Do our heroes suggest that increasing our population is the only cost-effecitve way to boost our manpower shortage?

How can we be sure such an influx of people won't fall apart due to a lack of cohesion?

>>34258345
Also, how does our colony make its food and how much more people can it sustain?

Rolled 32 (1d100)

Ahh, the population shortage, how I missed you so. Well, at least we're humans so that's a pop growth boon right there.

You shold REALLY inform us of this sort of thing before we choose to do it.

What do we lack to allow bots to supplement our manpower shortage? We've been aiming for that for several threads now.

>>34258763
We even asked all our heroes what we should get, none of them suggested buying people.

>>34258633
At the moment it can't as our hydroponics down there...don't exactly have enough water. Instead they rely upon stores within the mothership.

As for how much they can sustain is however much we can provide or trade for. Not to mention allowing them to expand the colony.

>>34258763
I have informed you before of the increasingly severe manpower shortages.

Materials, advanced AI tech(which humanity lacsk in general, and the facilities to create a good variety of bot.

>>34258798
hm...perhaps they had reason to? Or thought you already knew?

>>34258595
It would certainly help according to them all.

You know what unites the wide variety of people coming to the colonies? The great frontier?

A new beginning. A new hope. Someplace to start anew along with others.

Its a powerful unifying force of which all the great powers are jealous of. Only the colonies are able to enjoy it and one faction of whom is made up of them.

>>34258845
You didn't tell us until now that using bots wasn't an option, nor that it was recommended we purchase population from caravans.

Oh so NOW they're finally speaking up. I swear to god on the most important things everyone is silent, and they only bother to speak in retrospect.

"From now fucking on, you TELL US right away something important we are doing. That's what makes you valuable as commanders, masterminds, arms masters, negotiations experts, you can ADVISE us on your specific field."

Glad to see this up. But dam it got to work.

For more complex matters the AI hubs are indeed not enough.

Action 2
Improve efficiency despite our small numbers. Creating more effective rotating schedules, ensuring proper training and supervising of individuals for specific roles as well as adaptability.

Such sorry rolls...

We have begun an incentive family program but haven't noticed it being all that effective and perhaps even detrimental. Whether this is due to there simply not having enough time to take effect or an error within the program itself has yet to be determined.

Unsurprisingly there is only so much you can do with so many people. Even the Mastermind states this is true even with a crack team on drugs with no need to sleep/rest can only do so much before they burn out. As for what can be done...not much besides cross training for adaptability and more/longer shifts. At the moment we hadn't have much luck with what we have tried.

Keep studying on the effects of our incentive programs, see if it needs to be culled immediately or if it can be improved. We don't want any errors that could haunt us in the future.

If it has to be removed, do so, but we do want this to work more than anything.

Action 2
Work on cross training adaptabilty, and see if we can't increase the workload people have, perhaps we can reduce the amount of workload they need by developing a "priority system", that is, those functions which are not necessary or of lesser import are given lower priorty and less manpower to those functions which are of higher import, and vital to survival, etc.

the mastermind was in purpose for tactics and strategy as well as manipulation if given time. While he isn't good as a say a mad Scientists at engineering freakish creations quickly with time that one could easily arrange for something that can 'compare'. The mastermind however is very VERY different from what your used to. Their abilities are not here for the now...but rather the later. Unless seemingly of course you fell for one of their plots and suddenly your deeep shit. Because the mastermind totally had that planned out already bitch.

Need those munitions to arrive later at excellent timing rather then NOW and OH GOD IT NEVER RUNS OUT?

They are all about the planning, trickery, and stealthy maneuvers.

>>34263519
Purchase is all good and all but it will require a little something extra due to it being a special order and they would have to go out of their way to do so.

Your looking at an extra charge of 20 credits with the average default special rush.

Resting time has done wonders for morale. People seem to especially appreciate the day off. Especially now with so much to do and so little hands to do it all.

You still tricked us into choosing something we very clearly intended otherwise.

But if you say the mastermind shines better at a later date, then perhaps we can offer him resources and invest shit into him, hoping he'll have something good cooked up RIGHT when we need it.

We CAN do that right?

We're getting more people very soon, so we better have a means to feed them. Ramp up our hydroponics facilities ASAP, thank god we have a steady supply of water from the volcano planet.

>>34264449
>Basically give him objective
Well tell him his objective is solidification and consolidation of our holdings. This means people, defenses, and operationality.

