Welcome To The Matrix

2257-06-02


The Compact of the Snuggly Duck appeared to be friendly, and as such our authorities approached them with an offer. We would supply them some minerals for 10 years in exchange for all their existing knowledge of other existing
sapient lifeforms. They agreed, and we were swiftly put in touch with the The Correct Path as well as the United Mish-Mash Compact. Both... not as friendly as the birbs.

Spoiler: Hi There

Meanwhile the SIA was holding yet another election, as once more 10 years had passed. Annadog40 was less popular than she was a decade ago, narrowly beating Laladucks with a 3% voter margin. A bit of campaign funding changed that, and Annadog40 secured 51% of the vote, also securing the Free Thought Council an Assembly majority.

Spoiler: Politics
Image
Image


Shortly after Annadog40 was re-elected our scientists mention discovering a strange alien-box orbiting a distant planet. They brought it back to Meat World, where the order was given to open it in isolation. We don't know what we were expecting... but it wasn't this.

Spoiler: Red Pill or Blue Pill

What should the SIA do?

Oh, Hi There

2266-06-20


Annadog40 made an executive decision and allowed the green solution to be reproduced and administered to our peoples. They were hesitant at first, one would wonder why, but soon Scummers realised they felt stronger, sturdier. This was also the case, we had become more resilient as a species. The only one who didn't seem to react well to it was Plotinus, who had an allergic reaction and died at the age of 87.

Spoiler: Green Pill
Image
Image


In the meanwhile our research ships had stumbled across two other spacefaring civilisations: the Fellowship of Mafia Universe and Postie People's Union. Mafia Universes way of saying hello was by instantly setting up a criminal branch on Meat World, and then opening a smuggler's cove as well as an illegal drug lab. The police force on Meat World had to be doubled as to keep the sudden surge in crime under control. The Postie's were much nicer however, and within 2 years we had setup a Commercial pact as well as a free-migration between worlds pact. Scummers were free to live in Postie lands, and vice-versa.

Spoiler: Subversive Cults and Posties!
Image
Image
Image
Image


Having signed these treaties Annadog40 then requested information of other known civilisations to the Posties in exchange for mineral goods. They obliged... and pretty much the entire galaxy map became technicolour spontaneously. Some seemed friendly, others downright terrifying.

Spoiler: Um, Hi
Image

Spoiler: Galactic Map

Our diplomats were given a nightmarish time, being forced to scramble about and keep dialogue going properly between all these new civilisation. The Correct Path in the meanwhile seemed to be fed up with dialogue, and declared war on the Urist Commerce League!

Spoiler: Initiate Utopia Sequence
Image


This is not all however! Our scientists also found a weird gargantuan species of slug presereved under the ice of a distant planet, and we were able to secure intact strands of their DNA as to map the genome. Using this we were able to resurrect this otherwise extinct species, we named them Azizians, and although they are stupid and huge they make good labourers.

I am surprised looking at that map how these summers didn't know aliens existed, were all these other factions just ignoring that area of space waiting for the SIA to become space faring.

Not particularly, there like an army of very powerful crystals locking down the only hyperlane to the bottom half which prevented a lot of exploration both ways.

THE WORM

2267-12-05


It was yet another turn of the cycle, and Annadog40's 10 year term was coming to a close. The two main political factions within the Scummer Assembly started to rev up their campaign engines once more, spreading their messages and propaganda to the masses. The Free Thought Council was widely expected to win the upcoming election, the incumbent president Annadog40 enjoying 40% of the votes in pre-election polls. The Alien Compassion Watch was coming up second yet again, their candidate Randomidget holding 28% of the poll. Both factions campaigned as usual, neither investing any particular extra effort or funding when compared to prior elections.

Spoiler: Election Polls
Image


Time passed, and the elections were held. Scummers submitted their votes which were then sent off to Meat World. A legion of officials was tasked with manually checking and counting all votes, and before long the result was called...

Spoiler: Our President
Image


The result had been predicted by no one. RayFrost, an independent and previously unnoteworthy candidate won 29% of the vote, with Annadog40 suffering a major defeat with only 27%. The two political factions were sent back to the drawing board, left confused as to what had just happened. Shortly after the elections a small fleet of civilian ships carrying Fleigh refugees fleeing the Council of Storm-Z. The Roadmen had allegedly been displaced from their homes and expelled from their borders, leaving them to their own devices without any support. RayFrost permitted them to settle within our domain in exchange for their loyalty. How well they will incorporate into Scummer society will have to be seen...

Spoiler: Fleigh Refugees
Image


Having left the position of Research Captain aboard the SIS Leif Ericson a promising new scientist was recruited: wgeurts. Within two months he was reporting his first interstellar discovery, a seemingly impossible transmission... coming from a black hole.

Spoiler: Horizon Signal
Image


The crew aboard the SIS Leif Ericson were tasked with decoding the transmission, under the guidance of wgeurts. Progress was made astoundingly fast, but the findings only created further questions. In fact, the results were outright unnerving... the transmission namely broadcasted a poem written in the Scummer language, personally adressed to wgeurts himself. Even more disturbing was the fact that the source of the signal may even predate the birth of our civilisation.

Spoiler: GRAVITY IS DESIRE
Image


By now the wgeurts was determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, so he pressed on with additional resources allocated by the Assembly. What happens next is simply put unexplainable, and even more terrifying.

Spoiler: THE WORM
Image


wgeurts, the SIS Leif Ericson, and its crew were no more. They had simply vanished.

What on earth do you think is going on?
