We've been selling "Cloaking Suit" and "Cloaking Armor" for a while now. Don't recall whether they're compatible with Legionnaire or Centurion suits (and not even Revy's personal suit mention cloaking or stealth features).

Has the game master declared whether or not the enhancement super serum also solves the problems that are naturally present in a species beyond the DNA problems?
As for example the fact that the sensor in the human eye is upside down which decreases the number of visible colors, the resolution of the image and increases the transmission time from the eye to the brain.

Now that QEC is researched, how widespread are they being used in practice now?
Since they're currently bulky and expensive, they're obviously not built-in any suits or vehicles, not even the Hammerhead. But are they being used in our buildings, and more importantly, our ships?
Have we patented the QEC yet? Considering it's military importance, it'll have to be a secret SA-only patent like repulsors.
There are a lot of biological flaws shared by all mammals, let alone homonids, and we're not talking about redoing 100+ million years of evolution to fix them.

I doubt it. Peak human implies taking the best genetics that are already represented in the homo sapiens gene pool, maybe minor safe improvements, and combining them all into a comprehensive gene therapy package.

Things were quiet this quarter, no renewed Batarian offensive pushing back the Alliance Navy, no sudden fleet appearing behind Alliance lines again. The front line getting reinforced by Turian fleets for once. No major issues on your end for any of your holdings. Just contract after contract being completed and waves of cash flowing into your bank accounts. It was nice and soon next quarter you would begin the next major phase in your company's growth, you would buy your own planet. Not bad for a colony girl huh?
"Good Morning Mother."
"Welcome Back." Revy said with a fond smile at her child before her mind processed what she just said.
"Wait? Mother!?"
"Of course, you did create me after all and given me life. You know it is all semantics anyway how you were born." She said placing a hand on one of her hips and waving away with the other.
"You are a fully sentient AI then?" Revy said lower herself down so her head was level with Cortana's projection.
"Well if I am not then I can't tell. So I guess that means I am." Cortana said giving you a smug smile.
"Yep, I guess you are if you can snark at me." Revy said rolling her eyes at her daughter. "So no problems whatsoever with the new software?"
"Please, like you would dare to run the compile process if you were not totally sure about your programming, but to answer your question, no there is no issues and everything is running within expected parameters and all data connections are clear."
"Great! Glad to have you back online Cortana. You know what this means right?" Revy said with a wide grin and a flash of something in her eyes confusing the AI.
"What? There is nothing important slated for this time period in your schedule or company plans."
"We gotta introduce you to mom and dad!" Revy said excitedly.
"Wait wha-" Cortana failed to speak before Revy transferred her onto the new MKII and rocketed towards her family's home.
[X] Spend Time With Revy's Family
-[X] Playing games, watching movies, and just generally relaxing.
[X] Explore/Visit
-[X] Landing
During this quiet period you took advantage of the time to spend more of it with your family. You had been working hard for the past year and it was great to relax with them and be a family again. You introduced them to their granddaughter Cortana who they took to quite well and quite appreciated her snarky humor and wit with your mother commenting this was not how she was expecting to be a grandparent while her father was idly wondering how he was supposed to give the shovel talk to the computer Revy was working on. Jack meanwhile stared strangely at Cortana while her cat sniffed at her till she tossed a holographic ball to chase around which caused Jack to warm up to her quickly.
You decided to arrange a family trip where you all just spent a couple days exploring all the new places that sprung up around Landing. The whole place was vastly different compared to just a decade ago. The main reason of course being Paragon Industries, most of the immigrants were here because of your factories, labs, or running the businesses that sprung up to cater to all your employees. The former colony location had rapidly grew into a small city with its colonial roots still present in the way that much care was taken to design the new buildings to minimalize environmental destruction and to incorporate nature into their design. Every roof was covered in small gardens or patches of ivy. Every window had a small potted balcony with flowers while trees lined every driveway. Porous sidewalks were used everywhere allowing for the recycling of any rainwater that did not wash into the sewers.
There were a lot of restaurants and entertainment facilities in the city to cater to the large population with even a few alien friendly places. Sadly enough alien discrimination was a thing in the city due to the First Contact war, unfamiliarity, and the sheer rarity of seeing an alien. While you did hire aliens they were less than a percent of a percent of the planetary population making them a extremely rare sight for the common people. Still it did not detract from your family outing and you had a great time with them all and even managed to successfully convince Jack to not talk about Cortana to anyone outside the family with your mom and dad already aware about Cortana's illegal existence.
Your free time ended with a surprise party your family threw for you with all of your friends and coworkers invited. You talked shop with your fellow eggheads, you played invisible tag and laser tag, and invisible laser tag with Kasumi. You had a large war game with Misaki and everyone else using the ANI controlled mini mechs. You had a movie time showing everyone a 'blooper reel' of hilarious failed experiments from the various projects you did in the past which got plenty of laughs. You had cake and presents at the end with all kinds of strange or wacky gifts from everyone who tried to figure out what to get a girl who could buy entire worlds with her pocket change while laughing at the ideas they used in the gifts.