We have been very very lucky since day one of having not been purposefully engaged and attacked by a hostile enemy force, but that luck won't last forever, and when the enemy does come we want a stable and secure infrastructure and holding on this system, and be able to defend ourselves and throw back whatever we can at the enemy.

Having this security and infrastructure will allow us to help him pursue anything HE wants, as surely he has goals of his own.

Thanks to the water which apparently was the only thing holding us back the construction and raising of the hydroponics facilities goes astoundingly well. We even managed to stock the facilities as well. They are now functional and should produce excess food supplies jut like our own mothership. Water is however strictly recycled and controlled.

Rolled 3 (1d100)

>>34265399
The volanic moon nearby has fresh water, the ice moon has toxic air so I'd suspect the water may be similar.

There's still more water to be got from the volcanic moon, as well as gas fuel for the factory we need to power.

Question Genie, can pre-formal military training at a high school level be accomplished were we to build schools?

In such a harsh and unforgiving world, would it be so unwise to start our populations military training at an early age? Teach them not only how to read and right, but how to field strip and hold a rifle? Marching to keep everyone fit and such.

Perhaps by putting the Commander and Arms Master Muwe in charge of developing these types of lessons.

>>34268531
Up side we got a long term hero. I will do what I can to help make up for it city building wise.

>>34268602
It's still terrible beyond that, heroes will completely ignore questions and concerns when asked and give nothing but silence, and only proceed to shit on us when we make the mistakes that we specifically asked them about.

Mal shouldn't be telling us "worst yet you guys forgot to buy population" after the caravan leaves or "you can't just build more bots" after 3 threads of planning to supplement our pop with bots and again the caravan providing population leaves; he should be telling us that BEFORE we make a deal "you should really consider purchasing population from this caravan, your plans to just use robots won't work"

Our heroes need to stop being so goddamn silent when important things need doing, and not just be vocal when shit hits the fan or when they have complains.

>>34268833
That's just Genie being very poor when it come noticing dialogue and understanding what we're asking sometimes. As for the rest, well, it would be nice if our heroes did pipe up with some suggestions now and then but I gather most of our heroes aren't the shit slapping type.

That would help a lot. I thought we arms master from the cultist could help.

The cultists meanwhile...they turn out to have an arms master among them. One who while...rather modified has a knack for the usage of all kinds of weaponry. That one examined the weapons and merely stated said weapons who of human origin but often contained elements of alien or the rarer occasion of superior influences.

After we get the cargo haulers we can probably disassemble and reverse engineer them so that we can create our own. In that regard we should probably stick to a policy of buying mid-grade stuff so that we can reverse engineer it without tooooo much trouble and then manufacture it ourselves.

Isn't Mal an expert on robotics?

Actually, Genie implies we don't even have to give the mastermind any funds at all, just give him an objective.

Right now, we are asking him to prepare something in the ever increasing likelyhood we will come under attack.

>>34285039

Yeah, that's covered under "we don't die". And I know Genie implies that, but he'll have a much easier time if we give him money. 50-100 credits ought to ensure our safety.

One possibility I've thought of pulling if we come under attack, is telling Sorry Suns. They'll definitely not want their black and redacted shit getting in the hands of anyone else, so they'll undoubtedly come in and (inadvertently) rescue us in the case of attack. Sure, they may take their shit as payment afterwards, but we'll still be alive.

I'll tell you the current CEO of Umbra right now is Chief CEO Alger Larch a man from a military family who did his time before leaving and going to college. Problem is wars ended up wracking humanity so he reenlisted before coming out and starting his own company. From there he worked his way up before getting bought out and quite to many's surprised arose to become CEO of Umbra during the Arcen War.

Is the current 'chief' CEO of Umbra. Umbra right now is weird as shit in that they have 'multiple' CEOs each in charge of something under Umbra Umbrella Unity. The CEO of Umbra is itself regularly chosen from among that number.

How is the Umbra CEO elected?

1/5 of vote comes from the owners
1/5 of vote comes from the workers
1/5 of the vote comes from the CEO Council
1/5 of the vote comes from the board.
1/5 of the vote is selected based on the seemingly 'best' fitting choice by certain systems. More then one has unexpectedly arisen do this so called 'prediction' and serves as a powerful indicator.


