There's an unspoken rule that everybody who plays bingo follows, which is that if Ridcully enters a game, everyone in the room must put aside their differences to prevent him from winning, it hasn't worked yet, but ever since that kid succeeded in delivering that pizza, they've got a fire in their eyes.

A fire to get Bingo.

Oh you have to love how Avernus makes everything so extreme and lethal to a comedic and absurdly awesome way. From sword dueling to unarmed Martial Arts, bush wacking and plumbing Avernus never ceases to amaze and delight.:D. Heck I wonder if there is a Battle Psykers combat league sport in the Unseen University.

It's pretty good. I also find the idea that mittens has xaviear order pizzas for him to steal semi-regularly as a form of training/amusement hilarious. I also find the idea of a pizza delivery place taking it as a fucking challenge, to be approached with layered contingencies and a coordinated fireteam equally amusing. It's just so essentially avanatie.

Though a bit of constructive criticism, the final delivery could stand to be fleshed out a bit. Ie a few of of them lasting long enough to try and lead him away, and maybe something like a warning that he's dissaperd right before the main character sees him. Make it feel a bit more frantic.

@Enjou you have not responded to my point about wanting more pop growth to deal with casualties, nor have you addressed the fact that basic resource sorts are in no way a major limiter- AM, EM, time, and population are our limiters, none of which will be affected by Eigel. Is 9 Admin worth losing out on the added demographic boost? What about medical projects for the sake if super plagues or major campaigns? Isaac could help, directly, counter the major losses we might take from warfare and various ills. How will Eigels boost help us, in the long run? Thrones aren't really a problem and won't be a problem at all in a couple of turns and im fact is only a problem rarely when we have temporary shortages which can be addressed through other means like with Admin actions or diplomacy) but more people is always better and, again, we don't have a lot of methods to boost it, and in fact will boost production for resources among *many* other benefits making Eigils bonus rather redundant.

Huh; my Omake got the canon tag, cool. I still find it a bit amusing that a single comment on pizza delivery on a deathworld spawned three separate omakes.

Then again on Avernus Logistics is Serious Business.
 
While I still believe that a medical administrator would have been better in the long term for Avernus, I cannot deny Miss Siedel will be very well placed as the chief Administrator of Avernus.
Admin: 37
Combat: 29
Grandmaster Avernite Administrator (+8A, +5C, less likely to die)- Signe Seidel is the very image of a Avernite Administator, able to flawlessly manage entire departments worth of work while fending off anything the world can throw at her.
Survival Instincts (+2I, +4C, less likely to die) - Signe Seidel has always had an instinctive ablity to spot damge in all of its forms, an ability that has been determined to be a subconscious manifestation of psychic talent to weak to require training.
Honest Bureaucrat (+2A, +4P)- Signe Seidel has always been an utterly honest bureaucrat, something to be proud of even on Avernus.
 
I think that I will celebrate the info that Durin had give us by trying a omake later in this week. With the resolve to made it will as little gramatical erros as possible. Also the pizza squad and the pizza rider were very nice too ^^
 
@Durin Mitten stat sheets seem to be incorrrct again (it once again shows wrong Combat score, should be 16+32=48).

Turn One Hundred and Two
  • Threadmarks
    • Turn One Hundred and Two
    Two Hundred and Thirty-five years since the Founding of Avernus
    Five year turn

    Currently the Imperial Trust remains at a state of high alert, with there being no indications of an Waaagh being imminent but no one daring let down their guard in case one arrives. You personally guess that you have between ten and twenty years, though you would not be surprised to be proven wrong. One good bit of news that you recently received is that Vanaheim is working on the ships that you ordered from them a decade ago, and expects to be finished within the next decade, which will significantly increase your naval power.

    General Richards is continuing her efforts to prepare the Avernite military for the Waaaghs to come. She has recently proposed adding an artillery arm to your PDF, training PDF Void Infantry and building an Ace Fighter Academy. Each of these projects will be highly useful against a New Waaagh, and General Richards would like to complete them all before one starts if at all possible.
    Choose Three
    One Four years, One Two years, One One year

    Expand PDF- General Richards has recently put forward a plan to approximately triple the size of your PDF, to over an army group. This is easily affordable and will end the current situation of Avernus having one of the smaller percentages of its population in the military of the Imperial Trust. General Richards strongly advises that you begin this project immediately.

    Time: 10 years

    Cost: 3,400,000,000 Thrones, 740,000,000 Material, 17,000,000 Promethium, 64,000,000 Advanced Material.
    Upkeep per year: 180,000,000 Thrones, 40,000,000 Material, 7,100,000 Promethium, 1,100,000 Advanced Material.
    Reward: Triple the size of your PDF by recruiting 11,837 PDF Infantry Regiments, 6,987 PDF Light Infantry Regiments, 6,634 PDF Mechanised Infantry Regiments, 7,504 PDF Heavy Infantry Regiments, 7,202 PDF Armour Regiments, 7,312 PDF Rough Rider Regiments, 1,369 PDF Siege Infantry Brigades, 1,400 PDF Transport Regiments.

