103 and 106 are removed from the game. The discard pile becomes the draw pile. 104 Arcturus is the remaining Tier I hex available.

Sigh, of course it's 101, guess it's to much to ask for one system I can colonise first round!

Draco Security Service log said:

"Secretary. It's time to send that press release to the animals."

"Yes Chmee Gnaw. And the Planta as well?"

"Of course. The Draco seek nothing but friends to all the sentient species of this galaxy. We'd like to know how many feel that way about us."

The ones known as Planta sense the pollen of your ancient kin near worlds upon which we mean to spread our seed. Their kind shall be assimilated into the One Organic, and their knowledge added to the Gravemind. Does this displease you?

Draco Security Service copy of Secretary Raargh diary said:

"Chmee Gnaw the Planta have already sent a reply. They wish to know if we'll be displeased if they engage our Cousins. Apparently they encountered one on the far side of their territory."

"Thank them for their inquiry. They can scream and leap that direction all they wish."

"Scream and leap Chmee Gnaw? This is the Planta after all. I shall send them thanks and wish them well on their encroach and overgrow."

"Nice touch. Your sense of humour will suit this office well."

"Thank you Chmee Gnaw."

My Lord,

It looks like our path to the other races are blocked by multitudes of ancients. The good news is the ancients are content to hold their systems versus the alien scum that have banished us to the dredges of the universe. Who knows how long before the balance of power will shift and we are forced to confront any aggressors. Fortunately it looks like there are minimal routes to our territories and we have also uncovered a resource heavy system but it is highly unstable. What course of action do you order?



Gnaw

Your summary of my situation looks to be accurate.

Getting a fresh map update ready. I'm making it wider. Between Twelve and Khell it's needing renovated.

I have a silly question but I don't want to get suckered again like last game. Those missiles that Twelve purchased, they are not available yet are they? They would be placed alongside the antimatter splitter.

You say there are only 3 tier 3 hexes left, does that mean there are only 4 or 5 explores including what has been discarded?
