Research

  • The Hau Ndogg Community College astro-polo stadium (and secret underground advanced physics laboratory) (8) researches stuff:
    • Connections between dimensional activity and psychic phenomena. Base cost 1 (pure research), relevance 2 (based on our previous research into psychic phenomena and the recent wormhole phenomena) = 2 points. (2/2)
    • Wormhole Control II. (10/12)
  • The Boumfadour Institute for Ecology and Planetary Development (4) researches Environmental Defense II. (12/18)
  • The Boumfadour Institute for History and Archaeology (8) researches the perfect form of galactic government. (11/18)
  • The Tomorrow Institute of Lobbying, Marketing and Propaganda (3) begins working on the next edition of NEWS FROM THE WORMHOLE [Issue 2].
    • Base cost base cost 1 + 1 (widely applicable) + 1 (large scale) + 1 (long duration), relevance 3 (the previous edition 1, plus other texts we've written 2) = 12. (3/12)
  • Katlian College of Violent Arts and Sciences (8) researches stuff:
    • How can we combat the Child (if necessary)? (12/12)
    • NEWS FROM THE WORMHOLE [Issue 2], adding their usual column about how awesome our warships are. (5/12)
  • The Farlight Institute of Crystal Biotechnology (8) researches the Child:
    • How can we more easily find and secure the other Children? Base cost 4? (I don't know, but 4 sounds like a good number), relevance 2? (we've researched the Third Child for pure research and for how, if necessary, to combat it) = 8 points. (8/8)

Building

  • The Christopher Cavor Contraption Constructory upgrades the Energy Field Disruption Detector aboard the Allosaurus into a Dimensional Border Activity Detector.
  • The Christopher Cavor Contraption Constructory uses 1 unit of Subspace Plumbing Conduits to build a Teleporation Sending Station (the "Warp Zone").

  • The Seve Ballesteros Memorial Shipyard uses 2 units of HyperPaint to construct the Indomitable Inferno (a rank-2 military space unit) and the Ferocious Flame (a rank-2 military space unit).
  • The Seve Ballesteros Memorial Shipyard uses 2 units of Warp Manifolds to construct the Precise Pangolin (a rank-2 military space unit) and the Oneiric Ocelot (a rank-2 military space unit).

Landing

  • Ships get to places.
  • Vefna uses the Fairy Circle to teleport the Warp Zone to the Mirage on Arroyo.

Trading

  • Elvis' Hau Ndogg Region, Bloos Wade Region, Alshu Cup Region and Donbique Rule Region each consume 1/4 unit of Bachelor Chow. The Farlight Region and Community College Region each consume 1 unit of Food.
  • Vefna's Pleistocene Region, Siderian Region, Mesozoic Region and Tomorrow Region each consume 1 unit of Mammoth Byproducts.

Results

The much-belated turn 28 results! They're pretty normal.

Katlian College finishes its research into a military analysis of the Third Child, determining there are two possible courses for future research: the easier is some kind of dimensional bomb, which would weaken the cross-dimensional threshold enough to force it back into its own native dimension; the harder combines that bomb with some kind of containment device, which would essentially sever the connection between the Child and its native dimension and trap it at the same time. The Farlight Institute completes its work on how to create a detector for cross-dimensional beings, and sends its data to the Christopher Cavor Contraption Constructory for use in its modifications. The SAPL does some experimentation, having heard that psychic activity is related to dimensions, and comes up with a working theory: psychic powers allow action at a distance by very briefly "nudging" the dimensional barrier, which in turn creates ripples in this dimension, and it is the ripples themselves which cause the psychic action. This will no doubt be valuable when it comes into applying previous dimensional reseach to future psychic research.

On Boumfadour, Raphael Helsing finds two stashes of resources in the Ecology Region, two units of Kelp stuck on a reef formation, and a unit of Chemicals crystallized on the beach.

On Elvis, exploration similarly takes place in the Alshu Cup region. The StarLight Survey Squad has a bad run-in with some acidic swamp grass and ends up injured; and the Starfarer Super Sentai discover another vein of Metals beneath the marshy ground, taking two units of the resource as immediately usable.

On Arroyo, the Lollipop Guild discovers an outcrop of Oily Minerals among the arroyos, retrieving a unit of the resource.

Finally, on Vefna, various exploration takes place in the Postremocene region. In particular, the Lewison Clarks discover a crude hut in the ice forest in which are explorer's notes about the surrounding area, enabling them to also explore M9, O9, and N10; KANE discovers a small stash of Palace Stone buried in a snowfield (salvaging one unit of the resource); and Kyil takes some holovid footage that is perfect for the next issue of NEWS FROM THE WORMHOLE (giving +2 to the Tomorrow Institute's research). When Kyil returns to his residence after his days exploring, he finds a note, reading as follows: "TRAVEL TO COORDINATES GAMMA-12-C-19 WITHIN ONE WEEK OF MESSAGE; SABOTAGE RESEARCH OPERATIONS LOCATED THERE; RETRIEVE DATA AND TRANSMIT TO THIS ACCOUNT"
