[X]Plan: Patent Pending
-[X]Balance the Powers: You know for a damn certain fact that there is going to be a war coming your way, and now is the time to see if you can't stop these idiots from killing themselves over little old you. (Cost 3 Control)
-[X]Offer Humanitarian Observers: The UN Observers are here. Time to give them the Grand Tour (Cost 2 Control)
-[X]Finding Common Ground: You want to find some nations that will not kill you given the chance.(Cost 3 Control)
-[X]That One Security Mission: So you have a simple mission, go to China and Protect a Hong Kong national that is trying to escape. What can go wrong? (Cost 4 Control)
-[X]THIS ENDS NOW! (Egypt): You are not in the mood for a pisspoor neighbor, run by idiots! You are going to end this civil war, and then you are going to get drunk. (Cost 4 Control)
-[X]THIS ENDS NOW! (Sudan!): You are not in the mood for a pisspoor neighbor, run by idiots! You are going to end this civil war, and then you are going to get drunk.(Cost 4 Control)
-[X]Peacekeeping the Peacekeepers: You don't trust the Americans. So you're going to keep their peacekeeping operations to your standards. (Cost 7 Control)
-[X]Dissuading an Invasion (Russia) So…You are going to invade your little home with that? Fuck em, let them come, let them die! (Cost 10 Control)
-[X]Dissuading and Invasion (China): Hi China… Bye China! Hope the Door doesn't kick your ass on the way out! (Cost 10 Control)
-[X]A True Hospital?: You need to build a building that can be a real hospital for the men? (Cost 9 Control)
-[X]Census Time: You need a census of who actually lives here? (Cost 2 Control)
-[X]Keep Developing Sustenance Agriculture: Well the Desert isn't the best place to farm, but it is a start? (Cost 5 Control)
-[X]Digging Deeper: You need to find out if there is a way to get to that oil without poisoning one of the largest sources of fresh water on the planet. (Cost 5 Control)
--[X]To be clear we're aborting if this looks like it'll fuck up the water, right? That is absolutely the priority here
-[X]Land Development and other signs of Civilization: Maybe you can make infrastructure, and roads that will make things. (Cost 1 Control)
-[X]Design a New Gun: You want a new gun designed by you. Perhaps one that can stand up to the test of time. (Cost 2 Control)
--[X]Do rocket launchers count as a gun? It's kinda like a really big gun, right?
-[X]Copy another Design: When they say that you were mad, well they do say that plagiarism is the (Cost 1 Control)
--[X] We have a bunch of rifles and ammo, presumably whatever type it is is common around here, and worth understanding. If our neighbors are gonna start shit with us even after our attempts at putting out those fires we are going to see a lot more of those guns.
-[X]Create something New(Military): Well maybe you can use that big brain and do something amazing. (Cost 3 Control)
--[X]Something to shoot down enemy aircraft/missiles. We've got the Steves on a fancy computer, maybe it can give us firing solutions, but either way if the Second World decides to bomb us into the stone age I'd like to have some recourse.
-[X]Create something new (Agriculture): Well maybe you can use that big brain and do something amazing. (Cost 3 Control)
--[X] We've got our work cut out for us trying to reshape the desert, even with all that water. Something to improve the feasibility of that.
-[X]Create something New(Industry) Well maybe you can use that big brain and do something amazing. (Cost 3 Control)
--[X]Try to improve our digging/extraction abilities. We've got water to surface, that oil to extract, and even something below that? This is a toolset we are gonna use a lot.
-[X]Science the Shit out of Something: Who said that science was something that would be the death of you. (Cost 3 Control)
--[X]If we're pumping up water, and eventually oil, could we build down as well as up?
-[X]Building a Chip Factory: The Boys at Apple need some microprocessors. You can build them a place where they can make some. (Cost 5 Control)
-[X]Apple Computers, Mercenary Edition: You are going to ask those boys to do something incredible, make a PC for military use, that can survive anything. Hope that works.(Cost 10 Control)
-[X] Li Mei - (RP)
--[X]See if we have any good generals around. Organizing a mercenary team for a job is one thing, coordinating thousands for a single war is perhaps another.
--[X]Hang out with Mike and Dave, they're clearly resourceful guys who are worth picking the brains of. Try to get a feel for how everyone's doing while we're at it.
--[X]What's all this about ominous stuff below us? Someone has to know what's going on, and it's better to find out before we dig it up.
Total cost: 99/100
The cost might sound risky until you remember that 69 of our Control is being spent on Military/R&D actions, which our hefty bonuses insulate us from losses on.
Going to edit in some thoughts, as usual critique welcome.
EDIT: Going heavy on Military and R&D since as far as I can see we just... don't fail those right now. (The name is poking at the latter as the plan's defining feature, since Outer Heaven going heavy military is nothing new.) The turn's other priorities are split between trying to develop the nation and trying to stave off/survive war. Didn't go for skyscrapers because I'm not sure they'd survive a conflict and the hospital would be more urgent in that case (and not irrelevant even in relative peace, with as much mercenary business as we do).
Hoping talking to the Soviets in conjunction with everything else we're doing will help get them off our backs. EDIT #2: Okay given the whole "irrefutable proof they're trying to kill us" thing I'm not sure anything we can do will calm them down. Replacing it with going looking for friends elsewhere.
Lots of military tech, mostly with a mind for making things less bad if we do plunge headfirst into a war. Not sure our flex slot should be spent on building downward rather than more military stuff, but I'm hoping that it'll help us catch up after doing, frankly, not a lot of infrastructure this turn. Also if our buildings are underground maybe that'll be more defensible? A bit optimistic, admittedly.
