E What exactly is "plasma" in this context? Hydrogen for fusion reactors? It's literally the most common element in the universe, surely an enterprising techpriest could figure out how to get some from somewhere nearby.

Can't we just put an ad out on space craigslist for 5000 new recruits for a bold new expedition into the expanse? Fame! Wealth! Glory! You will help me achieve it! Slightly better than average wages and rations! Failing that, yeah, the arming/hiring gangs to kidnap us some of their rivals plan works too.

DOWN JACKET FETISH posted:What does Crispy think? We rescued him, may as well get his advice. Where do most of the other servitors come from? Given that this is based on British Naval traditions, I think we have the authority to press-gang any unemployed people on Footfall to serve on our crew. And if they're out drinking somewhere, well, hopefully they have their space W-2s on them, otherwise they look unemployed to me! (Granted, other captains may be annoyed about it if we accidentally press some of their crew and they find out, but who bothers looking into crew replacement statistics anyways?)

B. "Hi. I represent a consortium of out-of-system mining interests, and we feel that your incessant infighting and price wars have lowered the price of mineralium far below what it should be. We would like to help you consolidate your hold on the mining operations here so that we can negotiate the price of mineralium upwards to where it should be. You can repay our investment by, I don't know, providing us with some captured labor for some of our more hazardous mining facilities." They capture a mine intact for us, we turn the miners over to, uh, job-retraining with the Mechanicus, and everyone's happy. Especially the people who have those annoying "critical thinking worrying" parts of their brains replaced with happy-drugs. E: We'd have to route it through some cut-out figure on Footfall, but one shouldn't be too hard to find. And then we can invite him up for tea with the Mechanicus. Five thousand and one servitors, now! sullat fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Feb 21, 2015 |

C in for a centi-throne, in for a full throne. The point of going this route is not only to acquire the personnel for the Adeptus vessel, but to do so in a public way to let people know that our dynasty has returned. For good or ill. We need to make this a public operation. Hire some merc ships to neutralize the ranged weapons, send the mercs and the augmented into the breach to lead the charge, with the Crimson guard providing close support. Maximize our public appearance (minimizing the cost by letting the mercs go first, naturally). Keep the adeptus out of it for now, they wanted us to deal with this for them, not drag them into the process of acquiring conscripts.

T3, AS2 definitely seems like the way to go. I assume we're travelling with our house troops, so we should definitely make sure our valet is bringing some windex so he can clean off our armor when we get out of the plume so that we're nice an shiny clean for the massacre. No real thoughts on the acquisition, but I doubt the Magos is going to be dissuaded from that sweet loot by a few mere thrones, so best use it on something for the boys. Generosity and magnanimity to our loyal troops will serve us well. Good melee weapons for boarding actions, maybe some grenades, better coffee in the breakroom, that sort of thing. It's the little things like that that improve morale, as opposed to boring things like "pensions" and "health insurance".

Hmm, If the price for capturing this intact is merely a few lives, let's SAlvage this bad boy. Granted, the cog-boys are going to learn about it when we ask them to integrate it to our ship, but by then it will be securely in our hands. Especially if we wait until it's been pulled into orbit.

The whole reason we gave up on the RAD grenades or the boss shield was on the off-chance there was something even more awesome here. And now that there is, we want to give it back for the hope of a return in a few decades? e: glad to have you on board team awesome lance.

Slightly Lions posted:I'll add this to my vote. As much as I want this lance array, I also want to minimize troop loses. Our men are exquisitely trained and lavishly equipped, the loss of any is a serious blow to our war-making ability. I suppose we could technically signal the servitor/augmented attack before we shut down the lance battery. Sure, the first waves might get messed up, but it would distract the LasLords away from our expensive Praetorians and give us time to shut down the lance properly.

DOWN JACKET FETISH posted:i struggle to reconcile "forerunners shackled their flesh to ancient alien machine consciousness" and "brought the AdMech in to kill off a bunch of space pirates instead of doing it personally" as equal sins in the great ledger of life Well, there are some people out there who would gladly pay their souls (and all of their family's souls) for one of them xeno-heretical devices. And those people are probably keeping an eye on us, doubly so since they've heard about our "mysterious project" far off in the reaches of space. We don't want to appear too weak to that sort, lest they decide that they can simply harvest our secrets from our brain. Sure, joke would be on them, we don't know where the device is, but small consolation for a servitor.

I assume that the augmented can make their own still? At any rate, they need space to mine, need to set up a new base, so yeah, children are a distraction.

Dude was the closest thing we had to a father. Which certainly might explain our lack of concern for the magos's new cherubim. Also, we should definitely see if he left us something in his will. Other than that, not sure what business opportunities his death creates, other than maybe fake relics of his life or new souvenir t-shirts for the inquisition gift shop.

C. Let's start brainstorming how to turn a profit. Seems like we have a number of options; turning Prosperity's Reach into a profitable colony, providing just in time delivery services to areas whose food supplies have been interrupted by the quarantine at Footfall, doing mercenary work against the types that may take advantage of the disruption, or just going out exploring and pillaging in the name of the Emperor.
