[Battletech] A Life Worth Living For

Where are they now?
Where are they now?

Memorial Garden for those Lost in the Voyage - Earlier in the Revolution the memorial was declared as a neutral ground between both sides. This was done in honor of those Lost but also to establish a meeting ground between the two sides. Both sides would take advantage of this in negotiations. Except for some neglected maintenance the Garden remains as it was.

The Macar Memorial Stadium would be used to house those displaced by the fighting between both factions and as a medical facility. It also would be considered a neutral, civilian target and left alone by both sides.

Prabhat and Mumtaz Gupta would continue to run the Scrumptious Kabab and expand the restaurant. Mumtaz's parents Abdülhamit and Purnima Burakgazi's would lose about a quarter of their lorries in the Revolution along with several drivers. Their families would be cared for by the Gupta's and Burakgazi's with jobs, food and living assistance.

The Widow Cortes would remain in her home, coordinating aid and defense of her community. Many years after she passed away there would be shrines of her in many homes and businesses, showing her dispensing mercy with the right hand and carrying a long knife of punishment in her left.

Abilio Amadeo Mendoza and his wife Flor would raise four healthy children (one boy and three girls) in Raopatnam. On the outside he would be a real estate developer and be involved in construction while his wife taught dancing for women and girls. Unknown to many they would help create the vacation economy of Raopatnam using funds from the Widow Cortes. That is another story.

Damián Guadalupe Fierro would not survive the Revolution, he would be killed by a Police Officer in an encounter. The officer's identity is never found.

The Final Turn
[X] [Second Government] Free At Last - The United Federalist Unions of Lakshmibasti
[X] Conditional Pardons For Non-War-Criminals
[X] Industrial Renewal Initiative
[X] Societal Mending
[X] Endangered Terraformation Preservation
With the civil war over, those who were responsible for the greatest crimes punished, and those who had ordered the most horrendous breaches of the intrinsic rights of all humanity locked away for good, the time came to rebuild and reclaim what was lost during the brief scream of bloodshed that saw sibling against sibling, mother against son, and friends fight against friends all over Lakshmibasti.

One of the first things done by the haphazard assembly of the Unions who fought and the groups of the Burning Hand that were slowly dissolving was the creation of courts that would oversee the trial and prosecution of war criminals and those accused of such actions while a conditional pardon was extended toward those who were guilty of none of these except fighting for a system that had seen so many put down and ignored. The conditions were simple, if harsh; no weapon would ever grace their hands in perpetuity, and they could cast no vote for the next 15 years so that their views could be swayed to the right side without taking away the ability to partake in society fully. Many accepted the conditional pardons with a silent sigh of relief, while others were far more angry, yet the latter could do little to change the outcome, and only a few refused entirely.

But even they could do little as days turned into weeks, blurring into a full year as elections were held, truly free ones unchained by any repression of oppositions, with industries damaged or destroyed by the fighting repaired with all haste, entire industrial parks roaring into a renewed life of an economy suddenly demanding everything and all without rest or care for its feasibility, factories springing up to fulfill the sudden demand for the growing abyss that were the governments industrial, societal, and ecological programs seeking to rectify issues of the past administration and the current issues.

Schools had their curriculum changed to better reflect the reality of the post-war existence while radio, television, and posters went up to advertise the ideal society; the initiatives extended toward those who were left behind and those who saw themselves alienated by the new government, with thousands of work-hours used to repair the comparatively little damage done against the Terra Firma project in an ill-advised naval assault early in the war.

Society was healing, the industry was once more roaring, and the planet barely noticed the disruption in its nascent ecology as the next step was introduced in its biosphere. However, work still remained to be done.

Work always remained to be done.

