They Came From The Iron Star: By Will Of Steel (PA/Multi)

You have been in this universe for two months now. You're pretty sure the natives have noticed you.

You should….probably do something to keep them from attacking.



Land Construction Options:
[]
Suggested Actions:
[] It may look like paste, but it is edible: While machines do not need to eat, your forces can produce a nutrient rich paste that is capable of sustaining sentient beings, though they will complain about the taste. Expanded production facilities for the algae and plankton needed to make the paste will allowed for increased paste production. Rewards: +100 Food. Cost: 4,000 Resources
[] For Science: You have exactly one lab at your base for research into all fields. Adding a second one will likely increase your ability to make new discoveries. Rewards: -1 turn to all research projects. Cost: 10,000 Resources
[] Improved Fortifications: The best defense is not always a good offense. Creating additional fortifications should help keep you protected from enemy forces. Reward: Increased base defenses. Cost: 10,000 Resources
[] Improved Sensors: Better sensors allow you to learn of in attack well in advance of it actualyl happening. Reward: Increased Sensor Range and Penetration (please stop smiling). Cost: 7,000 Resources
[] Drums in the Deep: Digging into the soils and bedrock will allow you to produce subterranean structures and create special defenses against surface attacks. Rewards: Underground Consturction, Strategic Missile Shelter. Cost: 5,000 Resources
[] Ice Harvesting Plant: You have an ice deposit. Let's see if you can get some water. Costs: 5,000 Resources.
[] Advanced Metal Extraction Site: Turn your newest discovery into sweet, sweet resources! (Costs 15,000 Resources, adds 3,000 resources to turn production total).

Surface Production Option:
[]
Suggested Actions:
[] Produce Additional Scouts: Scout units can be used to examine the topography of the area and potentially locate new resources, base sites, and locals. Rewards: +10 Land Scouts, +10 Air Scouts, +20 Scout Bots. Costs 200 Resources
[] Produce Combat Units: You need an army to kill things with and defend your stuff. Let's build one. Rewards: +1000 infantry bots, +200 tanks, + 100 Assault bots, + 100 Fighters, +100 Bombers. Costs 500 resources

Research Actions:
[]
Suggested Actions:
[]Android Communication Form: You have the ability to create android units. Maybe looking in to making a form that they see as less threatening will help avoid misunderstandings? Reward: Android Envoy unit - allows for diplomacy with androids.
[]Machine Lifeform Communication Form: You have the ability to create android units. Maybe looking in to making a form that they see as less threatening will help avoid misunderstandings? Reward: Machine Lifeform Envoy unit - allows for diplomacy with Machines.
[]Android Weaponry: Examining the weapons used by the Androids may yield insights into how to defend against it. Reward: Resistance to Android Weapons increased, potential further topics.

Surface Force Deployment:
[]
Suggested Actions:
[] Search for intelligence: We may not be alone here. See if any other intelligences, biological or artificial, dwell here. Rewards: Possible Encounter, resources
[] Resource Hunt: Search for an area rich in resources, where new base facilities may be assembled.

Orbital Force Deployment:
[]
Suggested Actions:
[] Scout the perimeter: Sensors do not suggest any hostile activity in the area, or any activity at all for that matter, but it would still be advisable to get visual confirmation. Especially since we know that there are space faring machines here. Rewards: peace of mind
[] Probe Earth: Orbital Scout Fleets can be sent to perform small-scale espionage on either the Machines or the Androids. Rewards: Intel, potential actions.

OOC: Look, I spent a night without sleeping and I am about to be on a plane to Hawaii for six hours. Please cut me some slack.
