Don't worry about it, these things happen every now and then, playing SMAC MP requires a great assumption of trust anyway.

[Misotu]

   It was still dumb.   Anyway, in other news ...

Peacekeeper scientists welcomed reports that the fabled "monolith" has finally been located, though admittedly not within a base radius. They won't get to see it for a while - the area has been "secured" by our military and access is currently restricted.

[Kirov]

Hm, seems I was more lucky with supply pods. Or was it Providence? Anyway, our first tech has finally arrived, much to everyone's awe. Did you see that Zak finished his after 2 years?! If he hadn't violated every possible ethical principle on the way, I'm the Cinderella.

[Misotu]

Put it this way: the chirpy young attache who suggested that "we can never have too much survey data" has been shipped out to study the fungus. Permanently.

I did see Zak's result. There is something sinister behind that ... our investigators are looking into it. They've called it "Project Mart". Goodness only knows why.

[Kirov]

Now that's ominous. We need to get to the bottom of this. But it's very hard to make a canoe out of fungus, I need to wait for better materials.

[Misotu]

It's very quiet over here. We usually expect to see the Spartans arrive with a battle ogre by now ...

[Kirov]

Somehow I still can't see the powergraph so i don't even know who the others are. But don't worry, one way or another, they'll find their way to the Lord.

[Misotu]

I bet they can't wait. To find their way to Lord, I mean. I know we're looking forward to it. Although we need a bit more time to make confession and mend our evil ways of course. Probably a couple of hundred years should do the trick.

[Kirov]

Now, somebody racked up her sin count! Fortunately for you, our exorcists boast a success ratio of 100%, although not everyone made it.

In other news, Zak discovered the Secrets of the Human Brain, so you'll probably want to dust off that tin foil hat.

[Misotu]

What I want to know is where he gets those human brains.    The hat is a good idea. It won't look very fetching, but needs must.

[Kirov]

Well, that's a casus belli if I've ever had one. I think we've got a winner for the first exorcism on the Planet.

[Misotu]

As long as it's not me I don't really .... ahem. Hem hem.  A good plan Brother. But I wonder whether perhaps diplomatic pressure and, if absolutely necessary, a multinational peacekeeping operation might be more the thing that's required here?

[Kirov]

Well, there's a high chance that we're now working on the boats. We'll soon find out what our Zak is up to, although I doubt he'll cooperate.

[Misotu]

Our researchers' "high chance" of working on anything always turns out to have been working on something else entirely, generally something considerably less useful. Just sayin'.

[Kirov]

I don't think there's any other 'Explore' option for me to draw.
