Hello friends!

Welcome to April! Archaeology and the promotional rollover that accompanies it need just a bit more time in the oven, and will hit the Sector after a good night's sleep!

In the meantime, here are a few things you can do NOW:

- Read HELP ARCHAEOLOGY, HELP MUSEUMS, and HELP RESEARCH.
- In Scatterhome, start some Calls to promote people to the newly-created "Curator" position.
- Punch in the new ARCHAEOLOGY and MUSEUM commands for no particular reason.
- Try to find your faction's Museum on the MAP, but you can't get there quite yet.
- Furniture designers can start designing display cases and display platforms for your museum's exhibition space! These designs have special behavior inside museums (as described in HELP MUSEUMS).
- Art designers have two new patterns: brush and trowel. While having no mechanical function on archaeological dig sites, coming prepared with the tools of the trade may very well leave a favorable impression with your dig team.

Regards,
Neritus
