I don't mean to sound impatient. But when will the next turn be up?

Was wondering myself if it was stuff going on in RL or writer's block we could maybe aid with or something?
I know my negotiation voted stuff wasn't great, worried it mighta been tough to work with. Defaulting to more basic 'this happened during it' would be alright if need be.

Good to know, thanks! And yeah, RL always comes first, we understand. Looking forwards to whenever you can give us more of your awesome quest.

Just stumbled onto this quest and I just and I gotta say, it's a very unique setting that I am ALL for, I've never seen a Combine Advisor quest before and I am more than eager to see how this plays out, I might not comment much, but I'll be watching this thread eagerly.

They said they had stuff going on, I assume that's still true, hoping it comes back though.
But, a reminder that if you need more from us, or need to change things to proceed Mantising, we'll understand and work with you on it. Or minimalize a scene and go past it with only vague details. Whatever needs be done.

Carcinoma, Turn 8
Last turn results:
[x] Repulsor Transport (0/180) (37 Roll + 15 Skill = 52) + (25 Roll + 15 Skill = 40) + (64 Roll + 15 Skill = 79) + (59 Roll + 15 Skill = 74) = (245/180)

108 Giggledust Crates
See Turn 7.5; +65 Admin Overflow assignment available.
[x] Inoculate
"Attention Non-Citizen Workforce; Punitive actions in this location have been suspended. Report to central processing facility to receive medical aid."
By the time the laborers start actually moving out of the areas they'd been corralled into most of your forces have already pulled out of the facility. They amble around, occasionally glancing up at the remaining Scanners but mostly at the destruction around them, only a few milling towards the central plant.
A group of three makes a run for the treeline once it's apparent that your forces are ignoring them, and all three fall at the same time from small explosions.
You review that moment again; a set of simultaneous detonations, all at almost the same spot on the back of the neck.
Explosive implants, likely automated.
...It's a crude method, but perhaps the Hutts are more shrewd than you had anticipated.
[x] 1x Research Die Contraband Analysis (DC 35) 89 Roll + 15 Skill = 104 CRIT, +10 Bonus to Research rolls this turn.
Going from a bare handful of vials to hundreds has certainly given you plenty of material to work with for your analyses.
The substance appears to rely on two compounds, the first causes the primary effect the drug is known for; stimulating the amygdala and adjacent structures to lower the threshold of what is considered humorous in most species, while also blocking the receptors responsible for the feeling of fatigue.
The second is much more subtle, causing a mild delirium that, in conjunction with the primary effect, increases suggestibility and neuroplasticity. A higher concentration of this second compound should exacerbate the condition, enough that long-term use should aid in the molding of a subject's mind through simple exposure to the appropriate concepts, though at the cost of reduced capability while the drug is in use.
Unlocked a future Civic option: Increased Compliance for Reduced Productivity.
[x] 1x Research Die Repulsor Train Design (0/100) 42 Roll + 15 Skill + 10 Bonus = (67/100)
There are certain challenges in the conversion process; the repulsors have a tendency to interfere with each other when chained together in series, and given the lack of an actual track the train currently tries to drift when a turn is too sharp, but these issues are more than resolvable given time.
[x] 2x Psionics Die Hatch (35/150, +2 Skill to Admin, Tactics and Diplomacy.) (30 Roll + 15 Skill = 45) + (93 Roll + 15 Skill = 107 CRIT) = (187/150)
You've prepared as much as you reasonably can, tweaked your immune system and it's constituent implants to deal with the irritants and pathogens present in the planet's atmosphere. The Pod shifts, releasing you from it's protective confines, and you feel the Force pulse briefly in response as you taste the atmosphere of this world for the first time, if filtered through your mask.
You could swear the air still manages to sting at your skin through your suit, in spite of the climate control systems.
Why any organic race would willingly choose to settle such a noxious environment is beyond you.
You don't go very far, a set of screens unfolding from the ceiling as a set of nozzles spray a fine mist over your body; to ensure proper skin hydration.
[x] 1x Diplomacy Die Negotiate With Sabaoth's Teeth Mercenaries 37 Roll + 7 Skill = 44
[x] Negotiate Directly
It takes seven minutes for the Mercenaries to respond, a 2d representation of the female Rodian lounging in a tall, rounded chair appearing in holo-blue coloration on-screen.
"Vlyal spea-" She blinks, cutting herself off and narrowing her eyes. "You're… Nevermind, I-"
"Elaborate on the services provided by your organization."
The captain pauses again at your interruption, swallowing deeply. "...Right, direct. Okay. We have a full squadron of starfighters with quad laser cannons and shielding, and veteran pilots better than anything you're likely to see outside the Republic Navy. We'll fight for you, in the black or planetside."
"And the condition of your vessels?"
"...We had a setback some time ago. Nothing you need to be concerned about, we keep our fighters in top condition. Much better than the Shell's clunkers, I assure you. Else they wouldn't have bothered hiring us." She straightens in her seat, clasping her hands together.
"Might I have the honor of knowing with whom I am speaking?"
"The Combine."
She blinks again, and you continue before she can ask further irrelevant questions.
"We are prepared to offer the equivalent of Forty-Thousand Republic Credits."
A series of sharp, nasally chuckles intrude upon your senses for a moment. "My… I'd need triple that to even consider it. Surely you don't think you can outbid the Hutts by being cheap, now do you? That barely covers the cost o-"
"We will raise an additional Twenty-Thousand, in conjunction with complete maintenance of your equipment and vessels."
Her head tilts to the side, looking at something behind the camera for a moment. "...That is tempting. But how do I know you're going to follow through here? Give us the creds up front, with another five on top."
"Acceptable. Continued collaboration will be rewarded. Further instruction will follow."
"W- ...When, I nee-"
"Attention Auxiliary force. Change communication frequencies to 18-27…"
The captain startles a moment before you disconnect, turning your attention to more pertinent matters as Overwatch handles integration.
Resources lost:
-65k Credits
A promise.
Gained Sabaoth Starfighters(Merc.)
[x] Deploy Defoliant
The Construction Striders work in teams of two, one hoisting the long hoses, filled with the yellowish defoliant compound. They spray over the foliage and the occasional fauna caught in the area, the substance foaming and steaming on contact, weighing down the plantlife before the second strider cuts and smothers them with various tools.
A path is made to the nearest road, and various detritus is piled together towards to dry and form a tenable road surface connecting to it.
…
The Hutts continue to bring in more transports; as confirmed by your new Forces, with more droids, but it is hard to ascertain their numbers with the information you have access to. That said, the general movements of the assets you do have track of are consistent with an imminent mobilization.

