still suggest this

I suggest we explode all but one of the implanted zombies. keep the head+ any necessary organs of one zombie and scramble to produce a method of blocking their psi scrambling effects. I suggest we look into psi relays that can pierce the blanking effect, and materials that can block the signal or effect that the implanted zombie produces. This psi blanking effect will definitely not just go away if we kill all the samples. we only know that the implants triggered the effects, who knows they may have triggered a change in the whole hoard. we need to know everything we can about this phenomenon as quickly as possible.

>research Psi blanking, including Psi amplification relays to allow us to function normally inside the field, and Psi blanking shielding to negate the effects.

Rolled 16

>>30204848
One zombie will be just as bad as multiple zombies, if we're going to blam them we should blam them all.

We don't need to worry about their psi-blanking effects right now, because that only happens when they're implanted with our tech and our tech is (fairly) unique and (incredibly) difficult to manufacture.

I say

>Basic 1
Scout out the mines.

>Research
Try to find a way to replicate the strange signals the zombies give off for further research on them...then blam them all. Except Skelly.

>They seem to be moving with purpose and its worth noting that they have chained zombies to themselves. Some of the zombies seem to being used as packmules.

Just noting, but this might lead to a good opportunity for diplomacy.

One things for sure, they are able to get the zombies to act non-hostile to them.

That is something we could trade a great deal for. If they were here to do us harm, those guys, I don't see the need for the packmules if they could just order the zombies to swarm.

>>30204916
I cant imagine this not getting worse if we don't do something


>It was discovered that..our forces working near the zombies...the colony hivemind effect was somehow effected. This effect was not immediately noticed and it was only realized when our good doctor was wondering why everyone was acting strangely and were oddly inefficient.

my reasoning is that either whatever damage has already been done, and so we should carefully, develop countermeasures, or the threat is currently contained as long as we dont try to add more implants to new zombies the threat wont grow, and we should discover countermeasures to be safe.

The implanted zombies have been blammed and disposed off.

This Is MADNESS

When we decided to place Skelly near an implanted zombie..nothing happened. At all.

It looked to be a complete waste as both zombies dully continued doing whatever it is zombies due most of the time.

WARNING
Our former comrades who were taken to the hive have come out again...this time however they are infected. It seems as if they can't really move all that well so they tend to be escorted/carried around by other zombies. It seems as if they are encountering the zomborg problem.

It was sometime during their wandering around however that they got spotted by the other group who was wandering. They approached our former comrades and seem to have taken a few into custody. It looks as if they are being examined.

It seams like both the zombies and the monsters are stealing us and then trying to use us as weapons, or something, against each other or something to that effect. we are being treated as a resource, in the same way we keep trying to think of way to control the other factions, except they seem to be much more effective at it.

The trick is watching for writing styles and stuff that is brought up. Which allows me to spot familiar/repeat anons. I don't really pay too much attention to it as it may serve to discourage people from taking part.

Though i will admit that the name/trips can help lead to interesting conclusions. Sadly that only happened once so for the most part it doesn't really matter.

>>30206712
Yeah I have this feeling that we can ally with them but only for the benefit of dealing with the monsters other then that they have no reason to fear us.

I believe it is time to start coming up with ways to wreck the zombies or build a stronger fighting force.

>>30206764
I know I really want to save this damn vault just the fucker zombies think they can start shit.

>>30206777
think we should look into some way to produce psionic effects through machines, possibly build up to psionic emitters that make zombie heads explode?

>>30206777
Believe me, if you ever find an ally stick to them.

Betraying an ally has only led to destruction before, and if you build a reputation for being at each others backs in times of need they'll reciprocate the loyalty.

Find ways to use the zombies as a tool, not destroy them if you can.

Rolled 70

>>30206808
Remember to think about how things would react with each other. I rolled a 100 on the monster(meaning it puts Memor marsh to SHAME) yet somehow the other stuff was what it was. Thus one would think how this would all react with each other.

