So, what I am attempting with this:
DIPLOMACY! ALL OF IT!
I still want to reduce the shenanigans the HK can send our way, and bringing these minors into our warm and scaly hugs is a nice bonus. So, I figure a Diplo Genius, who I want to see what is like just like
@ctulhuslp, and trading missions will help. This course will also do subtle pushes on Nemesis Fashion, different from the GA stuff. Do I expect diplo annexation right off the bat. Nah. But getting the HK cordial with us will alleviate much of the concerns I have with them. I'm thinking their negaverse is just
waiting to die and is super salty, so lets make nice and reduce the inter-universal salt content.
On FC's I'd rather just dip our toesies in. Not much other reasons, Redshore is fine as a FC but I
really do want to
test the things out. I'd expect narrative issues and mid turn decisions from picking two at once and I'd like to avoid that.
The PttS should get us to 7/7-8 actions and I figure that is enough to complete it. TorTor-chan is awesome.
Oh also, Tech will stay at Red 18 so GA is fine.
E: Also also AN has spoken and said a Diplo Genius could also fork into Intrigue, which is
hella good for tamping down on HK shenanigans.