[ ] Viscerators (DC 25)
A small, flying Mechanical Unit that uses spinning blades offensively. They excel at clearing confined spaces on their own, and are compact enough to be carried by your Transhuman soldiers.
Incapable of independent function, must be carried or launched by another unit or structure.

[ ] Scanners (DC 15)
These mobile surveillance machines are normally intended for use in Urban environs, one tool of many to allow the Overwatch System to properly maintain order through omnipresence and omniscience. But, perhaps in this case they would serve well in monitoring the surrounding swampland for potential intruders.

Primary Projects:
[ ] Gestate Synths:
[ ] Crab Synths (3/125)
Heavily armed and armored, the Crab Synth is most suited to frontal assaults, bringing it's pulse chaingun down on enemy positions. In close combat it's claws are even powerful enough to dig into thin-skinned vehicles. On Nar Kaaga it can navigate without hindrance, slicing through the foliage with ease and perhaps even burrowing into the soft soil to stage ambushes.

[ ] Hunters (17/100)
Nominally a scout unit, Hunters excel at stalking isolated targets, as well as possessing a high degree of mobility allowing them to traverse nearly any terrain. While unable to completely replace infantry, they serve well in supporting roles of all kinds.

[ ] Mortar Synths (101/110)
Essentially a self-mobile piece of light artillery, the Mortar Synth is very vulnerable if left unprotected in a conflict area. That stated, in conjunction with other units marking targets it provides a degree of firepower only rivaled by emplacements and significantly larger machines.

[ ] Claw Scanner (0/50)
A more advanced, multi-role version of the Mechanical Scanner, the Claw Scanner provides support to other Synth units by spotting targets, providing visuals via a neural linkage and dropping support equipment and ammunition for Transhuman forces. Sometimes used for the delivery of non-essential cargo.
Buffs one other unit. May independently lay mines at a location.

[ ] Basic Transhuman Augmentation Facility (0/175)
Without the space for a comprehensive conversion program you'll be restricted to the earlier Prototype version of the Modern Transhuman Forces. However doing what you can with the available resources will allow you to increase throughput of these units significantly, though their long-term viability will be limited.
Enables rapid creation of Combine Grunts from base population. +2 Unit Cap on completion.

[ ] Canister Launcher (42/125)
A simple magnetic acceleration system to launch cargo pods across large distances. Typically used to deliver either Viscerators or Parasitics to a hostile location, sometimes in support of Transhuman Overwatch Activities. Includes a simple cloning device.
Halves Unit Cap upkeep of Viscerators, may launch Headcrab Canisters once per turn.

