I had to 'doctor' He Walked on Water.

The Drydock missile foil (now repaired) destroyed the remaining Believer sea former.

The Athens based green missile needlejet patrols east of Fleet Anchorage and encounters a Hive sea colony pod. Engaged and destroyed. Achieved disciplined status.

End turn

War rages on between Morgan and Myriam.

2161 Operations
Spartan veteran transport foil sighted in (6,14), two clicks west by southwest of Hive base Fecundity Tower. The Drydock impact foil is ordered to engage and destroy the foe. Colonel Santiago asks a word. I put her through.

Spartans (seething) demand the return of Fleet Anchorage, and we do not comply. Santiago is very upset. Bye.

The transport foil is no more. Our impact foil remains unharmed.

The BRCM missile needlejet engaged a Believer veteran plasma sentinel 2-3-1 in Loaves and Fishes and destroyed it.
Believer defense remaining: a veteran impact artillery (4)-1-2, a laser infantry 2-2-1 and a plasma sentinel 2-3-1.

End Turn
The Morganites have seized (and destroyed) Judgment Seat.

Our well-funded labs have discovered Organic Superlubricant.

2162 Operations

A Spartan SAM missile foil has been sighted <(6)>-1-4. As its armor is only one, it is fair game for the damaged missile foil in Fleet Anchorage. Damaged 35%.

The Suez missile needlejet destroyed the Spartan former near Blast Rifle Crag.

The Xanadu missile needlejet destroyed the Believer plasma sentinel in Loaves and Fishes. The Xanadu missile foil destroyed the Believer impact artillery in Loaves and Fishes.

[Bodissey]

[Bodissey]

2163-2164

End Turn
IoD and 2 mind worms spotted near Drydock. We seem to have experienced our first fungal bloom.

Miriam (seething) asks us to renounce our pact with the Morganites. No way. She then demands Fusion Power to end the vendetta. We didn't start it, sister. She now has missile power, beware. She then offers blood truce without compensation. I decline.

A Believer impact foil tried to attack Krusty Krab but was destroyed by its missile foil defender, which is now hardened.

2164 Operations

I took care of the IoD and the two mind worms (capture attempts were unsuccessful "as if a superior mind was directing the aliens") using the Drydock plasma hoverboat (hardened), our brand new fusion interceptor (now hardened and damaged 60%) and the independent scout (now hardened - damaged 90%). We have now 107 credits.

Our Krusty Krab missile needlejet destroyed the last defender of Fisher of Men and got damaged to 75%. We seized Fisher of Men (3 credits bounty) and renamed it "Tu es Petrus". I had to doctor the drone.

As we had a native units attack to take care of, the air superiority campaign could not count on our new fusion interceptor. But the Athens missile needlejet did destroy a Spartan veteran falcon in Parade Ground and achieved commando status. It remains out of range of the remaining Spartan falcon in Training Camp. As a Spartan rover missile battery approaches Fleet Anchorage, I decided to take it out, with the Drydock missile needlejet. Still out of range of the remaining Spartan falcon. The remaining needlejets did take out the Unity supply droids near Sparta Command and are still out of range of the Spartan falcon.

[Bodissey]

Adjustments made.

End Turn
Forest expands near Strawberry Fields.

The pre-boil IoD encounters a Believer unit. Miriam (seething) contacts us and asks us to break the pact with Morgan. We decline. She then demands Fusion Power to end the vendetta. "Do your worst, Sister Miriam" is our reply. She then asks for blood truce. We decline.

When I establish Midway (two tiles to the NW of University base Marine Biology Lab), Zakharov becomes sundenly in vendetta against us, without warning.

Bay Area missile foil destroys the Believer plasma sentinel in Port Grace. BRCM missile needlejet destroys the last defenders of Port Grace. Kragen's Maw plasma hoverboat occupies Port Grace (2 credits bounty). Renamed Port Grace "Big Easy". Doctored the drone and change production to transe scout.

The Morganites have seized New Jerusalem from the Spartans.

We seize Water to Wine (no bounty). Renamed "Cana".

We might want to renew our pact with Morgan.