Umbra is is due to for a election for the Chief CEO and word is the current guy is in trouble for some reason thus unlikely to be re chosen. Even the other megacorps have caught wind of the inner turmoil of Umbra and are....concerned. The current CEO made great ground for Umbra in regards to military offensives and government contracts. So the fact that he is unlikely to be chosen once more has them deeply worried especially since Umbra has been oddly silent in the dark shadows plotting/listening, blades behind their back while smiling, and less their usual thieving shit selves.

Long ago Mueke was once nothing but tropical jungle and marsh admist beaches of white and oceans of blue, and dotted with islands.

Mr. Light came and saw the place and. He quickly bought up all the cheap land deemed worthless due to a lack of any natural resources and marshes, and proceeded to drain it.

In time, it became one of the "manmade wonders" of the galaxy, a vast tourist Megacity and urban sprawl and yet despite that, the scenic beaches the wildlife and trees were preserved even with so much construction. Some of the best civil designers, engineers, and geologists were hired to make a seemingly perfect integration of natural beauty and human civilization. Imagine Miami, Dubai, Hawaii, and Indonesia all packed into a Megacity built on islands, peninsulas, and bays, on an area the size of Texas and you have Mueke.

And in the middle of this seemingly utopian paradise that people would come across the stars to visit, Mr. Light planned one of Aduro's most famous and longest lasting monuments, The Bright Kingdom, or more fondly known as "Lenny Carlson World". A place built to tickle the imagination and inspire awe, Science Expo's, Rides and Recreation, all recognizable by the Castle of Light that became the logo of the Aduro Public Relations branch.

They called it "The Brightest Place on [REDACTED]"

But with the coming of the fall came an end to the tourist, and the end of the Megacity as it once was. Slowly, and surely, the jungle and wildlife so carefully preserved waged a new war to retake its homeland, crawling, creeping over towers and spires and roads, a veritable Pripyat and Chernobyl without the radiation, abandoned.

But not completely.

The workers were still there, alone, the silence of a big empty city with only the noise and music of rides and entertainment. At first they lavished themselves in food and debauchery until the food ran out and the entertainment grew stale and ash, even for them. Such a big empty place, and the only noise to be heard was the parks music and robots starts to play tricks on the mind.

Madness came, and an old cult of superstition and worship of the gods was no longer content to be idly talked about over cofee tables and in proverbs. The workers heard the words of their gods of energy, and obeyed. Merchandise items now became religious implements, costumes and mascots now worn to represent the minions of their gods. It was not long before the rituals took hold of them, and not long after until the sacrifices began.

They called themselves, the Sa'al. Adorning themselves in merchandise now religious wear, they worship their gods made manifest, beings crafted of energy to govern the parks now taken on a life, mind, and worship of their own and they demand sacrifice.

Zil the Solar Energy god, as a man with the head of a tiger, who burns slaves to cinders, Shoktash the Electrical God, as a great winged bird, who seeps their very life via lightning from her fingertips, Volgarth the Chemical Energy god, who has his sacrifices dipped in acid or sent to labrynths to be toyed and hunted by him.

Where once was laugher, now are tears and anguish, where once was happiness, now horror. And as the slaves from all around come in the droves to be sacrificed here Mr. Light can only look upon his creation and weep.

This is Mueke now, this is the Sa'al, and the gods have no intent to see things change anytime soon.

and now that I posted that, I wish Smartanon would have more to say about Dr. Kahar's history and his many interesting tales. Or maybe even learn more about the life and times of Volk. . .

Funny fact Richard was actually considered a HUGE failure by the Volker Clan. In fact he was considered such a failure many of them honestly thought he couldn't be related to them despite his mother being a Volka.

They were SO convinced of this (despite him being CLEARLY related) entire new technologies were born for the sake of 'bypassing' certain techs....which didn't even exist yet. SO they made created them JUST so they could come up with ways to by pass it. Because someone TOTALLY decided to waste ALL that effort JUST to give their clan someone like him.

Ironically much of the non MAD or Volker Clan thought he is amazing and TRULY one of the greats. When this is brought up to the MAD Scientists or his clan they often laugh so hard they can't breath.

No one knows why exactly but believe it has to do with jealousy.

'Richard' Volker as he was known back then was in fact raised by his grandmother and aunt. His mother was one of the more...cracked members of Clan Volker and his father was an outsider. Didn't exactly help she was one of them who couldn't/wouldn't make babies due to having 'better' things to do.

