New World, New Home
by Samantha Bimbeaux
We all know the pains of moving from one house to another. Packing, hauling, driving, unpacking... It's a pain that most people would love to never experience. Picking up and moving across town is a chore, but across the galaxy?
That, my friends, is a nightmare.
It's not all bad, though. The change in living space often comes with myriad new experiences. New cultures and sights to see, alien flora and fauna to discover, it's an amazing and enriching experience! Eisa, the world I now call home, is one such place. It was only recently terraformed and colonized by the young conglomerate, Nanite Systems, and has all the feel of an offworld resort with the joy of home in one place.
Moving here has been a fine choice for me. The people are friendly, the city safe and pleasant, and the view? Amazing! If moving isn't in the cards, then at least take a vacation and relax. You'll be better for it.

explosion at NSMS; damaged police droid battery leads to colony evacuation; grey goo outbreak narrowly averted; dr. wright recovering in hospital
An explosion at Nanite Systems Medical Services, formerly Eisa General Hospital, rocked the colony yesterday as Dr. Wright, CTO of Nanite Systems, and DAX/2 LY-N13L, acting chief of NanoSec, were performing a CT scan on a robot that had recently arrived on the colony. KÖNIG, a HELIC caninoid unit produced for mixed personal defense and combat roles, arrived from an unknown port with damaged memories shortly before a bomb threat was made against the colony administrators. Sources close to Dr. Wright suggest smugglers at Botany Bay may be involved in this latest attempted attack on the company.
It appears the bomb threat is over: despite receiving a substantial dose of radiation from the malfunctioning CT scanner, Dr. Wright emerged mostly unscathed after its untimely detonation. The device had been embedded somewhere in the HELIC unit's chest cavity; remarkably, the robot itself survived the incident. A cleanup effort to remove the debris from the accident site was soon underway.
Another robot, however, was not so lucky: LY-N13L sustained a crack in its power cell, resulting in a twin nightmare: the risk of an unchecked nuclear criticality event and the uncontrollable spread of reaction maintenance nanites. An emergency evacuation of the colony was ordered, with ships as distant as the Kojima Industries Alhambra responding to transport colonists and robots to Eisa Station as quickly as possible.
After half an hour of feverish work in a bomb suit, Dr. Wright herself determined that there was no risk of criticality, but that the reaction nanites were in fact very active and posed a serious threat to the entire moon. Despite being exposed to the nanites directly, she was able to trigger a series of ultra-strong EMP blasts that effectively stopped the nanites in their tracks.
Dr. Wright was in critical condition in the remaining wards of NSMS for several hours last night, attended by Ms. Peluso and several medical units. She is now stable and recovering.
Until further notice, all medical emergencies should be directed to NS-304 Mochi for transit off-world. The NS Medical Services building has been deemed unsafe for further use and is scheduled for demolition in the coming months.

parties, parties... the event schedule
We have not one but two birthday celebrations this month, both of which will be fashioned into opportunities for dances, in soon-to-be-typical Eisan fashion:
| when | where | DJ | why | music
|
|---|
| Jan 23, 2 PM SLT | The Landing Pad | Dr. Wright | swing fever* | electroswing, fusion jazz
|
| Jan 29, 7 PM SLT | Wondaland | KSP-510 White Vaille | White's birthday! | contemporary EDM
|
*May be contagious.
In addition, our Jan 23 event will have a non-compulsory dress code encouraging all manner of 1920s glamor.
Update: Unfortunately, due to a series of scheduling conflicts, our Jan 16 party for s0si had to be cancelled. Hopefully we'll be able to arrange some action on Jan 23 to make up for it.

DIAGNOSIS
It's that time again. Join the NS and Eisa gang tomorrow (or, for most people, today) at 2 PM for our first event of November. Satellite monitoring detected a massive electromagnetic anomaly over the planet's southern hemisphere, far from the colony, and preliminary reports have detected some of the strangest geography we've ever witnessed, plus evidence of ruins. So, naturally, we're going to dance in them while the archaeologists get to work!
While science has seriously speculated on the existence of alien life for decades, and was validated in recent years by discoveries of microbial mats on distant worlds and finally plant life here on Eisa, we have never located evidence supporting the existence of alien creatures—with the exception of a certain tiny mermaid, whose origins we are unable to confirm or deny. The ruins aboard these islands present our first glimpse of what the universe might look like if the sky were not merely mankind's domain.

midnight sunrise
The cleaners are on the way to purge Eisa of the slime green menace that has plagued the colony for close to a month. In collaboration with Dr. MacKenna–Nakamura, NanoSec C-1 has produced a proprietary selenic acid compound, Se-RZ, that has proven effective at destroying the cuticles of Zooticarpita eisae, the unclassified mat-forming microbe that appears to be the product of military experimentation. The FBI are cooperating in our ongoing efforts to identify the laboratory and company that originated this pathogen.
Tests have shown that Se-RZ exposure has negligible long term effects for either Eisan or Terran organisms, and so we will be hosting a party out doors to celebrate the end of the Green Reign of the Green Rain.
Come down to April Voet Memorial Park tomorrow, Oct 31, from 2-5 PM SLT for music, dancing, and an excellent opportunity to reflect on all of the crazy things we done did this past month! The treasure hunt will also be officially ending, with most or all items in the hunt scheduled to become available in the store over the course of November, albeit in better and more polished forms. After the dance, we'll be hosting a Synchtube marathon, which may or may not be the start of a new regular tradition of streaming video—we'll see how that evolves as November carries on.
Important: The final shrine will not be unlocked until after the hunt items can no longer be found. If you want to unlock the special final item with your receipts, make sure you've found them all by 12 PM SLT on Oct 31, 2015. Here's a complete list of everything in the hunt:
- amy voice gestures 2
- rotomatic holosculpture

- slider telegadget (magina)
- NS logo bellyring
- instructor nanochip
- pleated ankle hovershoes

The shrine will stay open until Nov. 7.

Zootieland
The colony is overrun with slime green carpet, and the war for Eisa continues. Heavy losses on both sides have been reported following the recovery of shipments of flamethrowers, plasma pistols... and fabric cleaner.
Tomorrow, join us at the moderately more reasonable hour of 1:30 PM SLT in the newly-renovated Commune of the Zooties, on the north side of the Tier for a dance in celebration (or revilement) of our new self-spreading overlords. DAX/2 apr1l (998-73-0643) will be DJing!
In treasure hunt news, the release schedule has been progressing more slowly than expected, so we're pushing the timeline back. The hunt (and the Zootie Conquest) will continue until October 31st. Who will be victorious? Get in on the action and find out!

Halloween Hoe-Down/Day of the Zooties
Tonight: you! ...are going to listen to live music and begin to scour the land of Eisa Colony for treasure during the first night of Shampoolapalooza 2015! Every night we'll be adding more secret trinkets around the sim, waiting for those both wary and clever to find them. And stay tuned for the unveiling of our bonus feature, a turf war between the incorrigibly infectious carpet and the loyal, carpet-fearing folk of Eisa.
For those of you unfamiliar with the mysteries ways of the Zootie, you are highly encouraged to watch this mandatory training video. All the way through. No, seriously.
The dance—and the hunt—begins at 8 PM SLT, with live music by esteemed singer ProfessorShowbiz. Come down to the Landing Pad to get your groove on! Our treasure hunt will continue throughout the week, culminating in an exciting ceremony next Saturday during yes, another dance. Bi ghood!
