980.M42 - Munched On Her Sandwich
HeroCooky
Unverified Monstergirl
Thule 68-RL622//Brd, or Bird, munched on her sandwich, reading the newest installment of her favorite detective drama novel series, idly flicking a page ever so often as her eyes flickered over the printed words with mild interest as she tried to get through a rather dull section that she would likely have to re-read once the full Chekov's Shooting Squad the author liked to create went off in the last three pages.
Beside her, her long-time friend Cooling Breeze munched on a rather large bone, even if it seemed tiny in his oversized paws like it did for all Yeenis. His attention was taken up by a fashion magazine from some centuries ago, found in a crate that had been forgotten in the local spaceport for all that time. The magazine itself wasn't engaging or insightful; he just liked to read the advertisements. They were rather silly, especially the fur-dye ones.
"..." Bird stopped munching on her food, looking around the small canteen filled with some other ship crew and a pair of Thules playing regicide. Toof seemed to be winning, according to Hon's annoyance. With another slow bite, she looked at Breeze flipping a page in the magazine and make a noise of mild interest at something in it. She swallowed and looked around again, lowering her sandwich. "...you ever feel like you are being watched?"
"There are cameras in the corners," Breeze hummed in reply, not even bothering to look up.
"No, I mean like...with a note of faint disappointment?"
"Hmm...no, can't say that," Breeze hummed, flipping another page.
"Oh, okay then." With that, Bird picked up her sandwich again and took a bite. Back to reading.

