I think Ill come into town over that nice new bridge today and see a movie at the mall. The update was great. Im interested to see how the freeway tunnel turns out.

This is great! It had me laughing. Cant wait to see whats next.

http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/chapter3title.jpg> Maria was pacing back and forth. I cant believe you! I am so furious right now I could kill you! Be happy we escaped with our lives. If it hadn't been for my piloting skills we would've been killed. Cliff said surveying the destruction. On the bright side the replicator seems to be functioning still. I can't say for how much longer. We should be able to replicate some of these peoples currency and see if we can find some supplies to fix this mess. Maybe I could buy a date too seeing as were going to be stuck here for a while. All our work ruined, and its all your fault. At a time like this you can still think of girls! Your insane! I can't take it anymore! Maria screamed as she charged swinging toward Cliff, knocking him backward. As they hit the ground Cliff heard a rustling in the bushes. Wait... listen. Something is coming. Hide quick. They both scrambled to their feet and ran behind the bushes on the other side of the clearing. Farah emerged from the trees. I swear I just heard someone yell. she said looking around the area. Keele stumbled into the clearing behind her. I thought I did too, but that's impossible. No one lives anywhere around here. Reid approached the crater peering inside. Wisps of smoke still came from the rubble inside it. I wonder what this was. Whatever it was, its toast now. This is very interesting, it looks like a large amount of metallic material. I'm going inside to look at it. Keele said excitedly as he climbed into the crater. Reid rolled his eyes. Its just junk. Ill wait up here. Farah climbed into the crater behind Keele. I want a souvenir to take back and show everyone. Cliff and Maria were huddled in the bushes watching the three pick at the ruins of their ship. Maria leaned over a little to get a better view. We should stop them before they find something they shouldn't have, or before they hurt themselves. It's a good thing part of our research was learning their language. Cliff shrugged. Oh all right, if you insist. They both came out of the bushes and walked toward the edge of the crater. Hello down there! Maria called into the crater. The three were startled when they turned around to see two strangers behind them. Who the heck are you? Keele asked. Cliff and Maria introduced themselves and quickly wove together a tale about them being sent to explore this area of land and how they had happened to see the thing falling out of the sky and came to investigate. Farah and Reid were convinced by the story, but Keele was not buying it. Who sent you to explore this area again? Maria had to think fast. Were from that one city, the one far to the east. They sent us. King City? or Imperial City? Too late, Keele fell for it and gave her the names she was looking for. Yea... King City that's it. Its lucky for us that you three came along when you did. Our ship... err... boat was damaged a few days back and we lost most of our supplies. Farah was happy to offer any kind of help. Your in luck then, a ferry from King City comes out to our island twice a week. Its due in tomorrow morning. You can come back to Rasheans and stay with us until the ferry comes. Well that's awfully nice of you three. Maria, why don't you go on ahead with them and I'll be right there. Cliff said with a wink. Maria understood. She hurried on ahead and had Farah, Keele, and Reid following right behind. Well this ought to be fun. Cliff whispered to himself as he climbed down into the crater. Cliff reached them just as they got to the boat. He slipped Maria a hefty wad of cash (for this planet at least) while the others weren't looking. Luckily the boat had extra oars in it so the trip back was much faster. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/rasheanstitle.jpg> http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/RasheansIsland.jpg> When the island came into view Maria made a comment on the vegetation. Keele informed her that their island had very unique trees and plants living on it. The most impressive was the King Palm, said to be the biggest palm tree in the world. They grew everywhere on the island. In the rockier areas of the island a special type of pine tree grew, the Sugar Pine. The sap was delicious and could be made into any number of sweet treats. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/treetype.jpg> As they entered the bay Keele pointed out the Rasheans lighthouse. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/lighthouse.jpg> Farah was eager to show the new arrivals around Rasheans and was quick to point out anything she thought would be interesting to them. After returning the boat to the dock she pointed out the hill with the tower where they met each day. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/Toweronhill.JPG> They quickly approached the central area of Rasheans. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/citycentral.jpg> Keele showed them the town church, and the government office where his father worked as mayor of Rasheans. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/churchgov.jpg> They showed Maria and Cliff the ferry terminal where they would catch the ferry at. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/ferry.jpg> Before leaving the central area of town, Keele showed them the library where he spent most of his time. It's more like ALL of your time Keele! Farah giggled. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/library.jpg> Reid showed them the town recycling area where the island recycled 95% of its waste. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/recycle.jpg> At the end of the road near the recycling center was Reid's house. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/reidshouse.jpg> The next stop was Keele's house. His father being the mayor, they had the nicest house on the island. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/keeleshouse.jpg> The sun was beginning to set as they made their way to the southern part of the island where Farah lived. She pointed out the fields her family owned along the way to her house. First was her grandfather's cow pasture. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/grandfathercow.jpg> Next they passed her uncle's melon farm. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/unclemelons.jpg> Farah's parents owned a corn field. By the time that they arrived at her house it was almost dark. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/farahshouse.jpg> Farah offered to let the two stay at her house until the morning when the ferry came. They graciously accepted and went along with her while Keele and Reid returned to their homes. The next morning at the ferry pier, Farah and Reid had come to see Cliff and Maria off. Keele was no where to be found. Thank you very much for letting us stay with you, and for the tour. Maria shouted down from the ferry. Farah waved up at them. Anytime! It was fun having you, come back soon. With a loud blast of the horn, the ferry pulled away from the dock and headed out into the ocean. Alone on the top deck, Cliff and Maria watched the island of Rasheans grow smaller and smaller. Those kids sure were nice. Yea that was fun. Maria's smile faded I hated having to lie to them though. Why whatever could you be lying about? came a sarcastic voice from behind them. They both turned at the same time to see Keele standing with his arms folded glaring at them. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter3/tobecontinued.jpg>

