Huh.
A smuggling ring would probably be one of the more interesting outcomes. Hard to think how exactly they would do it to a reasonable degree, but there's probably certain goods that could be worthwhile to do it with.

So then, what did we get?
Martial 1: Integrating Reforms DC41: 43 + 11 + 24 = 78 Success
Martial 2: Backsplash DC31: 67 + 11 = 78 Success
Diplomacy 1: Lystheni(Making Demands) DC41: 35 + 11 + 16 = 62 Success
Diplomacy 2: Lystheni(Trade Sanctions): DC31: 2 + 11 = 13 (Major?) Failure
Stewardship 1: Colony Equipment: DC26: 65 + 10 = 75 Greater Success
Stewardship 2: Administrative Overclocking: DC31: 85 + 10 = 95 Success
Intrigue 1: The Best Way To Deal With Pickpockets: DC16: 20 + 12 = 32 Success
Intrigue 2: Board of Shareholders: DC36: 93 + 12 = 105 Greater Critical Success
Learning 1: Quarian Tech Adoption: 35,000: DC11: 51 + 11 = 62 Greater Success
Learning 2: Dietary Supplements: DC31: 36 + 11 = 47 Success

Maybe some ambitious corporations are doing it?
Maybe they counter by using private contracts?

How does one fail setting a trade sanction??
Safe trip you. And have fun.
Um, it's never been a problem before.
The GM simply takes whoever rolled first for a given Task, and ignores the rest.
Whatever is easier for you though.
Smuggling? The Lystheni don't have THAT much money to spend.
Increased economic hit to us because of bungled implementation or need to pay subsidies to merchants?
Merchants detained or taken hostage? Shooting incident?
It's a regular failure, so consequences shouldn't be too dire, but there will still be Consequences.
Best place it could have landed, to be honest.Sadly, even with the call ten, take ten system, trade sanctions is still getting that 2

Honestly, this is not bad at all. We can definitely take the hit from trade sanctions with our income flow. We'll have to see what the non-financial repercussions of this failure means for us. Does this mean that the Lystheni takes our traders hostage? With the success from Backstab, Dealing with Pickpockets and Making Demands, we're in a good position with regards to the Lystheni.

Just saw this, hope it's your good* set of in-laws. If it's not, I wish you luck in enduring it.
*I remember you claiming that one set was significantly more stressful to have/be around than the other. Hence, a good and not good pair.
Not really. Average of 49.7.

The corporations were incredibly pissed off by our decision to stop the trade, but we managed to calm them down?
Maybe even by exposing several CEO as Lystheni impersonators?

I have but one set of in-laws, who are fantastic.
There then is my biological family, from whom I drew the lion's share of the inspiration for Jaffur's immediate family members in AtE.
I prefer my in-laws.

The Lystheni intercept our plans and detain our merchants to try to force our borders open? Or they salvage their ships after detaining the merchants?

Shouldn't administrative over clocking be a greater success too? It succeeded by 64

Well, whether I'm a man at all is an unanswered and to-be-unanswered question.

To be fair, the fact you prefer gender neutral pronouns on the internet isn't on the front page here. You might want to add it to this quest too since not everyone also follows D:AtE too.

Fair point.

While you learned to write, I studied the blade.
Just a normal Failure.
This is just a normal Success.
This is a Greater Success.
Overall, it should:
Martial 1: Integrating Reforms DC41: 43 + 11 + 24 = 78 Success
Martial 2: Backsplash DC31: 67 + 11 = 78 Success
Diplomacy 1: Lystheni(Making Demands) DC41: 35 + 11 + 16 = 62 Success
Diplomacy 2: Lystheni(Trade Sanctions): DC31: 2 + 11 = 13 Failure
Stewardship 1: Colony Equipment: DC26: 65 + 10 = 75 Success
Stewardship 2: Administrative Overclocking: DC31: 85 + 10 = 95 Greater Success
Intrigue 1: The Best Way To Deal With Pickpockets: DC16: 20 + 12 = 32 Success
Intrigue 2: Board of Shareholders: DC36: 93 + 12 = 105 Greater Critical Success
Learning 1: Quarian Tech Adoption: 35,000: DC11: 51 + 11 = 62 Greater Success
Learning 2: Dietary Supplements: DC31: 36 + 11 = 47 Success
You know, I skipped quite a few pages, but there's another possible reason why there's fission research.
Those guys are building a navy, right?
For that, they need eezo.
But they may also need eezo for fusion missiles.
However....we, in real life, use nuclear fission to generate a fusion reaction in our nukes.
EDIT: What's concerning is that we can detect the fission reaction happening while in outer space.
A properly shielded nuclear fission reactor gives off background level radiation, which means to detect it, you need sensors inside the reactor.
The fact that we can pick it up on the outside might be why they're shuttling people in and out.
They're exchanging long term radiation exposure for short term radiation at a higher cost of fuel and supplies.
