though we will be aquiering the technology Requirements for this technology from a sepreat source this turn, we will partake of the Emergents offer.
 
Advert:
You are around 20 to 28 years old. You missed instant messaging, and you were happy when it returned, because you like talking to your friends without having to go and meet them. Maybe you even built your own little network at some point. You're perhaps a little anti-social, but it doesn't matter. You're smarter than most, full of ideas, and optimistic. Please visit number 023754523. I'm sure we can be happy together.

"You want to put this in the Personals section to attract researchers?"
"Yes, sir."
"Were you drunk when you had this idea?"
"Yes, sir."
"Great." Erwin Macheas leaned back in his chair and sighed. After a good finish in the presidential election, Bellmere had promoted him right out of politics. Now he was 'advisory', aka had near veto power, on most branches of research, and the funding for the governmental research laboratories was on the order of magnitude of the combined output of Alpha Centauri and Chara, with another small system's worth in grants to private researchers and independent programmes in those systems. "Here, use my holographer and show me what it would look like. I favor the idea, but I'm inherently distrustful of anything thought of while drunk."
"I understand, sir. But we liked it even when we woke up with hangovers, and we distinctly need new researchers, sir. The budget's growing-"
"Don't remind me about the budget. It's obscenely large. I know. And that man demands results within a year."
Perhaps the best word to describe the personal advert that would be placed in several locations in the Cyberlands was tasteful. It was large enough to be eye-catching and small enough to be cheap.
"Approved for my sake. Run it by Marketing."
"I already did."
"Then run it by the Props department. It doesn't look quite finished. Or run it by a few tweenagers."
"Okay. But remember that the target audience will have been teenagers when the Scourge struck. They will have had strong emotions about losing their network of peers at that time, meaning this should be a personal matter for them."
Erwin's computer chimed. "Good point. Now, if you'll excuse me, there's a device report I have to read. One of my new subordinates suggests we abandon the public terminals in favor of private comm devices. Seems like pointless hassle given the coverage we have, and it would require a lot of signal space, but he's got more experience in the field than I have. Dismissed."

System Profile:
Sirius A, Core Worlds.
Also Know as the Dog Star

Planets:

Sirius I: Cinder. Closest world to Sirius A, and as such, it's surface is completely molten. it's orbit is slowly decaying, and it will be completely incinerated in less then 10,000 years.

Sirus II: Triol, Duriol, and Sriol. the triple worlds. Triol and Duriol approximately the size of Mars each. together, they orbit each other, with Sriol , approximately the size of Earths moon Luna, Orbiting them.

Sirius III: Zuse. Gas Giant, Currently three times more massive then Jupiter. this is considerably smaller then when Humans first Settled the Sirius System, when it was approximately five times the size of Jupiter. due to this fact, and the fact that it's orbital path is at a 40* angle to the system plane, it is highly likely that It is a recent capture by Sirius, probably less then 2000 years before the settling of the Sirius System.

Sirius IV: Hathor. Gas Giant with One moon, Croc. small Gas Giant with a single Rocky moon approximately three times the size of Earth. Croc is vocanicly active, and appears to be composed of approximately 99.5% silicon.

Sirius V: Anubis. Gas Giant with Three Moons. Taro, Tori, Neko. Anubis is not anything to write home itself. Only the the size of Uranus, It's only particularly unusual fact is it's weak magnetic field, and the fact the 2 of it's moons magnetic fields is stronger then it's own.
Now It's moons are a different matter.
Taro, the closest of the moons to Anubis. A world of Green-blue flora, and of toxic plant life. a LOT of Toxic plant life. Evey bit of soil upon this earth sized moon is laced with toxic compounds, radioactive materials, and unusual large concentrations of heavier minerals. It's very Air is toxic to humans to breather. and yet, it's own blend of life thrives here, and while the planet is not hospitable to a permanent human habitation, several Harvesting outposts have been established to collect and process the plant life. It's magnetic Field is the strongest of the three moons, approximately 1.6 times stronger then Anubis's.
Tori, the second moon of Anubis. While no longer a living world, the Large amount of fossils found upon the world make it self evident that at one time it was a water world with almost 90% of it's surface covered with water, and flourishing with life. now, it is a dry, cold world, lacking any atmosphere. Most of the water and remains of the atmosphere lay frozen in a great ring abound the planet. several projects were underway at the time of the scourge to send this great ring spiraling back onto the planet. once that was done, it was scheduled for teraformation some 25 years down the line, when the surface of the planet had calmed down enough to allow it. Magnetic Field is approximately .96 the strength of Anubis
Neko, the third moon. Heart of the Sirius Systems. slightly larger then Earth with a gravity of 1.2. It is a relatively dry planet, with only a single ocean covering only 1/3 of the planets surface, and several dozen large Freshwaters seas covering about an additional 1/5 of the planets surface combined. this head lead to the vast majority of the interior of the Pangea-type continent to be a vast, flat wasteland broken up with the occasional pockets of water, small mountain ranges, and volcanic rifts. It's skies Regualy fill with Thunder and lightning, as the high dust content of the atmosphere combines with the interactions between neko's and Anubis's magnetic fields. all in all, a some what hostile planet. but of the three habitual planets in the Sirius A and Sirius B systems, it was the least hostile of the planets, and therefor, the best choice for teraformation and colonization of the system. Magnetic Field is approximately 1.1 times stronger then Anubis's.

Human Warp gate Node. Located forward along Anubis's orbital path, it is in fact, The First warp gate created by human hands. It Destination point was the Alpha Centuri system, and withing 5 years of its' creation, there were over 40 warp gates connected to this node. currently, there are only 4 warp gates connected to this node: Sol, Procyon, Regulus, and Rana.
--------
System Profile:
Sirius B, Core Worlds.

