Updating based on feedback. Anything else?

[] Plan: The Seyfert rises
-[] [Free] Consecrate In Sacred Sand (K'ali A'shi)
-[] [Free] Turn off Cry for the Future
-[] [Free] Add 355 Choirs to Dutiful Spirits (for 555), 105 to See The Seer (for 555), Put the rest into Love Unto Death.
-[] [Military] Design New Voidship Classes (4 actions, 3 normal + 1 Heartbeat of Industry) 650x4=2.600 DP
--[] Complete The Seyfert, (1.600+2.600=4200/4.200 DP)


If we can do the thing with Unto Works Generational I'd do it like this:

--[] Complete The Seyfert, (1.600+2.600=4200/4.200 DP)
-[] Write-in - Occupy and tentatively begin Colonizing The Cursed Worlds, potentially avoiding planetary occupation until Ashen Fields has been sung for long enough to reduce the levels of corruption to manageable levels. We still have more than a thousand choirs on that, after all.

1. I don't suppose Unto Works Generational applies to building the Seyfert? It is a multigenerational action that's basically 4 more DP. We'd probably throw the extra action towards expanding into The Cursed Worlds before the Mashan block us out of future expansion.
2. Can we free-action request that they don't do that? It leaves us pretty bottled up... again.

1. It does not.
2. I forgot to update the map with your gains, but it is far too late here to do it now. Safe to say, you won't get bottled in that direction.

Pls could you change it to K'ali A'shi (the former capital of the Grove)

You need to conquer Asharru first for that.

I mean I wasn't exactly expecting mechanical relevance, considering the rest of the options, but I didn't really see any changes on their history page save for being declared Kin. No new Melodies, so… can they Awaken Machine Spirits or something now?

I refuse to hold off on the Dreadnought any longer, unless you mean doing the Ancient Sites, in which yeah, I'd like to do 9-12 (depending on the Asharru conquest etc.)

Dunno, maybe direct 555 Choirs to help with Dreadnought construction? Not like we have anything to lose by trying, we have such a glut anyways.

Considering we're likely to finish the Dreadnought this turn, can we just free action sneeze their way :V

They've generally proven themselves to be uncommunicative at best and hostile at worst, but taking a full action to take like 3 systems is like… bleh.

If we gotta do it we gotta do it I guess.

Edit: Also, what's Dancing Buskers?

Dutiful Spirits I get, but why See The Seer? It's explicitly a Song requiring 50 Choirs, not one with an open-ended Choir number...

Eh, we're bigger. We want to catch people scrying us. And I figure putting it at 555 is a callout to our god that might mean we get lucky in catching somebody. That's worth 5 choirs not doing anything useful.

Just assimilate the mashans,lmao
We outnumber them and outpopulate them so hard

That's just you making assumptions based on the limited map that we can see. We've never seen the extent of the Mashan *and* they've consistently managed to ebat back every threat that they've faced.

Remember that during the war with the Slaanesh cult, while the Shipwrights needed the Federation's reinforcements to not get pushed back hard the Mashan merely grind their way forward subsector by subsector.

The Mashan are likely significantly bigger than what we can see.

Just like the Duchy extends outside of our visible map the Mashan do as well.

And we don't have a hope in hell of unification with the Duchy until we'll after the end of the quest.

I doubt we, a theocracy, can easily assimilate another theocracy that worships other gods.

I remember back in initial diplomacy they were furious we wanted their humans to leave them and join us, and the star child is against humans worshipping any god but star child.

They were extremely insulted at our assertion that they could not take care of their human subjects/refugees.
