[X] PR-9S
[X] Devastation Reroll

Partly as frankly, Thrawn could benefit more on a high chance of stealing a Planet Killer, and ideally, under even Palpatine's nose... Compared to him, critting in being a Tactical Genius.

Would do lazy calcs on 'easiest' to crit, option wise. But eh, I'll stick by the saying "it was a bare success", and want it better.

As for the Jedi and Tarkin... Oh boy, Oh boy, can I outright imagine Palpatine taking a spit take over how say; Thrawn has utterly shredded him, diplomatically. To the point that I'd not be surprised if Anakin's nightmare/s on Tarkin, suddenly shifted to said Tarkin being shot on the firing block instead...

... To some shudder, and almost 'Darth Vader' like quote. Like say...

"... a tremor in the force. the last time i felt it was in the presence of... Oh, it's her, again."

Cue Anakin feeling uncertain, before maybe concluding with...

"... Guess I must give her a visit, again." (If wryy! Ends up digging on him so much, over what possible wrench Ciaren has that will throw 'The Revenge of the Sith' beyond a SNAFU by a Palpatine Index.)

-

And now in other news, how long, until Palpatine can't help but shudder, over how his Jedi... Headache, is becoming quite a problem. :p

Sorry I couldn't contribute to any plan discussion. I started a bingereading spree right before Snark posted the turn.

Also, @Sinsystems just reminded me that I still haven't finished Nier: Automata. I should get on that...

[X] Reroll Devastation

A possibly psychotic android if pushed hard enough? What are the odds of something like that possibly happening to PR-1? It is not like the insanity of the Abyss Watchers could possibly drive a logical machine to crazy actions.

We need to make more Nier Automaton androids sometime in the future. If only for the lulz because why not? We already got tachikoma expies, a battle frame for one Hero Unit, and everyone's favorite assassination droid. Making a whole bunch of super attractive androids (that were probably sex bots originally) isn't the craziest thing Ciaran has done.

Well at the very least the Machine Lifeforms are a pretty good design to use for a Modular series of combat droid, plus they appear to be rather rugged and durable which would make them useful in most environments.

Now I can't help but imagine HK-47 accidentally having to cosplay as say; 2B, hating every second of it, and somehow accidentally forever scar the image of 'sexbots' being the most ruthless and deadly of killer robots, on the whole galaxy.

But more frankly, getting Androids on Nier Automata tier killer robots, would not only make Ciaren's 'hidden eye' appeal look fasionable, but will if crafted well enough to fool people into thinking their human, be a potential valuable asset, assassination and espionage wise. :p
 
Here's the latest tally. The Devastation reroll is definitely a winner, though there's still some competition over the PR-1 redesign.

So I somehow managed to miss the vote for the actions this turn (not that I probably would have voted), and I'm too lazy to bother sorting through all the pages to find what won.

Would anyone be willing to give me a list of what we chose (including base actions)
 
You know it will be a waste of Cheriss' ability if we don't vote for an extremely organic looking PR-1 because her frames make her look like an authentic Torguta.
 
@Dr. Snark should the upkeep for the Oracle reduced by our military upkeep discount?

Also, gotta say, these bonuses/reduction percentages being additive across multiple categories is devilry.

Data can look extremely organic just assume he has a none human skin color.

As to form, why would anyone take someone that looks like a 14 year old seriously?
