"I am pleased to report..." a man in a white lab-coat was sitting in front of a desk in the office of First Lord Ogg, "...that we have made a marked increase in the speed at which we are able to conduct research."
Laying out a diagram of Fairview and El Naranjo, the scientist pointed out the designated locations of the new Research Facilities being built, "...General Fogel Research Institute, and Fairview Industrial Park have both given us dramatic insight into new methods and materials for the construction of our residencies and the advancement of commercial structures..."
The First Lord appeared to be pleased, but his voice betrayed his appearance, "How much longer before we are able to begin production, Seamus"
"I...I...don't know my Lord, I would hazard a guess but..."
"Hazard it, Seamus..."
"I am estimating we should begin our first production within a year. This will require the research of new technology even after this project is finished, but..."
"There are no but, doctor...I have been kind enough to commission the construction of five new research facilities, and have imported equipment from many friends to whom we are already deeply indebted. There are no further excuses. I trust you will personally keep me up to date on your progress, and that it will be swift..."
"Yes, my lord..." the scientist was beginning to stutter, feeling the pressure that the entire economy was resting on his ability to produce, and especially to appease the frustrations of the First Lord, who by now was himself feeling a bit of pressure now that the newness of establishing a new Empire was wearing off...
"...Dr. Seamus, it would be a great loss to our community if you were to be lost..."
"Understood, sir..."
With that, the meeting was adjourned. Remus Ogg turned to his window after the parting of his Advisor of Science and Technology. He could not help but wonder in amazement at the sight of the bustling city that bore his name, the capital of his small country. It was becomming quite a challenge now to keep up with the expanding civilian populace, and without more efficient means to house them, he was growing more concerned about the prospect of expansions that would betray his size and attract unwanted predators. He knew however, that a day would come when his peaceful expansion would end, and he would be forced to join the fray that scarred the surface of this world, but by that time, he intended to be prepared....

ooc- I finally got around to building a few more Research Facilities, and it spead up research by 150%! I wish I'd thought of that sooner, but the tutorials and everything really seemed to discourage building more than two, and never really said when it was good to build more!
