Playerbase: Wait... Mechs are possible?
QM: Someone do a roll please
*Nat 100 gets rolled*
QM: Welp, looks like the people demand mechs
"NOW WE SHALL MAKE ROBOTS AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE AND THREATEN CIVIL WAR WHILE CLAIMING TECHNOLOGICAL SUPIRIORITY!"

"I just want my Moon Base"
That seems more accurate.
Real Life isn't Accurite its Disappointing as all hell.

We still haven't conquered the Moon Yet and that's SAD.

You know right afterwards, he rolled to figure out how they would get said mechs, right.

QM: well, to get mechs, you are going to have to sacrifice a carrier
Players: WTF! Why? Where. We'll immediately invade and.
QM: you can't do that! Umm.. because this place is famous for it's defense in WW2. You'll need to exercise diplomacy, to get the mechs. Wait a second while I make some rolls for this oc nation
Players: this is bullshit!
QM: you should thank me! You rolled a 2, so I decided it wouldn't be one of your nuclear carriers that was beached
Players: so how isolated are these guys?
QM: a 3. These guys are basically North Korea
Players: perfect! Now tells us their special cultural trai, and we can start setting up the special fbi raid to free our boys, and install a puppet government
Qm:
Players: umm, QM? What is their special cultural trait?
QM: they're femboy hookers
Players: what...
QM: Also, I just rolled, and they already have working mecha

Players: what do you mean some.of the sailors refuse to return, and are seeking asylum
QM: well, I rolled and it appears that some of your soldiers used to be stonewall protestors
Players: protestors? Protestors! You can be serious! I know we spent 5 years cracking down hard on that, but when we compromised on that, this shit was supposed to stop
QM: I believe i said that cracking down on protests would have long term consequences
Players: We couldn't let the commies win!
QM: I don't know how many times I have to tell you the protests weren't a communist plot. Anyways, moving on from femboy country
Player: We actually have another space roll coming up. How did we do!
QM: Another 1. I'm sorry, but interest in the program has died. You're next flight to the moon will be the last one.
Player:WTF! But I just wanted a space base! 15 years of visits and we could set one up! We even beat the soviets fair and square!
QM: I'm sorry!

Player: Why the hell did we vote for nam! I know we got 97 on the deception roll to start the war, but everything's been ruined ever since
QM: maybe your fellow players shouldn't invent reasons to invade every country I introduce
Players: it's still bullshit we can't invade and conquer femboy country
QM: fine, I'll let you do it-
Players: Finally some action!
QM: they just get super mechs.
Player: I just wanted a moon base... But noooo! It has been too long since a war. We just need to go invade some random country!
Players: is this just all a trap?
QM: what gave it away: the protests, or the art and media posts being filled with antiwar messages
Players: ... Fine, we'll stop postponing fulfilling our vow to get out of Vietnam, and just do it already. Just roll for how well our extraction will go. How badly will south Vietnam be off once we leave?

QM: Yeah...your not gonna like this.

Player: Thats it..Army Reforms and doing something Productive...So who wants to end the Guatemalan Civil War correctly this time? We've been putting that off. Big DICK Energy and we can layer it in police actions.

Player 2: We'd have to fight the CIA for that one.

Player: What are those guy's gonna do! Destroy our Rep...WE'RE RICHARD NIXON! and we're gonna shunt off our mistakes to the next guy...anyone Feel like a 70s Regan?

Also guys, here's everything that's been put up so far. Might wanna adjust your votes and/or check if there's something you left out or wanna leave out.

QM: oh, you mean that time you almost destroyed the world because you kept trying to invade the same place over and over
Players: we stopped, didn't we!
QM: well, you now have have a choice. Step down, or go through with the trial.
Players: we are rolling, right!
Players: Right?
Players: oh fuck it, just let us resign. How bad was our final space roll

QM: huh, it was a 73. Decent machine, and if an era, but nothing special.
Players: is that the first roll in 3 years that is above a 20, but below a 90?
QM: huh, maybe I should check my dice...
Players: you have got to be kidding me

So, the more we escalate the situation, the more likely china and Soviet union will be to come and try to handle the situation. The minute that happens, I'm not sure we'll get to keep any of the existing research or researchers we have. We need to keep control of the situation just so that we aren't forced to give them up. I'm not sure the planes are worth the tech advancements, when things could go so fubar.

[X] Steal the boat
- [X] The American Navy has littered on our pristine shores, and we of course do not want to trouble them, therefor we shall seize the ship for disposal, where it shall be recycled into our new fleet
 
Player: Space Shuttles...Really?
QM: Its what we got.

Player: I've got a suggestion for that 100 diplomacy roll
QM: I thought you weren't interested in anything not space-
Player: an international space station
QM: you are really desperate, aren't you. Fine, I'll give it to you.
...
QM: oh God, he's crying. I better not tell him that he may have to roll >70 for space base survival if Mecha space war ever starts up

Ok, how exactly are we expected to keep this. I don't think we have enough planes to fight off another American carrier, NVM every single carrier in the us Navy, along with the rest of their fleet. Let's not piss off the superpowers just yet

edit: also, do we need to add an option for those of us who explicitly don't want to steal any shit from the ship? I really don't want us to try our luck like that

Skies Unknown
You could barely stop the shaking in your palms after the general dismissed you from the brief but intense meeting. By the looks of things, your two other compatriots were no better, and the three of you quickly filed into one of the complex's cafeterias for some breakfast. Perhaps a cup or two of tea, as well… for the nerves, of course.

