About how she would need to become stronger in mind and soul, with an incorruptible will, before she could be safely told of such a thing, should it exist. And of how we want to give her the facilities and protection needed to do exactly that.

    • [X] Plan: Space, space, gotta go to space!
      -[X] Poke around some more in the databases, looking for anything in particular.
      --[X] So, there's a small alien species in the system, you've had your hands full with Denva so far, but now that you're about to start poking around, you're curious if there are any records on them. The Imperium seems to be... uh, remarkably xenocidal, so it's weird that they tolerated one right next door to a major hub system. What's the deal and is this going to blow up in our face?
      -[X] Explore
      --[X] Denva System
      -[X] Diplomacy:
      --[X] You had hoped that they'd be able to behave like adults, but apparently you need to get back to treating... Most of Denva like children again. During the downtime of your shakedown, spend some time and energy leveraging the grassroots distaste of... Well... The Fuckfest into something that isn't horribly reactionary in nature. Look, they're most of the way to being a mature society, they just need a bit more help and guidance here and there to help stabilize into something functional. You've got allies too! Between Klyssar Station, Aevon, and... Denva? Huh, alright, sure. That's roughly half the civilian government you can work with to help ease them off the crazyness and hopefully not make you have to come over there again. Come on! You're almost out of the bucket! nooooo fighting! (Help take advantage of the current upheaval to do the last bits of push, mediation, and guidance to put Denva II on the path to being a mature, spacefaring society. I guess stretch goals can be along the lines of helping leverage that initial agreement to get the fundaments of a defense agreement down? Who knows, this is already going kind of wide. Offer industrial assistance to those who end up agreeing.)

      [X] Plan Bedtime for Bongo
      -[X] Scrapcode: Toss it into the sun. Our recent experience taught us much, including a lesson in the sunk cost fallacy. It's time to spend our resources and research on other priorities.
      -[X] Diplomacy x1
      —[X] Help take advantage of the current upheaval to do the last bits of push, mediation, and guidance to put Denva II on the path to being a mature, spacefaring society. Use the resources provided by our construction action, plus our crew's skills, to move the planet toward a unified and stable single government.
      -[X] Construction x1 (+7850 BP):
      --[X] Build 2x uplift campus on Denva II (-2000 BP)
      --[X] Build void academy at Klyssar's Nest to aid Denva and encourage further cooperation (-2000 BP)
      --[X] Build 35x Manned Manufactory (-100 BP each, -3500 ground BP total)
      ---[X] These factories and the uplift campuses shall be built to incentivize international cooperation and should be distributed among the nations willing to cooperate internationally, particularly to support globalist governments that have come into being since the recent international incident
      --[X] Build 350x trade goods (-350 BP)
      ---[X] These trade goods should be available to pay rent during our travels, and we will provide them as gifts to offset the temporary shutdown of our juvenat facilities during our departure. We can offer a full 50/50 supply of juvenat as a goodbye present.
      --[X] Repair Psychic Shielding on Ship (Repair Bay covers this for free!)
      -[X] Research x1 (+400 RP)
      --[X] Scrapcode Cleansing (-100 RP)
      --[X] Void abacus-warp interactions (-100 RP)
      —-[X] I'm not certain, based on Neablis' description, whether the uplift campuses cost 50 RP as well as their BP cost. If yes, they'll replace void abacus research. If not, that research can continue with Anexa as a backstop.

      -[X] Cia Passive Action: Passive Psyker improvement
      [X] Plan Unification through collective Research & Fundamental Defensive Research
      --[X] Well, we know what the Imperium uses to measure the magnitude of an individual's psychic power (all this wibbly-wobbly abstract stuff is giving me a headache, I didn't even KNOW I could get one), but the scale seems to go down as well as up, and what's this about a "Null", anyway?
      -[X] Construction 1:
      --[X] Fix Shields (800 BP)
      --[X] Build new vault (2000 BP)
      --[X] 2x Deep Space Manufactory (750 void BP, 40 CP) (Total 1,500 VBP, 80 CP)

