The cannons of the fighters had dug into the sandy beach and soft soil, the heat of the beams fusing the sand to smooth glass all along the bottom of the wide but fairly shallow basin. When at last they focused all the curved overhead spike cannons at once on the last bit of shore, the ocean rushed in filling the little bay with sea water. When the steam settled at last where once there had been a barren stretch of shore line there was now a beautiful pool.
The waves lapped at the sides of the shallow pool and onto the feet of the commanding officer, a pilot whose Nalese name would have been utterly unpronounceable by human vocal cords, and who now went by his new adopted name, Mr. Tibbs. He activated his earpiece radio, “Well done Fighters, return to base.”
There was a sonic boom high above him as the fighters rocketed back towards the encampment. With the touch of a claw he tapped the diode on his ear piece and again spoke through the com channel.
“This is Mr. Tibbs calling Colonel Simfasa; the pool is ready for the negotiations at the Port of Fish and Play. Over”
“Colonel Simfasa here, excellent work Mr. Tibbs the conference will begin immediately. Over”
Mr. Tibbs waved hello, a mannerism learned from their human friends, to the dolphins who had already began to swim into the pool and who were inspecting every inch. The dolphin leader a female called Flipper stuck her smooth gray head above the waves and chirped to Mr. Tibbs on the shore praising the pool on its many qualities, namely, it was a Fine place to play!

Ahhhh, so the long awaited freeman "Hail Mary" is here where he tries to totally change the South Pacific situation. But why, pray tell, split it into two stories when you know I have all the orders now?

Hey,
You have all the orders now? Guess I'll post my story after the update.

OOC: Sorry my mom drug me to belks and I wanted to get the first part up.
(A portion of the Rafiki database file on the Nalese)
NALESE: The Nalese are a Bipedal feline species that originated on the planet Nala in the Leo solar system (galactic desigination 8345224♦
… While the Nalese strongly resemble the feline species that have arisen on other planets throughout the galaxy they differ in many ways … in addition, they do not fear water, they are as adept and agile in the oceans of their planet as any land based bipedal species can be…

With swift, sure strokes of his heavily muscled arms Colonel Simfasa propelled his large body through the shimmering “Pool of Play” several of the Nalese leaders swam with him. He approached the school of Dolphins who were holding position in the pool, for a moment not jumping and playing in the warm water. When he reached them the Dolphin leader, Flipper, chirped a hello and he began the ancient and holy greeting that members of the circle used to identify each other.
“It has no beginning” Simfasa said with his head bobbing above the small waves
“And it has no ending” Flipper responded
“The Circle is Unbroken” all the Dolphins and Nalese said as one.
Greetings were exchanged between those who were already acquainted, before Flipper gave a chirp which silenced the excited Dolphins and Colonel Simfasa raised a paw and the Nalese fell silent as well.
Colonel Simfasa began, in his most official businesslike manner, to set terms and make pledges to the new Dolphin allies of the Nalese presence on Earth.
Colonel Simfasa, treading water, continued to speak promising protection for the Dolphin base of Easter Island and any other installation that may need protection. He went on in his official tone, telling the Dolphin leader that the fighters of the Nalese are formidable weapons and the Nalese themselves are fiercely loyal friends and Terrible enemies. He then went on to thank the Dolphins more than once for their lavish gift of the antique fighters, which with a coat of polish and a few hours of studying the controls had more than doubled then Nalese fighting force.
At long last and not before the Dolphins had become a tad restless, wishing to play in this fine pool with their new friends, Colonel Simfasa finished his longwinded speech and once again thanked the Dolphins for welcoming them with open fins to this planet.
Consul Flipper, who had listened far more intently than many of her Dolphin kin to the Nalese commander’s speech, shook her head up and down in a gesture of approval many times during his talk. Yet she too was rather relieved when he finished his speech, before she began her own she swam to the bottom and hopped out of the water exalting in the fun of the water. In her chirping voice she pledged the eternal friendship and loyalty of her people to their new allies, may the circle shine upon them, and promised to protect their interests in the wide oceans.
Her speech was far shorter than Simfasa’s as the Dolphin people do not have the patience for long speeches. Then she called out for Fish and Play and the whole group began swimming. Flipper herself swam to the far edge of the pool and came back at an incredible speed and did what humans would call a ‘surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault whilst whistling the Star Spangled Banner’

Update 4: November 2013 48 Weeks Since Invasion
Corruption Threshold: 3,200
Update Soundtrack: Mos Def’s Mathematics and Edwin Starr’s War
Bryansk is another one of those oversized towns that never deserved this. The Horse has enjoyed the more leisurely pace; his ears are upright and attentive. The Wanderer has done plenty of reconnaissance here, he knows damn well that there is nothing alive in the city. He had seen his share of abandoned food, not that much of it would be good, it’s been almost a year…
The realization blindsides him, the man who sees everything, The Eye of Providence himself. A whole year has nearly passed since the invasion.
Some dry goods though, he can hope for that much.
He has faith in this world, he can see people, humans and aliens alike, bringing the light of civilization to this world again. They give him faith.
Inside Bryansk the Wanderer soon finds a GAZelle, not a very attractive option, but an upgrade from the Horse, he could travel further at least. He has to at least get out and inspect his find, the keys are in the sunguard and the engine turns over with ease.
The horse has a frightened look in his eyes, like he doesn’t know if he can make it in Russia on his own.
“I understand buddy,” the Wanderer pulls a sugar cube out of his bag and offers it to the horse. Cube is, perhaps, an exaggeration. The lump of sugar collapses into deformity before the Horse accepts it, warily.
“I don’t think I could make it without you either.”
The pair move further into the city to inspect what can still be looted. When both have filled themselves on the wild plants that have grown out of gardens the Wanderer toasts a warm Stolichnaya, at the horse, he thinks for a second of what to toast.
All of the sudden it is clear to him, isn’t this some sort of American Holiday? He had heard that.
“Happy Thanksgiving buddy.”
“Happy Thanksgiving to you too.”
The Wanderer is prone to fits of sanity, he suspects that he will soon question the Mr. Ed shenanigans he just saw and heard, but for now he just throws back the vodka and smiles. He ties the horse up and prepares to sleep in one of the abandoned homes.
Sometimes it is hard to sleep, voices call out from everywhere, horses talking to him, the walls wondering why he keeps leaving places. Minsk was nice, they say, good people. Why not stay there?
Why Wander?
What are you doing?
Where?
The walls will not shut up.
Finally the Wanderer pulls off his helmet, sometimes it is best to just let the voices outside lull him to sleep. Not conducive to his sanity mind you, he knows it will have him saying strange things in the company of strangers for months, what he had learned about the Script Kiddies, the Lilin, Epsilon Squadron, all the others with their operations a whole world away from wherever he would wander next, but he tells them these strange stories about distant peoples, leaving everyone he speaks to wondering if it is even true.
But the Wanderer knows that these stories alone are true. These are the stories of a planet in Rebirth. These stories must be true, because it is these stories alone that give him hope.

