Ironically, the Comprehensive Risk Assessment Model couldn't assess the risk of stripping open walls to insert new - and apparently unprotected wiring -, of CRAMming donuts into the various orifices of the core hardware nor, indeed, of having a litter of kittens in a conveniently sized but noisy cubby. Thankfully for the base, fire alarms and water sprinklers were installed first. Regrettably, this saved neither CRAM nor the cat minion inside it from a painful, fiery death.
Dear Felicia,
First of all, you have my sincere condolences. That was a horrid way to go.
Secondly, please keep your cats away from my experiments. It's the second time already.
Sincerely,
Gary Arneson
One (1) member of the multitude that is the Unusual Stray Cat Colony fallen. All research progress lost, some hardware progress retained (reduced difficulty for implementation).
Um, what? I thought 5 were made along with the Research Navis.
*Goes back to look at the vote*
Oh, he changed the Espionage ones into Fire Bots at some point.
Anyways, questions. Is it a free action to upgrade to the latest Pandora Orb? If so, since it doubles effectiveness, does my personal Net Navi become twice as smart?
Is implanting Learner and Skillsoft a free action?
Also, does the Pandora Orb make us stretchier than usual? Cause otherwise things gotta be rather conveniently sized and shaped to be extracted the new way.
141 Spider Bot - small robotic
1 Norm - medium robotic
3 Mettools - small robotic
1 Cat Friends - medium biological
1 Unusual Stray Cat Colony - large biological due to numbers
1 Stealthy Combat Drones - medium robotic
30 Motobug - medium robotic
1 The simple VI: Operations - small digital
1 Dryad - medium biological, also takes double housing
3 Buzzkill - medium robotic
1 Waddle dee - small biological
6 Net Navi - medium digital
1 Mechanogoblins - small biological, small robotic
Housings that are free
0 Purely Robotic housings
48 Robotic/Digital housings
-5.5 Biological housings
Now that I got my robotic hoard, time to put it to work making more room for a bigger robotic hoard. @I just write Can we expand a base interdimensionally and still have it benefit from Robotic Hub and what not, since it's effectively right next door?
And a question you never answered, does the Robotic Hub bonus stack with more hubs?
WHELP
DeDeDe and Waldo are dead. I would have thought I'd be more upset, but I am not.
I am not as attached to DeDeDe as Sir.Percival from @I just write other quest, the restless dead.
I think my problem with dedede now was that I attached myself to much to a gimmick which made me less flexable. Although there were thoughs in my head of other gimmick characters, I won't. I already know what I want to do as character.
Almost tempted to play Joe now, but nah going to play someone else but still robotic.
Also poor Felicia, DeDeDe was a friend aswel as the cat, she lost two friends in one week, geez.
I mean I am glad I could hire people but not really that impressive of a last act.
If people bother to find his wil, DeDeDe left the M3 and his overdesigned bed to Felicia and left the care of the only Waddle dee to Ophelia Moor. He also left some mysterious keys to Master Viper Jamieson with a note saying that the 'Brutus protocols' where his now.
I think I am going to make my new character later. Stil thinking about this new characters first invention(s).
I vote yay, this mechincal Dragon seems like a charming creature. Yeah Maybe it wil do horrible things to material realm, he'd here EVENTUALY best to give him a good impression. That and I want to befriend large robo Dragon dream Dragon man, He seems charming.

So, the deal Awakened Madness proposed is... mad enough for us. But let's maybe think of all the consequences it could bring:
+We get some advanced knowledge on Dream Creatures.
+We (maybe) get an unpredictable ally.
-Masquerade goes bye bye- massive Mad Mechanic Dragon is too much for public to take.
-We'll unleash... OH GOD.
OH DEAR EMPEROR.
FUCKING NECRONS, THAT'S WHAT. AND THE WORST ONE ON TOP OF THAT.
...
[X] Accept the Awakened Madness's offer
Eh, it'll be more interesting that way. A good challenge. It's about time I integrated a Pandora Orb or something.
I didn't like organic life that much anyway.

Through my limited knowledge of 40K I can say I don't know how bad that is but Necrons are kinda bad.
ON my more extensive knowledge of dragons I can say the thing looks fucking rad and I don't care about the masquarade or how it is evil. That is for Illuminatie to care about. I mean the police hired a werewolf for cyring out loud.
I want this thing our fucking side.
I want to do science with this thing.
I want to ride this thing into fucking battle.
I am probally not going to get everything from my list.

Probably gonna change the bunker one if I get told I can build things dimensionally next door.
Other people can use the Skilled Labor if they have stuff they want them to do. This vote is mostly making sure they are doing something productive

We should have plenty of room for these after this turn since each room only costs 20 DC.

I'm assuming all these are free action, will fix if I Just Write responds otherwise.

I didn't think our Mad Dragon was that big, easily hidden in one of our many bases which are growing in size. And what makes you think this dream creature has anything to do with necrons?

It's a massive mechanical dragon... with a penchant for destruction... which is slumberi... okay those are not the same...
You gotta admit though- it'll be pretty bad to have to face mechanical space undead, especially when it's a dragon.
Not that it will happen... though who knows what that dragon wants with our realm...
Ah who am I kidding I want to see our new colleague in action.
I wonder if he'll bring any minions with him, and what housing would they require.
Of course we'll need to convince him to join our merry band, but surely we can all pile up on the

Depends. Is he an organic creature that looks mechanical, a fully mechinical creature or a cyborg dragon.
In which case it is biological, mechincal or both respectivly.
I guess.

@I just write, will CRAM be capable of... giving advice to the lone trainers? Or does it only extend to Operations/Research?
[]Comprehensive Risk Assessment Model
-[]Basing off CRM, CRAM thoroughly analyzes any and all previous failed experiments and operations, identifying prevalent accidents and their causes. Utilizing this knowledge, it tries to identify any similar situations within current actions. Upon finding such a situation, it will proceed to warn the scientist in question, and offer possible counter-measures.
-[]When recognizing an imminent catastrophe, will immediately call for help through S.K.Y.net and other available channels, as well take control of the local facilities, in order to minimize damage.
-[]It will give special attention to any accidents involving cats.
