In one extreme cases, A adult entertainment device made by the Tsai Corporation achieved awakening after several years of usage and good care from it's owners, to their surprise.
I guess it required extreme creativity to keep up :V
Attempts to subsume other systems and intelligences. (Call security immediately. Do not attempt to solve the problem yourself. Leave it to the professionals. We do not need another Fisting Engine Incident.)

Fisting Engine?!
 
Ok, attempt at a write-in:

[X] Make them an offer:

LTC Tsai rubbed her face with both hands and muttered a quiet thanks that the two fucking ninjas on the other end of the radio couldn't see her face. Her Marine detachment commander and an entire squad of allegedly rough and tough commandos, taken out and stripped naked by a pair of sisters who probably weighed less than half of what Blisk did.

'Two little women, one of whom is supposedly my size, takes out a squad of my Marines? Why can't our troops do that?' Her head popped up. 'Waitaminute! Why can't they be my troops? They're scavengers, clearly don't have a big group backing them if they're stealing food and explosives, and they just more than proved they're as good as my guys. Let's fricking hire them!'

She picked up the mic. "Ladies, this is LTC Jane Tsai, commander of the sandcrawler Mega Kitty. Yes, that really is its name. You just kicked the ass of someone who could fold me in half without breaking sweat, and took out her team too. That tells me you know what the Hell you're doing. But you were just getting chased by this prime slice of jackass we just captured, and his whole now very dead squad of goons. That tells me you're probably in the market for a steady paycheck and a well-armed group of friends. I happen to be hiring! Name your price, seriously. As a signing bonus, I'll let you two take part in the interrogation of said captured jackass. You can even kick him in the nuts until he's singing C above high C if you like!"

Jane put her best winning smile into her voice. She knew she was easy to look at and had a 'tiny, cute, and lewd' thing going. If the two women were here, she'd be trying to turn their heads to make the offer sweeter, on the off chance they were into girls too, but for now she could at least make her voice sound as hot as she could.

"Really, you just demonstrated serious talent at infiltration, surprise attacks, and desert survival. All talents I can use. Name your price, and I'll meet it. Wadda ya say?"
 
Long and Narrow: Part finale.
Long and Narrow Part 3

Field HQ
Josephine wakes up with a head splitting headache. Both her legs are numb and the less said about what was between them, the better. The last thing she remembered was that somehow Amelia slammed the steel command table right into her groin while she was aiming for the smaller one who skittered in between her legs.

This was just after she stepped out from her armor, engaging the emergency release after Belle slammed a chair into her hard enough to cause a cascade failure for her equipment. Stupid sisters, they are. She doesn't remember the room being this drafty. She takes quick look around the room, careful enough not to catch the attention of her captors, as far as they are concerned, she is still unconscious. Her arms and legs are tied together, although she could easily break the ropes holding her down, she wasn't sure she could do it fast enough and then rip off the bomb collar around her neck before someone noticed that she could bend steel bars with just her fingers.

The field HQ was a horrific mess and the rest of her command squad is down on the floor like her. Funnily enough, they are naked. Hell, she was naked! This would have been funny, were it not for the fact that there is a bomb collar around her neck. Either way, she took a peek at the two girls to check what they were doing. They weren't panicking, the smaller one taking stock of their brand new captured equipment. Seeing what can they get away with and what would be too heavy to carry around. They obviously didn't bother with the weapons in the room, seeing as how they were made for the use of powered armor equipped soldiers.

What they were more interested was the smaller items, that they could carry off. There wasn't much small devices in the field HQ, what with powered armor having everything they would require in the field. Sure enough, the smaller one broke into the maintenance kits for powered armor and proceeded to strip their armor of the very expensive carbon nanotube myomers, the electronics and the high capacity batteries. Sure enough, their body gloves were all in a corner folded neatly. Those were actually very valuable and could sell for a small fortune. A lightweight, bulletproof suit that can provide temperature regulation in the desert heat? All without electricity? Furthermore, they are one size fits all, with a re sizing option, so anyone could wear them.

This was going to come out of their pay checks.

Meanwhile, while the smaller girl was playing tiny scavenger, the bigger one was taking a look at their tactical map, comparing data points with a tattered piece of paper. Apparently she was taking notes and figuring out just exactly where they were. Peeking at the map would have been impossible for a baseline, but Josephine had eyes that was far better than baseline. The tattered paper was part of a old pre sunflower tactical map, supply caches, major bases among other things. A treasure map in the hands of a skilled navigator. Several of the locations that were marked as caches were crossed out, with a major base being circled.

