I like Transcendent Learning too. Or Technological Ascendancy as a close second.

Stranger Things (With a Side of More Dead Stuff)

2217-03-04


In the 17 years since Cheetory6's appointment as President the Scummer society had began to develop a deeper appreciation for education, caused by the many unexplainable wonders our lead scientists were uncovering. The government acknowledged this changed sentiment, and enacted reforms to optimise our educational systems to create an environment where-in our best minds could thrive. They also funded the construction of a second colony ship which was sent to planet Speakeasy, formerly known as Raxum III. The colony upon Zoroaster had also managed to become self-dependent, founding it's first city consisting out of 500 million Scummers!

Spoiler: Brave New Worlds...
Image
Image


Meanwhile our scientists were still discovering continuously more findings out in deep space, and even more dead things that were once sapient to go along with them. A gigantic computational complex was found hidden within a bunker upon Lek'Shan I, it is theorised to be thousands of years old, and our brightest minds are clueless as to what it is vigorously calculating. An executive decision was made to let the computer do its things and simply observe.

Spoiler: Bunker-Bot
Image


The dead stuff discovered this time consisted of a mummified pilot left floating in space, as well as a gigantic skeleton which after some study was discovered to have once been something remarkable...

Spoiler: Dead Things
Image
Image
Image


This gigantic skeleton is far from the highlight of scientific findings these past years however, as three other findings have left our community baffled. Firstly a zoological discovery was made in the far star-system Fl'groathill. The large Teriyaki Space Whales we had encountered earlier, grazing upon gas giants, were to be found here in large numbers. What's more, they swarmed around a singular gaseous planet, and were hostile to all those that approached. The SIS James Cook was chases off by these aggressive giant space whales, a most terrifying experience.

Spoiler: Teriyaki Space Sauce
Image
Image


Then another system named Gredge was found to contain an impossible planet orbiting one of the present gas giants. The landmasses of this planet appear to be floating by all readings provided by the SIS Leif Ericson, yet they couldn't approach the planet for it was guarded by these shining entities which seemed more than happy to electrocute anything that came too close.

Spoiler: The Fudge?
Image
Image


Finally some sort of artificially maintained wormhole was located near the Xantha Broniea Black Hole. It seemed to have been constructed out of Nanites and pointed towards a cluster, now dubbed the L-Cluster, outside of our galaxy. The gateway had however been closed, denying us any access to this mysterious cluster of stars.

Spoiler: The L-Gate
Image
Image


How should we proceed to deal with all these findings?

Should we kill the Teriyaki guarding the gas giant? Should we fight the balls of light? Should we setup a programme aimed at reopening the L-gate?

One thing is certain: accomplishing any of these will take time. The space whales and lightballs are far more powerful than we are, and the L-gate shall surely take many years to crack.

Cheetory6 Was Robbed!

2220-08-14


3 more years passed for the Scummer Interplanetary Assembly, and it was once more election time. Cheetory6 had held the position for 20 years now, a had lead the Scummers into a new age of brave exploration and expansion. The SIA was no longer an meagre blob on the galactic map, it was now instead a minor blob! A worthy upgrade.

Spoiler: The Scummer Interplanetary Assembly

Spoiler: Election Candidates

Cheetory6 as head of the Alien Compassion Watch was running against the leader of the Free Thought Council: Militiadis Staikopoulos (what a name). 2 decades without any sign of -living- sapient life had however cooled the fires in the hearts of the Scummers with regards to the pursuit of extraterrestrial life. The charismatic investor Staikopoulos however promised to focus upon the economy, promising prosperity for all Scummers within his 10 year rule. It was a close battle, and eventually the result was called...

Spoiler: Election Result

Farewell Cheetory6, you shall not be forgotten. o7
His final act was to pass a bill funding research into the elusive L-gate.

From a distance the planet appears to be like any other gas giant with our current sensor technology.

Scum and Villainy

2225-01-08


None dared question the wise Cheetory6, he was unquestionably a great leader for the Scummer people. The same could not be said for for the newly elected Mr. Staikopoulos however, even nature herself seemed displeased. It all started with an earthquake on the newly colonised Speakeasy, causing 2 million casualties with a volcano erupting as a result. The Governor of our planets, who you haven't heard of before, Felisberta Abreu, got corrupted by the criminal underworld shortly after this disastrous event. She had tended to Meat World, Speakeasy, and Zoroaster with great care and efficiency for many years, and our authorities are locked into a strongly heated debate whether or not to imprison her. Finally, space pirates set up shop. They call themselves the "Shipjackers", and have targeted the Lidor system through which a trade route supplying vital resources between Zoroaster and Meat World passes through.

Spoiler: Scummy Scummers
Image
Image


One good thing has however happened, at least it appears to be good for the time-being. An activist has gained a cult-following upon Zoroaster. Ksenia Zhirova has been dubbed the "Mediator", and she preaches Xenophilia. The local populace obeys her sooner than the local authorities, however she has been cooperating with said authorities to make sure no disputes happen.

Spoiler: The Mediator
Image


How should we deal with the corrupt governor, and should we utilise martial force on the Shipjackers?


That's all for a bit, discuss away. The earlier questions are still open for decision as we do not have the means to complete any of them as off now.

Ms. Abreu was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment, for cooperating with criminal figureheads and accepting illegal funds. The Scummer Centurion Fleet was also mobilised into action, its purpose to destroy the traitors threatening the lives of civilians transporting goods between our planets. Since 2200 corvettes had been equipped with fusion reactors over fission, but further remained the same design. 12 of them now orbited MafiaScum however, as opposed to the 3 initially funded.

Spoiler: Targets Sighted

Spoiler: Engaged

All 10 of the Shipjacker ships were destroyed, they engaged our fleet first and thus sealed their fate. 4 of our ships were downed during the skirmish though, taking the lives of roughly 200 Scummers. The fleet was given the green light to bombard and neutralise the pirate base as a result. No pirates survived.

Meanwhile a broadcast was being intercepted from the SIS Darwin in the Lantana system... wait... unidentified vessel sighted?!

Spoiler: Zeta Aliens

The SIS Darwin was receiving a stream of information... some sort of transmission! A crack squad of scientists (not on crack) was quickly assembled on Meat World to decode whatever was being sent. In return we have returned a greetings transmission. We shall continue to observe with caution.

Zoraster Crashes the Party

2228-04-20


The screens at the Scummer Extraterrestrial Research campus flared to life, radar dishes whirring into action automatically seeking out a point in the sky. The scientists at hand were startled out of their usual routine, and hurried over to the control panels. We are receiving a transmission... and it is in our own language!

Spoiler: Transmission
Image


The people of the Scummer Interplanetary Assembly were ecstatic, we had finally found sapient life that lived! Scientists whipped out bottles of champagne, whiskey, and rum and ceased all work to celebrate. As the news spread throughout the various planets under SIA control daily life came to a halt. We are not alone!

Spoiler: First Encounter
Image


The Scummer Moderation Collective was located above us, only 7 jumps from our nearest outpost. They appeared to be peaceful, yet remained seemingly wary of our intentions.

Spoiler: Galactic Map

How should we deal with our new neighbours?
