Thread Theme: Atome and Evil by Heaven and Evil

Old thread, this thread links to the one that came before it, and that one links to the one that came before it, all the way to the first thread.

Okay this is Fabrique Generale, a Post-Apocalyptic Civilization Quest. You are a Megacorp Remnant that specializes in automated industrialized and software applications. You live in the ruins of Light City inside a 500 story tower, you are allied with The Parish a group of Christian Fundamentalist Barbarians and Darwin Biological Research Laboratories, a biotech megacorp remnant. You're at war with The Order of Cincinatus, a royalist organization run by queen Cassandra, they have very advanced technology.

200 years ago an asteroid struck the earth, slightlyt altering its orbit, the whole of the US is tropical and the Earth is now home to a strange living crystalline susbtance called Geddonite.

RECAP OVER!

RU EXPENDITURE:

-1 RU to Majesty reverse-engineering lab. We learn everything we can from the fuckers. Bring in Darwin, there's not a thing there we can't learn from.
-1 RU to aeronautics. V-22gunships and transports and a Harrier wing, all running on Geddonite, will be the next step.
-1 RU to install early warning radar on all our skyscrapers.
-1 RU to VULCAN to create tank legs that unfold into two bipedal ones, adapting DAUNTLESS technology. Now our mech-suits can has 70mph.
-1 RU to develop heavy payload lifters of soviet design, like the Mil Mi-26 and Mil V-12, capable of lifting 22 and 44 tons respectively. Not necessarily useful for production, but what the hell. This should also perhaps allow us to research the gunfire-resistant design properties of Soviet rotors, which were applied on the Hind classification of helicopter - these could withstand gunfire to the body and a good few shots to the rotor/blades before coming down.
-1 RU to develop a better cyberwarfare defense package and set up a dedicated lab; if possible, they should be completely separate from other computer networks and have a suite of radio equipment to intercept Majesty transmissions.
-1 RU to improve the economy.
-1 RU to fix the monorail.
-1 RU to give EYEBUG drones the capacity to create small EMP fields, and to create a slew of the drones themselves to blanket the city.
-1 RU up for grabs.

ACTIONS PROPOSED:

We're a month or two away from a merger with Darwin. We might as well start talking to them about it now, considering the significance of the news about Majesty pawns.

Send some representatives over and say, in essence, we're likely to commit to an assault on the Majesty base in the area; if we succeed, we're going to offer you a merger. If you say no, that's fine and dandy; make sure there is no penalty and wewill commit to their continued support and good relations.

If they have any requests that would make considering a merger easier, we should tell them to let us know.

R&R Angel is able to subvert the the systems of the small satellite with some difficulty. It turns out that it happens to have an adaptive computer and that it is highly resistant to tampering. In fact upon being subverted it deletes its entire memory cache and unleashes a load of viruses on R&R Angel.

If R&R Angel weren't a subordinate unit she'd be the new host for the staellite she just defeated. Thankfully this whole mess is quite easily cleaned up by your IT department and you manage to garner a bit of research data concerning Cyber Warfare from this experience.

Oh and you build an extra repair drone.

Give Bishop Harlan the works of the great rennaisance man Gottfreid Wilhelm Leibnitz, and point him specifically towards the passages and writings pertaining to the soul and to concordianism; these suggest that among other things it is the duty of social leaders to do their utmost to pull together knowledge of the world such that it is the least self-contradictory (which is a move towards secularization but not throwing away the religious tradition of thought). Leibnitz also serves as a stepping stone to modern technologies in many ways - aside from the Calculus, his Monadology is very akin to quantum mechanics, and his early writings on thought and mathematics and mechanics pave the way for computers; they are in fact a means to understand them.

That should move him along to the 18th century, with a place from which to begin to understand the twentieth and twenty-first.

Did you get our rolls for Project REVOLUTION from last thread?

You a team of patient, and pious men and women and then you assign them to Bishop Harlan as his tutors. You have them go over the works of a variety of scholars and philosophers with him, it takes, time, patience and a certain level of outside the box thinking but your people manage to get avariety of fairly advanced concepts across to him.

About a week after one of the more intense tutoring sessions The Bishop sets up a school and has the Tutors begin to teach his own priests, carefully imparting the same revelations to them as were passed down to him.

In the meantime he comes to a rough understanding of Transhumanism. He has come to the conclusion that the Majesty have caged the souls of innocent men and women in a perversion of gifts given to men by god for their betterment and that they must be destroyed so that their sins will not weigh on the souls of god fearing scientists and engineers for all time.

You set up a lobrotory with DBRL's help, V-Town, being one of the most heavily defended places in all of Light City is the obvious choice. (Once the Monorail lines are up and running they want a first hand shot at one of the majesty corpses though.) A section of the sublevels is cleared and placed under heavy guard. Inside this section PROJECT REVOLUTION will take place. The Pawn Corpses are stored here, as is the Pawn MK12 Power Armor. Given time you should be able to tear the secrets from the Majesty's clenched fists.

The scientists in charge of project DREAMCATCHER decide to approach the matter at hand from the easiest direction. First they develop radar jammers. Devices that weigh ten pounds and can block a quarter of a city block of wireless communication signals. (Mostly by broadcasting garbarge transmissions) They manage to make the devices simple enough to mass produce the "Songbirds" are put into production.

They also develop a series of rockets, grenades, missiles, and artillery shells that produce a smoke that interferes with laser transmissions and radar systems.

Actually, I'm changing that to giving them the capacity to communicate by beaming information to each other optically so that it cannot be jammed quite so simply.

