All those clusters of 5 damage, are we playing Battletech or Aurora here?

Don't be silly, we're playing an Honor Harrington simulator.

Sure, it's a fine tombstone... but could you add a spinal laser to it?

Asking the important questions here. Without either a missile battery or an oversized spinal weapon it's just not a respectable Martian tomb at all.

Help the legitimate UT government deal with their rebel problem (read: do it for them). In exchange, they be our bitch now.

Technically the ships name is The Swiftly Brought Decisive Solution but Commander Smith doesn't like that one either (Commander Smith likes things like feeling the charred bones of Capitalists crunch under his boots).

Across the vast gulfs of time and space, across millions of years and billions of lightyears, the only constant is silly shitpost spaceship names.

Eating xenos is heresy, no matter how delicious they look. Please do not eat the xenos. Do not boil them. Do not coat their flesh with butter. Eating xenos is heresy. Do not crack their shells to get at the juicy innards. Do not form the excess meat into patties, add seasoning, and cook it.

"Given the information you have retrieved from scientific examination of prisoners and battle salvage they were at some point uplifted using cutting edge collaboration technology (circa ~16 years before the records end with what appears to be the dissolution or collapse of the Collaboration). Their own technology appears to be roughly in line with a stage 1 Collaboration client species, roughly the lowest level of technology uplifted or discovered members were raised to."

"I have much more technological information than before and will be opening some to your scientists shortly. However much is useless to you as you lack the tools and techniques to create anything truly advanced and 'bootstrapping' to them would take decades as you build the tools to build the tools to build the tools required. However there is much data on a crash course to develop a client species from even a pre-industrial state to Collaboration stage 1 development and I will be providing this as soon as possible."

So Auntie Facility can bootstrap us to roughly Fartcrab levels. That's good. poo poo, that's fantastic, then we'd only be looking at a resource disadvantage rather than a tech disadvantage. We're probably going to need to hold the crabs off long enough to make that happen.

Am I correct that the Collaboration kept introducing species to interstellar travel, then they species gazed into the abyss and went crazy, necessitating termination with extreme prejudice?

Yes

Is Facility aware of our political situation in the present form? Get the feeling it will probably not give weapon tech or we'll all destroy each other/get mopped up

He'd have to be pretty drat blind to miss a space war going on just a couple dozen AU away.

The geometries of the JPs and such favor us if they come in through Nova Sol and not Rang. No need to risk Mars unduly.

You're suggesting we allow the xenos scum to genocide fellow humans in order to score some points in an internal power struggle.

Well you would have to fill your carriers with boarding shuttles instead of fighters but you could definitely put together quite the horde. Now taking applications for Marine company command roles I suppose.
