@Nurgle I don't think impalers should be the first thing we do. Cranial bionics and cogitators should be the first, because they improve our research capabilities.

Servitors are an Advanced tech and thus take 8 years. Bionic have both basic and advanced versions but I strongly suspect cranial bionics are in the advanced part.
We are doing a short (ish) action because after the tech trade we will (hopefully) have many, many new things for Tranth to be doing.

if we do that we would probably want to use vortex warheads for them.

I don't know exact values, but that seems like too costly, considering we have to specifically authorise use of vortex torpedoes in battle.

Speaking of vortex though, didn't we research vortex shells before the Turoq battle? Do we need any special action to implement them?

No matter what option we take, I doubt we'll learn anything we can share. This is so Tranth can expand his knowledge. Which we will later use to make improvements down the line. We don't have a long enough time before the conference to get anything new out of the fundamentals action.

The fundamental action improves both of those. It raises Tranth's ability to upgrade and make new tech but it also improves the Trust's knowledge base as well. That was why we asked Durin if it was only for Tranth. It is a bigger boost for Tranth but it still helps us out as well.

oh we wouldn't load all of our launches with vortex. but giving them pen aids and mixing in a few would be a way make sure they all hit.


as for vortext shells, we did not get an option to implement them, so either its done automatically this turn or durin forgot
 
I will submit by vote for whichever plan has the least quantity of unique Spend Time With (Person) actions.

We had the option to use vortex shells this war, we just didn't. They give ten additional armor pen to macro cannons on the first volley of combat.
 
Still think we should be just spending time with Lulana. The chance to actually improve someone's stats without needing a nat 100 is worth it to me. It also makes one of our best allies stronger.

@Enjou @Nurgle shouldn't we spend a diplo action sounding out our proposals for the use of the other minor favors? (Like for the data crystals and extending Lin's life)

@Durin
1. Are the Blank Assassins classified on a need to know basis?
1a. Does the Council need to know?
2. What about the Bio-Laser Implants?
2a. Did we give them out the the Inquisition?
3. What about the Psyrodactyl power?
4. The Black Crystal Sword?
5. What do we need to tell the Council about Ridcully's Vision Quest, aside from the fact that the Eldar owe us an Honorbound, a Major, and two Minor Favors?
6. Is Sol the only known Daemon Star?
6a. What do they do?

IIRC, Durin doesn't disclose what the rewards for a crit are—outside of occasionally things like 'that would require a nat 100, or a string of them' at least.

That said, my own bet is that the prep action is determining what sort of course we're going to put them through, and then follow up action will be the training itself, with it working like a recruitment or equipment upgrade action. As such, the total quality of the bonus will be dependent on the quality of the prep action rather than a roll on the excecution action. We can certainly ask Durin though.

@Durin
  1. Is the Anti-Psyker Training: Preparation action going to lead directly into a training action, or are we anticipating more actions in, say, designing the training?

1. it will lead directly to several training actions

This should go in the High Council report, but saying our people have come out stronger would perhaps play into our ruthlessness reputation. (Also we didn't crit. It was a normal success.)

This too should go into the report. Nothing else in that list matters enough to be worth mentioning.

This is Vanaheim news.

@Dynamesmouse the Nurgle mission needs to be mentioned.

Personal Attention: Lessons Learned: Strength of Arms- During the second Daemonic Incursion your military forces were pushed to their limit by the attackers. Those soldiers and militiamen who survived all have their own stories and tactics, many of which apply against other foes. If you focused on spreading these lessons and experiences the Avernites' already incredible combat skills will get a major boost.

Time: 2 years.
Chance of Success: 55% (goes down by 10% per year).

Cost: 49,000,000 Thrones, 490,000 Material, 49,000 Promethium.
Reward: +3 to all combat rolls, +5 morale, +5 to all rolls against daemons all Avernites gain trait Natural Soldier (+10 to all combat rolls, +1C)

Complete
year one d100=85+45(martial)+20(double down)+5(palace)=155: Critical Success

You have finished gathering the stories and lessens of the recent daemonic incursion and made them a core part of the Avernite educational system. You are also working in several other ways to make sure that the lessens learned in the last few years become a core part of the Avernite cultural fabric. This is in part a shift from the current mentality of Avernites as Survivors into Avernites being Soldiers, above all else.

Strength of Arms did crit. How would you word it then? "Though painful, we will never forget these stories."