You wished this moment could last forever.
And then the Fire Alliance Nation attacked.
[X] Recruit some Drell and/or Hanar to assist with curing Kepral's Syndrome.
You put out a message to the Illuminate about working on a cure for the Drell's health issue and they were ecstatic to hear it. They quickly sent over a father and son pair who volunteered to assist with whatever you needed. The father's condition is terminal but the son is showing just the initial symptoms of the disease. The father is slated to only last another year.
[X] Advance Electronic Warfare VI [92.5/600] (Requires Programming Skill Rank B): Taking the existing electronic warfare VI and making it better in every way. Truly the motto of Paragon Industries. But overturning existing knowledge and technologies is practical a normal Tuesday for Revy.
Remembering your previous fight with the Batarian mech suit you thought about how it would have been nice if you could have hacked its system and disable it without destroying it. So you decided to work on your previous basic E-warfare VI to make that a reality.
Result: Progress
[X] Advance Research VI [600/600] (Requires Programming Skill Rank B): Better assistants mean more time to research. And more time to research means more and more technologies get turned upside the head in a faster timeframe. Who doesn't want a computer program telling them that they're wrong before they even start looking into a particular subbranch?
You made quick work in upgrading your previous Basic Research VI by simply reprogramming them from the ground up with your new programming language.
Result +15% bonus to research lab boost, new total lab boost modifier is x2
[X] Basic Combat Analysis VI [300/300]: Ever look at a battlefield and wonder what the hell is going on? Me neither, but that doesn't mean we can't write a program to answer that question anyways. Plus the ability to look at a situation and say, this maneuver was dumb is sure to be helpful.
As smart as you were there was only so much stuff you could pay attention to at one time, especially in combat. so you decided to make a VI that could pay attention for you, digest the information, and spit it back out for you all ready for you instantly learn what is going on. So you quickly made a basic VI loaded with all the war related materials you could find online and processed several thousand times in simulations to see what works and what does not to help prune their libraries to keep what is common, useful, and likely to happen. Now this is a pretty rough and basic VI that could only predict likely to happen military actions and would require multiple combat data points to make predictions but it was better than nothing.
Result: Grants boost to rolls of fights/battles that last multiple rounds with maximum boost of +10
[X] Advanced Construction VI [600/600] (Requires Programming Skill Rank B): Your construction VI has proven their worth several times over with the rate of construction increasing significantly with their introduction despite the grumblings of some of your employees jesting about robots stealing their jobs. You were sure however you could make them even better, allow them to work even faster, and build even bigger things without issue.
Your construction VI and drones were a huge success, now the next step is to make them even better, first you would improve on the programming to allow them to work even better and do even larger and complicated projects in greater numbers as well. Then you can make a drone body that they could use to their fullest effectiveness.
Result: Construction VI's upgraded now work more efficiently and effectively. Can now construct better Construction Drones for them to take advantage of.
Biotech:
[X] Human Converted Gene Treatments (Turian) [800/800] (Requires Biology Skill Rank B): You have done it and unlocked the secrets of gene modification. However, this is just the beginning. With the improved understanding, you can begin adjusting the existing treatments to work on other aliens. Such as the Asari, Salarians, Turians. etc. [Salarians Completed]
Mordin smiled in satisfaction as he sent the report on the completion of his latest project. The Turian Adapted Human Gene Treatments. Mordin was astonished at the sheer generosity of Shepard and Humanity as a whole. It has been less than two decades since Humanity's violent first contact with the Council and the Turians in particular. Now Humanity had contributed their own valuable and life changing gene treatments to both the Salarians and Turians for a pittance through the Sirta Foundation. This would basically undo most if not all of the negative impression the rest of Council space had about Humanity as a violent immature race. That was not even taking into account all the other medical aid provided by Human medical organizations like the newly introduced medigel which despite skirting pass some Council laws was considered much too useful to ban and was therefore allow.
Mordin smiled in satisfaction as his work would help pave the way to a more peaceful future.
Result: Turian Adapted Peak Human Gene Treatment Completed
Energy Weapons:
[X] Better Battery [800/800]: While a Arc reactor can be scaled down to fit a pistol now, it is just outright overkill and too expensive to do for each weapon in the long run. So simple answer is if power generation is too high, then simply make a power storage system to match it. Current batteries could never make your laser guns lethal, there was just not enough power in them. Compared to everything else you made how hard could it possibly be to make a battery that is just 1000 times better than a old car battery? You have the power of lemon lime flavored meta materials on your side!
