Hello again, Sector!

The Mission Control board has been reset and has a fresh line-up of new shwag for you to pick up! Let's have a look at what's been added to the board:

* (NEW Promo Item!) A sand-blasted plastic fish bag (1 tradein credits): Containing a fish sure to be a hit for the Archaeologically inclined, this baggie helps to provide a temporary home or transportation to the random fish within until they are added to their permanent tank home.
* (NEW Promo Item!) An ancient skull mask (8 tradein credits): Worn smooth by time and repeated handling, the skull of some long-deceased animal endures through the ages, its short snout and narrow brow just about large enough to slip over the top of a person's head. A pair of hornlike bone spurrs have eroded to protruding nubs as they jut out from its brow, and several hairline fractures marr the white bone near its forward-facing eye sockets, but these seem to have been repaired with a dark tar-like substance. Shadow obscures every orifice of the skull, concealing whatever lies beneath.
* (NEW Promo Item!) A blossoming plutalir plant (10 tradein credits): The plutalir plant is known for its ability to bloom anew from its own ashes. The plutalir thrives on mineral deposits, specifically calcium, which inevitably overtake its cuticle and force it to crumble to ashes, only to renew itself on the mineral rich soil of its own powdered remains and begin the cycle again.
* (NEW Promo Item!) A 'Bone Days' edition of the Buried Secrets Zine. (1 tradein credits): Initially nothing more than a small disc of polished metal, this familiar object is recognizable to just about anyone as a 'zine, a disposable data stream, often published month-by-month. This 'zine appears to be the latest issue of Buried Secrets magazine, a scientific periodical covering cultural discoveries and archaeological strategies. This issue is dedicated to the exploration of ancient cultures and comes with gene samples to let the subscriber try on an appearance that suggests they're right along with a dig.

That's it, that's all! We hope you enjoy this month's Mission Control offerings, and we'll be back with more goodies in May, which should turn out to be quite the EVENTful month, indeed...

Regards,
The Starmourn Team
