I'm a bit leery of the aid in secret thing. That would make it a major issue if they at any point want to stop being refugees and transition to being immigrants.

It's best if it's secret. Having it get aired out without acclimatization, not to mention the government kerfuffle that could occur if it's revealed will just cause more harm to the refugees than anything. There's also lingering tension between the groups and personally I don't trust the UK government with this simply because they probably won't know what to do. At best we can them naturalized then have them settle somewhere nice before announcing them. At worst we can quickly move in to fix any problems that occur.

ok, and what happens if they want to leave on their own schedule? or the council is loathe to drop the secrecy once we have it established? or, it turns out hiding the existence of nearly twenty thousand beings who may or may not go along with this, is hard and word gets out?
Secrecy here is to fragile and the consequences of it breaking, or hell, becoming politically expensive to break, are significant. Do you think a situation that starts with a group of refugees haveing their existence declared secret ends well? I'd rather deal with a problem now than the far worse ones that would arise from secrecy breaking.

Honestly, the only reason I can think of why we shouldn't ask for help is the lack of translation causing issues with communication. But the possible scandal if the news breaks that we keep first contact with a human-like species secret outweighs that.

[MEME] Keep them secret while building up the Antarctic base into a planned city to house them under UNDC jurisdiction in neutral territory
I am fully aware that this is not a good idea for a whole host of reasons, I just like the idea of building a city in Antarctica.

I just think that announcing it so soon is a bad idea since we have no idea on even what there language is yet like we need to protect these guys they have no knowledge of our world will be like baby rabbits in a hawk sanctuary for a long while. Also I just have the feeling that the other organizations will have bad eggs that will not give good impressions of us.

I think it's worth being more transparent in this case, not just ethically but also the fact that we'll have some tough questions to answer if they get reverse-isekaied somewhere else.

The original post says 'Organise Immediate Emergency Aid for the Refugees' which, as the GM explained earlier in the thread, means this is a temporary measure. Immediate Emergency is pretty clearly stating this is how we are handling caring for the refugees right now. We have people who are responsible for security of the Cairngorm region and know how to minimise the chance of provoking the spirits in the forest. We have a linguistic team set up and working on understanding their language. Handing the job of looking after these refugees in the long term is not what we are deciding here - this decision is just about right here, right now.

I'd rather kick the can down the road a bit, at least until we can more or less translate their language. We can reveal that they arrived some time ago and we've been quietly taking care of them.
Personally, what I'd like is to do this and quietly inform the UN Security Council nations of what has happened, that we're working on understanding their language and figuring out where these refugees actually come from and whether it represents a threat. That way, there are fewer unpleasant surprises, and what's being kept secret is being kept secret from the general public (who are likely to be angry at their governments), not our immediate employers (who are likely to be angry at us).

Q4 2014
A Secret…For Now
Providing emergency aid to the 18 thousand malnourished, confused, and scared people has been a challenge with the currently insurmountable language, cultural and partly even anatomical barriers. The Administration needed to procure and transport everything to Cairngorm, which practically is in the middle of nowhere, and without raising many questions: Buildings, materials for improvised housing that can keep warm in the approaching cold winter months, sanitary installations and whatever purpose they need, food, water, medicine, clothing and much more. The increased activity has raised questions from media outlets critical of the UNDC, but with the area being a mandate zone the administration can ignore accusations of all kinds. Additionally providing medical care has been…difficult, to say the least. Not only do a large majority of them suffer from malnutrition, but also intestinal parasites, lice and a large list of other bacterial infections. These can be easily fought with antibiotics or other remedies, but both the extreme quarantine measures and the language difference makes treatments difficult. More than once has it come to fights over misunderstandings because of syringes, MRI- or x-ray machines, etc that had to be solved by "Hardtmann's gorillas" as one report put it. More disconcerting are the large amounts of combat wounds and amputations primarily found among the remaining adult male population. This combined with the fact that there is an almost one to two disparity between adult men and women supports the theory that the group fled from some horrific conflict and somehow, possibly deliberately, was stranded here. More confusingly they are anatomically and genetically almost identical to earth humans, aside from the changed auditory apparatus, enlarged canines and functional tails, with gene markers suggesting they got separated from the global gene pool around five thousand years ago. The fact that the culture shock for the arrivals has been just as great, if not greater, and they are confused about just about everything, from electric devices, to cars to guns to the fact the UNDC has build an entire town for them out of nothing in less than a month has not made the situation better. They seem almost defeated by what they have encountered.
Fiery Munitions
The ASR has overall approved of the new incendiary munitions, finding them generally safe to use and reliable and has rolled them out across their teams for use with 0.50 caliber rifles. At the same time, testing the munitions reliability for machine guns has begun in the incendiary experimental group. No matter the result, South American military forces have begun stockpiling these munitions in large numbers as preparation for what everyone assumes is an inevitable large-scale conflict between the forest's spirits and humanity.

