Let's not encroach on Isabella, our lifeline, shall we? We're better off arming her caravans.

Teams went back to the strange place where our guys fell before. There we started digging around for more resources. We acquired what was left but even more interesting. The creatures were watching our forces. When one appeared and waved at some of our guys. It guided them to somewhere a sealed door where it gestured, then it disapeared. When our men came to break it open a massive amount of radiation was released enough to kill a human but only enough for a mutant to feel tingly. Inside beyond the radioactive material and some corpses. We found beyond a sealed door even more resources. After that we departed when the creatures were being drawn in and the 'corpses' started moving. After that our men swore that on their return they felt like they were being watched.

Overseer No-Mad went driving around in the vehicles. Which broke down repeatedly. The terrain is hostile ashes clog everything and the heat melts it. Not to mention it feels like being in a oven in the middle of a volcano even air conditioning didn't help much. We got a lot to work on if we want good vehicles. On the plus side though the thermal shields kept our tires from melting into uselessness.

First off we offer them comfortable accomodations (I'd assume that our tower has some of the most comfortable rooms in this area that is not filled with ash and is airconditioned), We also offer them a (quite) small share in our Corporation (bigger for Salsho). We also give them a stipend to use to requsition any materials, gems, equipment they need for the job or personal reasons (within reasons).

As for the rest we want all the bio mods and the resources, we might want to consider aborting the hydrogen deal (provided our volcanic gasses covers that).
As for payment we pay food, water and upgrading the Caravan with shields and cloaking units.
I assume it's understood that us hiring the SSS and Salsho is on the down low and should not be spread around.

Ask the SSS and Sinner Solsho what their starting price is? We can offer advanced shields, and we'll get them some advanced energy weapons eventually. They'd also get all the food and water they could want.

We should definitely try to acquire the Nomads and Tribals, for their scouting and scavenging proficiencies.

>>27766039
>>27765328
Resources are the most important. Get 2 of them. Whatever we have leftover to be used for the biomods and medicine.

"Thank you for your continued trade, Isabella. Remind your engineer's to voice any concerns or questions about potential shield imrpovements, and please tell them to actively take logs on their performance for us to make improvements. Aduro Industries greatly values customer and business partner input."

As for the contacts, let's open up individualized inquiry with them. Use Dr. Picli's speechcraft bonus.
Ask them about themselves, what are they pertaining to share, what do they think we can provide them or would like us to provide them, and how do they feel about coming under our employ?

>>27766197

We NEED to recruit the Tribals and Nomads at least for their scouting and scavenging proficiency respectively.

Ideally we'd get the SSS and Sinner Solsho, but it's more than likely that they're too expensive for us.

>>27766279
Yes, We add the tribals and nomads.
Hopefully we can just adopt them easily with our superior living conditions.

>>27766279
Hmmm, quite. Nomads would also be good because of their affinity or familiarity to shielding technology and usage.

>>27766310

You have to talk to them personally in order to see what terms they want. No one's going to join a group of (multiple different types of mutants) for cheap.

We might also consider getting more Gral. They might be able to detect what's been picking off our patrols in the tunnels.

>>27766344
In addition we should also checkup on the wax skinned creatures in time. They've shown friendliness to us, have been seen to have a knowledge of the lay of the land and resources, and we have MUCH to profit should we sucessful return the favor.

Dr. Picli had to bribe them with some shields and water to get them to open up.

Graz are mutants who normally run around in the usual packs in the outlands or gangs in the ruins. Until they ran into smarties who loved to hire them thanks to their abilities ever since then its proven quite profitable for them. Sure hard business to get into but well worth it thanks to all the stuff they get.

Nomads go around wanting materials for their wanderings. Food and water are easy enough to get on the move refined materials/finished product on the other hand much harder.

Nomads are the strangest wanting only materials.

The demons have postulated it might be Lurklas, which are very sneaky. Monsters are possible, but they would've left a mess by now and often there aren't even smear stains on the walls.

Yes, but we don't know what a Lurklas is in practical terms. Nor can we hope to capture one or otherwise set up negotiations for alliance or recruitment if we can't even see them. (think of how good they'd be as scouts)

We hire the SSS to clear out the tunnels, and then I really mean clear out, we want whatever that has been killing our men dead, all it's relatives and friends dead, its home pissed on, shot a bit and then cleared again to make sure everything is dead. Then they get payment.

And then hire the rest.

How about selective protection? That is, we don't know when we might come under attack from. . .certain forces, but when we do we would like aid. We'd also not like to come under the attentino of them, so sending you to attack them isn't desriable.

