[X] Plan: Establishing Boundaries and Rewarding Lamenters
-[X] [General] Figure out an Economy
-[X] [Military] Uuuuh, Organi-what?
-[X] [Chapter] Screen for Potential Candidates and Foster Gene-Slaves

Once we get the government shit out of the way, we can hopefully move onto the fun stuff, like hunting the remnants of the Psykana experiments with the new Lamenter recruits as either a Chapter initiation, or bonding exercise.

As far as it goes, some creeds of the Star Child are less than ideal, but also sorta, like, meh? A random ex-Dark Mechanicus outpost isn't going to be taking the fight via aggressive military campaign against an Aeldari Craftworld or invade some random minor Xenos homeworld with the goal of exterminating all of them or converting them, and so the stance, while not great, is pretty meaningless since at the moment the station doesn't even HAVE a foreign policy.

Speaking of: "On another note, a worker neglecting their duties discovered a new burning star. However, that star quickly turned out to be a burning planet after closer inspection via a telescope. Dreadnought Chyron took one look at the pict feed from that planet and determined that that celestial body had been subjected to an Exterminatus via Atmospheric Incinerator Torpedo. This news did little to calm things down and has raised a call to begin arming the military and repairing the available system monitors moored at the station."

This is... perhaps a little bit unnerving.

Let's not neglect the Lamenters, yeah?
 
It seems like that's kinda the point? That the action economy's gonna be rough for a while? And even once we do all of the Basics (TM), we'll have to make real choices on what to progress.

That's a big yikes......we may very well be seeing an Imperial Fleet on a war path coming to our station. Going to definitely train up a light infantry next turn.

So you get to enjoy some white bread for a change!

Yeah, I can already see people reinventing the Trinity from here, and frankly I wish they do so, just so that our entire society can implode in arguments on Trinitarian philosophy and heresies that necessitate mass conflict.

I kinda doubt it, if only because there's no way that a single light infantry would keep us from being killed by the Imperium, and even if we devoted all of our actions to military we couldn't cope if they're going to somehow laser hone onto us. Honestly a better first move would be getting that monitor up.

Since we have what seems like impending doom, I say getting the Lamenters a leg up sounds great about now.

Yeah, it's not perfect, but it's good enough for now and already a vast improvement of the regular Imperial Cult.

At least Bnuy can follow her heart's desires now.
 
[x] Plan: Getting set up, Part 2
-[x] [General] Figure out an Economy
-[x] [Military] Uuuuh, Organi-what?
-[x] [Psykana] Hunt down the remaining Psykana Experiments

My reasoning here is pretty simple: we need an economy and we need the demons dead. Military organization will help with both of those things. Education can, to a degree, wait. I'd like to get the Lamenters going but tinkering with space marine anything while there are still daemons nearby sounds like a bad idea.

So far, we're noticeably nicer than the imperium. That's not hard but it's something, at least. We're probably going to get a lot of mutants as recruits at some point after they hear we won't kill them on sight.
