You get your workers together and set them to their task with a will. APCs are specially modified and work gangs are ferried to and from supply depots to construction sites around the city.

Sometimes Sky Scrapers or Parking towers are coopted and repaired, sometimes defense towers are built from brick, mortar and steel. Regardless of their make and model structures with Radar and LONGBOW modified Missile Defense systems are built around the ruins of Light City.

These structures reach from the edge of the 250 mile expanse of ruin to the very core of Light City.

You have seeded the city with Anti-Air systems and Early Warning Radar devices.

Welcome back, OP. Got to run out for a while to pick up the lady, but I'm here.

>>21676953
Is that the equivalent of a full AEGIS system, or not so much?

>>21677026
yeah its an aegis system specifically designed to shoot down nukes, as you guys requested last thread.

So you needed a Radar Warning System, a blanket of missile systems, and maybe a token flak gun or CIWS system here and there.

Problem is that it all mostly depends on R&R Angel and your own ground side comm systems to work and the sites of your launch systems are guarded and maintained by a skeleton crew, mostly consisting of a guy in power armor with IT training backed up by who, or whatever he can find.

>>21677013
hey RL comes first, take your time EL.

>>21677102
Thanks.
>>21677090
I think the other four RU were going to be spent reverse-engineering whatever we recovered (hands off the pawns, though, those will require thinking) and hauling the rest into storage so scavengers won't get at it.

Of note is anything we can integrate into RINGMAIL/KINGSLAYER, like the artificial muscle fibers to supplant our presumably cylinder extension limb systems.

Angel should be on overwatch to give us early warning of aggressive action in the area and any weapons sat movement in space.

Rolling for research in this post.

Right, back in half an hour.

Might want to bump the thread to get it rolling, the image in the OP is less than typical for you.

>>21677154

Why not, sounds like a good plan. Now that we are partners maybe can coordinate with DBRL on how we want to tackle the Pawns. Their scientists wanted first crack right?

>>21677231

Im for it, artificial muscle fibers sound great for a lot of reasons Power Armor nonwithstanding.

File: 1353462809292.jpg-(569 KB, 1300x605, 1352859091757.jpg)

A great deal of War Material has to be lifted from the ruins of the Old Light City Airport. Of particular note are the intact systems of the devestated manufacturing facility. These are loaded into transport Helicopters/VTOLs and loaded onto APCs as well. Without the Majesty to serve as a threat its quite easy for your soldiers and workers to move the equipment and salavage back into the Tower, where it can be kept away from scavengers and decontaminated.

Your Scientists meanwhile get to work on improving the strength enhancement systems of the KINGSLAYER design, using the Abundance of intact Pawn MK12s they're able to prototype a form of artificial muscles. Making them stronger than what the Teutonic MK4 uses will be prohibitively expensive, but it should allow you to give the suit the same amount of strength while taking up less room. The majesty also has a tendency of lining the artificial muscle compartments with a thin layer of antiballistic materials which adds a small, but noticable protection factor

>>21677273
>>21677273

So does that mean we have to retrofit all existing Power Armor for RU or is that just what will happen to all our new troopers?
Also is the antiballistic material included or excluded(and more of a suggestion) in the development?

R&R angel manages to attain a position from which her spy systems can be used to monitor Light City and alert the city of any incoming projectiles. She's Also tied into the Aegis Defense network and providing the towers with a communications network that will let the LONGBOW software coordinate. There's also a less effective, but hardy wireless network in place on the ground.

AW YESH, Fabrique Generale Quest is here!

>>21677318
its flavour text. Less you're at... 3 RUs.

You developed a prototype. Putting it into mass production will retrofit all your armors with it and make sure all new armors will have the tech included.

>>21677336
Right, then I suggest we put 1 RU into developing the artificial muscles into prosthetic limbs and such for our wounded(as I understand it several have lost limbs so far).
Put 1 RU into developing modular weapons systems for our heavy Power Armor(like RPG/Missile pods, SONATA attachments that sort of thing)
The final RU being up for grabs

We need to expand our recruitment and influence. I want mutual defense treaties with all of the local towns, with consulates/recruiting offices at all of them.