    Locked- Nine out of Ten years completed


    Life Guard- General Richards has recently put forward a proposal to form another six Life Guard Regiments, modelled on the Governor's Own. This would greatly expand the number of incredibly elite soldiers that you can field, though training them will take time. Currently it is not decided who the new Life-Guard Regiments would be assigned to, though Saint Lin, High Grandmaster Ridcully and General Richards are de finites.

    Time: 10 years

    Cost: 7,100,000 Thrones, 430,000 Material, 120,000 Promethium, 310,000 Advanced Material, 7,400 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 1,400,000 Thrones, 87,000 Material, 60,000 Promethium, 31,000 Advanced Material, 370 Exotic Material.
    Reward: recruit 6 more Life Guard Regiments

    Locked- Six out of Ten years completed


    Helltrooper Power Siege Infantry- General Richards has put forward a plan to equip your Helltrooper Siege Infantry with power armour. This will greatly increase their combat power and life expectancy at a surprisingly affordable price. You are advised to begin this project immediately and have been told that General Richards is working on plans to begin similar upgrades for the rest of your Helltrooper Regiments.

    Time: 9 years

    Cost: 585,000,000 Thrones, 50,600,000 Material, 1,730,000 Promethium, 14,100,000 Advanced Material, 8,860 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 35,900,000 Thrones, 2,620,000 Material, 759,000 Promethium, 471,000 Advanced Material, 73 Exotic Material.
    Reward: upgrade 84 Helltrooper Siege Infantry Regiments to Helltrooper Power Siege Infantry Regiments.

    Locked- Six out of Nine years completed


    PDF: Artillery and Transport- Currently your forces lack the sheer weight of firepower that massed artillery can provide when you are on campaign. General Richards would like to change this by forming ten thousand regiments of PDF Artillery, and entire army. To supply this force on the move she would need to greatly expand the number of transport regiments that you can field, also to around ten thousand. Despite the increase in capabilities that this would provide it is still dealing with a relativity small number of people and so requires a far shorter training time then other options.

    Time: 5 years

    Cost: 220,000,000 Thrones, 59,000,000 Material, 7,700,000 Promethium, 720,000 Advanced Material, 8,860 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 9,300,000 Thrones, 3,700,000 Material, 3,300,000 Promethium, 12,000 Advanced Material.
    Reward: Recruit 10,000 PDF Artillery Regiments, Recruit 8,000 PDF Transport Regiments.


    PDF: Void Infantry- Currently Avernus has a large force of power armoured Helltrooper Void Infantry but lacks any normal Void Infantry. This gives you a highly elite strike force but means that you lack the numbers to properly garrison all of your warships, let alone your defences as well. General Richards has put forward a plan to recruit two armies of PDF Void Infantry, which would give you enough forces not not only properly garrison your warships and defences but fully garrison the warships and have entire corps of PDF in reserve for expansions to your fleet. Given just hoe much Orks use boarding this could prove to be essential in the years to come.

    Time: 6 years

    Cost: 190,000,000 Thrones, 31,000,000 Material, 400,000 Promethium, 6,400,000 Advanced Material.
    Upkeep per year: 8,000,000 Thrones, 1,800,000 Material, 180,000 Promethium, 110,000 Advanced Material.
    Reward: Recruit 20,000 PDF Void Infantry Regiments.


    Ace Pilot Academy- Avernus has now built up enough institutional experience on piloting that General Richard believes that creating an Ace Pilot Academy is worthwhile. As well as increasing the average skill of your pilots this will allow you to train Ace Fighter Wings, which if equipped with the more advanced technology that you have access to will be an incredible force in the skies.

    Time: 8 years

    Cost: 30,000,000 Thrones, 6,000,000 Material, 3,000,000 Metal, 1,200,000 Promethium, 140,000 Advanced Material, 15,000 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 3,000,000 Thrones, 600,000 Material, 300,000 Metal, 120,000 Promethium, 70,000 Advanced Material, 300 Exotic Material.
    Reward: Ace Fighter Academy in Dis, +5 to air skill and allows the training of Ace Air Wings


    Power Armoured Militia- Currently a large number of Avernites have managed to acquire their own suits of power armour, either by personal wealth or as part of a group. General Richards believes that by providing tax cuts to the owners of these suits as long as they reach a certain required skill level, she will be able to recruit a massive powered armoured militia force. This will take some time to take effect and to train the new power armoured militia task forces and be very expensive but the reward is estimated to be over a hundred and twenty million powered armoured militiamen, an incredible force. It should be noted that despite their armour this force will not be nearly effective as your regulars due to training.

    Time: 20 years

    Cost: 39,000,000,000 Thrones, 3,900,000,000 Material, 390,000,000 Metal, 309,000,000 Promethium, 7,900,000 Advanced Material.
    Upkeep: Estimated 8.5 billion Thrones a year
    Reward: Recruit 1 power armoured militia regiment per 10 militia siege infantry brigades, currently 12,000., Power Armoured Militia Regiments have +20 combat skill from superior training.