In the Amazon, more Human technologies were unlocked with the study of Jets.
In the Nazca area the technicians were able to make out an extremely advanced farm, this farm may also possess, what they believe is a homing beacon to direct ships in.
The Neter, who have grown strange lately as they begin to adopt the Lilin lifestyle have repeatedly asked Qarinah to be sent to colonize Nazca, they claim they are the best qualified to work the homing beacon and that they are willing to adapt as fully to the Lilin as they need to or to bring as many Lilin as were needed to maintain trust between the settlements, they will require reliable transport across the continent first though.
The Belo Monte Dam was found, though it was not yet completed. The Hyperspanner that was sent with some technicians and a group of Soldiers to secure and repair the site proved instrumental in completing the electrical systems. The Lilin now have a source of electricity.
The Militia set as police were able to solve the corruption problems, the dealers seem to have fled town in terror.
The Succubi in Sapporo had apparently intercepted a series of human computer codes out of Beijing. The city has been taken over by a Sentient AI of hybridized code who regulates internet access, electricity, a Mind Control Ray and public transportation in that city. The messages that were sent out were seeds, trying to generate similar electronic awareness in other cities.
When informed of this threat, the Succubi were horrified.
The work of the Computers and Uplinks with the Neter were able to discover that Giza was still very much secured, but the electronic systems could not be contacted. Although Satellite photos showed that the base is still held by the Neter and no immediate threats, recent unconfirmed reports suggest a last minute attack may have been staged.
When it was clear that the base could not be contacted electronically the technicians began looking through the log of transmissions off of the Public Satellites to Giza. The code had been bounced around many frequencies, what the technicians were able to decipher safely was that it seemed to be a version of the Mr. Smiley Virus, a human attack program. It lacks the AI coding of the Rafiki attack programs, but it is still quite a hazard. This one had multiple self repair sequences, which was fortunate, because when the technicians first got the signal it was in Tourliski.
The coding had been very damaged by the translation, the self repair sequences must have been running full throttle to deal with it, by the time it hit its target it would have needed every ounce of computing power and bandwidth just to keep itself afloat. The virus had self destructed inside the mainframes of every single piece of Neter Electronics at Giza. The Pyramids were not affected, but the Neter continue to search for a reliable computer or uplink. Not even their ships are operational.
From Tourliski the coding went back to Spanish, bounced off of some other satellite from some computer in Medelin, again the translation was sloppy, the Virus took multiple paths, from here, both Iranian and Russian Computers were involved, but all of it was just bouncing away from one source trying to hide itself as it prepared it’s attack on Giza.
There were a number of false leads; the virus was well developed to avoid tracking with the self repair files copying versions of the virus from every possible source. But in the end the technicians are pretty sure that the Virus originated from Alexandria. They are not completely sure, and there are a couple of other possibilities, but senior technicians insist that was only the virus copying files in it’s first round of self repairs, copying files from all of the Mr. Smiley viruses in the network, the senior staff is quite certain that the source is Alexandria, a city recently taken over by the Script Kiddies. Machu Picchu has rewarded the Lilin with 2 Plasma Rifles for this information.
1,189 new civilians were recruited into the Lilin this turn, as well as a Neter Soldier retreating from the Yucatan Penninsula, who arrived in an ET APC.
4 Computers were lost to viruses, senior officers note that this could have been avoided if the satellite was launched, though it would take 2 Fuel and 2 Economy.
Support sent to the Dolphins was able to sink the Knights of Mordor’s remaining
Naval Crafts, ending their piracy… for now.

