Hello, Foreman! You are planning CATS' operations for the month.

You can deploy yourself on TWO actions for a small bonus to all rolls
Dr Robertson is busy assisting GCASA.
Ryan Andrews is busy setting up an occult store chain.
Dr Diamond can be deployed on ONE action for a small bonus to all rolls, including covert. She can greatly reduce casualty rates
Moira McSingh can be deployed on ONE action for a medium bonus to covert rolls or a small bonus to all rolls; She can give basic combat capability to a work crew
Aki Lattinen is available for TWO actions for a medium bonus to all non-covert rolls or a small bonus to covert rolls.
Drones give a STACKABLE small bonus to construction and covert rolls; they may be lost in combat

BOCHICA is managing your logistics.

What are your orders?

>>3807876
Build a satellite and a factory do one unit of research and we should be set. Anyone left over gets to sell nommeclators.

>>3807876
Shouldn't theology be 5/5?

>>3807911

Build Satellite
Build Factory (Is this part of the Od Gustav deal?)
Remaining Work Teams sell Nomenclatures

Aki - Meditate & Research Directed Energy

Dr. Diamond - Can we assign her to work with Mclachlan and Carla on the microorganism?

1 Covert Team survey Near East (Iraq & Iran)

Moira and remainder Covert Teams & Black OPs on standby for Covert Shenanigans.

>>3807915

(Derp. Yes. My bad.)

>>3807944

(Yes, I added an action for that since I think it'll come up from time to time - Aid Another Agency)

>>3807944
We nee to build at least 1 CS Pylon in Europe, or we need to build two, one in each territory.

I don't recall having to build two, but I doubt we'd be that fortunate?

Also, are we not going to build a satellite?

Perhaps we can use the other satellite we have over Europe to be a pusher and use the camera for a closer look?

>>3807944
Also guys, we need to either hit the button now or next month for takeover!

MCP is likely to finish next month, the sooner we do it the better!

Better to do it before it is finished!

>>3807951
We have a SAT over Europe that has 1 com, 1 lens, 3 boosters, correct? Can we use that to push fragment 4?

>>3807944
>>3803487
>* Od Gustav will allow you to set up a factory system if you also construct additional pylons, to (3) capacity, in the territory where the factory will go. So, one pylon in either Western or Eastern Europe
Yeah we only need to build one.

>>3807951
Did we only buy 1 fleet asset last turn?

>>3807955

(I have it marked as 2 com, 1 lens 1 booster. Did I get it wrong?)

You can; the orbital insertion is going to be a little tricky, but feasible. You will lose the satellite, obviously - it'll either reenter, or stay stuck to F4 and tumble away with it.

>>3807952
>>3807958

(I wrote one in the last thread, it looks like, so let's call it one. My mistake at the time)

>>3807944

Od Gustav wants the territory to 3 if he is to allow installing an automated factory management system there.

>>3807959

(Yes as far as I cantell. BOCHICA is currently using the Garibaldi as a fuel depot and resupply point, since it knows where she is.)

>>3807965
Wait so do we need to make both territories in EU to (3)? Because if we only need to make one and we build two, its gonna raise expectations. But if we build 1 for 1, as in 1 factory for one pylon we could potentially in the future only need to build 1 more pylon for another factory in the other part of EU.

So lets not spoil Gus with more than he asked for.

>(I have it marked as 2 com, 1 lens 1 booster. Did I get it wrong?)
Wasn't it a 5 part satellite? I thought we made it to prevent rocks falling and everyone dying, but never used it for when fragment 2 hit?

>>3807876
Okay let's optimise:

1) Assign 4 factories to Nomenklators along with a single work team to sell them.

3) Construct an additional solar-cellular pylon in western Europe.

4) Assign 3 work teams to construct a factory in Western Europe with Aki support as well as 2 units of drones.

5) Assign 3 covert teams to recruit a work team to get us back to 20/20 teams.

6) Assign the remaining covert and black-ops team to situational mission performance with Moira and 2 units of drones as backup.

7) Assign 5 work teams and Aki Lattinen to perform the capstone research of the Cellular Solar tree.

8) Assign 2 work teams to do a C2 research action into directed energy.

9) Assign 3 work teams to do research into defence.


This is a turn without any risks ignoring the potential for the factory to fail. However given the two units of drones (small bonus X 2) and Aki (medium bonus X 1), it seems statistically safe to do this to me.

However I can't find a good place to put Foreman and Dr Diamond's actions unless anyone has some bright ideas, I'd probably just ask OP to throw us onto supporting the factory with one action while the other is spent helping with the recruitment and the action of Dr Diamond gets spent helping with the defence research.

>>3807981
It was a 5 part sat aye.

>>3807876
>>3807876
1 Factory make 1 power
3 Factories make network equipment
Ryan Supervises the Factories

Sell 6 Network parts +12BN

Buy 5 Aerospace parts -10BN
Buy 1 fleet assets -2BN (didn't we get 2 last turn?)

Build 1 CS Pylon in Western Europe

Build 1 Factory in Western Europe
3 work crews + Foreman + drones

Research CellSoll
5 work crews + Aki

Build Satelite
3 work crews + Ryan

Recruit Work Crew
3 work crews + 1 Covert team + Foreman

Should have 6 BN at this point

Covert teams and Black opts go to work with Moira + drones.
Provoke the witnesses?

>>3807982
>>3807981

(I have it tagged as 1 hydrazine, it says h1 on the map. Maybe it was 3 comm 1 camera 1 tank?

>>3773439 Looks like it was 4 parts )

>>3807982

You can send Dr. Diamond to GCASA, or have her work on augmenting an Agent or a squad. (This does also take up the time of the agent or the squad, does include yourself in which case you will only be available for one action and no covert work since you'll be recuperating, and Dr. Diamond is perfectly happy with having her staff install a heart implant on herself, if it comes to that!)

>>3807982
Have foreman recruiting agents or surveying.

Seriously we need more agents.

>>3808004
>You can send Dr. Diamond to GCASA
...That didn't occur to me. Nor did the idea that we could send her to the UNDRR and her vast medical experience could probably help them create first aid instructions and shit.

>you will only be available for one action and no covert work since you'll be recuperating
Eh, it doesn't provide a big enough benefit yet.

>>3808004
When did we build it? thread 9?

>>3808007
We could assign two actions to surveying, the method by which about 2/3rds of our agents have been found, but I'm also curious if we couldn't just reestablish contact with that South East Asian Socialist-Unionist since we could use his help and we can promise to not make him work with / under Ryan Andrews.

>>3808019
We only have one action apparently, and I'd rather we hire that profession surveyor from Canada...
Haley Kipper?

Also what is Ramen doing now?

Also sending Dr Diamond to help either Carla or that space guy i forget his name, is a good idea.

Aki can go with Dr. Diamond or go visit Carla

>>3808024
>We only have one action apparently
No, we don't. I'm assuming your talking about what he said >>3808004 which is only true if we get ourselves augmented and only for that turn / while we recover.

>I'd rather we hire that profession surveyor from Canada
Hey if OP's willing to let us find someone we've previously met / gotten the contact info for without spending an entire work team, I'd be fine with dedicating a personal action to meeting them assuming that is all we'd need. Although I'd argue it shouldn't even cost that.

>Aki can go with Dr. Diamond or go visit Carla
No go. I want Aki for a capstone of research and to ensure that the chances of that factory failing is low / non-existent.

>>3808011
(Looks like it, you had 4 parts available at the time)

>>3808010

The Mk2 implant is a somewhat modified version of the Jarvik2000 ventricular assist device. It integrates a pacemaker and a spinal stimulation system.

It will prevent death upon a heart attack (and allow the user to continue doing things during the attack, albeit he'd have diminished stamina), prevent unwanted unconsciousness, or if necessary, CAUSE a heart stoppage and fainting to prevent bleedout in case of severe arterial wounds (the user would then have to be dragged away to safety, but he'd have significantly longer before brain damage sets in during medevac, due to the implant moving the blood back and forth a minimum to avoid clotting and delay hypoxia).

>>3808024

Raman Vajpayee is your security chief. He is keeping an eye on the Morale Monitor mole you caught and, remotely, on your blacksite.

>>3808024
>>3808019

Mr. Kipper and Mr. Domai can be contacted by an agent or a workgroup. Since your association with Mr. Ryan has loosened recently, you should be able to try again with him.

>>3807999

Mr. Ryan has been assigned.

>>3808029

Correct, you have 2 actions normally, and 1 action if you decide to go under Dr. Diamond's knife (The reason being that you're the boss, so other people can accomodate your schedule by changing theirs). However, you will not be able to go on combat training or covert operations, since that would make no sense if you're in recovery.

>>3808033
>Mr. Kipper and Mr. Domai
Dr Diamond to the first, us to the second and our final personal action is to back up Aki in ensuring that the Western Europe factory finishes properly. Assuming anons vote for >>3807982, of course.

>>3808029
Right, put ryan on twice.

Just remove him from supervising the factories producing stuff.

Could have sworn we did 5 parts.

Have Dr. Diamon assist GCASA and UNDRR with their XenoBio program.

We can work on healing the damage from Fragment 3, maybe unlock something in the event of Fragment 4 lands.

Foreman can focus on surveying to find agents. Red Anon wants Haley, and I'm still quite keen on the hacker, Rose.

>>3808037
>Right, put ryan on twice.
>Just remove him from supervising the factories producing stuff.
Ryan features nowhere on the plan I proposed for the turn.

>>3808039
>Foreman can focus on surveying to find agents. Red Anon wants Haley, and I'm still quite keen on the hacker, Rose.
Honestly it'd be nice if we could just put out a generic: "Specialists wanted; top of their field, preferable; interesting opportunities, good pay, global positions..." sort of add and get these people to submit to review rather than having to seek them out.

>>3808039
What about doing the takeover? MCP is almost done, and we have JUST enough money to do it right now this turn.

>>3808039
I'm down for getting the hacker too.

Was the morale monitor the same guy who said my god is real and yours is not to Raman?

>>3808044
>Ryan features nowhere on the plan I proposed for the turn.
I made my own little plan.

>Honestly it'd be nice if we could just put out a generic: "Specialists wanted; top of their field, preferable; interesting opportunities, good pay, global positions..." sort of add and get these people to submit to review rather than having to seek them out.
Or requiring to send out like a dozen people and pay a bag of nicks to find one with a team. But that's just the game mechanics. I suppose there could be a way to "upgrade" the mechanics with time and money so it doesn't need to, but we've yet to figure out how.

>>3808044
>>3808039
Also, are we not going to launch a satellite for fragment 4?

It might be guided by an "invisible hand" to make landfall, or explode in atmosphere and shower the planet with worms.

It would be much better to completely throw off that entire prophecy. Then we can really rub it into Tsions face.

>>3808044
I thought Ryan was busy trying to run his Hot Topic enterprise.

>>3808052
We have the money but we also have to survive enough to make Carpatescu capitulate.

If we can throw together a solid plan based on current assets, then sure.

Otherwise lets get our pieces in place to secure the best advantage.

>>3808066

I thought that was the idea with the Satellite.

Yes. Divert Fragment 4 by all means possible.

Also are we messing with the witnesses anything soon?

>>3808071
Okay so no take over yet, and probably not messing with the witnesses until we finish africa.

We should get the south africa farmers to help us asap.

>>3808052

No, different guy.

You do have some Remnant employees; their performance is generally in the 2nd quintile. You can count on them to show up on time, do their job well, and go home, but none have excelled.