It is so bad in Clan Volker they have entirety of the saner divisions devoted to making sure their members actually make babies off and on lest they forget or simply not bother and the clan dies out. Even if this means drugging the living daylights out of them and arranging a proper hook up.

Comes with the territory of having too many super geniuses with having something better to do like SCIENCE! Or just being too crazy for it if you wanna make it simple. simply too lazy to just 'make' a kid.

Interestingly enough Richard was so AMAZING at avoiding these 'hook ups' it looked as if he was a miracle worker or simply had god on his side. He was so goddamn good at it his own aunt started to wonder if he somehow figured out 'magic' when it came to avoiding it.

For a family with an affinity to science in a world with less emphasis on bioethics, I'm amazed they didn't resort to artificial gestation and literal growing baby's in vats via collection of sperm/egg samples. Do all your science without the hassle of maternity and what not.

>>34286997
Mad Science tends to have...unfortunate side effects also they don't what that shit getting stolen from them.

Its a struggle to both safe keep their genes AND make some babies before something or another ruins that chance forever.

Once its 'confirmed' they may very well make a 'harvest' or more often use it as an excuse to make their people take a fucking vacation and relax for once.

>>34287092
Seems to be a large emphasis on genes and nature over nurter, has it been scientifically proven that genes are the primary factor to personal merit and development, or is there another reason it'd be bad of your genetic heritage ended up in someone elses hands?

Rolled 68 (1d100)

>>34287232
Its bad because of the level of development that went into 'creating' such levels. The Volker clan is a VERY old clan who have since the very beginning tinkered with such things. Their biotech is infamous back when biotech didn't even really exist yet. Shit some even believe Clan Volker were the first ones who figured out how to create super soldiers.

Volker Genetic tinkering is NOTORIOUS for being hyper advanced. The Volker clan can't help but tinker with that shit all the fucking time but are paranoid about it getting out. As for nuturing...its actually rare to be raised by your parents. If your lucky you get one often enough its others who take care of raising members.

Richard himself was one of these as neither of his parents were deemed fit.

Basically though Volker Clan doesn't want their millennia old work on genes falling into the wrong hands. ESPECIALLY during 'creation'. At best most have only gotten half of what lies within the Volker genome and a true sample is nigh impossible to decipher not to mention seemed to be utterly fucked/wrong/repaired. Other super geniuses simply state that one doesn't use Volker Clan Genes lest one wishes the lineage to be cursed with madness, impurity, instability, depravity, and just...broken.

Half of the so called 'work' at LEAST is in fact believed to be the Volker can actually attempting to repair/patch/ and give therapy to their wrecked genes due to how much it has been fucked with. Half the reason of volkers not wanting their stuff out is simply because they don't want others to realize just how horrendously broken/wrong they are and more importantly to prevent them from being used without the proper 'precautions'.

The fact that their lineage is cursed with madness and genius is actually seen as one of the 'best' effects otherwise...well abominations aren't exactly uncommon and contrary to popular belief they weren't actually made that way or done on purpose...its just well that is how they came out.

>>34287545
So in this case it is objectively true that nature plays a bigger part than nurture in that their genes explicitly control their personality and skills, rather than such things being primarly influenced by experience.

Mostly due to actual genetic tampering and engineering.

Rolled 46 (1d100)

>>34287545
Basically not all those 'abominations' were made on purpose a disturbing number of them were simply born that way despite Volker best efforts of genetic therapy.

The simple reason why their genetech is so advanced is because of how much they broke it in the first place with attempting to 'improve' to 'fix'. Thus they got amazingly advanced gene tech both for improvements and more often then not attempting to fix earlier mistakes and unintended consequences. Problem is well...considering how long they have been at it. Its truly insane just how bad its gotten. Its actually murmured in certain circles that clan Volker left their literal humanity behind a long time ago due to it all. That the good ones only 'look' somewhat human. The best of Clan Volker is said to be still able to relate to humanity to some degree and why they still 'interbreed' with humanity is to help keep them 'grounded' somewhat.

The fact that with the thin line between genius and insanity is what is believed their most notorious for...is actually one of their happiest accidents and most fortunate of side effects from having Volker Genes. Often enough Volker Genes harbor fantastically worst.

Hence why despite the risk many attempt to 'acquire' volker genes for usage DESPITE the so called risk of 'insanity'. Foolishly believing that is the worst and 'only' consequence.

Take that as you will.

>>34287620
When tampering fails that is when they fall back upon in other technology to make up for the failings as well as 'nurturing'.