Conrad worked his butt off to complete the project which actually meant he finished in half the time it was supposed to take while making up the rest of the time by sliding in lots of breaks in between work disguised as battery testing which was actually just him playing around with different battery prototypes with your laserguns on various materials including steak. Now at least you can mass produce batteries which held enough charge to make backpack batteries obsolete and allow your laser guns to pack a serious punch and plenty of shots. Huh, you just invalidated all personal kinetic shields....whoops?
Result: Laser weapons are now combat viable. Laser rifles and pistols can now be produced. Following projects are unlocked: Heavy Energy Weapons, Sniper Energy Weapons, Ship Energy Main Gun.
Mass Accelerator Weapons:
[X] 500m MAC [800/800]: Stepping up to the next size of mass accelerator cannon will require solving many of the same problems all over again. However the end result will be a weapon that delivers terajoules of kinetic hurt.
Now a pretty much standard procedure for every 'old' tech Shatom barely even needed your help to complete the 'reboot' of the old 500m MAC gun that was used for cruiser sized Alliance ships. Switching out inferior materials with better metamaterials with the appropriate properties, upgrading the software, adjusting the physical configuration to better take advantage of the new physical materials, etc etc. In the end you had a new main gun that vastly outperformed the old version in every way. As usual~
Result: Cruiser MACs have greatly increased power, reliability, heat management, and range.
Gaver Dor's Projects:
[X] Stasis Plate [800/1600] (Requires Mass Effect Skill Rank B): Stasis makes the effected object almost invulnerable if mostly immobile. So apply it to armor plating and bam! Awesome armor that's good against anything, including lasers. Down side is the effected plate can't move fast due to the speed of light so no FTL or, hell, probably no cruising either, and shields of any sort can't be used while its on, barrier interference principle and all that. It'll also burn power like nobodies business, which is why no one ever considered trying this before. Small price to pay for an incredible defense. Oh and not actual invulnerability, just really hard to hurt. (Counts as Mass Effect/Dark Energy)
Progress on making things temporarily invulnerable is going, only 6 workplace accidents so far last month. PROGRESS!
Result: PROGRESS!
Minor Projects:
[X] Thermal Shields for power armor (re-entry shroud) [200]: It's been a while since an N7 asked if the Iron Man suit could reenter an atmosphere on its own power. Well, it was a good question, and adding that functionality to your suits would make them more versatile albeit more expensive.
One of the main issues all infantry faced is getting shot down on the way down to the battlefield from space. A problem even your suits had to face either in a transport ship/shuttle, or from having to slow down upon entry into the atmosphere. Now you have solved the problem in the form of thermal shields, specially designed armored shrouds that could be produced by your power armor suit's omnitool with sufficient time and omnigel. They would be able to now deploy at high speeds from orbit without needing to slow down and after the fight regain the ability to do so again on their own.
Result: All power armors produced can now perform rapid atmospheric re-entry.
ParSec (Andrew Nicolas):
Status:
ParSec Intelligence
[X] Investigate
-[X] The Batarians in preparation for the Alliance's counterattack.
Your Intelligence division has managed to acquire no new information regarding the Batarians, only local rumors about the war as it seemed the Batarians were trying to clamp down or reduce the scale of the recent losses they have been sustaining.
Results: Nothing
ParSec Deployment 2175-Q2:
Systems Alliance Contract: As we are a licensed SA PMC they can call us in to serve during times of war. Our Pyndas are definitely going. The SA would also welcome any other forces though. Sending some of our commanders along might be helpful. Obviously they are going into combat and considering the quality of what we have to offer are going to be used a lot. The SA has agreed to pay a 20% profit on costs.
[X] Recruit
-[X] Soldiers for the new Legionaries and Pilots for the new QTTs.
In preparation for the imminent counter attack you once again began hiring en mass. This time lack of skill was not going to be an issue nor would lack of physical fitness with the combination of your plug and play skill implants and peak humanity gene treatment that had already spread far throughout Humanity. The only real qualification required was a clean background check, loyalty test, and intelligence test. Everything else would be resolved through several months of dedicated bootcamp training to build up their permanent muscle memories, muscles, and shoring up any deficiencies left over. Thousands of personnel were hired, trained, and deployed across your holdings to help supplement your dedicated guard forces while waiting for their first mission orders. When the order comes from the Alliance brass your forces would show why your work was best.
Result: All equipment are now being utilized and are almost the equivalent to a veteran in terms of combat skills.
Colony Guarding: Pirates and slavers have been using the war as an opportunity to raid many of the SA's colonies. We could do a lot of good having our ground forces act as colony guards. They'll almost certainly see combat. However I expect that once raiders find out that our forces are there that they won't want to hit the same spot a second time. Medium risk, medium profit. We'll probably scattered over a few planets so we might be relying on lower ranked commanders.
[X] Guard Colonies (High Risk, Medium Profit)
-[X] All Free Forces 1.50 billion/quarter
Due to the successes of the Alliance Navy attacks on the colony worlds have dropped significantly. Any attacks occuring on worlds where your forces were not deployed.
Result: Quiet time, easy money.