You do occasionally find Chick Tracts in your bathrooms; Vajpayee wanted to ban that, but some of your Atheist employees have asked that they be allowed, since they're funny. Some have picked up MST3K style annotations.

>>3808056

Your organization has little attrition -- morale is high -- but every month there's a dozen or so people leaving and just as many coming in; that's handled for you by your HR department.

You do have to seek out exceptional individuals. Hiring a new team means expanding the organization and is therefore a more significant undertaking; hiring mercenaries requires a fair amount of vetting to ensure that the new arrivals will play ball with the existing people when it comes to rules of engagement, discipline, common skillset and so on.

>>3808071

That is the case (The skeleton post even says so).

>>3808079

They're still at the Wailing Wall. By now, the IDF has cordoned off the area, set up a small medical post just outside the perimeter, and cautioned people that they approach that segment of the Wall at their own risk. Closing any part of the Wailing Wall would be a political nightmare.

The people on Tsion's website still think that the redheaded woman converted on the spot. The people in your custody, who have seen her during the raid, think she might be the Whore of Babylon. Moira heard about it, eventually, and commented that she's comfortable with her current career, so not even Nicolae Carpataescu could afford her hourly rate for that.

>>3808079

>>Witnesses

We could work something out, but right narrow our focus into two goals:

-Take control of economy
-Deflect Fragment 4.

Hypothetically, if we weaken the Narrative, we might nerf Eli and Moishe.

We have until after Midpoint of Tribulation, wherein the Anti Christ will slay them.

>>3807876
>>3807999

>>3808096
>>3803765
>* You can expand the Synco system into Northern Africa, if you wish.

Thought I linked this.

Robertson and Ryan are unavailable this turn.

Robertson is working for the Space Agency and Ryan is doing business for our Occult Project.

Otherwise, seems good.

>>3808096
Dont aerospace parts cost 3 not 2?

>>3808109

Aerospace parts cost 3BN if bought, and 2BN if built. The catch is that if you build them you tie up 2 work teams.

>>3808098

Yes, yes you can. It's not as if Mr. Litwala is going to object; if anything, after a month or so it'd make him look good.

>>3808106
I DERP'D again.

It should be fine without an agent overlooking factory right? They have drones and security. Remove "Ryan" and "Robertson" from the list, Put Foreman on the satellite launch. Factory proceeds without an agent.

>>3808109
Yup. 1 sec.

Anyone like this? Yes? No? Start over with some changes?

Looks good.

Just add Dr. Diamond doing work for UNDRR and GCASA.

>>3808146
>>3808126
Yes, QM please also send Dr Diamond help either or both agencies.

>>3808128
Well first off I question if we'll need a 5 part sat to redirect the meteor given it's already destined to just bounce off the earth's atmosphere. I'd prefer to do a 4 part, 1 comms, 1 camera (to see if we can't get some better data on it, assuming our existing orbital assets can't do that when it comes close to earth / passes through and over the atmosphere) and 2 fuel, since we're already probably in the clear.

Second, the team in North Africa don't need the black ops since the region is friendly controlled and theoretically secure from attack. Plus the Black-ops are to be kept separate from our other teams as much as possible.

Third, why assign Foreman to a fully staffed sat launch when you have two undermanned factory constructions? Assuming OP is using a simple system whereby a undermanned thing has it's odds of success put at ((number of teams divided by number of required teams) + bonuses) then these might have a decent chance of failure which risks 4 Bn in investment, 4 teams of labour, a turn's production from the factory and only saves a single team.

You could shift from Cell sol research to defence, put those two teams onto the factories and ensure both get built while also advancing on the thing Santiago said would let us get another in South America.

Also regarding the satellite, can we make it out of sturdier stuff? Like more aluminum or titanium?

Maybe put some chemicals on it so it kills the bugs?

An extra cellphone camera to watch the internal componetes?

I'm thinking 1 coms 1 lens, 3 boosters.

>>3808159
Don't want to risk the foreman, and I dunno how safe it is in Africa. If we put him on the African factory job then black opts goes with him.

Covert teams are going to be doing other stuff, and not interacting with the black opts guys..

We can shift around the security teams when we see the jobs and whats available.

If we can build a factory in south America, perhaps we just do that instead of Africa, but it would net us brownie points with Litwala if we built it there.

>>3808114
Geist, can we build a factory in south America?

>>3808179
>Don't want to risk the foreman, and I dunno how safe it is in Africa
The african region we are talking about building in is the one we secured from Rebohoth with Litwala's help.

>If we put him on the African factory job then black opts goes with him.
I'd prefer a regular covert team if we are going to deploy anything.

>Covert teams are going to be doing other stuff, and not interacting with the black opts guys..
Yes but our work teams will. Not to mention the possibility of our African allies disliking them.

>We can shift around the security teams when we see the jobs and whats available.
Agreed.

>If we can build a factory in south America, perhaps we just do that instead of Africa
We can only build another in South america if we improve our system's security which is done by the defence research. We can't do the factory this turn but by doing the defense research rather than cell-sol we can do it sooner / eventually.

>but it would net us brownie points with Litwala if we built it there
Agreed.

>>3808188
Well we were in a secure facility on anther continent next to a subponete that controls both facilities, security forces, and the continent, and we still got shot in the head somehow. Since Africa is Rebohoth's backyard, even if he lost partial control of it. He can most likely send someone or something to try an make another attempt on us.

He might just go for an all out attack, just to take us out, since hes probably paranoid enough to think we are supporting and bankrolling Litwala.

>>3808188
If you want him on the factory job, that's fine, but I insist he takes a security team with him, covert or black opts, either or.

Defense.

Well we are about mid way though defense research.

I figure we can do some recruitment and research next turn.

>>3808185
We already asked the potentate they said no.

>>3808126
I support but i question if we need the sattalite
Do we plan to do the 51% attack next turn? We are running out of time

>>3808202
I would rather get the 10 in celsol and see what maxing it does

>>3808204
We don't have enough money next turn, so its either now or next trimester. I guess we are going next trimester. We still have a mandate to fill.

>>3808206
CellSol R&D has max teams plus Aki on it, i don't think it can get anymore maxed.

>>3808209
I mean research cel sol rather then defense. Well we can sell all our suppllies i guess to afford doing it. We are going to run out of time i feel if we wait for ext trimester.

>>3808211
We aren't doing defense research this turn?

CellSol will be finished after this turn, its at the last research point.

>>3808211
>sell all our suppllies
Hell no, we sold so much of it, and we are not going to be able to stock pile more anytime soon.

It would be better to make parts in the factory and sell them on the market to make cash.

>>3808193
>>3808202
>If you want him on the factory job, that's fine, but I insist he takes a security team with him, covert or black opts, either or.
Fair enough

>I figure we can do some recruitment and research next turn.
Can't do recruitment beyond a single team so it's barely a noticable occupation of teams next turn.

Look, my main point really is that we should research defence over cell sol since that frees up enough teams to totally man the two factory construction projects. Which in turn means we could remove all the drones and hero actions associated with them and instead use them for anything else like surveying territories or something.

How out we just dont do the sattalite as i sont understand why we need to, take the 3 teams full man the factories, then use the cash to do the takevoer with us and our hero actions and a work team why not.
>>3808218

>>3808204

>51%

We have to do it by turn 40 anyway since otherwise the boss will be mad that we missed a mandate.

I vote we do it next turn because we have to meet with Carpaccio anyway.

All your base are belong to us.

But if we do that I want to build at least one nuke, just so we have it for insurance.

>>3808222
>How out we just dont do the sattalite as i sont understand why we need to
Some people are worried that it might break on hitting the atmosphere. OP has made no comment as to the likelihood so I'm humouring the idea and the case of it doing so it highly worrying.

If you can convince others to drop it, I'd be greatful. As it would allow for the reallocation of at least 3 work teams and a saving of as much as 13-18 Bn. Plus we'd have enough teams to do basically everything everyone wants.

>>3808225

Oh God auto correct. Now I can't un see it.

>>3808218

I think we can live without one team for now.

>>3808218
We are so close to finishing CS research, once that's done it would help us with the take over, including time to prepare.

>>3808226
Because we are risking the 4th fagment getting to close to earth infecting it with worms and bugs and stuff, plus there may be divine intervention that causes it to hit earth anyways, so its better to be certain it doesn't even touch our atmosphere.

(atmosphere can cause friction and heat which may warm up the liquid center of the fragment make it explode or something.)

Keep messing up the links.

>>3808236
What time to prepare we may run out of time entierly to do this by the next quarter.

>>3808225
>We have to do it by turn 40 anyway since otherwise the boss will be mad that we missed a mandate.
Yep, we at least have to throw a few work teams at setting up the pylon.

>I vote we do it next turn because we have to meet with Carpaccio anyway.
Agreed. If nothing else we can't realistically delay it much longer but when we do, we're going to disappear to the Blacksite for a month probably while we wait for Carpetscu to calm down. That or we need to risk him just killing us and us auto-losing.

Personally this is why I'd be in favour of doing in in the transition to month 40, since it minimises the time that the MCP has to detect our control and more importantly, we have our next meeting in person with him after he'll have acknowledged our power.

>But if we do that I want to build at least one nuke, just so we have it for insurance.
To be fair, we can just dead-man's switch the economy and threaten that if he doesn't do as we ask, that we've got a virus built into BOCHICA that'd overclock every computer until they melt down, using the computing power to encrypt any memory it can reach and generally just destroy the E-conomy of the world.

Set him back to before we took our first mandate if not even worse off.

>>3808229
>We are so close to finishing CS research, once that's done it would help us with the take over, including time to prepare.
How so? Carpestscu ain't going to shift the deadline just because we made the system better. He has set his demand and expects us to fill it.

>Because we are risking the 4th fagment getting to close to earth infecting it with worms and bugs and stuff, plus there may be divine intervention that causes it to hit earth anyways, so its better to be certain it doesn't even touch our atmosphere.
To be honest I kinda agree.

>(atmosphere can cause friction and heat which may warm up the liquid center of the fragment make it explode or something.)
I mean, I find it doubtful it'd heat up that quickly but if OP would provide us the statistical analysis that we should really get access to as a head-of-a-organisation with as much computing power and connections as we do then we could confirm or deny this.

>>3808230
>I think we can live without one team for now.
Eh, it's just a point I was making that it'll be a minor thing we do next turn so it's not worth considering as a major point of policy.

>>3808243
We cant set up the pylon without doing the 51% attack unless we are just goving up on it.

>>3808243
But doing it next turn when he can just cut off our funding?

Whats to stop him from going 'You're fired", or just not funding us next turn, or reducing our funding?

>>3808254
Yeah exactly. We kind of have to do it this turn if we are doing it at all.

>>3808251
>We cant set up the pylon without doing the 51% attack unless we are just goving up on it.
I know.

>>3808254
>But doing it next turn when he can just cut off our funding?
>Whats to stop him from going 'You're fired", or just not funding us next turn, or reducing our funding?
The current month is 38. We are taking actions for this month leading to turn 39. I am talking about doing it in the period between 39 and 40 AKA next turn. He can't do that then.

>>3808243
Cs pylon research helps our AI, and would likely give us some sort of boon to taking over the economy. Every pylon we build makes our AI stronger.

>>3808251
How about we give up a factory to fully man the projects then?

>>3808243

The main issue is that an asteroid with a pyrite exterior and water-ice interior should not be possible in the first place -- rather, while there is nothing in the laws of physics preventing it from existing, its formation is extremely unlikely; there's nothing preventing Mount Rushmore from coming about by erosion, either, and in fact there are natural rock formations that look like a face (the Old Man of the Mountain, which is currently in danger of collapse, is an example), but you're looking at "winning the lottery twice in the same day" odds, or else at a completely new and unknown process of crystalline accretion in the asteroid or the Kuiper belt.

