Correction: No the population hates you and the rest of the crew. Me and Mask are pretty much the only exceceptions :P

[Seraphi]

Well, if you are so popular, why don't you go and tell the idiots to stop stealing and ransacking the hospitals, gyms, parks, police stations, and other things which we graciously provided for them.

[Nexaduro]

Confluence Nests project stored thought and emotion... Just think of the potential!

 

Also, mindreading could prove to be a useful asset for any police force, just because I've never used it doesn't mean it's not useful.

 

The main problem with the populace is the sheer presence of death, everyone has lost someone, if not everyone. The Earth was destroyed, and many saw the Kitsune cutting their comrades in half with beam weaponry, along with the constant ability to hear each other's minds and omnipresent starvation it's a wonder they're still sane.

[Icuownage]

I think we should perhaps look from their perspectives really.

 

You've lost your home, your lively hood and perhaps most if not all of your family and friends. (I'm not actually educated on the story so I'm sorry if I get some details wrong) but then I imagine they were shipped off to these colonies in space. They're of course not the same as Earth, you're pretty much homesick 24/7. People started getting annoyed throughout the colony by just the general emotional level that must have been on board, and still is. The government (We basically are) sure helped you get to this place, and obviously when you got there it must have been below satisfactory level for life, which further adds to the annoyance of thigns. The government then leaves you all to your own devices, forgetting one thing. These people practically just placed their lives in your hand and you have just left them (I'm not sure if you said goodbye or not, if you didn't then it's even worse). Now imagine what had gone on during your abscence. The gangs would have risen up, and of course the gang wars started. The more powerful factions having control over people, probably through drugs and general fear. This is your new home, a space station that has to compensate for Earth, your old home. People were beginning to fill with hate, total unguided hate. They needed something to express their hate on, and if they did it on themselves it would only end if further gang wars and death, they just looked over to the easiest thing to blame, which was you guys. The people who placed you here, the people who then left you there.

 

Now I think us ever ruling over them and them liking us is so unlikely to happen we may have to count it as impossible. That place has so much corruption that it is illogical to think that we could fix it within the time allotted.

 

What I think we may have to consider is instating a ruling class (which I think was previously stated as an idea). We would have to meet with every gang leader, most likely through comms. We need to interview them, see what type of government we're going to have to instate and then try to somehow, make them pro-us (it is generally easier to change a small group of people, so converting one gang will be easier). This sounds like corruption, and hell it is, but we're going to have to fund this gang to pretty much dominate the station. Their ideals will spread with their rule, and if the majority start becoming pro-us, then the space station will eventually be a safe place to go, but we will not control it once it reaches that point, we will merely be an influential member.

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

 

Most of them still can, since they were grown, not replicated...If you are going to change this you would need to burn/dispose of the crops on Europa and grow a whole new batch.

 

 

 

 

Just as notes:

The SI informed you that they wanted to talk and was ignored.

Current supplies are 6,084 kT.

Britian and the Commonwealth are getting progressively more agitated by the lack of a solution to the problem from Europa.

Alliance forces are picking off Commonwealth mining ships, so the Commonwealth is going into a steeper decline than before.

The asteroid belt is beginning(and only beginning) to become depleted, at the present rate of mining it will be exausted in 2 (session 50) years.

The Terra Blackhole has evapourated.

Luna has a 50-50 chance of colliding with Mars or settling into an orbit. It then has a 30-70 chance of stablising or knocking Mars out of a predictable orbit. Within the next 43 years.

Cruisneth is flying into open space and will leave system in 56 years.

 

Minor differences in other planet's orbits have been detected, though are largely unaffected.

[Nexaduro]

One: We need to strip mine Cruisneth before it heads out, perhaps use the resources to fortify Europa.

Two: What is the problem with Europa?

Three: I vote we save Luna, for resources if not terraforming.

Four: Exactly, Gavrill.

[Jehosaphat]

Correction: No the population hates you and the rest of the crew. Me and Mask are pretty much the only exceceptions :P

They even hate the guy who's been in a coma for months? :blink: Dang, people are unreasonable.

