Aeryn smiled "A man by my own soul. Well, let me make a small recap. Before the Gallic invasion, the planet was the main civilian point for the Republic. We build many settlements, fortified ones as we figured we may have to deal with occasional Outcast raid but it was something we didn't expected. The planet is having a few type of climate, but here on the equatorial belt is mostly tropical climate, going north a few degrees and we have something similar to steppe and alpine climate and afterwards is arctic. Using our Planetform knowledge, we developed settlements for all types and we build several, grouped in Colonies. At the moment we have finished on Borneo 17 Colonies composed on many Settlements, some small some big. There is a however in all of this. At that time, we expected to live here forever and we didn't foreseen the Gallic advancement, which made of a hasty retreat. Years passed and the Gauls didn't intend to occupy the planet fully, just use it as a depot. Slowly the nature took over again. Overall, all the colonies are either lost entirely, consumed by natural events or nature, or damaged. My plan was to fix and repair what can be salvaged." he stopped
"And here comes another biggie. You see, we just reclaimed this system and until now, the checks on all the other Colonies were done mostly by the Army and since they are not Engineers, their report is lacking a lot of information, which is why I have called the 53rd and wanted Nerva to come and do a survey, before we do anything."
He turned towards Nerva "When can you start, sir? Mister Richard Dean will be your 53rd colleague." and then he turned towards the Dragon "Sir, do you have any questions for me?"