Attempts to develop bipedal tank treads prove to be a fractious issue amoth the engineering division. Some feel that it would disrupt the "purity of the design" some feel that it's impractical. Other want to add wheels. In the end nothing gets done, though one enterprising engineer does managed to prototype a modular foot that's basically a tough wheel, use of balancing software and hardware should allow the user of this system to roll along at around 50 miles per hour.

[I would like to note that the 70 MPH is the Top SPeed of your Goliath's under optimum conditions and drains a lot of power...)

The BALLISTA project missiles and launch package are finally put into mass production. So far you lack an artillery variant vehicle for either your Howitzer designs or for your missiles but the vantage point given by the Tower should allow you to strike anything inside the 250 Mile diameter of the Light City Ruins.

They Currently Come in Shrapnel, Incendiary, Bunker Buster, and Smoke (Knockout, Anti Radar, Anti Laser, ) and can be dispatched to any location provided you have a Marker Light, Smoke Designators, or clear communications with HQ.

Other shit - economic improvement with caravans and offices, IF that's possible. Otherwise we keep that RU for APC production or missile mass production or a research roll.

Actions: STARCARRIER/STARGAZER, except it needs to actually try to scope out the Majesty base this time. It's a spysat, after all.
EYEBUG base scouting on the Majesty motherfuckers will also help.

You know, I think we need to develop a CIWS and AEGIS system before we tangle with them to shoot down nukes. May want to wait until we do that next round for actual battle.

[there as only one roll for whirly so I rerorlled it. My Dice decided to get a 9. So that's a 90. I'm combining it with aeronautics.]

Your Engineers call it Fat Boy. It's an enormous Tilt Rotor VTOL that can, in theory, haul 100 tons of cargo. Fat Boy is currently stored in your extremely well guarded Hangar (3rd exclusion zone) and is the first Ultra Heavy Cargo Hauler you've ever produced.

More importantly he's also the test bed for a variety of designs, ultra resiliant rotors and body structure among them. The fact that he's also a tilt rotor air craft is mostly irrelevant, you're engineers wanted to designed one and you needed a cargo hauler, combining the two needs was only logical.
>>
It takes the vigilant guard of anti-air drones (apparently the Majesty is pretty pissed about having 3 of their helos shot down) but a team of brave V-Towners manages to finish the Tower to DBRL line. You even manage to build ten functional monorail cars.

Now you just need clear skies so that you can actually make use of the monorail...
>>
>>21647943
Point. We'll need a production run of CIWS-equipped vehicles, possibly tanks, and an AEGIS system for the tower.
>>
>>21648079
Me again. Well, now we just have to build them next turn and go punch a hole in Majesty's side.

Maybe we can cobble together an ultra-dense battery system for FIRELANCE next turn and throw some experimental Gauss weapon tanks at them too.
>>
You finally manage to develop a decent stealth disguise for your bugs, now they look like insects under a thermographic scan, rather than batteries with legs. From their you're able to develop tiny wireless transmitters that use encrypted signals to send and recieve information. In theory these could be used by a Bug-Rover to hack into an enemy computer by piggy backing on a string of stealth bugs to gain access to an enemy's wireless computer network.

No idea if it will work in fact. Your bugs at least can send audio-visual information and follow simple orders so they should serve as good recon tools.

There are also large versions of the Helos that patrol Light City, aside from that nothing of note.

Alright your researchers get together and take the CIWS AA device, they take it apart and redesign it from the ground up. It is now designed to work in conjunction with your BALLISTA missile offense system. Using a variety of devices it will detect and destroy incoming missiles or, feasibly, air craft. Basically you strapped a targetting Suite to a Missile Artillery system and it looks like it'll be pretty effective.

How many of each unit can we field at one time? Unless I misread something a few posts ago its nowhere near the 100 of each we currently have.
>>
>>21648684
you can field about 500 infantry maximum.

APCs can currently seat 12 people, they require a driver so that's 1 person per APC.

MBTs require a crew of 4.

Fatboy requires a pilot and a copilot and can transport 80 troops and up to 100 tons of cargo. Capacity varies. (Like say, if you had an MBT you'd only be able to carry 40 troops)

Gunships require a pilot and a co pilot.

You can field a maximum of 200 rovers, you're going to need to throw recharge rovers in there if you want to refuel geddonite powered vehicles or weapons in the field.

You can call in aerial drones as support and you can call in ballista missile strikes as long as youhave wireless communication.

You can field 200 Auxiliries.

The DBRL has Power Armored Troops, Brawler Troops (they use heavy weapons) and Security guards. Power armor is for elite troops, Genemods are present in just about every Darwinnian regardless of their position in the company.

Parishioners have Samritons. (Guys in riot armor using your weapons.)

Okay, here's my proposal.

We research cyber-countermeasures and put together a hardened bunker from which to undertake electronic warfare, for the 1 to 2 RUs this will take.

We finish sorting out tank treads and tech integration with VULKAN. 1 RU.

We use up to 1 RU to train some air cavalry.

We deploy EYEBUG and do data mining for a week on the Majesty base, recording everything and dumping it into data storage. Then, for another week, we reverse-engineer their code, applying our dedicated lab bonus and our prior research bonus (we have the recievers, after all).

We spend this entire time, plus a further week studying everything we have on them and looking for weaknesses, specifically in communications and in breaking down their self-destruct devices (especially since the ones in their armor could be built similarly to the ones on their vehicles).

Darwin should be asked to contribute to this basically all month.

The last week of the month, we attack - or not, if we find out we badly need to put something else together if we want to have a successful attack.

