@Dapperlad1 will there be some more factors in the fusion research like it still being an experimental technology and needing more funding and is Europe going to be gung-ho for fusion?

Europe is likely to be quite happy with fusion technology, it just needs to be aided in deployment. Non-state entities are struggling between collapsing previous energy monopolies for the new one and not doing so.
[X] Corporate System Security Industry v2 (1230)
-[X] Naval Buildup (450 PF): Build 10 Prometheus class cruisers to increase defenses of the Sol System.
-[X] Drone Armies (280 PF): Build and Deploy 10 Drone Infantry Armies (150 PF), 3 Drone Armor (60 PF) Armies, and 3 Drone Air Armies (60 PF) to Mars. They are to increase and hold territory in our Martian domain for permanent settlement in the Red Planet. Allowing it to open up for the many economic concerns for the system.
-[X] Fusion Technologies Deployment (100 PF): With the assistance of the European Union the time to deploy fusion technology is nigh. A whole new market will emerge in a land of cheap energy where economic growth and potential will skyrocket.
-[X] Martian Moon Research Cities (100 PF): Phobos and Deimos will be a great site for researching better military technologies and to study the wreckage of the Battle of Sol. Provide the European defense establishment facilities in these moons and a site where safety standards can be lax for weapons and armor testing. Any military corporation is able to have facilities in these cities as long as they are able to pay the rental fees.
-[X] Project Akashawami (200 PF): The clamping down of alien sympathizers is of utmost priority to system stability. Creating predictive software able to analyze both digital and physical information with accurate results on suspected cults against stability. With those arrested in the corporate states being viable candidates of their memories being uploaded as part of increasing the accuracy of predictions as well as lobotomizing them for future experiments. In addition, this data can be sold to law enforcement, intelligence agencies, PMCs with a security service, and advertisers on both clean and criminal information.
-[X] Project Wells (100 PF): A team of specially modified drones will extract and analyse all alien biomass and transmit all the data back to preposed Phobos and/or Deimos research sites (or Earth and Luna if both aren't available) where our best scientists will look over the biological data with the goal of developing and deploying an airborne Biowepion that could adversely survive in the martian atmosphere and adversely affect the aliens' reproduction cycle and/or cause they death. The bioweapon should also have a relatively short lifespan outside (less than 24 hours) its target host to decrease chances of infection for future colonists.
Added the bioweapons project and cut the fusion money to do that kept the 10 PF bonus money for the drone army. Also once more:
[X] Continue the ground war. (Your turn actions should include some method to engage in greater warfare, as one thousand ground troops will not suffice at all.)

A couple of questions for our Glorious QM. How would the EU feel about a delayed rollout of the uploading technology? IE, setting a timeframe of X years to upload all of humanity? (With an excuse of resources and shortages as cover.) and would it be potentially possible to set up massive geothermal plants on a cracked Mars with lava flowing over it?

The EU would most likely rather you didn't deploy such a thing, as the civil unrest formed from not releasing immortality on a large scale would, uh, be massive. If it had to be released, it should be done as rapidly as possible in simulated opinions from their leaders, to avoid feelings of unfairness.
However, I imagine you have not shared that this technology exists yet, so their opinion is rather unformed in truth.
It'd be rather easy to use geothermal power, perhaps a stopgap before fusion reactors can properly be built. The true use in any such lava would be skimming it for valuable minerals forced to the surface.
Instead of direct upload tech rollout, could the corps that have the upload tech roll out more and more advanced mind machine interfaces (for those who can afford it) that allow for more of their users mind to exist in the net, until the weaknesses of flesh can be discarded?

A slow upload is typically the preferred method, using precise neurosurgery to replace brain matter in chunks. Quick uploads are copies, no continuity of consciousness is maintained.

In respect to the validity of Project Akashawami it is quite needed to hunt down and destroy pro-alien cultists in the name of stability of profit. Forming a combination of the 40k's Imperial Inquisition and Psycho Pass' Sybil System. It is quite needed in the fight against the alien. Besides we should always be much more careful of the enemy within. I don't trust the AI we built and I bet the feeling's mutual.
I agree but at least we have much less difficulty in containing the cults,
and humans live in a cyberpunk world now which means we have everything interconnected to the networks and being spied on 24 hours a day with AIs on top monitoring everything, it's very hard for a cult to develop so they have to run away from spying it means running away of technology since everything is interconnected, but without technologies they have very little influence to do anything, the only risk is if they manage to do a ritual and call for reinforcements but we don't know if that's possible, but even if they run away from technology it Should already make them on the suspect list right away, a cyberpunk world and one of the easiest worlds to keep your population under control
I mean outside of the arcologies the rest of the world is still not as cyberpunk especially this is also used to control the rural populations which we still have since we haven't done anything more for the corporate states to believe the cities are more worth it. So... the project is still needed especially with the paranoia that yes the world is much more blatant in not caring about your privacy.
Another thing to note is that we are becoming very dependent on AIs, if a rebellion happens the only way to defend is at least at the beginning is with the upload, but I don't want to do that at least not with the whole population this will close many Interesting research paths, in the future we should focus a little more on biotechnology it will help to understand the aliens and maybe use their technology, we are very focused on AIs and robotics lately focusing on biotechnology at least we diversified our technology more and we became less dependent of AIs, becoming a kind of alien vs predator engineer type would be very interesting in the future

