Of the three paths Academia Nut offered up, I rather prefer #3. The second is a nomadic group, a bit exceptional in their technological capabilities, admittedly.
Okay, *really* exceptional. Nomadic Standard Template Constructors is a fairly major thing, particularly given a few thousand years to develop and hone them (and go around picking up more STC patterns).
But you'd have to either be a single small group or need to have some way of governing decentralized groups across, well, eventually star systems (that might be a bit afield).
Given an FTL communication method and travel (perhaps through the Webway, or the same kind of thing the Necrons used. Or simply shallow but safe jumps like the Tau) I could see it.
Hmmm.... or however the Jokaero do it; in fact, those orange apes would be great companions for such a tribe. Hell, they were created by the Old Ones as a defense against the Enslaver Plague and the like after the Warp started getting antsy (the other was the Krork, by the by...
)
The first is, well, I wouldn't say *boring*, but it doesn't really inspire.
But the only human psyker tradition we see until the Imperium of Man is Prospero (if you can call it that), and that's not really more then "a bunch of psykers".
===== Turn =====
Well, the turn looks to have a lot of teaching centres build (well, and research); let's see if we can staff them. If we can within a year or two, then we should be in good shape for high-skill labor.
[] Materials Science I 96/300 (2x vote weight)
It's not surprising that they're interested in material science; they *have* pretty decent weapons that've so far served them well, and they're probably privately doing some such research. Rooftop Solar is tempting too, but we *do* already have the industrial and backup fusion reactors. The latter in particular already costs no space.
[] Leave as is
[] Assign to Artificial Intelligence I
[] Networking II
Undecided, but leaning towards more Networking II
[X] Try to work with Mirande specifically (Reminder: gains +1 chance to increase willpower)
[X] Meditate on the alien knowledge
I think we have to go back to the Codex. Ah, the lack of personal actions ;_;
We *are* tutoring Anna, so we're spending quality time with her, remember.
[X] Have her study Grave Keeper's memoirs
I feel like she's advanced enough to probably grasp the memoirs better then we can.