>>30206777
We could try for the psi cannons to make their heads pop. But we need to find/ get the resources. We could try the iron mine but comes with the risk of sounds.

>>30206855
I think that the zombies are the key to dealing with the monsters, maybe we should consider watching how the zombies deal with the monsters, also they are trying to hack our stuff maybe we should leave a comp with no network access out for them and see what they do with it.

Rolled 86

So what is the consensus?

>>30206828
>>30206875
Psi cannons sound good maybe we can focus them on the masters if need be, and if in the end they come to us in peace we can modify them to be able to take out monsters instead.
>>30206848
Okay having the ally would be very good for us right now we just don't know the zombies masters intentions right now. >>30206855

Well our forces rang up the zombies. We found that there were still some live connections in their hive that we used.

Sadly...they just kept on ringing and ringing until one day it was answered. Unfortunately the only thing we heard was surprisingly audible salivating and groans.

Meanwhile research into Recyclers have commenced. Our researchers are claiming there really isn't much to be done with it as its just a basic recycler matrix designed to create crude feed for printers and such. It is incapable of some of the more advanced stuff that could be possible. However they believe it could be possible to make it more efficient.

ALERT
The zombies seem to be withdrawing to certain key areas as monster activity begins to massively pick up. They seem to be concentrating in three areas.
Zombie Hive
Unknown Location
Vault Door

Meanwhile battle has been joined between the zombies and monsters. The zombies are being pushed back as we speak.

As in as long we get supplied we will do our best. You are VERY lucky to be in such a location! As despite the ludicrous amount of a hazards we have a number of ah clients around there too. So normally we would avoid this place but alas...its hard to give up such good tech.

Acquired Contact

Yet so too is the darkness dangerous as while it is concealing so too is oh so hard to pierce and ever so easy to bump into something..yet in the SHADOWS that of course is the best one. As we get the best of BOTH there we are concealed as we still have our sight.

All that I ask is merely to share data as just a beginning?

After all its best to take small steps...

Deep down in the bowels of earth along ancient railway system became active once more moving a massive quantities. They slowly moved and eventually.

there before our forces they opened up strangely garbed figures carrying weaponry and odd crates moving with purpose. They luckily told us which containers to loot.

"The materials you want is in the carts 1-5 we looted the old warehouses meant for vault 101 so everything you could ever want for your specialties you got in mass. We also made sure to put other stuff in of course but that stuff is more general and basic."

There are no longer any compromises within our system.

Acquired
Massive Stock Vault 101 Specialty materials
Large stock Project SiM materials(limited usage for now)

25 resource points
Large Fuel Reserve
Armory has been restocked
Food stocks provided
Water Stocks provided
Supplies Provided 50 units

There are now heavy duty garrisoned checkpoints at all possible entrances. Teams are on standby for purging of internal compromised systems.


Meanwhile in certain shadowy recesses figures slink forward with a clear goal in mind. Their purpose was simple all they had to do was place certain objects at key locations and secure certain key materials.

WARNING
Zombies have gone berserk!

WARNING
Monster Dens are collapsing.

And this time it was enough to pull through, although EDE's warning that we'd better hope for another 100 worries me.

That is to say, I wonder what that train woke up down in the railway...

>>30208934
>>30208917
We've played in research facilities like this before, the tunnels usually have safeguards for neutralizing any sort of chemical or biological agents we might deploy because that's the most obvious means of taking out a bunker of any sort.

On another note, I get the feeling that the shadowy figures are Umbra or one of their subsidiaries. They can act among zombies with impunity, they go on and on about shadows, and they want our tech...We should be wary of them.

Also, the military supply stash we had contained Omicron body armor and this military faction that is here to protect us is called OmniTri. Just pointing it out. I feel like these guys are the best bet and that we need to do everything we can to expand their power base.

Rolled 45

So now that we have resources and supplies we need to come up with what paths we want to send our research down...

I think looking into the ghosts is very important...we don't currently know exactly what they do or how to use them. We need to come up with a use for them. We also need to shore up defenses and upgrade the capabilities of our Hub/general hivemind network.

