Hahah. I think that's automatically produced because of civil unrest though
I thought it was from our Bust a few weeks ago after everyone loaded up on charity missions rather than civil unrest, but anyway, doesn't matter.
Bring them more food? Maybe do a few "Help our station" type missions.
Edit: Oh, an automatic message.
False alarm, they don't need our help...

Yeah I forget which articles are for which states, they've been broken in my home system and surrounds for quite a while
"Powellllll!!!"
A spokesman for the people said:
"We're sick and tired of Canonn members showing up, giving us this strange device which emits noises and telling us to hold it and let us know if anything bad happens! All my children are sick, I can't work, and all they do is show up every 12 hours with clipboards, stroke their beards and say 'hm, interesting'. I can't say much more, I have to rush home. My wife said our 16yr old son has just thrown up his organs in alphabetical order."

We really have to be careful. Civil uprising, the people think it's our fault, rumours of Canonn commanders defecting to other minor factions. Finally, I can bring out my guns and start the dictatorship I always wanted... ehm I mean, calm everyone down.
About Halsey: For humanity she would be the better president. Less warmonger and in foresight of a possible upcoming invasion, we might need to cooperate with the feds. Damn ... we are even fighting the same terrorists together right now. What a strange universe.

BTW, as the Horizons will soon be released, I'm interested in testing a few things:
1) What will happen if your ship will be destroyed while you're on the ground? (If you don't send it to orbit)
2) Same as above but with UA in hold.
3) Ships now have an autopilot. Can UA take control of the ship? (You are playing with UA in sand, and BAM! Your Anaconda is now hostile to you! But you still haven't bought any weapons, fortunately.)

LMFAO...... Virtual rep + 10 million !!! LOL
Ok, who's been bringing UA's into Thompson in their holds? I just popped into my computer room adjacent to my lab to make some adjustments to my newly invented Debbie Printer (no need to cover this one up - I mind wiped those pesky journalists, and no-one sane reads the Varati Star anyway), and found this..
Actually, it seems there's no need to worry about Thargoids - her name is Klaaa'tha N'gunduuu Clii F'narr and she's quite lovely. We just had a nice talk over a cup of tea about life, the universe and everything. Turns out all they want is a supply of maggots. They're willing to trade Palladium for it for 1cr per ton. Useless to them, see. Just shiny, nothing more, and they have loads. Klaaa'tha N'gunduuu Clii F'narr (I call her Sarah for short) also tells me the UA's are just their maggot detectors. Mystery solved. We can forget it now, and pour the budgets into Adrenal Sciences instead.
Actually, before we divert all budgets to Adrenal Sciences, we're going to have a good old blow out on this:

I've read through FFE journals and other sources after our talk. Have to agree - there aren't any direct clues that suggest some sort of genocide of Thargoids by this ''virulent infective agent''. Though it mentions in nearby articles another novel virus designed by imperial navy to selectively kill beings who are above certain percentage of artificial (plastic?) organs and extensions - basically all androids and people with advanced prosthetics/enhancements. How many inhabited frontier worlds were completely obliterated with it by Empire we can only guess.
So in light of such atrocities to our own people, I don't think INRA would bother themselves to test if this mycoid would only target Thargoid hyperdrives - my best bet would be that they tested if the virus/fungus killed their drives and then somehow would transfer to their other ships - I guess Thargoids themselves should be the carriers - otherwise I don't see how it could spread to whole fleet/colony.
Doesn't matter if in current universe we provided them with cure or not. If Thargoids were the carriers - then we don't know how they were affected by this mycoid. They could have changed very drastically.
UPD: it was even worse actually - the virus was designed to cleanse all biological life, but leaving expensive androids and other equipment intact. The opposite of what I wrote above

There another probable clue I've found in FFE journals - here's a quote from there:
Fortress Culloden should look weird - ''The design of the building has been put out to tender and Architects from across the Universe are invited to submit designs within the next two months.''
UPD: it's an earth-like world, so no landings there yet. Crap, it would've been so nice
So, please, bring unknown artifact to Alioth, Argent's Claim (it's the moon) and try to find Fortress Culloden there - maybe something would click

Yes. It says quite clearly that the INRA squadron lead by Commander J. Saunders bombed the Thargoid planets (forward bases) with Mycoid, disabeling their drives.
If you want to go even deeper in the development of Mycoid, I recomend reading 'Inevitable Consequences' by Moira Sheehan: http://www.dream-ware.co.uk/first-e...life-on-the-frontier/inevitable-consequences/
In there you will find that the Mycoid actually had a virus component as a safety, but this was removed.
From an FFE perspective I think that the 'MYCOID ON MOON' and 'KILLER IN YOUR PLASTIC!' articles talk about mutatedd INRA Mycoid that has escaped. The problem is that I don't think these articles were ever published in-game (in FFE). The Journals are extracted from the FFE code. Not all of it was used.
When I mentioned atrocities by Empire - I meant these two articles (not those you mentioned):
