Technically it's one, since we used a Martyris action for Means of Reproduction. Also, didn't we unlock asilums as well?

Ah right, changed that.
Also, you can build asylums now, but must first ring up the BICL to get approval to do so, as those institutions target the, literally, most helpless and vulnerable of society.

@HeroCooky Say, if we finish somethin like mortars before the expedition sets out do we take some with us automatically or do we have to create a dedicated unit?

Son of a. Hell to the yes we're doing it. Anything to burn those little bastards out of existence. Why not send our Knight Titan whose name i forget right now
You mean PD, and we should. It will also be good source of experience for Aria.

Artillery is counted as auxilliary equipment for your Units, so you could earmark about 25 Materials to equip per Unit to have them with you, if you finish researching them.
You have PD as your Knight, and Aria as her Pilot, with ^Ä^ chilling out as a Core, waiting for you to slot him into a Knight.
Yes, you can have another Knight the very second you assign the funds to that.
PD is a she. And at this point we might need a glossary for all the non-hero Pilgrim characters that are running around.

I remember you saying that there was an island of friendly mutants that Eversun is trying to wipe out, is this the same island?

The very same. Although, replace mutants with tribals in a symbiontic relationship with a pre-sentient bird species.
(And yes, the Eversunn is genociding the birbs too.)

@HeroCooky, three things.
There appear to be no actions to directly help the survivors - is this just meaning that we're already doing everything they need?
Second and third, REALLY?!!, and Lady Tessen's favour have either kept the same chances or gotten worse. Shouldn't these have gone *up*, at least a bit, now that we have survivor testimony to add weight to our arguments?
Also, wouldn't this still be a knight only Aria and PD can converse with?

You are doing everything you can do. You unlocked three psychology research projects to further help them, but your understanding of the human mind is rudimentary. The Empire doesn't really have much in the way of psychological institutions, aside from the rare and extremely expensive therapists.
If you had started in the Eversun, you'd have identified what they were suffering from already, as well as how to treat them.
Too bad you don't, and don't have a way to take a gander into one of their villages/towns to loot some books about that.
Yes, the chances did go up, aling with your proclamation.
Then three months passed, giving you a big malus.
People are still angry, but it is fading from everyone's mind and out of the news-cycle, so the chances stayed the same or worsened.
Yes, however, most Knight-Pilots don't really talk with their Knights, or pilot an Awakened Machine Mind around like Aria.
And "this symbol means that" isn't that hard to teach.
Let's see, 103 Materials for the bunker, maybe another 100 to armor the Daughter. Hmm...
I really hope they get around to dealing with the Hibernating Mother soon. With our luck, she's going to wake up once the DoD is gone.
Still 4 Turns? More time to research projects is nice, but I don't think competitions like that should wait for us.
Huh, the Assimilation Track is new. So we need to infiltrate them and stock up their budget.
The same as last Turn, except we got 200 new, permanent residents. If it's linear growth we should reach 2.000 next Turn; if exponential a bit over 2.000 next Turn and probably around 2.500 the following Turn.
Hmmm? I wonder why Aria's mutation advanced?
Small steps, Aria. Small steps.
True, but a settlement that can't sustain itself and lacks minerals or loot to trade is probably a military outpost, and thus only in a secondary way sustained by trade due to the taxes the empire leverages on trade.
Ah, the noble lady on the run with her maid.
Ugh, that could end up as a political headache.
One of the Flesh victims?
Thaaat sounds like either a memetic virus or the White Forest influencing people.
Harbinger would probably enjoy it.*shudder*
Ah, so they were all in on it.
They tried to set up a marriage and successfully selected a man and a woman with similar interests. Too bad that interest was being gay. Successfully failed?
In my defense, we were rather unimportant until we suddenly found the DoD and Suspendium. Not to mention all the other fallout we had to deal with.
I mean, the same could be said about any Forge-Clan lab if compared to pre-Collapse installations?
Could we do it now? Could we mass-produce the ultimate hangover cure?!
Ah, the pre-Collapse guy from the other bunker. No one else would think of a Mutated as a mutant.
Hmm, he got mindwiped of everything that happened after he woke up. I wonder why Rotting Moon set this up like that?
2 Turns and it's against the Eversun, which means they probably have the tech to threaten the DoD.
Of material goods: Bloodbark for medical reasons, Medical Kits too. Maybe some electronics. It sounds like the locals could only help by running a guerilla war, so maybe Camo-Cloaks and various bombs?
Personal: Definitely Aria and PD, it's a good chance for them to gather experience. The scouts too; we have enough locations for expeditions. Maybe some doctors or we hire a Mercenary Company like the Huntsmen.
More psychology research would take too long, either infiltration or we do it as Personal Actions.
"Primitive" makes me nervous but with the Pilgrim's Tenets, we hopefully avoid the "Primitive" asylums we had in RL.
Looks like we need to write-in a Diplomacy Action with the other Houses to boost this project. If we can get House Mirn and House Ulatarn to agree before we talk with House Tessen...
Interesting; I would be more interested in getting some of the Elemental Cat variants, though.
Re-organized, nice. Some of those DCs though.
There are going to be sooo many bar brawls.
And this will start a war with the Criminals.
Should probably wait until we got the local hospital.
I would really like a satire-focused paper. People already have enough stuff to worry about.
Expensive. Currently, only the law change would be important enough, but if we develop another big technology like the airships...
Internal Security is going to snap him up sooo fast.
Fortunately, Eversun appears to be very advanced in that field, so we might be able to loot stuff to help our own research.
They are also humane, so I imagine at worst they become a holding facility where while they don't get better, they also can't hurt themselves and others.
I think I would rather do straight comedy/ comic strips rather than satire. But there's also the artist alley which I think will have a cooler impact.

