The INDEX Initiative: Not!XCOM Planquest

Reader mode
[X] Support the admission of Poland. (-12 PS)

I can't in good conscience not support my country.
Also, I imagine full support after saving the capital (top politicians will probably go to sleep with a toy Interceptor to help with nightmares), which means + to Dice Rolls and other goodies.

[X] Keep it intact and online. (???)

Unique resource > bunch of common resources.

100+ infiltrators. No, no, nope.
Open up your doors and don't log out of your accounts, here comes another security sweep.~
 
[X] Support the Research Division. (+2 PS)
[X] Stay out of it.

Voting for both non-support security. Because the last thing we need is for our security sweeps to start looking like witch hunts.

Cheapest new member, it's a good deal.

Would suggest heavy investment into detectors and comm tracing deployment next turn if we want to clean house. I'm fine supporting the research division this turn. Once we roll out tech to every base we can clean out the security and other groups and have reliable folk to swing back around to security research.

Edit: this one, 6 dice + the free in this category should go a long way toward making all our bases more secure.

[] Signal Interceptor Deployment (Stage 2 Bravo Base)
With the signal interceptor having finished development, it is just a matter of deploying it to each INDEX base.
(6/50, 15 Resources per Die)
(Stage 3 Charlie Base, 0/50, 15 Resources per Die)
(Stage 4 Echo Base, 0/50, 15 Resources per Die)
(Stage 5 Foxtrot Base, 0/50, 15 Resources per Die)
(Stage 6 Alpha Base, 0/50, 15 Resources per Die)

Edit2: fixed typo above (security->research)

Nope, too early, if we get hit by a raid and they re-float this thing we're throwing a lot away. Forgive me.

A fully intact UFO is great, although we'll probably need to expend resources to defend it. And even though I have an arsenal of Polish jokes ready to go (my favorite one is about the airplane crashing in the graveyard), you really can't beat the PS price for admitting a new council member and their resources - average PS price for a new council member is ~20-30, so it's a stupid good deal, and they weren't even one of the options.

As for the nerds, well, they need to suck it up. Now that we've got the alien detectors going, it shouldn't be hard to run all the research staff through those.

"So, why did the scan pattern get broken?"
"It seems like they didn't find anything in science, so they just kept investigating that branch until they found something."

Honestly,, the scanners are reason to investigate the other branches as well. We are kind of hyperfocusing on one single area for the simple reason of not finding anything...😅

I'm sympathetic to the argument, and honestly I would be tempted to skip a security review of the science branch next turn.
 
I really wanna keep the UFO online but also we don't know how to get into the alien computers yet, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh

Yeah no we just found a huge nest of the Greys we need to get the sweeps done properly.

Though they themselves were unable to operate it, the Rapid Response Teams held the battleship long enough for specialists to arrive and take over, getting some basic semblance of control over the alien spaceship. Once INDEX got the battleship away from a major city, the organisation had a choice of what to do with the captured UFO.

What does INDEX do with the captured UFO.

@Oshha when this says "online" what exactly does that mean?

I have "remote self destruct" concerns.

I feel secure about this one, though if we do support Security then it needs to be done thoroughly next turn.

Keep the relatively intact alien ship as intact as we found it for research purposes - @Oshha is it likely to get shipped to Enigma Site for further study? If so we might have to look at upgrading Enigma to expand its defences further.

Poland - fuck yeah!

We just discovered major infiltration in the Military Division, so we definitely need to have Security check out Research division, especially if they've been uncooperative - we just need to make sure we invest several dice into the investigation next turn.

It's future is currently undecided.

Maybe they are tired of being constantly checked for seemingly no reason. We checked them both of the previous quarters, and security wants to check again because they didn't catch anyone...

The second security sweep of the Military Divisions is just as eventful as the review of the Research Division, but for the opposite reason. This is because rather than uncovering nothing, the Security Division uncovered a vast amount of alien infiltrators, approaching the triple digits in number. Unfortunately, none of the infiltrators were held long-term as those who were captured alive shortly expired via unknown means.

Super confused why everyone is trusting the security division or wants them to do another review of research right now. Isn't security a sub-branch of military (where we found the infiltrators)?

We need to clean house in security by installing detectors and comms tracking on all bases. Once that's done and we've cleared security then we'll have personnel we can trust to audit other departments. Otherwise we're trusting crooked cops to tell us if there are any mobsters around in a business the mob wants to disrupt.

This ship isn't a unique resource, in fact we have one already. I would be a lot more comfortable with the ship if we cracked the alien Computers or the power. As right now I have to fear that the alien leaders can eventually remotely order the ship to detonate… and we lose, who knows how much.
