MIL: 2 1. My soldiers will continue training and will try and keep up the deception. High Command acknowledges the good work of Colonel Popper and awards him a commendation along with command of the 5th "Special" Infantry Regiment. ECO: 2 1. + will go into increasing the capacity of the station. Docking ports are built for all manner of craft, but special attention is paid to providing for satellite repair and construction facilities so that it can serve as a hub for an eventual satellite network. Technorapture construction platforms are still being contracted for this work. * If it won't cost anything extra I would like plans to be drawn up for what would be necessary to build a covert launch facility, on the station, in which stealth vehicles could be built and launched. Ranging from shuttles that can deliver operatives unseen to stealth satellite that can shadow other satellites or stations and intercept their broadcasts.  2. + will go into continuing to upgrade my own labs and to try and lure in those researchers. If that is not sufficient to attract them they will be asked to submit grant proposals. ESP: 7 1. + will go into maintaining and increasing the decoy armies. 2. +++++ + will go into strengthening my foreign networks. Decrypting communiques, hiring local agents, setting up dead drops, training field agents, etc. Nothing specific against any one country, just improving my overall effectiveness. TEC: 6 1. + will go into continuing my genetics research. Eventually this is going to be used to disseminate psionic abilities through my main population, but since I don't actually have psionics yet they obviously can't work on that. So for now they will just continue working on normal genetic research, apparently for the pure pursuit of research. 2. +++++ will continue to research psionics.  MOR: 6 1. All of my morale will go into encouraging people to sign up for the intelligence services. We need more hackers, spies, counter agents, logistics operators. Everything necessary for to expand my intelligence agency considerably. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">REP: 2 <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">1. My diplomats will continue to talk with the Andean Union and Brazil. However this time they have a specific aim. We are trying to encourage them to participate in Project Earth's Global Health project. We popint out that this is purely beneficial for everyone, and that it would certainly help our respective citizens. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">**Response** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"> MIL: 2 ECO: 2 ESP: 9 TEC: 6 MOR: 6 REP: 2

MIL: Training continues, and improvement is expected soon as long as investment is maintained at this rate of advance.

ECO: The increase in capacity has begun, but only slowly. Limited funds are cited as the primary reason for the low rate of advance. OOC: Stealth in space is kinda…tricky. The key isn’t to remain unseen (given that you’re sitting on a backdrop of 3 degrees Kelvin), but rather to make people think they’re seeing something that’s different from what it really is. Nonetheless, several proposals have been made using radar-absorptive materials Many of the researchers were already hired as a part of the expansion, but their hope for increased funding continues unabated. Your many efforts improve your espionage capability.

[Southern Federation gains 2 ESP.] Your research into genetics remains slow. It is believed that effective genetic engineering remains several years away at the present rate of increase. Your research into psionics continues. Your researchers believe they have identified several key markers which, if modified, could permit receptive empathy and other limited psi powers. Your efforts to push for the northern neighbors to join the Global Health project fail. Brazil is unwilling to join. The Andean Union is receptive to your efforts, but unfortunately lacks the resources to aid due to a growing internal situation of unknown origin which is promoting unrest in the nation.
