Aliastra, Serpents and Cows

In the last week I have managed to stockpile a nice size stash of the new Aliastra Thorax's, twenty four to be precise. On the subject of the Aliastra corporation, I have been working quite closely with them as of late and recently I organised an operation where a small contingent of ILF pilots and their allies flew the Aliastra colours while performing a scourge on local serpentis targets. This included (but was not solely) an attack on the Serpents Coil followed by a cleaning up of all Serpentis anomalies in the Vilinnon system.

Hopefully these new Thorax hulls will be put to a similar task though I have not decided as of yet what that task will be however I have got my hands on an Aliastra battleship hull which I'm hoping to use as a flagship.

I have also started researching the idea of some ways to boost economic growth in my home town, this will take the form of the introduction of a herd of livestock to populate the pastures on the towns outskirts. Although such an idea has been tried in the past, this time I am considering the use of genetically engineered livestock to improve the chances of success. In the past my brother and sister introduced a herd of cattle which ended up being infected by a rare jungle parasite, the parasite would decrease milk output and eventually kill the host.

A virus was eventually produced to kill the parasite but due to some unfortunate error in the genetic makeup the viral agent remained active in the parasite for a small time after its death, so the dead parasites would become poisonous to the livestock, needless to say this pretty much finished the remaining livestock off as the dead creatures would end up falling off into the feed fields. Many had also died from more common diseases as well.

Hopefully this time we shall have more success.