In Okinawa the Yankee Suns recruited a huge number of people into their organization, membership rosters are full from Akita to Kyoto, and much of Japan has come under their control. 4,567 new recruits are taxing the efficiency of the Yankee Suns as many veteran members are forced to do endless orientation seminars instead of helping the organization produce anything. On the other hand, once they are trained, these new recruits will vastly increase the power and reach of the Yankee Suns.
Rafiki Command Group 3.82 found themselves slightly better equipped to keep back the militias this turn but they were overrun by British militias who had Tourliski air support. Stonehenge is no longer under their control.
The first military unit was teleported this turn and was able to easily reprogram GSM-8BR on site.
There was a cyberattack against GSM-8BR almost immediately, although it fizzled out, the technicians claim it would take a long time to track the code, but it had a lot of structural similarities to a virus associated with the Giza Attacks.
The base was then intruded by a physical attack. A group of Human militia, although many wore slave collars, charged at the base before quickly retreating all the way back to Taldykorgan, without the ET APC that brought them there.
That ET APC, although the fighters of the Yankee Suns saw it put up quite a shoddy performance and perform a number of tactical errors, was able to defeat them and take control of the base. The identity of the attackers was never radioed back to Okinawa.
8 Fuel was found scattered across Western Japan, although it has not been recovered yet. There is also a Satellite in a Sony Plant in Matsue. None of this could be recovered remotely.
The flight to Giza was confronted by some fire over Syria, A Group of Puumon’s fired Plasma Rifles at the Squadron and the truth is that those things don’t even need to hit your Jet to melt your fuselage. The squadron elected to ignore the target and continue their mission.
In Giza it was discovered that the Neter base was still secured, in fact the arrival of the Okinawan jets was treated with some suspicion, especially since radio contact could not be made. The Neter at least seemed willing to hold fire until they had confirmed a threat. The Squadron Landed and the first thing that the guards had asked them was “Are you from Alexandria? Are you with those Script Kiddies?”
The Computers were not working, they discovered after the Neter had confirmed that these Humans were in fact members of the Yankee Suns there at the request of Kneph in Machu Picchu. But the officers did have a printed out copy of a intercepted diplomatic transmission requesting the assistance of the Script Kiddies, so that the Alexandrians could mount a full assault on Giza. The officers at Giza continue to fortify their position and are training Human soldiers from the nearby peoples to use weapons and to defend this land from an invasion that the Neter see as inevitable.
The Japanese Tabloid Industry has bloomed back into life in Kyoto, where many of the magazines speculate on the possible romance between the Empress and the ever Dashing Black Jet Finnegin of the Yankee Suns, with whom she has been reportedly spending a lot of time in “state meetings”. The Empress’s PR representative insists that these are merely silly rumors, although she respects the man very much as should all Yankee Suns.
The electronic assistance provided to the Knights of Mordor built a virus, but that virus was not able to penetrate the defenses of Easter Island. The Knights have also lost their remaining Naval Crafts.
The ET Uplinks suggested, and it was confirmed when troops arrived, that the base in the Philippines was abandoned. In the Uplinks of that base the soldiers discovered a 1,800 page manifesto attributed to “We the people, Anonymous,” and “All Authors,” which detailed the plans of the human inmates pretty clearly.
In this base the Humans were being trained for their potential as ET Pilots. The Rafiki had been quite impressed with the human operation of Jets and wished to cultivate Human Pilots of their own. Mind Control Rays were used both to indoctrinate the humans and to teach them the operation of the craft, this is standard procedure during a Rafiki invasion, it is the beginning of the assimilation of a Race.
The Humans had risen up, murdered everyone on the base, and stolen three groups of Fighters in order to “go forth and create a futuristic utopia, in the spirit of this volume,” as the Manifesto so eloquently put it.
With regards to the origin of the uprising the book is unclear, how the security protocols were disengaged months ago, none of this is explained in the Manifesto. The only hint is the dedication, “To He Who Wanders, May he set free all the Prisoners.” 4 working ET Fighters remain at the base, along with a Mind Control Ray and 5 ET Uplinks.
Uki was the base of operations for the Yakuza since the invasion, it was well defended with 4 Soldiers, though they only were proficient with firearms and had not yet figured out the firing mechanisms of lasers.
They still put up a fierce resistance, and the member of the Empress’s guard was lost along with a Soldier from Akita. Plasma Weapons were more than enough to deal with these troops and with a few blasts from the cannons of the APC the battle was over and the Yakuza were no more. The Yankee Suns now control most of Japan. 5 Firearms were recovered from Uki along with 6 Broken Human Computers.
Following a Rafiki lead the ET Uplinks focused on Hainan, where they found an ET Large Craft that no one had been able to salvage, and a stockpile of Plasma Weapons that had been dismissed as too dangerous to scavenge based on their explosive properties.
The Succubi of Sapporo have targeted viruses against the Yankee Suns, crippling 5 other Computers.
Scavengers in Kyoto recovered a Plasma Rifle and 4 Computers.

1,803 new citizens were able to pass the various exams that have been set up to control population size as the Economy grew from the previous population. In order for the Economy to grow further though, Shrimpy warns, they must obtain a reliable source of civilian electricity to power the industries as they grow. These new recruits brought 5 Fuel with them, although 2 were left at the gate due to the lack of a Fuel Depot.
Corruption was almost completely eradicated in this small monarchy with the adoption of a universal code of laws, and a judiciary system to enforce them. The laws are egalitarian and just, and the people have responded well to them, as they fit along Shrimpese customs as they have existed for decades.
The investigations into local human groups revealed that in Malakal a group of humans are attempting to resurrect South Sudan, in Bunia the Human group calls themselves the Totalitarian Republic of Shaba. Gabon has been taken over by the ONEP, the national oil workers union. Mogidishu remains held by Al Shabaab, an extremist anarchist militia.
A soldier was added to the Peak base, further improving the strength of this small monarchy, but the funds were not available last turn to add a second soldier.
The massive growth of hunting as a profession has caused many of the hunters to desire to form a sort of trade union, where they can train and gather apprentices and divide up hunting fields to avoid overhunting. They understand this may go against Princess Boundless’s ruling about fraternization, and they have asked for her thoughts on a Hunter’s Guild.
The work of the Computers and Uplinks with the Neter were able to discover that Giza was still very much secured, although the electronic systems could not be contacted. Although satellite photos showed that the base was still held by the Neter and no immediate threats, recent unconfirmed reports have suggested that a last minute attack may have occurred.

The virus had self destructed inside the mainframes of every single piece of Neter Electronics at Giza. The Pyramids were not affected, but the Neter continue to search for a reliable computer or uplink. Not even their ships are operational.
There were a number of false leads; it might not be possible to determine the true source.
Some Lilin posters on a pro-Neter internet forum have proposed that it was the Alexandria University in Egypt who perpetrated the attacks, but there is no way to be sure. Also undermining those rumors are the reports that Alexandria has recently been taken over by the Script Kiddies.
Scavengers who had been exploring in an attempt to locate new spaces to expand Peak Base stumbled upon what used to be an Alien base on the Mountain. A Teleporter has been discovered in Peak Base.

In Gabarone the Debeers Corporation found the Debswana headquarters, where many employees were happy to see the return of order and joined the group immediately.
The Botswana Telecommunications Company had 5 Computers, which more than made up for the 3 lost to Rafiki viruses. The eggheads claim that repairing the satellite with the Hyperspanner and then launching it would help avert this problem.
With their newly researched Plasma Weapons the soldiers of DeBeers obliterated what little resistance they encountered. They were able to scavenge 3 Human Tanks from a military base in Lohatla along with 3 Fuel.
5 Automobiles and 8 Computers were found in Springbok.
Louis Trichard Airbase was also secured, along with its 4 Squadrons of Jets, a Fuel Depot, and 8 Fuel.
The massive new holdings have meant that the population of DeBeers administration has grown massively, 1,848 new civilians have been brought into the faction.
The scientists at DeBeers have asked that a Laboratory be constructed, so that they can have a place to focus their research on these many necessary discoveries.