    Expand Helguard- The third expansion proposal that General Richards has put forth will greatly expand the size of your Helguard. This will give you an entire corps of soldiers able to utterly annihilate all but the strongest foes, and entire divisions of heavy armour. On the downside it will take a long time to gather and train this number of Helguard, and it will be very expensive for to maintain. General Richards considers this to be the lowest priority of the military expansions due to cost.

    Time: 17 years

    Cost: 2,400,000,000 Thrones, 220,000,000 Material, 12,000,000 Promethium, 66,000,000 Advanced Material, 1,100,000 Exotic Material .
    Upkeep per year: 340,000,000 Thrones, 31,000,000 Material, 4,100,000 Promethium, 4,200,000 Advanced Material, 37,000 Exotic Material.
    Reward: Triple the size of your Helguard by recruiting 122 Helguard Power Infantry Regiments, 81 Helguard Mechanised Power Infantry Regiments, 60 Helguard Power Drop Infantry Regiments, 74 Helguard Scout Infantry Regiments, 25 Helguard Fast Armour Regiments, 47 Helguard Armour Regiments, 74 Helguard Jetbike Regiments, 400 Helguard Vanquisher Regiments, 400 Helguard Deathstrike Batteries, 3 Helguard Life-Eater Deathstrike Batteries, 75 Helguard Phase-Tiger Rider Companies, 40 Helguard Skimmer Regiments, 20 Helguard Land Raider Power Infantry Regiments, 80 Macharius Heavy Armour Regiments, 4 Macharius Vanquisher Heavy Armour Regiments, 200 Macharius Mega-Vanquisher Heavy Armour Regiments, 15 Magni Transporter Companies,15 Northern Sentinel Maniples.


    Expand Helltroopers- Another proposal by General Richards is to greatly expand the size of your Helltroopers, forming them into a full size army. This is time consuming and expansive but the sheer combat power that it will provide makes it more then worthwhile. General Richards advises beginning this project as soon as possible.

    Time: 16 years

    Cost: 6,000,000,000 Thrones, 560,000,000 Material, 21,000,000 Promethium, 130,000,000 Advanced Material, 97,000 Exotic Material .
    Upkeep per year: 420,000,000 Thrones, 40,000,000 Material, 7,000,000 Promethium, 4,800,000 Advanced Material, 1,400 Exotic Materal.
    Reward: Triple the size of your Helltroopers by recruiting 1,841 Helltrooper Power Infantry Regiments, 750 Helltrooper Scout Infantry Regiments, 760 Helltrooper Power Mechanised Infantry Regiments, 318 Helltrooper Armour Regiments, 298 Helltrooper Fast Armour Regiments, 740 Helltrooper Jetbike Regiments, 599 Helltrooper Power Drop Infantry Regiments, 198 Helltrooper Power Siege Infantry Brigades, 410 Helltrooper Hellhound Regiments, 410 Helltrooper Bane Wolf Regiments, 410 Helltrooper Anti-Air Regiments, 1,700 Helltrooper Artillery Regiments, 205 Helltrooper Sentinel/Goliath Regiments, 850 Helltrooper Power Combat Engineer Regiments, 85 Helltrooper Phase-Tank Regiments.


    Crab Regiments- General Richards has proposed founding twenty Helguard Crab Walker Regiments. These powerful regiments will both allow you to make use of armour in environments that are usually impassable and provide a force able to counter Ork Walkers in melee.

    Time: 7 years

    Cost: 22,000,000 Thrones, 3,500,000 Material, 170,000 Promethium, 1,700,000 Advanced Material, 100,000 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 4,400,000 Thrones, 700,000 Material, 84,000 Promethium, 170,000 Advanced Material, 5,000 Exotic Material
    Reward: train 20 Helguard Crab Regiments

    Implement (Technology): Planning- General Schwarz has already implemented the most important technologies found in the datacores but there are still many types that remain unused. He could spend a few years deciding how to best use a selected technology.

    Time: 2 years

    Cost: 39,000,000 Thrones, 7,800,000 Material, 790,000 Promethium, 85,000 Advanced Material, 95 Exotic Material.
    Reward: Plan on how to implement chosen technology


    Readiness Training- General Drago suggests putting his troops though combat readiness training in order to ensure that they are fully prepared if another invasion occurs. While effective this training will not have any long term effects and will need to be redone every decade. General Drago does not consider this to be urgent.

    Time: 1 year.
    Chance of Success: 60% (each success reduces chance of success by 5%, this recovers at a rate of one per two years)

    Cost: 12,200,000 Thrones, 1,220,000 Material, 122,000 Promethium, 167 Advanced Material
    Reward: +5 to all combat rolls for regular forces the next decade, can be taken multiple times


    Militia Readiness Training- General Schwarz suggests putting the militia though combat readiness training in order to ensure that they are fully prepared for the incoming invasion. This would potentially provide a massive boost to your total combat power but given that you want to avoid using the militia in combat as much as possible how much effect thi will actually have is unknown.

