Not even cosmic horror can dampen the Terran spirit.

Much anyways.

    Its eerily silent. A pulse hits the universe every waking moment, people stare numbly, millions upon millions of them in the fortified remnants of Tarsonis. The walls held, despite what seemed like limitless hordes of Zerg and monsters, they held.

    Amidst shell casings and burnt neosteel live the remnants of humanity, a bare few tens of thousands of souls scattered amidst the proud hulk of a capital. The stars darken, the air grows cold and an eerie sense of impending death rises.

    Then, as the sun which brightens days and heats the world begins to blacken before the eyes of everyone upon it, a hammerblow ripples through existence as forces beyond humanity come to blows. Night alights in strange colours and twisted shapes, veterans of decades of war man rusty guns and smoke cigars kept for just this moment, liquor flows from taps freely as mankind awaits for its doom.

    But nothing happens, the sky bleeds, screams echo through space, those gifted with psionic potential shiver and sweat in their nightmare-ridden sleeps. Once again, humanity passes unnoticed as, just outside the city, a yawning hole in space rips, crackle-edged and terrifying.

    On the other end of it lies a green world, seemingly untouched by war as Tarsonis has. Debates rage, those who wish to go, those who wish to stay, those who do not know what they want. But eventually, the decision is made.

    Terrans march into a new world, bringing with them only the simplest equipment, the very basics that have survived the years of no resupply. Barely a few hundred SCV's remain functional and no military equipment can be coaxed into rising from their eternal posts, having rusted to the floor in some cases.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Green fields are already pierced by SCV spread, mineral patches located around the portal, seeding having taken place seemingly in the time it took us to pass, rich, healthy crystals with significant internal precious materials letting us prepare quickly.

    But without direction, mankind arrives nowhere and to no solution. A debate starts, which rapidly turns into an argument, which quickly evolved into politics.

    Election season begins, a familiar site, sure to soothe the hearts and minds of the fifty thousand souls that have followed us into here.

    Wartime Leader
    Fighting on the frontlines of wars since the start of mankinds expansion, you have a keen mind for war and the people that wage it, but industry and science isn't your forte.
    3d6 War
    2d6 Diplomacy
    1d8 Industry
    1d6 Technology

    Academia
    Atoms, particles, waves and academic rigours are your trade of choice. As a human of science, you have dedicated your life to the discovery of the universe!
    3d6 Technology
    2d6 Industry
    1d8 Diplomacy
    1d6 War

    Industrialist
    By the power of a firm guiding vision, good sense and a macro-level direction of Terrans, you overcame the challenges before you, along with all the Siege Tanks you can make with all those!
    3d6 Industry
    2d6 War
    1d8 Technology
    1d6 Diplomacy

    If you are a graduate of the Ghost Programme, replace a stat with 2d6 Psychic. You can no longer contribute to that thing due to Ghost Programme trauma.

    Yes this takes place in the same universe as Cacophony I'm a madman what about it.

    Do like this.

    Name: Gabriel Archer
    Origin: Academia
    Promise: To reclaim what we lost, and expand further!

    Gabriel: It is better to have a council.
     
    Name: Maxwell Priett
    Origin: Industrialist
    Promise: To exploit the natural resources on our new world, steward the reconstruction of the economy, and create a new home from which to pioneer and homestead the stars, once again.

    [X] Maxwell Priett

    Maxwell: Our industry is in shambles, what's left of us as a people in disarray. If we are to become starfarers once again, we need a safe haven to roam from, and I will do everything in my power to give it.
     
    Name: Hugh Mann
    Origin: Industrialist (Ghost Programme: Replace Diplomacy)
    Promise: Industrialize. Cyber Zerg will surely work this time.

    [X] New Council:
    -[X][Military Commander] Thomas Hawthorne
    -[X][Industrial Managment] Maxwell Priett
    -[X][Academic Director] Gabriel Archel

    Gabriel Archel: It is much better if we work together than one man being in charge. It can create problems for all of us if the person in charge becomes power-hungry or delusional and believes they need to lead.
     
    Maxwell: I'm all for political council, but I'd prefer that I choose my own partners as needs be. I don't mind Millson as a coalition partner, but I think my other opponents are looking too far forward with too few resources. We have no military, we have no industry, we're lucky to have a hundred and change SCVs to service the labor needs of a planet's-worth of refugees, and will also need to balance those pressing economic needs against the nakedness of our armed forces.

    With all that considered, why push for the stars when it will take all we've got just to push for basic needs and defense?

    Gabriel: We don't know the dangers of the world, we don't know if there is Zerg or Protoss presence or the possibility of it being in the future. And even if we don't start with proper military, we can at least start with training standard PDF and researching this new world.

    Hawthorne: I am fully in agreement. We must start with the basics and build ourselves up before we can look to the stars once more. My initial proposal is simple. Devote twenty percent of our scvs to building barracks to train a marine force. Then split the remaining SCVs between building up our factories and building new homes for our populace.

    OOC: I'd give better numbers, but we don't even know what our population is yet.

    Millson: I would be more than willing to work with you. And Hawthorne its good to see you alive once more. We should set up a proper vote if the three of us are working as one.
     
    OOC: On further examination of the rules and discussion with the QM I think we will probably have to forgo any kind of research on the first turn. We don't have enough resources to build housing, a barracks, and a science lab and still have anything left over for a marine company.