Apparently, the two girls were on a treasure hunt. But what would have drove them into confederate territory? Those inbred shit eaters had a reputation of lynching outsiders. Hell, why were they crazy enough to attempt to lift a Dominator from whatever haven nut job was carrying one?
Well, her questions could be answered later. The radio came to life and sure enough Loli Big Boobs was on the channel.

Field HQ
This would gone a lot better if that Iron sand storm didn't happen. Dima Naim thinks to herself. It has been quite a year getting to this area. The map that she was holding now had a list of old desert ranger supply caches and marked the location of the Mariposa Citadel. One of the biggest pre sunflower military bases in this region. They had found it and sure enough, it was intact. The doors were still sealed even after several decades.

The turrets behind the first blast door they cracked open came alive. Shula, being the more observant sister, had managed to push Dima out of the line of fire, her backpack though, got shredded by a barrage of red light, leaving them with very little water in between the two sisters. The long dead perimeter came back to life as doors opened to disgorge a horde of combat platforms. Just as the storm front approached closer to their location, even.

So, the both of them had to take a more shorter route back to union territory empty handed through a confederate compound as they did not want to stay around the horde of killer robots. They could come back later after the on coming sand storm wrecked the now active defenses.

And so, the two sisters walked into the compound hoping for a bit of shelter, at least until the storm passes. After someone accused them of stealing water from the wells and having ugly men leer at her sister, she decided that she would rather deal with the sandstorm rather than a lynch mob of angry incest happy nut jobs. So, the two of them disappeared and helped themselves to the compound's supplies.


Despite how ramshackle the place was, the compound had stocked up quite a fair bit of everything they could want. Food, munitions and weapons. Several mechs lay inactive inside the warehouses. One more newer than the others. So they started to take the choicest cut of food and water. Just as someone entered the warehouse. Said someone was wearing a pure white outfit. Which was rather stupid, given how the sand likes to get into everything, no matter where you were. Given the quality and the cut of his outfit, she could tell that this was someone important. The man drew a short knife and started to move as if it was stalking prey.

And he was approaching Shula from the back.

So Dima, unnoticed, opened up on the man in white with a burst from her sub machine gun, the entire burst hitting the man right in his head, knocking him backwards and alerting the entire compound. Her sister quickly took the man's weapons and pulled the pins on several incendiary grenades inside the building as both of them made their way out of the compound, the people too busy dealing with the burning munitions to look for the culprits involved.

About a few days later, they found themselves running from town to town, as a angry lynch mob pursued them across the waste, a few hours ago, the mob had gotten close enough that they couldn't run any more. It was luck that they had stumbled upon one of the most heavily armed group of soldiers that they had ever seen.

"They wouldn't have helped us if we asked." Shula had said, as she took notice of the patrolling soldiers. "Then, we take what we need and run."

And so they surveyed the area, took notice of the patrol routes and snuck past their patrols, into the place where they keep their supplies. Sure enough, they had plenty of food and water. But they needed something to deter the mob coming after them. Sure enough, these soldiers had enough explosives to level a small town with them.

Just as Dima reached to grab several a few bricks of high explosives. One of the armored soldiers walked into the room, it's weapon at the ready.
"You should come out before I get angry." It hisses at the both of them.

And that was how they ended up here. They couldn't carry everything, but they could take the most valuable objects. Some of the parts of their armor would be valuable and could be sold. Shula was working to take the armor apart while Dima was busy taking a fix on her map and finding out where they were, before they could plot their next move. The soldiers would be distracted with Big Wade outside and the sister's hostages.

Dima and her sister was surprised when the leader of the soldiers wanted to speak with her.

They wanted to hire her sister and her? She humiliated them and that was a good thing?

"How do we know that you are not lying? We have all the cards here."


"Not really, no. The way I see it. We could let you go without a fight. In the short term, you get to make money by selling our equipment. But in the long run? You just made fools of some really powerful people. You see that brand new mech that jackass was driving? Haven Vova."

Dima shivers at the thought, while she doesn't know what a Vova is, she knows the Haven Corporation. She remembers the man in white, typically members of Haven wear all white for some reason. The Haven Corporation? They shot someone important from the Haven Corporation?

"Yuuuup. You fucked with the wrong set of people. You probably have a bounty on you. Dead or alive." The radio pauses.

"So let me sum up your choices. You can join us. We will give you.... Whatever the fuck you want, within reason. Or you can leave, and be hunted down like wild dogs, not by us, mind you."

"Five years with us and we will take you back home with us if you want to come. You are free to leave any time should you find a better deal than us."

