[ ] Plan: I'll get my own nuns! But with swords because they're cooler
-[ ][FREE] Apologize for spooking them, we're just an exploratory cruiser on a survey mission, we'll keep to the outer system until we've finished maintenance and then get on our way.
-[ ][FREE] Repair all shield damage (Repair Bay covers all of it!)
-[ ] Explore:
--[ ] Caldereth
-[ ] Research x2 (400 + 65 Anexa RP)
--[ ] Faith is my Shield? (100 RP)
--[ ] Improved Gellar Fields (100 RP)
--[ ] Basic Psychic Amplification Devices (100 RP)
--[ ] Basic Psychic Suppression Devices (85 + 65 Anexa RP)
--[ ] Okay, maybe there's a point to medical school (15, now at 45/50 RP)
This is a focused push to get our Gellar Fields tuned up (Because hoo boy we don't want to be taking that kind of damage from Bongo every time we Explore), and get a basic package to help Cia's progression, with the basic amplification devices and basic suppression devices. We're also doing the Faith push so we can, you know, actually engage these people--but later, when we've properly done a deep dive on the benefits of the whole business.
With Cia now having 135 points of Shield in her training facility now too, I'm willing to risk having her go Active now, especially since Faith + Suppression Devices should make Perils either harder to happen or less damaging if they do.
EDIT: I'm also perfectly fine with engagin the space nuns, though I do think that we'll want to be circumspect about it, I definitely want Faith is my Shield and Improved Gellar Fields this turn though.
In fact, here's another plan that does just that.
[ ] Plan: Look, it's clear we have a weakness for space nuns
-[ ] Explore:
--[ ] Either an in depth survey of Ascalon, or Caldreth--depending on the results of the Diplomacy action.
-[ ] Diplomacy:
--[ ] Oh boy oh boy, more zealots. Fortunately, if this is more along the lines of Cia, this... Might be doable. Introduce yourself as the sponsor and partner of an Explorator Survey Expedition, making use of a design recovered from an early dark age vessel that was discovered in the region, and constructed using your resources. You do have certain aspirations towards acquiring a Warrant of Trade when contact can be re-established with the greater Imperium, but a recent meeting with the Knights of the Crimson Vigil have shown that the Sector's getting a little hectic with threats. Hence the mission, to see where they are and who's still in one piece. If they'd still prefer to keep you at arm's reach, you understand. Otherwise, you have a staff of talented Tech-Priests on hand if there's any devices that need maintenence, and you've got several manufactorums on board that can manufacture any goods they might need that they can't produce on site. We'll be able to spend a few years here doing a more detailed survey of the system with their permission, and can easily multi-task if we have to.
