Now that we have bought cargo, i am going to fast forward it.
1 month later. Febuary 7th.

"Hello, Lt. We wish you a safe trip to the Alpha Centauri system, and the colonization of the planets there. We have detected 2 gas giants in the system, 1 venusian planet, and 2 martian planets. We haven't discovered the moons, if any orbiting those gas giants, but we want you to colonize Alpha Centauri III, the martian planet. Good luck, and godspeed."

With that you fire up the engines and launch off, You instantly accelerate to phenominal speeds, leaving the solar system in 3 weeks.

8 years later...

"Good morning, captain." States the monotonous AI as functions return to your brain and blood flows through your veins. You feel rejuvenated, born again. You step out of your pod and walk to the bridge, where your crew look out at the system, like tiny children looking into a candy shop. You place your hands on the window as they do, and look out upon the beauty of Alpha Centauri.

After a few minutes, people regain their composure and your chief scientist walks up to you.
"Sir, we've detected that the martian planet is a bit far in. It'll be 1.5 weeks before we're there."
You nod and return to your position at the captains bridge.

1.5 weeks later

"Hello sir." says your quartermaster. He looks out the glass window and points at the red rock floating in front of you both.
  "That's it. Sir, this is phenominal. This era is one of wich that will be told about for generations."
  He shakes your hand and runs off to the cargo bay to prepare the domes materials.
"Captain, air will be handled by hydroponic trees in different places around the colony, wich will not only produce oxygen but beautify it. Water will be reclaimed, and we will study topics that the orion company wanted. By the way, they said they wanted you to mine 20 tons of Nex Minutor and 15 tons of Argon when you leave the system, at the asteroid belt.

The colony is stable and prospering. Your at the small starport and scientists walk around with charts, and there are engineers and merchants.. Just like a real colony.

What do you want to do from here?

[Phantom]

Buy what I said before. They are effective tools and improvised weapons.

[x2yzh9]

Buy what I said before. They are effective tools and improvised weapons.

When I said you've bought the cargo, i meant it. Heh, you have the equivalent of those, you have a pistol on your person and the robots and engineering people do welding and shit, and miners do mining and stuff.

[Phantom]

Hire some Mercs to protect our assets first then.

[x2yzh9]

Ohh, trust me. Youve got plenty of protection against raids against your colony and your ship.

[Phantom]

Argh. Well what kind of stuff are we wearing?
And what are the standard miners wearing?
Set the miners to work immediately.

[x2yzh9]

Argh. Well what kind of stuff are we wearing?
And what are the standard miners wearing?
Set the miners to work immediately.

They're already at work

Your wearing some slick spandex suits, and the miners are wearing pressurized, oxygenized EVA suits.

[Phantom]

I deem EVA suits obsolete.
The RIG is a better type.
I suggest all miners and engineers upgrade to this.

Whats the status on rival companies? Natives, and aliens?

[x2yzh9]

Dude, this isn't a Dead Space forum game. No natives, or aliens.. It's martian. unhospitable, maybe a few microbes but that's it.

[Phantom]

Meh. Just wait for the stuff to get mined. Defend against enemies. Raid Rival companies when the need arises.
Die rich.
Discover new planets.
Uncover government secrets.

[x2yzh9]

Ok, new poll is going up. Will close at noon tomorrow [If i manage to wake up by then  ]

[RAM]

Mine and build underground storage and bunkers.

[x2yzh9]

You set off for the asteroid belt, set to arrive in one week.

By the way, i'm going to treat this now that we have a colony setup as a non-fast paced forum game. 1 week will be equivalent to 1 day, though i wont make you wait a year to get to another solar system . I'll insta-do hyper jumps, but they will still result in time ingame taken. Anyway. will continue this tomorrow at noon.

[RAM]

Tomorrow at noon it is *plays the theme from 'The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly'*.
