Shepard Quest Mk VII, Age of Revy (ME/MCU)

Reader mode
I think we should probably let the SA diplomatic corps know we're working on Peak Human [Turian variant] treatments right now so they a) know that's in the pipe and b) can make what political hay they can from it. I'm perfectly content to let them say "and we asked our super-genius Shepard to whip up something for our good Turian friends" at the negotiating table or something.

Similarly, if we wanted to do something about Kepral Syndrome for the Drell, maybe mentioning it to the Hanar & Drell now so we can start it whenever we have free time? I know it's not on our front-plate priorities right now, but kinda like the AI license I'd like the option to push that button whenever wanted to.

Also, if we wanted to make Legionary suits (or at least another arc-reactor powered armor design) for another race would we need to do another research project, or could we whip something appropriate up in thread and say "this is the Cuddle-fish Cuttlefish armor and we're selling it to the Hanar"? Because we know what they want in armor and I'm pretty sure we could provide it too. (Also, what's the Illuminated Primacy's stance on the negotiations? Is that a thread we could tug?)

Looking at the vote it seems like Salarians are going to be the first to get the Peak treatment. Exactly how to spread it effectively is probably something we would need an expert on the local politics for, which Mordin Solus probably is. Licensing it to the goverment or licensing it to the Post-Scarcity society could work. Don't really know what sort of approach the Salarians would take to something like this, though I would hope that something that could dramatically increase their lifespan would be spread widely. Having it developed by Mordin Solus hopefully gets it past it being a product from a human company, though for other species telling them that the guy behind the Genophage is making it might not be reassuring. Not sure how publicly known that is, but I figure the leaders of the Citadel species might have figured it out if they weren't told.

There was a bit back in 2174-Q2 that explains that the Hanar apparently view Revy as a religious figure, so I figure if we ask them for experts they would ask "how many"
--[X] Propose up to 180 ships per year starting 2175-Q1 until their target number has been reached.

Your ego always knew it would happen; your ego just wondered what would cause it. Yes, finally one of your major goals in life has been achieved! You're a religious figure! You and Liara. Apparently the Hanar think you're some sort of combination of saint and prophet. There's still some theological debate going around but the majority agree.

That's the explanation you get when the Hanar call you Torch-Bearer anyway.

Of course that makes negotiations rather easy. Actually the Hanar have suggested that they lease you a shipyard or two so that you can start selling them those ships sooner. However, such negotiations may take a bit you'll probably have actionable details next quarter.

We still got a couple of biotech projects to get through though, and I don't think the Hanar have that much influence on the Citadel seeing as they aren't on the council afaik. Figure they are already supporting the position of "more ships" anyway since they are in the middle of a major military buildup and want to be ready for the Reapers.

Another thing was the data from the Batarian ship which we were given to decode. Did I just miss us doing that, was it forgotten or has it not been a priority? Sorta seems like the kind of thing you want done post haste.
EDIT: Found it, it's back in "Minor details+interludes" back after the Batarian attack on Mindoir in 2174 Q2 and wasn't in the research list at the start of this thread, so unless it got removed intentionally it seems to have been forgotten.
-[X] Divert our VI development company to hack what remains of the Sol invasion fleet's computers, and whatever other resources it takes (even RP from next quarter if necessary) to find out how the hell the Batarians managed to bypass Arcturus and invade Sol. This is a huge priority!
The Hegemony Fleet at Sol barely engaged the SA fleet before pulling out. None of the few ships that died there had salvageable computers. Many of the ships destroyed at Arcturus died to direct spinal shots from the three SA dreadnoughts there fresh from being refitted with new equipment. The SA commanders focused on making sure their targets were very dead, not wanting to risk the seat of the SA's government. However, one frigate that was mission killed by GARDIAN laser fire from a frigate wolf-pack has intact systems.

After attempting to access it on their own the SA intelligence service accepts your aid. The information has incredibly strong encryption which denies all of the common shortcuts to decrypt. It may devolve to pure brute force at this rate. Or maybe later spy work my reveal the key.

Research Project:
Hegemony Cryptography 200 (PI) + 50 (SA Intellegence) = 250/?

Also has the vote closed? Thought it were supposed to close on Sunday, but I haven't seen any announcements about it.

Note this specifici line to that quote:

It's probably likely that for this quest we can't just do anymore due to not having enough data. That said odds are more than likely that the SA are having their intelligence agencies working on that the entire time.

Hrm. I'd prefer if the world we were buying were either in the outskirts of the Alliance or in unclaimed space - the main benefit I see in having our own world is independence and lack of oversight - but meh.

To be fair if we look at the tally I posted PIRA received 16 votes, PIA received 13 votes, ST received 14 votes, and PSD 13 votes. So until now people were voting across all four categories. It is just that the tally shows things are pretty solidly locked in three (11/16, 11/13, and 13/13) with ST being the only category remaining where the vote is close enough to change.

So it would be more accurate to say that people are only voting about dating (or not) Liara because it is the only undecided vote not because it is the only important vote.

yea true and im honestly just what the best word for this 'salty' at the concept of 6 people only voting 1 thing that can be voted on and 5 of which are Liara votes. but yea l see you point it's the only real contested vote.

It is just that the tally shows things are pretty solidly locked in three (11/16, 11/13, and 13/13) with ST being the only category remaining where the vote is close enough to change.