>>21677336
How much RU's is it going to take to put it in mass production immeditly?

>>21677382
>>21677383

I'm for the two of these.
Lets just not try an be to aggressive about recruitment. Open the consulates as a first step and ask to staff them with security. We'll proceed after we know their feelings better.
Any counter suggestions?

Up until now you've mostly been using hydralics and servos for your prosthetic limbs. Nerve Sensors and brainwave reading devices have served as the main method of controlling these limbs.

Recently your scientists have discovered a way to mass produce Artifical Muscles. These muscle act much like organic muscles and are stronger as well as more resiliant thn natural muscles. You've replaced your line of old prosthetic limbswith a new one that makes use of this hard won technology.

We need to solve that problem now (if you havent already (sorry still reading))

Better AI, focused around a core of not being able to be hacked

as well as having R&R Angel create some auxuallary visual monitoring satellites with 2-3 fighter craft for defense.

>>21677160
I like this roll thank you Equity Lord.

>>21677569
We should use this tech to replace all the muscle in a human body, using a small bit of the existing muscle tissue from each group to activate a control switch for each new 'muscle', to allow natural control.

Might have to put some thought into bone strengthening in order to keep the muscle torque from snapping the bones, but still i think this is worth the work. Super size my supersoldiers please!

Lab rivalries make development of new technology a tad difficult, especially in concerns to the Heavy Power armor systems. The rejected hover tank designers are now working on project CHECKMATE the attempt to reverse engineer technology from the captured Majesty Materials.

Jockeying over resources prevents much needed supplies and personel from being assigned to the VUCLAN project and your researchers are only able to develop software to run the proposed weapons systems.

(+10 to next Vulcan Secondary weapons roll)

>>21677617
I never got no prosethetics, they said I couldn't be trusted with them!
Said using them as nutcrackers was irresponsible!

>>21677640
'cause the 'nuts you were cracking was hanging between the legs of some poor sod that got in your way when you was drunk!

Can we ask the DBRL chaps to run helicopter exploration patrols?

>>21677724
yes make them do the work :)

>>21677639

So do we need to roll to establish those consulates in the other villages?

>>21677724
if you provide them with helicopter for those patrols and exploration runs yes.

You could also do such things yourself.

>>21677619
Well you have 1 RU left, and maintaining overwatch position is no big deal so I'll let you roll for an auxillairy satellite to help you keep an eye on stuff.

so yeah, specify what you're doing and then roll for it.

I guess next turn we can build solar panels for them as their low maintance and very realible.

You encounter an old library. The elements, and the savagery encouraged by The Vice Lords, have not been kind to the place. Most books have been utterely destroyed by the elements. However, deep in the basement you find digital records of newspapers, technical manuals, fiction and non fiction books, movies, tv shows, video games...

The entertainment industry of Pre-Impact America was large and healthy, you had the undeniable classics and pretty much the whole of the patent office in your copy of the library of congress.

>>21678214
This with the 3 left over going to fortifying Light City

>>21678198
By the way PNN, Would energy shields be viable in this setting?

The bombardment lasts for roughly a week, it becomes clear that the objects in question are not nukes but steel rods. 6 feet thick, and 36 feet long. They fall from the sky in waves and the Aegis defense system can only keep up with so much.

At best you're capable of focusing the missile fire to divert the steel rod into uninhabited areas. After about a week the city looks like a warzonje, before this event the buildings were merely neglected, crumbling into ruins due to time, nature, and the occasional gang war.

Now vast swathes of the city have been reduced to craters and smouldering ruin.

The bombardment ends with the detonation of a missile over the city. It leaves the ruins blighted with radiation. The crops of the Parishioners are dead and rad-sickness is rampant.

You're not the only people effected, the radiation has seeped into the water table and the irradiated dust is on the wind, people are going to start dying from radiation related illnesses very fast very soon all over the wasteland.

>>21678307
i like this question

>>21678307
Why else would it be called Light City?

can you immagne the result of a 1?

>>21678434
We would be wiped from the map, I'm thankful this was just a dirty bomb.

