Seismic Observations, M.Y. 2123
Scout Patrol unit #RU-RR2 has reported significant seismic activity in sector E8+ (exact coordinates [60,48]). While an extra reconnaissance team has been dispatched rumours say that Chrion itself is disturbed by its human incursors. Doctor Rubin has officially declared such speculations nonsense and has issued a herecy-warning to anyone who speculates in non-scientific, illogical and irrational phenomena. "This", Doctor Rubin said, "was the main reason for the total destruction of our former home, planet Earth." As a direct result University scientists have initiated plans for unveiling the secrets of the human brain--a project vital to human survival on Chiron--or any other habitable planet.

"What the hell do you mean a new mountain has risen from the ocean? Where? How?" Sankis shouted.
"I mean...a mountain has risen from the ocean. We recieved a report from one ofour scouts on the Atlantean border earlier today. He stated that at the coordinates [60,48] a large landmass suddenly appeared on his sensors as he started to head south." Said the Nautilus Second in command.
"Could it be a the sensors? We are using fairly new technology, there could be bugs in the system." Sankis stated.
"Uh...no sir. He also stated that he immediately headed back north after noticing it. He saw it with his own two eyes." Cecil replied.
Sankis leaned back into his chair. So much has been happening these last 24 years. From border disputes, Creatures in the sea that attack with their minds now with the threat of war against Yang and his "hive".
"How are our colonization efforts?" Sankis inquired.
"They are proceeding well. Our latest pod has left Port Royale not long ago, headed for the Nautilus Kelp Fields."
"Good, good...What about the construction of our Gunships?"
"They should be completed within the next two years."
"And our Laser Infantry?"
"They should be ready in 2 years as well."
"Good everything is progressing well...You are dismissed"
With that, Cecil nodded and left the Captain's chambers.

Oh, for future reference:
How does probing work in PBEMs? I know its bugged, and that the failure message doesn't go to the victim.
Theres 3(?) different types of outcomes with probes:
Success, Escaped
Success, Killed
Failure, Killed
I'm assuming that unless I get the "Success, Escaped" outcome I have to inform the person I tried to probe that I tried to do whatever to them and failed or am I totally off?
thanks.

 Turn played, and on to Rubin
I've done it!!!
**************************************************
MY 2125, science report
The Atlantean council listened to the report of the scientific board representative.
"Yes, councelors." The scientist said "This is a very important breakthrough."
"The information gathered onboard Unity during the stressfull hours before Planetfall allowed us to investigate and correlate throughly how people interact in dire circumstances."
"Might be, doctor" the military councelor interrupted, "But I fail to see how circumstances in space apply to events here on Chiron."
"Those are two completely different things in my humble opinion."
"But that's just the beauty of it, commander" the scientist continued, "It is how humans themself react on and in a hostile environment."
"And don't be mistaken, Chiron is still a hostile environment to us, not to mention our habit of living undersea."
"Our research showed us a way to minimize the psychic effects Chiron's native life has on us."
"Disciplined people willing to learn this hypnotic ability will have a very good chance of withstanding those kind of assaults." the scientist finished.
"Well doctor, this is great news indeed." Geo added. "If I understand you correctly, we have mustered the very secrets of our brains?!"

Lucky. I've been too busy researching other more..."combat oriented" skills to worry about human brain.

Conversation Piece, M.Y. 2125
- I guess this is good news, then?
- Of course it is, Nataliya. We have, although vaguely, a general understanding of our human company here.
- ...but we've only just made contact, Doctor?
- Contact, yes. But consider the circumstances. Could it be mere coincidence that contact was to be established in that region? I think not. The seismic activity clearly directed the attention of scout units--not only did we dispatch an investigation team--so did the other leaders.
- So, you are implying that the factional interest in this region is suggesting that others are keen on exploring the planet surface and pursuing new scientific discoveries? That our agenda reflects the general interest?
- Indeed, Nataliya! The seismic activity is interesting in itself and there is a possibility that we are not the only ones to acknowledge this.
- ...
- Yes, I know what you are thinking--and that is also true. The fact that most human endeavors suffer from lack of commitment once the novelty and initial interest become instances of the past. Well, we'll need to monitor the situation closely then.

I didn't see anything in the rules about it...
I'm interested to know this too, as this is my first PBEM...
Either way I'll start announcing them in my updates.
(By the way, i'm at school right now. Can't get to the turn until 3 pm EST (~5 hours))

Turn done, passed to Angels
Mail sent to all members of the game regarding the planetary council I started up. (accidently, but oh well. Might as well.)
==============================================
"Greetings, Citizens of Planet. It has been a long 28 years on Chiron. From worms that attack with their minds, to mountains rising from the ocean.
Today, I bring both good and bad news. The first elections in the history of Chiron have been iniated. (OOC: Check your email for further details).
However, there is more ominous news.
Another mountain has risen from the ocean! Dubbed 'Mount Verde' by Nautilus scientists due to the nutrients located on the peak, it is located at coordinates 15, 35 in Nautilus Territory by the (former) sea colony of Crow's Nest. Scouting parties will be permitted to view the mountain and study it if you inform Nautilus Authorities ahead of time.
Captain Sankis out."

Planetary Council already enabled in 2128, this game is really interesting. These two new mountains will probably not change the terrain a lot. Anyway I think you will at some point use ecological engineering as "silent weapon".
Rubin, thank you for the last turn you sent me.

It's more of my playing skill probably than the map.
