In other matters, your troops back at base are enduring a furious training schedule under the guidance of your esteemed Sergeant Major. By his estimates, all 300 non-phobia'ed candidates should either be ready or be washed out within 2 turns. Cries for mercy and BRRRRRTTSSS of large calibre weaponry can be heard from throughout the base emanating from your training facility. Man, your training facility is effective but fucking brutal...

I don't think we need to spend an action for an already deployed scouting expedition (correct me if I'm wrong Strelok), but if you want to spy on the robot scouts that's fine.

We just captured some catlike robots that might be part of their force though, our scouts should send them back to our base for study.

A few of your scouts are currently in the field, but were beginning preparations to withdraw seeing as you actually captured a few of your quarry. If you'd like to observe their actions against/around other factions in the field then you'd have to burn another action this turn.

The scoutbots are already in your containment units, you simply have to use an action if you'd like to interrogate/deconstruct/otherwise study them.

You have no artillery aside from a few mortar batteries Topside (artillery is pretty useless caveside). You do possess the ability to manufacture basic artillery though.

Ok, thanks.

Right then, manufacturing artillery should be a pretty major priority for us in the near future. If we want to be an effective fighting force on the surface, we will need some heavy ordinance.

OP may or may not fall asleep if the thread doesn't pick up. Even if I don't fall asleep...I have to wake up at 4:45 or so tomorrow for work, so the thread will be much shorter than usual.

We don't even really know what's on the surface, for now I suggest we focus on improving our infantry as far as military goes.

We don't really need artillery to explore all the caves and underground bunkers and shit.

As far as heavy ordinance goes, all we have right now is the walkers.

That's exactly why we should build artillery -- having a great many cannon will mitigate a number of other shortcomings.

And improving infantry is necessary and beneficial, but there's just no real replacement for artillery. Without it, we're severely limited both on offence and defence.

Or to put it like this; while that ghoul horde was advancing up the valley, we should have been firing on them.

Bump.

Rolled 96 (1d100)

>>41861653
In our current state and environment, open battles should really be our last resort. In a world where anything useful is below ground or immune complex, artillery seems a bit wasteful.

You there, the anon who suggests we get artillery.

I like you and fully agree with your sentiment, and feel that we've neglected the surface considerably.

>>41860930
What's the status on the stealth drone research by the way? It's been going on for some time and we've already provided the resources.

>>41862263
Especially considering friendly (human) factions are more likely to be on the surface than underground. I do agree with underground expedition too.

Perhaps the two arent' mutually exclusive. We could develop artillery capable of both arced and direct fire, for hard targets below ground and to smash targets above ground.

>>41862263
>What's the status on the stealth drone research by the way?

Sword said he was "about halfway done" a few turns ago, so... maybe 60%? Two-thirds?

>>41862335
Bah, I still suggest we further explore the surface once either our current scout force is done with their task, or the new troops are trained. Or better still we send out the Major next turn to do so anyway with some good men.

Speaking of prisoners, I believe we were also supposed to deliver them sometime soon. I want them gone and out of our hairs, and I can't say I'm interested in another fight so soon.

Damn, I wonder if Strelok went to bed. Well, the good thing about these civ's is that they're durable at least, and perhaps he has time off tommorow.

>>41862397
We can always argue like congress until he gets back.

>>41862397
We swapped the prisoners with those tribals or whatever. The ones we have now are the bandits.

>>41862448
Oh, well then, nevermind. Fuck em.

>>41862430
Naturally. Hmm, let's see.

Priorities, priorities.

I agree with the anon from last thread who says we're not "thinking like bugs" when it comes to the insectoids. Truly, now that I think about it, why would bugs communicate through language or speech like humans, and not via chemical or perhaps psionic telepathy like bugs would. I wouldn't put psionics or chemical hivemind out of the question, especially since it's clear they were designed by Sherman to be workers/soldiers.

Technology:
Things we need to do -
Research the Stealth Drones (working on it) [X]
Research the bandit "gifts" (working on it) [X]
Reverse engineer the Ray-Guns to be produced [ ]


Civilization Needs
Map of the Island and our larger overworld map [ ]
Setting up a secondary foothold on surface or underground (I suggest sniper outposts on the tops of the mountains close to our base) [ ]

Of course we can always add to this

>>41862504
We really should make a numbered to do list of this stuff so we aren't spending so much time trying to figure out what to do each thread.

