By the Will of the Machine God

Reader mode
So regard factions to connect with, can I just say that I'm very interested in seeing if we can connect with the Cybernetica? It feels like a natural merger of desires and it has the side benefit of allowing us access to one of the more lethal parts of the Mechanicus. Which will be very useful with our demand of assisting in the securing of Mars.

We'd probably also do well forging connections with the Titans but that isn't quite as essential to occur immediately. And there's the whole issue of needing to prove that our efforts are worthy of being integrated into the God-Machines I suppose.

Before anyone raises concerns, the AdMech before the Emperor's intervention was actually rather interested in AI research and development. They had concerns and a narrow view of what sort of AI needed to result admittedly (by which we mean something that wasn't 'soulless') but it was only really after the Emperor's interaction that they went hardcore 'No AI' which, going by all the Hereteks even in WH40k, was a very mixed belief.

And even that hardcore belief as far as I know, along with the anti-robotics stance, was something which came of the Martian Civil War/Horus Heresy rather than specifically the Emperor. The Cybernetica being one of the factions which saw some of the most extensive defections to the Traitors/Chaos (due in part to the restrictions I'm sure) and also their 'unreliability' or 'danger' in the face of all the ancient AI, robots, scrapcode and Dark Mechanicus AI/Robot projects which were either pulled out or created for the conflicts of the Heresy and afterwards.

It's a similar story with why the Great Crusade AdMech were much lighter on the Innovation issue whilst Post-Heresy AdMech were so against it in a way which would hardened into the 40k AdMech 'Innovation is an Abomination you Heretek!' stance. The folks supporting or interested in innovation being most susceptible to Chaos and the Traitors, either for conversion or casualties of the sabotage, assassinations and fighting.
 
If people are gunning for the Conquering Mars Option, probably best to pair it with the Vaults: there are likely threats that we can't eliminate so best to have it beforehand rather than after the fact.

Otherwise, I'm fine with the slow build up just so we have every precaution before jumping the Conquering Option later.
 
[X] Plan: Prepare The Seals and Incense
-[X] [General] Establish an Empyric Research Station (1/3)
-[X] [Military] Create Checkpoints
-[X] [Military] Construct the Vaults


Essentially we have five turns till we have to clean out the lower levels and thus it would be a good idea to get everything set up so that if something can't be killed/tries to get to the surface we have precautions plus the faster we get the station the more we can research.
 
[X] Plan: Prepare The Seals and Incense

... actually, that's a good point. Something may come out from deep under so having the Vaults ready will be handy indeed rather than getting the Vaults just prior to delving Mars. Giving my vote to this Plan. Im all on Researching next turn after we finish the Research Station.

Better to be cautious than blindly reach out and burn our hand especially so soon into establishing our credibility.

Urgent Action sounds urgent so we should probably do that.

It is not urgent yet, it is the kind of action that requires us to build up basics to get the most of it, so waiting until it is all red, not just one word

Vaults now

While I agree that vaults before the mars expedition is good idea, I think that we should probably do some wards (and maybe rites) upgrades first as to not double back

We are Ad Mech.

If we areny doing some RnD each turn for Glory Of Machine God then something is very wrong.

No actually, the Unification of Terra ends in 712.30M and the Emperor arrives to Mars in 732.30M.

Huh if there is over 700 years still then shouldnt there be still few explorator fleets being sent out by Mars before Big E recruits it for GC?

Would those carry effects of our research?

An Exploratory Fleet is sent every 50 years~
The last one was sent 2 years before the start of the quest.

As for them carrying on the effects of our research, well though you're publicly acknowledged, you are still playing Russian Roulette Extererminatus Bomb.

And the rest of Mars know this.
 
[X] Plan: No Rush, Research!

--[X] Rites of Communion

Don't think we need to rush building the checkpoints right now, it's better to get the ball rolling with the research station to make sure we don't blow everything up. Also maybe better to start with communion rather than empathy to increase knowledge gathering, though we shoud just research the other one in the next turn anyways.

Approval voting this since I'm late

So I wonder picking up diffrent starter tech would result in diffrent starting quest from Mars?

Like for psytech we would get a quest to help prepare next Fleet in such a way they give some return signal back of success?