just found this story, looks like a lot of fun.
I say we crack the world later if ground war fails. the cracked planet should have a lot of easier to access mineral wealth at least

Total Profit Factor-1230
[X] The New Industrial revolution
Avalon Private Security Force-65 Profit Factor/turn
Considering they were doing such great work before! It's probably a good idea to "renew" their contract.
Coalition de la Légion Etrangère -70 Profit Factor/turn
Bring back the Legion and get them sent to Mars to suppress the aliens.
Send a message to Deus that we'll work the mass uploads into a schedule within a time period of... 3 Decades?
So he does nothing drastic about our meat bag existence. (Hopefully.)
150PF to subsidize the fusion rollout and work on the lunar helium 3 mining.
Pretty self-explanatory. We've got one of the large moon bases so hold a partial monopoly on that juicy, juicy helium.
200PF Research the optimization of the production process. (Possibly through the joint research facilities with the EU?)
Through massive 3D printers, Drone controlled assembly lines, or whatever else. It's time to bring our production to the next stage, as we're currently in an end war we want as much production and as cheap as we can get it. Because we'll soon have a near-monopoly on resources Via the next stage of the plan
250PF Mass exploitation of Asteroid field resources through uploaded workers and automated facilities
This is pretty simple, the asteroid field while far out is basically the richest area of the solar system. We can use our automated drones (Possibly live in humans as well to monitor it. Or even uploaded persons as overseers) to bring production to the next level.
150PF Mass transit options
For this, I was thinking we create mass drivers to deliver things at a fraction of the speed of light! Of course, other options would be viable like supermassive cargo ships or something?
150PF Limited upload testing
As this technology is new and untested, it's time to "push the limits" as they say. We need to test people of various psychological profiles and under other conditions to see how uploading affects humans and then exploit the fuck out of them. If we make some kind of genius scientist that's just a +!
250PF work on the development of "sleeves"
As uploading of consciousness is now available. The next thing we should do is work on places to download it. Designer bodies, whether biological or robotic will be the next big thing. Perhaps even parallel consciousness. They would of course likely be better in every way than current bodies.
195PF Start a division devoted to dealing with the Xenos threats
Whether it's the cults that spring up on earth or the armatures on mars or even the craft in space, we need a division to begin extensive research of them and to figure out ways to deal with these problems. So I suggest that in this half-decade we devote funding to one division to deal with all of these things.
If there's anything I missed or you have feedback feel free to state it! This is only a rough plan that's open to changing.

[X] Build more things! (1230)
(65 PF/turn) Rehire Avalon Private Security Force
Definitely don't want to leave our stuff without security.
(70 PF/turn) Coalition de la Légion Etrangère
We'll need them to keep the cultists in line at the very least.
(225 PF) Naval Buildup: Build 5 Prometheus class cruisers for our fleet.
(250 PF) Drone Armies: Build and Deploy 8 Drone Infantry Armies (120 PF), 3 Drone Armor (60 PF) Armies, and 3 Drone Air Armies (60 PF) to Mars. This should allow us to push back the Aliens a little bit and secure some areas where we can build hopefully.
(160 PF) Fusion Rollout: Facilitate the deployment of fusion technology, leveraging our assets on Luna to gain control of Helium 3 mining operations for maximum profit.
(150 PF) Phobos Bioweapon Black Site: Establish a covert research facility on Phobos with the goal of developing an airborne bioweapon suitable for use against the aliens. State of the art robotics will ensure the site can be operated remotely, minimizing any risk of a containment breach. Ideally, the bioweapon should be suitable for deployment within the Martian atmosphere and safe for human physiology.
(150 PF) Commercialize Brain Machine Interfaces: Create less advanced copies of the brain machine interfaces used in the full upload research. Use these to gain a monopoly on the neural cybernetics market. Extract maximum profit by gradualy releasing successive generations of "improved" technology.
(160 PF) Counterespionage measures: The Union will likely attempt to steal the uploading technology once they realize we have it. Invest in securing proprietary research and sensitive communications.
