INVASION: Alien Conquest!

[Eliasdagood]

She is well aware of how difficult it will be to farm these creatures, and sends a message back to the ship to offer their usual deal. Some of her materials, in exchange for technology. Clones will serve her purposes for now. But she will want a sample from each of her cultists. Blood is taken from each, so that she will be able to pick the most fit of them for each of her children to inhabit. For now, she selects the males without breeding partners, and takes them into her pyramid, so each one can be made host for her children.

General Deth Glitch :

In the dead of night, Overlord Maeder made his move on a light oil tanker with a crew compliment of only 20 on board. Catching the crew by surprise, Half were hacked to death and the other half made to surrender in a record time. GAIN 20 biomass.

The Captain however, loathe to go down without a fight, with the last of his crew, managed to kill 3 of Maeder's space Vikings with small arms fire minus 6 biomass before throwing them overboard.

What was left was a quandry of Opulence. 100 R and 200 E were the full take from the oil tanker, but Maeder only had the time and cargo capacity to escape with 50 units of cargo before interceptors came to investigate as his ships were not cloaked.

Decision point: get help from other factions to increase amount salvaged, or take 50 units of commodities of your choice and scuttle the ship. You must leave no sign of your passing.

Heyitsjiwon :

Their collusion with the Necromorphs at the ISS was considered a strategic victory, even if the platform could not be captured. With it's removal, reigns loosened on encrypted information but the location of the secret UN base was yet to be determined -- only the highest of military officials were party to it's existence, though it was learned that the greatest human scientists were still being gathered to be sent to this installation... if one could be... replaced... it would give a good angle on what the humans had brewing.

Continued gathering of resources in the amazon amounted to 40 R, mostly delivered by the labor robots.

The Propaganda droid went underground with a larger base of followers including more affluent members. Acetiscism by members of the fold lead to tithes to the growing propaganda cult, amounting to 5 B, 5 R, and 2 E. However, local authorities began to take an interest in cult activities leading to detainees and in one case arrests. The Propaganda droid was driven deeper underground for things to cool down, and indeed they did with increasing fears of extra terrestrial incursion overshadowing some charismatic Svengali... for now at least.

Pat :

The moon, at least for an operation of Qoq's scale, was a poor potential for resources.

Helium-3 however, proved to be a clean and readily available energy source for exploitation, and they casually withdrew 50 E worth of He-3 before receiving a message from the Mother Brain:

"Your fighters are the best weapons of the invasion force thus far -- they are unit for mining operations. To gain my favor I want human interceptors to rain down upon the dirt and oceans of this primitive world. The Iradae are needed."

 

[Pat]

"Big Sister calls and we answer! Get your new and improved shields online, you'll be needing them in the coming dogfights ahead of you." Qoq shouted above the tumultuous din of the Iradae hanger bay. The helium-3 haul from the moon mission was impressive, enough to upgrade the shields of their starfighters to a comfortable MK VI. Her squadron of seven departed for Earth minutes later once the reinstallation was complete. At the edge of the atmosphere they waited, scanning for isolated Earthling squadrons and decrypting air force transmissions, before plunging downwards to engage fighter jets as birds of prey catch mice. Receiving the message of the Lii'dra loud and clear, they began their dive to provide their assistance with dispatching the pesky incoming interceptors.

 

[Beckoncall]

Thorn_Reaper :

As numerous interceptors converged, The zerg craft took aloft to break the atmosphere with speed. Numerous missiles were fired after the alien craft, but the Overlord unit escaped. Still -- there was proven footage of military "clashing" with extraterrestrials now, and the global military was emboldened by apparently being able to drive off the enemy without engagement.

Zerg craft escapes.

 

[Beckoncall]

mausedpotatos :

Lii'dra interceptors rose high in the air to face the interceptors above the oil rig... The first shot blared from the scout at maximum range, blasting an interceptor into a cloud of fire before the interceptors fired their missiles and scrambled for another pass.

There would be resistance. The Lii'dar would give it.

The fighters ably avoided the swarm of missiles, exploding dangerously above the oil rig. The second pass, The interceptors faced a withering cloud of ground based fire from the Lii'dar soldiers. Two interceptors crashed into the sea riddled with bullets, with two more felled by alien fighters.

The squadrons converged, though by this point all supplies had been loaded.

