I think there might be some serious typos here?
Can I presume just one if we take most of the actions possible? Planning around this so we can get the Vault stuff lined up is really annoying, especially since the Mechanicus section doesn't have much in the way of one year actions I can plan for Tranth.
That one has been pointed out several times. Just ignore it. It's a copy/paste error.

He has issues with Divine-Level Wards, and also Null Zones.
Which are what I'd want before such a project.

1. Would the Titan Project be improved if we research the more advanced reactors? (Which reactor type are they using?)
2. Would the unrest cost for the other advanced reactor variant change if we take the other, since we have effectively normalized the action?
3. Do we know what, if anything, on Avernus prevents repeat or back-to-back incursions?

Recent Rumor Roundup: Casaba out of Grunwald, Truths in Paramount, written by Abraham DeGauss
Alright all my dearly devoted deep-delving double Avernites, my duty demands we discuss the latest dirt circulating the camp. And what rumor rumbling its way through us is more relevant than the recent revelations that roared their way out of Greenwald last month.
Lets get something out of the way first: Casaba Heidegger is not in his(her?) right mind. Or body. Avid Avernite's advice: avoid Greenwald. That said, (s)he(?) is possibly the most lucid human-hearted (and headed) hero to heave their way out of that hellhole, and his/(her?) testimony represents an intriguing insight into it. Seek them out if you wish, but be quick about it. Last I heard, they were requesting posting off world.
Here are the facts: on the third of March a celebrated cadre of characters, who will remain unnamed due to a certain curse*, found Casaba wandering a chamber connecting Paramount and Grunwald. After confirming that they were both human and relatively harmless, the gallant group guided Casaba back to Dis. Much to their surprise, at each parting of the path, Casaba insisted on providing Paramount's payment. Our tortured traveler's tour of truths tiered three and up**. Those truths were as follows:
1. Idlewild lies. (3)
2. Dr'viz has found his blade, Worldbleeder is denied its prize. (3)
3. The vaults are thrice spiralled, once by the Keeper, twice by its Takers. (4)
4. The Radiance has loosened their leash. (5)
5. In the valley there is a bog, in the bog there is a hole. In the hole there is a tree. On the tree there is a branch. On the branch a limb, on the limb a nest, in the nest an egg, on the egg a bird. One day the bird shall fly and the egg shall hatch and the nest shall sag and the limb shall bend and the branch shall break and the tree shall fall and the hole shall close and the valley shall be revealed. (4)
6. Silver shines in the dark, bound in black chains. (3)
Time for speculation:
The first two revelations are interesting, but obscure enough that they're hard to latch onto. There are already enough questions around Idlewild that this new treat fails to fascinate, and Dr'viz, his blade and Worldbleeder are all unknowns.
The canny caverner will take note of number three. The vaults have long been the subject of speculation and rumor regarding the Labrynthians. Everyone knows about the lesser vaults, those small caches of goodies that can be found dotted throughout the explored Labrynthians. No one thinks Casaba was speaking about those. That wouldn't rate a three, let alone a four. No, this has to be a reference to the Vaults, those mythical caches at the center of each Labrynthian.
As for the Keeper and its Takers? The cautious caverner takes in talking point four, correlates it with the increased incidents of Longfingers crawling their way out of Greenwald and comes to a certain conclusion: stay out of the Labrynthians. I know I intend to.
For the fifth, research reveals it refers to reference an ancient Terran tune. Why this rates as a secret of the world is subject to speculation. All I know is that I'm personally going full apocalyptic with my interpretation, as is my wont.
We all know what the sixth secret speaks of. We all wish we could share it with those sane enough not to dare the depths.
Until next time, your humble Servant

