Greetings all,
Another week has flown by and us mere specks of cosmic dust, tricked into believing we have value in an endless cosmos, can once again look forward to some relaxation before the soulless march of conformity continues anew! It's time for an early edition of the GalNet news roundup!
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS TARGET FEDERAL VOTERS - 22 May 3309
As the universe burns under the fiery gaze of new and more formidable Thargoid death machines, the Federation has taken the time to focus on what's important. Who can shout the loudest about how the other person sucks. Yes, election time for the Federation grows ever closer and there's three faces vying to see who can say something hypocritical about the other people first. In the Republican corner we have Zachary_Hudson_V2.JPG Jerome Archer. A man focused on bringing that freshly grown military authoritarianism you have grown to love. In the Liberal corner Felicia Winters is here to suggest that maybe, just maybe, brute force and an iron fist aren't the best ways forward for keeping the Federation happy. And finally, swanning forth in boots made of solid gold on a red carpet of died platinum dusted with Dodo feathers it's uber rich independent candidate Zachary Rackham. The actual election will take place later in the year due to a slight delay caused by the potential extinction of the human race.
HEAD OF AEGIS MAKES PUBLIC ADDRESS - 23 May 3309
Professor Alba Tesreau, head of Aegis, sent a public message out to Independent Pilots, to discuss the issues of the past and to talk about Aegis plans for the future. With an alien invasion involving giant ships surrounded by disintegration jelly, the ones trying to clear it away with their space spoons are understandably under the spotlight a bit. Having previously been given the boot by the superpowers in favour of the company that tried to introduce the latest top of the line extinction event, Azimuth "We didn't mean to start Ragnarok" Biotech, Aegis are keen to get the message across that they really are the best hope for humanity. After celebrating the people who helped keep her employed, Tesreau talked a little bit about the new Thargoid variants and Aegis' plans to adapt the Xeno scanner to help gather more data. As the war continues to rampage on Aegis is now doubt going to have to keep justifying their importance and fend off any more attempts from Azimuth to try and get back in with the big kids after they spectacularly embarrassed themselves by almost getting all of humanity killed. Ha ha, what nerds.
MATERIALS NEEDED FOR TITAN RESEARCH PROJECT - 25 May 3309
The Thargoid capital ships, now lovingly referred to as 'Titans', continue to defy any attempts to gather data. All attempts to learn more about them have resulted in failed scans and the titans continuing to sit there in a way that doesn't implicitly look like they're mocking us but the disdain still feels real. In an attempt to overcome this barrier to progress, Aegis are looking to update the Xeno Scanner so we can look more closely at the titans and find their wifi password. Of course a major corporation with backing from the greatest powers in the galaxy can't possibly do this all by themselves. They have called for independent pilots to bring supplies to help them. Aegis will reward pilots who transport shipments of ceramic composites, polymers, gallium and indium to Muller Terminal in the Rabh system. These will be used to establish manufacturing centres for pulse wave xeno scanners, which will then be rapidly distributed to all rescue megaships. Of course supplies to help humanity stay alive will always be a target from individuals who lack the capacity to plan slightly ahead, so Aegis are also looking for pilots to help take down any pirates who are too stupid to realise that we might need this tech if we want to survive as a species a little bit longer.
That's it for this week! Enjoy another week of gliding carelessly through fragments of reality, blissfully unaware of the truth behind the façade!