Your average Volker Clanner are fucking freaks and often mistaken to be mutants or aliens.

Their tech though is VERY good and AMAZINGLY cross compatible. Most think this is because Volker Clan designs tech that can be used across species, alien, or mutant barrier.

This isn't actually true.

The REAL reason for it is so that their clan can actually USE it. The other stuff was just an unintended consequence.

>>34287790
. . .does this mean if we were to attempt to break some of our captured alien or special tech and reverse engineer it, possibly improve upon it, we could see positive results? Uninented consequences aside.

Also the post apoc just loves to tote on "leaving humanity" without actually defining what humanity is in solid terms. . .people have been asking "what does it mean to be human" since the dawn of time, and now they think they know what humanity is or is not and they can't even describe it. . .

>>34287790
So yeah...their genes are literally that fucked up. The dirty secret that their reason for interbreeding with humans still ISN'T in order to uplift them but rather to help their bloodline by adding clear clean refreshing coconut water into the sickening sewer super sludge that is their bloodline.

Basically humans are used to help thin it out and preferably to add a little something extra that is actually 'stable' compared to what their used to which REALLY doesn't take much. Such instances are controlled except for a few...unfortunate cases.

Hence why despite all the tampering their steady and constant infusions of human into themselves has kept them grounded no matter how far gone they appear to be. This info isn't well known user. As I have merely uploaded harvested files from my time working with Clan Volker one of the reasons I picked up genetic tampering was due to this.

Clan Volker is just a single Clan...who knows what else may be out there hm? Its a mighty big galaxy after all.

>>34287898
To the post apoc and this setting humanity is keep a 'clean' soul, a 'healthy' mind, and a 'pure' body. Much like what you have today due to the current lack of biotech and cybernetics floating around.

What those three mean exactly is roughly known same with your 'level' of humanity index. Basically the closer you are to earlier humanity the more 'pure' you are. Basically humans from now would be considered the 'purest' with only the hardest of liners demanding that in actuality its pre civilization humanity that is the purest.

Beyond that though there is much disagreement.

>>34288015
>To the post apoc and this setting humanity is keep a 'clean' soul, a 'healthy' mind, and a 'pure' body.
So still entirely subjective and opinionated terms with no clear or definitive dimensions, and one which under the right circumstances anyone can misconstrue or simply say "you're no longer human because I don't like the way your body looks." or "the way you think makes me believe your mind is unpure, and you are less than human."

For an example, racism, and how in Nazi doctrine jews and slavs were regarded as subhuman, as well as Japanese ideology concerning other the Chinese in WW2.

Pretty much.

Doesn't exactly help that their 'ideal' doesn't actually exist anymore hardly.

Basically its an excuse nothing more nothing less. Though sometimes they might have some good point to it but that is actually pretty rare.

This is especially true in regards with the mind or soul which is the hardest ones. usually it was SUPPOSE to include such things like insanity but then some figured it would also include your ideology/beliefs ect.

Soul can even be worst at times.

Body is the most obvious one unless your 'too perfect' then suddenly you too are in deep shit.

so yeah its pretty fucked up and much worst then the hatred we got now or have even seen.

Fuck yeah fantastic post apoc which allows all this shit to get out of hand.

>>34288365
>Doesn't exactly help that their 'ideal' doesn't actually exist anymore hardly.
Hell I bet even in Sci-fi stage, if humanity didn't just evolve and origin on Earth, but also appeared and evolved separately on other planets, it doesn't make things any easier either.

Furthermore how offworld colonists would be affected and changed by prolonged isolation from the homeworlds and the nature of their new planet, both physically and culturally, till they hardly resemble their former ancestors.

>Body is the most obvious one unless your 'too perfect' then suddenly you too are in deep shit.
This one is funny in that I imagine in some places I bet people like you or I would be considered "Too perfect" and thus, abhuman.

We never asked for this.

Rolled 100 (1d100)

>>34288528
Exactly.

Shit is whacked and no one got shit on moi setting when it comes to the hate machine it contains.

the whole 'too perfect' stems from the belief of genetic engineering thus 'ruining/spoiling' it or being in a 'safe' place which makes you spoiled thus making your mind/soul sick.

Hence the problem of even being too perfect. Its sad though as even IF someone should say ACTUALLY encounter a 'pure' human they'll most likely think them less then human because they are 'too perfect' just as you said anon.