The two sisters mull over it and discussed between themselves. About a minute later, the elder sister went back on the radio.

"You have a deal." Dima takes the detonator and hits the remote disarm.

"Okay. Then your first job. You know the boob monster? The big one with all the tattoos?"

Dima and Shula look around and find what the voice on the radio was talking about.

"Yes."

"Kick her in between her legs."

And this closes the interlude. I'll give you all the turn breakdown later on.

Ow... Sorry, Jo. I guess Jane is a bit annoyed at you getting snaked by a pair of prisoners.
 
Turn 3 Week 3

Crawler (1 action) (Current Location: Outskirts of HoL territory. You appear in a recently vacated Battlefield.)

Gained: 1 resource from salvaged mechs
Gained: Shula Naim (May be trained as a pilot or used as a infiltrator.)
Gained: Dima Naim (May be used as a infiltrator or trained as a researcher or as a pilot.)
Gained: 1 Dominator Anti Materiel Energy Pistol.

[] Move towards B7R
Pros: FUCK HAVEN AND THEIR STUPID STICK TOWERS

Cons: You are likely to be bombed from orbit

[] Move towards Union Territory
Pros: They have plenty of jobs and are desperate for manpower and expertise
Cons: They are stingy with pay.

[] Move deeper into Hand Of Liberty Territory
The deeper your move into the Hand of Liberty Territory, the more their rules apply to you. While they universally disapprove of mercenaries, they realize that PMCs fill a niche in their forces as disposable cannon fodder. They allow scavengers to salvage in their territory, but will demand the return of their own war materiel.

[] Move towards Cosmonaut Territory
Pros: We have many, many work for you, comrade.
Cons: Moderate Chance of backstab. Very cheap.

[]Proceed with Salvage Operations
War provides all, be it victory or death. Comb through the battlefield for salvage and usable materials.

Research and Execution Actions (2 actions)

[] Produce one lance of Light Mechs [2 resources, + 1 resource for High Performance, +2 resources for cutting edge.]
Light Mechs are the scouts and skirmishers of any mechanized strike force. While do not have the endurance to stay on the field for prolonged periods of time, they are fast and can fade away before receiving any retaliation.

[] Produce one lance of Main Battle Mechs [3 resources , +1 resource for High Performance, +2 Resources for Cutting edge]
The Main Battle Mech is the bread and butter of any mechanised strike force. Designed to be fast, hard hitting and heavily armor. The MBM strikes a balance between speed, firepower and protection.

[] Produce one Assualt Mech [Yes, this is not a typo.] (4 resources +1 resource for High Performance, +2 for cutting edge]
Assault Mechs are the hammers of the mechanised strike force. Slow to the point that specialist trucks are required to transport them to the field, Assualt Mechs are unbreakable slabs of armor and guns. The production of even one assault mech is a strain on the considerable resources of a Wolfram Company. As a result Assault Mechs are typically attached to a lance of lighter mechs as heavy fire support.

[] Produce Mech Equipment (1 Resource for lights and Assaults, 2 Resources for mediums, +1
resource for High Performance, +2 for cutting edge]
The mech is a very versatile war machine capable of switching equipment really fast. These are basically refit kits and spare weapons for your lances, to be equipped before deployment. You can swap them out anything when your mechs are inside the crawler
Types include: Enhanced Sensor Package
Short ranged equipment (Melee weapons, Shotguns, Unguided Rockets, Applique armor)
Medium Ranged weapons (Machine guns, Assault rifles, Battle cannons, Missiles, Lasers, Plasma Canons)
Long ranged weapons (Heavy Missiles, Sniper rifles, Rail guns, Anti satellite energy weapons)
Indirect fire (Howitzers, Mortars, Cruise missiles)
Anti plant load out (Flamethrowers, Plasma Casters. Thermobarics.)
Enhanced armor kit (Duh.)

[] Create trade goods for trading (1 resource)
Given the fact that sometimes the HoL are in need of supplies, having some basic necessities stocked may be good for immediate business.

[] Produce and load Ballistic Missile (2 resource)
You probably want to arm the tubes, given that your primarily defense against Orbital strikes are ballistic missiles. There are several varieties of warheads. There's only two you currently have access to. Shockwave and Hydra The first is basically a anti aircraft ballistic missile, it flies into a concentration of hostile air units and then fires off a barrage of anti aircraft missiles before detonating what is left of it's propellant in a violent fuel air explosion. The hydra is a anti orbital ballistic missile, It's basically like the Shockwave, only that it carries only 8 submunitions. Said 8 submunitions are hypersonic cruise missiles that can auto target.
Both types of missiles can be used to hit ground targets as well.

