The Number Pi
Irrational Number
Sorry for the delay. Here is the next update!
The Number Pi: Hello, Ethan Carter, there is something I must tell you.
Ethan Carter: What is it? Oh, before you go on, would you lkie a cup of coffee? Based on past events; it's probabily a good trade deal, or even an alliance?
The Number Pi: Well, no. Regretably, I am declaring war.
Ethan Carter: War?!?! Why? What has Jail Rock Inc. done to offend you?
The Number Pi: Nothing. It's just that I must conquer this planet, and your nation is nearby, and weak. I offer you the chance now to surrender; without fighting. As the technology does not exist yet for one state to dominate another, your land would be annexxed. No vassals in this game....
Ethan Carter: I can't accept that. To battle then!
The Number Pi: We are now enemies, show no mercy, and expect none from me.
Ethan Carter: Well this is annoying. I used to think our nations were friends. Now you are my worst enemy! I SHALL DESTROY YOU!!!
*The Number Pi leaves; an hour passes*
*he glances at his map:*
Ethan Carter: ARGGGHHH! That was fast!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chieko Teramura: Accept this deal. Show some intelligence.
The Number Pi: Hmmmm.... very well. I accept.
Chieko Teramura: Good. That will be all-
The Number Pi: Now about showing intelligence.... Let's see...
The Number Pi:2+2=4!!!!

The Number Pi: The governemnt needs restructuring. I want science to be predominate in our society. Also, I want Earth to recognise us as a legitamate power; and I want a fair alliance, not to be a colony.
The Number Pi: (the one from Earth) Fair enough. You are now an ally, not a colony, of America. What's the ETA on those soldiers?
The Number Pi: Working on it. There are many enemies over here you know!
The Number Pi: Now about the science.... I'm sure nobody will even consider protesting these changes, let alone rebellion and civil war.
*5 minutes later*
The Number Pi: WHY WOULD SOMEBODY EVEN CONSIDER REVOLTING AGAINST THE LOSS OF MOST PERSONAL FREEDOMS TO THE BENEFIT OF SCIENCE?!?!?!?! WHO DOES NOT WANT TO FIGHT ENDLESSLY TO SUPPORT A GOVERNMENT MANY LIGHTYEARS AWAY?!?!?! Oh.... never mind....

John Preston: I hereby dedicate this academy to the betterment of humanity. To fight for unity and peace. We will end this civil war; and defeat the Jail! From here, nothing will stop us!
The American general, John Preston, founded a military academy during the civil war of 2250. He trained elite units to defeat rebel forces, and reinforce the front lines. This academy was a valuable asset to the government in the difficult times it was pushing through.

Scientist: Here is my report on the state of terraforming operations, Commander.
The Number Pi: Amazing progress! This is truely a great achievement!
Scientist: Yes. I am actually writing a book about-
The Number Pi: OK, OK. As good as it is, the war is more intereesting. General! How is it going?
General: See for yourself:
The Number Pi: So we won? Good. Where is Ethan Cater?
General: He disappeared... it is strange. One minute he was there, the next he was not.
Typer: Not to worry, he is safe here.
Ethan Carter: Hi Anish Hawa.
Anish Hawa Hello, fellow leader-who-was-conquered-by-The Number Pi. We get a front row view to world conquest. I suggest getting some popcorn, I think it's about to get pretty good.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Advanced Terraforming Practices: A Comprehensive Study said:A fine example of desert terraforming can be found in the colonisation of Sigma Centurai, in the Alpha Centurai system. Scientists scoured the desert looking for something from which to base their efforts off of. Unlike Earth, deserts on alien worlds are truely empty places; no foliage, water, or even small animals. This presents a great challenge: starting the ecosystem. Other landscapes usually have something to work with, but deserts are barren.
To overcome this obstacle, considerable effort is necessary. The scientific team from Quincy in January 2248 developed an innovative method for the desert to the northeast. They bio-engineered a special fungus, Centurai terranius, which was able to leech Hydrogen and Oxygen from the ground. Over a period of weeks, the fungus was able to amass considerable stores as it weas deployed in the region. The fungus then began to synthesise water. This water was combined with seeds carried by the fungi. From this diverse life gained a foothold in the region (the seeds were not of the fungus, but of other species; the fungus merely carried them).
Terraforming of slightly more useful land is shown through the eforts of the scientists of Adams, Jefferson, and Quincy (again). In the years 2248 and 2249, teams from these cities terraformed the common Sigma Centurai-ian landscape into fertile land, similar to that of Earth.
The problem of the rusty soil of Sigma Centurai was that it had too great of a mineral and metal concentration to be good farmland, while at the same time lacking vital nitrates and moisture. Many techniques had been used in the past; but the ones discussed here are most similar to modern practices.
Most of the metals in the soil were heavily oxidised and rusted. This allowed scientists acess to abundane oxygen supplies. Minerals were reacted with acids on a large scale to create Hydrogen gas. Recent energy-absorbtion efforts had removed the strong winds the region usually experienced, so the gas was relitavely easy to trap: a large tent-like cieling was placed over the region to trap the gas. Forced reactions between the Oxygen and Hydrogen produced water.
This solved the moisture problem. Also, it served another purpose: as it trickled into the soil, it leeched the metals down with it. The metals were disperced enough that the water could dissolve them. This opened the way for pioneer organisms to begin to produce nitrates and nitrites; imports from the southern mines helped too. The end result was a large amount of ariable land.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Advanced Terraforming Practices: A Comprehensive Study said:During the civil war, terraforming efforts were continued; although the effects were unknown until government authority was later reestablished.
During the civil war of 2250; rebel groups hid in the countryside, fighting a gurella war. This isolated land was difficult o sustain a base of combatants on. So, scientists were captured and forced to terraform the land. Due to the lack of records, and the fact that the rebels murdered the scientists before being captured, we know little of what methods were implemented.
Testing of the soil indicated that large, underground, lakes were tapped into. With these wells, irrigation projects were easily carried out. Resiliant; nutrient-producing bacteria and plants were used to change the land. Although they had no direct value to humans; they transformed the land into something that could support better agriculture and domestication.

