Okay, here's a preliminary plan that puts our focus largely to entirely on our task.
First, it tries to lock in a good knowledge of the written language, by using the translation+checking action combined with a broad swathe of retrieved documents. Notably, Max is translating Moulder materials, Johann is getting Skyre materials, Adela is getting Mors materials, and the Ubersreik/Mousillon actions are getting Pestilens materials, so our knowledge of the Queekish lexicon should be broadening significantly- still has holes in the Eshin department but I'm not willing to poke Eshin on this given that most of our paranoia centers there.
Second, in preparation for next turn it builds a stronger rapport with Qrech, which will hopefully give us a better understanding of his mind and make him more receptive to our arguments, and tries to convince him to be more selfish. This is intended to lay the groundwork for a "get him to teach us spoken Queekish" action next turn. In anticipation of that it also increases Wolf's intelligence so that he can hopefully assist with anything the language requires which our human physiology can't quite manage.
The paper on Queekish is NOT published as spreading knowledge of our project so widely seems far too likely to provoke skaven response, to me.
This plan does sacrifice personal development and unrelated research in order to accomplish its goal, but if we want to translate as much of Queekish as possible without tipping Qrech off before pushing him to turn and teach us properly, and we're trying to do so in a timely fashion, I think it does the job better than any other plan I've yet seen proposed.
[ ]Plan Translation Focus
-[ ] MAX: Study an artefact: Chaos Dwarf Anatomy Book
-[ ] JOHANN: Join him on raids with the aim of finding written correspondence (Skryre).
-[ ] DUCK: Adela's started her education in Dwarven engineering. Escort her to do field-testing with some of Gotri's prototypes, and grab what Queekish you can while doing so (Mors).
-[ ] Found an internal investigation division, to investigate possible misconduct.
-[ ] Supply a steady stream of Queekish documents for Qrech to translate, and carefully check the results for consistency.
-[ ] Seek to build a stronger rapport with Qrech, and provide enough sources of mental stimulation that you can turn your attention elsewhere.
-[ ] Convince Qrech that the Underempire has no way of knowing he's even alive, and that he should prioritize the comfort with which he will live the rest of his life.
-[ ] Wolf is fully grown and a Very Good Boy. Train him. (increases his intelligence, he may learn to speak Praestantia)
-[ ] Travel to Ubersreik and Mousillon to try to claim any captured Skaven writings.
-[ ] Have additional rooms excavated underneath your Penthouse: -100gc for 4 rooms.
-[ ] Write a paper: The ability of Alkharad to assume a projected form of mist. (ALMOST FADED)