Before the squadrons could wheel around again -- the scout fled with it's 50 energy and a large chunk of the oil rig equal to 10 resources and returned for a second pass for resources.

the fighters then played rear-guard as the scout achieved escape velocity, safely released commodities into orbit for later retrieval, then returned for captured humans.

Before the full extraction one of the fighters was damaged by concentrated cannon fire -- but all Lii'Dar continued the fight. The fight was easier now... because the humans had become reserved.

50 units of Biomass were extracted in bagged humans and the last of the Lii'dar boarded the scout ship.

Another interceptor was put down by the scout, continued evasive manuevers with outgoing fire rattled out at the badgering interceptors.

It looked as if one of the fighters would be downed by the remaining interceptors, but heavily damaged and trailing gases, all three craft broke out of the atmosphere and escaped... with all Lii'Dra on board.

It would take additional time to return that fighter to service, but the mission was considered a success.

Pat :

As the Lii'Dra began to withdraw, the Iradae advanced fighters swooped in and dissolved the enemy nuisance interceptors. New waves were scrambled, but the Iradae would not remain to be caught with an engagement not in their favor.

Blasting the Oil Rig into oblivion... the sea burned with the wreckage of enemy fighter planes and the wreck of the oil rig.

ALERT: Domestic Aircraft being redirected to the ground. Military presence in the air is on seemingly full alert!

The fittest and most cunning genes were winnowed down out of the most able and promising of the compound.

Slowly, the members of the compound were converted into feline warrior assassins. 20 new troops were created -- cloned on the sleeper ship and sent back to the compound.

The goddess began to sense a change in the wind among her human followers -- they had begun to fear her. Their fragile wills would have to be mollified if their blind subservience was to be maintained...

 

[Eliasdagood]

Triaxa notes that they’re growing afraid. Ah, not much else could have been expected. She is more powerful than them. But how to change that? Perhaps she should just spend some time with them, outside of her pyramid. She will teach them of how she is enlightening them, making them stronger and more intelligent as a gift. Meanwhile, she’s going to use the clones as new hosts, and send them out as scouts.

Zerg
​

The zerg couldn't allow the research laboratory to keep existing. Those hydralisk spines had to be GONE. Loading an overlord with a dozen zerglings, and this time with four mutalisk escorts, the overlord was sent to silently enter the planet and unleash the zerglings upon the laboratory. Once everyone there is dead, they would destroy all evidence of the Zerg, then take all the bodies and leave.

Meanwhile, ONE changeling would attempt to rise in the military ranks as much as possible. If discovered, it must be kept isolated, and the other changelings must get rid of any Zerg tissue. Two other changelings would attempt to infiltrate the Russian Aerospace Forces, same precautions as before.

And the last overlord would be stuffed with four hydralisk and eight zerglings, and sent to gather biomass at Africa, again, attacking small towns, with four zerglings picking off anyone who attempts to escape, and making sure not to leave any trace this time. The Iradae would escort the overlord throught a previously made deal.

Orders:
-Sent an overlord with a dozen zerglings and four mutalisk escorts to destroy all evidence within the laboratory (again). Take as many bodies as possible, but retreat if things start to go south.

-Order ONE changeling to attempt to rise in the Russian military, and uncover any information of interest

-Sent one overlord, with four hydralisks and eight zerglings, would once again collect biomass attacking small towns, with four zerglings chasing off anyone trying to escape. Once they have stuffed the overlord with biomass, they would retreat. All the while, the Iradae fighters would escort them.​

 

[mausedpotatos]

Refolded clear poly-carbonate capture bags sat in the corner of the cargo storage room, neatly folded up. The humans that had occupied them had been mercifully allowed to suffocate in their artificial sleep before being broken down into biomass. Almost all had still been in their oil rig attire when they had been forcibly dragged to the top deck and placed into a capture bag; hard hats covered in blood, jumpsuits torn, and singed work boots. Their reactions had reportedly varied greatly as they realized what was happening to them. Some had pleaded. Other human beings had tried to reason and communicate. Some had still snarled and displayed anger, even with the broken bones and lacerations that they had sustained in combat. Almost all of them at one point had stated that they had a familial unit. The Predecessor felt a very slight disquiet growing inside of it. To a Lii'dra, all Lii'dran's were considered part of the collective. There was no concept of family, however these creatures . . . Perhaps it had merely spent too much time exploring the consciousness of the beings. It must be more methodical and logical. Sometimes hard decisions must be made. If the Lii'dra were to survive at the cost of the human beings, that was a price that the Predecessor was willing to make.