The troops of the Yucatan Penninsula were not nearly as well equipped as Los Communado had been, many of their civilians had also fled south, where they had been lured by the decadent lifestyles of the Lilin.
The Airstrikes softened up the defenses, and the ET APC and laser armed troops moved in. The soldier from Veracruz was lost in the battle, but the forces of the Vanguard were able to obliterate the defenses. Chitzen Itza was found to be the site of a Neter Laboratory which is now under control of the Nitros. There was also an ET Fighter left behind by the Neter.
Veracruz has pledged their allegiance to the Vanguard, and as a result they did not take their part of the cut.
The Gulf Cartel has also been almost completely assimilated into the Vanguard. Some of the businessmen of this organization have started to complain about the presence of another Cartel with trafficking corridors in Western Mexico, their shipments come in through Puerto Vallarta. The connections further down the line in Austin, or further up the supply chain in Medelin would both be very enthusiastic to see this problem dealt with. 1,672 new civilians now serve support roles for the Vanguard.
The Uplinks coordinated with Rafiki Command Group 3.82 and did a lot of damage to the high tech weapons of the hooligans. They were rewarded with the technology behind Mind Control Rays. Unfortunately this help was not enough to save the Rafiki and they were overrun by the militias, who had Tourliski air support.
The Power Plants in Mexico City can now be repaired, with the acquisition of a Hyperspanner from Veracruz.

In Rio the technologies behind their ET APC and their Plasma Rifles were uncovered through trade.
The technicians were not able to take control of GSM-8BR, there were apparently already soldiers on site who cut the power when they recognized the symptoms of a remote access Trojan.
In Giza the Army of the Script Kiddies waited until they had seen the foreign jets leave with an all clear signal to Machu Picchu and the others, although nothing could be done with the Uplinks on site as they had all previously been destroyed by the viruses.
The First Militia was destroyed in combat with the Neter, and the second retreated back to Alexandria because of their inferior discipline. The first of the new laser troops was able to defeat one of the entrenched Neter defenders, but was shattered by a flanking maneuver. The second of the new Laser troops was able to clean up the remaining forces.
The Power Plants and Farms in Giza are now under the control of the Script Kiddies; a group calling themselves Al Shabaab out of Mogidishu are tormented by hunger and are extremely interested in securing a supply of food, if the Script Kiddies can help. 2,072 new members joined this turn, but some fear that the Script Kiddies might just be a happy go lucky front for a sinister military regime. This has slowed recruitment. 4 Computers were lost to viruses.
Natal has a group of Leelah in it, they seem uninterestered in diplomacy and only amass larger and larger armies. They do not have the means to reach the encampments.
Montevideo is being run in an egalitarian fashion by a group of young Revolutionaries who have taken up the name of the Tupamaros.
Racial tensions in Brasilia have died down with the mass exile of anti-human Puumons. The mayor has taken a strong stand against that sort of thing.
There is a squadron of Nalese Fighter Pilots, Delta Squadron, in Canindeyu District in Paraguay. The Nalese have a Hyperspanner. They have resisted attempts at diplomacy though, claiming that they prefer independence.
Closer to their new holdings in Africa the group has discovered a Neter Commune in Mecca. These Neter are outraged by the attack on the Pyramids. Machu Picchu has declared a crusade against the Script Kiddies.

Bryansk is another one of those oversized towns that never deserved this. The Horse has enjoyed the more leisurely pace; his ears are upright and attentive.

Some dry goods though, he can hope for that much.
He has faith in this world, he can see people, humans and aliens alike, bringing the light of civilization to this world again. They give him faith.
Inside Bryansk the Wanderer soon finds a GAZelle, not a very attractive option, but an upgrade from the Horse, he could travel further at least. He has to at least get out and inspect his find, the keys are in the sunguard and the engine turns over with ease.
The horse has a frightened look in his eyes, like he doesn’t know if he can make it in Russia on his own.
“I understand buddy,” the Wanderer pulls a sugar cube out of his bag and offers it to the horse. Cube is, perhaps, an exaggeration. The lump of sugar collapses into deformity before the Horse accepts it, warily.
“I don’t think I could make it without you either.”
The pair move further into the city to inspect what can still be looted. When both have filled themselves on the wild plants that have grown out of gardens the Wanderer toasts a warm Stolichnaya, at the horse, he thinks for a second of what to toast.
All of the sudden it is clear to him, isn’t this some sort of American Holiday? He had heard that.
“Happy Thanksgiving buddy.”
“Happy Thanksgiving to you too.”
The Wanderer is prone to fits of sanity, he suspects that he will soon question the Mr. Ed shenanigans he just saw and heard, but for now he just throws back the vodka and smiles. He ties the horse up and prepares to sleep in one of the abandoned homes.
Sometimes it is hard to sleep, voices call out from everywhere, horses talking to him, the walls wondering why he keeps leaving places. Minsk was nice, they say, good people. Why not stay there?
Why Wander?
What are you doing?
Where?
The walls will not shut up.
Finally the Wanderer pulls off his helmet, sometimes it is best to just let the voices outside lull him to sleep. Not conducive to his sanity mind you, he knows it will have him saying strange things in the company of strangers for months, what he had learned about the Script Kiddies, the Lilin, Epsilon Squadron, all the others with their operations a whole world away from wherever he would wander next, but he tells them these strange stories about distant peoples, leaving everyone he speaks to wondering if it is even true.