>>41862547
>>41862504
We also need more power armored troopers... That is the whole point of this remnant faction right? To mech?

>>41862586
Yeah, luckily we'll be getting that third action soonish. I suggest it be used to completely armor up our existing military to full capacity. That is, train all of them in the usage of power armor.

>>41862586
The remnants are the kind of "jack of all trades" faction. They aren't outstanding at anything, but don't have any real weaknesses either.

>>41862613
>power armored blitztroopers wearing hoverbike boots

>>41862638
Yeah!

Exactly my thoughts earlier this week. Gyrobikes can provide us fast movement capability to even our heavy troopers, we can model our surface assaults and methods via the german blitz and using combined arms.

Including artillery and maybe even aircraft or at least attack drones.

>>41862663
Could always try to figure out anti-grav propulsion for power armor or convert some of our walker tans into hover tanks

>>41862663
We will have to figure out how to capitalize on our speedy raids. Fortunately we can practice raids on the fuckers that captured our men and vehicles.

>>41862586
I thought it was to capture unsuspecting tribals and experiment on them with mutagenic substances?

>>41862688
>>41862663
We need to hover upgrade everything we have, possibly add hover research to the list.

Kek, that breaks so many human taboo's it ain't funny anon.

We probably want our infantry to be firmly on the ground.

APCs and armored cars should work pretty well though, especially in this snow.

>>41862723
We have more or less become bandits already. We use bandit tech, we engage in slave (prisoner) trade, furthermore our biggest gains have come by outright stealing from other humans.

>>41862875
Then we'll need to get them tanks worthy of carrying tanks.

>>41862824
Couple reasons. The units will bulk up their suits, which will get in the way of CQB. Not having traction against the ground might interfere with shooting. The units are an additional point of failure on the suits. They'll take power which, if they enemies we've faced so far are typical, we might need for more advanced weaponry.
>>41862875
Infantry, even powered infantry, will never be as well armored as vehicles.

>>41863055
Eh, I don't disagree with you. But as it stands we currently lack manufacturing capability. And that kind of stuff is hard as shit to find.

Might be some megacorp survivors or abandoned bases we could raid though, or just try and jury rig some together using salvaged parts. The bandits of the region have considerably more tech and we're on a science facility anyway, so there's plenty of opportunity everywhere to see how we can improve our infrastructure research wise.

Mayhaps the robotic scientist might be exactly the person we need as a friend, especially in light of potential robotic assembly lines.

>>41863087
addendum about the survivors, I suggest allying them and NOT raiding them.

Unless they sell to bandits, then time to go full dredd.

>>41863055
>>41863087
Although I'm thinking about it again and maybe not. Using them kind of like jumpjets could provide some nice tactical advantages in the field, although it might mean they can't deploy by vehicle. I suppose it will depend on just how hard they are to engineer.

Anyway, the bikes also had shielding units IIRC, so I'd like to develop that tech as well.

>>41863300
They could close in on an enemy faster than they can react then deliver a hyperspeed punch that would rival even the most advanced rail gun.

Her head rotates in a disturbingly jerky, robotic movement and a second face on the woman's head, exactly the same as the first comes into view. This one is lit up by a tremendous grin and stares directly into the camera lens.

Your workers swarm into the hydroponics bay, shoving aside growth bays to make room for expansions and extensions and new trays. The seedling incubators and fertilizer tanks are expanded, aquaponics enhanced, and overall growing space is nearly doubled.

Then we stumbled upon some old semi-corrupted notes in some of the computers in the hydroponics area. The notes are difficult to read, and Strelok can't seem to detect their presence, but they seem to suggest that there's some way to actually expand the hydroponics bay physically. The files that would instruct one on how to do this exactly are too heavily corrupted to access though.

Either way, food production has been greatly expanded. Water consumption has gone up apace, but with the automatic snowmelt collectors that shouldn't be an issue.

>Research the Bandit Armory

Your military members and scientists set themselves to cracking open and cataloging the Bandit Armory. The armory is quite extensive and surprisingly high-tech for coming from bandits...then again these were bandits with gravbikes and shields. Everything from some strange personal shield units to strange magazine fed squad artillery weapons to strange guns that fired cones of FUCKING ELECTRICITY or RADIATION were represented. Unfortunately, a lot of the stuff was booby trapped to high hell and back and tended to explode before it could be analyzed. We've still got plenty of usable weapons of all sorts, but our researchers can only pull suitable samples for research from small categories.

