question: Are any of the automata we beat up in a fixable state? I think it's about time the Iron Mantis got herself a fleet to go with her buttesse flagship. If we can salvage any of the vanquished bots, who are the most suitable candidates among our crew to command them?

I can agree that if we're trying to put on a show we should have brought up some nobles for an audience to make it worth it. ##vote A BTW, when sorting our captives for utility in our plans, why not offer up the less useful or defiant as a token gesture for the poor?

You plant your feet and wait. A rivulet of sweat drips down the Emperor's bulbous nose and lands on his collar. He looks to Anastasi, who watches with undisguised amusement. He looks back to you. Neither of you move. You start to chuckle (and it's good). The Emperor takes a hasty half-step back. "Do you want to know," you say, "how your son really died?" Something inside him snaps. He bellows like a wounded rhino as he charges you. Here's the fire that warms. Probably for the very first and last time in his life. You twist easily around his strike; your fingers tap percussively against the hilt as you swap your hold on your blade. You plunge it into his gut.  "He was annoying me," you say, pushing the sword in all the way to the hilt.  "He said I would never set foot inside Anabas, and that I should just execute him." You twist the blade. "So this is what I did." You pull the sword from the Emperor with a silky hiss, turn round to his disbelieving, sweat-slick face, plant a boot on his chest, and kick him out the Rumbler's eye.  You faintly hear the screams begin below as the surviving nobles witness their Emperor's final descent. Zaphidor thunders into the Throne room. "Did I miss-- gently caress!" "Omg Zaphidor I'm sorry," you say. 1 The Emperor is Dead. Now you: A Give Anabas over to your men, to do within as they please. Hail the conquering-- well not heroes, exactly. B Give orders to find the nominal leaders of the Peasant rebellion and bring them before you. This city is theirs now. C Start systematically tearing the golden buildings apart to maximize profit. Finish what you started and destroy the city. D Recall everyone back to the Rumbler to debrief and take stock of what you've seized. Maintain order. E Call that weird pair from the middle of the battle before you. Time to figure out just who the gently caress they are. F Head to the palace and take a seat on the throne therein. Anabas has a new Empress.

##vote D B E You always need to debrief after a mission. As for the peasant leaders, Anabas is most definitely our city but the rumbler is our home. The peasant leaders can run the place on our belalf, they are free to live their lives under our protection. In return we get a generous cut of any profits made in the city, as well as a nice place to go for r&r/ destination for any crew members tough enough to reach retirement age. The only other condition is that they not let themselves get soft like their former masters. Finally we have to meet the new guys,an operation like ours is always on the lookout for new talent.

B. I'm bored now. Rule your new city however you want but don't turn it into what it was or I'll blow it up again. Also give me stuff and I'll make sure noone else tries to gently caress with you. Protectorate or whatever.

##vote D then B then E Check to see if any of the Automata can be repaired to functionality, scavenging others for parts if need be. Scour those among the nobility and peasantry for able, loyal and capable people to replenish and swell our ranks, putting those least trustworthy closer to us for now. Lets make a show trial of the nobility to satiate the peasantry and new "allies", both to bolster the relationship, promote a reputation to proceed us and basically loot the city with consent.

D B E; D, B, E (if anyone's wondering, that gets parsed as favoring "D B E" but accepting "D", "B", or "E" as second-best) Protectorate plan as per Outrail's summary is my general idea as well, though probably not in those exact dismissive words. the_steve posted:B - The wonder twins will show up before too long, let THEM come to US whilst we attend to our business.

Ralith posted:I feel like the more assertive thing is to make them come at our call. Plus, they might try to sneak off, if they were e.g. just using us to flee the city and the city is now eminently fleeable. That's a good point, but I still feel the opposite is also true: I think it's more of a power play on our part to deliberately not go after them, and act like they're not at the top of our priority list. "Oh yeah, I'll deal with them when I get to them." Honestly could go either way, I think.