The cargo room was uncharacteristically empty, save for a few battery banks and terminals. Much had been needed to refit the Lii'dran troops with new equipment and restock the ranks. The Predecessor stood from where it had just sat on the floor of the Lii'dra's cargo storage area. A sliding door at the far end of the bay opened, and a Lii'dra trooper encased in carapace armor approached. Lii'dra did not need to be close to one another to speak, but it was considered a courtesy to allow one to at least be able to directly see who they were speaking to when conversing normally. The pair stood side by side as their invisible psionic tendrils intertwined and the exchange of information took place rapidly.

The trooper thought, "Mapping of neuron structure of terrestrial organisms completed. Transmission of encoded information from machine to organism successful. Compiling instruction sets and standardizing delivery mechanism."

"Acknowledgement. Prepare for new mission," replied the Predecessor.

Spoiler: Orders:

1. A stealthed Lii'dra scout will drop a three separate squads of four Lii'dra each into three different cities in Wyoming, hopefully right on top of their objective. Each squad will sneak into their city's mayoral home and reprogram them. This is meant to take a short time under the cover of night and should be done before sunrise as to make extraction simpler. Because the Lii'dra have the benefit of four man squads, one is tasked with caring for the reprogrammer and another will carry a tank of spare breathing gas in case there is some delay in the pickup. As a contingency plan, their suits onboard computers are programmed to detonate if they detect their occupant as unrevivably dead.

2. Three Lii'dra scouts and a fighter escort all with their stealth technology enabled, fly low along the numerous tall mountain ridges of the state of Vermont. They approach an electrical power plant and activate their ECM modules and signal jammers. Intending to work quickly, they drop thirty five Lii'dran troopers to completely overwhelm the building and use numbers to more rapidly round up and capture any staff. Once done, the scouts are to consume the entire electrical plant.

3. A lone fighter weaves its way out towards Louisiana. It should begin to purposefully strafe a small town and then start a small forest fire. It will weave around in the night sky, intentionally allowing the Earthlings to pick up its signature. The fighter will then power up its improved engines and proceed East for a time before reactivating its stealth features and returning to the station before any scrambled interceptors can approach. In short, the fighter is meant to cause a massive distraction in order to make the work of the two main teams easier.

Karcen :

Leaving a group of scarabs alone in the antarctic and withdrawing their main force presented itself as a prize opportunity for the humans.

Drawn by the signatures of the necron departure, high-altitude bombers were dispatched to the area completely demolishing the Necron tunnel and severely damaging if not outright destroying the scarabs that remained. With nothing to put up resistance the swift strike from south africa demolished the scarabs and left them vulnerable to a infantry insertion that would recover REAL ALIEN TECH for study by the humans.

Three research stations, one in Russia, one in China, and one in the US now had pieces of the strangely regenerating and undying necron tech -- and they would use what they learned to fight the aliens elsewhere.

In the meantime, the remainder of the necrons swiftly arrived on Olympus Mons, Mars and began setting up their resource extraction...

ALERT: Real alien tech of wide applications obtained by human resistance forces. expect innovations to special defense units!

 

[Beckoncall]

Triaxa notes that they’re growing afraid. Ah, not much else could have been expected. She is more powerful than them. But how to change that? Perhaps she should just spend some time with them, outside of her pyramid. She will teach them of how she is enlightening them, making them stronger and more intelligent as a gift. Meanwhile, she’s going to use the clones as new hosts, and send them out as scouts.

Clone Scouts move out around the compound found additional reserves of water and biomass which could be utilized -- local nomads and their camels, who seemed friendly enough -- though curious about the new pyramid structure in the desert.

Aside from the nomads and their animals, precious little in the way of resources could be found locally.

As far as energy -- the pounding sun suggested that energy could easily be captured with hyper-advanced solar tech.

The Nomads confided that government personnel would be travelling through this part of the desert shortly -- in a week or so, some part of disturbances other places far away but this region was to quickly be patrolled and cleared. This presented itself as a potential threat to the peace and progress of Triaxa's commune...

Triaxa showed her gentle and awesome power to her followers, and assuages their concerns... somewhat. There is concern that some within the fold may turn against her or try to flee... just a handful, but a few bad apples can spoil the bunch. Triaxa may have to be clever to root out dissent in her holdfast!

