Because the Alphas were the product of experimental genetic manipulation rather than natural evolution, it is believed that their genes are less robust than true human beings, and they are almost unable to have viable offspring without access to special technology. Therefore, most Alpha enclaves that have been discovered since the War have had very small populations, no more than a few dozen.` - ` In these days when the Navy ensures peace throughout much of the galaxy, on many worlds the Alphas are treated as nothing more than a bogeyman story to frighten children.

My home town is under thirty meters of glacier by now."` - choice - ` "Was anyone killed?"` - ` "How did you escape?"` - - ` "The eruption was on the other continent," she explains, "so no one was killed in the blast. It was a slow-moving disaster. We had six months or so to move two million settlers off-world before the temperatures would drop too low to be livable. More than half of the Navy was mobilized to ferry our people to other planets."` - ` "Here's the best part," says Eyes. "The Navy operates with a certain amount of autonomy. Turns out when they found out about the disaster, they mobilized without even waiting to clear it with Parliament. Which was technically within their mandate, this being a natural disaster. But the Navy is funded by taxes, and the Paradise Planets pay ten times as much in taxes as the Dirt Belt."` - ` "The Paradise Planets viewed the Navy as their own private security force," says Katya, "so they got really mad when half the Navy suddenly vanished to assist some dirty refugees. Because those admirals gave the order to assist us, millions of lives were saved. And then Parliament fired them."` - choice - ` "You're making the Navy sound like heroes. I thought they were your enemies."` - ` "You've almost convinced me to join the Navy."` - - ` "Our fight isn't with the Navy," says Katya. "Most of them are good people.

"A paradise world. I would listen to the news and could never understand why all the adults around me were so very, very angry that the Navy had gone off to rescue two million people from freezing to death. But they told me that we lived in one little island of safety in a dangerous galaxy, and that without the Navy protecting us the pirates or even maybe aliens would sweep in and destroy our homes and take our money.

"Now," she says, "tell me your story."` - ` "My name is Sawyer," says the man. "I'm a physicist, a Syndicate employee. We had a secret project on Mutiny, a planet in a pirate system. We were developing nuclear weapons." He hesitates, and looks away for a second, then says, "They told me it was for fighting the pirates.

But its predictions remained the same. Then we learned from our contacts in Parliament about the Southern Defense Pact, and the fear that they were about to declare independence. So we asked the Oracle what would happen if war broke out."` - ` "You started a war... to save the economy?" says Danforth. He sounds disgusted.` - ` Alastair nods.

It obscures a ship not just from the visible spectrum, but from radar as well, and every other sensor we've tested except for gravitational ones. I'm certain it would hide you from the tracking systems on the nukes."` - ` Freya says, "But it would only hide one ship.

You keep swapping stories for hours, until the bar is ready to close.` + ` You thank her for the drinks, and get ready to say your goodbyes.` + ` "Oh wait, before you go Captain, let me give you something," she says, right as you're about to head to your ship. She grabs a small pendant from her pocket. "Back home in Giverstone, when I had some free time from the mining works, I took a hobby of sculpting some small stones into ship miniatures. I thought it'd be nice to make this for you in case I saw you again." She gives you the pendant, which has been sculpted into a Hai Shield Beetle. It is extremely well made, with different surface textures representing the different parts of the Shield Beetle. "It's just a good-luck charm I thought you'd like. Thanks again Captain!" You two part ways, and head back to your ships.` + decline diff -Nru "/tmp/tmpmwamXu/uCx3HgThGK/endless-sky-0.9.11/data/hai/hai news.txt" "/tmp/tmpmwamXu/_CbO4AD42U/endless-sky-0.9.12/data/hai/hai news.txt" --- "/tmp/tmpmwamXu/uCx3HgThGK/endless-sky-0.9.11/data/hai/hai news.txt" 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000000000 +0000 +++ "/tmp/tmpmwamXu/_CbO4AD42U/endless-sky-0.9.12/data/hai/hai news.txt" 2020-05-01 19:02:38.000000000 +0000 @@ -0,0 +1,247 @@ +# Copyright (c) 2020 by Nomadic Volcano +# Based on earlier text copyright (c) 2017 by Michael Zahniser +# +# Endless Sky is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the +# terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software +# Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. +# +# Endless Sky is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY +# WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A +# PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Are you not even old enough to remember how a supereruption on Hope caused the evacuation of the entire planet? If the people of Tundra are this desperate to terraform their planet then normal techniques should be employed, none of this 'equilibrium mapping' nonsense."` + ` "Sir," Amy speaks up with a stern tone of voice, "we have already been authorized by the Republic to undergo this terraforming experiment, so unless you have half a teraton of cheap explosives, we're going to need to use an asteroid.