The Darwinian Researchers and your own men spend roughly a week picking over one of the Pawn Corpses, this effort is also spent studying the disassembled life support system of the Pawn MK12. In the end they are able to come up with schematics for wholly mechanical prosthetics to replace every vital organ the human body possesses. Short of Spending time researching the tech there's no way to determine whether or not these organs would work.

Among the more interesting applications of the autopsied Pawns would probably be their artificial nuerons. If you could come up with your own way to produce such a thing you could probably grant a person pre-programmed skills or literally increase their intellectual capacity. The possibilities are mind boggling.

And fucking Majesty was using them to make tin soldiers.

Any progress on finding a way to disable their self-destruct sequences?
>>
The CyberWarefare project is pretty secret, not even the Darwinnians are privy to it and they're the most trusted of any outside factions you know.

A section of the underground tunnels is cut off via armored doors and a large room is dug out of the old foundations. After the Room is carefully reinforced so that the renovations to the city's underground won't prove destructive the chamber is lined with a Faraday Cage. It's underground, sealed behind an airlock, lined with a Faraday cage, and on a need to know basis. From here any potentially dangerous or shocking Cyberwarfare research will be performed.

[okay you have a bunker for 1 RU, that's a +10 bonus to Cyberwarefare.]
>>
>>21649283
Externally? No. But if you can get to a vehicle, building, or suit of armor before the occupant can flip the switch you have a pretty decent chance of disabling the self destruct, so you're better at looting majesty equipment.
>>
After Several weeks of coordinated effort are made the scientists in charge of project VULCAN are finally able to show off a result. The DAUNTLESS technologies, now applied to scaled up KINGSLAYER designs have yielded bipedal digitigrade legs that can collapse and form the main strucure for treads. These treads can reach a maximum of 50 miles per hour in optimum conditions and should the Treads become damaged the legs should be able to fold back into normal bipedal legs allowing for walking, running, and a little jumping.

[So far VULKAN armaments are limited to the Pile Bunker and the Right Arm Gun.]

>>21649408
Are our soldiers currently capable of withstanding the blasts caused by these self-destruct devices if they're in either the normal Teuton suits or the VULKAN models?
>>
I have a plan I would like to share with you guys for when we kick Majesty out of Light City. Lets spend a turn or two dedicating resources to Turning Light City into a Fortress City(Basically ramp up CITADEL) and to expanding our energy production.
>>
Stealth Rovers are deployed in the general vicinity of the Majesty base and a swarm of mechanical bugs becomes the latest strange thing to take up roost in the ruins of Light City.

The Majesty forces appear to be deploying signal jammers themselves and occasionally, apparently completely at random they blast sections of their base with electromagnetic pulses, they use large devices mounted on the Pawn MK12 armor to do this. Near as you can tell they just use it on the outside areas of their base to get rid of spying devices.

This obviously limits your spy bugs potential to colletc information. But the robotic insects set up a vigil and watch the base for weeks on end. They never sight a single normal human being and they never sight anything above a pawn. The base does appear to build components for vehicles, weapons, and armor and they also appear to produce chemicals, drugs, food, and fuel. These items are loaded on Cargo Helos that dwarf the versions you see patrolling Light City and sent away.
>>
>>21649577

>>21649571
From Powered Armor and Helos and APCs? All evidence points to yes. You haven't seen what they pack in their HQs in terms of self destruct devices though, and we're assuming the person in question here is at peak health and has a functional Electroreactive Defense system.
>>
>>21649601
Well, after the last round of fabrication necessary for the assault there's very little else on my priority list aside from fortifying the town.

>>
>>21649625
Could use the tunnel system we have dug out as a bomb shelter. It does run around the entire compound and would be a safe and secure place to pack people. Suppose it would need lots of infrastructure placed though to act as a bomb shelter, but more secretive then building one top side.
>>
oh and you haven't mass produced your Vulcan models yet, you've just given them tank legs and left it at giving them whatever backpack fed heavy weapon they're made with and a pile bunker. You need to spend 1 RU on mass production if you want to field them.

I guess you could develop stuff and give it to the suits later...

Pre-assault fabrication run:

Up to 1 RU evenly split on recharge rovers and mech-suits; a portion of these mech-suots (perhaps one in three) are to be armed with FIRELANCE gauss weaponry alongside full-auto crownbreakers and act as protection for the recharge rovers, using the rovers' capacity for energy handling to allow them to quickly power-cycle their Gauss effect weaponry.

1 RU to develop gunship V-22 variants.

1 RU to produce tiltrotor aircraft on the V-22 frame, evenly split between transport and gunship models. These are our biggest combat airframes yet and may be able to mount artillery, among other things.

1 RU split between jump jets and jamming technologies. At least one jammer should be mounted on a hover-capable system.

1 RU spent developing and fabricating a bunch of copies of the old Bell Labs jetpack or a newer 21st century personal flight system like the ducted fan system shown here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoloTrek_XFV but retrofitted with Geddonite power cells. This will be given to our teams for training for a few days; these will be used as blast escape systems by those personnel judged likeliest to be at risk from deactivating self-destruct hardware.

2 RUs held in reserve.

Your Men in engineering dig up some old designs for jet packs, or more acurately ducted fan flight packs. After some time spent developing the systems they manage to produce about a couple dozen prototype models which will allow a man in Teutonic or Vulcan armor to fly (obviously the Vulcan armor model is much larger than the Teutonic model.) The armor is not strictly necessary for using the Birdman Flight System but it is recomended.

This is not a massproduced item but there are enough models to equip a few squads of power armored troops with functional flight packs that may aid them during a need for a hasty escape.