Stuff forgotten in the To-Do-List 1
Stuff forgotten in the To-Do-List 1 [NEXT]
From: Defence Board Dis
To: Fabricator-General Scott
The following missive has been checked and deemed to lay beyond the purview of this board. As per directive B621-2C4 the checking included - besides the warnings of the Cult Mechanicus and heretical thoughts - a peer review to prove its validity. The result of the peer review is a major factor as to why we have to forward it instead of handling it in our jurisdiction.
Praise the Omnissiah
---------------------
From: Collegia Reconstructus – Review Group 251
To: Defence Board Dis
As per Fabricator-General Scott's directive we have reviewed the proposal. After checking it for heretical thoughts we came to the conclusion that it is pure of thought. Given the dimensions of the affected systems it was not possible to construct a working prototype in the limited space of the reserved workshops. As such we focused on the described interaction of the components and found errors below the threshold for invalidity.
Conclusively this review group finds the proposal worth implementing as per the directive but because of the scope will need investigation beyond what the Collegia can handle on its own and any implementation should be delayed until all necessary steps of directive B621-2C4 are completed.
Praise the Omnissiah
----------------------
From: Defence Board Dis
To: Collegia Reconstructus
As per directive B621-2C4 we forward the appended proposal to you to judge.
Praise the Omnissiah
----------------------
From: Maintenance Board Dis
To: Defence Board Dis
Appended to this is a proposal of one of our senior tech-priests focused on maintenance of laser weaponry. The proposal he forwarded to us is beyond this board to process given the subject. Review of history and additional monitoring raised no concerns of corrupting influences so we decided that it is safe.
Praise the Omnissiah
-----------------------
From: Techpriest 3476-UFRT-2345
To: Maintenance Board Dis
Addendum: Report 12-BFF-01001, Correlation Data
In accordance with the goal of preserving human habitation on Avernus I submit these observations and thoughts.
I feel myself able to do so through the work with, intense study of, and understanding of weapons generally classified as laser. My duty is the maintenance of these weapons in section 37 of Dis.
The observation I want to submit I have detailed in the appended report. For ease of viewing the focus of the report is based on the following key points:
- Correlation between components of weapons (Las, Advanced Las, Neutron, Orbital Defence Laser) and their part in operation
- Correlation between the interchangeability of these components
The result of the observations is that though the components perform similar tasks they can not be exchanged for various reasons. During the study I noticed that Neutron weapons should have less range than Las weapons but use modifiers that offset that problem.
Applying the modifiers to Las weapons in simulation showed an increase in range but a massive decrease in strength while for Neutron weapons it actually increased the weapons' strength. Further simulations revealed the possibility that by applying the principles behind Neutron weapons to ODL a new defence could be created.
As the principles behind the functioning of the machines is unknown, all observations have been done on the results that in depth maintenance reveal. However the simulations show that an ODL based on Neutron technology as shown in the paper could have the same effective range (far less maximum range but far less interference by the atmosphere as well) on acceptable energy needs and substantial more strength.
I hope with explanations of the background that the defences can be strengthened further.
Praise the Omnissiah

@Durin Please say if anything should be changed to make it canon.
One of a set. The direction is somewhat clear but I hope it fits the tone alright.

Alright, I think now we need to do the Vault, it takes three actions, each of which need to succeed, so the sooner we start the better, and frankly I think we can afford to let up a bit on the cults to free up an action.
Ok so it looks like we are going to have to put Vault design off till next turn because we still need to focus on the cultist. Since we cannot predict how long that will take Jand and Rotbart are out this turn.
It needs 4 actions. We need Rotbart, Jane, Tamia, and Tranth. Also you never want to let up on the chaos cults. Remember last time we almost lost the game by not taking them seriously.

I have to say I'm surprised that Lin's diplomacy is taking 6 years since I thought it was only going to be a year. I guess he needs to spend that much time next to the primarchs to further his research cause I can't imagine it takes 6 entire years just to convince them with his high diplo and truth aura.
Depending on rolls it can take anywhere from 1 turn to 4 turns.

Where are you getting this information because it isn't in the turn?
Durin told us this after the High council meeting. How long it takes is dependent of rolls.

I'd imagine he's also coordinating with the other ambassador groups, and we have to find a time when they can come when things are not on fire, find a neutral ground everyone can agree on etc.
Convincing the Primarchs themselves may not take that long, finding time to do it in.
Of course they are Primarchs, I'm pretty sure Durin said somewhere that they got base 50 in all stats and some of the ones present have conflicted feelings on daddy dearest.

Have to say not really a fan of the fact that for this kind of project that we need to have several slots open at the same exact time which is next to impossible due to a number of factors like most projects lasting years even decades and us having important things to do making it even harder to do made even worse is that every single action needs to pass or we need to do this shit all over again. Made even more incredibly annoying is how important the vault is forcing us to go through this bullshit.
That kind of set up makes sense since that's just a bad design considering how important the vault is it seems like Rotbart should have tried to come up with something more workable like say having everyone of our advisors on the project just do their own versions and then have them look over everyone else's design to add to it for the next step instead of the current non sensical plan for designing that vault.