>>21678429
Agreed.
Also spread the word about the radiation spreading and that everyone should take any precautions they ahve against it.

>>21678429
I agree with the last ru also put toward the deradding

>>21678434
I actually think he was responding to the 40 something rolls. We only get three rolls in total per action after all.

The Parishioners crops were destroyed by radiation, they need a new source of food.

Food and water all over the wasteland is being contaminated by dirty bomb that detonated over Light City, people are getting sick and dying all over.

Your city was heavily damaged by the bombardment, many sections of the Aegis defense system were destroyed and have to be rebuilt.
[yeah energy shields are only really gonna be useful against radiation or other energy weapons. Physical objects...not so much. You could use 'em to make agony fields to impede intruders I guess.]

Spend 1 RU developing a means to drive the PURGATIVE elements necessary (the organic stuff should do) deep into the water table.
Spend up to 8 RU to distribute it over the city and outlying communities with a focus on saving people's lives and recovering the water supply, and repeat as needed.

Send out relief shipments of food to the Parishoners, and open the tower to them.

Send out radio messages to nearby communities welcoming them to take shelter with us; use OVERCHARGE to its limit if necessary in sending out relief aircraft.

Next few turns are going to involve ramping up to the creation of a satellite launch platform, preferably airborne.

>>21678549
I'm suggesting doing it my way because it lets OP more or less give us the most effective response he can think of rather than having us try to get the most bang for our buck.

No that was the resuolt of a 90ish roll. It let you deflect the bombardment away from populated areas of Light City to unimportant targets and sacrifice Aegis Defense points to keep the Majesty bombardment from striking say...

If it was, it would contain nuclear materials that would then fall on people or come down as atmospheric fallout.

That doesn't really get around the problem. Anyway, I'd much prefer if we took over the thing after building something designed to do so.

The effects of the Majesty Dirty Bomb are far reaching, as such you need a way to get into the water table and disperse purgative elements that will either A: completely romove radioactive contamination or B: bring it down to a level where its effects are no longer harmful.

To that end a variety of drills, pile drivers, shovels, picks, and other powered digging equipment is developed. This along with a carefully programmed and tested modular construction system should make future attempts to excavate and tunnel much easier.

That said you only have the one prototype, and its on PURGATIVE duty.

Now recalculate those odds after 90% of the humans on earth have died.

>>21678791
thank you sir!

>>21678791
I kind of wanted to set up a purgative water treatment facility has this would lower the success of dirty bomb contaimation of the water supply.

Blue Goo and Purge are the main elements of PURGATIVE's detox chemicals. Purge binds itself to radioactive particles, and marks itself as a toxic element to the body. From there its carried out by the natural processes of Flora and Fauna's waste removal system.

Blue Goo manages to render radioactive materials somewhat inert via a series of very volatile chemical processes, as such its very toxic. The byproducts are easy enough to clean up though.

At the moment your scientists are stymied in figuring out a method to pump enough puragative substanbces into the watertable without poisoning it. They're working on it though.

(+10 to next Ground Water Roll.)

>>21678855
Look to even get a water treatment facility running you need a way to produce water that doesn't need to be run through 10+ chemical processes to be drinkable. Blue Goo is useful because it gets rid of Rads but it's extremely toxic and onbly suited for small scale clean up operations.

Once you have an acceptable substance then you can build a water treatment facility.

Start selling guns to anyone who hates Majesty in return for food. Also, that massive orbital bombardment probably attracted attention.

>>21678833
Tell me what the odds are for a nuclear-powered one with a nuclear arsenal breaking apart and spilling fallout all over a region.

By the way, it's estimated that two hundred thousand people died because of the Chernobyl fallout cloud.

That's more my concern.

>>21678983
Very little hard Radiation. Almost no chance of it being in a sufficient density to kill people.

>>21678895
Shitloads of Purge in the groundwater, then. Up to 8 RU worth of it in the groundwater and administered to people and put into food relief and etc should do the trick for the moment.

>>21678948
I don't think our food production facilities were contaminated.

>>21679022
I was actually born about three weeks after Chernobyl.

