I will say, even if the Titan Symphosium is going down hard, they're also now facing the full attention of three local powers, and we brought a God Machine and his mosh team to the party.

EDIT: That being said, that new subsector? That is fucking Bait, 72 systems in a single subsector? Who the fuck controls the other four, and why didn't the Duelists colonize it?

Yeah this looks great! The only thing that I may suggest is maybe consider swapping out the Improved Medical Equipment + Warcasket Improvements for Sigils, but having better stuff to greet the Lamenters back with among others seems like not a bad either.

But honestly, finally eating the Watchtowers makes this a plan I'll vote for anyways lol.

>Lands of Holy Death

Dunno :V

I figure that we'd have some IC scouting going on though to figure out anything truly fucky-wucky though. Actually, what do our scouts know about it @HeroCooky?

Though the Mashan Temple Authority had already reached the core of this depraved cult, their horrific weaponry and perfidious tactics had ensured that little progress could be made, and what could be done was re-taken within moments.

Yikes, so that's why the map's largely remained static.

Yet, beyond that, the might of the Federation added one minor note to the Titans journeying through its lands into that of the Symphosium: that of the Hope Ascendant.

Their first showing was simultaneously the last breath taken by the Hive World of Gugutu, the mightiest of the bastions encountered by the forces of order, where their monumental steps left behind lakes to be filled by rain and hand in the coming decades, every stride taking them closer to the center of resistance, where the armies of the Grove and Federation stilled to pray before the coming of an Avatar of the Omnissiah-And-Emperor manifest. Before that center of Hives, with its spires ranging higher than themselves, the Hope Ascendant's Machine Spirit roared its challenge against the heretics, the cultists, and the daemons.

And the Symphosium answered in terror. Weaponry ranging from horrific to prolific were unleashed, sonic emitters used to shatter war machines and liquify people joined with missiles and barrages of artillery, a rain of deadly projectiles small and gargantuan clasped hand in hand against this monster, with even nuclear warheads thrown against the Titan...

And it was all for naught.

Ascendant merely flipped around their club, one fashioned in the image of ancient weaponry used by honorable warriors, and plunged its thin and studded with spikes body into the ground, leaving it to stand upright before themselves, just to raise their hand with an Ion Gauntlet...and take all of the attacks with ease. Explosions, mundane and nuclear, washed over the avatar of the Machine God, accomplishing nothing, and left behind only despair in the defenders and cheering cries of hope in the breast of the attackers.

Yet, it had taken an attack. Now..., it was its turn.

And Gugutu would not stand beyond that day as Hope Ascendant took their club once more and marched against Hives, their Five-Sided Halo gently floating behind their body pulsing with pristine light that obliterated all incoming projectiles one by one.

THAT BEING SAID, HOLY FUCKING KINO LOL

Definitely glad I suggested breaking out that party favor, that was so fucking cool

Literally "talk to the hand" and "okay now it's my turn"

God, what a fucking machine. I hope we make more.

Also glad I made the club. Maybe it's got Grav-hammer enhancements or whatnot, but when you operate on that scale... sometimes all you really need is a big fucking hammer.

Anyways, so long as we grab the dang Watchtowers I'm happy as a clam. If Cult's still alive next turn, let's have our final Star Navy Primacy turn end with a bang.
 
lets not forget to make a emperor class titian...and name it the FIST OF THE STARCHILD!!!

why? because we can consecrate it for the tiny lad to manifest temporairly in the material plane. Basically build the tiny one a war-machine to kick chaos ass in the material plane!
also star child is off doing side quests...shame we got only milk chocolate...seriously though whats up with these rolls?

-[] Hexagrammic Grammophone (1/5)
An...idea, a mad one, created by some of the Msk'fa who were powerful enough to join the Celestial Choir, and who had the fortune to be well-versed in their people's history. The Hexagrammic Grammophone has one job, and it is projected to be able to achieve it: Sing on its own with pre-recorded Melodies. That ability...it is to vast to speculate about.

Huh, this went up by 1. Damn, okay, I guess we might've salvaged something from the Titan Symphosia

Yeah, fuck it, bite the bullet and colonize it. If something comes up, we've got the last Star Nation Primacy turn to build enough shit after grabbing the Watchtowers to take care of things and put the Cult to bed. With Green Horizons ensuring there's no vulnerability, I think we'll be good.
 
Daaaaamnnn...........they got their shit rocked.


Now we can go ahead and focus on expanding into our new 72-system-strong sub-sector, like holy fuck that's a lot of land we can just yoink.

Federation going to be absolutely beefed up real soon.

Plus, the name roughly translates to "Land of Death". How much more dangerous compared to the (already high) norm does a subsector need to be to get a name like that?
 
Now that I've posted the Vox update, let's get back to this plan. We actually have half an action leftover from Class is in Session, which produces a +150% boost. So... I'm putting that into melodies. Either it'll trigger the auto-ticker, which will give us Love II, or it'll give us 3 actions on its own, which should be Love II,

[] Plan: Cheeky Symphonies for a cheeky warp
-[-] [General] Integrate The New Territories (2/17) (action 1)
-[] [FREE] Consecrate In Sacred Sand (Zu-khan)
-[] [FREE] Using Love Unto Death as a source of choirs, completely activate Class is in session (60 choirs), The Devouring Mechadendrite (20 choirs), Glint of Genius (40 choirs) and Unto Works Generational (50 choirs). All spare Choirs should end up in Love Unto Death. We may stop swapping them around quite so much going forward.
-[] [Psykana] Sing a Symphony (action 2)
--[] Cry for the Future
-[] [Psykana] Sing a Symphony (Choose Five Songs) (class is in session action)
--[] The Symphony of Loving Care - Dirge for the Innocent, The Healer's Star, Bound to the Stars, Unto Works Generational, Love Unto Death
-[] [Psykana] Conduct three Melodies - half action from Class is in session
--[] Upgrade Love Melody if autoticker, or Love II, Harmony II, Time II if we can do 3.
-[] [General] [Free] Ministry of Subversion, Infiltration, and Interstellar Communication
--[] [AUTOMATIC] Improve Relations
---[] Swap Watchtower Confederacy to Mashan Temple Authority
-[] [General] Research: (action 3 + Glint of Genius action)
--[] Improved Medical Equipment - (1/2)
--[] Warcasket Improvements (1/2)
-[] Integrate The Watchtower Confederacy (1/2) (Cry for the Future action 1)
-[] Integrate The Watchtower Confederacy (2/2) (Cry for the Future action 2)
-[] [General] Colonize (Devouring Mechadendrite action)
--[] Tierras de la Santa Muerte (68/72 Systems)

It's likely that Tierras de la Santa Muerte is a trap, but we're planning 5 military actions next turn, so if we need to throw one in that direction we'll live.

And next plan we'll turn off Cry for the Future and leave on the symphony we get from The Symphony of Loving Care
