You remember when you yourself were among them- during your flight career. While not a Hegemonic Enforcer or Shock Trooper- you were still part of the military. You remember the death-preparation ceremonies. Being placed with a vest that simulates being shot, and laid into a sensory deprivation tank. There was a bit of hazing in that- the ones who panicked or beat against the walls of their tanks were considered cowardly. You laid yourself very still as to not reveal any weakness. Still, you always felt it was a bit morbid. How strongly that lesson seemed to be ingrained in them.
“My Lord, the research teams are ready to begin a new project; if it is not interrupted you.”
<span class="mu-g">”No no... Now would be a good time.”</span>
Even now, the crew of the sacrificial ships are flying off to their mission. In the meantime, you are preparing for the battle at the Stand. Time to choose your next project.
Because you did not use the <span class="mu-i">Bio-Bots as Assassins</span>- a new research project has been unlocked. <span class="mu-s">Bio-Bot Treachery</span> will be an attempt to guide and insert the Bio-Bot agents in the Consortium into sensitive positions of the attacking fleet- with an attempt to assassinate key officers or sabotage various ships. Because the Bio-Bots have not yet been discovered, all of them attacking at once during the battle could be very significant and get the maximum value out of the surprise- though in the end it will still only be a few rogues among the very large and otherwise unified attacking fleet, so how effective it is compared to other research options is a bit of an unknowable variable.
What research project should we begin next?
>Bio-Bot Treachery
>Energy-Scattering
>Laser Efficacy
>Ship Boarding Tactics