This makes it hard to do simulations that are worth anything.

Analysts from GCASA and your agency have attempted to do so, and given you the balance of probability that you received a few days ago -- 1% chance of slamming into the moon, most likely outcome atmospheric skip, small chance of decelerating like Fragment 1 did and coming down over the Pacific. You're looking at a 75/25 spread.

>>3808254

A horse, having a wolf as a powerful and dangerous enemy, lived in constant fear of his life. Being driven to desperation, it occurred to him to seek a strong ally. Where upon he approached a man, and offered an alliance pointing out that the wolf was likewise an enemy of the man.

The man accepted the partnership at once and offered to kill the wolf immediately if his new partner would only cooperate by placing his greater speed at the man's disposal. The horse was willing and allowed the man to place bridle and saddle upon him. The man mounted hunted down the wolf and killed him.

The horse joyful and relieved thanked the man and said "Now that our enemy is dead, remove the bridle and saddle and restore my freedom." Whereupon the man laughed loudly and replied "The hell you say. Giddy-up!" and applied the spurs with a will.

>>3808261
But we would lack the funding.

One of the things we need for sucess is 20 BN to win.

There are several conditions that if we fill, we increase our chances of winning the take over.

>>3808262
>Cs pylon research helps our AI, and would likely give us some sort of boon to taking over the economy. Every pylon we build makes our AI stronger.
I know but I'd point out two factories does the same.

>>3808272
>But we would lack the funding.
>One of the things we need for sucess is 20 BN to win.
Okay you want 20Bn next turn? At most after our turn ends I'd expect us to have 6 or 7 Bn left.

Which means to complete the final pylon, given we have no cost from doing so, is not an issue and our only concern is cash. At which point we can sell our 3 power as well as 2 aerospace part for 6 billion for a total of 9Bn without using any teams since two factories can produce one for free and we have four. In fact given we might have six by the end of this turn we could make that 12 Bn and only need a further 1-2 Bn to equal 20 and essentially get the economy.

Which we could get by assigning any number of covert teams to operations for profit, selling small arms, emergency supplies and or other such assets. Not to mention potentially profitable actions by our work teams.

>>3808270
So long as Carpatescu is the horse and we're the man, Matthews is the wolf that would work fine.

>>3808285
Actually in this case we're simultaneously the wolf and the man I think.

>>3808284

Ok fine that works. We can make the income we need to survivie off of 6 factories its true.

>>3808288
I thought jesus was the wolf and the worlds economy was the horse l.

>>3808272

BOCHICA confirms that you are ready to execute a 51% attack on the world's economy.

While Carpatescu's MCP is intended to centralize the automated operation of global finance, your attack would decouple the financial system from the "real economy". This by no means creates any sort of socialist utopia; rather, it would destabilize the global economy to the point that any institution with global credibility would be able to, should it survive a brief period of anarchy, essentially assume a sort of soft control over a world that is once again fragmented. Effectively, you would be causing a hyperinflationary episode, except that it would affect every territory in the world at the same time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noQsHiTJAXo

In order to succeed, you would require:

* Liquid cash to buoy through the initial few minutes, in which you can expect a financial counterattack in the form of your operating costs being called immediately, etc. (20)

* Sufficient interconnectivity.

* Supplies to maintain your organization operating through the chaos. (20)

* Industrial capacity to establish your organization as the most ready alternative economic arbitrator. (4)

* High morale with both your workers and your soldiers to prevent a Praetorian coup.

* You, personally, remaining alive long enough to keep your organization together to see this through!

* Sufficient popular support in any of your HQs to avoid a police siege.

* Sufficient defense capability to avoid a hacking attack.

* The support or at least the neutrality of Ikko, who is a distant third player in the logistics game, OR sufficient excess capacity to overwhelm both Carpatescu's system and Ikko's should they ally against you (a formal alliance is very very unlikely, but they may end up pushing against you in roughly the same direction just from emergent behavior).

Any surplus in any of these vectors will increase your chances of success in case the other players have taken countermeasures.

Of course, this assumes that Carpatescu calls your bluff; he may capitulate instead.

>>3808318

If we have captured Ikko: we're good.

If we haven't: call her up on IRC and offer "tricking the Morale Monitor into releasing prisoners" in exchange for refusing to help Carpatescu no matter what he wants. Shouldn't be a hard sell!

Actually QM how about that DNA test result.

>>3808318
>* Sufficient popular support in any of your HQs to avoid a police siege.
Well thank christ we set up a second one in South america. Take that Dimsdale, you can't take us to court for anti-trust reasons if we are the economy!

>* Sufficient defense capability to avoid a hacking attack.
Yet more proof that I am right and this research is far more critical than Cell sol.

>>3808328

Factors that will help:

* Having a working nuclear warhead, or ideally more, since you may have to detonate one on camera. Again, you can bluff; build one nuke and fill a bunch of nuclear bomb casings with old pinball parts.

* Having one or more master hackers on your side. You have one. Aki can be deployed normally during the month of the attack, but where she is will be important -- she needs good connectivity, and physical safety. You can use the Garibaldi in Orbital configuration for this purpose.

* Good survival capabilities on your part; you may need to run.

* Good relations with other factions.

Factors that will hinder:

* Any sort of contingency plan by either of the two other players.

* Territories with broadcast media connectivity (such as satellites) working better than internet connectivity.

* Territories without a Network Node.

* Uncaught moles.

* Being bedridden.

* Poor relations with other factions.


(This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but the game will continue if you choose to not take it. It's not the end of the world....)

>>3808284
wouldn't it be better to sell 4 network parts for 8BN than make 2 aerospace parts for 6BN?

>>3808328
We don't have 5 turns to focus on Defense, let alone getting everyone to agree to commit to that for 5 turns.

Its also proof that we need more cash, and we shouldn't sell our supplies, but stockpile them.

>>3808328

>>Sufficient defense capability to avoid a hacking attack.
If we recruit next turn we should find some hackers. We can maybe work the anti large government spiel of the attack; that could get us some allies.

>>3808357
I think we should get Matthews involved somehow.

make him either seem responsible or have him move first or seem like through the on going chaos hes the one making a move and needs to be dealt with first since hes the first visible aggressor in this takeover.

>>3808348
>* Territories with broadcast media connectivity (such as satellites) working better than internet connectivity.
Question, could we disable satellites under our control to reverse this fact in certain regions?

>>3808353
>4 network parts
You are right, I am a bit too tired.

>We don't have 5 turns to focus on Defense
We don't need 5 turns. Each level is an improvement it's just only certain levels actually have a choice / noteworthy thing rather than just a general upgrade.

>Its also proof that we need more cash, and we shouldn't sell our supplies, but stockpile them.
I mean, disasters supplies aren't as critical with this because we're either going to be eliminated or successful over the course of two months, not the year or so our supplies will last our teams.

>>3808357
>If we recruit next turn we should find some hackers. We can maybe work the anti large government spiel of the attack; that could get us some allies.
That'd certainly be a plan. If nothing else we could look into seeing if Aki has any friends that'd be willing to come on board.

>>3808362
We could expose his plan to overthrow Carpestscu the same turn we pull our trick to throw more fuel on the fires of confusion. That or we get his support to try and prevent any unified / organised action against us.

>>3808322

A bit of bad news in that sense; a routine checkup of possibly-Ikko indicates that she is due to deliver a healthy baby girl in five months.

That's good news, but it also means that she isn't Ikko, who you know was expecting a boy.

When confronted, she confirms it -- her name is Cheryl Tiffane, and she and a few other girls volunteered as body doubles for Chloe Steele.

She converted after being yanked off the steps of an abortion clinic and being given a very convincing sermon; she still does not want the baby, believing that she would not be a good parent, and has arranged to have Tom and Josey Fogarty (you have no idea who they are) adopt the baby.

>>3808362

Blaming Pontifex Mathews should things go south would be tricky, but is certainly feasible; you would need to create a convincing fake message of him announcing the takeover. Hacking the EC and Vatican websites is trivial, but you would have to contact some other high prelates and ensure their support (either supporting a takeover, or supporting framing Mathews so he'd take the fall and they'd have a shot at taking his spot), and creating a convincing video message using a body double. Splicing the audio is tricky, but not impossible.

Of course, this would increase the operation's complexity.


(I hadn't thought of that, do you want a breakdown of it?)

>>3808370

Yes, you can do that.

(I mean both the satellites, and the exposing Mathews).

The Ecumenical Council would be a powerful ally, as well.

>>3808362

Well, we're aware that he's trying to depose of Carpatescu and replace him with Leon.

Potential ally, although I'm sure he'd be just as willing to backstab us to save face.


QM: Would there be other 'one-shot opportunities' similar to Economic Takeover?

>>3808372
I was thinking of keeping Carpatescu on our side, because I don't want him to be risked getting killed by Matthews or his faction. That causes us more problems.

That and Carpatescu seems more pragmatic, and Matthews hasn't given us anything but opulence and expectations of bribery.

>>3808372
I want Carpatescu to be distracted by Matthews while we make our move, so he will probably spend all his aggression on Matthews.

Okay guys, how about this:

Foreman Recruits Rose.
Foreman Surveys Germany for an engineer.

Reconfigure Carrier to Orbital -1BN

4 Factories make network equipment

Sell 6 Network parts +12BN

Buy 5 Aerospace parts -15BN

Buy 1 fleet assets -2BN (didn't we get 2 last turn?)

Build 1 CS Pylon in Western Europe

Build 1 Factory in Western Europe
4 work crews

Build 1 Factory in North Africa
4 work crews

Research DEFENSE!!
3 work crews + Aki

Build Satelite 5 parts (1Coms, 1 Lens, 3 Boosters)
3 work crews

Should have 1 BN at this point

All Covert teams go to work with Moira + drones.

Okay here's what I'm thinking, we need to get Carla to give us a loan of as much money as she reasonably can: tell her we've found a solution to her problem; the one where farmers might continue producing food illegally or whatever; once we control the economy, we can more effectively fight to prevent it.

That money will allow us to not sell as many network parts, this stage is critical, as we need these network parts to deploy in all of North America besides the Ex-Mexican / Caribbean states to equalise the ground network with the orbital and thus remove the malus in that region. Other such regions include Europe, the UK and eastern Russia. Western Russia isn't worth the relative investment unless we have a large surplus of parts.

Further more, given we're about to destroy the world economy, we could look into taking loans out against our governmental income since those banks are about to be disconnected from the "real market" and we can just nullify our loans to them potentially. OP please confirm this as true / false?


Let's say we got only 3 Bn from Carla, that'd take our current cash total to 24 Bn and I'll be honest I can't see us ending this turn with less than 12 Bn given we are deploying covert teams to generate a profit and shit. Which means that next turn we can just sell a few Nomeklators or something to make up the difference and we're in business.

>>3808378

OOC

Yes, and it will be presented at least six months in advantce, ideally a year or so

Possible winning or losing outcome are:

Economic, Diplomatic, Space, Military, Narrative Causality.

The default outcome, should the Foreman do nothing, is Narrative Causality Defeat.

For example, CATS going bankrupt constitutes Economic Defeat. Akhenaten striking the Earth in full force would have constituted Space Defeat -- the prophecies are broken, but so's the Earth's crust. So you have dodged one bullet so far.

