PLAH report, 2116

After spending all the energy credits of the nation, Hive scientists finally produced positive result. The ASD was determined to be a prototype of an Anti-Schedule-Disruptor. Although it was not without shortcomings, the use of it had proved to be beneficial. Order has been restored with small irregularity remaining. Chairman HongHu ordered the next step should be the production of teraforming machinary in order to improve the surrounding area of all bases.

Rubinic Report, M.Y. 2116:
People say that money can't by you happiness. I couldn't disagree more. Money is the only means to true satisfaction - true happiness. It is human nature to trade and interact; whether this is goods, information, love or compassion. Putting these aspects into an economic calculus may seem awkward to some --- it is simply a matter of a different approach - different taste. But I assure you, this is ultimately the best and most rewarding approach.

"We are not alone. I repeat, we are not alone!

In other news, a strange new creature was discovered in one of the pods. Two swarms of wormlike creatures were discovered. Findings deemed to be of low importance compared to other news."

The first worms you encounter are weaker, in addition to the 2115 thing, right? Otherwise I'll lose my lead pretty much guaranteed. Two scouts and a pod are my estimated losses.

Rubinic Report, M.Y. 2119:
The GPE phase 1 has been slightly delayed due to dangerous terrain. The information from the GPE-1 has drastically changed the Rubinic production and research priorities. This looks to be a race against time itself. By early/mid 2120's the Rubinites should have a complete implementation of the 3rd(!) set of new strategies. Meanwhile, analysts are procuring data for the 2nd Decade Report.

[The CEO isn't releasing exploration data to the public? Why not? Aren't his taxpayers paying for the research? Why conduct the exploration, if not for the benefit of the public? The CEO sounds more like "The Despot" to me.]

PLAH report 2121

The highly awaited first unit of terrain reforming former are delayed due to burocracy. The treasury department mistakenly issued fewer energy credits required by the rush building of the former. The publicly issued explanation by the commissionar of treasury stated that due to the depletion of gross energy credit reserve all public funding were cut in half. There were increasing public outcry of reducing expenses for military support.

Underground Strategic Command Complex (USCC), Colony Headquarters, 60 meters below planet surface, Communications Protocol:
- Technician: Sir, we've picked up some kind of... eh... signal*. We are not able to locate the source, and... it seems to be just garbled static noise. Strange?!? Very strange...

[*Meta-Transmission-Transcript (decoded): I fully understand the CEO's decision. I his situation information is both a blessing and a curse. While the public is indeed entitled to knowing what's going on, a very fragile society should not be presented with any unnecessary 'critical' information. If the citizens knew that they were entrapped by xenofungus or dangerously close to a volcano or hostile faction etc., unrest may force all bases into a crippeling chaos. Secrecy like this is of course only a short term solution. Once a firm infrastructure is set up public unrest shouldn't pose a serious threat (-- it might even be beneficial). Meanwhile, the CEO is taking very good care of his 'employees'; providing them with a living far beyond that of simple survival. A single absolute ruler is not necessarily a despot!]
