Thank you
2129 to Gaians.
================
"Brother, this is Intius reporting, from communications"
"Let him through"
"This is Intius, Brother, I do not have good news today"
"What happened?"
"I lost contact with eastern scouting unit. Their last communication was very similar to that we lost years ago. I think worms got them."
"Have you tried to reestablish communication?"
"I am doing it all the time"
"Please continue, I'll be there in a minute. Thank you for your report."
So it did happen again. Despite their new strategy of avoiding dangerous fungus. That was very unexpected.
"And we thought we were prepared"
================
They gathered around a bed in the Headquarters Hospital, on which was laying one of few survivors of horrible recent mindworm attack. A doctor allow them to speak to him. An man around 55 years old, one of the officers in the unit, born on Earth.
"Can you talk?"
"...."
"If you cannot talk, we can meet again later?"
"No...I can... talk"
"Where was the attack? Have you entered fungus area?"
"No, we didn't. Fungus was south... worms came... from plains"
"Do you know of any other suvivors?"
"No I was running till I faded. It was complete surprise"
The doctor approached.
"He is heavily drugged, please ask nothing that might make him nervous"
"I think that would be all for the time being".
Mindworms attack from area free of fungus. That becomes more dangerous. Certainly something must be done about it.

2129 to Lal
=========================================
To : CEO Jade Morgan, McMorgan resturaunts
From: Dewey, Cheatem, & Howe advertising agency(with apologies to Car Talk)
Reference : New advertising campain for grand opening in the Gaian colony.
It's not easy being Green. (catchy techno beat starts playing in background)
Tired of soy burgers? Salad got you down? Does tofu all taste the same? Try the newest sensation at Gaia's landing, McMorgan's. We serve the Morgan Burger, tasty beef combined with genuine cheesefood. A generous helping of Jade's special sauce will complete the culinary experience. Stop being Green, even if it's only for one meal! At McMorgan's.
Quick, rapid voiceover – techno beat slightly louder, words barely understandable (the Gaian physicians board has determined that the entire menu at McMorgan's is unhealthy, and will substantially impact your health and lifespan. Studies conducted by independent physicians have found inconclusive correlation, and state that in moderation eating at McMorgan's can be part of a daily heatlhy lifestyle. Consult your physician if you have underlying problems with heart disease or obesity)

Turn to Lal - someone did this in another game I'm playing, I don't know the etiquette but I received the notice that the Spartans SP - the Command Nexus is nearing a breakthrough.

2133 to Gaians
============
Peacekeeping Forces proudly announce loss of a third unit to native planet life 
============
What he was holding in his hands was a net made from sturdy wires equiped with several electrodes. For someone who would not know the purpose of this device it might take a while to guess it.
"So you put it on your head?"
"Yes, Brother. The power unit is here with backup. You wouldn't wanna loose it near worms... Would you like to try it?"
"No, not today." Brother Mart refused.
From descriptions of testing unit members 'trance helmet' required a lot of time to get used to. And controlling the trance was not an easy task. So this will save lives of his people exploring that unfriendly world. Recent reports counted already three mindworm boils near the bases. It's time to face the problem more firmly.

but don't forget about gameplay - we had a deal a few turns ago, now it has been delayed for 2 turns..
(I did delay the first turn, so I wouldn't have to pay extra for my next tech - but I still should have gotten it this turn). I promise I'll get it next time.