I can't get a tan now.

That wasn't hard radiation either.

>>21679040
neither can I get a tan sir.

[I didn't see any other rolls for this so I rolled myself, you got a hundred]

Your chemists work overtime to find an answer to the Blue Goo Problem and eventually stumble upon a sollution. The resulting substance, while irritant, shouldn't be lethally toxic to anyone who encounters it, at worst it should cause a nasty rash. (if you're allergic you die. But there's no way around that.)

This substance once released into air, water, or soil will reduce radioactivity by up to 90%. It's not a perfect cure but it should reduce the impact of radioactive fallout immensely.

[so yeah, you got that chemical you needed. Now what?]

>>21679071
You don't work in the sun much, I should expect.

>>21679087
I only got a tan on my arms.

>>21679022
You do realize that even a little "soft" radiation can have horrific effects on unborn children right? EL's concerns are quite valid.

>>21679078
Now we spend up to the rest of our RU this turn releasing it and doing the other stuff mentioned here: >>21678526
Which includes:

-Sending out airborne relief shipments of food to the Parishoners, and open the tower to them on a temporary basis if necessary - though the bunkers in V-town should also suffice.

I look like I'm one shade removed from a fucking albino, have a slightly underdeveloped respiratory and circulatory system, am more susceptible to pulmonary troubles of every kind, etc. And I work outside plenty in a job that keeps me pretty fit, or would if I didn't have that shit.

I live close to the tropics, too.

I got a very minor dose.

>We've also sent their people to Darwin's hospitals by now, probably.
i hope so...

We began Operation Vaccine roughly a week after The Wrath. There were worries that the latest round of chems from Purgative would have unforeseen negative effects but the risks involved in its use outwieghed the risks involved in witholding it.

We developed a variety of ways to disperse it, the most common method was to take a Triumph Transport Helo, modify it with extra fuel tanks and a dispersal system and have it fly to its maximum altitude and release the Providence chemical. The substance thankfully lives up to its name. Roughly 1 in 100 men, women and children will die thanks to allergic reactions caused by exposure to the chemical.

However many, many more lives will be saved thanks to the release of the chemical, HR has decided that keeping our knowledge of the consequences of releasing Providence into the environment to ourselves is for the best at the moment.

>>21679228
I mostly mean during events like the Majesty raid that killed fifty of them, or other assaults, Parishoners probably got hurt badly enough to get sent to the Darwin hospital.

>>21679245
Maybe we should have refined it further. Fuck.

Guess we can pay people raparations and put up a monument to the unknown victims of the assault with a plaque that says 'to those that died when our hand was forced by those Majesty fucks burning the immediate area with their bullshit weaponry.'

We should go public in at least that way.

We have Good News and Bad News. First, the bad.

The allergic reactions to Providence in most people are fairly minor, an itchy rash and a noticable increase in appetite.

The 1 out of 100 experience agony and even the slightest breeze can send them into fits of screaming, this is stage 1. Stage 2 involves the total break down of the nervous system, this is met with relief as the subect is no longer capable of feeling pain. Stage 3 is a quick, merciful death. The men and women at DBRL are hard at work finding a way to treat this, but not everyone ha stheir advanced facilities and its likely that a great many innocent people are dying in horrible agony right now.

The Good News is that Project Vaccine is successful. The Radioactive follaout is being cleared away by partially by The Triump Helos, partically by specially modified Ballista Missiles detonated high in the atmosphere, and partially by pumping as much of this susbtance as humanly possible into the water table.

Continued

With Each Day that follows the ambient level of rads drops, further and further thanks to our efforts to contaminate as air, water, and soil with the Providence chemical. It's a high price to pay but we've managed to use science to do in weeks what would normally take nature centuries.

Our efforts to supply the Parish with food have not gone unnoticed. Some surly people are claiming the wrath of god fell upon the city. These people have not been publicly flogged as before but they're finding the clergy enforced shunning to be particularly unpleasant. Interestingly enough the Parish are recieving converts from around the wasteland. Apparently the bombardment of light city has quite literally put the fear of god into these people.

