>>5852967A strange thing happens back in Lindheim, the development of the Speider Packs, a small version is soon developed, not for use, but for recreational purposes. These Små-Speider Packs cause a lot of enthusiasm among children and hobbyists, making elaborate constructs with all sorts of fantastical uses. With this, the Orms are becoming increasingly excited for space colonisation, even just for the prospect of living in Speider homes. There's even competitions to make Små-Speider colonies, about combining form and function.
>Action 1: Expand to Eldingheim (first explored system).Dragerige's shipwrights have constructed a number of logistical vessels, with grand ideas of transporting valuable freight and resupplying grand flotillas. However, with Orm enthusiams ablaze for colonization, they will be using this as a testing ground. Cruise ships carrying thousands of colonists, freighters bringing thousands of containers filled with Speider packs, packed densely thanks to being unassembled and of standardized sizes. Creating plenty of colonial communities out on the worlds, each pioneering their own constructs, finding which works and which are a waste of parts, but thankfully there are parts to waste. Though the outposts are soon clad in concrete casts, sourced from local minerals.
>Action 2: 2nd Arn Egilson Expedition, 2nd Leg (explore from last system and to south-southwest).As the Egilson crew packs their gear, despite the known rarity of significant discoveries, they are nevertheless disappointed. The explored system is called Ingrid, in honour of the first person to make a successful motorized flight. But Arn Egilson feels it not right to return just yet, and so transfers the supplies from his secondary ships and to his flagship, sending the secondaries back home while he ventures to the next system. Details are more hazy about this system, only 2 planets have been spotted, one gas giant and the other a terrestrial world with an eliptical orbit, and a strange surface composition. The flagship's telescopes themselves have noted something odd about that planet, that its surface is moving. Is it a planet of seas? Is it of extreme tectonic activity? Or is it something else? It's unlikely to just be clouds though.