    Time: 1 year.
    Chance of Success: 60% (each success reduces chance of success by 5%, this recovers at a rate of one per two years)

    Cost: 880,000,000 Thrones, 88,000,000 Material, 8,800,000 Promethium, 8,500 Advanced Material
    Reward: +5 to all combat rolls for militia the next decade, can be taken multiple times, -1% city productivity per attempt (for the turn)


    Specialist Grenadiers (Write In): Planning- Now that you have the Elite Training Facilities General Drago would like to create elite, specialist units that take advantage of the unique skills that each region of Avernus instils in its soldiers. General Drago does not consider this to be urgent.

    Time: 1 year.
    Chance of Success: Variable

    Cost: 7,200,000 Thrones, 14,400 Material, 1,440 Promethium, 860 Advanced Material.
    Reward: Get Composition of Chosen Elite Unit. Put forward a write-in of a unit type and I will tell you if it it viable and how easy it will be (good omake will make it easier).

    Admiral Sarnow is continuing to focus most of his attention on preparing the defences of Diephobe to withstand heavy assault. To assist in the he has recently proposed further thickening the minefield, which would make it able to withstand all but the most determined assault. Otherwise he has put forward proposals to finish repairing the ship graveyard and to start building Skeid Military Transports

    Choose Three
    One Five years, Two Four years

    Construct: Repair: Buccaneers for Avernus- There are only a few ships left in the once massive ship graveyard over Diephobe. Admiral Sarnow would like to continue to work on repairing these ships. His next proposal is to repair most of the Buccaneer Class Light Cruisers. If kept they would provide a significant force of fast warships with enough firepower to threaten hostile capital shops or slaughter escorts.

    Time: 6 years.

    Cost: 2,000,000,000 Thrones, 1,200,000,000 Material, 17,000,000 Promethium, 920,000 Advanced Material, 5,800 Exotic Material.

    Reward: Repair 120 Buccaneer Class Light Cruisers, tithe 60 to the Imperial Trust

    Locked- Five out of Six years completed


    Upgrade Defences Deiphobe- With the awakening of the Ork Gods it becomes likely that the Imperial Trust will come under heavy assault. The naval base orbiting Deiphobe is one of the most valuable soft targets in the Imperial Trust and Admiral Sarnow advises that you strengthen its defences significantly in the coming years.

    Time: 4 years.

    Cost: 1,410,000,000 Thrones, 445,000,000 Material, 131,000,000 Metal, 30,100,000 Promethium, 222,000 Advanced Material, 4,890 Exotic Material.

    Reward: Build 6 Advanced Defence Stations, 30 Advanced Heavy Orbital Weapons Platforms and 150 Advanced Orbital Weapons Platforms around Deiphobe

    Locked- Two out of Three years completed: Expedited

    Construct: Repair for Avernus- Admiral Sarnow has put forward a proposal to repair all of the ships left in the ship graveyard bar the Shadows. This will take another six years and be easily affordable. If you decide to keep them for yourself this will significantly boost your light forces, especially with the additional of Light Carriers.

    Time: 6 years.

    Cost: 2,000,000,000 Thrones, 1,200,000,000 Material, 17,000,000 Promethium, 920,000 Advanced Material, 5,800 Exotic Material.

    Reward: Repair 18 Buccaneer Class Light Cruisers, 82 Adherent Class Light Carrier, 200 Privateer Class Raiders, 200 Soldier Class Destroyers, tithe half to the Imperial Trust


    Construct: Repair for Trust- Admiral Sarnow has put forward a proposal to repair all of the ships left in the ship graveyard bar the Shadows. This will take another six years and be easily affordable. If you decide to sell them to the Imperial Trust they would make a moderate amount of credits and further strengthen the Imperial Trust Navy..

    Time: 6 years.

    Cost: 2,000,000,000 Thrones, 1,200,000,000 Material, 17,000,000 Promethium, 920,000 Advanced Material, 5,800 Exotic Material.

    Reward: Repair 18 Buccaneer Class Light Cruisers, 82 Adherent Class Light Carrier, 200 Privateer Class Raiders, 200 Soldier Class Destroyers, sell to the Imperial Trust for 11,719 Credits.


    Construct: Skeid Military Transport- Admiral Sarnow has recently proposed that Avernus build several Skeid Military Transports to help transport your ground forces. This will leave most of our smaller shipyards free for repairing Shadow Class Destroyers, many of which will be tithed to the Imperial Trust. Given that the Avernite Navy is intended to specialise in planetary assault having some Skeids would be incredibly useful.

    Time: 6 years.

    Cost: 2,000,000,000 Thrones, 1,200,000,000 Material, 17,000,000 Promethium, 920,000 Advanced Material, 5,800 Exotic Material.

    Reward: Construct 8 Skeid Military Transports, repair 340 Shadow Stealth Destroyers, tithe 182 Shadow Stealth Destroyers to the Imperial Trust.


