For your next 5 year plan, you allocate your funds to build another improved AI server farm for cycles, a quarry for valuable building and construction materials, and finally a new underwater city on an oceanic planet, similar to the city of Myym, except instead of an entire planet it is merely an isolated single city. Still, the fact the city is under a large body of water gives it both easy access to moisture for conversion and for salt-water farming, as well as providing some limited amount of defense from kinetic bombardment. While only a single city, any fortification or deterrent for enemy attacks will put a greater population in the colonies in a safer position, no matter how minor, thus creating a slightly higher overall security gauge along with water. As with anything in leading a massive empire, tiny improvements and optimizations have a big impact overall.
To your surprise, you find Fim experimenting with multiple lanyards of his <span class="mu-s">profession</span> for his uniform around his neck. The orange of administration, more practical then the now retired gold color they once wore, he tries them on on different parts of his body.
<span class="mu-b">"Hey! Are you wearing a colored band?! You know what the traditional punishment for wearing a false reward band is, don't you?"</span>
<span class="mu-r">"Oh- please Master, everyone is doing this now."</span>
He's not necessarily wrong. Many in the Hegemony are adopting this new style. He wears the bands in different positions on his uniform, giving you a twirl to show off. He possesses the natural Jaxtian grace, but the slight way he had to shift his foot aside, too large and paddle-like to pirouette on the spot, gives you a great sense of irritation for some reason you can't explain. You yell at him to take that shit off.