Ushuaia is the globally southmost city and thus the perfect location for an air base to support the UNDC Antarctic effort.
(0/285 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics ++, Maintenance +++ +, Security-)(counts as Logistical Airport)
[]Ellsworth Port (South Atlantic)
Ellsworth is one of the few good locations to build a port in the Antarctic, as a number of bare rock features peek out of the icy shelf. Construction here will be expensive and complicated due to the missing local infrastructure and icy temperatures all year around.
(0/240 30 Resources per Die, Requires ++ available logistics per Die(is not consumed))(Security -)
[]Rail and Road Expansion (Phase 6)
Road and rail remain the unloved children of logistics, not as fast as air, not as efficient as shipping, they are nevertheless important and capable of moving large amounts of cargo between UNDC locations, with the added bonus of being free infrastructure for whatever nation they were constructed in.
(51/285 15 Resources per Die)(Logistics +++ ++)(+3 CS)
[]Logistical Airport Construction
While every UNDC airport will be able to both host and service combat aircraft the primary use of these sites will be the transport and transfer of cargo and personnel.
-[](Write-in Country or "QM", for QM's discretion)(0/90 25 Resources per Die)(Logistics ++, Maintenance +, Security -)(Increases Logistics from Cargo Aircraft)
[]Maintenance and Supply Air Base Expansion
Planes and jets are maintenance hungry machines that require the right infrastructure, facilities and experts to service them. Access to sufficient facilities can greatly enhance the effectiveness of UNDC operations in the region.

[]Auxiliary Shipyards
Part of the license acquisition program was also the purchase of several commonly used auxiliary ship designs, both for containers and liquid goods. With the UNDC's funding, nothing stands in the way of constructing their own yards, and while their primary use will be maintenance, they will be fitted for construction as well.
-[](Write-in Country/City or "QM", for QM's discretion)(0/200 25 Resources per Die)(Maintenance ++ +, Logistics --, Security -)(Increases RpD of UNDC Auxiliary Fleet, but reduces Progress cost)
[]UNDC Auxiliary Ship Fleet (Phase 4)
Transport via sea remains the most effective and cost efficient, but also the slowest, way of bulk shipping. To transport tanks, troops and supplies across the globe in strategically relevant amounts, the UNDC will need to increase their fleet.
(18/225 60 Resources per Die)(Logistics ++++ +++ +, Maintenance -- -, Fuel ---)
[]Utility Vehicle Production Complexes (Can use Military Dice)
Apart from ships there is also the need for vehicles and aircraft to supply the growing needs of the global army. Multi Use production complexes, more similar to small industrial cities, have been proposed to support the construction and maintenance of further expansion of the UNDC utility car and plane pool.

Air shipping has become more and more important in the last few decades. While expensive compared to other options, it is also the fastest, able to transport cargo and passengers across the whole world in mere hours.
(91/150 80 Resources per Die)(Logistics +++++ +, Maintenance -- -, Fuel ----)
[-]NBC Deconstruction Operations (Phase 2)
With war having returned once more to the region, conducting time and resource intensive decontamination operations are too dangerous.
(171/200 25 Resources per Die)(+2 CS)
[]Fuel Extraction and Refining Expansion (Phase 8)
While some advanced fuel infrastructure is in place, it is far from enough. The UNDC will need more pumps, pipelines and refineries to achieve fuel independence.

