Google Drive is just terrible.

[PTTG??]

I'm trying a new tactic, possibly a bit silly. We'll see how it turns out.

[Karlito]

How inventive could you possibly be, three turns in?

[PTTG??]

Well, maybe not "inventive" so much as "lucky".

EDIT: Also, I might have researched and built a stockpile of planet busters. Possibly.

[Un67]

Have you sent the turn out yet? Still waiting on it, it seems.

[PTTG??]

I sent you a new copy. Did you get it?

[Un67]

Not seeing it. Did you send it to the right e-mail?

[PTTG??]

Yeah, I copied it straight from the PM.

[Un67]

OK, try again now. I created a special filter for you that makes sure that anything you send goes to my inbox, so I think we should be good.

EDIT: Received and sent off to GlyphGryph, hopefully without a hitch.

[PTTG??]

Looks like it went through.

"Colonel, the first battalion has finished training and awaits your inspection."
Karlita coughed ever so politely, and tapped the numerous stars that now decorated her uniform.
"I mean, errrr, Grand Marshal??" the Major stammered, "Ma'am I don't think you can just-"
"Of course I can... General. After all, we'll need more than the fourty surviving Unity Security forces in the army if any of those other factions made planetfall. Besides, it would be silly for the eventual leader of all humanity to be a mere Colonel."


Also: retroactively a woman.

The medium-wave radio crackled into life.
"Approaching the pod now, Chief."
"Very well, Lieutenant, you have your orders, let us see what we can scavenge from this thing" Morgan replied as he surveyed his executive board, crowded into the command post deep within Morgan Industries.
"Chief, if I could have just a quick moment?" - Amanda Gater, his COO - "When are we going to change this ridiculous colour scheme? The rank and file would appreciate it if we didn't all have to go around looking like damned hippies"
"Nonsense!" somebody shouted, pushing their way towards the executive officer. "Waldrup, Design, reporting, chief! I'll have you know that this newly-developed orange metalling is 7.8% cheaper than any viable alternative!"
Another burst of the static from the radio, and everyone's voices tailed off into silence.
"Chief, we have the pod half open, and some weird shit is going down! You need to see this!"
As the grainy video feed came up on the main monitors, everyone present in the post saw the boiling, writhing mass of worms erupting from within the pod.
"Get the hell out of there, William!" - Gater again - "Fall back!"

Also it seems I've found my first landmark. It is not a good one. Sigh.

[Karlito]

Great dunes? Sunny Mesa? Borehole cluster where the boreholes have been destroyed by worms?

[Twiggie]

I'm pretty sure my capital is next to the Sea of Sargasso

how is sunny mesa not good? and there are no spore launchers, so no destroying the boreholes i think

[Karlito]

how is sunny mesa not good?

Oh it's fine, I just find it conceptually kind of boring compared to other landmarks. Even the other energy bonus ones are like, "the ground is made of radiation" rather than, "the ground is higher here so it gets more sunlight."
