Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Secret Project: The Xenoempathy Dome

From the videogame known as Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, this is the secret project video for The Xenoempathy Dome.

Secret project details:
Cost: 300
Prerequisite Technology: Centauri Meditation
Effect: All Xenofungus squares are treated as roads, and the rate at which your Formers remove and/or plant fungus is doubled. Any alien lifeforms you breed gain a +1 lifecycle bonus.

"I believe Planet will talk to us if we are willing to listen. These fungal stalks behave as multistate relays: taken together, the neural net connectivity must be staggering. Can a planet be said to have achieved sentience?"
-- Lady Deirdre Skye, Arguments in Council

What is the name of the music?

[matsku84]

Sorry, I have no idea. It's sounds like classical... could be one of the really famous ones like Bach, Beethoven or Mozart.

Felix MENDELSSOHN-Bartholdy (1809-47); DEU is the composer. "Songs without Words" Opus 19, Number 1 in E.

That is the peice.

[AlleghenyDMS]

Yeah, but she's sexy.

[anakid123]

@anakid123 Its original tempo is much slower, much more powerful to me.

@HardWarUK wiki is your friend. :)

[HardWarUK]

@anakid123 Wow!:)

[Xazamas]

@Kizor Avatar is pretty much same with mind-worms replaced by blue furrie people and wild fauna. Atmosphere has too much nitrogen compounds and carbon dioxide to humans breath without masks.

@matsku84 Think its something created for the game.

[DeftCrowMk3]

Who needs mindworms if your troops walk on fungus as if it were roads? Unless the enemy starts using silksteel and defense perimeters, of course.

the tree of souls or the vine of souls (DMT) ayuwasca or psibocilin mushrooms

actually mycillium fungus behaves much like the way lady deidreskye described

[SODEMO2007]

Death to Gaians! Destroy the fungus and terraform planet! Humanity shall shape the world in its own image!

[the400rabbits]

@xensan76 The name of the song is 'Andante con moto in E major', Op. 19 No. 1, from 'Lieder Ohne Worte' written by Mendelssohn. matsku84 was close in calling Mozart as the writer.

hmm, I get the strange image of Deirdre at the piano in a ring of swaying mind worms :)
