Summary by Episode

Episode 1 "Lovin' Through Outer Space, Mass Effect Style"

We begin our journey on 11 of Aprimay, 5500. Commander Greg Goatlistened lands in ruins of an old colony, quickly grabs his rifle to defend himself from a group of 13 raiders. After a short exchange of fast moving greetings 2 still alive raiders decided to leave for their base, leaving 11 companions to fertilize the ground as an appology. Greg then scouts the ruins to see what he will be working with and uncovers an acient danger containing a single Geth Prime wielding M-76 Revenant. When the Geth fell, our Commander noticed his Omni Tool on the ground that must have detached from his arm when landing, now he's on the best road to technical magic.

1st of Jugust surprised Greg with a raid led by a naked woman named Breixos with a club. After taking her prisoner and tending to her wounds, he decides to recruit her into the colony. Inside of cryosleep pods in ancient danger Greg finds 3 still alive possible recruits, so(being the good guy after all) he decided to rescue them and offer them a place to stay. They refused, so Commander had to use more persuasive methods(and more medicine).

On 9th of Jugust Batarian Expatriates launch a 3 man raid on a still unnamed settlement. Results: As usual.

10th of Jugust finally brings a new colonist: Bluesteak Boris and an important choice: Settlement and Faction name which by default was Oulville of "Caen concord" faction. Boris became head of the construction team. Next day starts with raid from Salarian Settlers in which Greg captures a new possible recruit. Then Samuel Streamer(formerly Roll1D2Games) is witnessing the full research tree for the first time.

Episode 2 "Horniest Colony on the Rim"

We start by traditional "I've added a new mod": This time it is Rational Romance. Our eyes are also blessed with a new pyramid scheme: Muskrat(formerly Duell), freshly recruited colonist instantly tried recruiting another prisoner. Moments later the colony is on the edge of starvation and first stove is being built. Night between 14 and 15 of Jugust had everyone busy puking their insides out because of [Dirty cooking area]. Prisoners were not happy, but Cmd. Greg managed to recruit a male quarian, Flux Matshall with a promise of lovin'.

Septober greets us with first map-level threat: Mechhive landed on the planet and will be sending reinforcements to every mechanoid attack party if it's not destroyed. Second ancient danger of the colony had two insects and their hive. Next it was the Vorcha Tribes who used drop pods to ambush the colonists with a siege. Two of the initial 5 raiders survived and were taken prisoner. Muskrat recruited one of the earlier captives and Homeless joined the colony.

4th of Septober at the early morning hour of 2pm, 3 ungrateful prisoners made a very smart escape plan: attack their wardens. As it turns out bullets hurt and one of the Vorcha loses 65% of her only braincell. Rest of the prisoners remained pretty unharmed. Sam decided to let both Vorcha go to try and make peace with their faction.

On the 5th day of Septober storyteller sent to us: insects. Localised entirely in Bluesteak Boris' bedroom. The following day a quest appeared to help a member of the empire fight off a manhunting monkey. Labinia entered the map and instantly executed the monkey that was chasing her and reinforcing our suspicions that the empire is one big pyramid scheme. In the evening after the ceremony Sam finally remembered that he didn't open the cryptosleep caskets from the ancient danger. Inside there were 4 angry ancients. Cmd. Greg managed to capture one of them at the cost of Muskrat being shot by Flux. Homeless started fighting with infection in his left arm. Ben the Ancient did not survive his infections. The colony is struggling with the harsh early winter and most colonist to find any clothes to put decided to dig up the mass grave.

At the first hour of the 9th day J. Joris Jameson arrived at the colony, right before Cmd. Greg accepted an offer from a deserter who wanted to join. This resulted in a siege from the empire forces. The deserter introduces herself as Thekla 'Chadyles'