Down side is the effected plate can't move fast due to the speed of light so no FTL or, hell, probably no cruising either, and shields of any sort can't be used while its on, barrier interference principle and all that. It'll also burn power like nobodies business, which is why no one ever considered trying this before. Small price to pay for an incredible defense. Oh and not actual invulnerability, just really hard to hurt. (Counts as Mass Effect/Dark Energy)
Progress on making things temporarily invulnerable is going, only 6 workplace accidents so far last month. PROGRESS!
Result: PROGRESS!
Minor Projects:
[X] Thermal Shields for power armor (re-entry shroud) [200]: It's been a while since an N7 asked if the Iron Man suit could reenter an atmosphere on its own power. Well, it was a good question, and adding that functionality to your suits would make them more versatile albeit more expensive.
One of the main issues all infantry faced is getting shot down on the way down to the battlefield from space. A problem even your suits had to face either in a transport ship/shuttle, or from having to slow down upon entry into the atmosphere. Now you have solved the problem in the form of thermal shields, specially designed armored shrouds that could be produced by your power armor suit's omnitool with sufficient time and omnigel. They would be able to now deploy at high speeds from orbit without needing to slow down and after the fight regain the ability to do so again on their own.
Result: All power armors produced can now perform rapid atmospheric re-entry.

ParSec Intelligence
[X] Investigate
-[X] The Batarians in preparation for the Alliance's counterattack.
54
Your Intelligence division has managed to acquire no new information regarding the Batarians, only local rumors about the war as it seemed the Batarians were trying to clamp down or reduce the scale of the recent losses they have been sustaining.
Results: Nothing
ParSec Deployment 2175-Q2:
Systems Alliance Contract: As we are a licensed SA PMC they can call us in to serve during times of war. Our Pyndas are definitely going. The SA would also welcome any other forces though. Sending some of our commanders along might be helpful. Obviously they are going into combat and considering the quality of what we have to offer are going to be used a lot. The SA has agreed to pay a 20% profit on costs.
[X] Recruit
-[X] Soldiers for the new Legionaries and Pilots for the new QTTs.
In preparation for the imminent counter attack you once again began hiring en mass. This time lack of skill was not going to be an issue nor would lack of physical fitness with the combination of your plug and play skill implants and peak humanity gene treatment that had already spread far throughout Humanity. The only real qualification required was a clean background check, loyalty test, and intelligence test. Everything else would be resolved through several months of dedicated bootcamp training to build up their permanent muscle memories, muscles, and shoring up any deficiencies left over. Thousands of personnel were hired, trained, and deployed across your holdings to help supplement your dedicated guard forces while waiting for their first mission orders. When the order comes from the Alliance brass your forces would show why your work was best.
Result: All equipment are now being utilized and are almost the equivalent to a veteran in terms of combat skills.
Colony Guarding: Pirates and slavers have been using the war as an opportunity to raid many of the SA's colonies. We could do a lot of good having our ground forces act as colony guards. They'll almost certainly see combat. However I expect that once raiders find out that our forces are there that they won't want to hit the same spot a second time. Medium risk, medium profit. We'll probably scattered over a few planets so we might be relying on lower ranked commanders.
[X] Guard Colonies (High Risk, Medium Profit)
-[X] All Free Forces 1.50 billion/quarter
103
Due to the successes of the Alliance Navy attacks on the colony worlds have dropped significantly. Any attacks occuring on worlds where your forces were not deployed.
Result: Quiet time, easy money.