    Construct: Decent Class Destroyers- Admiral Sarnow has put forward a plan to construct two hundred Decent Class Destroyers, half for Avernus and half for the Imperial Trust. This will give you a large force that can not be easily countered by much on the ground short of heavy fortifications. When this is combined with the sheer surprise value that Decent Class Destroyers will have they are a deadly ace to have in reserve.

    Time: 6 years.

    Cost: 1,200,000,000 Thrones, 800,000,000 Material, 1,900,000 Promethium, 58,000 Advanced Material, 4,700 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 30,000,000 Thrones, 20,000,000 Material, 480,000 Promethium, 15,000 Advanced Material, 120 Exotic Material.
    Reward: 100 Decent Class Destroyers for Avernus and 100 for the Imperial Trust Guard


    Construct: Escorts- Admiral Parnell has put forward several suggestions of what to make next with your shipyards. The quickest of these suggestions is to build a collection of escorts to fill your order of battle. This would involve repairing a bit over two hundred escorts over three years and is the fastest way to bring your fleet up to full strength.

    Time: 3 years.

    Cost: 1,000,000,000 Thrones, 960,000,000 Material, 4,200,000 Promethium, 723,000 Advanced Material, 5,100 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 42,000,000 Thrones, 40,000,000 Material, 4,400,000 Promethium, 74,000 Advanced Material, 210 Exotic Material.
    Reward: repair 104 Squire Frigates (Half Destroyed), repair 104 Page Frigates (Half Destroyed), repair 17 Legionnaire Destroyers (mostly intact),


    Construct: Mass Conveyors and Escorts- Admiral Parnell has put forward several suggestions of what to make next with your shipyards. The second suggestion is to use your Huge Shipyard to make some Mass Conveyors, which will be in higher demand now that navigators are being seconded to the military in greater numbers. While the Mass Conveyors are being built Admiral Parnell will use the smaller shipyards to start work on brining your escort numbers up to full strength.

    Time: 5 years.

    Cost: 784,000,000 Thrones, 78,600,000 Material, 13,000,000 Metal, 3,090,000 Promethium, 303,000 Advanced Material, 3,500 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 71,000,000 Thrones, 32,000,000 Material, 6,500,000 Metal, 4,700,000 Promethium, 28,500 Advanced Material, 109 Exotic Material.
    Reward: build 9 Mass Conveyors, repair 84 Squire Frigates (Half Destroyed), repair 81 Page Frigates (Half Destroyed)


    Construct Defence Cruisers and Escorts- Admiral Parnell has put forward several suggestions of what to make next with your shipyards. The final option would be to repair even more Defence Cruisers and build some more Monitors, strengthening Avernus' Void defences but not helping the rest of the Imperial Trust. Given the fact that Avernus is one of the better defended systems in the Imperial Trust Admiral Parnell does not believe this to be necessary for the moment.

    Time: 5 years.

    Cost: 1,700,000,000 Thrones, 2,300,000,000 Material, 6,900,000 Promethium, 1,100,000 Advanced Material, 4,600 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 28,000,000 Thrones, 23,000,000 Material, 7,600,000 Promethium, 25,000 Advanced Material, 240 Exotic Material.
    Reward: repair 11 Bastion Defence Cruisers(mostly intact), repair 20 Fortress Defence Cruisers (5 mostly intact, 15 half destroyed), repair 21 Cathedral Defence Carriers (10 mostly intact, 11 half destroyed), repair 13 Snare Defence Cruisers (8 mostly intact, 5 half destroyed), repair 5 Castra Defence Cruisers (1 mostly intact, 4 half destroyed), build 62 Defence Monitors.

    Further Thicken Minefield: Deiphobe- One option to expand the defences of Deiphobe is to quadruple the density of the minefield. This would quadruple the damage that the mines inflict, making the minefield likely to destroy most cruisers that try to advance though it and inflict major damage on even Battleships. This would be a time consuming and expensive option, but would make attacking though the minefield near impossible for most fleets.

    Expand Factories: Avernus- While your current factories are sufficient for your current needs if you intend to expand any more Forge-Cities it will stretch your manufacturing capability to the limit. As such Edvin has proposed further expanding your factories. This will take around a decade and approximately double your production. According to Edvin these factories are easily affordable in every way and will produce enough manufactured goods for your needs for the next century or so.

At the moment this is no issue but it will become one if left unattended for to long, or if you start using much more Juve-Nat. To fix this Signe has suggested expanding the size of your Juve-nat Factories four-fold. This would allow you to potentially provide Juv-Nat to a quarter of your current population, which should be enough for the foreseeable future.

General Richards has requestd tht you build a large enough source of Hyper Advanced Juve-Nat to supply to these veterans. Given that the entire Phase-Tigers are in this category you see her point. Signe tells you that it will be time consuming to get enough production for even a few hundred thousand doses, though this should be a sufficient number for the foreseeable future.

These stores would be heavily armoured to prevent them becoming liabilities and would be able to allow one of your cities to fire all of its defensive weapons and those of its militia for an entire month without pause they could prove useful. However building and filling them will be both time consuming and very expensive.