Wow! Im sorry I havent made it back to Goldenrod Plains as much as I would have liked. The region has grown so much! I love the park areas, the national park is incredible! Also, I like how you show some of the terraforming that goes on before showing the finished product. The night shot Goldenrod City is awesome. Ill be back more often for sure!

Ive been so busy with other stuff I havent checked in on SunValley lately. Shame on me... I really like the university and especially the theme park. I want to go on those water slides! Also, I'm glad option 2 won on the bridge. It looks the best to me. Good work!

http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter2/chapter2title.jpg> It was already past noon, he was going to be late again. He wondered would it even matter? Its not like it was important. It would just be an excuse for them to yell at him. He stopped running. They met there almost every day to chat and pass the time. It had become a routine thing, mostly since there wasn't anything else to do around the island. Often he lost track of time when he went to the library, he spent most of his time there. He loved learning new things, he hungered for knowledge. He had read nearly every book in the library. There probably wasn't anyone smarter around, although no one really had the desire to be. He was almost to the top of the hill. The tower came into view between the trees. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter2/RasheansTower.jpg> Keele! Your late again, get up here! Reid yelled. Sorry! Be right there! Keele climbed up the tower to meet his friends. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter2/3friends.JPG> Farah was glaring at him as he made it up to the top. It's about time. she said. Reid was leaning over the edge watching the ocean. Keele was finally able to catch his breath. I'm sorry, I was reading a new book I found. It was about... Reid cut him off, When are you going to learn Keele, we don't want to know about all your books. I'm sorry your not interested in learning anything, but some of us want to learn new things and maybe make something of ourselve's one day. Some of us? Sorry to burst your bubble, but your the only one I know that would. Reid mocked. Keele didn't press the subject anymore. Yeah I guess your right. I never do see anyone else in the library. Since Mrs. Flajen died three years ago no one has been teaching any of the kids at the school either. What has happened to this place. Everyone is lazy. They only do enough to get along. My mother said that most of the parents decided just to teach their kids what they needed to know so the could work on the farms. Farah said. Keele sighed. This place has turned into the pits. I'll have to agree with you there, It never used to be this boring around here. Remember when we were young? Our little island was a whole lot of fun back then. Reid smiled at some of the old memories. I wish something exciting would happen. Farah and Keele walked over to the edge of the tower to look out at the ocean, at the land just before the horizon. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter2/coastline.jpg> I wonder what's over there. Farah thought out loud. We should take a trip over there and explore it one day. Reid let out a little laugh. No thanks. That's too much work rowing over there. Your just lazy. she said. Everyone was silent for a while, lost in though. Keele noticed something strange on the horizon. Do you guys see that thing near the horizon, above the land? I see it. Look how it seems to shine in the light, it looks like a ball of metal. I've never seen anything like it before. Farah said. Oh wow! Its heading up into the clouds. Reid watched the object move across the sky. Wow look at that thing go! The strange metallic object shot up from the ground, fast at first, but then it began to slow down the higher it went. Keele looked up at the trail of smoke. Wait! Its coming back down. What could it be? http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter2/fallingstar.jpg> Even this far away, a distant explosion could be heard across the water. A small cloud of smoke rose into the sky where the object had fallen. Reid leaned over the rail using his hand to shield the sun. Wow, it fell just across on the other side. I wonder what it was. It looked metallic and shiny. Lets go check it out. Keele said excitedly. Reid rolled his eyes. No way, I just said its too much work to row over there remember. Come on Reid, this is the most exciting thing that's happened in... well... since I can remember. Please lets go see what it is. Farah whined. Looking from one to the other Reid shrugged. Well I guess we can go take a look. If all of us row it shouldn't be too bad I suppose. Woo Hoo! Keele shouted. Farah made for the stairway first. Lets go The three went back down to the bottom of the hill, to the fishing dock and borrowed one of the rowboats. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter2/Fishingdock.jpg> They maneuvered around the north tip of the island and headed over to the mainland, to see what fell from the sky. The row over proved to be less difficult than expected and after a couple of hours they were pulling the boat up on the beach. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter2/coastlanding.jpg> Which way do we head? Farah asked. We follow that trail of smoke in the sky. Its not a windy day so it should still lead us to the general area of the crash. Keele replied. Ok, lets go. They walked in silence through the densely wooded forest. After a while they began to smell smoke. Were getting close Keele said quietly. Shortly after that they came to a downward slope in the land. At the bottom they saw a crater about 20 feet in diameter. A small trail of smoke climbed into the air out of the crater. Farah looked around nervously. Are you sure this is wise, it might be dangerous down there. Reid pushed his way to the front. We didn't come all this way for nothing, lets go. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter2/tobecontinued.jpg>