Once you have the next lab-level, I'll give you the option.Could we do it now? Could we mass-produce the ultimate hangover cure?!
Eeeeeh, people can be preeeetty shitty towards Mutated in some Regions. It's a slur some/many use to insult them
WOG: Rotting Moon was unaware that he even existed until the Executive used the weapon in the fight, and then was more stumped as to what was even happening.
Primitive as in: we can't really help them recover, but at least make them not suffer.
I added Humane for a reason.
Altered that option!
I just had an idea for Paper Mile: Puzzle magazines.
You know, the type that's nothing but games like word soup, anagram and the like. Though I don't know if the literacy rate is high enough to be a market for something like that.
Though I imagine something like Where's Wally would have a wide appeal.

*sigh* So the only way we could feasibly have defended the survivor's rights while the iron was hot was by taking resources from the hunt for the survivors.
*rubs temples* Too much going on right now.
Alright, re: next turn:
[] Send (Unit/s) + (Personal Cutter) (High Chance for Artifacts, Medium Chance for Unique Loot)
[] Take Note Of Their Achievements (Reward: Interlude Event: To Burn The Sun)
If nothing else, I want those sweet, sweet psychology books.
[ ] REALLY? REALLY! REALLY?!
So, this seems to be largely something to do to put pressure on the Emperor. The problem is, devoting resources to it right now is really, really difficult to justify, given how much other stuff we need to do.
[ ] From The Brink
I want so badly to do this, but at -20 we'd need to throw personal actions we don't have at it. Plus, this should get noticeably easier post-island trip if we can loot psych books.
[ ] Obtain A Permit For Creating Asylums
Something we should just straight up do, I think. Good success chances and it'll make other psych actions much easier.
[ ] Lady Tessen? About Our Favor...
I think we need to do this now, before the chance slips any further.
Weirdly, I think if we apply a Martyris personal action, an Aria lead by example, and all faithful, we can actually make this a +92 roll - nearly a guaranteed success. We can probably leverage a large commitment to the raid on the islands for more bonus.
(Am I wrong? I feel nervous about that. I'm never sure what the personal action/lead bonuses are exactly)
[ ] Lend A Hand, Arm, And Leg - Part 2 - (All Mechanics/All Electronics)
Would be a very nice injection of funds and piety right now, but it's a bit too much of a commitment in terms of turns/artifacts.
I think a [ ] Translations For Beginners - (Linguistics) - (1 (one) Artifact) or [ ] Detective Courses For Beginners - (Unknown Artifact) would be our best bet.
[ ] Open The Bunker
-[ ] Pull with the DoD
Y'all know me.
[ ] Laboratory Complex - Rudimentary
I want this badly, but I don't think we can justify the materials right now.
[ ] Armor The Daughter
I mean, we have to, really.
[ ] Electronics Manufacture
*whistles* Oh, that income. Oh my. Too bad about the Faithful requirement,
[ ] Daycare - Expanded
This probably needs to get done, having overcrowded daycare as the Pilgrims is just shameful.
[ ] House Dall Barracks
We've got the basics of Norquod, now we need to make sure that when our airship manufactories get going, they don't get raided.
Also, didn't we make an airship prototype? I can't remember.
[ ] (Martyris) Interrogate The Awakened Stranger
[ ] (Martyris) Too Much To Do - (Lady Tessen? About Our Favor...)
