Results

Some more kelp and chemicals are produced. Work begins on the new research institution, while the old research institution produces some preliminary results for a method for using local fauna to serve as defenses against enemy units.

Rafael explores I15 and J11, finding, exactly as predicted, plentiful sources for chemicals. Dark pits himself against the whirlpools and emerges victorious, finding a crashed Gwyne ship tossed among the whirlpools but possibly salvageable.

Silentus goes to the emperor's party and has Adventures. Basingbloke does too, surprisingly enough.