Using Rock & Roll Angel we've begun broadcasting across all radio bands with a repeating message. It can best be summed up as " We of Light City offer our services and charity in these hard times. Illness will be treated and succor will be offered to the weak and wounded."

continu

We have found ourselves swamped by the sick and the wounded. Many communities have lost people to the Radiation Sickness (and now to Providence) and they are turning to us in the hopes of recieving charity.

While the initial burst of radiation has killed of some vegetation plants are making a comback. Frankly areas just a hundred miles out from Light City haven't been strongly effected by the rads when it comes to their crops, warts, tumors, and other imperfections in your produce are irrelevent when you need to fill your belly. Apparently the radiation was only focused enough to outright kill off Flora and Fauna in Light City, elsewhere it just causes mutation and sickness.

At the moment several communities have sent delegations to us in the hopes of getting medical treatment, uncontaminated food and water, and aid in dealing with the Bandits, for whatever reason they've become a much greater problem after The Wrath.

You recieved a very large number of recruits, as such your numbers have been adjusted accordingly.

People from several communities would like food, water, medical treatment, and aid in dealing with banditry. You even have a repreesentative from new sparta who would like to negotiate with you for medical treatment for the city's elite and their skilled slaves.

A week after you destroyed the Majesty base the Republic won an engagment against the Order of Cincinatus's army and they've been pushing westward ever since.

>>21679571
I'm working on a plan just now that should serve all concerns equally, give me a moment.

>>21679587
so far mostly just the guys you trade with as well as people from John's House. Those cities have roughly 10000-15000 people, then there's people from villages, tribals mostly. there are a few farming communities though. They have about 1000-5000 people in their communities.

Oh and there's John of New Sparta, a wizened man of 45 who represents his city with Dignity and Patience. He's stopped short of begging you to send medics to tend to his people and made a point of mentioning the plight of sick, hungry, slaves.

Oh, and recently you received a package. It was delivered by a young tribal woman who quickly left. The package is a small box that contains what appears to be encrypted communication equipment. The device looks like it'll tie into a satellite network and it has the image of a pawn wearing a crown stamped into the base.

>>21679706
Hang on there, Echo. We're still getting information here.

>>21679717
so, to handle this item, we should set up a secure facility with no network access, and hook the device up to a computer in an isolated room.

for transmissions we receive from it viewers should only be viewing it second or third hand at most, cameras recording the video displayed, microphones recording the audio, this should prevent and subliminal messages from getting through, we should also analyze the transmission for any background data in case there's useful information being masked by the rest of the data.

>>21679717
Build the memorial to the unknown victims of Providence in our front yard, and take responsibility. We admit we fucked up in acting too fast in the dedication, but we make it clear that ultimate responsibility rests with Majesty. We quietly spend some time and energy finding the families of the victims of Providence's lethal allergy and offer them the choice of extremely good care or a reparations payment, 1 RU can be spent on this initially to endow a trust fund for it.

1 RU to reverse-engineer the package contents in its own dedicated, hardened, isolated lab. Not our primary cyberwarfare center.

Track the tribal that delivered it. Use whatever it takes.

1 RU to develop a mobile system that can be transported by a Triumph V-22 transport to afflicted communities and contains a kitchen, a small hydroponics system capable of sprouting new plants and easy upscaling/greenhousing, a prefab water purifier capable of industrial output, radar detection to the horizon to detect incoming forces, communications and video throughput to a centralized system at the Tower, a barebones medical suite (as complete as possible, but enough for some disaster relief), a prefab watchtower with a sniper roost that can be assembled on site, a command center, and possibly the machinery to manufacture and disperse Purge and Blue Goo.

For the delightful Rock & Roll Angel, may your path be riddled with easy and delicious scavenge. Amen.

The package is sent to the Crypotology Lab.

Studies of the device indicate that it does not contain malware or any form of malicious hardware. It is designed to be connected to a variety of communications devices, anything from ham radios to sattelite phones.

Aside from that you can't tell much about it without using it. You'd have to be in a place that can be reached by satellite communications and you'd have to use a communications device of some sort in conjuction with the Communications device.