[Earth]

Hm.. True. ... Yeah, just had a very stupid idea involving plants growing recources. Ignoring that path ENTIRELY. We should take over the Alliance, or destroy it sometime soon, and then find a way to make a renewable recource object.... .. Psionic synthesis, anyone? And the Europa problem is probably ebcause we haven't reported what has happened to the people on the Asgard yet, or said if it's going to be able to feed people. We should get to work on all of those things... Which, honestly, I think we should be able to do as teams. Faust, Mask, and Lee dealing witht eh Asgard, Jeremiah and Apep co-ordinating stuff, me(?) and Frank(?) dealing with the Alliance/Europa food problem, and Chi researching synthesis techniques.

[The_Mather1]

The only problem is that most of the puzzles that we've gotten lately are way out of my league.

[Seraphi]

Alrighty. I'm going to look into using genetic therapy on the plants to give them the anti drug thing. Also, we now have 15 mining ships, so I believe we should take action against the alliance, since they are generally being unreasonable at this point.

 

Construction of a fleet can begin ASAP.

[Earth]

Okay then. Do you want me to comandeer ships like I usually do?

[Seraphi]

Not before we are prepared for a possible counterattack.

[Earth]

Okay then, build first, stab later, then work on biological mind control gun.

[Corvus]

Well one potential method to restore order on the asgard would involve taking a page out of Fox's book and hiring Mercenaries/Pirates to launch an attack on the Asgard station while we are ferrying supplies killing as many civilians as possible, and then we return, and kill the mercenaries (so it doesn't look like we hired them). if this plan remotely works either we will end up recapturing the station with our mercenary force or we regain the support of the people aboard the station. Alternatively we could go aid Boomer Base if they still need it and take a bunch of refugees from there (preferably with military experience) and offer them luxury if they can take control of the situation aboard Asgard Station, give them all the armaments they need and let them install themselves as the leaders of Asgard station.

Other than these I am working on one other potential solution, which will show you how benevolent of an AI I can be by putting my mind to the task of helping all of mankind, in order to combat the negative perception of AI's that is becoming oh so common.

Arch, my science problem is Bread. reset my puzzles too, as I only have 1 left

[Earth]

You think AI's have a bad track record?... Well, they do, but I think i've done worse. Personally, I've managed to unleash a biological/mechanical, sun fed abomonation with a hammer, blow up a ship I was trying to repair, ruin relations with several countries (I cannot remember how though), set fire to an alien base with plasma, and caused hilarious deaths with gravity related weaponry. And then blow up another ship.

[The_Mather1]

^ And people say I make bad deccissions. -.-

[Seraphi]

I think the mercenary/pirate idea is a terrible one.

 

Also, who is the Boomer Base allied with? If it's anything but the British alliance, I was thinking we could deliver a couple thousand kT worth of aid to them.

[The_Mather1]

I wonder if the Boomers are related to the Fallout: New Vegas Boomers.

[archimage_a]

It isn't.

I am gonna be delayed. Planned to get up 2 hours ago to do some stuff(including puzzles), then got majorly strange dreams which I puzzled over until I fell back to sleep <_< . Anyway, gonna do stuff, feel free to talk.

[Leiana]

Earth, if you're attending today's session, can I mess around with the bow that was made for me? It'd probbably do more dama- on secend though ingnor that. I'll wait untill we're safely away from Asgard before I mess with that. Lets not cause hell because I brought an actual weapon.

 

Anywho, what's the likelyhood of me surviving, using the metal rod I'm carrying, a fight with the scary people if THEY started the fight?

[archimage_a]

Ok, I done.

[Nexaduro]

I agree with Jeremiah, about the pirates. Though there's always a place for chaotic good pirate crews. <3:

 

Anyways, can't get the theme for Gundam 00 out of my mind, MUST DESIGN MOBILE SUIT.

 

I think we should get CN Suits for Lee and Theros, sort of an identification thing as well as armour stronger than any possessed by the current Sol factions.

 

EDIT: Mission successful. Mobile Suit Kinesis Gear awaiting testing.

[archimage_a]

Current kT is 0, due to an accounting error more was spent than harvested.

 

Be advised that upwards of 3,000 people are dead on the station due to fighting with the advanced weapons. More significantly there has been 7,450 kT worth of damage.

Even more significantly recordings of Unity Broadcasts offering weapons have been played on Freedom Radio.

And, of the utmost significance a data network has been set up onboard Asgard.

 

The network is mainly built from scraped computer terminals and whatnot and has mainly spread from the Eastern Arm of the Station, which has been defined as the Technocrat Zone.