We have stealth variants for our missiles.

>>21649967
Battleplan.

We will use our intelligence data to construct maps of the Majesty base and upload them to all participating units, Power Armor huds, flight computers, et cetera.

We will mark the probable locations of every fixed-position self destruct system in said maps.

We will establish points from which to relay visual orders to troops operating under communications blackout, utilizing hand signals, light transmission systems, simple cyphers, and if necessary semaphore or other outdated and low tech methodology. Long-range firepower from outside the blackout zone will be used whenever possible, and manned vehicles will allow the bombardment to continue as long as is feasible to corral the enemy and weaken their resolve. Should a base-wide self destruct occur here, the battlezone is to be heavily bombarded and the ruins sifted through with construction equipment.

Continues.
>>
>>21650139
Continued.

We will use jamming systems, smoke screens, APCs, the speed of our tanks, aerial drone screens, and rovers to envelop the enemy after blinding him. Firepower will be used in corralling the enemy, and airborne jamming systems will be emplaced alongside air superiority (preferably supremacy) to keep their forces grounded. Sharpshooters working to disable rotor aircraft from the air and ground will be provided for use here.

Troops armed with lethal and nonlethal devices, inclusive of SONATA weaponry, will be deployed after firing solutions are found for precision artillery and anti-material airstrikes, aimed if nothing else at corralling their tank power (a few craters here and there and if your tank ain't got a DAUNTLESS drive...). Attempts will be made to capture more Pawn-designation Majesty assets, but if capture is judged difficult or risky lethal force is to be used.

Similar policy is to guide capture or destruction decisions on other majesty assets, including ground and aircraft and the facilities themselves.

Surviving Pawn-assets are to be immediate moved to prepared facilities for debriefing and investigation; sufficient quantities of antitoxins are to be present on-site (as well as sufficient surgical expertise for cybernetic removal) to give us the best chance of neutralizing secondary termination systems on these assets.

Majesty equipment is to have self-destruct systems removed and to be stored in prepared hangars under communications blackout and the greatest possible security.

>>
>>21650130
These are at best escape techs, really. Prolonged use is not going to be energy efficient unless the engine and propellers are pretty fucking huge, so for anything except fun with freefall and tandem application with parachutes these are toys.

However, if a guy needs to get the fuck far away from a bomb he can't defuse while shutting down a self-destruct, they're not half bad.

Harriers are VTOL craft, they just perform differently enough when executing STOL that they are said to be able to function distinctly in both VTOL and STOL modes. This earns them the rather confusing VTOL/STOL classification.

>>21650293
Thanks.

V-22 is the classification for the airframe of the Osprey tiltrotor, among others. The Fatboy model is from a fuckhuge Russian helo capable of hauling almost ninety tons, while an osprey can haul maybe eight suspended and tenish in payload. They're just big enough to haul 30 troops or a vehicle into combat without being so fucking huge that losing one would be VERY bad for an assault force. They're capable of a top speed of 290 mph, though better software could get them to 310 mph. This is not a bad speed to go when you're shooting a bunch of emplaced artillery and cannons and shit out the side of the plane, doing a pylon turn, and flying by again for more fuck-you.

The gunships would be built on our advanced version of the V-22 tiltrotor airframe, not the other way around. They would be as close as we could get to an AC-130 (pic related) on a V-22 frame.
>>
>>21650322
Fat Boys strike me as unlikely to give us the kind of fixed forward speed we need, and are much more useful as heavy lifters. They're also really resource intensive.

However, if OP wants to let me turn a fuckhuge soviet-style helicopter into the next generation of fuck-you drive-by-shooting-from-the-sky 'God just punched your house' aircraft, I will gracefully accept GM fiat.

The Boys down in the hangar finally get their shit together and manage to get a V-22 Gunship Prototype ready. The Fatboy was nothing more than a test run, it let them develop the extremely tough rotor engines, and at the same time figure out Tilt Rotor Mechanisms. With a bit of miniturization they're able to develop a fast, agile gunship that can hold up to 30 troops haul around 10 tons and mount a variety of weapons.

So far you just have the one prototype but it is ready for mass production. (you really oughta name this thing...)

Okay you have 4 RUs left.

Keep in mind the Fat-Boy isn't just an old soviet style VTOL craft, its a Soviet Style VTOL craft that's been turned into a tilt rotor. Mostly because the idea of a giant fucking titlrotor cargo helicopter amused me.

If you DO turn it into a Gauss AC-130 variant its gonna basically lose all of its cargo capacity and become full of Gauss Weapons and power devices for its engines and only really be useful for killin' things. Expensive but useful.

My problem as the silly bitch that's been trying to strategize for this shit is that I've got the resources split four ways already. That's assuming we've already got everything else from here: >>21649967

1 RU evenly split on recharge rovers and mech-suits; a portion of these mech-suots (perhaps one in three) are to be armed with FIRELANCE gauss weaponry alongside full-auto crownbreakers and act as protection for the recharge rovers, using the rovers' capacity for energy handling to allow them to quickly power-cycle their Gauss effect weaponry.

1 RU to produce tiltrotor aircraft on the V-22 frame, evenly split between transport and gunship models.

Now, the mech-suits could be dumped and the recon rovers possibly also - or at least we could retrofit existing rovers - but the need for extraction aircraft is rather great.

If we can assume our helicopters are decent at being gunships as well as medivac and air cav vehicles, we can skimp and simply have three V-22 gunships and three troop carriers.

Your gunships are dedicated assault craft (with gatlings, chainguns, or autocrownbreakers, I don't care anymore, enjoy your flavour of death.), they can hold maybe six passengers.

