It seems that almost everyone has failed to arrive to the office this morning, it’s more or less empty. The only ones left are me and Goosecreature. He arrived an hour after me, but there's something wrong with him. His empty eyes just stares into the abyss, it's like he has seen something that took his soul and ripped it to shreds.

My searches of the premises has been unsuccessful, it's like people have just vanished into thin air.

I realize that will sooner or later run out of coffee. I need more time… Help must come… I'm the higher officer, shouldn't Goosecreature sacrifice himself and stick to drinking water? Or do I need to pull an “Old Yeller” on him?

No I can't, I can't be alone…

The palpable, desperate need of the human animal to be with his fellow man. Up there, up there in the vastness of space, in the void that is sky, up there is an enemy known as isolation. It sits there in the stars waiting, waiting with the patience of eons, forever waiting...
 
Nice update you got there.
Be a real damn shame if someone
RELEASED IT EARLY

Goosecreature: "Fire's got the temperature up all over the office. Won't last long though."

Zoft: "Neither will we."

Goosecreature: "How will we make it?"

Zoft: "Maybe we shouldn't?"

Goosecreature: "If you're worried about me..."

Zoft: "If we've got any surprises for each other, I don't think we're in much shape to do anything about it."

Goosecreature: "Well, what do we do?"

Zoft: "Why don't we just... wait here for a little while... see what happens."

I would not suggest anything but it would be the perfect moment to edit the save file of a game played on Tuesday to add some victory points...

I'm hoping that this means an Ichthyoid/Piscoid portrait DLC is being released alongside Banks. If it means that people will now be afraid to open the diplomacy screen in case they see a Street/Space Shark gurning back at them I'm all for it. :p

Also I agree with the people suggesting that this dev diary is probably a hint that Fallen Empire may now 'sublime' (essentially vanish/ascend to a higher plane of existence) seeing as this is the Banks patch and that's what tended to happen to the more ancient races in his Culture series. Either that or the Orz from Star Control have invited them to a *party*...
 
Here in Finland we have a tradition called "Pikkujoulu" (= something like "Small Christmas") - party. If you have something similar in Sweden, would it be a good time just now...

i see something about supply convoys and transports in that code on one of the screens at the back there so maybe FINALY some work being done on an actual economy in the game and a reason for pirates to exist rather than to wreck up orbital platforms.

Those poor guys. Just think of it. They aren't even valued enough as employees to go witht he rest of the team. What a burn.

They should quit their jobs and rob the place blind. Not to mention erase every hard drive and backup they can find. Maybe then they will get some respect.