In the Amazon, more Human technologies were unlocked with the study of Jets.
In the Nazca area the technicians were able to make out an extremely advanced farm, this farm may also possess, what they believe is a homing beacon to direct ships in.
The Neter, who have grown strange lately as they begin to adopt the Lilin lifestyle have repeatedly asked Qarinah to be sent to colonize Nazca, they claim they are the best qualified to work the homing beacon and that they are willing to adapt as fully to the Lilin as they need to or to bring as many Lilin as were needed to maintain trust between the settlements, they will require reliable transport across the continent first though.
The Belo Monte Dam was found, though it was not yet completed. The Hyperspanner that was sent with some technicians and a group of Soldiers to secure and repair the site proved instrumental in completing the electrical systems. The Lilin now have a source of electricity.
The Militia set as police were able to solve the corruption problems, the dealers seem to have fled town in terror.
The Succubi in Sapporo had apparently intercepted a series of human computer codes out of Beijing. The city has been taken over by a Sentient AI of hybridized code who regulates internet access, electricity, a Mind Control Ray and public transportation in that city. The messages that were sent out were seeds, trying to generate similar electronic awareness in other cities.
When informed of this threat, the Succubi were horrified.
The work of the Computers and Uplinks with the Neter were able to discover that Giza was still very much secured, but the electronic systems could not be contacted. Although Satellite photos showed that the base is still held by the Neter and no immediate threats, recent unconfirmed reports suggest a last minute attack may have been staged.
When it was clear that the base could not be contacted electronically the technicians began looking through the log of transmissions off of the Public Satellites to Giza. The code had been bounced around many frequencies, what the technicians were able to decipher safely was that it seemed to be a version of the Mr. Smiley Virus, a human attack program. It lacks the AI coding of the Rafiki attack programs, but it is still quite a hazard. This one had multiple self repair sequences, which was fortunate, because when the technicians first got the signal it was in Tourliski.
The coding had been very damaged by the translation, the self repair sequences must have been running full throttle to deal with it, by the time it hit its target it would have needed every ounce of computing power and bandwidth just to keep itself afloat. The virus had self destructed inside the mainframes of every single piece of Neter Electronics at Giza. The Pyramids were not affected, but the Neter continue to search for a reliable computer or uplink. Not even their ships are operational.
From Tourliski the coding went back to Spanish, bounced off of some other satellite from some computer in Medelin, again the translation was sloppy, the Virus took multiple paths, from here, both Iranian and Russian Computers were involved, but all of it was just bouncing away from one source trying to hide itself as it prepared it’s attack on Giza.
There were a number of false leads; the virus was well developed to avoid tracking with the self repair files copying versions of the virus from every possible source. But in the end the technicians are pretty sure that the Virus originated from Alexandria. They are not completely sure, and there are a couple of other possibilities, but senior technicians insist that was only the virus copying files in it’s first round of self repairs, copying files from all of the Mr. Smiley viruses in the network, the senior staff is quite certain that the source is Alexandria, a city recently taken over by the Script Kiddies. Machu Picchu has rewarded the Lilin with 2 Plasma Rifles for this information.
1,189 new civilians were recruited into the Lilin this turn, as well as a Neter Soldier retreating from the Yucatan Penninsula, who arrived in an ET APC.
4 Computers were lost to viruses, senior officers note that this could have been avoided if the satellite was launched, though it would take 2 Fuel and 2 Economy.
Support sent to the Dolphins was able to sink the Knights of Mordor’s remaining
Naval Crafts, ending their piracy… for now.

In Okinawa the Yankee Suns recruited a huge number of people into their organization, membership rosters are full from Akita to Kyoto, and much of Japan has come under their control. 4,567 new recruits are taxing the efficiency of the Yankee Suns as many veteran members are forced to do endless orientation seminars instead of helping the organization produce anything. On the other hand, once they are trained, these new recruits will vastly increase the power and reach of the Yankee Suns.
Rafiki Command Group 3.82 found themselves slightly better equipped to keep back the militias this turn but they were overrun by British militias who had Tourliski air support. Stonehenge is no longer under their control.
The first military unit was teleported this turn and was able to easily reprogram GSM-8BR on site.
There was a cyberattack against GSM-8BR almost immediately, although it fizzled out, the technicians claim it would take a long time to track the code, but it had a lot of structural similarities to a virus associated with the Giza Attacks.
The base was then intruded by a physical attack. A group of Human militia, although many wore slave collars, charged at the base before quickly retreating all the way back to Taldykorgan, without the ET APC that brought them there.
That ET APC, although the fighters of the Yankee Suns saw it put up quite a shoddy performance and perform a number of tactical errors, was able to defeat them and take control of the base. The identity of the attackers was never radioed back to Okinawa.
8 Fuel was found scattered across Western Japan, although it has not been recovered yet. There is also a Satellite in a Sony Plant in Matsue. None of this could be recovered remotely.
The flight to Giza was confronted by some fire over Syria, A Group of Puumon’s fired Plasma Rifles at the Squadron and the truth is that those things don’t even need to hit your Jet to melt your fuselage. The squadron elected to ignore the target and continue their mission.
In Giza it was discovered that the Neter base was still secured, in fact the arrival of the Okinawan jets was treated with some suspicion, especially since radio contact could not be made. The Neter at least seemed willing to hold fire until they had confirmed a threat. The Squadron Landed and the first thing that the guards had asked them was “Are you from Alexandria? Are you with those Script Kiddies?”
The Computers were not working, they discovered after the Neter had confirmed that these Humans were in fact members of the Yankee Suns there at the request of Kneph in Machu Picchu. But the officers did have a printed out copy of a intercepted diplomatic transmission requesting the assistance of the Script Kiddies, so that the Alexandrians could mount a full assault on Giza. The officers at Giza continue to fortify their position and are training Human soldiers from the nearby peoples to use weapons and to defend this land from an invasion that the Neter see as inevitable.
The Japanese Tabloid Industry has bloomed back into life in Kyoto, where many of the magazines speculate on the possible romance between the Empress and the ever Dashing Black Jet Finnegin of the Yankee Suns, with whom she has been reportedly spending a lot of time in “state meetings”. The Empress’s PR representative insists that these are merely silly rumors, although she respects the man very much as should all Yankee Suns.
The electronic assistance provided to the Knights of Mordor built a virus, but that virus was not able to penetrate the defenses of Easter Island. The Knights have also lost their remaining Naval Crafts.
The ET Uplinks suggested, and it was confirmed when troops arrived, that the base in the Philippines was abandoned. In the Uplinks of that base the soldiers discovered a 1,800 page manifesto attributed to “We the people, Anonymous,” and “All Authors,” which detailed the plans of the human inmates pretty clearly.
In this base the Humans were being trained for their potential as ET Pilots. The Rafiki had been quite impressed with the human operation of Jets and wished to cultivate Human Pilots of their own. Mind Control Rays were used both to indoctrinate the humans and to teach them the operation of the craft, this is standard procedure during a Rafiki invasion, it is the beginning of the assimilation of a Race.
The Humans had risen up, murdered everyone on the base, and stolen three groups of Fighters in order to “go forth and create a futuristic utopia, in the spirit of this volume,” as the Manifesto so eloquently put it.
With regards to the origin of the uprising the book is unclear, how the security protocols were disengaged months ago, none of this is explained in the Manifesto. The only hint is the dedication, “To He Who Wanders, May he set free all the Prisoners.” 4 working ET Fighters remain at the base, along with a Mind Control Ray and 5 ET Uplinks.
Uki was the base of operations for the Yakuza since the invasion, it was well defended with 4 Soldiers, though they only were proficient with firearms and had not yet figured out the firing mechanisms of lasers.
They still put up a fierce resistance, and the member of the Empress’s guard was lost along with a Soldier from Akita. Plasma Weapons were more than enough to deal with these troops and with a few blasts from the cannons of the APC the battle was over and the Yakuza were no more. The Yankee Suns now control most of Japan. 5 Firearms were recovered from Uki along with 6 Broken Human Computers.
Following a Rafiki lead the ET Uplinks focused on Hainan, where they found an ET Large Craft that no one had been able to salvage, and a stockpile of Plasma Weapons that had been dismissed as too dangerous to scavenge based on their explosive properties.
The Succubi of Sapporo have targeted viruses against the Yankee Suns, crippling 5 other Computers.
Scavengers in Kyoto recovered a Plasma Rifle and 4 Computers.