I will admit to being brutally honest to myself when it comes to my setting. Its gritty, dark, and truthful which when it mixes with the fantastic sci fi makes an unbelievable concoction. Stuck on my book can't come up with a good personality for my character hence me being stuck...embarrassing as its never happened to me before like that.

I ask myself the hard questions and am brutally honest to myself. Thus...this setting its not easy to get into but if you do...welcome to an entire world a place much like our own yet very different.

Nobody is sure how the fall came about or even what it was made up of exactly, but they are sure of what came after it. This is the post apocalypse, a world where your greatest dreams haunt you and your wildest nightmares come true. Here once the fantastic was real, the future was now, and death along with greatness was optional. A world of lost humanity and diverse mutants, of 'free' Artificial Intelligences and monstrous beings, a few good guys and bad guys with everything in between. With science, greed and more taken to new and perverse heights all of it was for the sheer fuck of it. Here the dead walk, the living fight, and the gods laugh.

Humanity appearing and having evolved on multiple planets is a whole wormcan of questions.

It seems almost impossible that a specific species, or even specie(s) of such similarity, could evolve independently and arrive at "humanity" at almost exactly the same evolutionary time-frame so as to be recognizable as humans, even having evolved on different planets. It would heavily indicate either divergent evolution from some sort of evolutionary source seeded across different planets in addition to convergent evolution by someone, or something, manipulating the course of those species to evolve into humanity in such close chronological proximity.

That, or throw out evolution altogether and maybe someone or something manufactured humans and put them on different planets, which in all likelyhood would be more probable if a spacefaring human race suddenly encountered another human civilization on another star system. The meeting between the first two human civilizations that grew up on two different worlds must've been amazing.

The middle school hit and luck would have it they had ... (Not sure if the sponsor would be more leadership class or wood shop) ... None the less a class where some of his skills could shine. There he made a few friends with like minded interest.

Oh, and have some music. It always gets my brains flowing.

I think it does Mazar and Mizar as well.

You know, I'm not sure which of our many mad scientists we've had in the past, but there was a time when the madness and ridiculousness got to me that I had wished sometimes there would be a cool, calm, and calculating side. But thinking on that,

. . .what if Mazar and Mizar were dual personalities of the same person?

One is the madness unrestrained, Mizar, concerned with the short term and immediate goals (our actions), the other is the madness surpressed, Mazar who becomes cool, calm, calculating and long term plots and webs (taking very little interest in immediate actions).

This would explain why sometimes even when we ask Mazar questions, he's silent, and it's hard to tell what he is planning because he's not the 'mad' side (us).

The reason nobody else guesses this also ties into the fact, that in the beginning we had issues guess ing what our gender is. The reason?

Mizar see's "herself" as a woman, and Mazar as a man, thus, as the two inexplicably are never seen together and only ever seem to communicate via transmissions (preprogrammed recordings planned out by Mizar), no one, not even us bar perhaps Mazar is awares to the fact

We are two sides of the same coin.

As for backstory...the peculiar expertise? Was the ability to somewhat understand Super Genius bullshit and the usage of superior/alien technology. The side effect of having a 'twisted' brain.

While not full blown MAD or SUPAHH genius you can actually on some level communicate with them and 'kinda' understand what their going on about where everyone else was like OH SHIT YOU DON'T MAKE NO FUCKING SENSE HOW THE HELL IS A SCREW DRIVER A BAGLWIFFLE AND QUARNIX MIXED WITH RAD N GO CREATES A QUANTUM CUBICLE ON WHATEVER THE FUCK IT IS?

Unsurprisingly this is stupidly valuable ability considering the bullshit those bastards can pull and converse. Unfortunately that same 'gift' got you in a world of trouble hence why you had to leave the Mad/super geniuses and their delicious superior possibly MAD tech behind.

Think of it as a good thing people are getting better at the game. Then one day you can go all out again.

>>34290339
... Yeah I wasn't thinking about the bandits for some reason.

So what do I have to do to prove I'm can be some what a Bio person? If it's any help I took anatomy and physiology.

>>34290381
Yeah, Silver Tongue was a nice Title but I think I lost the hang of it ever since Bloodsnow. You could call me Memor anon too I suppose, I named and fluffed them.

Rolled 47 (1d100)

So while Genie digests this latest development, let's see about actions.