Looking into implantation of other species is a very important avenue of research, naturally...but before we do that I think we need to develop our abilities to use psionics (on a personal scale, just some basic attacks/fucking with opponents brains and making things not want to notice us) and find some way to make the ghosts comfortable inhabiting implants in other creatures. If we don't develop those first then we'll just have a bunch of borged up monsters with psi-sensitivity but no benefit out of it...that we can't control.

Rolled 99

>>30212270
>>30212159

Oh yeah, we also don't really know the capabilities granted us by our borg parts...and we really don't know what to do with our bioborg tech. Atop all this we have the psiborg/machine-generated psitech which we're not sure where to go with. (And we haven't even gotten into whatever is in the portions of the lab that are infested...also let's not let those fester, I suspect it's not just zombies in there).

But I feel like it's very important that we get something fairly effective working ASAP.

Rolled 9

>>30209047

>Basic 1
Go through all of the stuff we just received and catalog it. Describe pertinent/special things. (A report on what the armory has would be nice too)

>Research
Look into using ghosts as electronic countermeasures, to defend against hacking and attack enemy systems. They ought to be good at this, as that's their native realm. See if there's any way to integrate their psionic abilities into the hacking process also.

>>30212632
We should also look in to the "certain objects at key locations". This could be bad if we are not careful.

Rolled 95

>>30212734

Good point. (although I don't think that they put anything in our base, I think that's stuff that they put in the zombie hive and monster dens).

Either way, we need to develop technology before we can go outside.

Also, EDE mentioned further up in the thread that there's shitloads of monsters everywhere that put the Memor Swamp to shame...but still LOTS of factions, and we should consider how they interact.

Accordingly, I think that factions around here keep a very low profile and probably avoid monster inhabited areas religiously. Alternatively, they know how to control the monsters. Either way, monsters are the most powerful faction out there so we need to figure out something to do with them.

>>30212270
>>30212391
>>30212632
Generally speaking, really only your imagination is the limiter if you have supplies.

In the Memor campaign most effective was Dr. Richards fleshborg spiders, connected to an automated supplmenetary hivemind.
We started out with basics spiders, about the size of a bear, with different units like Jumpers which could leap and had incredibly tough jaws to rip through flesh or tear open tanks to get into the crew within, webbers which could lay webs big enough to capture cars or small tanks, spitters which could spew acid or fire or lightning, buggers which had incredibly potent sensors and could lay bombs, and Mothers as large as a giant tank who could lay their eggs in monsters and multiply them.

Then we got bigger. Upscalled them all to the size of tanks to combat the even larger behemoth class vehicles. Which could be piloted by our men for improved efficiency, and our Tank hero gave them her skills. Thousands upon thousands of the original ones would ride on their backs as the big tank sized ones charged into enemy ranks.

Near the very end we were working on making behemoth sized spiders but the end came before we could really make more than the first colony.

Needless to say their specialty in tunnel warfare and ability to keep it contained and patrolled automatically was very usefull.

And these are just the start of the things we tried with Dr. Richard

Rolled 65

>>30212867
Maybe we can try the same thing with ants. Dr. Kharr knows ANTS ARE BETTER THAN SPIDERS RICHARD!

>>30212867
Hell we could try specializing our borgs like we did with the mutants.

Stealth class mutants, the Tectus, with chameleon DNA, who could cilmb walls and the speed of upscaled lizards, and sexy lizard women

Psi class mutants who could detect and help combat enemy psykers

Vixen and Viroz, shapeshifters and incredibly handsome/pretty with a thing for diplomacy and subversion

Microwaves are more under the "laser" aegis of tech, which isn't our specialty. We're more about mechanical (and some biological) enhancement of the human body/mind.

Military groups already have VR training pods...though I guess being able to directly download knowledge *would* be more efficient than that.

>>30215770
I kinda prefer the emitter personally, but I think that a raygun would be easier to sell.