 

[Beckoncall]

Thorn_Reaper :

The changelings continued their infiltration with one successfully rising through the ranks of the Russian infantry structure. The two other changelings Were so far able to infiltrate the russian air forces, in close adjacency to Aerospace but not reaching those targets in a timely fashion.

Watching the movements of enemy squadrons and their need to routinely refuel, the zerg managed to land at the wildlife preserve free of menacing interceptors and enough time to proceed with their mission before they returned.

By the time the Mutalisks had to take to high air to fight the sky-based interdiction, they were stuffed with animal biomass as were the zerglings who quickly gorged the overlord before gathering more meat of their own.

The wildlife workers were dead. The animals of the refuge were dead, and the spines of the zerg were eaten and genetically reclaimed.

The overlord, now filled with Zerg and 80 Biomass exited the atmosphere, but the mutalisks had to remain on rearguard to make sure the overlord could escape.

In the first pass the mutalisks killed three interceptors and a rain of missiles blasted one of the mutilisks horribly sending it flying for the atmosphere.'

With only four interceptors remaining, the mutalisks slew the pilots with glaive wurms and slapped the craft out of the air before following the overlord. The crippled mutalisk, horribly wounded in the battle, died in air and was subsequently exploded to prevent analysis. (1 mutalisk lost!)

Under Iradae fighter cover -- the zerg could operate with complete impunity -- interceptors fired missiles from maximum range, utterly innefectual against Iradae shield technology. To close for dogfighting simply guaranteed the swift death of any interceptors who faced the Iradae's air supremacy. Pat

With such spectacular air cover, the zerg razes two settlements down to the ground and rakes in an additional 60 Biomass.

With ground cavalry closing in fast, the operation is concluded and all alien forces retired to the safety of the out of atmosphere.

It was a grand day for the zerg... but as they gained altitude they intercepted many transmissions indicating UN and local ground forces were scrambling worldwide. The time of catching humans on their heels might rapidly be ending...

 

[Beckoncall]

THE MOTHER BRAIN REACTS:

The Necrons had made a fatal error in allowing their technology to fall into the hands of the humans as they fully withdrew their forces from the conflict.

The Mother brain deactivates the necron force and collects it for resources.

 

[Eliasdagood]

… Well, That isn’t good. Ah, well, she’ll just have to claim the humans now. No need to splice cat genes into them this time. In fact, better not. She’ll herd them into the pyramid with her soldiers, making sure every one is accounted for. Say it is for meditation, enlightenment, then lock them in. That’s what the chosen usually say, isn’t it? It seems to work.

And if those nomads are so curious… well, why not invite them as well? Obviously she can’t use her feline soldiers for that, but her clones should work well enough if they decide to resist. Then said clones will stay above. Triaxa will claim the body of the leader to go with them, and pretend that nothing is wrong.

 

[Heyitsjiwon]

The First Order received the blueprints to install bomb bays to ships and received specialist support to learn more about xenopsychology. A meager reward for destroying the human's space station. Regardless, the First Order did not suffer much casualties and things could easily have been much worse. Perhaps it was the small blessings in life. After all, none of the Templars had been injured or worse. However, it became clear that overt actions would no longer be safe. They would have to be discreet and quick, which would thankfully be easier with the ship cloaking and the improved engines. With pre-established operations on Earth, the plan would be to rely on those and have the Templars and Fighters remain on reserve as a quick reaction force in case something happened. Thus, the orders were simple.

Orders:

1. The Linguistics and Hacking Drone continue to infiltrate the communications satellite

2. The Propaganda Drone begins to infuse syncretic beliefs of mainstream Earth religions such as Buddhism and Abrahamic religions in his sermons to make the cult more acceptable and more of a mainstream religious group/popular

3. The Amazon harvesting operation is to relocate to a new area and continue harvesting

4. Research Brainwashing 10 E 10 B

5. Brainwash/Train the captured scientists from the raided Arctic Science Outpost to believe in the Enlightened One and see if they know anything about the secret military organization that the humans are organizing.

1. The Mayors and their staff have been moved due to planetary alert to a secure location -- Instead of a covert dawn raid, each squad is confronted by Federal defense units. Group one is pushed into a brutal stalemate, where attrition to human forces is being overcome by local police forces. Withdrawing to a wooded area, the Lii'dra murder viciously anyone approaching their position.

group two is equally ground to a halt, but this time after taking the mayoral building and downloading encrypted information on where governmental officials are being moved.