>>34273789
How about the Gas to Fuel conversion? We should be able to start researching that, it'll be like researching biofuel back in Memor, we invest in it and see that it happens we'll get low quality first, but soon with some help from Caravans we'll be producing high grade stuff soon enough.

Action 1
Research into Gas to Fuel conversion, and see what can be learned or done about it.

Action 2
I just realized we have Spec Ops gear. If we can't into exotic gear, then maybe the Commander and Arms master can into Spec Ops gear and how to use them. Let's find out.

Also have we setup the SS REDACTED Research Facility Deluxe Package anywhere? In the mothership perhaps?

>>34290381
Maybe street smarts anon for their sliver ways and use of brains.

>>34290452
It's large and take and take a lot of power.

The redacted research facility package..will take up a TON of room when unpackaged. So right now we can't use it while we CAN fit it in the mothership it would take up a LOT of room even by mothership standards that shit ain't cheap, but unlike any other ships at least we can actually fit it without gutting the ship in question in the process.

O yeah for next time should i just post the notes like I been doing (http://pastebin.com/i8VekKjs) or would people like them more organized? Wanted to know for when I make a updated set.

>>34290516
Can you copy and organize some of the stuff found in (who I presume to be original smartanon's) notes into yours?

Hrmm, guess we'll have to find a more secure location to do research from. I would like it on another moon than our colony in case things go wrong, but the only two nearby our planet are the dead one and the volcanic one.

If it were possible to dig and put the research facility underground on the dead one to hide its location and visibility, while conducting research from there, maybe we could do that.

>>34290585
... hm I do like the sound of it. But we would need to put a good amount of time into finding the right crew to work there. Plus it gives us a way to have fall back plans to take the lab out if things go wrong.

>>34290558
>>34290628
I will laugh if we end up having full stats for everyone.

>>34290585
The factory needs to go our verdant desert moon or our mothership. We already have too few men to operate what we have, we need to utilize the men we have on the moon for something.
We should see if the mastermind can disguise the black factory as a regular factory, or a water filtering facility, some shit. Maybe we can put the whole damned factory literally underground, out of sight out of mind.

>>34290704
I do believe we already have the factory set up on our desert moon [needs a name], the issue is powering it and finding out what it makes. . .

>>34290719
kanto is my vote for the moons name. We also need one for the town and mother ship.

>>34290719
It should make anything, but specializes in refining exotic materials. As far as power, we have a gas station, that apparently works as ship fuel. I'm sure rocketship gas, applied in large quantities, will be perfectly good to fuel anything we need.

Still don't know what we got for eating that moon though...

Genie specifically stated that:

"You lack hi quality refineries and the facilities to process the fuel into energy for the factory."

We need to improve our refining operations, the Factory needs more pure fuel than perhaps the crude stuff our ships can easily churn through.

>>34290873
Rather than work that angle, what if we set Mizar, Mazar, And Mal to come up with a way to convert our rocket fuel into factory fuel.

>>34290873
>>34290930
We also have the solar panels. We probably could find a broken ship to take a engine from and power things up as well.

>spaceship graveyard in a cloud of gases/dust with some sort of gravity anomaly.

Scans indicate two Combine vessels with 2 unknown alien ships. Only one combine vessel might be possible to salvage while the others are shattered

It's in our system.

>>34290930
Isn't that the same thing in essence?

>>34290973
Yeah, but I want to avoid that place until we have a stable base and infrastructure in case we need to defend ourselves. . .could be pirates there. Other pirates.

Wait, WE have pirates too. Hrm, I dunno would it be safe to explore that right now?

>>34290998
We checked the system out twice and stole a high tech cache. We should be fine to check it out. I more worried about the people who owned the cache.

>>34291039
No, we stole the cache from the Volcanic planet which we scanned twice, the one where we got water from.

I don't know if we've ever scanned the graveyard yet.

>>34291074
We explore the system we live in twice before we made the base.

>It's why we got this chuck of info.

the gravity anomaly seems to be focused on the surviving alien ship.

The twelve moons are all varying levels of toxic or barren. The resources also vary by quite a bit but there are noteworthy concentrations with stuff like exotics even.

the vast ice world is almost stupidly rich in resources with plentiful concentration of industrial metals, major riches, some radioactives, and plentiful exotic materials. [Mining Station]

The three moons around tainted cool world are all varying levels of rich. The cool world itself has plenty of radioactive and exotic materials with a sustainable amount of riches.