>>3808398
So we bring her into this conspiracy?
Shes under a lot of pressure already. I'm worried this will cause her to crack.

>>3808397
AND Dr. Diamond goes help UNDRR and GCASA.

1) Assign 4 factories to Nomenklators along with 3 work teams to sell them.

2) Have Foreman talk with Carla to see if we can't get some money off of her.

3) Construct an additional solar-cellular pylon in western and eastern Europe, the UK, eastern Russia and all of North America excluding Central america.

4) Assign 4 work teams to construct a factory in Western Europe with Foreman.

5) Assign 4 work teams to construct a factory in North Africa with Aki.

6) Assign the covert and black-ops teams to situational mission performance with Moira and 4 units of drones as backup.

7) Assign 3 work teams to do research into defence with Aki's help.

8) Dr Diamond goes to help either the UNDRR or GCASA.


Everyone on board with this plan? Assuming OP is willing to tell us if Carla would even consider this?


>>3808400
She'll deal with the stress of it either way, we're talking about collapsing the world economy and reforging it from the ash with us in control. All I want to do is get her on-board so we can secure some extra funds to ease the transition and let her be ready too.

>>3808412

Carla is under more scrutiny than you are -- her agency is newer. She can't lend money out, regardless of how much she might want to.

Right now, she's walking a pretty tall tightrope in Indonesia, India, and most of Africa, and undergoing a crisis of conscience about having signed the Nauru deportation order, and getting ready to muster the enormous fleet of work boats that will be necessary to completely harvest the island in a few months rather than in a decade.

>>3808412
I should add that this current outline is assuming OP will confirm a single fact: that we have one more month of activity before our boss gets pissed at us for failing a Mandate; as otherwise I would move the UK pylon to the central african region to get this shit resolved now.

>>3808377

I'd rather have the Ecumenical Council be our allies... but maybe work at disposing Pope Peter.

This is just a hunch, but I feel that Ecumenical Council is playing a role in the Judgments reduced impact.

Hear me out:

Our theological studies have shown us that belief plays a role in manipulating how some events occur, right?

Example:

The Remnant universally believe in the Seal of God but disagree on how it looks. Hence, why each has a different description about the Seal's appearance.

My hypothesis goes like this:

A. Currently the Ecumenical Council is a conglomerate of the World's various religions. Why a certain level of synergy has been achieved, there are still minor disagreements and differences, most notably demonstrated in the prayer scene when Alkali I was launched against Akhenaten.

There is enough harmony to influence events, like the Korean fan urban legend, but not enough to have a huge impact on the narrative.

B. Carpatescu shows intent to remove the Ecumenical Council towards some sort of Secular Humanist agenda, having expressed disappointment in Matthew's performance.

Assuming he replaces the Ecumenical Council (presumably when ushering in the Mark of the Beast system, applied to those who worship the Image of the Beast), the World's religions are reduced from a myriad of conflicting beliefs to two competing ideologies: Remnant and Secular Humanist, with a negligible remain of religious holdouts.

TL;DR

It's currently in our best interests to have people maintain different beliefs.

Ergo, we want to keep the Ecumenical Council.

>>3808417
Okay so I can't count her as a stream of Revenue, question, would Ryan Andrews be willing to purchase some items off us at an inflated value which we promise to buy back later? Specifically, I'm thinking those VR rigs. I imagine he could find some multi-millionaires willing to pay insane amounts to own a set while we could use the short term injection and can replace them once our economic control is certain.

>>3808424
I agree. Plus the more chefs stirring the soup, the harder it is to notice us poisoning the broth.

>>3808424

Tsion says that Carpatescu's opinion of religion as something that he doesn't care about is a ruse: in truth, when he is possessed by Satan, he will want to be worshiped as the god-emperor of mankind.

Tsion subsequently edited his blog post slightly to avoid having the whole site shut down by a British tabletop game company, but the spirit of the message remained the same.

>>3808424

Dr. Robertson agrees with your assessment, for what it's worth.

>>3808430

Asking a loan of Ryan Andrews is feasible, but he may have conditions. By which, of course, we mean that he will fleece you.

In addition, as much as you know that he has amassed a personal fortune working alongside you, keep in mind that with a few exceptions the budget for a multinational corporation in 2000 is still tiny compared to that of a government agency.

>>3808412
Why are we wasting a team on selling nomenclatures?

>>3808412
Also if we follow this plan even before accounting for any profits from the covert missions, we start next turn with 17Bn, a large amount of money that leaves us close enough to the required amount we can fulfill our requirements just by selling power supplies or using our factories to produce network parts to sell and shit.

>>3808441
>Asking a loan of Ryan Andrews is feasible, but he may have conditions. By which, of course, we mean that he will fleece you.
>In addition, as much as you know that he has amassed a personal fortune working alongside you, keep in mind that with a few exceptions the budget for a multinational corporation in 2000 is still tiny compared to that of a government agency.
True.

>>3808447
Because it is the most efficient way to convert work teams to cash? All other options return the exact same amount of money or less.

>>3808420

Your current mandate is to bring global network coverage to 2 by the end of month 39, or the beginning of month 40.

If you wish to be a little extra and turn on the last pylon when you are meeting with Carpatescu, you're certainly welcome to do so.

>>3808451
We can't borrow money from her, and we lose out on either making something or researching something or saving something.

Did you forget about the comet fragment coming down on us?

>>3808451
Just double checked, I was wrong, production of network parts more efficient. Altering plans:


1) Assign 4 factories to network parts.

2) 3 work teams to produce and sell Nomenklators.

3) Construct an additional solar-cellular pylon in western and eastern Europe, the UK, eastern Russia and all of North America excluding Central america.

4) Assign 4 work teams to construct a factory in Western Europe with Foreman.

5) Assign 4 work teams to construct a factory in North Africa with Aki.

6) Assign the covert and black-ops teams to situational mission performance with Moira and 4 units of drones as backup.

7) Assign 3 work teams to do research into defence with Aki's help.

8) Dr Diamond goes to help either the UNDRR or GCASA.

The only thing left is a single action for Foreman which I guess we could assign to under going combat training in south america or surveying a territory or recruiting one of the heroes we want.

This revised plan sees us start next month with a budget of 21 as a minimum as if nothing ever happened to our money but we could sacrifice the network parts to produce aerospace parts, use the 3 work teams to launch them and attach them to existing orbital assets to re-direct Frag 4 further away from earth.


>>3808453
>If you wish to be a little extra and turn on the last pylon when you are meeting with Carpatescu, you're certainly welcome to do so.
You once said that the detection of the fact the economy is already being managed would need to be discovered by a human operator. Do we have any idea how long we could reasonably expect this to take?

>>3808462
>Did you forget about the comet fragment coming down on us?
No I've just decided that in the grand scheme of things, risking our economic takeover on the offchance that the meteor will burst on the earth's atmosphere is probably excessive given the expense of doing basically anything to try to resolve it.

At best, I am willing to sacrifice our remaining large sat to try and push it further off course but I ain't going to pretend it's a perfect plan: preferably the satellite will detach it's non-mission-critical parts (e,g the camera and network parts since we just need the fuel tank and something to guide it) and we will send up replacement parts later to make them useful once more but if we can't do that from the ground then I accept the loss.

>>3808476
>Sending Aki to Africa
Why.

You made such a big deal for researching defense and now you don't want it?

>>3808486
>Why.
In the hopes of a improved outcome, the same reason we are to work in Western Europe.

>You made such a big deal for researching defense and now you don't want it?
I do, I at no point have removed or discussed removing it from my plan. You will find it is point 7, I believe you are misunderstanding my talk of reassigning 3 work teams as point 7 when it is in fact point 2's teams.

>>3808476
Constructing an excessive amount of Pylons, including in Europe. The point I was trying to make was we get 1 factory for 1 extra pylon in his territory.

Put it in South America by our HQ or something.

In fact put an extra Pylon in both areas with our HQ.

>>3808476

Once the MCP is networking all the major banks together and helping steer financial policy, it'd take between two and six months for a financial analyst to discover that there's already a cybernetic management system in place. Essentially, BOCHICA and the MCP would apply corrections to the same issues, resulting in overcorrection and the necessity of human analysis. The MCP can incorporate other systems' functions, but not learn; BOCHICA can learn, but the genetic algorithm was trained in a MCP-less economy, and it would take very long for it to adapt.

>>3808486

While sending Aki to Africa is a terrible idea, she's not physically going, unless you specfically tell her to; she's just going to make sure that the setup teams have excellent IT support.

>>3808490
>Constructing an excessive amount of Pylons, including in Europe. The point I was trying to make was we get 1 factory for 1 extra pylon in his territory.
It ain't excessive. The pylons aren't for factories, the pylons are for the 2nd potential hinderance to our plan's success as described by OP here >>3808348:

>* Territories with broadcast media connectivity (such as satellites) working better than internet connectivity.

Those pylons I'm building are to equalise the network with the orbital and prevent them working against us.

>>3808494
>Once the MCP is networking all the major banks together and helping steer financial policy, it'd take between two and six months for a financial analyst to discover that there's already a cybernetic management system in place.
Okay so we can be in a meeting with Carpetscu without it getting us killed good.

>>3808494
I'm going to start growing overlords from the fragment, and turn our factories into supply depots.

>>3808503

C2:
Construct a forward logistics hub (small bonus for any action in that territory)

(Yeah, about Fragment 4...)


YOU'VE NOT ENOUGH MINERALS.

>>3808476

I wouldn't worry so much about Fragment 4 exploding; the real risk comes from it hitting the moon, fulfilling the Fourth Trumpet (darkening of 1/3 of the Sun, Stars, and Moon).

Besides, if it exploded in the atmosphere, you're looking at a lot of charred bugs burning up in the atmosphere.

What's particularly confusing is that the Bottomless Pit, the abode of the Locust demons, is also Satan's prison during the Millennium Kingdom.

>>3808507
>I wouldn't worry so much about Fragment 4 exploding; the real risk comes from it hitting the moon, fulfilling the Fourth Trumpet (darkening of 1/3 of the Sun, Stars, and Moon).
Yeah but we'll deal with that if we have to. Fact is we've redirected it from it's godly path and I'm willing to believe that means we are safe-ish.

And it won't look suspicious to Carpatescu since we seem to be avoiding our mandate?

>>3808505
What? Who said anything about hubs? No we feed it like the Lexx.

Don't we control basically everything in the network node sand satellites?

Why meet with him? Why meet in person? Your trying to avoid getting killed, don't meet with him in person where he can kill us, meet from afar.

>>3808501
>>3808520

>>3808520
>And it won't look suspicious to Carpatescu since we seem to be avoiding our mandate?
Anon, I'll say this again because I feel I can't make it any clearer: we have another month and he can only get so annoyed about us leaving fullfilling the mandate to the last second.

If it really bothers you so much, I'll change the one in east russia to central africa and we'll be done with it.

>Don't we control basically everything in the network node sand satellites?
Kinda, there was preexisting orbital assets in most western / russian states.

>Why meet with him? Why meet in person? Your trying to avoid getting killed, don't meet with him in person where he can kill us, meet from afar.
That'll make him suspicious and piss him off. If we've got a month or two's grace and I plan on finishing it the same month he calls on us, then it shouldn't be an issue.

>>3808505
Would finishing research into CellSolar give us any benefit to interconnectivity, or help with the AI take over?

>>3808527
I'd rather finish the mandate on the last month, and I'd rather start the take over from month 40.

What bothers me is that I keep trying to meet you half way, and you do a 360 moonwalk.