[] [General] Ministry of Subversion, Infiltration, and Interstellar Communication
A new age of peace dawns on the Glimmering Federation, and with it rises the required needs of its various branches and plans to come to fruition, from subverting hostile polities to maintaining friendly relations with good neighbors. Thanks to an expansion in its resources, the Ministry of SIIC can now focus on multiple things at a time.
[] [Military] Create A [Blazing Sun - 14x War-Packs] or 18x SAGs - [System/s] - [Weight: Light/Medium/Heavy] - [Type: Infantry/Mechanized/Tanks/Augmetic Legion] - [Classification: Sabotage/Assault/Engineering/Demolition/Ogryn/Piscarian/Kil'drabi]
Sabotage Units will focus on raiding and disrupting the enemy with lighting raids and plundering logistics; Assault Units will punch through the enemy in weak points and sow confusion with overwhelming firepower; Engineering Units will focus on creating fortifications and using turrets, mines, and barricades; Demolition Units will be comprised out of heavy weaponry squads with plenty of explosives, from mines to rockets; and Ogryn Units will be Ogryns armored in heavy metals and armed with shields and Beatin' Sticks led by soldiers with spiffy hats that will not be disobeyed. Piscarians are adept at wielding heavy equipment for long periods of time, but struggle in high-temperature environs. Kil'drabi Units can go into temperature enviroments Humans would require special equipment with ease. Infantry Units consist mainly of boots on the ground, while Mechanized Units are equipped with vehicles that increase mobility and durability at the cost of logistics and all-terrain capability, with Tanks allowing a myriad of armored spearheads or operations to proceed, and an Augmetic Legion consists of cybernetically enhanced humans, equipped with high-end implants and prosthetics that set them far above the human baseline, allowing for far more dangerous deployments. Light Units are better for low-logistic scenarios, while Medium Units rely more on regular shipments and strike a good balance between supply consumption and effectiveness. Heavy Units rely on solid logistics to continue working while offering an equal force concentration in return. A War-Pack comprises 15 Karnivores grouped in Packs of 3 Knights each, alongside the infrastructure/logistics to support and rebuild their Knights.
(Gain: Four War-Packs or Six SAGs. These contain [Four Units] chosen from the above choices. Tanks require no Classification.)
[] [Military] Sector Battle Group Construction And Repair
-[] Nomadic Fleet [Automatic] (0.0/0.6)
-[] Hydralisk (0/1)
-[] Necrolisk (0/1)
-[] Gryphon (0/1)
-[] Gorgon (0/1)
-[] Wyvern (0/1)
A Sector Battle Group consists of 4 Heavy Cruisers, 8 Carriers, 6 Light Cruisers, 8 (Heavy) Frigates, and 4 Destroyers/Corvettes. A Nomadic Fleet consists out of 1 Battlecolony, 2 Heavy Cruisers, 4 Light Cruisers, and 14 Frigates. Building them in bulk is cheaper than in parcel, and once we have them all filled, we can think about constructing new ones!
(Information: All Action Costs must be paid to receive the ships.
Gain: Filled out SBG/Nomadic Fleet.)
[ ] [Military] Design New Voidship Classes - [Available: Destroyer (1 DP), Frigate (2 DP), Light Cruiser/Freighter (4 DP), Heavy Cruiser/Freighter (8 DP), Temple Ship (25 DP)] - [16 DP]
From what we can tell, thanks to our history, what information we, the Kil'drabi, Yeeni, and the archives of our planets tell us, the difference between a prosperous interstellar polity and one naught but ash is the strength of their navy. At the moment, we have the beginning of a proud Void Fleet, yet purely defending against our enemies is a great way to get ground down into dust over time; we need to be able to bring the fight to them.
(Information: Ship Classes requiring more DP than you possess take more than one Action to design.
Gain: Newly designed and built Ship Class/es.)
[] [Military] Begin Military Operations (Assign SAG/s) (Choose Location/s) (Designate Objective/s)
There is war to be had and battle to be made. Send troops to resolve issues, squash opposition to the Star Child and Humanity and all Their Protectorates, and send ships to scout neighboring systems to understand what is happening there.
(Gain: Military dispatched to put down opposition violently. Scouts are sent to look at other systems.
Scouting Range: ~20 Systems from Claimed Systems. Scouting Efficiency: 50% Three+ Systems, 30% Eight+ Systems, 15% Fifteen+ Systems.
Note: For use outside your territory or in support of forces specified within another Action.)
[] [Psykana] Conduct Three Melodies (Choose three below.) (0.6/1 - Auto Complete) - [Choose Melody]
The Celestial Choir has been given the means; with time, they shall conduct their songs. They will listen to the Warp and filter out the false whispers from the slumbering guidance of the Star Child. In halting prayer and stumbling humming, the truth will be stripped until nothing but it remains in the hands of those who shall make it anew into power to be wielded by the Choirs to come. As there are 10 Celestial Choirs free to pursue research, the High Council can ask them to pursue a target instead of what comes close. This will, naturally, be lost once they dip below 10 Choirs.
(Total: 35
Uncovered: Technology II, Revenant.
Secret: Slumber, Silence II, Perception II, and Grounding II.
Star Child: Hope II, Compassion II, Humanity II, Mercy, Creativity III, Health II, Unity II, Innovation II, Machinery II, Logic II, Progress II, Protection II, Justice II, Wisdom II, The Sun III, The Home II, Death II, Ruthlessness II, Brutality II, and Fire II.
Kil'drabi: Paths, The Void II, Struggle II, Community, and Family.
Irrita: Growth, Plants, Harmony, and Hunger.
Gain: Three Melodies newly Conducted.)
[] [Psykana] Sing a Song (Choose at least Three below.)
Mere Melodies are not the end of the journey, nor should they be the start. They are the middle, from which all things shall grow and wither.
(Uncovered: Technology I.
Secret: Perception I, Silence, I, and Grounding I.
Star Child: Protection I, Fire I, The Sun II, Humanity I, Creativity II, Song III, The Home I, Logic I, Unity I, Progress I, Compassion I, Hope I, Health I, Death I, Justice I, Wisdom I, Innovation I, Machinery I, Ruthlessness I, Brutality I, and Mercy I.
Kil'drabi: Void I, and Struggle I.
Gain: A Song.)
[] [Psykana] Psytech Creations
[] [Faith] The Penitentia Rite
Implicitly allowed by a Conclave of the Droman Creed, it is time for the priests and Hymnals of the Federation to learn about and put into practice the safe creation of Penitentias, those whose soul and body have been entirely given to the judgment of the Star Child for crimes unforgivable by mortals, yet judgeable by their willingness to repent and be potentially erased by the disgust of the Unborn Divine.
(Gain: Penitentia Rite.)
[] [Faith] An Unborn Guide Sought Out (Write-In)
...
(Gain: Guidance on how to deal with, or gain, something.)
[] [Knightly Orders] Deal With The Paperwork (0.5/2)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAA-"
-Order Master Kara Salafus upon being informed about the reorganization of the Knight Orders.
(Gain: Dealt with the paperwork.)
[] [Chapter] Recuperate For The Rift Liberation (0.5/1)
We swore and oath to protect humanity, all humanity. We shall not be found wanting in the face of the horrors of the galaxy.
(Gain: The Lamenters will be able to clear Sub-Sector Claiden's Rift or die trying.)
[] [Other] Take Care Of [Future Or Current Problems]

