[X] Plan: The Disciples of the Cogitare Exploratium
-[X][FREE] Spark of the Ancients Repair Bay: 1 shuttle bay and 2 fighter bays dismantled (3 slots freed) - 3 Machine Spirit Manufactory added (540 BP) (1 MS Manufactory = 1 slot). Rest goes to repairing the Bongo Oubliette (460 BP - 92 points of repairs) (443/540 HP -> 535/540 HP).
-[x] Command: Blow up any Chaos-tainted stations you find and detect.
-[X] Construction (500 VBP / 500 LC): 50 BP immediate aid / bribes, 450 BP to 3x Machine Spirit Manufactory (120 BP, 20 CP), 1x Anti-personnel Bunker (40 BP, 2 CP) w/ mods: Psychic Shielding, 1x Small automated medical facility (50 BP, 50 CP), any additional BP from MSPI to completing the unfinished MS Manufactory. The cluster of installations shall be the HQ for Cogitate Exploratium base of operations.
--[X][COGITARE] Send 22 members of the Cogitare Exploratium to be left on the ship temporarily, with the gift of 12 personal void shields from the bodyguard bots that saw battle against Chaos, removed from the bots and crafted into their augmented bodies or given as a talisman to the most militant members, as their preference. And 1000 Heavy and 1000 Light Machine-spirit Infantry Bots (40 CP).
--[X][MISSION] Primary goal: Stabilize and repair the ship and ease the suffering of its population, as well as evacuate the stations. Convert the ship to host people instead of ore. Secondary goal: Convert people to the Cogitare Exploratium, or be positively affiliated with it. This ship will be a recruiting grounds for the Cogitare Exploratium, seeking people with the aptitude for technology and science when given the education and a chance. Recruit both from the Ductsworn and the Bridgeborn as a neutral party, focusing on the ship itself. This is meant to end with the Cogitare Exploratorium becoming the dominant faction on the ship with hopefully a peaceful takeover. They are also encouraged to freely share basic uplift primers and teaching and augmenting people they don't directly recruit (especially to control the new installations they will be making), if they think it will help the situation.

The cluster of installations shall be the HQ for Cogitate Exploratium base of operations.
--[x] Write-in: Send 17 members of the Cogitare Exploratium to be left on the ship temporarily, gifting each a personal void shield (Note 1) and a detachment of bots for security (Note 2). Their primary goal is to stabilize the ship and ease the suffering of its population, then the stations and their populations (or prepare the ship to hold evacuations most likely), while also helping by arming people to stomp out Chaos cults where they appear, if feasible. Aim with the repairs to convert the ship to hold people instead of ore. Tell the tech-priests that they are in charge to manage the ship as they see fit. They are free to recruit initiates to the Cogitare Exploratium after making sure of their trustworthiness to expand their numbers, but are to keep the truth about Vita's true nature a secret for now. They also encouraged to freely share basic uplift primers and teaching and augmenting people they don't directly recruit (especially to control the new installations they will be making), if they think it will help the situation. Only restricted cybernetic for non-Cogitare initiate is the Human Simulation brain-implant.
---[x] Note 1: We had 9 void shields on the ship, 4 of which went to Vita and C-Crew. We can take the remaining 5 and the 12 we made for the bodyguards and use them for the stay behind priests.
---[x]Note 2: Leave the 17 tech-priests behind with 703 Light Machine-spirit humanized infantry bots (20 CP), 840 Medium Machine-spirit humanized Infantry Bots (20 CP), and 1131 Heavy Machine-spirit Infantry Bots (40 CP). This gives them a sizeable detachment and removes cleans up our rounding errors.
