Scared fishes?
Perhaps we misread the breed...you hover like a Fungal Darter, yet carry a bite like Chiromundi...
You seem timid, thats to be expected,
and we apologise for our ambiguity
We offer a refuge here, for those who are lost
if its a formal invitation you need
then come...
We have much we can show you.
Couple of days ago the research department announced,that they´ve finished designing the needed tools and machines for the terraforming project.
Production lines are cleared for constructing these tools and machines, and people are being gathered and educated for the new ”terraforming units”.The land around our cities is now more valuable than the same amount in gold, as scientists promise the land will be terraformed into a earthlike paradise in the next few decades.Already citizens have been acquiring as much as land they can, with any means possible.Reported casualties of these means are until now ten and rising, turning the department of economy into a warfield.
To control the crazy byuers and to ensure the flow of food, minerals and energy, the Junta has decided that most of the to-be-terraformed lands will not be sold,but instead used for farming and mining, or for some other industrial purpose.

Commander, your new are orders are as follows: you are to head as fast as you can southward.Take the both units and don´t bother waiting for the laser rover unit.You will Investigate everything, and report if anything peculiar happens.
You should watch for mindworms and also for human activity.Yes, there are also other survivors from the crash.A day ago a small listening post on the southern border picked up a very faint and messy signal.Our techs managed to clear it a little bit, enough to recognise a human voice.We are positive it was a human voice and that it came from south.
If you meet other humans, do not engage in any hostile activity first.Report back to HQ and wait for instructions.

Who to trust?[/b]
Having just received files from the Data Angels which were claimed to have been stolen files that belonged to the Morganites, we must really wonder who we must trust.
Should we trust CEO Morgan, our longtime friend, but now a semi-enemy. Should we trust Head Datajack Roze with all her intrigue and our recent war with her. Or should we trust neither and declare war on both?
Please write your opinions to the address of this paper and 'hopefully' we can convince Academian Prokhor Zakharov to do the 'popular' and thus correct thing.

Dear USG,
I am a normal, productive University citizen and I must voice my opinions.
What I have to say is we should support our longtime friends the Morganites, but also our 'new' friends the Data Angels. They both seem to want peace and are likely making these 'stolen data' stories up.
They both want to be good friends of the University and are competing to do it. We should respect that and admit both to our 'alliance.'
-Enos Illych-Krabovskich ----
Dear Sirs,
I see that you will not listen to reason and so I will say this. The Data Angels mean no harm. They are the ones who caught Morgan spying on our computer systems.
Attack Morgan the evil. Not Roze the friendly.
-Alanis Ma-Stevens ----
Dear Readers,
Do not listen to Roze's fabricated lies and fabricated evidence. The Morganites are our friends. The Data Angels are nothing more than bandits determined to undermine and destroy our society.

Roze announced today that CEO Morgan has agreed to her offer, and that the two have ratified a Treaty of Friendship between the Morganite and Data Angel factions. This will hopefully herald in a new era of peace in the region, which has been embroiled in a civil war since the Data Angels first announced their desire to suceed.
Already, Roze has sat down with Morgan to discuss new economic plans and trade bargains, which will no doubt be profitable for both factions.
As for the incident with the captured Morganite Probe operative, Roze had only this to say:
"I can hardly hold the Morganites accountable for actions taken under the threat of war. The Data Angels believe in free flow of information, and it would be hypocritical of me to denounce Morgan for actions I myself have initiated myself. I only hope that our new friendship will allow for further such queries for information to be made through diplomatic channels, and on amicable conditions for both sides."
The probe operative was released to Morganite custody today, so that the proper authorities may decide if any punishment is necessary.
No word yet as to whether Provost Zakharov will ratify the treaty, but it is hoped that the three factions will be able to coexist in peace.
For all those who are currently seeking information on the mysterious Cybernetic faction, it is requested that you put a temporary halt on such activities. We have established a tentative peace and we hope it can remain that way. We don't want to upset the balance by irritating Zakharov, or introducing a fourth faction into the fold. However, we will hang on to any files regarding their existance, in case they are needed in the future.

You are, of course, right Good Academician. Searching through our files I could find nothing about a 'Cybernetic Consciousness'. They certainly do not exist.
I will do what we can regarding the internal matters, I need to inform you though that our resources are already streched to their limit...We need more funding and agents if we are to be able to ensure the integrity of our knowledge database.
Dammit babe, we are so close...gimme some people for protection and I'll go through the fungal fields and get the cyborgs myself...
alright, I'm cool...its just hard to invest so much energy into something and not see it through. Promise me I'll be in on it when you give the OK, and I'll wait.
Well, theres one good thing...gonna be home early for that date, better start chilling the champagne now (you did get that case I *cough* stole from M's Alcohol research centre yeah?)

We have monitored more radio messages from the unexplored region to the west. As there can be no-one living there, we suspect some sort of new anomoly in the terrain. For everyones safety, we have continued the exploration ban.
Though the generalities of peace where established some time ago, and healthy trading has been established since, some minor details still cause debate among those in our diplomatic channels.
The formal ratification of permanant borders has still not been achieved. In a press statement, our benevolent CEO Morgan stated
'It would be premature at this time to ratify permanent borders when we are each working from different maps. We need to coordinate our cartography programs, and establish a uniform and thorough standard map of this whole continent for us to work with. We do have informal agreements as to territory boundries...and these will be respected'
Accusations continue to fly about covert operations. Again, this seems to be a minor issue though, with events having cooled somewhat from a month ago.
Official statements give the impression that the disagreements are nothng that cannot be worked out through diplomatic action, and there is no threat of any more hostilities. It is a great time for people to make a stable life for themselves, and make some good money

NAUTILUS SAILOR'S NEWS
1-30-2119
Transport Foil Hauler finally left Port Svensgaard carrying the Scouting Party to the continent. The delay was caused by the recent discovery of Applied Physics, which allows us to use the Laser Technology for mining and industrial purposes, aswell as the military. When the Scout Rovers was nearing completion, Laser weaponry was added to the Rovers. This postponed the launch of the expedition, but was worth it.
The 1st and 2nd Recon Rovers will be sent to shore so they can start their exploration of the continent.