[] Produce and launch recon drone swarm. (2 resources)
Well, it's not as flashy as a ballistic missile and not as cool as a lance of mechs, but hey? Who can win a war without proper information? On a successful roll, you reveal more about your surroundings.

[] Do a Research Project!
[] The Signal. Just what is this Signal? Some kind of new weapon? Old AI gone crazy? You don't know and quite frankly you don't feel safe when several recon drones go dark without a explanation.
[] Dominator. A Pistol carried by high ranking members of Haven SecFor, the Dominator is a anti mech plasma pistol for normal infantry. What secrets can you flense from it's black matte frame?​

Operations Command (2 actions)
[] Run Drills
While your marines are professional, it never hurts for them to be more prepared. (??? before level up)

[] Security Sweep.
While there is nothing living around for miles, this is a battle zone. There might be stragglers or looters who would take offense at you taking first cut of the profits.

[] Make contact.
The best way to find out more about your current situation is to send a away team to the nearest settlement. This might take awhile, given how you have no idea where it is. Nope. Your newest recruits have helped to update your maps. You are certain a team deployed will take about a week to do their business

[] Interrogate the prisoner
Well, well, well. So you have a prisoner in your brig waiting to spill his guts out. He has no idea who you are and what do you want him for. Although the abuse he has been hurling has been quite entertaining, you want something out of your investment.

Mech Command (1 Actions)

[]Run drills
Your Pilots are still not up to scratch by the standards of a Terminator with a decade worth of service as a pilot. He recommends that you drill the shit out of them before sending them out

[]Form Perimeter
A combat patrol is essential to spot incoming enemies. This is pretty much SOP.

[]Search and destroy
Plant life on Axalith are disasters waiting to happen. Allowing them to grow unchecked is tantamount to suicide. Send out a unit to burn several Roving groves to ashes. (??? Goes into combat.)

[]Reconnaissance in force
Recon has picked up what appears to be cloaked units moving up north. While this could be just camera glitching, you can never be so certain, especially since there is a tether just slightly beyond the horizon. (Takes 3 turns in additional to deployment time. Requires sensor equipment.)

[] Search and Destroy: Confederate Compound
While you are unsure where are they exactly, you can be sure that they will be a fucking nuisance, not to mention a staging ground for Haven OSR operatives to infiltrate into the wastes. This cannot stand. (Requires two lances minimum.)


[] Treasure hunting: Legend of the lost castle.
???


Personal Actions

Assign your commanders to a project and etc. They are busy figuring out just where to stick the sisters and are in a meeting for this turn, baring your RnD head.

Tabane (2 actions)
[] Do your job. (Assign her to a project this turn.)
[] Interact with other commanders
[x] Meet the Newcomers!

The Naim sisters
[] Decide where do you want them.


---

Anyway, here are the thoughts of the command staff on your new additions.

Tabane: I don't really care either way. It's not my problem.
Jane: (She's the one with the final say.) It's not fair! Why are they taller than me? I mean, they are starving orphan children!
Josephine: The big one is... acceptable. She's old enough for me to take under my wing. But I'll be damned if I'll allow a kid like the smaller one to pick up a weapon and fight.
Boris: I do not mind either way. If you are in need of pilots, I can run them through training. I will break them and turn them into real soldiers.

Well.... you dont exactlu have pilots for those mechs. Nor do you have sensor equipment to run a search and destroy atm.
 
Well... frick. Ok, strike the mecha, build sensor gear? Or is that covered in the recon drones?
 
To clarify, you can still produce mechs even if you don't have pilots for em. Can keep em for spares in case you trashed your current lances. Or you can sell em off if you want to sell em off. Like there's somebody supplying mercenaries weapons, when you have what is essentially a mobile warfactory, it's a pretty good source of income for you to sell warmachines and the like. Especially to people with a dire need for wepons.

What you do need in order to use em are pilots. Which you have to recruit. Sadly, as much have I actually offered recruitment opportunites, none of y'all been taking it up.
 
I still want to do the search and destroy more than make mecha we can't fill just yet. So how do we build the sensor gear we'll need?
 
[X]Plan Strypgia

Because tags and Shadow Cabal Represent

I would normally argue for making some heavier mechs in place of sensor gear, but since we're tight on pilots anyway, we might as well upgrade what we have instead. The rest of the options are more-or-less what I would have voted for anyway.
 
Light mechs for now. High performance and recon are right up their alley for this mission, I think.
