--[X] Build 2 Storm hardened Basic Autofactories: Cost: -4 Autofabber (4/11). -12 Minerals.
--[X] Build 2 Telekinetic Militia Equipment. Cost: -2 Autofabber (6/11), -2 Psi-Crystal Machine (2/4), -4 Minerals.
--[X] Build 12 Orbital solar farms and boost them to Orbit. Cost: -24 Minerals,= -1 Autofabber (7/11), 1 Orbital Action
--[X] Build 1 Storm hardened Basic Vehicular Maintenance Bay. Specialized for military use. Cost: -2 Autofabber (9/11), -2 Biomass, -3 Minerals.
--[X] Build 1 Storm hardened Warehouse. Cost: 1 Autofabber Action (10/11), -1 Minerals
--[X] Build 1 Storm hardened Hydro Reservoir. Cost: 1 Autofabber Action (11/11), -3 Minerals
--[X] Build 1 Storm hardened science lab, -1 Autofactory, (4/11) -5 Minerals -1 biomass
--[X] Build 1 Storm hardened, Blight hardened Exowomb Nursery. Cost: -1 Autofactory, (5/11) -3 Minerals. -2 Food
--[X] Build 1 Storm hardened Psi-Crystal Machine. Cost: -6 Minerals, -2 Biomass, -1 Psi-Crystal Machine (3/5), -1 Autofactory Action (6/11)
--[X] Build 1 Militarized Shuttle: Cost: -1 Autofactory Action (7/11), -1 Psi-Crystal Machine Action (4/5), -7 Minerals, -6 Biomass.
--[X] Build 1 Solar Satellite and boost to Orbit. Cost: -5 Minerals, -1 Autofactory Action (8/11), 1 Orbital Operation
--[X] Total Build cost -2 Food, -74 Minerals, -10 Biomass
--[X] Syngas Burn Rate set to 0/3
--[X] Remaining 3 Autofactories and 1 Psi-Crystal Machine held in reserve to fulfill other Actions
-[X] Orbital
--[X] 1 supply Job (1/8)
--[X] 4 asteroid mining (5/8)
--[X] 2 Building installations (7/8)
--[X] 1 Shakedown flights. The new militarized shuttle needs to be taken out to test capabilities and provide data to Lab 4's research. Crew needs to become familiar with the craft as well.
-[X] Military:
--[X] Design and build Special Ops training facility. To support the Matriarch's efforts to create a special ops tradition training facilities must be created. Creating designs for such a facility is closer to Mira's expertise than any of our research teams so designing training facilities falls to the militia, as does supporting the Matriarchs' efforts with promising recruits.
-[X] Exploration:
--[X] Continue planetary surveys in the area around the colony, now with support from the Orbital Sensor network
-[X] Research:
--[X] Lab 1 will continue current project
--[X] Lab 2 will conduct a detailed examination of the decommissioned Colony Ship. Highest priority is the preservation of the gravity plating for study. After that try to look at other components while not ripping the ship apart too badly. The ship served us well and it would nice to keep some kind of memorial.
--[X] Lab 3 will continue current project
--[X] Lab 4 will focus on Psi-Crystal assisted weaponry, fighter/shuttle scale
-[X] Diplomacy:
--[X] Hold the decommissioning ceremony. It's funny to think that the overwhelming majority of the people in attendance have no memory of fleeing Earth or the voyage here. Besides the uptimers those born on Kithmake now outnumber the first colonists. As this event passes into memory, and then into History, it's worth it to take a moment to commemorate our voyage and the last two decades that have followed. Before any components are removed recordings should be made of the ship's entire interior, a record of the ship as it was. Once useful technology has been extracted from the vessel what remains should be stored in a secure hardened warehouse or hanger safe from the storms and with as much climate control as we can manage to preserve it. One day this may be part of a museum, or even a museum ship if we can keep the hull together while extracting the gravity plating
-[X] Personal:
--[X] Walk the old ship one last time before the crews get to work on her. Then head home to Mira and the girls. It's times like this that you think about Legacy, about what you leave behind when your time passes.
