If it is any small consolation, even though he is CEO, a vote is put out to honor the traditions of the UN. Morgan runs unopposed and is elected governor.

This will provide + 1 energy commerce for each base. We will need all the help we can get.

A bit different tactic than how Morgan is usually played for initial turns being things may be unnerving.

Applied Physics to start.

Decent pod pops. An alien artifact and a mineral bonus.

So far, so good. We can not study it yet since we do not have any network nodes. But, we will keep it until such time.

Morgan senses that there is a sense of urgency. An impending and foreboding doom.

The gambit to send a pod north to take advantage of the agricultural pod pop is met by a wall of fungus.

Six aliens arrive!

The vice president in charge of the military informs the CEO his worst fears. The ships that were spotted appear to be powerful aliens. They are somewhere on planet as we speak. They also appear NOT to like each other.

Great, Morgan says. This is all we need to upset the business plans.

Sometimes in bussiness, you got to go against established paradigms and accept risks.

This new base is an example. There is no infrastructure to speak of yet and only a tiny security force. This position allows quick access from Morgan HQ if something happens and takes advantage of those already built farms.

That fungus wall, though, concerns Morgan. It goes against employee safety protocols. Hopefully, it is a manageable risk.

The first encounter with mindworms by the scout patrol in the fungus wall above Morgon Pharmaceuticals.

Another alien artifact discovered!

Hunting mindworms since there is nothing to do with that fungus yet. Saving up energy.

Still no sign of evil aliens!

A bit more exploration and we see our first power graph.

We are lagging behind but appears everyone is a bit equal so far.

First alien contact. It is the annihilators. Champs of the AI Stress Test, defeater of Ete. Neither of us can talk to each other.

This may not be good.

* Random quote

As we approached we were confronted by the ruined splendor of Sparta Command. The true immensity of the place became instantly apparent as our Quantum Tank crunched over the rubble and parked next to a shattered bunker, but the extent of the destruction took weeks to assess. The shielded datacore had sustained several massive breaches and smoke still billowed from the numerous cannon ports. There were few signs of human life.
~ Lady Deirdre Skye ‘Our Secret War’