(Requires one Die, 25 Resources per Die)(Dice used here require 1 less Admin Cap)
[]UNDC Animal Capture Teams
Many of the beast and animal-like creatures should be able to be handled with primitive methods, like using water- or sound-cannons to steer them into large cages. Access to live specimens should assist the UNDC in figuring out the limits of these creatures and hopefully enable use of anaesthetics once their resistances have been tested.
(0/200 20 Resources per Die)(+3 CS)
[]Psychological Health Service
PTSD and other trauma induced disorders are one of the greatest challenges faced by any military. By offering professional mental health services we can not only increase morale and reduce burnout of staff, but also assist in their reintegration once their service ends.
(0/200 10 Resources per Die)(Health ----, Security --, Experts ----)
[]UNDC Veteran Care Office
Military veterans in modern times are among the most disenfranchised. The trauma and experiences of the military machine and war make reintegration into civilian life and jobs difficult. The UNDC can help with this process by offering them an ear for their or their families' issues, and resources for additional support.
(0/300 10 Resources per Die)(Health --, Security -, -100 yearly budget)
[]Staff Training Centres
At the current time the UNDC still gets most of their staff with the assistance of the Council nations until the end of the current cycle. With the creation of their own training centres for lower level staff the UNDC can begin the first steps towards independence.
(0/150 15 Resources per Die)(Security --)

With a major force expansion far away, the UNDC does not need more recruiting infrastructure at the moment.
(23/200 10 Resources per Die)(++ Experts, ++ Officers at the beginning of a plan)
[ ]Medical Support Ships (Phase 2)
With their own yards, the UNDC can begin construction of specialised medical support ships. More swimming hospitals than anything else, they can be deployed near a coast anywhere in the world, supporting whatever mission the UNDC is tasked with, be it humanitarian or military.
(80/450 20 Resources per Die)(Medical Capacity +++ +, Logistics +, Maintenance -, Fuel --, Experts ---)(Dice allocation in Service/Industry Dice pairs)

[]UNDC Global Positioning Constellation
GPS has transformed modern navigation and combat, but the system is owned by the USA and access to the codes that unlock its highest accuracy depends on their goodwill. If the UN is to become independent from single nation state members, they will require their own system.
(0/150 50 Resources per Die)(Priority: Army, Navy, Air Force, DCSec)
[]Orbital Surveillance Constellation (Phase 1)
Satellites using high resolution optical and infrared cameras to gather intelligence have been in use since the cold war. With the increased scope of UNDC military operations, the time has come for the UNDC to establish their own satellite constellation dedicated towards that task for both military and security purposes.
(0/150 50 Resources per Die)(Orbital Bandwidth -- -, Security +++)(Priority: Army, Navy, Air Force, DCSec)
[]Targeting Satellite Constellation
Modern cruise and other long range missiles can update their target trajectories in real time. By linking up the targeting systems with an orbital radar constellation, target acquisition and tracking can be improved considerably.
(0/500 50 Resources per Die)(Orbital Bandwidth ----)
[]Orbital Communications Constellation (Phase 1)
Simple radio receiver-sender satellites are the lifeblood of orbital and global communications. If properly networked in large numbers they can enable almost untraceable communication from one point of the earth to another.

South America is preparing for direct conflict with the hostile forest spirits. As the global security and peacekeeping force, the UNDC can prepare for their part of the potential conflict, by constructing the infrastructure to support peacekeeping and other military forces ahead of time.
(0/200 15 RpD)(Logistics ---, Maintenance ++, Health -)
[]Caseless Ammunition Experiment Program
Caseless ammunition is a weapon-cartridge that eliminates the case that typically holds the primer, propellant and projectile together as a unit. Instead, the propellant and primer are fitted to the projectile in another way so that a case is not needed.
Caseless ammunition is an attempt to reduce the weight and cost of ammunition by dispensing with the case, which is typically precision made of brass or steel, as well as to simplify the operation of repeating guns by eliminating the need to extract and eject the empty case after firing. Some projects have been undertaken in the closing stages of the cold war, but since then the technology has been put on ice due to the high costs involved in maturing the technology.
(0/150 40 Resources per Die)(Experts --)(Dice used here require 1 less Admin Cap)
[]Passive Exoskeleton Deployment
With the project having ironed out its kinks and the designs given to the ASDEU, nothing stands in the way of deploying the tech to soldiers in the field to support their logistical efforts. As an added bonus the exoskeleton should help soldiers with leg or back injuries recover more easily by taking some strain of them.
(87/200 20 Resources per Die)(Maintenance -, Logistics ++, Health ++ +)
[]Lycain Weaponization Experimental Program
While the downsides to Lycanthropy are massive, the upsides are equally beneficial. If even a small fraction of the regenerative factor displayed by the infected could be isolated for general use, soldiers could shrug off even the most traumatic injuries.