Planets:

Sirius VI: metallica. a rocky, earth sized planet approximately 2.5 times more massive then earth. Other then it's unusual density, ther is not much to note about it.

Sirius VII: Raiden. a hostile, violent world. nearly permanently covered in thunderstorms and with a substantially higher percentage of free Oxygen in it's atmosphere, the planet has numerous fires ripple across the surface daily. It has a plenitude of fast growing flora dose keep a large portion of the planets surface covered in green, though the overall varitiy of it is quite low.

Experimental Warp gate Node. As it always has been, Sirius has been the center of warp gate research. the Experimental Warp gate node was designed approximately 20 years before the Scourge, to test a new remote warp gate generator. at minimal power, they activated it, and it worked. in a way. It bypassed the target system, and established a connection to a small chunk of rock approximately 150,000 light years above the galactic plane, well into the galactic void. even worse, the gravitational sheer of the gate was more extreme then any other gate ever created, an only the most sturdy of objects could pass through it. not very useful.
On the upside, they did manage to get a simple telescope through, and we now have some wonderful pictures of the entire galaxy.


OOC: orders in shortly. and probably rana's map a bit later.

To Nekomi
From Ascendancy

No, there is no way to negotiate passage through Ascendancy Space. Do not proceed into the space of the Ascendancy after Castor. All systems are claimed by the Ascendancy. If you enter, we will defend ourselves with military force to defend our people from you.

OOC: We're insular, so don't bother us ;)

From: The Confederatoin of Kalia
To: Wideband


The confederation of Kalia hereby offers a formal peace agreement with all neighboring nations, and all other factions that may be interested in such an agreement. It has no fine print, it is not a term related binding contract, as others have been. However, it would make peace official, making a declaration of war a "necessary" part of invasion, rather than the other, less customary but apparently common sneak attack initiation of hostilities. It is only civil, it is only fair. It can only be reassuring to the people of all nations involved that currently there is no need to fear.

Again, it is merely a formality, but what would a faction have against said agreement?

We leave you to dwell upon this

“Welcome back to KCRS radio, your source for the best modern rock. No frills, no rap crap, no electronic whatchamacallitthingumabobs, and no Capellan, scantily clad pop divas. Just pure, unadulterated rawk.

In today’s news, Aaron Mica has announced a plan to expand the Confederation, to take full advantage of the systems over which Kalia is sovereign. Colonies have been planned, and territorial claims have been marked out, detailing the next few years as being critical to the growth of our young nation. Will it work? Who knows? Mica hasn’t let us down before, and I don’t expect he will again.

Speaking of the Consul, Grigor Edinburgh, Kalianna City Chief of Police was shot dead this past morning, apparently as a result of a duel with Consul Aaron Mica. We don’t know the full details as to why the duel took place, but we do know that he has a record of embezzling government funds, and it is rumored he has a serious gambling problem. Whether keeping his government clean was the motive, or whether there is more to Aaron’s challenge, we may never know. However, it is safe to say that yet again, the Consul has ‘taken care of business’.

…but enough chitchat. Back to the rawk! Coming up next is Lightspeed Adrenaline and their latest hit: ‘Silver Lining’”


It was a dark that terrible night
When we, God’s people, fell from the light

Lost our divine direction
Gave up holy protection

It took away the family car
It murdered millions, near and far

Destroyed man’s creation
Wiped out near every nation

Something, somewhere, has to give
In this dark world how can I live?

Because I’m running and screaming
I fear for my life
Can’t find a way to placate the death inside
I want to go home but there’s no home left
This galaxy’s imploded within itself

I’m running and screaming
I look to the sky
Someone please tell me how I’m ‘sposed to stay alive
I’m lost and I’m alone in a world black and cold
I’m panicking now I don’t know where to go

Maybe this was meant to happen
Maybe this was meant to be
Maybe there is a purpose
In all the torture the world’s given me

I need somewhere to go
A special place to call my own
All the corruption, destruction, and waste
My brother is gone, I’ll never see his face

Because I’m running and screaming
I fear for my life
Can’t find a way to placate the death inside
I want to go home but there’s no home left
This galaxy’s imploded within itself

I’m running and screaming
I look to the sky
Someone please tell me how I’m ‘sposed to stay alive
I’m lost and I’m alone in a world black and cold
I’m panicking now I don’t know where to go

But somewhere out there, my search will end
I’ll find my life’s purpose, upon which I’ll depend
To sleep at night, to calm me down
But I’ll get through
Yes I’ll get through

I’m running and cheering
Celebrating life
I’ve found my way to placate the death inside
I need no real home, I’ve got my home right here
As long as you are with me, as long as you’re near

I’m living and loving
I look to the sky
Now I know just how it is to be alive
I’m loved and I’m known in a world full of hope
I no longer have the problems the world does with cope

As long as we’re united
As long as we fight it
God, you, and I will stop the world
 
The Emergents of Providence sign the treaty of formality proposed by the Confederacy of Kalia.

(TEoP also wonder why more factions aren't buying cheap technology.)
 
To All Factions:
after much consideration, the Star nation of Nekomi has Decided to distribute all it's obsolete Tier one Technologies, with the Exclusion of the Defense and Weaponry branches, free of charge to all factions that do not already posses such technology.
 
The Emergents of Providence sign the treaty of formality proposed by the Confederacy of Kalia.

(TEoP also wonder why more factions aren't buying cheap technology.)

Cybrans will buy HS for 8PP as offered.

The Furians will abstain from this for the time being. Perhaps after a few more years we will change our minds. We have our reasons for doing this.
 
To: The Emergents
From: NAM


We will purchase [Hologrpahic Simulation] for 9 or 10 EP, depending if you round up or down. ;)
I think that one-half normally rounds off to up. ;)
