 * Traits**

MIL: 3 1. We will continue to hold the line in the Andean Union. Very likely the Tamoachan will be forced to withdraw some units in order to ry and defend against Brazil's push, in which case we, and the Andean Union's troops, will launch an offensive of our own.
 * Stats**

ECO: 2 1. Put all my money this turn into working on my space station. I kind of would prefer to be doing something else, but no point leaving a project unfinished.

ESP: 7 1. All my agents work at recruting more agents and improving various intelligence networks to repair the damage done by the Tamoachan counter intelligence units.

TEC: 7 1. 4 will go into my first genetics project that was going to be the basis for future genetics work. 2. 3 will go into my psionics genetics project. Unless the first one doesn't get done, in which case it goes in there.

MOR: 6 1. Continue to recruit more soldiers to bolster my forces and replace any potential losses. Propaganda should include a little bit of waving the flag, and also emphasize the evilness of the Tamoachan to prepare the ground for a potential total takeover with Brazil. Speaking of which did they ever lose rep for all this. They're at 1 now, but I don't remember if they were at 1 or 2 before.

REP: 3 1. Continue to spread the influence of People Helping People. I would like to note that I'm just supplying resources and backing, and don't have any particular spots to help in mind. They should be trying to help wherever they can do the most good.

MIL: 3 ECO: 2 ESP: 8 TEC: 8 MOR: 6 REP: 3 The Andean War: As Brazilian forces transfer to the more successful Brazilian front in anticipation of the Tamoanchan counter-attack, the Andean Union and Southern Federation hunker down and prepare for the expected withdrawal. The assessment of the Southern Federation’s high command is on the mark; the Tamoanchan units begin a phased withdrawal on schedule. As they pull out their forces, the Andean Union and Southern Federation wait until they’ve withdrawn most but not all, then attack decisively. Caught by surprise, the Tamoanchan forces in the theatre are routed, entirely eliminated as effective military units. Andean and Federation units have reached the border at several points, and even crossed into Ecuador. The Andean military in particular is impressed with the performance of Southern Federation counterparts. [Tamoanchan loses 2 MIL. Southern Federation co-opts 1 MIL of the Andean Union.] Disengagement: (2) Andean Union: 2 MIL (13) Southern Federation: 3 MIL (12) (TOTL. 25) Tamoanchan: 2 MIL (5)
 * Response**

Brazil, unfortunately, reports that they have fared poorly in their own attempts. Having launched an offensive aimed at Caracas, a brilliant defense by the forces that were withdrawn from the Andean front managed to drive back literally twice their number in Brazilian attackers.

Your investment continues to improve your space station; new bays come online, increasing its transit capacity, and it seems that only minor investment will be necessary to complete the new expansion. OOC: Technically, your space station is complete; further investment is merely to introduce new expansions and capability to the facility. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">Your investment in the intelligence network pays off, as your intelligence agents identify several promising candidates. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">[Southern Federation gains 1 ESP]

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">Pounding the war drum pays off as recruits flock to the banner. For the defense of the nation and its prosperity, the people are willing to accept a relaxation of the old strict isolation in order to protect the nation against the evils of Tamoanchan. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">OOC: I think they lost 1 REP, but I’m not sure.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">People Helping People has been engaged in several areas of charity work, whether it’s aiding civilians in Tibet and the Shan state, or in improving health awareness in the Andean Union.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">You receive a message from an unknown source, bearing the data signature of your information broker. He reports that he has improved his capacity. Unfortunately, few people seem to be contracting with Stichelhaar for intelligence work at the moment, so they haven’t had any work to pass on to him. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">[Information broker gains 1 ESP]

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">You complete your research into genetic manipulation. Having identified several key genetic sequences in the human genome as well as developing several new ways to introduce genetic alteration without introducing messy junk sequences in active chains, your scientists believe that future work in genetic alteration is now feasible. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">[Southern Federation gains 1 TEC, trait Genetic Manipulation]

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">Only minor research, overrun from the genetics project, goes into the psionics research, but they believe that application of your completed research will accelerate progress towards not just identifying, but actually creating psionic individuals as well.
