Alright, Omakes for today. First up is a continuation of the Pert negaverse. Just got to say that the second quote was just amazing. Also, the cypher where you explained Pert just wants to retire to a nice house was great. I fully agree with it, and I imagine that one day maybe he'll have a chance to do so. As for your reward:
Glad you liked, as yeah, I didn't know that Lorgar had sent more people to mess with Perty's homeworld in order to get it to rebel and him to cross the line, which puts Pert's turning to chaos right up there with Magnus in the "Not of his own will/desire to betray" tragic fall through Othellan mishaps and self-flaws. The retire to a house thing is something I admittedly lifted from the Robouttian heresy but I have to agree that it fits pretty well imo for what his actual goals were.
For the reward, we will STACK THAT CR UNTIL IT'S TOO DAMN HIGH!
[X] +10% to the Iron Warriors's CR training in Year 30
Next up is a Vulkan negaverse, and let me say that I really enjoyed reading this. The incorporation of your letter from Kesar into it was great, and I could feel the frustration in the playerbase. It fits what I'd expect from them, and the inclusion of the extra action mention in it fit very well. As for your reward:
Figured this would make a good combo and I channeled some IRL frustration at things to ensure that the thread was salty but not too vicious unlike some threads on here I could name when things don't go well >.> (sheesh, never seen a quest shut down to hypocritical rabid mass murdermongering like that before yeeesh.) As for the reward, let's spread the extra action love to Konrad now, he needs it.
[X] Konrad gains an extra action in Year 30
Then we have a hilarious omake of Leman and Zunia's continued sitcom. You know, I'd read a book just about their interactions. For the omake, I really enjoyed it. It fits perfectly with their characters, and the skepticism of Leman would definitely be understandable albeit annoying. Capturing that in Zunia was great, and thankfully for my sanity, she didn't repeat this on her next task. As for your reward:
Hehehe as I reread the related Omakes I realized that Zunia even set herself up for it by claiming how far down the rot was when they'd need to wipe everything out to start over, so she was literally hoist on her own petard. I'll have to reference it in the next omake, as for the choice, we gotta speed it up at least a little the next project I mean, so that she can reclaim her title of "She who makes Primarchs feel slow paced.".
[X] -3 years to Zunia's next task (Implementing Changes Based on Areas of Improvement. 5 Years of Work)
Well, I can also completely agree that I never actually expected you to pick 35 worlds. However, you guys did come up with a pretty good plan, and one I didn't expect. Also, can I just say that this quote is amazing? "Sorta, his rolls helped but it was Leman's nat 100 that got her on board, and she'd probably have strong words, with punchy vowels, if you called her "Leman's squeeze." I imagine." It's just absolutely glorious. As for your reward:
Hehehehe I had waaaay too much fun with those myself, and yeah, I wasn't the first person to pick the 35 world option but I couldn't resist seeing if we couldnt' bring in the WS especially after we found out how high they were on the CR scale *without* the help we gave the DG. Seems to be paying off in the short term. As for the reward...Big E needs all the help he can get.
[X] +10 to the Emperor's next social roll
==================
Also, in regards to the Arbellis question: We *do* have a system in place for uplifting and improving the worlds in our area of control, but due to the removal of the production system it became by and large a narrative effect, so they'll get veddy good aid, we just have too much on our plate to personally direct it.
