So, this is my second attempt at a quest, hopefully it will go better. That being said, if anyone wants to step in and help me I would appreciate it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Location: Unknown
I came to in a daze. Why was everything so fuzzy? Stretching I found- Wait! I could stretch?

I HAD A BODY!

This was… new, and what were these memories… Ah! These are the memories of a human. That makes sense… Wait, what am I? I'm not human, but I remember so many things from this human…

Right, right. I am a Mental Model of the [Data Corrupted] Home Port.

Oh dear, that's worrying… With a thought, I pulled up the Admiralty Code… and breathed out a sigh of relief. They were still there… wait, no. It had changed, now only a single goal.
Ok… that didn't bode well. Wait, back to the original problem. I was floating in space… IN SPACE! Looking around I took in what was around me.

First I noticed a large silver contraption… ah, a freight ship. My ship? Why did I have… ah, this was my Port all packed up. I hope everything is there.

Ah, and there's a planet. Ok. That's a start.

You have a few too many wonders there, by my count you have 5 WT to work with. (3 from start +2 for death world)
 
Oh! Funness! I'll get a vote up later.

Current pelimanry vote, mainly hoping to get a lot of material and tech advantages alongside hoping that we can make more Guardians later on if we all have all three types, unlikely but wanted to try.
 
Here's my preliminary vote:

@Hazardine you have too many heroes

EDIT: New Plan on later post

Thoughts:
-IOM Hates AI, which we are
-Asari breed really slowly
-Eldar can backfire real hard (read: slannesh) and breed slowly (i think)
-Halo Humans love AI,

-Normal cause easy too easy, but wanna have fun
-Heros
--Dragon cause research heroes and she is dragon
--Armsmaster to a)make dragon happy and b) be awesome with dragon c)need for dragon
--Farseer cause future-sight and she is a farseer
-Wonders
--Adamantine, Eezo, Psicrystals:get all of the exotiC resources for all of the long term advantages
-Did not take any of the other wonder point boosters because they do not give enough for what challenges they add.

To clarify, does the colony ship type also determine our starting faction? If so, I'm staying the hell away from the IoM.

Forest death world seems more aesthetically pleasing.
But it's still a DEATH world. Frankly, I think that's just making more work for ourselves, plus increased risk of casualties.

Finishing up at work right now, will elaborate on my choices when I get home tonight.

I seem to have worded something wrong I guess? You have to get Armsmaster, then you can get Dragon (who costs a Hero Token). it's a tiered thing.

To clarify, does the colony ship type also determine our starting faction? If so, I'm staying the hell away from the IoM.

The colony ship/reugee thing does not lock you into a faction, it does however influence the politics you'll have to deal with, choose carefully. You/I/We are an AI.

Don't care enough for the rest...
 
Oh, this looks interesting. Have yet to figure out what to choose.