1,803 new citizens were able to pass the various exams that have been set up to control population size as the Economy grew from the previous population. In order for the Economy to grow further though, Shrimpy warns, they must obtain a reliable source of civilian electricity to power the industries as they grow. These new recruits brought 5 Fuel with them, although 2 were left at the gate due to the lack of a Fuel Depot.
Corruption was almost completely eradicated in this small monarchy with the adoption of a universal code of laws, and a judiciary system to enforce them. The laws are egalitarian and just, and the people have responded well to them, as they fit along Shrimpese customs as they have existed for decades.
The investigations into local human groups revealed that in Malakal a group of humans are attempting to resurrect South Sudan, in Bunia the Human group calls themselves the Totalitarian Republic of Shaba. Gabon has been taken over by the ONEP, the national oil workers union. Mogidishu remains held by Al Shabaab, an extremist anarchist militia.
A soldier was added to the Peak base, further improving the strength of this small monarchy, but the funds were not available last turn to add a second soldier.
The massive growth of hunting as a profession has caused many of the hunters to desire to form a sort of trade union, where they can train and gather apprentices and divide up hunting fields to avoid overhunting. They understand this may go against Princess Boundless’s ruling about fraternization, and they have asked for her thoughts on a Hunter’s Guild.
The work of the Computers and Uplinks with the Neter were able to discover that Giza was still very much secured, although the electronic systems could not be contacted. Although satellite photos showed that the base was still held by the Neter and no immediate threats, recent unconfirmed reports have suggested that a last minute attack may have occurred.
When it was clear that the base could not be contacted electronically the technicians began looking through the log of transmissions off of the Public Satellites to Giza. The code had been bounced around many frequencies, what the technicians were able to decipher safely was that it seemed to be a version of the Mr. Smiley Virus, a human attack program. It lacks the AI coding of the Rafiki attack programs, but it is still quite a hazard.

The Pyramids were not affected, but the Neter continue to search for a reliable computer or uplink. Not even their ships are operational.
There were a number of false leads; it might not be possible to determine the true source.
Some Lilin posters on a pro-Neter internet forum have proposed that it was the Alexandria University in Egypt who perpetrated the attacks, but there is no way to be sure. Also undermining those rumors are the reports that Alexandria has recently been taken over by the Script Kiddies.
Scavengers who had been exploring in an attempt to locate new spaces to expand Peak Base stumbled upon what used to be an Alien base on the Mountain. A Teleporter has been discovered in Peak Base.

In Gabarone the Debeers Corporation found the Debswana headquarters, where many employees were happy to see the return of order and joined the group immediately.
The Botswana Telecommunications Company had 5 Computers, which more than made up for the 3 lost to Rafiki viruses. The eggheads claim that repairing the satellite with the Hyperspanner and then launching it would help avert this problem.
With their newly researched Plasma Weapons the soldiers of DeBeers obliterated what little resistance they encountered. They were able to scavenge 3 Human Tanks from a military base in Lohatla along with 3 Fuel.
5 Automobiles and 8 Computers were found in Springbok.
Louis Trichard Airbase was also secured, along with its 4 Squadrons of Jets, a Fuel Depot, and 8 Fuel.
The massive new holdings have meant that the population of DeBeers administration has grown massively, 1,848 new civilians have been brought into the faction.
The scientists at DeBeers have asked that a Laboratory be constructed, so that they can have a place to focus their research on these many necessary discoveries.

The troops of the Yucatan Penninsula were not nearly as well equipped as Los Communado had been, many of their civilians had also fled south, where they had been lured by the decadent lifestyles of the Lilin.
The Airstrikes softened up the defenses, and the ET APC and laser armed troops moved in. The soldier from Veracruz was lost in the battle, but the forces of the Vanguard were able to obliterate the defenses. Chitzen Itza was found to be the site of a Neter Laboratory which is now under control of the Nitros. There was also an ET Fighter left behind by the Neter.
Veracruz has pledged their allegiance to the Vanguard, and as a result they did not take their part of the cut.
The Gulf Cartel has also been almost completely assimilated into the Vanguard. Some of the businessmen of this organization have started to complain about the presence of another Cartel with trafficking corridors in Western Mexico, their shipments come in through Puerto Vallarta. The connections further down the line in Austin, or further up the supply chain in Medelin would both be very enthusiastic to see this problem dealt with. 1,672 new civilians now serve support roles for the Vanguard.
The Uplinks coordinated with Rafiki Command Group 3.82 and did a lot of damage to the high tech weapons of the hooligans. They were rewarded with the technology behind Mind Control Rays. Unfortunately this help was not enough to save the Rafiki and they were overrun by the militias, who had Tourliski air support.
The Power Plants in Mexico City can now be repaired, with the acquisition of a Hyperspanner from Veracruz.