For a long while, the three of you do nothing but eat dumplings and congee in peace and quiet, none willing to break the silence. Until…

"What should—", Jin began, the faint tremors in his voice betrayed the anxiousness he still felt from the briefing.

"Quiet!", Kai hissed quietly. "Not here. Not with so many people. Later." That had put a lid on any other conversation. Now in absolute silence, the three of you finished your breakfasts and your teas. Then, without a single word, you bring your trays, dishes and cups to the assigned counter for collection and shuffle out of the room.

It does not take long to find an empty meeting room so early in the morning.

"Duc", Kai calls, "Lock the door, please." You do as requested, agreeing with the logic. "So, what now?" Jin asks, starting to calm down, now that you're all out of anyone else's earshot.

"Now, we do as asked. Nothing more, nothing less." Kai reasoned. He was good at that, getting people to focus on the problem and working together to find a solution. Only his young age had kept him from immediately being selected as the project lead for his team, too unproven. But with this opportunity, maybe that'll change.

"Jin, you know the numbers and the technical knowhow, so we'll leave you to that. No doubt that's why the general handpicked you." Jin was timid and frail-looking, but there was no doubting his knowledge of mathematics and, more recently, computing technology as well, making him well-suited to figuring out the physics and aeronautics calculations involved in their new secret project.

"Due, we're counting on you and your experience working on the new Iron Tigers for the materials and alloys you think we'll need. No need for samples, just the necessary data to come up with mock-ups. I imagine we'll be in the theoretical phase for a long while yet. But hopefully, not too long."

"Sure", you reply. "Our team lead's had us focusing more on getting a heat resistant and lightweight alloy for your team's Hot Seat. There are a few we've yet to present but think are very promising."

"Good, we'll need those. Meanwhile I'll compile all the pertinent data on the engine and structural tests. Captain Hiro's giving us some great data. And despite his complaining, I imagine he'll buckle down and keep doing it with how stubborn he gets."

"Now," Kai began to finish, "If that's everything we should—"

"What do we call it?" Jin's interruption is as surprising to Kai as it is to you, he's never done that. Not even to his own team.

"What do we call what?" Kai asked.

"Our project. It needs a name." Jin replied.

"Well… we haven't even started yet. We can list appropriate ones in the meantime then present them when we meet—"

"Zhuque." Now it was your turn to interrupt Kai.

"What." he blurts out.

"Zhuque. A name for the project. For the craft."

"Vermillion Bird." Jin rolls the name across his tongue, then smiles. "I like it."

"Huh." Kai muses, "It does feel appropriate. Project Zhuque." Then he, too, grins. "Alright, that'll do for now. Let's get to it."

And with that, the three of you exit the room and get to your tasks, nervousness gone, and ready to fulfill the general's "request."

To come up with a design to beat the Blackbird.



Note: Zhuque. The Vermillion Bird of the South. One of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations. Also known as Suzaku to the Japanese. Jujak to the Koreans, and Chu Tước to the Vietnamese. It's symbol is fire and a design that could potentially fit the role of a high-speed, high-altitude scout and a space plane capable of going even higher than the Blackbird, perhaps even up to space. In theory, at least. Who knows?

Again, this is just a design. At best, it'll be little more than theorized data on capability, equipment, alloy, etc. Maybe a sketch as well. The general decided to go ahead and ask some talented personnel to think up a design they can all use in a proposal for the Great Leader.

Also, I REALLY love Ace Combat. Hence the name.

I was thinking that if we are trying to get ahead of the "Evil Commies with their Evil Plans" spin the capitalist media is for sure going to try to put on this, we should avoid doing anything too provocative. Not to mention that the carrier is likely to be under a 24/7 watch, if only from all the sailors who arrived on board it but probably also CIA once we contact America too, which is going to make getting anything to "disappear" off it a whole lot harder to do unnoticed. Getting caught stealing military secrets will do a lot of damage to the narrative we are trying to build.

Nothing stopping us from trying to get what we can in terms of photographs or video if we can sneak in the cameras, but getting stuff in the carrier out is a bit too much heat for me.
 
We have a native American on the island?
A FtM Transgender doctor that immigrated in 1965 and is currently leading your nations medical ministry.

Their journey to Guangchou was made into a movie trilogy, with the first being Action-Horror, the second Action, and the last Action-Comedy, due to fleeing America, running through Arabia and Vietnam, and reaching your shores in a hot air balloon. (Among other things.)
You knew what you were doing when you wrote that chapter.

It would be a nice counterpart to the response to the stonewall riots.
As a note, the USA is in an even worse position than OTL in regards to LGBTQ+ Rights and Gender Equality, with the Stonewall Riots being much bloodier and deadlier than OTL.

This is mostly due to Guangchou being so openly LGBTQ+ supportive, and anti-communist presidents cracking down even harder onto any civil rights/reforms due to the percieved communist plot.

Mmmm. Tough. Well we can always make another design. A factory, though. That's harder to replace.