    Expand (City) to Small Hive- Now that the cities of Duat have all been built, or are in the final stages of construction it would be a good idea to expand one of them into a Small Hive.

It would also be possible to build more small hives in other regions, though not nearly as important.

    Educational Review- Edvin has suggested devoting some time to improving the Avernite education system, which while incredible by Imperial standards still has room to improve.

    Underground Railways: Azure Islands- Currently your underground railways connect all of your continental cities bar those in Duat. Edvin has put forward a proposal to put in some deep lines connecting them to the Azure Islands by going under the sea floor. While this would expand the network to the Azure Islands in your experience going to deep on Avernus has consequences. The question is whether the added flexibility of the Azure islands being part of your main railway network is worth the risk.

    Tamia was recently almost killed after an particularly powerful Utter Bastard Dragon shot down her shuttle over the Everglades. While she was able to protect herself from both the dragons fire and from the landing it left her in bad enough condition that she could not easily escape from the fungal garden she found herself in. By the time Xavier arrived with her rescue team Tamia had been badly infected by several forms of fungi including Dunce Cap, Imaginary Morels and True Deathcaps. By the time she was recovered enough damage had been done to her mind, body and soul that it will take years for her to recover, even with the assistance of Saint Lin.

    Reward: Information on incoming attacks for the next five years, each success provides more information.


    Divination (Target)- Headmaster Ridcully is almost as skilled at seeing the present as he is at predicting the future. This allows him to gather a good deal of information about the neighbouring sectors without putting any scouts at risk. Valinor, Dragons Nest, and the Orkish domains seem to be the best options to investigate this way.

    Time: 2 years.
    Chance of Success: 30%

    Reward: Information on selected polity, location ect. The narrower the target the more information.

    Focused Divination (Target, Area)- High Grandmaster Ridcully is almost as skilled at seeing the present as he is at predicting the future. This allows him to investigate specific aspects of one of the neighbouring nations, such as their military composition, leaders, or even the best times to attack them.

    Cheating- Recently Archmagos Explorator Tranth and Headmaster Ridcully have come up with the idea to use Headmaster Ridcully's postcognition to discover more about The Well of Urd and the technologies that make it up. This should be very effective and will hopefully be enough to allow Archmagos Explorator Tranth to learn how to use technologies otherwise incomprehensible.

    Time: 1 year. (must be taken by Headmaster Ridcully, Archmagos Explorator Tranth must have taken and Examine Sub-Systems action this year)
    Chance of Success: 30%

    Cost: 71,000 Thrones, 710 Material, 7 Promethium, 86 Advanced Material, 9.6 Exotic Material.
    Reward: permanently reduce the difficulty of the Examine Sub-Systems or an Examine: Any that was found on The Well of Urd or the Ship Graveyard by one percent per three percent that the action is passed or one percent per five the action is passed by if it is Examine: Any
    Anti-Ork Powers: Techbane- Tamia thinks that with a few years effort and a lot of luck she will be able to create a Psychic Power designed to make Ork technology malfunction. This is due to the fact that most Ork technology relies of the probability manipulating aspects of the Waaagh to avoid malfunction, and that disrupting this should cause malfunctions. It will be highly channelling for Tamia to create even a personal scale version of this power, and take at least a decade. Creating more wonderful version would be even harder and more time consuming, though absolutely devastating in effects.

    Time: 10 years

    Cost: 390,000,000 Thrones, 3,900,000 Material, 8,500 Advanced Material, 950 Exotic Material.

    Locked – Six out of Ten years completed


    Wellspring of Power?- After witnessing the Green Awakening something significant has changed about how High Grandmaster Ridcully interacts with the Warp. The amount of power that he can gather and wiled has increased almost sixfold without significantly impacting his level of control. A change this sudden and significant is unheard of short of major sorcerers deals, which Saint Lin assures you did not happen. As such High Grandmaster Ridcully would like to spend some time attempting to determine exactly what has changed about him to create this effect.

    Time: 10 years
    Chance of Success: -20% (uses average of control and learning)

    Cost: 390,000,000 Thrones, 3,900,000 Material, 8,500 Advanced Material, 950 Exotic Material.
    Reward: Determine more about the trait Wellspring of Power

    Locked- One out of Ten years completed


    Anti-Ork Powers: Grand Countering- Now that she has created an anti Ork Power Tamia thinks that it is possible to upscale it so that it can be used by entire Choirs of Psykers. While it would take a good bit of research to create this power would allow your Demonology Choirs to better counter Ork Grand Rituals such as the one that Garkill used on the walls of Salem.

    Time: 8 years
    Chance of Success: 0% (uses learning)

    Cost: 180,000,000 Thrones, 1,800,000 Material, 4,200 Advanced Material, 480 Exotic Material.
    Reward: Create choir scale power optimised for counters the powers of Ork Weirdboyz


    Psychic Materials: Wildlife- There are some materials that channel psychic energies better then others, or in certain ways. Given the sheer variety of psychic wildlife of differing sorts on Avernus, Grandmaster Jameson believes that at least some of them will be useful in this manner. She will only be able to examine a single type of creature at a time, so it will take quite some time to examine everything that Avernus has to offer.