So your not planning meeting him during or after you start the takeover then?

>>3808556
>I'd rather finish the mandate on the last month, and I'd rather start the take over from month 40.
I agree.

>What bothers me is that I keep trying to meet you half way, and you do a 360 moonwalk.
I apologise if that is how you feel but I don't see it.

>So your not planning meeting him during or after you start the takeover then?
I plan on meeting him when he demands we do, no sooner or later. To my understanding this is next month and then month 42 so we shouldn't experience any issue. If however my math is wrong, I'd enjoy being corrected as it would also help me remember when we get our next budget.

Tsion announces that in ten weeks he will finally make the trip to Israel, to attend a mass rally of what he expects to be a majority of the 144000 male Jewish virgin evangelists at Kollek Stadium in Jerusalem. He reminds "Mr. Carpatescu" (he does not use the courtesy title) that he has offered protection against being arrested by Israeli authorities for the alleged murder of his family -- Tsion maintains that it was a setup, of course, and that Carpatescu has Tsion's permission to attend.

Carpatescu does not deign this with an answer, but Fortunato gets indignant on his behalf.

The astrobiology lab to study the arsenic-metabolizing bacteria in Mono Lake is being set up off nearby Moffet Field; preliminary results show that it will be possible to grow the critter in order to make water filters, although the adaptation disappears in arsenic-poor environments, and it is not enough to make the bacterium survive in environments that have too much of it. Since genetic modification on a precise scale is at least fifteen years away, the team decide to build a 1950s style "atomic garden" to stimulate faster mutation and artificially select the best strains.

This, however, does nothing to establish whether the critter is terrestrial or not; that will take a long time.

>>3808556

(It depends on who helps with the capstone research. By default, with just regular engineers, it will give a fixed bonus to your 51% attack chances; it may do other things depending on who else works on it).

Your next scheduled meeting is on month 39. The next scheduled meeting is on month 42.

Carpatescu has given you the option to meet via teleconference in quarters in which he's been happy with your work; cutting it too close with the deadline may make him decide that he wants to see you in person, however, he is generally satisfied with your performance, and you just touched base with him lats month in occasion of the Alkali launch.

>>3808476
1) Assign 4 factories to network parts.

2) 3 work teams to produce and sell Nomenklators.

3a) Construct an additional solar-cellular pylon in Western and Eastern Europe, the UK, Eastern Russia and all of North America excluding Central America.

3b) In the case that anons want to perform the mandate competition this month, replace Eastern Russia with Central Africa.

4) Assign 4 work teams to construct a factory in Western Europe with Foreman.

5) Assign 4 work teams to construct a factory in North Africa with Aki.

6) Assign the covert and black-ops teams to situational mission performance with Moira and 4 units of drones as backup.

7) Assign 3 work teams to do research into defence with Aki's help.

8) Dr Diamond goes to help either the UNDRR or GCASA.

9) Foreman performs a survey in Central America.


This is the definitive version of my turn plan and I'd argue our best chance of securing economic supremacy without much risk.


>>3808573
Could we send him a message basically saying "Leaving the Africa situation to last minute in hopes situation resolves, will deploy in last month with excessive security to ensure success if situation does not improve." to imply we wanted to but are scared of losing people or something? Anything to justify the last-minute nature or would he take all of the regions getting a network upgrade as a good enough reason to give us a pass given what we know about him?

>>3808583

You're one of the few people who can send an email to Carpatescu's office and expect a personal reply from the man; at worst, he'll get mad, at best, he'll agree. Your call if you intend to write him.

>>3808583

Is Moira going to go with the Blackwatch, or the other guys?

>>3808600
We'll determine once the missions are known. After all, it wouldn't make sense to deploy her with the Blackwatch if they're doing the least important mission.

>>3808562
>I apologise if that is how you feel but I don't see it.
The moonwalk part? I made that up after experiencing sleep paralysis.

I gave up Cell Sol for Defense and beefing up other projects?

And it seems like you want to give up satellites too.

>>3808573
Why is Turn 42 written and highlight in red under the AI, MCP thing?

>>3808583
No I would like it done by the end of turn 39!

I'd rather we have the team focus on research or something else than make nomenclatures.

Why is foreman surveying instead of recruiting someone like Rose?

>>3808605

That's when the MCP will be sufficiently entrenched in both the financial system, and the habits of the people who run the financial system, that a 51% attack will no longer be possible. (AKA that's when the MCP also crosses the finish line)

>>3808605

Survey actions are used for a chance at recruiting agents.

>>3808605
>I made that up after experiencing sleep paralysis
Well that is horrifying, I hope you are okay anon.

>I gave up Cell Sol for Defense and beefing up other projects?
A fair point. I'll concede that you did alter your plans but the whole 360 thing still makes little sense.

>And it seems like you want to give up satellites too.
Yep. I'd rather focus on the economic thing since that should give us so much control that we can force a victory just by sheer preparation.

>Why is Turn 42 written and highlight in red under the AI, MCP thing?
That is when he wants to bring the system online to my understanding.

>No I would like it done by the end of turn 39!
Okay.

>I'd rather we have the team focus on research or something else than make nomenclatures.
Yeah but they help balance the budget, if I was more confident on what we were going to do next turn then I'd assign them elsewhere but I'm not so I want to ensure we have a good cash surplus to ensure we can do anything we need or want to.

>Why is foreman surveying instead of recruiting someone like Rose?
Because that slipped my mind.

But we are trying to recruit a specific person, that we already encountered. Looking in a different place for them, well unless its "destiny", I doubt we will we find them there.

>>3808619
>the whole 360 thing still makes little sense.
Its a meme?

I mainly just want the satellite at this point, because I don't want to risk the planet being infected by things that can chew up a satellite.

Well maybe we can plan out the next two months then and try to stick to it?

(Imma put the covert ops stuff on the table)

Enoch Litwala is, of course, wanting to keep up momentum -- but you may gain by letting him flounder without your support.

# Press advantage in Morocco by supporting troop movements down to Western Sahara. 1BN

# There's a chance of Raveshaw going for a decapitation strike on Malindi; assist Litwala's militia into moving into Nairobi in force to dissuade that plan. 1BN

# A Nigerian group operating in South Africa has promised Litwala access to a cache of highly advanced weapons, including directed-energy weapons and motorized armor. Escort his emissary there. 1BN

Elsewhere in Africa, here's what's going on.

# Klaue has a buyer for a heart implant; he's willing to pay you in ordnance. (Reward: 1 unit of tier 3 weaponry: bombs, Stinger missiles, small field guns). (Blackwatch optional)

# Someone, you don't know who, has put a bounty on Neall Ellis. 4BN (Blackwatch needed)

Moving away from there, the pickings are a little slim.

# Chairman Yang wants a Japanese zaibatsu CEO and his family rubbed off for actively resisting his policies. 1BN (Blackwatch needed)

# Moira reckons that finishing off that Mexican drug lord will result in a fair amount of loot. (Blackwatch optional; unknown reward)

# UNDRR needs protection as they begin to relocate the Nauru people. (Blackwatch optional)

>>3808634

1) Assign 4 factories to aerospace parts.

2) Sell 3 network parts for 6bn, purchase 2 aerospace parts.

2) 3 work teams launch a satellite at the end of the next month of size 4.

3) Construct an additional solar-cellular pylon in Western Europe and all of North America excluding Central America.

4) Assign 4 work teams to construct a factory in Western Europe with Foreman.

5) Assign 4 work teams to construct a factory in North Africa with Aki.

6) Assign the covert and black-ops teams to situational mission performance with Moira and 4 units of drones as backup.

7) Assign 3 work teams to do research into defence with Aki's help.

8) Dr Diamond goes to help either the UNDRR or GCASA.

9) Foreman attempts to recruit previously encountered agent-opportunities or however you'd phrase that.


And then the following turn starting with: CASH = 7+, 3 POWER, 0 NETW


1) Assign 6 factories and 7 work teams to network parts. Producing 13 in total.

2) Construct a solar-cellular pylon in Eastern Europe, the UK and Eastern Russia.

3) Sell the remaining 10 Network components for 21 Bn.

4) Assign 4 work teams to research Defence, again Aki helping.

5) Assign 2 work teams to research Energy, again Aki helping.

6) Assign Foreman, Foreman and Dr Diamond to surveying all of north america besides central america.

7) Assign the covert and blackops teams again to situational missions with Moira and all 4 drone units in support.


>>3808634
>Its a meme?
I know that, I mean in context.

>I mainly just want the satellite at this point, because I don't want to risk the planet being infected by things that can chew up a satellite.
Fair enough but to be honest I don't see us fitting it into a budget.

>Well maybe we can plan out the next two months then and try to stick to it?
I'm doing that right now. What do you think of it.

>>3808652

First 4 are Covert teams, final one is Blackwatch.

>>3808660
Also I presume the final one does see us get payed, just not a noteworthy profit (e,g we will break even on deploying the team)? If not, change that mission for:

# Moira reckons that finishing off that Mexican drug lord will result in a fair amount of loot. (Blackwatch optional; unknown reward)

>>3808660
Feels like we are spread a little thin no?

>A Nigerian group operating in South Africa has promised
Pretty sure that's a Nigerian Prince behind the deal.

>>3808667
Yeah but we've got drones to soak the risk and we get payed either way. I mean what if they did have energy guns? They could be useful to advance our research later after he's secured africa.

>>3808660

> blackwatch on carla's mission that she is ethically conflicted about

no. just.... no.


>>3808667
>>3808660

> nigerian power armor

But the fooking prawns haven't even landed yet!

>>3808672
Offer them CATs Food and supplies.

I think blackwatch can go with Klaue or the Nigerian group.

I'd rather we get linked up with south Africa to get them into the game, so it allows us some time to do other thing if we don't have to baby sit Litwala

>>3808666

Sorry! The Nauru job pays like normal, 1BN.

>>3808672
>no. just.... no.
Yeah sorry I'm in a rush and I fucked that one and pasted the last two across in the wrong order: the blackwatch were meant to be escorting Klaue's client.

Speaking of the fact I'm in a rush, I'm logging off now and I apologise that I won't be back until 16-17 hours from now so I'll probably miss the end of this vote unless OP is willing to wait or the vote gets tied or something.


I would ask that everyone tries to use my recently posted plan as a basis for future action while I'm offline if we can't agree to use that. Personally I think it's one of our best hopes: it gets the factories; sorts the orbital stuff; improves our security; strengthens the ground network to improve economic takeover odds; grabs a few agents and also grabs a bit of other research while maintaining a comfortable monetary surplus.

>>3808683

It's all good!

but I am going to vote AGAINST any plan that puts Blackwatch on Carlas missions. That's a really fast way to lose a friend.

>>3808691
Yeah like I said, last two missions wrong way round. Literally just have them take the heart-implant mission rather than the island mission. I'd make a new post but I've really got to go, future posts come at a cost for me.

>>3808655
Wouldn't it be better to make network parts from the factories to sell, then buy the parts?

Perhaps we can sell some drones and weapons?

We also don't seem to do our mandate in this or last month?

I also want to see if we can haggle with Gus into letting us build another factory in Europe for another CS Pylon. So maybe put it in like Eastern Russia or Asia somewhere, maybe near Carla's HQ.

>>3808683
Okay, we'll try and keep as much of it as possible.

>>3808696

(Are you seconding the covert stuff, or the whole plan?)

>>3808692

(Have fun, be safe!)

>>3808695
>Wouldn't it be better to make network parts from the factories to sell, then buy the parts?
Seeing as that is what I am suggesting, yes it would.

