The Capital Is Nearing Its Full Completion
After several years of non-stop construction, the government has finally released a statement proudly declaring that 68.1% of the planned structure and arcology has been finished! This news was celebrated by many citizens as the dry canals built within the ground and through public spaces were finally flooded rapidly, filling with water and life, gently flowing through hundreds of kilometers. And while this milestone was celebrated with big and small parties from the citizenry and their constructors alike, foreign dignitaries reached out with congratulations for nearing the end of our colonization stage, when we will finally be officially instated as a Garden And Relaxation World. And as the people celebrate, another news has managed to come through the grapevine of rumors, as there are hints that monuments are in the talking, of the God-Emperor Himself, Lord Haku, or other important milestones within our short but turbulent history.

Read All About The New Musical World
The new opera houses have opened with cheer and overbooking for months. At the same time, bands and orchestras delight the people with venerable and time-tested music such as the March of the Tanith or the well-known pieces of the ancient Terran composer XXX. We managed to compile a list of the available musical and theatrical works on offer for the next three months for your pleasure. As well as creating a list that allows you to enjoy as much of these cultural pieces, we managed to work out a deal with various groups of musicians and actors willing to offer discounts in exchange for multi-month passes to their shows and performances. But if listening to native and Imperial music as well as ancient tales and sagas passed down the millennia doesn't sound like your thing, there are dozens of different options you may peruse to find what works best for you!

New Shrines And Churches Welcomed With Open Arms And Jubilations
After far too much time had passed where the people had to either cramp themselves into tiny churches or around open-air shrines, we finally have been granted one of the essentials of life: the space to pray. The new places of worship have already been sanctified in a giant planet-wide ceremony invoking the God-Emperors blessing and protection. The following days have seen record numbers of attendance and prayers, with donations of all kinds shooting through the roof as people finally had the time and space needed to properly practice faith. Something that was aided by the increasing amount of public transportation options in the new initiative to improve the much-neglected infrastructure of both roads and trains. At the same time, private and pooled transportation has shot through the roof, with native Cooperatives already booked years in advance, despite the high cost of those vehicles. We can only hope that this eye for improving the roads continues, as people already had to veer into walking to work, often for an hour on average.

[USER The_Truth HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY BANNED]

Galagen had found, after several weeks of harsh fighting against the followers of the Great Enemy, that he vastly preferred the battlefield to the "peace" and "quiet" of his current ship he had been assigned onto despite his thoughts to the contrary while on deployment. This state of thought had everything to do with his "friends" currently around him, Aezozae and Maelone, who, in their infinite wisdom and foresight, had decided to bother him by gossiping about Yvraine. Because of course they did.

"I am not insinuating anything," Aezozae spoke, dangling off the tree Galagen was currently trying to meditate under, "but... have you heard about the "diplomatic meeting" coming up?" She said, giggling and waggling her eyebrows.

"You don't mean that the rumors are true?" Maelon gasped in fake shock, a grin on his face as he tried to suppress his own laughter. "But how could our glorious leader do something as forbidden and shocking as "meeting" a mon'keigh? And to divert a whole fleet to do so too! Does she know no restraint?!" He continued, losing the battle against his laughter, doubling over as Aezozae herself only held on due to her extensive training.

"I know!" She said between gasps of breath, "but not any mon'keigh, brother! It is the son of their fallen god! How could she resist the advances of such a sophisticated creature crafted by "divinity" such as he?" She mockingly spoke, taking on an air of seriousness for a mere moment.

"Could you two please stop talking about her that way?" Galagan spoke, trying to contain his rising annoyance at the two. "We are going there because of the incident with that one Kabal, not because she is doing a booty call as you insist she is!" He spoke, a bit of heat entering his voice at the end.

"Of course," Aezozae spoke, winking at him with a grin, "that is what we are doing! Plain old boring diplomatic talks. Where the two will spend days going over "battleplans" and "coordinate attacks" with each other. Nothing scandalous happening there, no sir!"

"Yeah, Maelon spoke, nodding. "Just like last time when she "made him rise" from the throne!" At which point, both laughed once more, with Aezozae falling out of the tree.

"For fucks sake! They had a normal, respectful conversation with each other; why does everyone think they have sex?!"

Meanwhile, in Yvraines private quarters:
"Do you think he'll like the red feather or the blue feathers more?"
"Mau"
"Of course! The orange ones!"