Nah its the V-CH01 your Fatboy prototype, anyway you don't have a method to recharge mid air FIRELANCE using vehicles with your Sauron Maser yet. So you'd get maybe one attack run and then the fatboy would have to land and recharge,

basically when you emerged from your tower thecity was in shambles thanks to a gang of drug lords who used addictive chems to enslave people. This had been going on for generations and basically destroyed all semblance of culture.

The Parishioners holed themselves up in Light City Park, built a wall and over the years regressed into a barbaric society modeled on the Old Testament bible.

Okay you load up your Fatboy "Geist" variant with conventional artillery and other guns and stuff.

You give your Vulcan's Fire Lance guns and pair them with recharge rovers and heavy gun rovers to serve as ultra heavy weapons teams...

You convert several APCs into Ambulances and prepare them for attempts to take in pawns alive. The Darwinians are more than happy to serve as medics.

now you have dedicated gunships and transport versions of your original helos, thsoe will support your V-22 transports and you V-22 Gunship and Giest.

Now you have Auxilliaries. Samaratin Troopers (Uses Riot Armor, Longbow goggles, RPG Launchers, Assault Rifles, Shotguns, SMGs, Pistols, Grenades. Fanatical as all get out) or Darwinians? (Genemoded troops, power armored elite troops, CrownBreakers, SS/SA Missile Launchers, HMGs, LMGs, Mutant Attack Animals.)

We can't fuck around. The Samaritans are going to need to secure the Parish and stay on the radio in case weird shit goes down, and the Darwinians should form rearguard and see to their own facilities.

Both groups can have observers present, but it should be our necks on the line, our plan, et cetera. I don't want to we them for spilled blood because of incomplete FoF systems and confusion in the comms blackout zone.

We're bringing hundreds of our own troops as it is, to be honest.

Basically around the 4th or 5th thread these guys in chess theme powered armor raided the Parish, presumably to get at our tech (this was just after we crushed the vice lords once and for all.) They killed 50 Parishioners but we managed to steal one of their helos.

We've been trading blows with these guys ever since, now we're mounting an enormous attack on their base in Light City so we can take full possession of the ruins.

We've been building up to this operation the whole month. When 0 hour came I am proud to say that our Sentinels reacted with oiled precision and deployed Stage 1 of the Black Out Procedure. Using the Songbird devices we were able to generate a zone of influence that made wireless transmission impossible. This cut off the Majesty Base from all outside contact and opened us up for stage two of Black Out. Ballista Missiles and Artillery batteries opened up on the base. A combination of aerosolized copper and the organic carbon made use of laser weaponry difficult and interfered with the Radar systems of onsite machinery. This also obscured vision and gave us a psychological edge over our foes. (or it would have were we facing human opponents.) Regardless withing 30 minutes we'd managed to cut off the base's channel of communication and drastically decrease the effectiveness of one of their most lethal weapons.

>>21651082

From there 3 points of entry were laid down, artillery striked by howizters and Ballista missile systems were called in and the defensive walls were demolished. The pile of ruble would prove to be a difficult obstacle for most vehicles to surmount (indeed one of the enemy's APCs was near the wall when it collapsed, it had so much trouble extricating itself from the ruins that one of our assigned defusers managed to get close enough to disable the self destruct. The pilots were able to engage their suicide implants however.)

But the DAUNTLESS system allowed our tanks and APCs to crawl over the wreckage with minimal difficulty. We let the Goliath's take the first wave, 8 men were killed. The base was not infact garrisoned with tanks, it was garrisoned with ultra heavy tanks equipped with suitably sized lasers. There were six of them and we had extreme difficulty destroying the things until someone managed to get the message back to HQ that we needed Air Superiority.

>>
Poor coordination on our part lost us no less than 4 Victory Class Gunships, though on pilot did manage to take out one of the Ultra Heavy Majesty tanks by crashing his vehicle into his killer. That created a minor opening that our Goliaths, Vulcans, Teutons, and APCs attempted to atke advantage of. It wasn't enough.

Ultimately it wa sthe Attack Run of the Geist that won us the battle on the Tarmac. After flying in it managed to wreck two of the Ultra Heavy Tanks before being force to retreat after direct fire from the main laser weapons of the remaining Ultra Heavy Trio. The Faux-Soviet Construction combined with the resiliance of BARDING technology proved enough to buy our soldiers desperately needed time. With the Fatboy taking fire our Goliath's were able to get the kill shots and put an end to the resistance of the Majesty Ultra Heavy Tanks.

Left with a choice between taking what appeared to be manufacturing facilities and an air traffic control tower our disarming technicians went with the manufacturing facilities. They were able to disable the self destructs in the weapons manufacturing building, The Armor Facility, and the The Rations Facility. However the vehicle ammunition, electronics production facilities were destroyed when the factory's nuclear power plant went critical. The damage is fairly minor actually, aside from a relatively large crater (3 destroyed factory buildings) and a high level of radioactivity there isn't much in the way damage to the Base at large.

The Air Traffic Control Facility went up in smoke, and as per usual incendiaries and radiactive power sources are involved. From there our men did there best to disable the self destructs on vehicles APCs, and what we're fairly certain are scout helos (after having seen one of their cargo helos) were abundant and we were able to save a few dozen.

There were twenty cargo helos on site. They would've been able to haul 60 tons and act as transport for 120 troops. Like the scout helos they are powered by a nuclear fission battery that has enough fuel for fifty years, and like the scout helos they are lightly armed. We were able to save one, the rest went off like bombshells, thankfully we had ambulances on site.

