You'll note that Elder Haman cut that part from the quote, so kind of hard to read that.
Actually durin must have edited it, as it also says "Now" instead of "NO"

no, he is waiting for them to be found so that he can act
1. it will help now
2. you do not
3. fixed
4. no you can't. the only time when you can end or change a currently underway action is when I specifically say you can. In this case the time needed to get Archmagos Tranth fully briefed on where Scott is up to would take over a year and is not considered worthwhile

That seems really odd since if we find the psykers year one we can't do anything for four years before Lin can get an action to deal with it. Unless finding the psykers will cause a miniturn where we deal with them and therefore not affect any future actions?

Frederick helps Jane in the first year with the missing psyker while doubling down on it and Ridculy searching at his own space the past and the future. Afterwards they go Spyker Hunting. For added fluff bonus I placed a make time action for Jane in the first year as well.
Open for suggestion to diplo and biologis action.

The assault option has a base chance of 40%. Because of four targets it lowers to 10%. The Bombardment already gives +24% and will most likely increase to +29% or higher this turn thereby negating the increased difficulty of assaulting four places. Frederick gives +40% and +5% for palace bringing the chance to 74%. Without an DD to risky so only two targets with 94% chance or higher.

These regiments specialise in Avernus wilds -both to fight it and to use it. Set up as Avernus-only regiments their usefullness off planet is low but on planet they are the go to choice for operations away from the city walls. This means that they handle in peacetime worrisome wildlife and protect VIPs from them while in wartime use their knowledge of the terrain and the wildlifes behavior to engage enemy armies in prolonged harrassing attacks.
Quest mechanics wise they should end with an addtinional bonus to fighting wildlife, an additional bonus to engage in harrassing, an additional/consistent bonus to homeground advantage and the ability to use wildlife in their harrassing attacks either as an additional bonus or as an additional attack (like the bombartment cacti had during the ork ground invasion). On the downside they can not really (as in at all) perform offworld (or outside their homeground) because they are to focused on their terrain and the dangers and probaly get mali in any engagement not beeing harrassing or skreening against it. Positively they really stack all possible boni in their area of expertise and would perform really well.

The "Where Are They?" action already incorporates the psyker hunting aspect so doing the separate Psyker Hunting action is needless. In fact it's detrimental right now because the Psyker Hunting action focuses on new rogue psykers, while the threat we're facing is existing rogue psykers in hiding.

Okay, some minor changes; An action on burning through orks in munitorum, and Rotbart spending an extra action on Where are they? Added a Mentoring: Beta so as to better fit in Expedite options.
Bombardment is taken to boost the Assault on the Ork strongholds.
I'm uncertain on Void Command actions, as I understand we can only take 1 Construct Action? I also understand we were planning on quite a number of Large Shipyards?

