Emergency Distress signal transcript from the Orion Class Destroyer Vanguard VII

Start of Transmission.

End of Transmission.

The Drought

Over time, the Drought only got worse. Many Creatures died, unable to find food or water. There was no hope…

Lake A Becomes Dried-up Lakebed A

False Salamander: No extra food from eggs/endosymbiosis in temperate patches.

All creatures: -4 Sustainable population (increases each round)

The Fungus
The Fungus has now been partially reduced, now almost eradicated.

Fungus Health: 2/9 (-1 per round, -1 per immune system mutation)

The Fungus lowers your sustainable population depending on it’s health (9-7 is 3, 6-4 is 2, 3-1 is 1, 0 is 0)

Immune systems reduce The Fungus’s health, and reduces it’s damage to you by 1.

All creatures: -1 sustainable population.
