780.M42 - Five Second Incident
New
HeroCooky
Unverified Monstergirl
With the infiltration of Voxx Primus continuing, even after a setback that had caused much of the upper leadership dedicated toward the completion to pivot on their approach to the same, one occurrence happened that provided both a mystery and danger to the entire mission.
The "Five Second Incident," as the infiltration experts have begun to call it, occurred after a splicer team was charged with finding out more about the Hallowed Cogitation of Creation. Roughly three hours after starting their attempt to slice into the Voxxian Ringyards Noosphere to obtain more information, a message was sent to the team on a secured internal line with the message "You have five seconds to run." Not knowing who or what had sent this message, the team immediately donned their helmets to seal themselves against the vacuum without delay. This action saved their lives as the entire module they were stationed within was vented into the vacuum of the void.
Our experts are still tallying the casualties of that action, but they are likely to exceed 130,000 people. The reason why something like that happened was swiftly revealed when the splicer team barely managed to avoid detection by void-rated skitarii forces converging upon their previous location. Harsh searches soon happened in nearby sectors for over a month before ceasing altogether.
Whatever is on the Hallowed Cogitation of Creation, the Mechanicum does not want anyone to find out.

[] [General] Propaganda For The Foreign Masses (1/3)
With the Glimmering Federation struggling to digest its recent mass acquisition of systems and populations, some have raised the possibility of using the Federation's more diplomatic abilities and capabilities to subvert, convert, and then integrate new systems without causing mass casualties or widespread destruction. A Propaganda office outfitted with ships, Choirs, materials, factories, and a mandate to do just that should bring foreign systems into our sphere of influence and then the Federation as a whole. It will be pricy, though.
(Gain: Allows you to slowly convert one [1] random system at a time to the Glimmering Federation without Action cost.)
[] [General] Free Movement and Friendship Declaration
Due to the Glimmering Federations' patronage of the Ashan Families, inconsistent as it was overwhelming in the industrial and economic sectors, they proposed opening the border between the citizens of both nations to seek employment and opportunity (with some limiting factors and clauses, security concerns still apply after all), alongside a Friendship Declaration between the two governments.
(Gain: Ashan Families like you more.)
[] Trigger The Voxx Revolution
May there be peace amongst the stars.
(Gain: Sub-Turn planning the Free Duchy War.)
[] [Military] Create A [Blazing Sun - 4x War-Packs] or 6x SAGs - [System/s] - [Weight: Light/Medium/Heavy] - [Type: Infantry/Mechanized/Tanks/Augmetic Legion] - [Classification: Sabotage/Assault/Engineering/Demolition/Ogryn/Kil'drabi]
Sabotage Units will focus on raiding and disrupting the enemy with lighting raids and plundering logistics; Assault Units will punch through the enemy in weak points and sow confusion with overwhelming firepower; Engineering Units will focus on creating fortifications and using turrets, mines, and barricades; Demolition Units will be comprised out of heavy weaponry squads with plenty of explosives, from mines to rockets; and Ogryn Units will be Ogryns armored in heavy metals and armed with shields and Beatin' Sticks led by soldiers with spiffy hats that will not be disobeyed. Kil'drabi Units can go into temperature enviroments Humans would require special equipment with ease. Infantry Units consist mainly of boots on the ground, while Mechanized Units are equipped with vehicles that increase mobility and durability at the cost of logistics and all-terrain capability, with Tanks allowing a myriad of armored spearheads or operations to proceed, and an Augmetic Legion consists of cybernetically enhanced humans, equipped with high-end implants and prosthetics that set them far above the human baseline, allowing for far more dangerous deployments. Light Units are better for low-logistic scenarios, while Medium Units rely more on regular shipments and strike a good balance between supply consumption and effectiveness. Heavy Units rely on solid logistics to continue working while offering an equal force concentration in return. A War-Pack comprises 15 Karnivores grouped in Packs of 3 Knights each, alongside the infrastructure/logistics to support and rebuild their Knights.
(Gain: Four War-Packs or Six SAGs. These contain [Four Units] chosen from the above choices. Tanks require no Classification.)