- [] If they are willing, bring survivors to recount their stories. Also be willing to trade if necessary to shift the political calculus
[ ] (Aria) Lead By Example (Lady Tessen? About Our Favor...)
[] (Aria) Relax - Take Chiedi for a ride in PD, tease PD with the possibility of making out in her cockpit. Use all the innuendos.
And something like this is to my mind our most important action to take this turn.
So, I'd put together something like this:
[] Plan: Alea Iacta Est
-[][Faith] A Helping Hand (10 Materials)
-[][Faith] Establish Soup-Kitchens (Bulk)(Tessen)(11 Materials)
-[][Diplomacy] Obtain A Permit For Creating Asylums (15 Materials, 5 Goodwill)
-[] Pump Those Legs! - (The Troubleshooters)(Ghillie Suits, Pointed Reply, Electric Bolts, Crying Crescent, Firebombs, Smokebombs, Medical Kit (Silver), 10.92 Materials)
--[] This unit specializes in assisting The Wall in clearing out occupied artefact grounds. Where The Wall acts as a stalking horse, The Troubleshooters focus on raining death without ever being seen.
-[][Learning] Fuck That Guy And Everything Around Him - Part 1 (Self-Loading Rocket Tube, Calibration-Matrix, Mortar Range-Finder, Electro-Spool)(1 SC, PD, DoD)
--[] Use 25 materials to equip outgoing expedition
-[][Archaeology] Open The Bunker
--[] Pull with the DoD (103 Materials)
-[][Tree] Armor The Daughter (525 Materials)
-[][Tree]Daycare - Expanded (34 Materials)
-[][Holdings] Simple Hospital (17 Materials)
-[][Martyris] Interrogate The Awakened Stranger
-[][Martyris] Too Much To Do - (Lady Tessen? About Our Favor...)
-[] If they are willing, bring survivors to recount their stories. Also be willing to trade if necessary to shift the political calculus
-[][Aria] Lead By Example (Lady Tessen? About Our Favor...)
-[][Support] Merchants
--[] Take Out A Flat Loan (375 Materials)
--[] Sell Businesses Norqod Location Privileges (+9d20 Materials)
-[][Support] The Military
--[] War Lessons (2 Materials)
-[][Support] Criminal Organizations (10 Materials)
--[] And Oh, My! - (Judge B'il)
-[][Support] The Followers Of Light (15 Materials, 3 Goodwill)
--[] For The Nation - (Lady Tessen? About Our Favor...)
-[][Support] Nine Tribes Council
-[] Rare Odds And Ends - (Sociology)(15 Materials)
--[] Search for documentation backing your arguments that the Ordnances mentioned in Judge B'il's decision are damaging the Empire
Alright, by my calculations that should give us a balance of 9 materials at the end of the turn in exchange for getting the Daughter fully armored, our troops trained some cancerous Ordnances overturned, another crack at the Vault, and some backup/payback on dear old B'il.
Let me know if you see any mistakes.

I think we are going to have to let this one go. We just don't have the political capital to do much right now.
We should do mortars. If we apply the automatic successes plus a couple of artefacts to it we can realistically finish in one turn, meaning we can send artillery support with the expedition.
Do note that the barracks specialises the village, I don't want to have a military influence so early. Better to just do one of the new options open to us.
The gangs are already dealt with.

Sure, sounds reasonable.
I've missed something again. Do you have a relevant link?
And again. Ah well, easy to remove.
It says it on the tin, "Norqod gains a Military District". We have been told that each district we build will have a diminishing influence on the village so the order we pick matters.

It's the 'we have been told' bit I was missing. Fair enough. Do you have a preference among the new options?
