Approval of second lives now delegated to each local conclave, down to the town/city level.OOC: Interesting point... You know that money the Syrrinx scientists thought they could use to live like kings in one life, and then buy a second life? Given that money has no connection to second lives any more, and that well, these people invented energy shields, what do you suppose the chances are that they won't be granted a second life? Far more likely, I think, that they and every other rich and accomplished Syrrinx will have the chance to live like kings in this and the next life.And, of course, that lower-income Syrrinx that do their jobs well now get to get second-lives, too. Overall, it looks like a good deal for the Syrrinx from my perspective.

With that statement came the strong implication that the price would remain the same - given the sovereignty of the corporation, and its partial ownership by an ally of the Diemawr, expecting a price-cut was quite unreasonable.

The Overseer is going have one **** of a fit though when the sensors do pick you guys up.IC [Empire/General]All throughout the Empire there was celebration; the great colonies New Llaf and New Lleh were at last comparable to Citamgine. On New Llaf the southern continents had been quelled, the volcanic activity turned to a minimum as settlements and industrial powerbases formed. The long sought after power in the planet's atmosphere was at last tapped into, massive power relays drawing on the solar radiation that had built up in it. On New Lleh the clear cut forests had been turned into fertile farm land, new populace allowing for even more factories and industrial complexes. The worlds were fully mature, filled to the brim with people.It was then the Natsirt colonization plan went into effect. Even as the TAP fleet began to rearrange itself to protect the Empire, all three worlds began work on colonizing fleets. Much of the fleet had to be dry docked, but this was fine, coinciding with the fleet upgrades. The Navy would be largely offline for the duration of the colonizing build up, but the TAP fleet would be ample protection.[imperium/General]A similar celebration was going on the other side of the sector, but unlike the Natsirt this was not met with colonization. It was met with the continuing buildup of the space navy; much decision making was done, and it was decided additional shipyards should be constructed over Ithaka, to aid in the continued buildup of the Imperium.To do their part in the continued defense of their ally, the Osalieli agreed to send one Sicarii and one Praetorian to 1-40, who had no standing fleet over it at the moment. OOCAdditional Shipyards begun on Ithaka; ETA January fifth. Forge worlds upgraded to homeworlds. All Natsirt fleet except one Homeworld drydocked.
