Blind Leaders - Turn Thread

[Erik at Home]

The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. Oh no, not that we have suffered losses, but I fear it will come soon. Our landing site was a land of plenty, but beyond that site is a very hostile world, and those demonic "boils" roaming the countryside seem bent on our destruction -- with the exception of one that some witchcraft-using heretics in our ranks have tamed. Sigh...it IS a hostile world here, and the Lord works in mysterious ways. I pray for us every night.

Turn to FonnParr.

"Colonel, we MUST train our troops against these 'Mind Worms'." argued the defense secretary, "The Command Centre should be our top priority, give me the resources and I can build one for you in 5 years!".

"5 years?" retorted the health adviser. "In 5 years we will not even have a base if you control the resources. We need to grow, If you can wait 8 years you can have your precious resources AND the base will have enough workers for the future of our society."

"What you propose will make us vulnerable to atack for too long."

"Decisions, decisions. What should I do?" Thought FonnParr. "That borehole looks very tempting to get the command centre up and running , but with more workers we can have both growth and minerals"

Sorry it's been a bit since I've had time to look at the turn. I'll be able to take my turn tonight. I apologize profusely for the delay. I want this game to get rolling as much as anyone else!

Sargent, WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE CAN'T TERRAFORM PLANET?!?!?!

Sorry Sir,. it seems the...plans to make formers were left back on earth...and we have no way to research them either.

WHAT!?!?!?

Well Sir, if any consolation, I doubt anyone else can either.

I HOPE SO, FOR YOUR SAKE, Sargent.

"We must find a way to remove the fungus so that we can plant crops, our food supply is dwindling..."

"How about we take the fungus and fry it up in a little butter, or perhaps add it to an omlette?"

"Autochef, online. How many recipies do we have for cooking mushrooms?"

Turn sent to usc, I mean usp...

Ooops, yes it occurred to me after I posted that that FP is in England, not the US (thanks to our fine CMN for arranging that!)

Crusader Unity "Miriam" Snoutpopper paced the halls of the provisory "command center" (not yet worthy of the name, but serving at least a shadow of the function) in Brno, the proud capitol of God's arm on Planet. Ahh... the General was back from his meeting.

"Well? The attack pl --"

"Badly, I fear."

I sighed, more disappointed than angry. "Are you to blame, or --"

"That band of heretics again... not as proud a troupe this time. Perhaps we should have punished them. For free thinkers, they were quite... unthinking. Almost automated in their actions."

"Be brief and to the point. Chapel begins at six."

"They ignored our orders to temporarily bypass that strange alien structure... the one that oddly healed and transformed our division last year while transfixing it until December 31st. They remain there still, vulnerable."

"And the mindworms?"

"...will attack on January 1st. I ordered those heretics' beloved Spore Launcher unit to join them... will your beloved Bible tell me if it can help to hide them from these atrocities?"

"I do not know, general. You speak as if this were a game. Well, the Bible is not a rulebook. And if it were, many rules would be missing... and if they weren't no-one could keep them all in their head. General, it is not your fault. Get some sleep, you will need all your wits and strength of will to avoid such problems in the future. Dismissed."

Turn passed to FonnParr. "Always Investigate Monoliths" de-checked (GRRRRR).

"How about here?"
"No, too rocky."
"Here?"
"Too close to the fungus."
"Here then?"
"Not enough space."
"Well, where do YOU think we should put the...WHOA WHAT IS THAT?"
"M'aidé, M'aidé - Scout 3 to Central Control - come in, we are under attack by a towering mass of fungus... ... No this is NOT a joke!"

[FonnParr]

I don't have it

[UnityScoutChopper]