(0/170 Stage 3 reserve)
[]HE Shell Factory Plants (Phase 1)
With the total expansion of artillery vehicles in the military's arsenal the UNDC requires a large ramp up of shell production, especially the simple high explosive variety.

Air Force
[]ASM/AGM Missile Factories (Phase 1)
In addition to bombs, air-to-surface and air-to-ground missiles further enhance the Airforce capabilities. While being more expensive, they fill a different niche, being a mixture of more accurate, longer range, better tracking, or just in the form of pods of unguided rockets.
(0/250 25 Resources per Die)(Ammo +++ +, Logistics -- -, Security -)
[]Aerial Bomb Factories (Phase 2)
The arsenal of the UNDC Airforce contains a large number of both guided and unguided aerial bombs. The increase of the carrier based air force requires an additional increase of bomb production.

[]Plasma Injection Engine Development
The Torch project was originally a shelved US air force project for an engine that could offer increased performance and efficiency at higher throttle rates by injecting a classified hypergolic additive into the combustion chamber. It never went above a workable prototype due to the hard to control reaction, but chief engineer Shen believes it is possible to remedy past issues with modern advances in electronics and material science. The result could be a vastly increased performance for future UNDC aircraft, replacing fuel guzzling afterburners with much more efficient Torches. The current hope is that Sokolov brings the development on the way, so it can be integrated into the B-3 and the as of yet unnamed multi-role jet project.

With the role as a peacekeeping and security force apparent, General Wu wants a next generation fighter plane to fit into that role: Reliable, fast and with a large payload capacity to be able to provide air support quickly. As part of the current fleet agenda, compatibility with the supercarrier program, or at least a carrier compatible variant, has been added to the requirements.

[]DEW-Point Defense Development Program
The Experimental Program has born fruit and completed a functioning prototype. Based on a liquid-helium medium, the size, weight, power and cooling requirements however mean the only platforms that could support it are stationary or navy vessels. It will require more work to integrate the laser and the needed support systems into a functioning PD-system.

[]Artillery Railgun System Development Program
Over the last months the experimental group has ironed out most failures of the railgun concept and produced a working prototype. However, a gun firing only kinetic penetrators is of little use to a ship mounted weapon and as such a new type of ammunition, one with internal and satellite guidance and maneuver capabilities is one half of the program while the other one is refining the railgun system for use on a naval vessel.

[]Naval Artillery Shell Production Complexes (Phase 2 FInal Phase for now)
Naval guns have not changed much since the end of the second World War. Usually multi-purpose, they are built to fire a variety of shells for anti-aircraft defence, anti-ship combat, and shore bombardment fire support, though those roles have largely been taken over by guided missiles.

[]CIWS Munitions Plants (Phase 1)
Close-in-weapon-systems are close range point defense weapons meant to destroy incoming missiles and enemy aircraft. There are two types: A gun-based CIWS uses rapid-firing cannons placed on a rotating turret. Missile-based CIWSs use either infra-red, passive radar/ESM, or semi-active radar terminal guidance to guide missiles to the targeted enemy aircraft or other threats.

[]Vertical Launch Munitions Assembly Plants (Phase 1)
Cruise missiles are guided missiles that remain in the atmosphere and fly the major portion of its flight path at approximately constant speed. Cruise missiles are designed to deliver a large warhead over long distances with high precision. Modern cruise missiles are capable of travelling at supersonic or high subsonic speeds, are self-navigating, and are able to fly on a non-ballistic, extremely low-altitude trajectory.

[]Frigate Yard Construction
With most of the current UNDC yards prepped for maintenance, repair, cargo transfer and resupplying, completely new yards will need to be built first for in-house construction, upgrades and refits. At 150 meters these ships will be on the smaller side, but each one still represents a major military infrastructure and industrial project, requiring multiple facilities worth of construction, storage and assembly halls as well as cranes and other auxiliary machinery.

[]Security Review(Write-in Category)
While currently not clear who would want to infiltrate the UNDC it is clear that doing so is certainly a prospect to some actors to gain insight into the day to day operations of the organisation. A full security review of one department of operations can mitigate or discover infiltration, however it will take a significant amount of effort.

The net cannon prototype is a large and cumbersome device, so large in fact that it is not meant to be carried by a human operator, but stay mounted on a tripod or a vehicle. The net it fires is woven from dense, cut and rip resistant kevlar strains. However, the prototype still has severe mechanical problems which will need to be addressed.