[] [Military] [Construct/Refit] A Fleet - [42 Fleet Points] - [12 FP Banked]
Ships are produced at these rates: Scouts at 1 FP, Destroyers at 2 FP, Light Freighters at 3 FP, Frigates at 4 FP, Light Cruisers at 8 FP, Heavy Cruisers at 18 FP, and Heavy Freighters at 25 FP.
(Gain: Chosen Fleet.)
[] [Military] Fill Out Sector Battle Group
-[] Minotaur (0/3.5)
-[] Leviathan (0/3.5)
-[] Basilisk (0/3.5)
-[] Hydralisk (0/3.5)
-[] Necrolisk (0/3.5)
A Sector Battle Group consists of 4 Heavy Cruisers, 8 Carriers, 6 Light Cruisers, 8 Heavy Frigates, and 4 Corvettes. Building them in bulk is cheaper than in parcel, and once we have them all filled, we can think about constructing new ones!
(Information: All Action Costs must be paid to receive the ships.
Gain: Filled out SBG.)
[ ] [Military] Design New Voidship Classes - [Available: Destroyer (1 DP), Frigate (2 DP), Light Cruiser/Freighter (4 DP), Heavy Cruiser/Freighter (8 DP)] - [10 DP]
From what we can tell, thanks to our history, what information we, the Kil'drabi, Yeeni, and the archives of our planets tell us, the difference between a prosperous interstellar polity and one naught but ash is the strength of their navy. At the moment, we have the beginning of a proud Void Fleet, yet purely defending against our enemies is a great way to get ground down into dust over time; we need to be able to bring the fight to them.
(Information: Ship Classes requiring more DP than you possess take more than one Action to design.
Gain: Newly designed and built Ship Class/es.)
[] [Military] Begin Military Operations (Assign SAG/s) (Choose Location/s) (Designate Objective/s)

-[] Scout Fleet Alpha - [3x Pyxis-Class Auto Construct]
(5x Circinus-Class Scout Sloop, 19x Pyxis-Class High-Grade Scout Sloop, 1x Spirit of Discovery Scout-Class Light Cruiser)
There is war to be had and battle to be made. Send troops to resolve issues, squash opposition to the Star Child and Humanity and all Their Protectorates, and send ships to scout neighboring systems to understand what is happening there.
(Gain: Military dispatched to put down opposition violently. Scouts are sent to look at other systems.
Scouting Range: ~10 Systems from Claimed Systems. Scouting Efficiency: 45% Adjacent Systems, 25% Three+ Systems, 10% Five+ Systems.
Note: For use outside your territory or in support of forces specified within another Action.)
[] [Psykana] The Celestial Orrery (0/2)
Taking the first stumbling step in creating wonders by combining technological and psychic disciplines into one cohesive whole is a step that is fraught with dangers. Though we know that such psy-tech can be made that it can become the underlying linchpin of civilization itself, like the Hymns of the Machines, many dangers come with invoking the powers of the Warp without a mind to ward off the daemonic influences that inevitably try to take advantage. Yet, a step can be taken in a direction that will enable us to build familiarity without suffering titanic repercussions in failure. The first intentional psy-tech of the Federation shall be the construction of the Celestial Orrery. This large machine will show the nearest star system's planetary bodies and their stellar paths.
(Gain: 8 DP Equipment: Celestial Orrery. Improves scouting.)
[] [Psykana] Conduct Two Melodies (Choose two below.) (0.8/1 - Auto Complete) - [Choose Melody]
The Celestial Choir has been given the means; with time, they shall conduct their songs. They will listen to the Warp and filter out the false whispers from the slumbering guidance of the Star Child. In halting prayer and stumbling humming, the truth will be stripped until nothing but it remains in the hands of those who shall make it anew into power to be wielded by the Choirs to come. As there are 10 Celestial Choirs free to pursue research, the High Council can ask them to pursue a target instead of what comes close. This will, naturally, be lost once they dip below 10 Choirs.
(Total: 30
Uncovered: Technology II.
Secret: Slumber, Silence II, Perception II, and Grounding II.
Star Child: Hope II, Compassion II, Humanity II, Mercy, Creativity III, Health II, Unity II, Innovation, Machinery, Logic II, Progress II, Protection II, Justice, Wisdom, The Sun II, The Home II, Death, Ruthlessness, Brutality, and Fire II.
