Googlie,

Thanks for setting this up! It's much appreciated!

**Googlie** · September 24, 2001, 17:05

No problem - I just wish we could get RP2 off the ground (that's the one I'm in)

Remember that I'll play Hydro's first few turns as Morgan until he returns from his 2 week trip

2100 to the Hive.
Ummm... I don't have time to write anything, sorry

I think I'll write a bit lagging the actual game, so in 2101 I'll handle this turn etc. unless there's something important game-wise.

MY 2100 to Smack
-----------------------

"Fools." This one thought echoes through General Deimos' mind as he stands upon the upraised tail of the wreckage of the survival pod, surveying the surrounding landscape.

As the second of this planet's suns begins to sink below the horizon, shadows creep up the far wall of the scar that the survival pod left upon the surface of the planet. Lights twinkle in the darkest sections of this trench: lights from the workers looking for any remaining survivors from the crash. Looking for salvageable material, too.

The rising wind snaps at the General's BDUs as he looks to the west, watching the dust plume raised by the Scout Rover company as it races the setting sun. The information they will provide before the sun rises again will help determine where the colony pods will be sent.

Initial reports from the scouts sent east indicate a dry, barren land surrounded by some sort of reddish-pink fungal barrier, that rises over 20 meters in height, in some places. Not a particularly hospitable place to set up a new base of operations.

Again the General's thoughts turn to the last few hours aboard the Unity. "If those fools would have been able put aside their bickering, and come together under a strong leader during that time of crisis, we may have been able to avoid this unmitigated disaster."

"Sir!"

Looking down the spine of the wrecked life-pod, General Deimos returns the salute from his XO, Colonel Santiago. "Yes, Colonel?"

"Report from the Rover commander. She reports that they have found the headwaters of a river, and that they can see a body of water off to the west-south-west. The land along the river appears to be quite hospitable."

"Excellent. Assemble your troops. They will accompany me as I inspect this river and assess its potential for settlement."

"Very good, sir. Captain, get the men on their feet. We're moving out."

Hopefully, this news is the vanguard of more good news. And with it, brings the hope that we may survive and prosper on this hard world.

Text for Scribe to enter into 'Letters from a Centauri Missionary'

Volume One: Strangers in a Strange Land

"It is with great tripidation that I embark upon this journey of letters, for though my faith be strong, my confidence in our document security has yet to be tested. Still, one can hardly guess at what threats exist in this unfamiliar garden. Are there sentient beings about? Are they God's creatures? Surely, for I know that at least some other 'Factions' escaped the bloodiness upon the Unity."

"I am eager to excercise the Faithful upon this dusty soil. I have every confidence that our disciplines will hold us together. Even my good Cardinal Samison appeared uneasy this morning, and who could hold him in less than the highest esteem? It appears that God's children are indeed multiple for we have already word that life-forms here on Chiron are unlike any imagined on Earth."

-Bishop (Smack-turn to Brendan)

**Kassiopeia** · September 27, 2001, 12:40

Brendan, some problems here? "Commissioner Brendan of the PK's, 2100" it says to me. Why do I have Brendan's turn in my mailbox?

**Googlie** · September 27, 2001, 15:33

Prolly he forgot to rename it on saving it. Have you tried opening it to see if it is indeed your turn?

Oh, and k:

re: You have my alias wrong! Hnnngh...

you can change anything in your faction - go to the in-game menu, select "network" and then "customize your faction" - it'll change for the next turn.

Yes. It asked me for Commissioner Brendan's password

Oh, done that already, thank you very much.
Just call me Kass...

Gaia's Landing

Lord Kassiopeia glared through the makeshift viewing windows of the new and fresh headquarters. North of the colony pod landing site there rose a ridge, identified a meteor crater. Green grassland stretched from beneath his feet towards the rocky heights, like eager for seeds of Earth plants. South of the base there was a river, supplying them with invaluable fresh water that was found strangely flavoured, yet non-toxic.
But what was of most interest to the Lord and his sister Deirdre, was the strange orange-pink mesh east of the headquarters. Deirdre, a keen xenobiologist, was on her way there for closer examination, with the Unity rover discovered in a Unity supply pod. Kassiopeia would of assigned her a larger escort, just in case there was some animal life on Chiron - as the planet was called. He was, however, forced to spread his resources thin as there were interesting sightings in the western direction, and another patrol was going down-river to locate the nearest sea.
Kassiopeia was concentrating his thoughts on the beautiful forests the landscape would be filled with, when the anxious sound of his scientific advisor, professor Aristophanes Ferdinandez echoed behind him.
"Yes, Ari?"
"Lord, we have the first results on the atmospheric tests." They had used tight full-body vacuum suits whenever they had left the Pod or the small buildings erected besides them, now a small town called Gaia's Landing - in honor of Mother Earth who was the greatest victim of human progress.
"And?" the Lord replied, not turning his eyes from the window.
"About 80 percent nitrogen, and 15 percent oxygen."
"So there is oxygen?" Kassiopeia said, half-asking.
He and Deirdre had had their arguments about this topic - Deirdre was sure there was oxygen, because green vegetation would not grow in an oxygen-free environment. Kassiopeia, being a well credited biochemist - as well as a physician - back on Earth, had believed on his theory of a thin hydrogen atmosphere.
"Yes. No hydrogen, no more then a fraction of a percent", Ferdinandez added.
So, Chiron could harbor them, and Earth plants. As a matter a fact, forests would grow at almost a normal rate here, and in time increase the oxygen in the air. Terraforming...
"Like on Mars", Kassiopeia muttered. But now there wouldn't be a friendly homeworld just by the corner to return to when things would get bad.
The Lord looked again at the pink barrier, and decided that he would go there also, as soon as Deirdre would return.

Turn happily received. Let's get this on the road, shall we? 2101 to Chairman Spasmotif.