Third squad terminates all of extant federal forces as resistance is expected at this time, and immediately retrieved back to the scout with 30 Biomass.

The squads are extracted before heavy military vehicles or aircraft of any real speed can arrive, but the mission is deemed a failure.

2. The second plan encounters much more success. The panicked crew for the dam immediately flee the area, save 20 biomass worth of engineers captured on the lower levels. With three scouts to do the task, the entire power plant is ravaged and stolen -- yielding from multiple passes 100 R and 200 E. Vermont is plunged into darkness, spreading terror state and country-wide. Mother brain is pleased, granting the Lii'Dra a choice of technologies: Death Spores, Neutron weapons, or "hard beams" -- energy to matter rays that penetrate cover when the penetrating waves suddenly solidify into deadly lances of white-hot material.

3. Diversion successful. Positive modifier applied to previous operations.

Everyone is rounded up and marched into "the temple of the goddess" where their minds are subsequently "proven" to be of undeniable loyalty. A couple of cultists attempt to flee the compound, but they are caught and turned also into the faithful.

The Nomads are great ones for offerings of hospitality, so they too with their herds of camels are brought into the pyramid and converted to the one true faith.

Triaxa now has close to 300 followers, a mob of feline warrior assassins, veteran desert fighters (nomads), and slavishly loyal mind-warped cultists. It may be time to even further expand...

Added to menagerie: Camel. 100 Biomass.

 

[Beckoncall]

ALERT:

The mother brain stirs and proclaims it is time for the invasion to escalate.

For larger weapons, creatures, and ships to be unlocked, mother brain requires 300 biomass, 300 Resource, 300 Energy.

The providers of which shall be rewarded with favor and advanced tech re-awakened with the materials. This is an important directive!!!

 

[Eliasdagood]

Triaxa is exceptionally pleased. But now is the time to begin her work in earnest. The humans are thoroughly subjugated. They will live in her pyramid, and she will recycle their base for all it is worth. She will learn all that she can about what resources lay within her reach, and could be taken by her human children. And cloning pods will be constructed within the pyramid itself, as well as a power generator.

 

[General Deth Glitch]

Maeder saw the hostile aircraft through the seeing stones. They were coming to take his hard won prize and that would not do! He ran to the prayer Crystal, a Crystal that allowed him to communicate with the Sleeper Ship and also let the Motherbrain hear him, so he could pray to his god. "Bringers of light! Hear me! We must secure this bounty for Dracos, the Motherbrain as you call her, and I require your help!" He called and heard a reply from the Iradae saying they would help by removing their attackers for five units of Biomass or raw resources. He immediately responded by accepting the deal "Hail Dracos, She will reward you for helping her gain these resources!" and then continued to gather his haul. His intention was to begin dumping them in a High-Earth Orbit so that the trips could be repeated quicker. He would also take the last haul all the way before going to collect the rest from orbit with the help of the transport ship.

As the Plan began both Factions were operating under the assumption that both would withdraw once the threat posed by the Interceptors was too great. Maeder knew he would be back. Maeder would not forget this, he would adapt to their technology and defeat them. A light must be shone on this world.

 

[mausedpotatos]

There was quiet in the cargo bay as the Predecessor unblinkingly looked out across the assembled ranks. There were currently eighty of the grey humanoids present and standing clad in their armor. They appeared almost as clones, which in the most frank of considerations they technically were. The Predecessor reached out with its mind to address its kin.

"Lii'dra. Current estimate for mission qualification is eighty one percent. Chemical warfare effective measure against weak respiratory systems of human organisms. Current objective is to release spore payload into local military bases of North American state, moniker of location assigned Vermont. Three pods of gas dedicated to disabling military targets. One pod destined for population center. Current estimate is widespread abandonment of population center following loss of power flow from energy generation facility. Gassing of enemy military targets is important step. Disrupting enemy ability to send out aircraft and soldiers required. Scout craft will gather materials from city, fighters will defend local airspace. Overall objective, gather sufficient resources to meet Mother Brain requirement to receive reward."

"Mission assessment yields following data. Loss of power precedes loss of civil order and mass panic within mission zone. Lack of utilities and communications assumed to increase disorder and disunity, especially against authorities. Secondarily, mission assessment includes assumption that loss of power to mission zone has severely hindered advance detection capabilities of human organisms." The Predecessor ceased speaking, and raised a gauntlet towards the numerous vessels in the hanger. The vessels had been freshly cleaned and repaired. The damaged fighter was once again operational, bringing the total number of operational fighters to eight. New shield generators had been installed on the fighters as well.