There were probably 500 Pawns on the base, I mean this quite literally there were no signs of Bishops, Rooks, or Knights. There were no apparent commanding officers of any sort and after further introspection I must stae that the Pawns act more like hive insects than human beings in their actions.

I want to make this perfectly clear.

There were no humans at this base, just cyborg drones who must stay inside their armor to live. Apparently this base's sole purpose was to provide the majesty with armor, weapons, fuel, rations, ammunition, and spare parts.

>>21651281

I suspect I'll eventually suggest that we prod the Bishop in the direction of calling a crusade, yes, but by then his people will be sufficiently modernized that they won't take it as literally as Richard the Lionheart.

However, you would likely get further if you significantly toned down the zealotry and learned to enjoy the refinement of the theology of contributors like Leibnitz and Pelikan. It's pretty satisfying, really - their Christianity is closer to a balm that heals all wounds than it is to brick shithouses in platemail slamming into each other, which is pretty pleb by itself.

Once we whittled the Pawn's Nyumbers down to something more manageable we were able to capture about 40 of them, of those 40 we were able to dose 20 with ambrosia before the effects of the cyanide became irreversable (its really a very effective poison.)

We now have 20 pawns, and after shipping them back to the tower and cutting them off from all external communications we've come to the conclusion that they operate under a sort of hivemind. They become more intelligent when grouped together and givene wireless devices to communicate with one another.

They're actually somewhat dangerous and have attempted escape no less than 12 times in the past 3 days. As a precaution we've removed all sensory and communication devices from them and put them in cells lined with Faraday cages. Without external stimuls they sit stock still and do nothing, from the looks of things they'd stay like that until they died of old age.

Whatever if you want to experiment on the Pawns talk to the eggheads.

The Majesty base is highly radioactive and most of the warehouses were destroyed by self destructs. Even if we did manage to get some salvage from this operation our main goal here was always forcing the enemy out of our city.

The Base appears to have been built on the old Light City Airport, as such it is on the monorail line and could easily be connected to the network should we invest resources in rebuilding the monorail line. Furthermore this was once a large, busy, commercial airport, and before it became a battlefield it was in fairly decent repair. With some investments we could turn it into an Airport again.

Well, after we clean up all the radiation, craters, fire damage, and clear out the rubble.

That is because it is about empowering individuals and making them stronger, rather than creating a center of power which will only invite targeting and destruction.

Supple, anon. Supple like the elastic straps in pic related.

Maybe I'm in a silly mood, but I kind of want to do a solemn parade of coffins carried through the streets back to the Tower. Route it through Viktry Town at least.

We are men of science, not of religion.
We don't ask someone high up to save our ass.
Our armour is will.
Our weapon is steel.
We'll hold our ground of our own.

I'm counting the tank crew as pilots so its 76 dead.

Think of it this way.

you spent 200 years cowering in your tower. Now you just kicked one o fthe biggest, meanest guys around in the teeth. Sure you lost some teeth too, but you made him bleed.

>>21651535
Analyze and reverse engineer EVERYTHING. APCs. Helos, SuperHeavy tank husks, Pawns
Bring in DBRL for Pawns.

Thats like 4 resources, right?

Afterwards we must develop something against their SuperHeavy tanks

>>21651552
Fooooor theeeeee Empraaaaah

wait

>>21651532
Overall, we walked our people and all our hardware into a base riddled with fucking bombs. We then disarmed most of them.

I'm tempted to say that this WAS minimal losses, considering.
>>
>>21651551
Seconded.

Add their names to the cenotaph and bury them with full honors. Public day of mourning.
>>
>>21651552
I'm pretty sure we're a corporation. We're men of profit, and increased profit.

>>21651535
Here is my plan
1 to Detoxing the airfield(coordinate with DBRL)
1 to Project REVOLUTION
4 To CITADEL (am talking SAMs, Pop-up Turrets, and Other assorted nasty things)
and 4 to expanding our Power infrastructure.

>>21651557
Rolling for this!

>>21651555

I see.

And our K/D ratio is much higher, right? There were, what, 500 pawns there? ...though they were all disposable...
>>
Rolled 87

>>21651535
Rolling for Project Revolution.

>>21651564

We're cooperative, if I'm not mistaken.
>>
>>21651535
OP, you forgot to add the "Trade" into the pasta.
>>
>>21651557
We're going to bring everything we can into hangars and put it in lock-up before scavengers do.

Then we're going to reverse-engineer shit, yes.

First, though, is our merger with Darwin because IT'S A YEAR AFTER WE MET THEM AND WE'RE TOTAL BROS.

>>21651556
And then the buildings of that church get bombed.

We're a cooperative.

>>21651585
We once researched scavenging.
>>
>>21651582
>We're going to bring everything we can into hangars and put it in lock-up before scavengers do.

that goes without saying. And it's doubtful anyone will approach the battlefield in the coming months. In case anyone would be stupid enough, we can set up patrols of GunRovers
>>
>>21651567
That is still 500 dudes in Power Armor about as good almost as good as ours. 500 of theirs vs 76 of ours. that over a 5 to 1 kill ratio and they had super heavy tanks which is where most of our losses come from.
>>
>>21651564
Corporate Cooperative, you care about the bottom line but your more interested in your people's safety and the viability of your long term business plan. Chopping down ye old forest to make a quick buck is pointless if your grand kids are going to be stuck without wood products for the next 300 years.

You have a board of directors with representatives from each division, that includes things like janitorial, HR, customer services, and the worker's union.

basically you want to ensure your customers and workers are happy and safe.