I like the general plan, but there are a few things I'd switch up.
For the Explorator actions, I'd really like to get shieldbreaker rounds reverse engineered. With DD it's over a fifty percent chance of working (plus reroll), and it's only a one year commitment. The rounds seem like they're pretty dedicated hero-killers (specifically having the ability to get through all sorts of shielding), and the other specialty round at least was able to be fired from an Impaler, so we wouldn't necessarily need to wait until we managed to get the Super-Exitus rifle figured out before using it.
For psyker actions, I'd say we basically need Ridcully to do a Divination for future attacks at the end of the current five year period. Maybe have him and Tamia do the destructive frequency research instead of the melody composition?—the Immaterial Resonance research at least seems like it would have a decent chance of getting buffed with a success there, and depending on when we manage to finish dealing with the direct fallout of the missing psykers it would potentially give us all of next turn for long-term research without being blind to attacks.
Your first personal action is missing anything for years 3-5—potentially less depending on how long it takes to finish dealing with the missing psykers, but wasting a slot would suck.
Also, I am STRONGLY against starting the city upgrades either while the missing psykers are still missing OR at the end of the turn for the long ones (Dis and the hive expansions). We get a major defensive malus for the first third of the process (four years for Dis), and we don't want to get hit while that happens. That's a real issue because we've been told that whatever the psykers are up to is as much of a danger as the first Daemonic Incursion (making being without fully functional defenses being Bad News in case we aren't able to shut it down), and our scrying for external threats only means we're reasonably certain that nothing will be invading us until five years from now (other than the psyker or Warp stuff, and five years from now will give us two years in which our capital's defenses are compromised and we might be facing an invasion).
I like the general plan, but there are a few things I'd switch up.
For the Explorator actions, I'd really like to get shieldbreaker rounds reverse engineered. With DD it's over a fifty percent chance of working (plus reroll), and it's only a one year commitment. The rounds seem like they're pretty dedicated hero-killers (specifically having the ability to get through all sorts of shielding), and the other specialty round at least was able to be fired from an Impaler, so we wouldn't necessarily need to wait until we managed to get the Super-Exitus rifle figured out before using it.
For psyker actions, I'd say we basically need Ridcully to do a Divination for future attacks at the end of the current five year period. Maybe have him and Tamia do the destructive frequency research instead of the melody composition?—the Immaterial Resonance research at least seems like it would have a decent chance of getting buffed with a success there, and depending on when we manage to finish dealing with the direct fallout of the missing psykers it would potentially give us all of next turn for long-term research without being blind to attacks.
Your first personal action is missing anything for years 3-5—potentially less depending on how long it takes to finish dealing with the missing psykers, but wasting a slot would suck.
Also, I am STRONGLY against starting the city upgrades either while the missing psykers are still missing OR at the end of the turn for the long ones (Dis and the hive expansions). We get a major defensive malus for the first third of the process (four years for Dis), and we don't want to get hit while that happens. That's a real issue because we've been told that whatever the psykers are up to is as much of a danger as the first Daemonic Incursion (making being without fully functional defenses being Bad News in case we aren't able to shut it down), and our scrying for external threats only means we're reasonably certain that nothing will be invading us until five years from now (other than the psyker or Warp stuff, and five years from now will give us two years in which our capital's defenses are compromised and we might be facing an invasion).

Okay, I'll fill that in with.. something. But we really can't have Ridcully doing Divinations every 5 years, as we're going to want him doing research actions (that take 10, 7, 2) years. Shuffling actions around with the Where are they? thing unsolved is also somewhat complicated.
The only Adminstration Actions are: City Defense Upgrade, Found City, Railway Line (Duat), Railway Line (Azure Islands), Economic Focus. I'm already taking Railwlay Line (Duat), so, I don't know what else to fill it in with, if I'm not taking City Defense Upgrade.
I think the matter should be resolved by T3, latest, though?
I'm a bit tired on this planmaking, I'm hoping someone can start making edits to it, haha. DD with conditionals is a pain.

Econ focus: Thrones
We have a deficit on those and it makes a useful holding action while we sort out the potential invasion.

Okay. The reason I don't want to put Shieldbreaker rounds is that we might not conclude the Where Are They action satisfactorily in Y1, in which case which case the DD and reroll would be assigned to it on Y2, where it is definitely more immediately important. The Power Armor options are basically guaranteed success, which is a safe option, given we might want reroll/DD elsewhere.
I don't think so in regard to Divination. Our major threats (Valinor, Ork Domain 1, 2, Garkill) are all curtailed pretty badly of late, with Valinor losing a good chunk of their navy and an internal crisis, while Ork Domains 1 & 2 are fighting over the remains of Garkill's domain, while Garkill himself is dead.
I think I'll have a look at how I can shuffle actions and DD for conditionals around Where Are They to fit Tamia and Ridcully, later. Going to be a pain to fill Tamia's actions, though.
I've moved all the City Upgrades to Y3 or later. I believe Ridcully and Jane's 2 years should be enough to resolve things by then.
Replaced Dis upgrade.

If anyone could arrange Telepathica action for conditionals around Tamia/Ridcully for actions, it would be appreciated..
I'm uncertain on Void Command actions. I understand we're limited to only 1 Construct Action/year? I'd take more otherwise.