One minor vote
Will Revy personally take to the field?
[ ] Yes
[ ] No But actually Yes?
Is this the general attitude of the Council races on Humanity? I find this grating, tbh. Thankfully, we are very forgiving. In most cases.
...Wait, the Alliance attacked? not the Batarians? Did we accidentally spook them with our laser weapons and building 250 Hammerheads?

The enemy would probably swarm us in an attempt to kill us if we go out in the field. Not to mention the reapers and their minions like the collectors. We're already doing our part.
The qm has said in the past we came uncomfortably close to dying and best to avoid a repeat.

It was a Avatar reference, and was talking about the Alliance counter attack against the Batarians
general attitude of a people told what they know through approved channels and a war as our first contact with a relay opening. How many of us still hold onto stereotypes started by what our forefathers told us and reinforced by media? They have Turian vets who think they are in the right and Council media supporting them. Of course all the Humanitarian efforts and fighting the Batarians help race image a lot.

Dammit I see what you did there. No means no!
[X] No
It would be utterly ridiculous to fight directly at this point, unless everything else was already tied up and the situation is totally FUBAR.

The way this was worded, it sounds like the rest of the galaxy thinks that the humans attacked first. Like, the Turian sent a diplomatic ship or something, and the humans shot it down. And now you're telling me it's all the fault of Turian Boomers.

No funny business. Revy fighting is plainly stupid. She's a strategic asset that shouldn't be put in any form of danger.

It's risky but i figure thats it'd definitely help with the political side of things and make more ally's in the SA military if we do well enough.
Makes it less likely some of the stupider politicians or members of the Council can muster up enough support to clamp down on our business/R&D or attempt to take it over once the demand for war material dies down.
We're already doing well enough thanks to the Gene treatments but it would definitely help counter the reputation hit we must be getting behind the scenes in the SA for making the Salarian/Turian gene treatments. As going by our visit to Landing it's pretty clear that there's a not entirely unreasonable amount of Xenophobia still prevalent in the Systems Alliance general population thanks to the first contact war thats now being fueled further by the conflict with the Batarians.

In regards to the rest of the galaxy having a large number of people with the view of humanity being violent and immature I assumed that a large part of it is that they many feel that humans in general have overeacted to the First Contact War. Despite it being a war what people tend to forget is that only around 3-400 people actually died during the whole thing. That's the main reason the Turian's just see it as an incident.
Yeah to humanity it might have seen like a big deal due to it being the very first instance of contact with another race. To everyone else though it might as well have been the equivalent of a border incident where less than a dozen people actually died. From many perspectives it could be that many view the racism and aggressiveness from humanity over such a minor thing as why they are seen as immature and violent.

he meant the plug and play implants, which you have not decided whether or not to allow outside of PI and Parsec yet.
