together with some other milk runs (5 total deaths) that made a pretty good month. started a 4th base in antarctica, why not. we could actually go to mars in about a week but i still think we'll wait until we have psionics. but we're in luck, ethereals will start appearing any dapic.twitter.com/uQdIzoY2Pv