Last Full Turn Before Epilogue:
(Ranked Choice Voting)
[] [Last Turn] A Meal A Day - [Food]
All civilization is three missed meals away from total collapse and (non-political) anarchy. We must ensure that, even as our food production keeps up with our population boom, we do not fall behind or suffer a few bad harvests and fall into depravity and anarchy from a lack of sustenance.
[] [Last Turn] The Beating Heart - [Industry]
Cry 'Every Hand A Tool And Every Worker Employed' and let slip the planners of industry. We shall not be a backwater once the core reaches out to us again, but the beating heart of a new sphere of expansion that shall rival the greatest of the Earth and beyond.
[] [Last Turn] The Purpose Of Our Struggle - [Construction]
People cannot be people by industry alone; they need theater, schools, libraries, swimming pools, sports centers, and more, always more, to spend time decompressing and enjoying the fruit of their labors. Let it be so, and let us appreciate what we have created.
[] [Last Turn] Wonders Of Tomorrow - [Research]
Research and investigations into better technologies have lain fallow these past few decades, but no longer! No longer shall we only advance in a few areas that do little to move the whole, but a great leap forward will take place in universities and centers of research that shall make us the envy of humanity!
[] [Last Turn] Education Campaign - [Culture]
While we have won the war and are fighting for peace, we have yet to win it fully. People are still stuck in the thinking of the past, believing lies and non-truths wrapped in comforting lies disguised as reality, and it is up to us to wake them up. It is up to us to build the next generation what they deserve, and that ensures that the current one knows what they have been fighting for and against.
[] [Last Turn] Spread The Revolution - [Space]
While outrage at the idea of a prison colony was one of the factors that drove many recruits into the palm of the Burning Hand, the concept itself isn't hated by many. Indeed, it is entertained by most! With the resources gained, we should be able to repair what ships we have mothballed and build up a JumpShip capacity once more within the century!
[] [Last Turn] Autonomous Soldiers - [Military]
The ability to interlock and communicate firing solutions and enemy movements has been attributed as one of the primary reasons why the liberation war lasted so short, yet the capability of autonomous weapons such as turrets to act on their initiative regardless of input put the fear of unerring accuracy into the hearts and minds of many. So much so that the current crop of generals and military planners demand that a new machine be created, one capable of operating alongside soldiers and acting without their input. In short, a military drone.
[] [Last Turn] Contact Once More - [Exploration]
It has been too long since we talked with the majority of humanity. Time to see what we have missed and what technologies we can acquire.
[] [Last Turn] Flexible Automatry - [Feline Metalwork Incorporated]
Thanks to FMI's efforts in re-creating the underlying fundamentals of our entire programming structure, and its work in applying the same principles to the real world, the next step could be a destructive advancement in weapons that aren't needed right now, or they could be in the improvement of our industrial capacity and capability to better weather disruptions, breakdowns, or hostile actions by ensuring we can re-tool an ice-cube factory to a machinery plant within a reasonable timeframe with little investment.
[] [Last Turn] Stabilize The Ecosphere - [Glowple Worker Cooperative]
GWC has finished the last preparations in this step of the ecology and only requires the necessary funding to complete a stable, if somewhat fragile, self-sustaining ecosphere that can hold low-ranking but human-sustaining levels of plants, animals, and more. After that, they will see to bringing the level of fauna and flora to a grade that would, even if human civilization was wiped out, ensure that evolution would be able to start at a level comparable to Earth, if somewhat bare in the depth of its niches.
 
[X] [Last Turn] Education Campaign - [Culture]

Finish the job on unifying the society and together said society would be able to walk towards the promises of tomorrow. While the other projects may offer additional tools or more fuel to the ever hungry maw of civilization, if we can further unify the people it'll increase our ability to devote ourselves to a goal without as much internal issues. Plus a good education will be the last nail in the coffin of the old regime even if propaganda is gonna play a large role in its death. If you cant completely convince the current generation there's always their descendants instead suggesting you are the one in power.

[X] [Last Turn] Wonders Of Tomorrow - [Research]
[X] [Last Turn] Stabilize The Ecosphere - [Glowple Worker Cooperative]


Here's my secondary and tertiary votes seeing as the vote is ranked based. At least if we stabilize the Exosphere then in the event we are nuked to oblivion life has a shot at continuing after us on the world... Maybe. Hopefully. As for research it would be wise to have some focus on general research instead of specializing so much. The engineering tech research we did will help nicely at least in that regard.

Edit: Nevermind the previous arguments presented. The promise of potential androids is a far superior path to focus on.

Edit 2: All of these work.

Ive been convinced, This may not be a good idea, but I'm hoping automation spills into the civilian sector and allows for life to improve desipte not much focus to it.
Edit: I'm specifically voting for everything so that everything gets some investment.
