Wash me! Is it really five years since the last update?
These were a research-heavy half-decade: we've made great strides in life support, something that will more rapidly unlock our ability to colonise the nearest neighbours in the Mudballers home system. Also, our slowboat slowly moved a parsec away! We received a scan from the sector: entirely mud-free. We know there's another system several parsecs away, so we've asked it to keep on truckin'. 'Mud comes to those who wait', after all.
Also, we planned to build our first FTL ship but foolishly miscalculated (in our heads rather than on the spreadsheet we built for the purpose) the cost of research and ran out of capacity to complete it this turn. Next time!
We've also been receiving some odd message transmissions from a distant species: the Annelos. They appear to enjoy 'jumping' and refer to some great 'Brenda'. One hopes they have mud. Mud is awesome.
