Hiverian workers, using construction and technical templates as outlined by the University, have succeeded in completing the first fully functional Cyborg Factory. The occasion was marked by widespread celebration throughout the Hive, although certain elements questioned the morality of its potential applications.

When challenged on this point directly, the Urban Director Alinestra Covelia reaffirmed her Chairman's stance on the matter.

"The Cyborg Factory will be put to full use as soon as scheduling allows. In the interests of avoiding repetition, I refer our reporter to the answers provided earlier concerning morality of the Human Genome Project."

More on the story as it breaks. Meanwhile, anybody actually able to remember the Chairman's official moral stance on the HGP is welcome to make it known to MorganSoft Networks.

And I may stop posting my game turns to this forum - am getting increasingly frustrated watching a blue progress bar make precious little progress scrolling along my screen - and that's with DSL. And how many times do you have to hit 'refresh' to load more than just the banner ads at the top.

Usually I have a lot of patience, but this is driving me crazy, compared to the instantaneous loads of both ACOL and CGN, 'Poly just plain sucks.

Yeah, I know what you mean ...

[RedFred]

Echo, echo. Poly has never been fast, but it has been particularly slow and unreliable in the last couple of weeks.

2194 to the new 'Borg faction. Resistance is futile.

MorganSoft News:

Hiverian workers, using templates and schematics provided by the University, have succeeded in constructing and maintaining the Cloudbase Academy. When questioned about the purpose of the Academy, Hiverian Housing Advisor Alinestra Covelia was reported to have muttered something about "the Hiverian air tourism trade or something". She then asserted that the Cloudbase Academy was nothing more than "a complex weather-monitoring establishment" and that additional tuition would be given to crop-dusters and deer-tick inspectors.

More on this as it becomes available.

And now for a word from our sponsors. Are you homeless? Are you hungry? Have you lost your job? For free food and lodging, why not come to prison? IT'S GREAT!

I love your advertisements Allie ...

2195 is back to RedFred.

2196 to Alinestra.

[Alinestra Covelia]

Turn sent to Googlie.

I am going to be out of town until Friday, so I will be unable to play my turns until then.

If this really holds up the game, then I understand if somebody else jumps in. But my turns are getting quite interesting now and I'd prefer to be able to play them personally.

Anyhow, I leave it with your vote and Tau Ceti's judgement!

And don't worry re: the absence, Allie - we can wait for your return

[Misotu]

No problem Allie, that's not a big delay. Humble apologies to all for the reload message. My usual menu problem - I spotted it at the beginning of the turn so no harm was done

2196 is off to RedFred.

2197 to Alinestra. Take your time, Allie. Heck. Take as long as you like.
