Foreman cbn was saddened to learn that a massive force known as "OUTSIDE WORLD" had slowed the passage of time on Planet but understands that these forces are powerful and unavoidable and will inevitably strike all factions from time to time.


EXERPT FROM DRONE NEWS CHANNEL 3


Today lines of Drone childern lined up outside all Drone factories on news that a new Drone invention the "former" is forthcoming. The foreman has promised tractor rides to all children that can be accomodated before the vehicles are pressed into service.


--

Vice foreman Wu today announced a 20% increase in production on all factory lines in zone B . He praised the workforce for their dedication in a ceremony opening the daycare and accodation facilities at factory 12. While most workers are enthusiastic about the new facilities, a vocal minority complained that it is part of a plot to pressure people into working even longer hours.

Exploration of Drone territory continued as a number of Drone units reported there findings. Foreman cbn reported to the populace that

"Are we live, is this working? Oh!"

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Morgan studios is proud to present the new and improved data transmission facilities of Morgan Industries! The new high-bandwidth facilities will allow uninterrupted service and data throughput to all of Planet."

"The timing of this event could not be more fortuitous, as contact with our colleagues, the Spartans, leads us to forge ahead into ever expanding markets."

I'm back! New cable modem in place. Old cable modem: in the trash. Looks like @Home service was disabled only in this little corner of Iowa. *sheepish grin*

Foreman cbn addressed the crowd while standing in front of the fleet of newly built formers. " We have sacrificed much but now have vehicles that can alter this place. We will produce these until we have a fleet capable of transforming not only the lands but our very way of life. Hard labour is no more. No more must we work with shovels and picks. We will instead ride in comfort and work efficiently. To maximize the use of these machines we must lengthen our day shift from the present 10 hours to a 12 hour shift and also institute a night shift"

"The past 17 years have been difficult as we strive to establish ourselves on this harsh and infertile world. But our sacrifices are paying dividends and with a few more years of effort we shall have established a paradise where each working drone lives comfortably with no oppressive upper classes attempting to appropriate the results of OUR LABOURS !!"

The dream was a simple one. The Starship Unity would leave a ravaged Earth and make a new home for its people on a new planet. Up there among the stars, I believed we could avoid the greed and violence that combined to destroy our native lands. As a xenobiologist, I knew we HAD to.

And then I woke up ...

"Back on Earth, the normal time for pine trees to grow ten feet tall is anywhere between 15 and 25 years, depending on the climate and soil conditions. However, here on Planet, that time is reduced to no more than five years. Moreover, we have also discovered something even more amazing. Trees on Planet grow just as well in arid climates as they do in moist or even rainy climates."

Report of Lieutenant Domai (Scout patrol Company B)


It is my duty to report an odd event. As instructed, our squad enetered the mysterious tower to investigate. While nothing of note was discovered inside, there was a weird effect on the squad. When we entered the main chamber there was a sudden high-pitched whine that came from all sides for approximately 1 second and all squad members report a tingly feeling all over. The doctor has checked out the squad and there were no ill effects. In fact each squad member is scoring precisely 12.5% higher on all measures of physical fitness, intelligence and creativity. Weapons accuracy and squad morale and efficiency have also improved. In fact I am pleased to upgrade the squads readiness from "Green" to "disciplined".

We have re-entered the tower (which we now call a monolith) several times since but have not been able to recreate the effect. Respectfully submit that a full science team be dispatched to investigate the possibility that this magical device can improve the effectiveness of other military units.