>>30215790
Does our armory have a vr training pod we can test this idea on? I would think so...

>>30215814

I still don't see why we're developing a microwave gun to cook brains, don't you think that's been tried?

>>30215837
I think only military bases are equipped with that sort of gear (and the programming to run them). We would, of course, get around not having programming for combat training by just downloading the memories/instincts of veteran soldiers.

>>30215814

"Selling" is a bit more on the megacorp side of things than the think tank side. Our goal is to come up with (several) game-breaking technologies while keeping our allies strong enough to protect us from the repercussions of having them.

That's why EDE gave us OmniTri. They're the military faction assigned to protect us, that's how think tanks work...secrecy and patronage. He also made them weak/strained "If only you knew how much we had to deal with and how little we can do." because we're supposed to make them stronk enough to dominate like the military guys in the swamp did.

>>30215863
By who we are making a psionic gun, we are the only ones basically in the world that are messing with psy-tech, at least that I know about. That's why everybody is jumping hurdles to help us. They want psy-tech we can give them psy-tech, and I believe we can create this in 5 or less turns with a budget of 5-8 resources. We can get this product on the market by Christmas. You can shoot down this proposal, but I think it's solid, and as a think tank I think we should think like this.

>>30215989
We don't do the manufacturing or marketing, but we develop the product. We have all the megacorp contacts we need now.

>>30216005

I've mentioned how and why I think it's a bad idea to use psionics on zombies. These zombies seem especially well adapted to fuck with psionics too, judging by what happened to our hero when he hacked one's brain. Deploying psionic weapons against them in a scale larger than 1 or 2 guys (which would be pointless) seems like a sure-fire way to bring more than we can handle down on our heads.

EDE's already warned us about messing with psionics and zombies, I'm not inclined to pursue that path without extensive research into its repercussions first.

Rolled 92

>>30212632
The stuff has been reported as for the armory they basically restocked it in mostly civilian grade arms along with a surprisingly decent stock of Advanced equipment that would be expected for a think tank to have.

Basically good cache of ammo, plenty of civilian grade gear, and a stash of more oriented equipment deal with an accidental experiments gone awry.

Ghosts are able to act as such....to a degree but we are not exactly clear on whatever it is that is limiting them. Not to mention psionic abilities that translate to tech is still EXTREMELY experimental that alone will take quite some time.

Improve our base how? Also, we might need to do research before we can upgrade our psi-tech labs.

I'm also fairly uncomfortable with how people are DIVING into psionics exactly like we shouldn't be.

I can go with that, general upgrades for the ghost hub, keep it up to date with our latest tech, maybe a software patch.

Improve the facility we use to create psy-tech. We are gearing up to do a lot of that soon.

>>30216352
I agree we new to focus in tech so that we may help our protectors.

Ask omnitri to update us on their current situation and then we help them by creating some form of ground breaking tech for them.

>Mad Science (or just research, if people prefer)
Start to develop more gentle (that is, easier to apply/take off) psi-brain interfaces that don't require full-blown implantation surgery to work.

>Basic 1
Expand/Upgrade the power of The Hub using our newly acquired equipment.

Its okay anon let them learn the hard way of what happens if you don't test the water first before diving in head first(granted this will be the second time now).

What is project SiM? What can "Supply" units be used for?

We are psy-tech developers. It's omnitri's job to test and fine tune the works we make, we need not worry. THINK TANK

We will get an army soon, I promise, but until then we have to do what we are paid to do.

I think we learned. That's way i'm making sure our labs can handle the work by working to upgraded them. Make sure to have rooms that are well shielded and take our time. One step at a time.

it just dawned on me, we could give onmi the still-alive-for-some-reason implanted zombie. This tech is to powerful for us, maybe they can handle it. It proves we have been putting in work.

>>30216471

Why do you think OmniTri is a company? We know nothing about them. Also, we're borg-tech developers who happen to have gotten lucky with breakthroughs in psy-tech.

No. I worked hard on this fluff.
