Why are we putting Anexa on research instead of doing the edu action, actually?

At least I'm putting her there fishing for a crit. Can't speak what Alectai's thoughts on this are. Anyway, it might give her a specialty on the subject, this being cybernetics/brain-augmentation. Also, flavor, because she has shown to be very interested in cybernetics for her own augmentations. Even after being told about the juvenat.
We could still do it with just Vita, but narratively it feels better to get her actively involved in creating her own augmentations.

[X] Plan: We Make Manufactories To Make Manufactories
I think constructing manufactories is superior over building the space ports right now, because, well, we're not going to be shooting at the Mechanicum next turn. It takes only 2 build actions for the extra manufactories to pay themselves of, which we're certain to get.
Beyond that, the plans are pretty similar, with only a bit of a difference in wording in the mechanicus action.

I should've explained that better. A module for ships to lay mines in space would work. The mines are inactive, making them harder to detect, especially if they're in a debris field, until a hostile ship is detected within a certain distance then the mine activates and flies toward the ship as fast as it can.

[X] Plan: Killsats means Vita will not be going to space today T_T
It might be a little more risky than "We Make Manufactories To Make Manufactories", but I'm worried we might be straying too much into laying the groundwork for the groundwork, which important as it might be should probably be interspersed with more "active" actions (if that makes sense).
Also - brain blast, what if we use those stations as a ready source of space-faring, high-tech materials and components to build our new ship? Just need to not leave with all the void infrastructure in tow. 🤔

I think plan killsat is clear winner by now. I also think we should have Anexa keep just... studying instead of active.
We can have her develop a specialty by other means.
Probably.

I'd like to get ears in what they're chattering about before we try it, but it's a possible option.
Also, yes, it's crit-fishing, fingers crossed that the dice are kind.

That's in my diplomacy action!
Oh. Well shit then give me a second.
Yeah the Imperium is fucked, but it's pretty much the least bad thing out of the whole bunch. The T'au spay their humans, orks are obviously bad, the eldar are assholes, the drukari are bigger assholes, the aliens that WERE nice to humanity is long dead and replaced with the asshole xenos that hates humanity.
IMO if we wanna have alien friends, we should make a mobile super station home for them and have everyone treat the aliens as "third class citizens."
Okay I checked your vote. Is it the 9 count one? I don't see anything any the Emperor, praying, or building a shrine to our glorious overlord.

The Tau are definitely better than the Imperium. Like, even at their worst intepration, they are not even approaching what the Imperium of Man does to its own race.
*Shrug* Probably not a lot of that happening. Vita is an AI from the really early days of mankinds expansion to space, if I've understood correctly. So, value-clash is too extreme for more than temporary alliances of convenience.
And, you know. With Vita being an AI? The Imperial law completely forbids the mere existence of beings like her. And the Mechanicus doctrine says is the literal robo-devil. So we are not going to be allying with the Imperium (or AdMech) any time soon, I think. Even temporary alliances will have to be done through layers of deception, like we have done here.
While I agree there are some good points to their Tau like their Healthcare, cool battlemech, sexy blueberry girls, better armor, better field rations, 401k plans....the fact that they're DIFFERENT is enough for me to PUT THE XENOS TO THE TORCH! But no seriously I know the Imperium is fucked, but I like the Guard and and Rowboat Girlyman more.
Considering the potential for future tech, it'd be pretty easy to disguise herself as an old machine spirit, or make more Avatars with organic components to control. If there are organic parts, that should past muster for most form of scanners.
Oh yeah. Back to the machine spirit thing. She did mention that with enough concentration of machine spirits (ships) that are old enough they could for a consciousness, so in theory making some dummy SUPER ANCIENT AND WISE machine spirit should be easy.
Edit:
Just thinking, it would be easier for Vita to disguise EVERYTHINGas her being a part of an Exploritor fleet. Slap on purity seals, prayers, candles. Just enough for people to think she's not everything the Mechanicus hates. That way she can still trade with most planets. If she's really lucky she could maybe find a Rogue Trader to partner up with.
