I know bit I do not deal in the blue stuff, and how is this going to be done, through character perspective or headlines?
Anyway you see fit. Just to keep it within the casual roleplay rules.
IC is up.
The element Bycorium, the fuel source that powers the entire Human civilization. The chemical in it's crystallized form is inert, harmless and for the mostly part useless but when heated at extreme temperatures, it turns into a gas that is the most potent energy source man has ever known. Just a cubic inch of the glowing rock when turned into it's gaseous form has enough energy to match 5,000 Hiroshima nuclear bombs. Never has humanity grasped such a powerful resource. For the substance in it's gaseous form to explode, it has to be exposed to carbon dioxide and thus it must be kept in special containers that would insure it would not be exposed with the outside atmosphere. The element has completely revolutionized the way we live. The element has no negative impact on the environment and mining the substance is completely safe so long as it isn't heated to become it's gaseous state. The only problem with Bycorium is that it is extremely rare, until now...
During the year 5023, a small colony ship of Humans, the E.R.S Hudson, approached the newly christened Columbus Sector of the Parhatti galaxy. Inside the ship were little more than 70 million inhabitants searching for a new home. Most of the residents of the ships were lower-class minimum wage construction workers trying to earn a living. They're first order of business was to build a worm hole gate which would allow for quick and easy access to this area of the universe. Worm hole gates are the primary access the express ways of Humans from one part of the universe to another, connecting Humanity from vast distances. This gates however consume massive amounts of power to keep the gates open and keep them stable. As the colonist searched the near by asteroid belts, debris fields and dust clouds in the sector for any fuel source available, they found something truly remarkable. They found great abundances of Bycorium localized in this little sector of the galaxy. This set off a great rush for those who would seek to exploit the resource and gain wealth for themselves. The year now is 5035, 12 years after the first explorers came and 3 years after the Worm hole gate was completed. The demand for Bycorium is at an all time high and the new settlers of this sector are now in completion to strike it rich or strike out.
*Columbus Sector organizational treaty under construction- A new organization approved by the Universal United Nations is now under construction. The purpose of the said threaty is to unite the nations of the sector, restrain them from using unprovoked warfare, production and use of unconventional weaponry and to bring closer trade ties with one another. Heading the construction of the organization is renowned Earth Republic Governer Eon Kurtz. Governer Kurtz stated that the orginazation will not only bring peace and stability to the region but will also combat any threat that would seek to cause a disturbance in the sector. The said organizational threaty is expected to be completed by the next year.
*More patrols sent to the Horus gas cloud- Recent reports have reached the Universal United Nations that several unidentified crafts have been spotted entering the restricted Horus debris field. The U.U.N peacekeeping force in the are has now declared that they would be sending more patrols to secure the area. Major General Andrew Holmes, who is in charge of the operations in the area, has approved sending 4 patrols daily around the area. So far, noone has yet been caught by the authorities.
*Broken Cresent group spotted in the sector- The radical extremist Muslim terrorist group simply known as the 'Broken Cresant' have been reported to now be operating in the Columbus sector. This has made a number of world leaders across the universe to worry as the group may use the extreme abundance of Bycorium in the area as weapons for their own gain. Major General Andrew Holmes have sent more patrols across the sector, specially to the Horus Gas Coud, to prevent the group from harvesting Bycorium. All attempts at contacting the group has since been fruitless.
I'm starting the IC.
Just give me a sec.
Should be up in a minute or two.

By the way, does anyone want to be exclusive trade partners with my unstable nation?
Name: Timothy "Tiny Tim" Smith
Age: 28
Appearance:
Tim usually wears a monk's robe and is usually seen holding a staff with a crusifix on the top.
Previous Occupation: None. (Student)
Nationality: American
Personality: When being casual and not required to be serious, Tim has a light and charming personality which makes him easy to befriend. He likes to socialize with people and have conversations over a cold glass of beer. That doesn't mean, although that he has forgotten his manners. In fact quite the opposite. He's still very respectful of the old and knows when somebody needs their space. Some even find it hard to believe that he's a priest because of his relaxed and sociable demeanor. However when there is trouble afoot, he changes from toned and relaxed to a serious, no-sense guy who would do anything to get himself and anybody else out of harms way.
Skills:
Has minor training in:
First-aid
Use of small arms
Foraging
Also skilled in pottery and cooking.
Weapons/Items:
A bowie knife.
A staff with a crucifix on top.
A small first-aid kit.
A small ration of food.
Some tradable junk such as small pieces of gold, copper and steel.
Bio: The son of a 4h generation Chinese woman and a well-off cargo ship captain, Timothy "Tiny Tim" Smith grew up in the suburbs in south Virginia. Tim had a normal childhood but his father would be gone for most of the year because of his job. Tim never despised his father for this. In fact, it was quite the opposite. He intended on being something akin to his father's image. He dreamed of exploring the world and visiting every spot on the planet. Every little gift that he received from his dad across the world would be a treasure for him.
As Tim grew up, his passion for adventure never died. When he graduated high school, he instead of doing his parent's wishes of going to college and getting a degree, bought plane tickets to go to Europe instead and planned on staying there. He's parent's though he was out of his mind but for Tim, it was the start of his life-long dream. He lived the Bohemian's life, singing on the streets with his guitar to earn a little money and hitchhiked from city to another. Though it got rough at times, Tim was non-the-less satisfied. That was when the disease first spread. At first, nobody seemed to take it seriously like Tim but then it spread more and more and it's effects became known to the public. Chaos broke out and anarchy swept the streets. Tim was at the time, stuck in Germany as all borders were closed and even as he tried to get in touch with the American embassy in Berlin, it was no use. Tim didn't have any way out and was on the brink of madness as he saw the corpses of the infected on the streets, other people going insane and the lack of rations from disorganized government workers. He soon found himself at the border between Germany and Italy in the Alps. He had heard that some group were giving out food to the needy.
This was when he found the Church of the Last Light. It was a Catholic church feeding everybody they could though by know, their rations were so few and so little that only a few bothered to travel there anymore. Tim came for the food but stayed because something in him that said his destiny was here. Whether it was his delusion from hunger, a desperation for a bit of order or simply a place to call home, Tim stayed and trained to be a monk. During the next five years, Tim learned everything that he could on how to be a priest and was thought how to handle a pistol and knife, how to forage in the wilderness as well as first-aid and emergency medical procedures. The bishop who lead the church, Father Andrew Boshmann, knew that for his disciples to stay alive and help others in this lawless world, they must learn how to defend themselves. After Tim's training, Boshmann sent him on a missionary expedition to the west, on what remained of the people of France. Tim gladly accepted and has set of to the west. In his time there, he goes from one encampment to the next, offering to spread the word of God n their community as well as trying to help with their problems. Tim is now in Paris, where the people are trying to rebuilt what they have lost.
