You may not bring them to the bridge. You may, however, find a way to arrange a meeting if you so wish, but know that if you mess it up you will take full responsibility for any consequences which may result from your actions.

[Leiana]

Can I have a pet?

[Nexaduro]

Jeremiah, getting them out of the way is more difficult than you imply. EVERYONE is in a gang, and nearly everyone supports their own gang's actions. These are TENS OF THOUSANDS of people we're talking about in some of the gangs, and they essentially control Asgard. I've heard horror stories about what some factions are capable of.

 

I don't know why we bother, save perhaps to retain a shipyard. We can simply hire soldiers to secure that area, I'll train a few strong psionics, and in a few months we can have them in power over Asgard.

 

Of course, that isn't the strategy I'd prefer, but it seems more intelligent than some sort of zero-sum game.

[The_Mather1]

Nex, if we can just unify them then we can rule them. The lack of food split them apart, if we can just make them one group again then they will be much easier to controll.

Though we may have to dirty our hands a little, gain trust from some gang leaders... and get rid of those that defy us. If we play our cards right then we'll end up with one big group and just a few corpses.

[Leiana]

...........Note to self: Talk to N.

 

And probably start hunting the Foxes.... And continue looking for Aidan......... anything else I should do next session, other than heal people that arn't going to kill me?

[The_Mather1]

Lynx, would it bother you to be a little biased as to who you heal? Not as in only heal certain people, but prioritize those that follow gangs that are friendly to us?

[Seraphi]

I'm thinking that if we pay some people off and dispose of others, we should be able to engineer merges to put one gang into power and then take control of it. This would make the other gangs either dissolve, or come to serve, so we regain control of the station.

 

Faust, I know what you are saying, I really do. Were we not here, they would likely all be vaporised/turned into atomic soup. Afterwards, they would have starved to death were it not for us. Then, we gave them gyms, hospitals, arcades, hell, we gave them the sky, and they still hate us. Unfortunately, we are stuck with them, and unless we want a Rapture scenario on our hands, the best thing we can do is try to regain their trust.

[The_Mather1]

That was exactly what I was talking about Ross, except I was thinking about tasks too, not only bribes.

[Earth]

Hmm. Saying we used a modification of the Infestation gun tech? Use it to gradually bend peoples thinking about others?

[The_Mather1]

No, it is not only easier and faster to earn the trust, but it is also safer.

[Leiana]

@ Chi: First of all, CALL ME LEE! Second of all, I refuse to be biased. Isn't it a medic's Duty to heal all those who can be healed, regardless of their ethnicity and color?

 

@ Everyone: Can someone explain to me why it seems that everyone on Asgard seems to hate the Unity's crew, except for me?

[The_Mather1]

Lee, I'm not saying you should only heal our friends, I'm saying you should heal them first unless someone else is in a worse condition.

[Leiana]

If we had a whole team of medics, then this would go faster. But Mask and I are all we got for medics. It seems on Asgard everyone is in a pretty bad condition.

 

And I still want to know why everyone on Asgard hates everybody in the Unity crew except for me.

[Nexaduro]

LEE'S WITH DUTY! GET HER!

 

And they don't like us because we weren't there for them when we didn't know we should have been. SI didn't tell us what we needed to know, because we didn't ask.

 

Earth, the Infestation Gun doesn't exist. We don't have the required research for it, and even if we did I wouldn't hand over my side.

 

Anyways... Jeremiah, I think we have found a situation meriting a Main Battle Tank. Shall we begin design next session? Aside from that, I refuse to be their leader, but I am best suited to deal with their power structure. It is significantly reliant on the aid of Psionic powers, and crowd-control weaponry (like my Blitz) inspires fear like nothing else among the untrained refugees. I'll also need access to a Confluence Nest to provide the refugees with relief from their depression and lessen abuse of the food pills. At some point we'll need a police force of weak natural Psionics, possibly armed with Thought Blades and phasers.

[Leiana]

Am I allowed to challrnge Faust to a fist fight? Damn idiot is getting on my nerves more than Frank.

 

Earth, is there any chance of making the thought bowstaff, or do I have to get a research point before I get any hopes of kicking Faust's butt?

[Seraphi]

I don't think the police force should be psions, due to the length of time it would take to train them. It'd be easier if they were just a higher up group.

[Nexaduro]

Asgard society is, at this point, based around Psionic power... Our officers need to be able to negate the advantage of food pills. I think training them might not be too horribly difficult, and it's something we're going to need eventually. As investigators, as soldiers, as communicators, to power Confluence Nests...

 

And Lee, I don't see what I'm even doing anymore. :blink:

[Earth]

Faust, food pils can't be made into Psionics drugs anymore.

[Nexaduro]

What, you banned all flammable substances? :rolleyes:

[Earth]

No, researched it. All pills going into the Asgard cannot be used for drugs.

[Leiana]

Earth, do I have to get a research point before the thought bowstaff is made? Or do I not do anything (except probably goof around with it and "accidently" shoot Faust with it)?

 

@Everyone Else: WE NEED MORE MEDICS, or at least people who can perfore basic first aid to the minor injuries. Mask and I probably can't do this entirely alone (unless if Mask thinks we can, then I'm saying we probably can't). In order to hit all 18 or 19 areas quicker, we need either more time or more medics.

[Icuownage]

Lee, we are already trying to hire medics and policemen but no one is applying (or they may have and so we're in the middle of training).

 

I think a meeting with the strongest gang leader is the most viable approach to diplomatically solving this.

[Leiana]

I have a feeling if that happenes either A) We're gonna end up trying to kill them or B) we're gonna make a treaty that'll probably get viloated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING TO ALL OF THOSE WHO KNOW ABOUT THE SPACE STORY I"M WORKING ON: I am going to make it temorarily unavalible to everyone. I gotta work on it and me multitasking durring a session is turning out bad. Hopefully before June 22, 2011 (aka my 16th birthday) I should have added more to it and have it back under my About Me page. I'm sorry for this inconvineance. I'm sure you'll love the interesting twist when I put it back. I'm so sorry, let me know if this is a problem.

[Nexaduro]

Lee, if you shoot me then I shoot back. Plasma weaponry is potentially quite dangerous, at least I only use nonlethal munitions.

 

Earthsage, that might either be a brilliant move or the stupidest thing you folks have done to date. Worst case scenario, we'll have mass suicides, an increased murder rate, and potentially enormous death tolls from faction warfare on our hands. You really should've waited until the Confluence Nest was online and a police-force assembled. Might go fine, though, and it will certainly make my presence all the more influential on the refugees.

[Seraphi]

Well the plan was to do it in two phases. First, we provide increased quality of life, and then stamping out the drugs when the population was happy.

 

That turned out to be a failure because the population is stupid.

 

Faust, I would rather not place all of our hope in psionics. The food pill problem has already been solved, and the confluence nest thing wont be necessary if we can start giving the population regular food and work on improving quality of life again (IIRC, it would cost about 3000kT per session to replace 50%+ of the food pills - Well within our current mining abilities.) I stand by my point of them being special operations personnel.

 

Lee, WE CANNOT GET MORE MEDICS. The population hates us, so will not accept our job offers. There are currently recruitment posters for staff to work in the hospitals (Which, by the way, your super special friends in the habitation zones have already sacked and looted...) and police forces, but turnout is, AFAIK, fairly low.