>>21679948
That's our deployable relief command post. We can codename it a ROOK unit, because fuck the King.

1 RU to build enough of them to disperse aid.

2 RU to install consulates and create specialized goods for the other two major trading communities.

1 RU to upgrading our hydroponics and medical facilities to cope with the new need, or if unnecessary, to repairing defenses.

1 RU to fine-tune Providence and try to eliminate the lethal reaction.

1 RU to modifying and producing EYEBOT drones that effectively massively improve network throughput by acting as small relays. Their vulnerability will be offset by them being used as a secondary system that works on top of our hard-line and more dependable wireless systems and is in essence seen as low-security from the start, but when it is safe to do so they will be useful to some extent. Also good for non-military applications. Few solar panel strips on them and they shouldn't even put additional strain on OVERCHARGE.

1 RU up for grabs.

Diplomacy in next post.

>>21679948
No, do not admit we are acting too fast. What we done here, the Republic received a benefit.

Whether or not we attacked then and there, the Majesty base would always be the weed on our garden of Light if we do not remove the parasitic root.

Si Audes!

>>21679968
Diplomacy:

Obviously allies get needed assistance first. Any favors we ask Darwin for right now we'll repay later, they can keep a tab for us.

Trading partners are second-tier priority but still important.

All non-hostile comers are welcome to whatever else we can provide. Tribals that can be induced to resettle nearby and repopulate the city should be so invited, same deal as for the ones we invited to move in after the Molochian raid with the V-town residences for their young and old.

As for the bandits: send militarized CTFs with snipers and a few negotiators to control the bandit threats, first by informing the bandits that if they return to a non-criminal life they will be integrated into an abundant society and then firing warning shots, they're probably starvelings with few other options for the most part and would welcome some chance to not have a life of hunger, fear, and desperation.

The dedicated, hardened raders/slavers/bandits we either run off with lethal force or destroy, taking the opportunity to identify leaders and snipe them from a distance and then possibly giving them a chance to resolve things peacefully just to save on fuckin' ammo.

Sparta in next post.

>>21679948
Deployable relief command center can be a Dauntless Rover + Trailer combo that can be folded up to be carried with V22. No to ROOK naming, since using enemy names meant that we are acknowledging their superiority (even if only in design).

PERSEPHONE perhaps?

As for the Spartans: carrot and stick as follows.

Tell their representative that the position of Fabrique Generale is that care for their foremost members will cost them their practice of slaving and all existing slaves; if they agree to ally with us, they will receive mechanical hardware to allow them to industrially replace their slaves for food production and other essentials. They will also be given forgiveness for their past actions against us and an opportunity for an alliance, medical sciences, and education for their people, not to mention protection and support for when this next occurs. That's the carrot.

The stick is this: we tell them that if they refuse us, first off, we won't cure their people, and second, we're going to continue to participate in actions that will provoke this sort of regional response and it will happen again but we will build all our allies better defenses and leave them to wither on the vine because they are not as strong as they think against these threats, and third, we will immediately attack them, free any slaves, and destroy their military capacity - effectively ending their civilization - and perhaps carry off their best and brightest to reeducate in our facilities until the existence of the Spartans is forgotten, and that if they think they can take us to fucking ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ.

>>21680014
It's hardly about the majesty base, and the republic won't give a fuck about the 1% of locals that got killed.

In response to your off John states that he cannot accept it. Then he has you take him to a safe, secure location under the pretense of having commited some sort of horrible Faux Pas against your people.

He intimates that New Sparta is dominated by a military elite who have no grasp of the realities of the Wasteland, apparently he's a former war veteran and managed to survive six clashes between the Majesty and the Republic as an auxilliary. He has no illusions about what would happen to his people if they refused your offer.

He gives you a counter offer, if you supply his people with Officers drawn from your "Mightiest Host" and arm those officers with your "Most Ferocius Weapons" and back an army armed and armored with things like riot armor and automatic weapons he will accede to the demands that you have made.

In return for basically performing a Coup De Etat he expects that his people will be given medical care, advanced industrial tech, better agriculture, and a mutual defense treaty.

