So there are a lot of Design Children in the American Empire, to the point where they're mixed in with the general population... if you take this ship as a representative sample, at any rate.

I am vindicated!

Ah-hem. ...I think I'm gonna need time to properly ponder this, but right now I'm with Always Late in that there's a lot we've still got left to do on the island.

[X] Go back to the Submarine Pen
 
Hoh boy, kinda thought this was going to happen.

It has an odd double-hulled design, with a large number of recreational facilities situated in the middle above the water.

Fun fact: this design is called a catamaran.

I'm inclined to say not likely, given that not all children on board are design children, though we would need more information. The more wealthy segments of society would be probably able to afford the genemoding and whatever for making design children. There may be some extreme levels of class-disparity going on, where the wealthiest are literally smarter and healthier than those below them; of course there may be some restrictions of design children for just that reason which may draw eyes to Mary.

I'm inclined to go back as I don't think we can easily avoid detection and suspicion on board, especially as we draw closer to the AE.

Sorry Mary but I doubt others would act as favourable as you do to Surcouf, if they ever discover what she is. As soon as we get everything useful out of that place then we'll go. I hear France is lovely this time of year.

Make sure to delete records of our presence here. Hope no hyper intelligent design child gets curious.

I'm personally just getting tired of all the turtling. Let's go already.

I, too, wish to actually do something other than hide

the only thing we have left to do at the island is check the uplink and I'm pretty sure we all decided that that was a bad idea at some point anyway, and it's not like we can't get that same information by going on this trip with Mary

You like red. Red like the color of your baguettes, prepared Ketchup-style.

The former seems to be a collection of Japan, China, and the former South East Asian countries all joined together in one massive mega-nation.

Korea absent?
Then again, China and Japan might not tolerate them anyway. :V

The American Empire itself appears to consist of the United States, which seems to have gone full crazy and conquered Canada, Mexico, and the entirety of South America, because apparently North America was just appetizers. Their rampage ended there, though. Unless the map is lying.

Soooo, what about Central America?

And what do we do when the American warships detect our ship?

You'd keep your hull following but out of range.

They're a part of the Oriental Alliance. It's an alliance of convenience, as without it, there is no doubt in their minds that the AE would proceed to... annex them.
Just forgot to mention them.

Sorry, they got conquered too.

I'm thinking that this is probably our best opportunity to sneak in to the A.E. and the only thing that I can think of that we can grab back at the sub pen is more food because we already loaded all the weapons from the pen on to the sub.

If we go back to the pen, we would be attacked since this is insane level.

We got everything we need from the subpen, so might as well change addresses.
We should probably make precautions like "leaving your Union Core in your steel hull analogue instead of your faux-squishy-meatbag analogue" though.

Also, we can do more researching on Blue Steel and the Scarlet Fleet once we get to MURRICA.
