Round 54 - 12:00, May 9th, 2000
Round Summary
This day’s UN emergency meeting was nothing like what the organization has seen since the old days of the cold war when a war of the atom was within the grasp of plausibility. The ACC signatory units have shown concrete evidence that the Formic Union had some heinous acts done on the local humans within the country of ants, leading to much outrage at the council of all the nations. There and then ACC leaders proposed for this “illegal” state to be removed and the old order in central america to be restored. Plans are underway for some kind of intervention certainly at this point and more countries are joining ACC en masse, with the full extent of the damage this hearing has done to the FU’s reputation only coming up in the evening…
The Organism Report
It’s been some time since the limbs of TO, still most important of those being the ant legs have received an upgrade. This one however did not so much implicate itself in the structure or strength of those outcrops, instead focusing on a much different aspect of a well functioning limb - it’s network of neurons. Hidden towards the center of the body on all second segments are now located neural grabbers that can link up with one another, allowing for the easy creation of neurally interconnected ants. They do seem to take a while to link up though (+50 ME)…
The frontier above is still just barely out of reach of the land wasps, and as so there investment into the space ants has also occurred. The nozzles of the once spiracles of those high altitude formids have been given an even better, gyroscopic movement capability, allowing for better maneauvering (+75 MH, +25 ME, @Trappist-1e is given a normal extra mutation). Some movements need to be more delicate however. A part of the astro-ants exoskeleton has become elastic and filled with air, with some holes that can be opened and closed allowing those compartiments to be the basis for the most precise of movements when compared to the main engines of these “rockets” (+75 MH, +25 ME).
Speaking within the networks allowed by the neural grabbers, TO has queried some of the best ant researchers out there on how could it improve it’s research techniques even more. However with how good they already are, it was hard for them to come up with anything new to make them even better. One researcher proposed to incorporate certain not yet explored human research techniques into the set, and so this piece of labor was not left fruitless (1/3 chance to reroll research rolls of 2).
The tower was the next goal of the ant, and perhaps stimulated by the news of the humans speaking outloud about it’s atrocities, TO was incredibly determined this particular shift on it’s task. Being within half a kilometer of the stability limit for the living spire, it can be felt that some physical limits are soon to be reached (+275 meters)…
Ontop of the tower TO and it’s fellow space ant squadrons have been training till the sun started slowly heading towards a set. It’s almost like they are preparing for some large action very soon… (Elite SAs) Unexpectedly during this training a mutation developed that ended up modifying the armor of those celestial ants into being even better suited for space exploration, making those ants even more like living rockets than they already were… (+100 MH, Spacesuited Spaceants).
Influence Report
With the expansion into space already happening and in need of better maintainment, some diplomats, most usually rather freshly spawned upon this world, have decided to found the FUSA, Formic Union Space Agency, which will help TO in it’s goals of reaching the stars (FUSA founded, 1/2 chance to reroll space ant action related rolls of 1).
The ACC speech at the UN HQ has caused quite the bit of an headache for the diplomats, causing them to go into damage control mode, trying to convince the most gullible partners that the council opposing them speaks lies. With them focused on that, it is at the moment hard to say to what extent has ants’ grip slipped from the world around…
RESULTS
+100 ME, +250 MH, 1/3 chance to reroll research rolls of 2, +275 tower meters, Spacesuited Spaceants, Elite SAs, FUSA founded, 1/2 chance to reroll space ant action related rolls of 1