We can provide you 7/10's of the food, water, and what tech you like. When we come under siege, we provide the rest (and a hefty bonus) for you to come to our aid.

ok since sss are coming back soon i have an idea on how to secure the tunnels and possibly catch one of the sneaky fucks that we just had murderized.
we set up several barrier projectors along the walls in a tunnel (3 or 4 rings of 3-5 projectors) with barriers blocking the tunnels on either side of the trap as backup containment/keep somthing else from freeing what we catch.
so basicly when somthing comes into the center of our trap all the projectors activate and just create an ever shrinking ball of barriers until whatever is inside can no longer move (or is crushed to death oops) which we can then figure out how to deal with it best

Sometimes the young get restless and are(literally) hotheaded. So they get kicked out off and on to release some of it.

>>27768771
Mercs who salvage their equipment they can prove to be amazingly good at times.

Military spec borgs are either ancient survivors( most unlikely) or paramilitary conversions. They are quite potent and one of the few forces who can take on the Urgsha on roughly equal footing.

>Mercs who salvage their equipment they can prove to be amazingly good at times.
I take it they are good at salvage runs then (though it'd be a bit of a waste to use them for that. Perhaps if we find a heavily guarded dump or something).

>>27768964

They did indeed mostly about tuning, questions, and requests to make easier to repair despite lack of equipment/sturdier.

>>27768965
>>27768964
As in the stuff they use is salvaged unless their survivors origins they wont get a salvaging bonus. They tend to be quite good at jury rigging and homebrewing stuff as well however.

Ho ho, let's get them to buddy-buddy up with Picli on the laser lab then. How much to hire them just for that?

We need to get Dr. Picli on these asap.

SPECIAL Mark Arms and Info for *improved shields based on engineer input

>>27769285
Haha yes! An idea worthy of a promotion, but first we'll need a good enough rep for other caravans and I hope Isabella doesn't mind.

If anything at least she's acting as advertisement for superior Aduro Industries shields.

>>27769334
Alright, so what do you recommend should be changed?

also ede a thought just occoured to me: just because we have a mad scientist does that mean we can only do mad science or can we make a regular science roll if we are feeling more conserveative/cautious?

Quick question, I forget but is Isabella's caravan airborne or landbased?

Rolled 63

>>27769400
How long do you wish to hire them? Plus how long do you want those other mercs you hired?

>>27769379
Mad Scientists allow a Mad Science action you can do regular research with a basic action though. You also don't have to use Mad Science actions for purely research purposes.

>>27769527
Land base. All the ash in the air combined with general lack of fuel makes air units most rare around here.

Rolled 62

Voting this, except change basic 1 to >>27769188
and hold on the mad science.

For trade, tell Isabella if she stays a turn we can give her the new shields in exchange for SPECIAL mark arms, if not we like the resources and water.

Also this is on the presumption we are hiring Salvage mercs for both their technical knowhow and salvage run.

Rolled 57

>>27769647
I think you mean hydrogen, not water. Also we're gonna ask for some info for the improved shields. Vote

>>27769647
lets not make any promises (dice gods)
also 1 turn = 1 month
a trade caravan cant afford to just sit around twiddling their thumbs waiting for somthing we (cant)promise to give them (it would also be an abismal rep dive if we keep them waithing and we fuck up)

>>27769724
Grr, you're right.
I suppose we can't ask for company credit? Heh,

We'll just have to hope that she brings the SPECIAL Mark Arms next time (doubt it).

ok for mad science we have the salvage mercs assist/inform picli in ways to make shields more hardy and easier to repair in the field

Actually we're only using their technical expertise. But if for some reason they need to be on sight and we can't divide their members, shield improvement first.

If it comes to it we should. Plenty of water, light, and volcanic soil and fertilizer. The issue is space, but good thing we've opened up the tunnels a bit more.

The salvage mercs have no idea how to improve a lab...action wasted. They did try though its just that is not something that they can really do.

Nomads brought in a HUGE HAUL LIKE OH CRAP SO MUCH LOOTS.

1 LOOT(can be converted into ANYTHING or used as money)

Morale Loss
No-Mad forced our engineers to modify our vehicles with energy batteries plus slapped on some fuel efficiency on top of that.

Shields have been upgraded as suggested.(Extra sturdy from ash and easier to repair). Though it did admittedly cause a tornado made of ash to form during the process.

Banquet huh...wait I don't know how to dance or fine dining. I really should not have given them that frequency. Ah well maybe I can suck up to the higher ups a bit. As is still in hot water.


Demons attended thanks to Dr. Picli checking in they even brought some of their own strange cuisine.

Mercs stuck around for the celebration even the Salvage mercs though they left afterwards payment in hand.

The Urgsha meanwhile were quite loss their hatred of humans and having no knowledge in this made them bad company. They didn't cause any trouble though for some reason. Captain Morgan meanwhile desperately tried convincing us to ditch the humans and 'stay pure' basically going into detail about the evils of humanity and injustices. Got to give him credit he is trying...at least when his men are looking anyway.