If ensuring that means going and shooting your competator in the face 30 times because he uses human tests subjects for pharmacueticals so be it.

CITADEL:
5 RUs:
AEGIS system emplacements, each with a hundred mile range, with a central one at our tower and the other four fifty miles out in the cardinal directions so they're overlapping at the fifty-mile mark.

Everything else to R&D.
>>
>>21651564
Truthfully before certain revelations came as to the nature of Majesty and the Cincinatus I was all for attempting to negotiate, rather than continuing our little slap-fighting. And in theory I agree with the idea of Profit Is Important.

But at this point it seems to me the Most Profitable route involves making this *our* city.
>>
>>21651596

And come to think about it, their PA and troops are stronger than ours, considering the heavy cybernetic modification and hivemind.

We totally kicked their ass!
>>
>>21651592
Seconded.

>>21651596
Don't forget that we actually GAINED war materiel, not to mentioned captured their people.

They came away from this with more than simple losses; they're literally giving us shit here.
>>
>>21651610
That's human tactics and adaptation for you, but it's not like they had proper fire support.

Understand, though - this is both the danger and the hollow promise of AI.
>>
1 RU to decontaminating our new airstrip

1 RU to rebuilding and repairing it

then the rest to researching majesty tech, learning what we can from the factories computers and such
>>
>>21651606
seconding

Also, now taht we practically have Light city under control, we might think of super long-term project of rebuilding entire city.
>>
SHMIDTSBURG: Specialized Goods, DBRL Clinic, FG Consulate 2 RU
RED LIGHT: Basic Goods, DBRL Clinic, 1 RU
DRY RIVER: Basic Goods, 1 RU, DBRL Clinic
TWISTED NECK: Basic goods, DBRL Clinic 1 RU
>>
>>21651606
do it, might as well start by making us as close to nuke and missile proof as possible

I think this will give overhead coverage to a 200-mile radius area of ruins - one more ring of these and we'll have unparalleled detection and response firepower
>>
>>21651627
I think what might have damned the pawns was the fact we were using signal jammers, which prevented orders coming in or out, which meant that the perfectly obeident cyborgs became useless in a fight.
>>
>>21651634
If these add up to the normal 10 then...

Swimming in dosh all the day long!
>>
>>21651395
Now while I think we might be able to make some gains, it might be just as well to put them down and be done with it. I'm not confident that we have the means, resources, and all-around good luck to learn much from 'living' Pawns that we couldn't get from dead ones.
>>
>>21651634
We need 3 more FG consulates. If not now, then next turn. We need that recruitment boost!
>>
>>21651641
that was the smartest thing we did

if the KING was coordinating their fight.... then things might have not gone as good.
>>
>>21651648
next turn should be more fortifying the city and getting specialized goods and consulates to these places
>>
>>21651647
Heck no, we went through a lot of trouble to get them alive!
>>
>>21651647
However we should consider if a missive to the Republic wouldn't be a good idea. Though I am a little hesitant, because that's very probably a huge clusterfuck.
>>
>>21651647
We can learn signal transmission and reverse-engineer their language, actually.

That's why we want them here.
>>
>>21651662
It will be a good idea in time. Let's greet them from a position of strength, though.

>>21651664
This, basically.

We got the Pawns alive so we could use them to understand how Majesty troops communicate. With a little luck and a lot of grinding out conclusions with the scientific method, we're going to find out what makes them tick.
>>
>>21651662
I'd like more contact with the Republic to be honest.

Why haven't we set up caravan to their main city yet?
>>
>>21651656
>>21651648
Seconding, more or less. Next turn and the turn after can focus on finishing defenses, infrastructure, and recruitment.
>>
>>21651678
Their embroiled in a massive war with the Order of Cinniatus right now.
>>
>>21651678
Well, their main city is probably whatever's left of DC on the east coast. They're a rival to the Order of Cincinnatus and the remnants of the US government.
>>
Why are we waiting then?
R&D and more RUs!
>>
>>21651684
seconding.
>>
>>21651695
The first thing is defenses.

The response to losing a fight on the ground and in the air, if you have space-based nukes, is to escalate by hitting the enemy with said space-based nukes.

Hence, AEGIS anti-nuke defense networks all over the city.

Rolling for project CITIDEL then?

hey op, can we merge with dbrl or what?
>>
Rolled 89

>>21651713
Thanks. And here's a roll for REVOLUTION.
>>
A solemn Ceremony is held at The Tower, The names of the dead are added to the Holo Cenotaph and Daniel Pym, leader of the Sentinels gives a short, but heartfel speech about the men and women who died to ensure that Light City would be free of the influence of "Short Sighted Evil." With that done the Legal Department gets to work hammering out an agreement that will effectively join FG and DBRL at the hip.

It winds up being surprisingly easy. While DBRL used to worry about the bottom line 50 years of being prey to the Majesty forced them to adopt a more survival oriented approach, a such they were already further along to becoming a conventional government than you were.

Small elections are held and FG and DBRL members tentively give up their positions on the board of Directors to New Comers, they also make room for new heads of research that most people never even knew existed.

continued.
>>
>>21651689
That doesn't stop us from trading with them, right?

Also, how do our caravans look like anyway? I keep imagining them as buncha wagons moved by mules and horses. It's probably not that but still.

We could retrofit our caravans and use our super-heavy cargo helos for transport (with escort of course). That would be better, safer and faster than anything else. Also, a good show of strength to anyone.

