All the Seedling Arks have frozen
If you allow all the Seedling Arks to freeze in The Arks, this event will occur.

We failed
If you fail to build an autonomous city in The Arks, this event will occur.

 * We did what we could

We die in vain
If you do not complete your final objectives in The Arks, this event will occur.

"Our people shiver as the storm hits the city. The automatons shrug it off, but we don't have enough supplies to last through the storm. We're not dead yet. But it's just a question of time.

We couldn't imagine how hard this hell of a winter will be on us... and others. We didn't send supplies to New Manchester, and they will never last this storm without them. We all die in vain.