The network originally started as a military defence system to counteract invasions with the new weapon toting Freedom Brigades, but quickly developed into a civil communication systems.

 

A map is shown here:

[hide][/hide]

 

 

The last month has seen a great deal of changed, partly because of the electronic revolution, partly due to finally having a common enemy to unite against that they could hit (Freedom), which, after the initally violent stage, has developed in a more peace loving direction, largely due to the Pact of Steel; an alliance between the Technocrats, Zephyrus, Signal and Last Hope, against Freedom, Duty and Kitsune, later expanded to include Tetsu, Kitsune's Battle Thralls.

Other gangs soon flocked to this Pact, having all suffered at Freedom's hand, thus it was innevitable that Freedom would be attacked first.

The bloody conflict, taking the best part of two weeks, finally came to a stalemate outside of the University, which had a jury rigged microwave defence tower, making approach neigh impossible.

With the attack ground to a halt Signal's other half struck, slaughtering the South's leadership and taking control of the Southern Arm entirely. While the Pact was appalled it could do little, so accepted the situation.

Zephyrus, meanwhile, annexed Dongal and Fukushu, and took control of the remains of the Unity Science Bay, suffering the loss of a bay to revolt for this epic betrayal of trust.

Melborne, drawing from the general discontent of Eurus, took control of another three bays, including the Library.

 

In the South Eastern arm an alliance between the various gangs formed and collapsed amicably, forming three spheres of control. Hamilton having recieved some aid from the Unity is the only gang not to be strongly opposed to working with the Unity. Jefferson, having also recieved some aid, supports the idea of peace, maybe eventual friendship, with the Unity, but nothing beyond that. Cape Awesome, on the other hand, shares the majority belief that it would be better if the Unity would leave sufficent supplies for them to recover on their own, and then leave.

 

The South Western arm saw the least fighting, with a peaceful ceeding of bays to Last Hope as it grew in strength.

 

The Technocrats, after an abortive attempt to break into the ship building bay, marshalled what supplies it could to produce weapons and armour. While technically skilled the Technocrats were not afraid to fight either, leading many of the charges into Freedom, as well as being instrumental in the formation the 'League', a democratic state which is hoped will serve as their main government in a Federal State.

 

The North West Arm, intitally, suffered no fighting, with Duty and Kitsune staring each other down, while Britannia watched nervously. Then the attack into Freedom stalled and the Pact lurched into Duty...This has been recognised as a major mistake. Kitsune took advantage of this, allowing their mysterious leader out, and swiftly dominated three bays, before returning to the saftey of the main bay.

Duty, reeling from this two pronged attack, was attacked by Britannia, who wrestled a bay off of them, though the population continue to resist strongly.

 

As the effect of their attack became apparent the Pact withdrew, forming a strategic perimeter around the Arm.

 

 

It should, however, be observed that these actions account for only 30% of the people on the station, with the majority as cattle or sheep, serving whichever gang happens to conquer them, hence the simultanous development of the data network, which is supplying the majority of this information. :thumbup:

 

 

Elsewhere the Terran Federation, or a base transmitting in Terran, on Terran codes, in the style of a Terran, has begin transmitting. This base appears to be on Mars. The message generally consists of a warning to stay away or face sure and certain death at the hands of Grand High Lord of the Admirality Dusty. Their fleet strength is unknown.

 

Base Alpha, the American base orbiting Venus, has launched two Destroyers.

 

The British have continued their asteroid colonisation program, which is nearing stage 1 completion.

 

The Commonwealth, suffering under daily raids by the Alliance, has practically disintergrated, with bases 'doing their own thing'. Safe zones have been established on all bases, which are protected by emplaced Graviton Hellbores, capable of destroying, or at least damaging, the raiders. However the majority of the base's population is outside this range. Without a mining Fleet the Commonwealth is suffering almost a million a month death rates.

 

The Alliance, comparatively, is growing stronger by the day, with five heavy destroyers and a host of support vessels built from their ill gotten gains. The British public are slowly turning towards the Alliance as rations take their toll for another month.

[Nexaduro]

I ask again, what were the problems with Europa? Is it safe for colonization yet? I say we enact an anti-mining treaty and leave it to the three nations. Huzzah, it is just like Gundam 00!

[archimage_a]

The lack of land and a strong atomsphere.

No.
