BROADCAST FROM G.A. 8952: STAKING MY CLAIM
Date: March 24, 2022 (G.A. 8952) Current Zodiac: The Year of the Tiger Status: Backed & Committed.
THE OLD MAPS ARE BURNED. It’s been a long, hard road since the "Great Tremor" of 2020 and the fall of the Old Republic last year. The corporate Snakes have taken over the old territories, locking away the games and worlds we used to call home. We’ve been drifting in the void, looking for a signal.
Yesterday, we got one.
THE BEACON IS LIT. The architects, Ken St. Andre and Steve Crompton, have activated a new beacon. They are calling it "The Monsterary of Zimrala."
They say it's a book of monsters. I say it's a lifeboat. It’s a brand new planet, untainted by the recent buyouts, where the "monsters" can finally be free.
I didn't hesitate. I pledged my credits immediately. The Manticore crew is going to Zimrala.
THE YEAR OF THE TIGER FORCE. But just landing isn't enough. We can't be tenants on this new world; we need to be owners.
Steve just announced a new protocol in Update #1: "Pick Your Island." For a $23 "Add-On" fee, we can secure legal title to territory on the planet's surface.
I am looking at the starcharts now. There is an archipelago in the southern hemisphere—jungle terrain, isolated, defensible. Perfect.
It is 2022: The Year of the Tiger. It’s destiny.
I am securing the funds now. I am buying those islands. They will be the future headquarters of the Tiger Force. From this day forward, let that territory be known as The Tygerian Isles.
We have a destination, Captains. The Escape to Zimrala has begun.
END TRANSMISSION.
