Saving a Nation, By Any Means Necessary (Modern/Sci-Fi meets Fantasy CK2)

With the captured team rescued and in the hands of the capable healers at the Temple, you can strike one headache off the rather long list you have. But before you can relax and take it easy, there are still many things to be done and more concerns to be addressed. That bunny bandit, Bethany, is still out there along with your stolen electronics, doing who knows what with them. Your fighting forces needs replenishing and expansion. You need more money to do research, build infrastructure, and hire more people. And now, you hear rumors of a war that is about to ignite again with your Foundation probably being caught in the middle of the fighting. If there is a silver lining to all of this, is that, even in war, there will be plenty of demand for practical research for military applications, even if the subject of research isn't better weapons. Taken altogether, it is a toss-up situation, with a good outcome and a bad outcome equally possible...

Wealth: 24+40-20=44
Time until rescue team fully recovers: 2

Martial: The combat operation last month is the first of hopefully many victories, but it did drain your forces a bit. With war possibly over the horizon, there are plenty of military things to take care of in terms of from recruitment and training to questing and other combat related tasks. It will be a busy month for your hired help…

Pick 1:

Chance of Success: 70% Reward: Established contact with Deathwood Company.
