ESC's colony intended for Mars is diverted and established on Europa. Development strategy will be the same as on Luna, which now has 3 full bases and 3 either in development or being constructed. Ocean colonies are still expanding, with an estimated current population of 25 million+. For the time being the Europa colony has been redirected to scientific research, specifically in space worthiness and environmental adaptability and materials contruction.

AI0 - So, we have to change our destination?

AI1 - Yup, they are here, so better start now the Phaze II. The Solar Collectors are stored and we can launch to our new destination.

AI0 - Um, in outer space we don't we'll have energy problems?

AI1 - No, remember the new energy system.

AI0 - Is quite congectural for me.

AI1 - For me not, 10 tries, 10 successful is not "congectural"

AI0 - Ummm... Ok. Let's go so...

Two huge mirror spheres appear from unde the venus surface, lava rivers cover the crates.

AI0 - So, here we are, now?

AI1 - Now that we are here and nobody saw us, let's to start our definitive home

AI0 - Ok

The Venus Exploration Services discover a starge mechanical device. The colonists are attempting peacefully in the spirit of Islam to makle contact with this new race

I will be gone for a few days, will return late monday/early tuesday (GMT). this is my last post until then



ESC cargo spaceships, escorted by military vessels, sighted embarking for Europa base. the contents are unknown and ESC has declined to issue a statement

[XarXo]

OCC: Sheep, they discovered nothing , I'm OUT of the game, I just made this interlude coz I moved AS survivors to Venus, now that you started the space expansionism I had to move out definitively.

Now AS Survivors started an Outer Space mission, which one is? Ah ah ah! Just is a secret

[foolish_icarus]

is anyone else still playing this?

[Easthaven I]

sure, but i go into hiding when you guys get into the space stuff.

[foolish_icarus]

then you should take part in the space stuff

Alright, well, if other people are still doing this then i'll continue, i certainly think its worthwile.

The ESC OmniFusion project is complete. Fusion fuels mining stations are set up in close orbit of Jupiter and begin harvesting. Processing stations are set up near the Europa colony and an additional one is established on Ganymede, where colonists are also starting to arrive. An entire new industry is springing up using the Fusion engines. It is comparitively cheap and safe compared to current anti-matter technology, so private vessels are beginning to use the technology and freighters are starting to ply back and forth between the space colonies and newly established bases in the asteroid belt where colonists are setting up as a result of the opportunities offered by the trade. ESC is constructing a triplet of arrays in the Halo, the main asteroid settlement, and Jupiter orbit in order to extend the limited range of the instantaneous communication and join the communes. The Halo commune is also planning for an asteroid capture mission, which will provide materials and room for further expansion.

new ESC shipyards established in asteroid belt to upgrade and expand space navy, and military bases established on Phobos and Deimos (mars satellites)

Allright, if no one responds to this I will assume this is dead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A group of radical Deependers (those who immerse themselves in the alterverse to the exclusion of all else) have, as a sort of demented game, seized control of the AI Supernet personality and commandeered a large number of systems across ESC territroy. Before their expansion could be contained, they gained control of Honshu (Japanese main Island), parts of the Phillipines and a large portion of the fleet in the eastern Pacific. They then proceeded to launch attacks on the American West Coast, where they have established an additional small amount of territory. ESC's reponse abilities have been momentarily crippled, but are reorganizing quickly and preparing to launch counterattacks. They are conscripting via mind control agents and synthetic brain implants any people they come in contact with that are suitable. Any people they don't have an immediate need for they are killing. Agressive superviruses have been released in ESC China, Northern Australia, and Mexico and are rapidly spreading and mutating randomly. Some strains have only mild symptoms, others a 90% fatality rate. Means of contagion are diverse. The Sea colonies have blockaded the effected areas to provent spread and the Halo and lunar Colonies have temporarily stopped all space traffic to and from earth.

What in the world?.....

Russia miraculously develops a cure to these superviruses and ways to kill them. They block off their borders, creating massive huge walls. They're staying out of the world's business. THe virus must stay away...

[foolish_icarus]

*shrug*

this isn't some evil plan of mine to take over and control the world, its just my meager attempt to keep this rolling. So for the sake of the game its probably better if you don't immediatly develop a miraculous cure. Nichevo. Your choice.

The Holy Empire of Islam, the Islamic Empire of Faith has taken all its citizens and an other muslimn people to the colonies on Venus and Mars. The Operation Heat Up has begun again, and Islamic sources, say that they are tired of this world and are going to purge it of th unclean.

The continent of Antatica melted, flooding Japan and reforming coastlines around the world. In a last effort of destruction every powerpland in the IEF, were made to meltdown simultaneously. With over 1500 Nuclear power plants in Africa and 2000 in Asia this has serverly contaminated the planet.

[Sheep]

The IEF claims ownership of the Moon and Jupiter, starting clonies there.

[foolish_icarus]

When I said I wanted this game to continue, I assumed you would understand that I still wished it to be REALISTIC.

It's a stretch to say that you detonated every single one of your power plants (which was an absurdly high number anyway) without being at least partially stopped, but it's perfectly acceptable to make an unlikely claim once in a while, so I'll let that one by. If you want to **** yourself over by doing this, that's your choice. With the nuclear meltdowns, I can even accept that there will be climate and coastline changes, even though it won'y be immediate. But the stuff about evacuating your population is complete nonsense. You haven't posted any effort to strengthen your space fleet, whereas Japan/ESC and Free World have spent considerable efforts to improve theirs. Even if it we didn't have space superiority and weren't enforcing a blockade, the logistics of getting off a planet that is being devastated with a tiny space fleet means that at most you could move 20 or 30 thousans people amidst the chaos. Claiming to move all your citizens and all Muslims (1 billion + people) is absurd.

So being realistic, your actions and their responses would go something like this:

IEF detonates reactors. IEF lauches transports and their small space fleet. Some don't make it off the planet as people clamber to be the ones on the transports. After they get into orbit, all but a few thousand people on a couple transports are intercepted by ESC Halo and Lunar Fleet Forces. These escape to Venus or Mars. The captured colonists are transported to the Muslim Mars Colonies and then all space transport equipment is confiscated and the colonies are isolated and blockaded to prevent further expansion while a perimeter is set up and locations are set up to prepare for future colonists from other nations. The colonists that attempt to go to Luna or Jupiter are also intercepted after a while and transported to Mars. The only ones that escape are the ones that go to Venus, and after a blockade is enforced there, The Venus colonies wither and the colonists that decide not to accept the ESC's offer of transport to Mars dwindle and can barely scratch out their existance because the entirety of Venus is an inhospitable barren oppressive wasteland, and they no longer receive shipments from Earth so their existence there is for the most part reduced to hostile bickering starving factions of a few dozen people a piece wandering the mostly deserted corridors of the colonies.


ESC meanwhile is attempting to reverse the devastations caused by IEF while still fighting the Deependers. The fight is stalled in both respects. ESC asks the other nations of the world to help. The offworld ESC colonies, faring largely on their own for the time being, have temporarily halted in progress, but are surviving and preparing for the time when relations can be resumed with earth. Similarly, the ESC sea colonies are less effected, and are helping the land nations in the upcoming daunting task of restoring the earth.