Infantry Units consist mainly of boots on the ground, while Mechanized Units are equipped with vehicles that increase mobility and durability at the cost of logistics and all-terrain capability, with Tanks allowing a myriad of armored spearheads or operations to proceed, and an Augmetic Legion consists of cybernetically enhanced humans, equipped with high-end implants and prosthetics that set them far above the human baseline, allowing for far more dangerous deployments. Light Units are better for low-logistic scenarios, while Medium Units rely more on regular shipments and strike a good balance between supply consumption and effectiveness. Heavy Units rely on solid logistics to continue working while offering an equal force concentration in return. A War-Pack comprises 15 Karnivores grouped in Packs of 3 Knights each, alongside the infrastructure/logistics to support and rebuild their Knights.
(Gain: Four War-Packs or Six SAGs. These contain [Four Units] chosen from the above choices. Tanks require no Classification.)
[] [Military] Sector Battle Group Construction And Repair
-[] Nomadic Fleet [Automatic] (0.0/0.6)
-[] Hydralisk (0/1)
-[] Necrolisk (0/1)
-[] Gryphon (0/1)
-[] Gorgon (0/1)
-[] Wyvern (0/1)
A Sector Battle Group consists of 4 Heavy Cruisers, 8 Carriers, 6 Light Cruisers, 8 (Heavy) Frigates, and 4 Destroyers/Corvettes. A Nomadic Fleet consists out of 1 Battlecolony, 2 Heavy Cruisers, 4 Light Cruisers, and 14 Frigates. Building them in bulk is cheaper than in parcel, and once we have them all filled, we can think about constructing new ones!
(Information: All Action Costs must be paid to receive the ships.
Gain: Filled out SBG/Nomadic Fleet.)
[ ] [Military] Design New Voidship Classes - [Available: Destroyer (1 DP), Frigate (2 DP), Light Cruiser/Freighter (4 DP), Heavy Cruiser/Freighter (8 DP), Temple Ship (25 DP)] - [16 DP]
From what we can tell, thanks to our history, what information we, the Kil'drabi, Yeeni, and the archives of our planets tell us, the difference between a prosperous interstellar polity and one naught but ash is the strength of their navy. At the moment, we have the beginning of a proud Void Fleet, yet purely defending against our enemies is a great way to get ground down into dust over time; we need to be able to bring the fight to them.
(Information: Ship Classes requiring more DP than you possess take more than one Action to design.
Gain: Newly designed and built Ship Class/es.)

In halting prayer and stumbling humming, the truth will be stripped until nothing but it remains in the hands of those who shall make it anew into power to be wielded by the Choirs to come.

(Gain: Psytech is moved into Research and benefits from its Traits.)
-[] The Shatterprow (1/2)
The counter-part to the Starlance, the Shatterprow does not attempt to project its psychic might ahead of itself but instead focuses on enhancing and hardening the prow of the ship it is attached to, increasing a fearsome ramming attack even further without the need to fire continuously.
(Gain: 5 DP Weapon: Shatterprow. Requires a Choir to operate.)
-[] The Starlance (1/2)
Though named after the weapon that annihilated twenty-two Light Cruisers in its first showing against the Federation, the weapon is projected to be far weaker than its namesake, and, far more importantly, will not need a billion sapient souls to fire, nor the weird black stones used as amplyfiers. Situated in the prow of a ship and operated by a Choir, the Starlance projects a beam of psychic might against the enemy in a continuous stream at short ranges, with its destructive potential enhanced if a ship accelerates against its targeted foe.
(Gain: 7 DP Weapon: Starlance. Requires a Choir to operate.)
-[] Improved Psyker Staves (0/15)
The ability to create psychic focii is no longer a mere beginner's art within the Glimmering Federation, and with knowledge and familarity comes the ability to strive further than yesterday. With The Sun Melody having become a measuring-stick upon which one can see progress, its is estimated that further refinement will be capable of of reducing the damages incurred into "mere" full-body third-degree burns.
(Gain: Improves Choir efficiency and might when using Songs and Melodies.)
-[] Primitive Psychic Hoods
Thanks to the work done in figuring out how to develop and create psychically-active materials and how they could be shaped into force weapons and focii, another avenue of research has opened up; psychically atuning and shaping cloth and metals to weave together into one whole so that it may protect the wearer when they channel the powers of the Warp.
(Gain: Primitive Psychic Hoods are equipment that shields your Psykers from backlash to varying degrees.)

[] [Faith] The Penitentia Rite
Implicitly allowed by a Conclave of the Droman Creed, it is time for the priests and Hymnals of the Federation to learn about and put into practice the safe creation of Penitentias, those whose soul and body have been entirely given to the judgment of the Star Child for crimes unforgivable by mortals, yet judgeable by their willingness to repent and be potentially erased by the disgust of the Unborn Divine.