What makes you think you can produce them?

You chose a bunker. Bunkers are moreso repositories of awesome stuff than they are makers of awesome stuff. Towers are the ones that come with less awesome stuff but more of the ability to produce it.

Now to be fair because of your fluff you'll have a massive headstart on producing them but unless you get manufacturing equipment you'll basically be making spare parts sufficient to build a new one and then assembling them painstakingly by hand. It's doable, and because vehicles are terrifying deathmachines it's even viable, but it's far from the best way to do it.

Rolled 20 (1d100)

>>41917240
>>41907824
If we're going to produce vehicles, it should be war walkers to help us take Graphon Tower for ourselves.

Although if we're going to be manufacturing anything, it should probably be more power armor and advanced weapons, including heavy weapons that require power armor for a normal human to be able to use.

I'd like to reiterate that we need to get more AI upgrades and unlock the full potential of our base, it may include manufacturing equipment.

Also yay Strelok is here!

Rolled 10 (1d100)

>>41917632
Power Armor is extremely difficult to manufacture. Like, being able to manufacture power armor is large-faction endgame tier type shit. You can't produce it except with actual materials (no resources allowed), which means either burning very-hard-to-get supplies, or having an intact supply chain for everything you'd need, or being a Think Tank. Your handful of power armor suits are worth a king's ransom to most, and the 25 you lost to Sherman were worth a small fortune.

Now what was the consensus for actions? Was there any diplomacy going on with Graphon Tower or anyone else?

>Research/Develop Winterized Gear

So our members went about looking into making winterized equipment and realized that somehow...no one in the bunker had a goddamn clue about how to make good cold-weather gear. They went outside and tried all sorts of shit from covering our vehicles or troops in synthetic wool, to exothermic chemical reactant packs, to covering and vehicles or troops in hot water. On the upside we discovered a lot of ways NOT to stay warm on top of a freezing mountain, on the downside we hit a goddamn research wall.

Then someone thought about searching the base archives.

>Discovered: Winterized Template Schematics

There were blueprints for winterizing literally every piece of gear we have in the base, and even some gear that we don't have yet. Better yet it's all simple and easy to do, and designed to be manufactured and done with the equipment we have on hand. On the downside, winterized vehicles will be much more susceptible to heat damage if they're operating caveside rather than topside.

What would you like to winterize?

Obviously someone with ambition, so the first step is a public announcement for the position, weeding out the ones not-interested.

The next step might be as simple as a public oratory competition, someone who can use their tongue very well.

Other would be if they are informed about the peoples outside of our base in any way, if they have any knowledge or connection with Graphon tower.

Also they need to actually be able to judge the value of items and equipment from a distance or even from description, knowing the difference between faulty junk and actually valuable items. It may be they need a degree of engineering or technical skills.

The last step could be a contest. Each person ought to be given something of an unknown value or make, perhaps the parts the something important mixed with useless junk. The first person to successfuly barter and trade for enough parts and figure out the usefullness of them gets the position.

Bonus points if they can turn useless junk into something even more useful, thinking outside of the box an all. Someone who can tell the worth of something beyond face value.

"Attention Whitestone Members. Command has announced the formation of a new pseudogovernmental position during this period of martial law: Minister of Foreign Trade. Assessment for fitness for the position will take place in Anteroom 2C, followed by a general vote on the candidates. Please report to Anteroom 2C if you are interested in the position."

Your assessment center was shortly inundated with candidates, from former used vehicle salesmen to simple shop clerks and more it seemed like most of your civilian population were there. The assessment opened up with a simple test of estimating the value of various objects as a weeding out measure. Some technical problems occurred without a system of currency in place anymore, but they were minor and smoothed over quickly. Approximately 3/4 of the hopefuls were eliminated at this stage, with several people making ridiculous estimations of the utility value of simple towels or bottles of water.

Next came a "selling" contest where the prospects were given an assortment of objects and told to attempt to sell one to a committee of their peers. This further reduced the number of potential candidates, as several simply couldn't make the sale. A handful of candidates, including a former industrial sales specialist and unexpectedly enough a dockworker, excelled at this competition.

Finally there was a public oratory competition among the remaining candidates. None displayed any particularly intense oratory ability aside from the industrial sales representative, but few of the performances were particularly bad.

Rolled 32 (1d100)

The distinguished dockworker had a surprisingly charming performance that spoke to the laymen, while the sales rep was better able to create a sense of urgency in his audience.