>Perhaps we can sell some drones and weapons?
Drones no, weapons maybe. Consider power supplies too in fact.

>We also don't seem to do our mandate in this or last month?
Yeah you are right, I missed something in the internal logic. I'd go over it but I'm really pushing the limit here already, I'll see what I can do though if this decision hasn't been made tomorrow if I get a chance: although I'd possibly need to post from a different IP.

At the very least, the minimal change that needs to be made is this: 1 less network part sold in month 1; as the profits from our covert ops odd to cover the difference but just in case they don't, consider dropping the energy research for additional network parts production or similar alterations.

An additional consideration: we don't need to make our economic push immediately if I remember rightly; having 20 Bn next month not critical but extremely advised; possibility of extending to third month?

>I also want to see if we can haggle with Gus into letting us build another factory in Europe for another CS Pylon. So maybe put it in like Eastern Russia or Asia somewhere, maybe near Carla's HQ.
That is a bad idea: the whole point of the pylons is to gain economic control. However given my plan is currently incapable of fulfilling the mandate as you pointed out, we could move that pylon to Africa to fix this fact and satisfy your plan.


The main points of the plan though are there: the factories are critical; the pylons are critical; the (defence) research is critical; the money is critical; the satellite is a compromise point but is admittedly pretty critical potentially to avoiding a plague / trumpet; sell what you must and cut the energy research if you must but try to spare all the critical shit. Rely on the covert team's for profit to makeup the difference if worst comes to worst.

>>3808703
Mostly the covert plan.

>>3808703
1) Assign 4 factories to network parts.

2) Sell 7 network parts for 14bn.

4) 3 work teams launch a satellite at the end of the next month of size 5.

5) Construct an additional solar-cellular pylon in Western Europe and North America by CATS HQ (MID)

6) Assign 4 work teams to construct a factory in Western Europe with Foreman.

7) Assign 4 work teams to construct a factory in North Africa with Aki.

8) Assign the covert and black-ops teams to situational mission performance with Moira and 4 units of drones as backup.

9) Assign 3 work teams to do research into defence with Aki's help.

10) Dr Diamond goes to help either the UNDRR or GCASA.

11) Foreman attempts to recruit previously encountered agent-opportunities or however you'd phrase that.
A)Recruit Rose
B)Survey A place we haven't yet like Europe to recruit a engineer or something.

And then the following turn starting with: CASH = 6+, 3 POWER, 0 NETW

here's my slight changes if its okay for this turn?

>>3808710
I'll try and adapt the 2nd part with mandate, and make up any shortfalls by selling our weapon stocks.

Also doesn't it cost us 1 BN to use work crews to produce a network part? so while it sells for two it ends up netting us 1 bn? Since the production eats up 1 BN? Do I have that right or am I being dumb?

>>3808714

you have that right.

Normally, you cannot sell network parts and so on, but this was around y2k.

You CANNOT sell generators and I am an idiot for leaving that in, but it looks like yer not using it.

(IRL you could pick up generators for pennies on the dollar after the y2k scare resolved into nothing, but enterprise network equipment was still at a premium until march-april)

>>3808725
Wait so selling network parts and Power generation is not possible this turn?

And make 1 network part with crew + Selling it = 1BN - 2BN = 1 BN net Correct?

Please directly confirm this (again) because it will change a lot in the next month post.

>>3808731

Selling network: yes.

Selling power. No, I messed up the paste, it should've gone away Dec 1999.

If anything, right now should be a good time to buy network parts. God I'm dumb.

> And make 1 network part with crew + Selling it = 1BN - 2BN = 1 BN net Correct?

Yes

>>3808739
I'm mildly confused, due to reading the reply in context to my post.....

I think we are all being a bit dumb and confused.

Its like I haven't slept and barely ate in a while. Since yesterday?

>>3808739
Selling network: Yes, its possible to sell.

Correct? Y/N?

>>3808748

yes.

>>3808739
Selling power: No, market is inflated so not worth any money.

Correct? Y/N?

>>3808739
Last few.

Selling a network part after Y2K is worth 1BN
Correct? Y/N?

Using a work crew to make a network part and selling it will net us 0BN due to cost in making it.
Correct? Y/N?

>>3808751

also correct

>>3808660

(To clarify: As per >>3808683 this should say
# Press advantage in Morocco by supporting troop movements down to Western Sahara. 1BN

# There's a chance of Raveshaw going for a decapitation strike on Malindi; assist Litwala's militia into moving into Nairobi in force to dissuade that plan. 1BN

# UNDRR needs protection as they begin to relocate the Nauru people.

# Klaue has a buyer for a heart implant; he's willing to pay you in ordnance. (Reward: 1 unit of tier 3 weaponry: bombs, Stinger missiles, small field guns).


# A Nigerian group operating in South Africa has promised Litwala access to a cache of highly advanced weapons, including directed-energy weapons and motorized armor. Escort his emissary there. Blackwatch

1) Assign 6 factories to network parts.

2) Construct a solar-cellular pylon in, the UK, Eastern Russia, South America by our HQ, Eastern USA, and West USA.

3) Sell the remaining 1 Network components for 2 Bn.

4) Assign 4 work teams to research Defence, again Aki helping.

5) Assign 2 work teams to research Energy, again Aki helping.

6) Assign Foreman, Foreman and Dr Diamond to surveying all of north america besides central america.

7) Recruit a work crew 3 work teams

8) Make nomenclators to sell 5 work crews. +5BN

9) Assign the covert and blackops teams again to situational missions with Moira and all 4 drone units in support.

4BN left?

>>3808759
As for the cover teams, I'd like to double up the teams but I guess we'll stretch them thin.

At least there's enough drones to cover each team...

# Press advantage in Morocco by supporting troop movements down to Western Sahara. 1BN

# There's a chance of Raveshaw going for a decapitation strike on Malindi; assist Litwala's militia into moving into Nairobi in force to dissuade that plan. 1BN

>>3808712
>>3808655

I'm going to put these together.

These look hard to put together, we should use the "make and sell nomenklators" bonus since it's going away. so how about.

1) 4 factories make Nomenklators. It's the last time we get to sell them so let's go all out.

2) Construct an additional solar-cellular pylon in Western Europe

3) Assign 4 work teams to construct a factory in Western Europe with Foreman.

4) Assign 4 work teams to construct a factory in North Africa with Aki.

5) Assign 3 work teams to do research into defence with Aki's help.

6) Moira and Suzanna and drones with covert ops teams.

7) Foreman tries to recruit. Try to get Roze.

This leaves out 2 work teams. The problem is that this plan has no space stuff. Thoughs? Maybe risk failing some things?

They're around! They are doing quite well, in fact...

One thing that annoys you is that they have been preaching far and wide that Fragment 4 is in fact a UFO, and will make a soft landing, and bring wonderful gifts to humanity.

Since F4 has changed trajectory "unexpectedly" (due to the nudger probe), their preaching is getting some traction in the popular press and on the internet. You hope that this collective surge of belief won't affect Fragment 4's atmospheric skip, which is an inherently chaotic and unpredictable event.


Tsion Ben-Judah had a long and surprisingly polite blog post to make about it on his website, the gist of which being that aliens can't exist because they aren't mentioned in the Bible:

In a biblical worldview, we don’t expect alien life to exist. The Bible tells us Earth was formed to be inhabited and the other celestial bodies were created for signs, seasons, days, and years. It was to Earth that Jesus came to save us, not to another planet to save another race of beings.

When I think of the majority of intelligent scientists who have studied God’s magnificent creation but have nonetheless rejected Him and have instead chosen to believe in aliens and millions of years of evolution, I am reminded of Romans 1:18–25. God’s invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—are clearly revealed in the natural world so that there is no excuse for rejecting God or suppressing the truth about Him. The thinking of man apart from God is nothing more than futile speculations. Exchanging the truth of God, such as creation, for a lie, such as evolution, and turning to a mere creature such as hypothetical aliens for answers is strikingly similar to what is recorded in Romans 1:25.

But when we start from the Bible, the evidence makes sense. The universe is consistent with the biblical teaching that the earth is a special creation. The magnificent beauty and size of a universe, which is apparently devoid of life except for one little world where life abounds, is exactly what we would expect from a biblical worldview. The truth is not “out there;” the truth is in there—in the Bible! The Lord Jesus is the truth (John 14:6). So, when we base our thinking on what God has said in His Word, we find that the universe makes sense.


The Raelian response is pretty lapidary: "Aliens can't exist because they are not in the Bible? Great, neither are America or Australia. Where's half your congregation from again?"

You're dispatching most of your forces to Africa; Rebohoth is growing more vulnerable by the day, and it makes sense to press on.

You handpick older folks with prior police experience and a record of compassion for the platoon you'll be sending Carla; the relocation of Nauru must happen in a peaceful manner. Most of the islanders will be moved to the nearby Solomon Islands and be assigned plots of land that will try to mimic their existing way of life; however, a number of them, especially the young, wish to move to New Zealand instead.

--

Klaue meets with your security squad, and Dr. Diamond, off the coast of Senegal, on the Garibaldi; the carrier is configured as a hospital ship, with a medevac helicopter courtesy of the Moroccan people from the last time the modular warship was in that area. Klaue has been told that it's ultimately Dr. Diamond's decision whether the artificial heart can be installed right there on the ship or next month at her facility in Rio, and is okay with it.

Your people aren't too surprised to discover that the patient is Klaue himself. "Let's face, I'm not as young as I used to be. I could use the extra stamina, and I could damn well use the life insurance since Mainyu Mazda is on my case. Besides, consider it advertisement: I get a bit of bionic superman cred, you get more customers."

--

Your troops land in Malindi and spread out across the continent from there; a few of your men have actually been flying back and forth, taking full advantage of your "frequent-flyer program" that lets most of your personnel fly for free. Some will remain in Kenya, some will head north.

A few days after the Tiger Mafia is pounding the ground again, your Blackwatch platoon makes a much less triumphal entry in Nairobi airport, undercover, and meets Litwala's negotiator there.

>>3808851

If we had the advanced augmentations, we could make him Dr. Klaue.

>>3808851

Litwala's political platform isn't anything to write home about: he pledges that Africa will properly join the global economy, and that rising tide will lift all boats. Admittedly, the arrival of a team of cyberneticists intending to help organize Northern Africa's disparate manufacturies and artisanal workshops so that they can sell to the global marketplace in an efficient way seems to match his lofty goal; the people living there, or in Kenya, don't know that it's in big part your doing, and don't need to.

Raveshaw is smart enough to figure that the window of opportunity for taking down Litwala is closing, and takes it with a vengeance: the same subversion teams that forced your people to retreat from the valley last month now terrorize Malindi with a series of American-style shooting sprees. Uniformly, the people responsible were terminal Eye Candy addicts. With the militia and police busy trying to prevent the next shooting, and having to crackdown on narcotics -- which makes them easy target for propaganda ops painting them as oppressors -- Litwala decides to move camp to Nairobi.

A squad of sharpshooters is waiting for him. Litwala was wise enough to use body doubles, and loses one in a well-orchestrated shooting that sees a sharpshooter strike from an office building.

Fortunately for the would-be subpotentate, Moira has a decade of experience in dirty fighting in a city; while her platoon stays in Malindi to keep the peace, she appoints herself Litwala's personal bodyguard, and acts as extra as she possibly can, to the point where the statesman complains that she's cutting into his airtime. Raveshaw's assassins realize that they have to take her out of commission first, and for a moment, they do -- she is apparently shot in the chest diving to protect her charge.

