Allied State Secretary:
"Sir, we had reduced the missile production by 50%. Here are the reports:
We had confidence that this will solve our Tritanium shortage condition for the time, while still fulfill the mandated MIRV production.'
ADC Head:
"Acknowledge sir, since we had ratified the treaty the treaty now are in effect. So we cannot entered Venus Sphere without Reich permission and vice-versa. Regarding Titan and Mercury, we had send Ambassador Pickelsimer to inquire the Reich about their activity around Mercury and their intention regarding Saturn Systems."
Sol Inner Belt, 25 January 2004FOREIGN NEWS:
*An animation showing a simplified black eagle flying and land on a model of Earth Globe, the Eagle then change into the Reich Insignia and the globe into swastika surrounded by oak leaves, the Reichsadler with red background. A large text RID are diplayed below the Eagle, it was a television station owned by Reich Ministry of Pubic Enlightenment. The scene changed into a newscaster sitting in front of stylized Reich Territories. The newscaster are speaking in German.*
"This late evening, the survey team aboard the Scientific Vessel Zukunft had found the first confirmed asteroid trans-mineral deposit on asteroid designated: 30 Urania. This finding are the result of several months of carefully planning and weeks of surveying attempts. This recent finding opens new possibilities and act as one of humanity reasons to explore and expand the space beyond. Thus space become our new Lebensraum."
*the subsequent news show the asteroid 30 Urania from Zukunft visual camera who orbit about 30 km from Urania. Then the location of Urania in Solar Systems. the rest of the news are interviews with guest Astrogeologist and Trans-Earth Mining expert about feasibility of Asteroid Mining.*
ADC Head:
"Damn... The Reich didn't pass this for propaganda value. Since we don't know how much the 30 Urania deposit value is. We don't know how precious this asteroid is. BUT the Reich seems to lack transport capabilities to establish mining base currently, so we shouldn't get smitten by their propaganda. I'll ask the AFSIB to counter with more Mars propaganda... We just got an update from Ambassador Pickelsimer:
Regarding the Mercury, the Reich claimed that they didn't lay a hand on Mercury, their ships just happen to passes near it when conducting training maneuver. They didn't want to discuss about outer systems now since they didn't had any data about their conditions."
Thus several days passed without any notable incidents. Except Dr. Koch demand more Coffee shipping. working in Martian day of 24 hours 15 minutes examining geometric glyph on walls are very tiring while the Geologist team on Earth still busy looking deep Neutrino Scan looking for geologic anomaly...
Jupiter Systems, 30 January 2004 Allied State Secretary:
"Sir, the Inquirer just arrived arrived at Jupiter Systems. It now began scanning the Jupiter Upper Atmosphere for Sorium availability. We will hear the result in one week."
Mars Territories, 2 February 2004
ASA Head:"Sir, Captain Sarah George recently participated in ACFC Ship Operations Course and as the result her speed in conducting ship commands are increased. Her Fleet Initiative Rating assesment had increased to 157.
Mars Territories, 2 February 2004 ASA Head:"Sir, the 2nd Mars Engineer Brigade just landed on Mars. They join with the 1st Mars Engineer Brigade establishing scientific bases and infrastructure on Tyrrhenia Plains."
Saturn Systems, 3 February 2004
Allied State Secretary:
Sir, we just got report that a civilian company Chronos Mining Consortium or CMC just finished establishing a Mining Complexes on Titan. The Chronos had send their ships last year to Titan and just arrived recently after Inquirer leave Saturn Systems. The CMC Titan are staffed by more than 1000 people and 500 Security Officer from Neverwinter PMC. We can buy their mineral form CMC for $750M for a year, or we can leave the minerals for cviian sector and get $250M a year as tax. Here are our current wealth report:
As you can see we got $3,936M from income taxes and taxes on off-world shippings, while we spend $1,457.9M to pay civilian contractor and funding various construction project. We had a very hefty surplus. We had $8,2640.1M in reserve.
What should we do sir?"
(The ANEA, ANSEC and ANMoT had a say in this) ADC Head:
"The CMC also make our 'territorial claim' in Titan more easy since, we had civilians in there, and we must oblige to PROTECT them, if you know what I mean. Never underestimate the power of capitalism!!!"
ARLaN Chief:
"Sir, we just got report that Prof. Haufler got another insight in researching methods and the new methods make her more experienced and knowledge in researching. This make her research will finished more quickly."
MONTHY REPORT Allied State Secretary:
EARTH:The conversion had progress smoothly. But there are still lot more work to do.
LUNAR CITY:
The MTC had moved a lot of infrastructure and the 20.000 workers afilliated with Lunar Societies are assembling them as domed city on Shoemacker Crater that can support up to 280.000 residents.
MARS TERRITORIES:
The Mars Colonization are going well, 140.000 people are now living in Libertium and satellite villages on the northern coast of Hellas sea. But as you can see there are still 80.000 worker shortage for maintenance facilities to function properly.
I really surprised when the CMC suddenly pop-out in Titan. If we considering it takes at least 20-odd days to go to Titan, we can only assume the civies are leaving for Titan at most in December 2003 or Early January 2004.
So now what should we do with the CMC? Should we purchase from them or should we leave them?
Soory for the long update. My Internet service are down for three consecutive days.
