PI Corporate Colors
[X] Blue on White
Paragon all the way!
The Mordin Solus plan:
[X] Hire him
Mordin could be a great Research Hero and while keeping him close increases the risk of data leaks it also increases the chance of gaining his loyalty. That and a good review from him to the STG will likely go to their government making approval from the Salarian Councilor on things like AI more likely. Might even get us contracts from them.
However I don't think the Salarian/Krogan thing will end well or even just tolerably bad. I left out the stipends and exchange programs because both are done as a method to encourage graduates to come work for a company and right now we don't want any, non-research Heros, working for our R&D program.
Litinana deal: (Because negotiations are complicated fell free to discuss things with the GM)
Offer
[X] Advanced Research VI
For
[X] Developing something (RP/turn)
Giving the Tactical VI away is probably a bad idea since while they are a government and hence likely not counted as "civilian" the Alliance did want us to keep a close eye on that. Advanced Research VI will cut back on our research advantage but we're already making tons of money and want the galaxy in general to be better teched so that isn't really a problem.
Improved Intelligence Algorithms however are a big deal:
Let's think about that for a second. It makes Security and Resaerch VI twice as effective which is a massive jump. It also makes turning almost anything into an automated drone easy. For people who use bioweapons as their primary method of offense and defense automated drones would be a big deal. Imagine ships programmed to suicide run into a planet to disperse a bioweapon across it. Or even just the advances to missile guidance making them more likely to get past the PDLs.
Hence why I offered Research assistance for Research assistance .
Tell the SA Navy of any of your Tech Plans?
[X] Sure (what?)
--[X] Communications, long range and impossible to intercept
--[X] Logistics, i.e. working on how long the ships can serve without entering port
--[X] Stealth
[X] Ask them what they want in terms of qualitative developments. What advantages would they desire most? What is the biggest game changer?
These are probably the biggest game changers. Long range lasers are a game changer but these are the really big things.
Jelica Eveliina: Company/+4, Biotic Specialist (+1 to Biotic units), Mobility Master (+2 to highly mobile units)
[X] Hire her
I am slightly suspicious of her but she's not in a particularly dangerous place.
Should we start employing aliens on a more general level?
[X] Yes
--[x] Absolutely bring in non-humans to the marketing, legal, and HR departments. We are already selling products in Citadel space, and will increase that exposure as manufacturing capabilities increase, so we need non-human expertise in those areas already. Expand the applicant pool for ParSec to include Citadel races as well, but have HR be extra careful with background checks here.
--[x] For now, do not hire non-humans in R&D or on-site security. We don't need the political headaches this will cause with anti-alien factions just yet.
I'm not entirely sold on having them in the same complex as our R&D stuff but hopefully our security should be enough to keep any spies from sneaking something into our labs or onto our researchers.
Interested?
[X] Total Ownership CCI
We don't have the cash for DSB, yet, and total ownership is easier and simpler all around.
Do you wish to take any of these jobs? (You have 25 teams and a Tiger)
[X] Keep forces at home for training/other jobs (How many)
-[X] All teams. Get them familiar with working together, and working with our technology.
I'm really tempted to send a team to Anhur but we don't quite have all the gear I'd want to send them with yet. If the contract is still open next quarter or even partway into this quarter I'll definitely go for it.