[Bodissey]

2167-2168

Contacted Morgan (ambivalent). He boasts about his chaos battery prototype (8)-12*2. He demands Advanced Subatomic Theory, to which we reply no. After his traditional lecture on green economics, I offer a pact with my goodwill as sole incentive. The nice CEO agrees and uploads his latest map. I ask him to coordinate battle plans. He intends to move against The Lord Truth. He suggests we attack Belly of the Whale. I concur. I try to incite him to go to war against Zak, but he doesn't wish to comply for my sole goodwill. 1400 credits would scarcely begin to compensate. I guess I'll have to take a loan. I then end the conversation.

End Turn
The Morganites seize The Lord's Truth (at last).

2168 Operations

X fusion penetrator at Boiled Egghead attacks Marine Biology Lab, destroys a hardened University ECM plasma garrison and achieves disciplined status.

When we establish Constantinople, we get an efficiency warning.

Our commando Athens missile needlejet destroys the Spartan SAM rover on the first strike. Our Suez disciplined missile needlejet destroys another Spartan SAM rover in Bunker 118. He spots a probe cruiser in the process. East missile needlejet is ordered to attack the probe cruiser. It is within range of the SAM rover in Ironholm (there is another one 1 sq. to the NW of Ironholm on a jungle square without a road) but I hope Santiago will use it against Morgan.
I made Drydock fusion interceptor rest to maintain some firepower next turn.

Boiled Egghead missile needlejet spots the University probe cruiser and destroys it.

Krusty Krab missile needlejet attacks the University clean fusion copter 2 sq. S by SW of Belly of the Whale and destroys the foe.

2169-2170

End Turn

Forest expands near Drydock.

Colonel Santiago convenes the Planetary Council. Agenda: Salvage Unity Fusion Core.

As we do not want our enemies to get a break (Miriam, Yang and Santiago vote "yea"). I suggest we vote "nay".
As our position as Planetary Governor allows us to break the tie, we can decide the outcome of this item.

[Bodissey]

2170

We veto the salvage, measure fails.

HQ builds the Cyborg Factory. The University redirects its efforts toward the Pholus Mutagen.

Fungus grows near Drydock. Our first fungal bloom.

University (obstinate) contacts us as the boil IoD approaches Oceanographic Lab. He demands we renounce our pact with the Gaians. No. He then offers peace for Doctrine: Air Power. No. They now have Fusion Shock Troops (10^e-6-1*2). He then offers blood truce. Never. Then vendetta it is.

The boil IoD destroys a armored cruiser transport. The Drydock X fusion penetrator used nerve gas against University base of Oceanographic Lab and destroyed a probability sentinel. Oceanographic Lab is now ours (16 credits bounty) and renamed Test Tube Tango.

Slight glitch: I rebased Krusty Krab missile needlejet in Cana instead of Krusty Krab.

SW of Hero's Waypoint. Suez missile needlejet tries a raid to Redemption Base to get the chaos needlejet stationed there but ends up destroying a plasma garrison.

Screenshot pending.

[Bodissey]

End Turn
A mind worm attacks HQ from the north. Scout patrol achieves hardened status but is destroyed by another native unit attack.

We discover Orbital Spaceflight, thanks to the Datalinks.

CEO Morgan convenes the Planetary Council to reinstate the UN Charter. The vote seems overwhelmingly in favor of the agenda. Only colonel Santiago votes "nay". We follow the trend. Measure passes.

Drone riots in HQ (thanks to the mind worm attacks).

We discover Applied Relativity. As we do have Orbital Spaceflight, we choose Silksteel Alloy.

2172 Operations

Drydock X fusion penetrator attacks University colony pod but using conventional weapons only, as the UN Charter is reinstated.

Boiled Egghead missile needlejet at GJgG attacks a University transport revealed by our missile foil near Consecrated Waters (40,18).

A native unit problem remains to the north of HQ. I suggest we move the East disciplined trance scout in HQ to prevent a mind worm assault in HQ.

Diplomacy
Deirdre (magnanimous) compliments us on our society choices, and asks for assistance against Miriam. She plans to move against The Hive, she suggests we assault The Marine Institute (University). The usual answer to tech exchange is given (Citizen's Defense Force).

Morgan (ambivalent) lectures us on our green society choice and asks assistance against the Spartans. We agree to both assault Consecrated Waters. The usual answer to tech exchange is given (Citizen's Defense Force).