      -[X] Diplomacy:
      --[X] Establish a research cooperation between the nations of Devon and Vita, hq situated in Klyssar's Nest as a neutral point between the Nations
      ---[X] All nations who want to participate in good faith are welcome. Notify the nations that attempted to attack and the neutral stations representatives that this is a 2nd chance for the former. Punishment for Bad faith acts to be decided by the participating nations & station.
      ---[X] Include guarantees to respect each others sovereignty into the participation terms.
      ---[X] Mention to the participants that while Vita can't stay around to guide them, that this is a final act of midwivery for the rebirth of humanity that Vita knew and misses. If they work together, they can grow back to the greatness that was before the Imperium of Man.
      ---[X] Offer BP bribes to support settings up labs.
      ---[X] offer nonmilitary, non-psychic, non-chaos, non-juvenat tech Vita already has as bribes
      ---[X] Show them non-chaos researches you could do as potential cooperation topics.
      ----[X] Military Tech is gated behind them showing cooperation that proves they'd use it against outside threats and not to kill each other. Make sure to mention the spy incident & sound annoyed when doing so. Also the failed attack & sound very annoyed. Gated Tech is released gradually as Trust grows.
      ----[X] Juvenat is gated behind them cooperating and showing that it would be distributed fairly in a way that doesn't create a class of immortals ruling over mortals.
      ---[X] Victan Assists
      -[X] Anexa Active Action: Research Manufacturing Machine Spirits
      -[X] Victan Active Action: Diplomat-Spy, Resolution of greivances and Unification of Denva
      -[X] Cia Passive Action: Passive Psyker improvement
      -[X] Scrapcode: Keep
      [X] Plan Unification & Fundamental Defensive Research
      --[X] As part of your exploration of the Denva system you will be visiting Denva Prime and hopefully making contact with the Vellkar. Digging through Imperial files looking for more information on them may be helpful.
      -[X] This whole thing with Denva is a little annoying, but you should stick around and sort it out. But you'll explore the rest of the Denva system *soon*! (-Wayfarer Proc Chance this turn, +Wayfarer Proc Chance next turn, if allowed?)

      -[X] Diplomacy, 1 Action, Denva
      --[X] Victan takes the lead, and we assist him. He can reinterpret and modify our agenda below if he feels it necessary.
      --[X] Resolve Grievances: Resolving existing grievances present in the populace and leadership that motivate counterproductive actions.
      --[X] Broker Unification: Help the planet unify, to manage a unified industrial economy, R&D department, and defense fleet.
      --[X] Implement a system of transparency, enforcement, and potential punishment to both protect the nations from abuse, but also to make sure they cooperate.
      --[X] Promise up to 5000 BP in assistance next turn to help smooth things along, if they do a good job at the first three. Also warn that we expect to be leaving the system within a decade or two, so they should get their house in order now. We will return eventually, but we're not sure exactly how long it will be - probably 5-15 years.

    Ok, I need a single d100 for this conversation. It's not a full diplomacy action but it'll likely be just as significant. You will have a +23 modifier to the roll.

    I'll likely get the update out in the next several hours, then we'll start the process of figuring out the next plan.

    [X] Plan: Preparing for the Handover
    -[X] Diplomacy
    --[X] We're finally about ready to depart! Just a few more projects we need to get out of the fire and we can do so with a clear conscience too. Now that Denva is united--in spirit if not neccessarily in law yet--you feel happy about things. But there's still some education left to do before you'll be confident they'll handle things properly in your absence--especially with at least two apparently scary forces that could approach from the northern or southern routes. Fortunately, you're good at this kind of thing too! Spend the next little while educating them on how your database works, good ethics, and how they can build on the foundations you've left behind and the legacies of what they already had to protect themselves and thrive even in today's galaxy. We'll do one last pass getting their facilities up and running before we head out, but see about making sure they're well educated, so that when you've got the OMCs ready to go, they'll be able to pick them up and run with them. (Educating them on how to use our database, as well as how to expand on it if they have to, with a side line in how to handle a more data focused perspective in preparation for the OMC rollout.)

    --[X] With caveats here, you don't need a Warp Drive when your home system is still fairly rich after all, and there is no good reason why they need to know how scrapcode works aside from "It exists, Psy-Shields and Machine Spirits can resist it.". Sections on the Warp should generally be kept to general, wiki-entry level writeups and "I'll update this sometime later when I have a better understanding of how things are nowadays, since a lot of what I once thought I knew seems to have changed while I was napping, and not for the better, for now, just try to focus on the other fields--there's enough there to keep you guys busy for centuries mastering it, and I'll hopefully have an updated primer for this when you need it."

Trade goods offered: civilian trade goods, repair materials (tech-priest assistance included), personal void shields. If the deal doesn't go through, switch production to Eldar trade goods.
      -[X] Diplomacy:
      --[X] Introduce yourself as an aspiring Rogue Trader sponsor of an Explorator Survey Expedition, using an archaeotech ship design rebuilt with your resources. You aim to secure a Warrant of Trade but, given recent warnings from the Knights of the Crimson Vigil, you seek to survey this system to assess any rising threats. Offer your Tech-Priests' expertise and your onboard manufactories to assist in repairs or produce hard-to-obtain goods. In exchange, request permission to explore the system unhindered, emphasizing your goodwill and willingness to learn more of their faith. After the initial peace offering, profess your interest to trade for things like holy texts, blessed symbols and weapons, maybe even minor holy relics (read: faith-related research samples). Approach also the Adminstratum about trading for records on their stellar neighborhood and any ships that have passed through. Your hope is to establish a peaceful, productive arrangement that benefits all parties.