In Rio the technologies behind their ET APC and their Plasma Rifles were uncovered through trade.
The technicians were not able to take control of GSM-8BR, there were apparently already soldiers on site who cut the power when they recognized the symptoms of a remote access Trojan.
In Giza the Army of the Script Kiddies waited until they had seen the foreign jets leave with an all clear signal to Machu Picchu and the others, although nothing could be done with the Uplinks on site as they had all previously been destroyed by the viruses.
The First Militia was destroyed in combat with the Neter, and the second retreated back to Alexandria because of their inferior discipline. The first of the new laser troops was able to defeat one of the entrenched Neter defenders, but was shattered by a flanking maneuver. The second of the new Laser troops was able to clean up the remaining forces.
The Power Plants and Farms in Giza are now under the control of the Script Kiddies; a group calling themselves Al Shabaab out of Mogidishu are tormented by hunger and are extremely interested in securing a supply of food, if the Script Kiddies can help. 2,072 new members joined this turn, but some fear that the Script Kiddies might just be a happy go lucky front for a sinister military regime. This has slowed recruitment. 4 Computers were lost to viruses.
Natal has a group of Leelah in it, they seem uninterestered in diplomacy and only amass larger and larger armies. They do not have the means to reach the encampments.
Montevideo is being run in an egalitarian fashion by a group of young Revolutionaries who have taken up the name of the Tupamaros.
Racial tensions in Brasilia have died down with the mass exile of anti-human Puumons. The mayor has taken a strong stand against that sort of thing.
There is a squadron of Nalese Fighter Pilots, Delta Squadron, in Canindeyu District in Paraguay. The Nalese have a Hyperspanner. They have resisted attempts at diplomacy though, claiming that they prefer independence.
Closer to their new holdings in Africa the group has discovered a Neter Commune in Mecca. These Neter are outraged by the attack on the Pyramids. Machu Picchu has declared a crusade against the Script Kiddies.

SKILORD
Insurgent
The French began to extend their tendrils outwards, spreading dissent in the Leelah stronghold of Vichy. These human militias have begun making big trouble for the aliens. These Aliens have not been able to focus on any external threats.
The Construction of a Power Plant and a Fuel Depot in Caen brought massive credibility to the new French Empire. The future of the Economy seems only greatness.

Traders travelling to Vichy were able to uncover a MBDA Factory in Bourges, where they found a stockpile with 3 Rockets and 4 Computers and 8 Fuel.
Population growth slowed this turn, despite the acquisition of Nameur only 865 new civilians were recruited. Apparently in addition to the Leelah stronghold in Vichy many other Frenchman have been forced into submission by a Sentient AI, almost a supervirus composed of a combination of codes and techniques. The AI has taken control of the electrical grid, public transportation, surveillance, telecommunications service, and a Mind Control Ray in Dijon and manipulates them ruthlessly to keep people trapped and subservient. It is possible that this could be dealt with if enough computers and technicians were set to the task.
Scientists at the university claim that their research could be done more effectively if they were given a Laboratory in one or two of the encampments, although if it were built in Caen it would require upkeep because of the arcane so called rules.

The addition of a Farm in Phoenix was able to bring a lot of new refugees in from the East, 1,204 new civilians were recruited to the group. They brought a remarkable 3 Fuel with them
Control was established over the Hoover Dam finally this turn, with the elimination of the Leelah militias through a combined action from the North and the South. Indian Springs was overrun, and the disorganized Leelahs had not even managed to defeat a single Resistance soldier.
The major was able to contact and recruit another base in Cheyenne Mountain, with 2 Rockets inside. When they heard that the Resistance had the cooperation of US Missile Command they were glad to join.
The research of ET Fighters proceeded well this turn with the existing models undergoing extensive repairs. The scientists in Primm are beginning to feel overworked. They claim that some of their workload could be alleviated with the construction of laboratories in other cities, which would help to speed this and future research.
With the control of reliable civilian electricity and the new security provided by the destruction of the Leelah militias to the northeast the economy of the Resistance seems only set to glory days. At this rate the aliens will be evacuated or dead in no time.

Omicron Wings Economy grew this turn, as did its empire, with the assimilation of Gamma Squadron in Kabul and new faraway conquests. Gamma Squadron brought in a new ET Fighter, but they will require the Hyperspanner to repair it.
The Fighters sent to attack the Rafiki in England were extremely successful; although the Rafiki were equipped with lasers they did not stand a chance against air support. Much to the delight of the attackers in Omicron and Zeta Wings, after the air strikes had finished they watched a group of local partisans storm the complex and take control of Wiltshire.
The Computer put on East African surveillance was destroyed by a Mr. Smiley virus that originated in Mogadishu.
The assimilation of Gamma Squadron and many new human volunteers have added 2,672 new citizens to the sphere of protection, they were attracted by the booming economy and safety of Omicron Wing, but the sheer size of the numbers is breeding disorder, some senior officers advocate the creation of a basic set of laws, and building a courthouse to help enforce them.
ET Uplinks located an operable ET Large Craft landed in Oktyabr, but they could not make contact with the crew if there was one. It is possible they are working with the natives, what was once a small village according to human records is now a growing and thriving city. There may be more Alien technology there, it would explain the growth.
They also found resources in Hainan, at the former secondary landing site for Ground Troops there is an ET Large Craft that no one had been able to salvage, and a stockpile of Plasma Weapons that had been dismissed as too dangerous to scavenge
The Leelah in the Korean DMZ, the Primary Landing Site, are armed with lasers and concerned about local human groups such as the Yankee Suns, there are also Succubi in Sapporo who are already conducting cyberattacks against humans in the region.
The ET APC sent to GSM-8BR found it already occupied by a human force. The militia retreated, terrified of the lasers that they wielded, but with the assistance of the armor (although the Tourliski pilots did have some small trouble operating them) was able to overrun the humans and defeat them.
Recovered from the battle were the lasers that the humans had been using, in addition to Identification marking them as soldiers of the Yankee Suns. As for how they got here first, the technicians who have investigated the site have located some residue consistent with the use of a Teleporter. The Base has fired off all the missiles in its stockpile and it might be difficult for the Tourliski to learn the operation of such a strangely nuanced yet primitive technology, it will produce its first Rocket next turn.

The Armies of SHEILD continued to grow; militias staged a frontal assault on the base, but were completely decimated in the battle. Although 2 retreated and will probably continue to cause problems, it is unlikely that they will attempt to attack the compound again.
Refugees have begun to pour back into the base after the defeat of the militias. 1,298 came in this turn; they brought a collection of 2 Plasma Rifles, a Tank, and 1 Fuel.
Some senior officials believe that it would be best to either construct or take over another encampment in order to give refugees a better place to live than at SHEILD headquarters.