[]Attempt to have the Council relieve Torres of duty
While the Council seems to consider the matter of the incident in Rio de Janeiro closed, you can still attempt to have Torres fired for disregarding the UNDC's chain of command or causing the death of innocents. However, since the Director won't support you on this and it was the Council who approved the Peacekeeper deployment in the first place, Sokolovs knows this is very likely to backfire.

A Secret…For Now
Providing emergency aid to the 18 thousand malnourished, confused, and scared people has been a challenge with the currently insurmountable language, cultural and partly even anatomical barriers. The Administration needed to procure and transport everything to Cairngorm, which practically is in the middle of nowhere, and without raising many questions: Buildings, materials for improvised housing that can keep warm in the approaching cold winter months, sanitary installations and whatever purpose they need, food, water, medicine, clothing and much more. The increased activity has raised questions from media outlets critical of the UNDC, but with the area being a mandate zone the administration can ignore accusations of all kinds. Additionally providing medical care has been…difficult, to say the least. Not only do a large majority of them suffer from malnutrition, but also intestinal parasites, lice and a large list of other bacterial infections. These can be easily fought with antibiotics or other remedies, but both the extreme quarantine measures and the language difference makes treatments difficult. More than once has it come to fights over misunderstandings because of syringes, MRI- or x-ray machines, etc that had to be solved by "Hardtmann's gorillas" as one report put it. More disconcerting are the large amounts of combat wounds and amputations primarily found among the remaining adult male population. This combined with the fact that there is an almost one to two disparity between adult men and women supports the theory that the group fled from some horrific conflict and somehow, possibly deliberately, was stranded here. More confusingly they are anatomically and genetically almost identical to earth humans, aside from the changed auditory apparatus, enlarged canines and functional tails, with gene markers suggesting they got separated from the global gene pool around five thousand years ago. The fact that the culture shock for the arrivals has been just as great, if not greater, and they are confused about just about everything, from electric devices, to cars to guns to the fact the UNDC has build an entire town for them out of nothing in less than a month has not made the situation better. They seem almost defeated by what they have encountered.
Fiery Munitions
The ASR has overall approved of the new incendiary munitions, finding them generally safe to use and reliable and has rolled them out across their teams for use with 0.50 caliber rifles. At the same time, testing the munitions reliability for machine guns has begun in the incendiary experimental group. No matter the result, South American military forces have begun stockpiling these munitions in large numbers as preparation for what everyone assumes is an inevitable large-scale conflict between the forest's spirits and humanity.

[]Caseless Ammunition Experiment Program
Caseless ammunition is a weapon-cartridge that eliminates the case that typically holds the primer, propellant and projectile together as a unit. Instead, the propellant and primer are fitted to the projectile in another way so that a case is not needed.
Caseless ammunition is an attempt to reduce the weight and cost of ammunition by dispensing with the case, which is typically precision made of brass or steel, as well as to simplify the operation of repeating guns by eliminating the need to extract and eject the empty case after firing. Some projects have been undertaken in the closing stages of the cold war, but since then the technology has been put on ice due to the high costs involved in maturing the technology.

[]Passive Exoskeleton Deployment
With the project having ironed out its kinks and the designs given to the ASDEU, nothing stands in the way of deploying the tech to soldiers in the field to support their logistical efforts. As an added bonus the exoskeleton should help soldiers with leg or back injuries recover more easily by taking some strain of them.

[]Plasma Injection Engine Development
The Torch project was originally a shelved US air force project for an engine that could offer increased performance and efficiency at higher throttle rates by injecting a classified hypergolic additive into the combustion chamber. It never went above a workable prototype due to the hard to control reaction, but chief engineer Shen believes it is possible to remedy past issues with modern advances in electronics and material science. The result could be a vastly increased performance for future UNDC aircraft, replacing fuel guzzling afterburners with much more efficient Torches. The current hope is that Sokolov brings the development on the way, so it can be integrated into the B-3 and the as of yet unnamed multi-role jet project.

Over the last months the experimental group has ironed out most failures of the railgun concept and produced a working prototype. However, a gun firing only kinetic penetrators is of little use to a ship mounted weapon and as such a new type of ammunition, one with internal and satellite guidance and maneuver capabilities is one half of the program while the other one is refining the railgun system for use on a naval vessel.