      -[X] Diplomacy:
      --[X] Maintain consistency with your previous statements to the space marines - you're an ancient human explorer who predates the Imperium, but is not hostile towards it. See if any of the factions present are willing to hear you out in the slightest, and offer them modest (to you, at least, if not to them) gifts in exchange for what information they can share - both on any phenomena local to the system, and on things going on more generally in the region. At worst, you'll have a test case for any future negotiations with the Imperium where you may not enjoy such crushing force superiority, at best, you might actually get to learn something and might open up the possibility of more in-depth trading in the future.

You aim to secure a Warrant of Trade but, given recent warnings from the Knights of the Crimson Vigil, you seek to survey this system to assess any rising threats.

      --[X] Tertiary priority is finding a lead on that Drukhari Raider, probably via talking to other Eldar. If you're lucky you won't have to search for her and she'll run into your newly improved sensors.

      -[X] Cia Active Psyker improvement
      [X] Plan: Hunting Glasses
      -[X] THE BIG IDEA: Chasing after Xylaris and her pirates, and finding the webway or eldar to trade with have many required tasks in common! The webway gate is the best place to search for trade partners or Xylaris, and any eldar we can find, we can reasonably try to trade with OR hire to help us find and kill the dark elves. So why not both? This plan puts emphasis on tracking down Xylaris as our plan A, hiring Eldar for their superior mobility and stealth while tying them to us as a trade partner in the process, in such a way that if we make no headway on Xylaris we can still find the webway gate and just do trade as normal. Research priorities are likewise in support of this goal, while completing HSI as first priority for the extra RP.
      ---[X] Why not just use one action? Because in general, with AP you get what you pay for. The more things you split your AP between, the less effort Vita can spend on each. Using 2 AP for trade+hunting for extra oomph is one of the chief differences this plan has from 3x research plans* like Plan: No longer blind and Plan: Woman of Fire and Steel. Whether that tradeoff is worth it or not is, of course, up to you.

    Ok, vote closed. d100 rolls needed, by separate people please.

    8th: Explore Oladeer, +10
    9th: Cia Active Improvement 1, flat roll.
    10th: Cia Active Improvement 2, flat roll.
    Then, I'm likely to need a couple of other rolls this turn depending on how I decide to write it, so can I get another 2-3 rolls to plan around?

    All told, I'm asking for 12-13 dice. No need to do these instantly, I don't need them for a few hours.

    And then there's going to be a mystery roll, which you might be able to guess about.

      [X] Plan: Warp Lab Prep
      -[X] The big idea: (for tl;dr, skip to "The Actual Plan" to just want to see what this actually votes for)
      --[x] This plan aims to smash out a sensor tech that's applicable to the warp gate, and then scan it at range to plausibly deny we were doing it to any eldar who asks, then use the second half of the exploration to go to Denva. This, and most research is prep for my pitch for next turn, which goes like this:
      --[x] Next Turn (non-binding) we can:
      ---[x] 1) Temporarily transfer bongo back to his old 400 HP vault while we...
      ---[x] 2) Get triple-nested Psy Shields,
      ---[x] 3) Trade our new tech to get an upgraded-to-permanent manufacturing boon
      ---[x] 4) Use that boon with our repair bay to refit the interior of the Oubliette into 3/4ths warp lab (180 HP) and 1/4th bongo containment (60HP) while keeping the existing 540 HP shield around both,
      ---[x] 5) Do basic daemonology research and bind Bongo so we can then put him in the 60 HP sub-compartment inside the 540 HP oubliette,
      ---[x] 6) Leave to explore Kethraxis where our anti-chaos prep will be more likely to be relevant than conventional weapons,
      ---[x] 7) Can now do Immateirum Understanding at our leisure, with time to spare for research relevant to conventional warfare.
      -[X] The Actual Plan:
      -[X] [Repair Bay] Fix damage to psychic lab (76*5=380BP), Refits as needed to implement Empathy at Range, Fix incoming damage from warp traversal
      -[X] [Free][DATA] Orks. How have they changed with the millennia?
      -[X] Research x3 (600 RP + 70 Anexa RP + 42 Tech-Priest RP)
      --[X] Improved Gellar Fields (10/100 RP -> 100/100 RP)
      --[X] Scrapcode Immunity (100 RP)
      --[X] Basic Psychic weapons (150 RP)
      --[X] Basic Pyromantic understanding (100 RP)
      --[X] Empathy at Range (200 RP)
      ---[X] Anexa assist
      --[X] Psychic tripwires (25 RP)
      ---[X] Gives us something to beef up our trade to denva - scrapcode-immune tripwires that are also sensors which are also everywhere by default is good stuff.
      --[X] Triple Nested Psychic shielding (47/200 RP)
      ---[X] Have to start on it this turn to afford finishing it and demonology with one action next turn
      -[X] Explore: Travel to Denva, but first do a scan of the webway gate at range with focus on deniability. If questioned, say we're just tuning our gellar fields before travel and waiting near the gate on the off chance we catch Xylaris at egress.

