**Response Turn 2**
Your scientists and engineers begin the work of unifying the AIs and elders into a single entity. They expect the unification to be complete a few more years of work. However they are fairly certain that that alone will not create a second singularity. Additional hardware will be needed. And given that no one has ever done this before they have no idea how much. The first layers of new computer systems have already increased your research capacity however. You gain + res.

OOC: Computronium hasn't actually been invented yet. At least not in the sense in which I think you mean it.

**Response Turn 1**
As it happens the solar storm proves to be within safety margins. But on the other hand your efforts to sooth the upset populace works quite well and increases your morale by + as the citizens decide that they appreciate your cautiousness. And after the storm is over the citizens work extra hard to make up what was lost in the move. And in the end your resource production is down only 10%.

(And just so you know every event that happened the first turn was good. I was planning to reward risk taking. Much like in Cyberpunk where Thelonius gave easy profits the first turn. After this though you will stand the risk of having something bad happen.)

Your mirror array begins to develop. You gain 10 resource extraction per turn. You also manage to keep the bureaucrats from noticing what you've developed. At least for now.

Your scientists start work on Magcarbon. Their preliminary reports are that it will be a very long time before they manage to master the intricacies of producing such an unconventional and difficult to produce and work with material.

(I did check into this like you asked. And while it does what you say. You didn't mention that it requires a third singularity being to oversee the production and use of it. I'm willing to ignore that, but don't expect this to be an easy project. For reference humanity has currently hit the first singularity. It's just been fairly low key and no one really bothers to take advantage of the AIs who are content to do their own thing.)

Your scientists manage to develop a laser that can readily communicate with Earth. The main problem is that Earth hasn't developed a receiving station. Of course the use of such lasers is heavily restricted. And while the mining mirrors aren't immediately obvious as dangerous an interplanetary laser is. And the reports are already on their way up to Earth. (Your station is the main antimatter production facility in the Solar System remember. You're already being watched very closely.)
