2223 to Drago



Hive Game

The hive are proud of their ability to strike at, and empty of defenders, a Spartan base on the far side of the Spartan empire. The Hive hereby announces its intention to mount a major invasion of the Spartan homeland by 2235.


Gaians

Man the Hive is throwing scads of units at me. . . . Open turn, kill 5 Hive units, end turn repeat. Also sudden happiness across the entire gaian empire is increasing energy production and research.

University game

We are pleased to announce the completion of the Longevity vaccine. exploration and research are also continuing as the University continues its outward growth.

[Drago Sinio]

turns passed.

I thought that base was bigger last time I looked! And yet there are no blue planes? Kamikaze attack? Invisibility planes? We are officially confused.

Attack in 2235? Okay, we'll be here. Go right ahead.

[cbn]

Well we are not telling LOL

Yup 2235 but in the meantime our planes are going to harrass the heck out of you. I am really liking the Hive as a war machine.

The other games are much less successful for me. The Gaians are just facing oodles and oodles of Hive units while the University is still exploring. I think they might be in a position to mount at least some nuisance attacks on the Spartans soon but the distances are vast.

2225 turn to cbn

Just ten turns to a really bad case of the blues.

2225 back to Drago

Hive game

"Did they accept the information about the invasion that we leaked?"

"It appears so as they have gone to full scale military production. Our thinking is that they could not afford to ignore the threat"

"Will we invade then??"

"Perhaps. It is one scenario but there are several alternate attack plans.


Gaian game

The Gaians are pleased to announce that they have completed the Empath Guild and immediately called an election for governor. Final returns are still coming in but the exit polls are indicating a possible Gaian victory.


University game

man this world is BIG. The University is pleased to announce the completion of the cyborg factory. Combine this with a planned move away from the Wealth SE choice and the university hopes to produce troops whose morale rivals that of even the Spartans

2226 to cbn

Hive Game. - Attack? No Attack? Ack! Ack! AcK! Blue Planes? Invisible Planes? We suspect that some bizarre alien retro virus has invaded our neural network, rendering us incapable of rational thought. Luckily, we have our tinfoil hats to protect us.

University Game. We continue to direct our energy towards expansion, one way or another.

Gaian Game. A civilian research vessel operating in International waters was approached by a crazed Gaian work crew shouting something about "Green Peas" and circling us and otherwise trying to interfere with our research. We sunk the looneys.

[cbn]

2226 to the Spartans (sort of)

Hive game

The turn was 2223-- please resend 2226


Gaian game

The Spartan research gunship felt such remorse at their orders to kill an unarmed work crew that they repudiated their Spartan membership and joined the gaian navy. It is anticipated that their ship will be modified to inprove its capabilities. The crew are already marvelling at their increased speed after some gaian engineering

Uni game

Not much of interest

[Drago Sinio]

Turn to cbn, back together again.

We feel much better now, having FINALLY shot down one of those 337 purple hive planes . "Purple planes, all round my brain, lately things just dont seem the same." Jimi Hendrix

*** All military numbers classified ***

We indeed have some planes shot down and it has been decided to gather the forces for a massive offensive very "soon".


Gaian Status report


14 bases
22 crawlers
10 sea crawlers
17 formers
17 Sea formers


The Spartans attempted a long range landing in the Gaian homeland. Both the unit and the transport were quickly dispatched by elements of the 14th Air Wing


University

forgot to count

yep that Fort Hope Simpson is a good base to have with those couple of SPs. I wondered why the Hive stopped dribbling units my way and now I know-- They have massive numbers of units in that direction. If the AI knew what to do with all those units, we would both be in trouble.

2228 to Drago

-----------------------------

Hive game

Hive Central is pleased to report its most successful night of air raids yet. Bombing at Training Camp hit a convention of secret agents, killing at least 7 probe teams. A tactical blasted a spartan fighter from the sky but not before one of our bombers was shot down. Thankfully their chutes opened and the pilots were unhurt. Further bombing struck at Spartan infrastructure to reduce their capability to wage war.

--------------------

Gaian game

Reports from Planet Control indicate that a Spartan missle cruiser was sunk in the waters north of Gaia. A Spartan transport was also detected by air and naval elements but was out of range. War with both the believers and Hive continues. We are pleased to report that their air forces were caught inside a base and that 8 planes were destroyed

-----------------------------------------------------------------

University game

No major battles.

2229 to cbn

Hive Game: Ouch.

Gaian Game: A sneak attack by a Believing missile foil was valiantly handled by our gallant former crew, who sunk the enemy ship. A commando raid to avenge the sinking of our missile cruiser by the evil cbn is being planned.

University Game: Sighted University chopper, and shot it down.
Our intelligence team reports success in several raids against enemy bases.
