Jeez, I literally clarified that, the QM confirmed it, I further iterated on it, and nobody cares.
T_T Makes me *frumple* it does.
Well, Meianmaru's post is basically what I would edit it to, it's just a burr in the back of my neck more than something I'm actually upset about.
I've long time ago come to the conclusion that nobody reads anything anywhere. And if they by some miracle do read it, they will misunderstand it. And I'm not exempt from this, even when I try. Better to just assume you should make everything as clear cut as feasible, so that when the confusion happens anyway, it will be at least just the minimum amount.
Also, voting is open:
[X] Plan: Self and Inventory have been Checked, let's get to Adventuring! (V.2.0)
-[X] [Free] Poke around some more in the databases, looking for anything in particular.
--[X] While going through the files you stole from those tech-cultists in hopes of finding way to subvert at least some of them, you came across a term that seemed interesting. "Explorator".
-[X] Diplomacy: Talk to people x2
--[X] It's pretty clear that the Mechanicus are making a mess of things, holding a gun to the people's heads, but it's also pretty darned clear that not everyone likes this. You've done a deep dive into the government datanets and have a pretty good idea on who's who now, find a collaborator--someone with respectable character who you think could keep a secret--and lay
almost all of your cards on the table (with the exception about your nature as an AI). You're a Surveyor from ancient times who's been stuck in stasis until recently, and you'd like very much to get back to the stars, and if you can give a leg up to some folks who have been going through some rough times, all the better. Some political cover to operate more openly will accelerate your timetable dramatically, and based on how limited the Mechanicus' reach seems to be, you'll have some time for your other ploys to start panning out. (Summary: Find a government collaborator, establish a working relationship)
--[X] You refuse to believe a
mystery cult will leave a mystery alone, and while their official policy may be fixed to maximum regression and maintaining their powerbase, you doubt that carries forward to their entire population. Use your access to their systems and your discreet transmission to seed a few interesting breadcrumbs here and there, for the genuinely inquisitive sorts who haven't yet been turned to close-minded conservatives. It'll help you sift out who you can work with, since their current system has
got to go in the long run if this place is going to survive--because seriously, space bugs?
That's a problem. (Summary: Seed a few interesting breadcrumbs for the genuine adventurers who might be suppressed in the Mechanicus Enclaves, to see if we can identify some potential allies among them.)
-[X] Construction x2
--[X] Underground Manufactory (300 BP)
EDIT: Aaand I forgot about the Avatar. Copied Alectai's description:
[X] Avatar: A woman of indeterminate age, a little on the smaller side, but with a warm smile and expressive features to the point you'd never expect her to be a synthetic intelligence more ancient than the Imperium. She has her hair in a long bob, a pair of glasses, and when circumstances don't require her to dress to the occasion, she favors a well pressed uniform of a nation long since forgotten in history, because she's still never had her commission as a Naval Surveyor relinquished and as far as she's concerned, that's how you dress on the job (And she's very often on the job)