Kil'drabi: Paths, The Void II, Struggle II, Community, and Family.
Gain: Two Melodies newly Conducted.)
[] [Psykana] Sing a Song (Choose at least Three below.)
Mere Melodies are not the end of the journey, nor should they be the start. They are the middle, from which all things shall grow and wither.
(Uncovered: Technology I.
Secret: Perception I, Silence, I, and Grounding I.
Star Child: Protection I, Fire I, The Sun I, Humanity I, Creativity II, Song III, The Home I, Logic I, Unity I, Progress I, Compassion I, Hope I, and Health I.
Kil'drabi: Void I, and Struggle I.
Gain: A Song.)
[] [Faith/Psykana] Holy Sigils
While...unorthodox for many, the use of holy symbols and geometry has not been a silent, or consigned, part of the Droman Creed. Many use strings of letters and numbers above their doors to invoke specific phrases and parts of the good book, just as others ink their skin or fur with the lines and colors of symbols used to convey faith and blessings. Yet, some Choirs have investigated the use of, potentially, empowering the same symbols with more than the faith of one, channeling into them the powers of the Warp sanctified by holy rituals to empower the righteous and pure of soul who adorn these symbols upon their person or the locations upon which they are inscribed.
(Gain: Holy symbols with power?)
[] [Faith] The Hallowed Armada
With the major Heresies of the Body of the Faith now mended as far as possible without veering into the territory of burning the fields to prevent a suspected blight, eyes, and minds turn from the halls of debate to the yards of construction. There, ships are built and maintained that have secured the safety and prosperity of the Glimmering Federation for generations, yet the faithful clamor for more to do their part where guns need to lay silent or where the death of a world must be signed. Both are equal in their burning need for those willing to pray and aid and those willing to consign billions to prevent fates worse than mere death.
(Gain: Sub-Turn to create, and get access to the template of, a unique Temple Ship.)
[] [Faith] Saint Candidates
-[] Thule YF/800 'Nagato'
-[] Daring Ignition
Some of the faith have shown the criteria to be declared a Saint.
(Gain: Look at potential Saint Candidates and decide if they are worthy of the title.)
[] [Blazing Sun] Every World A Fortress (4/8)
No longer left aside.
(Gain: 4 War-Packs per Action, one per Planet.)
[] [Chapter] Standardize The Chapter Fleet, Please? (1.5/5)
Seriously, the cost for all the unique and non-standard maintenance parts is astronomical.
(Gain: Large expansion and re-fitting of the Lamenters Chapter Fleet.)
[] [Other] Take Care Of [Future Or Current Problems]
(Write-In the problem being addressed.)
The "Five Second Incident," as the infiltration experts have begun to call it, occurred after a splicer team was charged with finding out more about the Hallowed Cogitation of Creation.

[] [General] Propaganda For The Foreign Masses (1/3)
With the Glimmering Federation struggling to digest its recent mass acquisition of systems and populations, some have raised the possibility of using the Federation's more diplomatic abilities and capabilities to subvert, convert, and then integrate new systems without causing mass casualties or widespread destruction. A Propaganda office outfitted with ships, Choirs, materials, factories, and a mandate to do just that should bring foreign systems into our sphere of influence and then the Federation as a whole.

[ ] [Military] Design New Voidship Classes - [Available: Destroyer (1 DP), Frigate (2 DP), Light Cruiser/Freighter (4 DP), Heavy Cruiser/Freighter (8 DP)] - [10 DP]
From what we can tell, thanks to our history, what information we, the Kil'drabi, Yeeni, and the archives of our planets tell us, the difference between a prosperous interstellar polity and one naught but ash is the strength of their navy. At the moment, we have the beginning of a proud Void Fleet, yet purely defending against our enemies is a great way to get ground down into dust over time; we need to be able to bring the fight to them.
(Information: Ship Classes requiring more DP than you possess take more than one Action to design.
Gain: Newly designed and built Ship Class/es.)