"Yeah?"
"Bird."
"...What?" Bird asked, uncomfortable at her friend's stare.
"You are my girlfriend." Breeze deadpanned, causing Bird to produce a small 'oh' in surprise.
"But wait, I love the cuddling afterward? It really puts a nice end to a fun night?" She said, mildly confused. Why should she be disappointed after that?
"...you are too precious, you know that?" Breeze said, bonking his head against his girlfriend's shoulder. A moment passed. Then Bird's whole body jerked as she got an epiphany from the heavens.
"...wait. We are dating?" She said, looking confused beyond measure. The genuine emotion was enough to crack Breeze up.

Anyway, coming back to this point, and returning to it more seriously.
Our Thules are a semi-caste system propagated both by direct cloning, and by the integration of (primarily daughters) of existing Thules. Selection in done for excellence in flying capability and psychological compatibility with other Thules.
This has certain side effects :
1) If you're a monogamous person settling down with someone outside the fleet, you're unlikely to be racking up high kill counts and grand records, and thus not going to be rated highly in cloning regimen. Our system, by design, selects for people who put their combat flying prowess over their relationships or mundane hobbies, to the point where most of the flight crew just makes those two one and the same by turning crew into polycule.
2) So, with cloning skewing away from healthy relationships, what of natural children. Again, our eugenic criteria select for people who prioritize flight experience over relationships, so the vast majority of Thules on the shortlist will have no relationships. Now, some won't want any, but that tends not to result in many children. The ones who're responsible again, won't result in many children. It's the ones who pursue a rapid series of trysts and fail to take sexual precautions who'll reproduce (combined with us having pretty advanced med tech (do we have auto-wombs, I think so) that doesn't actually make a pregnancy a flight deck problem.
So yeah, evolutionary speaking the ideal Thule is a hot mess.
OOh, what kind of problems are those?

Nope, they do not know about you.
Yeah, but that will inevitably lead to all progress being lost after some time.
Minor health related ones, growth problems, unwanted medical issues later in life, inability to process some foods in uncommon cases, a whole lot of minor, if aggravating, problems for the people who actually make the clones. When your work is producing people, you don't like to see [Thing that will decrease QoL] popping up anywhere.
You got an Action that will, indefinetly, allow you to ask for direct guidance from the Star Child.
Also rolled. No dice.
Breeze is a male Yeeni, Bird is the female Thule. Breeze cracks up at Birds reaction.
Also, I just want to note that, while true, you are still using the same Genelines you were using at the start of the Quest when the Thules were introduced. You made some tweaks here and there for improved QoL or reaction times, but Thules are primarily the same as they were seven-hundred years ago.

Seems like a diplo ministery job, but sadly they're stuck in Duchy Hell.
Huh, so that's a thing. Cool.
I'm confused - we need two actions here to reach XV, right? Would that put us at Civilian Infrastructure XV (1/2)? Or would one action be enough? I would like civ XV this turn.
Well, I suppose this is probably our next engagement. Our fleet isn't doing anything and is significantly more powerful than theirs, even if they get the black cat company involved. Remember - they have 21 LCs and about 50 frigates.
Either way, we should probably add the following to our next vote:
-[] (free) Make diplomatic contact with the Black Ash Clan & the Black Cat Company, especially inquiring as to the cost of bribing the Black Cat to refuse a contact to attack us.
Hmm. I say we go for it. Maybe turn the subversion onto the Ashan as a whole.
Yeah, that's really the set of things we need for the next ship design arc. We have 16 design points now! One heavy cruiser, an andromeda redesign, frigate redesign, scout redesign & another destroyer! Dedicated minelayer? Finally build a fleet support ship?

You need a total of 5 Actions to Civ XV, or 3 with Federation Post.
Ah. Right, we're 1/2 to 13, not 1/2 to 14. I still think we should get it now. Either it more than doubles our ISC bonus (which has been something like an action a turn, just one we can't direct) or we pick another new trait we like more (like we did for the kin traits). Either way, getting it sooner rather than later makes a lot of sense.
[] Plan: The Highest Milestone We've Ever Hit
-[] Civilian Infrastructure XIII (1/2) x3
-[] (free) Ministry of Subversion, Infiltration, and Interstellar Communication to delay the open capture of Branus for 10 years, focusing their effort on making the change of control happen as peacefully and seamlessly as possible.
-[] (free) Make diplomatic contact with the Black Ash Clan & the Black Cat Company, especially inquiring as to the cost of bribing the Black Cat to refuse a contact to attack us.
-[] (free) swap ISC back to New Dawn R&D
Since we're at 1/2, we could also do something like this, and spend one action on Civ XV next turn. But I see no real reason to delay? Doing it now would get the big bonus faster.

That they do, but I would have much preferred to try talking to them first so we could get better access to their tech and not have to damage their infrastructure.
I wonder if our infiltration will also include converting the ruling class on that planet and we could try using them to petition the High Queen for cooperation with us.