The Lii'dra got into their various scout and fighter craft. Seventeen total craft took off from the hanger and jetted off into the void of space, down towards Earth. The Predecessor felt itself grow rigid in slight anticipation. Feelings were dull and distant to a Lii'dra, but still present. The Predecessor took a moment to regulate its heartbeat and soon felt its homeostatic balance fall back into normalcy. A logical calm fell over it. The missions before had not been of this scale. Much was riding on the current missions success. They could not fail now.

Spoiler: Orders:

1. The Lii'dra remain stealthed as they approach and while dropping gas, until they begin to strafe the city.

2. Three gas pods are dropped from stealthed vessels, high above Vermont towards three military installations. They are dropped according to wind patterns and at the same time, so that even if the pods are detected by an automated defense cannon the wind would still carry much of the payload down onto the base and surrounding area. The Lii'dra had selected the city of Rutland for their resource harvest. It was hoped that the loss of power to much of the state had preceded the loss of civil order, and thus would hinder law enforcement and military response. A fourth gas pod of death spores are dropped directly into the city. Should a base be abandoned due to the loss of power all over the state, the gas pods for the respective base are saved instead.

3. Fighters join the the nine scout craft to strafe the city, as well as to deal with any unforeseen defense emplacements. Even if the city poses no direct threat, the city contains infrastructure and buildings that can be taken as cheap resources and energy. The scout craft drop 70 Lii'dra troopers into the streets below after ceasing their air strafing. They are not to clear the entire city, but just grab as much biomass as possible. The troopers are, unlike previous missions, instructed to unleash their full arsenal against any humans they encounter to save time.

4. The fighters patrol the airspace after their strafing is completed and deal with any interceptors.

5. One fighter in particular is given a special order. It is calculated that the Earth Government may decided to attempt to strike using a long range missile as a last resort while the Lii'dra carry out their mission. The fighter is tasked to scan for enemy long range bombers and missiles far, far above the battle so that the other fighters can be alerted and the target can be destroyed before it can do any damage.

Important notes:
+ The Lii'dra now have class 10 shields.
+ There are 8 fighters and 9 scout ships.

Zerg
​

The Mother Brain had spoken. The rewards could be very useful for the Zerg, and with the recent additions on the Zerg army, it was time to make the 'humans', fear the swarm. Readying the swarm, they would strike at several locations at the same time, in order to gather Biomass and Resources for the Mother Brain, and the swarm itself. They would attack and kill everything, strip the attack zones from any resources, leave no traces of their presence, and return to the Sleeper Ship once they're done, or the mutalisks can't keep the interceptors at bay anymore.

Meanwhile, one of the changelings in the Russian Air forces would attempt to infiltrate the Russian Aerospace Forces, and one of the changelings would try to rise yet again in the Russian military... And attempt to find the locations of the nuclear submarines.

Orders:
-Sent two squads to two different locations.
The attack locations are: On the Kara sea, attacking any sea vessel that they can find.
And on the small town of Suvanto.

The first squad would be composed of four mutalisks and two overlords with a boarding party of three hydralisks and a nine zerglings. They would strip the ships of resources and biomass, and leave the empty vessel floating on the sea to intimidate Russia.

The second squad would be composed of three overlords and six mutalisks, with two dozen zerglings and nine hydralisks. They would raze the village and leave before the interceptors become a significant threat.

-Ordered one changeling to try to infiltrate the Russian Aerospace forces again, and another one to rise yet again in the ranks, and attempt to discern the location of the russian nuclear submarines.​

Heyitsjiwon :

Hacking drone efforts reach bedrock for terrestrial communications. There is almost nowhere in the datasphere that can be hidden from the First order.

with the rise of global panic, the propaganda drone is lost in a sea of other doomsday cults. Membership increases to over a thousand, spreading through four communities. Promises to become more virulent.

Amazon Harvesting operation is moved deeper into the jungle. Despite an uneventful encounter with a truly enormous anaconda, the operation yields 30 R and promises to yield more when the robot workers get into full swing.

Brainwashing of Scientists a complete success -- two of them are shortlisted for recruitment into the program, but their disappearance is listed as "suspicious" in the datasphere. They know little about the actual project, just that the sleeper ship was detected as an anomalous object as many as ten years ago and that the worst was being prepared for...