http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter1/Chapter1title.jpg> Out on the furthest edges of the universe is a place knows as the Arcadia Galaxy. This galaxy is full of intelligent life forms, many of which have advanced technology that allows them to travel throughout the universe. On the Arcadian Homeworld an effort is underway to find and study any type of life in the universe. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter1/ArcadiaHomeworld.jpg> Of course, the universe is vast and it will take many scientists and researchers centuries to catalogue everything they find. Fortunately the pay is extremely well and there are plenty of people willing to go on these missions, even if it means being away for several decades. When life forms were detected on the planet Elicoor, out on the far side of the Kalium Galaxy, two top level scientists were sent right away. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter1/Scientists.jpg> Little did they know that the life forms were an intelligent race of humanoids. That alone added at least twenty years onto their expedition. The life forms were primitive in the fact that they had no advanced technology. This meant they had to remain in orbit and study the planet from above. The population of the planet was relatively low and the people lived sporadically across it. They were intelligent, however they lacked motivation and still lived in conditions that they should have evolved past by now. The whole population seemed to be incredibly lazy. After 37 years of researching the planet and studying the population, they began to prepare for the journey home with their findings. That's where we begin our story... http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter1/SpaceOrbit.jpg> Maria was looking out the window, down at Elicoor Even though I'm anxious to get home, I sure will miss this planet. Hmph... I just cant wait to be out of here. Were going to have one fat check waiting for us having been gone this long. Maria came back to her seat. Its all about the money for you isn't it Cliff. Yup. It was more exciting in the beginning, but weve been out here for 37 years! The computer alert sounded : ! Volcanic event beginning in sector 65-A ! Oh interesting. That volcano we've been watching recently looks like it might finally erupt. Cliff pulled up the information on the monitor. The planet wants to see us off. Lets swing down by the volcano on the way out. This is one thing Id like to see. Id rather watch it from the screen, if anyone found out we went down near the surface we'd be in serious trouble. Bah, come on, have some fun. Were on the outer edge of the galaxy here, not to mention that volcano is in an uninhabited area. Come on have some fun Maria. Oh all right. I guess it wouldn't hurt. Just keep us back a ways, these are really unpredictable readings the volcano is giving right now. With that Cliff took control of the ship and started the descent into the atmosphere... We're nearing the volcano. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter1/RegionView.jpg> That doesn't look like much of an eruption to me, just some steam. Cliff sounded disappointed. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter1/volcano1.jpg> From the readings I'm getting there is a lot of pressure building down there. This thing could blow at any moment, we shouldn't be this close. Maria warned. Well if it starts to get nasty ill take us higher. Its just steaming right now. This ship can.... oh wait.... look at that! Here we go! Maria looked over Get us away now! The ship can withstand the heat no problem. This is a once in a lifetime... With a deafening roar, the sky went dark and the ship swayed violently. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter1/volcano.jpg> Red lights came on across all the computer screens. ! Red Alert ! The computer screamed at them over and over. Damn it Cliff, look what you've done. You were way too close, that rock that hit us must have been 80ft around. It looks like it hit the lower right deck and damaged the engine. We need to get back into orbit asap so we can fix it! Cliff was frantically pressing buttons on the console. I'm working on it, shut up and let me concentrate. The ship began making loud groaning noises as it strained to follow Cliffs commands. Were losing power... were not going to break the atmosphere. Maria whispered. She couldn't believe what was happening. We will make it... strap yourself in. We can't make it, were going to crash. After all our decades of long work, it all ends like this. All because of your... Just as they were about to break the atmosphere, there was a loud thud on the lower deck and ship began to tilt back toward the surface. Shut up and hold on! Were going to crash, Ill try and keep us in one piece. http://spicychipmunk.net/simcity/TOE/chapter1/tobecontinued.jpg>

This is the most incredible thing ever! Im speechless... Those redwood trees blow my mind!

Absolutely amazing! [:0]

Spectacular update bobinator! My favorite was the mining area and the waterfalls.

Excellent terraforming jacqulina! Im loving that waterfall.

Your region is great MayorTim! I especially like the airport out in the middle of the river. The way you did it is perfect. Your suburbs are also very good. One of my favorite pictures so far was of downtown Klondike City at night on page 1. Awesome CJ
