The Mother of All Motherlodes

The colonizing team found vestigial traces of a large impact crater on the Western Continent of this planet.  Mapping that circle indicated an impact point long covered in more recent layers of terrain.  Underneath, the team found that the asteroid that made the ancient impact was nearly pure gold.  A micro thin layer of gold particles has been identified in the older sedimentary rocks showing a cloud of gold dust settled there, and confirms the impact dating.  The bulk of the buried asteroid is still intact, and even though gold isn't worth as much as it was before hyper-gravity induced transmutation, this opportunity cannot be wasted.

B:  You're right.  Carefully mine what we can without damage.  Donate the proceeds to charities, especially orphanages.  Pictures of happy orphans make everybody happy!

P:  You're right.  Everybody loves staring at huge piles of gold, even if it isn't theirs.  Double purpose the mines into theme parks and sell tickets!

M: You're right.  Scoop out all that stuff you can!  It will help pay for all our fleets and decorate the Admiral's Quarters!

Creepy Cranial Crawlers of Creative Chaos

After touchdown all our colonists were infected by an indigenous airborne microscopic larva. These larva once settled in the brain of the afflicted grew into tiny millipede-like creatures with elongated claws that hooked themselves into the cranial mass of their hosts, making it exceedingly hard to excise them without damaging the surrounding tissue. These - lets call them - Mindpedes secrete a substance that massively alters the mental and intellectual capabilities of the host. The thought processes of the host become chaotic, paranoid, but also very creative and of staggering intelligence.

B: Exterminate the Mindpedes. We must protect the sanity and well being of our people at all cost, even at the loss of any potential gains. Happiness +20%, Wealth -20%.

P: Protect our people from the Mindpedes, but keep them alive for study in laboratories. Especially analyse the secretion that effectuates the increased creativity and intelligence. Happiness -10%, Wealth -10%, Research +20%

M: This resource is of paramount importance, we must protect and expand it at all cost. Screw the well being of the workers, and if they die or don't reproduce fast enough then we can always force immigrate new workers from other planets. Happiness -80%, Resistance -90%, Influence -80%, Growth -80%, Research +500%

nope sorry dont know what that is probably something to do with the civilization line of games.