Basically what he's asking you to do is get like, 100 of your hardest motherfuckers to act as advisors to New Spartans. These new Spartans will be selected by John of New Sparta and whoever the hell he's conspiring with. You will put John of Sparta on the throne as King John and in return he will modify his people's society to better suit your prejudices. Better to give up some outdated ideals than die ignominously right?

You'd have to help them if they came under attack and you'd be obligated to give the New Spartans technology and resources to become a roughly 19th-20th century level society. In return they'd agree to give up slavery and serve as auxilliaries in any battles you participated in.

So yeah, you'd probably send a hundred guys down there under the impression of having medical supplies, then you'd give stuff to your new army and storm the gates.

Depends on whether or not you want to put John of New Sparta on the throne.

>>21680130

Puppet dictators are bad, they create more shit for us to manage than a competent, independent state would. The tally, the assessments, the replacement of the guy with its possible military cost, and finding a suitable successor is all energy better spent elsewhere.

We'll guarantee the council and effect stability, but if he's voted out for genuinely bad performance we're going to also guarantee that the process remains one of integrity. Transfer of power will be peaceful, but if it is needed it will occur - so long as he does well, Sparta will have him.

He's a capable veteran and understands that a shift towards better systems will not be a shift toward pandering to weak administrators and leaders, and probably understands quite well that the primary problem with the current leadership is that their understanding is weak; if he wants what is best for sparta and not personal power, he will enable weakness like it to be rooted out, regardless of where it comes from.

As long as it strengthens New Sparta and keeps his people from succumbing to the same fate that befell the original Spartans John is fine with abiding by the system of Standards and Practices that would be set in place (provided he is allowed to influence those standards and practices and mold so that they will better suit his people while still adhering the the spirit of the agreement.)

Excellent. If we can do it this turn, send in the medical teams and treat their people. As soon as possible (next turn? when the non-combatants are out of the way, which could be as easy as a few v-22 pickups) the government changes hands.

Let's do this then.

You send out a CTF group in a trio of APCs and start gathering samples of geddonite. Aside from becoming radioactive thanks to the dirty bomb not much has changed out on the Geddonite Plains.

However you do recover a Crystal Sample that seems to have taken a liking to radiation, it absorbs radiation faster than other samples of Geddonite and glows much brighter than most kinds of geddonite you've collected so far.

rolling for Project GREEN THUMB(hydroponics)

The hardest part in all of this is developing small parts that are simple and easy to replace. Miniaturization is a specialty of your manufacturing division however and your people manage to figure out how to put together items that will produce a greenhouse and hydroponics facility, A watch Tower, a Communications Suite. The whole thing is kind of expensive along with the proposed modifications to the Triumph Transport VTOL but it should serve the function of mobile command unit.

Is there some kind of bonus for how unlikely this is?

You cannot reverse engineer the communications device, it can onbly be pried and prodded so much, attempting a full disassembly will cause it to wipe its harddrive and then it will become so much scrap electronics.

You manage to track the Tribal woman for about fifty miles. Then she ducks into an abandoned gas station. At that point R&R angel was attacked by a swarm of fightercraft and forced to defend itself, though roughly 15 minutes after the attack the remaining fighter craft peeled off and left the satellite in peace (we were unable to subvert any of them.)

Futhermore our people on the ground foundtheselves ina communication deadzone similar to what our Songbird devices can produce. They were then subjected to bombardment by rubber bullets and Flash Grenades.

The area was then engulfed in thick white smoke and even after searching for several hours they were unable to find the Tribal woman or any sign of their attackers.

This could be our way to make a safe way to clean up radiation. Lets start researching it next month.

You expand the scale of your hydroponics production. You don't have the most complete stock of plants in the world but everything you do have in your seed vaults does have an industrial or agricultural application. This makes things simple, you dedicate several more levels of your tower to growing agricultural and industrial plants so that you can better provide for an increased population. (Or in this case provide those in need with charity.)

>>21680950
I'll respect your DM fiat there, I guess.

We could've just caught her and been told that she was given the package and payment using a dead drop arrangement and as such has no idea who dropped it off, but I guess the King fucking with us works too.