>Have someone in Power Armor go out and feed the Mute-Mutt.

A lone power armored figure shuffles its way across the moist grey stone of the stalagmite-dotted cave floor. The air is hazy with a slight fog, and the figure drags a slab of meat the size of a cow behind it by ropes. A pair of eyestalks sit on the hunk of meat, with small claws on chitinous arms occasionally emerging from where their legs are and sawing off a morsel to devour. They stare at your soldier.

A small distance away, obscured by the mist in the air is a silhouette of a large quadruped. Disgusting gulping, chomping, and wet swallowing noises can be heard from its direction.

"Alright now Hemson...just chill out. It's just a huge mutant monster twice your size with razor sharp teeth and fucking mindpowers. No big deal..."

The mist clears and the Mute-mutt is revealed standing aside a large, mostly devoured carcass. It stands as tall as Hemson in power armor at its shoulder, and its grey-brown bulk ripples with powerful muscles and is studded with the occasional prehensile spine. Its mouth opens to rip a chunk of meat from the carcass, and several rows of vicious looking teeth are revealed. Now that you're able to take a closer look at it, it seems that in several places...there are human torsos incorporated into its form.

"Hoooly fuck."

The Mute-Mutt turns towards Hemson and opens its mouth, spilling out a long tongue and causing a cascade of bloody saliva to pour onto the cave floor.

"Hey at least you guys got my back right, eyestalks?" Hemson looks back towards his chunk of meat for the reassuringly omnipresent presence of the eyestalks.

They can be seen scurrying off into the distance with a rapidity they've never displayed before, their odd scuttling gait causing them to bounce up and down as they eat distance to the nearest stone pillar. They continue on even as Hemson curses at them through his integrated loudspeaker.

Rolled 52 (1d100)

Hemson turns around back towards the Mute-Mutt to find it standing immediately behind him, maw sitting in the air far too close to his helmet for comfort and still drooling. Hemson freezes stock still for a moment, before reaching behind him and dragging the chunk of meat to his hands. He eventually gets it into his hands, and gingerly places it in the monster's mouth. Seemingly pleased by his offering, the Mute-Mutt backs away from Hemson and lays down on the floor nearby to enjoy its newfound meal with gusto. One of the human heads may or may not've winked in Hemson's direction, it's difficult to tell from the video feed.

"Phew. That went better than expec-"

Put him on comms
"Private Hemson, report, you requested an audience? We're sending someone there, is it urgent?"

"Well...maybe. Probably. Uhh, how to put this.

The Mute-Mutts REALLY want us to go to that weird canyon we found earlier."

>>41922876
"Can you describe how you know this?"

>>41922876
>having mute-mounts as bros
Oh yes

"It's a compulsion. I think they did something to me while I was unconscious, but I can't tell what just yet.

What I do know is that I have a burning desire to go to that Canyon. Can we go to that canyon now?"

>>41922715
Eh, we can put them in the monster den and still go through the door later I think.

>>41922876
I think we should send an expedition to the canyon then

>>41923074
Last time we sent scouts that way, we were turned away by some fungus-men creatures, weren't they? What do we need, a heavier expeditionary force?

You sent like 5 dudes, it was a free action sort of thing. they were chased off by some monsters that they didn't really get the chance to identify.

If you establish the Insectoids in the nearby den it'll require an action an resource to happen and it'll be presumed that you wired the place up with some basic surveillance and such.

>>41922716
Yes, I'd like to know just how good these guns are.

>>41922790
>>41923235
We appear to be out of basic resources, I'm guessing we could spend a supply but it would be more than necessary (plus we might need it for trade)

So actions (next thread) will be
1. Explore the Strange Canyon
2. Scavenge for Resources?

I can vote that.

>Ray Gun Report
The guns are incredibly advanced in manufacture, bearing the distinctive precision indicative of Think Tank manufacturing equipment. When fired they emit a short energy pulse in near-infrared that is focused by several devices in the frontal cone of the weapon. The methodology of the actual pulse and focusing mechanism is rather brilliant. When it strikes a target it simultaneously ablates a layer of the surface and sublimates it all the way to plasma, causing a small explosion. and penetrates to cause deeper heat damage. The result is a concussive, prolonged burning effect that is particularly effective at penetrating natural armor and also has the potential to fry electronic systems due to interference from the plasma.

A very nice weapon. Your power armor troopers will be quite a terror with them once they're all equipped.