    Time: 1 year

    Cost: 4,000,000 Thrones, 400,000 Material, 4,250 Advanced Materials.
    Reward: Determine if any part of selected species is useful as a psychic conductor.

    Research: Immaterial Resonance- One of the most intriguing discoveries of Headmaster Ridcully and Primaris Jameson is that some patterns in the Materium resonate with the Immaterium, affecting it. This is likely the basis of runes and some rituals, both Chaotic and non-Chaotic. Headmaster Ridcully would like to spend a decade studying it. He can not promise any useful results even if he is successful but given that this is a possible path to several major breakthroughs he thinks it is worth the risk.

    Time: 10 years (must be taken by Ridcully)
    Chance of Success: 20% (uses learning)

    Cost: 39,000,000 Thrones, 390,000 Material, 850 Advanced Material, 95 Exotic Material.
    Reward: Information on how some things in the Materium resonate with the Immaterium


    Research: Power Melody Composition- The recent joint research project between Headmaster Ridcully and Primaris Jameson made several major discoveries, one of which is that the closer the melody of songweaving matches the required frequencies of a power the more effective the power is. While the exact mechanisms of this increase are as yet not understood Primaris Jameson thinks that she will be able to figure out how to compose melodies that match the powers used.

    Time: 7 years
    Chance of Success: 40% (uses learning)

    Cost: 39,000,000 Thrones, 390,000 Material, 850 Advanced Material, 95 Exotic Material.
    Reward: Primaris Jameson figures out how to compose a melody that matches the power better.

    Research: Black Crystal Items (Item)- Last year Headmaster Ridcully determined that each of the items of Black Crystal has its own unique property, though he was not able to determine what they are. He tells you it would most likely take a couple of years of study to determine exactly what the unique properties are but it would most likely be worth the time expended.

    Time: 2 year
    Chance of Success: Unknown (uses learning)

    Cost: 355,000 thrones, 17,750 Material, 43 Advanced Material.
    Reward: More information on Black Crystal Item selected


    Research (Species that has completed Biologus research) – Many of the more interesting creatures of Avernus use psychic powers in some manner and while Magos Biologis Saren has discovered as much about them as he can, there is still more to learn. Headmaster Ridcully would like to lead a team of Sanctionites to try to discover more about these species, hopefully including how to mimic their innate powers in some manner.

    Time: 1 year
    Chance of Success: Unknown (uses learning)

    Cost: 81,000 thrones, 8,100 Material, 8.6 Advanced Material.
    Reward: More information on chosen species, chance of learning new psychic power.

    Siren Banishment Wards: City Command Locations- The Siren Rune of Banishment can be used as the focus of a ward, increasing the instability of any daemons within the bounds of the Ward. Tamia has suggested creating a ward that combines this with Advanced Wards and adding it to all of your command centres on every level. This will make your command centres significantly more resistant to hostile Psykers and daemons, and provide secure rallying pints in the case of major daemonic assult.

    Time: 3 years

    Cost: 23,000,000 Thrones, 1,500,000 Advanced Material, 18,000 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 1,100,000 Thrones, 75,000 Advanced Material, 900 Exotic Material
    Reward: Provide Siren Rune of Banishment Inscribed Advanced Wards to your planetary, regional and city command centres, double daemonic instability within the selected buildings, greatly reducing the chance of successfully teleporting within the selected buildings or using psychic powers targeted at or into the selected buildings, +100 to the chance of anyone on the selected buildings resisting a psychic power used from outside the selected buildings

    Locked- One out of Three years completed


    Siren Rune of Fire: All Psykers- Now that the Rune of Fire has proven to be safe useful it can start being supplied to your forces. The first step of this would be to provide a focus with the rune to every Avernite Psyker skilled enough to use it. While this is happening you can train those psykers skilled enough in the use of the rune as Pyromancy power will be trained in its use. This should take around three years and increase the damage potential of your battle Psyker significantly

    Time: 2 years

    Cost: 3,000,000 Thrones, 55,000 Advanced Material, 300 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: Varies
    Reward: Provide Siren Rune of Fire Focus to all psykers skilled enough to use it, +50to all Pyromancy rolls.


    Siren Rune of Fire: Black Irons- One suggested use for the Siren Rune of Fire is to provide the entire Black Irons Division with weapons marked with the rune. This would give your most stalwart division a major boost in combat. While time consuming, this project would give a significant damage boost to an entire division.

    Time: 3 years

    Cost: 37,000,000 Thrones, 300,000 Advanced Material, 13,000 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 7,500,000 Thrones, 30,000 Advanced Material, 650 Exotic Material
    Reward: Provide Siren Rune of Fire Inscribed Weapons to the Black Irons. +30% damage by all thermal weapons, +20% damage by all energy weapons, +10% damage by all non-energy melee weapons


    Siren Rune of Fire: Helguard- One suggested use for the Siren Rune of Fire is to provide the entire Helguard with weapons marked with the rune. This would give your elites a major boost in damage output, at the expense of tying time and tying u a large number of artisans. It is only thanks to the sheer number of Pykers that Avernus can field that this project is even possible.

