The avians are tagged and released, with most of them surviving until they are put back on their home planet. A month of observation shows them using the tools, after a brief period of avoiding them out of what seems to be fear. The tagged birds also show that the species has a high reproduction rate, with several new birds born to the tagged ones during the month.

The orbital lens is used to continue the terraforming efforts. Although the captain refuses to allow it to come to close to the outpost, it is used to begin thawing the ice of the planetary sea that is growing from comets that are impacting once per week. With the lens focused on it, the sea has a small part of its surface that is always liquid, and much of the interior is liquid as well.

Instead of going through the trouble of collecting plankton from Aquarius, the scientist points out that the ship has a store of plankton on-board to use. This plankton is inserted into the liquid part of the ocean, and seems to thrive, despite the comet impacts.

On Aquarius, the news is not so good. The virus that was containing the infestation seems to be losing effectiveness, and another isn't able to be designed until the end of the month. The infestation grows back to 6% of the surface.

The outpost is worked on, and 50 more humans are put down, as the construction robots ran into some difficulties this month. Some of the humans are beginning to complain about the cramped living conditions, however, and the terraformer suggests that some more open spaces be built.

All vegetable waste products are collected from the outpost, and placed in the surrounding hills, but the scale simply isn't large enough to make much of an impact.

The ship notices a small band of UV light, shining in the direction of Aries, that is blinking on and off. It is originating from the orbit of Gas Giant A, near one of the larger moons. It is not harming anything, but the general is put at unease by it. "Don't know what that is, but I don't like it."

>Subroutine 72134-Dr4g07 suggesting:
-Determine what the problem with the virus is.
-Check air composition of Aries.
-Build a better infrastructure for the colony
-Check if the databank has some human media like music or films
-If yes, hand out copies of them to humans

I think our pals, the ones we haven't met are bouncing light off of us. They could be attempting to send a nuke or something at us or just trying to see where we are. I think we need to get a look at these fellas.

Subroutine 54363-D.W.A.R.F awokes and suggest a better organisation of the subroutines. Create a newnetwork of long, middle, and short term goals. Here is D.W.A.R.F suggestins:

Shortterm: ?
Meddleterm: Establish a colony on Planet C.
How: ?
Long term: Create a moon for a stabile climate on planet D.
How: Start to calculate the mass needed to create a moon big enough to stabilisee the climate. Make a rough estimate of the astroids mass.

This, please.
I wanna handle the colony

[Dragor23]

I want to handle the colony too.

Subroutine 8868.miracle.matrix.x chimes "The algae and plankton should be put to use. The virus employed has slowed development, which is a fine outcome to the virus, please do not remedy it. The factory and skimmers will put the algae to use as well as provide quick cheap materiel and possibly simple CO2 for any planets needing an atmosphere. Perported petroleum products include but are not limited to: raw materiel, electronic materiels, foods, fuel, heatsources, plastic products, hygiene products, paints, and flavor enhancers as well as the brunt to a number of human devices requiring more manufacturing than a single plant can offer. Please do not remedy the viruses flaw to the point of killing all of the algae of plankton. *the program also opens a set of files showing how if something blocked out the light to a large part of the planets ocean, all of the algae and plankton would die in a matter of days* This is a last ditch effort. Please do not use it under normal circumstances.

Ahhh, yes... Killing the ecosystem of a other planet and burn the product as fuel... Simply brilliant

I don't say anything! It is brilliant.