Litwala calls for a day of mourning; the assassins' daring plan to go after him during Moira's funeral is foiled by the Irishwoman herself who, courtesy of a blood squib and modern body armor, was merely winded. The implant helped her get back into the fight quickly, but she'll need to rest for a few days due to overexertion.

Attrition, and the ensuing firefight -- during which Moira shows what someone with two hearts can do, running down the sharpshooters like a San persistence hunter -- almost wipe out your drone contingent, but Moira is little worse for wear.

Litwala takes credit for the plan, but his decision to abandon Malindi is ill seen by his supporters; overall, it's a wash. Moira's reputation, however, is greatly burnished, with Raveshaw himself vowing that he is going to cut the war witch's heart out of her chest with a spoon.

* Assassination foiled

(Thanks! I think the disagreement is over the work plan)

So shouldn't we have two satellites?
one is
1 propellent 1 camera 3 repeater

Another is
It carries 3 repeaters, 1 hydrazine tank, and 1 camera array

The large satellite design takes relatively little time: much like everything else you've been doing, losing a little bit of efficiency for the sake of modularity has paid off in speeding up deployment time greatly. The satellite will hold a large amount of repeaters - essentially, the guts of three of your microsat swarms, set to pop out of the repurposed space station module and then sit out on semirigid tethers - and a telescope camera.

McLachalan of GCASA lets you know that his teams are assembling an Energia rocket stack, with a large nuclear warhead on top, as Carpatescu commanded. You're due to launch the big satellite at Baikonur at the end of the month. You do have to decide which territory it will watch over, though. It carries 3 repeaters, 1 hydrazine tank, and 1 camera array that has been configured to look for otherworldly threats.

No.3774460
Your engineers have designed a large satellite, derived from Soyuz/Salyut/Shenzhou components, that can hold cameras and other systems in addition to repeater antennas and cache drives.
You currently have one in a Molniya orbit over western Russia.
Further research into satellites will allow making more component types. Right now you can install communications arrays (which do the job they are supposed to do), cameras (configured for high-resolution terrain imaging, or asteroid tracking), and hydrazine tanks, allowing it to change its orbit or perform a (somewhat) controlled crash.
The satellite also holds 20kg of seeds and a reentry pod for them, as a sort of ark of last resort in case of ecocide.


Its hard to go over it in a rush, but We spend 1 satellite recently that was a pusher in the last thread... That much I remember.

Klaue is on the Garibaldi when the news of the false assassination comes on, and asks Dr. Diamond to do the operation immediately, on the ship. She patiently explains that the hospital ship's facilities are adequate, but not as good as what is available in Rio. It's fairly obvious that he was hoping to get some of his people to learn how to implant the technology. Eventually, realizing that the operation is invasive and there's a chance of death, the man relents, and the two fly back to Rio to do the deed.

Klaue will be out of commission for a month or so while he recovers; for now, after seeing what Moira can do, he's very happy to pay the agreed-upon price.

The Garibaldi's cargo hold is heavy with

# field artillery pieces.

# bombs, air-to-air missiles, and rocket pods for the Antonovs and IFVs.

# miniguns.

* Tier 3 weapons can now be bought.

Your OTHER attempt at weapons trafficking involving advanced technology and dodgy black marketeers, alas, doesn't go nearly as well: your people escort Litwala's emissary into South Africa, where they meet in the camp of a Nigerian gang. It becomes pretty obvious that the "advanced weapons" are regular bullpup rifles that have been trussed up with unnecessary parts to look futuristic. The gang even rustled up some movie props to add to the shipment!

Your men point this out to Litwala's envoy, and when he tries to back out of the deal, the Nigerians made it very clear that it's too late to back off, and his choices are take the weapons and leave the money, or leave both.

Getting your drones to simulate a police raid, with sirens and the occasional pistol shot, is trivial; the Nigerians are sufficiently jumpy that they fall for it, and in the next twenty seconds, your Blackwatch platoon break the standoff and effectively massacres half the gang.

The emissary goes back to Litwala in disgrace,

The "exoskeleton" turned out to be a sort of leg and back brace intended for use by dockworkers for preventing back injuries in repetitive lifting jobs; you understand that a Korean company prototyped it a few years back, but got nothing concrete out of it. Your men take that back to the Garibaldi, as well as some cool looking but useless toys. The bullpup rifles, once stripped of the Nerf accessories and so on, are fairly serviceable, and will be used to arm Litwala's militia.

The Blackwatch have a story to tell, and at least Litwala paid up without making a fuss.


>>3808914

Yep.


>>3808904

You do have two big satellites, see the map - they're the blue triangle pointing left, with "h1" text, which means they have 1 tank each. :)

The nudger isn't on the map because it was sent to F4 immediately.

I thought we had a 3 tank one.....

Whatever.

So why did we go to an obvious Nigerian scam again?

>>3808918

Enoch Litwala is not a nice man, but this situation needs no nice men: he can handle the nuances of regime change in Africa far better than you ever could.

Western Sahara has been a semiautonomous contested territory for decades, and taking it means convincing every village mayor and every head of a nomadic extended family that they are better off working with you than against you.

Your covert ops platoon works closely with the workers setting up a Synco system in northern Africa, escorting them, providing support, and occasionally letting Litwala's men smooth feathers after they have been ruffled.

This part of the world does not have much of an industrial economy, but Aki's help means that the Synco system installed here will turn the nuance of the existing -- and often centuries old -- informal network of traders, workshops, traditional manufactories, and artisan dynasties that exists in the region by giving them a gateway to the global market that will not disturb their way of life. For example, rather than sending work orders to shops directly, the system will go through existing village brokers, setting up a sort of reverse auction between them that will result in lower markups without affecting the artisans' profits. The modified Synco system also puts in place a microlending infrastructure that will encourage people to set up their own small shop or trading stall, increasing goods liquidity. Taking cues from the experience of Dr. Muhammad Yunus in Bangladesh, the microlending system is apparently run in person, with mostly women going door to door to propose transaction to possible candidates (and recording data with the Nomenklator under their shawls). A few instances of people intending to push back the new system violently are quickly made an example of by your security squads, and the transition is peaceful.

Aki has been gearing up for a hacker war with the MCP, and hopes that what she learned about alternatives to traditional finances here will help -- she's not worried about taking out the MCP so much as she's worried about the aftermath.

It becomes clear, after three weeks or so, that the advantages of joining up with Litwala far outweigh the fear of Rebohoth, and the Western Sahara territory is taken by Litwala with a body count in the low double digits.

* The BOCHICA factory management system was installed successfully in northern Africa.

* The security operation was successful.

# miniguns

Not a military nerd, but they're portable yes? Can they mounted to jeeps or made into "Gatling guns"? The latter could be useful in gunning down Demonic Cavalry...

On the other side of the world, things aren't going so well; the evacuation of Nauru was marred by a riot. Drone surveillance does much to nip this sort of thing in the bud, but the riot's spark -- a fight between two families over a choice piece of land in the Solomon Islands -- was unavoidable.

The evacuation has begun, but Carla was hoping that it would not have to happen at gunpoint, or involve body bags; she sees even as much as one death as a failure.

Your men did their job with competence, and as much as they could, with compassion, but sometimes it's possible to do everything right and still lose; there's no great lesson to learn there, it's just... life.

But people still died.

You brace for a phone call from UNDRR HQ, and it comes -- but rather than angry, or exhasperated, it's just sad. Carla is a statistician: she knows that, by any metric, the evacuation -- forced relocation, rather, as she calls it in person, although not on official documents -- is going much better than comparable operations in previous history.

But people still died.

The four victims of normal human stupidity are buried in their people's new homeland; hopefully, in time, it will help them put down roots.

(OK, so what's the work plan?)

>>3808918
# bombs, air-to-air missiles, and rocket pods for the Antonovs and IFVs.
There was mention of Rebohoth coming across air power?

>>3808712
Ill support this. We are selling stuff next turn to do the 51% yeah?

>>3808967

Yes; he was setting up an air cavalry unit using repurposed civilian planes, much like yours.

>>3808968

Remember that you must have 20BN and 20 units of supplies in storage.

>>3808951

(Oh, there's all sort of stuff. Here's one I personally hate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxqfxhsAYYI )

>>3808968
I don't know. Purple anons plan was to do so with network parts being sold to make up for the shortfall but he seemed to have overlooked that by using crews to build and sell, we don't make enough to cover it since it costs 1 BN to make a network part with humans, and sells for 2BN nets us only 1 BN so its more effort than it's worth. May as well sell nomenclators.

So I'm trying to figure how to make up the shortfall without having to butcher his original post and wishes to the point we'd need to rethink it all.

I'm tempted to do it in turn 40, but it was strongly against that.

Selling most of our supplies won't even cover it, unless we cut back on making CS pylons and selling the network parts, which handicaps us in the 51% attack. More pylons = greater success.

>>3808977
*He was strongly against that.

>>3808962
Where is the south African support?

>>3808977

There is a bonus on selling Nomenklator this month. However, you are likely to no longer be able to do so soon, because BOCHICA headsets that are less well integrated but cheaper and easier to buy are getting to be a thing.

>>3808980

(North Africa support + factory with Aki is in >>3808946 )

>>3808983
South Africans and the farmers.

They said they would help.

>>3808986

(This month's caper for South Africa was the Nigerian guys)

Litwala has been negotiating that particular land dispute; you don't think he'll get farther with it than anyone before him, but at least for now they aren't shooting at each other.

>>3808977
Well we use our 6 factories to make 6 network and sell em we make 12 so thats most of it
Then we can use 2 teams to make the celsol pylon amd the rest to make and sell nomenclatures and research def.

>>3808993
We only have 4 factories right now, two of them are to be built/being built

Klaue has been cautioned by Suzanna to not overindulge; in order to make sure that he keeps to that, his implant is firmware-locked in monitoring mode until he's stayed sober for at least two weeks, as measured by the implant itself. You asked Suzanna to install a GPS in the unit, but she refused, citing the Hippocratic oath and her patient's obvious wish that it not be done.

>>3809001

Nope, you did not. You got paid by Enoch Litwala -- he was happy to fork the cash over, not wanting to be further embarassed by the incident -- and the small arms that your Blackwatch platoon recovered were distributed to local militias loyal to Enoch.

>>3808991
>>3808991
1) Assign 4 factories to network parts.

2) Sell 7 network parts for 14bn.

3) Buy 4 Aerospace parts.

4) 3 work teams launch a satellite at the end of the next month of size 4.

5) Construct an additional solar-cellular pylon in Western Europe and North America by CATS HQ (MID)

6) Assign 4 work teams to construct a factory in Western Europe with Foreman.

7) Assign 4 work teams to construct a factory in North Africa with Aki.

8) Assign 3 work teams to do research into defence with Aki's help.

9) Dr Diamond goes to help either the UNDRR or GCASA.

10) Foreman attempts to recruit previously encountered agent-opportunities or however you'd phrase that.
A)Recruit Rose
B)Survey A place we haven't yet like Europe to recruit a engineer or something.

Some actions are already done and have been removed, ie African combat operations.

Get the factories build and get the factory in Europe built

We should have 14 BN.

>>3809004
So the next most agreeable thing is the CS Pylon in Western Europe + Building the Factory.

>>3809005
Ah shoot I forgot to remove an extra action for the foreman.

