2127 update:

What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no
more than information before the senses, data fed to the
computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received
the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and
you shall become master of the output.

[Chaunk]

Elections called! Candidates are

Aki Zeta-5 - 23 (IIRC) for Aki
Kataphraktoi - 23 (again, IIRC)

Chaunk - 19 Aki.
Yang - 22 Abstains.

Aki will be elected unle$$ Kata can $omehow p£r$uade Yang to vote for him.

If we're talking about long term planning, I intend to get Centauri Empathy in 2 turns and build the Empath guild that turn or the one after.

[Kataphraktoi]

Unfortunatly Kata had that huge sum of money required invested elsewhere at the time.

I would have thought PTS would be a better investment for you. What with all bases size3, production etc should really jump. Didnt you infiltrate me?

Ahem, I intend to get both

I figure I've got a while on the PTS though, so I'll probably fling something together in 2135 or thereabouts.

Symbols are the key to telepathy. The mind wraps its
secrets in symbols; when we discover the symbols that shape
our enemy's thought, we can penetrate the vault of his mind.