>>21680826
This was more meant to be something that, when disassembled, fit into a Triumph under its 10-ton cargo weight limit - and then assembled into a mobile watchtower and relief center.

We have no need for mobile HQs for our troops at this point, though if you want to give us one that's fine too.

>>21680712
Oh, good news then.
For cleanup, and for charging G-batteries since we could research a way to combine that with the normal battery to clean excess radiation from our own nuclear plant, rather than just stabilizing them.

>>21680950
Huh. That really tells something.
Not a lot of something, but something nonetheless.

That the box is a booby trap?

Your researchers do everything they can think of, and the ponly news they have for you is that some people will just flat out die when exposed to Providence, there's nothing for it.

However it turns out that exposure to Ambrosia is the quickest, easiest cure for someone suffering from "Revelations" as the term for the Providence allergy has come to be called.

You also have a number of other less effective, but less effective measures that can be used to treat a patient in the throes of Revelations, you may not have a way to stop the allergy but you can treat it.

Hydroponics etc roll.

That was worth the RU expenditure, I suppose.

Look if you want to know what the device does take it to a computer that's not a part of any network and activate it. The thing isn't going to magically leap off the table, walk into the next room and take control of your networks. You cannot automatically learn what something does by taking it apart, sometimes people take measures to protect their secrets.

As for the VTOL, okay yeah I flubbed, what I meant to do was give you what was asked for, bits and bobs that when put together make up the starters for a command base, my comment on the mobile command unit was more aimed at the radar and communications suite stuff. -shrug-

>>21681105
Understood.

And I'm not complaining about the computer device. Tracking the courier was more about finding Majesty alliesor assets and destroying them.

>>21681040
less effective but less expensive methods. Buh, where's my head at?

>>21681120
It's fine, man, no harm done.

>>21681105
Ya, ok. It's just the Wrath has made me more paranoid towards Majesty tech in general.

>>21681105
HEY HEY I like what you do/did.

>>21681119
okay point, and yeah you're right. It probably would've been way more sensible tojust say she has no idea where the package came from or how it works.

sleep deprivation makes for some poor decisions...

Well anyway, you're safe with the device as long as you take basic IT precautions.

>>21681167
No complaints here, and I realize I may have created confusion with my terse phrasing.

>>21681105

tasty tasty consensus. lets rock this boys and girls

and how bout a R&R Angel update for DR D? :)

In regards to distributing aid and food your workers and soldiers set up consulates in all of your Caravan Towns as well as John's house (description forthcoming) Further more the Villages are supplied with food and water by a corp of volunteers who travel around in APCs with a Single Goliath as escort.

You can't solve everyone's problems but your efforts to make the harshness of Post-Impact life a bit more bearable is much appreciated by everyone around you. Already some of the People whose livelihoods were destroyed by the wrath are sending their unwedded daughters, or eldest sons to join up with your people in the hopes that you'll be able to act as some last ditch safety net and keep them from starving to death.

>>21681220
Same here.

>>21681257
Hopefully the small greenhouses includedin ROOK will allow them to plant a bunch of new crops and cultivate better food than before.

After some common sense precautions are taken the device is readied and after a few brief moments of being activated a simple pictogram shows up on the screen. Its an 8-bit depiction of a pawn wearing a crown.

After the appearance of the pawn a single line of text scrolls across the screen.

"THE KING's eyes are tireless, we have fifteen minutes. Ask a Question."

Your techs tell you that you're actually accessing what appears to be the Majesty's communications network, though they can't tell you much, the device appears to be routing its signal through at least 7 different satellites.

>>21681308
"Why have you contacted us?"

>>21681308

>>21681308
"Who are you and why should we trust you?"

>>21681318
>>21681327
Seconding these, and also, "How do we shut down the King? What are its exploitable weaknesses?"

Damn it, forgot my question.

>>21681335
"Is there other ways of cracking the Majesty's comms network?"

>>21681308
Where are the locations of sealed warehouses of remaining supplies and techonlogy located on the globe, listed by ease of acquisition?

>>21681399
This is going to be lower priority, I think.