    Time: 6 years

    Cost: 110,000,000 Thrones, 1,700,000 Advanced Material, 47,000 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 21,000,000 Thrones, 330,000 Advanced Material, 8,000 Exotic Material
    Reward: Provide Siren Rune of Fire Inscribed Weapons to the Helguard. +30% damage by all thermal weapons, +20% damage by all energy weapons, +10% damage by all non-energy melee weapons


    Mentoring: Alpha- Given the high rate of failure for the more powerful psykers High Grandmaster Ridcully would like to have some of his best psykers mentor the second Alpha-level in the years leading up to her trials. This will hopefully be enough to increase her chance of passing by a significant degree.

    Time: 1 year. (can be taken per hero)
    Chance of Success: 50%

    Cost: Free
    Reward: each point of success increases chance of the Alpha-level psyker passing the trails by 1% (max pass chance 65%, current pass chance 10%.


    Siren Rune of Banishment: Black Irons- One suggested use for the Siren Rune of Banishment is to provide the entire Black Irons Division with weapons marked with the rune. This would give your most stalwart division a major boost in combat against daemonic foes. While time consuming, this project would give you an entire elite division that is able to engage daemons with far greater effect then conventional forces, which would be invaluable when you next come up against daemonic hordes again.

    Time: 4 years

    Cost: 75,000,000 Thrones, 750,000 Advanced Material, 65,000 Exotic Material.
    Upkeep per year: 15,000,000 Thrones, 75,000 Advanced Material, 3,200 Exotic Material
    Reward: Provide Siren Rune of Banishment Inscribed Weapons to the Black Irons. +50 to all rolls by Black Irons against daemons, +50% to all damage done by Black Irons to daemons, -5 to daemons armour against attacks from Black Irons,


    Create Psyker Order (Purpose or Speciality, Department if Any)- It is possible for you to create an Order of Psykers within the Adeptus Astra Telepathica. This Order will either have a purpose and develop as needed to fulfil this purpose or it will have a speciality and develop that speciality. For example an Order of Healers would have the speciality of Healing and focus on devolving your knowledge of Physic Healing and teaching your Healers while an Order of Daemon Hunters would have the purpose of combating Daemons and would recruit those with the will and talent to combat Daemons.

    Time: 6 years

    Cost: 200,000,000 Thrones, 2,000,000 Material, 4,150 Advanced Material, 415 Exotic Material.
    Reward: Allows the formation of an Order of Psykers with selected purpose or speciality within the selected department, more options.

    Battle Preparations- It is highly likely that you will find yourself in a war as soon as the Warpstorm ends and Primaris Xavier has suggested putting the Battle Psykers though last minute training in preparation. While this will have no long term effect in the short term it will hone the edge of their psykers abilities.

    Time: 1 year

    Reward: +5 to all Battle Psyker Rolls for the next decade


    Honing an Edge- It is highly likely that you will find yourself in a war as soon as the Warpstorm so it might be a good idea for the heroic Psykers of Avernus to focus on preparing themselves. While normally the time just before a war is not a good time for a military force's leadership to spend a year meditating and training themselves, when the leader is as powerful a weapon as a heroic psyker it becomes a good option.

    Time: 1 year
    Chance of Success: 40% (uses Control, each success reduces chance of success by 5%, this recovers at a rate of one per two years)

    Cost: Free
    Reward: +10 to all battle rolls by Heroic Psyker who takes the action for the next decade

    Mentoring: Beta- Given the high rate of failure for the more powerful psykers Headmaster Ridcully would like to have one of his best psykers mentor the next Beta-level in the year leading up to his trials. This will hopefully be enough to increase his chance of passing by a significant degree.

    Time: 1 year. (can be taken once)
    Chance of Success: 50%

    Cost: Free
    Reward: each point of success increases chance of the Beta-level psyker passing the trails by 1%


    Mentoring: Gammas-Given the high rate of failure for the more powerful psykers Headmaster Ridcully has suggested having one of his best psykers mentor the next Gamma-levels in the year leading up to his trials. This will hopefully be enough to increase his chance of passing by a significant degree.

    Time: 1 year. (can be taken once)
    Chance of Success: 50%

    Cost: Free
    Reward: each 20 points of success increases chance of each Gamma-level psyker passing the trails by 1%

    Now that Signe has settled in you have a brief period of calm, with no duties apart from the usual. You are not sure how long this will continue but intend to enjoy it as long as you can. Speaking of calm you are wondering eactly how long it will be until a New Waaagh hits the region, and whether you will have to conduct any major Forge-Hive expansions in that time.

    Yeah I understand that Seidael chose these actions but it sounds like we were going to need more Juveies no matter who we had as admin so we would had been better off choosing the other guy, at least in the near future.

    So this seems like a shoe-in for the bio action but what should we do after it finishes? I purpose we have Maxima dissect some of the 'New Normal' Orks to see if that offers some new insight.