The other two moons besides the verdant desert world are pretty empty except for some trapped water on the volcanic world and some resources/cache of superior technology on the barren moon.

the gas giant reason for having so little 'gravity' is due to the interaction of it with the local sun and moons/worlds. It has formed a devastating gravity rip tide that can trap or even tear ships apart. a VERY nasty hazard for jumps and a real pain to navigate.

>>34290975
It is, I'm jumping the gun.

>>34290973
>>34290273
Forgot about those, can we currently produce more using the designs of the ones we purchased?
Do we have enough to power the black factory?

Also DID WE GAIN ANYTHING From eating that moon, or was it lost to the void and should i just shut up about it?

That mashing maw eating a moon thing is killing me inside. My inner bookkeeper needs to know where that shit went. We spent a whole turn on that, I can't just write it off as an expense what if we get audited?

>>34291123
From your notes:
http://pastebin.com/TCFy4R2L
>NEW system - Home
>Two other moons one barren another burning with trapped water and some sort of strange cache.
These are our neighbore moons burning (volcanic) one was the one with the strange cache

>>34261124
>We noticed a "strange cache" in the volcanic moon nearby, so before we jump before we leap, let's make sure we don't activate something nasty and set about exploring, or at least scanning the planet.
>>34261297
>The 'strange' cache as it turns out is holding a cache of superior technology that we were able to pilfer. Hopefully the creators and or owners wont go looking too hard for it.

I don't deny that we did indeed scan the system, but the cache we took was from the volcanic planet.

I would be down and willing to scan the Graveyard though.

Rolled 84 (1d100)

>>34290452
In light of this, I vote that Action 1 be changed to "scanning the Ship Graveyard." in preparation for exploration.

>>34291138
Yeah they self clean so that will help a lot.
No way we only set up basic ones for one turn.

I want to know as well.

Eh.

>Side thought
Lets hope the new people are nice.

lets not forget bandits probably want to try raiding again soon. (Lucky is the best ship.)

>>34291209
Okay I'm a bit confused then. Why are we fighting that fact? I was just noting that we check the system twice. We should have seen some pirates. Granted the graveyard could hide things.

Then you said "No, we stole the cache from the Volcanic planet which we scanned twice, the one where we got water from."

Then I was saying yeah we did explore the system twice.

>>34291354
I'm down but can't we ask them if they train us in the gear? I hope we did look at it. Every time training pick it was worded for training with the new gear which would included that. (We got them both at the same time.)

>>34291375
Well, yeah, but I thought you meant we took the cache from the graveyard but that wasn't what you meant.

Also a scan of a system is probably something very superficial and brief descriptions, kinda like scouting, better to check a planet/field with an additional scan before we start probing into it, as even now there are things we are still finding from further exploration on these moons and planets despite system scans.

>>34291583
We have 3 actions, we can and should scout twice and scan this turn if we want to go that route.

>>34291583
Yeah sorry about that. I think my grammar and spelling is going to hell as the day ends for me. I was meaning that the pirates would be less of a problem then owners if the tech we stole.

... I can see that. I guess I'm use to exploring covering it all. But with space we got scanning and moving thru the area exploring.

Rolled 40 (1d100)

>>34291619
Actually if we have 3 actions, I want to do the refinery research but go ahead, make it a double.

>>34291619
I say train with the weapons takes a higher priority. We need to fight with the best weapons we got. MAL is probably making the most of his action. I believe MAL had been helping the infrastructure and resource movement. So one turn of scouting then going from there should be fine. Then next turn we can do more. Hopefully with more people (come on trade ship).

>>34291695

We should double it, syncro it, tireless it, and throw in the applicable mastermind ability.

Rolled 59 (1d100)

>>34291742
I'll back this instead.

So that makes

Action 1+2
we have Spec Ops gear. If we can't into exotic gear, then maybe the Commander and Arms master can into Spec Ops gear and how to use them. Let's find out.

Action 3
Scan the Graveyard thoroughly in preparation for exploration action, or to see if there are reasons we shouldn't go near there.

Scans indicate besides the hampering and debris it appears rather empty thus should be fine.

"Yeah, well I'm miffed you didn't tell us this earlier when we wanted to train you to use the exotic stuff.

You have a mouth, use it now and then, we had this gear all along and all it took was 'we don't know how to use this exotic gear, we can use the Spec Ops stuff. Would've saved us a lot of time and effort."

How much of the Spec Ops gear do we have to go around Genie?
