Game ID: NewLaputaCommunication / NewLaputaWithCultists Main Meeting: LaputaContact
This event happens in two stages.
600 hours after game start (24 days 8 hours 24 min), at around 53-05-17 14:30, as soon as Satellite has been built, the Lapituans will send a diplomatic message.
672 hours after game start (27 days 6 hours 27 min), at around 53-05-20 12:30, the main meeting happens as soon as the message has been watched.
The Servants has destroyed Laputa, cutting off communication. The Lapitians are glad that the Mars colony has survived despite recent events, promised scientific assistant, and expressed interest in history of Mars.
Triggers: LaputaIntroSeen
The first contact message must be watched in the diplomacy screen first.
Mary Osakwe will report that a diplomatic proposal was raised.
It plays automatically when the diplomatic screen is opened.
Watching this message is a requirement for all other Laputa events.
If Humans did not contact Servants, did not help Servants, or if helped them too late:
Greetings to the Mars colony. We are most happy that you survived. We will shortly be ready to dispatch a spaceship with material help and later even with a human crew. We are ready to offer you all the results of our scientific research and we are curious about yours. Of most interest is information on the history of Mars, which might have some relation to the tragedy that happened to the Earth.
If Humans helped Servants early:
Greetings to the Mars colony. We are most happy that you survived. We would have contacted you sooner, but the Cultists, our enemies, developed new types of weapons recently and have fought very fiercely. We will shortly be ready to dispatch a spaceship with material help and later even with a human crew. We are ready to offer you all the results of our scientific research and we are curious about yours. Of most interest is any information on Mars’ history, which might have some relation to the tragedy that happened on Earth.
Dialog[]
The main meeting is technically another event.
Its earliest timing is 72 hours after previous message, so other events like Earth Technology will happen between the message and this meeting if timed right.
If Humans did not contact Servants, did not help Servants, or if helped them too late:
This explains why we lost connection to those fanatics from the Earth a few days ago. It did not matter much since we have learned nothing new from them, they were just babbling.
And where do those ones come from?
They are people who lived on Laputa and rebelled against the Council of the Earth. Laputa was destroyed during that time and the rebels escaped to Earth. There, they started the war against the Cultists, the religious group we contacted previously. Now the Laputians took control of the communication device and have been able to contact us.
We are most happy that the colony on Mars still exists. In a short time, we will be ready to dispatch the spaceship with raw materials and later another with a human crew. We are ready to offer you all results of our scientific research and we are curious about yours. The most interesting is information on the history of Mars - it might have some relation to the tragedy that happened to the Earth.
I knew several scientists that are now among the rebels. I believe it will be much more useful to cooperate with this group. I am going to send them all necessary data immediately.

Diplomacy[]
This event enables diplomacy with the Laputians.
When requesting to share technology, without Data Accessory.
Note that the data for Earth Technology will be received in a day even without the request and without data accessory.
As soon as you can send and receive computer data, we will send our database.
Space travel with a human crew is not simple. We are afraid that at the moment, we must put our efforts into Earth affairs.
Note[]
We haven't been able to get the helped servant event, even if technology were shared.
It may be because the help came too late, because new weapons (laser) haven't been researched, or because the alternative does not exists.