>bombs, air-to-air missiles, and rocket pods for the Antonovs and IFVs

File: XC-120_Packplane_composite[1].jpg (24 KB, 500x333)

Rolled 36, 10, 10 = 56 (3d100)

Antonovs are slow, but very maneuverable; with the addition of rocket pods taken from combat helicopters, they will be able to stand a chance against similarly armed aircraft. Rebohoth's ersatz air force is expected to use newer planes which will be faster, but less maneuverable and less resistant to damage -- your pilots will have to take that into consideration before getting into a dogfight.

The rocket pods can also be installed on your IFVs, giving them some anti-air capabilities.

Of course, removing gunners and passengers in favor of a bomb bay also increases your small air force's tactical options. Klaue's men help yours in identifying the most commonly available bomblet ordnance type, and after about a week of tinkering, you have GPS-guided Mark 81 bombs that can be carried under an Antonov's wings.

Your engineers briefly consider rebuilding the Antonovs into pod-planes like the XC120, but decide that it would be a little excessive, and cut into the Soviet biplane's simplicity of design and maintenance. Instead, the planes' lower fuselage is strengthened with two titanium bars, and a slot is cut on the bottom between them to allow relatively quick replacement of the passenger compartment with a bomb bay. A simple pit arrangement much like that in a mechanic's shop allows replacements to be made in a few hours.

Barring a miracle or the recruiting of a pilot with superhuman skill, none of this would be much help against a modern air force, of course, but there's only one of those left on Earth, and it seems to be willing to remain neutral.

--

After the brief, and fortunately unjustified, Y2K panic, businesses want to shore up their IT infrastructure; your factories and workers are happy to oblige.

You want to get some insurance when it comes to Fragment 4, and once again lease the Baikonur launch pad for a Proton rocket to be assembled; officially, this is simply another communications satellite in your constellation -- the nudger probe, on the books, did not shut off its maneuvering thrusters after orbital insertion and tumbled off into the wrong orbit.

After discovering that you did not, after all, catch Ikko, you decide to prepare for retaliation; while writing software for the African Synco system, Aki will also cooperate with Vajpayee to ensure that your systems cannot be subverted.

The two do not get along one bit.

Vajpayee hates Aki's scattershot approach; Aki seems to have slowly figured out that she is outside your regular command structure (more likely, she figured out that there is a command structure other than "The Foreman usually tells people what to work on") and her attempt to make friends with your security chief by initiating a little prank war misfires spectacularly, culminating in the "death" of a drone tank by revolver shot and Vajpayee's utter refusal to help Aki fix it (she doesn't need his help, of course, she just wanted to do something with him that she's comfortable doing despite her social anxiety).

>>3809408
(And we're back to regular LBQ dice I see. Get those gap generators going, folks!)

>>3809408

You end up with an improved internal network, an annoyed security chief, a fairly confused roboticist, and a slight hit to HQ morale; everyone was looking forward to a bit of shenanigans, but Vajpayee put the kibosh on that. Fortunately, Aki is mature enough to understand that she shouldn't try again, and your mega-nerd contingent has a shiny new VR arcade to distract themselves with. Between that and the new high-density CellSol pylons, the area around your HQ is once again among the best served in the world; Dimmsdale visits the arcade, shows off his Wild Gunman skills, nobody makes the obvious Back to the Future joke because sadly there are no children age 4 to 16 anymore, and praises American ingenuity.

Your efforts to find Synder Roze likewise come to little gain; all you can tell is that Roze is NOT the person who has been pretending to be Aki in the few high-profile cyberheists that have been happening across Europe... but even that is because the supposed perp told you as much, by anonymous SMS that you eventually trace to an old cell phone wired up to a packet radio talking to who knows what.

An anonymous collective of hackers and activists has discovered the existence of the MCP and the plan to centralize and integrate the financial markets... and, in fairness with some cognition of cause, blames CATS for it; the general public still sees you as the man who built the modern Internet, but in hacker circles you're... well, not as reviled as Gilbert Bates, but certainly no longer seen as a saint.

You wonder if this is a false-flag disinformation campaign, and if so, who could be masterminding it?

This takes up most of your time in Europe; your meeting with Dr. Gustav upon the subsumption of the old French Minitel network into the new Synco system is professional, brief, and ends with you gaining precious little in terms of influence. On the other hand, the system works excellently; French and German farmers, small shop owners, and local shippers are already familiar with videotex terminals and have been for years, so the prospect of seeing them upgraded -- it's all done server side, these are dumb terminals, but still -- to help them manage their business, at no cost to them, is well worth signing a very long and complicated privacy policy that allows BOCHICA to use their business data to further improve its predictive capabilities. In Italy, where Videotel never made much of an impact before the internet arrived, the same effect is reached by distributing a Minitel emulator program -- small businessmen eventually buy up old 286 and 386 PCs to use as dedicated Synco terminals, resulting in a few interesting months for local sysadmins.

Suzanna's time this month has been completely taken up by operating on Klaue.

# End month.

# Contact Ikko.

# Try to be there for Carla.

# Talk to Aki and Raman.

# Something else.

Rolled 2 (1d2)

>>3809419
I can't think of anything decent or good to ask Ikko right now so....
# Talk to Aki and Raman.

How effective would 2 tanks and 1 com and 1 camera be for pushing? Would 3 tank for boosters/thrust be significant?

>>3809424

Yes, it would be significant. However, at this point it's more a matter of ensuring that F4 hits the atmosphere at the right angle, more than any momentum transfer. Imagine a flat stone skipping on water; it's all about the angle it hits at.

That said, having a nice camera will answer the big question -- is there anything alive on the fragment?

The joint venture with Ryan Andrews and the Ecumenical Council is bringing some fruit; you receive a high-resolution scan of a complete copy of the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, one of the most sought after grimoires in the 1500s.

Interestingly, the incomplete version was usually sold as an appendix to De Praestigiis Daemonum, possibly the world's first treatise to make the point that witchcraft doesn't exist and people who act possessed are in fact mentally ill. If it had seen wider distribution, maybe we'd have skipped the Salem witch trials...

# Leaking this out should, if anything, dampen the occult fad a bit; let's do that.

# Your Remnant prisoners are very unlikely to read it, but make it available to them anyway, to see what happens.

# Just put it on the reference-texts server for now.

Pontifex Mathews is a little miffed about Tsion not having invited him at the gathering of witnesses in Israel; he wouldn't WANT to go, per se, being as it's a relatively small event of a relatively obscure sect, but it is still a slight that he was not invited.

(You can talk to Ikko about that, if you like).

>>3809424

You sit down your quarreling employees, and get Aki to apologize to Raman for having a drone tank steal his coffee for three days in a row (she seems genuinely sorry), and Raman to apologize for shooting the tank (he's not sorry at all, but is willing to play along for productivity's sake).

# Pretend to take Aki's side (Raman is mostly okay with that, you talked about it earlier).

# Take Raman's side.

# You're the boss and have to be impartial.

These two are never going to like each other very much, but they should be able to get their stuff done. Specifically, you ask them to focus on

# physical security: ferreting out moles, getting early warnings on attacks on personnel, and the like. Raman tells you that it would be good to keep a security squad available to react to threats, at least once the Africa situation is solved.

# cybersecurity: preventing leaks and intrusion attempts, and allowing BOCHICA to be more resilient. Aki says that she's pretty sure your systems are secure as long as you have sysadmins in the building actively keeping an eye on things, but when left to themselves, they are a bit too open.

Both will continue to get done, of course, but one will receive greater attention than the other.

>>3809440

(You cannot pretend to take Raman's side; he's an old cop, he'd notice, and that level of social interaction is a few steps too complicated for Aki Lattinen -- if you were to yell at her as part of a prank, to put it in her words, you know she'd still feel hurt about it).

>>3809440
Okay then buy an extra Aerospace part leaving us with 11BN maybe if I totaled everything right.

I'd like to buy a fleet part too buy I'm trying to save on costs... However We may need to switch the carrier to orbital support.

# Your Remnant prisoners are very unlikely to read it, but make it available to them anyway, to see what happens.

Separate some of them and not allow some to read them for control study.

# You're the boss and have to be impartial.
Aki try and be more profession with someone like Raman. Not everyone has time or patience to play games and have fun. Raman. Seriously don't discharge firearms in the office like that unless its a actual threat or carrying bombs, or something like that.

# Pretend to take Aki's side (Raman is mostly okay with that, you talked about it earlier).
Shes probably gonna cry and think we hate her if we don't. But we should have a one on one chat with her in VR while eating snacks with her.

Hug her later, and bring her some fizzy and tiny snacks to eat with her later.

# cybersecurity: preventing leaks and intrusion attempts, and allowing BOCHICA to be more resilient. Aki says that she's pretty sure your systems are secure as long as you have sysadmins in the building actively keeping an eye on things, but when left to themselves, they are a bit too open.

Ramans right we really should leave a team to guard the HQ. I presume we can as Santiago to post some guards at our South American HQ for free?

>>3809444
Can we attach some machine guns and SAMs on our carrier? Like the shoulder launched anti air missiles.

>>3809461

Your South American HQ was built to suit the subpotentate's preferences and advance her cultural vision -- it has armed guards, and it looks pretty fortress-like, too.

Your rent-a-cop guards in Chicago also carry handguns, it's not a particularly strange sight in this part of the world after all. That's good if you are dealing with a burglar, but should Dimmsdale decide to SWAT you, you'd likely lose the siege unless you could recall people quickly. Of course, he has no intention of doing so, at this time.

(Note that you will need 20 between power and supplies, and 20 cash, to execute the 51% attack safely)

>>3809463

Yes, the rocket pods can be used to defend the Garibaldi if necessary. In general, any vehicle weapons that aren't actively in use by the IFVs or the airplanes can be mounted on the carrier's island.

It's a far cry from her original defense complement of anti-air missiles, flares, and CIWS, but it's better than nothing, and she still has ECM capabilities.

(Note: If you do decide to install the large Stirling engine on the Garibaldi, it can be done next time she gets a refit AND she is in the Atlantic, Pacific or Arctic. This currently has no game benefits since hydrocarbon fuel is plentiful, but who knows in the future?)

>>3809469

The other uses for the large Stirling are in one of your HQs, in the Thule base, or keeping it around for future use. Essentially, it's a one-of-a-kind giant radiothermal generator running a radial Stirling engine. A bunch of racist Ayn Rand fanboys bought it from someone who claimed that it was the real-life version of John Galt's electrostatic motor, and you helped Dimmsdale lock them all up after getting them blamed for a terror attack on a pipeline.

Your mining base in Effincold has something similar, but unlike this one, it cannot be moved in one piece.

>>3809469
>20 between power
Oh fug.

I was planning on making up the 20 BN next month but being able to make up 20 Power and 20 BN is not really possible.

>>3809478

You currently have 3 power and 23 supplies, so that's 26 total.

>>3809478
Yeah its power and supplies together

>>3809477
Well we can either put it in Thule or the carrier. I'd rather if Dr Robertson could come up with one that takes the good designs and ideas from both power generators and makes a better one.

I suppose It should be either our carrier or American HQ.

I'll opt for the American HQ.

>>3809480
>Note that you will need 20 between power and supplies, and 20 cash, to execute the 51% attack safely
So we need:
20 Supplies. Check
20 Cash. Not quite there yet.
20 Power. Nope, not even close.

Wait. is it a sum total? Like Supplies+BN+Power?

So we have something like 37?

>>3809486

It's 20 of (cash) AND 20 of (supplies OR power).

You can try a 51% attack without cash on hand, however, you would have to initiate it immediately after the budget for the next trimester has gone through, so, at the end of the month.

>>3809489
Can we do all 3 for greater chance?
