Greetings puppet masters of digital pilots forced to do your will in another reality. It's time to check out the news from this week's GalNet!
RACKHAM REVEALS PRESIDENTIAL MANIFESTO - 27 February 3309
Good news, folks! Once again, one of the ultra rich has decided to get involved in something super important that they do not understand! Yay! Trillionaire 'what do you even do with that amount of money' entrepreneur Zachary Rackham has put forward a bid to be the next Federation President. His policies of 'look at me I have money' have been a real winner with the terminally thick and many popular celebrities have started promoting his slogan 'just like me' which really ranks up there with the "I had 20 minutes to come up with something" of political slogans. Meanwhile Shadow president Winters plans to represent the Liberal party and President 'doesn't he look a bit like that guy from Terminator 2' Hudson is pushing through a bill that will let him continue on for another 8 year term. Mega rich celebrities getting involved in political things has never gone badly before, so this should be a great time for the Federation!
CAUSTIC SINK LAUNCHER AIDS MAELSTROM EXPLORATION - 2 March 3309
To reduce the amount of vacuuming needed to recover liquified pilots, Aegis has helped develop a Caustic Sink Launcher module that will protect those venturing into the Thargoid Maelstroms. These are available to pilots who delivered the most supplies from the Orunmilla in the Duamta system. Once equipped, pilots can look forward to really testing how close they can get to certain death now that they can go deeper into the corrosive doom clouds than ever before. Of course, none of this helps against the energy surges the Maelstroms use to stop people getting too close but the reduced threat of death does mean it's now appropriate again to stick your hands in the air and shout "Wheee!!" when it happens.
EXPLORERS NEEDED FOR AMMONIA WORLD SURVEY - 2 March 3309
Having grown weary of trying to identify where Thargoids might attack via the use of bargain bin Tarot cards, Aegis asked Universal Cartographics to encourage pilots to share exploration data on Ammonia worlds. Thargoids are known for lurking around areas rich in the vile smelling stuff, so Aegis is arguing that knowing where those worlds are might help figure out where the Thargoids will start preparing their next attacks. If the initiative is successful, the general cartographic data payouts will be multiplied for a period of time.
That's it for this week! We'll be back next week when you've had time to consider that if you are controlling your pilot, then who is controlling you?
