QM: Lady Mayari offers you the services of her ring ship and will provide willing volunteers from amongst the disciples of the Cislunar Church. However, she respectfully requests that you permit the Cislunarites to promulgate their faith within your sector, and especially amongst the scientists and researchers within the Arcturus Xenoarchaeology Research Institute. If you consent to this, she will provide you with everything for free.
QM: consent to the proposal of
>Baron Sleng and his prison barge the Ramasun: roll 1d100 + 50 (cost in ISD). You can have your choice amongst his prisoners. The Baron, who appears to be motivated mostly by mercenary proclivities, will place himself and his crew at your disposal.>Lady Mayari and her ring ship, the Cislunar Church: providing you permit her to preach the teachings of Cislunarian theological doctrine, the evils of the demon Gravity, the weight of planetary sin and the redemptive hope offered by Transition, she will offer her services entirely for free>roll 1d100Use the "volunteers" to experimentally research:
>advancement in Haemolymph: try to improve the tolerance of space passengers to ever increasing doses of this postmortal serum. Success would enable any spaceships to manoeuvre at inhuman velocities and accelerate beyond >advanced neural connectome tractography: try to achieve a breakthrough in scanning and virtualising consciousness. You believe this may represent the first step in travelling without the need of a starship at all.>All of these choices are horrifying. You are beginning to wish you chose the Knowledge Asset "Ethical Research Committee". Stubbornly persist in trying to continue your space program experiments independently and entirely on your own.QM: because the Independent Friends Alliance kindly offered to lease the science spaceship, the Expeditionary Research Vessel, to you here