So it would be more accurate to say that people are only voting about dating (or not) Liara because it is the only undecided vote not because it is the only important vote.

i only voted on it because the tech research was what i like

if some one post the exact same option but remove Liara, i would still choose it if i seen it first
 
It seems to me that we could take Revy's contribution to QEC and Heavy Cruisers this turn and put it towards something like the encryption project or roll the dice on a Prothean decoding option, as those researches don't complete this turn anyway (but likely can/would next turn, arguably without her involvement) while I presume most any research getting done this turn is appreciated. (Also, I'm confused why we're going for Peak Salarian when Peak Turian is more likley to do us favors in the long run, developed first-off?)
 
l think Peak Salarian is simple one to answer our head researcher is a salarian so we would get him happy. there might be other reasons but thats the main one for me
 
Also important to remember is that treatments due drastically extend the lifespans of recipients. To give a canon example of how far medicine can extend life spans by the time of the first game the human life span went from the average being around something like 75 years to 150. Another example is Miranda who had treatments at birth had a life span half as long as that. The main reason to give it to Salarians is that it would have the most impact due to their very short life spans that would be incredibly noticeable.

Well one benefit is that Mordin will (hopefully) get Peak Salarian treatment. Mordin was in his (probably late) thirties in 2185 so since its 2175 he should be in his (probably late) twenties or the Salarian equvilant of middle aged. While it won't extend his life on its own Peak Salarian will probably help stave off the symptoms of aging; improving his quality of life.

Sadly it explicitly won't provide much of an improvement there:

edit: just so it is clear, the converted human gene treatments help get rid of diseases and helps people reach natural peak and grow slightly beyond it.

So won't magically give salarians longer lifespan, well not much at least. That would be the anti aging research

So we'll likely see more Salarians living to 40+ rather then dying early due health complications but not see Salarians making it to say 50+.
 
Something to consider is that after this we may want to switch Revy to the treatments for the Turians and then Asari while Mordin works on the Eternal Youth project since he has the required A rank in biology to do that.
 
So next turn are we having Shepard work on Plug & Play Skills, or picking up slack from Mordin on the Peak [Species] treatments while he does Eternal Youth? I imagine she could do both, but I get the feeling that's not the thread's preference.

Also for the PI world, I sorta want to slow boat a search for a system that would be a great place to build a whole civilization if it only had a) a garden world and b) had a Relay. Then we build not just a garden world, but a Gaia world (in Stellaris terminology) and have it be one of the first places we start building the second relay network.

Alternately, make two worlds in the Goldilocks zone; one that's fit for most species, then another that's for dextro-species like the Turians. Maybe invest in something like a city planning VI? I imagine every mayor needs a Jarvis, right?

My preference for Research (barring new unlocks changing things up) would be:
  • Conrad (300RP + 300*0.85 = 555) + Lab III (277.5) = Construction Drones [0/800 -> 832.5/800]
  • Gaven Dor (150RP + 150*0.85 = 277.5) + Lab III (277.5) + Revy (71.5) = Quantum Entanglement Communications [973.5/1600 -> 1600/1600]
  • Mordin (300 + 300*0.85 = 555) + Lab II (185) + Litinana Deal(50) + Revy (10) = Human Converted Gene Treatments (Turians) [0/800 -> 800/800]
  • Shatom (150 + 150*0.85 = 277.5) + Lab III (277.5) + Revy (45) = Heavy Cruisers [600/1200 -> 1200/1200]
  • Hwan (150 + 150*0.85 = 277.5) + Lab I (92.5) + Lab I (92.5) = 500m MAC [0/800 -> 462.5/800]
  • Revy (400) = Basic Construction VI [0/400 -> 400/400]
  • Revy (400) = Basic Combat Analysis VI [0/400 -> 400/400]
  • Revy (522.5) + Lab III (277.5) = Swarm Networking [0/800 -> 800/800]
  • Revy (400) = Basic Diplomacy/Legal Assistance VI [0/400 -> 400/400]
  • Revy (50) = Prothean Data [0/50 -> 50/50]
Gaven Dor (for RP efficiency) and Shatom are just finishing off existing projects while Mordin continues the meta-project of converting Peak Human.

I put Hwan on 500m MACs because we don't actually have large enough guns to put on our Light Cruisers (at least as spinal weaponry) let alone our Heavy Cruisers.

Conrad was a tough one since he produces so much RP it is hard to find a good project for him. Fortunately Construction Drones are about right at 800RP and fit with the theme I've got going here with Revy's work.

We've done a lot of construction so far and we're going to do more then ever going forwards. It has been made quite clear that CCI is struggling to keep up so Construction VIs and Construction Drones to help them out should pay good dividends.

Right now ParSec makes heavy use of Combat Drones to help balance our low manpower, something the Alliance military also does for the same reasons. Combat Analysis VIs should (hopefully) improve their performance as well as aiding the command staff in making the right calls.

Swarm Networking improves the performance of any swarm which pulls double duty of improving our (and the Alliance's) combat drones and the new Construction Drones we'd be getting.

Finally I grabbed Basic Diplomacy/Legal Assistance VI because I had 450pts left and we pretty clearly need the assistance. The last 50 was obviously spent on Prothean Data because such little excess RP isn't worth it on an actual project so why not roll the dice?
