| 09:21.46 | Liquid_Ink | Hello hello |
| 09:21.57 | Liquid_Ink | Finished off the Vermulan War summary, take a look |
| 09:22.17 | Liquid_Ink | I described the final battle in only summary detail, so we can iron out the details later |
| 09:22.32 | Liquid_Ink | Also want your approval and input on the aftermath |
| 09:25.53 | Liquid_Ink | Remember, you can freely edit it at your discretion |
| 09:31.04 | Wormy_ | All looks good to me, and it was very important to write how it seeded the conditions of GXS |
| 09:31.43 | Wormy_ | I might later add that the Vermulan wars also helped fuel the DCP's increasingly paranoid attempts to police the whole universe |
| 09:31.59 | Wormy_ | or were part of that trend |

| 09:32.11 | Ghelae | Hello. |
| 09:32.34 | Liquid_Ink | Whattup me homie? |
| 09:36.02 | Liquid_Ink | http://i.imgur.com/xGIPP17.png Wormy_: Prototype Magellanic Map |
| 09:36.32 | Liquid_Ink | What actually happened to the Mantisorac? I didn't close that particular plot point |
| 09:37.34 | Wormy_ | Oh wow, well done. Well, the Mantisorac spread out thin in the Milky Way and became a sporadic force until the new swarming event of Da Reckoning |
| 09:37.39 | *** join/#cyrannus ImpyDroid (~Anders@195.19.236.107) |
| 09:37.42 | Wormy_ | I'll link it |
| 09:38.46 | Wormy_ | There was an awesome confrontation between Loron and Mantisorac designed by Eclipsos http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Da_Reckoning/Da_Milky_Way_Front#Ants_against_Ants |
| 09:43.12 | Liquid_Ink | Wait, how did they get the Vampire crystal? |
| 09:44.13 | Wormy_ | That's one thing I never addressed, other than they stole it. Which could have been set in motion by Eclipsos |
| 09:46.10 | Liquid_Ink | I finished |
| 09:46.24 | Liquid_Ink | Now I understand. This takes place well after the Vermulan war |
| 09:46.56 | Wormy_ | Indeed, quite a few years |
| 09:47.29 | Liquid_Ink | Though I pcitured the crystal as literally exploding when the Vermulan spectro'd it, though I suppose we could interpret it different |
| 09:47.56 | Liquid_Ink | I mean I explicitly based it off the Xen sample from the original Half-Life, and that survived the cascade. |
| 09:48.29 | Wormy_ | Perhaps it fractured into shards? |
| 09:48.42 | Ghelae | Realistically, you'd take a small sample of the crystal to put it into a mass spectrometer, not the whole thing. |
| 09:49.30 | Liquid_Ink | Okay that makes sense |
| 09:50.24 | Wormy_ | Since the Vermulans were the one to take it, we probably need to work out how it or parts of it ended up in allied hands |
| 09:50.58 | Wormy_ | artifacts are easily lost in wars |
| 09:51.20 | Wormy_ | Like the amber room |
| 09:51.35 | Liquid_Ink | Oh that's easy, it was plundered when they swept back over the Vermulan territories for technology. |
| 09:57.13 | Liquid_Ink | The DSB really ought to have participated in this Loron War. |
| 09:57.24 | Liquid_Ink | But I didn't know it was happening. Whoops. |
| 09:58.16 | Wormy_ | Its unfinished, there's a chance to be involved |
| 09:58.53 | Liquid_Ink | Neaty neat |
| 09:59.05 | Liquid_Ink | Inform me of opportunities |
| 10:00.05 | Wormy_ | I'd ask Techno |
| 10:02.40 | Liquid_Ink | As in you'd ask or I should ask? |
| 10:08.25 | Wormy_ | I can, or you can |
| 10:08.48 | Wormy_ | Right, I'm off for a day of revision. |
| 10:08.52 | Wormy_ | bbl |
| 10:13.20 | Liquid_Ink | Gah |
| 10:15.57 | Liquid_Ink | The Milky Way map gives the DSB a random chunk of territory floating near the Draconid trade route |
| 10:17.03 | Ghelae | Yes, it does. |
| 10:17.20 | Liquid_Ink | This itrigues me. |
| 10:17.24 | Liquid_Ink | *intriges |
| 10:17.37 | Liquid_Ink | I hate that word so much |
| 10:17.44 | Liquid_Ink | Why can't it be spelled easily? |
| 10:17.56 | Liquid_Ink | *spelt |
| 10:18.00 | Liquid_Ink | Bloody Americans |
| 10:19.23 | Ghelae | Clearly, when Charles made the map back in 2014, he was under the impression that the DSB had territory outside their main region. |
| 10:19.53 | Liquid_Ink | I'm not opposed to the idea. I'm happy to own it. |
| 10:22.42 | Liquid_Ink | I just wonder what could be there is all |
| 10:23.01 | Ghelae | You could ask Charles to see if he remembers. |
| 10:23.25 | Liquid_Ink | I don't think he draw it in with a specific location in mind |
| 10:23.39 | Liquid_Ink | I imagine he was giving me access to that trade route |
| 10:23.42 | Ghelae | He might have just copied it from that blog I made, in which case the question would be why the DSB were listed as having territory in two different sectors there. |
| 10:24.05 | Ghelae | Or, yes, he could have been giving you access to that trade route. |
| 10:25.48 | Ghelae | Except http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/File:Milky_Way_Political_Map.png had the DSB there before the routes were added. |
| 10:26.01 | Ghelae | Here's the first one, Feb 2014: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/b/b9/Milky_Way_Political_Map.png/revision/20140401050315 |
| 10:26.20 | Liquid_Ink | Hmm. |
| 10:29.51 | Liquid_Ink | I've mentioned that the DSB mostly just expands by accepting new members, that's probably a former empire that had a socialist revolution |
| 10:41.26 | Ghelae | That makes sense. |
| 10:41.39 | Liquid_Ink | Aircraft need that generally pointy shape to pass the sound barrier, don't they? |
| 10:42.07 | Ghelae | It helps to be aerodynamic, yes. :P |
| 10:44.59 | Ghelae | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design |
| 10:46.33 | Liquid_Ink | Could futuristic civilisations in the sporewiki verse have cone shaped magnetic fields that preclude the need for such a shape? |
| 10:48.38 | Ghelae | I don't think magnetic fields that are strong enough to magnetise and deflect air would be very useful. |
| 10:48.43 | Ghelae | gtg |
| 10:48.50 | Liquid_Ink | Bye |