With the completion of the Power Plant near the Makuna Hatata the economy of Epsilon Squadron is prepared to explode, and it began expanding this turn, growing to 6.
Scavengers, working in tandem with uplink technicians were able to recover a collection of Alien technology this turn, including an ET APC and an ET Fighter along with a Hyperspanner and 3 Fuel.
The crashed Satellite was repaired but it will still require 2 Economy and 2 Fuel to launch it.
A Fuel Shortage will prevent Epsilon Squadron from using more than 1 Fuel next turn, or else they will risk shutdown of the Power Plant and Economic collapse. Senior officers recommend the construction of a Fuel Depot to allow scavengers to store their fuel findings more efficiently, especially with the new power plant and also the Naval Craft.
The new source of electricity has drawn in 1,908 new civilians, undocumented refugees who continue to see their plight ignored. These refugees bring rumors of immobile alien technologies found in Port Hedland.

It is possible they are working with the natives, what was once a small village according to human records is now a growing and thriving city. There may be more Alien technology there, it would explain the growth.
They also found resources in Hainan, at the former secondary landing site for Ground Troops there is an ET Large Craft that no one had been able to salvage, and a stockpile of Plasma Weapons that had been dismissed as too dangerous to scavenge
The Leelah in the Korean DMZ, the Primary Landing Site, are armed with lasers and concerned about local human groups such as the Yankee Suns, there are also Succubi in Sapporo who are already conducting cyberattacks against humans in the region.
The ET APC sent to GSM-8BR found it already occupied by a human force. The militia retreated, terrified of the lasers that they wielded, but with the assistance of the armor (although the Tourliski pilots did have some small trouble operating them) was able to overrun the humans and defeat them.
Recovered from the battle were the lasers that the humans had been using, in addition to Identification marking them as soldiers of the Yankee Suns. As for how they got here first, the technicians who have investigated the site have located some residue consistent with the use of a Teleporter. The Base has fired off all the missiles in its stockpile and it might be difficult for the Tourliski to learn the operation of such a strangely nuanced yet primitive technology, it will produce its first Rocket next turn.
(+1 Economic Level, +7 Reputation, +2,672 Population, +3 Soldiers, +GSM-8BR)

The Armies of SHEILD continued to grow; militias staged a frontal assault on the base, but were completely decimated in the battle. Although 2 retreated and will probably continue to cause problems, it is unlikely that they will attempt to attack the compound again.
Refugees have begun to pour back into the base after the defeat of the militias. 1,298 came in this turn; they brought a collection of 2 Plasma Rifles, a Tank, and 1 Fuel.
Some senior officials believe that it would be best to either construct or take over another encampment in order to give refugees a better place to live than at SHEILD headquarters.
There are still diplomatic matters that require Nick Furrys attention.

With the completion of the Power Plant near the Makuna Hatata the economy of Epsilon Squadron is prepared to explode, and it began expanding this turn, growing to 6.
Scavengers, working in tandem with uplink technicians were able to recover a collection of Alien technology this turn, including an ET APC and an ET Fighter along with a Hyperspanner and 3 Fuel.
The crashed Satellite was repaired but it will still require 2 Economy and 2 Fuel to launch it.
A Fuel Shortage will prevent Epsilon Squadron from using more than 1 Fuel next turn, or else they will risk shutdown of the Power Plant and Economic collapse. Senior officers recommend the construction of a Fuel Depot to allow scavengers to store their fuel findings more efficiently, especially with the new power plant and also the Naval Craft.
The new source of electricity has drawn in 1,908 new civilians, undocumented refugees who continue to see their plight ignored. These refugees bring rumors of immobile alien technologies found in Port Hedland.
With the help of Nalese Fighters the Dolphins were able to destroy the Knights of Mordors Naval Craft, ending their threat for now.

The Depth Readings dropped below four digits and Swims with Otters exhales with relief before taking a deep breath and diving deeper into the Ship. He squeaks and activates some of the systems; the water around him begins to warm up. The Computer squeaks back at him.
“Technology makes you weak; it solves none of your problems.”
Swims with Otters sighs, it is always this, all Dolphin technology seemed to be hardwired to remind you that technology is bad. Maybe he had spent too much time at Sea World, maybe he had just been too close, spent too much time with too many humans, but he doesn’t buy into that philosophy himself. He had a front row seat to the war of the world and Humans didn’t get saved by the purity of their spirits, they were saved by technology, computer hackers and nuclear missiles.
The Homing Beacon for the Dolphin mother ship had been activated for months, but no one had come here to claim it until Swims with Otters showed up. He had been friends with Shamu, the big guy was smarter than he let on, and he had taught Swims with Otters a number of whale songs, enough to make conversation. And the whales out here weren’t going to be able to pilot the ship, just maybe bump it up high enough for Otters to dive into it.
Only a few hundred feet now, he squeals with excitement and activates a few more of the Ship’s systems. The Comm and Translator systems come on and he hears a message from a group of human ships, “We have been searching for you, may we dock?”
“Check your position, I’m coming up fast.”
“Affirmative, Sea Shepherd out.”
The Computer finishes, “Technology solves none of your problems.”
“Yeah Right,” Otters squeaks right back.
This is great, Otters thinks, the same sort of technology he had always seen humans using, better even, and not only that, but built for the use of Dolphins. He doesn’t even care about the whiny computers, Swims with otters has never been happier, imagining all the fish he can catch with this thing.
The ship breaks the surface and comes to rest, Otters lets a long snort out of his blowhole, despite the protections he’d already been given by the pressurized cabin.
“Sea Shepherd, you may dock.”
A collection of humans on Naval Craft, a fine addition to his new ship, squeaks open up the above water doors, and a burly, white bearded man smiles and introduces himself in some human language. Swims with Otters squeaks back at him and he frowns, before returning to his ship.
The comm line opens back up, with the translator, “More ships are coming, we are glad to help you recover your technology.”
He squeaks back, “Good. Just don’t go building a city out here on top of this thing.”
The comm system transmits a laugh, “What do you mean?”
“Well,” and he squeaks out the final activation codes, things he was reading off of the wall. Everything was explained in clear hieroglyphs, apparently his ancestors had thought this day might come and didn’t assume their primitivist progeny would remember how to work this thing.
The overhead lights shine at full force as the generators come to full power, the Computer says, “The Mothership Atlantis has been activated. But remember, it will only let you down.”
-
Atlantis has risen! There are currently 3 ET Large Craft and 4 Naval Craft there. It will add 1 unit every turn, that unit will either be a Naval Craft or an ET Large Craft. The Dolphins and Humans who control Atlantis prefer factions who embrace the Circle. This Wonder can be reprogrammed.
