'"Analysis Complete..." The first personnel to wake up from cryosleep had finally figured it out. One of their first tasks after checking to make sure everything was working okay was to see what had happened with the malfunctioned pods. "Sir, we believe we have found the reason why we got the error messages. As you know, cryosleep pods 'trick' the brain in a way, make it stop all functions for a while. Cells development are stopped with the sort of artificial ice, Pack-Gel that we use
in our Cryo-Pods. When they wake up, they will be fine. But their brains will remain
tricked..."' A mere snippet of what remained of the Unity's history still in the Creche, but the most important part. From the supply pods and the crashed colony ship they had figured out why they weren't developing, after 20 years of being on Chiron. The solution so far was implants into all citizens that allowed all functions not fully developed in their bodies to work. Finally enough people were populating the Creche to allow a new colony pod. The new base, "Design University"
would hopefully serve as a hub for research eventually.
"This, my loyal citizens is why I am forming the Industrial Branch of our government." This is what Ron's eyes fell on while he was rereading the speech he had delivered hours ago. Design University was a success, and labs there were greatly helping the Creche Union. Now that the Creche was going to have industry, it would provide more jobs and also allow them to produce more war supplies and luxuries. An immediate effect was the invention of a new type of metal made from materials native to Chiron. This was one of the few things that made Ron sure he really had established a lasting nation on Planet...
Though the last few years had been uneventful, their was one major breakthrough in the labs of the Creche. The "Terra-forming Module" design had successfully been implemented on to a vehicle, and these new "Formers" were being sent to destroy
the pink fungus that apparently was where the Sand-colored Mindworms came from.
Fawai Software had been founded. It seemed nothing was getting done in the Creche, as all resources were going to 2 major developments dubbed "The Weather Paradigm" and "The Merchant Exchange". He cut off the Exchange, and had them build a new colony pod. That colony pod was now the Fawai Software. Efforts there were now directed towards a Comm Center to manage military activities, primarily how to deal with the native life.
He also took a quick look at the research status.
11 - The new Information Networks technology developed by the Creche was very similar to the "Internet" of Earth. This made Ron waste the better part of an hour remembering his former home...
The majority of the Creche was now born and raised on Chiron. The Command Center had been built at long last. But Ron realized one thing was missing in his small nation. A different race, something to inspire his citizens to go forward and do something first.
An expedition had to be made he had decided. He had to find others. After sitting in thought quietly, a rarity for him, he checked the current status of The Creche.
I don't have any backround to go with some of these, so here are a few screenshots I took that I'm not really sure what to do with besides put them numerically. If you ever see more than one picture, that's probably what it means.
The terraforming had to be completed. Hundreds of children were dieing to the Mindworms, and they won almost every time... A mass-purge of Xenofungus and Mindworms had to be commenced, or the Creche risked destruction at the hands of Chiron.
A radio wave was just barely received by Creche radio-operators. A females voice announcing the completion of "The Human Geonome" was heard. But she sounded... Robotic. Either way, this ensured someone else had escaped the Unity. And the Creche was going to find them. The removal of Xenofungus was also going nicely.
A large crater was found, dubbed "The Garland Crater" by creche explorers.
In it a strange alien machine was found. Dubbed "Battle Ogre" by Ron, it appeared very intimidating. Also very similar to the picture from the deceased Unity Foil from the times near Planetfall. Perhaps it would be useful for policing if a riot ever started.
Remains of the Unity were still a fairly common sight, and a Rover from it was found.
Another radio wave. A project very similar to a concept by the Creche this time.
Ron was very displeased with the slow, slow development of sea vessels. But he was pleased the discovery of more Unity ships. Although slow and unwieldy, according to the captain of the ship, it would serve it's purpose to find other Humans nicely.
Here is a current powergraph:
When attempting to open a Unity supply pod, an earthquake was released because of a malfunction. Ron was looking at the fairly recently acquired data on Social Psych. This was providing valuable data on handling the populace. He had decided to do nothing on the issue of lack of development for all citizens. He had formed the nation with children, and he would keep it that way. He would change the human view of youth in the process, and that was something he knew he could do.
Some SP data.
At long last, after more than 100 years of being stuck on planet alone, we have a chance of finding others! Doctrine: Flexibility had been researched and the foil design was already in place. Boats would begin to be produced at the first possible oppurtunity. Ron was elated!
"Well, they certainly have built themselves a respectable empire. It is decided then, we will include them
in the election for Planetary Governor." Ron realized that he had been watched this whole time by all other nations of Chiron. For 200 years they had been little more than test subjects in the eyes of Humanity. But now as they elected the governor of Chiron, they included the Creche. It seemed they were beginning to respect the Unionists. And Lal had given them 150 energy credits to vote for him. The Creche accepted, Ron knowing he would rather have Lal as governor than the Mars Alien who had only been accepted into the council due to threats. He now had the commlink frequencies for all other factions. Lal had won the vote.