Spoiler General's Journal :
The siege of Alcatraz was a brutal one. We used our massed artillary to decimate their defenses, months of shelling reduced most of the city to rubble, when we finally reached the town square, we wre surrounded with ruins and corpses.
Mechanized forces, troop carriers and tanks, were the ones to enter first. They blew through the defending infantry. When the enemy tried to run, out Golitah units outflanked them and killed the runners. These "battlemechs" are truely amazing! A great fear of American engineering and production. No nation can hope to math them, we must use them at every opportunity possible.
With the soldiers swept aside, we had to press onward. Snipers and civilian militia faced us at every destoyed building. We started to actually shoot down anything that might have held enemies. Who knows how many civilians we killed this way?
Arriving at the center square; we declared victory. We imposed martial law, and imposed a strong garrisson. Reconstruction of buildings was first. I am not one of the engineers, so I don't know specifics. I do know that many riots for materials had to be put dowm. Many months passed before normal functionality returned to the place. During this time, at least 1237 civilians were killed due to the rioting. We would have burned the place, like we did in Guntanimo, but the Commander wants to keep as much as is possible.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Advanced Terraforming Practices: A Comprehensive Study said:May 2251 was a onth of great success in terraforming. New plants and animals taken from the Jail War as loot were implemented in the north, and found to by highly adaptive and useful.
The Arawak ship had been supplied with all matter of genetic supplies and terraforming organisms. When it was destroyed, they were lost. Some colonies from the ship manages to take some with them into the escape pods though. And they used them. However, each organism was fine tuned to a certain region of the planet. And was most sucessful there. The colonists did not know where they should land to benefit from this the most, so the organisms were scattered and not meeting teir potential.
America happened to be on the location where the Jail organisms were designed for. Once unleashed, they set about transforming the lans with unparalleled success. Once this succeeded, they mutated and evolved to fit as food sources in these landscapes. America had never seen such advanced technology.
Many theories were presented as to how the organisms were so sucessful. The most commmon one is that, abord the Arawak ship, the auto-labs were working with the observation computer to create the creatures for each environment. Some testing revealed that evolution in an environment that it was not well-suited for made the organisms more conservative in their use of resources, leading to great efficiency once they were in ideal conditions.

Soldier's Journal said:We took Robben Island today. It was a long siege. I am still having trouble hearing after all the artillary. This was an "easier" fight than Alacatraz, in that the citizens were more willing to not try to get us to shoot them. Still, a bucketload of them died trying to stop us from taking their store of plants and animals. More had to be sent to the scientists. Appatently they were extremely good for terraforming back home!
The General is saying that the army is going to rest here for a fwe months. We need to make repairs to the tanks, carriers, battlemechs.... I just realised I should be guading the power room! My shift started 15 minutes ago!