We found many of their 'shells' in our planets, crashed there thousands or even tens of thousands of years before our arrival, but with some tech so advanced to still be conserved enough to be reverse engineered.` - ` "Then," she continues, "a few hundred years ago, a scout fleet arrived in a system where some Ka'het were still alive, which attacked the Remnant almost instantly and before they could activate the cloak some EMPs had already disabled two Starlings. They couldn't recover soon enough to survive, and the only remaining ship could do nothing but flee here as soon as possible."` - choice - ` "Which technology did you recover from the crashed Ka'het?"` - goto tech - ` "Wait, why did you call them 'shells' and not ships?"` - goto shells - ` "Have the Ka'het ever attacked the Remnant planets?"` - ` "Actually, we never met any Ka'het in the Ember Waste at all.

They attack any visitors to their region of space, including the Quarg.` - fail - -event "label korath space" - galaxy "label korath" - sprite "label/korath" diff -Nru "/tmp/tmpmwamXu/uCx3HgThGK/endless-sky-0.9.11/data/korath outfits.txt" "/tmp/tmpmwamXu/_CbO4AD42U/endless-sky-0.9.12/data/korath outfits.txt" --- "/tmp/tmpmwamXu/uCx3HgThGK/endless-sky-0.9.11/data/korath outfits.txt" 2020-02-24 15:50:12.000000000 +0000 +++ "/tmp/tmpmwamXu/_CbO4AD42U/endless-sky-0.9.12/data/korath outfits.txt" 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000000000 +0000 @@ -1,334 +0,0 @@ -# Copyright (c) 2016 by Michael Zahniser -# -# Endless Sky is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the -# terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software -# Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. -# -# Endless Sky is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY -# WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A -# PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

The architecture is truly alien: uncomfortably tall ceilings, strange colors, and walls that never quite seem to meet at right angles. The Quarg themselves are equally strange, towering above you, some nearly three meters tall. Their legs bend backwards at the bottom, like a dog walking on its hind feet, and they move gracefully and almost silently.` - ` Most of the Quarg you see are dressed entirely in shades of grey, or only slight hints of color. Quarg fashion seems to revolve not around color, but texture: coarse and fine woven fabrics, patterns like lizard scales or cobblestones, and occasional decorative fringes of sponge-like material. Their skin is deep grey, sometimes with a hint of green or blue or brown beneath it, with a fine scale pattern like a reptile. But what makes their eyes startling is that they look very human, except that some of them have gold or violet irises instead of green or blue or brown. They have no hair, but many are wearing small cloth caps or hoods.` - ` One of the Quarg notices you gawking at them and walks over. It squats down on its haunches so that its eyes are level with your own, and says, "Hello."

Are you what is called a tourist?"` - choice - ` "Yes."` - ` "No, I'm a merchant captain, I'm here to buy and sell cargo."` - ` "I see." The Quarg blinks slowly.

And some reshape the galaxy at will.

Our species began on the moon of a great gas giant, on a planet most small, that gathered about itself very little air. We cannot step many steps on the worlds that the Hai, the Korath, the other species desire. And the worlds like our home, you could not breathe their so thin air, for our lungs are very subtle. And we are an old race, and do not kill for sport or whimsy, so the Drak gave us the gift, that we may go among the other races and settle where we please, and make friends of all, because none dare be our enemy."` - choice - ` "Who are the Drak?"` - goto drak - ` "Why do none dare to be your enemy?"` - - ` "Because we are very strong, and because we speak with the Drak."` - choice - ` "Who are the Drak?"` - - label drak - ` "The Drak are the eldest living.

And they hold the secret of travel beyond those pathways, and give the secret only to a worthy few, so that peace may prevail." It taps its chest with one hand, signaling that the Quarg are among those few.` - ` "Not that the Drak are strangers to war. Planets and moons and even stars were consumed in their wars and are no more. But then they learned wisdom, and have fought no more wars, many millions of human years. They live nearby, but they keep to themselves, and intervene in the affairs of other races only to prevent their destruction or the use of obscene technologies of war."` - choice - ` "We humans have used some rather destructive weapons against each other, and no alien species ever stepped in to put a stop to it."` - ` "Well, I hope we never do anything bad enough to force them to intervene."` - goto closing - - ` "You have done what? Awakened the atom? There are weapons far worse than that. Consuming planets. Snuffing out stars. Tearing the flesh of space and time itself. Weapons of chaos I pray your reckless race cannot yet even conceive of. These things will attract the attention of the Drak, because they nearly destroyed this galaxy once, and must not be allowed to do so again."` - choice - ` "Well, if there are technologies that dangerous out there, I hope the Drak do continue to succeed in keeping them from being used."` - - label closing - ` "I hope so too, human."

And in what way will this warm the planet when the resulting volcanic winter could last decades and only result in an even colder climate? Are you not even old enough to remember how a supereruption on Hope caused the evacuation of the entire planet? If the people of Tundra are this desperate to terraform their planet then normal techniques should be employed, none of this 'equilibrium mapping' nonsense."` - ` "Sir," Amy speaks up with a stern tone of voice, "we have already been authorized by the Republic to undergo this terraforming experiment, so unless you have half a teraton of cheap explosives, we're going to need to use an asteroid. The volcanic winter can be easily avoided by having a fleet of freighters sweep the volcanic ash out of the atmosphere, meaning we'll get the benefits of the greenhouse gases without the detriments of volcanic ash reflecting Cebalrai's heat back into space.
