"I'll have ta consult some terraformers I know, and then do some extensive testing on the area we want to be looking at. And Re-survey it, do some projections, but tis a plan I can work on!" she said enthusiastically. "I'll be looking into what our options are, but is there anythin' you be thinking of in particular for an agricultural area? Just foodstuffs, or animals as well?"

If we could start growing and raising our own food, it would likely start getting out little part of the world on the map. I am sure our business owners and colonists grow tired of shipping in food at outrageous prices and certainly sick of the replicated stuff." Everett answered as he started to grow excited himself.

That'll actually be the tricky part but some careful surveying and soil analysis will help guide the amount of work that be needing doing. Factor in irrigation and you 'ave yerself farmland Governor. Who be the one I see about land acquisition and current surveying records?"

So far there is me, Chantal and we have a mediator, Megan Galaway, but she wouldn't handle things like records and such. I believe those are probably contained in these cabinents." Everett offered as he went to the far side of his office, opposite the window. There was a row of five very dusty filing cabinents and when Everett opened one up, a dancing group of dust went up in a cloud. "Uh, I don't think anyone has looked through the records for awhile."

: "Apparently so," Talia replied with a smirk. "If ye be wanting to do things properly, yer probably lookin' at 100-150 hectares o' land fer growing foodstuffs and then double that fer the livestock operation. Also factor in land space fer the community as well."

: The CSO sat back and pondered. "Are ya lookin' to join up the two domes? We could 'ave a causeway that bridges the two once the new be up and runnin'."

Suddenly, a security junior officer burst through the doors of the governor's office, out of breathe. "Sir!" he said quickly before stopping to catch his breath. "We...have...a slight...problem."
