Episode 26 is up, along with some data on Planet (named Chiron) and the Alpha Centauri system at the end of it. Enjoy!
Eventually the other forums will make it over here, including the Chronicles, etc.
Enjoy!

One of the best episodes of them all!! Thanks
Firaxis.
The reason I think the episode is so good is because of the dialogue. We are really getting a better picture of the different factions and how they will interact on Planet. The dialogue between Skye and Morgan is great. Obviously, Skye is very biaised in her environmetal views. For her to breed new species of plants and put them on Planet is seen as good but everybody else is viewed as destroying the planet. She does not realize that she is exploiting the planet too, just a different way than Morgan or Santiago might.

The interaction between Skye and Morgan is good. I like the way the story is going and it can't be long before Garland reaps it. I'm already waiting for next week's episode...

I liked the interaction too ... I really didn't like the way they set up time on chiron ... If you're going to change time, do what we should have done and made metric time !!! With 100 seconds in an minute and 10 hours in a day etc !!! Otherwise it'll be the same waited data space compounded into billions of gigs of wasted hard drive (or whatever) space !!!

I'll add to check out the "Who has Brian Reynold's Chiron data" thread for the full info on AC, as the version on the site got cut off.

DJ, fond as I am of the metric system (I love multiples of 10, they're so easy to work with!) it really wouldn't work very well for time. It'd become a logistical nightmare to try and keep track of seasons, days, nights, etc... nature feels no need to conform to nice round numbers, regretably...

The story is fun to read. I like how the character development is developing.
