Terra Invicta (HF) E8 - Treason at Mission Control (and some minor time travel)

So one rule I always follow when posting games is to disclose whenever I rollback a save - for this episode I did....in order to help the Aliens After the aliens got hit with an incredibly unlikely series of random events, I rolled the game back a bit and got help from the Devs to boost them back up to provide the best possible challenge, so as we come back today the world is mostly the same but with some subtle changes...like the fact that one of our agents now works for the damn protectorate. In this episode I try to prevent India's economic growth from crushing my CP limit, push my MC limit closer to 100 thanks to Mercury, and continue expanding the "totally not USSR" we're building in Eastern Europe & Central Asia