[ ] Repulsor Train Design (67/100)
The pre-existing rail networks on Earth proved to be extremely useful for the logistics of the Combine Overwatch. While no such network exists on this world, the long term utility cannot be denied. Switching to a frictionless Repulsorlift system would allow the trains to traverse nearly undeveloped pathways between destinations, dramatically reducing the upfront cost of such a system.

[ ] Long-Range Aerial Antigens (0/200)
Your studies indicate that warfare in this Galaxy heavily favors the use of small, often single-occupant strike craft either to harry the opposition's own craft or to deliver powerful munitions directly to installations or vessels. Creating a self-guided missile with a Repulsor in addition to conventional drive systems would allow the projectile to essentially ignore a planet's gravity well. Limited only by air resistance and fuel, you estimate such a weapon could rapidly eliminate light targets even in low orbit above a launch site, though efficiency drop-offs mean it is unlikely to be viable against larger targets.

Deep apologies for the long wait on this one.
Five months of on-and-off attempts (That may or may not have had anything to do with 150hrs of my life vanishing into the streets of Night City) to get this turn out, and two posts get me to shit out ~1.5k words in one day. The muse is a strange and fickle beast. If I feel another hiatus coming on I will properly mention it next time, but I really hope I can keep up the momentum here. Been I while since I did this so I probably missed some things, C&C appreciated.

Good to have my fav quest in awhile back!
*digs in to read*
Darn, wish we had acquired a sample of the implant for later research purposes, finding ways around. Thought they were relying on the swamp preventing escape.
Interesting. Not what I hoped to gain out of it, but sufficient for research purposes.
Train be chugging on, as it does.
Sweeeet. Excellent roll. Even if the end result only gives us a stepping point for more.
We'll be adjusting it soon enough to fit our needs.
*cackles with anticipation*
It's interesting how this doesn't have the text revealed even when highlighted for me, needing me to quote it to see our lines. I like it, it's very fitting, ominous. Perfect.
*cackles at the response to psionics* Trying to play it cool eh captain? Trying to talk yourself up too probably. You've no idea what you're aligning with now.
I like how to the point we are. Brusque.
*chuckles* That was well done. And we didn't even need to use all the credits! The benefits of psionic negotiation I assume.
Not much on our end, but I can imagine how ominous it appears from the outside if anyone's watching.
They're about to attack us, eh? Just when we were about to do the same to them. Hehehe. Funny how that works out.
We've slipped our shell, come forth, gathered a mercenary force to eliminate the enemy's air forces. Now we just need to display our dominance and move forth to seize.
Now is the time for BATTLE! But where? When? How? That is what it's time to consider.
I believe we should finish up the mortar synths and make another viscerator swarm, since we got the space. And everything else on a assault plan of Kos-Amul, with intent to seize the spaceport. Have the mercs contest the headhunters, maybe betray and down an incoming transport for maximum mayhem as a opener?

Strange, shows up fine for me.
Is it because it's bolded?
I really liked the one-sided Advisor conversations in HL2 and Alyx, and I wanted to replicate that in the text.
Edit: Also shows up fine for me on Neptune style. Dear god who would ever use Sunlight? Do you value your eyes!?

Ah, I think it's because my style, chosen in lower left, is on 'Neptune'. Dark colored background instead of a white that hurts my eyes.
And you did well on that, was quite excellent. I hope to see more such or reactions to us in the future, as muse allows.

I'd have loved to get the canister launcher, but unless the assault goes poorly we won't need it, it's not as assured as mortar and viscerator to get out, and it's less likely to be needed afterwards than anti-starfighter stuff, as our main opponents will be people coming in from elsewhere, particularly Hutt reinforcements or escape attempts.
Hopefully our crab synths are badass enough they can take down these droid enemies. We'll at least get a proper feeling of our foe whatever happens.

I'd have loved to get the canister launcher, but unless the assault goes poorly we won't need it, it's not as assured as mortar and viscerator to get out, and it's less likely to be needed afterwards than anti-starfighter stuff, as our main opponents will be people coming in from elsewhere, particularly Hutt reinforcements or escape attempts.
Hopefully our crab synths are badass enough they can take down these droid enemies. We'll at least get a proper feeling of our foe whatever happens.

Nevermind, I accounted for that in the before times.

Ah, I'd forgotten things.
Anyway, now I've changed the funny name to the better plan and removed first plan's name and crossed it out, leaving it as a reminder of something that didn't work.