Infrastructure 9 Dice
[] Open Arkologies (Stage 2)
Having finished the basic layout of the Capital, work can begin on incorporating the massive surrounding region and oceanside, with towers and connected waterways above and underneath the surface planned and dug. Thousands of houses and dozens of districts will be needed to be designed, with a mindboggling amount of seeds and earth requiring transportation to their intended destinations. In addition, parks, schools, clinics, churches, sports venues, and all other civilian infrastructure needs to be constructed to allow an adequate living quality to be maintained. Additionally, hotels, casinos, entertainment districts, and every manner of sanctioned recreational activity will be required to cater to soon-to-be arriving nobility, functionaries, and other assorted VIPs.

"It is with pride," Maata spoke into the vox-amplifier transmitting her voice to the thousands of people listening with rapt attention, "that I can talk to you on this day. Despite the turbulent times our little slice of the galaxy has suffered, we have nonetheless managed to stride forward with little regard for the difficulties we encountered. Again and again, we have proven why humanity is the master of the Milkyway, both by the might of our weaponry and the ancient Godmachine recovered from our shores to the indomitable will of our brave settlers and pioneers carving out more and more space for us to live and prosper within." She paused for a moment to let the cheers die down. "An effort that has not slowed down but accelerated in leaps and bounds thanks to your work," she spoke, once more pausing for the cheering. "And thus I have the pleasure, and privilege, to open not only this park but to reveal a monument that will stand for thousands of generations after us, to remind our children and descendants from whence they came, and for what we, and they, will labor to achieve," she continued, stepping to the side gesturing behind her, where a giant piece of cloth slowly fell to reveal the monument hidden underneath. The cheering was nearly deafening.

[] Road Network (Stage 2)
Connecting your various installations on the continent will be vital in their stable operation, supply, and moving the produced resources. Having laid the first road and track lines, it is now time to expand the overutilized sections while adding new secondary lines to allow better traffic flow in congested areas.
(-3 Metal, -2 Power, -2 Promethium per Turn (221/403))
After far too long a time, the government's attention once more returned to the slowly congesting streets and overworked public transportation issues plaguing Momi, mainly its capital. Dozens of transportation hubs were erected with all due haste, while tracks and rails for trains were lain or attached to where they could deliver both people and resources to factories and offices. Slowly and spreading like a grey spiderweb, the roads were reinforced and broadened, those showing signs of damage being repaired while new routes were beaten and paved into the planet's soil.

[] Schooling And Education (Stage 2)
A few schools do not make an educational system. Likewise, so too does having more than eighty percent of your population, which is supposed to be within these schools, outside of the same due to not enough space present. Therefore, it is time to start on the long and arduous path to change the current state of affairs. With a crash build of prepared materials, we expect to have enough capacity to fully educate half of our current population. After that, however, we will hit a soft ceiling as most of our educated educational personnel will be utilized fully at that point.
(-2 Money per Turn (462/431), Stage 2 Complete, Stage 3 at (30/575))
With a last effort, all schools we constructed have been staffed fully, with teachers both off-world and those few prodigies accelerated through their training beginning the education of our population. While children are our main target, evening and night classes for adults have enjoyed raging popularity as many see them as an easy way to gain even more leverage of control over their lives and their employers. Yet, a quiet debate has raged within the educational ministry about the exact shape of the academic plan and how long the children should be expected to attend. And if they have to wear uniforms.

[] Voidport (Stage 1)
A voidport is a massive structure requiring Metal, Promethium, and Power in excess, while legions of workers keep everything running smoothly. Yet, without convenient access to your markets and resources, many traders will likely not visit as often as you'd wish.
(-8 Promethium per Turn (846/1725))
Another mountain of work was pushed onto the workers with the construction effort grinding ever onward, yet more needs to be done. The skeleton for the refueling pipelines has been lain, but not much more than that. Yet, such a monumental effort should not be scoffed at. We are still in the race for the fastest Voidport construction in the entire sector!

[] Shrines And Churches (Stage 2)
While small places of worship and shrines are right and proper for any Imperial World, they leave a lot to be desired for festivals and ceremonies. A general expansion to all existing places, along with the sanctification of additional churches, will allow almost all of our people to attend sermons personally.

[] Administratum Headquarters (Stage 2)
Cogitators are the lifeblood of all Administratum workers. They ensure that the numbers are correct, the files sorted, and no mistake unassigned to the one that made them. Ordering and installing several thousand specialized Cogitation Towers will be very costly but needed to avoid the bloat in personnel many other worlds see.
(-20 Money, -2 Metal, -4 Advanced Machinery, -8 Power, gain Dice (302/638))
Hundreds of cogitators are currently being carefully constructed, ready and eager to be installed into the slowly rising towers of administrative might rising within the heart of our capital.

