and perhaps lay the foundations for a energy and science based economy to dominate in the coming years. Oh, dear me, how time flies, I've nearly missed my tea time. Morgan out.

[Hobbes_One]

Turn turned.

Well, we're pleased to report the founding of our beachside retreat: Echo Beach. Everyone is invited to our basewarming party. Bring your surfboards & SCUBA gear!

Popped a pod & found a tech. Even sweeter!

2107 to Gaia.

Believers find consolence in the though that they were put on this barren, fungus ridden stretch of planet as a test of faith, and that the righteous will ultimately triumph.