[] [Psykana] The Celestial Orrery (0/2)
Taking the first stumbling step in creating wonders by combining technological and psychic disciplines into one cohesive whole is a step that is fraught with dangers. Though we know that such psy-tech can be made that it can become the underlying linchpin of civilization itself, like the Hymns of the Machines, many dangers come with invoking the powers of the Warp without a mind to ward off the daemonic influences that inevitably try to take advantage. Yet, a step can be taken in a direction that will enable us to build familiarity without suffering titanic repercussions in failure. The first intentional psy-tech of the Federation shall be the construction of the Celestial Orrery. This large machine will show the nearest star system's planetary bodies and their stellar paths.
(Gain: 8 DP Equipment: Celestial Orrery. Improves scouting.)
[] [Psykana] Conduct Two Melodies (Choose two below.) (0.8/1 - Auto Complete) - [Choose Melody]
The Celestial Choir has been given the means; with time, they shall conduct their songs. They will listen to the Warp and filter out the false whispers from the slumbering guidance of the Star Child. In halting prayer and stumbling humming, the truth will be stripped until nothing but it remains in the hands of those who shall make it anew into power to be wielded by the Choirs to come. As there are 10 Celestial Choirs free to pursue research, the High Council can ask them to pursue a target instead of what comes close. This will, naturally, be lost once they dip below 10 Choirs.
(Total: 30
Uncovered: Technology II.
Secret: Slumber, Silence II, Perception II, and Grounding II.
Star Child: Hope II, Compassion II, Humanity II, Mercy, Creativity III, Health II, Unity II, Innovation, Machinery, Logic II, Progress II, Protection II, Justice, Wisdom, The Sun II, The Home II, Death, Ruthlessness, Brutality, and Fire II.
Kil'drabi: Paths, The Void II, Struggle II, Community, and Family.
Gain: Two Melodies newly Conducted.)
[] [Psykana] Sing a Song (Choose at least Three below.)
Mere Melodies are not the end of the journey, nor should they be the start. They are the middle, from which all things shall grow and wither.
(Uncovered: Technology I.
Secret: Perception I, Silence, I, and Grounding I.
Star Child: Protection I, Fire I, The Sun I, Humanity I, Creativity II, Song III, The Home I, Logic I, Unity I, Progress I, Compassion I, Hope I, and Health I.
Kil'drabi: Void I, and Struggle I.
Gain: A Song.)
[] [Faith/Psykana] Holy Sigils
While...unorthodox for many, the use of holy symbols and geometry has not been a silent, or consigned, part of the Droman Creed. Many use strings of letters and numbers above their doors to invoke specific phrases and parts of the good book, just as others ink their skin or fur with the lines and colors of symbols used to convey faith and blessings. Yet, some Choirs have investigated the use of, potentially, empowering the same symbols with more than the faith of one, channeling into them the powers of the Warp sanctified by holy rituals to empower the righteous and pure of soul who adorn these symbols upon their person or the locations upon which they are inscribed.
(Gain: Holy symbols with power?)
[] [Faith] The Hallowed Armada
With the major Heresies of the Body of the Faith now mended as far as possible without veering into the territory of burning the fields to prevent a suspected blight, eyes, and minds turn from the halls of debate to the yards of construction. There, ships are built and maintained that have secured the safety and prosperity of the Glimmering Federation for generations, yet the faithful clamor for more to do their part where guns need to lay silent or where the death of a world must be signed. Both are equal in their burning need for those willing to pray and aid and those willing to consign billions to prevent fates worse than mere death.
(Gain: Sub-Turn to create, and get access to the template of, a unique Temple Ship.)
[] [Faith] Saint Candidates
-[] Thule YF/800 'Nagato'
-[] Daring Ignition
Some of the faith have shown the criteria to be declared a Saint.
(Gain: Look at potential Saint Candidates and decide if they are worthy of the title.)
[] [Blazing Sun] Every World A Fortress (4/8)
No longer left aside.
(Gain: 4 War-Packs per Action, one per Planet.)
[] [Chapter] Standardize The Chapter Fleet, Please? (1.5/5)
Seriously, the cost for all the unique and non-standard maintenance parts is astronomical.
(Gain: Large expansion and re-fitting of the Lamenters Chapter Fleet.)
[] [Other] Take Care Of [Future Or Current Problems]
(Write-In the problem being addressed.)
