-TEO Report on Drakon Base-

The winds are worse than expected. Seraphs are able to get down with not much but scratches and small holes, but all attempts to bring in Terminator's fleet have failed. Results include being cut in half, torn into small pieces, and used by the wind in the manner of a kite before being repeatedly slammed into the ocean. Further attempts have been shelved. However, we were able to salvage MCM silos, ammunition, various electrical supplies, and a few 2040 guns. One of our Cineres recently lost its left wingtip to a cloud, and maximum ceiling for 500m+ ships has been lowered by a great deal. Currently, construction is proceeding apace, and a outer perimeter has been constructed with some small powder-based weaponry. Mark V AAA guns have been set up as well, and groundbreaking for a antimatter reactor has begun. Experimental mineshafts have been placed (three in total) and have yielded quite the bounty of materials. Hostile wildlife has been encountered, including a curious creature that vaguely looks like a bullfrog and spits volatile acid that can burn through metal plating a inch thick and produces, when distilled properly, a excellent airburst shell payload. So far, we have not yet explored the entirety of our small island except for our 10km base area, so we are not fully aware of what else may exist. Oceans have proved bountiful, and various shellfish and such have been made into a remarkably efficient biofuel. Progress has been made on the 90% underground portion of the base, but unfortunately, cracking the dominant permafrost and ice has been slow going, even with heavy tunneling equipment and, every once in a while, direct bombardment from ships.