      --[X] Overflow3: Psychic Tripwires (25 RP)
      -[X] Explore: Scan the Gate from orbit. If nothing comes through & no tripwires are detected, do light, passive scanning with a probe disguised as a rock (with internal mechanisms set to self-destruct as nonviolently as we can if tampered with). If caught/confronted, explain we were recallibrating our Gellar Fields for travel and just hanging near Xylarys's most likely exit point.

    • [x] Plan: Something Hinky is afoot, let's kick its shin
      -[X] [Free] Fix damage to psychic shields. Vita Core (75/135->135/135 @ 300 BP), Bongo Oubliette (303/540->443/540 @ 700 BP) [1000/1000BP repair bay expended, 485BP of damage left]
      -[x] Research 2x (400 + 70 + 42)
      --[x] Machine Spirit Ground Tactics (150 RP)
      --[X] Personal-sized Psychic shielding (100 RP)
      --[x] Cognito Filters (250 RP)
      ---[x] Anexa Assists
      --[x] Overflow to Basic Active Stealth then Machine Spirit Hallucinations
      -[x] Construction
      --[x] Build Personal Psychic Shields for all Crew
      --[x] Build an elite squad of 4 Light, 4 Medium, and 4 Heavy machine spirit humanoid bots all with Void Shields
      ---[x]This squad will be assigned to Cia as bodyguards
      --[x] Remaining BP spent on mission gear / repairs to the transport as needed.
      -[x] Orders/Diplomacy: Get the transport ship under your control by diplomacy or violence (or a combination). Try to get the people on the transport ship to surrender. Send troops against anyone not willing to surrender. Send bots in the first wave, but let Cia go with the second wave of bots so she can get some experience in. Find out who could be propped up against chaos with the information gained from the transport ship, iconoclasts highly preferred, imperials willing to learn might have to suffice. Cause you won't stay here forever. The goal is to only prop them up enough against chaos, not nearly as much as the Denvans, especially if besides chaos there are only hardcore imperialists left.
      --[x] Victan and Cia assigned
      --[x] use Avatars for diplomacy where possible
      --[x] Stretch Goal: After we take control of the transport ship use the psy shielding of the elite squad to sweep for chaos.
      [X] Plan: Kick Chaos in the shins, grab the loot, transport ship later
      -[X] [Free] Fix damage to psychic shields. Vita Core (75/135->135/135 @ 300 BP), Bongo Oubliette (303/540->443/540 @ 700 BP) [1000/1000BP repair bay expended, 485BP of damage left]
      -[X] [Free][DATA] Do i have to feel bad for blasting chaos stations?
      -[X] Exploration: Go over all the stations (including the dead ones) searching for loot/info with our sensors. For any stations that seem special/interesting use bots for throughness. While doing this note down any Chaos presence. If we have the time take any spare parts and preserved rations we can find on the stations, for later redistribution to people we like. (90% of the stations are dead and most will have either died of some system failure or starvation not both at the same time)
      -[X] Order: With the help of our gathered intel blast the useless chaos stations with our ship and search/cleanse the ones with potential loot with our bots and Cia (prototype Psy-Shield included). If we are wildly successfull and still have time take over the ship by force/hacking aswell.

      -[X] [Free][DATA] how do the inquisitors deal with chaos infiltration?
      -[X] Orders/Diplomacy x2: Blow up all stations being obviously aligned with chaos with your ship. Get the transport ship under your control by diplomacy or violence (or a combination).

      -[X] Orders: Take control of the transport's route and stop it from continuing to dock with inhabited stations, either by hacking, hijacking, or disabling and towing into a new orbit. Be as gentle about this as possible, with a secondary goal of keeping the ship intact for later study.

      -[X] Diplomacy/Subversion: Survey the stations and cycler ship for the best iconoclastic candidate - not Chaos influenced, but as little Imperial fanaticism as possible. Force the surrender of the cycler if it isn't them, and repair it under the control of that faction. They and a Mechanicus detachment will set to restoring the system.
