Suffice to say, any chance of us allying with Russia is now down the drain.

 

PS. Gavrill shall be put under stricter watch. Theros, having shown little loyalty to Russia, will not be subject to this.

[The_Mather1]

It's a good think I've developed the probabillity nuke, eh Ross?

 

Currently it seems we have to ally with either Norway, the Commonwealth or both before attacking else we might be banned from the solar system. We also have the alternative of bringing Switzerland into the equation, or at least ask for their support.

That said I think we should get some Norwegian scientists, Swiss engineers and Commonwealth soldiers to help us on the ship.

 

Unless NATO has been disbanded we should weaken the Russian dogs before calling the entire NATO to arms, hopefully they'll se Russia is weakening and heed our call.

 

As primary targets when we get the probabillity nuke turrets up and running I sugguest we fire upon North Korea, Iraq, Japan, Russia, the Baltic states, Arabia, Ireland, Canada and eventually dead-center Moscow. Note how the first targets are primary developers within nuclear weaponry and other non-conventional explosive weapons.

[Icuownage]

I think most or all NATO countries are under Russian control...

[Seraphi]

Mather, I do believe that weapon of yours needs more testing first. We should head to an isolated part of the solar system with a shuttle mounted version to test it.

 

And Mather, we are already allied with the Swiss, more or less. I don't see why we should get Norway involved, since they don't appear to be doing much at all for either side, and are likely trying to remain neutral. And yes, I do believe the commonwealth would be a far better choice for us to support than Russia.

[The_Mather1]

Norway's trying to be neutral (I think) not because they want to, but because they've only got aproximatly 30 mill people, while they do have a reason to attack the Russians because they attacked to free west Germany, they simply lack the manpower to reach the commonwealth, and even if they do, they'll doom the future of their nation.

 

Non-Russian NATO members that I know of (rounded down to nations on the map) are Norway, USA, Commonwealth, France, Turkey. Probably more European nations, but those I am sure of, we don't really have to ally them, just weaken them and give them the motivational "You know what, Russia's in deep [cabbage] now, with your help we can topple them. What do ya say, finish what we once started for old times sake?".

[Seraphi]

I say we just help fund the resistance and the commonwealth for now. Since Russia's infrastructure has gone to hell, it's more a matter of patience. The resistance eats them from within, Commonwealth destroys them from outside.

Norway is a reluctant satelite of Russia.

 

France is a full ally of Russia.

 

East Germany is a reluctant satelite.

 

West Germany is a fledged member of Russia's alliance.

 

Italy doesn't care particularly.

We'll have to support the Commonwealth with technology and bombardement and the resistance with equipment then. Personally I'd prefer if we could get at least one kind of suit up and running, I'd love to take a squadron of resistance members deep into Russian land to gather intel and technology.

None of my stats or anything changed, I'm just reposting this so it'll be easier to find next session.

[Seraphi]

By my caclulations, we should have gained aroundabout 1000kT resources during the session, and with the intersession stuff, it'll be about 1300kT.

 

 

Faust, we can work on your machine after Obsidian. Since we currently have no major obligations eating up our resources (Although the station could do with some extra bays, I suppose. Living quarters, secure experimentation facility, etc), we have some stuff free to spend on personal projects.

[The_Mather1]

If I can just get some help increasing mobillity and stabillity in the MarkII we should have a good multi-pourpose suit to use for tasks that would either be high-risk or require more than twice the personell/equipment if done without. Upon completion of the MarkII my focus for the MarkIII will be put on reducing weight and alternative strenght enchancers. Since at the time we'll have nanites then that'll open up new opportunities, namely an automated repair system and metal muscles. In order to fix the running program I'll have to retrofit simulator software in order for the pilot to not only be inside the suit, but to actually be it.

 

Also once we get a station up and running, we should make a more powerfull simulator, one that doesn't break while simulating weapons of mass destruction/weapons of mass confusion (rapid-fire probabillity bomb)

[Earth]

Mather, that IS a rather powerful sim. Also, I really think that if we get the haulers up, then we could easily spend our time more on upgrades to the Unity and to the Station.. Although this can prove annoying as hell, because of the sheer ammount of recources we used.. Also, how long did the session go on for?

[The_Mather1]

Haulers? If they need tech, repair or just have to be made, would you mind me doing that in exchange for you trying to make the MarkII stable and mobile?

[Nexaduro]

The MarkII is a no-go for now, and I don't think haulers are necessary. Though, I suppose one 2000kT travel-safe ship would be helpful. Can you say the specifics again, Earth?

 

Oh, and Jeremiah, SUE destroyed your room. I asked her how she was doing in response to a query from Echo, and she went ballistic about plotting, neglect, and genocide. She then knocked me out with an AP shot and proceeded to blow up my door, Echo's chest plate, and your quarters. Apparently she's been commandeering drones through her built-in speakers and modifying her console. She extended a probe into my head, then the AP turret power was isolated and her console shut off. No worries, though, she's implanted in my brain now and her sanity is restored. So everything works out, and I wired 15kEC to your account for repairs. I don't think SUE will be a negative presence for the Unity anymore. :)

 

By the way, thanks for that Archi. However you intended SUE to work, I didn't exactly have the means to keep her safe to herself and the crew. This makes everything easier.

 

I swear, I was almost crying during the SUE incident. I was close to simply wiping her like Jeremiah did, and hated myself for it.

[Earth]

Mather, the MarkII needs less weight, so it won't need the Anti Grav plating, which will make it more mobile. Anti Grav makes things float.

[The_Mather1]

Earth, the weight is minimized allready, I've removed almost half of its initial components, the problem isn't the antigrav anyways, it has been fine tuned to weigh the most optimal weight.

Nex, not your decision.

For the record, the deal is still in place, despite this.

 

I can't let my guard down for a second.

[Nexaduro]

Correct, it's Jeremiah's decision, which he already made.

[The_Mather1]

Nex, I think you're a little outdated...

 

Jeremiah, if the stability and mobility is increased, will you accept the MarkII being put into construction?

[Earth]

Nex, haulers are neccecary to make sure the miners don't have to stop mining for long while the Unity moves the recources to the Station. Also, I really am going to decommision SUE, she is wayyyyy too dangerous. Or at least make sure she can't get out of your mind, wipe ALL the copies of her, and keep her locked away in some very small safe place if i can't delete her for good.

[Seraphi]

I will consider it, but don't get your hopes up yet. How much does it cost? I'll compare it to the existing suits and then make a decision.

 

And yes, I was thinking a hauler may be helpful, now that we have the resources to spare. A single 500kT one would work just fine, since it doesn't take an two hours to get to the station and back.

[Earth]

Jeremiah, single haulers of my design cost 365kT to build. Unless you want more modifications?

[Nexaduro]

Earth, stay out of this. You don't even understand what's going on, and I swear Jeremiah is the only one I trust to deal with SUE. Anyone else who fiddles with her is dead. As for the Hauler, note the single "Hauler" rather than plural "Haulers," I agreed with that, you evidently missed what I said.

 

EDIT: Earth, I repeat, what are the specs?

[Earth]

Read the bold.
