Tendrils crit failed. Ain't that fucking great?!
Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition

We do deserve to exist.
Eh, it's fine. A single Nat 1 on a project with so many dice tends to have fairly minor effects.

Yeah, there's 8 dice on Tendrils, it's a category we have a high Bonus on, and several of the dice in that "pool" were 90+. I think we'll be okay.
Maybe. But it was also an attempt to rush a 1350 deployment in 2 quarters. The most likely result would be delaying it at least a quarter. Depending how much progress the crit fail cost us.

I think Bogatyr finished, and Portals all but certainly finished.

Well:
We're hopefully not going to lack for funds for the next two turns, we're well on the way to the next fusion phase if we need more Energy than Crystal Beam can supply, Crystal Beam itself significantly overperformed which clears more room for scientific research and other undertakings in Heavy Industry.
I don't think Ranching Domes finished (unsurprisingly- 42% chance of completion), so we end up needing another die and three months on that.
Minimal progress on the granaries. We are now really behind schedule on that project.
Critical failure on Tendrils Phase 2, which is bad, but as much to the point, we rolled 402+312 = 724 points of Progress, which should complete the phase. So hopefully the crit-failure doesn't stop us from getting the phase completion.
Enterprise performed above expectations- significantly so.
PORTALS FINISHED! This is a huge deal and means a lot more money going into the piggy bank.
Nod research did not finish. Bogatyr research did. All the Military dice projects rolled poorly, so we now have relatively high requirements for completing those.
Oh. And we owe the Space Force about 12 dice of mandatory Plan target projects we haven't touched yet. No ASAT work done. No OSRCT work done since before Steel Vanguard.
The orbital power armored space pirate chickens are gonna come home to roost now.
I think I just watched my hopes of as Zone Armor rollout in 2061 die, though, looking at those Military dice rolls.

The civilians don't look very satisfied.

Man, that 99 on Pinholes is just taunting us about missing out on the crit...
Ehh, we'll live.
And yeah, the nat 1 on tendrils will hurt, but hopefully the high rolls we got there will mitigate it enough.
So maybe stuff like needing to throw more dice at it/needing a turn or two to get the benefit.
Again, we'll live.
Especially with having a spare 100R to work with now that the pinholes are done early.

Portals finished. That's the biggest stroke of good luck for this quarter.
We aren't rolling for what public opinion is, we're rolling for how well we surveyed it. That's a 74+96 = 170 when the highest DC was 180, so I'm not too worried.
Well, the unexpected most-of-100 R windfall from not having to do another portal die in Q3 means that even if we don't get the money from tendrils, we're in the same budget situation we'd hoped to be with tendrils.
WELP.
To be fair, if we were gonna roll this out on a global scale, hiding the tech from Nod was always going to be impractical in the long run. The only reason we don't know how harvester claws work is because we didn't know how to make them since they involve Nod's xenotech bullshit material science (though no STUs, just them gitting gud with the regular periodic table)

Lighten up a little, my friend.
I was gonna say that this doesn't seem like that much of a fail, but then one has to consider that Nod does have a fair few expensive toys that having better Tib harvesting would make a lot more common for our military to run into.
Then again, us having better Tib harvesting means we have more expensive toys to throw back at the noddies too.
So... Status Quo successfully maintained, I suppose.

Just look at as more abatement in Nod territory. And with how the mutation rolled, that's probably a good thing overall.

I hope so, but we have no way of being sure at this point. The goal of getting any Zone Armor rolled out this year just got a lot harder to make happen.
The problem is that tendril harvesters don't seem to abate very well... Wait. if they replace Nod harvesters with something that actually hoovers up all the surface tiberium instead of leaving some behind to reseed, then maybe that would help.
Silver linings.

Well at least we didn't get a nat 1 on portals in that case.

7 points off an Omake finish.
A quick Anydice shows Enterprise only needs, at most, 10 dice for a 99%+ completion. Meaning we rolled so well this turn, we don't need any Free Dice in Orbital for the next two turns!
We had a lot of bad rolls in Military, but hopefully this makes up for it.

All in free dice to military plans next quarter. Sad about the Ranching Domes not finishing but it seems that only one dice next quarter is needed.
Also, since we have no further Infragoals and we have enough housing. Any chance we can go all in to either Chicago (for Cap and Con goods) or Shuttles?
