"I just can't believe you would undercut me like this, Soph", you mumble through a smile as the cameras flash. The results have been announced, and the cameras are
very excited to see a handoff of power between two old friends.
"Oh stop whining, it'll be good for both our careers," she hisses back, waving for the assembled press.
In spite of your expressed wishes, Sophie had thrown her hat into the ring to replace you, largely as a way to make sure Captain Dragomirov didn't take the seat. By a technicality in one of the UN bylaws, that means you are now Secretary General.
[NEW CIV LEADER: Sophie Leboef (52, Expansionist (reduce space station cost), Home in the Sky (reduce space station upgrade cost, Substance Abuser (shorter lifespan)).
Previous leader Cordelia Whifield (52, Agrarian Upbringing (improve food output), Stubborn (slower XP gain) becomes planetary governor.]

Captain Reid has returned to Earth, somewhat resentful but willing to at least try to get clean.
I will begin asking for rolls in the thread for her progress through rehab! In the meantime, should someone else take command of the ISS Einstein?
[] (Capt) No, have faith in Captain Reid to get clean quickly.
[X] (Capt) Axel Schwartz, 29, Meticulous (higher anomaly discovery chance)
[] (Capt) Carmen Solano, 46, Adaptable (faster experience gain)

"Huh. So Corie was right about the dead aliens." Exoplanetary Secretary Lebouef scans a report from Captain Wang in the Dimis system, in which he details his discovery of remnants of former habitation. And not just an industrial society that destroyed itself, as has been seen previously, but a fully spacefaring civilization. Enough of the alien language has been translated to know they referred to themselves as
"Grunur".
Doctor Chamberlain has jumped at the opportunity to collaborate on this new discovery, and has begun a massive catalog of what he refers to as 'biodiversity studies' ahead of future Grunur-related data. [
Technology: Selective Defoliants complete. Technology: Biodiversity Studies (more productive sociobiology studies) being researched.]
Precursors: The Grunur discovered! New archaeological site discovered in Dimis. Divert Captain Wang to study it instead of surveying?
[X] (Wang) Yes
[] (Wang) No

Can I get one person to roll a d10 for Captain Reid?