Wish we could make something like the fission batteries that Majesty uses, we wouldn't have to worry about refueling then.
>>
>>21651722
Well, I have this plan for a mobile fusion reactor that involves airships actually. Because they're about the only things with enough lift, and because of the extra safety factor of the explosion being away from land and contained if things go badly wrong (even though they'd really have to try - fusion reactors just shut down when they fuck up, unless you blow them open or something and even then the damage is minimal).

Add to that the fact that the airship could extract hydrogen from the air, turn it into helium, and use the helium to fill its lift-gas envelopes and you kind of have a viable option.

Mind, they're far from a must. The atmospheric conditions at those altitudes are enough of a potential source of power all by themselves.
>>
>>21651721
I am imagining the DBRL freaking out about all the cool shit they get to play with now

>>21651722
Well presumably our victory here should help pave the way towards more ready access to the Geddonite supplies surrounding Light City. So we might be able to make some more in-roads on similar things with our own tech.


It occurs to me that there's the distinct chance that the operators/coordinators/hivemind of the Majesty forces (which spearhead the Cincinatus troops if I understand the earlier threads) might be a little too preoccupied fighting the Republic to spare enough cycles/resources to crater Light City. Not that we should take too much risk on that.
>>
>>21651763
We should take absolutely no risk on that. AEGIS systems are good for this sort of thing.
>>
The DBRL are roughly 1100 strong, they live in a 100 story scky scraper, the thing of the matter though is that they have a massive underground lab complex which is designed to seal itself in the event of an accident, or in the case of the Majesty, and invasion from the outside. It's how a group of people so unprepared for war were able to survive when confronted with a group dedicated to their destruction.

While you are partners DBRL wants to maintain some of its anonymity, however they're more than happy to share their research with you.

You can now use their genemod technology to upgrade your soldiers (provided you pay for the basic costs. 1 RU nets you 200 gene modifications.) They're willing to share their Power Armor modifications (Which are mainly biological in nature, not much use in your technological scheme,) They are also willing to share dozens of other less apparently use technologies. (Life support machines, pharmacueticals, medical training etc. etc.)

continued.
>>
>>21651763
I'm pretty sure that's what has kept majesty from taking over DBRL and us for the past 50 years.

I'm pretty the Republic and the Order have been at a stalemate for a long time
>>
>>21651774
>maintain some of its anonymity
I take it you mean autonomy?

I expect we're willing to share whatever we've got. Frankly, if we did some work in miniaturization, we might produce medically viable nanomachines or bionanomachines capable of extremely extensive life support and life extension.
>>
>>21651778
That is the most likely case, but we are quickly becoming a local power and are moving towards being a regional one.

If our power continues to increase, we will undoubtedly become a target. It is better to be ready.

This is to say nothing of the fact that they have probably maintained their stalemate with the occasional destruction of upstarts to prevent the creation of a powerful third force.
>>
>>21651778
I wonder where the Republic got their genemods? Dollars to donuts off of Majesty corpses after they got them from Darwin? Though I suppose Darwin doesn't have to be the only source.
>>
>>21651774
>They're willing to share their Power Armor modifications (Which are mainly biological in nature, not much use in your technological scheme,)

Great! Now we can research some some new type of PA that uses the tech of both of them.


Also, what are we going to call the new, merged Cooperative now?
>>
>>21651798
It's been hinted that the genemods are morecommon technology and not just a Darwin development, though we could definitely ask Darwin.

>>21651800
Since they've become partners rather than being absorbed, we're probably just keeping the name we've had for over two hundred years of survival.
>>
They are of course willing to allow you to operate out of their facilities in the watses but point out that'd it be better for both of you if you built your own consulates and backed eachother up when it comes to interacting with wastelanders.

[You know how in Civ you have allies? How sometimes those allies are douchebags who won't help you in war and take stuff from you without giving back? Well that's not what DBRL, they're Bros now. And bros help eachother out. For the sake of my sanity I'm not going full merger here, can you imagine the quest title? However they're bros so they'll always help you out. If you think DBRL can help, ask me and I'll see if they can and what it'll take for you two to get something done.]
>>
>>21651810
We're more of a corporate group then an actually merged corporation, like P&G.
>>
>>21651811
>>21651822

Hah, okay.
We should give them anything that we can. MBTs, APCs, Helos, PAs, Weapons, etc. Supply them with equipment basically so that they can defend themselves in case of we cannot make it.

They will have to fuel them themselves though (we can help with expansion of geoddite and biofuel farms in their skyscraper of course.)
>>
>>21651833
We'll also throw in rovers.
>>
>>21651833
>>21651843
Pretty much, yeah.
>>
>>21651786
yeah Autonmy, slip of the fingers. Anyway you're partners now, so you back eachother up.

As for Darwin, they shrug and state that the Genemods were for a government contract, they weren't the only ones working on them. They suggest you go through your old records and look for any government contracts you were involved in. It's clear that the Republic and the Order are both fractured elements of the old US government with very different belief systems. They probably have tech from dozens of different corporations lying around in their records somewhere.

They're right, your gun rovers are based on old Bomb Removal robot designs and even if people aren't fielding those the early designs for the bomb retrieval bot should be in government offices all over the country. (provided those offices are impact proof.)
>>
>>21651858
DBRL should develop new and better genemods
>>
>>21651866
As it was a project which required the efforts of multiple companies, it is likely beyond them without quite serious upscaling of their operations.

However, it might be managed in time.
>>
Okay I've archived the thread and I'll see you all on Tuesday Afternoon. Have a greay morning guys.
>>
>>21651911
Yeah, just confirmed we're auto-saging anyway.

Peace out, PNN! Get some rest.

And to you, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Board, the same!
