That's saying something about this game's speed, doesn't it?

Anyway, level ups time!

Now updating HP spoiler, give a minute! HP spoiler updated, get to posting!

The blast severed the guard's head! You could say it was... gone with the wind.

Hit: 117+1-15 = 103, autohit!
Crit roll: 6, crit!
Damage: 15-3 = 12x3 = 36dmg

You decide to make the prototype a test-place for the Warp Modulators, but otherwise the design will be conservative.

"More time for testing and fixing if anything does not go as planned." You explain.

6

Your designers are extra fast with this one!

Design Name: Peninsular

TYPE: Corvette
SIZE: Small

Traits: Experimental (Warp Modulators)

Projected Marks:

AFC: 4
HLS: 2
LRO: 2
MAN: 4
PRB: 0
SAR: 1
SCC: 1
Total: 14

You go through the file.

A) "Lackluster. You can do better!"
B) "Looks fine to me."

24 Voting phase begins!

Choose between Option A (ending the chapter now) or Option B (staying and killing up all enemies).

After 24 hours pass, the option with most votes will be the winning one and the game will progress accordingly. To ensure no electoral fraud in here, only the current Players can vote and they can only do so by posting their vote here, in the OOC Thread.

You decide to have a conversation with Mrs.Surar.

7!*

You manage to convince her that such a fine vessel was made at such a budget, a larger budget will only get the UEP forces much better designs and stronger research division.

"I've always wanted to put my business work into something important." She sighs, looking as Oceanic slowly flies past the observatory's windows. "Now I know where our budget must be directed - into the stars! I shall do my best to convince the higher-ups in Parliament to give your Bureau more money at the next budget session."


You receive the Parliamentary evaluation of Oceanic-class cruiser.

In the report, the Committee points out that it is a design that was put together quickly nad without proper development, owing to the short deadline. Despite this, your Bureau managed to fulfill some of the demands set by the Parliament. The Committee believes the Bureau is doing its work and should be given better support from the Parliament.

Speaking of the Parliament, they've sent you the new design demand...

"They want a corvette." Your department heads look at you.

"And that's it?" Your Chief Designer asks, looking at his colleagues in confusion.

"Apparently, yes? There are no further demands on the marks or capabilities of the craft." You explain. "We have until Stardate 26.6 to present the Parliament's committee a space-worthy Corvette."

"At least this time we have much more time. Should we spend the time on beefing the vessel up? We could make it bristling with small batteries and anti-fighter cannons." The Chief Designer is followed by the Dr.Volantis, your Science Director.

"My team is few days from testing the 'Warp Modulators', as we call them for now, in the field on board a science vessel. If we postpone the design making until 26.0, we could implement the Modulators into the corvette's engines."

As for making the corvette extra-shooty...

A) "Firepower is important, and the more guns the better!"
B) "Let's be conversative with the corvette's design, Chief Designer."

As for waiting for Warp Modulators...

A) "We will deliver them a prototype and test Dr.Volantis' theories in one go!"
B) "I would rather not implement experimental devices into this design, Mrs.Volantis."

You open up the communications with the Parliament commitee responsible for overseeing your process, and try to negotiate a deadline delay so that your engineers and designers can work out those radar problems.

Next day you receive your reply - the deadline has been graciously extended to Stardate 25.8.

You immediately contact Al-Fadil and inform him of the change.


Your design teams give the Oceanic a green light; they've done all the tests and they've done all they could to ensure its marks are as high as on the paper.


Few days later, the Parliamentary Commitee and the Design Bureau host a presentation for the important figures within the Parliament. There are quite few nods of approval and jubilant shouts, albeit some of the MPs seem rather unconvinced. Perhaps they wished for something 'better', but you shrug - it's first design and on a very short notice.

As the banquet rolls in and everyone gets their Martian Margaritas and Jovian Jellies, you spot two important figures of the Parliament in the crowd.

There's Rudolf Goethe, a retired Admiral and leader of the populist Falange party, enjoying the view of the Oceanic, with his affiliates. Few meters away, Agatha Surar, the Parliament's Treasurer, is discussing things with her aides.

Maybe it's time to strike a chat?

A) I would rather keep myself and the Bureau without political affiliations, thank you.
B) Masses follow the Populists, so by being friends with them I'm friends with the public, right?
C) If the Treasurer herself backs me up, the budget increase is guaranteed!

It's a tieeeeee *holds rock crystal angrily*
