I am also cool for ignoring [@Pirouette] for now and make a quick escape. Also, are the Alliance just sitting outside our base, making their own? I guess the weakest faction in the game is going to go against one of the toughest.... Shit. I assume Nova's palace is kolonified but is it defensible in any way? I'm also thinking of dropping Nathaniel in somewhere over at Arcadia-2. Why? Because, even though he works for a chaotic evil organisation, he's still a good person and causes chaos in a [i]good[/i] way. Instead of absolutely slaughtering the masses until he gets transported elsewhere, he causes chaos in more subtler ways that usually leans towards the good guys favour. If you know what I mean.