[-] Promethium Fuel-Silos (Stage 1)
The massive increase in Promethium yield is a blessing for native industry, yet a curse for all the workers working in the Promethium fields. Without any place to store the output, workers need to be fired, and production lowered to prevent any spills into the environment.
(+400 Promethium Storage, +1 Morale (64/69), Completed)
The silos have been created and are awaiting the bounty of promethium that will secure our world ever more riches and economic might.

[] Civilian Transportation Complexes (Stage 1)
Cars, trains, aircraft, scooters, bikes, boats, and more must be produced, marketed, and sold to the masses who need them. Renting out these spaces for companies to start providing these goods will ensure that nobody will have to walk without wanting to walk.
(+7 Money per Turn, +2 Morale (782/518), Stage 1 Complete, Stage 2 at (264/719))
The last sets of tests and inspections have been fully passed, with over a dozen lines of all kinds of vehicles beginning production in this week alone, eagerly being taken by the hands of individuals and collectives alike. And as production is spooled up even more, increasing the speed of our economic upswing, trends have started to emerge in the people's preferences of vehicles and their uses.

[-] Biosphere Research Initiative (Stage 2) - (4 AaA Dice Locked)
With the finding of the hivemind islands and the trouble in acquiring Sylvaneth for study, new approaches have been initiated in construction and trapping. The focus will be placed on investigating whether these islands present any danger to human lives and if they can be somehow used for the good of the Republic. At the same time, covert teams of specially trained soldiers will seek through the forests and jungles on the main continent in a grid search, armed to the teeth with all manner of tranquilizers to catch, subdue, and return a living Sylvaneth if possible. Of course, a corpse should be fine too, but less useful for our efforts.
((442/575))
Efforts continue unabated, though slight morale problems have emerged from those troops sent deep into the jungles for weeks and months on end. A cycling of our teams has been initiated to reduce fatigue and discontent.

[] Undersea Aquatic Foodstock Investigation (Stage 3)
Having found almost everything you can in the High Ocean, you will now descend into the deep dark below, seeking out the strange, alien, and beautiful. After that, you'll try to eat the things.

Nothing new in the underzee. Efforts continue.

[] Meat and Leather Factories (Stage 2)
With the recently acquired Grox Herds, meat farming can be expanded to take advantage of the tasty, nutritious, and easy to cultivate source of protein for our people. Though facilities for the lobotimization of the Grox need to be constructed, their cost will rapidly be overshadowed by the tasty profit (Legally distinct) Grox Burgers will provide for us.
(8 Metal, -1 Advanced Machinery, -2 Power, -4 People, -4 Promethium per Turn, +10 Money per Turn, +24 Food per Turn (268/288))
An expansion to factory farming has been initiated with slight problems in the lobotimization process of the Grox, costing valuable time and money as incorrect data needed to be corrected by the native Mago Biolgis currently studying a new type of algae discovered in the underzee. The grumbling of needing to "provide servitor-brained menials with menial data" has been heard all over the recently finished factories, with only a slight tweaking of the internal machinery required to complete the effort.

Another batch of recruits has been dropped from the effort after failing to meet the standards, yet the rest has been fully cleared and expected to complete the courses and training, with only a dozen at most expected to flush out.

[-] Music Studio, Theater And Opera Subsidies (Stage 1)
Music is, universally, seen as a pleasant experience for many, something to soothe, calm, excite, anger, and more, depending on the artist and piece. Aiding new and eager musicians can only help with the birth of native culture while also gaining a neat profit from taxation. These musicians will also assist the theater and opera houses opening with subsidies from the government, ready to bring stories of love, hate, drama, epic, comedy, and more to the people and elite tourists alike.
(+4 Money per Turn (169/173), Completed)
The newly created infrastructure and programs offering musicians and actors a vast space and funding to follow their profession have started on a high note. The finished churches and shrines hired large swaths of the recently professional artists for ceremonies or events. Simultaneously, stories and sagas of both our initials populations past and those immigrated were played and shown everywhere, with dozens of names already gathering clout and fame. Due to the people's enthusiasm, large swaths of music genres and theatrical shows managed to attract gatherings behind them, with discussions as lively as they could get.
