Before DeDeDe died I wanted to make an Omake of Viper finding the Brutus protocols, now I wil just make an Omake of Viper going over them *winku*
Go ahead, I look forward to seeing what you create.
Edit:
I came acros a song that kind of fits Master Viper Jamieson. Not perfectly but pretty wel.

Yeah, fits pretty well. I can sleep when I am dead is a pretty accurate summary of his attitude, especially since being dead is not really permanent for him.
 
I just realised, that alien is stil a thing and I believe there is one we can grab if where fast enough and more importantly, willing to risk it.

Can't integrate implants. Having them implanted is a free action.

We've got someone else already helping with the bunker, you mind helping with the mine so the minions there have someone to yell at them?
 
Ruling: On Unaccompanied Minions
Only minions are working on the mine right now. If a mad scientist works on the mine, I will join them.
Minions without a Mad Scientist bossing them around get the following debuffs, based on action type.

Research: -98% effective skill level
Operations: -60% effective skill level
Espionage: -20% effective skill level
Combat: -40% effective skill level

It kind of shows where the mad method is most effective. It is most effective in Research follow by Operations (minion management) while combat is okey ish Because even without Mad strategie trained people kind of No What to do and espionage appearntly pulls the least of the mad method. Mad method is kinda about being eccentric So makes sense.
 
Ruling: On base-building and lone wolves
I don't think base building is one of those lone-wolf things.

@I just write Does Basebuilding count as "manufactoring", as far as avoiding the Lone Wolf penalty?
Yes, base-building avoids the lone-wolf penalty, so long as you provide evidence that more than one player wants those particular rooms built.
 
Alright, so our spider bots will excavate 54 more rooms and the hired help will make 60. We will be good for housing for the near future. With our vastly extended bases, we are going to need more money. A hoard of espionage Navis should be helpful for that.

Can Navis do Operations, if said operations are largely computer based? Like trading stocks, digital paperwork, and what not?

You need to do a Research project to add that functionality.

Well, good thing I'm doing a research project to improve Net Navis.

That said, I'm currently alone on that effort. Here's a list of projects that are current lone wolfs that people might want to help with

[] Create a Blueprint:
-[] Warren, an organism-agnostic room that creates and counters the cost of minions at the same rate as a Replicator hub until its currency pool is fully tapped out. If the space supply is capped before the currency, the remaining currency can be used akin to the Forging Furnace. tldr, it's the GOCM but bigger & cooler. Ideally it's created by planting a tree which then digs out a cavern underground, creating (glowing) capsules filled with a goo which are accessible by a narrow passage. These cells create creatures and nourish and heal those which sleep inside of them, offering a full rest within two hours and a full restore within a week. Function example: Create an Empty Warren, Warren spends 40 (or whatever) virtual currency on creating minions. The next turn, it spends 40-upkeep cost of existing minions on creating minions. The next turn it... Until its currency supply is fully occupied. It needs to be told what to make (to save effort).

[] Design a blueprint
-[] Circular Uptime Regulating Server Enclosing Suite (Orthanc, Amon Hen, Marble Reactor, All-Purpose Energy Tap): Self-Regulating Server Room

[] Create a Blueprint:
-[] Create a LEARNER compatible version of the Mechanogoblin.

[] Design a blueprint
-[] Digistruct device
--[] Digital Construction device - takes a digital design/blueprint/scan and builds it as a real physical object using nothing but energy. Works on living creatures just fine, memories at time of scan included.

[] Advance Understanding of a Field
-[] Space Manipulation

I'm helping with the Net Navi. Shall we make it explicit that we are adding operation capability?
Ah, must have not updated the tally.

I do not think it's necessary. Currently the ability to do Operations is secondary to how helpful it'd be for them to have greater skill, so if we don't get it quite yet oh well. I'm planning on making a huge hoard of espionage Navis, and do quite a bit of hacking. All your base are belong to us.

Also, making a super skill file is not a free action. Its an operation action.


Edit: Here's something that someone may want to work on
[] Design Blueprint
-[] CompuSmart
--[] Software design that allows for robots to make use of skill soft files, greatly expanding their capabilities allowing them to make far greater use of their built in tools. Combat drones with the strategical skills of the greatest soldier, infiltration bots with super spy skills to complement their sensor arrays and invisibility, and so on.

Me and @ConfusedPotato are helping With te vest command center.
It has three people on it So it is not lone wolf, only If Hermann and Lisa are secretly Master Vipers Jamiesons halucinations caused by LEARNER thinking He needs friends.

That tally was really out of date, fixed.

    --[X] This room wil cover the base it is place in with a layer of wunder-brass using the concepts used in the Dynacapsule and pandora orb (using less space then should and integratting something new), it wil also create hidden battery guns that pop up (out of Dynacapsule storage) and can open fire. These turrets are manned by NetNavi's. These turrets are armed with two Exotic particle cannons MK.2 and two Buster cannons each and can fire all at ones. These turrets are powered by a marble reactor. These turrets can switch to a mortar that fire super bombs, in these super bombs are two cannisters filled with airborn revival serum and Feliationizer, turning all in the blast radius into cat zombies. The Fortress room used pandora orb concepts to be able integrate any new defense mechanism at a moments notice.

Also, making a super skill file is not a free action. Its an operation action.

According to the Co-GM, it's free.

Creating a .nsm file is a free action, yes, I'll be handling those actions. It's basically an autosuceed, but naturally as a free action doesn't grant experience points.

So EVERYBODY should make an nsm. ideally, we would have an nsm at the max of each skill. AND 1 below max for each skill as follows.
R7: @Entropy Engineer or @ConfusedPotato
R6: @DarkKing98
O5: @trekbook (or @them8, but I have it covered)
O4: @Rotekian or @LuciDreamer
E5: @OneArmedYeti
E4: @Shadowhope or @Hazard (thanks!)
C5: @EternalStruggle
C4: @BBBence1111 or @D.D. Spectator

EDIT: I misread the rule, so I've crossed out the mistaken bits.
